The last day of 2008

Today's the last day of 2008. I wonder if there will be more posts on this day as people around the world reflect back on the year that's gonna go by in a few hours. Here I am enjoying ice cream and thinking if I should be making a list of what I did in 2008.

It would really take a long time for me to think properly of what I've did in the past year; or actually go through my past blog posts for events that I actually posted. Sometimes, or most of the time I don't write posts of important stuff at all.

So I think that for me, it doesn't matter what I did for the past year. What matters is the year that lies ahead. I'm determined to make the coming year better than this year. Hopefully I'll remember all the time to give my best in everything I do and not do anything half-assedly.



And....am I finally gonna do it? I don't know if I want to move my blog to livejournal. Or, more accurately, actively use the livejournal blog I have right now and distribute the link, and abandon this one. But there are many memorable posts here, and I need to move them over to livejournal. A lot of work. So I am in a dilemma. Lame dilemma, you might think. But I don't want to be editing html or CSS codes for a nice layout at blogspot! I'm lazy~~ and livejournal has hundreds of pretty layouts available.

And of course, livejournal's option of restricting readers to certain posts also come in handy. Then I won't have to worry about writing more personal posts.

What should I do? Some feedback please~


I'll end this post by wishing everyone a very happy new year! And have a successful and great year ahead!

No name post

I feel unlucky lately. My computer is off to the doctor's tomorrow. Yea, I haven't used it for even half a year! There must be a problem with the power supply cos it shuts down after a while and I can't get it to switch on again although I pressed the button. But there's power to the USB and the LED buttons =.=

Haih. I want to dye my hair but I'm broke.

Aiba-chan, happy birthday!!!!


I thought I'd do a picspam for Aiba-chan's birthday, my internet's too slow for uploading. =(
Anyways, happy 26th birthday!

They have Hanadan!

Look what I found while leafing through the MAS airlines in-flight entertainment catalogue!



I'd take snapshots of anything that has Arashi in it.

*****

Ryusei no Kizuna had just finished airing yesterday at 11pm Japan time. The drama is over!!! But I am still behind by 3 episodes. I need to catch up on them; but I can't download because my stupid internet is too slow to do anything at all. Darnit. =.=

Okok I am getting back to my fic now, Yvonne. ^^

30% off

I went to Kinokuniya at Suria KLCC during my shopping trip there. I thought I'd sneakishly go in there and take pictures of the Japanese magazines and photobooks which I can't very much afford to buy (meaning Arashi).

There were rows and rows of books everywhere; it's larger than a library. So huge it needs a store map to show you the sections. Rows and rows of books on shelves as high as the walls themselves. And of course Kinokuniya has a whole huge section dedicated to Japanese books. Being cowardly as I am, I didn't dare to take pictures since there were store workers everywhere. So I handed my brother the digicam and ask him to do the job instead.

We loitered around the magazine and photobook section trying to find Arashi items. Yes my brother likes Arashi too, thanks to my influence =D. He was the one who sneakishly took these photos. And he didn't change the camera mode, that's why it was too bright. =.= The flash was reflected by the plastic wrap.


You could not possibly imagine my happy feeling of holding the real items in your hands. The 'hon-mono desu!' kinda feeling. The pictures in the photobooks I've seen before, scanned by fans; but the real books themselves are even better! Cause they're 3D~ I've had the image in my head that Johnny's photobooks are larger but they're actually smaller than A4 size, most of them. Especially the unofficial ones.

So I went around flailing and feeling excited right? And then I spotted this corner beside the alley that has all the Arashi photobooks stacked in rows. The Arashi Around Asia photobook, Pikanchi Double AtoZ photobook, Pikanchi photobook, Otakara unofficial photobooks (Nino and Ohno only), and Arashi is Alive! photobook.

Arashi is Alive! was the without CD version RM120+ (?) with 20% off. And AAA, Pikanchi double and Pikanchi were no more than RM101 bucks each. They're sold at normal price; and AAA has 30% off! Otakara was less than RM60 with 20% off. 'Items entitled for discounts with purchase of another item in the same receipt bought on the same day' it says.

Even without discounts they were already cheaper than usual internet online stores!

Kinokuniya has a discount, so of course I'd HAVE TO buy something!! Like I'd ever get a chance like this ever again. My present to myself! It's so hard to choose just one thing! I consulted Yvonne but she didn't know what to pick too. She said either AAA or Pikanchi double. But in the end I chose AAA photobook cause the pictures are clearer, and every member in Arashi looked very handsome in it (although yes they look handsome all the time) and they were themselves (not their movie characters like the Pikanchi photobooks) and it's official.

Customers are allowed to have a look at the contents inside the books if we bring it to the counter and ask a salesperson to unwrap it for us. So I did, and I was able to look at the pictures in the Arashi photobooks I've never seen before. =D

It says another item in same receipt for discount right? So I ask the person at the counter...

Me: It's entitled for 30% discount with a-no-ther item in the same receipt on the same day right? *making sure I emphasize 'another item' *
Counter-person: Yes.
Me:
Another item right? Any item?? *still making sure*
Counter-person: Any item, even if it's a small pen from the stationery section. *smiling at my stupidity*
Me: Owh, okay. Thanks! *couldn't hide my excitement*


At that time my brother who was beside me already ran over to the stationery section that's at the other end of the store to find a pen. And he ran back a while later with a blue pen that costs RM0.90 XD He said it's the cheapest thing he could find. My brother is so smart. =D

I took a picture of the photobook when I reached home yesterday.


At RM70, this is a steal!!!!! I love discounts. And I love Kinokuniya for giving discounts on Arashi items.

I am so happpppppyyyyyyyyyy~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!

When I buy things in secret when I go out shopping, I always get caught. Why am I so unlucky! Last time it happened with my CDs (20% off the normal price ok)! This time is not an exception. While I was admiring the photobook in my room my mum walked in on me!

Darnit I forgot to lock the door. Too late to hide it cos I was holding it in my hands.

So I said I helped Yvonne to buy it. Cause I couldn't lie about the price, she'd know it! I know it's wrong to lie but I don't wanna face the nagging!! @@ Sorry.

Bon voyage!

The best friend came, and left today.

Bon voyage Stephanie! These few days had been fun. It's been a long time since I've gone out for a whole day shopping and came back so tired. Tired but happy. Feel free to bug me any time; cause I love being bugged by people I like.

Come and visit me again next year!!!!!!!!!!!! Or anytime soon would be the best. As long as I am not having exams.

Last nite

Last night was a gathering among my uni friends. Event? Lecturer's farewell and also friend's birthday party. Had a blast. Pretty much we learnt that if we wanna celebrate a birthday, we have to prepare two cakes - one to eat and one cake without the cake (only icing) so that we have enough to smear on each other's faces.

Happy Birthday Annie! The last of us to turn 20 this year. =D

It so happened that I was asked to come along for a movie. 'Quarantine'. 'So happened' meaning it wasn't part of my plan. It was a late movie, 11pm. And it was a scary movie. I didn't know it was gonna be a scary movie. To me, 'Quarantine' sounded like a suspense thriller. I'm glad I closed my eyes at the scary parts because at least I didn't have more scary images to remember....

Thanks guys for the nice(?) movie! (They laughed at the scary parts. Are they even human?)

Don't watch that movie if u hate grotesque scenes, people. Like seriously.

Went home at 12 something am. It was drizzling, cold but I had to take a shower and wash my hair cause it smelled like icing.

