Chantal bought me a beautiful dark brown bag from her trip down to Malacca, and she got me a pretty bookmark too. We're supposed to go shopping on Monday for clothes and a birthday present for her too. Well... it was supposed to be mutual birthday shopping but she already got me the bag! ^^;
We went to TGIF, and our dinners were sort of...disappointing, I guess. I think the dishes are just too subtle for me to appreciate lol, I just love stuff that's full of flavor. And all the chicken dishes were served with extremely dry, tough chicken breast X.x I had an Ultimate Mudslide to drink though, and I don't know if it's meant for two but it was a huge bowl-ish glass XD It was erm... Kahlua, Bailey's, ice cream and vodka *nods* X3
I remember being very tickled with Chantal's company, but I can't be arsed to recount the evening. XD;

Girl announces that she's the actual reincarnation of Eowyn from Lord of the Rings
I have an announcement to make to the WORLD. First of all I believe in Reincarnation 100%. In fact, that is part of the announcement. I announce to the world: I AM ÉOWYN, LADY OF THE RIDDERMARK!!!! I AM, I AM, I AM!!!! I am not crazy, I am not making it up... it's more than 100% TRUE!!! I don't like lying and I can tell you that right now I'm not lying. I was Eowyn. I remember my family and Gandalf and that snaca Wormtongue. I remember the Mark and I remember Merry and dressing as Dernhelm and slaying the Nazgul. I remember the dark dreams I had (which I didn't want to remember) and the Houses of Healing and Faramir. And I remember a lot of things. I know Arwen now and I remember meeting her in Middle Earth. I know Elfhelm now, in fact, he's my brother and I know Imrahil too (he's my dad). I can tell you more about the history of my country than Tolkien ever knew. By the way, Tolkien was Bilbo. I can tell you pretty much anything you want to know about Middle Earth. If you don't believe me, so what? I don't care because one day, on the other side, you'll meet me and find out I was telling the truth.
Yep, she's the reincarnation of a fictitious character. Not crazy at all, that one.

1:23 pm. | Speaking of interpersonal relationships...
silver dreamsweetly spun:: | more bored!. | silver dreamsweetly spun:: | Muse - Time Is Running Out. |
|
I still don't get it. Sure, I've met some deliriously happy couples who've been going out for the last 6 years or so or whatever, but for the most part the relationships I hear about or observe are so completely tormented I find myself wondering if people are just masochistic. Maybe ONE marriage I've observed consists of partners who are actually still together because they care about one another, and the others are all "for the children" marriages.
I also don't understand this need to be one half of a couple. One reason I don't understand that need is because of the above; I just consider it more trouble than it's worth. Been there, done that, said "what the fuck am I doing with this baby?" when the other shoe dropped, and got the fuck out of there. Life as a single person has always been more fun and fulfilling than life with a partner or even a regular date.
Another reason is that I just place too much importance on being complete on my own. That doesn't mean I don't need friends or acquaintances or colleagues or whatever other social contact there is, because I love my friends. But it just _bugs_ me when people judge their own worth by whether or not they have that "special someone" who "completes" them and "make[s] life worth living". *gag* You have everything you could possibly want except a Significant Other, oh no, your life is meaningless and you're a total failure.
If you think you're desperately incomplete without a Significant Other, you've got bigger problems than being single, is what I'm saying.
Having said that, I'm not completely writing off relationships; I just don't see what all the fuss is about.
And as usual I have no clue what it was I set out to say, although I have a feeling it was supposed to be something along the lines of, "Relationships: why the fuck?"
Thus ends another one of my rambles XD

Took this Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test that jiru_chan linked on her LJ, and my result was INTJ: Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging. Mmkay.
INTJ profiles by: > Marina Margaret Heiss and Joe Butt - Personally I don't really understand what Joe Butt is waffling on about, seems to enjoy hearing himself talk a lot. > David Keirsey > Sandra Krebs Hirsch and Jean Kummerow
I like the profiles and think they're pretty accurate, especially the parts about interpersonal relationships 8D *wonders wtf will read all that*

Got my medical examination forms back ^_^ All's good, as hoped. And I know from a huge battery of blood tests last year that my levels are all perfectly normal, so yay!
I have gained way too much weight since last year >.< I ran for 30 minutes today and did some toning exercises, ugh. I didn't think I'd gained too much weight until I tried on a pair of pants I'd bought last year and omgah baaaaaaaad. Could put them on but couldn't zip them up ;~; Ew ew.
Was a pretty cool day (and it even rained a lot) but I was sweating like a horse after the running x.o That's a good thing though I think.
Wow... 10 days till I go back. I need to e-mail my landlord and tell him what time I'm due to arrive >.>;

I can't even remember what I was watching or who were involved in the scene because what happened cracked me up so much. Anyway, it's two people talking and there are Malay subtitles.
At one point, the dude is like "*somethingsomethingsomething*, period." And the chick repeats, "Period."
The subtitles did this: "*somethingsomethingsomething*, menstruasi." "Menstruasi."
*DIEEEE* XDDD God I love how Malay subtitles just take things so literally.

