It's been 6 months since I last blogged. I have to say time flies, just like that. Day in , day out, the routine was to work and home and next day work again. And now, it's six months after, I'm writing on the second day of Winter in OZ.
So what have I been doing? Work wise, I believe I'm at my peak, learning what I need to learn and actively trying to work better and show my capabilities. In such a big company, I have to work double or triple as hard to show I can do better. So, I have to say, putting myself out there and actively taking up roles and opportunities given is my best attributes. I'm not proving to anyone, but for a 27 (turning 28) year old lady, I have to be ahead of the rat race and prove I am something. It's more of proving myself the point. I'm not sure if anyone from work read my blog (I hope not! :P). If they do, I guess it's for them to understand me better. If they don't, all good. :)
Life in Sydney? I have been asked this a zillion times, am i staying here for good? I had plans to head back to Malaysia for good but I would also want to maintain my PR. And for now, work have been good to me, so I shall give it a few more years here and hopefully with all the experience, if I were to head back to Malaysia, I got something to bring back with me. :)
I have to say every time anyone ask me that question, I would jokingly say, " If I can't find a husband here, I shall go back and find then." It's not possible. I am still single and patiently waiting for the MR RIGHT to jump right in front of me. But unfortunately, I believe I haven't found that guy. Just the other day I was just chatting with a guy friend (one of my best friend's boyfriend) and I did mention I am a guy's best friend. He immediately said, "with your personality, yes.. u are indeed guys' best friend." I know I tend to be guys' best friend as I knows what guys think, to the point I sometimes cannot make up my mind whether is the guy's wrong or the girl's wrong. But I believe I'm always rational enough to be a good listener and give proper advice. That is also my best attribute being Jenny Tan!!! I was advised to be patient and that guy up there have plans for me. So, I shall patiently wait. :)
So, what's next?
Coming month towards end of June, work would be busy as it's heading towards end of financial year in Australia and I'm expecting less sleep. However I've set myself a challenge in this 5 weeks before my trip back to Malaysia in July. Eating super healthy, sleeping well, workout daily and let's see what happen then.
Yes, I'm heading back to Malaysia in July. Thanks to the management for allowing me the time off as it was supposed to be block out period where no one is allowed to go on holidays. But this is not normal holiday. I'm heading back for a 3 days long prayers for my grandma and the ancestors. Grandma had left us since 2010 and now, we are to do a prayers for her anniversary following the Hokkien tradition. I will be back a short one week plus for that occasion.
I am heading back to Malaysia again in September, this time for 2 weddings and possibly a trip in between to somewhere in South East Asia. I'm back for one of my best friend, Wei Teing's wedding, marrying Gan. As a promise made in 2005, we promise to be there for each other's wedding. :) So, I'm glad and honored to be back for it. My cousin, David also decided to tie the knot with his fiance Joline 2 weeks later in Singapore and I've extended my trip just for that. Thanks for entrusting me to do the styling for certain things. :)
Talking about weddings, there are like so many this year that I am truly sorry to those in Malaysia that I cannot come back to every wedding. Sorry to Zek, Jocelyn and Yenn. You know if Australia is as near as Singapore to Malaysia, I would come back. Then in November, Junda & Sharon's wedding, December, if I'm going back, Cousin Joseph is tying the knot too. AL these add pressure to my life.. haizzz...but well I'm happy for them.
For now.. that's all I can update and rant about.. hopefully I'll blog soon..
