When technology fails you...

Refer to the title of this post.

Mental, emotional meltdown. That is, when technology decides to fail you. Altogether.

Imma HUGE fan of all things tech-y. It's very intriguing and amazing, almost mind-blowing at the same time, when one takes a tour of all the new gadgets. Loooove, craving, addiction. (Oh golly. Control, Xiaoen.) DSLRs, Apple's new Magic Mouse (it is darn cool), laptops, photo printers, computers, phones.. ah.

It's a different story, however, when technology FAILS you. Trusty laptop crashed a while ago. Ok, fine. THEN, my dad's one crashed as well. And because my house does not believe in a desktop, we are currently living in a house with absolutely no computer or whatsoever. This handphone which yours truly is typing this post upon right now.. has been the only (super tiny) window to the cyber world. Speaking of the cyber world, I think it is too big for anyone's good, and many have already spiralled into it to a point of no return. The cyberworld will crash one day.

And everyone will lapse into huge fits and meltdowns. Imagine the sight. Scary.

So anyways, back to the story. After the demise of both laptops in the house.. my wonderful harddisk which tania cleverly found previously.. is spoilt. Haven't thought about thinking if it a)is really spoilt b)can be fixed c)can be salvaged. think a few thousand photos and documents.

Handphone is a bit wonky as well. Aah, my only window to the cyber world~

Ok actually i havent come to the zhong dian of the story yet. But anyways, the moral of the story (long story cut short) is that

1. Save your work periodically while doing. The stupid-ness of doing halfway and then something crashes/hangs/dies and-you-realise-that-all-your-effort-has-gone-down-the-drain is seriously darn stupid. Save your work, period.

2. Find out and KNOW the WEP key of your home's wireless network. Seriously dude.

3. Stay calm in the face of technical adversity. Humans triumph.

And the rest I forgot. Anyways, like the good ol' friendster status for relationships, "It's complicated." Complicated, it is. Golly, can you imagine how much more technology will continue to grow down the years? Scary. Exciting nonetheless!

We continue to hope fervently for homework-savvy robots. Let there be less machine guns, more nice happy funny huggable robots.

And may they never break down.

One NYPSL.

dear God, thank you for your endless grace and mercies. and for all the bible stories, which encompass every imaginable situation we go through in life; they bring lots of comfort, hope and cheer when things get really hard.

dear God, thank you for just being there and answering prayers. even though some prayers go unanswered, i know that Your timing is perfect. thanks for all the surprises and little bits of happy-ness you give.

dear Father, thank you for just being there; having You around is like snuggling up in a thick, warm Winnie the Pooh blanket, especially on a cold rainy day. :)

This entire week has been intense. Madness. The inner mugger in everyone unleashed like a crazy monster. Mad. And it's like when I think I'm studying dang hard, everyone else is studying even harder! Oh, boy.

The atmosphere in every single Sec4 class is 太恐怖了. It's this thick, dark, high-energy, fast-moving, silent cloud that floats across the classroom, except for recesses, when people loosen up a tad.. And then return quickly to our classrooms to continue studying again. Everyone's studying till we're turning green in our faces.

Madness. Ok bye, the reality of life beckons. Geography is waiting to be conquered. Xiaoen is pretty certain she will not finish studying in time for both Chem and Geog on friday. Crikey.

Go, fellow muggers of the world.

a million thoughts bubbling over.

Title says it. Am a tad confused now, really. :l

Roar, ('ve been roar-ing a lot lately) life's been pretty much study, sleep, slack, study, study, slack, slack, study, sleep. eat.

Kinda. But thank God for nice little highlights and suprises here and there, despite times when you feel like resigning and go, "Life sucks." And for weird, strange, happy, encouraging, caring people around who push you a little, love you a little, motivate you a little, and it's these little littles that make that one little step more possible. So thank you, God. And thank you, people who shower my life with littles. (:


75 for Math (I) and (II)? 'Ve got no clue. This feeling is but all too familiar. Who wants to fail anymore? Hate this apprehension. Bother. :( But.. there's no point in this gibber, so keep quiet, slash the worries, do your work and prove your worth. Easier said than done, but life's about trying, isnt it? So try it will be.

Will be moving to another blogsite when there' time. Privacy issues are a bother with blogger. - -" Livejournal? We'll see! Or maybe this whole blogging thing will end. - -" Oh yeah, sorry for the -______- posts lately. 'Ve been blogging from my handphone so no photos! Plus life's been -_____- too. But at least a -______- life in peace and health is better than one struck by the calamities of natural disasters and rife. We need to keep the victims of the recent spate of natural disasters in our prayer, and give thanks for our relatively peaceful lives.

Am out. Frenzy of papers coming. We will remain unfrenzied. Er is there such a word? Okay goodbye.

HAHAHA omg i just read smth! secret obsession. shhh. ;D

dreamt of farewell yesterday night. it was a bad dream - -" in the dream the juniors didnt fall in when the whistle was blown for roll call and everyone got scolded o: and then the whole concert was really short and everyone just went home normally when it ended. man.

am really looking forward to farewell! besides the fact that the sec1s keep saying "it's gonna be good... ;)" (oh dear), i'm super excited! almost feels like i could burst into little shiny round bits of excitement droplets. oh boy, what a description. :D

yanquan's latest post on graduating makes a lot of sense, we really need to make full use of all the time we've left. and er i really need to quit praising her blog so often - -" but for now, focus on final years first, sappy stuff for next time. yo, IH.

thank you, God for strength and stamina the past two days. (: in spite of a very sad zuo wen, which, can i not fail? :( but please give everyone energy to keep going and that no one will fall sick :D :D drink water and eat fruits, peeps 8)

happy mooncake day in advanced, yall!



hahaha omg really super excited. :D

ok byebye. xiaoen will pass IH! :D
