there goes the weekend!

uh ok so i didn't do much work. nothing special. managed to watch Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children (or whatever they call it), all thanks to my lovely darling. xD well ok i enjoyed the show. cool. real cool.

so i slacked. my java applets are still screwed up. but at least i have this half-efforted fix. my IE is now using the IBM version of the Sun JRE version 1.4.2... which means it's an older version but works. just that it isn't working for my firefox. i'll just leave it at that for now.

about saturday
i couldn't really do much work anyway. did i mention that we had power outage on saturday?! apparently i forgot all about it. well ok so we did. it affected the whole freaking neighborhood! and we had food in the oven. beef rendang on the electric stove. :( it lasted for 1.5hrs. which was good, considering when we checked the automated outage notice phone number, they gave a 2hour estimate. so the sky was turning dark, and we just came back from grocery shopping, then jason decided to play on his PSP. and i gladly sat beside him and watch him do his neat moves on the dunno what game of his. nothing much else to do haha... we wanted to save battery power on our laptops just in case the outage dragged on too long. and no internet access because the router was dead. no food yet. i ate chips. yes before dinner!!! wahaha... so anyway after about 1.5hrs the lights came back on and we continued making dinner. the wind was ridiculous i'll tell you! it was blowing so wildly anyone could have heard it indoors. and that's probably why there was an outage. the automated voice mentioned about emergency repairs or something to that effect. at least power was restored! it was pretty exciting... at first. we weren't sure what happened. so the first thing we did was check our own power mains. nothing wrong. then i asked jason to check with his friend. nothing. then we decided to call up the whatever number we had for the power company (they're actually called Integral Energy) and that was the answer we got.

*when do i get to change my bed at home? xD*
