I got my laptop back!

That was fast. It was fixed within 24 hours. I got the call yesterday evening (but only heard it through voicemail last night). Even though it’s just replacing DVD-rom and that’s it, but still it’s fast. I remember this comp (my main comp) took 2 1/2 months just to replace the fucking graphic card that’s still under warranty. However they didn’t fix my Control Panel and Network folders which crashes everytime I try to open it, so I’ve burned the factory default setting disc and driver and application disc and currently doing the whole system backup image and then I’m gonna reformat the C drive, going back to the factory default setting.

I just realized something……..why the hell did I torture myself being without a dvd drive for roughly 5 months plus when I could’ve gotten it fixed within 24 hours? Man I’m such a fucking idiot…. Oh maybe because the stupid people in Ipoh where I bought the laptop at told me it’ll take 2 weeks… blah.

Getting the laptop was a fucking pain in the arse though! I was too lazy to go in the morning, and when we finally left, it was 4 pm - BAD IDEA! Obviously KL city would become the mother of all traffic jam hell. It wasn’t THAT bad though and managed to get to Times Square in about half an hour after being stuck in the jam. I hate Imbi road which is unfortunately connected to Star Hill road, the main traffic jam hell area. Then we went to eat first, then we went to pick up my laptop. Argh. You know what? They only have 2 guys to handle the customer, and get this.. there was roughly 5-10 customers.. not many right? But imagine each one of them takes at least 20-30 minutes to explain what’s happening to their laptop/monitor etc, then for the acer people to open up the system and checks etc… argh. I had to wait for so long just to pick up my laptop, and I didn’t bring my Nintendo DS argh. They should’ve opened more counters. Then mom and I went to Cold Storage.. lots of chocolates for christmas… too expensive though cuz they’re all imported :(

The journey back was the most painful. Extreme traffic jam.. and I was way too sleepy, I even drove OVER a divider/road partition cuz I couldn’t see, wtf. Took us like over an hour to reach home, bleh. Then had to go through ‘people jam’, as there were like more than 20-30 people trying to squeeze in for the 2 elevators which can only hold 11 people each. Arrrrrrrrrgh how come this apartment is overloaded with IMMIGRANTS arghhhhhhhhhhhh. Go back to your own country damn it. You have absolutely no idea how many of them here and how they behave until you see it yourself, then you’ll be pulling your hair in uber frustration like I am.

I’m going to go to college today to watch the performance rehearsal thingy for the showcase or something cuz I don’t have anything else better to do. Tomorrow is the showcase. Oh and Monday, I will go to SEGi’s Leadership Camp for 3 days 2 nights. Didn’t wanna join but they said it’s included in the fees so might as well make use of it… plus I wanna go so I can take a break from my life here… sorta like a short vacation thing since I can’t afford to go anywhere else. Not bringing any Nintendo DS, MP3 players or anything like that though.. I’m scared they will be lost.. I’ll try to take pictures though.

After I’m back from camp, I’ll be going back to Ipoh.

Ok, going to play with my Nintendo DS now, let my laptop backup the system and later go to college.

I miss my laptop already.

I sent my laptop to times square today. I decided not to go to the headquarter because

1) I don’t know the way and I’ll get lost
2) Still far, same as times square
3) Subang Jaya is the ‘grandpa’ of hellish traffic jams

So I decided to go to times square, I know the way there by heart and it’s easier. I spent whole morning backing up my important stuff, and my external hard drive is full now. Now just hope that my external drive don’t die on me, god forbid. I think I’ve backed up almost everything that’s important….

So i went there, went up to 9th floor, and took  a number.. each person takes quite a while with their problem x.x Finally when it was my turn, I got this malay guy, and I began explaining my problem. Luckily I’m still under warranty until next month but I asked about extending warranty for extra 2 years, and I’d need RM298 for it.. I’m still considering it. Where to dig up money though…hmm

That guy opened the bottom of my laptop and I see my fan is sorta discolored.. I guess it’s from the heat. The guy said I should turn on laptop for maximum 5 hours and then shut it off and I was like whaaaaa’? I didn’t know that! I usually turn it on for DAYS..no wait, I never turn it off..maybe like once in a week or so… ack. I’m shocked my laptop have not died yet because of that, thank god.

