| Tuesday, December 13, 2005 Today I received JeanBear's postcards from the plane. Haha..it is a bit funny to receive things about 3 weeks after they have been sent. But it was really nice to receive some mail !! Woke up early this morning and did a bit of frantic calling around and surfing to get the Valedict's gift ready. Not even ready actually, just to get it going. And I think finally got it going. I enjoyed that 2 hours very much, where I was sourcing for help, and had to do some research and had to make some calls to make things work, and also check emails and answer them as well. Very exciting. I hope next time when I am working I will feel the same level of accomplishment as I did today. Finished watching Ah Wong at RoxBear's place at Seasons today. Well actually it is JinBear's place. Thanks a lot for cooking this week ! The food was very yummy !! Except when we had broccoli and carrots for lunch. :( But I did not complain and I DID finish everything haha ! My parents are arriving early in the morning tomorrow for my convocation ceremony. I am a bit excited but scared as well. Excited that I can finally take THAT picture but scared that it will be SO hot that I will sweat and my hair will become limp. Good thing that the hair spray I bought to reinforce the wax works very well with the hair dryer I got in the JCR. Yay !! Fingers crossed, maybe the weather tomorrow will be just as good as today's !!!! 3 years has been a long time. Looking back, I am so much a different person from when I first stepped off the plane on 15th February 2003. Now on the 14th December 2005, this short wonderful journey is coming to an end. I have learnt so many things, met so many people, travelled to so many places. Things I learnt other than the academic bits are like how to communicate with people, how to play pool, tennis, table tennis, foosball and Playstation. Started to speak in Canto, learnt a lot more about Chinese, Hongkie, Japanese and Korean culture. Learnt how to wax my hair, how to cook Western food, how to handle responsibility, how to procrastinate, mix cocktails, eat out well and make decisions. Met so many great people from so many different countries. So many friends. So many places. I loved the fact that I did try to visit around Australia and loved my journey across Victoria state a lot. Also loved the 2 week visit to the desert and how could I forget my 3 trips to Sydney ? 3 years. So many changes. SO many sweet memories. So little regrets. SO MUCH FUN !! Thanks to my parents for giving me the chance. Thanks to my friends for making it so interesting. I am happy right now. |
