New School Year

Well, I have started a new school year. And I'm working too.

So I'm a full time student AND employee.

Wow.

This means less time for me to draw, surf net, do homework and go to the library.

This means I can save more money to pay for the Tuition loan in the future.

Or spend it on cosplay and making merchandise to sell in local conventions.

Hm.

This month is a great spending month for me - I have to get a 15" Macbook Pro ( because Vis. Com. students need a decent screen size to do graphics ), a hard disc drive ( for backing up data because the family computer keeps shutting down for no apparent reason, despite reformation and stuff. Needless to say, I wasn't very pleased. And I think I know who's the idiotic user letting in all the viruses/ trojans/ proxies. ), a USB port ( because I always plug a lot of stuff into the PC and Mac only got 2 USB which is not enough. ) and maybe speakers ( because the ones at home died a long time ago and nobody bother to get them.) at the school's IT Fair or the COMEX IT fair during September.

At least my modules seem more interesting this semester. The professors for Typography and Graphic Design are cool. Craft of Writing looks fun. I was just bored by the first lecture of History of Graphic Design since I read about Pictograms, Cruneiforms and Hieroglyphs ( all 3 forms ) about a decade ago in primary school as side interest. I even read about Linear A and B that wasn't covered in the lecture.

The thing is we have to buy a book for that module. And it's not cheap. The module is only for one semester. I don't mind buying for Typography since there are 3 modules, but for one that only going to last a little more than 3 months? : (

I'm going to see whether any seniors are throwing out their books to sell at the school's bazaar.

Hm...... Oh yes.

A bunch of belated birthday wishes to be written here:

Happy Belated Birthday to Deviantart ~ It's a wonderful place to look at inspirational pieces. Though I am still confused whether your B day in on 6/8, 7/8 or 8/8.

Well this is ambiguous. I have seen someone stating Axel's birthday as 8/8 for the sole reason that he's no. VIII in the organisation which I think is plausible, but what about Roxas' birthday? There's only a thirteenth month in Chinese Lunar calendar about twice every 3 years and the month changes every time. This year, there a second 5th Lunar month. In any case, Happy Belated Birthday to you, Axel. Just try to go easy on Roxas, eh? XD But I do find it kinda creepy that this guy shares the same birthday as ......

Best wishes to my home, Singapore. May you continue to perserve and shine through this difficult period.

That's all for now. Sorry for writing such a long entry.
