As you might have guessed from all the face-sitting and stuff, I don't have anything worth posting at the moment. This is due to the fact that I've got exams these few weeks and so do most of my friends.

So, anyway, just made a few slight modifications to my layout. You may have noticed that the donate oral sex icon died a quick and horrible death due to lack of donations. Alas, poor little donate oral sex icon, you shall be missed greatly.

I also added two other blogs to the 'visit' list which I visit quite regularly. This may look like an attempt to boost my flagging traffic by hoping that the people who own those blogs will return the favour *hint, hint* but I can assure you it that it's merely to make it easier for me to visit my favourite blogs.

Hmmm... if you think about it, I guess blogging isn't really about traffic and whether people read your posts onot. It really is just a way in which you express yourself to the world however and whenever you feel like it. Am I becoming a *gasp* blog whore (or rather in this case, a blog gigolo)?

whoopee...

I am 27% Geek

You probably work in computers, or a history deptartment at a college. You never really fit in with the "normal" crowd. But you have friends, and this is a good thing.

What?! I have social skills?! You have got to be kidding...

Had a very bad tummy ache yesterday night. I think it must have been the prawn noodles. I made prawn noodles for lunch yesterday and left the soup in the pot until dinner-time and had it for dinner. Usually that wouldn't do much harm, except that I guess cuz it's summer food spoils really fast, like back in Malaysia.

Also, stupid ants keep trying to invade my apartment. It's really irritating, you seal off one entry point and they come back a few days later through some little crack elsewhere. I really hate ants. >:(

My next exam is on Wednesday, really stressed out trying to study for it right now. Blah, hate exams, hate ants, hate summer, sucks to be me right now...

Do you spend a lot of time in front of the computer? If you do, I may have some bad news for you. Read about it over here.

Hmm... maybe I can use this to claim special consideration for my exams?

Weather was goddamn hot today, worse than yesterday even. Wouldn't be surprised if it hit the mid thirties...

Saw this weird looking guy on the tram sniffing glue or something. He was wearing bright green sunnies, cowboy hat, tracksuit, jeans and boots. He held this plastic bag filled with what looked like glue or liquid-paper (whatever it was, it smelled pretty bad) to his nostrils and mouth and kept breathing in and out of the bag. These two aussie chicks sitting across him were glancing at him alot, probably wondering what was up with this guy. When they were leaving their seats, the glue-sniffing guy suddenly sat upright and blurted "Staring.... Allllways staring...." Hmmm... just not something you'd see everyday.

I had one of the most memorable dinners ever last night. Actually, I should probably call it supper cuz it was at about 11pm but I still hadn't had my dinner by then so its dinner. Anyway, one of my friends had a 'tip' from his friend about this mamak shop which is actually not far from the place I live. So we went there and were greeted by the sight a real Indian man flipping roti! We knew instantly that we had stumbled onto something really good...

And it just kept getting better... they actually had teh tarik there! And the service was like really cool, cuz when I asked them if they had 'teh o ais limau' the guy told me like they didn't know what that was but that if I explained it to them they would make it for me, so I did, that was really nice of them huh? So anyway, we ordered and shared just about everything we could recognize as 'mamak food' on the menu, roti, murtabak, mee goreng, chicken curry, chicken briyani...

It was absolutely heavenly... (The only complaint I would have is that the nasi briyani wasn't fragrant enough.) If I were a member of the female species I would probably say the experience was 'orgasmic' but I won't, since I'm a guy and all... What I can be sure is I'll definitely be going back there to eat, or better yet, have some of their yummy mamak food delivered to my apartment. (They have free home delivery.)

Now I know you're thinking, just what is the big deal about a normal thing like eating at a mamak right? Well, when you've been coop-ed up in a gwai lou place with hardly any *real* Malaysian food like Melbourne for almost 5 years you will definitely know what the big deal is about. Man, I am already salivating just thinking about it.

Had a seriously stressful day today... Its really true, what they say about Murphy's Law, that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. And the worst part is that things will go wrong at exactly the moment when you really need things to run as smoothly.

