I feel like posting just another post tonight.
I have just survived five final examination. I think I have overdone. It is really a stressful time. And now I have a two weeks holiday, which seems a bit short for me. No amount of holiday is ever enough for me anyway. And I have a really painful stiff neck at the moment, where I can't even turn my neck at all, the cause: bad sleeping.
Despite it is now the holiday, I still have a couple of things, a couple of things to decide on.

What a long time...
I just realised that it has been such a long time that I have posted anything here...
A year gone. How time flies by.
My demanding schedule as a student has really put me off... or maybe I have simply lost interest.
We'll see.

Random Rambling of a Day on a 08 Winter Night
It's 7.28 p.m. now and my room is in a chilly state of 16 degree celsius. I can't even bother to flick on the switch of my dull looking heater. It's not too bad considering that it is winter now and it is 5 degree celsius outside.
And now, I am sitting freely at home either on the net or staring at the idiot box. I shouldn't right. I still have so many things to do... like, for example, read the readings I have just photocopied. Instead, my hours are put on the net and television and some other random stuff.
In Uni, you will probably see me running here and there trying to catch up with lectures or busy photocopying reading materials or sitting at one of those chairs in the library staring blankly at the word processor or meeting and chatting with people.
Libraries around the campus are now so jam-packed like a pack of sardines in a can. Well, exams are looming in a week or so what. And I am not feeling stressed or even the desire to study at all... this is so crap! Anyway, my exams this time aren't that stressful either...
Well, I only have two exams coming for the mid year:
Introduction to Management & Organisations
Well, it's multi-choice. And it's 100-level. So, it's supposed to be easy. No sweat.
Company Law & Partnership
It's open book which makes it so less stressful!!! Yes... I wish all law exams are open book. Don't the lecturers actually read the suggestions that I put in during the course evaluation?
And they are a week apart from each other.
Oh, and today is the first time I actually took the bus alone in Christchurch City after being here for like almost 3 years now. And that's from my home to the University. The car engine cannot fire up because the battery is flat (well, according to the mechanic's term).
My mum actually suggested a taxi, she was so horrifed that I am going to take the bus. Thanks to the media for those stories about the bashing up of bus drivers. Anyway, to make the long story short, I took the bus. A first step in my life... hehehe... well, I didn't actually get down at the University though but a couple of stops before where I actually had to walk a couple of "miles". Don't ask me why I did that. I'm already feeling fortunate that I am on the right route. And I missed my MGMT 101 class... thank God for technology, we have video-taped lectures :)
And my music collection looks boring right now... sigh...

True Wealth
I stumble upon this while browsing it on the net. Am posting it here cause it's so true.
So here goes with the one day...
----------
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?
Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
"Life is too short and friends are too few."

So nice right ?

9 April 2007
Don't want to wake up today... feeling extremely moody... don't know why... felt that my life is meaningless... I want to do something to enrich my life.
Anyway, my mood drastically changed in the afternoon, was walking around Harvey Norman, hehehe... printed some photos and bought a watch, a Casio Module No. 2515 for only NZD 15. It was cleared for sale, the original price was about NZD 60.00. Nothing fancy but felt really good, love the watch.
Yeah :)> , I so needed a watch by the way.
