Rage unleashed..

This is such a terrible time, tens of thousands are dead within hours just because of a single earthquake. Perhaps the 'coffeeshop theory' is right, that the almighty Allah has been disturbed by too many Islamic extremists, thwarting the religion so that he decided to show who's boss after all. (no offence meant to anyone)

That's just rubbish talk from the coffeeshop anyway. We should thank our lucky stars, suns and moons that we are shielded from the full impact of the tsunamis by Sumatra. Just watching CNN play and replay video footage of floating corpses, fleeing villagers, surging waters engulfing resorts.. one scene was particularly disturbing. It showed a poster saying "Merry Christmas and a happy new year 2005" in the background and in the foreground was an overturned SUV.

I've a lot of mixed feelings right now, this is so so so unfortunate to all the people affected. I was listening to 93.3FM and the DJ if I'm not wrong was Liyi. I don't mean to be rude but I thought she said a really.. dumb comment. She was saying that year-ends are unlucky and such.. with this happening just before the New Year and.. Anita Mui's death around this time last year.

Why on Earth is she comparing a fricking NATURAL DISASTER with the death of a famous celebrity? There are at least 18,000 people dead in Sri Lanka .. this shouldn't be compared to Anita Mui's death in the first place which I believe was from cancer or some chronic disease. (Co-incidentally, prima donna #1 was saying year-ends are very suay because SQ-006 accident occurred during this period of time too.. which makes 12903789057120938 times more sense!)

Its tough being a DJ when you don't think deep enough. (shallow?)

That's all for this post! Tired from work!

www.patchnow.net

Before you actually go to the above link out of curiosity, please read on.

I've just re-installed my desktop PC from scratch and I'm using MSN 7.0 which is a beta version. So I just got this popup box which looks terribly legitimate and tells me that I have a critical security vulnerability which I must patch immediately. The only exception is that you are using WinME.

Anyway I'm 99% sure that if you install the "security patches" from that site, your computer will surely be installed with a backdoor/keylogger/bug/worm/parasite/virus etc etc.

Searched for info about this site on google and yahoo already but so far nothing about it. Which brings me to conclude .. DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FILES THERE PLS!!!

Expected results..

Just as expected actually, you reap what you sow. I also don't know how to plan my modules from here on.. but I got 2 takeaways already.

Now I don't even know if I can finish the degree in 3 years.. next sem definitely 6 modules already. Thought of quitting school at times but that would degrade me to a mere A level holder which is useless if I want to find a decent job.
I'll keep thinking.. :(

Stupid day..

Had to work like mad today basically, drove from home to Beach road, to Katong, to Geylang, Geylang East, Bedok, Beach Roach, home, Katong, Beach Road, Marine Terrace and finally home.

Its a fricking wonder I don't fall asleep on the drive home.

Listened to the world's 2 greatest prima donnas talk about how they wax and polish their car in the coffeeshop, not exactly my choice though.

On reaching home, helped dad to mow the useless rooftop lawn, after I plucked out the weeds for about an hour.

And the day ended off even worse..

Magic water??

Hehe.. my elder sis and me just applied some SK-II shen qi shui on our faces. My face being a little dry from being in an air con environment 24/7 on Sultan Shoal, certainly needs to be pom pom pom-ed with some ... I don't know what derivatives of yeast they put inside the SK-II thingy.

So I searched the most 'buang' part of my face which wasn't dry and I just applied it there. Which I decided was my forehead since my cheeks are very dry and the shen qi shui seems to be alcohol based. So that will only dry the skin further I thought.
Maybe tomorrow I will wake up with a perfect forehead.

Tomorrow I'll be going car shopping! yahoo!

Response to feedback

Hi 'anonymous' if you are reading this then.. er carry on?

Hmm first of all I'm not a Christian, whether you assumed or did not assume I was one in the first place. :)

2nd, er.. sometimes I think that common beings like us are incapable of containing too much pressure and workload and stress, that kind of stuff inside of us. So maybe I was just letting off some steam in that case by swearing at nobody in particular. Anyway I don't think I caused any offence and I'm sure none was taken! :p

Oh and if anyone could enlighten me, what's is the 'quote/verse/content' of Phil 4:13?

Alright cheers to all Christians and non-Christians out there!

Woo!

Finally a bit of academic excellence???

Dear GE1101E students,

Your names were forwarded to me by A/P Henry Yeung as having the best GE1101E Human Geography projects for Semester 1 (2004/05). I will be teaching the same module in the second semester, and am also the lecturer advisor for NUS Geographical Society.

The society is hoping to compile the best projects from select modules, with the intention to publish select pieces in Geosphere (the society's annual magazine) and other outlets. The essays could also be read by future students interested in understanding more about human geography.

If you are willing to have your paper published, could you send us a soft copy of the written project (with references and visuals)? Please direct your email to myself and the Geog Soc President (Kelvin Leong) and Hon. Gen. Secretary (Li Min) both cc-ed in this email. If you require further clarifications, please contact me.

With best regards, enjoy your vacation!
Dr TC Chang

omg, when I saw this photo I immediately recalled one of the lamest movies I ever watched, "ZOOLANDER". Oh yes.. this look is without a doubt.. "MAGNUM!" Posted by Hello

Sianz!

Humans are never contented.. like me for example. Its finally holidays but I have to work cos my poor dad is sick. He's been sick for 2 weeks already and I suspect he has been under constant siege from some weird unknown virus. That means I have to help him at work, or rather, REPLACE him at work.

FARRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKK. Ok that felt a wee wee bit better. Holidays = work.

Oh and I've got a whole new list of things to do!
In no particular order..

1. Repair laptop.
2. Repair TV.
3. Buy new hard disk.
4. Buy 4D because I finally got my first parking summons ($6)
5. Get new motherboard if I strike tomorrow/Sat/Sunday's 4D.
6. Get new monitor for the PC upstairs if I strike 4D.
7. Do the jigsaw puzzle. (Finishing might blind me)
8. Get a DVD Rom if I strike 4D.
9. Change my passport photo.
10. Return the Japanese books to Nick.
11. Change my specs frames.

The list is non-exhaustive.. haha
