Thursday, August 26, 2004 good book and computer screwing up



ting:
arrrggghhh!! what's wrong with the tagboard?? anyway, hui...what were you thinking?? there are NO cute guys (needless to say...there are no hot guys either) in nus, irregardless of what adel says. NONE.
my laptop is screwing up on me. each time i switch it on, it says it has encountered a serious error and when i click on the don't send button, it will automatically restart! and when i click on the send error report button, it doesn't do anything and the window will just pop up again. what the hell?? i need help...anyone??
just finished reading this very very good book (it's part of my mno readings but that's not the point). it's really really good! i recommend it highly. it's called Zapp! The Lightning of Empowerment. go read it! i'm serious! or borrow it from me.
ok...back to work!!

woot, its nice to hear that Ting is not so friendless liao. i hope to see cute guys when i visit u in NUS the next time k? and btw, ur thumbdrive is still with me. -.-

i'm not in e lab. so sian. everyone had gone out for lunch and there are onli 2 ppl including me in e lab. had my breakfast at 10.30am so i'm not hungry yet. have been having my meals at weird hour these few days. i eat breakfast at 10am, lunch at 3pm and dinner at 6pm or 9pm. then sometimes lazy to cook noodles at 11pm so went to bed with an empty stomach. hai.. one good thing is i sleep quite early, at around 10+ to 11pm (hoi, i noe wad u guys are gonig to say, but this time is considered early for me.. i'm a nocturnal creature remember? :p)

hai, qian and wish still have reconcile. zhi, jol and me tio stuck. quoting from gary's nick "when u got e mind of e man in e middle, life's a big fat riddle" i guess it is, maybe... but can learn lots of things wor. hehe.. nvm abt them la. put them aside first. let me think of a solution...

woot, i love my monitor screen in e lab. it's 15" LCD! it's soooo much better than my small pathetic 14" CRT monitor. somemore so dim. anyone wanna spon me an LCD monitor? as long as it's LCD, 12" also nvm.. :P

ehh, suddenly remember a thing. i haven buy siowshan's birthday present. her bdae was on e 17th of august. i onli sms her happy birthday. :x but sigh, now she got marcus liao no need us le. really dunno where she died to, haven heard from her for a very long time. sometimes send her forward msg or sms her no reply de. then she also nv come find me. hai, she's hopeless. hope she is happy and marcus is treating her well...

ok, so much for now, as i have nothing to say anymore. so sian!!! byebye guys, i go continue sian..

Wednesday, August 25, 2004 better day



ting:
i'm so sorry we had to ditch the comments section because this blogskin doesn't allow for it but hey! we have a tagboard! tag us! i want to know who is reading our blog. =) hmmm...i keep saying "we" but actually, i didn't contribute at all, apart from choosing the blogskin. heh...so let's give a standing ovation to my best friend for making this possible!!
today has been a far far better day than the past few days. except that i didn't do any work and am feeling incredibly guilty. urgh...will just die of work overdose tomorrow. met my language tutorial group for the first time and the people actually seem friendlier! but damn...most of them aren't in business. sigh... don't think i gave them a good first impression though because i was trying to lead our group discussion. but hey, it wasn't by choice! they were just sitting there saying nothing! and then, i had to volunteer to present because nobody wanted to do it. so everyone must be thinking that i'm one of those who adores being in the limelight. i don't! sigh...
went for my bible study group meeting. it was great! the people are really cool. shall definitely go for the worship session tomorrow. meet new people. get more friends. sounds nice...
gonna have a fire drill later. hope they don't sound the alarm when i'm in the shower or something. that will be a total disaster. then again, i'm the one with the firemen access in my room!!! they should all just come visit me or something.
amazing race tonight! yay!! who will be eliminated(gosh, i sound like phil)??

