ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


MY COM CRASHED!!! ARRGH sheesh WTH #%$%(^&(*()_**%$@$E(&_) huhhhhhhhhhhh =((((((( stupid stupid stupid com!!! gahhh.

i was just using it yesterday, then i was calling up photoshop to work on the dance jacket stuff and all and IT CRASHED!!! there was like a small "pah" sound and the whole screen just went blank! and it won't on. i tried pressing the reset button, pressing and/or holding the startup button, plugging and unplugging everything (although judging that my com is actually a laptop that's supposed to function without a plug that wouldn't really work anyway) and shaking and banging the com. haha well i didn't dare to slam it too hard so i just sort of banged it in case it was something out of place or something (well, what was i supposed to do? i was desperate ok.).

rarrr. then i decided since my laptop is down i shall go spend more time with my tv. and so i switch the tv on and VOILA my tv is spoilt too -_- xinhui thinks it's jealous because i spend too much time on the com and too little time watching it but it has my brothers' attention what! gah. so now i'm technology-broke, practically. this is what's gonna happen, divided by a million of course, when that "perfect disaster" thing i watched on national geographic the other day of a technological failure by a sunstorm or something happens. see! i DO watch tv! *glares at the tv*

sigh. i hate being cut off from the world! thank goodness my phone is still working i tell you. or else i would scream. and in case you're wondering why i'm able to be online typing this, i'm using the com outside my room. it's my grandfather's he brought it from his office when my brothers broke my laptop screen. now it's just used for them to play games. and it's totally used by them so i'm totally clueless as to how to operate it. and i can't even install msn because i don't have administrator privileges! *cross* and my brothers are asleep so i can't ask them. i couldn't even log on, i had to get mum to log on because they password-protected their user accounts. and she wouldn't even tell me the pw to david's account (the one i'm in now). why is it that THEY are told MY passwords when i change passwords then?! sheesh. and she doesn't know daniel's password, she's only allowed access to this user so that she can check her email. bleagh. i hope i get a new com/my com fixed soon. that's xinhui's theory why my com crashed, by the way. cause yeye was talking about getting me this on-offer student laptop since my screen was totally broken. he'd just walked out of the room when my com crashed. who says machines don't have feelings?

rarrrrr.

oh on a happier note, i got a bag for prom! yay! and i'm totally upset that pamela got shoes that match my bag and dress haha although she has superb taste and looks gorgeous in them. so i guess it's ok.at least i have good taste.

haha and my mum is watching the chinese channel. she somehow managed to fix the tv such that we get non-cable shows. which is at least something, although i'm missing my trashy disney channel shows. haha. and i miss the national geographic shows. like the ones daniel (and by extension david, me and sometimes mummy and papa) always watches - perfect disaster, air crash investigation, crash scene investigation, the flight that fought back, etc. air crash investigation is very nice. although it makes you feel like every plane you're on has a really high chance of crashing. but then they do usually tell you what safety measures they've taken after that crash at the end of the show, so it's not so bad. hm. so anyway, mum was watching the chinese news, and i sat down to watch and try to figure it out. and i was like saying to myself, "oh, this'll improve my chinese! :)" then i realised that chinese is OVER *bsh* haha old habits die hard, i guess. or an indicator of how much chinese has actually infiltrated my mind and life without me realising. haha then the next thought was: " maybe i should actually watch this still. after all, the chinese channel is far more watched than the english one so the quality must be better." (yeah, the logic kinda sucks, but it IS true to a certain extent ok.) haha then all the "class and identity/race and identity" readings flashed in my head and all and i realised how much lang arts has subtly changed my perspective of the world too. it's true when they say a man cannot step into the same river twice. the river is not the same, and neither is the man.

it's true. hm. interesting. once you know something, you may forget it, but you can never un-know it. it's a one-way street, this life thing. you can only learn more, never less. (of course, whether you get smarter or not is an entirely different matter, but in any case that's not the point here.) your perspective keeps changing, and sometimes when you've learnt even more you realise that the way you looked at things at first is actually the way you look at them now (after a lot of changing perspectives), or it was a good way, or something. kinda like shopping for shoes (prom is SO taking over my life -_-): you walk around the whole place, then realise the shoes you like best were in one of the first few shops. hm.

speaking of which, i went shopping today. (for prom. what else? sigh.) haha my slipper broke!! wth. xinhui and i were like OH NO OH NO haha then xinhui called pamela to check if she'd left the house yet in case she could bring slippers for me. she had, but then she suggested going to popular for glue. haha i was really skeptical, but hey, you know what, elephant glue is REALLY good. my slipper held through all the shopping after that, and all the way to school and dinner and shopping after dance! haha xinhui dripped the glue on me *wince* while she was like gluing my slipper =( haha so now my fingernail is superglue-layered. at least the part on my skin kinda wore off with the cells. (epidermis layer? epithelial cells? something like. that. gosh i'm so SAD i'm not taking bio next year! =( ok well back to the point..)

haha apparently pamela had gotten her fingers stuck together for like a whole day last year with the same glue. quite funny, i'd always thought roald dahl exaggerated (hyperbole!) when he wrote of matilda gluing her father's hat to his head for revenge. so it's actually possible. wow.

met nicole and xiao xian shopping as well! haha =) and jade from america's next top model! gosh. cool man. and yay. now i'm bored with blogging. bye! =)
