Chasing after your Dreams

Guess as a mother now, I've different sets of priority. Things that was once my basic monthly or half yearly pampering is now an indulgence.

Things like doing my hair, nails, brows and occasionally spa massages. Well, these are my indulgence now cause I can't spare the time to do all these now. If I wanna do my beauty treatments, I gotta find time, take leave from work or place Danielle with her nanny. But I am still thankful that her nanny is always available to help me.. At least I have that 10% time to myself.

Aside all these little beauty treatments that I treat myself.. 1 thing that I've always wanted to do is

TO TRAVEL ALONE!

Yes, so far.. I've only travel alone to states to meet my ex bf. So basically the traveling from Singapore to San Francisco, I'm alone. But to travel and set foot in a country alone, I've yet to do so.

It's my little wishlist that I can do that. I always wanted to go somewhere for 3 week - 6 weeks, immersed myself in the countries' sight and couture. Live like the local ppl do and maybe take some short courses here and there.

See, when I have the time.. I don't have the guts and money to do so. And when I've the money and guts, I can't leave my daughter without her mother for so long.

Guess its always good to live your dreams while you can.. before other commitments tie you down.
And as for me, I guess I can only live my dreams when my daughter is older and maybe if financially and time allows, I might even get my hubs and her along to fulfilled my dreams and my husband too (that's if we are thinking of the same thing along the same line).

Someday... I will be like this picture above.. Sitting in the tub with a glass of sparkling wine in my hand and ponder... that I've achieved my dreams..

It's time for us to dream big and pen it down so that 1 day you can actually strike off and say, I've done what I've dream!! Fighting!!

Have a great week ahead!

My T&CO necklace isn't broken but it's just all tangled up and I can't wear it!! I need to take really good care of my accessories!! Haiz!

Day 7: Something that starts with F

That will be me!! and I'm getting fat!! Time to work up and diet!!!

Day 8: Shape

After so long, I get to shape up my nails and get a nice shade of red on it!! Loving it!!

That's all that I have at the moment...

It's weekend again and I'm planning to head out for some random snap. Can't always stay home over the weekends and just watch my tv drama serials. Need to get out and enjoy the nature and sunlight!!

Have a great weekend!

My dream... & goals??!

At the age of 28 years old going to 29 years old.. I find myself at a turning point.
It seems that I've spent most of my adulthood, working, traveling, spending money and etc. I feel that I didn't achieve anything beside the point that I got married and have a HDB flat.

For my career, I spent 8 years working at Yamaha Music (Asia). From part time staff to full time staff. I switch from Contemporary Music School to the Yamaha Music School and than transfer to head office to do backend admin support jobs for all the music school. Still none of the achievement that I can really shoutout. All I have is experience from front-line to back end work.
Having been in the working field for so long, many will think that I have saved alot of money.. Hmm, that you're wrong! I suck in this department!! I hardly save. That is really bad........ but I'm trying hard to work this out and hopefully I can learn to save more than usual.

Work can be quite mundane... but still with my new change of job, it has brought me new challenges and I hope I can achieved abit of something in my new work place.

I'm hoping that someday... I can do something that I truly enjoy and love!!

Have a good Monday!

Must.... drag till month end!

I'm not sure of the rest of the working adults out are having the same or had the same problem as me.

We live paycheque to paycheque....

Well... I admit, I'm very lacking in the Savings Dept.. thus it's my Year 2013 resolutions to save $$$.

In order to do that, I have to shop less, spend less, don't take cabs or eat out often and clear my debts!!

I know it's going to be difficult and tough! But I have the determination to do it! 

I know that it's a healthy benchmark to save at least 20% of your pay as savings each month... but knowing that I have some other stuffs that I will need to clear... I have plan to start off with 10% for 6 months, 15% for another 6 months and every 6 months increase by 5%. I have to do it!!!!

Maybe I should next of a way to increase my source of income?

Hmm....

Jia you every one!!
