some guy who have nothing better to do created this.

...cos i was too tired...dont know why but i slept for the whole afternoon and pass dinner time. went out with mom yesterday morning to harbourfront. ate pastamania there. then went to heartland mall after lunch and went home. i slept from 2pm till about 9pm then i wake up, ate a little, watch a little tv and went back to sleep again at 11pm. yes, im a pig. dont know what happened yesterday that made me sleep so much. maybe its because of the weather......

i woke up with a BANG today. ok i know it sounds a little drama...but its true!!! i was still sleeping in my bed and then suddenly... BANG!!! then i was like: wtf?! "house upstairs renovating, lah" then i looked at the clock: 9:03 AM wtff (what the f**king f**k!!!) so i figured out that i couldnt sleep with all the noise and decided to wake up. went to brush my teeth and for the first time since holiday started, i had a proper breakfast. read newspaper then lunch was ready so went to eat and left the papers on the floor in the room. after lunch returned to room and found that the papers are in a mess. wthh?! (its "what the hell happened" and not "what the helling hell") so i had to rearrange the papers and you know how thick the straits times on saturdays are... so rearranged them and finish reading them about 15mins ago. ------------------------------- my blog posts are getting more boring and i realise that i have an addiction for the "Enter" key on the keyboard and i kept on pressing it while writing this post...resulting in so many lines.... sighs... haiz... ho-hums..............

my SITEX special is up. click here to go. cant believe i got it done so soon. there is a little bit of formatting problem because of the pictures used but im not going to give a damn about it. also, please read from top to bottom instead of bottom to top.

went to SITEX 2004 today. saw many things which i want, but cannot afford...hai wang mei zhi ke...that is look at plums to quench thirst. ok, i know my translation sucks. saw the ipod photo, not to mention the limited U2 edition. then there's also the creative zen micro. im too lazy to blog now about today. i will be doing a "SITEX 2004" special, so look out for it. although it is not really special, posts will be longer and there will be lots of pictures. i will try to get it done by this sunday so look out for it... yeah... thats all for todays entry... wait for tomorrow... ... bye

just one more month and its christmas. not that i hate christmas but think: after christmas, you have less than one week and its back to school (but not this year). that would be the time where i will have to start to sleep earlier and wake up earlier to prepare for the *new school year*. i have been sleeping very late lately...look at the timestamp at the end. actually, i dont know what i am doing online. just visiting some forums, give my comments, do some advertising for my blog. thats it. and it seems to take up so much time. the room is so quiet now...im not getting used to hear myself typing...it seems creepy...so i might as well turn in now.

i just saw the clock. and i thought it was time for lunch.

"shannon, your blog very blank leh" "meaning?" "nothing one...only words...no tagboard...no profile...et cetera et cetera" my blog has nothing?!?!?!?! i update *almost* everyday and it still has nothing?!?!?! i think you should send in your computer for a check-up. i want to know why the hell would you like to see so many things. the main purpose of a blog is the content, not the others that make it up. ok...so its blank??? would you like to see some ads then??? i could sign up for google adsense and make some money off you every month...but i didnt. no tagboard??? i didnt want a tagboard cos some bo liao people would just write rubbish...or all i would see is "just blog hopping"...if you want to comment on my posts, use the "post a comment" link found under some of the posts. if the link is not there, it means that i feel that there is nothing to comment about. before you can make a comment, you must register with blogger, while youre at it, create a blog so i can see how complicated and cluttered-up you want a blog to be. im just tired of tracking people's ip address and flooding it when they post some rubbish there. flooding my ip??? what is that??? well, basically it just EATS up your bandwidth resulting in slow internet connections and if you are using dial-up, you are practically wasting your money. --------------------------------- didnt blog in yesterday cos i was just too sick too look at the computer. sick as in physically sick. had a bad headache and stayed at home the whole day...today also...how boring. may be going to SITEX 2004 tomorrow. as im writing this, there are some childish people on MSN going offline and then back on again...grow up people, youre wearing long pants next year!!!

