* I have no internet at the moment cause I just moved home. Internet won't be on until at least another week. I feel disconnected but at the same time it's OK cause I get to read more books!

* I moved on Wednesday, which is the day of Indonesia's General Election. I was planning to go to the consulate to vote but the move took a while so I ended up not going. However, it's good seeing that the incumbent won. At least it's not her.

* Harry Potter in 5 days!! I've got my ticket and I'm going to the 6pm showing after work - cannot wait, eeeeee! I also bought the celebratory edition of HBP but I haven't started reading it. Hopefully I'll have enough time to finish it before Wednesday!

* Have decided to ignore whatever it is my parents are going through. Seriously don't give a damn anymore!

* Cold snap is not cool! It's been freezing during mornings and nights the last couple of days. I'd take 40 degrees summer days anytime!

Exams are done - hallelujah! I had a moment of despair yesterday when I was studying and couldn't seem to understand anything. I gave up hope completely and went crazy on You Tube watching clips of Avenue Q. But I don't think I did bad at all. I think I managed to salvage 65% so I'm happy enough! The one on Wednesday, the third one, was a lot better. I was so confident working on it and it made me feel so good, so hopefully my marks won't turn out like last semester's, fingers crossed!

Of course the first thing I found out after turning on my mobile after exam was that Michael Jackson died. I honestly thought it was a joke, or one of Michael Jackson's crazy stunts where he would just hide from the world, as is his habit. However, since it's all over the news, I guess it's true. I'm not a Michael Jackson fan, but I'm from a generation who grew up with his songs so it's weird to actually think of him as dead. And only 50, too!

The one thing that I don't like about his death now is that it overshadows Farrah Fawcett's death, which is kind of unfair to Farrah. What's with all the news leading up to her death, it kind of feels like this build-up towards an end, only to be eclipsed. Poor lady. I know we're talking about deaths here, but I can't help that there's a certain cruel Hollywood humour somewhere there! Over the top.

As for me now... winter break! Ah how blissful that sounds after the month I've had. Didn't think it would ever end. How nice it is to just wander around not having to worry about what's to come, even if it's temporary! Reading books without feeling guilty, now that's something I can look forward to!

Yesterday and today has been ridiculously warm and sunny, considering that it's winter! I'm just super-bummed about the fact that I'm spending both days indoors for an exam I know I'll end up failing anyway. Aaaargh!

Exam Day Two - made of major fail. Compared to this one, yesterday's was smooth-sailing. It's upsetting especially cause I thought I was well-prepared for it and I was, but it's one of those situation where when you look at the problems in the exam paper, everything you learned just melded into one. I was bullshitting all the way through. Now I'm tired and burnt out and still have two more exams to go in the next three days. Even attempted to nap but my body just wouldn't do it even though I know I am exhausted.

Anyway, I'm watching the news now and this whole French Burka ban is downright ridiculous. I'm not even half religious and Sarkozy's comment annoys me to no end. If they're gonna ban it, how about those who actually choose to put the Burka on? Despite Sarkozy saying that it's not religious, it inevitably is. It is a way of life chosen by some people, just like Catholic nuns or Jewish men wearing their caps/hats. Just... meh, stupid stupid man.

And on a completely different note, I downloaded Hawthorne. Michael Vartan is back, heehee! The pilot is OK, not great. More hospital drama, this time focusing on nurses instead of doctors, which is interesting but not too compelling yet. Still, Michael Vartan is preeetty!

Proof that Buffy would totally kick Edward Cullen's arse!