So my laptop will be ready in 3 - 5 days, hmm sooner than expected.. latest would be next week. I hope not next week. Too long. Hope not like my main comp, where it took them 2 fucking month, wtf. After that mom and I just walked and walked in the mall.. hate walking in a huge mall wearing heels lol. We got Viena Bagels and I think mom and I finished half of the plates they put out for testing haha.. damn the bagels are SO DAMN GOOD. Better than Dunkin Donuts or Big Apple but quite expensive..but hey, H told me to spend his money on food and I did :P

Then we had subway sandwich..finally :D! Been so long. I need to do something now.. I hate sitting in this chair, blah. I miss surfing the web lying down on the bed…

PS: I just paid my domain registration (not hosting), and I had forgotten that I have USD$10 in my hosting account left..which is the balance from some amount Aaron gave me long ago.. yay I didn’t have to spend my money ^^ lol.

This one week sucked. I spent doing nothing but sleep during the daytime and awake during the night.

I’ve done nothing to lose my weight. I haven’t even cleaned my room as planned. But mostly weight loss. I don’t want to go back to Ipoh and H see me as super fat after 10 months, lol. I’ve never been this fat when I was around him before or his cousin. Talked to his cousin B on the phone few days ago.. it’s been a while.. he sounded all grown up! lol. No money to get diet pill, plus not even sure if it’ll work. Speaking of money, H called me earlier confirming that RM50 will be sent to me tomorrow, yay. Another DotA tournament that is.. hehe. Not much though but it helps. I feel bad cuz I just found out how much he has to spend investing on his new tuition centre every month, and how tight he is on money, but yet he still wanted to send me some to help, if he has extra that is.

I have to send my laptop for repair tomorrow, so tonight I have to backup all my stuff. Not sure where to put 200GB worth of stuff…. H was suggesting external HD, he even offered to help with some of the money, but he didn’t know they’re damn expensive. If only I have RM500-RM600 right now, I’d get 1TB external hard drive… I want one badly.

Yesterday, Aaron took a pic of DS Lite skin sticker he bought for me, kawaii!

Okay, gotta back up my laptop now. I hope it’ll be fixed before I have to go back to Ipoh. I’m gonna miss my laptop :( But it’s better to get this damn DVD drive fixed before the warranty expires… wait, I think it still has warranty… it better!

Well I”m back to being broke.

On Thursday, I decided to go out instead of sleeping for the whole day. I wasn’t feeling well that day, felt like I wanted to puke. Maybe it was because I was playing GUITAR ROCK TOUR on DS for like more than 4 hours nonstop (until I beat the medium mode) so I felt sick. So for lunch, I decided to treat mom to Oldtown White Coffee with the money H gave me. Then I decided to go to Midvalley Megamall to look for stuff… even though I was sleepy as hell.

So in midvalley, I bought a crystal casing (with mario printed on it, fake one though x.x) and a mario touch pen so my fingers won’t be in pain after holding the stylus for a long time. Then I bought some drinks, new earphone for my DS, plus petrol money -wham! RM100 bucks gone in just a day x.x

Now I need money to buy clothes and shoes… blah.

Oh I met my friend in midvalley :D She was in the drama club and we performed for the prom nite last year XD She graduated and was working part time there, and will begin her full time job this Monday I think.. mehhh…. :D

I really gotta fix my sleeping pattern!

I’ve been sleeping whole day, and awake all night.

So that ruins my plan to go shopping. Anyways. I’ve been so addicted to music/rhythm game on the Nintendo DS Lite. I’m so tempted to buy the guitar grip so I can play Guitar Hero… but I’m scared I’d be ruining the touch screen.. it’s already on heavy pressure from me playing Taiko no Tatsujin. I tried Alvin & the chipmunk game and the hard level is soooo easy.. the graphic kinda sucks…the touch recognition isn’t so good..Oh I love Rhythm Tengoku Gold, it’s so random like WarioWare: Touched!

I’m so craving for lots of fattening foods right now. I don’t know… my fingers are itching to spend the money H gave me and splurge it on FOOOOOOOOD. I better not sleep during the day again today so I can go out and get some food lol Oh and survey the price for a new casing for my DS. And a new earphone.

