WeblogInfo
Eh? Well, I actually don't know what to write in here, but I figured you'd need some sort of introduction to my weblog, especially if you're new here. So... fine.

This is a weblog.

First started on December 10th, 2000 as part of my website. It somehow evolved into its own "site" after a while, or at least its own division.

I have a very clear, defining line for what is a weblog and what is a journal. While most people have fun mix and match both of them, I keep them apart. So... yeah. This is just for fun. For more indepth stuff, please head towards the journal.


CurrentStuff
Made with Paint Shop Pro 6, Editpad Classic 3.5.2, and some kind of font I was forced to use because I was too lazy to reboot and my computer was running on a lack of RAM. Created one fine midnight/morning of November 10th to release stress from exams without bashing up any pillows or stuffed animals. Tested on 1024×768 High Color, looks best on 800×600, but works on higher resolutions too. On friendly terms with Internet Explorer 5.5, Netscape 4.75, K-Meleon 0.6, and Opera 5.12 (which means it works on those higher versions too... I think). I apologize for the almost "babyish" look of the weblog. Launched on November 17th.

Weblog of a Toothpaste Addict 

[Very simple, non-fancy layout. Basically I took the coffee-cup image and slap on a cool-looking font that has been filtered repeatedly.]

Toothpaste Addict 

[Done in an hour of tinkering with Photoshop when I did not have my PSP with me. Simple again. I put this up just to get rid of the old one.]

Toothpaste Addict (All the Pretty Horses) 

[I really don't like this layout and I don't know what possessed me to put it up. Eww. It looks weird on higher-resolutions, but it works.]

T O O T H P A S T E a d d i c t {a little too girly to be true} 

[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.]

{splash into the world of} T O O T H P A S T E a d d i c t 

[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.]

What's With The Stuffed Animals?
Ever since Day 1 (since he bought his webcam), Meng Hon had been shoving stuffed animals onto his cam (and never once had we gotten a glimpse of the man behind the cam... he's probably behind the cam, literally). Did he get a webcam just to feature his collection of stuffed animals?

Well, if you're confused and wondering why the hell, you're not alone. I don't get it either.

But I'm chalking it up as another one of those "a Meng Hon thing to do". O_o

I'm Cold, I'm Alone, And I'm Hungry!
I'm cold. I don't know why either. It's been raining since I woke up, and it just stopped (or maybe it's now a drizzle?) a few minutes ago. What a whole lot of water there. Hours and hours of heavy rain. I suppose monsoon season is right on cue this time? I mean, the past several years the weather had seriously been fucked up (I mean, monsoon in August?!).

I'm also alone in the house. Parents went out to Kuantan, and goodness knows where my brother is right now. So the only thing that's keeping my company now is the 'net, the MP3s, and the irritating neverending chirping of the birds outside (yes, they are still doing that).

Furthermore, I'm really, really hungry right now. The last thing I ate was noodles yesterday's dinner at 7PM or 8PM-ish, and I didn't even eat much (I was picking around at the food instead of really eating it, I guess, and I didn't even manage to finish quarter of the plate). So the last time I actually ate a decent meal was yesterday's lunch.

*sigh* No food in the house either, and Friday equals the food stores (that are normally so easily accessible from my place) are closed. Rawr.

Perhaps I should raid the freezer and check for possible ice cream.

A Change Will Do You Good
Considering that school is over now, I want to get my hair streaked (or tipped) blue (probably without initial bleaching, in order to not look like a total freak). Celebrate freedom. Do something that I wasn't allowed to do before (that doesn't involve running around in school naked or horrible, horrible pain like multiple piercings on various body parts).

But from the talk of a lot of people who had their hair colored, I'm having second thoughts now. :\ Hair damage seems to be not a good after effect of hair-coloring.

I've Decided I Prefer Birds On The Plate
Okay, I'm up, I'm up (as of half an hour ago or so). I'm still friggin' sleepy though cause I slept at around 8AM, and I know it's a holiday (and 'sides, it's also a Friday), and not being able to sleep in really gets to me.

The reason why I'm up now is because of stupid birds chirping somewhere, and they are so fucking noisy. Imagine my surprise when I checked my mail, got the notification that Eliza has launched her weblog, and one of the two entries there are about damn birds chirping waking her up too on this happy Friday morning (it's afternoon now, but you get my drift).

Now we're two cranky, sleepy, and mad-at-the-birdies girls. Rawr.

Toothpaste. Addict.
I find it really funny how when I'm at my weblog replying to comments, my mother walked by and the first thing she saw (before I could scroll down and hide it) was the word "Toothpaste". And after that my father walked by and the first thing he noticed (again, before I could scroll down and hide it) the word "Addict" (and he started ranting about how I am an "addict"... of the net, of course).

I have no idea which word is more visible. ;P

Oh. And my webcam was so visible there too (that's the only reason why I scroll down... to hide the cam image). :P They didn't (or still don't?) know I have my cam online. I wonder what they'll think if they know? All that online privacy thingamabob.

