Nemo sine vitio est

It's been a good month, hasn't it?
A lot of things have occured, too many infact. I'm happy most is over with, but there are still some that trouble me. Such as...My uni offer and my future tertiary pathway. Even worse, my P's test is on the same day as my Uni advice day, which is compulsory for undergrad students. Arghhh, it had to be this Tuesday, not Monday or Wednesday...but Tuesday =/. I guess fate placed another barrier again. Now I gotta wait unitl Mid-March to be able to find a spot to book the test. Another 2 months delay, which does annoy me. I just want to get my P's over and done with, get my license and have some sort of freedom to drive around. I can't wait for that day.

Back on tertiary studies, I've been enrolled as a Bachelor of the Arts student at Melbourne Uni. There are times I wonder if this is the right choice, or if there are more opportunities to get into my desired course. (B.Comm). I guess...I'll have to wait for my second/third round offers from Uni to see if they accept me into my first preference course. If not, I'll have to transfer sooner or later. That means more hardwork, which I estimate a GPA of 80 to transfer course. Its a lot of work, but hopefully it'll pay off.
To me, a Bachelor of Commerce + Dip. of Languages (Jap) sounds better than Bachelor of Arts (majoring in Economics and Japanese), but if i'm not able to change courses, then thats another barrier fate has placed in front of me -.-". I'm really happy to be able to study at Melbourne though, as when I first walked on the campus, I knew it would be a good place to study at. I'll have to see what is in store for me in the future.
Work has been really busy, especially during christmas. There was a lion dance held at the restaurant, with 90 odd people attending, making us fully booked in the hot summers of January. The performance wasn't bad, but I was stuck near the counter, near the drums, behind a semi-opaque glass. All I saw was blurry streaks of red, dancing to the loud drum, cymbals etc. But I have to admit, I'm glad 2009 is coming.
On the note of 2009, Happy CNY eve to those that celebrate. For the younger generation, it means a lot (red packets anyone?), family gatherings and festive celebrations. I wished my parents took the day off, i haven't seen them take a good rest for CNY since I was born. They've practically had to work through CNY each year. It sucks, and i hope next year, they do take a well deserved break.
I haven't done anything else these days, just the days i play badminton with friends, or go out to see a movie or two. The rest, I spend my days playing games....haha, how nerdy of me. But the weather here has been crazy, hot weekdays, cold weeknights, rainy weekends. The Joy of Melbourne i have to admit, four seasons in one day, and the only thing missing is snow :D. I still wish to see real snow fall one day, it would be nice. Maybe i could one day, after Uni with my Japanese degree :P. Another future perspective to look forward to.
well...Happy new year to you all. Hope 2009 is better than 2008, more happiness and less sadness! :)
Enjoy the lion/dragon dances, family dinners and happiness achieved through the lunar new year. Catch you guys next time, until then, take care and be safe for 2009!
