HELLO.

Everything seems to be out of order. For starters, there's my internet modem server. Ever since yesterday, it has been attempting to drive me up the wall by loading majority of the pages on the server bloody slowly. It supposedly improved today, but then the bottom of my tagboard has become non-existent. ARGGHH. Then, there was the stove, in the kitchen. The knobs were stuck. I went in to de-fray Ling's friendship ribbons and I tried twisting the knob in. Then, after all the effort, when I tried to switch the thing off, IT WOULDN'T TURN BACK. *panic* I freaked and ran to the DH's room. Dear Iswatii ran back out and half-yanked-half-turned it back. Then I realized that the candle I'd lit HAD GONE OUT. So poor Iswatii had to help me turn the thing back again. GAH. And not just the knobs, the bloody fire-starter-knob thingy also refused to start the fire. So for the first few times as we struggled with the manual starter, the kitchen was choked with the smell of gasoline. EEEKK. After that, enter the television outside in the hall. When we switched the thing on, there was this 'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-sssssssssssssssssssssss' sound coming out of the back of it. Ying said that it sounded like the noise a bomb or wired contraption would make before exploding, so we switched it off and waited for Father to come home. Father switched the thing on and listened to the sound. After 5 seconds, he switched it off and unplugged the thing. All the high-quality sound system wasted liao, lah. And I have to bear with the amplifier in the room. I CANNOT STAND THE BLOODY AMPLIFIER!!! Really. Let's have an example of what high-quality concert-standard Dolby Digital sound effect I get. In the Matrix, I have a BANG from a Sentinel's gunshot. Then from the amplifier, I get a BOOM. wtf. It was even worse with Take the Lead, and all that hiphop music and multiple salsa beats:( Following it's comrades is the counter light in the kitchen again. Before the thing went wonkers, the stove light also died on me. So I have NO LIGHT when I'm cooking instant noodles, which leads me to having to lean over the steam to see if the water is boiling yet. Grrrrr. And then now that the counter light has also gone- as Mr Methias loves to put it- kaput, it is pitch dark when we are demonstrating our culinary prowess. Oh well. Perhaps with all this temptation going haywire, I will now be cut off from distractions and will be able to start on Geography. Heh. P.S. Bloody ****. The tagboards now show the "Cannot find Server" page. Heck. P.S. 2. Geography comes a close second to being as interesting as MW History:) |