*grins* Oh well. They never limited what I can or cannot do online, as long as it doesn't get myself (and everyone else) in trouble.

The Return Of The Possessed Mouse
I swear, something has possessed my mouse lately. It wouldn't scroll correctly, it wouldn't move correctly, it does nothing correctly! Grr. And sometimes the cursor would end up somewhere where I did not move it to, and click on all the wrong places (!!!).

I don't know what the hell is wrong with it!

Ponder On Superficial Decisions For Once
My brother is watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on VCD right now. I wonder if I should just give in and watch it on VCD, or wait until I get to go to the movies to see it on huge screen.

Desktop Wallpaper Needed
And since exams are over, I'm in need of a new desktop wallpaper (my current one displays my SPM schedule). I'm in the mood for something cool and futuristic-like. *frowns* And I'll make sure not to put up a countdown till January 28th. Why put myself in a gloomy mood when I don't have to? ;P

With some luck, I'll be able to rely on my keen sense of forgetfulness to forget that date until that very day itself. *chuckles*

Thank Goodness I Don't Get Heart Attacks
What the...!!! SPM results are coming out on the January 28th?!

I've heard that a couple of days ago, but I thought that person was sadly mistaken... it wasn't supposed to come out until March or April, isn't it? I mean, all the past years, their results wasn't released that fast!

!!!

Ohmigosh. D-day is closer than I thought!

And to add to the celebration, I just got the letter from Tiffany! :D :D :D

Clickety clickety! She even made me one of her famous butterfly origami. :) Thank you, Tiffius!

Methinks I'll spend a part of my holidays finally replying to all the mail I have not replied and write all the letters that I promised but never got around writing (or sending, since oftentimes I write and never end up sending them...).

And err... yes, apparently Pos Malaysia is being slow again.

Shut Up, Pei!
If I am a book, I would be:--

Stop the presses -- you're a Leatherbound!
Your tough exterior makes it especially hard to get a good read on your emotions. Instead of expressing how you feel, you prefer to keep things hidden away, tucked out of sight on the shelf. This strategy can keep your emotions safe and keep you from getting hurt. But it can also detract measurably from your personal relationships. Sharing your feelings strengthens friendships and creates intimacy in romantic relationships. Those who make themselves more difficult to read may find their personal relationships less satisfying. It can be very difficult for some people to open their emotions to others, but you should consider sharing just a few "chapters" that aren't too personal with a close friend. Dust off that old volume and open it up -- you might find that your friend responds in a very positive way.

Right... *blinks*

Wood Rats are supposed to be quiet ("shy and introverted") though (talking only when absolutely necessary, but one would find that hard to believe when they look at the chat stats). And... muahahahaha, a big ego as well. And I agree! ;P

What Watercolour Can't Do
I painted crap art today in school (for Art Paper 2; this be my trial art I did at home, but the one I did in the exam is far worse due to a lot of factors that I shall elaborate later). And because I was so irked at how badly I did in school, I attempted to distract myself with another form of art.

My second attempt at Paint BBS (and first time attempting anything anime/manga-ish... big eyes, colorful hair, you name it), this time at The-Protagonist.Net Oekaki Board. Clickety (#71)!

Err... I didn't know what else to put for the caption. *shrugs* Oh, and I kind of wish I have those drawing tablets thingy. Would've been easier to draw, instead of using a crappy mouse that doesn't roll smoothly half the time! Hrm.

Maybe I should stick to pencil+paper+scanner instead of this. O_o The good thing about computer art is that you don't have to wait for the friggin' thing to dry on a rainy day (that's factor number one when my art was crap today, other than the lack of time).

Irritating Browser Tendencies
My browser has a habit for refreshing the page automatically when it takes too long to load it completely (i.e. when it times out).

It annoys the heck out of me because weblogs generally take ages to load. And when it reloads everytime it loads halfway, it kind of resemble a repeated cycle that never ends.

Which kind of means I'll never get around viewing the damn page if I don't click on the stop button.

Ah, fux0r. I just remembered something really bad (bad news for my painting too... *pets painting comfortingly*). :\

But go ahead and take much amusement on my problems. Might as well make some good use of it while it lasts.

Knocking Some Sense Into Myself
What am I doing here?! *repeatedly bangs head on keyboard*

Okay, Pei, enough blogging for tonight and work on your goddamn painting (and work on your goddamn speed too).

*sigh* I snapped a picture of it with my webcam earlier, unfinished and all. It's uploaded somewhere (and you'll know the URL if you know the right person to ask, or where to poke your nose to). Now I need to work on finishing it, and then I'll snap another picture and get some opinions from several friends on what to change (and how to change...?) before I sit for the exam.

Problems, problems, problems! I do loathe exams so.

Mental note to self: Remember to S-T-U-D-Y for Biology (the papers are tomorrow!). No more procrastinating. Nah-uh. Flunk another paper, you might as well just re-sit for the whole thing next year instead of going through with the rest of it.

