These are updates which have been stored in my computer... not had a chance to update... updates on my holiday later.... It is that time of the year AGAIN Although they seem to happen later and later in the year, it is once again time on board the Singapore Airline flight departing Perth for Singapore. This year marks the 7th year where I make the trip back to Singapore at the end of the year for a few weeks or months as it use to be with the family, celebrate the festive season and my birthday before once again heading back to Perth to the other aspects of my life. In the past few years, I have developed a habit of writing my experience for the year when I am onboard this flight - with laptop battery life permitting. For me, the year 2006 has ended because the next few days are my holiday days, where nothing spectacular ever happens, just me returning home, to the surrounds and habits of pre-Australia. Whether I return to the old habits and to transform to the ‘me” that is pre-Australia only people around me can tell. After all, in the last 7 years, I have changed so much it could not be possible to “hide” every bit from my life in Singapore, and I have never intentionally do it. I just seem to become a different person, like a chameleon, adapting to the different surrounding. What a year 2007 has been. So many milestones have happened…..I graduated! I moved house! I started earning my own money! I took holiday on my own accord on my own money! I have another 1 month to go before admission!!! I still constantly pinch myself because I still find it hard to believe that my dream, my childhood ambition, an ambition that I never though could come true is going to come true. I am going to be a LAWYER!!!! True I am not going to the court room lawyer I thought I will be, but hey I no longer like those litigation bullshit. Handling one litigation matter, made me realise I made the right choice, in choosing Commercial and Property law over litigation. I hate looking at the past and having to work with things you cannot control. I am a control freak, and I hate having to work with the plate you are dealt with cos most of the time, I wish those idiots we have – also called clients, had done something to PREVENT it. Then again, if they did, may of us will be out of a job. On a professional front, things are going well, I love going to work. I love my work and the type of work I do. Although the same cannot be said about the clients, especially the tight ass, discount seeking, yet with expectation higher than mount everest and relentless calling clients. Battery Died……………… All things must come to an end….. With mixed emotions I farewelled 16A Commercial Road, Shenton Park - home to me for the last 5 years. The last 5 years have been beyond incredible, and I have grown, changed and experience so much, and through all the changes one thing has been constant and that is the house and the car. 16A Commercial Road, may not be the most beautiful house in the world and it may not have the best amenities attached to it, but I am really sad to leave it. To leave the house that saw me through so much. As I walk through the rooms, I see memories in all of them, especially in my 2 bed rooms. It is in these 2 rooms, that I have learnt to love myself, learn to realise that I am worthy of so much better and I am not to short change myself. It is in these 2 rooms where I experience the highs and lows of my life in Australia, as a student as a student politician, as a person, as a child and as a sister. The house saw me through my growth, my tremendous growth in the last 5 years, into the person I now am. For better or worse, I had changed and evolved into the person I am today. I will always have very very fond memories of that house. I will missed it as it experience that many milestones in my life with me. |
