Fifth week of school. As usual, nothing much was achieved. I guess I really have to get my mood set and settle down for this semester. I’ve like two tests tomorrow and a few more coming up. But I actually spent my weekend playing with Macromedia Flash. Grr. Something’s really wrong with me.

Mehh. It’s not only me. My computer is acting rather weird these days too. I guess it’s time for yet another reformatting of the PC. Just this morning when I wanted to make an entry, typed halfway, it restarts by itself. And I couldn’t get anything to work. I tried opening the folders, programs, etc. Nothing showed up. Now that I’m back home from school, everything’s alright again. Strange.

Anyway, I haven’t been commenting much this days. I’m getting lesser and lesser visitors. But since I’m really trying hard to settle down and revise my stuff, I can’t really be bothered much. This might go on for perhaps a month or two until I finally managed to catch up with my school work. Grr. I wish I could talk less about school.

Can you stand working with someone that you dislike when given a choice? I can’t. On hearing the fact that I’m actually going to work with that boot-licker guy. I backed out almost immediately. I still couldn’t get it as how the guys managed to. But there’s just no way I’ll work with people like him. It’s just seems so hypocritical and it’s just not me.

You may feel that it’s rather childish. But working with someone who always wants to take charge, be in the good books of teachers is just against my principle. You know, by getting in the good books of the teachers, it sort of guarantees you an AD (A Distinction) in the subject. He gets most of his that way. I never did. I just know that people like him wouldn’t go far. I kind of still couldn’t get it why my other two guy friends actually include him in our project group. They never like him. They often talk bad about him yet appear to be really friendly towards him. Perhaps they grew to like him, I don’t know. I never ever bothered to talk to that boot-licker guy even though we had been classmates for four years (in Secondary School), lectures mates for two years and now, classmates again. I have to say that he wasn’t like that in Secondary School. Oh well, people change.

If you’re still thinking that I’m forcing myself to stay in that group. You’re wrong. I joined another group. I kind of felt a little bad about leaving my two guys friends to that boot-licker guy. But I guess not having a chance to speak or air your thoughts would be horrible. After all Singapore’s a democratic society. I just hope that my two other guy friends wouldn’t suffer in his hands. lol. If they do, they just have themselves to blame. They accepted him in the project group. I never did. I kind of detest people who couldn’t keep their stand clear and firm, especially for guys.

The weekend is over already? I can’t believe that. I had done nothing productive over the weekends. I’m sure that this week would be yet another week of torture from school. Saying about school, my morning lessons are canceled for today. Yay! Apart from the fact that I don’t have to wake up early, the best thing is that I don’t have to take the morning train. Ahh, yes. It’s packed, very very packed in the morning.

Anyway, new layout. Not much of a difference as compared to my previous layouts except that the colours seems more cheery, no? I haven’t change much to the contents. I’m still working on them offline.

And in response to Theresa’s comment. I’m currently reading Amy Tan’s The Opposite of Fate. My Secondary School Teachers always commented how great her books are. But the lazy me had never ever touched any of her books. Hah. Oh before I forgot, thanks Mina and Theresa for passing on the Music Baton to me. But as what I’m mentioned earlier. I don’t have much music on my computer so I’m not doing it. Sorry and thanks for passing them on to me. That’s very nice of you girls.

Yes, a new hideout at last. You know, I never ever like reading. But recently, for no reason, I’ve been reading. And somehow, I’m starting to love it. Perhaps it’s the loads of stress that I’m under that makes me want to run away from school. And reading actually calms me down. But the greatest problem lies in that, if I don’t finish reading what I have on hand, I wouldn’t settle down to do my school work. Grr. And the worst part is that I’m a slow reader, and a very slow one. I still couldn’t figure out how some people can read a book within a day.

Ahh. And so the new hideout I’m talking about is a Community Library near my School. It’s 15 minutes walk from school. And since I always have a 2 hours break on Thursday. I’ve thus decided to frequent the library every Thursday. Sounds great isn’t it?

Anyway, back to site stuff. I guess it’s really time for a new layout. I’m thinking of a revamp. I don’t know. I don’t think I have the time for that. I think I really need to sit down and organise my site and remove some contents. Ahh, never mind. I think I’ll do it bit by bit and upload the stuff on F-S.net 1st Birthday, which is like 3 months from now? For the time being, I guess a new layout would be good. But I had a really hard time sourcing for pictures. How sad.

Yes, it annoys me way a lot when people come meddling in my affairs, my stuffs, everything. And no doubt, it disturbs my chain of thoughts. It happened last week, this week, and perhaps would go on for the rest of the weeks in the semester.

It’s like I’m doing my programming stuff and there’s bound to be some errors somewhere. And there’s this guy who would never fail to come forward and help me with it. He initiate the help, I did not. I know I should be thankful that someone is willing to help. But somehow I just don’t like the idea. I prefer to debug the codes by my own. And getting the fruit of labour after that. Yes, that sense of self satisfaction. You can’t get that when someone does your work for you. I’ve been working on my own for the past 2 years. And with someone helping me, it’s like a total sudden change. I’m just not used to it. Maybe I’m just far too independent. Maybe I just don’t wish to rely on others.

So, with him meddling around with my codes. There’s nothing much I could do other than to watch. Meh. Quit asking me to talk to him. You just know I wouldn’t. *sigh*

Ahh, I needed a break badly. I’m feeling rather stressful lately and I’m hoping that the feeling would go away. I guess that school’s making me worried and tensed up. Can you believe that I’ve learnt nothing from the past 2 weeks of school. Nothing seems to go in. I’ve no idea why.