You know what makes me laugh? The irony of all things in the world. And of all things to happen, this little bit of news tickled my twisted little sense of humor a little too much to be appropriate, considering the seriousness of it (and how it also affects me).

Almost Faded
I had a dream earlier, probably the first one with the involvement of an online friend. Don't quite remember what it's about, but Lauryn's in it, and I think it took place in her house because it doesn't look like my house, and we're in a house that I'm completely unfamiliar with. Oh, another factor to support that is because her sister was there too. ;P

But that one is only for local calls (outgoing, that is... I haven't tried incoming yet). I can't even call to my cell phone using that. Hrms. That kind of means I don't know and won't know the number to my own phone!

"Decommissioning Notice"
Was wondering what has happened to my voicemail account (since everyone has very much forgotten about 2bSURE.com's existance), so I logged in to check up on it. And the following is a snippet from an email, from a "Customer Service Department":

It is thus with much regret that I inform you, with effect from 19th December 2001, 2bSURE.com's web site www.2bsure.com and Local COMM Centres will be permanently shut down and will no longer be available thereafter. Should there be any data in your 2bSURE.com account that you would like to retain, please do log in to your account before 19th December 2001 and follow the appended suggestion.

So... yeah. I know some of you still retain an account there, so if you have anything of any importance in your account, just log in and copy (or save) it. Or something. You can also save your voicemails if you should still have it. Heh.

Either that, or you can just go ahead and have fun with voicemails until it shuts down.

Okay, so I've been online for quite a long time now. I must know when to quit it. *nods*

Perhaps while I'm offline I'll be able to do some studying and scratch up a new layout for Divination. Revamp everything. Or something. Put it up after SPM. It's in need of something new anyway.

Hey, well, if I don't do any of those, I think I'll be taking the site down. It's wasting space.

I've blogged quite some posts anyway (a blogging explosion!). ;) Enjoy. I'll be back later and update more if I have anything to say. But if there's none, this is my goodbye till I get to get online again.

I need to remind myself to throw out all the books and burn what must be burnt the moment I come back from school on the 28th. I've begun throwing out (well, taking out and rearranging them on the shelves outside my room) scores of school books and old textbooks for subjects that should no longer matter to me anymore.

Ah, the pleasure of seeing all the musty textbooks leave my room in a state of non-mess finally. Yay! And perhaps if I poke around a bit I'll find some long-forgotten treasure...? ;)

Jeez, I don't do shows. I'm not a circus animal, for goodness' sake, I don't do tricks just because I'm told to. I will damn well go on cam when I want to. You'll find more luck for cam shows if you go to some camwhore sites... *sardonic smile*

Blog Plugs, Again
Ah, well. While I was gone, just before I was grounded, people has been launching new layouts. So here's the plug:

On the day I put up my new layout, Sebastian (as the other insane SPM-er who is crazy enough to put up a new layout in the midst of exam) has a spiffy, clean-looking new layout. I like the green and white. Seriously. I don't know why either. It just looks different, and thoroughly fresh.

The very next day, of course, Verbiage adopted a brand new look. Mercurial. I love it. Tiffany did a superb job with the image. I like the choice of colors too. :D

And then... Dave has a new layout too. Hehe. He seems to use a lot of tables in his layouts... wonder how he does it. Insanity. ;P But regardless of that, his layouts always looked neat and organized, which makes reading a whole lot easier on the eyes. Yay!

Forced Hiatus
And this time it's not from blogging, it's not from journalling. It's from the net. Period.

Hello.

I've been... grounded from the net dating from November 18th (that's yesterday, hence the non-updates). Am I lucky or what? It's a good thing that Chativersary is over and that I've settled putting up the new layout. Enjoy it while it last. More about my getting grounded here. I've been told under no uncertain terms that I am to get online, I am to make any calls, I am to leave the house if it's not for school.

How's that for a life? And yes, you can get grounded at 17 (you are legally still under your guardian(s)/parent(s) supervision). I'm the living proof of that. But I don't really blame anyone for that. *sigh* My internet connection is a privilege, and when a privilege is abused, it's normally taken back. I abused it too much. :\

I'm actually here illegally at the moment and at the same time illegally using my father's office computer in the middle of the night, but that's another story. ;P I won't be on AIM or ICQ and most likely not mIRC either until I'm "allowed" to get online again. God knows when that will be... a day, a week, a month?! Gah. Drop me an email to say hi... or whatever. I'll check it sporadically (whenever I have a chance to). Or something.

Well... what else can I say? I'll miss you. *huggles*

Oh yeah. Today is the first day of the month the Muslims are fasting. Well, selamat berpuasa, and selamat buka puasa to all!

And during this month is when they would sell absolutely, irresistably delicious food of all types. *drools* These people really know how to make good food. Hehehe. I'm hungry now.

