two days ago, i passed my hazard perception test.

i’ll do my driving test in the next two months.

today, we had a lot of fun having a trip… to our backyard.

we ate together under a big tree there. we had fried noodles and tuna fillets. yummm…

daud needed to wipe his hand. so, he did it… on me.

and daud also had fun playing with his ball.

we finished by praying together there.

last night, i spent about 2 hours producing 3 hard-copies of my thesis (as rmit requires). 2 hours??? yeah, several accidents happened. i printed one copy on the cave, took it upstairs to the data preparation room, made two copies of it, and now i was ready to bind them… and i wasn’t. i noticed that the photocopier produced extra visible lines. ugh, if i were the examiner, i wouldn’t care, but you know, academics, while some of them have really low expectations for artistic presentations (see the posters in conferences to see pixellated images), some of them can be absurdly finicky (“your paper is good, but i don’t like it. i flag it as ‘reject’.” i’m not kidding. it happened to my senior supervisor). therefore, i printed another one. and to speed up the process, i tried to print another copy to another printer. my access was blocked for printers other than the one at the cave! what happened? anyway, gayan helped me printing another one. thanks, mate.

and then, the laborious task of binding… creating the holes, putting the pages in, and tada. i gave them to beti, and phew. wish me luck, everyone.