And after that I had to finish up a report to hand in today at 10am. I stayed up late. I can't believe I had to stay up late even though my exams are over! Today also, I had to wake up early to hand in the report. So seriously now, I'm tired.

But all I need is chocolate and eye drops then I'm ready to go.

Cause tonight Stephanie is sleeping over! She came from Bintulu on a holiday I think. So later we're gonna eat dinner and also catch up on what is up, I don't even know where to start.

It's good that she visit after my exams, and she is visiting me =D I don't need to do the visiting~

Can't wait to meet up!

Final exam over!!!!

Yay!!!! Final exam is over! It's the longest span of final exam I've had till now, even my mum says so. I don't really think I did well in them this time, but I'll try not to think about it now.

I have so many things to do! I am waaaaaay behind in my Ryusei no Kizuna drama watching, it's a month till it ends! SO fast! Waaay behind by 2/3 episodes - which was it? Definitely must download and watch it as soon as possible (as I am typing this).

My download quota's reset again this month, since it's the 3rd. So I better make good use of it. By downloading what I couldn't download in uni using home internet and normal surfing at uni.

And I sure need to change my blog layout! And...and..and..
I need a list.

Well, see you in the next post! I'll go have the fun which I'm deprived of for a long time.

Ah~~~ I forgot I have a report to pass up this Friday. Gah, it can wait till later.

Wish me all the luck please cause I really need it...

saiyaku desu~~~~I'm sorry

I haven't ranted about it, which could be why I keep having this heavy feeling inside myself.

It could be my fault for downloading almost 15 gb of media in the span of less than one week, that got my major Arashi download site blocked by the SwinB IT department. I'm really sorry, Yvonne. Sorry I got carried away just cause the speed was extremely good that I went crazy with the download manager. Now, your only resource for downloading Arashi media is gone...

Demo ne? I wonder if it really is my fault. That's pretty awesome, if the site could get blocked just cause of me alone downloading from that site. 'cos I do know some people who download from mediafire~~~~(this makes me seem like avoiding the blame. But what I mean is the mere action of me downloading can get a site banned - sugokunai?)

Haih. If it wasn't for my stupid internet being so slow at home, I wouldn't download that much using the uni internet. My home net speed has been so slow you wouldn't even believe it. Just makes you wanna close the browser, plug out the wireless modem, and catapult it out of the window onto my neighbours' house / flush it down the toilet / smash it into pieces / throw it at the face of whoever works at celcom / whatever to get rid of it. It's so damn freakin slow it takes forever to load a webpage. And you know how webpages nowadays are graphic heavy.....

It's slower than dialup, damnit! Someone should lodge a complaint against celcom!

I understand throttling. I understand the fair usage policy, what that is for. I am not exactly against it. It makes things.........fair. Sort of.

But what I don't understand is the 5gb data limit. Why 5gb? ANYone could easily use 5gb in less than a month's time. A 5gb data limit is totally illogical. Since webpages are graphics heavy. Since we have youtube. Forget anything 'streaming' if you wanna keep within your 5gb data limit in a month. Why not 30gb? Okay, if stingy, then make it 15gb. I could with my very best keep within 15gb per month. But 5gb - definitely cannot. Unless all I do on the web is check my mail.

Why don't we all go back to being cavemen and cavewomen instead. Don't need to have anything to do with technology anymore.

Once the 5gb data limit is reached, the line is throttled to 30kbps. You can't do anything with 30kbps! Nothing at all. Again, websites - graphics heavy. Even the celcom official site is damn damn hard to load. It takes forever! I mean, if you're gonna offer slow net speed, create a site with simple html instead.

Maybe you reading this is thinking, why is she complaining. If you're wondering that and not understanding why, you could stop reading now...



I don't have anywhere to download my Arashi media now. Isn't that sad? It's there but I can't download it. I think I am gonna leave this country and go stay somewhere else when I work, if I possibly can. It sucks being here.

Sigh.

Probably the only one who knows how I am feeling right now is Yvonne. Yvonne, you said don't jump off the 9th floor of the building; I am not gonna do that but still it feels terrible not being able to download what I want. I hate being restricted for anything. There's not even anything we can possibly do to solve the problem.

New layout. For now.

Since I said for a long time already that I wanna change my blog look. How's grey? Not a nice colour choice I know, but to match the banner...

Just a reason for procrastinating, I couldn't resist changing my blog layout. This will hold until I make some time again for actually revamping my whole blog look.

Me and my fandom

Long time no update. I was busy with assignments. =(

I have a double sided tiny frame with the picture of Nino which I hang onto my pencil box. One day in DED class my friend felt bored so he fiddled with it.

Friend: *flips frame back and forth to compare(?) pictures on both sides.* You really like Arashi, huh? What about Mika?
Me: Yeah, I do. Mika's still there. This person *points to frame* and Mika are in a drama together.
Friend: *flips frame back and forth quickly and puts it down finally*
Me: O_o
Friend: I can understand why you're attracted to him.
Me: You can? Why? ^_^
Friend: You know, oval face, long juicy hair~~~~
Me: When it's you saying it, it sounds kinda disgusting...



Yes, he did say juicy. And yes a guy agrees that Nino is good looking. ^___^

Yes. As if you can simply resist Nino being so hot and everything~
Proof:


*major flail*

Blurrrrrrrr

I went to the supermarket to look at some food items with my friends yesterday. While I was walking down an aisle I saw my previous semester subject friend in front of me. So I said, "Eh! So long time didn't see you and I see you here."

He said, "I called you earlier but you didn't hear me, shopping till hin ki la~"

At that moment, my head got a lot of question marks. ??????????

My two friends who were with me at that time, said to me, "Yeah, he was right in front of your face just now, and called you. We thought you heard him."

"Really???? I really didn't see him and didn't hear him! Why didn't you tell me!"

At that time I could almost see a big drop of sweat on my friends' heads. It must have been pretty obvious.

After that I tried to defend myself. "It's not my fault I didn't hear him, right? His voice is very soft when he call me."

But then again I was told he was right in front of my face again. omg.

This happen to me so many times already, a similar situation. If my friend who called me or walked right in front of me hoping I'd see them and recognize them and say hi to them, and I didn't, they would have thought that I was being totally arrogant or something.

I didn't mean to~~~!

It's just that I really am very blur sometimes. In my vision, I simply focus on one thing and blur out the rest.

That's quite bad, if you ask me.

Imagine you said hi to someone or called someone and that person totally ignored you. omg so embarassing right. I don't wanna do that to people!

That's so rude. T.T I wanna get rid of this habit.




yosh. I'll get back to my neverending (literally) load of maths homework.

She sure knows her customers well

Today I was at uni for the whole day. Had to stay for a briefing about the accreditation board coming for a meeting with students, although my classes ended at noon. I was 'volunteered'.

Since I ate my brunch around 10 something in the morning, I was rather hungry by the time I went to fetch my mum from uni. So I thought, I'll stop by at the roadside noodle stall on the way.

Reached there, ate my fill of noodles and had a drink. Alone, of course. When I was about to pay, the tauke nio said:
"Where's your friend today?"

Ah!

A little surprised by the question but I answered: "She doesn't have classes today so she didn't come along with me. ^_____^"

Surely we couldn't be associated with each other that much right? Cause it was probably only three times the most that we went there to eat in the evening...

