bad bad people
Nothing much to update. My colleague sitting opposite me must have noticed that I have nothing to do. So she lent me books on Visual Basic. She had something to be done but since I don't know Visual Basic and the project deadline is soon, she doesn't want to risk handing it to me. *phew*Anybody learnt that in their course? If so, can someone lend me their notes or lab questions?
I might be moving to another department for awhile. There's nothing to do at the moment in the present department I'm in. My boss has gone to China and hasn't left any instructions.
These few days have been reading in the papers on how the whole hostage situation is with the terrorists. Letters to the forum. Well, mostly citing Philippines decision to pull out their army to save one man's life.
Most have said that it was a stupid decision. Coz the terrorists have taken more hostages after letting the poor man go. Personally, I don't think there's a right or wrong move in this whole issue. It was just a difficult choice to be made. Either save one man or save more people.
Bad people will always be bad. I was even half expecting that the terrorists wouldn't honour their word and simply behead that poor guy even if Philippines had pulled out their troops.
Bad people will always exist. There's no such thing as world peace as much as people pray for it everyday. Bad people exist in this world to bring balance. Yes, we can pray that there will be less of such people, less dark days but there will never be a total wipe out of such things.
Sometimes I just wonder what God would do. And this cartoon picture forms in my mind. God speaking in Singaporean language *which is like a jumble of dialects and broken English* go "*slaps everybody* Shut up! Nothing better to do is it? All teng chu kun!" Hokkien dictionary: Teng chu kun = return home to sleep And no, I'm not trying to use God's name in vain. I respect him a lot.
Just today, I read and heard of another suicide bombing. More depressing stuff. Don't like to watch the news anymore. Just makes me wanna cry.

azumi
Oh...you know what? Last night, Meizhi told me that I need not rip the movie. Only the trailer. Why didn't she say earlier...*wails* But anyway, I think I'm going to make a copy of the dvd. Few glances...I think the movie should be good. *turns to Per* You interested in watching?From the few glances, I think Azumi is supposed to be an assassin. Her mother died in the desert so this master chanced upon her and took her in, trained her to be an assassin. The only girl. Quite bloody...there's even one part where I think the group of 10 had to fight with each other. They had to kill their opponent...kinda like survival of the fittest.
Per is on cloud 9 since I said she looks all the more intellectual. But seriously, that is why I enjoy reading Per's and Pwen's blogs.
Yes...I also like conversations with substance. Don't get me wrong. Idle crap is ok so long as you don't go overboard. Talking crap all the time *and I mean ALL THE TIME...24/7* is like spouting rubbish non-stop. It only proves that you have nothing up there. Had a bad experience once...*note to 7ners: it was one of Fiona's many ex-boyfriends*
No, you need not use profound words. Nor talk of history and facts. Just normal everyday things. Things you go through in life. Experiences. What you think of a certain thing or topic.
One thing I've come to love in Streats *supplement newspaper...free*. I get to read that everyday coz there's a supply in office. I love to read the forum page. And also the "picture for the day". Everyday there's this feature photo. Not part of any article, just a short write-up of a few lines on it.

private
Yesterday was kinda a hectic day for me. I was meeting 7ners at City Hall to celebrate Per's birthday. Belated birthday. But I also had to meet Qi Yuan back at Tampines to hand him the ripped Azumi trailer.So had to rush back to Tampines by cab after work. I couldn't possibly ask Qi Yuan to meet me today. I've been dragging the date to meet already. And he needs the trailer for JCG's AGM tomorrow. From Saturday...to Sunday...and finally Monday.
Ripping the movie and trailer was no easy task. Takes about 2-3 hours to rip a movie. 3 tries in total but all failed for various reasons. Trust me, I was about to pull out my hair on Sunday.
Anyway, after meeting Qi Yuan, just nice met Per. So off we went to City Hall together. Passed her my whole S.H.E cd and vcd collection. By the way, I misplaced the cd for S.H.E's Together album. And I can't find eVonne's 3rd album...ARGH!
