(G)one(P)laying(A)lready.

GPA. I've gotten my results around a week ago, or maybe more than a week. Not very pleasant to my eyes, I should say. They are kind of bad, but I sort of expected it. On a brighter note, it's over. On a dimmer note, the modules next semester sounded HORRIBLE.

Did I even mentioned that rollerblading is so much tougher than ice-skating? Since I'm here, let me just make a little confession to the one in my heart. Ice-skating, I love you now and forever, and I will never, I repeat, NEVER let a third-party like that ass, Rollerblading, come between the both of us. I rejected rollerblading, and it kicked me in the butt, or rather, my left thigh. A blue-black mark is left there, but fred not, it'll be gone with the wind, like the curiousity I had within it.

Enough of that corny crap. Hahaha! Oh well, I'm not good at ice-skating too! It's just that I'm a teeny weeny bit better at it than rollerblading and I enjoy it much more! :D

Shucks, I forgot what I wanted to add next! Oh! I just remembered.

A little trip down to Acer's and HP's service centre today was really worth it. My friend's Acer laptop's disc tray is working well now, and my HP laptop's disc tray is working great now! Kudos to the heros! I saw the differences in how Acer and HP work.

Acer goes for the more casual type; the route to the service centre was some squeezy back alley and the design of the service centre itself is very normal, nothing outstanding. An LCD TV mounted to the wall showed us advertisements and short films which are honestly, boring. The short films were terrible, production-wise. But that is not the main point. Plastic chairs are neat but squeezy; the service centre's employees are wearing black polo tee and pants. Not friendly enough.

HP has the more professional look; a interestingly designed tunnel brought us to the main building and big signs guided us to where we were heading for. Polite and friendly lady showed us what we were supposed to do and provided me with a form. In the service centre, colourful and welcoming sofas were waving to us. Three different LCD TVs mounted on different walls showed us different entertainments that are worth watching. They played Pink Panther, a movie and Tom and Jerry! Also, to add on to the professional look, everyone was in formal wear, which made the whole place look very smart and creative. I'm lucky I bought HP.

Anyway, I thought I had to put my laptop there for repair for at least three days, like the lady on the phone told me that day. It turns out to be fixed in less than 10 mins! Minus the waiting time though! Hahaha!

I'm going to do something crazy tomorrow. I'm going for a jog at Bishan Stadium with my friend(s). Sims 2, I'm totally looking forward!

World Hunger Relief 2008.

More colours were added into my life during the past week. I got a new phone, went to a class chalet, bought some D.I.Y stuffs to try make new earrings, donated two dollars to World Hunger Relief 2008 and messed up my table. Currently, I am in the mids of watching a Taiwan drama and reading some comics. Colourful eh?

Anyway, I'm listening to some Secondhand Serenade now, thanks to my dear friend, who introduced me to his songs. I heard people saying that his songs are very "emo", but I like his voice. His voice is very comfortable to my ears and very soothing.

Just received a Specialist Card from the Navy, and it looks like I can enjoy some discount and offer off certain things. Speaking about discounts, it brings me back to Marketing. Semester is over, term break is here, but exam results are not out yet. Hoo-boy, now wish me luck for the worst.

For Marketing, I hope I can score well, provided that I pass. For Intro to Media, I was told that everyone passed, but regarding how well I passed, I have no idea at all.

If I'm not wrong, it is time for the O levels for secondary school students once again. To come to think about it, I really enjoyed doing Maths. Compared to Physics and Chemistry, EMaths and AMaths are so simple.

Some things in life are meant to be simple for certain people, and complicated for others. But, without effort, I don't think that everything is simple enough for everyone. Some people think that they have others to help them with their work. However, if effort is not put in by them, it is impossible for them to learn and absorb, not to say complete the job.

My hand hurts, so might continue next time. Tata.
