(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!
