Baby Bugger - I'm a spoiler because you never know.

So much frust and frets I did on my little baby telephone for this few days. Apparently, it has been really rebellious to me.

You see, if it really is good to me, the screen layout will be perfect and clear, just like this one.

But I don't know what meant wrong. It turned out to be like this.

Each time I lock my keys and screen using the keyguard or each time the screen turns out automatically, this will happen. I tried lots and lots of ways - from resetting it's factory settings to searching about my phone's problem using Uncle Google. (quotes Chin Win)

What surprises me is that, I can't find anyone complaining about this bug. Instead there're lots more other problems...which are not any concern or close to my problem.

***

One night, I dreamt I upgraded my phone's firmware and the bug is gone! I woke up early the next morning just to upgrade my phone's software, hoping it must be a sign from the above which is telling me, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY!

(This is because I pray every night before I go to sleep, hoping my baby will be alright the next day.)

Now, the baby carries its latest software, V31.0.101 BUT the bug is still here!

***

You know, I'm never a upgrade-the-firmware type of person. This is because, I'm labelled as a spoiling machine at home. Yes, I'm extremely professional in ruining stuffs.

I remember once, when I deleted the firmware off my MP3 player! I was so shocked and I thought I spoiled it. Don't ask me how I do it, but I just amazingly deleted the whole software of my player, and at that time, my player was only 1 year old. By God's miracle, I manage to download the firmware from it's site again, and install my player as it is. Hallelujah.

Now, ask me about watches. I'm good in spoiling watches too. That explains why I seldom wear watch, though I can be real clumsy in a rush. Let's see, I broke every glass of my watch. I think this happens because I always swing my hand, and crash! there land my watch flat on the wall. Yeah, I put no mercy to those little time-telling machines.

Another one! I'm really good in breaking chairs! Hell, yeah! Come pay my house a visit - you can catch a chance to see all the broken chairs in my dining. How I do it? I sit on it using two legs (you know, like how Previn sits on a chair every time) and swing and swing till it drops, and it breaks and TADAA! That's how I do it. I even broke a new teak chair dad bought. It's still at the living hall. Look closely to those chairs in my house, every piece were broken by me.
(This explains much why I seldom rock my chair two-leggedly anymore. XD)

Guess, now I'm killing my telephone too. I hope not! It's not even one year yet! and most importantly, I love it so much I kiss it more than once every day! Plus, I didn't drop it hard at all, not even once. I didn't wet it before. But, I just don't know why the screen goes all fuzzy.

***

Talk about the new firmware now?
My phone responds so much quicker now! The entire music application had changed! The icons, the colours and also the tabs in messaging. And what I realised was, my internet app runs a lot faster. Loading pages are way quicker and connections are more secured.

It looks...better. It feels better (?) - not in my case. Yet.

The screen's still fuzzy!

Love Story (Seriously)

Yesterday was fun, awesome, fantastic, you name it, yeah, we got it!


Lights, cameras, invitations, red carpets - those are so 4B man!
Look at our menu! It sounded so...classy. A big hand to Yee Fung! :)

Yes, class party - a lunch (it wasn't really formal you know, since teacher wasn't present) at Las Caretas.

We practically had the time of our year yesterday. With the "quite-hyped-up" dancefloor, which only consists of LIESL AND NISSSSHTA! and some other guys.

4B can really dance. Really.
4B can really eat. (Despite the fact that Shaun gobbled up a huge amount of apple pies, I can't doubt it)
4B can really study. And that's why our class is super awesome. :D

Waiting patiently for every photo we took yesterday!

Oh, my Henry DeTamble

I dreamt myself bathed in milk in a tub. Oh my, how I wish I can be loathe with such happiness and relaxation. Probably I'm still far from that sort of lifestyle. Work harder, my dear. Word harder.

December 4th is approaching, but I'm still in my lingering mood. Now delaying every hour and wasting every time I have. I told myself, I'll practice after I finish The Time Traveler's Wife.


Oh, thank you Kenneth for borrowing me the book. I finished it already. I feel super deep right now, all thanks to this masterpiece.

Honestly, this book is deep and very fragile. It's so different from Coming Home or P.S. I Love You or A Walk To Remember. It actually left me thinking after finishing hundreds of pages of it. It made me think a lot. My mind strayed so far from reality.

It embraces a test of faith...patience, waiting, endurance, etc.

It's more like, I portrayed myself as Clare. And Henry as Eric Bana. (Oh, so hot!)

"Why is Love intensified by absense?"

