It's rained all day, showering, terribly as hell. You could never see such a pouring in Shanghai, at least I haven't seen yet. Only in this island, with such a fickle weather, the rain behaves violently different. Once it rains, the garden outside becomes boggy, puddle everywhere, and the path paved by bricks is almost half inundated. I have to pay double attention to those bricks when I walk on them, since one step I make wrong, the dirty wet mud will splash on my feet, or I may almost fall because it's very slippery. Actually I have to go to the kichen or the toilet through that stupid brick path when it rains, unless I have gumboot, then I could walk in the water. I dont care too much about raining, but I do hate raining like that.

I curse this weather.

I was praying it could stop for a while, just in the case that I was going to have a meeting with my group members to discuss the 10 mins presentation for tomorrow. The rain stopped on time, and I was not late. On the way to school, I saw the wired scene that might only you could see in New Zealand, there was great sunshine on the top of my head, and the sky which was not very far away from where I was walking was almost entirely obscured by dark cloud moving towards me. I bet I should run fast, or I got wet. I saw the rainbow in the distance.

Only Debra and Varonica turned up, well, actually we didn't expect our "group convenor", not indeed at all, to attend this meeting, since he didn't attend our meetings for several times. We complained in our report to the lecturer. I've had a few group works so far, and I have to say, I never meet such an irresponsible group leader or kiwi student so far! Anyway, three of us arranged the process of the presentation, and I'm going to cover half of the ppt. Gals are very democratic actually, they made agreement on the amount of work that I'm supposed to do. nnn...... I'm not very good at explanation, but I'm glad to do my work. I feel like working with them and discussing with them. They all International students, Debra is from China and Varonica is from Indonesia, I dont feel too much presure when talking with them in English. They both are good students, they give me good impression. I'm not talking their personal appearance here, but their personality, and at least they do their work seriously, I can trust.

I figured out another way to make myself feel a day longer then it actually is. I had dinner very earily today, which gave me more time between after dinner and before sleep. Though it didn't rain tonight, but it was still wet, especially the cement floor in the kitchen, I almost fell once. Not too many choices for my dinner, potato, carrot, and chicken nibbles. I bought 10KG potato pack, $4.89, much cheaper than those 3KG, $4 pack, but those potatoes just seem to be digged out from the field, wrapped by mud. Peering potatoes always takes much time, and the naked potatoes look so lovely in white.

I'm going to have my hair cut tomorrow morning, it's too long and messy. I'm missing my braid that I used to have once more
