things have been rather good lately... in the last couple of days though :)
first, went out the other day... yesterday i think... yep, it was yesterday.. went to look around for a water ornament. those little things made of clay where there's water running thru it? like a mini fountain/waterfall. yeah, something like that. it was for me room... set it up all last night at about 1 before sleeping.. let the thing run n all.. but when i switched of the lights and decided to go to bed, i couldn't. the darn thing was noisy. actually not noisy, noisy.. but you can here the water trickling. how was i suppose to sleep? hehehe... i thought i could just leave and perhaps get used to.. but every time i wanted to doze off, my mind would tell me.. if that sound would just go far away... far enough so that i can't hear it then i'll be able to sleep.
so i got up in a second switched the thing off and went to sleep :þ
then god knows for what reason, i woke up 3 times. the 3rd by a really really loud jet plane whizzing by as though it was just outside my window. so loud i had to actually close my ears. and by the time i get up to look out the window [half groggy... half cannot even open my eyes] i don't see anything. so much so i thought i was hearing things since no one else in my house talked about it. it's been 3 days in a row. what's up with that?! sheesh... don't tell me for some agong crap?! urgh.. that means til the end of next week??!
so anyways... went on the pc as usual... did a survey/questionnaire for my final year project... which was actually due about 2 months ago... yeah, i know.. really late.. but i'm not the only one! :)
in case you're reading this, and haven't been bugged by me about it... could you please do this survey for me?? pretty please? ;þ thanks very much. the link is over here.
so anyways... my mid point meeting ain't next week.. which is wonderful news :) now i don't have to rush too much... but still rush. you know what i mean, i have more time to do more things. all because my name is in the lower half of the alphabet. thanks to my parents :)
yep... that's it.. lotsa things happening... all at the same time!
have a good sunday ;)

[ehh... new layout!!]
hmm... took me a day to do this.
well, since it IS afterall called uninvited.. might as well do one layout for the lady who inspired me to choose the name and from that day forth allowed me to junk my thoughts in here. hehe...
so you've probably been wondering why uninvited? actually there's no significance of the word to this blog and me. i was just so happened to be listening to the mentioned song and since i wasn't really bothered about what to name this thing at the time, this is what you get :þ
so, what do you think? different from the usual? ;p

what a miserable day it was....
actually, it's not that bad for the fact that it's all over!!! :) except for my final yr project, all's well. the presentation didn't go so well. at about almost 8am we realized that a few things weren't working.. all because i backed-up using a friend of mine's database... luckily i had my old one, so once i restored that and started AGAIN inserting all the bloody procedures and triggers.. it worked. right to the last moment i tell you we were still debugging... up to 10.30 when i was printing the last page before i left to go bind it n all. imagine.. presentation was at 11am!
the presentation... first of we were 10 minutes late. he asks, "why are you late? you're not having exam isn't it?" hehe.. how to tell him we were still working on the project till the last 1/2 hour? then, well... because the interface wasn't working with the database, that stupid lecturer of mine just goes... "oh, so that not working.. i see... you didn't do triggers? you didn't do procedures?" i mean like hello you numb nut!! we did if you weren't so blind! actually our database was pretty good. everything was working, except the interface. otherwise the system woulda been almost perfect... but did he look like he cared?
with the lack of sleep, but i wasn't sleepy at all actually, i still had to stay back at college for a meeting with my supervisor. the 3rd meeting. why? well because next week is my midpoint and up til now, i've got zilch amount of work prepared. besides the research work i did in the begining.. when i was deciding what topic to do... i haven't even done the gantt chart. now i have to make up one to show my progress work in the last couple of months. hehe.. the amount of bull shiting required :p
so anyway, mr i'm-an-ass-of-a-supervisor did it again. instead of delaying us as before.. he decides that not showing up altogether is a much better solution. apparently he had some medical check up. couldn't he have informed me, hello??? gave him my hp number for what? what's the point of the darn consulation booking system if he doesn't even inform me thru email??
and then we're suppose to be IT professionals. supposedly savvy enough to know how to use all these methods of communication. sms pun tak boleh ke? sial...
well, i can't even use the diary system to express my disappointment. for final yr, they set up this diary system where we're "suppose" to write details on our progress. what we did when? how far have we reached? what have we learned? and also another section to state the meetings i had with my supervisor. what went on an all... so i was planning to say how he conveniently didn't show up and stuff, but the darn server is down. so typical!
ahh.. anyway, i didn't want to see how long i could last and all. unlike the last time, i only managed to stay awake for... 32 hours. spent almost 24 hours of those on the pc.. online. thank god for streamyx and that it was working! otherwise i would be in a bit of a predicament [die-lah] =þ didn't go camping at a friend's house this time. was at home, but was accompanied by many people along the way. my group members for the most part, and one and only one other person who managed to go all night without rest. the others at least got some shut eye ;)
the only thing that kept us going was competing. we're like, "let's see who can finish first". hehe.... fun uh? yeah.... but i don't think it would be for long. not if this sorta thing keeps up and i ended "losing" even more sleep over it.
right... think i've ranted enuf 'ere ;p

