Brrr.

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Yay for being allergic to the cold! …Clearly not. I skipped YAA yesterday because I really didn’t want to be in Accenture’s horrifyingly air conditioned meeting room at 6pm >_> Cold makes you hibernate, not meditate! Well, actually, it could. Both are forms of sleep, even if meditation should produce more ideas xD Of course, I may have primarily skipped because I didn’t want to present my product idea. Pftt. [and also because I may or may not have had an exam, though who wants to know about thaaat?]

Clearly, USB Wristbands, as gimmicky as they are, are for the win~ So who the heck wants personalised friggin’ jigsaws? Especially when you have flickr and photobucket to compete with? Let’s not forget to mention any Australian competitors too. Fear of speaking in front of people? Perhaps, but I’ll get over it. Although.. granted, this semester, I’ve had no presentations =D =D

But yes, over the last two days, I have developed something that could only be considered an allergy to the cold. It is not quite normal when one’s hands and ears start hurting and itching when exposed to somewhat cold things such as cold water or cold air in general. Not a good thing when the temperatures have dropped just recently.

Ah breakfast time. Z_Z Ja ne, Minna-san!

..And I am capped. So any replies to anything that I ought to do are postponed, and most likely until I get uncapped because my laptop battery only has 9 hours of life :/ And I need them for my lectures not using the uni’s internet which is probably monitored.

I’ll send everything eventually, but for now, to assignmenting and exam-cramming.

Video Conversion

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

My mum has heaps of old video tapes, and by heaps, I mean heaps! They all fill up whole cupboards and I’ve been looking for space :x Even the number of dvds I have in number is pretty crazy but I have much much more in the form of video tapes. Thus I wouldn’t mind if I could convert all the 8mm film to DVD Now.

Now with me, I never watch tv. In fact, I kind of have some tv-hate unless its the good ol’ Simpsons or other lovely cartoons. If I want to watch something, there’s the computer for anime. Haha. But Mother’s Day is nearing soon and it’s sometime in the middle of next month, so I want to do something specially for my mum and perhaps, convert those video tapes. Film transfer seems quite possible but I’m rather worried about the quality.
However, it seems that Video Conversion Experts can actually restore the quality to an even better state, which would be awesome since… well, the tapes have always shook quite a bit, my mum has watched it over and over heaps, and so forth. Heck, I think with some, the volume’s even inaudible. Thankfully, it seems all fixable. I also have a few other tapes that could do with conversion like the 16mm film to DVD and best of all, prices are something like 29.7c for a foot of tape. Now keeping in mind I have like about… 300 tapes :x and I’m not quite sure how long they are, it’ll take a little while to count… sigh

I don’t know how I am going to survive the next month..

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

There is just so much to do. :/
4 assignments, several exams, heaps of readings and homework…

and now? I’ve joined way too many things that I am really uncertain how I’ll find time to handle them.
Volunteering for the Career Expo [least that's done], Notetaking, SIFE club, YAA, editing the international cookbook, and now? ASPIRE, which I really don’t feel like doing anymore but I can hardly quit that.. :/

Oh and my mp3 player just bricked itself. Just friggin’ great. Think I can fix it when I find my ubuntu cd. If not, way to set me back even more hours of time.

I need time. And it won’t be until my birthday that I’ll get any. And by then I’ll have to study for the finals.

Oh I suppose I could give up on sleep. But I’m actually getting a full 7 hours of sleep now. So hell no.

Just one more month ay? Live life from day to day.

Back to homework. I could have gotten it done by now..
