Juz finish helping Helen move her things to her removal truck... It seems so final. In a sense, it is final. The year has finished, it's time to stop playing pretend and go back to my (current) full time job, and that is to be a student... Come tomorrow, I would be doing the same as what Helen did today. I don't want to go, I love living in London, but time, sadly, is not something we can turn back or hold still.
Might seem like an appropriate time to evaluate my entire year in London:
Did
- Had fun
- Learnt so much in dealing with people, work, service, skills
- Lived in London like a true Londoner
- Spent more time with my boyfriend
- Made a few very valuable friendships
- Spent my 1st birthday away from home, though not away from family, since Mummy flew over
- Experienced the power of spending the money I make!
- Attended my first wedding (not my, as in my, but my friend's, but u know what I mean)
- Experienced my first losses, however distant (Enhuai, the NS man in the dunking case, is an acquaintance, and Ms Caroline Chan, who is part of the group of 6 ladies missing in Khao Lak Beach in Phuket, she is a regular guest at my hotel). Where ever you are, RIP.
- Experienced my first material loss (Lost my digital camera, on the plane back from Hamburg)
- Experienced the best ever service on an SIA flight - SQ318 21st October 2004 (sorry, I just have to put this in, considering i am such an airplane freak)
Did Not
- Catch any theatre/musical/performance in LONDON!!!! Can you believe it?
- Go to Borough Market
- Go to Camden Market
- I can't think of anymore
Anyway, what's the point of thinking of the "Did not"? It's the "Did"s that are important, that enriched my life, and as for the "did not"s, what you don't know doesn't kill.
