caution: long entry!
i went to han’s bday party last week. seems like hers would be the last 21st birthday party i would attend for this year, thank goddess. unless i know someone who is younger than me and am close to that someone, han’s party would be the last one i would attend in my life. unless i have kids. or my sibs have kids. or my cousins hv kids. oh wth watever!
rz asked me, what’s the fascination we cedar gals have with vs boys? beats me man. i told him it’s cos we’re not into cat high guy haha. i guess it’s cos vs and cedar were unofficially sis-bro schs. yea one of those rubbish you engage in when you’re young and stupid. i liked my sec sch days. tho there are some things i won’t wanna rem haha. like when xn intro me to km and the gang, and km asked whether we chatted online b4. haha i don’t rem talkin to him and i don’t wanna rem man. not tt i care anyway since km is juz an acquaintance to me. and i aso dun wanna rem my young despo days. wahaha. not tt i’m not despo now but that’s not the pt. i dun want to rem my irc days either. haha man dat was so darn long ago! it seems almost foolishly immature, and hilarious, now how i used to enjoy chatting on irc/icq so much.
comparing betwn the vs gang and the other motley gang made up of guys from dunno which sec sch, man i would choose the vs gang anytime. ok it’s not the endless fascination tt i have with vs guys ok. it’s juz tt when you put 2 grps of guys together, a gal instinctively knows which ones can protect her and which can’t. even if xn were to say tt the vs boys were more comfy, hence more loud and boisterous, thus mkin the other group seem quieter, i still don’t agree. how do i explain it? the vs dudes were technically also in a strange environment mah..except tt mebbe there are more of them? oh well i guess it’s also cos of their build. and something abt them tt screams testosterone as compared to the other ‘pansy’ group. ok i’m being mean. and goodness knows why i’m talkin abt this. i juz find it very funny that’s all, that i would instantly gravitate towards the vs grp. mebbe cos i know them betta den the other grp, and i trust them more.
luckily xn managed to help me get a ride (halfway) home. we packed into yang’s car, and i told him to drop me off at NY. funny tho, i haven’t been there in ages, and i dun even rem the buses that go tt way alrdy! i kept thinkin i wld have a str bus back from dere, so he dropped me at the big main rd with the big bus stop. den i realised dat there wasn’t a direct bus, and i tot mebbe i would hv to walk into the smaller road and tk the str bus from the busstop dere. so i happily crossed the overhead bridge and walked to the smaller road and busstop. oh man, the memories. wonder who remembers tt smelly coffeeshop? the one where, if u dun feel like eating sucky canteen food, and u’re on yr way home, u decide to stop there for some hawker food? the one where if u sit dere for just 5 mins, or just walk past, u would stink to kingdom come the moment u leave that place becos of the lousy ventilation it has? yes i walked past tt very coffeeshop to get to the smaller busstop. and promptly realised tt there was no str bus home. i got confused again. so no choice had to tk one bus and change later. how silly. oh yea, and when i was there, i suddenly remembered abt my little cat. was it a kitten or a grown cat i can’t rem now. but i do rem that i used to feed it everyday, with milk that i would buy from the provision shop opposite the busstop, from this fairly plump woman with curly hair and a sense of humour and was very nice. wonder what happened to her now?
work this week was ok. betta than my first week. i just keep praying that it would get better and better as time passes. went to client’s place on monday, and they were very nice. and it was fun. i like gg out of office. and at least the stuff i was doin for tt client was something tt i understood betta den the computer stuff. was out again on tues, at another client, tho it was a rushed job. juz go in and come out. (gosh sounds like i’m describing something else. ok fine i think i’m juz horny). anw ya it was juz a one day job. and i spent the rest of the wk in the office. i thought i could go to another client, but too bad client was out of town. grrr. stuck in boring office. i love gg out; it’s the freedom and excitement of gg to a (new) client’s place to investigate new stuff.
tues was like how shiok. was at client’s plc and finished quite early. i asked my snr whether got anythin for me to do; she told me to juz sit back, relax and prep to go home. and on thurs, i asked another snr whether got any work for me; he told me to juz relax aso. haha darn cannot lah. if i can surf and chat and relax, den no problemo man. but if i gotta spend the time tryin to look busy and read relevant stuff, how boring. no choice. and besides, i like doing stuff too, cos tt means tt i would be learning something.
guess what i’m learnin this wk? unix, and linux. gosh how fun is tt? straw poll: who has heard of it? my snr gave me a crash course (one of the many i’ve had so far) in the os. basically unix is an operating system, juz like another Windows. i learnt the brief history, how it came abt and stuff, the commands, the different drives/directories. oh man, my favourite – i learnt the binary system! like how fun is tt man. :whatever: files in unix have permissions, and the permissions can be expressed in a ‘number’ format. so i had to learn the binary sys to understand the ‘number’ permissions. but my another snr taught me another way – the “2 to the power of” way, which was easier to understand, and faster to calculate. yes do you not think my job is fun?
i wanna dl my own copy of unix and muck around with it, but i dun think my dear lappie has enuf memory space to store. 6 gig file man. and i dun have a separate hard disk either. growl. too bad; i thought it was pretty fun to toggle betwn the 2 OS.
fri was cool cos it was half day!! hallelujah!! basically din do much work in the morning, cos i finished my stuff the day before and my snr had nothin for me. he told me to relax haha. i had another mini training session from my senior; talked crap with my colleagues; then lunch! free lunch k! so yummy! i’m happy to report that i’m becoming a little more social. i talked a bit more this week; hopefully it will be betta as the weeks go by. oh well, hard to say. sometimes i duno wat to say; smtimes they dunno wat to say so we juz stare at any other ppl/place except each other.
met cw along the corridor one of the days this wk and he asked me how’s my work. complained to him abt the difficulty. i think he was a little shocked at what i was learning as well. den he told me, “aiya nvm, at least at the end of my attachment, i can be IT guru. or goondu. dat remains to be seen.” idiot. forever suanin me everytime i see him. and depending on his mood, he may also throw funny corporate tax questions at me. harlow, there’s a reason why i nv wanna consider corp tax k – it’s cos i dunno and dun like!!
results for this sem are out. actually i got the unofficial grades quite some time ago alrdy; i juz wanted to wait and see my official gpa. well my term gpa is extremely high this sem, the highest i’ve had in my whole uni life. sigh. how i wish. but my overall gpa still falls short of my target! wtf. i’m nv gonna reach honours in this case. oh shit. 4 yrs but only degree. 4 yrs and nothing to show for the extra one yr. the only reason why i did so well this sem cos the modules were talk cock modules, and i was lucky. i’m not gonna be so lucky next sem – nxt sem modules are very technical/number-based. i sure cannot mk it. i only hope my gpa can go up a little bit. no need to jump over mountains and oceans; i wld be happy if i can juz maintain it.
actually hor, i think i shld juz slack my sem away and pia only towards the exams. ok yes i’ve done this b4 and regretted during the study break man. but really, i think it works. like corp reporting last sem. i pia at the beginning and middle, so hardworkin k. but in the end i became complacent and slacked off, so overall grade sucky. for subj like coy law and ipr, i slacked all the way thru the sem and started panicking only towards the end, and i got A and A- respectively. geez i shld juz slack den pia. mebbe i would get betta grades. and bcos this sem so talk cock, i reallie enjoyed it. sigh. i’m still wondering what i’m doin in this faculty.
