... A midsession break that shouldn't really be classified as a break.
Lets see, i'll briefly recount my week starting from after uni last friday:

- I spent Friday night online discussing our Fins2624 assignment, well actually, at that time i haven't actually started it. It was more like a confession to everyone else that i haven't started, i think i asked around to clarify some bits, but that was all. Instead i ended up chatting for a bit until my mummy told me she edited my chinese story for my story-telling-competition. I read it a few times and gave up. Went to sleep.

- Saturday morning was occupied with going to chinese school. Miserable news came to me in class when i heard that everyone who was competing in the story-telling-competition pulled out and i was the only one that had to. I was very depressed so i looked all sad, in hope... in hope... that my teacher would say: "That's ok ting ting, you don't need to compete" It wasn't like i wanted to compete in the first place, i made sure my story was very short and ridiculas so i wouldn't be picked. Instead, my teacher ended up putting more pressure on me. "Come on Ting Ting, you're the only one", and everyone else was like "Better come first, to bring honor to this class" LOl, so what choice did i have?
Anyway after chinese school was hardcore Fins'ing in order to get my bit done, i finished around 7, but spent the next few hours just reading it over and over trying to get it within word limit. So i think i got my bit done around 10ish, and then i worked on another question with the others till around 12.

- Sunday morning, well right after i got off the net yesterday night i practised my story a couple of times but i realised i couldn't remember it properly. No matter how hard i tried, i kept on forgetting, so i gave up and went to sleep. While sleeping however i played a tape that my mummy recorded for me. My mum read my story over and over around 10 times in hope that it will be embedded in my head when i woke up.
The alarm rang at 5, i was hoping i would get up and practise but instead i stayed lying in bed trying to recite it. Throughout i was just improvising along the way because i forgot the actual words. Sooner or later i fell asleep again.
I got up at 8ish, and maybe practised my story for one last time so i wouldn't make a fool of myself on stage. I seriously gave up then, i came to a conclusion that if i did forget, i'll just improvise the whole way through.
Well my family wasn't too keen to go and watch me, reckons that i'd be an embarrassment. My sister was the funny one "I'd have to slowly sneak out and tell everyone else that's not my sister and i don't know her" So anyways, only dad took me there, but he just dropped me off and went shopping.
So it turns out that i was the last to compete, i was contestant No. 13, but around 4 didn't show up. I must say the wait was horrible, especially watching the contestants who are - A. Younger than me, B. Really good. Before i was up there, i knew i was owned. Well anyway, i came to a conclusion that i was just going to go up there and entertain. If i could make one person laugh in the audience, i think it'll be worth it.
So i was up there, anxiously waiting for one of the judges to ring the bell so i could start, there were 3 of them, sitting right infront with marking sheets and what not. The rest of the hall were filled with the other contestants and their relatives. Outside the door i saw a glimpse of my dad who, automatically hid once i saw him.
Bell rings, i say one line... forgetting the next, 5 second silence... and well i just said whatever came to my head after that. It was like i improvised the whole thing on the spot. LOL, i think i added a few english words in it, like "yea.." and have lots of "ers" and "ums", my chinese is pretty bad, especially since i can't structure my sentences on the spot without thinking. But sooner or later it was over. Alot of people in the audience laughed but i left before hearing the results. I knew i wasn't gonna win anyway, why stay?
Rest of sunday i was at my cousin's BBQ, it was actually my neice's 2nd birthday. I wasn't going to go, but i wanted to meet up with cousins and catch up, it's been a while.

- Monday was Jane's b'day, so in the morning we all met up at her house hoping to bake a cake together. It turns out that we had to go to jamie's house instead cause jane's oven didn't worky. Lol, so we partly baked, partly watched Zoolander which was totally ridculas, but funny. The cake turned out looking alrite, even though i kinda accidently sliced off a bit. It however made a nice platform for the candles, view here
WE spent the rest of the time taking photos, catching up on news (more like gossip). I got bashed with stuffed toys for some odd reason, but yeap. That was mostly monday. The rest of the day was insignificant.

- Tuesday i was online all day, supposedly searching up articles for another finance assignment. I think i searched up 2 and gave up. Instead i chatted most of the time. After lunch I went to the temple for a bit, then came home took a nap. At night we looked at the moon cos it was "moon day"

- Wednesday was hardcore, i was on factiva for half the day going through 754 articles and copy and pasting the ones that were relevant. I kind of gave up at the end cos i was tired so i didn't do anything else for the rest of the day. At night i was online chatting for a bit, but not for long. I went to sleep but my pathetic mind was over thinking and i was soooo sad that i couldn't actually sleep.

- Thursday i woke up feeling cheered up so i did what i wanted to do, and got my bit of the finance assignment done, felt so relieved after that. Thus, i spent the rest of the day doing nothing.

- Friday, you realise that my days become less and less eventful. Today i did nothing AT ALL. Well apart from reading one page of one textbook, i did nothing else. ARRghh...

Oh well, that was pretty much my week. I better get something done today or else i feel like i wasted it. Oh well, the week's nearly over and there's nothing much i could say.