do you know what time it is????? do you know what the bloody time it is??? 5am that's the time. i think i'm gonna have a backache tmr morning... assuming if i even get to sleep and wake up and then realize that i do have aches...
dbms... curse that bloody subject!! it's been rather fun though... only when we get the answers :) tmr's the presentation... and looks like we just might make it. but i still have to do the user manual... *erghh* that why i hate being in charge of the documentation! it only means i'm the last to sleep... because i have to print the darn thing until everyone hands their stuff to me.... damnit!

[joke/prank of the day]
Teacher saw PENIS written on the blackboard. She rubs it off. Next day it is written bigger. She rubs it again. Next day it was written: MORE U RUB LARGER IT GROWS.
o_0 what a joke... to play on a teacher ;p
[malaysian style]
WHEN ASKING SOMEONE TO LOWER THEIR VOICE.
Britons: Excuse me, but could you please lower your voice, I'm trying to concentrate over here.
Malaysians: Shaddap lah!
WHEN ASSESSING A TIGHT SITUATION.
Britons: We seem to be in a bit of a predicament at the moment.
Malaysians: Die-lah!!

no more exams, no need to study til a couple of months, but that ain't too bad either. unlike this semester. at least now i know what to expect and will be prepared for the next semester. however, still stuck with the project work. got an extension though. ONE bloody day? well better than nothing right? yep!
well then... off to catch get backers, episode 22. took so long to dowload. i've had 23 - 28 for almost 2 weeks. watched 21 and had to wait til 22 to finish downloading :)
mwahahahahahaha XD

it's the end...
the end of my studies.. the end of my exam tmr which i'm gonna flunk... the end of even bothering to attempt to pass my degree.. i'm just gonna die soon.
i tried to study the today at the library. out of 6 hr spent there, i think i only made use of 1... maybe even 2? it has really sucked and for the first time i actually think i might not even be able to do the exam tmr... bad news indeed. and to think this is one subject, if just say i could study today, i might be able to do well. looks like it's gonna be just as bad as yesterday's paper..
oh well.. it's only an exam isn't it? -_^

said exam sucked... majorly sucked.
see, there's 4 questions you're a suppose to do. section a - 2 compulsory, and section b 4 questions choose 2. right, so in section a, both question were related. in order to do question 2, you HAVE to do question 1. but hey, when i saw the topic [whilst briefly glancing thru the paper] i was smiling. why? because i knew that particular topic would come out and was assumably prepared.... yeah... or so i thought.
when i came back, after looking through the rest of the questions and deciding which ones i would do in section b, i begin my exam [ie, reading and start thinking!] and guess what... i spent almost 2 bloody hours just on those two questions.. do you know how much time was wasted? 50 marks okay.. and i have 50 more to go in the next 1/2 hour. managed to do some parts for the section b.. or rather whatever i could do in the end because i couldn't have done anymore even if you gave me s'more time. yeah, brain just decided to give up.
in the end... i just hope the person marking my paper [3 people to be exact] can read my writing. oh the horror! however, it seems i was not the only cheese [erm, the cheese that stands alone, cheese?]. most of my friends spent equally as much time as i did on the first 2 questions. well, just hope i can pass... even if it's just on the borderline i don't care. because if i fail, there goes one grade. that means, even if i got an overall 1st-class for my degree, with a failed paper i'll automatically down graded to a 2nd-class upper. and so on.
did i ever mention i hate dbms?
it's over. that's it. no more dbms for the rest of my studying life. [well, i'll make sure there isn't a subject like that when i plan to further my studies] ;p
one more exam paper to go and a project to present on monday. i want a holiday!!! but i can't... because after that, i have a midpoint meeting for my final year project!! i just hope i can pull it off and get away with a good grade for a 1 week's worth of work which is supposedly equivalent to 3 months!
okies... off to watch buffy ;p
and then i complain i don't do well in my exams... yeah... right