Make A Disability Something Positive
I can hardly blog too. :\ I never know if my blog post shows up because after I click "Add This Entry", it's give me a "Page Not Found", and I can't even check my own weblog to see if it posted. Blah.

But otherwise, commercial break's over and the blogging monster is back. Sorta.

Oh. I'm also a two(or three)-fingered typer. Nice to meet you too. Amazing that I've used the damn computer for so long and I still don't know and probably never will know how to type properly with the correct fingers on the correct keys.

And I use the index finger for the spacebar. ;P Using the thumb seems to slow down the process of typing, but heck, that would just be me.

I think my inability to type properly made it easier to learn how to type H-Y-P-H-E-N-S.Net faster than the average user who types correctly. ;P Muahahahahaha.

Protagonite Bond
Oh yeah. On a brighter note, it has been 12 hours since the launching of the site, and I'm really happy to see that people are enjoying the Protagonist Chativersary site. :) I really did enjoy myself while I was toiling away alongside Lele making and completing it (hopefully she enjoyed that as well? Hehe).

I love the "impressions" part of the site, and the "snippetlog" provides an interesting look towards what has taken place in the chatroom for the past year. The hilarity of daily happenings, the seriousness of the debates that had taken place... we're a bunch of nutty, intellectual people in one community. Much thanks to Lauryn for starting it, and much thanks to everyone for being an active contributor to the community.

It's hard to believe that just a small thing like stumbling across Lauryn's journal, and then joining her boards and later on her chat can bring such an effect to me. I met so many interesting people who I now form a close friendship with. Talk about a "protagonite bond". ;)

I love you guys. *huggles*

Planes, Planes, Planes
I'm not paranoid or anything (and really, there is nothing to be paranoid about and I do not get all the fuss), but really, why on earth are there so many planes flying over my town (my house?) today? In the past 17 years, I can say that a plane flying overhead is an occasion of wonder... like maybe once in a blue moon (would that be once in seven years?). I used to get excited and run out and start pointing when I was a kid. Hah.

But today... there had been at least five so far that I'm conscious of. Sheesh. Are they lost or something, because no planes really need to fly overhead here to get anywhere? They make so much noise too. They disturb my peace!

While I Was Not Here
So... to make up for the lack of blogging lately (I had been online, yes, but busy... heh, you'll soon know what I've been busy with for so long), I am going to plug more sites that I've missed the past few days.

Katherine has a new weblog, Perkation, and she's the new hostee at Luverly.Org. *nods* You know what to do... *chuckles* yes, visit her, dammit! ;)

And Jun has moved again, this time to Geocities.Com (because Port5.Com was evil...?). Though her new site is graphic-intensive (as claimed) with a different layout for every section, I find it really worth waiting for!

Of course, I can't forget my wonderful hostess and friend, Ling! She has a new layout at her weblog, featuring one of her artworks (and she can draw really well too). :) Yay for Ling!

And while we're at it, Aspens came up with a mini-revamp at his domain, using the same image and colors, but set differently. And *gasp* he has a hostee now! Teehee.

Oi. Well, that's all for now (and I don't really visit that many site to find more to plug here, so be satisfied with what I find interesting enough to visit daily, okay?). *tired*

Oh, The Protagonist Boards (or The Protagonist Community Message Boards... whichever works, I guess) has a brand new wintery layout! It's really beautiful and clean and pure-looking, and also has a magical feeling to it.

I Have Ideas That Are Impossible
Are online and offline relationships the same? Or are they different? I wonder.

With that, I suppose I'm talking about relationships that has to do with romantic love. Right now I have a friend who has an offline boyfriend and an online boyfriend, and I'm the only one who is let on in this "secret" (today, but it has been going on for some time). Of course, it's a "tell and I'll kill you" type of secret... she doesn't want either her online boyfriend or her offline boyfriend to know about the other!

But is that considered cheating? To her, it's different. Online is online and offline is offline. She's saying that I shouldn't worry because she's not going to ditch any one of both (which means... she's seriously involved in both and this is not the one-boyfriend-a-week game?). But to me, that's still... divided love/affection, isn't it? Can you actually do that with a clear-conscience? I mean... real human emotions is involved, even if the other person is on the other side of the world.

I know I sound like a kid again. :\ Where one is innocent and right and wrong is as clear as black and white with no shades of grey. I know the world is not black and white... but, augh, I think in the oddest ways sometimes. Which would explains why I feel like a kid most of the times because I feel that my personal views are unacceptable in the "real world", the adult world where there is this pattern of thinking that is different from a child's. I haven't changed, have I? I don't know whether to be glad or be disappointed with that. Immaturity (or childishness) comes bundled along with innocence. I'll probably won't survive for a day in the real world.

Gah, why on earth does she has to tell me? Now every time I see her offline boyfriend in school, I won't be able to look at him straight in the eyes without feeling guilty. When I knew of her past boyfriends or "affairs", it didn't exactly bother me that much because I never knew her boyfriends as friends.

