while i do appreciate classes starting next week, it’s still a bad start to a brand new year.

i have been awake for less than 4 hours, and i am already pissed.

firstly, this instructor of a core module insists that everyone signs up with a yahoo group he has set up for this course we’re taking. i wouldn’t mind, except that yahoo is a mega pain in the ass. mega, i mean it. i had to go through the trauma of signing up yet another account for this purpose, cos i can’t remember the password for the previous yahoo account i had and the id wasn’t exactly mature too. also,which other frequently-used internet account requires you to sign in again and again for almost every other button you click when you are already signed in? besides, that means downloading course documents from edventure and checking the yahoo group for announcements and discussions (which probably leads to another 1,573 times of keying in your password to “sign in”). .

secondly, my internet connection is extremely cranky and sluggish today. and i have quite a few things to settle online.

thirdly, i am suffering from withdrawal symptoms every diary-less person experiences. i am so lost without the diary. scraps of paper here and there noting down tuition lesson slots and chunks of timings and appointments in my mind, none of which seems very concrete. those who are supposed to meet me this week please give friendly reminders in case i forget.

oh yes, my phone is ready for collection. today’s the 3rd of jan, my phone’s first birthday and it’s spent in the phone hospital. how depressing. but i don’t know when i’m collecting it, so for those who wanna msg me (except for miss seah whose no. is etched in my mind for the purpose of frequent s.o.s internet smses, weiwei and moon) please do identify yourself. otherwise i have to a) waste a message to ask you who you are before i reply you. b) scroll down the entire phonebook to look for a matching number.

yeah, samsung did lend me a loan set eventually. still, my next phone’s gonna be a nokia.