We went to Marina's Kenny Rogers first. Nad called to say they were buying Per's present. So yea...I was trying to find some excuse for the rest while Per wondered how come we ended up earlier at the restaurant. And Per is smart...I was afraid she would guess that they were buying her present.
Oh...Per got new glasses. Something like Cas's. Makes Per look all the more intellectual. Not that she isn't already. :)
Nice dinner. Yea yea...all the gossip too. Haha. Then came the photo-taking session. Manz...I think the guy who helped us take the photos has really super duper shaky hands.
Today I'm kinda lucky. I was planning to take a cab home after work. Instead of the usual MRT ride. By cab, I can reach home in 20 minutes. By MRT, about an hour. I was really very tired.
Well, at the last minute, my boss asked me to send this document to our department's people at the client side. ICA building at Lavender. Woohoo! That's already in the East. And by the time I sent the document, it was only 5.45pm and I could already go home. So I saved on the cab fare and part of the MRT fare. Since I took the MRT home from Lavender.
Why oh why does diaryland only have entry locking services extended to Gold and Super Gold members? Sometimes there are certain things I need to blog in private. Maybe letting only one or 2 close close friends know.

those shoes
Yea I know...no comments box for the previous entry. It happens sometimes...haloscan...don't know, only my blog.I'll keep this entry short since Sis is going to sleep already and wants me out of the room.
For those who want to see the Adidas shoes I got, haven't gotten round to taking a snapshot of it but Nad's got it up on her blog. Same pair. So head here.
Die lahz...haven't ripped the Azumi DVD and I'm meeting Qi Yuan tomorrow to pass him the ripped stuff. I'm such a procrastinator.
One last thing, all sacians and whoever else who read/studied "The Crucible". Was it mentioned that Putnam had a daughter? I only remember that 7 died at childbirth but was there a living child?
July 23, 2004 @ 12.46pm
*gasp* uncle ronald's smoking!
First things first. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DEAR PER! AND KEERA TOO! Woohoo! *throws confetti and dances around* May all your dreams come true. God bless!Ok...back to the usual blog. Yesterday, had dinner with Mum and Sis at PS. Mum wanted to check out the Christian music/book store there. Sis and I were actually very tired but since Mum's alone, we might as well keep her company. When I got on the MRT, I was actually planning to take-away from Swensen's and have a nice meal in front of the tv. But Mum called...
While queuing at the taxi stand, I spotted Uncle Ronald sitting on a bench near the queue. Doesn't it remind you of the times when you were kid, you'll climb onto him and sit on his lap or just sit beside him and your parents would take a photo? If by now you don't know what I'm talking about, what kind of childhood did you have? I'm talking about the statue of Ronald McDonald sitting on a bench.
It's sad but inconsiderate people have ended up using Uncle Ronald's lap to put out their ciggerettes. And when I looked up. My goodness! Uncle Ronald's smoking! Someone stuck a ciggerette butt between his lips and teeth. It was rather hilarious and I would have taken a photo but I didn't have my digicam with me.
Another issue I'll like to rant about. I think people have really no brains. Or the ones who use the coffee machine in the office have no brains.
The coffee machine is shared among all the departments on the 5th floor. Sometimes I go there to get milo or hot water. And sometimes I see cups lying around. Cups filled with coffee powder lying around. I think it's coz someone pressed the wrong amount of coffee powder/creamer/sugar. But the point is, why leave it lying around? Either you're to lazy to throw away the cup or you think someone else can use it.
If it's the latter then I gotta say the person really has no brains. What makes you think someone else would dare touch that cup? Just throw it away lahz. The bin is only next to you.
So I become part-time cleaner when I see those cups lying around. I can't stand mess unless it's my own. 7ners would know that since they saw me clearing everything at PK's chalet last year.

another long entry ahead
Tuesday was the first time in my attachment at NCS that I had to work overtime. Stayed till 7.30pm to finish up some stuff. Ah...the familiarity of it all. Reminds me of those times I stayed back in school to rush a certain project.Leaving the office at 7.30pm, I played the thoughts of whether or not to claim for transport in my mind. No doubt it'll cost around $2 only, but it's still money.
