Song: Lovers
by: 12012

I'm putting Lovers on repeat. Again. 12012 might not be the best JRock band around (or some might say it sucks) but i do love Wataru's vocals, especially those more sorrowful songs. He really brings out the emotion in them.
And not surprisingly, i love Lovers because it is emo enough for me to listen to.

Watched Dark Knight with Seri, Cavin and Shellen yesterday. And i love Joker. Not because Heath Ledger took the role but purely because Joker is a sadistic character. I love the part where he dressed as a nurse.
The only part that i liked about Bruce Wayne is the part where he rode the motorbike (the red bike, not the batman's super riddiculous looking bike). I was swooning over him riding the awesome bike.
Anyway, I would say Dark Knight is much better than Batman Begins because of the suspense and the plot. And of course, the Joker.

So i came back home after Dark Knight and things went down from there. Wasn't in the best of mood and cried. Cried before going to bed and i could feel my eyes swollen when i woke up today. I wasn't as upset as the night before when i reached school but was still feeling it. It didn't really helped that i walked into the wrong classroom on level 6.
Basically i was somewhat moody throughout the whole afternoon, even up till now (but better now). I guess i need time to think through and calm down. But i promise myself once i'm done thinking through, i'll put the whole matter behind me, never to bring it up in the future.

Got approached by a delivery man while walking to IT school today. He wanted to get to Cheers but he couldn't find his way, so i hopped into the truck and directed him.
After that, he gave me a bottle of preserved lemon peels to show his gratitude =D

Andd eating that preserved fruit made me hungry x_x

Song: Kaze
by: Kagrra,

Actually wanted to make a new skin for this blog. But i ended up doing a new wallpaper.



Can you feel the angst and emo-ness? Ruki is awesome.
Thanks to Re for the photoshop pointers <3

Oh on another note, ever since i got my laptop back, i think the volume is screwed up. It sounds softer than before i sent it for repairs =\
Ahh and i think i've fallen for another band: Nega. *Need to find more of their songs*

Song: Aristocrat's Symphony
by: Versailles

I tire easily this weekend. I've been taking naps for these past 2 days for 2 hours + and still able to sleep quickly and soundly at night. I've turn into a sleep monster! *gasps*

I think i've been thinking too much about stuffs. My life. People around me.
I didn't believe how thinking too much can affect someone's health but now i do. It's like suddenly everything that you do stays in your mind and you can't just stop thinking about. I want to shut it off but the more i try the more it stays and i'll try to shut it off but..well the cycle continues.

I don't have a life. Just a little mere few months ago, my ideal type of weekend is to just stay and rot at home. I still do now, but i think my idea of "staying and rot at home" involves a great deal of using the laptop and to be honest, i NEED to get off my laptop. I've been staring at my laptop from 11-6.30 when i'm at school, go home rest a lilttle while and stare at my laptop again. All the way to maybe a little after 12? This has been going on for the past 3 weeks!

Sighs. I need to get off the internet and laptop but i can't and don't want to. Hehehe.
See? I'm ironic! The internet haz eaten my soul. Don't ask me why.


/Edit: i got doa's newest single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D I love their music <3

9:58 PM


Anddd i've removed the song from the header. I like it looking empty and white like that now xD

So what's new?
Nothing's new. Oh! My laptop is finally back! They changed the screen for me, so now i got a spiffy, brand new screen! It feels like a new laptop to me xD
Well my dad doesn't want me to buy a new laptop since now this current is working fine, he reasoned.
Pfft. I was thinking of having 2 laptops. This will be my travelling laptop and the new one would be my stay-at-home-gaming laptop, considering my current one is not game-friendly.
When i say not game-friendly, it doesn't mean it hangs when i try to run games. The graphic card is a shitty integrated graphic card and it gets hot and untouchable when i try to play games.
I can't say i regretted buying this Acer TravelMate because it was the only portable laptop that was on the school's PC Roadshow that time. Till now, there are people still who tell me my laptop looks cute :D

I don't know....i want to buy a new laptop but at the same time i think i can save that $1000+ money to good use. So right now i'm really torn.

