Special Entry: Quit Messing With Me!!!

When i knew that your friend is coming to our house, i took an hour off just to do the groceries and get all the stuff required..u didn't ask me to..I FUCKING DID IT MYSELF!!! u know why? BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT YOU, YOUR FRIENDS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE RELATED TO YOU!!! and what did i get in return? ur insults and ur sarcasms..do u think i deserve all these? DO YOU THINK I FUCKING DESERVE ALL THESE???

just because you're my mum, it doesnt give you the rights to poke a finger into every aspect my life..STAY OUT OF MY LIFE IF ALL YOU KNOW IS INSULTING ME!!! i had enough of all this crap and im not going to allow it to happen again..

IF YOU THINK THAT YOUR SON, YAP MING JIE, IS A FUCKING LOSER, YOU BETTER CHANGE YOUR OPINION OF ME!

i love you mum, but is that how you love me? by calling your a piece of junk in front of your friends, is that how you show care and concern for me? do you know how hurt i feel? DO YOU KNOW HOW FUCKING PAINFUL IS IT FOR ME???

by now, u should know why i never want to grow up to be like you and dad..

WTH?! WTH?! WTH?!

WTH?!

i created an entry last night and i witnessed it being posted up with my very own eyes..MY VERY OWN EYES!!! and guess what??? IT'S GONE!!! G-O-N-E!!!

WTH?!

i decided not to post it up again because i cant remember what i had written now..anyway, this morning i slept at 4am and woke up at 8am..u must be wondering why i only slept for 4 hours despite not having any activity in the day..actually, i didn't choose to wake up but i had no choice..still in my dreams, i felt a terrible itch at my right eye..so, i rubbed it a little..however, instead of the itch going away, it intensified..unable to bear the itch anymore, i decided to walk to my kitchen and wash my eye at the sink..damn! it didn't help at all..what could it be, i thought to myself..

i went into the toilet and looked into the mirror..HOLY SHIT!!! something was swelling at the edge of my eye..it's big and red and looked ABSOLUTELY GROSS!!! i was rooted to the spot..what the hell is that?! when i was still a child, my mum used to say that when a guy peeped at a naked lady, something would grow in his eye..man, no way can it happen to me..besides from a couple of magazines with scandily dressed females, i didnt watch anything else..AND I SERIOUSLY DIDN'T PEEP AT ANY LADY!!! without much delay, i quickly went over to the clinic opposite my block..(as usual, the nurse still looks sweet..lol..jjk..=p )

"it's an infection..you must not wear contacts forever.."

WTF?! THAT SERIOUS?! i was taken back by the shock..it's nt a month or two..it's FOREVER!!! DAMN!!!

"haha..i was just joking..you only need to avoid contacts for a week..it's just a minor infection..applying eye drops will do the trick.."

if i had a knife at tt moment, i would have stabbed it deep into the doctor's chest and clawed out his internal organs..what a time to joke when ur patient is dead serious about the medical report..it's not even the least funny..

anyway, my doctor is a humorous guy..it's wasnt the first time i was tricked by him either..if im not wrong, this should be the third time..ha..DAMN YOU, DOC! lol..i guess i never learn my lesson..

As Far As I'm Concerned, I've Failed..

for this 17 years, what have i achieved significantly? the answer is nothing..

while i was pondering over what i should include in my lyrics ystd at KAP's mac, i realize that i couldn't do a shit about it..do u noe y? this is because i don have good command over my languages at all..for the past 10 years, i was taught the proper usage of languages in my primary and secondary schools..for 10 damn years, i have been fooling around and not realizing tt languages could be so important in life..i thought, if i have the right tools for work and a little intelligence, why do i need languages then..sounds relevant ya? if i have e brains to create wonders, y shld i need to know about english and chinese?

i was wrong..i commited this grave mistake for 17 years..languages are so damn important in our lives and we just cant go far without good command of it..languages are tools for effective communication..u need to know how to express urself in the right way so that others can understand your ideas and opinions..if a task can be done by onself, one can succeed even without proper usage of languages..however, what if u need a team to create something really outstanding..if you have poor command in ur languages, ur teammates might not be able to understand u..thus, even if u came out with a reali wonderful idea, it would be a wasted..no one is going to use your idea, no matter how good it is, if they can't understand what ur trying to put across to them..

