Saturday

What a dull day, I got up at nearly eleven after gunning down hundreds of zombies the night before in Left 4 Dead, the name that is now synonymous with the words 'zombie' and 'help me'. Hope I can get cracking on studying for the semester exam which is just around the corner, now that assignments have been settled and done with.

Bored and with a PC in front of me, I did what only guys like me could do. You know, guys like me who don't have much life beyond the squalid four walls of my home. Switched on my PC, took out a DVD and an hour later I was busy checking out all the eye-candy that was on my screen.


If you don't know what Windows 7 is, then by all means check it out at the Windows7 Official Site. But if that's too grandfatherly boring for you, then Windows 7 is the follow-up or sequel of sorts to Windows Vista which is the default version of Windows you would find in most new laptops and computers now. It's now available for public testing, so I just thought I should give it a spin.

Had been using it for the whole afternoon, looks and feels really nice. Faster than Vista, and should get better when they officially release it. For those of you who are sick of Vista holding you back, Windows 7 could possibly be the one to help make computing a better experience for us all. It's funny how it plays on my psychology so much, just playing a simple video gave me the impression it was nicer and crisper and more vibrant than watching it on Vista. Nonsensical I know, but it feels great anyway, hahaha.

Yes, I only did what a geek like me could do on a Saturday morning, install computer software. Boring huh? Maybe I should've asked someone to go out for lunch or something....oh well. Next week I guess.

Undeserving, But Grateful

In many ways, I would consider myself to be a terrible friend. Short of listing out all the negative aspects that I'm sure many of you can relate to, every now and then I really do feel that people like me don't deserve to have good, proper caring friends. But despite all the times when I let everyone down, I can still think of so many instances where special people turned up in special circumstances to lend a hand, lend an ear, lend a dollar and whatever else I had needed of.

And among these special people, a few would go the extra mile to be a bit more special even, and I just cannot imagine what I could have done to deserve to know them. Just thought that I should take a moment to properly thank all the awesome people who consider me important enough to befriend and be friends with.


Thank you.

Valentine's

Okay, if you were actually expecting to read something related to Valentine's then you have my apologies, because in true single-but-not-too-desperate geek fashion I spent the entire day at home doing work. Alone.

Oh well...

My apologies again if you have already given up on trying to wait for my posts, the past few weeks since I got my driving lessons from my grandfather in Kuantan hasn't been very good to me. It's the same old struggles that I always write about but never say about. I've even gotten tired of blogging about it, so in the end I always didn't know what to write about when I felt like updates are due. Sigh~

On the other hand, there are a lot of things to look forward to the next month. Semester exams aside, my sister would be coming back home from RBS after the graduation night on the 5th. That means I'd have to return the table (which I have colonised and grown to love) to her. And I'd have to fight for the bathroom with her again. And I can't have the speakers in the living hall pumping out my playlists anymore. But such is the joy of having siblings :) Really hope she enjoys herself and also gain all the experience she can from the remaining two weeks left in Camerons and also the three days during her mission trip to Nilai.

Can't wait for this short semester to be over, would definitely have more time to post a lil bit more often then.

To all the lovebirds around the globe who are splurging lots of love on one another today (and cash too, no doubt), enjoy yourselves and Happy Valentine's :D