Coincidentally, Nad had to work overtime too to finish up her work for the day. So I waited for her at Tiong Bahru. We wanted to get the pair of Adidas shoes we were both eyeing on.
Well, as always, when I eye on a nice pair of shoes, it always turns out to be limited. For both colours, black and pink, they were left with the smaller sizes. Yep...so no shoes for Nad and I. But both of us are hopeful, counting on Nad's friend to help us check out.
2 weeks...the lady said the shoes...that design hit the shelves 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks and it's all almost gone. Nad and I were wondering, if the shoes are such a hit, then how come we don't see many people wearing it on the streets?
Had dinner at Long John's and then headed for home.
And as for yesterday, photocopying and binding this whole stack of stuff. My...the photocopier is so cool. It has a feeder. It hasn't got numerous trays to sort out stuff if you photocopy more than one set. But it's smart. It photocopies the first set. Then the next set falls on the first set but lower. Lower, higher, lower etc. So it kinda sorts out.
The functions...if you want to photocopy something double-sided, there's 1-2, 2-2. 1-2 means your document is all one-sided but you want to photocopy it double-sided. 2-2 means your document is double-sided and you want it to photocopy as it is. COOL~~~
Thank God for technology. It sure makes things so much faster. I won't mind having that photocopier sitting in my home. Or I could be the next photocopying lady, except for the toner that smells bad.
Then came the binding. Always remembered that the ones those shops have are all manual. The handle works the puncher and the binding ring. Well no...the one in the office is electronic. To punch the holes, you just gotta align your paper properly then step on this pedal. Something like a sewing machine. Hah...binding can be real frustrating until you get the hang of it. I contributed to the mass of confetti in the shredder. Once, I was happily punching holes in the paper and I didn't take notice so I punched on the wrong side. Then, there were the times I didn't align the paper properly so it punched the holes to close to the edge.
I was well into the second stack when I realised that the first stack, I added an extra piece of plastic behind which was not needed. Damn. Back to first stack...
After work, met up with Nad again. Just couldn't give up on those shoes. By then, I had given up on pink ones and decided to get the black pair instead. Checked out a few stores. From Raffles City all the way to Suntec. Ended up at the Citylink store where the salesgirl kindly helped us call up other stores. And so, Centrepoint still had our sizes. Off we went.
Wahahahahaha...now Nad and I have matching shoes!
Had dinner at this self-service ramen stall at Orchard Point. Headed for home.
I think we are destined to always get on the wrong MRT. Yea...kinda shame on us since we often use public transport. It happened once before. We got on the wrong MRT and coz it was crowded and we were sitting apart, I had to sms Nad to tell her to get off at the next stop.
So, this time round, we were at Raffles Place waiting to change trains to get on the East-West track. Talking talking talking. Then the MRT came. She was eyeing the many available seats. I was complaining that the MRT always came at the right moment...just when the other side also comes and people had to change trains, makes it more crowded. Don't know what possessed me but I decided to look up at the last moment. And my brain registered "how come the signboard is in red (North-South track)?" Quickly pulled Nad back before she stepped in the MRT. Ended up laughing so hard.
I'm feeling quite sleepy today. Now I know, sleeping at 11pm is the best for me. Trying to work that out. I've finished with Robert Bingham's "Lightning On The Sun". It was a book I borrowed to read out of curiosity.
Coz in Elizabeth Wurtzel's "More, Now, Again", she mentioned Robert Bingham and that book. How the character in that book died, he dug his own grave. And how Robert Bingham mirrored that character coz he dug his own grave, not literally but metaphorically. Robert Bingham died of heroin overdose. Perhaps somehow when he was writing the book, he was thinking of himself? Coz the main point of the story was how the character was into drugs and drug peddling, and ended up dead coz of a deal gone wrong. Story: drugs and life mixed together. Author: drugs and life mixed together. Wrong combination. Never goes together.
