the beginning of the end... or the end of the beginning?
Sunday, October 15, 2006
so yeah... i've been yapping on about it for a while now... but graduation IS around the corner. to be precise... as of this instant, at 2.18pm on october 15th 2006, my time at trinity will end in exactly:
1 month, 2 weeks, 6 days, 1 hour and 12 minutes ;p (yes... i have nothing better to do ;D).
but instead of mourning the end and dreading the beginning, i've decided to take a different approach. don't get me wrong... i've had my fair share of mopping these past few weeks. trying hard to ignore the fact that VERY soon, i'll have leave the city i've partially called home with a sense of uncertainty as to whether i'll return. pushing the thought under the cupboard of being separated from the friends i've become attached to. and forgetting the need to say goodbye to the teachers here who have challenged fate to help me get to where i want to go. but YEAH... i'm looking at things from a different angle ;p
someone a little older than me, told me the other day, that no matter how painful... or how much i dread the coming weeks, i can't stop the inevitable. when we left our homes for melbourne at the beginning of the year, this was what we wanted. this was what we hoped for. 10 months of roughing it out... for a chance to live our dreams. so no matter how much the thought hung over my head, the fear will never go away. instead all i can hope for... all anyone can hope for... is the chance to enjoy all the time we have left ;D
... before the stress gets to us and we REALLY fulfill the 4-step purification plan (trust me people... you don't want to know what that is ;D though i can just see mark smiling now.)
so depressive notions aside, everything's great. melbourne's full into spring... which means MORE erratic weather and unpredictable temperatures, but the sun is out! and after a long winter... i'll take sunlight any day ;D classes have become slightly more relaxed... it seems that trinity is easing the tension before they cut us loose ;p
Intinerary for the final term and the months after:
1. tomorrow i will the first person in eap 3v to conduct my final oral presentation: on 'the effects of the film industry on society'
2. mommy and hafiz, along with uncle mel, auntie peng, sarah and sophie will arrive in melbourne on thursday night to spend raya here with me and ridwan.
3. on november 3rd, me and my 5 closest friends will attempt to stop 24 hours as we hit melbourne's grand hyatt hotel on collins street for the trinity annual ball.
4. less than 24 hours after the prom... me, ai-lynn, jacq jacq, mark and kevin get to watch as joel lee dreads his 18th birthday (scared yet joe? ;p).
5. much time and practise to be diverted to my 'bipolar' act for the final drama exam.
6. time off to study...
7. FINALS!
8. RESULTS!
9. trinity college's february main intake 2006 valedictory ceremony on december 5th 2006 at 3.30pm.
10. family trip to christchurch, new zealand on december 10th.
11. back home in kl from december 15th.
12. kevin (and maybe even jacq jacq) to spend a few days in kl with us on the second week of january.
13. university offer letters come out.
14. time starts again...
so now, ladies and gentlemen, i plan on acting on my latest resolution: getting into melbourne university and enjoying the time i have left in trinity and with my friends.
... unfortunately that begins with me finishing up my eap presentation...
