Okay, an update of my life. Things were a little bit crazy and really positive ever since I went to talk to Mr Ng, my dip-plus lecturer. Along with the whole "getting a grip" thing, there were also lots of assignments and some fun moments of celebrations.

The day I quit tuition (last Saturday)
It was some kind of farewell to my tutee whom I had been badmouthing and complaining about for a long time. Honestly, he's an okay kid as like any other kid. Teaching kids is just not my thing. The money I get for tuition is great, but I didn't want to waste their money anymore because I felt like every week was a waste of time for all of us. Plus, I really need Saturday mornings off for rest.

On Saturday, my dip-plus group also met up to discuss our next facilitation. Turned out to be quite funny when we tried to do our own activity.

The day we thanked our mothers (last Sunday)
Celebrated Mother's Day with the mothers and the grandmother in a Tze Char stall. Super nice and relatively cozy. Cereal sotongs are the best. Can tell my grandma really enjoyed the big family gathering. Unfortunately, my uncle was also suffering from heart attack and was hospitalised, so his immediate family could not come. Something to worry about, too.

Random days of a healthy lifestyle (family)
So apparently, my sister suddenly became quite enthusiastic about exercising, so we started exercising together. Jogging at Bishan Park with siblings, gymming in the early morning in the unproductive Bishan gym, and listening to my brother train my sister to build abs. It's actually quite funny.

The days when we submit our assignments (school)
Basically, school was the big flow of assignments. Finished our Media Entrepreneurship presentation/report and extremely tedious Filmmaking research essay. For the Filmmaking, I analysed The Hunger Games. Chee Teng's folder for submission is pretty cool/cute. It said "I hereby declare that by submitting my document, I agree that Mr Chee Teng is the coolest lecturer". Well, we had to submit our assignments, so the coolest lecturer he is.

For the Media Entrepreneurship, I interviewed Wei Jian's girlfriend, Jessica, and researched on her blogshop, RackSpaceProject. (rackspaceproject.blogspot.sg) I kind of screwed up in the Q&A segment for the presentation. You must be thinking that Q&A is something that you can't screw up; Apparently, you can screw it up if you answer "I don't know" more than once.

And then there's the iBook project and FYP, both which I'm really enthusiastic about. I mean, come on, we are publishing our own eBook! :D And creating a TV show.

The day when "you like it?" becomes sexual (Thursday)
Spent the morning lazing around even though I hate wasting time. Afternoon was FYP tutorial, in which we had to give feedback for one another's ideas. This stage never fails to drain all my energy and positive emotions away. Rejections and rejections.

Then, met up with the bros + sis to have Chisozanmai! Unfortunately, Wai Min, Joshua, and Ru Wen could not make it, so it was Jt, Guang Yi, Zi Xing, Wei Jian, and me. Chisozanmai was great. Orgasmic food, nice environment, nice window seat, good variety of food. Best buffet I've had so far. Threw away all my gastric-caused restrictions and just went crazy on the food. I'm not regretting it, and it was awesommme. By the way, it was meant to celebrate Jt's birthday. Got her a 'The Hobbit' book - glad she liked it :)

And also finally bought 'Dishonored'. Why was everything just so right? Maybe I went a little crazy. Due to Zi Xing's story about his classmate poking people's armpits gayly and asking "you like it?", we went a little weird with the whole poking at random holes and asking "you like it?" thing.

And we created a Wong Zi Xing fan club.

The day when I became Asier Sai Han Don (Friday)
Due to drinking mocha + teh tarik at night, plus my sensitivity towards caffeine, I couldn't sleep at night actually, and only finally collapsed at 6am. Woke up early to gym with my sister. Spent the rest of the afternoon doing CNG. Rushed out all the colouring so that I don't have to worry about my part anymore. Now I can gloat over that fact that it's my groupmates' turns to be busy, before I step in and help up wherever.

Met up with Jeanette and Jt in the evening. Caught up, learned that someone can procrastinate in the middle of exam, and I got a new name. I was wearing my "Easier said than done" shirt and a cardigan over it, so certain letters were blocked, which formed the words "Asier sai han don". And that became my name. I kind of like Asier as an English name, honestly.

And because I love sharing stories and Jt and Jeanette listen to my stories, I just had to get their input in my FYP concepts. Which helped so much. Went a little overboard with snacking - pizzas, cream puffs, and cakes. I feel like a prisoner who just released himself. Now I can eat all sorts of food, and I'm feeling really high about it.

After 2 hours, Syahindah and Li Yuan (Indah and Jean's JC friend) finally reached. After going back and forth, and long waits, we finally got into Swensens for our desperately-needed dinner. Also spammed ice cream. Celebrated Jt's birthday again, and chatted. It was generally a great day.

So, that's it for the week. Throughout this week, I had also been reading Percy Jackson (Lightning Thief). It was a fun read, though it was meant for children. Can't wait for Sea of Monsters to come out in the theatres. And I actually like both the book and the movie in different ways.

Yeah, I don't know how to end this post, so let's put an abrupt end to -
