さしぶり

Wow!
It's been ages since i last blogged.

Okay, to fill you all on what's happening.
1. as usual, a student has loads of assignments so i'm currently busy with my assignments.
it's officially the last week of the semester for me and i still have heaps to do.
most of my friends have one or two more assignments left but i have 5 (i had a final presentation today so i'm left with 5)
what's left?
a. creative pitch for ICC
b. research paper for CTC
c. online quiz for CTC
d. final report for ICC
e. 50% exam for Cont. Issues of Tourism and Events.

2. Directly after my last day of the semester, i would need to start packing my stuff again.
at the end of last month, my family had already started packing but it was just chucking all our things into boxes because of a house inspection that were subjected to.
This time round, it's packing for good. I'd have to take out my belonging out of the boxes and sort it all over again.
I'd have to get rid of stuff, sort it according to things that i'd want to sent back home and also things that i want to keep here.

3. As mentioned earlier, i had a presentation today.
It was a creative pitch for Floriade Nightfest.
I'm happy that i manage to present without reading from my notes and i (we- another girl that i did it with) even got praises from our tutor that we did well.
Our tutor told us and a few other groups (who also did Floriade) that she thinks Zoo Advertising had the Floriade account. Why did our tutor tell us this?
She wants to try contacting them to have our report for the pitch presented to them.
It could mean that we might have the chance to present it to the advertising agency.
So, this is the good news for today and i was just so excited.

4. when i got home, i smell something burning and i was told by my brother that it was potatoes.
The atmosphere in the house was just plain weird. Unfortunately, im so excited that i was blind.
(i guess im just plain self-centered) I spoke to my mum and she listened (i didn't even touch on the no. 3 issue yet) but she was not her usual self. I then noticed that she did not look me in the eye/face at all.
She walked away, my brother sending signals that i so do not get what he was trying to say. I tried asking what's wrong but my mum didn't say anything. I just hugged her and she burst into tears.
This scene is usally the other way round. I still wonder what is exactly bothering my mother.
My mum did not say anything, my dad did not say anything and my brother just told me not to ask my parents.
I'm not satisfied from hearing what was the story about from him but i want to hear it from my mother. All I know now is that my family is in a tight spot.
It's shocking and i'm actually clueless to how i should handle this.
I'm here and typing this but my head is telling me that the reality has not sunk in yet.

Due to this, i don't know what or how to feel.
I couldn't open my mouth to even talk about my day.
i can't talk to anyone so this blog is where i come to type my thoughts.

To those who are reading this, could you all do me a favour?
Please pray for my family. Ask God to help, guide and protect my family and I.
Ask God to give us strength mentally and physically to overcome the situation that we are currently in.
Also pray for my uncle too. I think that he would most be affected with this predicament.
Pray that he would turn to God for help and think rationally. My family needs him.

Thank you all in advance and i do appreciate it if you could keep my family and i in your prayers.
I've got to go and continue to work even harder.

see you all soon.
