Download Done!
*gasps* It's done! It is done. I can hardly believe it. Ack.
Now I have nothing to download anymore, the taskbar looks kind of empty. *frowns*
Don't Mess With Me
Great. Just great.
My mood is now properly spoilt for the rest of the day. Grr...
Maybe it's a good thing today only consists of a little over 4 hours left.
GRRRR.
The Price Of Being Cute (A Cute Pikachu, Rather)
Hahahahaha, Daynah is too cute! Look what she made for me. *chuckles* How very creative, indeed! And it sure cheered me up a lot after some pretty depressing hours of reading and not absorbing the contents of the books.
P.S.: Hehe, did you use the Pikachizer?
SlowLOadingWeblogs
Dude, slow loading weblogs are irritating. Especially when they show a loadful of old posts. >:O And the reason why I say weblogs is because they are what that shows half the posts for the past weeks anyway, instead of a typical one-entry-per-page journal. And I expect design-oriented sites to load slow. Not weblogs.
Has my weblog been loading faster ever since my crazy weblogging habits has trailed to a stop?
And Everything Is Going Wrong
Something is fucked up with my Intel programs. I can still use them, but I cannot adjust the video settings. Grr. I am extremely tempted to uninstall and reinstall it, but I might fuck that process up and end up with no webcam.
Err... maybe I shouldn't speak so soon yet. :( I'm going to jinx myself someday.
Captured Memories
Okay, so I'm supposed to go to school on Thursday. *nods* There's supposedly a class party that day or something, according to a friend of mine (who just went offline... yes, we're a bunch of crazy people who don't sleep until at least 3AM on a school night). Argh. She's telling me to bring my cam... and I'm debating whether to, or not.
*frowns* I'll decide on that later. Depends if I'm feeling up for a few photo shots. If I am not, then I'll be spending the day ducking away from the cameras (I think quite a few of my classmates will be bringing cameras). Heh.
But she's right though. We need some memory of our school after spending five friggin' years there, since we won't be having any official graduation (and the school next door will!).
Life is unfair. So what's new?
Pending Singing Clip
I've was listening to I'm Afraid of Brittany Spears on MP3 a while ago, and have been singing it ever since. Muahahahahaha. I think my brother (who was sitting next to me being busy chatting on mIRC) got sick of my singing that song. ;P However, he is requesting me to record it (my singing) tomorrow on the computer.
Hrm... a singing clip. Again? Something tells me that someone is going to get deaf from it. Hehehe.
Too Much Of The Internet World
Ah, well, it's been a week (and 12 hours?) since I started downloading Slackware. Haha. Yes, I'm very consistent, aren't I? *snickers* I've gotten as far as 88% (565.77MB of 639.09MB). I thought it would take a whole lot longer... this is a sign that I have been online far too much!
But surprise surprise, This month did not manage to rival with last month, because so far it's already October 29th and I've used up to... approximately 180 hours. Last month was 202 hours. I don't think I'm going to be able to chalk up 22 hours in the next two days.
Uh... well, but it is still too much. *frowns*
So see you later. I'm off to get myself a chocolate drink and (hopefully) study. And this is the 10th post for today (which is a lot compared to my normal posts these days as it nears SPM), so I hope you people out there are satisfied. Hrmph! ;P
I Have A Date With Lady Luck
I'm a hopeless case. One little distraction and I might as well waste away the whole day instead of studying. Actually, I did waste away the whole day already.
*smacks self*
Stressed I am too. Hopefully I can cram enough in my head for SPM (which isn't a lot at all since late nights and early mornings has killed all of my brain cells good and proper), and the rest if up to Lady Luck, whether she's still not too busy to help me out. Or not.
*crosses fingers* Maybe I should ring her (or her secretary?!) up and add myself to her appointment book, for every single day of SPM from 8AM to 4:30PM. Hey, it's only for 11 days (and I'm taking 21 papers)! After that I shall arrange an appointment of her with whoever my test paper examiners will be... I'm assuming she'll know though.
Okay, so who knows the number?
A Case Of Favoritism?
Samantha woman has new layouts at her site and her journal. So why not her weblog too?
>:O!
Favorite Pikachu
*chuckles* I'm so honored being Daynah's "Favorite Pikachu"! ;P I guess that means no more zapping Daynah whenever I feel like it (or whenever she demands that I sleep when I don't want to!).
Or maybe I'm the only Pikachu she knows online... hrm... that would be other than herself, of course. *grins*
Almost A Year Now
I kind of wish the Protagonist Chativersary is in December instead of November (the Protagonist Chat was first initiated on November 16th, 2000 in the channel #protagonist at chat.hosting4u.net). *sigh* I mean, December is when everyone's having their breaks and all. 'Twould be a whole lot easier.
:\ But I guess I'm a little glad that there's a mini-break in between the papers during November 14th to November 19th. But then again... can I get festive when I'm trapped in a schedule of an onslaught of exams?
Argh. Reminds me of how someone asked me, "Pei, when do you not have exams?" I suppose after SPM I will be exam-free for a brief moment. All of us SPM-ers will be, I think. Well... I hope. A welcome break for all of us.
For... like, a few months.
I can't wait.
What's In A Name
Lee

Definition: plum; judge; surname
Pei
Pronunciation: PEI4

My name is so very simple. Click on the individual syllables to see how they are written in Chinese. :P The source of all this is here.
P.S.: No, we don't speak in numbers... those numbers signifies the intonation. There are so many ways you can pronounce a word, you know. ;)
Cat Food Are Yum!
You know, I was just thinking yesterday. I don't know what led me to it, but I was reminded of the time when I used to play with stray cats a lot. And I'd fuss over them and feed them. My parents always got annoyed when I play with the stray cats, but they wouldn't let me have my own anyway.
I did once bought cat biscuits. :P And my older brother ate it (by accident, he didn't know what it was), and claimed that it tasted great. My other siblings were staring at him as he popped the biscuits into his mouth, and then everyone was like, "Hey, you know that's cat food, right?"
*grins* The look on his face was priceless.
Time Has Come... To Tell Myself To Sleep
I shall stop depressing you people with my occasional lapse in mood and go to bed already. My eyes are pretty dry (and so is my throat... do I sense dehydration closing in soon?). It's past 4AM. Sheesh. It's no wonder my moods has been in the pits lately. I suppose late nights, early mornings, pressure, and a whole lot of staring at the monitor, TV, and books doesn't quite agree with me (normally I deal perfectly fine when there's no pressure and studying involved, heh).
'Night people. I shall get some decent sleep, and hopefully wake up on the right side of the bed tomorrow today... when there's actually only one side of the bed to wake up from because the other side is pushed to the wall.
Oh well. *smacks self* Sleep, Pei!
Study Stress
I just got an SMS (from his cellphone to my ICQ) from my brother in India. Actually, I have gotten quite a few, but others are regarding about information and telephone numbers. This is the personal SMS though.