My mum and sis are over at my cousin’s place, probably on their way back home now. And, I just have no time for any mental relaxation. I need to get things done. And apparently, nothing was done. I tried to revise my work. But I couldn’t understand half of it. I tried to finish up my assignment. But somehow, the program doesn’t work. You know, I used to love programming when I was in my first and second year. But no longer now. Maybe I should have taken up Multimedia in the first place. C# is just so horrible. And what’s worst, I don’t like my lab tutor. Mehh, what can be worst than that?

Grrr. Someone helps me! *cries* Anyway, we were supposed to think of some creative ideas that incorporate technology and I actually managed to come out with a few. I wonder if they’re already in the market. But here it goes:

1. Lights Out Timer: Yeah, you know how some people are afraid of the dark? Like they’ll never ever sleep without the lights on? What I though of is just some device, somewhat similar to the oven timer switch which can be fitted to the light switch or something. And you can actually set it, say 30 minutes. So, by the time the lights’ out you had most probably fallen asleep.

2. Voice-to-Text SMS: Ahh, additional feature of a cell phone. So, you can just like speak to it. And it will automatically translate what you’ve said to texts. Hah. It’s suitable for lazy people like me who hates to be on a conversation yet also lazy to key press the text messages.

3. Theatre Seat Sensor: Ever had troubles finding seats in a cinema? I know I don’t cause I don’t go into any in the first place. lol. Anyway, it’s like if no one is sitting on the seat, the sensor will be on, thus the LED bearing the seat number at the back of the seat will lights up. And once, someone sits on it, the LED lights will go off.

4. Silent Vacuum Cleaner: Apparently, the noise of the vacuum cleaner is killing me. I’ve never heard of a silent one. Or is it already in the market?

Mehh. I hope that none of those had been in the market else I would most probably die or something. More ideas are welcomed as well. I need to get my brain working. Anyway, in response to Gwen’s comment on the previous post, none of the pictures had me in them. lol. I was going round taking pictures and hiding away from the rest of the other cameras. lol.

Ah yes, I still haven’t gotten over with yesterday’s campfire. Aww, it’s such a nice feeling seeing that the girls are working together, playing together, having all the fun together. I miss those times when I was a Guide, those camping days. *cries* Yesterday was officially or should I say unofficially my last day of Guiding. Should they need my help, I’d still go back. But other than that, I guess it’s the end.

I didn’t ask my Guider about me coming back. I guess it was just clear enough. She actually asked me to light the touch to start the Campfire since it would be my last day over here. Isn’t that clear enough? Oh wells. What more can I say? I know it’s kind of nice of her to let me light the touch. But I really don’t feel like going, at least not now. I’m definitely missing the girls, even now. After all we had somehow bonded.

You just have no idea how happy I am when I’m with the girls. They actually bothered to ask how I’m doing, why is it that I don’t come back that often anymore, etc etc. Just some random questions that shows that they really care. Ahh, they’re just so sweet. I hope they’ll stay that way.

So, I spend the entire night snapping pictures. Maybe I should had work a little harder on my photography skills. The pictures don’t really look that great. But I had tried my best. Here are some random pictures:

And I actually edited an image that I’ve drawn like a year ago so that they can use it for their camp booklet this camp. Here it is:

It’s really sad that a big part of my life is coming to an end. I’ll miss the good old days.

Edit: Thanks Shizuki for passing the music baton to me. But sorry, I’m not doing it. I just doesn’t like the pass it on idea. Moreover, I don’t have much music in my collection. I’m just so lazy to get the songs thus I turn to the radio station more. Sorry about that. But that’s very nice of your indeed to pass it to me. At least it made me felt loved *smiles*

Mehh. My flu can’t bear to leave me. The past few days weren’t really great. I’m like blowing my nose every other minute. School was alright. New class, new people, new lecturers, everything new. I’m glad that I’m in the same class with another 2 guys from my form class. Actually, there’s still another girl that was from my form class. But, never mind. I don’t feel like explaining.

So, everything went pretty ok this week, except that I don’t really like my new class. It seems so dead. I mean, I can’t draw any conclusions now, after all it’s only the first week. About the previous post, I guess I’ll talk to my Guider again this Wednesday. The girls are having their camp and I couldn’t join due to school. So most probably I’ll just attend the Campfire. But I’ve this feeling that it’s not going to work. Mehh. At least I tried.

On another note, I’ve gotten myself a ticket to a Chinese Musical. I’m not sure if the transaction went well. I paid for them using my sis Debit Card and I’m hoping that everything goes well else I would most likely get a scolding from her. The priority sale is actually meant for XXBank Credit Card members and it so happened that my sis is using XXBank Debit Card thus I decided to give it a try to see if it works. As much as I hope that I’ll get through the transaction. I freaked out when the transaction was successful. I contacted the Ticketing Company as well as the Bank:

Ticketing Company (email): The priority sale is meant for XXBank Credit Card Members thus XXBank Debit Card members will only be allowed to purchase the tickets when the public sale commences (5 June).

Ticketing Company (phone): It’s ok for you to use their Debit Card for this Priority Sale as long as the transaction went through successful. The system will verify if you’re using XXBank Credit Card and once it’s verified, your transaction will be shown as successful. (My transaction was successful, so it’s alright?)

Bank (email): Same as Ticketing Company (email)

Now they’re making me worried sick.