Wait. I think I should just leave this alone and let them figure it out on their own. My friend (girl) can suffer the guilt of having two boyfriends if she wants. I shouldn't care (even though I don't want my friends to get hurt... well, I can't exactly wrap them up in cotton wool, can I?).

I honestly thought that when one acquires a steady (online or offline, whatever floats your boat), they'd at least be loyal (unless they agreed to have the freedom of doing whatever they like). Or at least... well, be honest with them or something. End one relationship before jumping into another.

Human relationships are fucking weird.

It's A Browsery-Browser World
Downloaded and installed Opera and K-Meleon. So now I have about 4 types of browsers in my computer (minus Netscape 6, I'm too lazy to redownload it).

I wonder why I need so many of them.

Opera is okay. I like the cute "mouse gestures" (I can easily get used to this!) and the tabbed browsing. But it has evil ads! *growls* And it doesn't seem to like CSS. Why is that?

On the other hand, K-Meleon is good! It looks a lot like how my IE is now so using it is really easy. It's also really fast and "lite", as claimed. :) Yummy.

Now why would I bother sticking to using IE? Muahahahahaha.

The Uncompatibility Issue
Ugh. I'm getting increasingly irritated attempting to make layouts work on Netscape 4.75. It shows up and works so far except for a very annoying background. *frowns* I even minimized the usage of CSS. Gah.

Netscape doesn't seem to like multiple usage of tables very much. But I like using tables in tables in tables in tables in tables!

Rawr. This does not do me good (and I'm supposed to be an ex-Netscape-nut, so I should be pretty familiar with what is acceptable and what is not in Netscape!). I want to make the layouts compatible for most browsers!

I think I need to recode the whole thing from scratch.

*sheepish grin*

I've either been spending more time offline than online, or I just haven't had had the drive to blog lately. Thus the lack of posts.

But no, I haven't completely forgotten about the weblog! In fact, I've been remembering it far too much. So much that while I was tinkering with the Protagonist Chativersary layout, I came up with a new layout for the weblog. Took me two whole hours to finish it. Heh.

It's pretty plain and simple and looks almost kiddish in a way, but I like it. :) I don't know when I'll be putting it up, but most likely after SPM. But I do know in about two weeks from now I'd be moaning about being sick of this new layout but... :P

Teehee. Now I need some last touches... preferably something "toothpaste". *snickers*

One Day I'll Fly Away?
Oh. Yeah. Since I can't buy any CDs or non-school-related books until SPM is over (*sigh* what a long wait until the 28th!) and maybe not even after that, I'm going on a MP3-downloading frenzy. I'm attempting to download the entire soundtrack of Moulin Rouge at the moment. Hehe. There are a few songs missing though. >:O!

Other than that, Morning View of Incubus is on the list as well. And... some of Nickelback, some of Staind, some of Green Day, some of Garbage...

Ah, well, forget it. I'm not going to list everything. The only problem is that I am not really supposed to be online either, considering my situation now. I should be studying hard, and attempt to pass all of my subjects. :\

Species & Genus
*chuckles* Conversations can turn out so amusing sometimes.

Goddessus tiffius has bestowed upon me a genus and a species that has yet to exist in your Biology books... I am a Goddessus peithius. Though I wonder which has a better ring, that or Goddessus kerfufflus. Probably the former, since the latter seems to have a "flu" at the back. Hehe!

No... this isn't an overstudying of Biology. ;) The conversation just took a cute little turn and since I claimed not to be a normal Earth organism, we ended up creating the species Goddessus (what is the Latin word for "goddess", really?).

;D

07:28 PM | 7 Squirts!

And Why Is That?
Humans are funny creatures. A lot of them never actually say what they mean. Things are said more out of common courtesy than anything else, which makes life rather complicated to understand and to go through.

"We'll be friends forever!" And they are not friends forever. They are probably not even friends after 5 years.

"I hope you don't hate me or be angry with me. Can we still be friends after the breakup?" And the scenario that happens afterwards is each of them, or one of them at least, avoiding the other.

"Yeah, I forgive you. We all need to forget and forgive anyway." And inside, they are still seething with anger and the desire to get vengeance and to hurt people back.

I wonder who I can trust sometimes, just like I wonder if I am one of them who doesn't say what I really mean. I confuse myself.

I'm off to bed. Coke-feine did not work well at all because fifteen minutes after I finish off the last of my Coke, i felt sleepy again.

Well, actually, the moment I get offline I'm going to fling myself into the shower, study for a couple of hours, then sleep. Wake up at 11'ish or noon, and then go to school to sit for Moral Studies paper at 2PM and come back at 4:30PM.

The Non-Fun Is Over
Weblog. Journal. I keep both, plus a not-frequently-updated personal site and an art portfolio thingy. I think I'm crazy. Sometimes I wonder where on earth I get all these things to talk about, since I don't repeat things said here in my journal or vice versa.

