Because I’m defeated by inertia, and have only filled in the cover page (containing my name and student number only haha) of my Marx paper, I have decided to just post some pictures to entertain whoever may be reading.
You’re supposed to laugh.
Okay, and now to share with you a class lunch picture:
Having sichuan cuisine
I must [...]

During this period last year I was really vexed running around house hunting in the vicinity of school, going to agent after agent, viewing house after house. Out of the many places I saw, I fell for my current one-bedroom apartment. Maybe in more than one sense of the phrase.
There were cheaper alternatives, but there [...]
Okay, bad news first. A classmate who is in several of my classes is suspected to be diagnosed with TB (tuberculosis). Everyone from his class has been contacted to go for an X-ray check-up at the school hospital to make sure it hasn’t spread to any of us. I think that was a good move [...]
Prof. Dr. Roman Herzog Bundespräsident a.D visited Fudan University yesterday!
He spoke about the main problems with European Law Strategies…or more accurately, “Hauptprobleme der europäischen Rechtspolitik”.
I wasn’t aware of his visit until the day itself. My class was notified the previous day that we were to miss our core English class to attend a talk, some [...]

So, the 7-day holiday [...]

If you blog mostly about yourself, do you agree that you’re mainly using blogging as an avenue to sort out your own thoughts? It has been a long while since I wrote frequently in my “traditional” diary, and I haven’t touched the diary ever since I resorted to blogging. I don’t think you can know [...]
I was wearing a nice green collared shirt beneath my jacket today, and left the jacket open, and thought I looked smarter than my usual casual affair. It was UBC interview day.
After a yawning session of the Old Testament (I spent the entire class time categorizing some of the pictures on my laptop), I bought [...]
5th George Bernard Shaw Essay Competition
For what it’s worth, I was awarded the Best Essay for a Contemporary Theme. I received An Anthology of Irish Literature, and a U2 cd. I wrote about women, sex, and sexuality.
The best part of the ceremony? Drinking Baileys!
Do you always do things out of your own accord? ‘Coz sometimes I find myself doing things because I have a name to keep or a certain institution’s reputation to uphold.
Sometimes things really beg the question of what’s in a name.
Although in a highly-reputed government board of the country, I don’t really see how one [...]
