The shenyang visitors came and left. They had been really hospitable when I was there. Before they left Singapore, they left me with lots of meaningful gifts. In contrast, I must have been a really bad host, yet they put in lots of nice words of me in front of my superiors.

Once they left, I was occupied with the project reports to be submitted for the project festival. It was a nightmare. Really fed up looking at wrongly labeled diagrams and equations filled with errors. I think, I must have been a nice student last time, because I checked my work at least five times before submitting to my supervisor. Why! What did I do to deserve these now!

Must scold the kids after CNY.

In the end, I ended up making the amendments for the students. In a way, I felt that the competition has lost its essence of cultivating future researchers. Now, it is a competition of how creative teachers are, and how much time we want to invest in proof-reading and correcting students' reports. And I mean large scale revamping of the report.

Whatever. Of course, there's work review. I declared I'll only take six project groups and nothing more. Six groups is more than enough to kill me.

Anyway, it's finally CNY. Long break. Finally some time to rest. After I've completed the four piles of marking... Seriously, this is nothing compared to what I had went through last year.

Gonna clean my room. Yes, I must. There's not much rubbish to throw, because I hadn't the time to create any rubbish in my room in the first place. So I'll just make sure the tables are sparkling clean.  Yes, and clear my school mail inbox. It is flooded.
