得空没事做 Nothing To Do

坐在电脑前,很无聊。Sitting in front of my PC, feeling bored.

考试考完了。Exams are over.

动画看完了。Anime done watching, for the time being.

音乐听厌了。My songs ain't cheering me up either.

书也读完了。Finished reading the books I have.

很想把头往键盘敲。Feeling like banging my head on the keyboard.

闷到屁这样。Feeling as bored as flatulence now.

有点活得不耐烦了。As if I'm starting to lose my patience in leading my life.

真的,这样很吸。Now this really sucks.

真的希望有点好事让我做啊。。。Really hope there's something good for me to do...

这样我就不用在这里。。。 So I don't have to be stuck at here doing...

Another Comeback

Been a while since I blogged (laziness to be blamed), and funny that I made ANOTHER comeback just because to spill my frustration out of some silly issues. Kinda lost track of what I left out since I placed my last post, but as usual, loads of things happened, and even more loads of things changed. But I can't bind myself to blog up all these chaos all the time, as I find wasting my life in various other ways is much more productive than this.

Well, I blog for no one save for a few of my close pals and perhaps by luck, a couple of cyber-wanderers. Who is actually that interested to waste their precious time browsing though all the ramblings of a no-life nobody anyway?

I don't know, but my family's pressure is starting to get into me lately (especially on my uh, relationship status of being single and still looking). 22 and the half, and Dad would've told me that at this age he was doing so and so, achieving so and so. I don't know, probably I'm just slow in pace, but there's no red line to mark a standard and prove that I fall below it and fail in Life. I find myself being able to manipulate words in a certain manner, And I figure out I just need some space to make it work out.

Though I do admit - at times I felt quite lonely, and I find the need for companionship. Very close companionship. Not that I'm desperate, but I just need someone to share out my feelings.

Lately family's been quite involved in various social events all thanks to Dad's involvement in my former primary school's PTA as well as being part of the committee in the Buddhist lodge my family frequented. I consider that as an expansion for my family's social circle, and that especially benefits my younger siblings. But I guess partly because of that, I'm feeling more pressured as well.

End of this post, but I felt a little more confused than I started typing. Probably I should also take a 'long walk' and shut myself off the world or something too, but on second thought, nah. Or probably better, I should just reduce my self-isolation from the rest of the world.

Yahoo Messenger 8.1 Status Problem - Cut Short to 40 !!!

UPDATE : HERE'S A FIX !!! Kudos to the author !

Yahoo! decides to steal Christmas and cuts the size of the messenger's status down to a inhumane 40 characters, while keeping quiet without making announcements just to see the whole lot of us get sucked up into a turmoil.

Well, who the hell can express anything in the status for 40 characters ?! I can't even put up a proper sentence in it, which is outrageous for a Grammar Nazi like me !!!

To prove that Y! is messing with us :-

(1) Go to your Yahoo!\Messenger\Cache folder.
(2) Find for this file 'system.xml' and open it up with your Notepad

You should see the following lines :-

...max_custom_status>40...

See ?! It's been made official unofficially !!!

Someone ought to knock them some sense into explaining what is the purpose of this underhanded trick. For a big company like them to do something without explaining their actions properly is like a dog trying to pretend to be a rat stealing from the kitchen.
