Last Thirty-Five Hours…

Wednesday, July 14th, 2004

Dear Diary,

Let’s see… Five days after I last updated Windows, I already have to install FIVE more critical security updates from Microsoft’s Windows Update. Well done.

The rest of this entry has nothing to do with Microsoft. Enough bitching already.

B*tt-plug?

Dear Diary,

This is a prank call made by someone who asks for that thing to a customer service/hardware support (probably from an automotive company). It has been recreated as a Flash presentation. I pity the customer service/hardware support officers… :P

Me,

Coming Back…

Saturday, July 10th, 2004

Dear Diary,

I‘ll be going back on 15 July on the flight GA 826 arriving at Singapore’s Changi Airport at 2 PM. I’ll be coming with Udo, and will be (somewhat) rushing to NTU to settle all the stuff that need settling. Since the flight is scheduled to arrive at 2 PM, and Garuda Indonesia is notorious for delaying its flights, we’d need to rush to NTU to beat the Office of Admission’s 4.30 PM closing hour.

I’ll be using the same contact number I used while in JC (disregard the number I gave in March when I went back to collect the ‘A’ Level results). The number is the one printed on the class contact list. In case you’re still blur, it’s the one which goes like 91913xxx. (E-mail me or leave a comment for the full contact number) I’ll try to find a way or the other to catch up with you all one day. :)

Over and Out,

Argh!

Dear Diary,

I‘m tired. Really.

The past few days have been frustrating. Really.

I’ve trusted this company so much, but in the end I felt so betrayed.

Did You Vote Today?

Monday, July 5th, 2004

Dear Diary,

I didn’t. Today was supposed to be the voting day for President-and-Vice-President pair for Indonesia. I told you in an earlier entry that I went to vote in the General Elections. That was for members of the Parliament.

I have to admit that I don’t know much about the candidate pairs. Ok, I know a little bit about Megawati or Wiranto or Dr. Amien Rais, but I know almost nothing about Jusuf Kalla or Salahuddin Wahid or Agum Gumelar or Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (avidly known as SBY). Not watching the news often and being away from the country for quite long didn’t help much either.

So rather than voting for someone I don’t know or giving the vote counters more work by submitting an empty vote, I decided not to vote altogether.

By the way… Girls, do you think this guy is handsome? He’s SBY, one of the President candidates. And many people seem to think he is handsome. I don’t know how to measure the handsomeness of a guy.

Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono

Sunday, July 4th, 2004

Dear Diary,

So, what does school have anything to do with AFI, which I talked about long time ago?