There's one more issue I'll like to blog about but I'll save it for later. Coz I see this entry growing longer and longer...haha...
July 19, 2004 @ 10.27pm
warning...long entry ahead
Promised those updates since last Wednesday. However, thanks to my "good" memory, I can only retrace back to Thursday onwards.Thursday...can't really remember much. Just that Jo and her PHP problems at the last minute. *lol*
Friday...I remember I was very tired. I never really believed that one could fall asleep while standing until it happened to me. My parents disappeared into the supermarket, asking me to wait for them outside. Waited a long time till I started to nod off while standing.
Saturday...met up with Nad. I never really have time on weekdays so weekends are all I got to meet up and have a good chat with friends. Had lunch at Taka's Coffee Club. After which, we decided to watch "Mean Girls". Nad watched it already but she didn't mind watching again. So sweet of her. :)
While we were queuing at the cinema in Cine, we saw Shebbrin in the next queue. Haha...and both of us didn't call her or anything. We just stared at her until she turned and saw us. The power of staring. Exchanged phone numbers. Promised to keep in touch now and then. And turns out she was queuing to buy tickets to the same movie! But tough luck, coz the timing we wanted, the tickets were sold out. The next timing only had available seats from the first five rows.
So Nad and I were racking our brains where else we could watch. We also wanted to check out timings and perhaps book tickets. Off we went to the library. Hah! Lousy...couldn't load the page for the timings. I suggested either Great World City or Tampines. She suggested Tiong Bahru. Yep...off we went to Tiong Bahru.
Got tickets and had time to kill before the movie started. Walked around the mall. The last time I came to Tiong Bahru Plaza was about 1-2 years back. Was with Per to watch the S.H.E performance.
Oh! And we saw this pair of Adidas shoes. Nad and I are going to get them. She's getting the black pair and me, the pink pair. Yay...so exciting.
Enjoyed the movie. Well, what goes around comes around. Be mean and you'll get it back. It's called retribution.
On the way home on the MRT, there was this couple like having a snog fest or something. My goodness, go find a dark spot ya? Yea I know you're showing your affection for each other but do it in private can? A quick peck is ok but not like total making out in public. -_-|||
And one good thing about Nad, she has a contagious laughter. When she laughs, it will make you wanna laugh too. Glad to see her happier. :)
Sunday...nothing much except James asked whether I would like to watch a movie. So we watched "Whole Ten Yards" at 8pm. Never expected the movie to be so funny. Especially coz the bad guy, that old mexican guy couldn't pronounce words correctly. So when he sweared "fuck you" it came out as "fook you".
There were 3 guys sitting in front of us. I don't whether they fall under the category of irritating or just plain normal people finding something so funny. They kept laughing out loud and repeating the "fook you" thing. Anyway, was too engrossed with the show to bother about them.
There goes the weekend and I still haven't ripped the "Azumi" DVD. Somebody...anybody...knows how to rip from DVD?
What I'm going to blog next, not sure if it's ok...so I think I'll just keep the name private. Well, recently this friend of mine got together with a guy. Really happy for her. Finally, someone who can share her joy and pain. Someone who would always be there for her *ermz...99.9% of the time lahz, being realistic*. Someone whom she can relate to. Someone who will offer his shoulder wholeheartedly when she needs to cry. Someone who will always be there to offer as many hugs. Someone who will chase all the dark clouds away. And lots lots more. I truly wish you both all the happiness and love in the world. And friend, hope to see you happier now. :)
Office...thank goodness the re-tiling of the corridor has been completed. The whole of last week, the corridor smelled bad. There was just this smell of paste...this pasty pasty smell. Yuck. But I think they forgot a small wee part just outside our department. Coz it's just under the door. And the workers can't open our department's door just like that.
Jo called me in office today. It was an emergency for her. She sounded so frantic. Coz she couldn't get her PHP script to run properly. Tried to help her but it's hard when I can't see her question nor what she's coded so far. And she needed it in 10 minutes. In the end, didn't help her at all. :(
Work has kinda at a stand-still at the moment. Just waiting for the next phase to start which my colleague has said that it'll be around August. Involves PL/SQL. I'm really praying that I can handle it coz I ain't that good in PL/SQL. I just managed to scrape through my ORDS last semester.
