The Tale of Two Printers
As some of you might know, I have currently two printers. Both which drives me crazy (maybe not that much w/o the existance of Mr. HP).
Problem 1: Printer HP's language turns out to be Chinese instead of ENGRISH.
I don't mind Chinese characters but I mind them a lot on the computer, since I am so used to the English interface. I will have a hard time interpreting what shit they are talking in Chinese.
I have no idea why it turns out to be Chinese anyway. Some of the software I installed are like that, but some are very nice for they come with this 'Select Language' feature, so not much of a problem.
And never mind the Chinese characters, sometimes my computer couldn't understand the words and give me things like '??? ??????? ? ???'. YES, the question marks. To add on to my already questionmark-filled brain.
Problem 2: Printer HP will not scan.
For god knows reason, this printer will not scan. And I dunno the reason cos as mentioned before, the error message was in question marks and I don't understand that kind of alien language. (Which is why I have to bring in my old Epson printer for scanning jobs instead.)
Problem 3: Printer HP is the one doing the printing when I assigned Epson to do it.
I think it's got to do with the default printer setting, but when I set Epson to be the default but wanted HP to do the printing (don't ask me why, I have my own reasons), Epson will do it instead. And even more strangely, though the print menu says this printer will be printing this document, sometimes it will end up the other printer doing the job instead. This is more for printing document from the net.
Like lucky draw huh? You never know where it will comes out.
After all these fiasco I decided I shall switch back to [though reluctantly] Epson after HP has exhausted its ink supply. Somebody has somehow repair it for me and it seems to be working fine. But I'd prefer a Cannon next time (I never had a good time with Epson printers either; looks like I have no affinity with printers heh.)

Thursday
went on bag hunting with qing ai de hh. in the end we bought the same bag, but different colour at marina square. and she bought her tarot card. =) she damn excited about it. and she is going to cultivate some nice relationship with her card to make it more nice and powerful in future attempts of divination.
Friday
met up with hh again to discuss what to write for miss chua. spent the whole afternoon at the jurong east library to squeeze out what to write for her and put it in photoshop. though we didn't use much fancy features [only the text box, layers, brushes, etc], its my first ever creation from scratch in that sophisticated image editing software. i just hope miss chua wont faint from happiness when she receive our notes [along with others'].
Saturday
met the citizens of the C at JE's mrt station. before that met up with hh [yes, again] for lunch. what a feat, man, to meet 3 days in a row.the only other time we managed to do it was when we were in school.
over a dozen went: marvin, hassan, choo, kai ru, sherryn, atiqah, jonathan, derek, huiwen er zi, hh and i. siew ming and yu hui came later. after discussion some of them had their meal and we went for pool. hh pro lah, first time playing and she already got the professional style. and the boys coached us a bit in the technique instead of playing. so we were pretty much ok after some time, except our hits are pretty weak, with the exception of hh.
so that leaves the mask we are suppose to make to disguise ourselves on the day, and how to make miss chua stay put in school... i think hassan's already got some spies [i.e. juniors] checking out the target's plans. let's hope everything goes well. =]

