At the blink of an eye, we are approaching the 2nd quarter of 2009.

I begin to look back at the past 3 years of living it out in Sydney. Have I achieved my goals?

What are my goals, really?

I remembered years ago, while holidaying at the Gold Coast, I chatted with a Japanese guy working in a Quiksilver shop. I asked him what made him come all the way to Australia.

His reply was that he is a surfer. He came to Surfer's Paradise purely to surf the waves, and working in this shop was enough to sustain his daily expenses. He lived around the corner and skateboard to work.

Well, the look on his face convinced me that he is happy the way things are turning out for him. And he has achieved his goals for coming here.

Eliss often ask me if I'm happy here.

What is happiness? I think that to be able to be with her here makes me happy. To see her happy makes me happy too.

My birthday is happening at the end of the month. I bought myself a car as a present last year, guess that is quite hard to be outdone for this year's.
