Seasons of Life…

In my short (almost) 23 years of life, I have been throough a few different seasons.
Here are just a few of my more favourite seasons…

My childhood: here I learnt to be creative, enjoy life, the importance of family…

Married life (current season): Here I’ve learnt, and am still learning, about patience, love, forgiveness, responsibility, joy.

Pepper (current season): Here I’m learning about responsibility, helplessness, unconditional love, happy tears.

Uni (the first time round): Here I learnt about resilience, teaching, passion, eLearning, adaptability, friendship.

Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!

The Art of Persuasion…

I’m not a people person.

In fact, one could describe me as an ‘anti-people person’.

It’s not that I don’t like fixing problems or what not, I’m just not that good with people. I get grumpy and frustrated easily. So this is something that I’ve really had to work on and try to improve, and by goly, being nice to people works WONDERS!

So it has been my mission the last few days to be nice to people and not get frustrated with them. It’s hard sometimes, but I’m getting there! Of course, this is mostly relevant to work, but is sometimes related to at home and socializing!

In other news, my parentals and A-mon-o-me (Amon) came home from Myanmar, formally known as Burma. Click the links to learn more about it via Wikipedia, though it may romanticise it a bit… So here’s a little collage of the weekend…

1. The rose I picked from my parent's garden. 2. The new iron we bought. $100. 3. Luke playing the burmese harp my parents and Amon brought back from Myanmar. 4. The white gold and diamond bracelet my parents bought me from Myanmar as my graduation present. 5. Amon and Luke trying on Myanmarian clothes...

Of course, I also enjoyed taking lots of photos with Rachel, and catching up with Zoey and her family (including the always adorable Mayana!) randomly at M’ba.

Graduation

I have really strong feelings about all this, but I don’t want to offend anyone, so I’m just going to give you a summary of some words which sum up 30th June 2009 for me- Graduation Day. You can ask me questions about different words in the comments…

Disappointed. University. Professional. Family. Gone. iPhone. Rachel. Tears. Hurt. Camera. Dinner. Moroccan. Big vs Small. Questions. What now?. Mistakes. Remember. Annoyed. Peace?. Hate. Hard. Tired. Stress. Memories. Thirty-one. Hayden. Nana. Two. Bored. Gown. Mint Green. Effort. Worthless. Future. Luke.