i went to the lg product support centre at suntec just now. the guy there tells me that my phone is really screwed up. just as i expected, the ribbon cable was broken. and since my phone doesnt have warranty anymore, i would have to pay $33 for the cable and $25 for labour(for those whose maths failed like me, i used a calculator to check and its equals to $58). so i was like "WHAT THE F**K!!! I HAVE TO PAY $25 FOR SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS CONNECTING 2 ENDS OF A CABLE?!?!?!" worst thing is that they do not have the cables in stock and have to order from somewhere which will be shipped here by the end of this week. so i asked if i could buy ONLY the cable (cos i was the one who messed up the cable, so buying another one and fixing it shouldnt be a problem). the guy said "sorry sir, you cant do that as repairing it yourself will void the warranty." "but i dont have anymore warranty!!" "sorry but the cable comes in sort of a package and we must have our technician to install each of the cables" just say that you want to earn another easy $25 lah... then i checked with them: "can i get back my phone on the same day?" "you can, but you must be early as we would need to take about 4 hours to get it done" what bullshit. i can do it in half an hour. so i just left my name and contact number and they would get back to me when they stocked up on the cables, but i dont think i want to get it done there. will try to purchase a cable off the internet and do it myself. way cheaper.

i know you all wont like it but i just have to say it: i have bad news for all of you. and the bad news is????? MY PHONE IS SPOILT!!!! my pretty phone with a mirror in front is spoilt. the lcd isnt working. actually, i think i was the one who screwed it. now i think the ribbon cable connecting to the lcd isnt working. which means that the phone is screwed without the screen. just think, my phone doesnt depend solely on voice commands. so once the lcd's screwed, everythings screwed. will try to get a replacement phone asap (or it would be nice if you all could supply me one) and then a NEW phone soon.

i have been staring at my blank blogger post space for pretty damn long now. you know what i need? i need something remotely interesting to write about. like you know... move me enough to write about it. so you could help by telling me about yet another charity show thats going to be aired. either that or give me $500 and i will be writing about this generous gift (ie. writing about the money, not about you. :P )

Tonight, there will be another charity show: TrueHearts - Community Chest Charity Show 2004. This is like the zillionth time this year. NKF...PSC...How many are there going to be?? All of them are the same. They will have some celebrities doing stunts and then make you part with your money. Take a look at this: "The hosts of this year's TrueHearts, Chew Chor Meng and Diana Ser, will be joined by Hong Kong artiste Nnadia Chan Song Ling. Other local celebrities include Fiona Xie, Edmund Chen, Dasmond Koh, Felicia Chin, Zhang Yaodong, Cavin Soh, Huang Hui, Huang Wenyong, Chen Tianwen, Mai Haowei, Lin Meijiao and Li Meilin. Foreign artistes MayDay, A-Mei and Gao Ling Feng add on to the long list of starry faces." Only highlight of this show is that some of the beneficiaries and students will be performing too. Also, do you realise that the minimum amount to donate is increasing everytime?? Past: $2 - $3 Now: $5 Tonight: $8 Anyway, i may be giving the show a miss as i may be out at Orchard tonight. Taking pictures of the christmas decorations and not forgetting the Buskers Festival (which ends tonight).

ok...so some of you did not get my last joke. i was actually talking about the new NC-16 movie which i wanna watch so much. you know saw??? the one which has the ad that says "warning: avoid watching it with a full stomach". so my brother came home just now after watching saw, or what some might say, seesaw... so here is the ad of the movie...i know its not clear but please dont bitch about it:

Me: what movie did you see? Bro: saw. Me: what movie did you saw? Me: no la. its see la, you kok. Me: so what movie? Bro: saw! Me: its see la, you cb! Bro: i said saw!!! Me: i say see!!!!! Bro: fuck you.

im just puzzled that why must people replace words like "funny" with "farnie" when the number words spelt are exactly the same. if they replace "u" with "you", i can understand. But "farnie" with "funny"?! Some examples: ani - any wae - way aniwae - anyway tudae - today alreadi - already plae - play fer - for onli - only yesterdae - yesterday worse is some of them like to replace "ok" with "okae" and "got" with "gort". And some of them lIkE tO tYpE lIkE tHiS or 1<3 7h15 (like this). i just dont get it...

