The Mid-Sem Break

It was the mid-semester break last week. Boy... What a week. It started out with a bang and lots of happening stuff, than it just mellowed down to pure assignments and boredom.

Good Friday a.k.a. Mambo Night
How can i pass such an event? Mambo music, clubbing. Girls. Drinking. Girls. I totally enjoyed myself that night and met Lin Jun Jie and Hong Junyang. Bloody faggots are holidaying there in Melbourne and they tell me it is good cause nobody recognise them. I'm like... Yah, its an ang moh country, you expect all of them to listen to your music?!?!

Saturday
Rest and relax from last night's clubbing. Didn't do anything productive at all. Spent the day playing games, listening to music, watching movies, etc. Watched soccer with my friends here. Picked up $50 on the floor. Bet on Man Utd to win and won $10.

Easter Sunday
Woke up late... Did some research and reading. Not really into the mood yet. Had a nice housewarming party which i attended. Eat, drink and played games. Some of them were playing some weird shaking and spining game on the Wii. Looks damn dumb.

Monday
Monday i started more seriously on my assignments. Put more effort into it and completed 15% of the required specs. At night had a dinner party with a friend. Her parents came over and we had Korean cuisine. Played L4D that night till 5am. Tiredness creeping in...

Tuesday
An outing with my housemate to Ikea. Went to buy a couple of pots. Had lunch there as well. Meatballs not as good as SG. After that we had a very nice dinner, Urban Burger joint. Burgers are almost as good as Carl's Jr. The only one which is nearest to the size and taste here in Melbourne. Hungry Jacks(Burger King) and Macdonalds just suck.

Wednesday
Soccer day. We played soccer that day. Helped a friend to fix her mobile broadband connection. I couldn't fix it as it was beyond what i could do... Just that the USB modem didn't give her an IP address. Too bad, so sad. Move along... Went serious mode into my assignments. The beginning of the suffering...

Thursday
Full steam ahead on the assignment. Went to the library to borrow some books. In the end, they didn't help much. I was stuck the entire day and night on the same two questions.

Friday
Almost the same as above except that this time, it was a full day and i didn't went to the library. Still stuck on the same two questions.

Saturday
Continued with my assignments hoping i could find an answer. Still no progress. So went to buy groceries and came back for a BBQ with my friends. They came, i BBQed, we eat, some left, some stayed to play L4D. Saturday officially ended.

Sunday
Same as before, tried everything i could on the assignment. From morning to night. At the final last, i gave up and went to watch a soccer game. Found out that my team fielded a group of unexperienced youngsters, i knew the game was a lost cause. Though i stayed on all the way, it didn't help lighten my mood in any sense. Went home, tried one last time on the assignment. Couldn't get the results. It is official. I gave up on my Dist and HDist. No point wasting time on that. I should have my rest.

So that is how the past nine days zoomed past me. Hopefully i do get good news.
