I know that I am a bit late... But here it is... Time for me to reflect on my doings and achievements (if any) for the past year...

*******************************************

School Life

Third year had proven to be hectic and stressful... With the quality of the lecturers and tutors, I had truly lived up to my nickname of being a "lost sheep drowning in the Pacific Ocean"... The amount of unbelievable workload almost squeezed the previous breath out of me... I had never in my entire schooling life (I supposed), being so despaired and worried... The modules never quite settled right with me, with the only exception for the literature course... Having to go the exams with minimum understanding certainly did not boost one's morale... Every paper I had sat for screamed disaster with a capital D... And I was undergoing a nightmare like never before... My thoughts and fears revolved around failing badly for most modules... I thought that I was going to create a brand new record for university life - one that should never happen... One that required me to repeat the third year modules... No!!! I do not desired to live that horrible life again!!! So, imagine my utmost relief when I saw my results... I had passed with no donkeys... Thus, farewell third year!!!

Having successfully completed my third year, I would be embarking on a new journey down my university route... This aspect saddened me most, after I found out that I am just getting a pathetic 540 bucks as allowance... Though one of my friend pointed out that I would be getting an extra 540 bucks due to my longer IA terms, I would like to regretfully point out that 540 bucks per month is really not enough... At least, not enough to pay off half the amount of school fees for three semesters... Yeah... going IA did not translate into not having to pay school fees... I only realized that I still have to pay for just consulting the tutor who would be supervising me from my friend's blog... Pardon me but, *&@&$%^$@&*YRE*T$@*...

Well, all I could do now is to take one step at a time... Hopefully all would turn out fine for the IA... Hopefully...

Work

What can I say... Losing a job that paid me so well had its own impact... At least I am no longer financially secured in paying off school fees and other expenses... However, I had to admit that my boss had really helped me out... He had understood my situation ever since I landed myself with that job, and had in fact been for a few months before my last day, paying me for doing nothing (practically)! Thus, I am grateful towards him... It is real hard in those days to find a boss who could sympathize with the worker, doing all he could to lend a helping hand... And he had allowed me to pick up the basics of accounting, giving me an alternative if I should consider a job other than what I had studied... So, it would be better to have everything ending like this... Demanding to keep the job when there is no work for me to do would be asking for too much right? At least, I am not prepared to be one 无赖... Hahaha ;p

At Home

Other than schooling or going to work, I must admit that I am starting to fear the idea of staying home when the two devils are at home... They are my 克星... Tempers fly when they are around... And I am always at the losing end... I can never understand why should I tolerate the nonsense and keep mum over their extremely rude behaviors... Their demands are things that would never had been allowed in my house... And yet, despite the need to discipline the becoming from bad to worse devils, my mom always scolded me or my brother (when he is at home) whenever things goes unfavorable... This had impressed upon the devils that they are always never wrong, and the misbehavior continues... Eventually, I grew to dislike both of them (in fact very much)... I am irritated over my lack of freedom at home due to both of their presence... I am shaking in anger over the constant noise I heard while I was trying so hard to concentrate on studies... What in the world had I done to have two devils dictating my life???

Life at home became miserable because of the two devils... Since this is going nowhere (my anger is on the edge of setting up an explosion), I had better curb it here... I am currently trying hard to ignore all the happenings regarding those devils... Wish me luck in achieving that... All in all, I just hope that my encounters with them would decrease when I officially commence my IA... Life is never more better than the weekends, the only two days when those devils are out of my life... Haiz~

My Wishlist

1) To complete my nearly finished Force Impulse Gundam...

2) To continue learning Japanese... My progress is a bit lacking due to the time constraint... Furthermore, I really need someone who could speak this language to correct my pronunciation...

3) All goes well for IA... And that I could actually enjoy and learn new things to make the stay worthwhile... Despite the pay...

4) Stay 元気 as I had been for the past month...

The list would go on and on ... Just hope that all things are smooth sailing in 2007!!!
