bad day

Author: JT   |  Apr 10th, 2008

was supposed to have 2 practical driving lessons today but i woke up only around 12pm,

my first lesson was at 12.20pm and there was no way i could reach there in 20 minutes.

feeling sad over the money wasted, i decided to cancel the 2nd lessons and laze at home the whole day.

it was only then that i realised i had over 10 miss calls and 6 smses.

i was supposed to pass thomas’ laptop to his brother’s friend who came along in the morning but i just couldn’t wake up.

damn!

sorry guys!

i think with the luck i have today, it’s better for me to stay indoors just in case something worse happens.

final fantasy tactics

Author: JT   |  Apr 10th, 2008

was longing badly for fire emblem every time i’m out so aaron suggested i play ff : tactics on my psp to keep myself entertained since the game play was almost the same.

came home and decided to give it a try, was quite surprised the file was only around 200mb when compressed which means downloading it was short and sweet.

it was already quite late but decided to give it a go anyway,

conclusion,

i know it’s a remake from gba to psp but still, its life span being played on my psp will be the same 5 minutes i used for testing the game out.

watermark-ed

Author: JT   |  Apr 10th, 2008

i’ll be watermarking all pictures loaded to my blog from now on, every single one.

it seems that someone is stealing some of my pictures for other purposes.

you know who you are…

ie8?

Author: JT   |  Apr 10th, 2008

just downloaded and installed the beta version of internet explorer 8 (ie8).

i don’t usually install betas but since i seldom use ie, i decided to give it a try.

nothing much has been changed on the interface, looks and works just the same as ie7.

browsing seems to take even longer than ie7 (which was already the slowest amount all my browsers) and they seem to look different,

for my blog at least…

my blog looks normal on ie6/7 but looks really ugly on ie8,

i shall be a himbo (a male version of bimbo) like xiaxue and start hurling nonsensical abuses at ie8, microsoft, bill gates and everyone that uses microsoft products.

or not!

singapore’s blog queen tio 0wn3d!

Author: JT   |  Apr 10th, 2008

was reading ping.sg’s top 10 when i came across this blog post.

story is about a review xiaxue did on both a fake and real iphone on her personal tv show.

apparently one of the huge geek sites got hold of the video and posted it up on their web,

and guess what…she got badly flamed with hilarious comments like…

“i stopped the video <1/2 of the way through cuz i was about to kung pow my monitor straight to singapore…”

“I watched this video by turning off the sound, and I cudn’t bear her weird smile while handling the fake iPhone. Ewwwwwwwwwwww”

“Remind me never to travel to Singapore. My thoughts of that country have been tainted forever. How can ANYONE stand to listen to this half-wit for more than 30 seconds? She’s not clever, cute, or smart. She’s just painfully obnoxious. I demand the last 2 minutes of my life back!”

“She is the Malayasian Paris Hilton with the superficial and lazy view of everything.”

gee, malaysian???

“This bitch is annoying as all hell, but you gotta admit that it’s funny. Watching her gimp about the iPhone screen because she had fucked up talons was pure gold.”

“God I want to kill her eyelashes.”

i couldn’t help laughing my ass off reading the comments.

here’s the post with all the comments.

enjoy!

house warming cum farewell dinner

Author: JT   |  Apr 10th, 2008

dinner was supposed to be at malcolm’s new place at 7.30pm but it was already 9pm when i got there,

alighted at the wrong bus stop and had to walk a distant on my bad leg.

was starving when i got there but realised most of the food have already been eaten up,

still managed to get a few tiny pieces of chicken and some home made icecream.

not everyone was invited thought, only the ones closer to one another,

joe, merly, terry & girlfriend, johnson, chris, me and of course the hosts malcolm and his boyfriend harry.

out of the 7 of us who were working together, only johnson, chris and malcolm were still in the company but this week is johnson’s last week and malcolm is on 6 weeks hospital leave,

chris is also leaving after his wedding in june.

everyone seems to have problems with tony, kenneth and warren…oh and kenneth got promoted to senior.

not an unexpected move seeing how he has been gearing up for that hot seat but i think he did quite a bit of wrong moves,

being promoted with little or no support from your fellow colleagues is gonna be hell and he probably is going through that now.

gossiped about the good old days as well as the hellish days in office nowadays with the replacement of 2 temp staffs with every 1 perm staff leaving, sounds crappy to me.

went back together at about 10.45pm and met aaron at lakeside mrt for supper.

he was on his way back from the east and since i was also on the way back, we met up for a while.

wanted to stay longer but he made arrangement with his gay friend for another round of supper so couldn’t keep me accompany for long.

lol!

just kidding!

i was supposed to tag along for the 2nd supper but backed out last minute, my mind was too focused on fire emblem.

i can just feel the characters calling out to me…

pictures of the dinner will be posted once i get them from meryl.