I've always been careful to differentiate my attitude towards blogging and my attitude towards journalling. For me, weblogs are strictly for fun, and I rarely actually blog anything deep. I post about my little quirks, about my pet peeves, about the test I did the other day... things that doesn't really matter. Superficial stuff that no one will remember a week from now. Things that people read and laugh, or smile at my idiocy if they like to.

No one wants to get all depressed and crap while reading a weblog. No one wants to start thinking about what life really is all about when they are reading a weblog. No one wants to listen to a melodramatic tone on something that is supposed to be "fun". Especially when the weblog has a silly name like Toothpaste Addict with an owner known as "the blogging monster".

That's why I think I should shut up about my exams here and dump it all into my journal when I have time. So... yeah. Nothing more about my depressing exams here. Zilch, zero, nada. I'll make it through. I always had in the past anyway. Bottling up everything is a specialty of mine.

But thanks for being there for me when I needed you.

My Qualification As A Blogging Monster

Are You A Blogaholic? Results

Your Score: 80.0%
Average Score: 52.3%

80 points is in the 51 through 80 precent

You are a dedicated weblogger. You post frequently because you enjoy weblogging a lot, yet you still manage to have a social life. You're the best kind of weblogger. Way to go!

I've always thought I was seriously a crazy, insane, blogaholic. And I am crazier than 278 people who took the test. But surprise surprise, there are at least 4 people out there who are exactly as insane as I am, and *drumroll* 34 people out of the 316 people who are even nuttier.

Is that impossible? Apparently not.

Edit: Oh. My. God. Hehe, I just realized that I, being at the 80%, is only the brink of going on to the next level (extra crazy weblogger?) if I have gotten 1% more.

I See Your True Colors
Gee. Now why on earth does this sounds so familiar?

Presently, you are trying to break away from a situation that is causing you considerable worry and concern. Things are getting on top of you and you are feeling depressed almost to breaking point. Obviously there must be a way out - but at this time the solution seems to be escaping you. You want to "get away from it all" and as a consequence you appear to be sullen, introverted and refuse to get involved in any discussion or arguments which could aggravate the situation. Accept the fact that "as you feel - so your body will respond"... and so therefore "pretend" to the world about you that everything is going beautifully and if you act as if "all is going well" everything will, whether you believe it or not, will work out as you would like it to.

Which ever way you turn - you feel that you are being utterly thwarted. There is considerable conflict in the air... but you will stick to your beliefs and not be deterred in endeavouring to attain your objectives.

It's the old old story... I am misunderstood... my partner, (be it in your private life or in business) just doesn't understand me and YOU also believe at this time that you are being completely MISUNDERSTOOD by one and all. It then obviously follows that you naturally feel inhibited and not appreciated... It is perhaps because of this belief that you feel compelled to stand back and let the rest of the world go by... As for developing a firm relationship... Inwardly, deep down in your subconscious mind you are wary of even trying to get close to another person because you feel that, if you open up your heart and feelings... you are sure to get hurt. But since you are living in a society where close relationships are the norm... you feel that there is that need to conform... but any close relationships of any magnitude that you may have tried in the past have unfortunately left you without any sense of emotional involvement.

Whatever has caused the situation... you just don't seem to be able to sustain or maintain relationships as you would wish to. What you really seek is to be able to develop a relationship with someone with whom you can truly share: Love, Serenity, Peace and Quiet. But you are a very demanding person and it is your nature that leads to disquiet and discord... you are like the tide... flotsam and jetsam... One minute you experience "highs" and a few moments later "lows". This obviously will introduce discord into any relationship and it is the demanding attitude, the ideal state you desire, is unable to develop. Despite the urge to gratify your natural desires, you impose a considerable self-restraint on your instincts in the belief that this demonstrates your superiority and raises you above the common herd. You are extremely critical of everything that is presently going on around you... and you find it difficult to listen to, or to take advice from anyone. You enjoy the original, the ingenious and the subtle, and you strive to ally yourself with others of similar tastes.

It is strange that the anxiety that you are experiencing at this time is of your own makings simply because of your desire to be respected by your fellow man and with those whom you work with. You are not satisfied. The normal congenial "you" is becoming quite introverted. This is becoming increasingly more obvious because you seem to shy away from participating in everyday activities... You are refusing to allow yourself to become involved, or to participate with others and it is the reluctance to communicate that is the inherent cause of your problems.

How... me. And I was hardly paying much attention to thinking when I was taking the test. Curious.

Aftermath
Sorry for not making much sense earlier. My mind wasn't in a rational state.

Right now I have a burning, sick sensation in my stomach which makes me wonder if it's only a aftermath from the panicking or that something is really wrong with me (I think it's the former, but that doesn't mean that I still don't consider the latter). My hands are still shaking and my fingers are icy, so I don't really know how on earth am I going to be able to write anything when I get into the examination room.

Fuck, I need to calm down now! Jeez, I hope the darn questions are easy... or at least fitting enough to be in my small scope of knowledge.