So, what were the events that transpired which led me to this conclusion? Well it all started with me having to hand in my assignment at 4pm today and finishing it only around 3pm (my bad). The weather was somewhat cool when I stepped out so I wore my jacket and after the five minute walk to the tram stop, I realized it had suddenly become pretty warm (pretty lucky huh). What happened after that was that tram came seriously late, which really pissed me off since the weather was now friggin hot and I had an assignment due in less than an hour! So anyway went down to the printing shop and would you know it, the printing system thingy was down! So, had to wait for one of the shop attendents to be free (yet *another* delay) and had to print my stuff out from one of the PCs behind the service counter. After that I sprinted like a mad man over to the undergrad office and handed in the bloody thing at exactly 3:50pm...

Talk about a close call! *phew*

AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! ^1000000000

Well, had to shorten my scream of stress and frustration as it was screwing up the layout... I've only had a blog for like 4 days but seem to have a bad habit of breaking it very often.

I am super-ultimate stressed out right now! It's 2:30am, I haven't had much sleep in the past two days and I can't afford to sleep until my assignment, which is due in 13.5 hours(!) is done! OMG, seriously gotta kick this stupid procrastination problem... For me, history always repeats every semester. I start out in the semester wanting to really study well for a change and by the time the semester is over, I'll be doing last minute study or last minute assignment writing yet again! ugh...

Having a nice cup of white tea to soothe my nerves now... Anyway, back to work!

Well, I've decided that it's too much trouble than it's worth to change the comments system over to haloscan, so I'm staying with BlogOut. I also tried out a few guestbook sites and found that Alxnet suits my needs the best. Anyway, the guestbook is online now so take out ur virtual pens and sign my guestbook people! :D As for tagboard, I'll probably try it again sometime later in the near future. Oh, and thanks geline for the advice!

So, anyway I was trying to change my comments thingy over to haloscan, which looks like it has a cleaner interface than the one I'm currently using (which is actually not bad, just not as clean-looking). Well, I signed up at the site, logged in and grabbed the HMTL code to paste into my template, right? After publishing the page, I loaded my page up in Opera (been using this browser since ages ago, it really kicks ass) when lo and behold, my blog transformed into the blog equivalent of Britney Spears without makeup on. I tried fiddling around with it, but to no avail. A similar thing also happened when trying to install tagboard.

So this is an S O S going out to any kind soul who'll be willing to teach me how to install haloscan and tagboard on my blog without screwing up my layout. If you wanna help, please leave a comment here or send me an email. I would really appreciate it. Also, can someone recommend a good, clean guestbook thingy to use for my blog as well? Thanks people.

So anyway, I've just been wondering, what's the deal with blogs and personality tests? Just about any personal blog you go to (including this one :^), you will almost certainly stumble upon revelations about what model of hand-made Scandinavian furniture he is, what type of alcoholic beverage she is and just how pananoid-schizophrenic-manic-depressive-obssessive-compulsive the blog owner is.

Of course, personally I do think personality tests are plenty of fun, good for a laugh or may even tell you something you never knew about some obscure aspect of your personality, but what kinda makes me wonder is why you can see them on almost everyone's blog but not on maybe say everyone's personal website or favourite forum?

My theory is that perhaps nothing much was happening much that day, so Mr/Ms Blogger got really bored and did some random personality test he/she stumbled across in another blogger's website and posted the results of the test on his/her blog so he/she would have something to post on his/her blog, is that what usually happens? I dunno, I'm just curious about this seemingly mysterious connection between blogs and personality tests. Any thoughts?

Yay! My blog finally works again! Seriously, I thought I'd broken my blog cuz I got an error every time I tried to publish my posts last night. But it's ok now!! :) Must have just been Blogger's server acting up i guess.

Anyway, I'm at the college computer lab now trying to get some work done on the nasty assignment I mentioned earlier. Should get back to work now....

Yet another wasted day. Did a bit more work than yesterday, but mostly just did a lot of useless things like surfing the net, making herbal tea, looking at other blogs, listening to MP3s and generally not being very productive. *sigh* At this rate, I'll never pass this subject and won't be able to graduate on time. My parents are sooooo gonna kill me.

I keep asking myself, why the hell didn't I do Evidence in summer school? (Evidence is the subject which I'm doing the assignment for. It's much easier if you do it during the summer than the normal semester cuz you do an exam instead of this bitch-ass 5000 word assignment you have to finish in 7 days)
