the week.

this week's rather busy, but i'm glad the (school) week is over. haven't been doing a lot of school work, but yeah at least i'm getting by rather smoothly.

had a IA presentation on monday morning. that was crazy. we didn't have any sense of urgency until sunday night, when we met at 7pm then chionged in school all the way till 11pm, and we weren't even 100% done. had to go home and come up with more stuff after that. didn't help that we are supposed to be the first group to present and it was a 9am class. so we decided to meet 8am in school. =X this was despite having two meetings before this meeting in school on sunday evening (which was 元宵 btw).

the first meeting was at a starbucks in town and we went there just to learn that everyone in the group didn't understand the entire article at all. the second meeting was at joce's place. we discussed and after two of our group members left, the other four of us decided to take a rest and started k-ing using joce's karaoke system. in the end, we sang till 3am. it was crazy, but i have to say i really enjoyed myself! of cos i warned them about my tone-deafness, but it was all good fun. kind of a stress reliever lar.

the rest of the lessons weren't too bad. as usual, i didn't read most of the readings we were supposed to. but luckily still managed to get by.

and my parents got a new desktop after my bro's 5 year-old desktop died on them. it's quite cool actually. it's just a monitor that has almost everything inbuilt (i think that's the new style of desktops?) and wireless mouse and keyboard. looks cool, and the speakers are great also. think my dad loves it now. and i benefitted from their purchase too! they could top up a little to get a canon printer, and i told them i'll buy the printer from them! (haven't paid them actually, wait for them to get from me. haha.) so now, i finally have a printer in my room. last time only my bro's room has a printer, and he's really anal about the usage, so now at least i dun need to go to his room everytime i need to print.

it's funny how even my parents are so obsessed with technology and can't seem to live without a computer already.

and i'm happy today cos i drove home today from school without much hiccups! had some judgment issues, but yeah it was generally ok i think. this is despite not driving for more than a year already. my bro has been forcing me to drive ever since the sem started, and today i finally got to do it. wasn't as bad as i expected. i should really drive more often to get the hang of it. and when i finally can drive the car without anyone beside me, i think that's great. i would one day want to buy my own car and drive it around anw.

oh and i applied for several internship positions. it's seriously a pain man. but anw shell rejected my internship application even before i reached interview stage. hmmm maybe i wasn't serious enough when i filled in the form, but ah well. i applied for 5-6, and only one got back to me so far, and it's gia. going for the interview on friday morning. i kinda dun expect anything much out of it, but at least it's a good interview practice session. hope it doesn't scare me too much!

seriously hope i can find a good internship, but i think i'm not proactive enough. maybe i'm still hoping that chances will come by themselves. how naive can i get. i'm also rather indecisive about the nature of job i want to go into. i still applied for positions in banks even though i've told myself and others i won't want to work in a bank. ah well. now, i should just explore my options and see what all these effort will bring me to.
