Somehow blogging has lost its allure. This explains the lack of updates. And no. It is not because my life hasn't been interesting. It has to a certain extent amazed me and freaked me out. * School life is crazy. I've a 5-day 'work' week. I start at 9am almost everyday and i end at 8pm 3 days a week and 6pm on the other days. And no. I don't have those long breaks in between. Its 2 hrs maxed out. Those days that i end at 6pm, i give tution or am attending meetings for those many events i am helping to organise. Yes, so if you think your uni life is horrid. You'll probably feel better after glancing at my brief schedule. Consolation that i'm pushed to spent most of my weekdays studying because i'm stressed up over my tight schedule. There goes my TV time as well as reading time. I'm not even spared from school on Saturdays. But i guess, that thing that i go for is kind of fun. Therefore, it isn't counted i guess. * Personal life has its ups and downs. But i'm fine where i am now. =) The first weekend has been somewhat great. 2 shopping trips though none of what i bought or helped to buy was for yours truly. * Financial life is horrid. I'm broke and awaiting the CNY cash flow or mini bump-up. Although i do give tution 3 times a week, its yet to be payday. I do have to be patient. But boy, do i hope it comes soon. Speaking of CNY, i'll be having my reunion dinner on a cruise this year. I believe i am skipping class on friday. shhhhhh. * As for other updates.. - I've got curly hair now. =) Apart from the salon bad experience, i'm happy to say at least my hair is safe. Yes, it had nothing to do with hair even though its a hair salon. - I'm going to Washington during my recess week. =) - Chinese new year is coming in a week. I'm definitely happy for that well deserved break. * Now i have to hurry up and read my backlog of research literature papers. Darn.
