A page out of the ordinary life

I’ve been having a relatively bad day today. It wasn’t so much the exam which put me in a bad mood (I think I’ll be all right) but the $9 worth of library fines that I found out about this evening. I thought I’d renewed the book, and so it should’ve been fine, but apparently, I

A Rant

What should I write today? By rights, I shouldn’t even be writing. I have an exam tomorrow and I should be studying, but oh well, procrastination is my specialty. I’ve been lurking around the forums this evening, trying to guage people’s characters. I’ve given up waiting for a reply from my friend’s enemy, the one

A Random Post

Well, it’s the last day of lectures and I have a test this afternoon. I truly don’t have anything inspiring to write; I just want to type something, and see words appearing on a screen. Weird, huh? Maybe that’s part of being a writer. I just love the look of words as they appear on

The Power of Passion

It’s the end of the semester. I never realized how much I enjoyed studying history until I started revising today. Most of that stuff was still in my head, just buried under a bunch of other stuff. It was so easy to bring up with a few keywords, unlike my science subjects. Revising for those

Imposing political ideologies.

I was walking around the university today (actually, looking for the computer shop on campus so I could buy software which my brother needed) when I was intercepted by two chinese women (one young, one old) handing out fliers. I didn’t really know what it was about but I thought I’d take a flier and

Technology–the new conqueror

Yesterday morning, I discovered that my new mp3 player wasn’t working. It might not seem like a big deal, but to me, it was. See, I had been planning on taking it to university so I could work under the influence of music. The malfunctioning of that tiny machine stressed me out so much that

No Title Required

It’s Queen’s Birthday weekend. I have not done much, not even studied. I did write more than five hundred words of my fic today, and I got the green light for its sequel, which is like a medieval version of Indiana Jones with elements of the Lord of the Rings thrown in, and I think it’s

A Matter of Faith

I believe in God. I don’t believe in the Church, but I believe in God. I believe that He is part of us, and we are part of Him. It’s like being a drop of water in the ocean. We are the drops of water. God is the ocean; water, fish, seaweed and all. Some

An unusual day, to say the least

Well, I’m having a weird day. I don’t know if it’s bad or not. Firstly, I received a review which I did not expect. It was not the content which surprised me, but the sender, who is enemies with one of my online friends. I don’t want to fall into the trap of ‘the enemy

On the Social Heirarchy

When I was eleven, I realized I was living in a social heirarchy; one which had been passed down from generation to generation ever since the time of the ancients. And I hated it. As a girl, growing up in a rather traditional Chinese family, I came to realize that respect is dealt out according to age,

Of Ditzy Days and Student Life

I can’t say today was my best day. It started out pretty well, with handing in my second-to-last essay, a history lecture, and then shopping. I bought myself a proper Moleskine notebook, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl DVD. And then I got lost on the bus route, waited at some strange

To believe in the supernatural

So, erm, *cough cough* I should be working, but I’m not. I’m just playing around on the computer, feeling the need to type, but having nothing specific to type. I did write over one thousand words this morning for my latest chapter of Chance Encounter: Return to Middle Earth, so that’s pretty good. I couldn’t

All under control…or so I thought

You know those days when you wake up, and you think you know exactly what you’re going to do with your day, and everything that’s going to happen, and it doesn’t end up that way? Well, that was my day. I’d planned to study those subjects for which I’d missed classes, and maybe read a bit. At first it
