kindness undeserved

tonight, it is silent. a good time to start writing my 2000 word essay which was supposed to be due friday but was given an extension till monday.

whoever said lecturers were mean and heartless, take it back. NOW! they are very kind creatures. they know how we lowly creatures of a student suffer from the countless essays we have to churn out and have placed mercy on us. bless their kind, kind hearts.

but this kindness isn't without its flaws. because there is now an additional 48 hours in my time to churn out said essay, i have become a bum. thus very undeserving of the kindness shown by my lecturers.

so i shall end here.

2000 words here i come.

My True Hollywood Story

OMG I NEED TO VENT MY FRUSTRATION!

LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL OF YOU.

BACK UP YOUR FILES. NO. MATTER. WHAT.

YOUR COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED. EVER. IT WILL JUST TURN OFF ONE DAY AND THEN THAT'S IT. BYE-BYE UNSAVED FILES.

ok i could feel my throat getting sore typing in CAPs.

i am damn damn damn damn damn damn damn sad x 12358365498
*insert extremely depressed/sad emoticon*

my OS had a kink in it because the absolutely brilliant me shut off my notebook when it was in the midst of updating/installing new softwares.

let's just say that this wasn't the first time i have done this. but every other time i DID do it, i could start my notebook and it was like nothing ever happened. i think the last time i did it was the straw that broke the camel's back wtf. when i tried to restart, all it did was remain blank +__+

SIGH.

that's when i whipped out my manual and did everything it said to do.

but to no avail...

OMG OMG OMG *panic mode sets in*

i was cool, calm and collected before the manual came out. i was still cool, calm and collected when the manual came out. i thought to myself, i have all the luck with these machines. the amount of nonsense i do with them will amaze you. i'm like Handy Manny without the talking tools. i'm like Bob the Builder without the heavy machinery.

i can fix almost anything *ahem* just by shaking, poking, fiddling, meddling, *insert relevant term* the machine.

but not today. today just wasn't my day.

i thought it was my day because i received my assignment mark and was satisfied. i thought the day couldn't get worst but it DID.

SIGH

can you tell that i am VERY SAD!??

SIGH

i took it the computer guy to fix after all my tactics, magic tricks failed me.

tinker a bit here and there. connected an Ethernet cable (whatever that is) to another notebook and omg my entire file could be viewed from the other notebook! HALLELUJAH!!!

immediately began to transfer my files from my notebook to the other notebook. this was when i breathed a HUGE sigh of relief.

because the installation of the OS will take an hour, i left thinking that it was safe to leave my notebook behind in the hands of the computer guy whom i began to trust.

an hour came and went by.

i went back in a jolly good mood because all is well.

the moment i went up to the guy,

"the backup file is G-O-N-E"

*silence on my part* eyes to his face. eyes to the notebook that supposedly held my backup files.

"you're KIDDING me" *thinking he was gonna drop the act and start laughing HA HA HA*

"NO" *dead serious face on*

*my internal body parts gradually stopped working. hatiku pecah berkecai-kecai"
"OH EM GEE"
"i don't know what happened. the file is now gone. nobody touched the notebook"

"OH EM GEE!!! has this ever happened before?"

"No"

just my luck laa this happens to me. if i was alone at that very moment, i would have cried. i would have stabbed myself in the heart like buffy would stab angel/spike in the heart if she didn't love them so damn much.

I WAS DEVASTATED. must have shown on my face cause the guy HAD to ask if i was 'okay'.

WHAT THE FUDGE. OF COURSE I AM NOT OKAY. MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE IS WIPED OUT.

YES I'M BEING OVERDRAMATIC/MELODRAMATIC/DRAMATIC *whatever makes you sleep at night*

if i wasn't being so self conscious i would have thrown a bitch fit.

i left with a VERY HEAVY HEART making the guy promise me he'll do whatever it takes to try and retrieve my LOST FILES *teary eye*

so here i am, trying to re-install whatever it was i lost.

*SHOUT OUT TO BELINDA*
she told me about that i could transfer songs from my ipod to my itunes. bless her soul! she saved me the trouble of downloading the songs all over again although she did offer to give me archuleta's songs which would only save me the trouble of downloading one song less *cough*cough*

so i sit here in my room, devastated and frustrated.

but then there is a magic rainbow of hope, joy and peace after the storm (chay, 2008). i discovered things i NEVER knew my notebook had and could do ie. i can the change the wallpaper!? *GASP*

it's like i'm playing with a new toy after opening my xmas present. again.

and i've just realized that facebook is heaven sent. all is not lost after all. loads of my lost photos can be found there.

it's like a new beginning. a fresh start. an empty desktop waiting to be filled. and also a change of wallpaper *ahem*

the day doesn't seem to be looking all that bad anymore. this might actually be a blessing in disguise.

or maybe its just wishful thinking.

or maybe i'm really optimistic =)

either ways, i shall not dwell on the past.

a wise master once said "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present" (Oogway, 2008).

wise words indeed.

