First of all I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New year. Thank you for all your support and words of encouragements. I’m glad that the world didn’t end in 2012 so I could continue blogging my journey from today onwards. I know that I set a lot of goals for myself at the beginning of this year. I didn’t end up achieving most of it. But this year is going to be different, I will set a different expectations for myself, and find ways to achieve it. One of them being opening my own business! Freelance all the way ! 🙂 To start of the year. I will show you some photos that I took at the end of last year. Hope you will like them as much as I do. Took these in half an hour because it was so cold and windy that we had to leave the park. Will definitely do more of these this year!

I was lucky enough to meet michelle phan in Sydney, I really admire her, she inspires me in so many ways. She is down to earth and a real entrepenuer. After meeting her, I believe that anything can happen as long as you don’t give up. It’s her personality and talent that rises her to fame. If you are persistent at what you do then I believe that your one step closer towards achieving your dreams. Good luck everyone!

Oh and this is why I could not stop taking photos there, I wish I had my tripod that day, could’ve spend more time videographing and taking splendid photos!

The other day, I had a pre-wedding shoot with my work mates Joan and Ken. Ken took me to this private pool at Double Bay. I never knew that it was so beautiful, until I actually went there. The place is actually called Red Leaf Pool, Where the Woollahra Municipal council is located. If you are looking for a new place to swim, then this is the place that you you’re looking for.