When I say I ain't that good, people just say I'm being humble. But I really ain't that good! Don't paint a wonderful picture of me coz I know what I can do and what I can't. What I'm capable of. If you do, you'll be terribly disappointed.
Lastly...Natsu Matsuri (Summer Festival) is COMING! 21 August. As usual, Per and I will be going. Nad has agreed to come too. I recommend you guys to go coz it's really fun fun fun! It's like a carnival with lots of good Japanese food, games and performances. Sis probably won't be going this year coz of work. So perhaps she could lend Per her yukata. As for Nad, hmmm...gotta check out whether Mum's obi is long enough. If any of you are interested to join us, call, sms or email me. The long awaited moment...
July 18, 2004 @ 10.34pm
denial
I have so many things to blog about since last Wednesday. But now, I feel like crap so I think I'll skip.Well, I have a classic example of denial happening right in the lounge of my home right now. I was supposed to help put the tape on timer to tape a programme since we'll be out for dinner. And so I did.
Now it turns out something happened, and all we got taped is blue screen. I figured the machine did tape coz 1) the tape isn't in the starting position 2) I saw a little bit of news at the beginning, about 2-3 seconds of it when we re-wound the tape to check. To prove point 2 further, before that, CSI was taped at the beginning. So how could there be 2-3 seconds of news at the beginning if the machine didn't tape?
But no, Dad keeps insisting that I didn't tape it. I tried to explain. And all he did was kept rewinding and forwarding the tape to check. Just blardee didn't believe what I said. I was getting pissed off and at the same time feeling bad coz things just didn't turn out right.
So FINE! It's my fault ok. If you wanna keep insisting and just can't accept the fact that shit happens then so be it, I didn't tape it. And I think he's still at it. Rewinding and forwarding the damn tape. Just can't blardee accept that something went wrong.
Yea Dad, so much for saying that Sis ain't sensible. Sis is this, Sis is that. Coz you know what, both of you are the same. I bet you just wanted to scream at me there and then. The same way Sis would have done.
That's why they said don't point a finger at another person coz 3 fingers are pointing back at you. You point your finger at Sis and there you have it. You are the same.
July 14, 2004 @ 12.38pm
packed lunch in a melody box
Packed lunch today. Rice and some food. Simple. But I feel kinda happy maybe coz it's the first time I'm using the My Melody lunchbox. I was tempted to buy one in Japan but it was just too expensive.And then I saw it in the pasar malam. It's 2-tiered with a band to hold together. Then again, I love My Melody things much as I love cow stuff. So there.
I know that I could just pop by the canteen upstairs to take-away better food but I love my packed lunch all the same coz Mum prepared it for me this morning.
Nothing for me to do today. Been reading since the time I reached office. Feel extra freakin' sleepy today. Trying very hard not to drink coffee. It's not good to be dependant on caffeine.
I wonder how I can last watching CSI and Buffy tonight. Probably tape it. Having dinner with Mr Inada tonight.
July 13, 2004 @ 10.52pm
ironic
Something I wrote in my notebook at 5.40pm...Office is a place where I feel physically here and not here at the same time. Sure, there are rules to keep us in line. But somehow everyone just minds his/her own business or that's what I think.
I am left alone in my cubicle unless there is something to be done. I read when I'm done with the work. No one seems to mind what I do. It feels quite unbearable. But that's the main difference at work and in school. In school, you know what is expected of you. The do's and don't's are spelled out very clearly.
I don't mind the little freedom I have here but I need balance. I somehow feel unsure about things, a lot more when no one tells me what to do or don't do. No one expresses anger or displeasure.
As much as I dislike my own straightforwardness, I would like people to be straightforward with me. Things can be so ironic sometimes.
