/wrist alot alot alot alot.
just came back from meeting up with nazir. kns sia. less than ten minutes he also song. -.- and just like what i expected. he haven't read any of our weekly reports yet lo. good job sia.
keke. okay, what now. =/ nothing, i guess. 4.00pm. slack!
this is one of those times when a few things happen at once - can't get to sleep/don't feel like sleeping + bored with absolutely nothing else to do.
what's left to do in this case, is to let my mind wander about, thinking about those 'wu eh bo eh' [hokkien].
sigh. about two more weeks and i'm officially a third year student of ngee ann polytechnic electronic and computer engineering division network systems and security student. wow, now let's see how it looks like if the course name had not changed. ngee ann polytechnic electronic and computer engineering division internetworking and communications student. what a handful.
just one more year and i'll be serving [read: wasting time] in ns for two years. wonder if i can still stick to my plan then. tentatively, i'm thinking of going to australia to get my bachelor's degree after ns. i'll be continuing on with networking, i guess. the course is 1.5 year. financially wise i'm more or less able to go there and survive, but i can't imagine staying there by my own for 1 month, needless to say 1.5 year. whether i should carry on in networking or not, i guess i have to. i can't say that i excel in networking, but i don't think that i'm bad at it either. then there's the matter of the certifications. ccna huh. hopefully i can get that while i'm still in singapore within the next 2-3 years. but seriously, there's no motivation for me at all except for potential future job prospects.
why not local uni? to be honest, i haven't given a thought about going to local uni at all, and at the rate i'm going, there's no way in hell i'm able to get into one based on my less than ideal gpa. it isn't that bad, relatively speaking, but it's alot lower than what i had hoped to get. there're 2 more semesters to go, maybe i can still pull it up to make the overall gpa start with a 3, rather than a 2.
and regarding studying overseas, if you were to ask me to go right now, no matter what, i wouldn't bear to. friends, loved ones, family members, etc. too many things that i can't bear to let go off. but things may change in the future, but it's precisely that, that i still can't make up my mind. sigh, guess i'll have to deal with it when it comes.
more or less, the consensus for those who don't want to continue on in networking, they want to get into a uni to pursue a degree of their liking. so in the end, everyone will still go on their separate ways. it gets depressing whenever i were to think about what's in store for us few years later.
it kind of conflicts though. being in attachment makes me want it to end real quickly, but there would only be one semester left to graduation when it ends. if the previous few weeks over at ibm is any indication of what i'd have to face as an network engineer, then i'd rather stay as a student all my life. but reality will come barking up my ass whenever i try to not face it. this week's over, and as of now, there's still 131 days, 00 hours, 58 minutes, 04 seconds left till 8 august 6pm. no, i didn't go count it. i used a countdown timer widget in my mac. that's about 19 weeks left.
friends come and go, that's why we treasure friendship. the longest friend i've had was my primary school friend i've known since primary 5. up till now, this year will be the 9th year that i've known him. we used to be in contact often until secondary school. from often, it became less often. then up till poly, where we won't meet up or talk even on msn for months, only to break the silence when either of us remembers the other to ask for a favor, etc. honestly speaking, i don't make a good friend. i call my friends names jokingly, i poke fun at them, i laugh at their expenses, but have i ever reacted as nicely as they did when they do the same to me? i don't even know. often i lament about drifting away from friends, but come to think of it, i've never really did make much of an effort to keep us bonded together. maybe i've deserved it huh. a girl had said this of me, 'you don't make a good friend, but you'll make a good bf.' ignore the good bf part for now, because i've no idea about that, but even someone else other than me myself think that i'm not a good friend. true, i'm incredibly lazy. i'll only help other people if it doesn't inconvenience me too much. and in certain cases, especially for guys, whenever they need a listening ear, i'd listen, but instead of comforting words that they would expect to get from me, they would get a lashing from me instead. and i won't even bother to pretend to listen whenever they were to share something they are interested in whereas i'm not. haha. F6. wonder who came up with that. now 5 of us are in attachment, 1 isn't. and 2 of us are more or less 'anti-social'. so it makes me wonder whether F6 will remain as F6 till the end or not.
nyaha. it's already 5.21am. and i'm thirsty. still bored, and slightly sleepy. it better not rain later on. zz.
lol. i came across a site that i once visited few months ago and decided to try something out, for the sake of it. and the results surprised me alot. but it's a good thing. kekeke. it's some astrology horoscope thing la.. was playing around with it then i decided to try some compatibility report between two persons.. so yeah, don't really need me to say who i put la. =/
The following aspects between planets concern the possible relationships between two charts: especially the emotional and romantic relationship, but also aspects on social, intellectual and spiritual levels.
225 Conjunction Sun - Jupiter Positive aspect: Here is a couple you like to be with. They are charming, agreeable and know how to entertain their friends generously and warmly. They go well together, and love each other in a discrete and sincere way, and appreciate the joys of life together.
117 Trine Moon - Mars Positive aspect: Great physical passion and, as with every passion of this type, things can get stormy and heated. However, most of the time, the storms are sexy and exciting. Very passionate aspect, as it promises feeling behind the physical act. They desire each other always. The physical relations between the two are enhanced with desire and warmth. Great passion that doesn't fizzle out.
112 Conjunction Venus - Mars Positive aspect: This is a union that is particularly based on physical understanding, passionate love. There is a lot of affection between them, and they need to express it physically. Plenty of attraction here.
95 Conjunction Saturn - Neptune Positive aspect: Favorable union. Neptune brings dreams to Saturn, who lacks them, and Saturn brings common sense to Neptune, who is totally without it.
80 Trine Sun - Uranus Positive aspect: The Sun person will be enriched by this relationship with Uranus, which will lead to the discovery of a new world, original and full of change. They will go well together, but the Uranus person may resist marriage, at least on a formal level. In some cases, the relationship works better when the bond is not formalized, simply for the sake of the Uranus person's sense of freedom.
79 Conjunction Saturn - Neptune Positive aspect: Favorable union. Neptune brings dreams to Saturn, who lacks them, and Saturn brings common sense to Neptune, who is totally without it.
78 Sextile Mercury - Mars Positive aspect: They stimulate each other to be more creative and expressive. They learn a great deal from each other. They understand each other, like to discuss things with each other and undertake joint initiatives. Great intellectual understanding.
76 Conjunction Moon - Pluto Positive aspect: An uncontrollable great passion which might be a nuisance, as it sometimes lacks thought or control. Jealousy, possessiveness, absolute need of the other's presence 24 hours out of 24 can be issues. However, when trust is in place, they both will appreciate that their relationship is growth-oriented and far from a lifeless routine. Their feelings for each other evolve over time, and they learn from each other on an emotional level at every twist and turn. This fact is a treasure. The love they share is transforming in nature, so that they both feel renewed - almost like they are "new" people - through the relationship.
55 Trine Venus - Uranus Positive aspect: Union or love will be very strong, not at all intellectual, but sensual and full of romanticism and originality.
haha. what gave me a pleasant surprise was that the times when i was playing around with it few months ago, none of the readings gave all positive aspects. some had more positive aspects than negative ones, some had more negative aspects than positive ones. but it's actually the first time i see all positive ones. =xx though i don't really believe in all this, but it kinds of motivates me. haha.
nyaa. have fun playing around with it. keke.
oh ya, and it's raining.. i wanted to get my hair cut today and it had to rain again. -.- have to wait till tomorrow then.