since i was young, i loved, and was loved by music..i fell in love with singing at e age of 4 and started learning piano at e age of 5..however, i realized something when i was fourteen..not only was i able to express my emotions fluently and clearly through the playing of piano, i was also born with the gift of melody writing..i was rather delighted to discover this talent as it gives me an advantage in the pursue of my greatest dream--becoming a singer..in order to take a step further, i decided to try writing lyrics since there was no excellent lyrist around me..god has already sent me several warnings in e past though mediums known as teachers..however, i just cant be bothered and ignored them..now, i realize how miserable i am..i cant write any fucking verse for a song even when i have an abundance of ideas..that's because i could not find any relevant phrases or words due to my poor command in languages..

if only i have realized it sooner..if only i heed my teachers' advices previously..how regretful..

as far as i'm concerned, i've failed..

regarding my music, i will be taking my grade 8 piano exams this year, in mid september..and guess what? out of the 3 exams pieces that i've chosen, i have only finished learning 2..so that leaves me with 1 piecet? nope, it's actually 2..apparently, my 2nd piece still sounds like a load of crap and requires a great deal of practice..frankly, im nt e least motivated to play the pieces at all..since my break-up with her last year, i've lost my touch in piano playing..i was unable to express myself because i couldnt feel my my music anymore..i tried to regain that touch but it just seemed like an impossible task..now, i fucking hate to hear my piano playing because it sounds so damn disgusting..no feelings, no fluency, u might as well call it shit-playing..

i noe my teacher is reali disappointed and a bit pissed with me because i havent progressed a single bit since april..im stil stuck at e same old spot..im stil fucking playing my pieces wrongly and making the same mistakes over and over again..but what the fuck can i do about it? it's not like i didnt try or anything..i have physical limitations with my wrists, making it harder for me technically..and as time progresses, im more and more aware of my problem..i just cant do it technically..

i just feel like tearing my scores away and tell my teacher that im nt going to take e exams anymore..but i cant do tt..i will disappoint a lot of ppl out dere and also let myself down..with only one and a half month left, what can i possibly do? besides, i stil have my poly exams to handle soon..which area should i put more efforts in? i dont fucking know..piano practising requires a long period of practising while exams requires a shorter period..but with both drawing near, i cant make up mind..i feel so lost..it seems that i still havent come out with e best solution for this situation..hmmm..rather then saying that, y dont i rephrase it? my senses and thoughts are all messed up and i just cant think in e right way..im losing the will..i hope i can wake up before its all too late..

As Far As I'm Concerned, I've Failed..

FUCK! i just cant continue writing this entry anymore..everything doesnt link together and it's a total mess..sorry ppl but i guess i'll continue this next time..i'm nt in e mood right now because i feel quite fucked up now..my apologies for the frequent usage of vulgarities..e more i try to write, the more pathetic i feel because of my english and stuff..haiz..i hope im nt a goner yet..

Turning Seventeen

well, i must reali comment on sth tt attention-seeking freaks out there are denying all the time..when u start a blog, u seriously want ppl to read it..

"i did it just for the sake of expressing myself..i don't need any readers but they just come.."

cmon dudes, time to stuff a little sense into ur tiny brains..u create a blog bcuz u need to unleash those emotions in u, be it happy, sad, excited or devastated..u wan these feelings to be made known to ppl whom u noe so that they can at least try n understand hw u feel..don try to hide it with some stupid lies..if ur reali tt strong emotionally, u wouldn't need a blog in e 1st place (tis onli applies to "expressive blogs")..

i've created a new blog and i want it to be read..however, i don need e whole world to come and peek at my entries..i juz wan a couple of guys out dere who know me n some genuine frens to come c wat i've been up to again, noe hw i feel about things n know mre about me..my entries will be mre direct tis time round so feel free to shoot me if i'm in e wrong or sth ya? regarding my previous blog, i've received feedback tt my entries are mre or less similar to composition writing..ha..however, i've decided not to change my style because i feel that i can relate better to ppl tis way..n pls pardon my language frm time to time as im nt reali good at english..in fact, im reali bad at it..lol..

lets move on..

Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday to Ming Jie,
Happy Birthday to Me!!! =D

lol..tis might seem sick n narcissistic to u but if u onli succeed in noticing the sick part, you're missing out e main pt..
IT IS MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!
lol..i wonder y im getting so excited over tis..perhaps e reason is bcuz no one is celebrating it with me so i need to entertain myself..tis is wat u guys call self-entertaining ya? if u think on e gd side, at least i din indulge in a conversation with my reflection in a mirror..lol..tts wat i call sickening..

today is my birthday and i shld be feeling happy..keywords: shld be..however, im feeling extremely depressed and moody..while i was trying to mingle with my family members, i had to keep up a smile so as not to disappoint them..i hope they will feel happy for the , even if i dont..

enough of the depressing stuff, lets move on to the top 5 events which had happened in my life last year:

1) Broke Up with the Girl I've Loved Wholeheartedly
what more can i say?
regrets, regrets and more regrets..
i probably don't deserve her love in the 1st place bcuz i hurt her so badly..
there's no return..