How is your SPM preparation? Are you reading like mad now? Read systemly, don't read blindly. Do all the pass year Qs.
*sighs* Why do I have a sinking feeling that I'm going to disappoint just about everyone? And the "systemly" is supposed to be "systematically", which is something that I can't do. I have no discipline at all.
How the hell do one actually study anyway? I don't have any techniques to it because all the while I've been living off reasoning and pure luck (which might run out soon if I'm not careful).
*sighs again*
What To Do If You Encounter A Black Cat...
It's Halloween in two days time! Ack ack ack. That means... ack, SPM is in one week's time! I am not prepared, dammit!
But anyway, here's a black cat for you to play with. Wave your cursor around, anywhere and everywhere and see what happens. Hehe.
*purrs* ;P
Chore
Why is blogging such a chore lately?
DST Is Evil!
So I was right. Grr. Just like I predicted, friggin' Daylight Savings messes up the time again. Rawr. I had to edit my weblog time, as well as to retune the automatic timezone converter in my brain.
Why can't everyone just run on our time? Then we don't have to mess with one hour forward or one hour backward. Sheesh. Such foolishness!
Milk Doesn't The Body Good
And so, following E's comment, I went and did a search for lactose intolerance.
Compiled by Kent DeLong, M.D. regarding ethnicity and lactose intolerance, and reaffirming the ethnic/intolerant assumptions:
The prevalence of lactose intolerance
in adults of certain ethnic groups | | Ethnic Group | Percent Intolerant | | African Blacks | 95% | | Indians | 90% | | Asians | 90% | | North American Blacks | 75% | | Mexican Americans | 75% | | Mediterraneans | 60% | | North American Whites | 15% |
The above whateverie is taken from here.
Adrien doesn't eat pizza. He's one of the roughly 90 percent of Asian Americans who are lactose intolerant and, therefore, cannot properly digest dairy. If he were black or Native American, that percentage would drop to 75 percent, 50 percent if he were Mexican, and 25 percent if he were white. But while the majority of non-white folks in this country are lactose intolerant, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food pyramid still recommends two to three dairy servings every day to help maintain a balanced diet. Is this just another capitalist-spurred conspiracy sponsored by the California Dairy Council (a.k.a. top producer of dairy products in the U.S.), France, and the state of Wisconsin? Or is it just another misguided, racist notion that is in severe need of re-examination?
And that is from here. And uhm, to follow up on that one, here's a snippet of another article on it:
Lactose intolerance is not uncommon. In fact, 90 percent of Asians, 70 percent of blacks and Native Americans and 15 percent of whites have difficulty digesting lactose. Even so, the US dietary guidelines stipulate that Americans should eat 2 - 4 servings of dairy products per day. Because so many members of minority groups are lactose intolerant, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has initiated a lawsuit alleging racial bias in the guidelines.
Um, well, jeez. >:O My own brother is lactose intolerant. Does that mean that I might be too? *frowns* I guess I'll just enjoy the ice cream and avoid the milk. Hehe.
So maybe I don't Got Milk?.
Weblogs Revamp
Pretty (the colors are so pretty and soft, I was thinking of using them for my journal layout, but hehe, too girly for me), pretty (this wintery layout is the ultimate cuteness!).
Everyone is revamping their weblogs? :'( I feel so left out.
Blogging Ideas For A Goddess
[pandora] the goddess has not been updating her shrine
* pei sniffs
[pei] I know. lol.
[pei] The goddess had not had any craps to update her shrine with. Heh.
[pandora] >:O!
[pei] I think I just ran out of nonsense to post about
[pandora] yesterday's crap outing?
[pandora] cheesecake?
[pandora] meng hon and forks?
[pei] pandora, lol.
[pandora] samantha on crack?
[pei] Those are already posted in BLOGGED? ;P
[pandora] red plush sofas in a cafe?
[pei] Rawr. Well, those did not actually catch my attention
[pandora] we went to town especially for the sofas lol
* pei giggles
[pandora] ha.
[pandora] now they do!
[pei] lol
[pandora] *points pei in the direction of her blog*
Okay already! I get the point! *chuckles*
New Layout At Bereavement
*gasps* This is not only a new layout, but also a mullet layout at Jon's weblog! Hehe! It looks really cute and funny too... *grins*
Asian Abuse
"We grew up with parents who criticized everything we did. There was never a 'give it your best shot.'" - Asian Abuse.
How true. How very, very true.
*sigh*
Allergic To Milk?!
Ugh. Well, I thought I only hated milk before. Right now I think I'm positively allergic to it. Seems like everytime I get around drinking milk, I feel sick in the stomach. And feel like throwing up.
Eww. I know I'm not painting a pretty picture. Hehe. But still.
A Couple Of Pikachus On AIM
Hahahahahaha... so anyway, after showing Daynah this...
Daynah: ohmygosh!
Daynah: how cute..
Daynah: but pika is sad :-(
Pei: lol, yea
Pei: :-\
Pei: /me will make another one. lol.
And thus I did make another one. This is dedicated to Daynah. Pika pika Daynah-chu, indeed! ;)
Hatred Without Reason
This is one of the moments when I hate people. Anyone and everyone.
And I can't think of a friggin' reason for it.
...
Maybe I'm just tired.
My List Of Phobias
I just paid a visit to PhobiaList.Com in search for the name of my phobia, and I found out that it's called Botanophobia. *nods* I'm surprised there's even a name for it because I thought I was the only freak in this world with such a fear. Haha.
So anyway, I went through the whole list and found other fears (or at least I think so) of mine.
Algophobia, Odynophobia or Odynephobia - Fear of pain.
Atelophobia - Fear of imperfection.
Atychiphobia - Fear of failure.
Botanophobia - Fear of plants.
Claustrophobia - Fear of confined spaces.
Cleithrophobia or Cleisiophobia - Fear of being locked in an enclosed place.
Coulrophobia - Fear of clowns.
Demophobia - Fear of crowds.
Dendrophobia - Fear of trees.
Entomophobia - Fear of insects.
Helminthophobia - Fear of being infested with worms.
Herpetophobia - Fear of reptiles or creepy, crawly things.
Iatrophobia - Fear of going to the doctor or of doctors.
Kakorrhaphiophobia - Fear of failure or defeat.
Nosocomephobia - Fear of hospitals.
Panthophobia - Fear of suffering and disease.
Philophobia - Fear of falling in love or being in love.
Topophobia - Fear of certain places or situations, such as stage fright.
Jeez, that's so many things I fear. Gah. Well, a lot of them are interlinked with each other. Bah to you too if you try to frighten me with any of those. *ponders where is the "fear of being photographed" went*
So anyway. These are a few phobias that I found interesting.
Phobophobia - Fear of phobias (Hehe, how contradictory!).