Song: Ready Steady Go
by: L'Arc~en~Ciel

I surprised myself today by making myself a cup of green tea after dinner. I'm usually not a lover of tea (any kind at all), so i didn't know why i got the sudden urge to drink green tea. I'm rather ironic at times. I do things that i don't like.
Take last week for example, when we were down at the company for some briefing; I don't drink coffee (minus the latte/cappuccino, but i seldom drink them either.) but i had this urge to try it and i ended up drinking 1 1/2 cup of it.
Ok i admit. Part of the reason that i don't drink coffee is they make your teeth yellow. Well, mine is not sparkly white or even white, but i don't want to make them anymore yellow x___x

Anyway, i digress.
I was talking about green tea after dinner. I made myself green tea. Settled back into my room and drink some. It was so comfortable that i began to lie down on the floor. Probably it was the rain. Or maybe it was the tea, but i felt so calm and content and wished time would stop then.

Ima going to love [hot] green tea from now on. <3

I think the stress of not having my laptop here with me, has finally hit me.

Grr. I'm so sad right now. I don't know why. Maybe it's the stress, or it could be me feeling tired and reading stuffs in this pitch-black room.

Ouch, my eyes are hurting as i look at the screen. It's too bright.
I miss my laptop because without it, i can't move out of the room to do work. I hate that.

Oh well. Sighs.

For some reason i woke up feeling irritated. It could be that i was having a dream and then i was rudely awaken by the phone ringing.

Then later the laptop which i borrowed from my aunt decided that it don't like me and then refused to let me type anything on it. I got even more angry because i wanted to do my work and i don't want to use my desktop. I don't really like my desktop (which i don't know why) and besides my sis was playing Holic when i asked her for it. And i don't like to interrupt people playing their games.

There's this major flaw in me - and that is my temper.
I do think it has improved a little over the years but there's more room for improvement. I do raise my voice slightly but i'll stop to think if i have the urge to thrash things around or slam doors.

Tsk. Why am i blogging things like this?

I guess i need some place to vent my frustrations. This is a good way to vent because while typing i'm able to sort out my thinkings. See at the end of this blog, i don't feel as angry as i started out. That's a good thing.
To be honest there's still a tiny weeny bit of anger inside me, but that's another thing else altogether, something i can't really control and if i can't take it, i would be signing out of MSN and any places that people can see me online.

Phew.
终于松了一口气。。。。。

TP library computers are for playing games, not doing work.

Anyway we were at the library looking through online references for our research when suddenly, they decided it would be nice to play those national day songs. At first i was quite pissed because it was loud. Then i found it amusing because there was a opera-like song that we never heard before and then me and Seri started making fun of the song by trying to sing along in those riddiculous high-pitched voice.

Cavin: Haiya, i got enough of these songs at home.
Seri: (laughing) Why didn't we hear this song before?
Me: (laughing also) Maybe this song can't make it?

Hahaha then we went on to say what would happen if that song were to be played on the parade itself. Conclusion: People would be falling asleep with their mouths wide open.

Today was just crazy. Cavin had this urge to buy chocolate ever since we were eating lunch. So after our research we all went bookshop to look for his "desired" chocolate since he complained Flavours didn't have the type he wanted.
And then for some reason, i got high and started singing the Cadbury song all through the way. Just like a broken tape recorder. Hahaha.
Well the reason i did that was to irritate Cavin. And prolly Seri too i don't know but it felt soooooo good to be singing the Cadbury song over and over again.

Song: Koko ni iru yo
by: Soulja featuring Aoyama Thelma

I think i won't be blogging so often for now because my laptop screen decided to be a bitch and died on me. So now i'm using the desktop, which is not really mine and it sucks because most of the things in here are not mine and i fear plugging my external HDD into this desktop because i suspected there might be some virus.
The desktop isn't in a very great shape either. The CMOS (or is it BIOS or are they both the same? I can't remember because i return all the CMSY knowledge back to the lecturers) detected some error but Cavin said as long as it's running fine, we shouldn't be too worried.

Honestly i wanted to have a brand new desktop for sis because i hate the fact that we can't do anything (even reformatting) if there are really virus. We dont have the Windows CD. I know mum and dad are not going to agree on buying a new one because it is still working perfectly fine. We need new scanner too because we lost the CD.