AND I JUST KILLED MYSELF LA!! SPENT 200 SGD IN AN IMPULSE BUY!! KNS.
gonna seal off my clear card already. at least until may. -.-
but i already got a navy argyle zip shoulder bag. =xx
costed me 270SGD. -.- so abit hesitant to get another similar bag so fast. =/
but i think most likely i'd get the black beauty bean shoulder bag among the three, seeing that i already have a zip shoulder. keke.
haha. went to braun buffel to look around last night. their wallets for guys like not nice de ley, imo. very minimalistic la, but too plain liao le. =x nurhurhur. my one nicer!! =xxx besides, it's super common recently, i notice.
"any recommendations for wallets?"
"braun buffel lo."
"-.-"
but in the end i surfed the net and came across this.
so much nicer la please. and the exterior isn't leather, so won't see any creases after a period of usage on the outside.
but the price.. -.-
12,075.00 JPY = 167.227 SGD
Japan Yen 1 JPY = 0.0138491 SGD
Singapore Dollar 1 SGD = 72.2071 JPY
then including shipping, i paid 180SGD for that.
fricking chor, but it's worth it la i think. =xxxx
change of plans. vincent said that the setting up of the booth can only be done at night, maybe cos it's more convenient during night, so there's no need for me to go down and help, seeing that i've something on after 'work'. LOL.
so yeah, another day mc lo. keke.
was about to go get my hair cut, then it had to pour. so i'm waiting for 5pm lydat before leaving to meet up with the rest.
got wind of the news that an acquaintance who has recently been betrayed by her bf. i wasn't even affected by it now. seriously, what is the world coming to. it would have affected me alot if i heard about it in the past, but now, i don't even feel surprised.
what's wrong with guys that they just can't be faithful to their one significant other? is it that difficult to just stick to one? personally, i could care less about it, but when they are happening to people that i know personally one after the other, it gets on my nerves. and again, like that previous case, after he's been exposed, he apologises, and sweet talks.
QUOTE:
BOO.
share your real life stories here.
if you're once betrayed by your partner with another person and etc.
the process of healing. the hurt. and etc.
while for me, i guess i'm numb. i couldnt cry. i can even smile and question my boyfriends betrayal in total coolness. the whole drama during the exposure of his betrayal was one long amusing ride.
it's like observing how to spot a person lying by seeing his or her eyes and actions.
currently, he is the one pleading me not to leave him and give him one more chance. all his sweet talk and 'i need you' blah blah talk, came out.
i got tonight to think about this. and make a decision, hopefully by tomorrow.
i'm abit torn though.
i didnt even shed a tear or show a tinge of sadness that time.
maybe i'm losing it.
or i've grown up through this incident?
/QUOTE
yeah. different people has their own different ways to handle it, you can cry and mope around for all of eternity, you can smile and move on, it's entirely up to you. just don't pretend to be someone you're not. don't try to move on when you feel better moping around. and don't pretend to be sad when you just can't feel sad. but whatever it is, my advice is to move on and not stick with the person anymore. once there's the first time, there will be the countless times that come after it. sure, you can say, what if he doesn't do that anymore. so i'll return another what if. what if, he does it again? and again and again? what are you going to do about that again and again? you might love him alot, but try loving yourself instead and think, can you really handle his betrayal yet again?
i hate to stereotype and generalise, but i'll make an exception this one time: guys can either be faithful throughout all their lives or be unfaithful throughout all their lives. there's no in between. if there are, well, show me.
waha. had a good talk last night. and something that was mentioned made me really happy. hee.. at least now i know that there's some progress. =DD
but okay, enough about that. let me upload some scandalous photo that i took.
muahahaha. now you know. LOLLL. should be can tell who's who from their backviews la. kekeke.
went to bugis with will and nor after work on mon..
then went chinatown for a dinner with them again after work yesterday, followed by going to jp to find ly and yw. -.-
lol. the '89 mount elizabeth batch are full of stubborn people, i swear. LOL.
oh ya, i survived from experiencing the greatest pain ever in my 18+ years of life. -.-
remember the minor op i mentioned about? i just went for it this morning. kns, it hurts like fug even when i'm under partial anesthetic. i don't want to imagine how it would be like without any anesthetic at all sia.
but okay la, i survived. then waiting for the wound to heal nia lo. keke. two days' mc, but then vincent called me in the afternoon and said that i'd have to go suntec convention centre level 4 ballroom to help out in setting up a booth. not a lot of details into it, but i guess i'd know tomorrow. i chose to go despite the mc la, cos it's finally a job that i can do. don't wanna miss out this chance to perform~~ hoho. and it's nearer too. -.-
omg. why the hell am i feeling so sleepy arh? it's only 11.12am ley.
oh ya, i forgot to sign in to msn. no wonder i was feeling that something's missing.
zzz. what the hell. some guy doing repair works. i thought what happened sia. the office usually silent like shit then suddenly got banging and knocking. -.-
my sniffing's back to haunt me again. shouldn't have gotten myself drenched in the rain last night. but arh well, suan le. keke. i'd be better by tml i guess.
now i don't know whether there's a problem with my thumbdrive or it's the lousy thinkpad's usb ports. =/ go home and test using my mbp riaos.
HMM. apparently, the news is spreading huh. keke. guess it's only a matter of time. =xx already kena questioned yesterday during work hours. =/ most prolly today also will kena.
i was talking to a few people in the forums, and i noticed something funny. you know when people tries to tell you something new, they'll go, "You know hor, they say that you'll fall sick in you get drenched in the rain.", "They say that [insert general knowledge]." and by "They", those people are not referring to anyone at all. so it made me think, who exactly are 'They'? lol. food for thought. keke.
it's almost lunchtime. wonder if i should eat today or not. i skipped yesterday's. =xx haha. i think i'm damn qian da. i always don't follow my own advices. =/ ask people to take care i also keep falling sick easily. =xx nyaa.
it's been a while since i've written any stories, so i think i might try writing one. so sit back and relax. hohoho.
update at 1.38pm:
wtfwtfwtf. migraine strikes~ -.- head's hurting like fug.
i've been trying to write the story just now, but i only managed to type abit. =/ brain's not working. eyelids closing. i think i'll go occupy one cubicle in the toilet and sleep inside. hoho. hope no one needs to shit. =/
nyaa.
...
1.44pm:
screw it. feels so retarded sleeping inside a cubicle. washed my face and came out instead. about 4 hours more~!! RAWRRHH.
coincidence is just god's way of remaining annonymous - some retard.
recalled this from leap years, i think. else i'd be that retard that came up with this line.
actually i had thought of some materials to write another story with, but i'm not comfortable with writing it. so i'll put it on hold for now. hopefully i might get another inspiration to write with.
i wonder, is there any reason for a person to like someone?
and if there is, would anyone that fits the reasoning suffice for one to like?
i've been asked a few times, but i've never been able to come out with a good reason.
how would i know i like someone, if i don't even know the reason behind me liking her?
because she's likeable? because she's kind? because she's considerate?
vague answers. they are not wrong, but the many likeable, kind and considerate girls out there, why among them, i'd only choose one? and why, that particular one?
for the combination of various characteristics that i look out for?
it's not chemistry, where combining 2 hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom gives you water.
the looks? even more unlikely. walk around and i'll see a girl prettier than another. so i'm to go after the prettiest at the end of the day?
all it boils down to, it's the feelings i get whenever i'm talking to or just being around her.
so what makes her different from the other girls i've liked so far.
i can't put my finger on it exactly but..
the feeling is different. the things we talk about are different. the jokes we share are different. the friends we have are different. her smile is different. her tastes are different. her priorities are different. her reactions are different.
i'm not that good with words, actually. all i'm doing is just to type in proper english, but that's all i'm doing. but i guess it's good if the message i want to convey gets across. else, i guess there's no helping it.
