ups and downs

been a while...erm...i don't remember in chronological order what happened so, just randomising my post. not really in the mood to blog, but fingers itchy.

birthday. that was ok. went out for lunch at vivocity. well...i think i only saw a small bit of it, cos it didn't look as impressively big as i expected it to be. had dinner at fish&co. realised that my birthday last year, also went out to fish&co. haha! the drink was nice. took the 'pirate's poison' thingy. mango, passion fruit and sprite. plus red food colouring. and a gummy! shaped like teeth! cool!

had the SCO practice. it was...don't know how to describe it really. weird songs. so tempted to pull out. at least that 'instant is a millennium' thingy in J1 had a tune to it. this one...the lyrics are repeated. the tune is repeated. and it's practically at chanting pace. damn. but, it's a big choir involved. so...if we're lucky, can hide behind the others. lol!

i realise that i'm a very paranoid person. or rather, i developed paranoia over the year. anyway, all saints on 1nov. i thought it was supposed to be our choir's mass. i wrote it in my diary. BUT. i think i made a mistake in the typing of my minutes that time. cos the minutes said that we were supposed to do it on oct31 instead. damn. found out only after the mass. poor marion had to jump in and help out. *muacks* ya.

anyway, and then. we went down anyway for the 1nov mass. combined choir with the sunday evening mass choir. oh. my. god. oh! my! god! they did everything at a snail's pace. @.@ the organist played like she didn't know the songs. know that song "sons of god"? it's supposed to be FAST. they sang it SLOW. and very very very very painfully slowly. "sons. of. god. hear. his. holy. word. ga--ther. round. the. table. of. the. lord..." *cringe* the thanksgiving hymn..."blest are they" was a new one. it was actually quite nice. but...the organist!!! she should have played it better lah. i think for this mass, i could have done better lor.

anyway. my darling computer. something happened to it. don't know why. on tuesday night, i was fiddling with it, cos i was trying to reinstall outlook express. (which didn't work in the end anyway). anyway, the next day, my wireless connection refused to work. said that it couldn't find the IP address or something weird like that. so, paranoid me panicked. and began fiddling round with the comp. which i think i shouldn't have done. ya then. i decided to just leave it alone liao. (scared that i might have permanently damaged my comp). then, dhui came along and asked to use it. so, ok, i thought, it's been a while liao (an hour) just try lah. and you know what?! IT WORKED!!! but. it takes very long to load from the login page to when the desktop appears. someone tell me why. and now, my intel PRO/Set Wireless isn't working. it says that the adaptor is missing. someone please help me.

i was already thinking of reformatting. and i think this issue has kinda speeded up my decision to reformat. now i'm just looking for a way to back up my data before i do it.

talking about computers. sat for the second GEK1500 test on tuesday. I STUDIED. it was ok. at least there wasn't as many questions as last time that i couldn't understand at all. the only one that i was really stumped at was: "In the Dolby Digital 5.1 standard, what does the .1 stand for?" i think it's got something to do with the speakers. like, 5+1 speakers? but i left the question blank. :p

and i think that at the end of the semester, i'm gonna pass my GEK textbook to my mum to study. she's forgotten all the computer basics. like resizing the window. using the start menu. omg. *rollseyes* for someone who knows how to use the internet, she's kinda clueless about basic desktop stuff. the book will be perfect. lol!

clay's getting another CD out. or rather, it's called an EP (extended play). not that i know the difference between the 2. but i don't think we'll get it here in singapore. apparently it's gonna be released in walmart only. on nov28. now, should i ask someone to help me get (someone on clay aiken singapore board was offering), or should i just wait in agony till (and if) singapore gets it? i heard that he's got really good songs on it. eg "my grown up christmas list". love that song. and clay's version is really touching. AND i heard that it's very very very cheap. in SGD, less than $15.

talking about cheap, reminds me of money. there's good stuff coming into singapore next year. Phantom of the Opera in march. Il Divo in januray. and the rumour (from theodora) is clay aiken in february. wow!!! but...no money!!!!!! i wanna go for all!! POTO and Il Divo. which one? which one?! someone be nice and buy tickets for me. heehee! this is where a rich boyfriend comes in handy. lol!
