I've been questioning myself these past few days: Am I taking the right path in life? I'm a Computer Science major, and ever since the beginning of my university life there's always been a nagging voice saying that it might, just might, not be the correct choice. I've been wondering whether I'm really meant to be such a technical person; I like programming because it employs logic and analysis, but having to employ logic and analysis in a programming exam just don't interest me very much, because that's just how all exams are. Other than that, no aspect of the major attracts my interest. On the other hand, I'm have a keen interest in web design (and programming, but as I said, it's just for the logic and analysis part), multimedia, graphic design, and illustration. I mean, heck, look at my site here; it wouldn't even exist if I had no interest in art and design, would it? The one thing I was worried about, however, was that if I did take Art, it would be just another routine, another schoolwork that I disliked, and I would start losing interest in it. Like how I'm losing interest in programming now. I feel like I'm facing a crossroads in my life, where there are two paths to take. I'm already walking down one, but now and then I stop and ponder at the other one, which is getting further and further away all the while. I don't know what to do ;_;

Look at what pre-exams depression is doing to me and my thoughts *_*;;

Which resident of the Little Wooden Shack are you?
Quiz by Andrea.

Wheee~ :D :D That's right, people, instead of studying for my exams, I'm having some 'net fun. Oh, and some artsy experimental fun as well. Heaven knows why it's so difficult for me to actually STUDY.

Last night I saw Home Alone on Encore. I'd forgotten how fun the movie was... I was, what, 8 years old when I first saw the movie :P I didn't understand any English back then; I didn't even know what the heck "Home Alone" meant, so I only enjoyed it because I was such a... little kid. I loved seeing the good guys win and the bad guys getting beaten up, but I guess that was about as far as I gotten into the movie. Last night, however, I found that the movie was, well, great. It was far better than how I remembered it; the dialogue was great, the casting was perfect, the music was awesome (John Williams'... the guy never does bad music), and the kid was cute. The movie has quality, d00de, that much is clear, AND it is a PG. You don't see that sort of amusing and entertaining PG movies much nowadays, you really don't.

This is the coolest gaming news I've heard in a long time.

I'm really giddy with excitement. I mean, seriously, I was already committed to buying a GameCube even if it were only for Soul Calibur 2. Now there's just no reason for me not to get the spiffy little console. Not that there ever was any in the first place :P

I moved!

It's been such a hectic week. On Sunday my mom, brother, sister, cousins, aunt, and grandma came. Monday I had my exam which I couldn't study for because my old apartment was small and thus was very crowded. On Tuesday, we moved into a new, bigger apartment, which was in the same complex as my old one, except that it was, well, bigger. It was really messy, as how moving houses always is. I had only resumed the phone connection today, and the cable TV's not on yet, meaning the TV's practically useless right now. And still I haven't finished unpacking a lot of stuff O_o;; Ugh, tired...

Heh... I still haven't fully recovered from the shock and exhaustion of moving homes. And it isn't even my REAL home; it's got probably a hundredth of all the stuff I have in my house back home, but still, moving was pretty tiring. I used to move a lot back home, because my parents are architects and they build apartments, so we always get to stay in whichever apartment we like best, provided there is a vacant unit available. But then I didn't exactly have to move the stuff myself, nor did I have to organize or take care of any of the complicated stuff like changing addresses and the like. There were always people to do those things for us; my parents' secretary/assistant would take care of the address change and notify everybody that we moved, and Indonesia being the third world country it is, we could easily get a lot of people to move our larger items (ie. furnitures) cheaply. I mean, heck, the biggest difference between life here and back home is that here, I have to do every single little thing myself. That includes calling all the magazine publishers that I subscribed to to tell them of my change of address.

Okay, so this post has absolutely no point at all, aside from my whining. Oh yah, mesa has to tell yousa that I'll be off to NZ for holiday for a week, and I'm leaving on Friday the 28th. Meaning, of course, no updates. No posts, no new things, nothing. I won't even be around. Enjoy whatever's here while I die of motion sickness on the bus.

No wait. It's gonna be nice.... at least it's SUPPOSED to be nice. NZ is where the LoTR movie was made... and it looks byootiful ;_; I sure hope the breathttaking scenery would prevent me from having motion sickness all day long, otherwise since most of my week there will be spent on the bus, I'll probably die from the smell of my own vomit. I hope not.
