disturbed

poor Buffon

yes this an update of my life.

on the final lap towards the start of finals. like i mentioned in the previous post, i have two weeks of reading week. now that half of one week is gone.. i am 25% through this final lap. how well prepared i am? not really yet of course.. whether is it 25% as well i also cannot really figure out. nonetheless, at least i am making full use of each day. how would i know so? well i go to bed every night with minimal or no regrets.. knowing that i have made full use of the day.

on to another thing that is rather sad for the world of football fans. Italy will not be playing in the next World Cup after being beaten in their latest qualifying match. in other words, we will not be seeing the legendary keeper Buffon in action for the last time in World Cup. yeah he is about the age of retirement from the sport.. and true enough, he announced his retirement from international football after that match. poor dude.. i was so hoping to see him play in the World Cup after having great performances in Euro and his club matches. such is life. until next time then, cheers.

twice the reading

yes this is an update of my life.

this morning marked the official end of lessons for the current semester. my almost-two-weeks-worth of reading week begins. let me talk about this morning's last "lesson" first. well, i termed it as "lesson" because technically just had to appear with my project group to present on our report for like an odd 20 minutes or so.. not exactly learning new things. so yeah.. we cleared that CA.. with no help from a useless teammate who practically went missing since the middle of the semester. no replies to our messages.. no show at our meetings.. no contributions to report and slide.

in the end her name did not appear in any of our submission.. our lecturer is well aware of the situation as well. this morning's presentation she wasn't there too.. surprise surprise lol. apparently she emailed the lecturer to say that she was sick.. yeah sure you are "sick". ohh wells.. i am prepared to meet such weird people next time in the working world already lol.

so yeah reading week is here.. have 3 papers but all are very content heavy. these two weeks are so precious.. have to create a miracle for one of the module as well. first day off to a shaky start but let's hope i get progressively more productive each day. until next time then, cheers.

made me do

hell week

yes this is an update of my life.

well if you realised that in the past 5 days or so i have not really posted any proper updates on this platform. yes, you guessed it.. i have been facing a hell of a week in the last 5 days. two projects due at the end of this week is really no joke.

started the week with mental preparation of not going to have decent sleep for the rest of the week and i was not wrong. Tuesday and Wednesday saw myself sleeping at the most unearthly hour in the entire semester.. 4am. yes you read that right haha.. okay technically that would count as early morning of Wednesday and Thursday. could not afford to take naps during the day as well. there was seriously too much stuff to do.

well at least one good thing that came out of this week was the welfare pack. great thanks to everyone who were involved in preparing and packing and distributing of those awesome packs. so sad.. my second last welfare pack already haha.. now i left one more presentation on Monday before my reading week begins. yeah i have almost 2 weeks worth of reading week. need to really recharge before bulldozing through my revision and finals preparation. until next time then, cheers.

jungle book

kung fu

full of stars

fight song, amazing grace

piano creations

yes this is an update of my life.

past two days have been so busy that i barely touch my studies. felt really weird to go back to revision again minutes ago. well, of course it did not went well.. or else i wouldn't be here typing this update on my blog.. haha. nonetheless, i foresee a hell week next week. two projects are due.. none of those is even more than halfway done.

group project can be a good and bad thing.. i can't really put my finger on which one though. nonetheless, doing countless group projects in college so far definitely helped me to learn many life lessons and life skills.. lol. i am pretty sure these will come in more handy than the content and knowledge used in accomplishing the project itself.

camping in school on a Friday night for tomorrow morning is the welfare pack packing. yeah.. it is that time of the semester again. welfare packs. chilling and enjoying my evening with fine tunes by The Piano Guys. i recently got my hands on two of their later few albums and am currently looping some of the good pieces they have in them. will be sharing them here soon. until next time then, cheers.

immigrant song

No..v

yes this is an update of my life.

wait, what? it is the second last month of the year 2017? well, that sucks.. how time flies. it seemed only yesterday when i was enjoying my December holidays in Taiwan. it seemed only yesterday when i counted down to 2017. it seemed only yesterday that i was still a year 3. it seemed only yesterday that i told myself that probably in a year's time i need to start opening my eyes to look for job opportunities.

well, well, well, here i am, in November 2016. still at a shock at how fast time is moving. yes i have to start to look out for job opportunities really soon. if i want to head for graduation trip, i ought to start planning soon as well. anyway, moving on to something slightly more fun.

so i caught the new movie instalment of "Thor" and the picture above sort of sum up my feel towards the movie. action is good. character build up is good. but well, such superhero movie plots aren't going to deviate much from how it will end and what not.. hence the slightly less impressed face. there were numerous funny scenes as well and of course, not forgetting Stan Lee's cameo.

i think original superhero movies soon will not impressive me. i am more into big scaled superhero movies involving very big plots and many heroes.. sort of those in "Avengers" and "Justice League" kind of thing. i realised that in such original superhero movies.. i mainly look forward to two things.. Stan Lee's cameo and post credit scenes.

well, i am not going to say it is a disappointment or what but personally i have quite high expectations for movies. personally, i rate it as average but i am sure many more would say it is good. until next time then, cheers.
