Weird Incidents
Weird Incident #1
I went over to Shujing's room to print some stuff, cos my printer ink went out (it's another long story why i didn't manage to get the ink catridge changed). So, I was walking up to her corridor and i saw a guy standing outside her toilet-mate's room. He looked... depressed, desperate and wasted.
Ok, heck, shan't bother about other people's business. I walked into the room and got acquainted with Shujing's roommate and then proceeded to install Shujing's printer's driver into my computer.
Install, install, install, den out of nowhere, a shout was heard through the wide open door. Three of us was immediately traumatised. That depressed, desperate and wasted guy had shouted a girl's name, until the whole Hall 2 can almost hear him. Still traumatised, we quickly closed the room and tried to calm down, but it didn't help. We were like "who the hell is that!"
Then, that depressed, desperate and wasted guy proceeded to tear up boxes that were left outside the room and was banging on anything he saw. *bing bing bang bang* oh gosh, it was damn scary... For the next half an hour, i didn't leave the room.
Weird Incident #2
Today, I needed to print out the interview qns for my interview session with Dearest Emily Qian. Haha~ so last minute right? oh wells, my printer is down, so i had to print it in the CATI lab in school.
After getting a piece of paper from Kaiying, i went up to the CATI lab. i went into the first CATI lab, and inserted my thumb disk into the computer. sh*t, cannot detect. went to another terminal, still cannot detect. went to another one, f*ck, what the hell? why still cannot detect?
fed up, i went to the next CATI lab, and inserted my thumb disk. HENG ARH, can detect. and den i loaded the document, press print. proceeded to load the piece of paper in the print and waited. *zeh zeh zeh* the document was being printed and den... *horror horror* it's not my file!! it's like some last page to some document. so, i turned my piece of paper around and loaded it into the printer once again. *zeh zeh zeh* i took a look and... *more horrors!* it's still the SAME last page. f*ck! i need to get another piece of paper.
i went to look for kaiying to beg for another piece of paper den went back to the CATI lab. den there was a girl printing her stuff. i waited for her to finish and loaded my document first. den i noticed she took all her papers and went back to her own computer terminal. i pressed printed and wanted to go load my paper into the printer. but being afraid of wasting my paper to print her stuff, i asked her if she's done. and, without even looking at me...
'WAIT!'
wa, the CATI lab is damn quiet one la! i got a shock that she shouted at me. after shouting at me, she went back to her terminal and pressed the print button on her word document. my eyes widen! den i said, "erm, i pressed print already, er, do i go first?"
wa, she looked at me like she's going to kill me, den she diaoed me and voiced the word F*CK. she walked briskly over to the printer and pressed the "cancel job" button and walked back to her terminal.
WHAT THE HECK??!?!?!?!??!?!

Quiet the Gorilla
Ok ok, i know i haven't been updating this blog for a very long while. i've got so much things to write too~ but dun noe which one to touch on. I've got the New Year's Eve (which i celebrated the arrival of another year happily with buddy yh watching the splendid fireworks at the esplanade), i've got the announcement of the sales of tickets for hall prod, i've got things to say about the lecturers for this new sem (my favs being Dr Aquila and Dr Lee Wai Peng, the worst being Lukt and that boosty 104 guy whom i shant bother to remember the name), i've got to mention i'm hurrying out a song for this national song-writing competition which i joined together which two of my frens (uncontracted).
but heck, i shall hav my first post devoted to this play written by Tan Mei Ching call Quiet the Gorilla. i was tidying my room and found my copy of this script and re-read it again. so nice, so inspired, so healthy for the new year. and yea, i'm going to put an excerpt of it on my msn nick. Watch out peeps, go find this script and read it. it's quite a nice lovely short story.
Excerpt from "Quiet the Gorilla" by Tan Mei Ching
SIEW: ...This dream I had. First a kangeroo bounces past me on the street, then a giraffe, then a family of lions, then everybody on the street ran like mad, but I was going the opposite direction, toward the runaway animals. Then came the gorilla. This huge hairy thing that ran down the street. It saw me and came in my direction.
(MIN starts crying again)
MIN: Don't tell me a tragedy right now.
SIEW: No, no, this is good. I ran.
MIN: And was caught. And eaten.
SIEW: No, I ran and the gorilla came after me... Then I realized something, that the radio was playing. So I switched it off. You know what, the gorilla quieted down. It was the radio that was making him mad. Then we celebrated with coffee.
MIN: Why are you telling me all this? What has it got to do with anything?
SIEW: I don't know. Maybe, sometimes we should just switch off the radio and maybe we don't have to fight the gorilla so hard.
MIN: (Crying more)I don't know what the hell you mean.
