bored out of my wits

Posted by freebird at 10:28 PM on August 1, 2005.

i'm boreedddd. you may ask, how can i possibly feel bored when i'm sitting in front of one of the greatest (and time awasting) mechanisms of the 21st century, a laptop.

well, try a laptop that is super slow with simple commands, overheats every 2 hours, unable to download MSN messenger or update Windows Messenger, bittorrent, IRC, and a firewall more impenetrable den the Berlin Wall, it takes me 5 min to download a single neopets game.

i'm entertaining myself playing Solitaire now, even as the laptop fries itself into a frenzy. i don't want to do my tutorials~

and the printer is horrid as well, the minute i take my eyes off it to chat to yy, it decided to start printing without 'eating' the paper properly, resulting in having tonnes of precious expensive ink splashed all over its mouth and rollers, and staining every subsequent piece of notes.

and i've got a running nose.

i want my MSN!

no biting

Posted by freebird at 09:32 PM on August 6, 2005.

i pounced upon the TimeOut bar, tore off the wrapper and popped the thick chocolatey bar into my mouth. its been ages since i last ate chocolate~! somehow i was craving chocolate at NTU, especially during my monday lecture and tutorials (the timetable was nonstop from 8.30am to 2.30pm, there was no time to slot in a lunch)

and... OUCH. pain shot through the mouth when my first row of teeth touched the bar. i nimbly tried biting with the incisors (ouch), the canines (ouch) den tried squeezing the bar towards the molars (double ouch) and stared at the beautiful creamy bar in my hand. and i broke the bar into 4 little pieces and swallowed them.

=no more chocolate till 1.5 years later i guess=

and just when i'm losing weight too. i'm suspecting its the hospital stay... wait, i KNOW its the hospital stay, and orientation and bad eating habits and braces, somehow i'm underweight now. yay~ i think the next time you see me i'll be skin and bones ^  ^

i need milk and yoghurt and all things fat.

anyway, as of now, i'm giving up on my laptop and going off to buy a budget desktop. i'd broken 2 neopets records and not had my scores sent to the server successfully to date, and i'm mighty pissed about it. grrr!!! and my lecture notes can't be printed, when it starts getting hot i can't access webpages or shut down, all i can do is play solitaire (there's a higher winning chance on the laptop than on this computer here)

and clubs-wise, i'd coughed up membership fees for tennis (wed/thurs night; i'd never touched the sport before), SIGGRAPH (roxar!), Japanese Appreciation Club (bet you saw that coming) and Investment Interactive (trying for publicity sub committee). and i'm involved in this hall production held in sept at jubilee hall as a backstage crewmember.

let's see, for your info there's a points system in the hostel allocation; you get points when you participate in activities or are in club committees. on hearsay, you need about 40-50 points for the right to stay in a double room, and 90+ points to stay in a single room. being in a single committee gives you around 12 points. do the maths. ^ ^

and there's jap tomorrow, i'm so so so falling behind in lessons. bweh.

and yay~ i skipped my thursday last lecture to go out, if i didn't have to go to the bookstore to buy my textbooks for my friday tutorial, i could have just skipped the whole day. pah.

busy busy busy

erp, i have no idea what i'm so busy about; its just that i have no time, i have tutorials that i do not wish to do, the number of things i HAVE to do keep piling up, and i have no idea just what happens to my time.

its been the second consecutive late night, and tonight looks set to be the longest night of all - 2 tutorials to pia, plus a presentation to prepare and a week of bloody lecture notes to print (which takes >1 min per sheet coz i'm using BubbleJet)

it doesn't make sense! *shrieks to the sky* what happened to me?!?!

and you know what happened to my time? Solitaire and Scrabble. -_- now kill me.

uni life

Posted by freebird at 04:56 PM on August 23, 2005.

bweh, really, a lot's been happening since i'd stepped into uni. basically i screwed up my time management horribly lar. everyday ends at 3am because, why? i spend my entire afternoon tinkling about on my computer, and the entire evening - night playing inter-block games (current standing: won boggle, got thrashed at weiqi, walkover at darts coz it dragged till too late and we all want to go back and pia tutorials. and its scrabble later tonight, othello on thurs, netball on fri and volleyball the following wed)

and i end up scanning through my lecture notes and textbooks at 1am in the morning trying to pick out solutions to the tutorials and assignments. and since i'm a day-person (altho i'm slowly converting) i'll start misreading all the paragraphs and seeing numbers that aren't there, making for a lot of "huh?!" answers the next morning.

breakfast is soft-boiled eggs and bread; or Brand's Chicken Essence if we forgot to buy bread in the morning. lunch is... somehow always forgotten in the rush to get to lectures; i'll only notice that i'm OH MY GOD I'M SO HUNGRY only in the middle of lectures and tutorials or like, now. 2 hours before dinner. basically, living in hall screws up your diet, and somehow you'll manage to gain weight even though you're climbing up and down 6 stories of stairs every morning to class AND not eating your meals.

need to go start drawing (=buh=) now.

as a sidenote, i want clegion, ffxii and magna! *cryz* 

Currently feeling: bored
