Holidays coming to an end...

Yeah, holidays already ended by the time I post this. As I'm typing this, it's 11:55 PM, 5 minutes to Monday.

A short update here - what did I do during my holidays? My 3-week holiday

I did read a lot of articles (mainly tech anyway), posted a lot of things on Preppy Droid - even covering for Apple's recent keynote live till about 3.30 AM, wrote one (only one lol) new lyric. I do need to get on the chords. Without it I can't do anything. Lyric-writing is totally freestyle.

Read The Science Of Getting Rich - you probably knew if you visited :P

Not quite a reader here, I read things slow and steady to ensure that I do understand the sentences. Few pages and I'm already sleepy lol. I have to say, reading that book on my laptop is a pain in the ass.

Learned a little bit of Java for Android. Basically it's not much difference from Visual Basic. You design your layout, link it to the class then in each class, define each of the button in the design with specific actions. Interesting enough there's a thing called "manifest" which controls which launches first, how it is launched and so on. The Android ecosystem is so wide that you can write apps in Java or C++ with various APIs! The codes are still fuzzy to me. I only watched about 17 videos out of the total 200... Still grateful that I started to watch them.

Then I followed my sister out for a whole afternoon to learn more about photography. It was a great chance that I am glad and grateful to be able to follow. Got a lot of ideas on how to really take a great photo. Angles are very subjective, but the pretending part is really hard if you want to get a really good shot with a subject in it. Another things is to do whatever it takes to get a shot you want. Absolutely no fear. My sister and the photographer went in the stopped train, sat at the railing's side and went up a bridge connecting both sides of the station just to get a shot. Overall a very great experience indeed!

That's my holiday for 3 weeks. I think it's well spent.

And it's already 12.10 AM. Posting this and sleeeeeeeep. A great day to start a brand new semester ahead!
