Been waiting to write this...

I finally completed my IA report and Poster Design!!

The past few weeks had been one rough ride... Never before had I felt so stressed and freaked out... The rush to meet the deadlines almost drove me over the edge... And the person responsible? My supervisor... He held too high of an expectation... And yet he would always drag things on and on... He never bothered to read the report drafts that I sent him... So ended up I always have to consult him personally and make him go through it on the spot... This proved to be an almost impossible task... Since he would be MIA for most of the time... Yeah... He has been really busy as he is scheduled to fly to US for a conference that would last 2 weeks... Definitely not a welcomed plan when I need to finish my report before he leaves...

The only thing he was truely concerned about was the poster design... He actually made changes and provided lots of comments... This amazed me... Seems like most supervisors are very uptight when it comes to this... Maybe the prize had them motivated... Although it was said that the rational behind this was that the supervisors did not want to be shamed in front of the people who would be gracing the event... But who am I to care? The poster design is just another necessary, if not boring, requirement for me to pass my IA... I am confident that I would be just standing down there... Trying hard to appear interested, and not dozing off on my feet... But most importantly, I pray that I would not have to explain my poster too much... Just to the judges would suffice... Afterall, my supervisor would not make it in time to come back and see my performance... Haha...

Today is the first day of renovation work for the house... Had been super tired over the weekend... The shifting and removing of furnitures was a killer... Never had I knew that my house has so many things... Luckily, on saturday my sister bf came and helped with the heavy stuff... And sunday my brother came back from his camp to continue... Got a little pissed off at those cleaners... They never remove those pieces of furnitures that we decided to throw... And so in the end, we had to take them to the rubbish collection station a few blocks down... To only be ignored again... The cleaners just look on while the pathetic ladies tried to unload the heavy furnitures... So much so for paying more than 50 bucks for maintenance fees every month... The service received just went further downhill with each passing day...

But the house looked very big and clean after we shifted everything into the bedrooms and storeroom... It was also refreshing to be having dinner without tables and chairs... Something which had my dad nagging whenever he had to sit on the floor to eat anything... But the real challenge starts today... I have to brace myself for the dirt and the lack of facilities to use... Bye bye to the comfortable days for now... Hope that the workers could work fast and complete the job within 2 weeks... Then, back to cleaning the house again... But I am sure that I would be more than grateful to be doing that...

I am still shopping around for a pair of sneakers... My current pair is wearing out fast... But I am having trouble in deciding what to buy... The ones that I had tried were not too comfortable... And the prices were a little steep... I hated having to go through this... Buying shoes was never easy for me... My feets are just too unique... They differs in sizes (though not to obvious, but still a major problem when it comes to selecting covered shoes)... Furthermore, I am always "bitten" by new shoes... No matter how good the brand... Sad case right? But I have to really get a new pair of sneakers no matter what... Although I think I would shelf the idea for the time being... I do not want to add on to the mess the house is already in with more stuff!! That would give me more time to think about what to get...
