Heading to New York, New York!

My updates are looooooonnnnggg overdue. But things at work have been crazy busy. Anyways, here is an update of what has been going on in my life.....

New York, New York - a city so nice they named it twice! I am finally going to New York!!! Have gotten my US Visa. Plane ticket booked. Hotels sorted. I am super super excited that this long awaited trip is finally happening.

I will be travelling solo for the first time and I am extremely looking forward to the adventure that awaits! A trip where I get to be totally selfish. I can do what I want, whenever I want without having to worry if everyone else is ok with it. Totaly unadulterated freedom!

Apart from that nothing else much has been happening. Definitely nothing new on the relationship front. Had not had a date in ages and no one has really struck my fancy.

On the job front, I have quit my job. It has become hopeless working here. The lack of support and understanding from the Management has made it incredibly hard for the project to be a success. So I am now currently serving out my 3 months notice period. My last day is on 8th November 2016, right before my trip to NYC. I can now go on my break without having to worry about work.

Fingers crossed, there is a particular job that I am eyeing. Really hoping that I get it. Don't wanna say much yet as I don't want to jinx it. But wish me luck!!!

Crowdfunding

I started a crowdsourcing campaign to try and raise additional funds for my long awaited and long anticipated trip to New York City. I thought to myself, what is the harm in trying right? With the encouragement of a friend, I finally got around to doing it.

You can access my campaign at NYCDebs. If you are feeling generous please feel free to contribute towards my campaign...:) Even a small gesture of USD10 is good enough...:P If you are feeling less generous then how about a USD1 or USD 5 contribution..:P

Gracias, in advance...and have a great SUNDAY!

Night owl

Hmm....why do I always feel most alive at night? When half the world is asleep and my friends are all tucked in to bed, I find myself here twiddling my thumbs wondering how to fill up my time. I need to live in a city that never sleeps! Or I could find a way to make money during my free time!! 

I am sitting here in front of my laptop with a glass of wine to the right of me. I have a serious case of the wanderlust and trying to figure out how to make my dream of going to New York come true. Now, that is a city that never sleeps! I hope that I can make it there next year...:)

I guess the upside of being single is that it gives me more time to focus on what I really want in life without having to take into consideration the feelings of your partner. For eg. if I wanted to re-locate it would be much easier to do so! So that is what I am going to do - to take a leap of faith and work towards my dream. I know what would make me happy, but it is a risk that I would have to take. Meanwhile, I guess the dream is something that I would have to slowly work towards to, but surely I will. I have been putting it off for too long. It's time I did something about it. That will be my happiness project. It is not that I am incredibly unhappy. But as Gretchen Rubin says, what can I do to make myself happier?

On my flight back from Bali, I discovered this new series whilst scrolling through the in-flight entertainment menu. It is called "Selfie" and it is super funny. Or at least to me it is! Hahahahaha....gonna just chill and watch a couple of episodes before I head to bed.

New York City dreaming

Before I say good night for today, I just wanted to share this picture with you. I just can't get over how beautiful this picture is. I have it as the theme for my Google Chrome browser. It has always been my dream to visit the Big Apple. This is my motivation to get there fast!!!

Nite...and sweet dreams.
