Anniversary Day.. Oh Happy Day

30Jan09

It’s past midnight. Yesterday was an anniversary. It’s been a year since I first landed in Auckland.

I woke up hyper, raring to go. Had a breakfast date with some hotcakes and maple syrup.

Spent the whole day pretty hyper-ish. Happy cos I couldn’t believe that it’s been a year since I arrived here.

I look back, and see all the different events that happened, so that I could be where I am. And I’m pleased and amazed.

If certain things didn’t happen (financial difficulty, study overseas, dad passing away), I would have never had the opportunity to be where I am, be who I am today.

I’m happy cos:
- I’m in NZ, on a work visa, with the opportunity to apply for residency after
- I’m working in an exciting business
- I’m living in a wonderful place, where there’s lots of space
- I’m in a great relationship.. although at times he irks me… but that’s a given

I’m growing as an individual. Reading more, exploring, asking myself questions. Something I wouldn’t have the maturity nor patience to do before.

Right now, financially, it’s tight. News everywhere of doom and gloom. But I seem a light… a score of lights shining in the distance, and lighting my path.

I may be living on a very very tight budget, but I’m happy. Cos I know things can get better.

Right now.. it’s bliss. Utter bliss…