2) 'O' Levels Preparation
favourite spot: west mall coffee bean
chatting, joking and playing around all the time
challenge my form teacher that i'll get at least an a2 for a maths, b3 for chemistry and physics..
if i lose, he can tear away my testimonial..
final results: a maths-a2, chem-a2, physics-a2

3) 'O' Levels Results
english-b3
e maths-a1
a maths-a2
chemistry-a2
physics-a2
geography-a2
chinese-a2
combined humanities-b4
music-b3

L1R5-10
L1R4-8
quite contented when amount of effort put in is taken into account..

4) Working at Bee Cheng Hiang
my first part-time job (if the mediacorp one-day part time job didnt count)
during the new year period
was an employee for one month
late for work, eating and drinking while bbq-ing, taking breaks frequently..=p

5) Entered Ngee Ann Polytechnic
Business Studies
OG--> Fanantical Masquerade
Form Class--> TB11
TB11 is formed by a bunch of cool teenagers..
can be quite studious and hardworking at times..
completely unlike a typical poly class..
to be it simply, TB11 ROCKS!!!
=D

Montar discos USB externos en carpetas

Una cosa que fastidia de windows, es la asignación de letras a las unidades de disco, que se hace especialmente molesto, cuando tenemos muchas unidades de red asignadas, y al enchufar el usb coge una de esas letras, por lo que no podemos ver esto. Una forma muy elegante de evitar esto es montar los discos USB directamente sobre una carpeta, tal como hace Linux. De esta forma el disco entero, se convierte en una carpeta más. Aquí tenéis cómo se hace esto: CÓMO: Crear y utilizar unidades montadas NTFS.

¿Qué es Linux y el software libre?

Este video es una interesante entrevista a Miguel de Icaza sobre lo que es el software libre y linux, y además de unas interesantes reflexiones sobre las ventajas que para usuarios y administraciones supone la adopción del mismo.

Actualización Automática de Firefox en Ubuntu

Puesto que Firefox se instala sin todos los permisos necesarios, la opción de habilitar actualizaciones automáticas no está disponible. Para solucionarlo hay diversas opciones:

  1. Cambia el directorio /opt/firefox para tener permisos de 'escritura' y poner la propiedad para el usuario en vez de root. Para cambiar la propiedad después de la instalación escriba:

     sudo chown -R usuario:usuario /opt/firefox

    Ésta es la única manera de conseguir que las notificaciones de actualización funcionen, pero haciéndolo tendría implicaciones de seguridad en un entorno multi-usuario, por lo que no es recomendado: un virus o programa malicioso ejecutándose como un usuario podría reemplazar o corromper los archivos en /opt/firefox, lo cual podría afectar a otros usuarios del sistema.

  2. Una alternativa al método de arriba es ejecutar firefox con sudo para obtener las actualizaciones. Esto es, cuando haya actualizaciones disponibles, podrías ejecutar sudo firefox -safe-mode (el safe-mode es una capa extra de protección ya que no cargará ninguna extensión mientras se esté ejecutando con sudo), instalar las actualizaciones (Help -> Check for Updates...), cerrar firefox, y luego reiniciar firefox como usuario normal. NO deberías navegar por otras webs mientras ejecutes firefox con sudo. (El autor no
    sabe si este método es más seguro que el primer método).

  3. Una tercera opción es usar el método 1, pero sólo para actualizaciones: Mantener la propiedad de root en el directorio de firefox y usarlo normalmente hasta que necesitemos actualizarlo, dando entonces propiedad a nuestro usuario: sudo chown -R usuario:usuario /opt/firefox. Ejecutar firefox normalmente y actualizar (Help -> Check for updates...). Una vez que la actualización sea comletada, deberías restaurar la propiedad a root: sudo chown -R root:root /opt/firefox. De nuevo, NO navegues otras webs mientras firefox tenga estos permisos. Ésta es probablemente la mejor opción, aunque también es la más incómoda.

Aquí esta la peque haciendo el signo de que todo va estupendamente. No me digáis que no es una preciosidad el bichito.
Todavía no tenemos muy claro de qué color tendrá los ojos ni el pelo, porque apunta un colorcito pelirrojo muy curioso. Aún es pronto. Posted by Picasa
