9 weeks into term and i am FINALLY feeling semi-ready to study and work hard. i went to the library to do real work twice this week. I guess it's a good thing i decided to ease myself back into school this quarter 'cause I've been able to get away with slacking at school so far.

either way i am supersupersuper excited to go home! i haven't been to malaysia in a whole year - the longest i've ever been away. yes yes i still consider malaysia home, at least in the intrinsic sort of way even though i have probably deeper connections to london and stanford right now.

thanksgiving break with my family was much needed. it's so good to get some perspective in life and there is no better way to do it than chilling on the couch with nothing* to do. less than 2 weeks till i go home. hopefully my current work ethic can maintain till then.

* or at least the illusion of nothing
