My laptop died

My laptop died on me before I left on my little trip to Australia. Even though I sent it for repair before I left and have been back for a couple of days, the repair status of my laptop is still at 0%. I wonder just how long will it take for my laptop to come back to me.

On my way back from the airport, my brother told us that all the computers (desktops) were dead as well. How shocking. The only survivor among all the computers and laptops at home is my bro's laptop which is also in need of servicing. Thankfully, my bro managed to sacrifice his desktop to save one of the desktops which explains why I am using one now. =D

I am still waiting for my laptop to be revived before I upload pictures from my trip and blog properly. So, do check back once in a while. =)

When I was having my exams, I wanted to update my blog so much but once exams were over I wanted to slack as much as possible. I think I am just trying to distract myself from studying at that time.

Now that exams are over, I kept slacking in front of my laptop and TV. Been watching Queen Seon Duk the very next day of the last paper. It is definitely a drama worth your time to watch. I have never love a drama so much that I even love the evil characters. This is definitely the first.

Queen Seon Duk is a Korean period drama about an abandoned princess who unknowingly entered the palace disguised as a boy, serving under her twin sister (the princess). Her reason to remain in the palace is to find who exactly is she that the powerful Misil wanted to kill her from birth. When she finally discovered her true identity, Misil wants to capture her to dethrone the Emperor and the Emperor's loyal subordinate wants to kill her to protect the royal family. The drama tells the story from before her birth to her being the first Queen of Silla.

There is also another drama which I caught during the exams. You're Beautiful, is a contemporary Korean drama about a pop idol group - A.N. Jell. The group is recruiting a new member but due to a problematic cosmetic surgery, the new member was to leave for corrective surgery before he was to sign the contract. Desperately, the manager decided to approach the new member's twin sister to disguise as her brother to sign the contract and move in with the other A.N.Jell members(all males). This is a comical romance drama. Also worth your time to watch.

Exams over!

Horray! Yesterday marks the end of my exam. =D Now, I am preparing to go to Australia. I have so many things I want to do. Time to start doing them. :D

I HAVE NO LIFE!

I need to scream, I need a break and I can't wait for this semester to be over.

I have been keeping to my resolution with little variations. However, I realised I have totally no life this semester. I spent my recess week doing project and studying for my mid-term, mid-term week to catch up on my readings and films (for my modules), weekend doing my projects plus tutorials and today doing my E-learning! I have no life. My life is only filled with school work and nothing else. I seriously hope December will come quickly. I deserve a break!

People who saw me watching films during this semester kept thinking I am back to my favourite entertainment - watching dramas/movies, but NO I am watching films as a requirement for my modules. Can you imagine watching documentary, recent movies, animes, black-and-white movies and finally doing an analysis of the films? I enjoy watching shows but really hate it when I have to watch it from an academic point of view all the time.

My only sources of entertainment for these 3 weeks are making mooncakes, watching The Legend (太王四神记）, and playing Sunshine Ranch and Roller Coaster Kingdom on Facebook.

I seriously need my life back!

New semester resolutions

1. Read all lecture notes before lecture
2. Read all required readings before lecture (GEK1021, JS2216)
   
3. Do all my tutorials at least a week before due date
   
4. Study every weekend without failure
5. Watch all required films before lecture (JS2216)
   

Going to MIA from my blog

I am going to start going MIA from my blog soon. In fact, I always do but never inform in advance. Haha. School is going to start next week and I am going to be really busy cause this is the first time I am taking 5 modules in 1 semester and most of them are very heavy. Hence, I will start going MIA until I find the time to blog.

Before I go MIA from my blog, I want to share some bags I bought recently. Waiting for the seller to update me on the postage charge.

Bidding

CORS screwed up my timetable AGAIN! Have to work extra hard next semester in order to maintain my CAP. CRAP! At least I got 3 modules already but all 3 are known to be killer modules. Please wish me luck everyone.
