It was great weekend.

First of all, I watched GSL final screening in uni. It’s a rare experience to watch a GSL final with other starcraft fans.

 

To make the saturday night even better, Arsenal won Liverpool. Chelsea lost. Arsenal looks better on the 4th spot in the league.

Spurs lost as well. =)

At last all the assignments were submitted.

Applied Market Research: 93 pages
Marketing Analysis: 47 pages

That’s what you get when you pick research and not bullshit-crap-talk-your-way-through marketing courses.

I went to school yesterday morning to meet Kumar and Sue to complete the two assignments. There wasn’t as many people around since it is swotvac.

I work on 3 PC at the same time. Kumar on my left and Sue on my right.

Kumar left for work and 2511 wasn’t done. I carry on to work with Sue on 3504 till 8pm+, and managed to catch the 8.35pm bus to city. Just made it to Officework 5min before it was closed. It would have been a disaster if I didn’t get a printer ink cartridge there. Dinner with Sue in Hungry Jack’s.

Pulled another all-nighter to get all work done. My printer has never worked so hard before. 140 pages.

Struggled to school early in the morning to get both assignments binded before I dropped them in the hole of despair prove-yourself. 20min walk to school, 20min walk home.

Slept for 7 hours. Talked on phone for 1hr33min. lol.

My mother left me an offline msn message (Cantonese): “不要只顧和女孩子煲電話粥而不夠時間做功課,哈哈哈……”

It was a pity that I didn’t get to enjoy the MLG stream over the weekend due to school work. I’ve downloaded close to 60 replays though. But I doubt I’ve time to watch them before exam is over.

The MLG replays are quite screwed. Look at the picture above.

The colour is wrong when I rewind the replay. Blue and red cross over for both sides. I suppose it is because the player tab color is not correctly matched with the actual in game colour.

2 long days

I didn’t sleep on Thursday night, and just kept working on my school work. Met Sue in the lab for our research assignment after I had submitted the behavior essay. I just keep working till 8pm in school.

Sue is so much better with SPSS than I do

Nothing but these 3 drinks for the day

It’s amazing that “Max” became “Pat”, there were even “May” and “Matt” in the past.

Drop by Nando’s on my way home

Basically, after 46 hours without sleep, I just slept my whole Saturday and woke up to cook dinner before I watched the Champions League Final 2011.

When Manchester United got behind the ball and defended against Barcelona, it was considered as “tactical genius” by critics. When Arsenal did the same against Barcelona, it was “not attacking enough”. When Manchester United lost, it was “no shame to lose to the best team in the world.”. When Arsenal lost, it was “you can never win with boys.” Seriously!?

Undisputed best team in the world

Hopefully I can move to Platinum when I’ve more time after exam

It took me sometime to get down to work, which is bad.

I played a few games of Starcraft in the afternoon, and I’m satisfied with my improvement. I’m able to beat gold league players consistently but struggle against platinum players. One month ago, I’m struggling against gold league players, and occasionally losing to silver league players.

Why do some people become overweight and even obese, whereas others appear to be able to keep their weight within normal range? This question has interested psychologists for many decades (e.g. Bruch, 1961; Herman & Polivy, 1984; Kaplan & Kaplan, 1957; Nisbett, 1972; Schachter, 1971).

Stroebe, W., Papies, E.K. & Arts, H. 2008, “From Homeostatic to Hedonic Theories of  Eating Self-Regulatory Failure in Food-Rich Environments”, Applied Psychology: An International Review, vol. 57, pp. 172-193.

The above statement just reminds me of how my Ching Ching who always monitors my diet. “Drink more water!”. So my answer to that question above is: “because some have girls to mother them.”

My housemate is watching Power Ranger. lol. Probably influenced by my Pokemon craze. In fact, he’s done with Pokemon and in the middle of Power Ranger season 2?

I came across this on twitter just now. It’s nice to see people who actually make an effort to return a stranger’s wallet. (Probably she just wanna meet this guy. lol)

And I cook better day by day.

What a day.

I lost my USB drive.

Assignments are in it.
Research is in it.
Everything is in it.
Except my pokemon game is in another USB stick.

This is not the time to repent. Just have to accept it and get my work done before due date (with good grade).

While I was queuing in subway in school, there were 2 guys in front me.

“Idra’s style is…”

And we started to chat about starcraft.

Microsoft gonna acquire Skype?

This is the first time I’ve ‘used up’ a pen.
