DIVERSIONAL
THERAPY | 17 NOVEMBER 2003 11.39PM Oh my God!!! Even as I am supposed to be revising, I am finding so much interesting trash on the internet!!! I dug this link out of Gera's archives. It's a fortune telling program from rkwest.com that includes tarot etc. Here's my readings: Palm reading
Other readings from the other sub-programs, if you are interested in the rest of my results. Only the palm reading seems pretty accurate. Weiming's runes and crystal ball readings were rather odd. They mentioned boredom and getting out to explore other options on the romance front. I gave him a hairbrush spanking, haha... although he protested against my hitting him for something that was the computer's fault... He mentioned something about why let the computer run your life? Hahaha... He's not wrong about that, although I am almost as good as chained to my computer as my life support system. Just look at the amount of time I spend on my computer!!!! I may as well marry it. Sheesh. Maybe I'm the one who needs to get out more... BANJA MANIA! | 17 NOVEMBER 2003 6.23PM THE HARRY POTTER: PRISONER OF AZKABAN TRAILER IS OUT!!!!!!! WATCH IT HERE!!! Ooooh... can't wait... I just LOVE Harry Potter... don't you? The trailer sent shivers up my spine as I was watching it... awfully well done, as those British kids would say. CAN'T WAIT, CAN'T WAIT! I have SO got to watch this... I never liked Matrix even a particle as much as Potter. Dong has introduced me to a new online game called Banjarama... it's addictive!!! Not the usual type of game which involves strategy, shootouts or whatever, it's a 'discovery' type where you just go round trying to see what can be done or taken at various places in the game location, Itland. I'm still only at Episode 1 though. I can't figure anymore things to do except wait till the seagulls at my door hack the path open so I can go to the 'beach'. I forgot to write down an odd dream I had the other day: I dreamt that Weiming and Mel were supposed to go on some sort of geog-related camping trip, but Mel couldn't make it for some reason so Weiming gleefully went on ahead. It was supposed to be held on some sort of island, in any case, it was near the sea. A day or two later I found out from the news somehow that a tsunami of some sort had hit their camping site and many of them drowned, not many survived. And at that moment in the dream, I just knew Weiming was dead. I was so sad, it was so real! I just didn't know what to do then. Just at that moment, Weiming stirred in his sleep and bumped me, then I sort of registered that there was someone beside me and who could it be but Weiming who sleeps beside me every night!? That's when I realised everything was just a dream, and I woke up and just hugged him and somehow I couldn't control myself and started crying... that's how great my sense of relief was to find out that he was really fine. Anyway then I told him about it and he said he wouldn't go camping anywhere near the sea, if that would make me feel better. Personally, I wouldn't know if he really thought I was just being silly... but then again it's not everyday your girlfriend wakes up crying thinking you'd died, so... Anyway I was supposed to be mugging... although I have to admit I keep falling asleep within 15 minutes everytime I pick up a book to go through. Sigh. Oh and Weiming made wantons for lunch just now, yumyum! HELLO TABULAS... | 16 NOVEMBER 2003 8.09PM Had a really good Mac breakfast today... So full that I didn't need lunch! Okay, like Cessy said, I joined Tabulas, but not being the tech whiz she is I am rather lost. Tabulas has sucky templates (sorry Tabulas) that are named after Pokemon characters (think Charmander, Pokemon... *grimace*) but at least they know it. The colour scheme thing isn't exactly very user-friendly either. Too long a list, all the options look the same. I just forget which is which and then the colours don't go. Either way you can go see the mess I made of it here. Only one post for the sake of not seeing German or whatisit in the templates. Perhaps when the exams are over I will consider actually doing something about it. Not to mention learn CSS. Meanwhile, some eye candy is Cessy's page at Tabulas. At the risk of sounding bimbotic, Cessy, you're my idol!!! Now playing: Walking On Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves ~ always so uplifting! Added this really cute calendar thing, seems quite fun! Call me an attention whore, but its nice to know you've got activities to fill up the calendar with. Although it just means more deadlines and dates to procrastinate about, haha. Made quite a fun bunch of icons and cursors today. When I am free I will revamp and update all the storage space and accordingly, the stuff there, then upload all the stuff so you can play with it! The new set of cursors really is pretty though, albeit more girly than anything else. Woke up this morning feeling like shit again. Or more accurately, was woken by the shitty feeling. Totally, totally shittified. Maybe I shall go to see the YIH doctors for more Clarityne. I'm down to just one. NO, I have NOT been taking it every morning or anything. It's the leftover ones from the last time I went to see the doctors when I had that terrible cough. I think I'm sounding like some shrivelled, paranoid drug addict trying to eke Prozac