Lovers' Day
Did anyone went and toss mandarin oranges into the river yesterday?
'Twas the 15th of the Chinese calendar. The last day of the new year celebration. And the day when the moon is the fullest in a month.
'Twas the Chinese "Valentine's Day".
Scary, Scary Day
I'm going to get my results at noon and then straightaway board the bus to KL. Guess that's the end of my little "holiday".
Good luck on the SPM results, everyone. *hugs*
P.S.: Someone told me that my English is not conventional. Eh?
Brief Update
I'm sick. *sniffles* I have been, since Friday. Runny nose, sore throat, fever, the works.
I feel terrible. And I sound terrible too.
But wish me luck for my SPM results anyway. I'm going to school to get it in the morning. Yikes!
Life Is Not Quite Perfect Yet
Gosh. I'm so tired. Too tired to make sense. *slouches*
I need a better posture. And more rest.
Have to study tonight, test tomorrow. And too many homework to handle.
I guess I'd better go.
Secret Diaries
Joan actually went and printed this out for me when she found it as a forwarded email in her inbox. So that's where it's from. Hmm. ;P
She knew I would be interested. It was hilarious. *chuckles*
Ghost Town
One thing I hate about being online at this time is that no one is online. *pouts*
Burning Into You
Sometimes the twisted side of me finds it amusing how fast things can change. So many faces smile at you, and most of the times you wonder which is hiding a frown behind, which is actually your enemy. But how many of us actually wonder how soon will that smile, however sincere it is then, turn into a deadly scowl?
I wonder about that, you know. Because nothing hurts more than a friend turned enemy.
Being Human
So you're wondering why am I online all of the sudden? I wasn't really planning to be online at all until a few more weeks, or until I get my SPM results (and maybe online a little while I'm back home then?), but I had to after yesterday's conversation with Tiffany (so far the longest phone conversation I had since I got here).
A couple of things had gotten messy. That's bad, especially when on certain points it does reflects on the more negative points of being human. Stuff that I'd rather forget.
We're so weak sometimes, forever obliging slaves to our own emotions and moods. A downward spiral of the mood. A sudden flare of temper. And we succumb to those so easily.
And why all of the sudden it's so frickin' hard to blog?
Weekends
There's supposed to be an education fair (again?) at Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) this weekend, so I might just go over there and check things out.
Even though I'm not too enthused about going with the person I'm going there with. Hrms.
I need to go out more during the weekends, but I hardly know anyone who is all that free to go out whenever they want to. I hate being stuck at home doing homework (since most of the area here is closed on Sundays) with nowhere to go.
If only my friends aren't so busy with school and college too. Hmm. Well, heck, I'm busy as well, I shouldn't even be complaining, but...
One can get wholly sick of homework and assignments, you know.
Squish The Guilt
Uhm. My computer is coming this Friday, thanks to my parents who are coming down to KL on Thursday. Still no net access though. I got my dad to agree (after considerable discussion) to let me apply for a phone line if I really want one, but I'm just thinking about the consequences right now.
I don't know if I'm bored to death and that's why I'm not doing too well in school, or that having a net connection is just going to make everything worse. And I don't really trust my self-control.
Spot The Person!
My classmates has started bringing their yearbooks to college. I've been browsing through some of them, and a couple of those looked pretty nicely done.
Anyone of the class of 2001 from SMK Subang Utama or SMK Taman S.E.A. or Methodist Girls' School? :P Tell me and I'll try to spot you! *grins*
P.S.: I thought I saw someone familiar in the SMK Taman S.E.A. book. The description actually fits too. Weird. O.o
Countdown To Deathday
SPM results out on the 27th!
*hops, skips, trips*
I'm so friggin' excited, I can hardly sit still! I'm not sure whether to feel scared, nervous, optimistic, pessimitic, happy, or glad (no, I'm not insane, but "glad" in the sense that I'm finally going to get this over and done with).
Ahhhhhh!!!
I want to do well so badly, but it's a little impossible because I know I did horribly (it's a fact, not a feeling), and there's no way around it, but I'm hoping for some miracle. Then again, I don't want to get my hopes too high or else I'd end up bawling my eyes out over it...
