Had the IES screening today. Wasnt as ‘bad’ as I expected but was ok. Wasted 40min in line while waiting for print jobs to be sent in school. And I was 3rd in queue. Printing under SengCity just plain sux crap now. Well at least from the computers at engin side. Takes so freaking long to send the print jobs to the printers. I NEVER recalled having this problem before EVER. The worse I had was some guy printing pratically a ream of paper full of notes. And it was like multiple copies. Some idiot and his friend never print notes and then comes an open book test then they print the note. Freaking idiots. Then there’s the fire drill later. More time wasting. I havent had a decent rest in quite a while. Life sux. No mood to do anywork. Well time to binge on ice cream then….

Had CS2102 and CS2103 tutorials, Database Systems and Software Engineering respectively, I think :P They were okay.

So here are the links I mentioned. Short post but so what :P Just need to post these links before I forget :P

Well it was IES AGM today. Elected as IT head :P so I’m no longer the IT Assistant’s Head as I would put it :P

Tiring day but had a nice dinner with the 16th IES Exco. Its been an enjoyable year w/ the 16th Exco hopefully the 17th Exco will be just as fun :D

Its been a tiring few days. IES old book sale and IES interviewing for the next main committee. It was the worse yesterday. 10-2 lecture, 2-4 book sale duty, 4 onwards interviewing.
Dang tiring. Had more today that more or less ‘killed’ my free Wednesday :(
Printing at school is pretty dismall nowadays. Its freaking slow and the queues dont help matters. Sigh.. At least the spot at E2 is still ok :) And now I have a new print service for the same charge and its only a few doors away :D Thank Wein!! :D

Interviewing not to bad. Not as tiring as yesterday. But now I need to start working for school. Lab tomorrow from 6-9 PM!!!! :'(
2-3 tutorial, 3-5 lecture, 5 onwards meeting supervisor for 1 module, 6-9 lab :S
SWAN programming
Going to be a loooooooong day tomorrow. Back to ‘studying’

Hello Kitty is 30 years old??!?!?! Heard on the TV for the news preview. I guess I’ll find out at 930pm just before The Amazing Race

Okay back to work while watching tv :P

Lecture in 2hrs. Been kind of a boring week as most lectures are just introductions to the course all the formalities of the details of exams, labs, tutorials and such.
Nothing much to say I guess. Spent most of the time in lecture doing my other work commitments :P And playing of course :P

One annoying thing that has bugged me since yesterday. I restarted my laptop and then Windows says that a new device has been detected on my PS/2 port. The thing is nothing is connected to my PS/2 port. Out of curiousity I just let Windows install the proper drivers and find out it detects a mouse… The ‘mouse’ it detects is actually the TrackPoint. Yes thats the official name I think. It’s the pointing device you see on all IBM notebooks (I could be wrong though), you know that ‘red dot’ in the middle of the keyboard that you use as a joystick in a way to move your mouse. Also called the “little red dot” or “nipple” (I think, or maybe thats a term that some how just appeared :P). But in my case its blue :P Anyway I have to extra buttons for my TrackPoint that are usually configured for scroll up and scroll down. However due to driver installation Windows thinks its a 3 button mouse…. My scrolls dont work anymore and it annoys me. I uninstalled the driver and restarted but its still there. I’ll try uninstall it again later before I shut down comp to go lecture. I hate you Microsoft.. but dont we all know that already? :P

A few links for those bored people like me :P
iPod vs. The Cassette – the name speaks for itself
Summer’s Pop Music Meltdown – kind of disturbing but true
SEC to examine Playboy for boobs – I just like the title they picked :P
Turn Real Life Into A Cartoon – I have to admit it seems so cool (even though its from M$ :P
Windows XP SP2 Impressions – apparently problems with outbound TCP/IP connections. Good thing I didnt instal yet as I didnt have the 2GB free space that it recommends being free before installation :P
Dell Inspiron XPS (Extreme Edition) – I have found the laptop that I want :D Well mainly because of the graphics card :P Found it while looking for TrackPoint

1 day of lectures yesterday and free day today. 3 lectures yesterday. Engineering professionalism which was kind of boring.

Yup. It’s still week 0 (orientation week) but I have a 3hr lecture coming right up. Warcraft 3 tournament going on at Jurong East today. Friends match at 1545. Probably will drop by and see how things are. CRAP!!! I forgot I still need to print out notes for the lecture later :P
