gee

i'm going nuts with this database thing!!! here's what happened this afternoon... i had done some updating to my lappy and had to reboot. and when i was done rebooting, OMFG! my settings i had done last night were all gone dammit! it took me hours to figure what in the world was wrong. *panic* i didn't do screenshot when it was successful last night. so i *had* to solve this problem.

ok end result was i did. took some tweaking after i got down n dirty.

it hit me what i'm doing. i was looking thru my posts in this blog.

i used to do it when i was younger.

i kept a diary initially, writing my daily thoughts, filling in the occasional gossip i heard in school etc... then as the days passed my records grew monotonous. day in day out it was all about schoolling, going to school, having lessons... blah. i was recording what i did that day in my diary. i suppose you could say, the diary was no longer a diary. it had turned into an event log. i don't know why i was turning that way. perhaps i was worried i would one day get amnesia and forget all that i had done, so that when i read the log, i would know what i did. well maybe if i turn forgetful that is. like do i need to go school on sunday or something like that.

my point is...

i think i'm repeating myself. i think i'm repeating myself. no not that kind of repeating.

my new diary being this blog, has in many aspects, turned into an activity log. yes once again i am reporting to the blog what i do daily. only difference this time is there're people reading too. not that it really matters in that aspect.

some other blogs i know of are similar with regards to the activity log too, but i shan't point out whose. in retrospect, i think a diary should not be just about recording what was done. rather the feelings and emotions a person experiences throughout the day. happiness and sadness. ups and downs. so perhaps i should gain a better understanding of this reasoning and realign myself to relate more of what goes on in my heart than what goes on in my daily life. but of course i must admit, being male, i'd probably tend to conveniently rationalise things. so this might take a while.

gawd i rant a lot.

right. so down to the business proper.

i feel much cleaner now. the bedsheets were washed after i woke up. XD not forgetting some parts were still rather damp so we collected them and i placed mine over the lamp shades in my room. HAHAHA... that's one technique i learnt from my parents whilst on overseas holidays at hotel rooms. *snicker* it's only pillow cases lah nothing unmentionable. and not forgetting that i vac-ed the house too! to think i actually bothered to even do any sort of cleaning here leh. and i flamed a few spider webs as well as "spider control"-ed a few spiders in the backyard. i wouldn't call it a sense of achievement but pest control seems lacking here. i feel insecure when there're too many small invertebrates near me.

hrmm and i don't think it's meant to be enjoyable, but... i killed another spider. this time round with sufficient firepower, i sprayed the spider control on it, then flame it. it's currently curled up in one corner of the window sill in the toilet. and dead. it's of the similar family from the previous one! eek. scare leh... imagine it running along while one of us took a shower. then imagine it's me. censor off the naked parts. now try hearing me shriek like a little girl who saw a giant moth fly towards her. *cue scary music*

so currently yes i'm pretty much satisfied with the assignment A. but i'm drop dead anxious about the one due on thursday. reason being i barely typed 5 rows of text in word for it. and it's meant to be a 1500 word essay. i'm hoping i won't be killed by the fact that this subject is all theoretical. which i believe actually is. -sigh sigh-

and oh lordy, 2wks from now is a week-long holiday. yeah they call it mid-session break. gawd time flies... it's close to week 4 of uni life already... and i've been here for a month! and i still hardly touched the 1500... gahhhh must stop thinking about that... ok i shan't.

you probably thinking if only this idiot blogs lesser and puts in the same amount of time into the 1500 he'd be able to finish it in an hour. i wish i could. blogging just gives me space for my verbal diarrhoea. this 1500 word essay requires me to read up here and there to link references from which i quote. so it'll be a bit more challenging than blogging. and less informal too mind you. don't expect to see swearing and singlish in the essay. haha... and you probably noticed by now my english in here is a bit more proper than before. i've decided to work on this. at least it can improve my standards slightly. not that i have a vast array of vocabulary to apply it on. but it's worth a try to keep my dignity standing. heh...

right better stop ranting for haircuts. i'm keeping my fingers crossed that i can get my haircut settled tomorrow. it might help me to think better for my 1500...

*can you picture what might happen if xiaohui hump xiaohei?*
