What Annoys Me

Hair stuck inside the LCD screen.

Yes this happened to me today. I turned on my laptop, opened up the browser, and right there on the bottom right corner was this GODDAMN STRAND OF HAIR stuck between the LCD and the white light board and it stood out like a freakin 5 billion megawatt lightbulb against a black wall. And this would probably be the only time a single strand of hair would affect your behavior (yes i went mental over that). I hate crap on my screen. I like having it clean all the time, and seeing that hair stuck there was like the equivalent of sticking a needle into my eyeball. Eye piercingly horrible.

How'd i know it was hair and not a crack? Well if u tap the screen, it moves. Moved like a hair.

Anyways, i got it fixed by opening up my laptop back at home and taking the freaking screen out. BUT, i couldn't get to the hair. Sucks doesn't it? I settled for just shaking and tapping the damn thing till it went into the rightmost blackened corner where it doesn't light up. Yes, finally out of sight. Good riddance retard hair.

By god, I hope it doesn't come back to torture me..

Starbucks.

September 21, 07.

















Someone might recognize their finger ;)

And sadly, it was also the last time I saw mei in Starbucks. =( We all miss you!

Rwar.

Nothing interesting today.
The snowblob i made during winter has something to say however.
Sorry buddy, no food today.



See the new lil thing on the bottom left? That's a ninjaskimo, won't want to mess with that scary little thing would we?

(Spent an hour in total drawing, scanning, and editing it. Ended up with a really hyped up pic with reflections and all, but settled to cropping all that out... Oh well, minimalistic is nice, i guess.)

X Games Ticket

My friends and I were at Subway in Gubei Carrefour eating subs (well i wasn't but 2 of them were anyway) and then the cashier guy comes up to our table and hands all five of us these X Games tickets. So we're all like WOW that's awesome! but upon closer inspection, we realize that the event was on a Wednesday afternoon (damnit school, damnit!).

So yeah, i don't need it. If anyone wants it, leave a comment. Otherwise i'll just keep it.

Lousy pic now with my laptop's webcam, i'll scan it tomorrow. (EDIT - April 27: I got lazy..)

Sweet Fridays.

& the end of another week! Though i must say it's been quite relaxing for me. I skipped monday cause i was sick, and the rest of the week was just movies or free time and a little bit of class.

Might get braces off tomorrow, or that's what the dentist said anyway. Oh well, i hope he ain't kidding this time.

We'll see how the weekends go. Enjoy yours!

EDIT: April 26. Dentist jkjkjk'ed. Damnit.

The prawn went missing when i came back this afternoon. My brothers claim to have not seen it since last night. Something happened between 11pm - 7am. We haven't interrogated the ayi, but it seems she prepared prawns for dinner again today. Our victim may be among the sauteed.
RIP little prawn..

Prawns in the Bathroom

Okay so, pretty WTF moment in the bathroom today. I walk in and i see this bucket filled with water with a freakin prawn swimming around in it.

I guess it's a lucky prawn, saved from dinner by my brother. Bless him. Though i have no idea how the prawn will survive for long in a bucket..

When School Gets Boring

I'm not saying that i don't write on my desk and i'm not saying that i do either. But when i get bored...
























and when it rains and they stick out the Caution: Wet Floor signs

5 Stars

Now, in Shanghai, most taxi drivers have an ID card displayed on the passenger side of the front seats that show their ID numbers, picture, and a star rating of their 'performance' shall we say. Normally these star ratings range from two to three stars (from what i've seen anyway), but when i got into this taxi one Saturday afternoon, this was what i saw.

Looks like someone thinks this driver deserves 2 stars + 3 clearly hand-drawn in ink stars and a + luxury rating.
Very nice.



Also, Facebook has integrated an IM system, 'Facebook Chat', on the bottom right side of every page.
Now you can stalk all your friends and see when they go on facebook! Way to go.
Buuuuuuut, there's always a stay offline option to avoid that.
Then again, we have walls to post on already. hm.

Another Week

& yet another tiring weekend. With 4hrs of band practice on Saturday and 3hrs Sunday preparing for a performance we didn't get into (just cause the judges favored another group of people. 'tards.), a sleepover, and an asthma relapse, you could say I didn't exactly have it relaxed.
Anyways, I woke up in the middle of Sunday night to a coughing fit and a wheezing chest and i knew that the asthma had come back. Clutching my chest, I could almost see my inflamed respiratory passages lined with far too much mucus, air rushing through in tiny amounts as my lungs screamed for more oxygen while my body kept up with heavy breathing. After a rummage through the medicine cabinet and finding out that there was no Ventolin (it's an asthma relief puff), I started to get worried. Thankfully my mom came out at just the right time and handed me the drug, which I promptly administered to myself. And not a moment too soon, those air passages reopened, allowing a sound restful sleep--

Heck, how the hell did i manage to write like that.

Anyways,
I skipped school on Monday to visit the doctor and get more rest & sleep. Meh, when you're sick, you can skip anything.

On another note, our band saw the funniest thing while we were in a taxi. More on that later.

Error zzt, Say What?

Alright I want to update but -wait a minute- where's the OK button?!

Seems like my laptop shipped with next-gen batteries..

And from WoW... to WoW, may i ask what the heck is $d?!

An Introduction.

So, i've created another blog it seems. China has this very annoying censorship system that seems to go against me and block every single blog I use; xanga, wordpress, livejournal. You name it, i use it, it's blocked. It seems China won't be having a problem with blogspot as it's been available for quite a while now ever since it was unblocked. I am hoping it will stay like this and even more so that it won't be blocked again, at least not in my lifetime.

I curse the firewall and I curse the system, yet, it's the only thing I have. I guess i'll just have to live with it.
