Felt the tremors this morning at 8am. Was woken by the shaking of my bed. Thought my mom was doing the shaking to wake me up but realized that it was the aftershocks. My mom was sitting on the La•z•boy and initially thought it was some unclean entity shaking the chair... -_-''

Mom gave me a surprise today by getting me my first 3 diamonds. The designs were careful chosen by them, though small but I am nonetheless touched. Didn't expect my parents to spend a bomb on such. First gift received that was so expensive. Kinda feel awkward about it because initially I just wanted a simple affair. I made my mind that my first whole official paycheck would go to them.

Ever since school had started, everything things seems to move on 'fast forward' mode... 不知不觉, 5 weeks just whizzes past. I really wonder what I had learnt after attending all the lectures and the tutorials. Nothing seems to be staying in, suddenly it's like all interest is lost. Other than the lost of interest, it seems like it's draining my life away too... After each day at school I reach home dead tired even though when it's only a 2-hour lecture or tutorial. I wonder if this is what happens when you reach a certain stage where you just want to drop everything else and indulge in the things you like like nobody’s business.
This semester's workload unexpectedly turned out to be more than what I had expected.
