My PC's Series of Allergics

Last day of May! Urgh. How time passed.

Let me tell you why I haven't been updating my blog.

I think my PC is allergic to my apartment or something.

Remember last year when the hard disk crashed and kaput-ed on me? With all the contents un-retrieved? That was Allergy No. 1.

Allergy No. 2 started this year. It was only 1 or 2 months ago that my LCD screen had a prominent blue vertical line across the screen. I don't know how it started. It just appeared suddenly. Like magic - the way Harry Potter worked some chanting mantra, waved his wand, and 'dang' the blue line just appeared. And it never went away. Some dead cells on the screen. Can't be cured. (Not unless I entirely change a new LCD, that is). As annoying as it was when it first happened, I sort of lived with it. And I'm somewhat fine with that bright blue line there when I'm browsing the web, watching movies and sorts.

I think there must have been some Lord Voldemort in the Land of Technology or something, must have been amazed at the sorts of patience I had, mending through series of allergics on my PCs. So, as dissatisfied as he is for not gaining victory in crushing my PC, he has to now send someone to destroy my motherboard this time around. Crap. Bloody crap. My windows just kept on restarting by itself. Like, you know, ahem, magic. Allergic No. 3.

I don't know. I must have been the worst user PCs have ever lived with. Or it's just pure bad luck. Or... or, wrathful Lord Voldemort really does exist, somewhere, in the Land of Technology.

-_-

Darn.

鄭秀文 [Sammi Cheng] - 捨不得你

Heard this song over the radio this afternoon.

And it reminded me that I used to play this song over and over again years ago, when it was a hit!

And now.... I'm over-playing it again. Quite addictive. =)

Insomnia.. Again!

Crap. It's almost 2am!

And I'm having insomnia. Again.

Rolled, tossed and turned on the bed for the past 1.5 hours, and I gave up.

Siiiggghhhhhhh...... It must be the umpteenth time. Am I getting old? Is that it?

So you know what I decided to do?

I got up and decided to turn on my pc and... blog. Semangat.

I should make blogging my professional career or something, seriously.

** I hear you, bc. You must be saying 'get an air cond' again. Haha.

Let me tell you what I've been doing while tossing on my bed a while ago.

I was going through some old sms-es in my phone. [Aiyah, I can't just toss and turn and do nothing ma, rite? I'll be bored to death. Imagine headlines : Gal sets world record for tossing on bed for the longest time... and she died of boredom].

Ok lah, I know I'm crapping already. And no, I'm not sleep talking. -_-

Anyway, back to sms-es.

Looking back at the many crossroads and milestones, ahem, I think I felt mixed feelings of where I am today.

I'm emo like that. I still keep some of the old sms-es in my inbox.

They somehow remind me of the encouragements, the thoughtful wishes, the humours, the fights, the jokes, and the many many things that exist throughout the lifetime of my faithful phone.

I don't know if you face the same problem. But whenever my phone runs out of memory, I actually take very, very long just to vet through sms-es in my inbox to decide if I should keep or delete them.

Is that silly or what?

Oh! I know a nicer sounding word to describe that. Sentimental. Hah. Lol.

Wait 'til you see how full my email inbox is. I should really find time to clear my inbox for some space. Tough work.

Okay, I'm yawning! Finally!

Enough of chattering for now. Going to get some sleep. I better sleep. Though I'm almost certain I'll stop yawning by the time I hit the sack. It's bound to happen. Yawn, crawl into bed, un-yawn. If that's even a word. :(

But I better try.

Good night, world.

劉若英 [Rene Liu Ruo Ying] - 我們沒有在一起

Been watching a drama that made me addicted to this song.

Nice hor?

Of Our Revenge With Soya!

Okay. The story goes like this.

Wanted to look for a good light supper in SG, so we thought we should head over to Geylang to try Yong He's famous dou jiang you tiao. So with hopes running high, and a few rounds of going around the many lorongs in Geylang, we found Yong He. Locating Yong He was easy at Geylang. Locating a carpark, on the other hand, was effortful. When we finally found one, some kiasu gal actually stood there, in the middle of the only parking space available, literally stood there, to "reserve" the place for a car that's not there yet. Brr....

So anyway, ended our struggle with a carpark further away from the shop, and we found ourselves seated impatiently waiting for our soyas!

Yong He. Let me tell you why we're so excited and all wanting to try out Yong He.

If you don't already know, Yong He is one very famous place you can have duo jiang you tiao in Taipei.

So we were given the menus.... Food.

More food.

But we decided to go with the basics & the essentials.... (or so we thought). So we went for dou jiang

& you tiao....

But you know how we ended up feeling? Disappointed. One word. Fullstop.

Don't know why we bothered driving all the way to Geylang for this.

I'd rather have went for the tin gai porridge.

So...

With a broken heart, we set out to seek for revenge!

And so we ended, on the same night, at another spot, for dou jiang you tiao. Hah! Take that, Yong He!

Damn tak puas hati. So we had to satisfy that poor crave of ours.

This came to our rescue!

Rochor Original Beancurd! You see... damn packed & crowded the place.

We thought no more seats left and we thought we had to disappointedly leave :(

(p/s : guy in red shirt on the right, that's Sean, our local "tourguide")

But! Turns out they had plenty of tables & chairs in the back alleys behind the shop!

Lucky or what?

So even with a somewhat already soya-filled stomach, we still ordered these.

I like the tau fu far..... Very nice lor. Definitely puas hati this time!

Have to thank Sean for 'recommending' us to this, our saviour to our cravings... haha