just got these two just now.. haha. more or less an impulse buy, even though i wanted to get a pair of shoes from converse for quite a while already. and that impulse came at a super bad timing. =/
but whatever, i'm not going to regret it.
caught sky of love aka koizora just now. haha, a tearjerker, but it's quite nice la.
caught so many movies recently.. meet the spartans, step up 2, leap years, rule #1 and sky of love. step up 2 and sky of love are the best ones among these five already. followed by rule #1. the other two.. i can give them a miss ba.
oh ya, i mentioned about uploading photos regarding yesterday's accident, but i didn't post.. haha. so here goes.
the bloody cab that rammed the one i was in from the back.. : the cab that i was in.. :
nice huh. keke. but the backache and all.. i'm more or less alright le. i still can't look all the way to my left though, but it's still better than yesterday.
hm.. sometimes, god [let's assume that i believe in the existence of god when i obviously don't.] really loves to make a fool out of people. maybe things happen for a reason i don't know. but seriously, i can't stand to see history repeating itself. it didn't really hurt when it happened in the past, but if it happens again, i might be torn apart. okay, i might be exaggerating, but it's gonna hurt if that really happens. don't ask me about it ba, might be thinking too much again, so i shan't say anything.
why are some people so alike and yet so different?
hm, maybe too much is happening at once ba.. my brain's overloaded. medical problems plaguing my family and myself included, my own personal relations, my finances [or lack of finances, rather recently], friendship with a few people.. seriously i don't feel like giving any damn to anything at all, just do as i like, but for some reason or another, i'll never get the chance to do what i like. different situations demand different reactions. if i were expected to give a smile, i'll have to smile. if i can be there for someone, i'll be there for someone, even if i don't have to. the many obligations of lim kan wei. nice huh.
bumped into qihui and junling when we were leaving the theatre after the movie. qh's actually applied makeup. genuinely surprised, but we didn't manage to talk cos the rest were leaving, so i had to follow. seeing her brought back some memories la. haha. and a few random thoughts came to mind and refused to budge.
i'm really tired. yet another obligation tomorrow to fulfill, but if it improves things, i guess it's a good deed done. for a good friend as well. =)
btw, i asked nor to remind me and i guess he forgot.
i discussed with jason a couple of times before.. he suggested going to taiwan during oct, after our attachment.. if we scrimp a little during a week or so there, about 800 SGD including air tix should be enough. so, anyone of you on for it? haha. i've mentioned it to nor, and he's alright with it. so that's the three of us. keke.
so yeah, that's all. today was good and bad, i guess. =/
reminder: remind kailin to make reservations at noon. reminder: sms killua the meeting time and place. reminder: transfer the chalet vid into thumbdrive.
KNS!!!!!!!!! THE LEFT OF MY BACK HURTS LIKE FUG. ALL THE WAY UP TILL MY NECK. THEN ALSO GOT A BAD HEADACHE.. though admittedly, it's gone now la. LOL. but the backache's still there. =((
i'll talk about that later.
yesterday was a pretty good day. =DD and night. LOL. =x
woke up an hour later than usual, then rushed out.. but not bad, reached the meeting just in time.
then jeffrey [the manager] was showing the rest a slide.. which i didn't notice when i first went in, cos there weren't enough seats.. so i went back out, found a chair, pushed it in, then i read the slide that the 10++ of them were staring at for the past few minutes.
"What goes around the world but always stay in a corner?"
lol. then i meant to whisper to jason, "stamp la!" but the guy beside him heard it, and announced, "ya hor. stamp!" and i got the prize.. -.- some ibm name card holder.
then the meeting started officially, introduced ourselves as the interns, then just stoned while jeffrey ranted on and on.. then a brief break, and the people from juniper networks came in and introduced their switches. LOL.
kns. the guy took 10++ minutes to talk about the first part sia. then the content page he showed us consisted of ... around 7 parts at least? gawdly. but heng, he finished talking about the switches liao, the laojiaos began shooting questions. then through the questions, more or less he covered what's necessary la.. i was damn worried about him talking about the history of juniper la, the junos operatiing system, etc. kns.
okay. then they ordered sakae sushi for lunch.. i had a few la.. for the sake of it. then went back to office to rot.. jiade and jason went on site separately. so left with me and jasmine. then i expected to go off after the meeting ma.. then i didn't bring my thinkpad with me.. =/ gg.
then nua-ed abit.. then 3 plus, ranjini called up jasmine to ask for help at 5pm. -.-
kns, i was aiming to go off at 5. then bo bian lo. rot until then.. then went to help out with tagging..
okay. did what's there to do, then went off.. went douby ghaut then just nice met ly on the way. keke. then reached PS le, met up with nor and yw. then followed by pp, will, jason and wq. had dinner then watched rule #1.. but watched without wq though.
the show arh.. okay okay ba, i guess. not that scary, but still got its merits la. just that the baby part is quite gross. =/ kns.
woke up at 8 sia. then chionged out, but still quite not possible to reach in time so i took a cab lo. but then.. -.- kns sia. halfway on the PIE, some bloody cab buanged the one i was in. i took picts somemore. upload later when i get home. =x lol. shit sia, the what shit buckle your seatbelts thing. i think i'll kena worse if i buckled up at the back. cos i hit the back of the front seat when i kena buang ma.. then the impact also reduced a little. else i think i can't even go for work today. -.-
and yes, ibm should give me a pay raise goddammit. LOL. i still so nice to report for work after accident sia. LOL.
but okay la.. da nan bu si, bi you hou fu~ hohoho~
will update more about today in another post when i get home. keke.
the heart eagerly flutters, in search for a place to rest its tired wings. for years it flew, to find acceptance; and for years it was denied, much to its reluctance.
for the briefest moments, it made brief landings on what seemed suitable grounds, only to find them treacherous beyond imagination.
finally, from far, the heart spied a spot, where it seemed unvisited. hovering right above the spot, the heart hesitates. will it be able to make the spot flourish or will it gradually leech its resources till it's nothing more than a wasteland.
the heart makes up its mind and approaches to land. but alas, the previously welcoming spot appears to tremble and is shirking away from fear. the more the heart tries to land, the further the spot is to the heart.
^^ the above is quite badly written. =/
anyway, regarding the op, it's just something extremely minor. the only fatal risk is when the doctor goes crazy and starts chopping me up, else i'd be perfectly fine. =/
sorry about the story huh. or the lack of one, that is. since i wasn't bored enough to write one just now.
going for a meeting tomorrow morning, so it's to ibm i go~~ keke.
after which, i'd be watching rule#1 with the rest. fwahaha.. =D
gonna take mc today.. woke up with a terrible stomach la.
took a long time in the toilet when i was bathing.. then prepared everything le, went downstairs..
and turned back and chionged to the toilet again. -.-
THEN, i thought it was all good again, went downstairs, saw that i'm about to be late, so decided to take a cab..
wait halfway and i decided to come back home for my new best friend - the toilet bowl.
so yeah, i'd be literally shitting all over the place if i were to go work today. =x
and i think i'll be going for an operation on a problem that's been plaguing me since young. =(( hope i don't die in the process. and they better use anesthetic. -.- or i'll really die. :'(
nyahaha. didn't go to uob alexandra this morning. keke.
went back to ibm office to get the shitty thinkpad looked at. wah lao lo. waste time sia. i already turned up at the helpdesk, the guy asked me to make a call then they'll call back then i bring the thinkpad to the helpdesk. o.0. quite brainless, seriously.
so anyway, that was what i did la. then just nice, vincent [supervisor] allocated some task for us to do on friday, but we were only able to access our lotus mail [ibm email software] when we're in the office, so i joined the three of them lo.. jason, jasmine and jiade. just to look through a network diagram and the corresponding configuration of the four switches there and try to spot the errors. i managed to point out one crucial error la. based on the configuration, there isn't any switch which is designated as the vtp server, so it couldn't possibly propagate changes in the vlans, hence intervlan routing is not possible.
nyyaa. requested for a change of site, for my own sake. i don't mind slacking all the way till may in alexandra, but the bloody first draft of the interim report is due on may 12. i'll die a terrible death if i were to continue slacking there. but i'll still have to report to uobab tomorrow. wait to see how vincent negotiate with menghow. but okay de la. they also don't need me there de. kekeke.