The good news is that i probably won't have to change to a new laptop for a few more months because I called Acer and i'm still under warranty to change the screen.
Speaking of Acer, i've been waiting for the courier pick-up service since forever and i rushed back home all the way from Bugis just so that i can hand my precious over to them. Look at the freaking time now. It's 5.53 pm and they are not here yet. I've got a big feeling that they are not going to come today.
What a waste of my time. Well not really, at least i manage to come back to do some chatting =D

Hmm, i've not type on this keyboard for a long time and blogging using the keyboard certainly makes me feel better and happy.

Sorry for the long post.

Song: party Monster
by: Moran

So i woke up today with a flu. It wasn't that bad when i woke up but it became full-blown once after i reached school.
By the end of the day, i was totally drained. It didn't really help that it was raining heavily when i left the school. Oh well...

So i came back home, took a nap and wake up to find my flu gone. Thank goodness =)

The week has been pretty ok so far.

Song: Shinkirou
by: Loveholic

So it is interesting to know what different words mean one thing in one country and completely another in another country.

For example if you call a random lady walking on streets here as Xiao Jie (小姐), it is a polite way of addressing her. But take it to China and the ladies will think you are insulting them because that means she is a prostitute.

So quite sometime ago (i think one or 2 years) i was riding on the train, there was this little girl from China, she wanted to ask me for directions and for a while i noticed she was staring at me and since i didn't know what she wanted, i ignore her. Then after sometime (still looking at me), she decided to that she was brave enough and she said: "Auntie..."

Lol i was still young ok (and i'm still young now!)? Around the age of 17? And there's this one little girl calling me auntie. I think she knew it would be weird that was why she was staring at me, trying to think of ways not to make the whole situation awkward.
Oh well.

Another word is "Spaz". It is interesting to note that Spaz is completely acceptable in the US but not in the UK because it is sort of a derogatory term for people afflicted with spastic paralysis.
So the bottom line? Try not to use slangs in places where you are not familiar with or you will land into hot soup.


Ok this is the end of my lame-ass post.

A new laptop will be uber nice =)
Not that my laptop is close to breaking down or anything (choy! *touch wood*), but i'm attracted to the idea of having a brand new laptop with a larger disk space and a built-in webcam.

Money money, why are you sooooooo hard to earn? Can't you just drop down from the sky so that we can all buy our desired items easily?

I'm bored. Keh.
And the school's wireless sucks.
Ga! I lost the connection! Stupid wireless!

Ok it's back.
So it's kind of a routine now. At least for this week. Go school, read. Break. Then more break. Then read a little. Then break again then read a little. Hahaha.

I lost the connection again!!!
Ok, this entry is pointless because my brain is blank now. Shall post it after i regain the internet connection.

Song: Birthday
by: Jully

I haven't touch my guitar in the longest time and i'm feeling really guilty about it. Not that i have the skill to play but just strumming it makes me happy.

Internship starts tomorrow! I have no idea what to expect from the first day since we are meeting our 'bosses'. I'm quite nervous about it.
Gahh i can see it will be a relative draggy lifestyle for the next 5 months.
Go school. Read. And read and read. And more reading. Gosh!

by: Vidoll

Pre-SIP in-house training this week. I think it's pretty much a waste of time.
And the week just have to end with NAPFA test.
I think it's quite stupid to have a ONE time training a day before the NAPFA so i skipped that training on Wednesday and instead, went for my very own training with Seri on Thursday morning @ Bedok Reservoir. And i'm proud to say that we did around the WHOLE of the freaking reservoir which is about 4.5 km long!

So the NAPFA test today was...ok i guess. Since i don't have that "i must pass NAPFA" mindset so i was actually having "fun" throughout. The 2.4km run was relaxing because i did brisk walking for most of the part. Hahahaha.
Oh yea i manage to maintain my 31 sit-ups in one minute after not doing any situps for the past 3 years ^_^

So now i'm feeling damn tired now and will have absolutely no problems sleeping soundly tonight =D

Internship starts next week. Good luck to everyone!
