Around the web in capped minus days.

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Lifehacker Australia seems to have changed in primary bloggers. Which is rather expected but… have to say, that was fast. Or perhaps I am just slow on the uptake, or rather, internet.
Whether the new blogger is any more interesting, one shall have to see.
… Well, once uncapped =_=” Just 11 more hours. Haha.

I’ve never realised how far behind AMD was in the processor race against Intel in benchmarks. Granted, I thought AMD was still in the Athlon stage since that was the first processor Tina mentioned to me xD cough… but Phenom still gets pwned by Penryn. MSY is.. questionable though. A prebuilt desktop from there? … Speaking of that place, Crispin is on one of the wanted posters for theft. snorts Very bright. clap Just like setting off a fire alarm for smoking in toilets and getting suspended. Idiot.

It is rather odd that my site still loads rather quickly even when capped. I wish I could say the same about Colleen’s site. But I suppose it is a good thing it loads quickly. I can blog away because this monotony of slow internet …without my homework which I believe I should panic about because I rather need now… haha… is basically the only thing that loads. I suppose I should be glad it is optimised well? xD Makes for one boring existence though. I have Despair turned off at the moment so no notifications on that end. Not that it would load. Nor does myspace, bebo or facebook. Not that I visit the former two all that much anymore. Why do I get the feeling that a bunch of facebookers probably think I am avoiding them, especially when I don’t even tend to turn up to meetings anymore? But it isn’t the case. >_< It’s just a mega clash. What gives moving the meeting off to 5-7pm? I could have…came late/left early at the 4-6pm time next semester. This new time just plain clashes >_> Well.. Unless I run around on Wednesdays and thus go to the earlier psychology lecture. Blahh. If that’s the case, I hope people save me a seat. Bleh. Keith Burrows apparently smells like a sewer this semester. …. Enough real life. My life isn’t particularly interesting.

Even msn is starting to mess up based on the internet, rather than my computer since both my desktop and laptop are being rather unagreeable. Key ports? Not key enough if Hellstra wants to block them.

Or is this a sign that I should work on this site more? :P This theme has been up for over a year after all. Perhaps that will be something to do during winter break.

There is such a disparity between Core-fusion normal forums and core-fusion’s staff board. For one, Tim’s potty mouth is very evident =P Of course, that is still present in the visible sections too! Tsk tsk. Being such a great example there. But then again, I don’t think I am the greatest moderator/administrator either. Not anymore anyway. Just not on enough >_< Don’t lock posts although I never understood the point of posting and locking a post – it is nice to backtrack sometimes! Although I suppose it promotes spam by bringing up old irrelevant posts.. but..-shakes head-

…Lunch time!

OH gawd. How am I supposed to study for my finance quiz.. kicks webct =______=

Profanity of this blog is increasing, proportionate to the level of tea Shini drinks to stay awake.

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

With a lack of inspiration [or motivation to continue with certain drawings that just aren't turning out as 3d as they should be...], you’ll need to deal with my uninspiringly mundane thoughts and musings.
Though here is a preview. I hope to actually be.. you know, finished with it by the end of to..night/day? Although it was one of the neglected pieces which happened to originally be a vexel. Not anymore though. Since, well, vexels.net is dead and deviantart is lame.
Hit and miss Getting the face correct is a hit and miss. The chick I used in the base photo just has way way way too short legs. So to proportionate that, the drawing is going to have short shorts. nod

So staying awake as caused by tea? Nevermind that the last time I drank any tea was at dinner. Or might I also attribute this to the warped amount of sleep gotten during weekends. That and the lack of productivity. procrastinates majorly Of course, when words are my weapons, profanity dull the tools ever so. Sarah would be ashamed shakes head xD Hahaha. So long as I’m not editing any of her lovely pieces of writing any time soon. It might start getting rather profane. Don’t think whoever marking that would appreciate it.

Hm… creative writing. Stories are awesome. Even the oh so dreadful poetry. Apparently, I was quite good at writing the stuff even though it made me bored to tears. Because while photographs takes away bits of someone’s soul =P which is why you ought to avoid the camera, ;P, poetry is akin to the.. oh, I don’t know, metaphoric implications of a Seamus Heaney poem. Blehh. Memories. That and psychoanalysis is not my forté. To do English at a university level however… would be fun. =D I miss EE2.

My arts majors? Oh geez. I really don’t want to…but it seems like its headed straight for psychology’s way. Brill. So looking forward to more experiments. Psychology 1B- A continuation of being a lab rat. The other arts major will be politics [Aww. I can't believe I dropped off Intro to politics this semester again even though I had the chance to. Shall it be left till the end? Or just not completed at all in favour of.. ugh. Another level 3 politics subject? Hidoiii.]

Looking at the various events, I see some people’s primary school having reunions … at Dooleys _”…of which, I shall never understand Varun’s fascination with that place. [Although hm.. scantily clad waitresses? Where? peers ... =( Hey! No fair, You lied. ..It's cosplay cafe that you find those anyway ;P]
But ah,

Flashbacks:– everyone finishes eating — Varun-”Let’s go Dooleys!” … Unanimous. No. How about not. Stick with looking for that sauce from some random Asian shop open [at.. oh, what time was it? 8.30pm =_=''] or that coffee flavoured ice cream, and then its back to Elva’s place to play the wii as per usual. Haha.