Tuesday, August 24, 2004 opps..



opps.. i forgot to post an entry yesterday. lucky din get screwed by Ting. (Opps, she's reading!!) haha :P i realised something today. actually, my course is not that difficult at afterall. so that Ng Zi Hao is not that great afterall.. and to think i thought he's genius. actually so-so onli lor. :x *bleh* and actually i quite like (and sometimes quite good at) programming and flash. LOL.. din realise it until i tried it out ON MY OWN during my attachment in PowerGas and flash animation now, my FYP (Final Year Project). better to be late than never right? but wad to do? my grades are very average. anyway i hope tasks given to me are those i noe how to do..

received an email from Sharon, my pri sch friend and suddenly got reminded of the 4 forever friends bears on my table (eh, 1 was from someone else. Ting u noe who de la~). haha.. they are like so hidden. i took a look at them, and then looked at the 2 neopets next to them. hmm.. actually he didn't treat me that bad? i mean.. he was at least nice to me. and then, suddenly tot of how come he changed so much. haha ok la, dun tok abt him le. jus a tot that came into my mind for that split second.

ok, then jus now saw my guitar and was reminded that it felt so loney. so i played for a while. liew, i forgot almost all of it liao. and fingers hurt a little when i tried to press the strings. really too long no play le, somemore nv cut nails, so there were lots of buzzing sound. sigh... but i still remember how to play that A1 - One More Try. i wanna try Qing Tian, but i onli noe the starting. haha, taught by... CH. i think i lost e paper liao. a bit regretted y i din continue to stay. but idiot, those seniors nv help me. nvm~ when i go time i go refresh~ :P

grumpish and college-friends-sick!



ting:
so the prices of eggs have gone up. no surprise...that's what always happens. no biggie...live without eggs for a while!
i can't believe i'm about to say this but...yeah...i miss ny. a lot too. i miss the people i usually hang out with. i miss all the gossips we were so fond of having. i miss knowing the same people my friends know. i miss looking into the crowd and yelling, "loverboy!" or "monkey!" or "seng tat!" or whoever. i miss seeing seng tat run when he thought i was madly in love with him(no thanks to my friends). i miss playing bingo and hangman in lectures. i miss groaning about the fact that time is moving backwards in mr ng's lectures. basically, i miss hanging out with the bunch of superb people i call my college friends (now now...don't get all cocky!!!).
yeah. i can't get that again here in nus. all i'm doing now is looking forward to graduation day whereby i can get out. and graduation is 2 years 10 months away. damn. i can't even think of doing honours though it will guarantee me a higher pay because i just can't wait to get out!!! anyone out there sharing the same sentiments?
nus bus drivers are not only very fond of making people's rides seem like that of a rollercoaster's, they are also very horn-happy. then again, most singaporeans are horn-happy. the driver of the bus i was on was leaning on the horn the whole time. had a splitting headache by the time i got off.
residence's tea later. what are the chances of me making friends?

Monday, August 23, 2004 my terrifying encounter



ting:
so it's me again. two entries in a day! woah... i forgot all about my terrifying encounter last night. gosh. was telling my friend about it and we started trading stories on impatient drivers and rude people. ok...here goes... *takes a deep breath*
it was getting pretty late last night, around 9 plus and at the last possible minute, i realised i had ran out of groceries. so i managed to persuade my dad to drive me out to ntuc to grab some bread and stuff. as it was pretty late and ntuc was closing in a couple of minutes, we didn't want to park really far and the only available space was in front of this huge drop dead gorgeous house. i know it's not very nice to block someone's driveway and we were at fault here but hey...we won't take hours! plus the fact that there was no one at home-all the lights were out and there wasn't any car in the driveway.
so ok, we did all we had to do and when we came out with all the gorceries and starting walking towards the car, this indian guy came out from the shadows and started yelling at us. his first words were something like, "bastards! do you know how rude it is to just park your car in front of someone's house? are you blind? didn't you see the double yellow lines?" and all sorts of vulgarities started spewing out from his mouth. now...i gotta make this clear. my dad is an awesome guy but he doesn't appreciate it when someone yells at him, especially in such a manner. he is also stubborn and has a temper so when i sized up the situation, i knew immediately i had to intervene before it got bad. i threw all the gorceries into the backseat (yeah...i mean threw as in literally...thank God there was no eggs) and wedged myself between my dad and the indian guy. i told the guy, "i'm sorry for the inconvenience we caused you, we will keep that in mind and not do it next time." anybody would just back off and calm down after this, especially seeing that i apologised. but that guy just ignored me. he kept walking towards my dad in a very threatening manner and i was terrified he would hit him.
my dad of course was not one to be shouted at (who would?). he yelled back and said something along the lines of "we weren't blocking you for that long and there was no other place to park" blah blah blah. and the indian guy got even more furious. he started shouting (and i really meant shouting...).
you could imagine how terrified i was. i don't know how to put across the seriousness of the situation, that if i wasn't there, there would certainly have been a fight. i spent the whole time holding on to my dad's wrists to prevent him from getting physical and i was apologising all the time. i kept saying..."i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry" but the indian guy was ignoring me!! what the hell...
all this time, i kept myself firmly in-between them. i don't think he would have the guts to hit me. if he did, he would be in a lot of trouble with the law. so there the three of us were, two people yelling and one person apologising and being ignored. it seems pretty comical now but i wasn't laughing at that point of time. in the end, i was sick and tired of being ignored so i yelled "i'm sorry!". the indian guy then turned on me and shouted at me to stop yelling at him. oh crap. i mean...heeellloooo??? i'm trying to apologise here! isn't that what you want?
in the end, i managed to get my dad to back off and he told me to get back into the car so we could drive off. the indian guy said, "what is this? what do you mean by this? are you threatening me?" who the hell is threatening him!!!??????
we did manage to get safely back into the car and when my dad threw the car into gear, he yelled at the man, "fuck you!"
gosh. i was shaking all the way home. after sorting out the gorceries, i was trying to keep the plastic bags and my hands were shaking. i really mean shaking. they were shaking so badly i couldn't even do something as simple as folding them and putting them away. oh man...
i can't believe i was almost involved in a fight. it's a miracle i didn't have any nightmares last night. phew...but i couldn't get to sleep. i was tossing and turning till 3 plus am. so had about 4 hours of sleep in all. sigh... seem to be bumping into all sorts of weird and horrible people nowadys. i'm losing my faith in mankind.

