The day's happenings

Heh for a lack of a better title. anyway, i wonder who even reads my blog nowadays. i sometimes forget theres actually an audience out there who might possibly be reading this. Here's a nice space to just type out the occasional random thought. Its nice to have a one-sided conversation sometimes, when youre too tired to go into the details but you still feel like sharing with someone.

Mom's birthday today. Spent a bomb on a gorgeous red pierre cardin wallet for her. LOVE the smell of leather. Balked at the price initially (even after 20% off, its still quite ex), but it was all worth it when i saw how surprised she was, and how much she really liked it. It really is more blessed to give than to receive. :)

Went back to school in the evening for that one module. sigh..quite disappointed at the way it's been turning out actually. im genuinely interested in this course..but the tutor's so slack, and quite disorganized in the way he teaches. Furthermore, i registered for it in the hopes of learning more MIDI programming...but turns out that its not going to be covered much here. Anyway, its week 4 already, and I don't think i've learnt anything new. Its frustrating, because he just glosses over everything, gives us very little time for hands on practise- which is the best way to get familiarised with any software! And its so weird, because he alternates between treating us like kids (silly exercises like making us each take turns to read in front of the condensor mic?!) and adults (an excuse to just skim through stuff cuz we're 'supposed to know this since we're in university'. like hello, then we won't even be taking your course?!) Gave him some feedback last week when he was talking to kairu and i...i hope he got what we were trying to say. i don't mean to complain...but it is disappointing especially if you're really interested in the subject and not just taking it to clear AUs. The tutor undoubtedly is well-versed in his area of expertise... but its one thing to be good at something and another to teach others.

On a seperate note, its been a month and two days since our break up. Kinda hard not to keep count, considering that we broke up on new year's eve. Keeping busy helps. Alot. But there are reminders of him everywhere. Like yesterday, i saw a guy on the street wearing the same shirt i bought for him. And today, i smelt that familiar scent of cologne on some random person. Made me do a double take, but it was undeniably the same smell. Songs. Places. People.

i still miss him. But i know we're both in a better place right now.
