I remember how I used to play with the bubble wraps that come in packaging boxes. Well, if you think you're an addict, a cheaper way to satisfy yourself is to play virtual bubble wrap. Of course, it is mindless and useless. But believe it or not, it actually relieve stress and is a good therapy. Go on, pop some bubbles!

How’s the holiday so far? Mine is kind of blurry with hints of Ugly Betty, shopping and a badminton session. That’s about it. Other than that, I can’t even remember what day it is on a particular day. But I’m trying to keep tab of what I’ve been up to. In general, not much I guess. And I’ve only just been told that there is a Spanish version of Ugly Betty that was shown on TV a long time ago. I don’t remember watching that though. But I do remember The Nanny, The X Files, Are You Afraid of the Dark and Back to the Future. That sort. Oh, and of course good ol’ Full House. But anyway, the Ugly Betty I’m watching now is the American one. The one with America. She’s a brilliant actress. I also love her character in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Alright, enough about the movies.

Since I am home, I see toys in front of me all the time. Ok, I’m exaggerating. Only when I watch TV do I see them. The living room has become my brother’s play room. Naturally, on one of the forgotten days, I played with dough. I know I’m not a kid but I see it as a work of art. Here’s my ‘art’.

I just had my last exam earlier today and well, I thought it was better than the previous Stats. But I hope all my papers are okay because I don’t want to do so badly since this is my final year.

After the paper, my friends and I went out for lunch to enjoy the post exam period. Haha. It has become sort of our little tradition after the end of every examination. Today, we were introduced by Nina to this nice restaurant in Kiulap (I regret to say I can’t recall the name) and had steamboat. We busied ourselves with the food which can be quite a messy affair if you are not used to the whole thing. Either that or steamboat is just naturally made to be that way.

So without further ado, here are some shaky shots for your digestion.

I have one more paper to go. But that's four days away so I'm going to relax a bit for now. But I have to remind myself that the last paper is going to be the toughest. I'm hoping I don't regret this one as I have the earlier one. Oh, and today outside the examination hall where people put their bags, someone's phone got stolen. The a-hole thief better rot in hell for that!

I was quite disappointed that Novak Djokovic didn't make it to the finals. Also that Nadal lost all his round robin matches. And also the fact that Soderling lost to Del Potro in the semis. Now I don't really have a favourite in the final. The final today sees Juan Martin Del Potro in a battle with Nikolay Davydenko. Somehow, I kept mispronouncing his name as Didenko cos that's the name of our lecturer. But whoever wins, well, deserves it of course. And that would mark the end of tennis for this year. I'm looking forward to the next season!

Exam has officially started. Mine starts on Thursday but I’m still not a hundred percent in that mode yet. I still play a bit of the silly game which I’m getting very sick of. I watch live scores all the time which is bad in this situation. Why the heck does the exam time always clash with the ATP World Tour Finals? Because of the exam, I can’t watch my favourite players live on TV. Speaking of which, here are some pictures of the players posing for the official portrait in London.

Nadal looks so smart with his hair combed back. I think he looks better with a shorter hair.

As I have said, I've been playing this game for a while now. I stopped and started again. Pathetic, I know. But what else can I do? Study all day long? I don't think so.

I find this game rather colorful and welcoming, a contrast to the mathematical stuff I have to face these days. But what you see here is not the high level ones. I'm just playing the survival mode.

In comparison to the exam, I'm the Pea Shooter and the papers are the Zombies. And the reward Bag of Gold Coins are hopefully the good grades I'm getting in the end. Ok, I gotta stop cos if I keep on playing, for sure my brain will be exponentially decaying as t goes to infinity. Oh, Maths, damn you!

The exam timetable isn't out yet which is really frustrating because I don't know how to schedule my revisions. Ok, that's just an excuse to slack for another couple of days. I came back home and I didn't bring anything back to revise. And I'm skipping the very last class of the semester, even though I'm still not sure if we have a test or not. Screw that. Haha

My sisters, mum and I went shopping earlier and they got at least 3 pieces of clothings each. Me? Zero. I don't know, the salesperson kept showing me different choices of clothes but I just shrug and nod. I guess I suck at shopping for clothes.

Water supply at home has been very low and now I think we're completely cut off so imagine the difficulty especially when we want to empty our bowels. We even have to ration the water for showering. That's why we only feel the importance of water once we run out of it. Sigh.

And of course I won't end this post without mentioning BNP Paribas Masters. Roger Federer lost in his opening round which is a bit disappointing. Andy Murray also lost to Radek Stepanek. Rafael Nadal is wearing the same checker pants which is fugly! (the neon shirt doesn't help as well) And I'm gonna miss Marat Safin. Guess I can still watch his sister on WTA.