REMINDER: to go bukit panjang plaza to check out the price of LG KS20 and the trade in price of my LG KU970. then go to fajar to get some misc. stuffs. heehee.
i'm not feeling that philosophical today, so not much of a read for today la. keke.
I MIGHT have a story tomorrow, but see how it goes la. ;)
hm. i'm someone who's quite particular about languages, that i will tend to correct a person if i see him/her using a word wrongly, or thinks that a word that is spelt wrongly is correct, etc. it's just my pet peeve [a cause of annoyance] la.
for quite some time, there's this guy who loves to flaunt off his awful command of japanese in the forums that i frequent, so at times, out of kindness and intolerance, i'd correct him, then he'd make up some excuses that he self taught himself the language through books, so okay, i didn't insist on any further.
then yesterday, he was on at it again. then i corrected him again, and he insisted that he was correct and began insulting the school where i took my lessons from. it's a pretty respectable school in singapore, actually. Bunka Japanese Language Centre. but i didn't tell him that though. then he was demanding why the need to emphasize on a petty difference between 'to' and 'tou', so i typed out in japanese for him to see: と and とう. a petty difference of one extra kana [character], which means alot, actually. then he said, 'it's not meant to be written', or something along that line. so he actually learnt a form of japanese that wasn't meant to be written huh.. but again, i didn't argue on any further, and just said, oh okay.
he didn't relent though, and just kept on insulting 'whichever third grade school' i was from. but i just ignored him la. wasn't in the mood to play around with a dumb fug as of yet. otherwise i'd have kept myself plentifully entertained. keke.
and just now. he was complaining about how was he supposed to act as a friend from poly to another forumer as both of them were going out with a friend of the second forumer, who apparently dislikes forumers. then he was saying, 'should i say i was a poly dropout and went to bishan ite' [he was from that ite, and haven't been to poly before at all]. then i was puzzled, so i asked, 'it's not like you're going for a matchmaking session. just say hi, and introduce your name would do ma.'
then he retorted that he's not as antisocial as me. keke. i'm one of the least antisocial person i know, in my opinion. keke.
after he came back from that outing, someone asked him how did it go, he said he was like a ghost to the other two, and just trailed behind them for the whole duration. so i replied him, 'sociable huh.'
and he made up some excuse again, what he was forbidden to say that he's a forumer, etc etc. loads of bullshit. who the hell would ask so much about someone he/she just met for the first time?
but again, not in the mood to play with him, so i chose to ignore him again.
might be reading too much into things that are happening on a website, but seeing that i've met and got along relatively well with most of the forumers there, can say that i've befriended a few already. but more or less there's a prejudice when you were to introduce a forumer friend to your own friends, "hi, this is XXX, i got to know him through an online forum." haha. they'll go, 'nerd', 'otaku', etc type of stuffs. but heck la. it's just a media to get to know more people, and to gain more sources of information.
mainly just something to kill time while staying at home la, to be honest.
okay. there was something wrong with my blog last night but i've solved the problem so yeah. it's alright now.
went to sentosa with william, norvin, jason, liying, wenqi, yingwei and peipei yesterday. LOL. had dinner in kfc at harbourfront centre, followed by suntec food fair, followed by chocolate fondue in andersen's icecream. =/
was quite fun ley. hee.. =xx
okay. tomorrow will be better~~ muahaha. i'm going back to ibm office to get that shitty thinkpad fixed, so i won't be going to uob alexandra building to do nothing. nurhurhur.
oh ya. speaking of which, i've to do my weekly report now. gonna make use of my storywriting skills to cock up things that i did when i haven't done any. =((
had a good chat with wenqi and william separately on msn last night. keke. like what william's nick is showing now, hopefully an ideal ending would come in the end. but since when would things happen the way we want to in our lives? the innumerable things that we desire have even more insurmountable obstacles preventing us from achieving our desires. nothing in life is ever simple.
if relationships were just something as simple as two people liking each other without any considerations, then i'd like to see a real life example.
the girl might have a trauma from the previous relationship. the girl might have been betrayed but is still too reliant on the guy to move on. the girl might have no prior experiences and doesn't know how to react to advances. the guy might be still too inexperienced and immature. the guy might be still too hesitant in taking initiatives to make the first move. the guy might be still too worried about not being able to meet up to the girl's expectations.
different persons, different obstacles that they have to face within themselves. wouldn't it be nice if things were much more simpler?
世界中いくつの 愛の形あるんだろう [sekaijuu ikutsu no ai no katachi arundarou] There exists many different forms of love in this world.
haha. i wonder if the one on the receiving end realises the little things i do to express my form of love. =x
Love can touch us one time, and last for a lifetime, And never let go till we're gone. Love was when I loved you, one true time I hold to.
lawl. yesterday night was abit chaotic. keke. =/ sorry wor. =x
met up with liying and norvin for dinner yesterday night. LOL. quite funny, now that i came to think of it.
me: where are the assholes? [referring to the waiters.]
norvin: *raises his hand*
LOLL. wth. he admitted it so readily sia. =x
anyway, on the way to work just now, i saw someone who looked like my lower sec maths teacher. or maybe she really was. LOL. reminded me of the old times lo.
can drag a line with fours words for over 5 seconds. then she also too lucky liao la. the three classes she taught, 2 of them are.. =xxx quite notorious. the top class and the last class. i was in the top class, but behavior wise.. errr. LOL. then lydat lo. failed maths for the two years she teach sia. i can get 1/40 marks somemore. so yeah. then i always spend the maths lessons, sleeping. but okay la, she's too good natured already. then kena bullied. then she quit teaching after two years with us. =/ heard from somewhere that she went to IMH for depression. =x
but still a rumor la. so not entirely sure what happened. but should be she retired la. she's also about 60+ at that time.
life in sec school was damn fun lo. hahaha. then come to poly.. the first year.. won't say that it's fun, but it's more like, just the passing of days lo. huo yi tian, guo yi tian. lydat. abit sian, but then things begin to pick up during year 2.. then until now lo. hee. now really become quite fun le. with many things happening as well. =/ huan nan jian zheng qing hokay! =xx
nyaa nyaa. anyway regarding the stories.. i changed my mind. i shan't continue the random story. LOL. getting too personal liao. hohoho. but as for part four, still lack of materials to write, so i don't think i can write anything for some time.

LOL. so in a way i'm glad for the flickering screen. other people can't tell what i'm typing. kekeke. and i have enough confidence in my typing that i don't really need to double check what i'm typing. kekeke. i'm looking at chenwei updating the excel shits while typing this. LOL.

will update this entry again when something noteworthy comes up. =D
“I like you.” “Stop joking.” “… I’m serious. I really like you.” “Sorry.” “Nah, it’s okay. I just thought that I should let you know.” “Hey, you’re a really nice guy, but I’m still not ready for this yet.” “Yeah, I understand.”
