take one step at a time.

i can't believe how time has flown by so quickly. it's coming to the end of April already! we're almost reaching the halfway mark for 2009 and it feels as though new year wasn't too long ago. i'm gonna be off probation end of this month :) and i will try to keep my clean record of not having taken any days off so far hehe. work is good. lots of goals in place for me. which i'm supposed to answer to by 30 June 09. i hope i meet what's expected of me. God help me.

apart from that, weekends are what i look forward to alot :) alottt. i guess it's been that way ever since i started work last year. this year is a little different though. circle of friends seem to have grown smaller with the class of 08 graduating last yr.. but i think with the smaller circle, it's not so much just hi & bye. or eat and bye. we actually get up to doing interesting stuff like going canoeing @ the lake and having a picnic lunch. which makes me sad when i think how the circle will become even smaller next year. bleh. no emo now. no.

anyway, these past few weeks have been eventful. with birthdays, STOMP!, sydneytrip and canoeing :) which meant lots of $$ flying out of the pocket/bank. haha i wish i could go to daddy & mummy and say, i need to go (insert activity here), can I have some money please? or 'daddddd *HUGE smile* i use finish di, can I just have another $50 pleaseee?'. no matter how much i smile at the bank account i don't think it'll ka-ching any more than what i see. self control is what i need. the past few weeks i've spent a bomb. which i have to pay for now. i think working near the canberra centre is both a blessing and a curse. very much a curse when a shopaholic like me finds reason to buy every single thing that attracts my eye. a blessing cos i can shop haha go figure. so this week, my aim is to pay off all my previous bills (or try to anyway). i have to consciously tell myself NOT to walk into ANY shops that will tempt me. gorgeous clothes on the mannequins? no, not going in there. *steps closer*. no, not going in there. i've been successful today. it's only Monday omg. please God please let this week fly by so quickly. also because it's a long weekend this weekend :D woots. i think it puts a skip in everyone's step when you mention public holiday! for the working people, anyway :)

so. yeah. nothing too exciting. sister is pretty settled down. glad she's here :) very helpful arnd the house hehee but yeah, feels nice to have a family member around.
