人生って何？

皆さんご無沙汰しております。。。

things have been pretty busy lately... この前から色々な事があって、何か、wtf am i doing with my life と考えさせました。

まず、一人のいとこがジサツで亡くなりました。it's the kind of thing that you'd never expect would happen, much less to someone you know... 雖然我不是跟他很熟,我越想那件事越難過...
so, as a result, 学校でも人生でも今より頑張りたいと決めました。

改變自己 pt I
俺はいったい何やってるの？歯学生として、my foremost responsibilities should be to study... 所以我為了這個考試,超認真的讀.
since, as you know, i don't really like to study... but i like to write things out, so i took it upon myself to make notes for my systems lectures leading up to the midterm, so that i would somehow get the information through my head before i took the exam ^^ i filled a whole book with just the lecture material from the first week.... you can see volume 2 of the notes behind the open pages of volume 1 XD needless to say i wasn't able to finish all the lectures before the exam, since i started making my notes like the week before the test haha
but i must say i feel much better about that test than i think would have had i not made the notes =P

改變自己 pt II
so after studying systems, and learning all about heart diseases, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarctions, and other causes and reasons for heart failure, i have to admit i was feeling a little guilty about treating my body so badly haha... so i ran turtle rock (ok more like ran for 5 mins and then walked the remainder of the way) twice. i'm also doing exercises in my room too, and eating slightly more healthfully... hopefully it will pay off... but i have a feeling i'll probably get over it and start going back to my bad habits soon enough lol

anyway, due to 表弟的事, my cousins came over. it's funny, cuz even though one's a grad student and the other is an undergrad, they're in the same chinese class at school, so they just share their answers when they do their homework haha... they were doing their homework at my house that weekend, and it reminded me of the times when i was in chinese school as a little kid. most of the time i'd just copy whatever my mom wrote out for me, but somehow, for this essay i'm pretty sure i actually wrote it myself... or maybe my dad helped me lol

in case you can't see it clearly:
『媽媽的頭髮
　　　媽媽的頭髮是黑色
　的，也有一點白的。她
　的頭髮不是那麼長。我
　媽媽的頭髮很亂七八糟
　因為我的弟弟愛玩她的
　頭髮。但是我的媽媽還
　是世界上最好的媽媽。』

if i actually was able to do that all on my own back then, i'd have to say i'm pretty impressed haha

on the side, i thought my new 1.5tb hard drive crapped out on me, giving me error 51's...... but replacing the usb cable that came with it seemed to fix the problem ^^ i have so much free space i don't know what to do with myself lol

oh! last weekend i went to this japanese restaurant called akasaka. it seemed a little out of place by itself in this mostly residential area. supposedly it used to be a single house, and then got converted into a restaurant. i got their chirashi bowl, which at $27 was quite pricey... the most expensive chirashi i've seen before this was like 18.. but i must admit, it is huge..... refer to pic :P i took the picture after giving the unagi away, but you can still see it's filled to the brim with sashimi XD
anyway, it was like two meals in one.... actually, it was two meals in one since i only ate half of it and then packed the rest, and ate it after i got home from mahjong <3 the next morning at 5am lol... speaking of mahjong, i got a 清一色 and a 混一色 the last time i played, banking $28 wahahhaha~ obviously they wanted revenge, so i played with them again... this time i only made $5... oh well ㄎㄎ

それじゃ、until next time~

犯太歲

*sigh* this year is supposedly 犯太歲 for oxes.... (myself included), meaning we're not supposed to be very lucky unless we go and appease the jupiter god or something... i'm feeling the bad luck already haha

first off, i failed one of my classes... well... i guess i saw that one coming lol... but i'd like to think it's because of 犯太歲... especially since i found out right after my bracelet with the buddhist beads snapped apart on me in class... :(
i decided to clean my desk the other day too (see~ so clean XD), i was enjoying a nice cold drink at my desk and i accidentally knocked the can onto my keyboard... i wasn't used to my desk being so clean, cuz usually i have to maneuver around all these obstacles to grab things on my desk, but it's too neat now... nothing to avoid, so i let my guard down and knocked my drink over =( that makes this the 3rd keyboard of mine that has been ruined by a beverage.. *sigh* at least that last one i've been using for about 6 years so it was about time anyway ^^;; i must say this new keyboard is nice~ the only things i don't like about it are how there aren't a windows key and a right mouse click key on the right side... all there is is a stupid fn key... and i don't like how they played with the design of the del key and made it so big... i guess i don't use insert that much besides in photoshop, but still i'd like to have it where it usually is... oh! and this keyboard is cool because it is backlit!! <3 probably not as useful as it would be on a laptop, since it's usually pretty bright in my room when i'm using my computer, but still... it's nice to have XD

anyway, i hope my luck will be better from now on, especially after i went to 安太歲 last weekend ^^ so far so good... i've passed all my other tests/midterms besides that one, and hopefully will continue to do so *crosses fingers*

wish all u other oxes good luck, since we, along with sheeps/goats, dragons, and dogs, managed to anger or annoy the tai sui for this year ^^;;;