A very touching story.
烛光晚餐。
桌两边，坐了男人和女人。
" 我喜欢你。"女人一边摆弄着手里的酒杯，一边淡淡的说着。
"我有老婆。"男人摸着自己的手上的戒指。
"我不在乎，我只想知道你的感觉。你，喜欢我吗？"
意料中的答案。男人抬起头，打量着对面的女人。
20岁，年轻，有朝气，相当不错的年纪。
白皙的皮肤，充满活力的身体，一双明亮的、会说话的眼睛。
真是不错的女人啊，可惜。
"如果你也喜欢我，我不介意作你的情人。"女人终于等不下去，追加了一句。
"我爱我妻子。"男人坚定的回答。
"你爱她？爱她什么？现在的她，应该已经年老色衰，见不得人了吧。否则，公司的晚宴，怎么从来不见你带她来 ……"
女人还想继续，可接触到男人冷冷的目光后，打消了念头。
沉默。
"你喜欢我什么？"男人开口了。
"成熟，稳重，动作举止很有男人味，懂得关心人，很多很多。反正，和我之前见过的人不同。你很特别。"
"你知道三年前的我，什么样子？" 男人点了根烟。
"不知道。我不在乎，即使你坐过牢。"
"三年前，我就是你现在眼里的那些普通男人。"
男人没理会女人，继续说。
"普通大学毕业，工作不顺心，整天喝酒，发脾气。对女孩子爱理不理，靠自慰来发泄自己的欲求不满。还因为去夜总会找小姐，被警察抓过。"
"那怎么？" 女人有了兴趣，想知道是什么让男人转变的。
"因为她？" "嗯。"
" 她那个人，好像总能很容易就看到事情的内在。教我很多东西，让我别太计较得失；别太在乎眼前的事；让我尽量待人和善。那时的我在她面前，就像少不更事的孩子。
也许那感觉，就和现在你对我的感觉差不多。那时真的很奇怪，倔脾气的我，只是听她的话。按照她说的，接受现实，知道自己没用，就努力工作。那年年底，工作上，稍微有了起色，我们结婚了。"
男人弹了弹烟灰，继续说着。
"那时，真是苦日子。两个人，一张床，家里的家具，也少的可怜。知道吗？结婚一年，我才给她买了第一颗钻戒，存了大半年的钱呢。当然，是背着她存的。若她知道了，是肯定不让的。"
" 那阵子，烟酒弄得身体不好。大冬天的，她每天晚上睡前还要给我熬汤喝。那味道，也只有她做得出。"
男人沉醉于那回忆里，忘记了时间，只是不停的讲述着往事。而女人，也丝毫没有打扰的意思，就静静地听着。
等男人注意到时间，已经晚上10 点了。
"啊，对不起，没注意时间，已经这么晚了。"男人歉意的笑了笑。
"现在，你可以理解吗？我不可能，也不会， 做对不起她的事。 "
"啊，知道了。输给这样子的人，心服口服。"女人无奈地摇了摇头。"不过我到了她的年纪，会更棒的。"
"嗯。那就可以找到更好的男人。不是吗？很晚了，我送你回去。"男人站起身，想送女人。
"不了，我自己回去可以了。"女人摆了摆手。
"回去吧，别让她等急了。"
男人会心的笑了笑，转身要走。
"她漂亮吗？"
"……嗯，很美。"
男人的身影消失在夜色中，留下女人，对着蜡烛。发呆。
男人回到家，推开门，径直走到卧室，打开了台灯。沿着床边，坐了下来。
"老婆，已经第四个了。干吗让我变成这么好，好多人喜欢我呀。搞不好，我会变心呀。干吗把我变成这么好，自己却先走了？我，我一个人，好孤单呀。"
男人哽咽的说着，终于泣不成声。
眼泪，一滴滴的从男人的脸颊流下，打在手心里的相框上。昏暗的灯光中，旧照片里，弥漫着的，是已逝女子，淡淡的温柔。

LINYUE'S stupid mistakes for not getting the correct answer for:
Profit & Loss statement:
- Added other operating revenue with operating expenses, resulting the former to be SUBSTRACTED from the gross profit instead of ADDING it.
Balance Sheet:
- Forgot to add the item [CLOSING] STOCK (AKA INVENTORY) to current assets.
- Did not substract accumulated depreciation costs for fixed assets to obtain net book value.
piss off.

I have a feeling something unusual is going on in my class. i dunno how to explain it.
today's lessons are really -.- WCD consist of only telling what you did in your project to the lecturer and itos is just throwing out what we have done, no much of speech is needed, actually. and fom the lecturer just spam us with what he call tips. -.- keep telling us what will happen and to do when we have to be absent for the exam.
the personal development program cost me a bomb. but they seem interesting enough and you get 2 cca points from each one you sign up. something to learn during the holidays, at least...
