Finally… another post after nearly 2 months! There’s so much that happened in 2A that I’m not sure I can fit all of them on this page lol…

The midterm was a disaster… and that’s probably why I stopped posting after that. But fortunately, the finals went better (thank you morning exams). And I also think it’s thanks to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 as well . In fact, my friend and I played a combined total of around 80 hours of CoD during the 2 weeks of exam. I’d say it was a good way of relieving stress.

Last term, I watched I think 4 dramas, but some I still haven’t finished or will not ever finish. I watched:

Autumn Concerto (watched 4 or 5/20, will not continue watching)
Mei Ren Xin Ji (watched like 28/40 all during exams)
Buzzer Beat
JIN (watched 4/11)

I don’t really wanna post and spoilers of why I stopped watching Autumn Concerto, but let’s just say I got tired of plot cliches… The other 3 were pretty good imo.

Now my workterm starts next Monday, and I wonder what I’ll be doing for the next four months…

procrastination kills

I thought I was going to be productive last weekend. As usual, nothing goes according to my plan in terms of finishing assignments.

On Saturday, I spent around 6 hours playing Granado Espada. My clannies and I were doing the Secret Tower dungeon. We went for two runs, and the outcome was okay being the first time we ever raided together. Lag and disconnects pretty much killed us both times – first run, the tank d/ced (gg lol), and during the second run, we were hit by the infamous ST lag and eventually everyone got d/ced. Awesome times

Then on Sunday, I played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for 5 hours straight. I think everyone that joins the map Rust wouldn’t really want to stop playing cause of the constant action. I ended up with around 700 kills and 500 deaths. Before I knew it, it was Sunday midnight and I had an assignment due the next day. At that moment, I decided to start a jdrama – Buzzer Beat! I actually finished it just now, and overall I thought it was amazing.

One word (or three actually) – F.M.L.

Hi My Sweetheart (海派甜心)

Hi My Sweetheart is a Taiwanese Drama starring Rainie Yang and Show Luo. I finally finished the last ep today and I must admit I was decently surprised being the first twDrama that I’ve watched. I have never cared about Taiwanese actors or actresses at all before, but I guess Rainie and Show earned a bit of my respect for showing good acting skills

Synopsis (taken from DramaWiki):
Xue Hai was a certifiable dork when he first arrived in Shanghai. After his schoolmate Bao Zhu saved him from bullying, she became his first love. Then, a misunderstanding caused them to lose contact when she moved back to Taiwan. He thought she dumped him. So he transformed himself from a dork to a hunk in order to seek revenge.

For those that understand taiwanese, you can just watch the whole drama on youtube. I myself can understand a few words here and there, but that’s pretty useless since I can’t understand the whole idea lol, but I think I already learned quite a bit from one drama. So for those that don’t really understand like me, thankfully Still-Frames subbing group is subbing this drama. Thanks alot! There are megaupload/torrent links on their site.

Have fun watching! Now, I gotta get back to studying