Panophobia or Pantophobia - Fear of everything (Ouch, it must be bad to have this).
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - Fear of long words (I think I'm starting to get scared of long words as well... I mean, how do you pronounce that damn thing?!).
A Rant A Day Keeps The Shrink Away
My connection is slow, my download is barely even quarter done, Windows is fucked up, my exams are near, my books are unattended, and I'm going blind.
Such is life.
No More iMood Updates?
I accidentally deleted my iMood updater when I was clearing out my bookmarks (I'm a neat freak on the computer). Heh. Now I'm too lazy to shimmy over and update my iMood. ;P
See The Book?
So how does Miss Daynah tell Miss Pei to study? ;) A picture is worth a thousand words!
Sleep Is Good For The Blood
I bet everyone remembered when Lele used to tell me to go to sleep. I guess I have my turn to bug someone to do that too. ;)
That is what happened to my mini sketchbook. ;P Sorry if it looks a little weird, I'm not used to writing extra huge letters. *chuckles*
It Can Only Lasts You So Long
Flirting can only go so far before you get the whole world pissed (or rather extremely annoyed) at you. Hmm. Dropping your friends at the sight of a hot guy/girl is falls in that category too. It does get highly irritating when everytime they open up their mouth, it's a whole flurry of fake, flirtatious words.
How unfortunate I have a couple of friends who is exactly like that. *sigh* Makes you wonder if there are anything in between their ears other than pink candy floss.
Online Translators Are Overrated
Hehe. I'd like to advise that online translators are not meant to used to carry on a conversation with anyone who is not even the least bit familiar with the original language before it is translated (and severely whacked up by the translator).
It's probably only meant for those to needs to make sense of a bunch of text that they vaguely understand, but not entirely. :P
I am struggling rather hard to understand a flurry of text (in ICQ) that has been translated from either Spanish or Italian to English. And the grammar is just whacked, so everything becomes rather mixed up.
Of course, there are suggestions that I just use the Pikachizer to carry on the conversation...
Pixelation Request?
*snickers* Someone is being awfully obvious here. And I have not pixelated anyone since a long, long time. I'm not even sure if I know how to pixelate a guy.
And heck, I don't really know how you look like. Haha. The people I've pixelated so far has webcams, so I generally know how they look like!
I think. Well, all of them are digitalized from Tiffany's cartoon drawing, save for Lele's.
So Near Yet So Far
Cessy: oh yeah....
Cessy: there's a protag meeting this friday
Cessy: in singapore
Pei: Oh?
Pei: Who who who?
Cessy: wanna come??
Cessy: lol
Pei: Bah. I can't! *WHINES*
Cessy: me, blissy, reverie, rah, aspens, gerbera and probably probe
Pei: :'(
Pei: /me feels left out
Cessy: *smacks* it's not like we didn't want you to come
Cessy: COME TO SINGAPORE!!!!!!!!!
It is tres annoying that it is just what I cannot do until December! And I don't even know when, if I can, I'm going to Singapore. Stuff like getting transportation, accomodation, and companion (yes, even the last one is important in case I get lost in Singapore, at least I have someone with me) are such a hassle!
Bah. >:O! And I don't even know if the day (or days?) I'll be in Singapore are the days when the Singaporean Protagonists are free! We're all busy people after all. Hrmph.
P.S.: I shall refer to all members of the Protagonist Boards as the Protagonists from here onwards. It's easier for me to type and sounds nicer anyway. Hehe.
Time Passes But Things Are Still The Same
*sigh* I just received in my email a forward with an attachment of the famed photo of "Malaysia Under Attack!", a fake picture of the Petronas twin towers getting attacked and bursting into flames.
Why do people still make fun of such things? It's been 1 month and 11 days already.
The Electric Mouse Conversation
Here's an interesting piece of AIM conversation:
Pei: Pika pi?
Daynah: pika!!!
Pei: pi pikachu!
Pei: :)
Daynah: pika pika pppi kaka chu!?
Pei: chu? piiiika!
Daynah: pi pi.. pika pi.. pika pika pi!
Pei: pika pi. pika pika chu?
Daynah: pika pika!! pi pi pika...chuuuuu.
*giggles* Is there a decoder for this? ;)
Edit: I would like to add that we are normally more sane than what this conversation appears to reflect about ourselves. Thank you for your attention. ;)
Downloading Trauma
Why is it that downloads tend to pick up speed when and only when I'm about to get offline? It's highly annoying. And I do mean highly annoying. Rawr.
And it's not an attitude I tolerate. *bitchslaps download*
Oh, I would like to know also why it is that I download faster from US servers instead of servers that resides in countries that are at a closer geographical location to Malaysia. That is very, very weird (considering all the hops it takes to get here)!
Get Radiation In Healthy Doses!
Urk. After a couple of hours of being exposed to computer radiation, I was fine. Started feeling great and well, in fact. Which was a great change from feeling like crap, having a massive headache, and feeling like throwing up.
But um... maybe I pushed it too far. The feeling of being sick is creeping back to me. I think I just somehow managed to make myself well and then sick again by sitting here doing nothing.
I guess one cannot take too much of such "medication" too.
Lesson #1?
A result of yesterday's lesson. ;P
Pika-Chu? Piiika!
From this, I found out that "Pei" in the language of a certain breed of electric mice is "chu".
Still
And ugh... after downloading for the first 15MB (do you know how friggin' hard it is to download a mere 15MB on a dail-up connection?) of the 640MB yesterday, today it tells me that I need the password and the username.
Bah. That means I have to start all over again from a different source. And that means I'm utterly pissed off. This would be the time when I throw in the towel (and throw it at whoever who is nearest to me) and go, "Fuck it, I don't give a damn anymore."
And I wonder why I care enough to still download it.
Exploding In 10 Seconds
I skipped school. There's really no reason for me to be awake right now. Other than this:
I think my head is going to explode pretty soon.
Temptation Waits
And so I've been learning a little bit about... Linux. Hmm. Well, conversing with him on that issue, that is. I sound like a confused little girl, true, but that's all right because he's more than willing to explain. :) It all sounds amazingly interesting, and also amazingly complicated.
*snickers*
I am interested.
It's like a dare, some sort of a challenge that I just have to take up, even if I might end up not using it in the end and stick to Windows. I am not naturally a daredevil, at least not anymore. I don't feel the need to take up challenges to prove something. But sometimes I just can't pass by these oppurtunities. They are too tempting!
But downloading a 640MB file on my dail-up connection? O_o
New Layout At The-Protagonist.Net
I messed around with my desktop appearance settings yesterday night and came up with a spiffy blue look to match my downloaded Bad Cat wallpaper. So when I loaded BLOGGED today, I thought somehow the colors in IE got fucked up and all.
And to my utter shock, The-Protagonist.Net has a new layout! And it is yum! Lauryn has once again outdone herself!
