It seems like only yesterday that I was writing my
reflections for 2011, but suddenly it’s December the 31st, 2012, and here I am yet
again to write my reflections for another year!
I quite like the template I’ve used for the past few years,
so will stick with that:
Uni-wise: alas, I have officially given up on any prospects
of me ever returning to tertiary study. >< the volunteer tutor course
that mother demanded I do for her was nice, but ultimately, it did not lead
onto a paid job, so once I was done with the number of hours required by the
course (fifty), I stopped immediately.
Sporting-wise: again, phew, the parents have abandoned the
notion of gleefully forcing me to attend badminton with them; my personal
contribution to the sporting arena has been thankfully limited to
enthusiastically waving the Wii controller around while playing Wii Sports Resort.
Oh, and did you hear about the new sponsors the Maroons and Blues have found as
their sponsors for next year’s Origin matches? Queensland’s:
seven UP; New South Wales will
just have Coke ZERO. XD
Politically-wise: again, Julia Gillard’s still the head
honcho of Australia;
the main difference has been that Anna Bligh has been replaced by Can-do
Campbell Newman!
Spiritually-wise: well, five years since the cruel and unfaithful
god so wantonly destroyed my life with the brain tumour and stroke went by
virtually unnoticed. We were in Hong Kong at that time; mother was too busy
partying and catching up with all her high school and workmates to care about
that day coming and passing; as for dad, I simply don’t think he had a clue. XD
God has shown me that my life is simply worth piss to him; however, it’s MY
life, and it’s VERY important to me! This year, I stumbled on two quotes that I
think relate to me personally: “Our thoughts are free” and “My soul is not for
you to possess”. I guess that’s just my own way of telling God that while he
can totally destroy my life, restrict my mobility and everything else, my
thoughts are still mine, as is my soul. I’m probably not making too much sense
here, so go read the next line. XD
Work-wise: alas, because of some government funding cuts,
the (useless XD) disability employment agency assigned to find me paid work
simply just let me go! Thankfully, a brother from church has been offering me
some paid editing work (his English is already quite good, but having not grown
up in Australia like me, there are small areas where his English falls through
and that’s where I come in!) meaning I at least have a very small income with
which I can buy the parents birthday, anniversary and Christmas presents with.
However, I will again state that I am looking for steady, paid part-time work;
I’m ready to do ANYTHING (even wash toilets XD) provided I can do so sitting
down.
Everything-else wise: alas, physio still consumes a
ridiculous portion of my life; this year, I did 128 sessions of that, which
lasted more than 100.5 hours! >< Vincent the physio probably enjoys my
entire disability pension. XD
Oh, and mustn’t forget my new year’s resolutions! Like last
year, the aim will be to always continue to improve the mobility of my affected
left hand side and to fall as little as possible this year. Amazingly, I only
crashed to the ground four times this year! Let’s aim for no more than five
falls this year, then~
Alrighteo, wishing everyone a safe and prosperous 2013! See
you next year!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
