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 Joycewhined 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.

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....

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.
This is too good to be true!!!!!!

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!"

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.......

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.......................................................

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.

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!

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! =.=

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!

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. =.=

*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.

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 stuffwhich 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 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~
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....
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!!!!!
