bad day

i was feeling relieved as this bad day comes to an end, then while i was checking my inbox,

I'VE GOT MAIL FROM AMMARA IN CHIANGRAI!

which got me all excited and really made my day. i REALLY want to go and visit them in june. though ammara probably won't be there this june :(

okay i guess today wasn't all that bad. my days in the office are getting better. more people to talk to. may even have secured another tutee haha. yeahh need to earn money to feed myself and fund my material desires. not getting allowance anymore.

well, i pray for more sunshine in the days to come.

a good year?

it's been a long time since the last post. the As came and went, so did the holidays. the few months had been very eventful but i'd leave the many stories to tell on another day. for now i've got 15 minutes before knocking off.

it's 2nd jan 2008 today and it's the first year in many years that i don't have to go to school on this fateful day. instead i donned the workclothes and headed for the office today. my first day had been busy, though dry, but i'm not expecting it to get any better. what more can you ask of an admin job, really? well the restless me isn't suited for this sort of job at all, but i'm not gonna complain given that i was too lazy/didn't have time to find a job after As. and they pay well (i need to fund THAT europe trip!)

anyhow. i'd anticipate a busy year ahead. few days ago i realised that despite there being no school, i do have to juggle quite a lot of commitments this year. which beats rotting and stoning at home i guess. but of course i'd still make time for the people who matter(: i hope this is the start of something good.
for the past few days/weeks i'd been feeling apprehensive about the year ahead, cos of the very major changes that are gonna take place in my life. people coming and leaving, some for a while, some for good. changes that i'd need to adapt to. and the whole uncertain-about-what-lies-ahead feeling which i really hate. but we've all got to move on i guess.

as for the year that had gone... i must say that it'd been an exciting one. full of ups and downs, smiles and tears, highs and boring moments. and i'm really thankful for the people who have stuck by me and supported me through the hard times. and am really glad to have crossed paths with all my peers at rj. let's all do keep in touch yeah?

all right going for my first japanese lesson at bunka now. quite excited about it after a whole day of routine paperwork. i hope i make cool friends in class :D
