On the eve of departure and we are hit by the worst of news - Australia's count of confirmed cases increased by 47 on Saturday to 254 to over 500 as of this morning. I never want to put on mask onboard the plane but if I have to do it to save myself from the virus, I will. In addition to masks I will also be popping Vitamin C supplements to boost my immunity. Don't wanna sound paranoid but the pandemic is speading like wildfire. Better to be safe than sorry.
Am feeling the jitters now. Few more hours to go and the verdict will be out. Am keeping everything I could think of crossed. May the force be with me!

An Eventful Day - June 4th

To many it's just another day, but it will be a special one for me as it marks 3 events - all happening in a day - which I have mixed feelings for...

Apprehensive, because after 4 weeks of agonizing wait my exam results will be released on Thursday. On one hand I am looking forward to it as the wait is tormenting, however there's also the fear that the truth is gonna hurt. Although I always believe that one should hope for the best and prepare for the worst, it's almost always easier said than done. I will continue to HOPE and PREPARE for what may come.
Happy, because I'll be seeing some folks that I've not had the chance to catch up with after I left my ex ex ex employer, ATK. Time flies, it's been 3 years since I bade goodbye to them and although I make it a point to meet up with some friends on a regular basis there are still those whom I didn't manage to meet. So, for that I'm looking forward to the upcoming Alumni get-together.
Keyed up, because I'm finally going to Melbourne for the long overdue vacation. The cold weather, never ending list of must try restaurants, vineyard tour, Great Ocean, awaits me! I think the most memorable part of the trip is gonna be my first time driving overseas on one of the world's most scenic roads on a Mitsubishi Outlander! I hope for it to be a gentle giant and have mercy on my pathetic driving skills ;P

The countdown begins.... NOW! Arrrrrrrgh!!!!