Yes, that means you must go and see it!
Mantra For Every Morning
I should not skip school. I should not skip school. I should not skip school. I should not skip school. I should not skip school.
Repeat until understood.
What Else Falls From The Sky?
I really do not want to go to school in a couple of hours time. :\ I'm having a really bad headache now. I guess one of the other bad habits I should stop is my late nights during school days since that would mean early mornings. Ugh. Like today.
And it's cold. It really is. It's monsoon season already? It has been raining a lot.
I should start thanking someone that I'm not experiecing autumn or winter which would be a lot more chillier. While a not-so-hot weather is nice... I don't think I can tolerate freezing myself off. Heh. Living near the equator line has its good points.
Snow is a weird concept to me. Falling ice? The only thing that has fallen from the sky so far is water, rocks, and occasionally bubblegums. Oh yes, people spit them from the upper floors.
I make sure not to walk anywhere that has no roof.
Habits Resurrection
Augh. I really should stop cracking my knuckles (this is something that is introduced by my second eldest brother back when I was 10 or younger or something). The habit is supposed to be dead and gone already! >:O Why all of the sudden I find myself doing that all over again?
Grr.
The Bad Cat
Oooh, I like! Especially this. Hehe! And this really suits my mood just about now, even if I don't wear pink. Hah.
And so, my previously empty desktop (because I was too lazy to make a wallpaper) became this! ;) I rarely put up such wallpapers, or even any that I download that looks rather ordinary, but I love the words and I love cats and I love the paw prints.
Hrm... so maybe Pei is a little more girly than she lets on, but that's okay. ;P
Why Would You Want To Fall In?
I wish I can tell you otherwise. Life isn't all that pretty on this other side. I've been here for a long time, this world of living in an ice fotress looking out, the more cynical world. I want out. But it's hard to crawl out when you've fallen in. I'm trying, but it's hard.
Why on earth do you want in?
What A Way To Start A Day
Ugh. Now I'm all worked up and in a heckuva bad mood. Rawr. It's just past midnight too. Not getting any sleep soon, I suppose.
And I have school in less than 7 hours.
Read The Friggin' Installation Manual
When you can't properly install something, or that it doesn't work, please check the installation manual. That damn thing is there for a reason. It irks me when my brother tries to install it (I offered to install the damn cam on the laptop, but he refuses and says he can do it himself, so I let him be and left him with the advice to read the installation manual before he fucks up something since he had never installed any of those imaging stuff before), doesn't know what to do, and demands for me to help him out.
How rude!
And when I asked him if he had read the manual, he said no. What the hell?! I specifically told him to (even if I'm the type that never reads manuals, at least I know when to claim I don't know when I really don't know instead of trying to do something that I have no clue on), he ignores it and tries to install the damn thing without even knowing the basics of what to do.
>:O!!! I had to uninstall it and reinstall it again. Rawr. And I had another row with him because he is pissy at me for telling him to read the manual, claiming that I don't read it anyway so why should he?
Well, because I know how to install it, dammit!
Err... Oops?
Is it a cause of worry if someone who is not supposed to find your site finds it?
Secret URLs
*snickers* Someone is searching for a secret URL to get a sneaky preview of my upcoming journal or layout? Too bad I don't get addresses that are so obvious. Muahahahahahaha.
Please keep your ideas to yourself until I get around launching it, for goodness' sake! *thwaps*
Another Camera?!
I have... *drumrolls* two cams plugged into my computer at the moment! Muahahahahahaha. The other camera is my dad's, which he just bought yesterday. While the quality image as a webcam is a whole lot better than Logitech's Quickcam Express, it sucks compared to Intel. ;P Yes, I'm playing favoritism.
But anyway. Oi. How strange it feels to watch myself from two angles!
P.S.: Yes, it seems as though my dad is a techie freak. ;P Ah well, I get to enjoy the benefits of having one such dad then. Yay.
Backstage Secrets
*smiles* I have taken piano before even if everyone thinks I haven't. Took it for a couple of years. Could've been three years or four years, I'm not sure. Switched a few dozens of teachers. Can't stand all of them but one (and she moved to the US, bah), so I quitted.
Piano is the thing that made my little fingers, especially the one on the right, crooked (from stretching the fingers and bending them to hit on the keys properly). Everyone who has learnt piano since young that I know of has a crooked last finger. I think the smaller your hands are, and the longer you have taken up the instrument effect how crooked it will get.
And I heard that people who learns ballet from a really young age has strangely pointed feet. Yes? No? Yes? No? I wouldn't know, because I don't know anyone who learns ballet and neither do I take it up or anything. But apparently from friends' cousins who does, it is that way.
People who take up serious self-defense arts (without weapons) like karate basically punches the wall to kill all of their pain receptors at the knuckles. Scary! I saw all the scarring and bruises and peeling skin at the knuckles on my friends and brother who took up karate. *winces* That gotta hurt so bad. I think taekwondo is more to patterns than anything else, so I don't know.
These are some of the not-so-pretty backstage secrets. Kind of reminded me of Anne Rice's Cry to Heaven where the singers were all worshipped but the backstage stuff are not that pretty (the castration and all). How people suffer for their talents, yes? Hehe.
Not that I am talented in piano, that is. Hehe. I think I'm going to have something bad happening to my lungs since I inhale so much of those paint fumes (?!). Oh dear.
Adding To My Collection
Yay! I just got an Aspens.Org forwarding email! I just sent a test email and it works! *gasp gasp*
Thank you, Meng Hon!
*dances*
Hehe. So now any emails sent to pei@aspens.org will reach me too. :D I'm a crazy forwarding email collector.
Hmm. I really should set up a page listing down my forwarding emails before I forget all of them. Hehe.
Links Update!
I updated the links to other weblogs with Davey and Ashie! Now, aren't you proud of me? :D I have more weblogs to visit now to fill up my rather boring net life.
*poke* You people really should visit them too, because they be sexy bastards. ;P
Conform!
*giggles* Yes, it's the time for the quiz rage! ;) Now, why on earth do I see a "cessy@dizzily.net - Priscilla is putting you to the test!", hmm?
Hehe!
Food Comes To Haunt Me
Now, why is it that when I am dreadfully hungry, half the net is talking about food? They were talking about food in #protagonist, and then the few other weblogs I visit had new posts that was talking about food too!
Augh. Evil. You are all evil! *shoots death glare at everyone*
25% Of Getting It Correct (If You Don't Think)
Ha, well, I'm feeling more than just a little guilty for that quiz I made. It was pretty difficult if I had not been me, so I gather it is difficult for everyone else. Like Samantha says, "How the hell would I know about ___?!"