Yvonne, the tauke nio misses you! Go and eat her noodles sometime~~!

I understand totally

Sometimes if you have problems, and you wanna get it out of your system and feel better by telling someone, I know now that you can't tell ANYone.

Because not only they aren't willing to just listen and understand, they laugh at you instead. How painful it is to get laughed at when you're having problems. I wonder how they can laugh.

Some 'friend' they are.

Cool dad

As old-fashioned-thinking, unreasonable...
Getting on my nerves...
and as much as we clash on opinions most of the time sometimes ~

Sometimes, (at times like these), I couldn't help thinking that, I have a rather cool dad after all.

He actually stands up for his relatives most of the time.

Frugal!

This morning my neighbour rang our doorbell.
His toilet got blocked, so he came over to borrow a suction pump.

Eehhhhhhhh???????????????

Isn't a suction pump, something you should have in your house? At least its something that we always have in our house. Cause it's important in times like you have blocks and such.

But he didn't, so he came over to borrow. :O
The supermarket is only less than two minutes away. And honestly, it isn't very expensive, one of those suction pumps. If they wanna borrow the jet pump which costs over a thousand, I'd understand.

Is a suction pump, something you borrow from your neighbour? My mum said she wanted to tell my neighbour, "Please have it after you're done, you don't have to return it." But isn't that kinda offensive. And not borrowing is seriously rude as well. Well...being polite, of course the only choice is going to take it from the toilet and hand it over to the neighbour without saying much.

But it's seriously disgusting if you think about it...


Of course he returned it after he's done with it~~~although we wish he didn't.





The suction pump is still sitting in the garden.

My neighbour takes frugality to a whole new level. He must have lots of money in the bank.

Aiba rekomen

I downloaded the clearer version of Beautiful days aired on Aiba rekomen.
It sounds better. I can hear the melody of the piano and everyone' voices clearly. I've started to like it~ so, I'm looking forward to the single. I might buy it also~~~honestly speaking.

What's with the change of mind after listening to Beautiful Days the second time?!

But like Aiba said "Let me eat the things I like my own way please."

Let me like the things I like my own way please~

^____^

Just now I was in the library surfing the internet to pass my time when a friend walked over to say hi.

Avery: What are you looking at, is that a blog?
Me: No, forum.
Avery: What forum is that? That's the Japanese thing right?
Me: What Japanese thing? ^____^
Avery: The Japanese thing you're currently obsessed about.
Me: What thing I'm obsessed about..? ^______^
Avery: Yeah, Arashi, something like that. *points to the word Arashi on the screen*
Me: ^_________^
Avery: You're always having Japanese words on your MSN private message.... 'kays, gotta go, Alice~
Me: Bye! ^____________^


fufufufu~~~
Well, I guess everyone knows, even someone who doesn't really hang out with me often like Avery~

Rude!

Just now I went to the post office to ask about the road tax rebate stuff.

I went to the counter and asked a guy sitting there. "Saya mahu tanya pasal rebate road tax kenderaan." and passed him the form to see.

He rudely answered, "Tanya lah!" and pointed to the others sitting behind the counter and walked off. More like stormed off. I was left standing there like a dumb person. I wonder why he is so rude??? It's not like I was being rude to him or anything. I asked him politely even.

Maybe his cat died. Maybe he got dumped. Anyway who cares. This is why I dislike dealing with the people behind the counter sometimes.

The taste of defeat

I KNOW I just did badly in the Digital Electronics test today. Because I made too many silly mistakes I lost almost half of the total marks of the paper already. It's not that I don't know how to do the questions.

I have to work hard from now on, no more fooling around!!!!

100th post

*throws confetti* Happy 100th post to me!

Omg, I didn't realise that it's my 100th post! And as usual, I have the boring things to say, although it's 100th post it's as boring as usual...

Today's really quite weird. Today I made friends with 1 stranger who I met outside the lecturer's office, and another person taking the same subject as me (whom I never talked to before) while waiting outside for my class. I'm being unusually friendly today. (?????)

What the heck is the reason for that. I just started a casual conversation~~~ maybe I am in a good mood today, for making friends? Or maybe it was because I was half asleep. I couldn't keep my eyes open during lectures. 2 or 3 hours of each subject in one go. I really dozed off more than half the time... Usually I could at least pay attention for the first hour or so. But today it was only 15 minutes of attention before I started doing something else. Like doodling in my notebook, humming a song, or just plain falling asleep while pretending to be taking notes.

I just finished installing Nero 8 on my comp. Nero 7 wasn't compatible with Vista and had problems after I installed. The problem is I couldn't install ver. 8 if I didn't remove ver. 7. But since ver. 7 had problems it couldn't be installed (!) and I had to do some research online and finally the solution was to download a Nero Cleaning Tool to remove Nero 7.

Mendokusai na....doing all these things~

...while I should really be studying for my Digital electronics design test tomorrow! It has got to do with 0s and 1s. How exciting. But as easy as 0 and 1 seem to be, it's really not that easy. 0 and 1 really builds up in complexity as you go. My head is gonna be filled with 0s and 1s.

I'm quite sorry that post #100 is this uninteresting. But I'm in the middle of tests, so forgive me. Good luck to everyone who's having their tests/exams as well, if you're reading this, I think I better hurry up and end it so you can go ahead and bury yourself in books~~~~(that means Yvonne you*)

See you tomorrow! I'm off to study 1s and 0s now...
Aibababai!


*you here refers to the person who asked me to chia her makan kaya balls today, and then when I bought enough for two people, all she did was ate one and quickly went to class and left me alone with 10 to finish. I almost puked eating all of them (cause I hate wasting food).

Can I~~

I'm longing for a very very very long vacation right now. An escape away from everything; everyone and my workload and just enjoy myself for a bit~

The new song

Maybe I should have put this title as 'Beautiful Days', because I am about to post my thoughts about the song after listening to it, but I refuse to do so.

This song, I don't like it, and it wasn't very catchy at first listen. Honestly, I'd go as far to say that I was disappointed by this song, since it's gonna be the theme song for Ryusei no Kizuna.

It was blurry and hazy on the radio rip. Maybe that's the reason I disliked it. I shouldn't have downloaded the radio rip, I regret that I did so, I should have been more patient and wait until a better quality version comes out. Now I don't like it, and I feel guilty for not liking it. And I KNOW it is the problem with the quality!!!!! Bad quality spoils the song~~~

I really regret downloading the radio rip.

After listening to the radio rip once, I am gonna delete the file after I finish writing up this post. And I'm not gonna listen to 'Beautiful days' again until a better quality version comes out.

Then, I'll listen to it once more in its high quality version and I'll most probably change my mind.

Why didn't you wave?

She went to the concert with a friend. Too bad she and her friend were sitting at a position where it's most not strategic. Arashi was facing the other direction, all they could see were their backs.

When they stopped singing a song, there was a pause before they moved on to the second one. And the fangirls were silent. No one was screaming like they usually were during songs. Grasping the chance, she screamed.

"Niiiiiiinooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And twice. "Niiiiiinoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Of course, when it was rather silent and she was screaming on top of her lungs the voice echoed throughout the large area.

Nino turned back to look in her direction. He was trying to spot where the voice came from, exactly who was the one who screamed his name. But she was probably too shocked that he'd actually look back and try to find the person, so she didn't wave. She just stood there looking at him, hoping he'd spot her himself.

Beside her, her friend screamed too. "Sho-chan!!!!!!!"