[ exams and movies ]
why's everyone so quiet recently? hardly any blogs updated, hardly any visitors anymore ;p and me hardly even updating... maybe it's cause everyone's so busy with life, studies and work.. shouldn't i be doing the same?
well, i guess not. exams just in a couple of days and i need to cram 3 months of work in the next 4 days. not to forgot a certain dbms project which was given 3 months ago, barely even started, and needs to be handed up by next monday. and also after all that from the 26th til the week of 2nd june, i'll need to again produce 3 months of work in 1 week. good uh? i'm so smart sometimes.
*bangs head onto wall*
programming for the internet [pfi] exam on tuesday sucked like hell. the project which was handed up on friday isn't even working. the program i mean. that's what you get when you try to do an assignment given to you 3 months ago in 1 week. i'm a failure at leading groups. i used to be okay nowadays i just plain suck. i'm irresponsible for not running the project like it's suppose to. a leader should be in charge of making sure everything goes smoothly, and not last minute. this is what happens when a person, like me, get a 6 month break from studies and attempts to start college again, this being my final year at that.
whatever i planned before, as in what i should be doing this year hasn't for once followed. friend asked me whether i remembered what my reasons for staying back. one of them anyways... and of course there were many... just that i forgot this one in particular and see what happened, i didn't even take responsibility in making sure i tried to accomplish that one goal. a failure... that's what i am!
i used to think that i could pass easily with just a little effort. it's not the same anymore once you're in your last year. no doubt i never bothered to listen to my lectures when i was in my 1st & 2nd year and still managed to get a credit in those subjects... but now? lazy!! that's what i've become. how am i suppose to study 3 months of work on a subject i absolutely abhor [exagerrating here] in the next 4 days? do you think it's possible? sure, why not. actually i could.. if i spent at least 6 hours a day everday in the library only studying that one subject, forgeting the other one. but then that would mean abandoning the project that will also need my attention in otherwise it would be unfair to other fellow group members to only focus on that and not their exams, isn't it?
this is my bloody last year and i'm wasting it. i should be putting all my effort into it, but i guess with a dash of too much laziness, nothing ever falls into place. laziness, my friends, is the biggest sin ever. or is there another name for it? wait... lemme check.
sloth : aversion to work; laziness.
that's what it is... i took a "seven sins" test last time, and it said that pride is my biggest sin, it also the worst of them all, according to Dante. but i'm pretty sure if i redid it, the results would be sloth. Dante considers the seven sins as offenses against love. really eh? -_^ this is what he categorises them into:
Perverted Love: Pride, Envy, Wrath/Anger
Insufficient Love: Sloth
Excessive Love of Earthly Goods: Avarice/Greed, Gluttony, Lust
so does that mean i'm insufficient of love? i've got love all around me. love from my family, friends... what else is there isn't it? but i doubt that's the reason. but could it really be? the fact that i don't much care anymore for anything that in turn i become lazy? zeal apparently is the antidote for sloth.
Zeal is the energetic response of the heart to God's commands. The other sins work together to deaden the spiritual senses so we first become slow to respond to God and then drift completely into the sleep of complacency.
in a way, it is true. i haven't been praying much to God recently. been neglecting Him all together. hmm... i guess every action has a reaction. as long as i know the source to my problem, it's good. if i didn't, i would be in big trouble isn't it? so if i started my daily devotion to God again as i did before, things won't as bad as it is at the moment? sounds so easy, but i feel it might just be like the proverbial said than done. perhaps.
well, to learn more about Dante's views on the seven sins, you can always check it out here. interesting really... might just find the solution to your current problem eh?
***
matrix, yes i would have to come to that eventually, was a blast. good friend of mine managed to buy tickets for me on the 13th, two days before official screening, and got pretty good seats for a prime time show. while watching it, i was telling myself... "this is so cool... this is so cool!!. and it was. neo was absolutely droolworthy. :þ~ he and his cool black sunglasses, cool big black long coat... super cool fighting sequences... *sigh*
anyone got another word for "cool" to spare? i think i've over used it already. except for a minor disappointment in one or two scenes where the characters looked rather obviously animated.. it was good. the story line was interesting... and the ending came in as a bit of a surprise. not the end end, but the part before the end. don't wanna spoil it for those who haven't caught it yet, so i shall stop here.
and end this entry i shall for now. need to get some studying done as well. hopefully... there might be hope. i see some light for the moment. maybe because Dante has shed some for me to see :)
ciao.