Well, feel free to yell at me for it. I really shouldn't have started asking the virtually impossible-to-answer questions. Teehee. But it does test your luck though. You have 25% of possibility in getting it correct as there are four answers for the 10 multiple-choice questions. :D
If you haven't done the questions yet, err... when you're doing it, don't feel bad about getting the answers wrong because almost everyone did anyway. ;P
Time Changes Everyone
*sigh* I'm just going through some of my old paintings at Expression. Those that I drew in 1999 are... uh... eww. =\ And those few are the better attempts I had during then too, because those paintings that I am not satisfied with usually end up being torn up and thrown into the rubbish bin.
Bleah. I really, really sucked bad. But I bet in a few years time, I'll be looking back and thinking my 2001 paintings suck too.
Expression Updated
I updated Divination's Expression with a new painting (well, not really new since it's dated last month, but I just uploaded it a few minutes ago). I hope you are all happy now. >:O
Now stop bugging me for updates, because I have not finished any other paintings, sketches, or writings lately. ;P
We're Best Friends For A Reason
Dear Pei,
God must have spent a whole lot of time on you. I want you to know that. I lost the only one I loved, my uncle before I met you. I must say that I have been blessed with a beautiful angel--you.
If I was given the choice of you and life, I'd choose you. You're the best thing that I could ever have and I will forever treasure you in my heart. I love you and I want you to know that. I love you girl and I always will.
From
Joan
I wonder... did she know that she was my angel too? It sounds silly to everyone else, but sometimes, it just seems that way. I don't necessarily believe in the supernatural, and I don't even have a religion.
But it's like we're all little angels sent to guide someone (or someones) in this lifetime.
For Those Who Lost Their Smile
I loathe forwards. Especially when they are lame, useless, forwards about making a wish and forwarding this or else your wish will not come true. Or bad luck will fall upon you if you break the chainmail.
But sometimes they can be cute, sweet, funny, whatever. The title of this blog post is exactly the title of the forward I got, so I was rather curious about it. Yes, a good, eyecatching title does prompt one to open up emails.
Well, if you wanted a reason to smile more, here: Click! Click! Click!
Thought I'd share it here instead of flooding your emails. ;)
P.S.: There are three more of these, but they aren't as cute...
Quizzical Me!
W00t! I've gotten a 90/100 for Lele's nifty quiz and 90/100 for POOCH!E's stumpingly hard quiz and a 100/100 for Kig's rather cute quiz! *grins*
But maybe it's just cause the answer is most of the times more obvious? Bah. Well, I should not be one to create quizzes then, because no one will be able to answer them!
For Lauryn's, I'm the nameless person from Malaysia who got an 80/100. ;P
What About The Pie?
*laughs* Okay, I just made a self-quiz at QuizYourFriends.Com. And I sent it to a few people (tell me if you want to try it out, because I have to email that darn thing instead of posting a link here, and I didn't email it to a lot of people because I figured you people probably have a lot of busy things to do than answering trivia questions about me). So far only Lele and Kig took it, and they both claim it to be really hard!
Ackers. I didn't realize that! I didn't even know what to ask, and I thought those questions were rather common and dowdy and boring and easy (and most the answers can be plucked from my site and weblog, I think?). I mean... uh...
I guess I'm not really open about myself after all. =\
Quarantine Time Soon
I'm so, so tired. *smiles tiredly*
I really have to start a self-quarantine from the computer and the Internet soon. Ugh.
And I don't know whether to hope that I fail quarantining myself and get online anyway and proceed to risk flunking my exams (and having one heck of a hard time getting into colleges or whateverie), or succeed in quarantining myself and suffer two months of isolation from the net world studying and get depressed and have a possibility of getting better exam results and getting into a better college (well, if I haven't killed myself yet by then, because I am no workaholic!).
Uh. Both has its pros and cons. I'm not really sure...
Help, someone?
New Layout At Star
*giggles* New layout at Star, to follow up on the weblog layout! Oh yes, like everyone else, I love the little faces (heads?)! Teehee! I looked so shocked. ;P
I'm A Person Who Can Laugh At A Funeral
I have very, very hilarious friends with very, very hilarious ideas. ;) If you have been visiting some of my friend's weblogs lately, you'll see something very alike in them.
*chuckles* I did not expect them to actually pull through with that brainchild though!
I love my friends. Really. They make me laugh even when it's not a laughing matter. ;)
Birthday Wish + New Layout
It's Cessy's birthday too! Woohoo, Happy 19th! :D And also, she has a new weblog layout up over there, so yes, you must visit it because it rocks and also because she is the Cessy!
Private, Made Public
W00t. I am so good with words. My post was so long! :D I could've been writing a freaking essay in here. *chuckles*
But I'm darn glad to get that out of my chest. And yes, I thought I was just being paranoid. But somehow, you changed my mind. It takes a lot to do that too, so you must be one heckuva talented person to have the ability to do so many things that by some strange coincidence gets on my nerves. You must be psychic. :D
And you must be the person who got this treatment the first time I ever blew up. Lucky you.
I tried settling it through private conversations. It didn't work. So I am hanging the dirty laundry right here, publicly. I mean, who gives a fuck, right?
You can't turn back time, and neither can I. You can't imagine how I long to do so. But you can, well, forget I've ever existed. Delete the archives. Don't visit my site anymore. Perhaps in a few months time, I won't exist in your mind anymore. You're right. Why the hell do you care to argue to me? You've never even met me.
The Message Got Through
*smiles* I think my post got to the person. And I see that that person still comes here. No matter how egocentric you make me sound in an attempt to hurt me, I was right, and that gives me a feeling of triumph. You still visit my site. Do you know how goddamn obvious you made it?
Well well well. I can't stop that, unless I am intent on banning the IP, and thus banning possibly the whole area. I don't really mind doing that; I just see no point in it. But when, though, will you learn that enough is enough?
I am patient. I feel evil today. I think I shall keep on hurling insults if need be. And you shall listen. Isn't it a fun game? I like being childish too.
And oh yes, I read what you wrote. I didn't care to read you anymore after that day when I thought everything was over and I can live my own life again like it used to be, but something someone told me directed me to your place again. And then I know it's not over. It's far from over.
I am evil. I am proud. I am paranoid. I am narcissistic. I am immature. I am mean. I am selfish. So how much more negativeness should I implement on myself to make you loathe me so much that you will never come here again?
Stalk my friends, you say? Hmm. True, I was the one who gave you access to their sites. But when I was directing more hits to their sites, I did not intend on directing a psychopath stalker there. Stalk, if you like. But who says you have to be annoying? Those are two very different things. Oh, and by the way, I just got some news that you're a hypocrite as well. Wow. I did not realize that until it was pointed out to me.
I think I tend to make some very, very bad choice, and one of them is being nice to almost everyone I meet online. I'm regretting talking to some people now, and one of them is you. I should never have spoken a word to you, and then maybe I would not even know of your existance, and I would not waste time typing out this post.
