Mood: lazy Fact of the day: event of the week: swing dancing this friday
Haven't been able to connect to internet at home for the past week, so I'm feeling sort of fustrated. But maybe it is a good thing. The one time when I was actually able to dial in, I was trapped in this evil program called the ICQ, which basically took up all my time. Ended up chatting with my friends on ICQ for the whole night, though what I wanted to do online was check my emails and do my homework.Oh well. *That's* why my homework never get done. Haha..
It's been a rather uneventful week though. Still the usual rushing for homework deadline kinda stuff, but I've decided to just relax. Didn't hand in one piece of homework, because I really couldn't manage, but it's not bothering me as much as I thought it would. Guess it's a good thing I'm not a perfectionist. Imagine if I demanded 100% for every piece of homework I do. I would have killed myself by now. Isn't it such a relieve, to know that I'm alive? Hah..
It was Mid-Autumn festival a few days ago. The moon is still pretty full and round last night. Maybe I'll go out with lynn and shaun tonight, to go admire the moon. Heh. Anyway, as usual, hwachong had their MAF celebrations over the last weekend. We are organising our own celebrations here at uiuc this weekend. Maybe because I really feel so strongly about this festival, I'm putting in a lot of effort this time. Selling tickets, setting up a performance segment, encouraging people to go, blah blah blah. I wasn't this enthusiastic for even the annual BBQ, though the BBQ was supposed to be *the* event of the year for ssa. Oh well.
Even this senior asked jokingly, "Wah, why so big deal this year ah?" I wasn't offended, but I think I really sounded quite defensive, when I said, "Eh, this is very important ok." Oh well. But I really think so. Considering I don't even like to eat mooncakes, I think I just look very dumb, trying so hard to get people to see my point of view. Yes, my point is, I think MAF is a very wonderful festival that one ought to take time to celebrate. I still remember how excited I was when I was young, carrying lanterns around my neighbourhood. And also how "high" I was during the hwachong MAF celebrations. Man, those were the days. It's difficult to have that festive feeling I had here though.....
Maybe I'll feel better when I see the mooncakes on saturday. I won't eat them though.