[of movies and mothers]
okay, so i've been relaxing the last two days... sleeping and doing anything except work. hehe... some sorta pay back to the last couple of days i suppose. and speaking of movies... i just watched final destination 2. man, that was one gross movie!! never have i ever felt so sick after watching a series of freak accidents that we just so... bleh! but i loved it though :þ the way they died was just so cool!
what's with the movies these days anyways? they've really come up with the worse ways a person could die. have you seen ghost ship? oh yeah... that's another one. never have i seen an idea so original. i had my hands all over my mouth going "oh my god" as i watched one of the actors die. mwahahaha... it was good! better than a horror movie.
hmm... so it's sunday... 11th... 4 more days to the release of The Matrix. that means... 2 more days before i have to line up to buy movie tickets. *grins* i went up to the guy at the ticket counter and asked him when's the earliest i could buy tickets to watch Matrix, and he told me since it's suppose to be 2 days in advance, that means monday midnight. or rather... 12am on tuesday. but not like i'm actually gonna go there at THAT time just to buy tickets. heh.. not that crazy :P however... i'll just have to find a way to buy 'em first thing the next morning. BUT... i have college and how am i suppose to do that?? time to look for people. hehe! ;)
since it's sunday, this also means it's mother's day. yes, to all of you reading this and forgot... GO BUY YOUR MOTHERS A GIFT... quick ;) or give 'em a call. there's nothing a mother could want more than simplest of things from their children. i was listening to the radio this morning the dj was listing out the top 5 things mothers want [actual survey done]. one of them was to spend quality time with their children. the number one i think was... mother's wanted their children to always be happy and safe and etc. imagine... what they want is the best for their children. and it's something not for themselves.
awwww... isn't that sweet! mothers are just too nice... deep down anyways :) no matter how much they may irritate us, nag us to hell, scold us over the smallest things, tell us what's good for us when we already know... for the nth time... you just gotta love them in the end. you know why? because out of the blue, after all the anxiety they put us through, they go and do something and you just don't have a valid reason to hate them anymore. it's those lil' surprises that makes us thank god for the mother we have and wished we could take all the bad things we said to them back.
yes, you know how we think they know nothing... and they might... and how they just don't seem to understand us. well, we just gotta remind our selves to be patient. to have the power to suffer with fortitude; the uncomplaining endurance of evils or wrongs. hahaha... it ain't that bad lar! :) once you get the hang of it.
so anyways, happy mother's day to all mothers out there... to your mother... and to mine too ;)
okay, so i've been relaxing the last two days... sleeping and doing anything except work. hehe... some sorta pay back to the last couple of days i suppose. and speaking of movies... i just watched final destination 2. man, that was one gross movie!! never have i ever felt so sick after watching a series of freak accidents that we just so... bleh! but i loved it though :þ the way they died was just so cool!
what's with the movies these days anyways? they've really come up with the worse ways a person could die. have you seen ghost ship? oh yeah... that's another one. never have i seen an idea so original. i had my hands all over my mouth going "oh my god" as i watched one of the actors die. mwahahaha... it was good! better than a horror movie.

