oops?

i found out something yesterday.. its not my processor that's burnt.. its my motherboard! lol... and i've called up intel to complain about the processor... lol... i'll just need to fax in my receipt and warranty and i will get a new processor.. lol.. sounds good?

anyway, i think i'm fated not to use my computer for the rest of my academic year here in UK.. sigh.. I'm having a bad year with electronic components... i've broken my video card twice... once for spoilt memory, then after getting it repaired, one of the capacitor dropped off... sheesh... then my camera lens protector disengaged when i dropped it while i was in rome... I sent it for repairs and it came back fine, but this time around, i couldn't get it to operate totally... not surprisingly, i've sent it back for repairs and the 2nd time around, it came back with missing battery!! sheeesh! I did call them up and they promised they will send me the battery by monday.. and its already wednesday today! i'll wait till tomorrow... or else....

then came my current problem... sigh...

then again.. maybe its just a blessing in disguise.. i had the opportunity to read the Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and i'm almost finishing it already.. its so engaging.. hahah been reading it since monday night... not bad eh? was quite impressed that i could actually concentrate and be so interested in a story book! =)

u should read it too...

oh, i've found out that the stand up speak up wristband is selling like hotcakes in malaysia... RM45 each? lol... maybe i could get a few and sell it back home... any ideas/news?

fried P4 3.0E ghz

Damn it, i've just burnt my cpu.. god knows what happened... i know i've overclocked it, but it has been running fine for months really! it was just a ritual pro evolution 4 session when it knocked out.. sigh... facing a dilemma now.. either to buy/repair my processor or just wait till i'm back in msia.. sheeesh.. its damn incovenient.. or issit divine intervention.. for me to start studying? hahah

anyway, its 11pm and i'm at the college library.. trying hard to study.. library here opens 24/7 and i've just bumped into a few ppl i know.. sheeesh.. maybe i'll just keep quiet n start doing work for once..

ACJC SA1 guys! I will post the girls photo when i get them!

Fear

for the 1st time since primary school, i'm feeling quite worried about my school work... to be honest, i havent been really worried about my schoolwork... granted, i did attend a chinese primary school and our academic foundation is very strong.. the workload in my primary school is amazingly heavy... we had normal syllabus and in the afternoons, we were taught with singapore syllabus.. that way, I already had a headstart..

in secondary school, everything was a breeze.. i actually came out top in my class in hartamas.. thereafter, my mum switched me to MBS at the end of form 2, where academically its more challenging.. in form 3, i came out top in the form as far as the 7 PMR subjects are concerned... unsurprisingly, i didn't do well with art & craft, literature and sastera kind of subjects.. total idiot in those few subjects,sadly .. hahah

after that, i went over to singapore to continue my studies in raffles institution, singapore premier secondary school.. there, i came to know alot of geniuses.. those are the boys who are gifted AND hardworking.. in RI too that i realised that my command of language isn't very strong.. (hence, my poor standard of blogging here!) even that, i still manage to scrape 6 points in O-level.. honestly, i do not consider that as an achievement because of my H. Malay A1 and i'm not exactly proud of it..

even that, my initial plan of going to VJC was wrecked coz i actually scored 8 points for my prelims.. that year, VJ cut-off point for scholars is actually 7 & 4 bonus points.. well, it was a blessing in disguise actually.. got to know my baby in ACJC and things moved really fast (heh!).. i did realise what i was missing in RI.. the strong sense of belonging to the college.. i had the best time of my life in ACJC i dare say... we all work hard and played harder in college! everyday i looked forward to college (tho i sleep often in lectures!).. not surprisingly, our class spirit is very very strong and our class did very well in A-levels! we all still very much keep in touch till now.. gladly... tho it has not been a long time since we all left college (a year and a half), i do believe the class spirit will carry on for a long long time!!

after A levels, i practically did nothing for close to a year.. then i was admitted to IC october last year.. i carried on slacking and skipped quite alot of lectures during the winter term.. tho my attendance improved during the spring term, i think damaged has already been done.. during the xmas test at the end of the winter term, i did relatively bad compared to the rest of my peers.. then in spring test, which is 4 weeks into the spring term, i did quite alright i would say, scoring 78%.. but heck, there are ppl who scored 99.7%.. OMG.. lol.. not that i'm comparing myself with them, but 78% is not really that good... its not singapore-standard exams here, so everyone is scoring for fun, really.. hahah

anyway, i realised that i'm kinda gifted since a long time ago.. I have quite good memory in subjects that interest me.. like physics, mechanics, maths... i could recall things that are taught in lectures that i've picked up (if i'm awake).. i realised i could pick up a skill very quickly.. and do it decently well too, like foosball.. i realised that my hand-eye coordination and my spatial awareness is above average.. all except frisbeee!!! i cant believe i still throw a frisbee like an idiot! lol

digress: i do realised that i will always find the shortest way to walk to a destination.. everyone knows that walking in a straight path is the shortest way.. but not may ppl actually does that.. esp when crossing the road.. when there's a car coming by, many would wait for the car to pass before crossing the road perpendicularly.. i would just walk along the road until the car passes by, then i would cross it.. hahah I know i'm weird, but hei, thats me!!

yeah, back to the point.. now during the hols, i'm revising for the upcoming finals.. its starting to worry me.. coz i realised that the more i revise, the more i realised that i need to know alot of stuff.. for once, i'm kind worried that i wouldn't do well in exams... "well" meaning, ummm maybe top 10-20% of my course? my course has ard 130 students... top 30 would be great i suppose? well. i will just have to START doing my work now.. just need to find the right motivation.. but HOW?

if only there's An Idiot Guide to it..

baby and her gerberas (nice eh?)

yay

=) my baby start posting too already! heheh she posted for the 1st time.. tho it is just a crap post.. ahhah

wanted to change our blog address to our photobook's name... memoria! but too bad cannot.. it was taken up.. =( then she came up with "8 hours apart"... to be honest.. its quite cool.. hahah and it was available..

oh, u better use another font colour.. or something distinct.. like red... =) then can differentiate our post in a glance...

i'm actually studying now... for my finals... then can go back home to msia liao.. 2 months more.. not too long eh? cant wait to go back!! sigh.. maybe the HK trip cant materialize.. wanna go backpacking instead? was thinking east msia.. or go thailand? maybe can visit warin? heheh tell me about your ideas k? like how long break u can have n such..

muackz!

the nike stand up speak up bands

heiya!

the 1st post of this blog! after "much" discussion, we've decided to start blogging (like everyone else.. ) Its quite a cool idea really.. can place our journals online now.. hehe..

There's so much to start.. I'm already thinking that we need to place our current photos here.. n see how we evolve from here.. heheh i'll have to post a photo of me with my long hair! hahah

yeah.. we took quite long to decide on the name of our blog... asymptote.. cool rite? too bad i couldn't get asymptote.blogspot.com , or else it would be soo much cooler.. some other suggestions worth mention are influx, casa, metaphor n some other nonsense..

anyway.. i'll leave this for now... let mel have a chance to post something too! =)
