absolutely DISASTROUS and BAD NIGHT
i came home after having a fairly ok day on the first day of my practicum and did my report and planning to do my reflections. I saved my stuffs, went downstairs and turn on the lappie as i wanted to watch tv as well.... and GUESS WHAT CRAP THING happen to me... my pen drive gave up on me!!!
HOW FREAKING RUDE is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no chance of recovering all my work, my templates that i have done. Although i have at times (rarely) saved them onto the hard disk of the computer, it wasn't an updated version...
very upset!!!

This week of the holiday went rather fast. I am alone during the day as Zac and my parents has went to Wellington for his hockey games for the week.
I baked some lemon cupcakes, prepare dinner yesterday (with the help of Susan for the soup), sew up a cap with cotton stuffings and prepare for my 7 wk practicum. It was quite busy and i have to make a trip to campus tomorrow to photocopy some readings.
Also looking forward to the next week and the week after as Wz's mum and sis will be here. will be going off to Rotorua during the weekend with them.
And i planned for wz's birthday and told him what i will be getting him. I advise that it was rather intangible and his present was an IDEA from me.... which is--------------- going down to christchurh during the long weekend.
Sampo and HL would not be coming this year end.. :( We tot we wud carry on with our plan of visiting the South Island but visting Christchurch and Queenstown at one go seems to cost a blardy fortune.
So!! My "ingenious" idea of visiting Christchurch on Weizhong's birthday!!!.....
