Just finished visiting all the rooms in hall 7 doing door-to-door campaigning. jeez i suddenly get the feeling my room is under-furnished. i need a bedside lamp. and the layout is so unimaginative it’s almost embarrassing. hmmm
*think think think think*

have you ever thought about the people in your life and what you would do one day when they aren’t around anymore to answer your phonecalls? if you haven’t then i suggest you give it a shot. it will make you appreciate them that little bit more.

just chanced across 01 x blousey female garment in one of the male shower stalls. this is most disquieting.

just got back from programming tutorial class. tutor was this china babe from hell. she stood in the SAME SPOT for 50 mins and gave a speech about the ins and outs of good programming habits. she has this amazing monotonous voice, though thankfully, no heavy accent. it was like watching the national day rally live. thrice in a row. dubbed in hindi. felt like a survivor of the black plague. sat there watching heads drop one by one. had a gut feeling the epidemic had hit an all time high when someone in the back started snoring. she went on, blissfully oblivious to our pain. at the end of the class i accidentally jogged someone’s head with my elbow as i took my windbreaker off. he didn’t even flinch. must’ve been braindead.

called toshiba customer service early yesterday morning… was told that my laptop wouldn’t be ready for collection until the new hard disk came in, which would take a week or two. so i travelled all the way home after school to lug my desktop to hall as a temporary stand-in. and what happens? within 20 minutes of plugging the damn thing into the network, norton antivirus goes crazy, and freezes 2 times. on the third time, it took my system with it. upon reboot, my primary harddisk couldn’t be detected. i panicked. switched off the power and tried again.. this time it worked…. but this mysterious file called c:\windows\system32\config\system was missing, and windows stubbornly refused to boot. i was blessed that day to have my xp cd with me, and started working to right the wrongs. 4 hours later i ended up with ANOTHER installation of windows XP running side by side with my existing XP installation AND another copy of winME on another disk. oh happy happy day. so now i have THREE copies of windows floating around on my comp… chewing up my space… and i have to make a selection whenever i boot up.
fucking network.

bought myself another printer today. the canon s520. i’m a canon person… thus far i have one canon camera, one scanner and two printers. latest purchase cost me $330. 15ppm makes it the fastest inkjet printer in the market right now. not that i’m really ruching for time, but hey… it’s just nice to watch the paper whoosh out and stack nicely in the out tray.
the flyer distributors in sim lim irritate me. they kept shoving wads of paper in my face, utterly oblivious to the fact that i am displaying obvious disinterest. had to do the “talk to my hand” routine more than just a few times. did not really want to know the prices of stuff i wasn’t intending on buying.
saw 3 illegal cd vendors. one on each floor… directly above one another. one sold porn, one sold porn and software, and one sold only software. the one not selling any porn was making good business… prob cos no one really wants to browse through porn in public. went downstairs to draw some cash from the atm, came back up and all were gone, leaving the tables. i went into a shop, came out, and the tables were gone. pretty athletic people.
laptop still down, so am updating this from home. saw two SAJC ppl on the way home from sim lim just now, kneeling on the ground near the bus stop, frantically rooting around in a sports bag. seems the girl lost her wallet. was quite evident from the conversation. also spotted two old ladies chatting as they strolled down the sidewalk. one suddenly started miming a “throwing shuriken” action, and the other held up her fingers then both laughed. i really have no wish to know what that conversation was about.
going to do tuts now.
till later.

haven’t updated for quite awhile… got much to say.
laptop died on me last night. hard disk went down with a spectacular whirr… quite amusing. i’m only saying this cos it’s a new laptop and i haven’t got anything really of value in it yet. so i lugged it down to kallang sector just now. will be ready for collection by next monday.
finished 2 tuts last night. took some time cos brain was rusty from wearing green. managed it all save 1 question though… sense of accomplishment dulled by subsequent breakdown of said laptop.
went for clothes fitting just now. beachwear sponsored by impactshop… and formal attire sponsored by jazreel low collections. cheorographing done last night at shine modelling agency. laughed my guts out.
photoshoot tomorrow.

back from camp… just a few private notes about the itenary… lest i forget.
day one involved orientation games in the mph… met shiling, who would later turn out to be my SP for SP night. sang weird songs and played the 20 cent game.. haha. also engaged in mass dance, that blow the ping pong ball thing, stepping on balloons, etc. drew the flag till about 2.
day two. field games, night telematches, battleship, walked round and round the campus looking for the stations. tossed waterbombs using tshirts and played with fruits.
day 3. left for sentosa early in the morning. set up camp at laguna camp. played treasure hunt / scavanger hunt all day. walked like mad. mystery night was cancelled cos the ranger didn’t want us playing around the haunted house after midnight.
day 4. beach games. was searing hot. got buried in sand, dunked a few ppl in the water. built sandcastles, passed a hula hoop down a line in the sea, played dog and ping pong ball, line soccer and tug of war. later had field games. captain’s ball, frisbee, “tek ko” race and blind mice. got into a dispute with daymos over captain’s ball. girls did well. had SP night that evening. got shiling as my partner. got called onto stage to play some games… ended up best couple of the night. later the entire OG went to sunset bay for drinks. didn’t drink much. performed magic most of the time. got my first scream from benyi.
day 5. packed up early and left sentosa for campus. played the finale. doubled from point to point and crawled in the mud. sunburns hurt like hell. had a talk from the NKF ppl, and also CEC ppl. went home after.
got another camp tomorrow.