"I put her heart close to mine, for safekeeping..."

Thoroughly, I didn't cried as much for this book. But, I feel super fragile, but tears still haven't leak out of my eyes. But alas, when Henry finally died, that's when the sad part occurs. Streams and streams of tears poking out.

Extremely.....revoking and.......erotic.

I think the author is a pro. She writes like a super genius, in every field that she wrote, she showed deep understanding it that certain topic. She can talk from biological terms - dopamine - to drugs, to music - Wagner, Bartok, Strauss, to German, French, even the scenes where they made love, she explained it so...precisely (?)


Cover version of Asian edition. Gosh, I suck. This is lame.

Overall, Henry isn't the perfect lover in the book. He is a fucked-up organism (quotes the book). Yea, he drinks and takes drugs and sleeps around. Oh, let me tell you something too. Clare isn't all that faithful to Henry as well.

Mehhh, I need to catch the movie. Quick!

As for now I gotta think of a way to return the book back to Ken, safe and soundly. Sorry if you find the book a little less perfect. :D

December Fraud

December intentionally deceive me like a wallaby. It set up a trap to lock me in an agonising situation. December 4th, I shall mark it. Mark you down, I won't walk away like how I sounded in every previous posts.

[I got to know about my ATCL date a week before finals. My teacher even pranked me. She told me that my exam is two weeks from that day. I cursed. Because if it was really two weeks from that day, it'll clash horribly with finals. And all the commotion of teacher and parents will happen again.

Before I could start taking up my breath again, my teacher told me, the day is December 4th. She pranked me. Way to go!]

I was scared, and deadly worry. I am afraid and horribly scared to think of the day - a Friday. I shall be crazy and butterflies will invade my stomach that day. I know, because I just know it.

Lesson yesterday was extremely drilling, in terms of physical and mental. Lesson was extended an hour longer, and my arms - which are terribly lacking of stamina - were in pain the whole evening. Maybe it's because I strained myself when playing. It's not even the real day yet, how to pull it off on December 4th in this case?

I actually tried my best not to screw when I played yesterday. I honestly did tried very hard, and overall, I think, it was okay to me. At least, the wrong notes and slips were minimal. But when my teacher told me that my performance was altogether disappointing, I was devastated. It's like I could kill myself that moment.

And at that moment, I thought of giving up.

It's so sad to hear that...when I tried my best, it turned out sour and disapproving. I really tried my best.

But, luckily teacher did all she could to correct me.

"Oh, rupanya problemnya kat body movement saya."

And from 1430 till 1700 yesterday, I was sharpening my performance. I gained confidence bit by bit again. I built and fixed those broken pieces. I felt as if I can do it again. Its like, I can slay December 4th now. :)

Double lessons next week. Intensive the week after. I can be a warrior by December 4th.

Thank God for the strength.

See? Isn't the December month like a prank?

Exceptional case for Boxing Day.

19.5 - 9.5 = 10.5

Can you feel the retardedness by just reading the equation?
It made me wonder what was I doing during exam. How can I actually do such funny mistakes...nyehh, I feel extremely retarded now.

I guess I picked the right/best time to come online. Everyone must be at that 3 hours BM tuition drill now - which results in me, being online alone. And I need to self-chat to make myself feel better. Or should I chat with Vincent?

Field trip : Mangrove Swamp at Tanjung Sepat.
That, class, is a mangrove swamp. Apparently, that is a very badly damaged estuarine which is the habitat for the Avicennia sp. the pioneer species in a mangrove swamp. It has long underground cable roots to enable it to anchor in the muddy soil and silt. What's more interesting is, it has breathing roots, we call pneumatophore which helps in gaseous exchange in the muddy soil. Yes, those stuff sticking out are its breathing roots.

As for the sunset, it is actually a refracted phenomenon. We actually see sun setting as a result of the refraction of light. Please refer to your Success book.

Gosh, it's time to de-info my brain!

Had one of the most fun weekend. Escape home and fleed from Civics book and went all the way to aunt's house in KL when mum warned me to stay at home to study.

For dinner, we headed to Tanjung Sepat. Went past KLIA, and we saw uncountable aeroplanes on our way.

I guessed I haven't told anyone how fascinated I can be by just seeing airplanes.
Yeeaaa, I have a sense of fascination for planes.

Okay, my mind is blind now...

47. Eh, Kevin Cheng going SP on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMMMMMMMGGGGGGG 0.0

I witnessed it.

Been sitting in front of the laptop the whole day.

