10 days after
It's almost 10 days since I turned 24... How time flies...
Actually I don't feel anything different being a year older... Besides the undeniable fact that 2007 is indeed a bad year for most piggies out there - taken not just from personal experience, but also from experiences of other pigs out there...
Within this 10 days, the weather in Melbourne seems to have dipped to a low... Winter's knocking on the door, and it's true. By the time June arrives, it'll be COLD COLD... I've already started to whip out those thick jumpers, scarves, boots and long-sleeved tops to wear. And we have started to switch on the house's central heating for longer hours to keep warm. But I've started to eat alot alot too~ Been a real glutton recently, eat and eat non-stop. Putting on weight there, and that happens every winter. But still, personally, I do not mind the cold weather. In fact, I LOVE the cold! I can't stand the heat - and take it from someone from a tropical country... -_-;;
I've been really busy working on my final assignment for Issues in International Communication -- 5000 words -- 50% weightage -- Due May 29th. Dang.... I really need to work hard and score for this, cuz my second assignment was a disaster... I was really disappointed with it... Hopefully this one I can score higher. I need to score higher... I don't want to get such un-pretty grades!
Am researching and writing on African Diaspora, a topic I've self-designed... I'll be exploring the link between having a strong cultural identity and its influence on diasporic communities adopting various media (e.g. digitally) to stay connected to their home countries. Why Africa? Cuz there are many resources on it. African slave trade was one huge issue in history. However, it's also interesting to read up on other countries other than the usual Asia, Australia and USA...
And there's still another website to design for New Communications Media.... another 50% of weightage.... Due June 1. At least that won't be very mundane... though I mustn't say I'm a fan or expert in using Microsoft Frontpage.
I've already cut down my working hours to work on my assignments. Anyway, I hope it'll be the last few days I'll work at Chom Chom. I've been job hunting, hopefully I'll get a good job soon (no more waitressing jobs!) I need to leave! I'm not complaining that it's a tedious job. It is very tiring and needs a lot of physical strength and will. I have the physical strength and I'm healthy, but the mental torture that I'm going through is too much for me to endure. It's like every minute I face him the cut gets deeper, and I can literally feel my heart aching and cracking. I cannot take it when he is so warm and friendly towards me at one moment; and the other moment he'll haul an enormous iceberg at me. His temperamental nature is getting more than a little frustrating. But when he sees that girl he is different. He looks at her, I look at his back. I must start to turn my back. And the only remedy is to get out to heal properly.
10 more days to go, and I'll be free. 10 days more to the start of holidays. Just endure a few more days of research and writing. Fighting!!
