computer fixed

Whoo! Thanks to my friend, my sis' computer is fixed! I can't thank him enough for fixing it. He keeps saying its nothing, but to me, it means the world to me!! Maybe not the world, but you get the idea... I'm so happy! Overly excited! I just can't express the happiness I have right now! Absolutely stoked! And the fact that he didn't take long to do it. Gave him the computer the previous night, and it was all done the next day. What a mate!

So why am I so happy? Because I won't get grilled down by my sis when she comes back (cos it was my fault to begin with and it's her computer) and its the fact that I can watch TVB on our plasma tv with surround sound. omg, thinking about it just makes me even more happy. But I guess its also a bad thing that the computer is fixed. My time will be taken up watching tvb in every spare moment I have.

Man, my sleeping patterns are so whacked. Its 5am. Work in 1.5 hrs. Then I don't think I'm gonna get home till 7pm today.

holiday shopping

i hate holidays. I always end up buying useless shit online. Guess what I bought in the last 2 days... I bought a new pair of earphones and I bought a laser mouse. What a total waste of money! Don't you agree? But when I try to resist myself from buying such crap, I tend to buying it anyway.

Been on catchoftheday for the past 6 hrs or so. No luck. Was trying to buy the wii and the ipod touch. *sigh* Its impossible to get in. I reckon its rigged~

durians galore!

Yesterday and today at work we started getting durians on our load to sell at Coles. So of course, any kind of new fruit we get we do a special "taste test." So then we are able to tell the customer what the fruit tastes like if they ever asks us. But it wasn't so much of a taste test for me since I have durians all the time when they are in season. But my workmates were like "what is that?", "WTFF??", "omg that looks awesome!", "ewww..." and ect.

I love durians! Its so yummy! But I couldnt say the same for my workmates. They hated the smell of it when I cut it open. They say it smells disgusting and say it smells as bad as garlic. Well, I say the smell of it is indescribable. My workmates all had a little bit of durian. Like only a little bit. They hated it. So? I finished the whole thing off myself. I didn't want the durian to go to waste so I ate the whole bloody thing! Whoo... it was so delicious. I can eat another one now!

你行不行?

"我说你行，你就行。
我说你不行，你就不行。
你说你行，我说你不行，
你也是不行。
你说你不行，我说你行，
你还是行!"

"I say you're okay, then you're okay.
I say you're not okay, then you're not okay.
You say you're okay, I say you're not okay.
You're still not okay.
You say you're not okay, I say you're okay, you still are okay."

Do you know where that quote is from?

weird sleeping patterrrns

opps... WHY? my parents didn't wake me up for dinner!! WHY? LOL. I planned to have a short nap at 6pm and wake up at 6:30pm, expecting my folks to wake me up for dinner. Guess wat? They skipped dinner and they didnt wake me up. And what's happened? I've slept from 6pm-12am. Now I'm fully awake and I dunno what I should be doing. I'm a bit tired to do hw, and I'm a bit hungry. But the thing is, there's nothing to eat downstairs because my parents skipped dinner cos we had a really late lunch today. I guess I'll start on the hw and prepare for my prac 2morow... I mean later today. The one in 9 hrs~ I'll prob go bak to sleep really soon though or else my sleeping patterns will be even more fucked~

keeping it short

I have an assignment due at 4pm today. I just managed to get 1/3 done so far. So this blog entry is gonna be kept rather short. Man, I hate Linear Optimization. Well, it's quite interesting. But when you haven't paid any attention in class, doing the assignment for it is rather difficult. Because there are little tricks and shit that you gotta apply or else the tableau won't turn out right. And its very tedious! The lecture notes ain't clear and they don't fill in all the steps so when you read it, sometimes I'll go "wtf??". Anyway, I better get a move on because I need to go to uni "just" to hand this bloody assignment in so I can get some marks for it. Have no classes today as well~ grrr!

I'll leave this blog with one of my piano exam pieces. I've changed a few pieces from my List A (technical ) and this one seems to be my favorite! I wonder if I can actually be able to play it so precise, accurately and sounding as good as the guy did in this video?? LOL, getting practice for it is another thing too...

the Coincidental Catastrophic 4 C's

the 4 C's - Chinese, Chemistry, Connex and Coles, which made my life so horrible within 48hrs on the 4 & 5th of September. It's gotta be the worst day for the past 2 months or so. I am warning you... this blog entry is gonna be long one. So if you don't have the patience, cbb to read it, STOP NOW. But if ya wanna... nothing's stopping you.