And as well, Sho turned back to find where the voice came from. She pointed at her friend, as if to tell Sho, 'here, here!' but Sho couldn't spot them as well...

Her friend just stood there, not waving. Just standing still.



Yume deshita.

I wonder why they didn't wave? If they would have waved, wouldn't they have been spotted?

I. Hate. Tests.

My parents are back today. So the fun is over. Well, doesn't matter anyway, since I need to study for a test this Monday and another one this Wednesday. I hate tests. Why do I have so many of them???

On an unrelated note, I've been wondering....
We don't always have to tell our friends if we know something which is related to them right? Sometimes keeping it secret and waiting till they themselves know it (or not know it forever) is better. But would they blame me for not telling? It's somehow a dilemma.

Mess of wires

Ah, so tired! Spent about 4 hours with Digital Electronics Design Lab, trying to fix the circuit so it works. I was the one doing the connections of the prototyping board with my lab members' helpful assistance. Everytime we made a mistake we did it over. Plugging and unplugging the wires. Too bad I didn't have a camera with me at that time. I could have taken a picture of the wires jungle poking out from the board.

But you get a real satisfaction and happiness from when the circuit works, so in the end it's all worth it.

Today was fun!

Just now, went out together with Joyce and her two friends I was introduced to, Yue Chin (sorry if the spelling is wrong!) and Kenny.

Had breakfast and after that went to Hock Lee centre. Joyce went to buy a graduation present for her friend (a pen engraved with graduation well wishes on it). It was really prettily done italic engraving, and the pen was nice to write with as well...

We walked around the mall and then played some air hockey. Me vs Joyce resulting in me winning! Yay! 9 against 2. I have a feeling Joyce wasn't really trying. I was TOTALLY into it with a high tension from the beginning, while Joyce whined said she wanted to stop playing already after I scored 2 points against her. The air hockey puck hit my right pinky finger when it came sliding at high speed and it still hurts a little now. But it was really fun!

After that was lunch. It was Joyce's treat. Thanks Joyce! (Let me be the one to treat you the next time we go out to eat!) We spent some time there because we couldn't make up our minds where to go next. At last we decided on Everise - the bowling alley actually.

We hung around a while then it was decided we'd play a game. Yue Chin and me play a game against each other O_o I was a total beginner...never even touched the bowling ball in my life. So we bowled and my score was.....





80. (muahaha)

I think its not bad for a first timer. I even had one strike! Beginner's luck XD

I should consider bowling again cause it's really quite fun. Bowling for the sake of bowling and not competitively is nice! Can release stress right. Ajak me go together, anyone! As long as I don't have an upcoming exam/test, I'd surely agree to!

Dinner

Today, I went to dinner at a restaurant with my family. Yvonne came along as well!

At the restaurant we saw Maxxbie. He's there for his grandfather's birthday.

He must be quite surprised to see both of us there.

So close!

I almost forgot that I had to update this blog, thanks to the amount of downloading I'm doing.

I missed a day, so 25th there's gonna be two posts.

Today I changed my handphone number. Geez, I really dislike changing numbers, since you have to go through all the trouble of informing everyone that you changed numbers. It took a while sending messages to everyone on my list. And I didn't even send it to EVERY ONE in my list. Only the selected few who are more likely to contact me.

My dad bought the number for me and didn't inform or ask me beforehand. He could have picked an easier number to remember! I dislike the number also. Yes, I need to pick my own number. I prefer picking my own number.

I read an article about Matsujun shopping for desks. He said he hasn't found one that's got him to say "Ah, that's the one!". I realised that me and him are same in so many ways! (Including being an absolute do-S) I absolutely have to pick my own stuff and I'll go around hunting for something specific, I seldom settle for anything that's not specific. Cause I've been looking for a study desk like him as well, some time ago, and couldn't find exactly what I want so I had it custom made.

Really, you'd be surprised how I'm obsessed with something you'd think of as not important like how study tables should measure in terms of width and length, plus how many drawers it should have. So, I totally understand Matsujun. Details are important! Very important!

It's very tiring sometimes of course, but you get the satisfaction of everything being exactly what you want them to be like.

...

I feel like cold beer and snacks right now. Anyone wants to accompany me go drinking?

...

bye.

are re re re re re....

Isn't it minutes into 25th already! Early morning of 25th! Hello everyone...

Was busy updating livejournal until I forgot it here. Seriously, if only blogger would enable password-locked posts! Then it wouldn't be necessary to have two blogs already.

....

I'm kiddin~ I'd still have livejournal! But I think I won't be posting anything there....

Double dose of cho ureshii-ness!!!!

dsbfjasdfbsdvabajdfax dcsfdjfhbdsc1!!!!!!
This is too good to be true!!!!!!



translated by yanie02, thanks to ryuseinokizuna.livejournal community!
Source: The article

It has been revealed on the 22nd, that singer, Nakashima Mika (25) will act again in a drama series after 6 years. She will act in "Ryusei no Kizuna", with Ninomiya Kazunari as the lead, and her role is a mysterious lady but the role's name has not been revealed. Her new song, ORION (release on Nov 12th) will be the insert song of the drama.

Nakashima will play an original character, that doesn't exist in the book. Her role is a mysterious lady who's a regular customer of the curry store that the siblings' eldest brother, played by Ninomiya Kazunari, works in. She'll appear starting from Episode 2, and as the story progresses her role become more and more significant.

This is the 2nd time Nakashima star a drama series since "Shiritsu Tantei Hama Mika" an NTV drama in 2002. Her acting performance was acknowledged since NANA The Movie. So producer, Nasuda Jun, offered her the role and to sing the insert song at the same time.

Nasuda said, "I've always wanted to ask Nakashima-san to compose the kind of song that gives warmth and save the three siblings from their sorrow. As an actress she also has the mysterious aura and warmth as well, so I asked her to star the drama too,".

In July this year, Nakashima released a rock-tuned song together with Morisanchuu and formed a band, "MICA 3 CHU". But the drama insert song, ORION is a grandeur ballad with the winter's orion star as theme. Nakashima Mika's Yuki no Hana was also a hit in 2003.

Nakashima said, "It's been a long time since I act in a drama, so I'm feeling nervous, but I'm really looking forward to it. The insert song fits in the drama's story, so please look forward to it!"


Yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the best news ever!

You bet I'm looking forward to it, Mika!!!!!!! A new drama for Mika after so long................................I'm marking my calendar with a huge huge huge circle on the date!!!!!

Mika and Nino in the same drama acting together! Arashi singing the theme song and Mika singing the insert song to Ryusei no Kizuna! This is too good to be true! How much better could it get???? This blows up my happiness meter because it's just too much!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't know it was gonna be this setting when I wrote the post before about Ryusei no Kizuna and Mika. It must be a lucky move to write about them together in the same post! There were some news about Mika's ORION being tied-in with a drama (actually it was Innocent Love) but it turned out to be Ryusei no Kizuna!!!!! (someone got it mixed-up?)

Now the ratings better go up the roof for this drama!! Since we have my favourite people acting in it... *cries from happiness*

Now, if only they suddenly announce Toda Erika to be removed from the drama . Actually I think I don't really mind Toda Erika being in it that much now. Having both Mika and Nino in it makes up for it.

Multitasking

I'm chatting, typing out the latest chapter of my fiction, downloading Arashi shows, and listening to music.