The opposite of love is not hate. It's indifference. Right now, I'm enjoying it so much that I am affecting you with my words. Learn to feel indifferent about me and what I say, and that's when I will stop because I wouldn't matter anymore to you. You wouldn't give a damn to whatever I say.
Don't you want that too?
Yay? Yay.
Birthday Wish
It's Stephanie's birthday. Happy Birthday, girl. :) I miss talking to you. But I hope you're coping all right with college and your music. Good luck in everything you do.
Not Only Just A Cam
*grins* I'm putting my cam into good use by using it as a substitute mirror since my room is still lightless. But no, it's not uploading images into the net. ;P
Don't Stalk Us!
Oh, wait, good. Now that I have calmed down a little, a new idea pops up.
Maybe I was just being paranoid. Maybe that person doesn't stalk me anymore, but prefers to stalk all of my friends.
That would require some thought. What do you think?
It Is My Illogical Rights To Do So
I'm sorry I have to post this. Things are getting too far, even when I thought it was over and done with. To those who reads me often, this is going to be harsher than my average post. And it's targeted to the one person who is just being an annoying fuck (yes, I don't give a damn anymore, because all the reasons in the world does not justify one being extremely irritating). It went from scary to pesky. How things change, indeed.
Oftentimes I feel guilt for what that I should not feel guilty for. But I do anyway. It's not explainable, it's not even reasonable. But that is okay, because it is my friggin' right to be completely illogical because I am female.
Oh, nice logic there, isn't it? ;) I'm just kidding, but hey. It could come in handy someday when I feel irrational again.
So anyway, getting back on track, today isn't very well at all. Mainly because the claustrophobic feeling is back again, but I do not give a fuck. Thanks to Blissy and Tiffany for updating me on a certain case (you know what I'm saying). I was still feeling guilty about it up till today, especially when I caught some form of comments that could be linked to me, but no more. My guilt is wasted. I think some times, we just have to be cruel to be kind.
Some people cannot take the hint to fucking leave me and my friends alone. What right is there for you to invade into my life and inflict fear and hatred in everyone?
You know who you are. Do I have to spell it out for you?
'Nuff Said
Seeing: Well, GM admin panel.
Looking: Really bad.
Surfing: Verbiage, getting my daily dose.
Listening to: The buzz of my thoughts.
Feeling: Numb.
Doing: Typing. Chatting. Eating lunch. Drinking grass jelly drink. Hey hey, my life is so interesting.
Thinking: I just flunked my Biology. But Physics was okay. And now my connection is being a whore.
I'm sick of daily humdrums. Can't today be better and more entertaining (and perhaps exciting?) for once?
Dreaming Of You
Oh, looky, I'm in Lele's dreams. ;P That was a first. Hehe. I have yet to actually dream of someone I met online.
Well, I have yet to actually dream.
Ouchie...
:'( I burned my finger. I did not realize that the plate would stay to friggin' hot after such a long time off the stove! Bah. And to think that I was being a really good girl and cleaning up the table.
Other than that, dinner was great. Yum.
OekakiPoteto Mouseart
I was bored. And feeling oh-so-creative (I wasn't, actually). And very curious about the new thing: OekakiPoteto.
And thus, I Got Pei-ed Daynah's Oekaki board. Yep! Mouseart, again. This is my first try with limited tools and using OekakiPoteto. Hehe. It doesn't really look much like a pie like I would've liked it to (did I lose you in that sentence?), but oh well. It'll do. Unfortunately it's not showing at Daynah's board, so I have to save it and upload it into GM instead. :'( Maybe it hates me.
Oh, and I was lucky enough to be drawing the picture #13 too. ;)
New Weblog In The Scene!
And while we're at it, Kig finally launched his very own weblog, Soapbox! The blogging monster wishes you good luck in surviving in this crazy blogging world. ;)
New Layout At Seraphic
Ohmigosh ohmigosh ohmigosh! Tiffany's the new layout is so cute! Hehe! I'm not a fungi person (heck, I was scared when I visited the Mushroom Farm in Genting Highlands when I was a kid), but damn girl, that was just cute!
Augh. Now I feel like redesigning. >:O And I cannot afford to do that!
Terminator!
*giggles* TMtouch tells me that my credit limit is RM500, and that I should pay up before they terminate my line.
Well, more like, "Please be informed that your credit limit is RM500. Your line may be disconnected in the event you exceed the limit. Kindly contact our service centres for details. Sender: 1188"
It meant the same thing anyway. ;P I think this is the 3rd or 4th SMS about my credit limit for the past two weeks.
Oh well. I think when they end up terminating the line, I'll just enjoy the free SMS-ing (if I can, that is... the last I know of I should be able to do that).
Not Dead Yet
Augh. I'm sorry. :( I didn't mean to neglect the weblog. Honest! I just realized how little I've been blogging in here. *sigh*
I haven't been online or on the computer a lot either. =/
But for what it's worth, I did update the journal rather consistently as of late, so you people know I'm not dead... well, not yet, that is.
Internet Search Trend
Why is people searching for "a suicidals diary" lately? I've got five hits from there alone today. And that does not include other forms of searches with the word "suicidal".
Hrm. Curious. It was "aneroxia" before. Must be some kind of Internet search trend thing.
Less Than 37 Degrees
On top of a sucky immune system, a specraptular concentration, I think I just morphed into a cold-blooded creature (in a scientific sense, where one's body temperature is relative to one's surroundings). I'm fucking cold the whole day through. I thought I'm supposed to retain the 37 degrees Celcius (that would be 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit or 310 Kelvin).
I don't feel 37 degrees Celcius. It's too fucking cold to be 37 degrees.
Walking Medicine Cabinet
It sucks being sick. I can't believe I can't even sleep to escape the pain. The worst part is that I am still sick, and tomorrow is the toughest battle I'm going to fight in the whole week. Chemistry and Physics, both Paper 2. I haven't properly studied because I cannot concentrate on the words... they kept swimming around in my head but made no sense whatsoever.
It hurts too that apparently fate is against me as well. The knowledge that is already in my head can only get me as far as a D in the trials. I don't want another D in my post-trial... or another couple of them. But I don't know enough to acquire myself a pretty, pretty A, let alone some of them.
And my mood hasn't quite lifted either. What the hell is wrong with me?
I think I... um, need to take some medication to make up for my sucky immune system. But I don't really know what is wrong with me, so no medication there lest I poison myself unintentionally.
I wish that there is no school today. *sigh* Moreover, I wish there is no exams.
I wish I can disappear.
Time Has Come To Give Myself Up
Ack. I fell asleep while I was trying to study. Woke up about thirty minutes later, feeling extremely tired. And now I have a headache (a hangover from the nap?).
Ugh... I cannot concentrate on the text anymore! And exams start in less than 12 hours time!
*runs around amok*
So anyway, I un-password-protected the cam. *yawn* Well, I've been planning to do that for some time since apparently the image grabber is focused on attacking the old URL which no longer exists. Figured the new one should work fine.