Next time we’re all gathering its to play tennis at the Auburn or Lidcombe courts. Like to think we’ll all meet more than once during the hols though =_=” After all, unlike the summer holidays, time is too short for everyone to be working or going to summer school, which I might go to depending on what’s available =x (Why do I get the feeling that there is a very high chance that Ellie shall be joining me? =_= To thee, go and do your psych assignment!! Baka, it was due yesterday, or rather 2 days ago now =_=”). After all, I can’t fit a whole major in something other than accounting, [already doing], finance [... T__T Shini's level of understanding is dropping and dropping.. and what else am I currently procrastinating from at the moment?], business law [am I insane? No. Have to do 4 subjects i.e. a minor and it's rather useless anyway. Simple at the moment, but useless.], or Economics in its various forms [of which I shall consider only econometrics. Because in-exam essays hurt my hand.. and memory], or going on holidays [well, fine, some might be on holidays but eh.]
But yes, <3 Winter holidays. No excuses from peeps! Summer holidays on the other hand are just excessively long and ever so dull. Aw. Now I wish the holidays would come along. But there’s first those dreadful things called examinations to tackle.

Speaking of Auburn, which is why I wrote this blog in the first place in terms of profanity — Christine’s photo hehe! The minority of Auburn aren’t too bright are they? Middle Ease Cuns. clap So epic fail it makes me LOL.
Picture from her blog Quite possibly why I don’t understand the stigma of Auburn as being all that dangerous when they aren’t so bright. [although going to school there for 4 years tends to make you get used to the whole place in general...] I hardly think any of the Lebanese population would be particularly offended by something so clearly pathetic.

Speaking of a more awesome inhabitant of Auburn, Ellie wants me to do quantitative risk MATH2*** or something with her next next next semester. I suppose I don’t mind if there’s any room left in my degree other than the two first year subjects/electives. I did get much more than a credit for QMB which is a requirement and I could be with her again _ *misses the various oh, let’s see,
1. Chemistry [yay ending scribbles: Chem class 06 ] 2. Physics [yay poster to Mr.Ng! Lookie at my graffiti writing. Haha. physics class '06] 3. Maths/Maths Ext [Er... I have a superimposed photo I made of everyone with my super photoshop mad skills? Kind of killed Bonnie there though. is mortified. But yay, math ext combo of two classes ftw...though EE2 is by far, much much better. ;p] 5. Eco/Study [how does it figure that I drop the subject only to pick it up at a more difficult level and am even considering further? I suppose the reason why Miguel isn't doing Commerce [though it appears he may be transferring...] is because Ms. Prees or whatever her new name is talked the rest of the class out of it.] 6… well that was it. Had the same teacher for SOR I guess.. But it was a lot of classes with her! sigh Sci.* Reminiscence as the writer’s words cut like a metaphysical knife, for I don’t feel particularly math-y this semester. Quite possibly a testament to how murderous finance is to my ego. My superego is strangling me now. I should really really really be studying but I cannot conjure the energy or interest to proceed with cramming damnation for the fins quiz. As for the Id? Oh please keep that thing awayyy! It just wants to play. To draw. I thought I indulged enough in that already. I mean, geez, tomorrow is Saturday! >_<
Well… webct doesn’t load! =o No other reason xD And and… yea. I should get back to things.

But anyway, I suppose why I am remembering so is because… some time next week is Trinity Day! _____ School spirit now. Yo. Word. Haha. Notice that only the guys wear their school jerseys around uni. Sparsely. That said…short of Eleanor and myself, and any people that have transferred to UNSW, or previous TCC’ers who switched schools, Natalie M. is the only other girl who came here. =_=” pokes Ellie to wear her jersey too. Ehehe. Now where on earth is that thing…

Of complications in the form of exams. Amongst others.

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

EDIT: :) :( :o :x :D :P … I have just noticed that I seem to possess only one emoticon. A wincing one. So depressing. So here’s some other emotions xD

No more assignments. But a quiz more. And 4 final exams. :x Worth a lot.
And of marks not being returned.
Oh and capped internet.
This sucks.
—-

S’up y’all? Haven’t gotten around to doing much. Too brain dead tired to. Still am too tired actually. Might take a nap after blogging. Wandered around shops today after uni finished at 1pm. My timetable is still sticks next semester, but at least I’ve found out that two friends are doing Psych 1b with me and are going [or enrolled in =p whether they would stick around when its as late as it is and there are ilectures however...] to the 6-7pm lectures. Of course I guess that means I stay nigelled in the earlier lectures sans Thursdays. Oh well.

A lack of results is disturbingly frightening. I am very very scared. :x Especially after how completely and utterly crap I did in the midsession examinations. Perhaps I perform better in assignments? Most likely not. :x
I just hope that the marks can bring my grades up… I need them to. I wish they gave out feedback faster. That way at least I know to improve. And what gives with psychology? Week 13 doesn’t even exist! So when exactly am I supposed to get back my assignment? During stuvac? >_< Ugh.

Webct never loads.

I think I might get some more copic markers even though they’re heaps expensive. Or some pantone markers. They’re pretty good too. But I lack much creative ability. Lack of use = lack of ability.

My head kills.No I didn’t drink any of the Vodka-O-cocktails yesterday. Did have some lazy mess for dessert though.
It really sucks that the Edward Scissorhand tickets are booked for the 8th of June at 7.30pm. It’s cool that Joel got two of the other tickets though. Cookbook editors meet up! [Well, if Patrick won too. Haha. Well if that's the case, then it is soo rigged.] But its during stuvac time. I should study. :x I need to study.

But right now?
I need sleep.
yawns Webct attempting and failing to load puts me to sleep. Can’t believe I have to wait till Sunday morning to be uncapped. Who the hell gets capped on their birthday? Thank you Telstra. =_=