Grr. Waiting is such an annoying thing! Who cares about patience now?
I wonder if I should go back home to get my results?
The Real World Isn'tThat Safe
Oh, crap. I just realized that one person whom I do not quite like (I do not dislike that person, just... well, feel a mixture of annoyance and pity for that person) is hosted on a domain on which one of my friends are hosted on too.
Scary!!! *hides eyes*
Broken
Something strange is going on. I'm getting broken images for my sketches that's on Divination.
And I can't even fix that.
A Reason For Getting Killed
My phone bill (for the cellphone) came today. Overall, it wasn't that bad. RM30ish. A lot, but not as bad as I expected considering how expensive Maxis really is.
The bad part is that RM22.05 was only for SMS messages (one message being RM0.15). Throughout the whole month of January, I sent 147 SMS messages from my cellphone. One hundred and forty-seven.
Jeez.
Mood Deflation
Was it just me, or did you notice the sudden deterioriation of my moods? I was so happy just now. Now I'm all depressed and crap. Wonderful.
I seriously need to get over this. It's making me irritated at myself for being so moody.
Friends Are My Happy Drug
I tend to lapse into a blue funk when I'm alone. Kinda obvious, isn't it?
I wonder how am I going to cope without anyone to turn to. I haven't found anyone in college whom I can really tell everything to, and that makes me feel really alone in that separate world. No wonder I'm not looking forward to going back to college.
Suddenly I feel like crying.
Breaking Up The Girl
No computer for the next month or so. *sniff*
...
*cries*
I'm not looking forward to going back to college and the crazy hectic life there. Those of you who are supposed to come to KL and meet up, you'd better come soon before I lose my mind!
Latest Search Referrals
We haven't done this in a long time, had we? ;)
Whoever you are, if you figure out how to do this, remember to share the secret, all right? People has been giving me weird looks and asking me how I survive without the Internet. The answer is that I... uhm... barely do? So if you know how to get it free, I'm interested! :P
As for this, I'm afraid you may have to refer to Ash or Chjoerz about it. *chuckles*
Sooner Than I Thought
I was supposed to leave at 9AM tomorrow. And guess what?
Plans has changed.
I leave at 7:30AM.
O.O
Almost Broken, But Not Quite
Did you realise I fixed my weblog? ;) It no longer has the funky dates and time.
Yay! :D And after all these initial problems with all of the scripts I use here, I think it will be smooth sailing from here onwards. The move might just be a good thing after all.
*touches wood*
I'll Always See You Soar Above The Sky
Happily sipping Chinese tea. Very contented.
I just got home from an evening spent with friends. :) Forget homework, forget the stress I'm going to face tomorrow. Forget about college right now. Forget everything... other than how wonderfully lucky I am to have such fabulous friends.
My mom always had told me that I was born lucky. And in a way, it's true, you know. I never thought that this kind of luck would be possible... I've had bad days, but now that I look back upon them, they are what that make me what I am today, and I feel that it is important. And I've always had what I wanted, even when it was the impossible. All I had to do was to believe in it, to silently will my whole heart to have it happen, and it will happen.
Wishes come true... for me anyway. I'm not a witch, I don't have magic, but the magic is in the world around us.
I believe her. I never felt so blessed as this.
:) May your day be filled with smiles as well. As this quote I stole from this stat page:
kerfuffle brings happiness to the world. 13.8% lines contained smiling faces. :)
So smile!
Sit Up And Take Notice
Argh!!! My weblog time is screwed up after the change of hosts! And to think that I was blogging away merrily, not noticing...
*smacks self*
Yeah, I know the dates look kinda funky. I'm fixing it (or rather, attempting to... let's hope I don't screw up since I'm playing around with CGI files).
A Pattern In Domainia
It's kind of sad to see old domains disappearing (or, in some cases, dying off) as new domains appear. Why do the old ones which I had grown to know have to die off? It's indeed sad, but it looks like a pattern that is hard to escape. It has happened, and it happens all over again. And again.
It makes me not want to get a domain, despite all the things I can do with it without bothering my hostesses. Especially when I think that I might not be able to dedicate myself entirely into a domain if I acquire one.
