#496 - I need faith

Home is truly where the heart is and for that reason, I've become more of a homebody. But that doesn't necessarily mean I detest going out every now and then. I just enjoy home the most, going out drains me. Also belated happy lunar/Chinese New Year! Frequented my cousin's house a fair bit and had the typical festive NYE dinner. Bitter and I went to the inflatable Stonehenge on its very last day here in Sydney and it was worth the 40 minutes spent waiting our turn. It was practically a colossal jumping castle but in Stonehenge form and was ridiculously fun to jump around (: Really felt like I was 6 years old. Ate at Surry Hills (Devon), the heaven of foodie aficionados. Then trekked to the wildly popular picturesque Grounds of Alexandria for a lunch date with Bitter & W who I hadn't seen in a long time - divine, reasonably-priced food shared with good friends, what more could I ask for.
Managed to hold a whole phone conversation with my aunty who I had previously never properly talked to - long story short, different dialects and my inability to communicate in the common tongue. Could comprehend and reply to almost everything and although it isn't much and I'm nowhere near fluent, I still feel just a tiny bit accomplished. There's been a huge improvement from just over a year ago. Persistence pays off :) Although I haven't practised writing since November. I've got exciting plans for the end of the year and it will hopefully be my official grown-up trip by myself.
Yet another interview tomorrow and I just feel exhausted and sick of unsuccessful applications or getting through stages but no final offer or no reply ever. Nearing 100 now. I'll bitterly say nepotism is unfair but I'm still a culprit of it. Experience experience experience, the magic word. If no one offers chances or we don't know anyone, we'll all be stuck.
