Excitement to Plain Routine

Week 5 has just ended and week 6 is nearing. 2 tests await me and i'm only starting to study for one of them. The other one is on Friday and i guess i have enough time for it. This week has been pretty much plain, finishing up my lab reports, handing in my assignments, preparing tutorials and etc. The highlight must be the soccer match on Friday. We(not just europe) played the top team of the rankings table(the redeem team). The top team comprises of several players from the school team. We drew them 4-4 and i was goalie for most of the game. This is the first time i played Goalie so well. I flew and pounced, scratched my knees and elbows, stopped several balls and let it a few too. But, i think i have done pretty well. I felt good playing Goalie for the first time. Then at night, we went to Janie's place for a potluck dinner when Fabien's bread went smoking up the entire flat. We had to evacuate from the house to prevent suffocation. But his bread turned out yummy and the entire dinner was brilliant.

After that we had some musical session, Bill and i played the guitar and the Uke respectively and we had fun. Of course, we had the werewolves games where i was appointed mayor again and i instantly killed the first two werewolves. I am beginning to think that i am borned for this game. I was so tired, i conked out after the third game and headed to Janie's room for a nap. I had a nightmare and it was pretty disturbing. I didn't sleep well and i wished i didn't sleep in the first place. I felt really grumpy and made some awful comments and i feel bad.

We went up Mount Victoria and i feel good about it. Took several stunning shots of the moon, stars and the night scenery from the summit. Thank goodness i followed the rest up the mountain.

The rest of the day was pretty crappy. I couldn't get any quality sleep because there were some noises in the house. So i gave up and showered and started studying. I'm really tired now and i think i will sleep soon. Good night my readers.

This week has been rather... unfruitful.. and disgusting... I hate labs, hate assignments and hate lectures. I do not know why i am even attending lectures(since i am on exchange). But well, as a student i have to at least fulfill my responsibility. UROPS was bad because i did not manage to comprehend anything. I had to borrow a book from the library and read it to understand a bit of it. No parties this week, too much to worry about and also to do. But i guess it's good in a way. I cannot possibly have fun everytime and not do anything productive. I'm just about finishing my lab report and still have work to do.

I am so tired and am going to bed soon. Good night!

Finally got my ass up to laby and started doing what i've always wanted to do: Take a night shot of the city from campus. Tonight, i finally did it and i will print these two photos and send it to a few friends. I hope they like it. Here are the photos:






Am gonna camp at home to finish up my work and hopefully continue with Valerio's tutorials. Gosh, this is really hard. No play this weekend, only work!

Virgin experience on the ski field

It has been a wonderful weekend. Done things i have never done in my entire life and seen things i have only seen on television. Even though the weather was treacherous, i must say i thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. At least back home in Singapore, i would have never had the chance to see snow, falling ice flakes and ice mountain. I chose snowboarding because i thought it was cool, and i was right, it is indeed cooler. Although i fell numerous times, i felt good. Every tumble and fall makes me a even stronger boarder. I think that's where the "Never say die" attitude comes in. Whenever i fall, i roll and i'm back on my feet! I do not feel tired at all, even though my wrist and knees are already very pain. I simply enjoyed every second of it.

The only sad thing is that the weather was bad and i did not manage to take a lot of photos. Well, here are some of it:
