IBM Thinkpad T30s are the worse laptops on earth man. =/ okay nvm. quite exaggerated.
right now, i'm surfing the net using the keys alone, because i don't have an usb mouse with me, the touchpad is disabled somehow or rather, and there's no way to enable it back on, AND the tiny red dot IBM is proud of, is spoilt and doesn't respond no matter how hard i try to bua it. =/
hokay. received a call this morning from the helpdesk for me to return the loan machine i am using right now, while my original shitty thinkpad is being serviced [the lcd screen and the motherboard]. so i went just now, and tried to return it. and they asked if i have received the original laptop back, so i said no, and it was really no. then they said the records say that it's with the user [meaning, me] now, so it should be with me. but really no la. wth. then they panic, ask around, throw arrows at each other. but luckily got one of them quite familiar with my case. imagine la, within 3 months i visited the place for.. 4 times, at least. hoho. so yeah, conclusion, they extended my loan, so i'm stuck with this mouseless laptop while they wait for the parts to arrive, they say [when in fact they are trying to locate the original laptop]. =/ hurray!
nyaha. it's 2.22. i will go off after i'm done with this entry. keke.
i'm not too sure if being observant is a good thing. more or less i am able to understand people abit better than average, but by being that, the tiny little flaws in people around me will seem more and more obvious each day, seeing that i am aware of their presence. and as time goes by, those flaws are the only things i see in everyone and i'll be blinded to their redeeming points. but familiarity breeds contempt. the more familiar you are with a friend, and the longer the time you spend with him/her, the more likely that you two will stop being friends. the closer you are with a person, usually, the more obvious his/her habits are to you. at first you might be able to ignore it, and brush it off as a one time thing, if it's something that don't agree with you. but how long can you ignore and brush it aside if his/her habits/actions persist? but which will you choose? to talk to him/her about it, or to try to keep a distance away from him/her?
witnessed countless of times of friends no longer being friends, when self-proclaimed brothers/buddies/sisters no longer talk to each other even when passing by each other. it's a pity, but it's just the way life is. if there's something as once a friend, forever a friend, then i think i'll have up to near hundred 'buddies' or friends. let's skip the kindergarten phase as i can barely remember anything from then. primary school, let's say i've .. hm. 20? then secondary school, the majority of the sec four batch, basketball club, dance [not that i was inside, but i was quite .. affiliated to the people there.], npcc [same as dance], the teachers, a handful of sec three juniors.. hm. i can't really count everyone, but at least also got 80 to 100 of them already. then come to poly, the three camps that i've been to, along with classmates.. =/ 200?
forget it man. abit cynical, but that's why i find it funny when i see people around me placing friends above themselves all the time. of course, when you give, the correct mindset is not to expect anything back. that's fine, cos it's the proper mindset, duh. but how long can you do that? forever? to give and not expect anything back? even if i can find one who is able to do that, i can safely bet i can't find one who can reciprocate him/her and do the same for him/her.
shit. i went out of point. -.- anyway, my point is that even though it's common for friends to fall out, it's still a pity to see that keep happening over and over again.
but of course, if you were to feel and see that everyone seems to be distancing themselves from you, try to reflect on your actions first. even, and just even if someone were to spread rumors about you, or maybe just voicing his/her own doubts about you loud, there's no smoke without fire. and honestly speaking, even if i usually were to stand one side and observe, it's sometimes difficult for me to remain neutral when my observations coincide with other people's comments.
2.55. LOL. i typed for half an hour or so seh. omg. sighs. nothing to rant about already.
i'm so bored.
OH OH. kns. i think i waited for a cab for an hour just now sia. super fucked. then the assholes keep jumping queue.. cos normally stand by the roadside and flag one ma. then assholes keep going a distance ahead of me to get the cabs, or they'll just cheat and call for cab. =/ but okay la. since i wasn't that urgent to reach the office so i didn't want to waste the extra 2.50 to call. =x
2.58. i shall go off. byebyebye.
