"The world is your oyster", says Mum.
Right now, it is like this.
I can either enter the blue door or the red door.
The red door will open up a world that is unfamiliar, at times lonely, sometimes scary. However, that world is large and its opportunities indefinite. Existing in this world will lead to self discovery, new friends and new adventures.
The blue door will open up a world that is small, but it is comfortable. I can adjust easily to this world. There will indeed be challenges, but the familiarity of it will support me. The red door is accessible from this world, but the blue door makes the journey to it much longer and more difficult.
The worst part is the world I currently live in is coming to an end. There is a time limit and I have to pick a door before life as I know it collapses.
Help?

Apologies.
I said I would try to be diligent with my posts but months have passed and I have let myself down.
Attempt at consistent blog writing: Take Two
2009 is proving to be incredible. Yes, we are only 3 months in but I've had more fun in those few months than I can remember having last year. Here is an update.
In February, Wenhui and I went to Melbourne for ten days. I absolutely fell in love with the city and have every intention of moving there someday. Perhaps at the end of this year I may impliment this plan if jobs are unavailable here. I could rant on about Melbourne for this entire post but I wouldn't want to bore you all. Met some wonderful people, shopped up a storm, ate incredible food and enjoyed the simple things like trams, walking, statues and tall buildings.
Since arriving back to windy/rainy/scorching/freezing/sunny Wellington I have commenced my third year of university. I think I am in denial about the fact that when this year ends, I'll have to exit this safety bubble I've been living in for the last 21 years. The future is a daunting thought, particularly when I have no idea what I want to do with my degree. University is going okay, so far. The pressure hasn't really hit yet so my weekends are continually alcohol fuelled, sleepless and full of adventure.
I have met some new friends this year and they are...I have no words. I adore each and every one of them. Louie, my good friend, and I had discussed that we don't really have a mutual group of friends. Well now we've established this little group and they're all such fun, friendly and gorgeous individuals. Thank goodness for Cuba St, red wine, gigs and cigarettes.
Well to end this post, I'll share with you all the one thing that's making my heart throb uncontrollably right now..... I have tickets to see Flight of the Conchords!
This is the only New Zealand show they're doing before heading to the States and WE got tickets. I have to travel a wee distance to get to the venue but still, considering they're my number 1 listened to band on LastFM, I have 95 of their tracks on my iPod, own their television series on DVD plus their BBC radio series and album on CD, and I'm generally pretty much obsessed with.... It'll be worth every minute :D

Post Weekend.
On Saturday I had a rather epic evening. It was a night of "experimenting" which, thankfully, went very well. I have decided that, as this is my last year of being a student, I need to try more things. Once I am a boring corporate woman in the working world I won't be able to get away with such antics. I suppose you could call this my new years resolution... Stay tuned to see if I actually fulfil this goal.
I slept for twelve hours last night and I feel amazing. Yesterday I was a zombie after not sleeping on Saturday night.
Wellington is displaying its beautiful weather today. I feel pretty happy to be alive.

Greetings.
I have been intending to create a blog for quite some time now and I am pleased that I have finally got one up and running. I will try to be consistent with my posts, although that'll be difficult once uni starts again. I don't really know what else to say in this first post, other than I look forward to watching my erratic mood swings, peculiar day-dreams, joys and sorrows, thoughts and rants being put online for the world to see...should be entertaining...
