Me the clumsy pot

SIGH.

I managed to trip on the cable connected to Waszowski AGAIN for the 2nd time!

SIGHHHHHHHH.

I need a cheergroup to cheer me up. I don't think this can be cured by retail therapy. Stupid, careless me. Sorry for letting you down again, Wasz.

SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Bugs in my life

Lenik, you're right. Something is always wrong when it comes to internet issues.

The weather widget on my blog just wouldn't show up on my computer, it's visible when I use the uni computer. That happened to many other sites too, sitemeter for example which is a real nuisance as I can't check my blog logs from there until I figure out what went wrong.

Another thing that really bugs me is that the people I want to chat to didn't appear online at msn at all this whole week! Grrr. Where are you guys?

A non-internet issue: Biochem lab was completely crazy this week. We got the results, but didn't know what they meant then. Lab report is due next Wednesday, and the report should contain 3 experiments in total, the worst thing is that it's about utterly boring photosynthesis which is not yet taught at lectures yet.

Hmm, seems like I cannot stop complaining. Oh well, might as well get them all out of my system now. I seem to be particularly annoyed by someone AGAIN this week. Poor him/her, must think that he/she has done no wrong to bug me off. I know this is kind of mean, but he/she is just like an itch that I want to scratch off, but it's impossible. Sigh, I just wish circumstances were different.

For the first time

One of the few songs I just can't get enough of these few days: For the First Time by Lifehouse.

Unknown by many people, Lifehouse is actually a Christian rock band that has gone mainstream. They've come a long way, and come out with one of those ageless hits like "You and Me" and "Hanging by a moment". Classics.

For the First Time is probably one of the songs that will be played in weddings for its very expressive lyrics. Not too corny, and the music video is quite cool too. And also, the lead singer is C-U-T-E! :P


Hopefully this song won't get overplayed on the radio (at least not soon).

Curse of the genetics lab

Every time I go to Genetics 211 lab, something UNFORTUNATE happens.

Last week, I almost set the lab on fire.

Today, I (sort of) caused my lab partner and I to screw up the whole second part of the experiment. Sort of translated to the lab demonstrator noticed that we were doing wrong and got us to repeat the experiment again, which I have to mention is very very tedious. I think the two girls sitting opposite me also did the experiment wrongly. Though I didn't tell them how to do (which is the wrong way), I still feel somewhat responsible. *shrugs*

Daniel Fast is coming up soon. The idea is to basically spend 21 days without something you find hard living without, and use the time to pray. I've been thinking about what to fast on, and I've decided to either (1) give up at least half an hour of my beauty sleep in the morning and spend it with God instead, (2) refrain from watching any movies and dramas, or (3) do both.

If all goes well and I'm determined enough to follow through, this will be my first official fast. =)

Bit and pieces

Dad is suddenly so pro about me learning the guitar. So much so that he's even asking me to buy one for myself, even when I said I can use my friend's guitar. They seemed pretty okay about me wanting an amplifier for Waszowski. =) Now all I have to do is to research on good amps.

Today a friend commented about the fact that because I wear a ring on the wedding finger on my right hand, it has to be either I'm engaged, or I'm taken. While the ring my mum gave me does look a bit like an engagement ring since it's made of white gold with a (possibly fake) diamond, many people assume that it is one. Then came the next comment, "Guys won't ask you out when they see a ring there, as they assume you're taken." And just after he says that, he pulls out his own engagement ring from his pocket, saying "Erm, I guess I should be wearing this then." *snicker*

Truth to be told, the only reason to why I wear it on that finger is because I have large fingers, and the ring wouldn't fit into my other fingers.

Dear Jason in Toowoomba, I thought you were doing quite well settling in there. Then my mum told me your brother said that you have been starving for the past 3 days. *jaw drops* Is the supermarket very far away? Or are you too afraid to buy anything after converting to ringgits? Hope that you get well soon. =)

I will be known as the bargain hunter from now on. I search high and low for under 5 dollar bargains for clothes on TradeMe, spending up to 2 hours a day browsing items. Have I gone mad? Or have I grown an addiction towards TradeMe?
