FTT passed!!

hahahahaahahahha... pass my FTT liao! damn happy.. last time din bring IC cannot take.. this time pass. :D

book my test date already. 27th Nov. just nice after A levels. can everyday drive till my test date..

came across this joke that was posted on the clubsnap forums:

Dear IT Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and
noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in
the flower, gifts and jewellery applications that had operated
flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable
programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but
installed undesirable programs such as Formula One 5.0, NBA 3.0
and World Cup 2.0.

And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6
simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to
fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate Housewife

Dear Desperate Housewife,

First keep in mind:
Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is
an operating system.

Try entering the command C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and
download
Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0.

If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically
run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to
Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Late Night Teh Tarik 6.1.


Late Night 6.1 is a very bad program that will create
SnoringLoudly.wav files.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-Law 1.0 or reinstall
another
Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and
will crash
Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a
limited
memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.

You might consider additional software to improve memory and
performance. I personally recommend Hot Tasty Food 3.0 and
Tongkat Ali 6.9.

Good Luck,
IT Support

i think its damn funny.. lol..

a friend's wake

just came back from my pri sch classmate's wake. had never expected to have to attend a friend's wake so soon. after all we are all so young.. 18/19 yrs with lots of time ahead. but things are not always what we perceive them to be.

for so long, almost 7 yrs have not kept in touch with my pri sch friends le. the only contact we had was through friendster and even then that was only with a few.

was checking my email and reading news when one of my ex classmates told me that wei choo, one of my p6 classmates had passed away. initially i thought he was joking. but he seemed dead serious. so i went to check out her friendster profile. there were many condolence msgs. he was serious and she had passed on. for some time, i was stunned. lots of questions came to me.

what happened?
why commit suicide?
Is it so serious?
what was she thinking?
why? why? why?
lots of questions. but i guess many will remain unanswered.

for that moment i thought i was going to cry, after all this was the 2nd time that death had affected me directly. the first time was my grandfather in 2003. my grandfather's health was poor and although his death came as a shock, at least we knew what caused it. wei choo's death was really out of the blue. i felt more deply this time perhaps because we were classmates for 2 yrs and i had spoken and interacted with her many times. never have i thought she would choose this path. then it dawned on me that she would never check her friendster account again nor would she be able to see the msgs left there for her. in the end i din cry.

seeing her picture in front of her coffin made everything very real. she had really died and there she was lying there. her coffin was 1/3 open but i din want to look at her for long because i didn't want to get too emotional. the 4 of us who went, we din speak much about her but i guess we had many questions in common.

some of the feelings that are going through me as i'm typing now i can't describe. its like we have always taken each other's presence for granted and only when the person is gone do we truly feel it. i wasn't close to her and if i feel this way, i can't imagine her family's pain..

i dunno how to continue from here...

881

hmm.. long time no post le. haha. haven been going out much these recent weeks. must study more.. study is never enough.. haha.. babbling already.

anyway, i enjoyed the NDP weekend very much.. had a great time watching the parade. very grand. :)

had wanted to watch 881 with shawn on friday. but somehow, it din come through. 881 is a local movie by Royston Tan abt the getai industry. its ups and downs. i think the launch of the movie has sparked a new interest in the getais that were always somehow around during the 7th mth. today's newpaper on sunday carried an article on it and it also showed some of the getais that the readers could attend. had always wanted to attend one, if not for the atmosphere then to brush up on my hokkien which sad to say has become more jialat.

din go out, so no photos to post. haha. :P

anyway i did some reading up on the American sub-prime market yesterday. din even hear about the crisis until i heard the news yesterday. apparently it has brewing for quite some time le. its worrying in the business world as the credit crunch could lead to a lower economic growth blah blah blah. i'm pretty confident that MAS would be able to handle this crisis should it need to pump more Sing $$ into the money markets.
