Blood Trails..
Blood Trails...Hurt myself this afternoon while on my way back from running errands..
The day began rather slowly, took my time.. Watch the morning news (till I was damn bored coz my desktop still cant run =S
BLOODY ATI card..)
After sayin' a few stuff online, I went to Alkaff Mosque with Hasbee (coz he lives arnd e area too)..
Then I went to Guardian
Pharmacy to buy some toiletries which I need..
On e way back, I walked up e escalator, oblivious to the fact tt I'm wearing sandals.
I
tripped..
Skinned my feet (4 diff. areas..)
By the time I reached the top of the escalator, then the
pain began to set in..
I had to
slowly & painfully drag walk back home. (which usually took less than 5 mins la.)
By the time I reached my hse(thank God I live on e 1st floor..), I took my right feet out of my sandals,
blood already formed a puddle.. I was like wad the...
Walked to the bath room to wash e blood away (leaving
bloody footprints arnd the hse.. =S)
It's been 5 hrs and the blood's still flowing through my 2nd set of bandages..
Well, at least I can still
walk though..
Haiz.. First, my desktop,
then, misunderstandingSSSSS with my brudder n dear (which luckily cleared oredi)
followed by, TONS of HW..
Now..
painHmm.. If I'm lucky, bro will buy new graphics card tmr.. At least
that will lessen my troubles =P .. hahaz..

So SIANZ!!!
Never, ever, buy ATI's 1600Pro graphics card sia
Poor performance, overpriced & e worst of all...
Damn short life span!!!For $242, it only lasted
less than 3, THREE MONTHS!!!Wth...
My old Nvidia 4200 Ti lasted for more than 2 yrs (and counting, coz it wasn't spoiled, I upgraded it with e
worthless 1600Pro...)
My money is
forever on Nvidia products la...
My "New" graphics card.. Completely worthless now...And what really pissed me off is that for such a
BIG heatsink, together with an
OPEN CPU (coz my shoebox SLIX gets warm damn fast with e cover on), it can still melt...
The part which had some kind of liquid oozing out.. Thus, shorting e circuit.. And there goes $242....For such a large sum of money compiled with "good" reviews for ATI products, I thought that buying e card would be a loooonnnggg term investment.. 3 months izint tt long though.. =S

Coming Days
Coming DaysIt's been a tough week..
Had my
downs mostly..
To the extent that I didnt feel the pain whilst carrying the stuff around on wednesday..
Haiz.. Nvr have I experienced sooo much rage which made my blood
boilAfter that day, I spent the following 2 days at home,
Partly recovering from the pain
Partly contemplating on what will happen
The coming days will
never be the same again
Now,
Everyone will start to
shed their skinsShowing the
real colours underneath
Finally I can see what I am dealing with
Hypocrites need not fear
For I know who you are
No longer will your words
bear the same weight upon my ears
No longer will your schemes be
fulfilledFor my rage knows no bounds,
But as long as my
will stands,
The hypocrites have to worry naught
Like I have said, so I will say again,
The coming days will
never be the same again...

Boiling Point (of blood)
Boiling Point (of blood)Juz came home from a looooooong debriefing..
Since I'm too tired(& partly pissed) I shall explain the
bad part of my day:
It all began e instant
Bigboi came inside to "lecture" us abt e room...
From the beginning all the way to the end, I knew it was
GP skills and that we were
getting pwned...
I knew I could easily
rebutt everything tt was said by Bigboi jux now, but I didn't.. Why u ask?
Well, partly coz I noe (be it thru plain suspicions or their actions) some ppl might not share e same views as I do..
Not only that, it's also a matter of being tactful.. (wut u said brudder was CORRECT, 100% CORRECT..)
Coz
FACE IT... We are in
SINGAPORE.. Being surrounded by
SINGAPOREANS.. whom mostly excel at the art of single-mindedness or simply, "kiasu-ism"... (I'll admit, me not speaking out is such an example.. but their plenty others who are worse..)
Haiz..
What they did is not only
insulting.. It was
REVOLTING..
It's like giving us sweets for gold..
After what happened today, my perception changed..
No longer will am I
willing to serve..
But I'll serve because
I have to...
I pray for a better day tmr so I can post the GOOD that happened today..

When we have no say over what is ours...

Life's a mess
Life's a messMy life's a
bleedin' mess..
Feel like I'm running a masquerade in my life...
"yes sir, no sir, yes ma'am, no ma'am"
Work load front, back, centre, left, right.....
All of my actions seemed like there's no meaning to it
Life now is full of meaningless routines
As each day passes, I feel as if all I did was nth
Futility, insignificance, irrelevance fills my day-to-day activities
I can bear it no more...
Searching for the reality of life I once knew..
Obstacles, barriers lies in that path
Of which I knew not of how to overcome.. yet...
Life is a mess...

When Old Frenz Meet
When Old Frenz MeetWent out with my old SA brudders today.. Met them at PS.. Had BK for lunch while JH, Taklung & I w8ted for Tong liang to show up.. Then, proceded to S'pore Shopping Centre for pool.. Since it's been like months since we all saw one another, we talked ALOT of crap while we played.. Ended up playing for arnd 2+++ hrs..
YS joined us an hour after we started la.. Turned out he came frm the NLB book sale at Expo.. To top it off, he spent the whole nite awake coz he had Band Dinner the nite b4... I'm surprised tt he can still play quite well after all those stuff la.. Summore he told us he drank like: 3 shots of tequila, one bottle of chardenay, one bottle of vodka & some more other stuff which I 4got... The fact tt he's not online tonite means he's still sleeping since 4 today...
For the pool game itself, it went rather badly on my part.. I cant seem to hit at an angle these dayz.. Whenever I try to, the target ball will go diff direction.. Am so losing my physics principles.. =S
Oso, it seems tt JH improved alot on his skills la.. Wth.. He like totally pwned EVERY game... Or maybe it's coz I was too distracted on some other matter.. =P
After the game, we went back to PS for lunch @ Mos Burger.. didnt had any coz I was full.. Instead bought myself a Grande Iced Vanilla Latte frm Starbucks and I was like "WTH!!!!"... Coz I realised tt Starbucks cup size SUCKS to the core man.. I bought a tall Iced Vanilla Latte and the size difference is like negligible la.. WTH... Haiz..
At Mos burger, YS like starting to "die" oredi la.. He stone worse than benny stone during lecture.. not to mention FASTER oso.. it was like e instant we chose our seat and sat down, he was oredi like STARING at the table.. then slowly go to slp.. all in less than a minute.. hahaz...
Went straight back home wif every1 minus JH(coz he got class outing to attend)..
Went home and I kinda thought bout stuff.. Haiz..
To put it simply, I have to be patient la, maybe work will occupy me.. maybe my games(which probably wont since my desktop is like at e end of its dayz..)
Was listenin to some songs and these lyrics here made e most sense to me rite now..
Where'd you go?
I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever
since you've been gone
