Update 18/4

it has come to the end of the holidays, a good 7 weeks but which didnt seem very long. time flied really fast, and now that i know it, im into my last weekend. what have i done meanhwile? sad to say, nothing much. i had envisioned this holiday to be so much more activity-filled than it turned out to be. and that venture with venture era was kind of a flop. hope what i learnt there has indeed built me up, somehow.

looking forward, its come to the last semester! the last academic semester, that is. there would be abit of study during internship after that, but majority is just practical work. counting the credits and the hours spent in school, it is the least for this semester, compared to all of year 1 and 2! ironic huh.. year 3, the advanced level and supposedly most hectic year, is the slackest of all. although it may be abit too early to say... the projects may turn out to be rather demanding and taking up all the extra time we are given. i kinda dread it, now that i discover that 2 of my tutors would be keeping close watch on me and being extra critical, following the unfortunate incident not long ago. i have to stay good, for my internship is at stake!

i just got my new phone. finally. my mom, dad and brother had already gotten their new phones, and meanwhile i am stuck with the very old phone which has served me faithfully for about 2 years despite being dropped, wet and scratched countless times. simple phones are the most hardy. before that it was used by my mom for some time, so this new phone would be my first brand new phone given to me. very modern design, the gadgets are good. all functions there and more, 5 megapix camera. but i still dont quite like it. simply because im not used to the touch buttons and the way it works in general. being a different brand from all the nokia phones ive been using, this would certainly take some getting used to. maybe i would come to like it after some time. but for now, no.

i dont know if its global warming or some fires in indonesia or what, but the weather these few days have been extremely terribly hot. causes me to sweat - the sticky kind - the whole day, even when i stay indoors. even at night when its supposedly cool and windy, theres no escaping the heat. i open the windows and hot wind rushes in. i tried ignoring it and went to sleep without aircon one night, trusting that it would be fine once i go to sleep, but only to wake up in the middle of the night, burning. even with my above-average resistance to temperature, both hot and cold (or so i think), this proves intolerable to me. maybe we should aircon the whole house.

Gabrielle Lee Ker Ting (as she requested her name to be put up) made a rather... cute statement today.
"Its not my fault that i suck at math. its my brain's fault. if i pay attention, i can definitely score better. but i cant be bothered."

can score better by paying attention = brain is alright.
cant be bothered = your fault.
she simply made two stands, and immediately gave contradictory explainations to both of them! lol. its funny how some people try to justify themselves.