Haikus, Anyone?
Haikus are crappy
But everybody loves them
Who am I to talk?
Anything goes? Visit H.aik.u to get your daily dose of Leikus. ;)
Reality Is Harsh
Guestbook entries are dwindling with each new layout. Steadily losing my touch.
Do I even have any to begin with?
Burned Tongue
Ouch. Methinks I burned my tongue earlier when I was eating dinner. Now it feels all weird and... stingy. I don't think that's the word for it, but whatever.
Hot soup.
Yes, I'm blaming it all on the soup. >:O
Back To Pen And Paper
Oh, by the way, the card on cam is the one I got from Zhi Ling. :) I got it before I left, and while I was in KL, I got two more; one personally hand-delivered to me by Tiffany, and one from Kirsteen which I found in my college mailbox. Pretty nice surprise, isn't it?
:) :) :)
I shall cam them soon. But for now, much love to them who gave/sent me cards! I've long abandoned the tradition of card-exchange with my offline friends, but I still send them to my net friends and penpals.
And did you know that I got a letter from the Penguin Queen herself (this happened while I was in college, about a week ago or so)? No? Now you do! :P I be honored! It even had a stampmark of her royal highness at the end of the letter... a penguin!
*tackle-huggles E!*
The End Of The World Is Near
The blogging monster cannot blog! What on Earth shall we do?!
Meeting Up
But on the brighter side, I met up with Tiffany, Sookie, and Song Jun at MidValley Megamall a couple of days back. I didn't really plan to meet up, it was just that the night before I called up Tiffany to wish her a happy new year, and then she told me that she was going to meet up with the two of them the next day. I asked where were they going to meet up at, and she said Megamall... which is where I was staying at! Well, the hotel in which I was staying at was right next to it (the hotel is crap, by the way, so don't stay there unless you just want convenience in shopping). So... yeah. You probably know what happens next.
;) 'Twas fun. In short, we watched a movie, Shallow Hal. It's rather amusing in certain parts, but overall it's not all that fantastic, I suppose. It's funny, but predictable. I want to watch Ocean's 11 (but of course, it wasn't showing)! But anyway, after the movie, we went to Shakey's. The customer service was crap. You'd never ever think that just trying to get plates would be that hard!
Oh, ha. Tiffany snapped 3 photos. Or was it 2? I don't quite remember. Perhaps they won't turn out that well... (I hate taking photos, *chuckles*). Hopefully Tiffany won't post them up. Haha.
This is my first time meeting Song Jun, my second time meeting Tiffany, and my third time meeting Sookie. Nice statistics, eh?
Problems Popping Up Like Daisies
I'm home!!!
Actually, I've been home since about two hours ago. I just couldn't blog! >:O If you didn't know, H-Y-P-H-E-N-S.Net has changed host (to a better host, or so they say) while I was away, so... yeah, everything had to be set up all over again, thus all the errors occuring in my weblog and my gallery. *sigh* I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong.
Goodness, there is so much to tell. I'm dead tired cause I just got home from KL, and that's one long journey! I have no idea how I'm going to get back there on Sunday because the person who is supposed to give me a ride bailed out on me last minute, and I can't get the bus tickets anymore because it's all full... argh!
If this is not fixed before I go, it may not be fixed at all until April because most likely I won't be having my computer there from now till then (you can hardly expect me to carry my CPU along in public transport, along with my lugage), so I won't have access to all of my files.
But the most pressing matter right now is the transportation problem, I guess. I hope I won't get stranded here, or even worse, at the bus station! That might be my worst nightmare. Crap, I hate having to depend on public transportation all the time (I wouldn't mind that much if I have a companion, but I'm going to be alone!). I have to figure out how on Earth am I going to get to Subang Jaya from there.
Hauling my luggage along every second, of course.
The Mystery Of It All
Oh, and in case you're wondering why I'm online, or how I managed to come online... it's by using the laptop. :P It's my dad's, and for some reason he had brought it along (normally he only brings it on business trips and not personal ones like this one). So I'm using it to get online!
What I deduced yesterday when my brother first pulled out the laptop:
"Hey, sis, what's this?" he asked.
