Semi-offline blog: 5:35 PM 4/25/03 - typed this in the library in blogger.com but somehow couldn’t upload it. decided to save it and try again later.
I’m feeling better this past few days…
But maybe not really… you see, i somehow realise that i’ve been having short term memory losses the past few weeks or so. or maybe it’s months… there was one time when my friend called me to ask me to pack his dinner. i was putting my bag in the dining hall of the boarding school, and was about to queue up to get my breakfast. and in the boarding school, if you want to have your dinner packed, you’ve to write down your name in the list provided near the serving area. and the next thing i know, i queued up, wrote my own name in the list, had my breakfast, and went off… whoops. but luckily he didn’t get angry or anything…
got scolded yesterday by my hallmaster, since he said my room was untidy. i told him that my friend and i (my friend being another person who got scolded) just came back, and went straight away for prep (aka. study time in some places). but he only replied “that means you never tidy up your room for the past 3 months, is it?” stupid him. the thing is that i put my things and rushed down after i came back only because i didn’t want to be scolded by him for coming down late.. so in other words my situation was something like if i didn’t tidy up, i would have been scolded for not tidying up, and if i did, i would have been scolded for coming late for prep… but i didn’t bring it up though, since i know it would be futile anyway.
but anyway, he told me that he didn’t want my water bottles to be put on my table. then i asked him where i should put my water bottles, in case i want to drink. then he answered to put them in the toilet. “others can, why can’t you?” or so he said. the thing is, ‘others’ also put their water bottles in the room. not on the table, maybe, but on, say, the dividers in the room. or on the bed. or somewhere. but putting the water bottles in the toilet?? what if suddenly i thirst at night? must i go to the toilet first before drinking?
oh yar, must mention also about my roommate, who apparently talked to the halltutors about our situation, and finally decided to move to another room. so he’ll be moving this weekend. it’s both good or bad. it’s good because it could ‘relieve my sufferings and also relieve his sufferings,’ to quote him. but the bad thing is that it only means that our relationship has been really bad. and that all the hall tutors know about this already.
oh well, but anyway, the week has been relatively good, i would say. at least compared to other weeks in the year…
oh, another thing is that the zip disk for spectra crashed 2 days ago, while i was making backup copy of the contents. was very pissed off. all the contents are basically gone. which means everyone in spectra must resubmit everything all over again… and the teacher wants the whole thing to be done and uploaded on the 9 may. dunno if we woule have time or not. got a few people to finally chip in their help though.
but still, i’m feeling better this past few days…
now, time to settle my $200 phone bill…
