Last night, I spent the night in my friend's hostel room. At 3AM, the situation was absolutely ugly at sight: TC slept soundly on the floor; I forced myself into a foetal position at one end of the bed so that I wouldn't be much of a bother to the host if he wants to sleep; our host, Tze Kai actually tried to spend the night lying on his desk, but failed miserably and couldn't get a proper rest in the end. Woke up slightly, only slightly less exhausted than 4 hours ago and then rushed to my morning 8AM Chemistry class. What a day!
Well, those ex-classmates from IMU actually drove down to INTI after class yesterday to have a mini-but-incomplete gathering. I strongly believe that such gathering would be more difficult to organize in the future as everyone is continuing their studies after our 8-months-long SAM (South Australian Matriculation) course. So I took the trouble to stay back after 8 hours of classes just to meet up with them. We should appreciate good friends when we get to know any. Well, this SAM clan are all of good personalities and attitudes, which I am proud to know each and everyone of them. But SAM 08' had over and we must walk forward.
Will everyone remember the canvas painted with all our colours?
Another news is that I have a field trip to attend this Friday, which me and my classmates would be going to Putrajaya for an exhibition on the field of Biotechnology. We even postponed all classes (1) on that day just to go on this field trip, so let's hope that it will be one fun and enriching trip for all of us. Too bad those of the DSCAU a.k.a. Australian Degree Transfer Program cannot participate. I also suppose to have an job interview later that evening. I do hope that everything goes according to plan so that I do not need to jeopradize this job interview.
My drawings may not be that nice, but I will make sure that I will improve over time. Yea, once I get my hands on a Tablet, you all will be in for a suprise. But now, it's back to my usual pencil and paper.

Afternoon Break
As promised, a fanart of Gundam 00. My favourite character, Lockon Stratos, the sniper who can shoot across the atmosphere and sadly killed in action. It's fiction after all. The background for this drawing is pirated somewhere from the internet. I've realized that with colouring, I can save the time cleaning the lineart. Wait a minute, didn't I spend more time colouring and editing the image digitally?My right arm is now sore and painful because of yesterday's badminton session and also today's use of the computer mouse to complete the artwork above. Not to mention is I rested on my arm as I fell asleep yesterday. I guess by elimination, the last reason best explains why my right arm really hurt right now.

Don't Matter
Naruto! I thought that if I do fan-arts, then I'll receive more comments this way. I guess I am gonna do one for Gundam 00 next. After all, these popular characters are more attractive than those of my own. Haha, funny for me to say something like that. Commisions, anyone?
Each time I was trying to do my assignments, I will eventually deviate my attention to something related to comics... then I will ended up sketching. This is the reason why I cannot have anything done after spending so much time at my workspace. The piling assignments and lab reports are really repulsive, wonder you will understand this feeling of mine...
To the topic of money, I realized that I've ran dry on cold hard cash. The replacement for my lost labcoat really took its toll on my wallet. But no fear! I guess I am gonna get a long duration part-time job really soon, all thanks to Grace for introducing it to me. At least I'll be better off a little with that extra income. Pray that I'll secure that job by next week.

Decent Days and Night
I am writing this post to let out my frustration that built up in me since last year. I am having a mathematics test tomorrow, which I am suppose to be studying right now. Yet, I am distracted by the Thousand-Years demonwitch at home- my grandma.
My grandma have been staying with me to form an extended family since... I was in Form 2, I think. Well, old people tends to be naggy, I can totally understand that statement. I experienced in for almost 5 whole years already. Believe me, she was more than naggy. She was cranky and pesky. At first I can still tolerate her attitude, but things changed just before I started SAM last year.
She suddenly got mentally retarded. Yes, her intellectual degraded sharply. The "Hakka" she speaks can only be understand by a few, including me. And because I understand her words, I become more agitated and frustrated with her actions that can make me literally "run up the wall". If I were to ever let loose my anger at the spur of the moment, I swear that I would have strangle her. But in one way I was glad that I didn't.
Today, she was shouting. Her tone makes you want to give her a slap. She often use that wailing-like tone, it makes you want to leave home. And for the same reason I always spend my time at the park near my house. She often pesker you whenever she sees you. This situation made me to hide upstairs or just not go home so early, just to reduce any contact with her. I sympathize her for her childhood past and the hardship she have endured during her adulthood. But making my family, friends and relatives suffer physically and mentally, I've no longer consider her to be part of the family. If she can still think and reason out her actions, then I'm sure she would regret them... how she put us into such miserable lives...
I maybe able to forgive her wrongdoings now, but I am sure to remember them too for the rest of my life. The only hope I have for her is that for once she would regain her conscience and no longer torture and hurting everyone...

Long Way
Have anyone of you received PTPTN loan? I tried to apply online, sadly that damn website just won't function for me. It worked for the others, but not for me. Why me... why... Something this technical I am gonna blame... the website engineers! They created a malfunctioning website that made me wasted tonnes of time in countless futile attempts to login.
It's a long way to go before the next semester, and here I am countdown to the long awaited semester break, even though I had a whole week of holiday for CNY. As mentioned in an earlier posting, CNY break was hardwork for me... visiting one place after another...
Almost everyone made a Valentine's Day posting, so I'm gonna follow suit. Well, early this morning, one of my crap-talk classmate mentioned that he've realized many of our classmates have already paired up. At first I don't really bother what he had said. But later when I was eating alone in the college's cafeteria, I saw a classmate with her boyfriend. At that moment, I also recalled what ex-classmate Sheau Tian said about current coupling among common friends. Sheesh... I don't wanna get involved in a relationship just to be in "the trend", however casual dating, as psychologists named them, ought to be more... meaningful, right?
Lee Ping would be a good example.

Dear
I left out a 9 marks question in yesterday's test. Realized that after reading yeeling's post. In fact, the question that she DREAMT in her dreamland, which indeed came out in the test, is the same question that I forgot of its existence. Now I'm gonna hide at one corner and lick my wounds.