I looked over for a second and then returned to my book. "That's the cable for the modem."
"Oh, okay." He shoved it back into the bag.
But then I dropped my book and looked over again. "Wait a minute..."
He looked at me questioningly.
"We have a laptop. We have a modem. And we have a phone line." I could feel my lips tugging at the sides. "Wonderful! Do you know what this means?"
Muahahahaha.
I Have A Problem
Rather...
*hic*
ob-
*hic*
vious...
*hic*
isn't...
*hic*
it?
The Trouble With WizardsHosting
Freaky things have been happening with WizardsHosting. Once upon a time it was frequent downtimes. Now it's the problem with the subdomains. I popped online and Daynah told me about it.
But in case you want to know, the next time that happens, you can access the subdomains of H-Y-P-H-E-N-S.Net as subdirectories. Tedious, especially if you're surfing through links and bookmarks (and you'll be seeing a lot of broken images and it's very likely that you can't comment), but it works if you want to read updates.
That's exactly what I'm doing right now. Ling has plans on moving the domain elsewhere?
Everywhere
Yikes! There's mosquitoes everywhere!
And the worst part is that there's mosquito bites everywhere!
Happy Chinese New Year
Ack. Well, I know Chinese New Year is yesterday, so Happy Day-After Chinese New Year to you all! I haven't been able to get online as not to be rude to my relatives since going online is deemed as an antisocial behavior...
But anyway, like Samantha reminded me of, the celebration of Chinese New Year lasts for fifteen days! So have fun everyone, and good luck in getting the red packets. :P
Screwed Over
My CD player is fucked. It won't play any CDs at all. :'(
Good thing the computer still likes me.
New Layout At Fantasy Log
And speaking of the New Year, new red layout at Fantasy Log. Guess it's not longer black, huh, Daynah? ;) I was starting to expect it to be always that colour. *giggles*
Not In The Spirit To Celebrate
Even though I have a new layout at Divination that's red in colour (and I changed the splash image last minute... the first one was plain, and thanks to all who had plugged the new layout; I wub woo all!), I'm not in the mood to celebrate Chinese New Year this year.
I guess that's why black is also a major colour in the layout, next to the red. There's not supposed to be any black during Chinese New Year. Some kind of bad luck thing. Did you know that I got scolded a couple of years back because I wore a dark blue shirt on Chinese New Year Eve? My grandmother thought it was black.
Surprise! Not.
Click?
Greek Goddess Test
I am Artemis.
See which Greek Goddess you are.
Cam Image
Current cam image is from college, dated February 8th. Hehe. It was 5AMish, and I was taking a break from packing (to go home later that day, duh). So forgive the messy state I was in, I uploaded it to replace the old one that was more than one month old already. :P
Bed (& Breakfast?)
Okay, it's more than one hour since I've been home (and I was planning to go straight to bed when I get home, but somehow or other the computer has "distracted" me).
I really... should... slee...
Reading Updates
The Return of The King / LOTR (in process)
The Diary of Anne Frank (finished)
Beloved by Toni Morrison (finished)
Rising Sun by Michael Crichton (in process)
Sphere by Michael Crichton (not touched yet)
I can't seem to stick to one book at a time. Jeez.
Nutty Pie
I'm currently using my brother's computer right now, so I don't have access to any of my things.
Luckily enough, I'm actually nuts enough to bring my CPU all the way back from college, so I'm going to switch it with my brother's CPU later tomorrow today. Then I can do whatever I like. Muahahahahaha.
Don't you love it when things go your way? ;)
Procrastinating?
I have something up my sleeves. Some of you already knows what's up. ;P Those who don't... nyeh! *evil laugh*
But it rather depends how much free time I have on top of finishing my holiday homework and studying for tests that will take place right after the holidays are over. So hopefully I can finish up my homework really fast. :)
Destination: Somewhere
Another Chinese New Year card reaches its destination (the first one being Tiffany's). :) And yet another, I assume.
:D It makes me happy to know that mail actually ends up where they are supposed to.
Holidays Once Again
Goodness... I'm friggin' tired!
