New Year - New Blog

It seems like only yesterday I welcomed the Millennium with a slight fear the world was going to end because of the Y2K bug as an under-aged teenager roaming Las Vegas casinos with my family. 10 years later, I’m counting down in the cold at Times Square with my family and two lovely additions. I’m actually old enough to reminisce and recount things that happened “ten, fifteen years ago” which is extremely scary.

So in the last decade I left home, moved overseas, went to boarding school, went to university, met people…and more people, started dating, studied in China, worked in KL, Singapore and Brunei to realise I don’t really like the Asian working culture. Then comes 2009 and I realise I don’t like working full stop. I started a business from a hobby, travelled and wish I could travel forever and stop home to a clean and comfy bed and warm showers.

I suffered a big loss last year but healed with the help of those close to me. But then it all opened up again when I was in Shanghai and learned you cannot take people for granted because they won’t always be there. Time really is of the essence and sometimes the “I plans and I wills” just aren’t as good enough as “I did”. Time lost is not something you can buy back.

So with a new decade in full swing (though the heat and the sleepy streets of Melbourne might suggest otherwise), I thought it was a good time to start a brand new blog. I had fun writing my last one but to be honest I was way too sidetracked with everything else apart from money saving tips.

My neighbour once told my Mum “I see your daughter likes pretty things” so here I present to you “The Pretty Things Project”. I hope 2010 will be filled with inspiration for me and beautiful pieces of jewellery for you. The blog is very much in the works still but that's where I'll be posting from now on. So jump on :)

P.S.: U-Fhern.com is having a stunning special - 50% off all pieces of jewellery from now until Valentines Day! I'm still having troubles setting up the promotion on the site, so if you're interested, please e-mail me at ufc@u-fhern.com.

Happy New Year!

2010 has arrived - a new year, a new decade and maybe some new year resolutions.

I spent the first day of the new year flying and I've finally touched down in London town. I've got two days to do a speed tour of the city before heading to Shanghai.

But as the new year is ushered in, thanks must be given to those who have made 2009 bearable for me :P

Thank you to my friends and family for their constant love and support - I suffered loss but learnt to stay strong. I realised some people aren't as they seem but learnt to trust myself and my instincts.

Thank you to the DTT grads for pulling me through a tough year of work and study. Would not have survived without you all!

Thank you to everyone who has supported U-Fhern.com - 2010 will be filled with new ideas and pretty things :)

And to my Beijing girls - Miss you lots! Hopefully a reunion is near :)

May 2010 be filled with joy and success. The dawn of a new decade I'm sure, will have exciting adventures in store for all.

Lots of love,
