Oh. Revived.

Thanks for everyone’s support in the past couple of days. I really felt I had to rant out my feelings because oppression drives people nuts and letting it out helps a lot :)

Well, after all that, I finally finished my exams this morning. It was law and… Surprisingly, I found it much easier than the past paper questions. First and second essay was alright but the third was just crazy hard: “Discuss the development of these changing perceptions…” It was a little hard to elaborate on the development of changing perceptions because… What happened? Social changes feed into legal changes, so courts decide on cases in different ways. In the end, I ran out of time to finish the final sentence of my final conclusion. So we leave it at that.

My friend has her last exam in five days so she was pretty relaxed about it and we went shopping in the city, shopping at the local mall, and eventually watched Shrek 3. It was funny and yeah… Finally getting to talk to someone out of my family for the first time in two weeks felt really great.

Back from Vacation

I got off the plane about 3 hours ago and OUCH. 7 days make a LOT of difference. That difference is obvious when I check out friends’ rankings on MapleStory. But I’m glad they killed hackers though because my ranking actually increased over 7 days of inactivity XD

It was fun. We were going to Singapore before but the plane tickets were too expensive so we decided to save the money and go on a tour down to South Island (New Zealand). We saw Lord of the Rings scenes everywere and it was simply great. And because we saved lots from not going to Singapore, we were in the best hotels of every city we went to (except one, because the best in that town was *cough* TOO good) and ate all the nice dinners and things. I still remember the best dinner we had. It was a 4-course lobster meal–totally divine. I seriously need to go on a 7-day diet from now on…

This morning we went to a deer farm, where they shot the scene in The Fellowship of the Rings at the beginning where Frodo and them hid beneath big rocks from the Black Riders. Honestly, it was COOL. Deers, llamas, goats, long-haired cows with horns and ponies roamed the place. I saw one chicken as well. You drive on the road and get blocked by a llama in front of you with its ass facing you and another deer right beside your window staring at you with huge eyes. It was great fun; and that was just one morning.

Oh yeah. I watched the TV show–Beauty and the Geeks. The current season has this geeky guy in love with Rubiks cubes so I bought one and I’m stuck because the sequence instruction booklet obviously has errors. I need to figure it out soon or I’ll go mad. I improved a lot on myself though and can easily get about 80% of it done but I need the remaining 20%.

I’ll look forward to the next coming family vacation :)

Merry Christmas Ho Ho Ho!

It’s Christmas already in New Zealand… So Merry Christmas guys!

I just finished playing mahjong with dad, sis and her boyfriend and I came first mwahaha.

I hate Christmas sales though… I just finished working four days in a row and will work 10 hours on Boxing Day. Sure. I’m looking forward to that!

I really feel bad about leaving Appassionato out because there had been so many people supporting me and stuff but I really had to! :’( These days I was working on two design requests and I’m glad because now they’re both finished at the same time before 2007. Now I get some rest!

Update: Thanks for the Christmas gift from Mei Zhu!
