Spend 4 days learning about the new project I am now on. It sounds interesting and there will be lots of challenges to be faces especially with the time frame. However at the moment my role in this project has yet to be confirmed and I am in limbo.

It was my 1st oversea trip and it was exciting! I’m glad I went this month as oppose to the original date I was suppose to go. I had more time to plan and I don’t have to worry about work when I get back. There are many lessons learnt from this trip but I did have a wonderful time with my friends, especially Jane as we continue our travel to Singapore and Vietnam.

CAS was indeed a learning experience and I was so glad Jane, Sean and I were able to celebrate our one year at Accenture together.
Singapore was beautiful and I wished we stayed there longer just for the shopping. I definitely plan to go back next year for a small trip.
Vietnam was very .. busy. I met my mum’s family for the 1st time and it was overwhelming. I probably won’t be going back unless my mum comes with me.

A chapter of my life is closing and the new chapter is yet to be determined. I finally rolled off the H09 project and enjoying the quiet time on the ‘bench’ . As one manager recently told me ‘consider this your time in lieu for all those late nights.’ Too bad it didn’t last for long as I will be starting a new project next week

Surprisingly enough, new friendship are blooming at an unexpected rate that there is not time to stop and think but just react. Some thing new and refreshing and giving me a new perspective on certain things and after sometime, it may help me with some hard decisions.

June has been a busy month of catching up with my old friends and it amazingly to find out all the changes that has happened in their lives. I’m glad I still have my Friday nights to catch up with work friends all night long … I wonder how this will last until our projects consume us?

Lately on the train home, I take a moment to stop and think about where I am today and I feel that I’m not happy because I’m stuck in a dilemma and compromising just won’t cut it any more. I’m becoming attached to things that will end soon, and becoming unattached to things that should last forever.

My Friday nights are spent with this special sunshine

A big weekend celebrating my boyfriend’s 25th birthday – dining out all weekend, lots of gifts and ‘Aim for Fun’ at Homebush Archery Centre. It was awesome fun and I recommend it!

Ken celebrated my 25th birthday by meeting me at work with some red tulips mixed with red roses. We headed off the The Little Snail and the food was delicious. We has a 3 course dinner:
- for entrée:Escargot de Bourgogne (Dozen snails marinated in herb-infused court-bouillon, oven baked in garlic butter) and Paté Maison (Armagnac flavoured duck liver pate with marinated champignons, date chutney and port vinaigrette)
- for main: Kangaroo Fillet (Recommend rare – on garlic pommes purée with Dijon mustard and honey bordelaise sauce) and Seafood Plate (Of grilled salmon, garlic prawns, salt and pepper squid, chilli mussels, beer battered soft shell crab and mesclun salad)
- for dessert: Kahlua Infused Chocolate Mousse and Chef Churned Hazelnut and Praline Ice Cream

We spent the reminder of the night sitting on the harbor enjoying the lights of the city and the water.

I celebrated my 25th birthday with my high school friends at Sahara Turkish Restaurant Parramatta. Ken, Jane, Diana and I ordered the Sahara Platter and there was soooooo much food! Everything was delicious of course (being it is my favourite restaurant.) I got completely spoiled by friends and boyfriend with:
- a big massive vanilla cupcake (from The Cupcake Bakery) ‘cake’ from Jane
- a rose teacup/pot from Jane
- a Nintendo Wii from the girls
- a Sony Cybershot HX5V-HD from Greg
- Apple IPod Touch 8GB from Ken

My two favourite people are leaving me all alone in at BNP. <3 Fabio and Jane.

Last day for my friends on the BNP Horizon09 project and I'm already missing them! Spent the morning buying cards and ordering two yummy cakes (thank goodness these expenses can be reimbursed!) and once the final hour fell upon us, we celebrated with drinks at Ambar.