Went out for lunch and I witnessed a theft near Taman Tasik Wawasan, I guessed that's the name. Well, I saw this guy, with his hair dyed to gold, you know, like those you'd probably labelled as "kam mou". He was running, and he was chased by two smaller kids.

I supposed the two kids were playing basketball there. Poor them, I'm very sure the incident that happened was that "kam mou" stole one of the kid's bag and ran of to his partner's motor and off they went.

I was glancing and more like staring at that evil fellow, he glanced back. Hope he doesn't remember me.

I saw the motor's number plate.

Dad reported to the police booth near my place, and they couldn't do anything you know?

It went across my mind, why do people want to steal things?

For God's sake, get a life! They're just kids lah!

Where's my inner ear?

My page seems to be suffering from drought, while most other parts of Southeast Asia is suffering from Typhoon Melor. Afraid Mokgobja might sacrifice more kids just to see me update my blog,hmph.

Hah, and Scott must be thinking what am I doing here.

You see, I practically dumped the laptop and TV on my "Who to date?" list since...last week. Well, good to see that I can actually stay away from these two so damn sexy techies...for one week already.

Lesson just now was extremely...drilling. I'm in the midst of stuffing biological facts with chemistry and then I have Jiaaa who's constantly telling me facts and cases about law, and then just now I had 1.5 hours of plain music theory. Usually I would just fall asleep in front of my teacher.

Teacher told me a lot of stuff. Like the programme notes story, that I need to bow before and after my recital, and that I need to dress appropriately, and that I cannot copy anyone and my programme notes mustn't be too fancy.

She told me in one case, the examiner just tore away the first page of a student's notes and told him/her "I don't need all these."

This story totally killed my mentality, my strong and brave mental. I'm feeling so scared...don't know why. So much uncertainties about my ATCL again. I might not be able to live up to expectations and I'll flush the money down the toilet bowl, and then I might screw myself and embarrass myself and then I would not stand the pressure and then I would....most probably....breakdown...and..... (??)

Just the other day, I was telling and asking Rachel how to do and finish up my notes. I bought hardy papers for it already, but I have zero plan in mind. :( See that sad smiley? It shows that I need help. I don't know how to add a border for my front cover, and I don't know how to... and how to......... -___-

And just the other day as well, I was telling Rachel (yes, it's the day Fel skipped school) that I might want help with my recital. I completed my entire recital for the first time on Monday. Don't know if it's an achievement or not, but I'll take compliments. :)
So, to overcome my nervousness, perhaps I need more audience to listen me reciting. Exciting eh?

Days at home had been entirely...unamusing. I sleep at 2200 and wake up at 0600, so said. Actually I sleep at 0000 and wake up at 0900. So not used to getting up without Jiaaa at home for me to disturb and annoy and disturb....

Never mind that, because all I need is my cup of mocha white coffee, which I haven't got as promised...

Fuisshh, can't wait to see me in yearbook! Sharp and clear, behold 4Budi's page.

I did it.

I did what?

I think I just did some stalking-like actions - but of course on cyberspace.

This proves just how dangerous the internet can be at times, and I editted this post several times before getting this right. Obviously, I'm trying very hard not to expose my personal side too much.

You know, the best part is that, I've got friends who involve in stalking industry too. But sometimes, the end product of what they get were always questionable.

Shut up if you know what's this. But most of the time, I reckon, no one, other than my two other lovable spies, would know what exactly is this. Hahaha, and hopefully the spies won't be outraged with my action - uploading this picture here.

You remember the post I did when I was undercovering in the park, investigating over plights of foreign maids. HAHAHA! If you haven't read this, I think you should. Click here!

I didn't really mean to stalk them, it's undercover. I was trying to be one of them that time, but with the heavy local slang, it's really hard to cope with what they're speaking. And you know, sometimes, to eavesdrop, or maybe I can call it, to lend ears to their conversation, it can be really, very interesting.

I mean, how often do you spend time to eavesdrop in conversation between maids?

Sometimes, I don't even bother when my hind neighbours' maids start chit-chatting in bright daylight.

Sometimes, I don't even care when my neighbour's maid starts singing whenever they're out. And seriously, this maid can sing! Like winning Indonesian Idol type of serious. Well, she annoyed me once. She was singing too loudly that I need to increase my TV's volume. LOL!

But I know a way to annoy my neighbours back. (evil grin)
I can simply play my Berkeley's Concert Study. That will do. Even my family members hate it.

They said "What kind of piano song is that? So noisy one?"
