Damn virus forced me to format my entire drive. Unfortunately, some documents I had were not backed up and all of them are lost.

Crap.

Well, it's back to the drawing board. At least they were mostly non-academic documents.

So far, Life hasn't been all too kind. First, had a literal exam fever on the first day of the Penilaian 1. Then, lost my voice. Man, things suck at this time. But then again, Fate hasn't been so unfair: made a new friend in the form of Ramin Krose. (Dude, if you're reading this please tell me I spelled your name right!) The German who hails from Cologne finally made his debut in school and in the class - with, of course, everyone's eyes drawn to him.

It eeriely reminded me of what I went through in the early days of Lower Six. But let's not digress.

It's probably because everyone was anxious to see how he looks like, and that he is an exchange student. We don't get any back in the old days, except with our seniors in the previous years. The girls especially were all whispering to one another about him, their excitement barely contained. It's amusing to see how everyone reacted to him. But pretty soon all of that will wear out and things will return to normal.

It also made me think of how different the West and the East are, as what many people - both old and new - have been saying. More on this another day.

And everyone I meet always asks: "How was he?" Sigh, c'mon dear friends, why not take the time to get to know him better? Even he put it very well: some people just ask a brief description of him and then just leave him as is, uninterested. It's pretty stupid I think.

Well, I do hope he will settle down into the Michaelian lifestyle soon enough.

Cheers for now.
