what have I been busy with
Well, this is the longest time I have ever left my blog stagnant-- more than 1.5 months.
What have I been busy with?
Mainly, it 's because my part-time degree course has started. I really need some time to adjust. Initially i thought it would be a 5 month course , like the usual semester I had in Poly. but it turn out that all the lessons were cramped in 12 weeks.
3 modules in 12 weeks = Monday, Wed, Fri evenings "burned up" + other days of the week study, revision and doing research for assignments.
My course mates and I commented that this is just like a full time course cramped into a part-time basis. I even realised that all these can be summarised as follows:
1 semester
2 class tests
3 exam papers
4 projects
(I can only be glad that the list did not go up to "10").
Had been sleeping late that it kind of affect my work in a way. Not that I fell asleep at work, just that i am not as sharp as I used to be. And my boss even used the word "horrified" on me. That make me upset for a few days. Just because I seldom made errors for the past year doesn't mean that I will never make errors right? At times i wondered was it because he was not happy with the number of MC I have taken last month.
Yeah, within a month, I was sent to the hospital twice for acute pain. Pain was so bad that I was given jabs of painkillers instead. 3 in total -- one of left arm, one on right arm and another (oh it was a muscle relaxant for my intestines) one on the buttock. Was made to drink this too:
Well it looks like detergent right? Even my colleagues who helped me to buy the medication said so. And while drinking the medicine, I even joked that I was going commit suicide by drinking "detergent".
And recently, I had to spent a precious Sunday to bring my bro to Ikea to choose his study cable and cabinet ( yeah I paid for them). Instead of a study table that comes with its desk, bro chose a plain study table and a separate pedestal. The pedestal, at $99, cos more than the study table! guess my bro like it becos of the blind cover. I was hesitant abt buying it cos it seems too complicate to assemble. Yet my bro was confident he can do it.
Whatever ! cos when we reach home, he din even have the strength to drill the screws of the table legs. Blame it for the lack of electronic drill. Have to beg Dad for help.
And Dad only helped to screw the legs of the desk for ask, leaving us to assemble the pedestal. After a few hours, we manged to put everything up.
Well, i also need to pamper myself too. i bought myself a new mp3 player . Mainly becos I need to record lectures in mp3 format. My old mp3 player 's Start/Stop button cannot be used and even though I can still revive it by using the power cable, I was unable to record any files without activating the function by the Start/Stop button. As for the band of Mp3 player I brought, well it's still Creative
But it's Creative Zen X-Fi!
it is not only a mp3 player. You can also watch videos, view pictures on it. Since there is a option on expanded memory by SD-card, I settled for the basic 8Gb model. I dun see the point paying $100+ more for a 16 Gb model with wi-fi function for wireless music streaming & messenger function.
That's all for now, gotta work on my invites for the Aug gathering and my assignment!
