June 7!

Update:
I need a better sound recorder. My laptop’s recorder keeps farting! I finally found my mp3 player which has the record function but the battery leaked inside it and it’s now spoilt =(. I even tried taking a video with my camera but the audio sucked. Not much static yes, but the piano sounds dulled somehow instead of tinkling. Erm. I don’t know how to describe it, it’s just, not nice.

So anyway, I’ve uploaded the first try on Imeem and there are 3 mistakes. Mistake 1 and 2 are the same, just at a different octave. The 3rd mistake is a couple of wrong notes. Beware of farting noises! I’ll try recording again some time.

Wheeeeee. Can’t wait for June 7 for the reunion barbeque =D I was talking to Shu Ying about who will turn up and I started listing the seating arrangement =X I actually missed out Van and Jie Sin’s entire column! >.< Apparently Hong Kai sat alone eh? And thanks, Sid, for helping me arrange the people on the left side of the classroom!

Hmm. Actually, I thought of a very violent post but I’m not sure if I should publish it. Hahah.

Ok I will!

I was watching a Ben 10 movie-episode one day and the main character (the good guy) turned into this huge gigantic alien and he grabbed hold of the villian (another alien) and proceeded to get rid of him once and for all.

He’s this enormous powerful alien with his hand as big as the villian himself, and what does he do? He cocks his arm back, and throws the villian far far away.

HOW IS THAT “GETTING RID”??

That’s why I’d rather be evil because good guys never have the heart to finish the job and do it properly. If it were up to me I would have crushed him until his bone marrow starts oozing out and then twist his body like I’m wringing a sodden rag. Then I’ll yank his head (he has an octopus head so I’ll probably tear his tentacles off one by one too) and arms and legs out like a barbie doll and maybe grow some ultra sharp talons and rip his body into pieces. Then I’ll grind them all up like ginger and has anyone ever ground ginger? I love grinding and pounding ginger until the yellow juice squirts out and there’s nothing left of the ginger except a soggy yellow mush.

Nobody liquidises ginger better than me in this house.

How’s that for mentally unstable.

Last night

Or rather, early this morning (think “2am” early), I was lying in bed with my eyes wide open and staring at the ceiling. Ok, so it was more like staring at my book cases coz my head was on my teddy bear so my line of sight was at an angle. I have a row of book cases attached to the wall near the ceiling. It looks kind of weird if you try to visualise it so here’s a 2D aid (my bed is parallel to the shelves):

So like I was saying, I was lying on my bed in the dark at 2am in the morning with my head on my teddy bear and clutching my Eeyore and staring at the top corner of my book case.

And then I fell asleep. The end.

My enemy

Take the quiz. Hahah, I don’t think I would have expected Nursemaid if I had known the possible outcomes. The other descriptions are available for viewing after the quiz, and I think I can pass for Tight Ass sometimes =\ Except that I never color inside the lines (but not for lack of trying). I retook the quiz a second time and got Nursemaid again >.< Wow, look at that, I’m my own enemy. How apt.

I caught an episode of Black Hole High (at 1:30am while I was eating supper =X) and I think it’s quite interesting. I think I’d prefer watching teenage-based shows like this than adult-based =\

Violence doesn’t solve anything

<<On second thought, this line should be censored>>

“Oh, please don’t help my mama bomb an Osama Obama llama diorama.”^[1]

I like this game. Especially when I get all my headshots =D.

I heard Over You by Daughtry on MTV and I love the music. Turns out the lyrics are nice too.

Yay, 6000 blog hits poofs =D.

Face the day

Update at 9:58pm:
I finally got an external hard drive. 500GB! And an 8GB thumbdrive I’m not sure what for =S.

When the mornings break I cry out your name

Update at 10:56pm:
I’m finally switching to Maxthon! =D I’ve finished configuring and customizing it to my satisfaction and this is how it looks like now. I don’t want the stop button on my toolbar but somehow it just keeps popping back onto it. I was going to hide the menu bar altogether, but it doesn’t appear when I press ALT (like it does in IE) =(

I was going to say something here but I can’t remember what it is.

Oh, oh, oh. This comic strip almost made me tear =(.

Some songs from Made Of Honor. I like Stop Crying Your Heart Out the best, if only because of the chorus melody. And that was the soundtrack playing during the movie when I cried =X

GAH. VIRUS!

I need to go out again later today. *sigh*. Outdoors five days in a row. I’m already tired.

Another virus again. A dialogue box will randomly pop up together with an IE window telling me my computer’s infected and I need to install AntiSpywareMaster. I also noticed a WinAnonymous window during one of the popping ups. I know they’re malware and I’m sure I don’t have them installed but what’s making the popups appear? Grrr. Stupid hijackers.

We went to The Cathay today to watch a movie. He suggested Made of Honor and I was like, “isn’t that a chick flick?” but we ended up watching that and I like it. I shed four tears this time, yes, only four. It was a happily-ever-after! Awh. I wish I’d have a happily-ever-after too. T.T A couple of songs on the soundtrack are nice. I’m going to see if the OST exists (after I get rid of the stupid pop ups). I tried the Grilled Fish with Rice and Black Pepper Sauce at LJS today. Not. Nice. That’s the crunchy shrimp at the top left corner and I love it <3. Next is the clam chowder which is nice too, considering the price =\. I didn’t touch the salad and cheese.

Argh. The virus is throwing me off my mood to blog. It’s 2:37am and I need to get up at 9:30am. IT’S STILL POPPING UP.