sighz...



ting:
today was a very disappointing day. i had my first glimpse of my tutorial classes and oh boy...i think i'm gonna be friendless for a very long time to come. my mno tutorial class was bad...all the people look unfriendly!! and there were a lot of foreigners (and i don't mean caucasians when i say foreigners because...well...there was none! *sobs*). mostly from china. the guys in my class belong to two groups...one is the geeky, nerdy seng tat group. the other is the "want to be ah-beng but cannot make it" group. so ya... sighs...
had to get into groups for a project (yes!! already!! can you imagine that?? and it's the first tutorial too!!) and that was a traumatic experience. i got 2 guys (both belonging to the nerdy group) and both are foreigners. one is from china (heaves even greater sigh) and the other from vietnam. so we were supposed to discuss the project and all and the china guy immediately said, "i'm studying for my phd now and i'll be very busy with work. so do you mind doing most of the stuff?" i gave him a very blank look. i mean..hello?? we have not even started and he is trying to push all the work to us already?? nice isn't it? bleh.
financial accounting lecture was boring. very very boring. i can't imagine making accounting part of my career.
went for programming tutorial after that and realised the cute guy from my lecture isn't in my group. so..i was, in a word, disappointed. but then, i learnt much much more in that half-an-hour tutorial than the two hours spent in lecture so am glad i don't have any distractions.
went for programming lecture after that. (my day is pretty packed isn't it?) was actually sitting quite far off from the cute guy and from where i was sitting, he looked really really cute and boyish. so during break, i shifted my sitting postion to the row directly behind him (a couple of my friends were sitting there) and up close, i suffered another major disappointment. he is not cute at all close up!!!! it was really anti-climax.
so. now i have nothing to look forward to. *sobs* uni life is gonna be seriously depressing. and adel wants to introduce me to this horrible china guy (so we can gossip about him) tomorrow. *grumbles* only plus point is he is bloody rich.
other than what a disaster today was, i'm drowning in work. i seriously seriously am.

first entry!!



ting:
hello!! thanks hui for creating this blog. haha...nope i simply refuse to delete it. =p anyway, something really terrifying happened to me just now. i still shake when i think of it. it was really really terrifying. i'm not up to telling anyone what happened just yet. maybe tomorrow when i'm feeling braver and better. in case any of you are wondering...no i did not encounter a ghost. but it will still give me nightmares for a month.
am frantically trying to print my lecture notes for tomorrow now. can never seem to finish printing. am feeling incredibly guilty when i think of all the trees i'm killing.
ok ok...i gotta go. first entry shall be short and sweet. and oh...please pray that the cute guy will be in my tutorial class!!
