Damn this spell check thingie.... dunno how to use it... Just wasted my last 20 min's worth of blogging. So here i go again.
I was talking about how i was bored some time last week, and came upon sarongpartygirl.blogspot.com and... found myself reading her blog. Not because she posted a picture of her bits online, but rather cos she's a good writer, and posts her honest opinions... rather refreshing, and definitely a better read than xiaxue's blog... (besides the point that xiaxue got slammed for editing spg's foto, and criticising spg but thats besides the point) And then i started thinking: Why would someone want to share their sex life/ pictures with the public? And then get unwanted (or wanted) press, get criticised, get slammed, get their tits modified...
I'm not quite sure how to express whats going on in my mind. But this voyeuristic thing is.. Well im just kinda baffled how someone raised in the "more traditional Asian values" would wanna do something like that. Its just odd.
Anyway yeah i havent been online for awhile cos for some odd reason my laptop just wouldn't boot up. It wouldn't turn on when i pressed the button, whether with or without a/c supply. So after 3 days, (fri sat sun) i took the laptop to the service centre after calling up the helpline. Turns out it might have been due to the battery overcharging (ie when u leave the powersupply on and the battery in the battery port for too long). So after the service person took out the battery and put it back in, it worked. Perfectly. So including cabfare to get there and back i spent... more than 10 bucks and a wasted morning. Thankz. Looks like i'd better be more computer savvy lest i die when some shit happens.
So having a working computer again, i decided to go update myself and read more blogs. And i found xiaokai's blog and haoxiang's blog. And i found myself reading their entries and kinda wishing that instead of crapping out incoherent stuff, i was spewing forth words worth reading, words worth noticing, words worth thinking about, and maybe even words worth remembering. Hey i may be no blog queen (or king) but i do hope my blog's at least remotely interesting.. whether to strangers or to friends. Its like when u write a good essay. You're happy if your friends bother to read it, and happier if its a good piece. So i hope to be improving on my writing. I don't want to be just a mass of scribbles (check out what some guy said about xiaxue scribbling and spg writing). And i need to start writing properly so that i can pick up the pieces of my broken english. Damn the army! (convenient excuse eh)
I wanted to write about DOTA too. About how DOTA has ceased to be my escape button. Well.. Maybe because i've lost the need to escape? Or even better, maybe i've become a more responsible person! Well.. We all need to take action sometimes.. If not all the time. But its so hard. As Henry Ford said, "The hardest thing known to Men is to think. Next is to take action." I probably didn't quote it accurately but i think you all get the idea.
I found my chess set while packing (been packing for the last three days... and my clock too... Transfer chess anyone? Really miss those days pounding on that clock and pushing pawns faster than you could say Jack-Ching-Ba-Da-Bing. Like a frenzied Kasparov on a massive surge of adrenaline, with the world revolving on 64 squares and time measured in milliseconds. Bam-Bam-Bam-Bam! Bishop mates! Bishop mates! Stalling one! Stalling two! Stalling three! Eat that bishop! Sack the queen! Gimme... Checkmate! Woah. Thankz for the Bishop dude... NEXT! Nothing really feels like transfer chess. Its probably the best thing to happen to chess for amateurs like us. Half the class played in sec 2... Whether international or chinese. Just play.
Ok ok its late. Got a lunch tomorrow. And i do hope to get some exercise tomorrow morning so... We'll see how tomorrow goes. Here's a picture of me and my folks at Yosemite. The weather was so good the picture looks like a photoshop edit. Nice huh. Gotta go back there sometime. Nitezz folks!
Gosu rite? Yosemite anyone?