Oh I better remember to pay for my domain before it expires on the 18th.

Okay going to watch TRAILER PARK BOYS: THE MOVIE now and try to enjoy it…it’s kinda not funny because they censored it.

Sleeping pattern is screwed.

I fell asleep at 8 am, only to wake up at 9.15 am to talk to H (my ex) cuz he was going for a DotA game tournament today partly for my sake so he wanted to talk to me and hear words of encouragement. At the same time, I asked Jackie about today’s internship briefing and he didn’t know about it… lucky I told him.

So then I went for the briefing. My friend has already gotten a job O.o That’s fast! We’ve just finished the semester. I’ll take this 2 months to completely rest, enjoy, at the same time research on the companies and in January, dun dun– INTERNSHIP *insert scary voice*

I’m sorta looking forward to it, sorta not.. I’m excited to work yet I don’t know if I’m gonna be facing work politics, assholes, mental and physical abuse/exhaustion which is what my lecturer described.. oh not to mention, long odd working hours. I read this one blog about this girl’s internship with 8TV (a local tv station) and it was hardcore! So I’m nervous.

But yeah, we’re required to come back on 5th of January, for 2 weeks, to complete documents, go for interviews and stuff.. official internship date - January 19th 2009 and it goes on for 3 months. Should be interesting.

One thing made me happy today is that H won the DotA game tournament and he of course, like his usual self, splitting the money with me.. yay! I’m RM130 bucks richer… he’ll bank it in tomorrow cuz he went to the bank today and it was closed… good timing too cuz I need money for fuel, food and Nintendo DS Lite accessories, lol.. oh, plus H’s christmas present which he keeps hinting to me lol. I love money :) Don’t you?

Me and H just get along great being friends rather than you know, having a relationship.. I don’t know why…  not sure for how long this time before old bad habits come back to either one of us… I hope not. No more depression…

PS: Early this morning I’ve been watching nasty, gross stuff on  youtube like people getting ingrown toenail surgery, popping zit and cyst and shit like that.. sometimes I question my own level of curiosity……… and why the fuck I’m interested in weird, abnormal stuff lol

I watched DANCE OF THE DEAD couple of hours ago.

It was better than expected considering the fact that it’s a low budget zombie movie and usually low budget horror movies would suck SO BAD. Obviously with zombie movies, there’s nothing new… predictable plot that we’ve seen lots of times before but as usual I love kicking zombies ass action so it’s all good. The only thing is that the blood looks obviously fake.. lol. And the first half is just talk talk talk.. Zombie movies shouldn’t have much talk - just lots and lots of action! But it’s a good movie with nice homage to Night of the Living Dead.. plus even the losers and nerds look cute. Good effects too.

I’ve been feeling depressed during the weekend and extremely lazy. I think it’s because I used to be so busy, and my head is always thinking of doing work and trying to get an A, and now that I’m actually finished for the year and has nothing to do for 2 months, I feel so weird. I’m so used to a week holiday, and I always complain about the ’shortness’ of it, but 2 months man… I’ve got so much things planned yet I don’t have the mood to do them.

I’ll get better…. I hope. And I feel very lonely.

Anyways. I so want a hard cover/casing thing for my Nintendo DS Lite, a transparent one maybe… if I can’t find a nice one.. I’d order from renchi.com, but ummm.. maybe I’ll settle for a transparent one first so I can decorate it with sticker or something. Need a new cute stylus too.. I have briefing today at college, so maybe after that I’ll stop at Cineleisure and check out the game store and see if they have anything…maybe. I want to go to midvalley’s nintendo store but it’s quite far…I should go back to digital mall too…

Bleh.

I so need a vacation.. the usual plan? Go to las vegas, win lots of cash then travel around the world.. Yeah.

MM Tootsie Roll is actually not bad. I decided to buy it yesterday at Ikano, since Ikano’s the only place where you can find imports not available anywhere else in Malaysia.

