P.s. I love you

I cant wait for this movie to screen :)

I read the book before. I tink that was 2 yrs ago ba.

All was kinda blurry but i still remembered the "trip" part that the husband arranged for his wife before he died.

I was touched by how attached the couple is to each other. Touched by how much they need each other. Touched by the things that the husband does for the wife. Touched by their love...

Hopfully the movie will be exactly of an re-enact of the story book.

New Term

A new semester starts. As usual, the first 3 lessons will be conducted by the RMIT lecturers. Meaning to say, they are "ang moh" speaking people.

The lessons so far are Spore Taxation and Accounting Theory. The fact is that i have not been attending the class regularly conducted by RMIT lecturers.

The reason being....ok ok, i have to admit, i am still in the adjusting period....meaning... trying to adapt to the going to class after work and return home late routine aka lost of freedom. The other real point is...... i cant adapt to the "slang" that comes with these overseas lecturers! My ears, my mind and soul just simply shut down when they start talking. I just cant keep up with their speed of speech and soon, i will be lost.

haha...to think that i actually onced harboured the dream of studying overseas, to study hotel management in switzerland. Like that, how sia.... Hahaha

ok.....only the first 3 lessons will be conducted by the RMIT lecturers then the local lecturers will take over.

I erm....try....to promise that i will attend regularly by then! :p

Recovery Project Rat

Sartha's hard disk die on us (the both of us, me and her even though its her PC)...

Despite desperate revival from the IT consultants, it has seems to have given up itself.

The worst is that there's no back up!

Although we can still track and trace thru the "bukit timah hill" for some old records, yet some of the v impt files are all GONE!

That means we have to retype EVERYTHING all over again. Some dating from Yr 2001...

ME: i just tot of a name for this recovery thing. We shall call it "Recovery Project Rat"

Sartha: why rat ah?

Me: year of the Rat mah...

Me: i shall make this declaration "during this Recovery Project Rat is undergoing, the workflow will be very inconvenient. So during this period of time, we seek everyone's understanding"....

Lesson learnt: Pls always back up ur files.....and backup regularly and separately.

Me: Wahahahaa.....dun wan dun wan....go away... haha

Bro: i give u $5.

Me: hmm......how many clothes first?

Bro: 1 set.

He proceeded to his room and brought his shirt and jean and left it on the ironing board.

Bro: (reaching for his wallet, he took out a $5 note and hestiated for like 3 secs and took out another $10 and passed it to me) Nah! extra $10 for you.

Me: (started crying out loud) Ah!!!!!!! I actually had to reduce to this!!!! i forsake my reputation for money....

My Bro just kept smiling.

In the end, i took $5 only. 1 t-shirt and 1 jean doesnt command $15 ba.

I am broke but i still have my dignity.
