let's see... my easter weekend... was spent working... thurs, easter sat and monday... the rest went on a drive and picnic on mon but i decided to work that day cos got extra pay, and guess what, i worked 10 hours that day and i was absolutely exhausted that day, physically and mentally... and i slacked around on fri and sun... cos it was raining and it's the holidays, so i decided to give myself a few days off...
i have been thinking about my honours project these few days... whether i have made the right decision on doing it... well... the pros is that it really depends on my own motivation, i only have to depend on myself to get the work done as opposed to having to work with people in a group for groupwork... which i know most of the electives this year require... the cons are that sometimes it can get really frustrating and lonely... cos no one really knows what you are doing and most of the time, it's just hours and hours of mundane reading, in front of the computer... till my eyes start to water... and sometimes i am just staring into the screen without really processing what the article is saying...

watched a few movies this and last week... working on my lit review during the day and watching movies at night...
the kingdom was not bad, i would say 6/10, quite boring initially and the action only started late in the movie...
perfume... never heard of it... but prisy said her friends who watched it said it was quite good, so we decided to try watching... the lead character is quite scary... but other than the weird aspect of the movie, it rated a 6/10 on andrea's movie scale...
zodiac... ohmigod... pls dun waste your time... i cannot believe i wasted 2 precious hours of sleep on this dumb and boring show... and the fact that it has jake gyllenhal and mark ruffalo made it even worse... such good actors acting in this stupid movie...
tristan and isolde... apparently it's like romeo and juliet but i thought r&j was more sad... but the show is not bad... 6.5/10
juno... was quite reluctant to watch it when prisy asked me to watch... but it turned out to be quite good actually... the lead actress really sounded and acted like sarah sidle on csi... and jennifer garner was in the movie... i would give it a 7/10...
nothing much happened except i am still working on the lit review... and my presentation... tomorrow is the start of the easter holidays... for a week... no plans... and it was so busy at woolies today... for some reason, i was down for a shift today and it was so busy that we only closed at 10 past... we did not even have time to clean so we had to stay back to clean and stuff... and sat will be the same situation cos we are also closing early...
went out for lunch with yochi and the rest in the city... the plan initially was to go somewhere nice in the city like pancakes... but then they decided that they did not want to eat there so we ended up eating in this irish pub which has set lunch at $6... the food was okay... and after that, we went for dessert at macdonald's... just sat and talked... do some catching up... we made plans for the next outing to be at pancakes and the dress code has to be formal... hopefully more people can come...

UNproDucTiVe...
second week of uni... was quite unproductive cos my granduncle and aunite came to visit for a week... and cos my grandauntie loves to watch korean shows so i introduced her to my name is kim sam soon... and soon after, all of us became addicted again to the show... and we went out for dinner almost every night... which was good...
work was okay, nothing much changed... the store in dural had a makeover and it looked much neater and clean... wonder when our store will also get a makeover... well easter is next week, no plans at the moment yet but i will have a week long break... but I have to prepare for my presentation after easter, so what a bummer!

CRappY...
the first day of 4th year semester one was one of the worst days ever... left home at 715am and only got to uni at 830am... a journey that usually only takes me 45 mins took an hour and a half that day... so i was walking to class when i saw through the window that the class was full... there were no empty seats at all... and i did not want to disrupt the class when i was so late... so i told myself ok i will go to the main campus to collect my student card...
so I walked to the station to save my 80cents... caught a train to the main campus and when I got there... the guy said my student card is at lidcombe... I was like you are joking, I did not receive any email saying to collect my card at uni... so I had no choice but to catch a train back to lidcombe and walk back to uni... I was so freaking hot and sweaty by the time I arrived at uni... and then have to queue at student central to collect my card... I was so pissed by the time I could finally sit down and rest... definitely my worst day ever... i hate my uni...
and on thurs... my timetable showed the wrong classroom and I was like looking all over the place and calling people for the right classroom... when I finally got there, the table was full and I was like 15 min late... and we had to do a presentation on our projects... and when I finally got the paper... there was only one slot left and I was the first one to present... how shitty can my first week of uni be...

ENd oF hoLidAyS...
the last week of my stay in singapore... met up with the family, went bowling with the cousins, met up with friends... went karaoke and ate some of my fav stuff... too bad I still did not get to eat my ben and jerry's... played mahjong... haha...
on the flight back to sydney... the person sitting in front of me was so freaking inconsiderate and rude... he pushed his chair all the way back and I was still eating... and how was I supposed to watch the screen if the screen is right in front of my eyes?!!? so I asked him politely to bring his chair forward abit, he mumbled something but brought his chair forward alittle... everything was ok for awhile and then he did it again... and I asked him again to bring his chair forward... and you know what he said?? he refused to and was mumbling something as if it was my problem... stupid man... what an ass... ruined my whole flight...
and when we arrived in sydney... and stepped out of the airport... it was so cold that it was not funny... when we finally got home, after unpacking, all of us went to bed...
