Idle life...

Meh....should I say I have no life, or this is my way of life?


Nah...this is typical Ipoh life.

Lazing around. Since I haven't picked myself up to send my beloved PS2 to repairs (coz the dude said he can't tell what's wrong...need a week to diagnose and maybe a week to fix. On top of that, dunno if it's worth fixing.) I've been told it's better to just get a new one, but my mum is saying that if repairs cost half the price of a new machine, we should just fix it. So yeah...she had to say that after I called her and she said to come back from the shop. It's not exactly within my neighbourhood okay?

So, no PS2. What's a bored girl to do? Well, thank goodness for the PS1 emulator. Replaying Tactics and Legend of Dragoon on the desktop now. And by the sound of it, Sam has good news and will come home bearing a great treasure (in the form of FF9) next week. Finally...after goodness knows how many months of downloading. I don't care what other gamers say, FF9 beats FF8 any time of the day for me. So, yesh, that's one thing to look forward to.

I suspect with all these gaming and of course, feasting on lovely food, I probably grew more portly than I'd like to imagine, but hmm...maybe not too. I have a screwed sense of telling size, so yeah, whatever.


Yup...this is the typical Ipoh life. More or less, equivalent to that of a mild case of couch potato and gourmet traveller rolled in one. Now, if you'll excuse me...I'm off to hunt for another book to reread.

PS: I want to go for HP 2nd round...and I'm waiting for GI Joe...

Swell week...

I just came back for less than a week and it's been so "happening"...haih...

Shortly after I arrived home, there was a blackout in my area. Apparently it's been happening pretty often lately. I think the electricity was out for maybe about almost 2 hours?

Then the stray cat we've been feeding (who got pregnant) gave birth behind my house. Technically, inside the compound...and left the kitten there, umbilical cord and all. We were literally running around the house wondering what to do with the kitten, till my mum had the sense to call Luffy's vet and asked him for advice. Turns out that if the kitten was meowing loudly and scrabbling around (which it did) it's probably healthy. So yeah, one sigh of relief. But we have to help it cut the umbilical cord...*gulps*

It was...mystifying, if anything. I wouldn't say I was totally disgusted, but it wasn't the kind of experience you wanna go through again. So I put on the only pair of surgical gloves we have left and struggled with the kitten, trying to get a hold of the cord. It's so feisty, I thought, "Ah, this one is going to live for sure!" So yeah, got a hold of the umbilical cord...obviously, with my hands full of kitten and cord, I didn't do the cutting. My sister grabbed a pair of scissors (which we disposed of later) and cut away...

Done and away with all that, we tried to feed it with some pet formula milk. Future note...straws are lousy, get a dropper. Anyhoo...my mum said if the cat doesn't turn up, I'm gonna have to care for the kitten. Cute as it is, I'm not sure I'm so keen about feeding it and helping it poop. But thankfully, its mum turned up a couple of hours later and carried it off. I think it gave birth to a few more. So there we were, cheering for the reunion, when my sister said, "Ah, we should have taken photos." But yeah..

Then I found out my PS2 is out of commission. AV wouldn't display...argh!! I've checked it through, and it's nothing to do with the TV, nothing to do with the AV cable, which leaves the machine itself...*beep*! My brother's theory was that it short-circuited during the blackout. Which kinda makes sense. So now I'm on a long holiday with no PS...great...

But all is not lost. My sister has somehow gotten hold of FF7, PS1 version. Although, regrettably, my grandfather broke my PS1 when he played with it the last time he came back, Sam downloaded the emulator. So right now, I'm hijacking the desktop until my PS2 gets ported off to repair...or doom be spelled when it's too old to fix. I just got my hands on Abyss and Star Ocean, so I don't care how, but I'm gonna play it.

Time to kick some Shinra ass, so if you please, I'll be off.

Off!

Haa....finally I can breathe a sigh of relief and say "It's finally over!"

Yep, finals are finally over...and we're officially going to be year 3 students next sem. But right how I have some very mixed feelings about that last day. It kinda sucks when you're taking an extra paper, especially if your friends finished early. It's like...missing out on a celebration, yeah? To be honest, after I did my last and final paper, most of friends have already gone off to celebrate their merdeka lol, Just a bit, for a very short moment, I felt a little lonely. But it wasn't all bad. At least, I got to watch Transformers and eat dinner with my aunt.

Then the next thing...I just found out that there's another subject that we have to take, albeit it;s offered free. That's throwing everything off balance...coz this means to finish in a year, I'll have to do my year 5-5-3...which is crazy. I'm not saying it's impossible, but seriously, five subjects in a sem? And for 2 sems in a row? On top of that, I have to think about my thesis too! I'm not exactly keen on killing myself, so this calls for replanning. But of course, this means I have to talk to all parties who are sponsoring my education, haih...

Guess I shouldn't worry about it. I think I'm a little down coz I'm missing family very very much right now. Just till Sat, and I'll be truly home free. Going to get some quick fix comfort *runs off to spazz about Jae*

Rant

I. Should. Be. Studying!


What the heck, man....can't concentrate at all. Just got back from Ipoh on a late evening bus...in all honesty, I don't like travelling by bus at night. Coz I'll have to take the bloody taxi and everything...bleh ><

Anyhow, I'm trying hard to read up, but much of it seems to be flowing out from some hidden crack somewhere...info is leaking out like nobody's business. And it doesn't help that I'm kinda high from watching a whole load of 2PM's 'Niga Mibda' (I Hate You) lives on Youtube. Plus, I'm already thinking about what to do on my holidays....I'm totally not in the exam mood -_-

Gah...

Bleh...not concentrating at all. At this rate, I'm pretty much screwed up for finals....

Wanna drown in songs and dreams and not bother about the 20+ chapters I need to read through.

By the way, had a weird dream last night. Think "Alien" meet "Resident Evil". Dreamt I was stuck in a school-like place (actually, more like a house with a bunch of students in there)...was supposed to be there to talk with the lady in charge. I assumed she was the head? Anyway...while I was there we had to be attacked by a bunch of weird creatures who kinda reminded me of those dog-faced, tentacle aliens from "Aliens". Witnessed one of it tear into the throat of someone outside the building, then immediately an alien burst out of the wound (Yeah, I think I watched too much TV lately...)

Then we were trying to find a way to first, protect ourselves and bar the creatures from coming into the building and then, it became an attempt to escape. It was kinda freaky...it's like living through Resident Evil, coz these aliens can disguise as human beings (har har...) Even if it's just a dream, I really felt the fear and the desire to survive. So the lady principal, one of the older male students and myself tried to find a way to escape. But of course, in 'plots' like these, the aliens end up closing in, and at the very last minute, when we thought we found a way to escape, the male student turned on us...

Turned out he was...infected already. And we're pretty much screwed. Nowhere to run, and hell, no place to hide. So what happens? Well, if you can't beat them, join them...so people say. That's what happens next anyway...
