A Sinusoidal Fate?

Before I begin.. 2 more weeks and I'll be home!! Wheee!

Alright.. so a LOT has happened since my last post. Wai Kit & I joined a poster competition for the first time.. didn't turn out too well though (we finished 2nd place.. out of two.. wth). We still ended up with a $50 gift card which we're still yet to use.. hmm. Timeline check, this was 2 weeks ago. Now... mark my words.... It only gets interesting from here on.

The following week was pretty good from an academic viewpoint, but the week ended with me left in tatters.... On that fateful Thursday afternoon, my residence was burgled. Gone was my dying laptop, and a pair of earphones. My room looks pretty trashed normally, and ironically this pretty much saved a number of my personal belongings from being taken away as well. My housemates lost quite a few items as well, and the attempts of the cops to lift a trace off the house later in the day proved futile. Oh and did I mention, no sign of forced entry. Either way, we got the landlord to change the locks the very next morning.

But it didn't end there.. The next day, Wai Kit sees a black teenager with yellow eyes knock the window right outside our backdoor (which means he's ALREADY WITHIN OUR COMPOUNDS since we have a backyard), making gestures as though he should open the back door for him.. WTF?? Luckily he walks away after a while. If this was a sign the burglar/s were comin' back, then I figured my desktop which they left untouched would probably rank pretty high on his/their list.. My solution? Pack it up and send it away some place safe.

Since then, I've been left pretty deprived of a computer let alone internet connection.. Life sure isn't the same without it (it sucks o be frank). Hence, my sudden disappearance from MSN, and most forms of communication with the world outside IIT. Terrible times, these.. especially with the finals furiously approaching.

Then came the light at the end of the tunnel (at least that's what I'd like to read of it). The stage is finally set for my dream Champions League final.. Manchester United vs Barcelona in the Eternal City, Rome (which is of course, home of my other favorite team, AS Roma). Tons of drama to precede, but I'm finally going to be able to truly enjoy a dream of a finale when I get back to Malaysia..

Given the pattern of recent events, I'm already preparing myself for another catastrophe.. lol. God willing, I shall get through that and get back here to tell the tale.. Till then... abschied.