Multitasking it is! *proud of myself*

But none of it has got to do with anything academic eh...

Sunday, September 21, 2008

Today

Just now I spent the whole afternoon downloading the printer driver software from the HP website because my dad lost the installation CD. I vacuumed my room while letting it to download so I can get two things done at the same time.

After that I helped my mum with her work with the students' exam paper, and then played scrabble with my brother. I won XD. But of course it doesn't mean much winning against a 12 year old.

Arashi is gonna sing the upcoming theme song for Nino's new drama, Ryusei no Kizuna! Yay! It's called 'Beautiful Days'. The name sounds good, eh? 4 singles in a year, Arashi is certainly busy in 2008 and it's not even their anniversary year yet. I wonder what are they gonna do next year for their 10th anniversary.....could it be more releases as compared to this year? Fangirls are gonna be broke!

I was thinking before this, that if Arashi doesn't sing the theme song for Ryusei no Kizuna, I won't want any artist under Johnny's Entertainment to sing it either. It wouldn't be fair if there's no Arashi single for Nino's drama since there's Truth for Riida and One Love for Matsujun's HYD Final, right?

I feel a bit sorry that Arashi is so busy! Nino has drama and together with the rest of the members, have to do the Asia Tour and also promotion for the single as well! Can they have space to breathe at all? I hope Johnny's don't overwork them....

Mika Nakashima is also releasing soon! The single is called ORION, it's a jazz ballad, sort of. I'm not very good at describing songs but it sure sounds like a jazz tune, from the preview I heard. I'm glad that she's returned to what she's best at. And hopefully, with the new single, a new image as well. It's been some time since I've seen Mika in magazines and shows, it's like she disappeared from the music scene a while. Being this inactive really isn't good in Japan, fans there will tend to forget you. After this single it should be the release of a new album....since Mika usually has 5 singles before an album.

With all that's happening, I need to have a new layout! I'm deliberating on what color scheme and pictures to use for the banner though. Since I have the time during the holiday I better get worked on the layout before school reopens.

Tomorrow I need to go to uni (despite the holiday =.=) for a group discussion on maths assignment! And definitely need to catch up on my studies. Until now, I don't know what we're learning for Actuators. There's gonna be a test on 6th October. =.=

I certainly babble a lot eh, this time? I'd better stop, see you in the next post!

To-do-list?

I have so many things I want to do! Where do I start!

I think I'll download Haikei Chichue-sama which I've been putting off until now.

And I'll finish up the latest chapter of my fiction!

Why is writing so hard.....................I think I brain froze.

Holiday!

The maths test is over! Walking out of the exam hall and discussing the questions with my friends, I realized that I made some silly mistakes for some of the questions. But I didn't really let it get to me because I am too happy that it's over for now!

Next week is a holiday and it starts now!

Although there are things to do during the holiday I try not to think about it much. Just enjoy myself as much as I can first.


p/s: I gotta stop rolling my eyes. But could people stop annoying me? Ok, ok I gotta stop.

p/p/s: Working on my fiction.......

Thursday, September 18, 2008

No!!!!!!!!


"One more thing, since it has a background of Koichi-Taisuke(Nishikido) and Shizuna(Toda) not related by blood, it'll be more interesting if the brothers are more conscious about this. If not, it'll be all about Shizuna and Yukinari(Kaname Jun) only. Not to mention, with Ninomiya-kun, Nishikido-kun and Toda-san as the casts, there will be something missing, if there's no romance (laughs)."

Interview with Kudo Kankuro (scriptwriter)




Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This can't be true! Why can't it be just focusing more mainly on being a suspense mystery drama?????????????????????????????????????????????

Maou OST

Currently listening to Maou OST which I downloaded from the net while studying maths at the same time. I have yet to watch the last episode of Maou, but spoilers were posted everywhere without spoiler button/link and before I could scream stop! to myself I was already halfway reading it.

=.= So I have a bit of idea how the drama ended.

By the way, the OST of Maou is <3

Gotta get back to work now. Lotsa maths to go through.

See ya.

Otsukareta....

Definitely, a good nap after a tired day does wonders. Woke up a while ago after falling asleep from having classes for one whole day.

Just now the Electrical Actuators lab was terrible. We were explained how to connect various devices by the lecturer and then we had to draw out a diagram showing all the connections done.

It doesn't help that he talks fast and has an accent. I was trying my best to decipher what he was saying! When he finished explaining and asked us to draw out the connections we were at a loss. Plus, he was really scary, when I passed in my connections drawing which I am unsure of, I was standing there totally terrified I was shivering. I don't know if it's the cold temperature in the lab or I was really scared.

It looked like he was about to throw a fit and say "Why the heck are you students so stupid, can't even draw connections!"

But it was correct, phew, we made a good gamble, it's only the drawing was messy and he helped us a little with drawing it out nicely. But the major device connections were correct. On the side note, he looked like he dozed off while waiting for us that were totally stressed out over the connections drawing. Literally dozed off. I wonder if we did take that long!

But him dozing off is good, cause he didn't see his students looking at the huge devices and trying hard to remember which port of which device was connected to which. We even have trouble remembering the ports that were actually involved! Cause there were so many of them, and they're labelled the same. Theres port R and T on this side and another port R T on the other side. There were two sets of L and N ports too. "Which one was it again?!?!" That's how it's like.

Plus once we got all the stuff set up he was constantly looking over our shoulders...This is the most stressful lab session ever.

I couldn't concentrate in the tutorial class after the lab. I was damn tired. It was Digital Electronics Design, and the lecturer kept saying 01010010101010101, 010101 so toggle, reset, so this is 10101000101......output is 10100111101010........

It didn't take me long to get sick of all the 1s and 0s, after a while I stopped concentrating cause I couldn't. The lecturer's high pitched voice in the echoing room made matter worse, soon I was having a headache.

Enough with the 0s and 1s already...

I was second out of the class when it was time to go. She let us off 5 minutes late.



The blue 24 jikan terebi T-shirt is on the way from Japan! As you'd expect I'd be happy, its 98% happiness. If it's yellow I'd be 100% happy. But nevermind. I'm still looking forward to it.

And Nino's gonna be in Tokyo Friend Park 2! On October 6th. His third time....I love TFP so I'm looking forward to it! Also....I'm looking forward to the one week mid-sem break next week.......................................................

Finished the circuits test today! Finally...
But, I don't know if I did well in it or not... because I am not sure of the answers. Please just don't let me get so many questions wrong.

After the test was over, I quickly went home cause I was freakin hungry.
And then I went to sleep cos I have a headache and was really tired.

I have a test soon, on Friday, its maths, and I really need to study cause I still don't get many parts of it. But for now, I'll just enjoy Monday first. When tomorrow comes I'll start studying.

Tomorrow, I'll be tired too. There's two labs to be done and I have class starting from 8.30am to 6.30pm.

That's all for today, see you in the next entry.

Sunday, September 14, 2008

Why oh why

I lied. I couldn't stay away from posting in my blog especially when it's test soon because I'll have a whole lot of rants to say out.

I've been studying circuits whole day and I wonder why, can't I get the answers right when I do the questions?

Haih....

The other day I banged the back of my head hard (this is true, definitely not kidding) and it swelled for like 3 days and it hurt and I had headaches and everything, so I wonder if that's what making me can't understand my circuits?

How come other people said it's pretty easy?????

I don't want to cry after I come out of the lecture hall tomorrow....