July 13, 2004 @ 12.47pm
that darn button
Right...I spent the last 2 nail-biting, hair-pulling, frustrating hours trying to make the stupid button work. Well, my colleague asked me to change those usual grey buttons to something nicer. So there I went, created nice image buttons. And I got stuck at the login page already.There's no shortcut html to make a nice image reset button work. Need to incorporate some javascript. Tried this, tried that. Didn't work. Searched for javascript codes. Some came in long but useless codes. For one, I already had a code for userid and password checking.
To cut the long story short, sometimes the simplest things are the ones which work best. I just found a short code, about 2 lines that solved my problem. Seriously, I feel like smacking myself and everybody else at this moment.
All the time wasted! Mind you, I even checked my year 2 ECAD project to see if I had a solution before. I remembered I had the same problem the last time I did that project. But, the last time, I must have given up and left it as the boring grey reset button.
But gotta admit that I feel good after the solving the problem. And so, I learn something new.
There goes my last sachet of Nescafe Frothe Hazelnut flavoured coffee. Nyahahahahaha...I'm buying MORE tonight.
One more thing why I hate my office computer. Shortcuts like Ctrl+S to save do not work.
PS: All those who read Per's (Perrine) blog, please leave a tag or comment. The wind blew and brought about paranoia for her...
July 12, 2004 @ 11.47pm
brand new week
Yesterday's meetup with James was ok. It's been 6 years. We only keep in touch through ICQ. Meeting up...felt a little weird though. Weird coz I'm no longer that Sec 1 girl I used to be. Growing up can be fun and yet painful at the same time. Coz you learn that the world isn't always that same happy place you thought it was. You leave some innocence behind.I don't really talk a lot when I'm around people I don't really know. Luckily he had quite a bit to chat about so it wasn't too bad.
Had coffee at a cafe at Esplanade. After which we walked around Raffles City shopping mall. Finally, got into his car to go to East Coast Park. No parking space coz it's the weekend. Crowded. Went off to Cozy Bay to have another drink.
Somehow he likes to move around from place to place. Haha.
A thought just popped into my mind. Why is it that the people I really want to talk to are never free or don't want to talk or have a whole lot of other commitments? Or maybe it's just that I never called them coz I'm afraid that they'll find it weird?
Beginning of the week. Tiring but still ok. Got my pay for June. Since it isn't much *$180 since I started towards the end of June*, Mum said she'll stop giving me allowance once I get my full pay at the end of this month.
Just got a new supply of contact lenses. There goes my money. I shall survive on bread for lunch for this whole week so I can save up the allowance and have the feeling of money in my wallet.
Time is never enough on the weekdays. So much I want to do but can't. At this moment, I'm already eating into my sleeping time.
There's so much to blog but everytime I get to blog, the thoughts seem to all slip away. If only I could blog whenever I like...
July 11, 2004 @ 1.48pm
2 things to smile for
Haven't been at the computer for 2 days. So I would sleep earlier.On Friday, I saw 2 things that made me smile. Firstly, it was this couple. I think the guy just came back from somewhere or it's the other way round. Guy was holding a small bouquet of flowers. Girl arrives. And the 2 just hug each other happily and wouldn't let go. At that moment, you could feel the happiness radiating from the both of them. I smiled and silently wished them all the happiness and love in the world.
Second thing, this ang moh (caucasian) fella. He had lots of accessories hanging from his handphone. Just like the Japanese. I would love to hang more accessories on my handphone but the holes only allow 2 to string through.
Yesterday, went to rent some vcds. Actually I wanted to see if I could get to watch Spiderman or Scooby Doo 2. Well, got neither but a whole lot of other vcds. 3 of which are cartoons. Haha...
Met Meizhi to get the "Azumi" dvd from her. The movie stars Ueto Aya. But it's just like "Moonchild", never made it to the shores of Singapore.
Okie...gotta go get ready. Meeting James for coffee. No, not Fu...the other James. Hah...all those that thought it was Fu, can go bang their silly heads against the wall. I'm just going to sit here and laugh.
PS: Best friend, I miss ya too. Meet up sometime?