Who'd have thought that sitting in the car for 10+ hours (after a day of non-sleep and a day's worth of classes) can be so exhausting?
In case you don't know yet, I'm home! :D
:)
Meeting up with my best friend later. Yay!
Weirdness
For the first time in ages, I'm on one of the library computers, and that's only because for some odd reason the place is not packed today. In fact, there seems to be a lot of computers that are not in use! What on earth happened to everyone?
Too into the Chinese New Year's spirit to bother with the computers?
Pricey!
Time's up. I'm off, before I end up burning a hole in my pocket. Daynah's (new layout!) right, I have to save up a little for other times when I want to be online, some other day.
I wonder how much do I have to pay up this time around?
Missing The Net Life
I'm hungry to start on a new layout. :( But I can't.
And I'm envious of the two persons who has gone and gotten themselves brand new domains. I want one too (my dad finally gave me the go ahead sign... like, one week before I set off to college)! But I hardly have time or the chance to go online now, so what's the point?
Jeez. Life is unfair.
But it's not like I will ever get to decide on a friggin' domain name anyway. *rolls eyes* I'm as indecisive as anyone can ever be.
Everything-In-One
Something is seriously wrong with my moods. It's changing like nobody's business every second I'm here. I'm annoyed, irritated, happy, sad, tired, hyper, optimistic, and I don't really know how I feel now.
I'm blaming it on PMS. Or maybe a pro-longed one? O.o
Science Person
You know, despite my obsession with art, I've finally come to the conclusion that I'm not surprised that I ended up as a science student, even in college.
I'm in love with lab (Biology Lab on Monday, Chemistry Lab on Tuesday, and Physics Lab on Friday). I look forward to them every week. The two hours in the laboratory passes by so fast every time we were in there, doing experiments.
And while we were coming back to KL from Kemaman last week (two weeks ago?), my friend told me that I'm a Science person, and I'd better make full use of that.
I am, I am! :)
*skips*
At the moment I really can't think of anything other than counting the seconds until I get to go home for a week or more. I really cannot wait!
And I'm copying down addresses that I'm supposed to send mail to. ;P I wonder if I'll actually get to it?
Procrastinator me strikes back.
Tiredness
I feel so tired. So tired.
*sigh*
Maybe it's because I slept at 5AM and woke up at 7AM.
What Boredom Causes
What I did when I was bored in college but didn't want to do my homework: clickety!
This is dedicated to Tiffany, previously the owner of Butterfly Soul but apparently still is a butterfly freak. ;) I'm going to be sending a miniature version over, Tiffles, so that it doesn't get destroyed in the mail.
More paintings to come (which I believe I have promised quite a few people out there, hehe), and requests for dedication is welcome (I need more inspiration!).
P.S.: This is the first painting in my new (yet-to-be-personalised) art gallery. I'm planning to do some arts stuff whenever I'm free while I'm in college without net access.
P.P.S.: Much love to E! She helped me when I lack of a graphics program here.
Reasons, Reasons
I'm only blogging because some people told me to blog.
I don't know... *looks around at other people*
Electrocuted
I'm going home on Friday!
My godbrother called me yesterday, while I was in Chemistry class. My cell phone was in my jeans pocket and on silent mode, but I set the vibrating to on. And sure enough, the moment the phone "rang", I practically jumped from my seat like I just go zapped. I discreetly took it out and checked who it was who called. But as I was in class, I couldn't pick it up...
It stopped. I put the phone back into my pocket, silently reminding myself to call him back after class.
And not even five minutes later the scenario repeated itself, and once again I almost jumped out of my seat in shock. I silently willed it to stop, and when it finally did, class was over.
I called him back. And made plans on the time and location and whatnots. He's supposed to pick me up at college and then we go back to Kemaman together.
I can hardly wait for Friday!
>:O
Here I am, sitting in the cybercafe, looking at this glaring screen and getting increasingly irritated because I cannot do anything other than type and surf. I want to mess around with graphics, I can't. I want to download big files and burn them into CDs, I can't.
What's the use of fast connection when I can't freaking download things and get it back to my own computer? Jeez.
And the noise level here is like you wouldn't believe. I be deaf.
This place is annoying the fuck out of me.