okay.. so i did sleep at the 10-something last night and overslept a little and was almost late for my presentation at 9am. some theory i wanted to test. sheesh... well, as soon as i ploped myself into bed, the next thing i remember was my mother waking me up and telling me a whole bunch of things that i, for the life of me, can't remember even now!
so like i said, i was late and all. was suppose to leave the house at 8.15 and my mom gives me a call at 8 saying "so, are you ready yet? i'll be home to pick you up in a few." and of course i was like "huh? shit... i'm late!".
and after all that time we spent doing this particular project. spending sleepless nights and meeting up for countless of hours at cafes, we'd made a few booboos. our presentation didn't go as smoothly as we expected it to be... though it ain't that bad, if you like only getting an average after spending so much time on a project only to be told it's okay in 20 minutes.
what did we get out of all this besides almost useless diagrams and a very simple program? 4 people looking like pandas. contrasting darker color skin around eyes compared to original skin color... what my dad refers to as "zorro". right...
well, in the end... i have one positive thing to say: 1 down, 2 to go!
~~~
on to something else shall we? :)
look look.... finally had time to refine the layout. did another picture [though the same, but it really isn't i tells ya!] and added the other background bit. AND.... if you'd notice this other link at the end of each entry, it's called am deprived of comments, it's where you, the reader, can leave a comment. but only IF you want to. no obligations, and i don't really care of the content. flame, praise... just wanna say hi.
i just checked out that i have visitors [ones who come back] from australia, malaysia and brunei so far. i had one from sweden but i think it was an accidental click to my blog site because apparently he/she was searching for a site on google for "japanese, johnny english" and recently i had an entry with "johnny english" in it and musta mentioned "japanese" in there somewhere. then just today i had one from singapore. clicked onto [uninvited] at the main blogger page.
so... my friends, the lesson that we have learned today is that.. the net is quite cool. and how/where people go.. is also quite cool ;) and i used to wonder why i hated networking??? sheesh.
before i leave, the comment thing, yeah... it'd be quite cool [starting to sound a lil' corny] to know who's visiting from where and why/how?
ciao!

BUSY i have been the last couple of days.. and what's even more interesting is the fact that if you count now as 10pm, then i've been awake for the last 38 hrs.. :) not much actually... wanna see how far i can go though.
but i won't be able to do that since i need to leave the house by 7.30 in the morn for college etc. why haven't i slept yet?? you wonder. well, simple. last minute project work. due tmr obviously. so we [my friends & i] camped at another friend's place for the entire night/morning [umm... 12 hrs ago?] looking at the screens of our laptops.. in my case, doing UML. the worst kind of object modelling to exist. do you know how many hundred times we had to change the bloody diagrams over and over and over... i think you get the point.
so, we didn't sleep a wink.. and i'm still quite energetic. but don't ask me to read anything because it wouldn't make any sense to me. even if it went along the lines of "i am jane and i like apples".
see.. i didn't even have enough time to complete the layout for my "beloved" matrix blog. *hmmph*
well, i ain't gonna to sleep yet. still too early man. only 10pm !!! wanna test a theory... or rather try out an experiment. me being the test object of course. will give you the results the next time to see if my hipotesis, whereby if i stayed up for two nights in a row without any sleep doesn't degrade my brain to mush... is true or not.
stay tuned... til then my friends. i'm off to watch the tube :)

it is 8.59am and i'm i college.... "doing what at such an unearthly hour?" one may ask. well, you see... i didn't have much of a choice. plans were to only be here around 10am.
however, with such privileges as having laptop [should be refered to as notebook since it gets too bloody hot to put on your lap] and when your college has finally gone hi-tech [well, they have to since it's an IT college] and decided to provide wireless internet for FREE for students... i ain't complaining :)
while i wait here for my friend to go through the usual morning hell [ie, traffic jam] i decided to blog until she arrives. well, it's been a good long while since i said anything useful anyways. but then again, there is no rule stated that blogs are suppose to BE useful. so rubbish, perhaps, it shall be once again.
ever thought of dying? yeah, what a way to start the day/week. dying. i'm sure you do! i do. in fact i was thinking about it last night... when i couldn't fall asleep since it was TOO early [ie, 12-someting-am]. with SARS happening around asia these days, i don't mind having it and dying. hahaha... i dun really care to live anymore but hold on a sec, i'm not gonna commit suicide here so relax.
BUT, when i think that if i died, i think about my mother and then i don't want to die anymore. who's gonna take care of her if i'm gone? :p sure there's my brothers... but then, they ARE my brothers. geddit? it's not the same with having a daughter because you know how [assuming you DO know] only women can understand other women? yep, so it's like that. and then of course, no parent should ever bury their child. sounds familiar? have you watched lord of the rings 2? ahh... i see we're finally getting somewhere!
kinda selfish of me isn't it! :) i have no regrets if i died today. that's probably because i haven't experience life enough to know what i WOULD regret/miss. or perhaps it's the fact that i don't care anymore!! :þ
yeah, so like love is suppose to be the greatest thing the world. and the point is? and then like having a child of your own. ermm... right. and the world doesn't already have enough abandoned children trying to survive. what about making loadsa monnies? hahaha... uh hmm... and that is suppose to buy me... ?
not to say i don't want any of the above. but at this point, when i don't have/need/want any of the above, i don't care if i never did :) in a way, it's like still being ignorant. not knowing what it feels like to have it so we don't know how much people desire 'em.
right... i'm so full of nonsense once again. i think i should stick to writing rubbish. that way it looks like i'm having fun all the time. *whoo hooo*
have a good day y'all! :O)