Andy closed the conversation window, sighing in resignation. He then went the bathroom and let the tap run. Letting the chill of the cold water get to his head in order to numb his feelings, for what seemed like an eternity.
“Once again, I’ve gotten rejected. You would have thought that I would be used to it by now,” Andy thought to himself. Turning off the water, he dried his hair and stepped out of the shower. He shivered in the chilly wind. It was already 2.30am.
He opened up the online forum that he often frequents, and said, “Hey guys, I’ve got to go. It’s getting late. All of you try to get some sleep, okay?”
He refreshed the page for new replies and there was one, “Are you alright? I’m really sorry.”
Andy could not think of anything to reply and decided to go offline, at the same time; he could get a tiny little revenge on the girl who rejected him by making her feel guilty.
But try as he might, he just could not fall asleep. He ended up spending the few hours left till dawn playing games that he no longer cared about.
Somehow or rather, the word spread within the forums and the forumers began to tease them at every little opportunity. This caused considerable embarrassment to them, even when they meet up every now and then.
“Hey, I’m really sorry about this.” “About?” “All the teasing you’re getting.” “Oh, it’s okay. I’ll just ignore them.”
Andy wondered if he should be glad that she was taking those in her stride or not. It made him seem insignificant that she did not seem to be affected despite the teasing. The more he dwelled on it, the more he got depressed.
Few days later, she had a talk with Andy.
“Oh my God, I can’t stand it anymore!” “What happened?” “Some guy from the forum. I just commented that I’m hungry, and he’s offering to treat me to dinner when he has never even met me before!” “Ha-ha. Then just reject him?” “I did. Said that I didn’t want to go out at this time and he offered to order mcdelivery for me.” “What the… isn’t there a less obvious way of asking for your address?” “Precisely! He thinks that I’m a three year-old kid or something.”
Somehow or rather, despite the fact that Rena was not strikingly beautiful, she manages to elude a charm that attracts many guys to her. Andy was not an exception. Unknown strangers were not spared as well, just by conversing with her through a forum or MSN. After the rejection, Andy and Rena became less close than before, but Rena would still consult Andy whenever such events happen. And one by one, Andy would help Rena resolve them, by being the bad guy. And indeed, one by one, they left Rena alone and the forum itself as well. Eventually, both of them got used to the procedures to take when some unknown appears to become friendly with Rena. Andy would then talk to the person in the forum with words dripping full of sarcasm that the person would only realize that he's being ridiculed only after everyone was done laughing at him.
Not everyone who caught wind of Andy’s liking for Rena made fun of them though. A few of them tried to give Andy a helping hand. Xavier and Victor, for example, often gave him advice from their perspectives. However, indirectly due to them helping, the friendship between Rena and Xavier became a little strained. Of course, it was at the same time, due to various things that happened that they were not as friendly as before. This, Andy knew fully well, but he was unable to help improve things between them.
This platonic friendship between Andy and Rena carried on for a few months, with Andy’s feelings for her slowly ebbing away. Then, the news broke that Rena patched up with her ex-boyfriend whom she broke up a few months before Andy got to know her. He has met the ex-boyfriend on a few occasions and the impressions he got from those few were not pleasant. He had voiced his concerns out to Rena before, but she insisted that he treats her very nicely, and Andy did not argue any further. Upon hearing the news, Victor was immediately concerned about Andy. But to his surprise, and even Andy’s as well, Andy was not as affected by the news as they both thought he would be. Probably deep inside, he had already given her up. And he knew, somehow, that even if he waited and waited, Rena would never come to fall for him. He loved her, which is without a doubt. But that verb is now a past tense. The feelings he had for her would never resonate as strongly as he had at the start, but they were still present. Whenever Rena gets sad or depressed, Andy will not hesitate to help her, to console her, but he would be only that. He’d only be a listening ear, a confidante to her, and nothing more.
At the same time, due to various happenings occurring in Andy’s life, he got closer to his friends and they began meeting up frequently. And among them, there’s this girl, whom he had never paid much attention to before, as she was not someone to be caught in the limelight, but she would be there, silently standing by the side, supporting her friends. Perhaps it was Andy who first got attracted to her, and perhaps it was him, being too sensitive, but he felt that he was receiving mixed signals from her. That he could not be sure whether the girl has any interest in him or not, but he was sure that even though he does not like her yet, but his feelings for her are gradually beginning to grow. He was in a dilemma, on whether to pursue what could be a wild goose chase, where it ended up in him ‘thinking too much’.
English translation: Hey, haven’t you seen another shape besides this one? That’s so sad To you, there’s no desire to die or to kill, oh, please
Drink it up, even the fate, to the sinking sea My wishes, ride on the wind, ring the bell of the daybreak Just like a bird My wishes over their airspace Cross through the countless number of waves, stand against tomorrow, protecting you My life I trade in for your pain Stop the dispute!
Hey, why people pile up the repeating mistakes? No one is evolving, this flowing blood, I loathe it most To judge each other by instinct, in this no-one-around earth
If the clear future has come, the flower plants will also dwell in the weapons My wishes over their airspace Anyone, shake me up, wake me up from the nightmare If it comes true My life I trade in for your pain How long until my prayers reach the sky?
Now the morning glow pictures the ocean and me
My wishes, ride on the wind, ring the bell of the daybreak Just like a bird My wishes over their airspace Cross through the countless number of waves, stand against tomorrow, protecting you My life I trade in for your pain Flap your wings without turning around, bring along these thoughts, fly to that sky The future can’t be defeated by anyone
okay, this wasn't as detailed as i'd have liked. but again, it's still abit too sensitive so i won't delve too deep into the details.
and bloody hell, the t30 thinkpad ibm lent me sucks. the screen keeps flickering like shit. does shit flicker? no idea.
anyway. finally i got to do something in the office today.
got to draw up a simple spreadsheet, which i've completed. within 2 minutes? -.- it's not filled in yet, but i guess it'll come tomorrow.
then i spent the past 2-3 hours attending some stupid meeting/briefing which in essentially has nothing to do with me whatsoever. "watch and learn," they say. i watched and learnt nothing. =/
nyaanyaa. had to borrow minghow's laptop to check movie timings just now. lol. he abit blur sia.
"Minghow, can i borrow yours [points to laptop] to access the Internet to check something?"
"Huh? But mine is singtel one leh." [singtel's one cannot just plug and play, apparently. but that's not the point here.]
"-.- Yeah, that's why, [points to his laptop again]
"Oh, oh. You use my screen is it? Orh, go ahead, go ahead."
faints. =/ he's one of my supervisors btw. i'll die if he reads this. LOL.
i can barely see what i'm typing right now. the screen's flickering worse than shit now. !@#$%
lousy piece of shit.
waiting for 6pm to leave. =/ which is.. about 10 more minutes, give or take.
but it's raining. -.-
and the old birds are still discussing.
it's going to take long.
and they are not distracted by my typing.
damn.
objective failed. =((
"once the server is down, you can start disconnecting."
"blah blah blah"
"blah more more more."
"and more blah"
"insert hokkien"
"insert english"
"you want me to talk to him?"
[no dammit, shut up.]
"nyaa nyaa nyaa."
[can i go? =(]
"about 9.45, servers are all down.."