If you are not from Singapore, and you have a Idol competition in your country, i would like to congratulate you as you have one less competitor. Singapore, or rather young, screaming, female fans have voted a smiling ah beng and a nasal malay into the final 2. Either way, not either one of them will stand a chance of winning World Idol and they will most likely fade into obscurity in the near future. Firstly, we have Taufik. He sings with his nose. Basically, that means he cant sing. End of story. Secondly, we have Sylvester. His pronunciation is horrible, or getting worserer and worserer, looks like somebody who shouldnt represent Singapore and has the "weakest voice" among the top 3. So now im seeing somthing similar on MSN when Jeassea got voted out: Cant believe Olinda was out...etc etc... Congratulations Singapore for voting Olinda out.

There are some among us who do not comprehend the value of satire or freedom of expression or even that other people are entitled to different opinions. There may even be some who do not even understand what satire is, and interpret everything at face value, and are the type given to filing or supporting defamation suits merely to avoid or quell criticism. If any of these descriptions fit you, please go and surf another site. If you are therefore easily offended or outraged by strong language or biting, pointed and premeditated attacks on people and erstwhile values and mores, please SCRAM now. This was Plagiarised from somewhere AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME PLAGIARISING, AND THE THING I PLAGIARISED IS NOT COPYRIGHTED, THEN SCRAM TOO!! Personal relationships and privacy Do not assume that you know everything there is to know about a writer simply because you read their weblog on a regular basis. Any judgements you make will be based on the information they have provided you about themselves, which is probably vague, incomplete or embellished. Whatever opinion you form on them as people, or their life as a whole, is probably best kept to yourself. Remember, you are the reader. An obvious exception to this would be if someone were asking for advice or opinions. Never contact the writer for more details on events or personal information than what they have already provided on the site. Chances are if the information you seek isn't readily available, they have found it too personal or innapropriate to share. If you are close to the person they will eventually tell you privately, so intrusive questions are not necessary, just leave it alone. If you are meant to know, you will. If you have a real life relationship with the writer, remember that communication is very important. First of all let them know that you read their site, especially if they did not tell you personally. If they do not want you reading it, or suddenly stop posting entries, ask them why and if necessary, stop going to the site. It is important that as a friend, relative, co-worker or whatever you may be to the writer, that your presence at their weblog not impede their ability to express themselves. Remember this is their outlet. They may not want you to read certain things they might write about you or others you care about, in order to spare your feelings, avoid drama or maintain their privacy. You should respect this and immediately stop going to the site, and never relay any information you gather at their site to others who might use it against them. If someone writes about you and you don't appreciate it, approach them about it. Try to remain calm and polite. Explain that you are entitled to your privacy as well. There are many compromises that can be reached from using vague nicknames to protect your anonymity, or not mentioning you at all. If you are upset because they are writing negative things about you, be reasonable, try to see if there is a way to resolve the issues and mend your relationship with the writer. If that doesn't seem to be possible, stop going to the website. They will eventually get bored and move on. Offensive language and materials The internet is a place that encourages free and creative expression, and as in any environment where people are given this freedom, conflict may arise. If an author uses language or materials that offend you, leave. Contacting the person or their isp, demanding they remove the content or change their ways is absurd because you are viewing their content of your own free will by visiting their site. Simply stop going there and you won't have to see whatever it is you don't like about the site. An obvious exception to this would be if someone were providing illegal materials, in which case it would be appropriate to complain to their isp or contact authorities.