out of his shrink. Now playing: Heaven is a Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle ~ all-time chiong favourite! Oh and just to clarify... it seems that Cursor Maker is shareware. So I guess you don't have to pay for it even after 30 days? I don't know... But the help page is never up, and after running a quick check it seems the address given originally as the help page is no longer hosted at that domain... no such user anymore I guess. Why doesn't he just package a help file in???? Not that there are SO many functions anyone could ever need help with. I'm in holiday mood already... and the exams haven't even started. lol. And when I have a nice layout like this, who needs Tabulas? Even if this is manual... in fact, I don't care if you think "sour grapes..." but in a way I'm real proud of it cos I think it up myself, and in a way, it doesn't matter where it goes when it's nice... does it? AND I do my own gallery... though rather unsophisticated, but gimme credit for trying, at least! ......please??? AIN'T MUGGING... | 16 NOVEMBER 2003 4.06AM It's already god-forsaken hours and here I am, still not mugging... I feel like a witch in Muggerland, like Emily said... Instead I spent all day feeling sick, making cursors and generally surfing the net... My achievement of the day is A BRAND NEW SET OF CURSORS to complement the new layout!!! If you are using IE 6.0 and above, I guess you can see the preview already. Somehow the script doesn't work with lower... maybe they haven't researched it enough? Oh well... and to the rest who want to see it but don't... it means it's time to upgrade! Or if you have non-Microsoft loyalties well I don't blame you but that doesn't mean I know how to fix it. I'm bred on Microsoft. Anyway... Emily: quit feeling so lousy already... you sound so awfully sad... and if you want to follow the Haloscan link button at the bottom left to get your comments tool if you want one. Feeling very back-achey... I feel like an old woman with arthritis or rheumatism. Mah says the whole toilet bowl thing is very Du Champ... click here to find out what he means. I learnt this in Art & Philo by the way, which incidentally is my first paper, and open-book at that. Interested parties do take that module... PH2209. I managed to get an A- on my group project... but bear in mind that I do have a rather dynamic group. You might need a little luck with that given the eclectic mix of people bound to take this module. Meantime, here's a little software review: Cursor Maker doesn't match up to Icon Cool Editor, especially in terms of interface, but has a capture function that I don't remember Icon Cool having. Either way you have to pay to continue using once 30 days is up. Get IconCool here, and Cursor Maker here. EXAM FEVER | 15 NOVEMBER 2003 10.52PM Aaaarrgggghh!!! My nose and head are killing me... I feel like a petrol station - my nose keeps filling up. Could this be the proverbial exam fever??? Exams have officially begun... I can see the poor souls practically digging their brains out in the exam hall (those in Sheares MPH, at any rate). For some reason I find the weather ridiculously hot, cos my head and body feel hot and stuffy even though I have the windows and door open and the fan on at full blast. Not that the fan is ever off anyway. And if someone wouldn't mind, kindly feedback to me if the font is too big or small or just right cos somehow I must be really blind, I enjoy having large font text that I realise shows up obscenely huge on other people's browsers. By the way Sher, I think you must have missed my last comment on the tagboard since I've taken it down. Nonetheless, I will repeat myself: Is it something in the family that's troubling you? If you want to talk about it, remember, I'm always here. If not, then just take real good care of yourself okay? My regards to Mark, hope you two stay lovey-dovey forever!And I will assume he's taking good care of you too, unless you tell me otherwise. Not like I can do anything really, but it's the thought that counts right? *Hiakz* And before anyone tells me to take it easy, drink more water and get more rest: I am drinking like a fish, I am sleeping all the time, and it's precisely because I take things so easy that I am in such deep shit academically. Just flush it. MAKEOVER | 14 NOVEMBER 2003 11.22PM Can't keep my itchy hands away from webstuff somehow. This new layout is the interim makeover before the exams end or the holidays start, just so I feel as if I have done something. Haha. So much for mugging. Anyway I took my Brit. Comedy assignment back today - I got an A-!! Yippee! And I thought it was a load of crap. *Shrugz* And I added a comment tool! Too bad about the Tagboard at the moment, I just can't find room for it on this page. Be patient on the links, there are plenty to convert and I may accidentally miss them out. For those interested, no I didn't do the toiletbowl graphic. I edited it from somewhere else and it actually doesn't look very different from the original picture. HOT/NOT | 13 NOVEMBER 2003 11.22PM I am STILL steadfastly NOT mugging. Don't you just love me? Add to that an assignment that is due tomorrow and voila! The perfect excuse not to start. In any case, am I lucky or what... Weiming is cooking for me again! He really loves to cook... I just wish I was half as domesticated