ARHHHH~
can die. =/ /wrist
buai buai. the flickering screen is killing my sight.
okay. i just took a short vid of how my screen is flickering. i'll upload to youtube when i get home. =/
it's damn bad la. wah lao.
so byebye.
tadaah. not very well taken, cos it'll look damn strange if i started take a video of my screen all of the sudden. but notice the edge of the explorer window. it's wavy right. LOL. fugging piece of shit, i swear. -.-
just got back from meeting up with the rest. hm.. i can't help but to question about someone's objective of meeting up, but i shan't say more about it. seems to be making matters worse. creating more ripples in troubled waters. =/ just some random phrase i came up with. keke.
so there. that's about it for tonight. nurhurhur. will share another song, which is coincidentally another opening of the gundam 00 anime. l'arc-en-ciel's daybreak's bell. in another post. =/
btw, part four will be on hiatus for a moment. waiting for things to develop, else my short stories will really be short. =/
DISCLAIMER: This is a purely fictional story. Any similarities or resemblances to real life events are purely coincidental. ;)
Usual Characters:
Alex - An apparent nice and friendly guy, but there seems to be a side to him not known to others... yet.
Carol - An apparent innocent and naive girl, but is actually more matured in her thinking then she appears.
Janice - Carol's good friend. Seems to be blur most of the time, and actually is. But she is firm about her own likes and dislikes.
Ben - An admirer of Carol's. Is fiercely loyal and faithful, and will always be there whenever his friends need help, but is often unappreciated and left out at times.
Pat - Carol's good friend. Is extremely friendly and approachable. Tries to bond her friends together. Her actions and words are at times easily misunderstood, but she's reasonable and forgiving enough to resolve the misunderstandings.
Suzie - Carol's good friend. Also friendly and approachable. Tends to be loud and bossy, but usually gets her way with people because she doesn't have ill intentions at all.
Jay - On good terms with generally everyone and is well respected by his friends as he is several years older in age and thus more matured and tends to have an objective outlook on events.
Jacky - An IT whiz. Fond of experimenting with various software, exploiting bugs and loopholes in security, which ends up in him doing things that might not always be legal.
Wake - [Modeled after myself, obviously] A deep and quiet person who tends to keep things to himself as far as possible. Is usually detached from various events as much as possible, but will be observing them silently at one side.
Leann - Carol's good friend also. Tends to be forgetful. Prioritises her friends over self most of the times. Appears to be nonchalant about whatever events that happen, but is actually more inquisitive and observant than what she lets on.
Robert ñ Wake and Benís good buddy. Acts stupid most of the time and is usually is. Tries to be goofy and cheerful to lighten up the situation.
Zack ñ Buddies with Wake, Ben and Robert. Appears to be quiet and aloof, but he cares more about his friends than he shows.
New Character:
None as of yet.
Extra characters: i'll add them as when i like, but i'll roughly describe them when i add them.
Wake, sensing something did not seem right, decided to discuss with Leann, Janice and Ben after realising that Carol knew about what had transpired within the past few months. There, they came to a decision to go down to Carol's place to see if she was truly alright. Leann and Wake went down as they stayed the nearest, and Wake felt responsible for breaking the news to Carol.
Outside her doorsteps, the both of them waited for Carol to open her gates, but she refused to acknowledge their presence initially. So they waited. Two waited for her to open up, while one waited for the two to leave. Eventually, their patience paid off and Carol relented, coming down with them to the void deck to have a little chat.
"Who knows about this?"
"Only those involved knows..."
...
Slowly, she began to ask more questions and then she cried, for a long time while Wake and Leann watched on, shivering in the chilly wind.
"I still want to continue on with the relationship." she said, wiping her tears away.
"HUH?!" Wake exclaimed.
Leann gave Wake a glare, and said, "It's your own decision to carry on with it or not. But our consensus is that you should break up with him."
"Yeah, break up with him please." Wake injected.
"Why must break?" Carol retorted.
"W-Why? Must I still say a reason?" Wake said.
"Isn't it more than obvious enough?" he thought to himself.
He relented, and said, "Okay, obviously all of us don't want to see you together with someone like him anymore. You deserves someone better than that. But, if you still want to carry on with him, by all means, go ahead. But we'll be there for you whenever you need us."
"Thanks." she smiled.
.....
After chatting for a short while more, Leann and Wake sent her home and went on their way home.
Fatigued, Wake dozed off soon after he updated Janice and Ben about what happened, and he woke up only about 10 to 11 hours later to find a sms waiting for him.
"It's a fact that i've been a jerk to say things to them behind her back ..."
blah blah.
"What the hell. Say so much to me for what." Wake thought.
Drowsily, Wake switched on his laptop and the moment he signed in, Alex initiated a conversation.
Alex: "Hey, you want us to break, huh?"
Alex: "Did you receive my sms?"
Wake: "..."
Wake: "Yeah, to both questions."
Wake: "But it's not my intentions that matters. It's her own decision that matters. I'm not going to influence her."
Alex: "Yeah, thanks."
Wake then noticed that Alex was appearing offline throughout the conversation.
Wake heaved a sigh of relief. Now at least most of it are out in the open, and they did not have to keep on worrying about what to do next.
"Right now," Wake thought to himself, "there's only one more part to this story that's still waiting for that stupid guy to write."
shall share a jap song by the brilliant green: Ash Like Snow.
hooked to their songs recently. kekeke. the english translation of the lyrics are below.
The sky is dyed red by the ebony darkness, And the distant stardust swallowed up, In this transient moment as the snowing ashes fall.
I watched it through the window of grief. I never dreamed I stand frozen. there… I come for you.
My hopes were alone in the desolate night sky, They soared high until they were crushed. Each time the world changes shape, The things I want to protect, I end up breaking them.
Oh, the sinful darkness tugging at my heartstrings, Your voice is like anaesthesia, Coldly, it robs me of my senses.
No matter how we pursue our differences, It never ends. Why do I have to fight?
Even if the light is extinguished, Even if this earth disintegrates, I won’t ever forget: That tiny wish, It will guide us to our ideal place.
there I come for you yeah Ash Like Snow is falling down from your sky Ash Like Snow Let me hear… why I have to fight?
My hopes were alone in the desolate night sky, They soared high until they were crushed. In exchange for glory that triumphs over darkness, I have given up many things I sought to protect. (It’s falling from your sky) This is too futile. (Baby I come for you)
Every time the scattered broken pieces cut me, Deep down in my closed heart, I choose to grow stronger. And I came this far.
hm.. i seemed to have achieved my main objective of writing the short stories. =/
but i will just carry on writing part two ba. but whether will have part three or four, it still remains to be seen la. keke.
those who know what happened, good for you. those who don't, good for you also. keep it that way. =)
haha. hm yeah, i became the devil's advocate in the end. said whatever that needed to be said, did whatever that needed to be done. so in the end it's all up to her liao. though honestly i think she deserves someone better, but... not up to us to decide what's good for her.
nyaa. i guess it's better now that everything's out in the clear. headache sia, for one to two weeks. =x
so anyway, i slept damn soundly on saturday night la.. or rather, early sunday morning. wah lao. at least 10 to 11 hours. i don't remember what time i dozed off though. then woke up and saw the few smses. just replied those that deserved replying, and ignored those that don't. =xx
yeah, so went out and meet liying, since she's out already and she's going g2000 also, so might as well. keke. went to suntec, which was a stupid decision, thanks to all the people going IT show. -.-
got my clothes and all, thanks to her sis' card sia. 200+ become 140+. heng. =DD went to marina sq cos she wanna exchange some shirt. saw quite a few weird people/kids on the way. one slide here and there. one run and fall down, get up and fall down again, two dancing away, one woman in office attire carrying a bolster on her back, etc. =/ omg.
so yeah. all's said and done, then we went to find yingwei at great world city.. then had dinner at tiong bahru, and go home riaos.
so now, i'm currently stuck in the office. sian sian sian. solitaire ftw.
