It finally had to happen

My trusty camera, which has outlived a computer, a PS2 and an iPod Mini (i.e. very bloody old) has finally decided to keel over, make funny whirring noises upon starting up and collapse :( Spare me the ugly jokes... it's been said, done and beaten into a bloody pulp ;)
I suppose technology has a rather blunt way of telling me I'm morbidly out of date and should probably get to replacing the old hunk of metal with a brand new spanking, shiny one with enough functions to possibly boot up Photoshop on my machine from a remote location.
I had memorable moments with that camera; the fun, the kink and then some ;)
I might just have to arrange a proper burial for my digicam.
And then there's the issue of getting a new one, sigh.

Goodbye WoW Beta key. That is all.

World Cup FEVER!
Sunday, June 11, 2006
The crowd is restless, high on adrenaline and pushed to the edge of frenzy excitement. The players are vicious; in both skill and the drive to win (the non-too-subtle dirty plays, eh?). The goalkeepers are so determined they dive face first after the incoming football approaching at comet-like speed and hang on to it while embracing it in a protective, fetal position cocoon. So much so you could mistake the football for their own jewels as they desperately hang on like the very continual survival of the human race depended on it. Salute! ;)
Don't really expect anything but "GOAL!" and/or a mouthful of profanity since I've jumped on the merry bandwagon of borderlining a football hooligan as the hectic, giddy buzz of the World Cup tournaments rumble onto my TV screen at the wee hours in the morning.
The only thing less exciting and horribly uninspiring during football matches are the OSIM ads. Or rather, the one OSIM ad that's not entirely arousing but particularly disturbing being shown over and over... and over again. Really, iGallop? OSIM might as well be trying to sell a sybian masquerading as a "Core and Abs Exerciser" for the whole family.
In all honesty, I've actually sat on one of those before... and I'm referring to the OSIM iGallop, not the sybian ;) The promoter sat me side-saddled on one of those contraptions (which, quite frankly takes the term "grinding at inanimate objects" to new heights) while chatting me up. Thirty minutes, one interesting conversation and a graceful dismount later, the only thing that got a work out was my stiff backbone as I tried to keep a proper posture while attempting to keep my body from flailing about too much and to NOT fall off the iGallop like a clumsy twat.
Needless to say, I didn't buy that poor excuse for a sybian/horse/exercise machine.
I do not need a machine that bounces me up and down which ultimately just looks like I'm trying relentlessly hard to seduce the empty, sweaty air in the room around me and be oh-so-naughty and intimate with my exercise equipment. But I digress.
Actually, I really don't know why I'm still blogging.
Back to World Cup xD For the record, England didn't deserve that goal. Suck it up you England fans, that match was intensely rotten :P
Can't wait for tomorrow's match: Japan vs. Australia! However, I think I may just cry when Japan goes up against Brazil.

I am so looking forward to X3: The Last Stand. OMG! OMG!
*cough*HughJackmanFamkeJanssen*cough*yummy*cough* :D
So utterly excited I couldn't really go to bed last night lol xD I realize that I'm a massive geek. I have come to terms with that :P
I'm incoherent. I'm not sure I'll make it past dinner without bouncing off the walls and have a serious case of nonsensical verbal diarrhea.
Since I'm ranting and raving, not that it's an alien concept, my camera charger finally arrived. I've been waiting since my saturday night rendezvous. Pictures! :D Hooray!
Hopefully we'll get a few drunk ones at Chris' place tonight ;) If we don't pass out right after the movie that is. Wonder if we can take a midnight plunge into her pool, hmm. But honestly, I've done my fair share of cam whoring for the day. None that I'm about to post them here. It's all boring, those meaningless poser shots, really.
I've finally decided that growing my fingernails out is too much of a hassle only because they took a big shit on my typing speed. I know, I'm bad :(
You have to realize by now that I've phased out of my historical romance mood. My insolent lack of regard towards censorship regarding the colorful language I normally use and impertinent sarcasm will grace my posts once again.
I'm still punctuation happy. I don't know, don't ask.
Six more hours to X3!

omgosh!! my lappie arrived!! <3
FINALLY xD
i was about to go cross-eyed from spamming refresh on the fedex tracking page and staring at the screen too hard :/
i felt all giddy when i snatched the parcel box from my living room floor and proceeded to gleefully tear it to pieces before lifting up my... *dramatic sigh* beautiful lappie <3
i think i cuddled with it for a moment or two xD
*cough*
no pics... because i'm a dork and left my charger in madison -_-
speaking of chargers, the power supply for my lappie is unbelievably hugeee O.o
the sucky part is that i can't charge my lappie because of the difference in the sockets :/ so off i scuttled to one utama to get the converter earlier tonight ^^;
30 minutes later, standing tall and feeling proud of my efficiency (or desperation, it's a point of view thing) in getting my lappie set up, i bend over to pop the converter into the socket...
only to find that i got the wrong one xD
in my haste, instead of getting the one which converts from the u.s. to the malaysian socket size, i got the converter that converted everything else to the u.s. socket -_-
EAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!! nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
i'm going to sit in my corner and cry now :*/
well, thankfully it still had 3 hours of battery life... so at least i could take a peek and see what my baby had installed for me :D
what i had found instead was a myriad of beautiful wallpapers, pictures from his razr (bluetooth? i see what you did there ;)) and a long, poignant conversation that made my heart swell and ache with love, pride and unabashed sentimentality with each passing sentence ^^; <3
even writing that out made me feel all emo ;)
i think i'll have to go attack a pillow and cuddle it to death now xD
i should get back to my css coding...
it's going to be a lonnng night ;/
but it's all good... i'm munching on my keropok ikan (fish crackers) to keep myself awake and hoping that i won't get grease all over my dad's lappie's keys ;/ and i have no idea how i'm going to be able to sit through tomorrow's statistical process control seminar without having my head swing face first onto the table and into my own puddle of drool... -_-
with that said, i hope my dad never reads my blog :p
that or until i run out of deranged excuses to pull out of my ass as to why the keropok ikan disappears so quickly... ;)
