Mum's on a tour in the land where fighting full-grown grizzly bears is a mark of a true man, Russia! She left last weekend, and she entrusted the household to yours truly, and it's really going well so far. It forces me to be more independent as well; doing my own laundry, ironing, cleaning and there isn't a car to travel in, but other than all those homely comforts, I find that it's a good way to slowly learn how to fend for myself.
Well, since mum's not at home, I have also been keeping myself busy so that I don't have to stay cooped up everyday. Went out to look and admire the beauty and charm of plants located at the far west side of our little island. (Check out Clara's blog to find out more) Really had a great time with Clara, Loy and Mark, what with all the screaming, laughing interspersed with note-worthy nuggets of information from our ever-so-read-up Loy. Finally got a chance to catch up with Nisa as well after such a long time of not seeing her. Keep working hard and find the path which you want to follow girl!
Got my hands dirty at Sunset Avenue as well and it brought back to many memories from the attachment days, and thanks to Mark who so graciously opened up his house to accommodate me as well. =)
On a side note, it's good to know that the H1N1 virus is slowly becoming less of a threat now. However, I seem to think that it's not that simple to just forget that this ever happened. It certainly is much more severe than the common flu, and although it is easily treatable, let's not forget that it took countless lives in the Americas, and it really saddens me that such viruses cannot be contained easily. But what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, and it really woke me up from my little bubble of a home.
The weather's also been on the fritz lately, soaring temperatures in the morning and cold windy rain at night. Well, not that I'm complaining about the weather though. It certainly helps to cool everything down after the hot spell a couple of weeks back.
Graduation's just around the corner as well, I guess we will part with our beloved lecturers who have helped us love/hate this line of work in these 3 years. Whatever the case, it will be sad to not return to school to study anymore.
