One Year Gone, And Another Comes

2006 rolling out, and here comes 2007.

Again. And like X'mas, I don't feel anything special about it. Have I grown into some insensitive prick that I've felt nothing but boredom for the recent celebrations?

New year resolutions? 1280*960. Though I'm still OK with my current video card, but I always hate it when them moviemakers make their trailers with high resolution nowadays. That and may all those stupid stuff will reduce while I welcome more nice stuff into my life.

Oh well. I'm still feeling all numb here. Maybe watching some fireworks later will do me good. Maybe.

All Thanks To The Taiwan Quake

Oh yeah. Now our lines are 'pwned'. And uh, I'm blaming the quake, not the place - so it's no one's fault - except for the giant plate under the ground.

Barely managed to get into Blogger, and haven't slept yet because twilight's the only chance I get to get online. I wonder how is it going to be in this afternoon - odds are it's probably down. And hope that I'm wrong.

Oh well, crashing on my bed soon.

Sucky Day Of Laggy Connections

Today's network is freaking slow. No idea why, but it's been like that since I woke up.

MSN down. Y!M has a lag of more than 15 seconds. But strangely enough, my BT is OK, as well as most of the websites that I frequent. Only a couple of sites were struggling.

Wonder who's fault it is right now. Though I suspect it might either be Streamyx or the messenger servers.

Bleh.

P/S Blogger works fine too.

Possible Solution For The Annoying MSN Messenger 7.5 error 80004005

Felt the need to post this up, since when I Google'd for the solution, most of the time I was referred to the so-very-new-hot-and-popular WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER instead of the MSN Messenger 7.5, which I'm still using the .0324 version comfortably. So sue me for being off the mainstream.

Anyway, to all the MSN 7.5 denizens out there who hit the tight spot as I did more than an hour ago before I posted this :-

(1) Recall your MSN status. Do you remember placing an emoticon in it for fun's sake?

(2) If (1) is true, open up the antique Windows Messenger (the creaky 4.7) and login into your account, and remove the emoticon from your status.

Problem solved.

Not Affected by X'mas

Other than it being a holiday and an excuse to go home, nothing much for me. Nope, I'm not even expecting any presents at all.

To add in the spice, I'm actually returning to my apartment on the 25th itself. But before that, will drop by 1-U with family for some shopping - early CNY shopping.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not pulling myself away from the celebrations or getting into my emo self again. Because if I want to celebrate, I'd celebrate everyday of my days being alive. And besides, celebrating can be in many other forms and done in various ways.

Oh well, back to hunting for something fun to mess with. FInished Canis Canem Edit, and it was fun. Bravo Rockstar. :)

Passing By...

Some interesting read...

WARNOCK'S DILEMMA

Back to Canis Canem Edit (Bully).

Taking A Dump Of Thoughts - Expectations

Swing and swing, and in a blink, it's been 25 days since I last blogged. Time to crap some thoughts.

And being 20+, people around me start to expect me to do this, expect me to do that, expect me to do what-and-what. And I hate to meet up with those external expectations, because it's just not me. I enjoy being myself right now as a twenty-ager, and I hate to meet up with those kind of external expectations because I prefer to be honest to myself.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

List of expectations on me :-

(1) Girlfriend

Countless times have I been thrown the question that has been pelt at every male who has been assumed as an adult. To all the uncle, auntie and the small little brats who don't even know what 'love' is - can you guys just give me a break ???

This is something that I prefer to take it a little slowly and adding to it, I haven't met up with 'The One' yet, so quit bugging me by comparing me and who-and-who of the same age who's going to get married next month !

(2) Job

Another annoying question/proposal to take from the surrounding people. No, seriously I don't want that job, even if it's overseas and the pay's high. I'd rather be working as a pump attendant than to crap at a job that I don't even like from the start. Or something that doesn't stop me from going online, preferably.

(3) Personality

Regarding this, even I myself isn't quite sure about it. Probably my fault for always keeping that 'good guy' image to most of the people who are not close to me, because what I get is people treat me like a naive person who lives in Butterflyland and dance with fairies. I have to balance myself out by letting the demon inside my darkness laugh at the ignorance of those people who only saw the 'good' side of me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CUT. I'm not the people's kind of people, OK? I have my own set of thinking, and my own life to lead. If I were to lead someone else's life, might as well I go and change my name to that person's name to make things look neater.

For the very least, inside deep of my heart, I want to make a name out of myself, though of course a good one. So people, quit comparing me with others or I will personally change my major to Law and sue you guys for wrongly accusing me as something.
