After a weekend of celebrations and holiday-in-lieu again on Monday, today is finally the official opening of 2012. Washed up, dumped my clothes into the washer and off i went for breakfast at the nearby coffeeshop. They have already started playing Chinese New Year songs loudly in the background. More merry making in two weeks time and still a lot to do before i am ready for 2012. The project of the year will be completing the Creative Industries master program at QUT. Already decided on my course options and gotten my Qantas ticket but still no place to stay.. Woo, 6 more weeks to being homeless! Exciting.....

The flight is on 18th Feb, one day after my teaching ends here in Singapore and will reach there just one day before the orientation week starts in Brisbane. Thinking about it makes me hopefully, excited and stressed all at the same time. Somedays i am filled with excitement and hope of all the new things and people i will be enjoying, then somedays when i will worry about if i can handle the challenges of graduate school. To keep my mind off the emotional roller coaster, i keep it busy, focused on preparation work.

Every morning I put three items on the list and start working. If i still have time after the big three, I'll add maybe one or two small items and call it a day. Three is just managable, so i always get to congratulate myself at the end of the day for being such a productive person. Well done!
