Skipped Employment seminar again. This is the second seminar I’ve skipped. I was supposed to present one of the answers but unfortunately, I had problem doing it. I didn’t understand a jackshit from the textbook (probably I’m not focused) and I don’t want to present a crappy answer. I ended up sleeping at home 😀
I spoke to one of my seminar mates in the library. Apparently, only 4 people turn up for the seminar. Phew, thank god I’m not the only one.

My whole world surround you, and there’s when I stumbled and fell..

Some words from William Wordsworth which had me thinking…

“Though nothing can bring back the hours,
Of splendour in the grass,
Of glory in the flowers,
We will grieve not, rather find,
Strength in what remains behind…”

I wonder if it was the right thing to do. To end it when things were getting bad, hoping that when I get back to Malaysia – everything will be peachy in paradise once more. Now I am not so sure since the past few weeks, more hurt has been thrown at each other to cost enough massive damage to last us both a lifetime. I wish I could close my eyes and leave it all behind and not think about it for a while.

Anyway, on other matters, I am currently listening to Spin by Lifehouse on repeat (I hope Leong can’t hear it and if he can – Leong, are you mad at me yet? :D) and I think it is tHE-oHhHhh-So-fiNe song of the mo… Spinned, danced and sang to it with much enthusiasm in the privacy of my bedroom and enjoying myself immensely… When the world keeps spinning round, My world’s upside down, You and I wouldn’t change a thing, I’ve got nothing else to lose, I lost it all when I found you, And I wouldn’t change a thing, No, you and I wouldn’t change a thing…

Have you guys ever spinned yourself so much till you collapse on your back and watch the room spin around you very, very, very slowly… wahh..

mmmm.. maybe its time to change the song before I inflict any permanent damage onto myself. 😉

England two Turkey Nil

I watched England v Turkey just now. Both teams were playing very well. It was fun watching an England match with the Brits because like me, they love to shout and curse at the players when they are not playing well. The best moment came when Darius Vassel scored the first England goal. All of us raised our arms in the air and shout as loud as we can. It was so cool. I have not had this much fun watching football for a long time. The last time I had this much fun was 3 years ago back in Malaysia. I used to watch football at Mee-Yoke (the kopitiam opposite Inti College) with my roommate. At Mee-Yoke, all the fans would seat themselve separately from the opponent fans; for instance, the Liverpool fans would sit on the left side of the kopitiam and Man Utd’s fan on the other side just like the fans in the football stadium. When the game started, the Liverpool fans would throw insults at the Man Utd’s fan and vice versa. However, the best part was when a goal is scored, some of the fans would climb on the table or the chair; some would bang the table as if it was a drum, others would be laughing at the opponent’s fan and throw sarcastic remarks about the opponening team. The atmosphere was fantastic! I miss those days. 12:47AM “We live by faith, not by sight”

Crazy Cd drive.

My Cd drive on my Compaq Presario is dying. It refused to open when I pressed the button. After several attempts, I gave up. I used a straightened clipper pin to open it. Well, if the cd drive really dies on me then I can still use my USB external cd-r/rw as my cd drive. Then again that is just a short term solution because if my Windows OS die on me (touchwood), my USB drive will not work at all. I will not be able to install a new copy of the OS on my computer. Also, my cd drive cannot read cheap burned cds and some of the pirated cd as well. That mean the Len is approaching its depreciating life span. I think my cd-drive will be able to survive for at least another 12 months or longer if I don’t use it anymore. I am still thinking whether I should send it for repair. Hmmm…It might cost me more than GBP100 since the warranty on my computer has long expired. Argh!!! I hate laptop. Apart from being portable, all its spare parts are expensive and it is very hard to upgrade them!!! Okay…enough bitching about my Cd-drive. Hmmm…Let me test my cd drive again. *press the button on the cd drive* Aiks, it opens…Crazy cd drive.

The Recruit

I went to watch “The Recruit” just now. Al Pacino and Collin Farrel starred in it.
Rating: 3/5
Synopsis: Collin Farrel is a young CIA agent recruited by Al Pacino. Collin Farrel was induced into joining CIA after Al Pacino hinted to him that his missing father was a CIA agent. Collin was then assigned to spy on Bridget Moynahan (who is his girlfriend from the Farm, CIA training school), a suspected double agent.

Comment: Even though the papers gave it a very bad review, I like the show very much. This is not actually an action movie but it’s more like a drama. It depicts what a spy game is like. The lines are very plain, the only catchy line that I can remember are “In life, everything is a test” and “Things do not always seems like it is”. The characters depend on playing mind games to defect their enemies.

stupid clock

tiu, mahai. I set my clock wrongly this morning and ended up attending my seminar an hour earlier. I waited there for an hour and wondered why my seminar mates arent around. God damn it! Waking up for a 9am seminar is one of the hardest tasks in the world (especially when you sleep at 3am in the morning) and here I ended up attending a seminar at 8am. Tired and frustrated, I ended up sleeping in the library for 3 hours.

Sigh, Dad just sent me another email ordering me not to return to Malaysia. This is the 3rd one he has sent so far. He’s darn worried about SARS.

Finally, some photos..

the fear beneath my skin

Something soooo freaky happened to me yesterday…

Ok, let me fill you guys in on some details first – my ex-bf gave me this alarm clock that has a recording of him singing ‘our song’ to wake me (and everybody else in the neighbourhood) up in the morning. I shall be kind and say that it wasn’t the best of singing voices so I never used it as an alarm clock and placed it in a hidden corner at my study table away from any itchy fingers which may accidentally on it and unleash the wailing.

Then yesterday morning, I was awaken by my ex-bf’s gung-ho singing… obviously being in a state of drowsiness, I just climbed outta my bed, walk to my study table and off the alarm (which, mind you, had all its switches in Japanese so it took a grueling few minutes to finally turn it off). Climbed back into bed and lie there for awhile…

eh… waitaminute… who the hell turn on that alarm clock??

*insert appropriate Twilight Zone tune*

Ok, if any of you guys in Watson 16 turned it on as a prank, pLEasE tell me! Coz I am really freaking out – usually thanks to Leong who scares the hELL outta me sometimes… :P… Leong, was it you???

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