I think I'm starting to panic really bad (exactly what my brother told me not to do). My hands are shaking as I'm typing this, which is bad. What's worse is that I have to make myself breathe, to command myself to or else I'd be holding in my breath.

No Use Crying Over Spilt Milk?
Shit. Oh shit. I am in big, big trouble.

I'm reviewing some notes and points at the moment, and I just realized that I cannot think anymore. My brain is either fried or has rotted really bad. I cannot think! Ugh. The points no longer make sense more than where it ends, the elaboration no longer flows, the words no longer appear in my head. Other than a problem with elaboration, my vocabulary is rusty like hell.

I think I'm much more scared of Malay than I am of History now. I am so going to screw up my essay. I will probably be stuck in the middle of writing something, and won't finish up in time. Shit. I'm panicking over my essay more than my summary, which used to be my weakest point in Malay. More than I'm panicking over Malay Literature.

Ugh ugh ugh. I need to smack myself really bad now. While the punishment doesn't reverse anything, while it won't let me have more time to brush up on my skills, at least I'll probably feel better because I am punished for my stupidity.

Yep. I'm stupid. Pei is stupid. No other adjective fits now. I'm not even sure I can pass, let alone get a freaking A.

The multiple blogs thingy does come in handy after all (especially when you can do it cross-subdomain too because it uses the root instead of FTP). :D And even though that thing resides on my folder and I am the original admin, I can't access to (or even view in the control panel) blogs that other users create, so it's like ultimate privacy from other users sharing the same script.

Cool eh? Everyone can be an admin of their own there. *chuckles*

Brother With A Great Lung
My inconsiderate brother is laughing his guts out in front of the TV (and the volume is turned up to ultra-loud despite the late hour), like, "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" while I'm trying to cram History facts into my head (I've given up on Malaysian History and focusing on World History instead). And my room is just next to the living room, where the TV is. Well, actually, the wall is the only thing that separates the TV and my room because the TV is practically attached to the wall.

*sob with frustration* Why me? Why me?!

Not only he is laughing extra loudly, but he's speaking extra loudly too, like he's shouting or something. Maybe I should just sign him up for opera singing and he'll be out of my hair for a while.

Hold me, I'm scared!!!

And I'm in pain. This is just utterly superb.

SPM T-o-m-o-r-r-o-w!
Good luck to all SPM-ers out there. *hugs everyone* I think we all need that. My studying has not gone well (and I think I'm not alone in this aspect either). History facts just refuses to stick to my brain. And SPM starts in less than 15 hours.

*goes off to start spazzing out*

Remember Domainia
Oh. My. Goodness.

How long as it been since I last talked to Mimi? Probably since she stopped having a website. And when I moved my sites, we totally lost touch with each other (even though I still have her home address, hehe). =\ So imagine my surprise to find a new entry in my guestbook from her.

I should thank Google for this. Heh. All along I've hated it for making me so easily searchable because I'm paranoid of my offline friends stumbling into my site, but now I guess it does have its uses?

*hugs Mimi* I demand for you to get online now! ;P

More Blogging Devices?!
I just installed MovableType (I didn't install B2 due to obvious reasons). And I like it! :) Yummy. I also like the fact that I can have multiple weblogs with it... but why on earth would I want so many weblogs when I can't even keep up with my one weblog? Sheesh.

Well... it's great for group weblog, at least. *smiles sweetly* But no, I'm not interested in starting one. I'm crap in group weblogs.

Well, I might just delete all of Toothpaste Addict megahuge archives (I don't really want to know how much space it took up... really, I don't) and start over from scratch when I reach 500 posts here. Heh.

How Amusing. Not.
Rawr. I may need some of these. But men might need some of these.

*snickers*

Okay, back to being in a grouchy mood. Rawr.

Red Means Danger
Oh well. Since SPM is coming in a couple of days time...

Yep! I placed my exam schedule on my desktop again. It's so much more convinient than flipping through the whole 16-page booklet for the whole month when I only need the schedule for 11 (scattered) days. My calendar doesn't look as packed as I thought it would be. Maybe I can survive 10 subjects after all...

It feels weird to have the taskbar on top instead of at the bottom. But oh well, this shall be it for the month of November. Red hot?

It meant danger, that's all. And danger SPM is.

When Facts And Imagination Mix
I was washing a dish a moment ago, and while watching the soap foaming all over the dish, I could almost imagine the hydrophobic and hydrophilic ends of the soap molecules (?) dragging the oil and grease off the plate. And when I rinsed the plate, instead of seeing the steady flow of clear water, I imagined little little H2O molecules falling off the plate onto the sink like little marbles.

O_o

Too much of studying Chemistry for me (but actually, I haven't even started revising Chemistry for SPM yet)! I am wondering how on earth scientists don't go crazy from all this. I mean... I probably sound really insane on the above paragraph. Hehe. But what I mean is... you don't look at the world the same anymore!