But then again, it's not like I have much time to go around playing with the cam much.
Okay, back to work (well, actually, I'm going to attempt to wake myself up with a freezing cold shower... it should work, I think). See ya!
This Is Such Garbage!
*giggles* Blingo is one heckuva hilarious language. Eyes, reminds me of Manglish. Both of them are certainly not golf, at least not to me!
Sweat! ;D
Starry, Starry Night
Stars, stars, stars. Since I previously had blogged about the plastic straw stars I made (it was a tedious process, believe me), I figured I might as well blog about the paper stars too. It had been a long time since I had such time to dedicate to such things.
Here's some of the paper stars I made back in 1997 or so. It's supposed to be maroon and light beige, not red and yellow (or whatever colors that comes up there, hehe). I love those color combination. Was planning to make enough to fill up one of those pretty glass bottles, but I never got around getting a glass bottle to fill up. Teehee.
And... this is even longer back. Stars from 1995. Yes, I was a crazy girl with too much free time in her hands. Some of them are plastic and some of them are paper, but all of them are made using the paper stars method. The plain yellow stars here are a different batch from the first one. The shiny red-and-gold ones are plastic, made from old Chinese New Year decorations. *grins* But if I have one advice for anyone... don't attempt folding these stars with plastic. Augh. It was stressful because plastic is of a smooth, slippery surface. Believe me, you don't want to go on after the 5th star or so. Hehe. Only crazy people like the 1995 me will be nuts enough to do it. But they are cute. ;P
Okay... so there's my little stars story. Now shoo! ;)
Coming Back Here
Did anyone miss me? I have been gone for a day and a half. But I'm still alive.
Oi. I loathe studying to the core. *sigh*
Images + Email = Lost
Ugh. Where is my whore of a friend? >:O I'm supposed to send her her scanned photos and also my trial cover design. I do not want to flood her email with it since it's huge (and she uses... oh dear, Hotmail, the perpetual email deleter).
Ah, bah. Whatever. I'm getting offline.
Scheduled Deathday
And I updated my calendar with my post-trial exams schedule. :'( Exams again?
Augh.
Lately, I'm Not Who I Used To Be
I think my dad is going to be so proud of me. I haven't been online much lately. :)
Lately as in the past two days, of course. :P
Sweet Memories
When #protagonist was new... Lele bugged me to sleep almost every day. ;P But looks like my tendancy to not sleep till early hours in the morning rubbed off on her too! Muahahahahaha. Now she's another vampire in the chatroom. ;)
And um, there was once when there was three goddesses in the chatroom (and there were princesses and queens because there was no room for more than three goddesses... or so we claimed). Now no one else retains that title.
Ah, memories. I used to talk so much in there. Sure wish I can go back to the time when I'm actively chatting and actively posting. It was so much fun.
Edit: Soon after posting this, Kig ICQ-ed me with "go sleep!" and Daynah IM-ed me with "GO TO BED lol". And note, it's afternoon. Where is the logic in this world? ;P
Do Not Eat The Pie!
pei: the non-edible pie of the chat room. she always gets a huge welcome whenever she arrives.
*giggles* Aww... yeah, do not eat the pie! ;) Nice impression you have of me, I see! ;)
I don't even remember what was my first impression of the chatters, but since everyone was new then... wait, I think I chatted more back then. Now I just lurk and occasionally talk. :P I've lost the ability to talk a lot.
But... yes, we were wondering if you are one of Samantha's stalkers. Hehe! She seems to collect them too well.
Sing For Me
Why do some sentimental songs makes one feel sad?
New Layout At 7778
I don't know how you do it, but somehow you did it again. :) Superb new layout, and a very different style from your previous orange-green layout.
Rock on! :D
Self Memo
My poor computer is dying. Hehe. I need to reboot again, and then burn a goddamn CD for my friend before I forget to do so and she kills me in school tomorrow.
Oh well.
Strange Visitors From Nowhere
I'm a little suspicious. All of the sudden there are people visiting my main site again (nobody visits it anymore because I never quite, if ever, update it). The huge leap on the graph screams at me to find out what happened. But there is no referrals from some strange site.
Hrm... what the heck just happened?
Photo Gallery: Updated 01/10/09
Updated gallery with one new album (Et Cetera, it's semi-public until further notice) and some photos (taken with the webcam-posing-as-a-digital-cam) of my home and of Kemaman.
I'm planning to make some other albums public as soon as I get around adding and deleting some photos. That would be as soon as I can (but I'm not sure how soon that is since I'm having exams again on the 14th-18th). The only albums I plan to keep private are actually the pictures I have with my friends. They... well, don't quite appreciate seeing their photos publicly accessible online. *shrugs*
Damn, I really need to customize the colors of the gallery soon. I hate that color. Eww. But I actually have no color coordination in mind at the moment.
Oh wait, I do. Hmm. *lapse into deep thought*
A Moment Of Truth
ICQ truth? Reminds me of #protagonist truth or dare. ;)
Thinking up the questions and dare are the hardest part of the game. I never know what to ask. Or to dare. It has to be something interesting, but everything is just bland!
Oh well. :P
Not-So-New Discoveries
Hmm... B2. *nods* Looks interesting and easy to use. But I just reinstalled GM. Bah. I'll change again when I reach 500 posts (no more 1000, it's too stressful!). No idea if I'm deciding to reuse GM though, or change to something else.
Oh, and I just found out that I can use SSI with it too. Rawr. Why didn't I figure it out before? Hrmph. But... err, I still need to figure out how exactly. So if you find anything freaky happening to the weblog in the next few days, don't freak out. It's probably me messing with the templates.
Maybe Tomorrow
Today... I have no words. I feel tired, worn out, and among other things, I just want to be silent. School hadn't been the best thing to start off the day with. And I had a few pretty tense discussions with several friends.
Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
Counting The Time
Ah, fucky! I don't think any of the clocks in my house has the correct time anymore. Rawr. I think someone maliciously changed all of it to confuse me!
Why am I up at such a freaky hour?!
...
Oh wait. That's right, I have school. *frowns* But I still think the clocks are at wrong.
Photo Gallery: Updated 01/10/07
Well, I am done uploading some photos to the gallery! At least for tonight. None of what I uploaded are recent photos though. Some old school photos, some childhood photos...
Err, yeah. Basically you see me growing up year after year. I'll get around to the more recent photos later (those would be the batch I "conveniently" forgot to scan).
But of course, you won't see anything other than the KerfuffleCam album unless you're logged in with the correct username and password. I'm keeping it password-protected for now until I figure out what I actually want the public to see and what I want to keep private among the few of my friends.
Email me if you, for some reason or other, want to see the photos (well, it's nothing interesting, but you could be bored enough to!). Or just comment to this post and remember to leave your email. GM automatically emails me the comments anyway.
