Out of the cave...

So... I'm out of my cave... finally, seeing light again. Still a little 'traumatized' by sun light after all this while of hiding in my dark studying...

Now the exam's over, and I refuse to start studying for the next exam until June 1st, knowing myself, I'll procrastinate for two more weeks, so technically, I'll start preparing for it come mid June...

So, what do I do with all my extra time? (Extra time due to my waking up early to study, and can't sleep much, and body clock gotten use to it, and now, i'm waking up at 5am, before my alarm clock goes off.)

Well, there's more TV, there's more leisure reading, and there's this...

Finally, I decided to scramble my 4X4 Rubik's cube...aka Revenge Rubik's Cube yesterday morning...
20 minutes later, I regretted it already...I got one face and the corners down... need to slowly figure out the 'Dedges' and 'Center'...

And not sure if I mentioned this... but my laptop is going crazy, part of me thinks that it's Macrohard's conspiracy of screwing the OS so that people will be forced to use their newer OS... but well, it's been 4 years since I got this laptop, and it's been running 99% of that 4 years, I guess it's time for a new system... And I jumped on a monitor deal, and thinking I'll buy a desktop as my primary computer...

So, the 24" monitor, sitting beside my current laptop... makes my 15.4" laptop looks like a netbook...


So, that's about it... things are getting better... now, i just need to figure out how to sleep longer...

Off to watch Star Trek on IMAX later... heard about all the rave reviews... those battle scenes should be great on IMAX...

One year ago...

Not sure if it's just me or everything has this thing about counting... days, months, or years... Funny thing is I'm pretty bad when it comes to remembering friends' birthday, but I'm a fan when it comes to tracking dates.

I still remember how I started counting every 23rd when I first started college more than 4 years ago, because that's when I first arrived in the US. It was on the 23rd Aug of 2004. So, for a few years every month, I would pay particular attention to date 23rd. I don't know why but just being able to count and reminisce the days and to think how fast time flies is my thing.

Anyway, life's been busy. And yes, I'm ranting about being busy. Guess as much a workaholic that I am, there's a limit to it.

Been changing from nocturnal to an early-riser... instead of going to bed at 1 and waking up at 6ish, i've been going to bed at 11ish and waking up at 4ish... Not sure how long i'll keep these hours, but will be at least until after my exam on the 13th. The reason for doing so is so that I can get my study hours for the day in before immerse myself in work. I kinda like the change as most of my time after 11pm were wasted surfing the internet and all that. So, might as well going to bed earlier and waking up and going into work earlier to study. More efficient that way it seems. Hopefully my hard work will pay off soon. Else, it's gonna be a dreadful 1 year wait for the exam.

Weather's been getting much warmer. And more rain too. Just 10 more days and I'll have my freedom back. There's so much to do... But I'm pretty sure when my exam is done, I won't be as excited about doing things as I'm now. But hey, all those Summer blockbusters are popping up, and there are so many books to on my shelf... and all those miles to run... I'm planning to run 2 marathons... One in July, and another in October... So, better get those miles in... I've been testing with a new running style, well, just giving more attention to how I'm landing my feet... Instead of pounding the ground with my heel, I'm gonna land on my heel and use more of my forefoot. It's more taxing for my calves but, it's definitely easier on my knees and ankles...

So, just want to drop by and update this blog before people start wondering where the heck I am.
