My Week...

Haven't blogged for the past few days because of my daily project meetings.

Yesterday, we went to consult Danny, who then redirected us to Jie Min, one of the other tutors. We could tell that she was not happy to see us. As a tutor, she already has like 10+ other project groups under her; Danny only has 5 and he keeps pushing us to her. At the end of the day, our codes will were not fixed. We were stuck once more.

I can feel tension building up, especially in AL. His face turned black yesterday when XJ said that he did not bring his own codes. I expected that from XJ, but this was the first time AL reacted that way. I could tell that, out of the 6 of us, AL was the only one who was truly concerned at this point in time. The others are simply bo chup. As for me, I have cared & worried enough for the project during the first four weeks of this semester, so I am now just numb and waiting for this nightmare to end.

Nowadays, every time I come home from school, I would play Maple Story. It is my only source of entertainment now, given my crazy project meetings every week day. Good thing I have a dental appointment this Saturday so that gives me reason to skip (but I have to extract my tooth again... so sad).

I also managed to finish the HK detective series "To Catch the Uncatchable" that my mum borrowed. The ending was totally unexpected; a tragic ending to a comedy series that had me laughing all the way. It left a sort of bitter feeling in me.

*Spoiler:* The main character, Detective Mok contracted a medical condition from his injury after solving the last case. The doctor told him that he would drop dead any moment without any warning. Mok does not tell anyone about it, and indeed, he dies on the way to get his wedding photographs taken with his fiance.*/Spoiler*

I surfed around and realized that millions of fans were so put off by this ending that they wrote in tons of complaints to the show's development crew. In the end, they broadcasted an alternate 'happy ending', but it was lame and anti-climatic. The things people do to appease their fans...

Anyway, Duel Monsters GX episode 3 is out. Looks like I'll have more things to watch today. wee.
