Life is like riding Lethal Weapon 100 times a day.
Will update when I find a way to disconnect the power lines to the ride.

Thanks a lot, Facebook.

Now I don't have any picture left to put on this blog.

How Long Can You Last?

The slender fingers danced gracefully over the keyboard. Every word typed was inspiration for the next; And the next sentences always complimented the ones preceding. Thoughts flowed like a stream of never-ending river.

The writing came to a sudden halt. A heavy sigh. The left hand reached for the mouse. Arrow was guided to The Button.

YES


The Man put down his mug of coffee and walked away into the light.

Did you know the bus driver would not DARE to ask for the ticket if your ear is severely bleeding. Even if the blood has dried up.




More like disgusted than scared, eh?

Of Soupy, Sengkekness and Pawn Shop

Cross out the word sengkekness, please. That's like an uber lie.

Anyway, I finally realised that my house was a jungle, full of electronic gadgets I don't need and never used. So, I decided to make some money instead of just throwing out those stuff.

I went to Cash Converter in Valley to 'pawn'
1 - my old Acer Travelmate laptop
2 - A very old external webcam I only used once for web-chatting
3 - Portable Targus Speaker (It came together with my laptop bag. I used it once.)
4 - A very ugly watch I bought at Ekka (Everything looked good and super cheap at Ekka, okay?)

This was not the first time I've been to Cash Converter, but this is my first time selling my stuff there. So I first pulled out my laptop, and the guy at CC asked me what price was I looking at. So I was like, "I don't know. A hundred dollars, probably."

He checked the spec and said that it was running on the old processor and $100 might've been too much. Well I thought so. Unfortunately, due to my constant flipping of the lappie's screen, the LCD mounting came off. And even more unfortunate that the fault cannot be fixed anymore. After consulting his tech expert, he said that the max he could give me was $5 or $10 store credit.

It was hard for me to let go, but seriously, I didn't need any of the stuff anymore. My argument to keep the laapie was as the back up in case my current Vostro screwed up. But to think about it, I might as well buy a new laptop. I mean, surely I wouldn't be using such uncool broken laptop again. (That uncool broken laptop was my slave for two years and a half, okay?)

Anyway, sold my laptop for $5, the watch for $5, the webcam $5 and the speaker $5. It was hard to let go of the speaker as well since it was a brand name and it was in perfect condition. As for the watch, I wasted $20 on removing the tabs just to sell it for $5. Talk about a waste.

Anyway, in all I got $20. Damn, I didn't even get enough to buy The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown.





More elctronic stuff I don't use and in perfect (as new. barely used) condition:
- An AWA iPod dock. The light for the clock was too dim. I need a bright one to replace my alarm clock and my bedside table is too small to hold two items.
- Laptop cooler. I use my latop on my bed, so it's very tricky to place the cooler underneath the laptop.

contact me if you're interested in these.

A Box of Chocolate

a fiend wrote this on her Fb post:
"this phrase just come into my mind...life is like a box of chocolate, u will never know what u will get inside the box."




Obviously you'll get chocolate. Like, d'oh.

I don't understand. What else you'll get inside a box of chocolate? There's a reason it's called a box of chocolate, not 'a pile of sh*t'. (well, unless someone's playing prank on you.)

Apparently the box of chocolate phrase comes from Forrest Gum. Maybe I'd need to watch that movie in order to understand the theory behind chocolate. (suddenly chocolates can transform into flowers. ding! Wallawey, you think it's alchemy or what?)



I wish I'll get gold inside my box of chocolate.
The golden ticket to Charlie's chocolate factory can be nice too.

Public

I realised that quite a number of blogs I stalk have gone private.
I wonder if that's because I was stalking them o.O'






let's hope this blog won't go private.
Ever.

An honourable mention. *humming a happy tone*
I know it's not something big.
But this doesn't happen every day.




[somethingUnrelated] I'm surprised M Cleary knew how to spell my name.

Of a person and four personalities...


from UQ's Aurion ESS.

I have FOUR staff numbers!
Anyone wants to challenge on that?
(On the count of staff number, not how much I get paid.)


It's useless, however, even if I have a hundred staff numbers but don't get paid that much. And no, I don't get paid as much as you guys/girls might have expected.