Ah bah. Anyway, water is supposed to look all glittery, flowing, smooth, and beautiful. In fact, water is one of the things I love to paint best, even though it's pretty hard to get all the colors and reflections and shadows right. How on earth does one become both an artist and a scientist at the same time? An artist relies on one's imaginations and a scientist relies on the hard cold facts. Can those things actually go together when they contradict one another half the time?

*growls* School has better not drive me nuts yet. I'm about to be free of secondary school! Life cannot be so cruel to do this to me!

Attempt At Being Poetic
The haiku thread at the Protagonist Boards is quite amusing, as we all write about the silly, everyday rants in a haiku form. Hehe! Methinks half the time (or all of the time?!) we just threw a bunch of words together to form three lines with a 5-7-5 rhythm.

I have no poetic streak in me at all. *grins*

Ooh!!! Look what Tiffany made me!

*bounces around happily* Thanks loads for the good luck wish, Tiffie! I really appreciate it. :D

Really Cold
Right now I'm feeling really cold. :( Blah. Well, I like it when it's cold, but not when it's bitingly so... the first to get frozen are my feet. *growls*

Well, the only reason I can think why I'm feeling "cold" right now is because it's 4AM-ish and I just got out of the shower not so long ago (yes, it's some kind of weird psychopathic move of mine to take a shower in the middle of the night).

Suspected And Confirmed
Arrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!

[insert a bunch of nonsensical words here]

VasNet is my brother's current ISP, and his laptop is infected with the SirCam virus, and he doesn't friggin' know it until I sent him an offline message earlier through ICQ!

Me: Dude, can you remove my Outlook Express settings for me from your laptop? Open up Outlook Express, click on Tools » Accounts... click on the Mail tab, and remove all of the Accounts there. And run a scan on your laptop with Norton AV (make sure your virus definition is updated). My email is spamming a few people with Sircam virus, and the IP tracks back to India (VasNet, actually). I don't know if it's yours.
Him: yup, vas net is mine here. is it? ok... i'll delete it.
Him: Virus name: W32.Sircam.Worm@mm ... found it...
Him: ok done. deleted all the pop..names in whatever you told me to do.

Okay, so one mystery solved there... *sigh*

Post-Napping Syndrome?
Bah. Well, I'm sleepy. Guess last night's one hour worth of sleep did not sit well with me, since I snapped off the lights one hour before I was supposed to wake up and thought too much before drifting off to sleep. For all I know, I might have only caught about 15 minutes of real sleep.

I think I'm going to go and take a nap (after I finish editing the block of writing I'm working on at the moment). ;P I can care less about the headaches I get from the post-napping "hangover"... the whole bottle of Panadol is right beside my computer, at easy reach of the most headache-prone person in the household.

Me.

I think I've lightened up a lot on this medication issue. I'm beginning to take them more willingly now. I realized that it's smarter to do so than to suffer the pain and not get anything done.

I still don't like the fact that I'm depending on drugs to keep the pain at bay though. *sigh* I do not like medicine.

The Return Of Sircam
Mr. Sircam Virus (with the weird fetishes) made its return yesterday, after over a month of silence when I changed my password. It still attempts to infect Lauryn and Samantha. The infected emails are still entitled "Yue" for whatever reasons I cannot comprehend.

The headers are faked. It's not from my computer at all, or my email software, or whatever (which would actually explain why none of my AV programs pick it up... it's not here!). It's not even from Malaysia (or any countries that shares my timezone). All the IPs I collected from the headers from then and now leads to VasNet in New Delhi, India.

Gah. I'm pissed off. Why am I being made a scapegoat and why is my email being exploited to transmit viruses?

Edit: I just remembered. Currently there are two laptops in India that has once upon a time been in my possession, and therefore should hold the settings to all of my email accounts that I have been using before mid-September. The two laptops that my brothers are using. And after a long time of not getting online because their phone line was terminated, they just recently, yesterday, got online.

I hope they are not the cause of this.

Mrrreow!
Hahahahahahaha... ohmigosh, Daynah sent me a really cute, really ridiculous eCard! The ending of the flash was totally unexpected... and left me laughing for quite some time!

Someone remind me to never walk behind anyone ever again. Hehe!

The 13-Minute Test
Jeez. Is this thing bullshitting or what? I forgot when I took it (it must be really, really long ago because I don't even remember taking it... could've been a couple of years back), but today the email came saying that all results are back online. It was sent to my SoftHome, so it has to be pretty old. I clicked to see what was my results back then...

And this is supposed to be my results. What the...?

147?!

Methinks they are just trying to sell their Complete Personal Intelligence Profile thingy. Either that, or I was really smart before I completely killed off all of my brain cells.

Either way, I'm stupid now. And SPM is in 4 days! *faints*

The World Is Made Of Little Dots
Grr... why is the darn IE settings fucked up again? >:O The font keeps on going back to "Smallest"! I do not relish the idea of squinting at barely visible text (that looks a heck lot like tiny little micro-dots too!) on the glaring screen.

*sets it back to "Medium"*
