The Dark Ages

Can you believe, last night my campus had a power outage? Its ironic considering that this university focuses on engineering discipline and yet power outages happens. They didn't even have the decency to give us a heads up on the power outage.

I was really annoyed when it happened last night, shortly after midnight. I was watching Ugly Betty and poof, there goes the power. I can imagine how frustrated other people were if they were doing some simulation work with their computer.

The thing I'm most concerned was the condition of my computer. Stupid power outages have been known to fried computer parts and alike. Thank goodness its working fine. Though the WIFI network is gone. Have to wait till tomorrow to complain to the IT department.

When the power outage happened, I could hear the students from the whole hostel compound were screaming, shouting and wailing away. Then they started burning fireworks and the sky lit up like it was Independence Day. I was enjoying the show from my vintage point.

Reminded me of the ancient China times when the solar eclipse happened. They would hit drums, make loud noises and burn fireworks to scare off the devil who ate the Sun.

Turn off the electricity and see the savagery of mankind.

Day of Interruptions

Today is just full of interruptions. Tried to do my assignments and projects but so many things kept popping up. Not that I'm complaining. I work better with some sort of disruptions from time to time. I work better with the work and get reward sort of system.

I woke up this morning thinking I could immediately start my assignment but when I turned on my monitor, I realised I haven't finished watching Secret. So I just sat and watched the remaining of the movie. I love the movie. Its so touching and so lovey dovey.

Apparently, Jay Chou doesn't just mumble when he sings. He mumbles when he speaks. I could barely understood what he was talking about so I had to rely on the mandarin subtitles. Yes I could read almost half of it.

Type type away and I realised, I haven't post for yesterday. Blogged blogged blogged leaving my half done assignment aside. Uploaded photos for the post as well and published!

Now I should be able to continue my assignment.

Guess I spoke too soon cause Dan just had to ask me to read Will's post. Casting my assignments further aside, I read the post. Then I got all emotional cause it was a touching post. Comment on his blog and that should be all the interruptions.

Continued doing my assignment and Twin Faghag pm-ed me in GTalk saying, "UGLY BETTY Season 2 out!". Ah crap, not another one~~~ I just couldn't resist and I downloaded it and watched it straight. Arrrgh this assignment is not going anywhere with progress like this!

Here's the best part, all these happened during the first half of the day...

The other half of the day felt like constant bombardment of heat wave or something...
