Why is it cold? -O-

Okay...extremely short, brief (hardly precise) summary of what I’ve been doing, because it so seems that I have become rather reclusive >_>

In Shanghai, I basically shopped, ate and slept. I’m aware that my grandfather has bowel cancer, but he isn’t, and the rest of the family isn’t aware that I’m aware. T_T So basically I talk to him whenever he wants to talk to me, and I’m very patient. It’s depressing to think of him dying anytime the cancer cells just fell like spreading and tumourising, so all I can do is not think of it....it’s not really denial, more like purposefully making everyone happier.

One noteworthy think I did there was take lessons in magic with a friend of mine. It’s one of the largest private companies in China (one of the only 2 Chinese companies that squeezes its way into the world’s top 500), but is really hard to find. Recently they’ve started opening some magic learning places. Let me clarify - magic as in David Copperfield magic - not Harry Potter magic. Anyway, my teacher, Alan, is one of the strangest/funniest people I’ve ever met........In brief, I spent about 13 hours in total learning, more than half of which was used not in the actual tricks, but in psychology. Not hypnotism, but psychology, and twas highly intriguing.

So I can now claim that fate entwines every one of you with me, and if any of you feel like bringing a pack of playing cards with you, I’ll show you. =D

My days in Melbourne have been rather boring. Spent going to lectures, watching stuffems and reading stuffems. I want to rant about Bel Canto, but can’t be bothered. My internet works every few hours, and noone is on msn when I am. Or else they’re all “appearing offline” like I am...

I’ve been told a billion times by so many people that my health/body is the most important thing. If I don’t exercise, I can’t work. Blah blah blah. It’s hardly necessary to say that I’ve also been told how important it is to start studying NOW, to do things NOW, to not loosen my concentration/drive, everything is fucking NOW. =_=

...that is all. Except that school is starting next Friday and I really don't know how I'll survive getting up so early every morning.

magic, china, school
