The Saturday that I've been looking forward so much has come and passed.
It was my final speech and drama exam. My program was *shrugz* alright I guess, the examiner...a pretty friendly guy who had the fidgeties during my exam, my preparation...mediocre and the results...A+. I suppose finishing it off with a HD is always good...reminds me of all the benefits of this whole journey.
I've definitely grown and changed alot from the lessons with Mrs Burgess, for one...I am definitely more confident when it comes to interviews and speaking out aloud. In most cases, I can pull off an impromptu speech or presentation if need be.
For some reason, I feel that I still have so much more to improve in.
I still stumble and mumble some times and nerves gets to me when I least want it to.
But it's time to let go of the insecurity and be confident. Practice makes perfect is so cliche but so true. Making an effort and reminding myself everyday does make a difference. I know all this...I just need to remember to do it and stop being a lazy bum. That's all.

Update
Sent in VISA application to Canberra. Takes 30 working days to process. Unbelievable, no wonder nothing gets done down there. So glad, I've got it out of the way nice and early.
More information from MBS will be received in December. So I guess, just waiting for December to come. Really want to know where I'll be staying. I checked the college accomodations again yesterday and most of them are single rooms. Oh, I thought I was gonna share with someone. O well, I guess I can speak to mum n chamii through Skype without disruption.
I have completed all my Myer training. Woot woot. Yesh, will finally get paid for all those hours. Starting on the 30th Nov n wait for it, I'm gonna be a hamper girl. Arghhhh *scream* hahahaha. Yeh, I was pretty stunned when I got told. The lady was, 'Sharon, you are books...no, toys...no, christmas trimmings...no, christmas food.' Lol, she really knew how to get my hopes up. =p
Really want to get another job though. I really need to earn quite a bit this holidays. Gah, the exchange rate went down AGAIN. Not happy not happy.

Longing
As I walk around the house, I'm starting to pick up things or see things that I'll miss when I'm away in UK. They're just trivial lil things but I know I'll be longing for them within a month once I'm away.
My favourite noodle soup, made by mummy. I'll be craving for this for sure. Gosh, I absolutely looooove this. Mummy specially made this for me during the exams because I was so sick of A1 bbq pork and chicken. =D Might ask her today to make it.
Also, the comfy lounge and dining table and chairs, that's not technically ours. Spent most of my time studying there.

Congratulations and Apologies.
Chrissy boy and Helen are engaged!!
Congratulations to both of them.
Absolutely LOVED the ring, Tiffany 1.2caret diamond ring. Absolutely grogeous and dazzling.
Went over to Yee Mah's place for an afternoon tea with the girls to chat about their BLCU trip. So jealous, just talking about it makes me wanna go again. Sad, I don't have the cash for it or it would have been awesome. Seeing lao shi and Rita again n probably Masa as well, if he hasn't left already. Missing my buddy.
But anyway, celebrated the engagement at the restaurant. The number of lil Ha cousins remind me of when I was young. Back then we would ask 'So, how's highschool?' or 'Who's gonna get a girlfriend/boyfriend first?' Now, it's who's 'Going to get married next?'
Gosh, time flies. And it really scares me how much has changed. I don't like thinking about it, so I'm gonna just keep on moving. Keep on following the plans I've set and get closer to the goals I've set. One day, where these sorta issues smack into my face, then I'll deal with it.
I know you wouldn't want to hear this but I wanted to apologise.
If you think you are the one at fault, then you are wrong. I'm equally at fault.
After our talk I wondered, am I being selfish when I focus so much on myself. I seem to hurt alot of people and neglect those that I care for. I never intended it. But it's so hard to balance so much and there is never enough time. That's why I can't afford any time for you or anyone else.
Not until, I'm comfortable to do so, I'm not going to let anyone into my life.

Values
Under two totally unrelated circumstances, I was asked what my values were.
Taking a step back and I asked myself instead, 'Does value shape who I am' or rather 'Do I chose my value based on who I am'. Maybe it's all one continuous cycle that changes and never ends.
To the first person that asked me, I said ' I value success and my achievements.'
To the other person, I said 'I value my studies/career, the time I get to spend with my family and friends, and the snippet of moments where I can sit back and reflect (Hermz calls it daydreaming).'
Honestly, I am glad I was asked this question. I now know where I devote my time and life to, and how important it is to me.