Right now I have to take a shower, dry my hair, pack my bag, read, and sleep. I have school tomorrow (did you realize I skipped today's school?). Getting up early in the morning is not my idea of fun.
*yawn* Okay, time to get off the computer. Nighty night, people.
White With A Dash Of Red
Talking about white, clean, and fresh background, there's a new layout at Projeckt 1431184. :) But I see blood. *blinks*
Get Fresh!
Someone just told me that the side graphic gives him a headache. *grins* If someone starts complaining in my comments, I'll try my best to change it so that it's not so headache-inducing.
The thing I like about the new layout is that it has a white background. Plain, simple, and fresh-looking. :D
A Guy's Girl?
Hmm... well, I guess you were wrong on that. =/ I might've been Rachel Green in "Friends", but instead of a Sorority Sister, I am a Guy's Girl (I am?!). Here's what it says:
Turn on the game and pop the top off a cold one! You're a true Guy's Girl — the easy-going, baseball-cap-wearing, jeans-and-flannel-shirt type. Hot dogs and chips are an essential part of your diet, and tossing a ball around is second nature. Definitely low-maintenance and very natural, there's still plenty of femininity under your tomboy exterior. Breaking out the little black dress and heels every once in a while knocks your guy's socks off. Besides knowing the latest sports scores and stats by heart, you actually enjoy hanging out with "the guys." In a romance, you're your man's pal as much as his squeeze, and he never has to worry about playing head games with you. The perfect mix of the girl next door and the sporty chick, you're spontaneous, fun, and all-American.
P.S.: Of course, the test did not know that I am definitely not American. And I barely pay attention to sports. Read about the other contestants?
The Disappearing Act
I think I forgot to scan something. :P Well, a lot of things. I spent about 15 minutes rooting around for that picture yet I cannot find it! Where is it? Did I forget to scan it?
Most likely. Ugh.
*sigh* Well, you'll live without seeing the photos. *grin* You are not missing out on anything, I swear. Other than a chance at getting blinded.
But if you want to know how I feel, I'm vaguely irritated at my absent-mindedness. It's not often when I feel like scanning something. I have my moods.
Hrm.
Multi-Tasking Queen?
Hmm... so other than all the crazy programs I have running (Editpad, mIRC, Outlook Express, ICQ, AIM, 7 windows of Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, Norton Anti-Virus, Protector Plus 2000, WinAmp, Paint Shop Pro), I'm also dubbing some tapes for my dad, transferring scanned photos from my dad's laptop to my computer by floppy disks, and eating lunch at the same time.
*chuckles* I need to stop all the rush job. All this is going to end up in a mess.
In Your Inbox
Some emails are so freaky they're scary. It would've been easier to ignore if them if they did not sound obsessive and stalker-ish. Those are haunting. But I suppose most people learn to ignore them.
I'm tempted to think of them as pure spam (even if it does not sound like spam), but why is my URL mentioned there? Um, well, hopefully it's some new technique in the spamming industry.
On the other hand, I think it's possible. I've received junkmail with my URL somewhere in the message before, but mainly about "buying my own domain".
*nods*
Snail Pace
Everything is moving at an ultra-slow pace right now because I'm on a friggin' 14.4kb modem! Augh! This is so much worse than my computer (well, obviously).
And I need to upload something too. *frowns*
Larger Than Life
I'm irked at the 800x600 setting now. Ugh. Everything is so huge! Including what I am typing here. Blah. The largeness of everything actually makes my eye strain.
Not to mention I open less windows yet the taskbar is so friggin' cluttered. Rawr!
Drowning, Drowning
Ahhhhh!!! This is the very first time I am on "Online" status for months, and the moment I get online, I am bombarded with ICQ messages! Help!
I am drowning! Augh. And terribly distracted from something I'm supposed to be doing too... -_-;;
I am using my father's laptop at the moment. Rawr.
Take It Slower
Oh, and by the way, I was planning not to blog like crazy in this weblog. You know... attempt not to reach 1000 posts in 4 months time. I find that a little too insane, even for me. The sheer impossibility of it hits me like a tone of bricks.
I need to take things slower. Stop and smell the flowers. Or something. This is unhealthy, dammit. It has to be.
But it doesn't seem like I'm succeeding in slowing down, am I? This is already the 7th post in this new weblog, and god-knows-what-th for today. Half of the addiction today was because of the excitement to reach the 1000th post, and also because with a new weblog, posting is so fast and easy.
Plus, I think I think too much of these random thoughts. My brain hurts.
Mission Impossible: Scanner-Frenzy
Okay. I'm going to seriously attempt to tackle the scanner tonight. And I'll try to scan in some photos (let's hope there's no annoying green lines like the last time I tried scanning in something...). I'm going to scan in my latest completed painting too. And I have a friend's photos to scan.
What else? Hmm. What else is there for me to scan before I get lazy again and don't scan anything for one millenium?
Opposite Of Everything I Want
My browser has serious issues! Gah. It caches everything, and it's difficult to tell if someone had posted new posts on their weblogs or updated their journal (weblogs and journals are the two main types of sites I visit daily). *frowns*
Irritating! >:O
On the side note, I seriously need to see the sun more. The vampire I am, I'm steadily growing so pale that I'm translucent. I freak myself out with those veins.
When It's Over
Well, the excitement of the new weblog and layout is over, and now I'm feeling dreadfully bored again. *sigh* I need something to do! And, um, I'm having headaches again. I think it's from staring at the monitor too much, so I am going to get going in a moment (besides that, I don't think getting online for such long hours is all that good for me, I seem to be just wasting the time and money away).
I still wonder what I should paint. I need inspiration. Someone, inspire me.
The Past Is The Past
Heh, for some reason by rebuilding this weblog, I somehow fucked up the old weblog. Now it's all screwy (the font face and size, mainly).
But I cannot be bothered with it anymore. :P Over is over. I'm burying it in the past. Nothing doing. Bah.
I disabled commenting in the archives. =/ But even if I haven't, it wouldn't work anyway, so...
W00t!
I am such a dork! *thwaps self* But thankfully someone undorkified me by pointing out the obvious.
The layout actually works now. ;) No more problems, I think.
And everyone else can get on with the daily program. :D
First Post!
New weblog!!! Whee!!!
More places for me to crap. ;) Well, I blogged a whole lot earlier today to reach my 1000th post on the old weblog, so if you want to take a peek at the old stuff... here.
I'm crossing my fingers and hoping against hope that this layout actually doesn't produce any freaky errors.

[Glaring neon-pink fairy with a little of purple and blue on a black background. I got sick of it after a while, and it took so much loading time.]](tpa4.png)

[Features a bunch of little pixel people I made of my friends. Pull-down menus. This layout looks fucked up on any other browser that is not IE.]](tpa5.png)