OMG OMG OMG, GOT KIND SOUL DESU~!! I GOT NET ACCESS NOW LE. HEE!
btw, part 2 isn't that nice to write, so there's basically nothing there. but part 3 will be more detailed, i promise. =D

[Flashback]
“Hey, Janice, your phone’s ringing.”
“Huh? Okay…”
She took up her phone and checked the message.
“What the…”
She closed the message, and resumed shopping with her friends.
[End of flashback]
While driving back home, Wake received a phone call.
“Hello?”
“Are you home already? I’ve something to tell you…”
……
Deep in thoughts, Wake started his MSN on his computer. As in they were waiting for him, he got pulled into a group conversation. Zack then shot off a bunch of questions while Ben was throwing curses around.
Wake tried to explain what he knew about the incident over at the retreat and Zack suddenly interrupted.
“Never mind, Pat just called.”
“Oh okay. Then there’s no need for me to say anything more.”
“Yeah. That bastard’s going to get it good from me.”
Ben then joined in, “Anytime you’re going to give it to him, call me along.”
“Don’t. Don’t make matters worse.”
…
The conversation carried on, with Wake trying to get Ben and Zack to calm down when he agreed with both of them deep inside. But what was stopping him from joining the two was that someone will get hurt emotionally in the process.
Meanwhile, Jay and Jacky who were the first to know, decided to do something. Jacky decided to show off the fruit harvested from the seed he planted, but Jay was more rational about it and he advised Jacky to be patient, and use it only when the time is right.
Jay then decided to investigate more about the person’s behavior prior to the incident, and through probing here and there; he managed to uncover more about him prior to the incident.
He then casually asked a few of the female colleagues to find out more, and he managed to find out that various messages with questionable content were sent to them.
[Flashback]
MSN:
“Hey, you miss me? Can date you out or not?”
“You ask my boyfriend first.”
“[Insert insults]”
Boyfriend glanced at Suzie’s screen.
“What the fuck?!”
[End of MSN flashback]
[Flashback]
SMS: “Hey, you miss me or not?”
“He’s damn irritating!!”
“Who?”
“Him!” shows Boyfriend the message.
“Enough is enough.”
Boyfriend takes phone and calls the guy and reprimanded him.
[End of flashback]
Soon, the handful who knew what happened, decided to warn the girlfriend of his actions but they had no idea how to break it to her properly. Eventually, even her close friends’ got wind of everything and were having difficulties restraining their urges in telling her. As if to make matter worse, their anniversary is arriving soon and they couldn’t bear to break the news to her when she was so looking forward to it.
And often, they will meet up as a few of them were sent to attend a five-month long course at different locations. Regrettably, they would not be working together for some time as it would be the other group’s turn when they go back to the company.
But to a few, it was a blessing in disguise as they did not want to see someone if they could help it.
…
However, things did not progress as they’d have wanted it to. By some twist of fate, the girl realized from the various hints that Wake and Ben dropped, she began questioning and soon, she found out the truth; just after her anniversary.
nothing much happened la, basically. just went to school to slack and chit chat with jason, norvin and liying..
then went KAP for dinner, talk cock sing song again then go home. LOL.
anyway, regarding the stories.. since i won't be posting part two for a while, at least until monday when i'm terribly bored over at the office, i'll try asking some questions just to invoke some thoughts.
1. who does Alex resemble? * 2. what do you think happened that caused Pat to react that way. 3. how does Wake realise who is the bastard Pat is referring to? *
*the clues can be found in the stories, both part one and onepointfive.
WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS ENTRY COS I'M TALKING ABOUT NOTHING IN PARTICULAR. STORY 1.5 IS AFTER THIS POST.
TGIF DUDES. ~~~~
kns, finally know the true meaning behind TGIF liao.
used to think, just the weekends nia ma, what's the big deal..
now, weekends are a big deal. ZZ!
consecutively five days of slacking while facing the laptop screen, in aircon rooms, wearing formal attire.
worse! the last two days without net access somemore. though i had it briefly yesterday. =/
quite funny lo. was saying that i was playing solitaire and hearts the whole day yesterday right. then right about when i was leaving at the end of the day. minghow, my other supervisor say, next time don't play games here.. will leave a bad impression of IBM people to the UOB employees. LOL.
so yeah, i can't play games now. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO~~ RAWRHRHARWH.
anyway, i came to work at 10 cos minghow said to. he said he wanna discuss with the other supervisors regarding what work to allocate to me. so i did, and it's already 10.51 and he barely said anything to me, other than him asking me what's my message ringtone, cos i was smsing jason and liying.
fyi, it's the anime lucky star's konata izumi saying "mitei mitei, timotei, timotei, timoteii~" a spoof of the timotei shampoo advertisements shown quite long ago. but i lazy to explain that much, so i just said it's some kid talking rubbish. LOLLL.
technically, the character is a kid, though the actual person saying it is two years older than me. and also, it's rubbish to people who can't understand japanese! so woots, i didn't lie. =/
so anyway, it's about 11pm now. and i don't think i'll get anything remotely related to networking to do, other than some documentation, which i also don't think i'll get to do anytime soon. they appear to be changing the schedule, so they're shifting back some dates to move the equipments, then somehow they're still updating the shits in excel. from yesterday until now. doesn't sound fun. besides, i'm not proficient in using excel also. i'm toopid de. =xx
btw, regarding my short story.. i seem to be lacking resources to type out everything ley. anyway, i'm not gonna touch on anything sensitive, i hope. keke. but still, wth la, i think what i've typed in part one is machiam compo in secondary school. got a kiddish feeling to it. should be cos i never really show the characters' feelings out. but then i can't be bothered to.. =xx cos my point isn't really to write a story in the first place.
kaes, enough of that. something's wrong with my ibm laptop. the thinkpad t60 i bought at NP, not the shitty T30 IBM gave me. the battery seems to have gone flat, so i thought i'd just charge it last night. then i woke up this morning but the battery machiam still flat. then i switched it on to check it out. but wthh, on halfway hang. windows is kns, i swear. then i took out the battery and test again, now never hang. then while it's still on, i put in the battery and it hanged. !@#$% screw them sia.
oh speaking of which, it's about a year since i've gotten my mbp. okay la, maybe around 9 months. my screen like got a little prob, maybe i'll just get it looked at in the weekends.. =(
i digress again~ speaking of screens right, i'm still looking for a good 32" LCD HDTV lo.. was considering LG, but a few i've spoken to doesn't seem to have good opinions on LG. the one i'm aiming for costs 1.5k approx. then IT Show is selling a few 32" from other brands. samsung's seems to be around 799 only lo. but i don't think it's a good one ba. =/ no idea. i've looked through the brochures from the IT Show already.. without going there, keke. LG only selling LCD monitors there.. no hdtvs. so, sadded. think i'll give this one a miss. keke.
what else, i was complaining to liying while on the bus here that it's damn hot and squeezy, but now i'm freaking cold in the office. =/ luckily i remembered to wear a jacket. keke. i think i look weird wearing my grey adidas jacket while in long sleeved shirt and pants, but to hell with it. LOL.
this is gotta be one of my longest entry ever in a while. except for the short story, but i not entirely sure which one is longer. both are in essentially talking about nothing, actually. is anyone still reading? keke. you must be damn bored huh.
don't feel like ending this entry just yet, cos i'd have nothing else to do. but not bad sia, i've been typing for twenty minutes already. keke.
no net access, no games, no work. /wrist i'll just occupy myself by constructing walls of text. LOL. at least time passes faster that way.
oh ya, almost forgot that i've got something else to type. we're meeting up again today. with exactly who i also not sure, but yeah. LOL. i'll be meeting liying, will, norvin at 6.30 at somerset mrt later. hm. think i'll just take 51 to queenstown then take the train down. think i'll be late though. =/ later i've to find out which direction goes where. sian.
lol. just realised. this period of time they've been documenting the shits. the current version of the shit is 3.1.1 already. and it was 3.0.9 when i left the office yesterday. LOL. godly.
had a little chat with william yesterday and i started off the conversation with this..