Anyways, me and my ex decided to call it truce and be friends again last week. He suddenly messaged me on MSN and I was so surprised.. cuz you know.. it’s been 10 months… anyways, I learned that forgiving is better, and my life would get better just like how I forgave my classmate and so I forgave him. He’s changed a lot. More understanding this time. He even encouraged me in studying and going through my exam, which is something he’s rarely ever done before.

To top it all off, he surprised me with RM100 last Wednesday by banking it into my card account so I could spend it on whatever yummy food I’m craving for, he said. :) How nice of him, especially since he’s also kinda tight on financial, having invested them on his own tuition center but he spared me some..

Anyways…

I watched QUARANTINE 2 days ago I think… it was ok. I mean, it’s sorta like a blair witch project kind of movie, where they film the event and people finds the footage sort of thing. It’s not really THAT scary cuz you could barely see the zombie/infected people’s faces clearly because of the shaky handheld cam but there are some ’shock’ moment. I’m probably going to watch Dance of the Dead tonight.

Oh yeah, I haven’t blogged about my last class for Film Appreciation.. haha it was fun cuz we watched ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.. and I was like silently doing time warp dance in front (I was sitting on the floor). I hate this one girl who kept turning off the aircond… like she owns it. If Mr Eddie was there, he would not let that happen… he would’ve told the girl to ASK the class first if we wanted to turn off the aircond. Bitch. If you’re too cold, move to the back… geez. But it’s funny how people keep turning back the aircond after she turns it off lol.

I wanted to do the makeup like Dr Frank-n-Furter with Skyler, but I arrived too late :( Also, we got to know our marks… I got 36/40 for all 5 movement movies analysis… and 86/100 for my movie analysis essay assignment… my friends got like 91 or something and i was sooooooo pissed. It’s because I didn’t deserve it! I was so stupid, I forgot the credit part and bam! 5 marks gone! I would’ve gotten 91 too.. GRRRRR… even though I got “excellent work” remark on my paper.. Grrrrrrr.. SO pissed.

Anyways. Going to watch something now.

I finally fucking watched High School Musical 3!

It was awesome.

Fucking awesome.

Camp Rock needs to learn from HSM 3 because wtf, they claimed to be the best musical movie yet after HSM (and claimed to be better than HSM), and yet it turned out shittier beyond words? It’s only a hit because of Jonas Brothers. It fucking sucks like you have no idea… everytime I watch Camp Rock, I feel like killing a hobo. Please, no more Camp Rock. No more Jonas Brothers.

HSM 3 was fucking awesome. This time you could definitely see the strong chemistry between Gabriella and Troy because they’re offscreen couple too. What I like is that people in the movie breaks into song and dancing every 5 minutes, with extremely complicated choreography and extremely catchy and upbeat songs and oh so colorful set. It was awesome. I wasn’t bored at all, and didn’t realize the movie went on for 2 hours… didn’t feel like it. That means I was enjoying every minute of it. Camp Rock, please learn from HSM 3 before even calling the movie a ‘musical’ because there was absolutely nothing so musical about it except for a couple of songs, with the cast flailing their arms and flapping like a bird… which looks so ridiculously retarded. Sorry Demi Lovato.

Time to download the whole album. I absolutely love the catchy upbeat songs. Maybe I’ll download the movie too. Yeah… I wonder if cinema copy is watchable enough… I’m so getting the DVD when it comes out. No wait, I”ll just download the DVD ripped copy. Nevermind. Hmm unless it has special features worth spending money on…

After the movie, Skyler and I went  back to Ikano (we watched it at Cineleisure) and relaxed at Starbucks. You see, she has a friend working there, so she’d get free frap drink… so I wanted to buy one and she asked the guy to give me the 30% staff discount and turned out he gave it to me for free, woot. My first free Starbucks frappucino. After relaxing, we went up, and we went to the pet store and were looking at some creepy crawlies and really freaking cute hamsters and bunnies. Then we went shopping at Cold Storage. We went to Shihlin snack stall to buy snack and then to IKEA for the cheapest thing that we could find so that we don’t have to pay for parking - we each got ourselves a mug for RM2.50.

Then back to Starbucks. She got another free frap lol. We relaxed, played with DS… then went back home at almost 10 pm. So freaking tired now. I’m going to watch a movie now. Later.
