I have not been able to connect to my stupid Jetstream connection for the past 5 days. It's a shame when an expensive fee is paid monthly to get such fast connection and all I got was a bloody connection that's as slow as a 14.4kbps (ten years ago remember?). I called up Telecom and complained for one full hour and I even helped them to diagnose the whole damn problem, reading out the pings and paths. In the end all i got was a reply from the guy, "It seems that your area has been having this problem since the past few days and we are still trying to solve it" followed by "I'm sorry"... wtf?
I hung up and five minutes later the company called back and told me that my bill for the month will be refunded. I guess that could not solve my problem. I need this connection to stay in touch with the outside world. Well, that's the best I could get. 60 bucks a month is no joke.

Currently listening to Maroon 5 - Sunday Morning

So much has happened during the past month: completely stressed out over my project; project, project and project! yeah. it could be the worst and most stressful time of my life so far. However, I have to say that all this will be over pretty soon, in 3 weeks at most! I handed in my final draft last Friday and decided to take a short break from all these and headed straight to Hanmer the following day with Mabel. It was a short trip however it's very relaxing: no need to think too much about other people and well, it's just plain 'sit back and relax'. I hope I have the chance to do this more often, considering the past 12 months I have been thinking about my studies every single minute. It's kind of a torture when you know what you do will affect the people around you. A torture to yourself and them. Well, the good thing is it will all be over! And: It's still chinese new year, I wish all a happy chinese new year, even though it's said to be a bad year for everyone but cheer up, be cautious at all times and you'll be fine.Now: after a two day relaxing trip, i'm back to my work, not much work but i still need to finish up this and get on with my own life. Studying life is nearing its end. Thank god.