This has been my E! True Hollywood Story.


glamour me befitting of a true hollywood star wtf

fried bananas/banana fritters *oh whatever*

i have my radiotv journalism reader propped on my lap, ready to attack my notebook and hopefully finish my assignment by 5pm today (the deadline i self-imposed) but its 4.26pm now.

sigh.

i'm not one for deadlines. especially self-imposed deadlines wtf.

but the deadline is not until friday 5.30pm.

my goal. to complete it and hand it in tomorrow. *can i hear thunderous applause wtf*

it doesn't help that the smell of rendang and i swear i smelled goreng pisang/pisang goreng (whatever rocks your boat) wafting in through my room window. cue orchestra wtf.

and now i'm craving keropok lekor.

ok wait. i'm craving mcdonalds also. damn that flyer i saw last night.

and reese's peanut butter pieces.

so instead of doing my assignment, i'm thinking of food.

and if you must know, i'm also waiting for 90210 latest episode to show up on youtube. come to think of it, 12am deadline won't seem to do. change to 2am wtf. extra 2 hours! teehee *pats self on back*

okay okay. just to show you how much of a bum i am, my assignment word limit is ONLY...

*

wisdom be gone

don't laugh if i talk funny

because karma sucks *glares at belinda wtf*

i had my wisdom tooth(s) removed and will have another round to go.

therefore, i am no more wise (geddit!? hahaha so funny)

let's just say that it hurts to talk properly properly.

and don't get me started on eating. one sided chewing anyone?

but i have to say, the process of getting the tooth out...OH EM GEE! it's like a horror movie without the visuals. radio drama wtf.

unless of course, you open your eyes that is *such brave souls*

but of course i shut my eyes throughout the process *ahem*. not so brave and daring. but the sounds you hear will scare the bejeezus out of you. imagine the sound of drilling, drilling and more DRILLING. with a commentary from the dentist. omg somebody grab the remote and mute the damn commentary! plus i could actually hear the tooth being yanked out FORCEFULLY from my bones/jaws/mouth whatever scientific term it is. like literally bones breaking *shudders at the memory*

can you imagine if there was NO ANESTHESIA? let's NOT even go there.

silver lining?

i didn't feel a thing. although the anesthesia did hurt a bit. i could feel the needle poking through my cheeks and just waiting to get out from the other side *shudders* freakky stuff. and i could feel my cheeks getting hotter and my mouth getting numb. and i kept asking the nurse if it'll hurt because she asked if i was scared +__+

no. i was very brave. and in half an hour, i was done.

with a cotton bud shove in between my tooth which i didn't even realize was there till the doc told me to NOT swallow the cotton *insert relevant emoticon*

i am singing along to selena gomez's tell me something i don't know.

in my head of course.

because i can't sing along. hurts too much.

sigh.

ok maybe not mr big. he was a coward. nvm a rich coward wtf i'm so shallow.

the horoscope

today's horoscope read something like this "work and health no good" wtf. and it was damn true wtfwtf. i had the misfortune of having my cramps this afternoon when working on my radio program. sigh.

had to drive home in pain.

but now that the pain is gone, i will have to work on my 2500 word long essay. at this moment i only have 397 words +__+

yesterday morning, said essay was supposed to be due on friday (tomorrow!) but on the same yesterday morning, said essay was given an extension! can you feel the joy!? CAN YOU? CAN YOU? HUH HUH HUH!!!

anyways, extension means prolonged procrastination wtf. sigh, tak sedar diri langsung.

thank goodness no other assignment due next week or else will eat into the other assignments time. trust me. it happens. *shudders with fear at the thought*

so after happy news was given, had to sit through one and a half hours of S-L-O-W fragmented, traumatic, painful memory film followed by a colourful, make you wanna tap dance and sing musical film. quite a pleasant day. 2 films in one day = priceless wtf.

ok. that's not true. tuition fees = RMx,xxx.xx X2

actually, yesterday was a very good day come to think of it. because i L-O-V-E youtube!

gossip girl, one tree hill and 90210...OMG and many more to come hopefully! watched until 3am +__+

sigh. see what i mean when i said extension is actually prolonged procrastination.

90210 is my new guilty pleasure. i remember watching the original beverly hills 90210 with my parents on tv3 +__+

which reminds me. lipstick jungle! OMFG! damn PANAS wtf. i feel like a schoolgirl now. which of course i'm not. i am an undergraduate. who happens to act like a schoolgirl when no one is watching wtf. yes, i scream when i see a lelaki yang kacak on screen. which is alot. thanks to youtube.

i should hide my face now wtf.

by the way, every club should emulate MOS. the no smoking rule. i smelt damn good after =)