At 2am

I need to make a promise to myself that I will not do other unnecessary things except studying my circuits and maths this week! Tomorrow's the last day to study circuits before the test. Or it's technically today already.

But first, I'll get some sleep first. Goodnite!

Saturday, September 13, 2008

Finally got it!

Right now I am posting from my new desktop computer! Remember I said I had to bring it to the shop?

The graphics card has problems. Yeah, I know, it's not even been used yet! Already got problem. My dad was noisy about it. =.= Well they replaced it for me and I brought it back today.

I still need time getting used to the keyboard, the Vista interface and other stuffs. I feel the monitor is too wide. It's 19 inch, not THAT large but I've been using small ones all along (my old desktop still uses cathode rays and my laptop is 14 inches), and then suddenly using a wide one....this 'luxury' is overwhelming to this poor girl.

Maybe I'll post pictures of it when I feel like it, but I have to stop with doing other stuff and get back to my studies. Circuits test!!! Maths test!!! *screams in horror*

p/s: There's a trojan in my laptop. It's damn annoying! =.=

Friday, September 12, 2008

Angry.

I need to work on my death glare. It'll be of use cause some people are getting on my nerves. Really, if you're being nice to people they step on your head. It's better to be mean so that they don't dare to do anything to you.

kill those stupids!

Thursday, September 11, 2008

Pondering over circuits

I truly truly regret not listening during lecture because I realised now that it's all really confusing!
Cause I didn't listen, I gotta understand everything myself from scratch. And, I am quite sure that the lecturer's solutions has mistakes in them! Which makes understanding them even harder.

I need to go to the other groups tutorial tomorrow to clear my doubts.



Back to circuits again~ bye

Tests coming up

Since there's two tests next week, I'm taking a break from posting in my blog everyday. This applies to my blogspot and livejournal.

I might still post short entries when I feel like it, so stay tuned still. I can't stay away from posting for one whole week I suppose. But if I don't study, I can bid my grades byebye and I don't wanna do that.

I'll do my best! Please wish me luck for the tests, people!

Bad days~

How come so many bad things happen to me over the period of just a few days.

My parents are angry with me and I can't explain myself. My computer doesn't work after I set it up. Someone in my class is totally trying to embarass me with something that I did last semester.

Could it be karma? Am I being repaid for something bad which I did? Cause I do believe everything is full circle.

These few days I wasn't really in the mood at all. And yet I had to try to make a smiling face in front of these people I really needed to seriously take a break from.

I need to cool it off with my parents, I need to get the computer to the shop again tomorrow, I need to think 'he's not trying to embarass me, I'm being too sensitive/ he doesn't know joking boundaries/he's childish to bring up old stuff so just leave him alone'. I need to study for two tests next week.

I need to be more mature! And care less. I'll leave this all behind in words and really leave it behind me for real.

I'll be okay tomorrow.

Reading lab sheets is useless.

Today is a total waste of time spending 1 hour plus studying the EAS notes that is related to today's lab experiment, because the lab session was overbooked and we got kicked out and had to book another time slot.

Let me explain just how frustrating it is since it doesn't make sense at all why we need to book another time. Its two hours lab session, but the lab experiment only takes less than 1 hour, and two groups can go simultaneously at a time, so the lab technician let 5 groups have that time slot.

But when the lecturer came he insisted that only two groups can have the two hour time slot. So my group was among the unfortunate ones that had to rebook.

Well, as expected the lab experiment only took half an hour to complete (I asked after they finished), but they took two hours anyway. But just because the equipment was spoilt and the lecturer spent one and half hour trying desperately to fix it because he didn't know how (the lab technician went home already).

Today was unlucky. The only time I took the initiative to actually go through the lab sheet instead of going to lab with an empty head, we got kicked out from doing the experiment. Next time, I'm going in with an empty head! Because obviously initiative doesn't suit me. It makes me unable to do lab experiments. =.=

Sunday, September 7, 2008

*sigh*

My head totally hurts a lot. This is just an obligatory post. Feeling under the weather, and yet tomorrow I need to prepare for lab.

Saturday, September 6, 2008

Okay here goes.

In response to chikage's comment about me not posting in my blog although I said I'd post everyday. Here goes. A post. I was writing all night in my livejournal because you totally kept asking me to release a chapter of the fiction! And I posted already, the new chapter. And you read already. You're not allowed to bug me for another release until next week!

But really, chikage is probably the only person that is so loyal in reading my blog. Checks everyday. m(_ _)m thank you, I'm very touched!

===

The other day when I went to the PR department Miss Phang saw me and asked me if I wanted to become a tutor! For Engineering Maths A again. I said I'd think about it, and when I came home and really thought about it, I decided I'll say no this time.

If I don't up my grades this semester, I'm totally accepting the offer for tutoring next semester! But this sem, I'll give myself more time for studies (hopefully) and we'll see what happens.

Yesterday I went out with Joyce for a while to the Spring. As you'd expect, you need more than an hour ++ to walk the mall. So the only thing we did was sit and had shaved ice and talked about many things and went to Padini and tried on every pair of shades they had there. Then I had to fetch my mum. But I had a lot of fun because I didn't see Joyce for a long time.

Joyce and I talked about quite some stuff which includes gossip about various people and had laughs. One thing I realised from talking to her is that I have midterm exams at the end of September! Sheesh. And Joyce knows about the midterm exams, not me; and I am the Swinburne student. What a total failure in knowing the academic calendar.

So it's no trip to Sibu for me during the Raya holidays. And just when there's stuff I planned to buy there! I think I'll have to ask my aunt to help me buy them instead. Everytime there's a planned trip to Sibu I don't know if I should be excited or not. And when I can't go I don't know I'm happy or not. Mixed feelings.

I should stop here since I don't know what to write anymore. But maybe cause I've been writing almost everyday, there's been quite some hits so my points for Chocopet have gone to more than 500 points, so I can buy Bamboo a new background. See? Upper right corner, if you noticed, it's sunshine and rainbows!

So till tommorow, Ai-ba-babai!

*_*

Today evening, I got a call from my friend who's taking civil engineering.

Hmmm......when his name appeared on the handphone screen, I was kinda shocked. Since we don't take the same subjects anymore, what could he possibly call me about? We have no subs in common this sem onwards.

Curiosity builds up as I answer the phone.

"Hello, Alice, do you learn Matlab?"
That was what he said.

"Yeap, taking Matlab but only involved in it for the second half of the semester."

"Want to ask you Matlab stuff."

"Yeah, but I'm only gonna learn during the second half of the sem. (lol) I should be the one to ask you! Since you guys are taking it now. You wait yea, I'll surely ask you about it in time to come!"

That's how the conversation kind of went.

...

That guy,
asking me about Matlab! Although I'm not in the same course as him anymore.

I know he's the kind of person who wouldn't ask if he knows the person would be reluctant to help! Yea, I know he would ask if he's close enough friends with that person.

I'm happy cause of that! Not because I love being asked questions regarding studies or I love people asking me for help, but, I'm glad that he asked me because he knows I would help him if I could. Which means that, I am a good friend! He can ask other people, right? Like those that are actually taking same course as him.

I've kinda felt I'm not being a good enough friend to my friends sometimes. And today, he makes me feel like I'm sort of a good friend that would help her friend who needs help.



Yea......

I haven't learnt Matlab yet but I wish I have, so I could help him where I could!

and,

..thanks a lot! For asking me for help. So I know that we are still good friends!