myself. Anyway people, seafood pasta for lunch today! Carebears are my latest mania... I am gonna start collecting the beanie plushes. Right now I have Grumpy and Tenderheart. Other sponsors are most welcome! BUY BUY BUY! Blame it on my brother and his Carebear movie prezzie if you want. I am itching to revamp the site look again. But I know that if I start work before the exams start proper I will end up not studying at all so I had better wait for the holidays. That will give me the perfect excuse to go out and buy new (pirated) software to try, besides copying Dong's Dreamweaver. Don't anybody spoil the surprise cos I have no idea how it works, or even looks like. Does anybody NOT love that bitchfest of a show, Are You HOT!?!?!?! The only thing I don't get is why they take it so hard. Look around them, in America it's probably a 'close your eyes and throw a stone and you'll hit someone fat' situation. They look hot at any rate. Why is it so important to be hot on stage? Prizes aside I guess. And I just love the sass some of them answer back to the judges with. Ha... Yah anyway I think I'd better haul my ass to the kitchen to help out. Look out for new layout over the hols and meantime, wish me luck for the exams - lots of it! THE GREAT MUG | 5 NOVEMBER 2003 12.37PM The Great Mug has begun. I see muggers. They are everywhere. They are in the Arts forum, the libraries, the corridors, the computer rooms, even the classrooms and LTs... It's like this huge conspiracy. The government wants to deal with only a selected proportion of delinquents at a time, which is why they set the exam dates so differently. My brother has finished his exams. Finished a couple of weeks ago, to be exact. Mein is still embroiled in the midst of hers. The 'O' Level kids should be having theirs. While we poor souls in NUS have it worst off. I end on the 27th of November. Ahaha... who am I kidding with all this melodrama? Anyway back to reality... I bought a pair of hamsters, and I've named them Piki (the gal) and Poco (the boy). I also bought them a Habitrail Safari box to live in. The pitfalls of pet-owning. Somehow I always manage to justify frills like this for pets, even when they don't obviously need it. The 20 fish fry are now down to 5, and it looks like I'm going to lose another one cos it seems to be lying on the bottom all the time. Talk about high mortality rates. I'd hoped to have more so I could put some in the 6th floor tank when they got older, just so they could have a bit of colour. Looks like it won't be happening with this batch of babies. I CUT MY HAIR! Yep, I chopped off about half of my hair. My head suddenly feels really light. I decided on the spur of the moment to cut it at Ginza. No pictures yet though. Silly me went started agonising about my EN3224 essay on Monday night thinking, shit shit shit I need to finish this tonight and that means no more sleeping for me tonight! Then I gave up on the topic I had initially decided to do and went back to the topic page to check out a new one. Only then did I realise, to my horror of horrors, that the essay was only due on Friday! What a cow I was, rushing for no reason. I had thought it was due the day of the final lecture. After which revelation I promptly lost all stomach for doing anymore work in relation to it. Actually, more like any work at all. Then I went to sleep so early that I woke up at 9am on Tuesday. Miracles never do cease, do they? Managed to work out a sticky problem with my EL2161 group on Monday though. Phew. Almost didn't get my name on the project. Not that I didn't want to contribute, but they were so slack that I had no idea what was going on. I'm glad Aha, and this section is especially in response to Erika the Jew. Yes, blogging brings with it plenty of trouble. But think about it, doesn't anything and everything? Think, flying in a plane. Using your email. Staying in a hotel, especially after all the bomb blasts and all. And I haven't stopped blogging. I'm just slack. As you are. You know, blogging has become an escape, an excuse not to do work. Whenever I am sitting at the computer faced with an essay to do, all alone in the room while Weiming is out, I tell myself that I should really start doing my homework especially since there are no distractions. And then of course I open Frontpage Express to update my blog, or go online and read other people's blogs. I think I must be beyond redemption. Although I also know that I'm wasting my time, I just can't help it and end up whining about the time wasted on my blog. Alritey now, better get back to my essay. You're Most Like The Season Winter ... You're often depicted as the cold, distant season. But you're incredibly intelligent, mature and Independant. You have an air of power around you - and that can sometimes scare people off. You're complex, and get hurt easily - so you rarely let people in if you can help it. You can be somewhat of a loner, but just as easily you could be the leader of many. You Tend to be negative, and hard to relate to, but you give off a relaxed image despite being insecure - and secretly many people long to be like you, not knowing how deep the Winter season really is. Well done... You're the most inspirational of seasons :) Yes, quizilla-ing again. Doh... I went to take it cos I saw it on Trix's blog... I liked the picture.