July 08, 2004 @ 1.05pm
lunchtime recap
It's lunchtime now...might as well squeeze an entry in here.A quick recap...
Tuesday, watched Spiderman 2 after work with Raynor, Shaz, Cas and Da Ge. Enjoyed it...worth the money. You guys should go watch it. Hmmm...I should go rent the first part. I didn't watch the first part.
Yesterday, met James to get back my digicam. He borrowed it to transfer the photos taken during Ms Chia's farewell dinner, as well as to take a few more shots of the school. Doing a little something for Ms Chia.
I went to Chinatown to collect my framed cross-stitch pieces. Looks so nice after the framing. Shall post some pics maybe tonight.
Last night's episode of Buffy wasn't much of an action-pack. The only "entertainment" was Andrew and his usual blabber.
Ok, got work to do. More tonight...
July 05, 2004 @ 9.56pm
work load getting heavier
[edited at 10.33pm]Haha...before the servers get overloaded again, I better say all I want now. This morning, James told me the score for Euro2004. So Greece won. Nyahahahaha...I'm not a soccer fan but I was kinda hoping that Portugal loses. Coz if Portugal won, I would have thought that coz they are the host country so must let them win. Match fixed or something. The hokkien expression is "lau kwee".
[edited]
Now I'm going to shut my mouth. Work has come in. But all at one go. Well, I still can handle though...I think. Just try to work faster, be more productive.
Didn't go for lunch today. Was afraid I couldn't finish the work. Although my colleague didn't say when is the deadline but I think I better not lag too much. Anyway I have a stash of muesli bars, coffee and tea in my drawer so I won't go hungry.
Haha...I think TP reuses tutorial questions. Well guess what? Last semester I learnt PHP. This semester, Jo has to learn PHP. She needed help so she asked me. She gave me the link to have a look at the questions. Oh! It's the same as mine! And we are in totally different courses.
I think I'm getting quite addicted to cross-stitching. Although I don't have time at the moment but once the holidays is here again, I will continue. I seem to look out for nice cross-stitch patterns. I love those with nice wordings, bible phrases or just rhymes which were said in my childhood.
July 03, 2004 @ 9.15pm
say goodbye
[edited at 1.51am]Just added a profile page. Check it out from the list of links at the corner.
[edited]
Did some updates yesterday. The wallpaper update and the photo update. Yep, the photo was taken on Thursday. We had a farewell dinner for our AO/CP, Ms Chia. If you're wondering what's an AO/CP, she's like our form teacher.
Although not all of C010 was there, the gathering was a good one. It was at TM's Seoul Garden. Our new AO/CP, Mrs Ho *she taught me ORDS in year 2* and back-up AO/CP, Mr Loh was there too.
There weren't many times where I "worked" with Ms Chia coz she teaches students from diploma of IT *I'm in diploma of ICP*. However, I wish her all the best in whatever she does.
Watched "Around The World In 80 Days" with James. We wanted to watch "Spiderman 2" but there were only the front row seats left for the afternoon shows. Met Kelvin *sensei* and his girlfriend. They wanted to watch "Spiderman 2" too. But I think they gave up coz really, you should have seen the queue.
"Around The World In 80 Days" is quite a humourous movie. With a lot of guest appearances.
Wonder how is Raynor with his NSC competition. Hope everything goes well. Good luck! Ganbatte ne!

coming through
It so happens that everytime I wanna blog, the server is overloaded. But when it's time for me to sleep and I try one last time, it's suddenly working.Work is coming in already in the office. Which is a good sign. Although I shouldn't have slept late last night coz I was falling asleep while making changes to html codes in the office. Had to drink coffee in the end.
There is much to blog about but I think I'll save it for tomorrow coz I really need to get some sleep.

short entry
Short entry. Just to say that I might be moving. Diaryland is getting a tad irritating coz I can't blog when I want to. Servers overloaded yada yada yada... Ok, I might move when I get the time to figure greymatter out.Want to blog more but I need to get some sleep. Am working tomorrow...or rather today since it's past midnight already.