Update at 9:42pm:
I just screwed up my laptop again, even safe mode wouldn’t work properly, it just showed a black screen with a cursor in the middle. Virtumonde came back again with a yayaWnhH.dll in the System32 folder. Each time I “fix the problem” with Spybot, it comes back again. I try deleting the registry keys, they come back again. I try deleting the dll using Command Prompt, it says the file is in use. It was then I tried ending some of the processes and I accidentally clicked on wininit.exe; a blue screen about file dump came out and everything went black and the safe modes won’t work. Did a system restore to 19/05/2008 and things should be fine now.

Had piano lesson this morning, and I thought it wouldn’t go well since I didn’t practice at all this week, but I needn’t have worried at all. How many times have I turned up for lesson without having practiced and she thinks I did? >.< I’m practically doing my practice sessons during the lessons themselves. Returned the EEE PC too, and I’m still pretty miffed about not being able to install EAL.

I can’t wait to stay at home and rot for the entire Thursday tomorrow =D Finally!

I like this post by Xi Peng.

The story behind the hahah

In the past before V and me became an item, he had a crush on a girl whom I knew personally. One day, we were having a three-way conversation on MSN, but I didn’t have any lines in this scene:

She: hahha
He: hey, is your hahha copy and pasted or typed out? how come everytime spelt the same way de with the two h?
She: oh, yeah i type it out, hahha, i guess it’s a habit
He: ooh, so cool (I’m not sure if he said “cool” or “cute” or some other word, but it was a complimentary one)
She: hahha

It was from then on that my “haha” permanently evolved into “hahah”. I can have an extra h in my hahah too! Yeah, yeah, call me jealous. He never asked me about my “hahah” =S. It’s stuck like that now. When I like somebody, and I mean for real, not the silly crushes in primary/lower sec, I’ll involuntarily integrate bits and pieces of the guy into my life, or I’ll have a few changes due to him. For example, I became madly in love with gaming because of Hong Meng, and I started listening to alternative rock and similar music due to Wei Jie. These little things stay with me even after I get over the crush (which usually takes about a year).

So now you know my “hahah” isn’t just any ordinary “haha”. In fact, if you see me say “ha ha”, that’s a giveaway that I’m either tweaked or being sarcastic, and usually it’s both. When I type with formal spelling, like when I say “bye” or “good bye” instead of “cya”, it means I’m not happy. If I’m wording myself in strict formality with proper capitalisation and no contractions, then it’s:

Yesterday night while I was at Expo waiting for my mom, a middle-aged woman came up to me asking to borrow my phone. It’s times like this I’m glad I haven’t lost my inherent approachability =D I was all smiley and helpful. But, approach me for directions (and make me feel like crap for not knowing) and I’m all =S. Sometimes I wish I didn’t get cynical-ified. Too late. Extreme cheerfulness turns me off. So do chinese new year songs. Give me back my childlike wonder =(. I want to go “hey! That man just promised me candy if I do what he says. Isn’t that nice of him?” instead of “you moron! That paedophile’s going to rape you and he probably has AIDS.”

Random: I found the blog of a fellow physics lab student. I should mention I don’t particularly like her; I don’t know why. Today isn’t going to be fun. My body had to wake up before I was willing to. I’m going to reach home at 10:30pm and that’s so darn late.

I’ve finally attained enlightenment regarding the phrase “smells like shit”. I sat besides this middle-aged woman today and boy was I smelling a strong shit smell. To be fair, the shit may not have been coming from anyone, but explain why when I switched places with my mom I stopped smelling shit. Some people just look retarded. Those people with their lower lip perpetually hanging down. Oh god. I want to slap them around the head with a cucumber.

Here’s the half-done song (Beautifully Broken). I don’t like it, except the line “so many pieces you can’t mend, one piece of red, broken to bits”. I thought this up while waiting for dinner, and this was as far as I got before I got distracted by food. Here’s the letter I wrote to V when we broke up the first time. I’ve kept the line breaks.

Hmm. I think I’ve talked about pretty much everything I had been planning to touch on. Oh, I failed in installing East Asian Languages on the EEE PC. The file transfer works fine, but the files don’t seem to be stored. Free space should decrease by 0.22GB but it stays at 3.02GB. Argh. I never thought I’ll say this when it comes to computers, but I give up.

Edit: Oh gosh darn it. I just remembered something I planned to talk about that I haven’t talked about. I’m going to rename my WLM display name to: xiao.ling :: on crack. The old one is a little too long. This will be used only for logging in using Meebo, NDS, and my handphone. People who matter will understand what is meant when they see that as my nick (1. I can’t see your display picture, 2. I can’t receive any files). The traditional WLM on the computer won’t experience any crack.

Also, from now on if you see words with a blue underline, it means I’m using the <span title=”"> attribute, so hover your mouse cursor over the underlined words to see the additional text. Thank you.

Ten thousand paper cranes in a bottle

I must be crazy. I bought this. I also saw this at Kinokuniya. It would be nice to have it, but it costs $118, so forget it.

The photos I took during Friday’s dinner are below, and no, none of them have anything to do with food. The restaurant’s called Jumbo Seafood at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Update: My Johari and Nohari page has been updated with the Nohari traits added.

Reminder to self: Upload photos taken yesterday. Upload the half-done song. And leave a link to this.

I woke up at 5:40am today.

Just got home from Expo, and now trying to install East Asian Languages on the EEE PC and it is not working.