YOU SIAO ARH?!
=x cos his nick was something like "CCNA in 5months?CCIE first then CCNA, blah blah blah"
Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) is what we're learning in school now, during IN1 to IN4. WHEREAS, CCIE [i forgot what it stands for, Cisco Cxxxx Ixxxx Expert] is the highest level of certification in networking a person can get. it's also known as the most well respected certification, cos this is a certification that really certifies beyond any doubt of a person's skills in networking. i'm aiming to get CCNP though. Cisco Certified Networking Professional. kekeke. CCNA i'll take after graduating ba. since i started in this course, might as well go all the way right. CCIE like too troublesome to have, though it's actually worth all the trouble. there're only ten exam locations, and the nearest one will be in Beijing. o.0 hahaha. or maybe Tokyo. what else arh, oh ya. to take the exam, 1400 USD per attempt is needed, and usually people will take more than one attempts to pass the shit. so hohoho. song bo. how to take CCIE lydat. CCNP enough liao la.. i think.
nyahaha. really got nothing else to say, so bye. 11.33. kekeke.
i'm typing in notepad, btw. lol.
CONTINUED AT 5.47am, saturday.
just got home from celebrating peipei's birthday. haha. quite fun.. watched two movies at once. meet the spartans and step up 2.
wasn't expecting anything much from MTS, due to all the bad reviews, but i guess i should watch it with my own eyes just to be sure. but it'd really be better if we didn't watch that though. some scenes are funny, but the plot fails terribly. i'd still prefer the scary movie series if i wanted to watch a parody film.
but step up 2 was worth it. haha. imo, moose is the best dancers among them all lo, oh, and also the guy who won andy near the start of the show. recommended. =D
okay, this entry is long enough as it is, so ciaos. hee.
DISCLAIMER: This is a purely fictional story. Any similiarities or resemblances to real life events are purely coincidental. ;)
DISCLAIMER AGAIN: The parts are not arranged chronologically. And great emphasis is placed on the above disclaimer for the story below. =/
Usual Characters:
Alex - An apparent nice and friendly guy, but there seems to be a side to him not known to others.. yet.
Carol - An apparent innocent and naive girl, but is actually more matured in her thinking then she appears.
Janice - Carol's good friend. Seems to be blur most of the time, and actually is. But she is firm about her own likes and dislikes.
Ben - An admirer of Carol's. Is fiercely loyal and faithful, and will always be there whenever his friends need help, but is often unappreciated and left out at times.
Pat - Carol's good friend. Is extremely friendly and approachable. Tries to bond her friends together. Her actions and words are at times easily misunderstood, but she's reasonable and forgiving enough to resolve the misunderstandings.
Suzie - Carol's good friend. Also friendly and approachable. Tends to be loud and bossy, but usually gets her way with people because she doesn't have ill intentions at all.
Jay - On good terms with generally everyone and is well respected by his friends as he is several years older in age, and thus more matured and tends to have an objective outlook on events.
Jacky - An IT whiz. Fond of experimenting with various softwares, exploiting bugs and loopholes in security, which ends up in him doing things that might not always be legal.
Wake - [Modeled after myself, obviously] A deep and quiet person who tends to keep things to himself as far as possible. Is usually detached from various events as much as possible, but will be observing them silently at one side.
New Character:
Leann - Carol's good friend also. Tends to be forgetful. Prioritises her friends over self most of the times. She appears to be nonchalant about whatever events that happen, but is actually more inquisitive and observant than what she lets on.
Robert - One of Wake and Ben's buddies. Acts stupid all the time and usually is. Tends to be goofy all the time and tries to keep things fun and cheerful.
Extra characters: i'll add them as when i like, but i'll roughly describe them when i add them.
[Company Retreat]
A villa was booked to celebrate the company's successes for the year. Most of the employees of the firm turned up. At the same time, they celebrated the birthdays of the few whose birthdays fall on that month.
Leann, Wake and Alex turned up early to help out with the preparations. Soon, a handful of others came, including Janice, Ben, etc. They had a great time, and some went off to explore the place while some went to take a dip at the swimming pool catered for them. Time passed quickly and soon, it was night time, with everyone savoring the barbequed food.
After eating to their fill, most of them sat down to rest and chitchat, while a few played poker cards with others watching. But suddenly, they got adventurous and decided to go and explore their surroundings while it's dark outside. There they came across a desolated house and dared each other to go in, but only Wake, Ben and Jacky dared to go in, so they did. there, they used their handphone displays to lit their way. They weaved through the wild grasses waringly, with the faint lights illuminating their way. Suddenly, Wake detected movement, and he turned to see what happened, but he didn't manage to catch anything in the pitch black. Wake thought he was being too sensitive and decided to ignore it, including the ominious feeling that has been gnawing at him since the start.
After they made it into the entrance, they were comtemplating whether if they should step inside or go back, to the warm and inviting villa, but they decided to explore it thoroughly, in order not to make it a wasted trip, so they ventured into the darkness.
Graffiti dorned the walls of the house, with planks lying about. Pieces of glass lined the floor, and the ceiling, torned and tattered. The trio sensed a chill, and moved on slowly, not daring to even whisper. Jacky gestured to the room to his right, so we followed. There, they saw the walls and floor splattered by what seemed to be blood. Wake felt a shiver up his spine, but he didn't dare to move from the spot. It was then, that he heard footsteps approaching them. He looked at the two in front of him, still being intriqued by the dried blood, not moving a single step. Wake's head began to hurt and he urged the other two to leave that room quickly, so the two abided. The two still wanted to explore further, and Wake had to agree reluctantly.
The three of them climbed the creaking stairs carefully. There were missing steps along the way, and they could possibly get a terrible sprain if they put their foot through them.
There was always an extra set of footsteps behind them, Wake would notice. Just when they were about to reach the top, Wake felt someone tapped him hardly from the back. Wake froze. As if to make matters worse, a voice not belonging to either of them, spoke into his ear.
Wake took a deep breath, and tried to interpret what he just heard.
"YO?!"
He turned back and saw Robert's dumb face grinning at him.
Wake whacked Robert's head and turned back to join Jacky and Ben.
"You hit me for what..?" Robert complained.
Wake ignored him and kept on moving.
The place turned out to be empty of further surprises in the end, and they found buckets of red paint in the storeroom.
Then they came out of the place and went back to their villa.
But the feeling gnawing at Wake was still present.
........
They then had some wine to warm up their bodies, before resting for the night.
Few of them bathed, while the most of them were too tired to bathe. Two pair of couples went up to the bedroom to sleep, making the rest, who were mostly single uncomfortable to go up and join them to sleep. So they were sitting downstairs, resuming their chat and cardgames.
Wake then noticed that Jay, Jacky and Pat were sitting by the corner, with Pat still drinking. Pat seemed fatigued, so Wake approached her.
"Go up and sleep lo, if you're tired."
"I don't want to."
"Hm, why not?"
"I don't want to see him."
"Him?"
"That bastard."
Wake then got the cue from Jay and Jacky and decided to leave it at that, leaving them to console Pat who was trying not to cry.
Wake then thought about it for a moment and realised who Pat was mentioning about.
Finally realising the ominous feeling as what it is, Wake decided that it was best to keep quiet at the moment, and tried to go to sleep.