Because, you're not actually good friends, until you dare to ask favors and troublesome stuff.

They match!

Usually I'm too lazy to upload pictures at all, but today is a rare case!

My purse


My pencil box

My purse matches my pencil box! Bought them in Sibu. Remember I told you I spent the last of my money on a pencil box? I don't know which one is Gaspard and which one is Lisa for sure. Gaspard = black , Lisa = white?


.......


Sorry. I felt bored cause of the rain.

blackout

Having a blackout now! This is annoying. Just when I thought I want to do homework ( I left it until today. Yeah I know I procrastinate badly >.>) Can't do much, it's dark and it's damn hot.

By the way, I ordered something through yuckie-chan online! It's this~


picture stolen from chikage who stole it from
http://www.ntv.co.jp/24h/shop/

Please please let there be yellow in stock! I want the yellow one badly. But if there's no yellow I'm getting the blue one.

Blue's nice too.

Since I went to all the trouble to steal the pictures, here's pink.

Pink is the color my friend's getting. They're all cute right?

Maybe you're thinking 'Why is Alice getting the yellow one, pink/blue definitely looks cuter!!!'
>.> I know lah, but I'm picking the color based on....


They're all wearing yellow! (this picture credit to yuckie-chan.livejournal)


See? Obviously I'd pick the blue one if there's no yellow.




Can't wait for it to arrive!

p/s: Bat's so lucky being in the US cause he can buy things from ebay cheaply~ You know you can get shoes for 99cents only!!!!!

Buying

After so much thought, I finally am going to buy it this weekend. Ever since I saw it at the mall, I can't get it off my mind, you know? So finally after so many months, I'm gonna buy it! Yay! Cuz I need and want one.

===

By the way, today I went to MPH. I headed straight for the computer, typed in Koji Suzuki, and clicked search. And, MPH has it!!!!

All three books. Ring, Spiral and Loop. They each costed RM35.90. And after that was a long search for the book itself. Couldn't find it until my friend casually saw it and picked it up. It was under my nose all along. =.=

But it's only Ring and Loop on the shelf. The first and third book. I so want to buy it!!! But I don't have that much money.


I want I want I want!!! *Wishing that I have these books*


If you read it you'll know why I like it so much. It's too damn good! I only read the first book, and I want to read the sequels. And I hope it's as good as the first.

Warning: Not for the weak-hearted

A little description for Joyce:
It's about video which caused the death of a few high school students after watching it. The video is made up of a series of disturbing images. At the beginning of the video is a message asking the person to watch it till the end. And, when the series of images ended, there is the ending message saying: "The person who watches this video is doomed to die 7 days from now at this exact hour. To escape death, you must....."

Then the tape cuts to static.

A journalist who is interested in this case, watched this video as he was trying to unearth the reason why the students died. So he has only 7 days to find out how to break the charm of the video. It's a story of him trying to solve the mystery behind the video before he himself dies.

It's kind of a psychological/horror thriller.


Maybe if I don't have the money to buy it, I'll go to MPH early in the morning and take the book and sit there on the reading bench and read it.

When I thought I'd print for once...

For the first time in ages, I thought that I'd stop leeching off my friends and print my own tutorial sheet and bring it to class. But I can't!

The computer connected to the printer downstairs has its monitor acting weird and not displaying anything at all, so I cant print my stuff!

So damn annoyed!

Looks like I gotta borrow from a friend after all, like I always do.

"Excuse me, can you borrow me your tutorial sheet....."

Just pretend it's yesterday's post

I missed one day of posting! Cause I've been posting in my livejournal, been writing in it until few minutes ago. Now I know how a writer with a deadline feels like.

Too tired. Byebye and goodnight.

Inspire me with ideas for my fiction!!!!! *flails*
What if I run out of ideas and ways to express?

to lovefighter~

I almost forgot that I have a blog post to write here.



You know, I have this friend from school that I've been keeping in touch with from when high school ended until around one year ago. She told me that, her msn list of friends have been dwindling, and I am one of the very few to still be in the list, simply because we still talk once in a while, and we're okay with each other, and also because we also don't too much.

After a while (back then), she had a new account for msn, and I am the only one from high school in her msn list. She'd only added me in her new account. Although I was sad that she'd not add the other high school friends into her new msn account, I kind of understood why. So I felt grateful that I'm still in her list, and didn't ask anything much about her changing accounts.

Because, at least I could still say hi to her sometimes. I could still see her sign in and out although I'm the kind of person that sometimes don't greet friends I see online. I felt okay even if she didn't speak to me, cause it's just enough to know that she is there, and seeing her sign in and out sometimes lets me know that she's probably doing ok in her life.

We had an understanding for each other most of the time. We didn't need to talk very often, cause we know why we don't.

But I don't see her sign in anymore now. I wonder how she's doing. I wonder if she's okay.

To lovefighter:~
I just want to see you sign in and out, to know that you're okay. And maybe listen to you rant sometimes. And I just hope that you're reading this.

Honestly, I hope you're doing well.

coincidence

It shouldn't be a coincidence, right?

That most of the lefty people I know are blessed with amazing talent in something. And there's one which is common.

Talent in maths.

So what, now I gotta be left-handed so I can be talented in maths.

It's true, it can't just be a coincidence that they are just good at it without it being related to lefthandedness!

'God must have spend a little more time on you them.'

It must be some kind of replacement advantage to them for being thrown in a world designed for right handed people.

Aaaaaa!!!

Just finished attempting to do maths homework. It is so difficult! I stopped trying after I couldn't get the final answer to even one question after attempting three.

I think I should read the notes first. Apparently what the lecturer talked about during the lecture wasn't enough. The book which costed me RM75 wasn't much help. There's only one example per section! My favourite Engi maths book author is still KA Stroud. Lotsa different examples and brief explanations where appropriate.

I feel super lazy! *hits myself* I need to have more will to study and pass this sem with flying colours! But it's like, parts of myself don't agree with one another.

eh..

I have a new motivation now! I'm attempting to write a full length fiction of more than 100 000 words! Cause I have the storyline in my head and everything. I just need to figure out the details.

What's the fiction like? Se-cret~~~lol. And you know writers never let people read their unfinished products usually, right?

I'm trying to take my imagination to new heights. I think my creative juices evaporated since I didn't use them for a long time. I don't wanna be stuck with only knowing maths and circuits for the rest of my life! I said I wanted to be a writer once, so I want to at least write although it's not needed in my formal education.

I might spend my free time writing it, like a new hobby, you know. It's my aim to finish it as soon as I can! But I'll still update this blog daily if I can, if there is anything to write at all, although it's just a few lines, I will keep writing. I'll keep to the 'daily thoughts' boring format. So stay tuned, people! lol Although I'm quite sure that the only person who reads my blog is me.

Anyways, the new home for my fiction will be my new blog as well. In Livejournal! Yeah, I've said I wanted a Livejournal blog for a long time, I registered myself an account. And entries to my fiction can be viewed for Livejournal users only. So sorry, those who want to read...

Well, I gotta be goin, so see you in the next post, likely, tomorrow!

Something happened in the library

Today, I was chatting with my friend in the library during our free time. On a table opposite me was a girl standing near the magazine racks. Suddenly a pile of books fell onto the floor. I looked over because the pile of books fell around 1 metre from the magazine rack, it couldn't have fell from it.

