Sophia's first birthday

Feb 28, 2014 - Happy birthday my beloved daughter, Sophia. Thank you so much for enriching our lives and teaching us to be "present" everyday. It is true what they say that it's not until you become a mother yourself that you realise and appreciate the magnitude of your parents love for you. I am very grateful to have my mother and father's love. I promise, Sophia, that I will love you unconditionally and raise you well so that you will grow up to be a beautiful person inside out.

Triple J's in action

Feb 19, 2014 -  went for a long drive with my friends and colleagues Joy and Jaytee. Straight from a night shift, we headed off to a coworker's batch in Doubtless bay - about five hours away from Auckland. It was a great trip with lots of action and sightseeing, i.e., visiting the world famous Hundertwasser public toilets in Kawakawa and a funny interaction with one of the locals, sampling the sumptuous chocolates at Makana's chocolate boutique, frolicking at the Coca cola lake, sampling Manganoi's famous fish and chips shop (which was nice but overpriced), sunbathing and swimming at Copper's beach (which unfortunately ended with Jaytee getting concussed from what we thought were harmless waves) and finally, sand boarding and sightseeing at Cape Reinga (the tip of north island).

Great company, good times filled with lots of laughter and bloopers. These are memories I will treasure forever. I am certainly looking forward to many more trips with these lovely gals!
