    bad encounter

    today collected a pair of 石欣卉 and 黄靖伦 concert tix ^^
     
    meetin @4pm for some FYP demo
    damn!!! i really gotta 'say somethin' bout this PhD student
    Dr. P!!! b4 d meetin met him n other masters student coming in
    n he said " KO, go open d door lah" =_=
    damn bossy sia...
     
    during d demo... ..."KO, take picture of all these modules" =_=
    "for wat?"
    "for ur report lo"
    "i don need them now. i'll take them another day"
    "take now, i wan them"
    walao eh~~ really jialat lo this PhD student =_= 
     
    n when i was happily talking with d fashion consultant...
    "KO, go to d front n take picture of d interface"
    argh!!! really beh tahan him =_=
    pictures also need ppl to help him take... ...so useless oh? =_=
     
    d demo din go well tho... ...a lot of software probs...
    n when asked by another prof wats all these bout... y this n tat happen...
    Dr. P called another masters student to explain...
    超级jialat lo... i wanted to ask Dr. CK if Dr. P even knows wat is gg on with d proj.
     
    at d end of d demo i was taking some pics of d prototype...
    when Dr. P suddenly walked over n said "KO, so ur design failed"
    ARGHHH!!! 明明就是你的software出问题,还要赖我的设计
    i just smiled w/o any reply tho, cos i assume this PhD's brain is only filled with rubbish =_=
    d profs n Dr. CK passed my design n d Dr. P said my design was a failure?
    holy carp~~ (carp is a type of big fish if u dunno =p)
     
    n Dr. P said will help me claim my fyp expenses
    but after i gv him my receipts
    he ask me go ask ard how to claim for d fyp fund...
    s*** then i gv him d receipt for wat?
    totally hopeless =_=
     
    luckily got Dr. CK ard
    always ask me if i needed any help
    n also offers a helpin hand n sol. when i needed 1
    ps, sometimes we just simply cant resist it but talk behind Dr. P's back haha~~
    so i wonder y Dr. P can even get to become a PhD student when he is so useless n not helpful at all?
     
    okie so i just wasted my time complainin bout some useless ppl
    damn... tmr i'll blog bout somethin gd =)

    " XXX, will u marry me? "
    oh man~~ so sweet ^^

    vday is ard d corner
    preperations r also surroundin me
    tho i'd really love to plan for tat day
    n celeb with someone i like
     
    *

    *
     
    no date yet =\
     
    Cos nobody wants to be the last one there
    Cos everyone wants to feel like someone cares
    Someone to love with my life in their hands
    There's gotta be somebody for me like that

    Cos nobody wants to do it on their own
    And everyone wants to know they're not alone
    There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
    There's gotta be somebody for me out there
     
    Cheers~~
    n hope for d best ^^

    Life is a maze, n love is a riddle

    都一段时间没去想了
    但朋友还是说我迫切
     
    如果迫切,就不用等到今天了
     
    但是最近就突然很想有个喜欢的人陪伴
     
    最近喜欢上很多抒情歌
    可能是被音乐感动了吧
     
    最近很多单身都找到另一半
    祝福他们,可能是羡慕吧
     
    最近在巴士上看到一对情侣唱歌
    心里也很想跟喜欢的人一起唱
     
    最近有人问起最后一次谈恋爱
    都一段时间了,可能是怀念吧
     
    最近听了一些朋友的爱情故事
    可能只能听,没什么可以分享
     
    最近都一个人在房间
    可能是寂寞吧
     
    最近朋友提起2月14,才发现
    原来也没有真正庆祝过情人节
    没买过花,没订过餐厅
    也没策划过要怎么度过
     
    最近因为MSN NICK
    很多朋友前来关心
    感觉吧,就放上去
    但还是要谢谢大家的关心
     
    I'm just a little bit caught in d middle
    Life is a maze, n Red heart is a riddle
    I dunno where to go
    cant do it alone
    I've tried, but i dunno y