That girl picked up those books and walked over to the nearby table where a guy was sitting, said something to him with a displeased look and walked off. Just then I realised that the guy sitting at the table was the one to sweep the books from on top of the table onto the floor. Or else it wouldn't have flew that far.

Obviously couple quarrel(?).

What a jerk that guy was, losing his temper to the point of sweeping his girlfriend's(?) books off the table in a crowded library. What a loser.

He should be poured cold water over or slapped in the face for being so uncontrollably violent-like.

First day of uni (take 2)

So it's the second 'first day in uni' for the new semester post again.

I woke up kinda early today, 7.30am, but still arrived a little more than the dot in lecture. I was kinda glad I went, cause it turned out that there is a lecturer replacing the actual lecturer. (Although they didn't announce that and should have.) The lesson started today. But I was daydreaming throughout the lecture, nothing registered in my brain at all. During our break after one hour, I went off to the student admin (at the same floor) to take care of my invoice and timetable. I haven't gotten it yet, and I've been patient for one whole week.

As you'd expect from an office where M'sians are employed, I waited around 20 minutes for them to entertain me and 5 minutes for them to print the wrong invoice.

Then it took some time for me to get their attention on "This is my before-amendment-invoice"+ "I handed in my amendment form BEFORE the semester even started". I got a "We didn't get your amendment form because you handed it in at 1st floor and they didn't pass it to us" as an answer.

fndskfsdnfjdsgfbjsdbfsdjfjdsf!!

I told her what subject I wanted changed, and handed her my ID. It's another 5 minutes wait. Thank goodness it's A-ok, there wasn't any clashes and the classes aren't full. So my subjects were changed without a problem. If there were problems, I'd be seriously annoyed and pissed off since I've already handed in my amendment form weeks before uni started.

Obviously, they should change the registration system to a type where we have to go and line up and tell them by mouth what subjects we want to take, cause these people JUST can't handle paperwork or anything more advanced than that. Everything will go haywire. So it would be better to stick to something that works although it's very ancient already. HONESTLY. THEY SHOULD.

It is such a shame for a large establishment like this to be having inefficient systems and staff. What a shame, really. I thought education was a business? If it is, please have better student services!

It's just a damn long list of faults which I don't even want to try to remember and type it out here. A damn long list of things that would simply make you ask "Why? I thought this was a university and university environment!"

p/s: Why the heck do I have classes at 8.30am from Monday to Friday.

Realization

Today, it was rather dark in the evening when I fetch my mum back from school.

I was behind this black brand new Proton Saga, with two national flags on either sides of the car.

As I was driving behind this car all the time, I kept staring at those two flags.

Somehow subconsciously, I was thinking, "Why two national flags? That's rare to see....."

And then suddenly I realized that it's Merdeka month. It's already 15th August...and I just realized it now.

Somehow it doesn't seem like Merdeka month to me. For someone who's always on the road at least 2 hours per day, I don't see signs of the ushering of the Merdeka celebration that's coming up soon.

That black Proton Saga, reminded me that it's Merdeka month from its two flags. It was the only car on the road at that time which had flags on it. And it was a busy road.

There used to be more cars with national or state flags on them last few years. Now I can hardly see one.

....




sigh.

Stones are expensive

Today I went with my dad to a garden shop. We bought two bags of stones.

Somehow that sounds so weird to me. We bought stones. Actually it's not stones but tiny stones - pebbles. It's for the aquarium.

I was against it since it would be harder to clean the aquarium now. Little pebbles are hard to handle when changing water. I would know, and have the right to complain since the job of cleaning the aquarium is solely mine. =( And I don't even want to rear fish in the first place. I wanted a dog instead.

And! The pebbles are expensive yo. I never knew pebbles cost almost the same as rice. =.= Two bags of pebbles which are probably around only 10kg is rm60! D: And the price of pebbles vary according to the place it came from and also the colour!

Pebbles are amazing.

I learnt something. We can earn money by collecting pebbles. I should start collecting pebbles now and I can be rich!

One week

After a long week of waiting the item has finally arrived and collected! I'm extremely happy except the part where I give up my money...

But surely there isn't any feeling quite the same as the feeling of money exchanging hands and you getting a hold of something brand new.

New layout yay!

No you did not stumble upon the wrong blog, this really is unwritten1988.

Yay a new blog layout! I was totally sick of how pink and how blue the other one was so I changed the color and the banner too. According to 'my boom' right now.

At least even I myself won't get bored of looking at my own page or posting anything~

p/s: I totally lost friend blog links and had to track them down again. Silly me for not saving them first. =\

Olympic colors



Looking forward to the Olympics opening tommorow!

Wednesday, August 6, 2008

I made this! It's supposed to be very easy to make, but I am a photoshop idiot, so it took me some time. I'll have to practice more....It's my aim for the holiday next week..

I just hope my eyeballs don't burn out from staring at the computer screen for a long time~~

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

I've come to hate driving a lot. Even playing my CDs in the car doesn't help anymore. This is cause I spend at least 1 and half hour or more a day behind the wheel. Thanks to the traffic jams. Everytime I see a massive congestion although I leave earlier than peak hours it drives me nuts!

Maths lectures and tutorials starts this week. As you'd expect, from our maths-loving lecturer Mdm Seibu! I even laughed at her maths jokes although they weren't really THAT funny. Welcome back to Mdm Seibu's class, me! I'm hoping her enthusiasm for maths will rub off on me. I'm quite nervous taking Maths 4B before Maths 3B. The disadvantage is no prior experience with Matlab.

I'll try to do my best. But right now, I'm just waiting for the holiday next week to arrive.

Maou

This drama is currently airing in TBS in Japan~ A suspense drama by Arashi's riida Ohno Satoshi.

This drama is a remake of the popular suspense drama The Devil that was aired in Korea last year. Ohno Satoshi will be playing the role of a two-faced lawyer, one of which is a kind hearted soul and the other who is plotting revenge, using his brilliant mind, on the person who killed his relative. On the other hand, Ikuta Toma will play the double lead role of the man, who has become a detective due to his dark past, who is pursuing the mysterious series of murders and fighting against the devil (maou). -by DramaWiki~

Please watch it! Because I am watching it too. Seriously, the acting is amazing, and the storyline as well. It's a deep, dark story. I'm still stuck at the first episode, because I haven't gotten the subbed version from my friend yet. It's a different genre as compared to what is normally watched by most people.

I'm super tired but I'm still writing up this advertisement on my blog~~~~

Uni starts tommorow =.=

... and I am totally not excited at all. This is bad, since I'm supposed to be aiming to work harder this semester. I should be, I should be, but right now I am watching Mago mago Arashi instead.

I bought a new pc! Yay for me! *throws confetti* it's the very very very late birthday present I promised myself some time ago. Yatta! It'll be done maybe within this week or so. If I'm not feeling lazy, maybe I'll take pictures of it.

I am totally over this blog layout already, so I am going to have a new blog layout soon. Currently working on it. Maybe having a new layout will make me stay with blogspot. I've been having a feeling of changing my blog space to LiveJournal. The only thing that's keeping me here is that I have quite a few posts here. Ah, the more I think of it the more I wanna change to LiveJournal.

By the way, we're moving to the new building! So after one week on starting uni, it's one week of holiday after that. How's that supposed to help us get out of the holiday mood?
And regarding my timetable, I have too many complaints I don't even know where to start.

Ok, gotta go liao, see you in the next post~