It all happened in the early hours of Friday (4th Sept). I woke up specially early to study for my Chinese mid-semester test. I slept at 12am ish, and hoping to wake up early in the morning to study for it because I was so tired from doing jack-sh*t during that day. I woke up at 4am. When I woke up at 4am, I thought to myself, 'hrm, a bit early hey? I don't need to leave the house until 7:20am. Let's sleep for another hour and study then.' Well, I did end up waking up at 5am ish to start studying. But it wasn't enough time to cram all those Chinese words from chapters 10-14 in roughly 2 hours. I got up to Chapter 13 and time was up. I had to leave the house to get to uni. I continued cramming on the train trying to cram those damn words. I had to do it, it was worth 10% of my subject mark.

Oh my, the test was so bloody hard. Most of the words I crammed in the morning when through one ear and out the other. I was trying to translate sentences in English to Chinese. I was having so much trouble cos I was tired from waking up so early. My brain was just out of the zone. It wasn't in Chinese mode at all. I started to speak in canto in my head to help me translate those bloody sentences. It helped a bit :). And for the stupid multiple choice section, I had a crack at it. But I eventually gave in and peeked at my mate's answers when the teacher went out of the class for a second or two. lol~ Well, I think I passed. I guess the main thing was that I tried...

Chemistry. My science elective. I met up with my friend after uni, planning to do the Chemistry Mid-Semester Test together. It was a multiple choice test done online. The lecturer said that the test will be put up at 6pm. I planned to do it my friend because I figured that 2 brains would be better than 1 you know? And also, I haven't really studied that much for Chemistry so if I got any help it would of been beneficial. We meet up at 3pm after our Chem lecture. We bummed around on the uni computers, you-tubing, playing mini games and doing other useless crap while we waited for the test to be put up. When the clock striked 6:00pm, guess what? The test was not online. So we decided to wait because we didnt want to leave to do the test till next week since we have other stuff to do. And I guess we just wanted to get it out of the way. We waited for another hour, there was still no test! 8pm, 8:30pm, 9:00pm~there was STILL NO TEST! It was getting to late, so we cursed the Chemistry department and we packed up and headed down to Melbourne Central to catch the train home.

We thought we were going to miss the train that we were intending to catch, But when we got to MC train station, we were like 'phew... we still have 5 minutes to spare before the Werribee train arrives. LUCKY!' Seeing it's Connex, and the fact I was having a disastrous day, what do you think happen?

It was not a delayed train, nor a canceled train. I could of dealt with either situations. It was neither. It was.. "Attention Passengers. The Werribee, Sydeham, Cragieburn and Upfield trains on platform 3 will not run until further notice. This is due to an incident at Parliament Station. Please make your way to Flinder's Street Station for direct service at North Melbourne via Swaston's Street." I was like... great~ so much for trying to get home a bit earlier so I can sleep and wake up on time for work the next morning. So my mate and I traveled down to Flinder's Street, waited for a while and finally got on a train back home! Got home fairly late. Around 10:30pm. It was a long drastic day. Woke up at 5am, and didn't really sleep until 1am-ish. (my fault. was msn-ing when I got home) I checked whether the Chem test was online when I got home, and it WAS! Bloody hell.

I was supposed to get up at 6:30am for a 7am start at work. But I was so tired after being awake for more than 20 hrs straight, I slept in... lol. I was late to work! But luckily the managers weren't in that early and the guy I work with in the morning is pretty easy going. So I didn't get into trouble. Well, I hardly get into trouble at Coles anyway. But it was so much work in the morning today. Instead of my usual schedule of spending 1 hr on Value Added, 2 hrs on Quality Checks and 1 hr of facing and then lunch, I had too fill for 4 hrs. grr! I was so tired by the time lunch came about. I was to tired for the arvo shift, I started pointing and telling the little ones what to do, because I didn't want to do it myself.

What a Coincidental Catastrophic 48 hours huh? I hope I never have to go through something like that ever again.

msn chats

For the past few days, I had some great chats on msn. Just typing away till late at night. I used to be really into msn, but this year it just died down a bit. But I really saw why I was really into it. It brings back a hell lot of memories.

Its one of those chats where the person on the other end responds straight away, and not like after a few minutes. And all the attention focuses on that one person. I notice if you chat to a few people at the same time, you'll never get anything out of the conversation you know? And also long msn chats doesn't happen that frequently.

But I think I gotta cut down a bit on msn now, cos its pretty time consuming you know? But I'll try to get back into it when I have more free time.
