the part about the auto-flush is in the last para:
the Haze is getting the better of me. think i'm falling sick cus my throat has been like damn painful the past few days. somemore i don't usually get ulcers, the fact that i'm having one in my mouth n0w only reiterates my point.
i wasn't supposed [as in i didn't plan] to wake up that early today cus i'm skipping lecture and tutorial for my cousin's ROM. but i was feeling damn uneasy man. my throat got worse and i have a slight fever. bad weather bad health. yet there's nothing anyone can do to stop the haze except to pay their medical bills.
k that's not so interesting. whatever, i haven't been an interesting blogger anyways. bleah. but i find this damn funny lah... me and yy have this CT groupmate who's kinda queer. he tells us he's a very complicated person. so we were at Spinelli in our school....OH! yy is so dumb! haha...she saw this Spinelli poster at the deck which says $2.10 per cup of Original Spin and got so excited so we decided to go there for our project meeting since we have free shuttle to the University Hall. i didn't really pay attn to the poster but apparently it looked kinda out-dated to my other friend. so we went to order the Spins but they were all 3plus [though still cheaper than the outlets outside school]....we gave a 'sianz' look. so much for being cheapos...haha.
Our project groupmate got lost and ended up quite late. actually i'm partly to blame cus as you know, my sense of direction is warped so i told him it's opp the tennis courts. too bad, it's actually opp the tracks. oops! we started the discussion and we kinda drifted cus we asked him about his family and stuff... and it came to the part where he told us he's a very complicated person and we were like 'ooooooo...' but how?! ' like u've been to jail before?' and he was like 'almost' my god! me and yy stared at each other for awhile but quickly laughed it off. then he also told us he worked at construction sites before with the bangladeshi workers and he always disppear without telling anyone where he goes. die, what if he disappears with our project? lol. that won't happen, but it's quite obvious he's a smart guys. lol. he got like A- for his Soci tutorial...impressive huh....
the part where he suggested our creation of an online-genealogy should be called 'Gene-ster' made us stare at each other AGAIN before breaking into uncontrallable laughter. it's damn lame can. then yy said something like 'hao xia orh..' as in lame in Taiwanese lingo. he was actually serious about it.
after that yy and i went for our New Media tutorial. i think the tutor realised i've been quite inactive during class participation so she picked me to ans one. the thing is i wasn't really prepared so i have to think of something in school which has a bad interface, impromtu. i totally ran outta ideas so i suggested something which is super CMI. i told the class that the auto-flush systems in our school are redundant and it scares the users cus it flushes on it's own even before you finish using it. so if there's a manual button to flush, why fix an auto one? you mean people at our age still forgets to flush after use? i don't know if the tutor acknowleged my point but after saying it i felt pairs of eyes staring we down in a 'what were you thinking' manner. that's when i realised how shitty my example was. even my groupmates shook their heads and hid the faces. they'll forever see me as the 'auto-flush' girl and joke about me over meals......bleah. what a GREAT way to make people remember me.