"It's only going to be an hour" he says. Sure, dad! That was 6 hours ago -.-
Despite my explicitly telling him that I did not want the rewiring done so I could have air-conditioning now, because I hate having strange people in my room, he went ahead and arranged for it anyway. He had a whole year to do this shit! Why pick the time when I'm actually home? Ugh. And why pick TWO WEEKS BEFORE I leave? e.e
He tried to put Miko in the hot, dry backyard without any water, and then got snappy when I picked her up to move her into the indoor garden. "Why must you be so stubborn?!" Why must you be such an idiot?!?!
Then I had to go with my mom to the clinic for a few, and we made the mistake of not chaining Miko up. Miko's smart enough to behave herself till the second you turn her back on her, so when we left she climbed out of the indoor garden, dug out of the garden and ran around for a bit before coming back home all dirty. Argh.
While we were out, they had restored enough electricity that the modem and computers were functional. And my brother sends me the weirdest call ever.
Him: Why don't you just put the modem outside? Me: *thinking he wants to reset it* My door's not locked right now, you can just go in and reset the router if you want. Him: But why don't you just put it outside? Me: I'll put it outside when I'm not using it too, so you can reset it when I'm not around to do it. Him: But why don't you just put it outside? <---- Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my brother's greatest talent is probably repeating himself. Me: *fairly shouting into the phone at this point* Because it's MESSY! Him: Messy, so what? Who cares? Me: Um, I care. I don't want to be tripping all over the wires. Him: Won't trip wan lah, they'll be on the floor! How can you trip over the wires when they're on the floor? Me: ... By WALKING? *hangs up*
*speechless* I mean. Buh. How do you trip on something that's lying on the floor?!?!?!!??! </abuse of punctuation> Do you even know what tripping MEANS, you stupid fuckshit?!
Grumpy Cammy today -_-

+ Get receipt for my fees + Pay rent for the year + Settle my course approval (euuuuuuurrrrgh I hate this process -.-) + Get a new PO Box key and room access card because Elaine lost mine (oops XD ... I have the contract though so I shouldn't have a problem proving it's mine) + Get internet access (probably from Telekom this time since Elaine and Tien said that it was faster than Clearnet) + See an International Student advisor to make sure my Visa application is in order + Submit application + Possibly have to buy a light plastic chest for books and other stuff. (I practically live next to furniture store :D) + Um, buy food >.>;
I think that's about it, and hopefully I haven't forgotten anything. I'm actually suddenly worried that my room might be too small to hold my bass guitar lol. Forgot to check if there was any space under my bed >.>;

I was watching Star this evening, and there was this show called... Parkinson? Something or other, and he had a guest called Lenny Henry. He seems familiar and was so funny on the show.
Somewhere along the line he mentioned that he gets lots of feedback on his website, and it went something like this:
Lenny: And there are these 12-year-old kids writing in, and it's like ... pfffzzggle....vvrrrmzzghhjj....fhgkjahsdkjah LEARN TO SPELL!

I tried the old modem (which only connects one computer at a time) and it worked fine. Tried the router with just my computer plugged in, and it worked just fine. Plugged my brother's computer in... boom. O_o; My dad mentioned that with all the rubbish on my brother's computer, it may be possible that he has dialers that are disrupting the connection.
Yeek. Anyone else think that might be the problem?

Phone tech hasn't come, the lady who answered the phone said she'd send a tech and call me back with a time. It's been an hour and a half since then.
I wanted to do my medical, only to discover that I don't have passport photographs to go on the application. askjdhaksjhdakjsh. Will take pictures tomorrow and go to the clinic on Monday.
My mom was going to get a bank draft to pay my fees, but then decided to get it done on Monday morning when she can get the most current rates. Or something. I actually think an electronic transfer might be better, because I have to leave in two weeks and I'm not sure if a) the payment will get there by 10th February which is the deadline and b) if they can mail me the receipt before I leave on the 13th. I should probably just tell them that I need a receipt but will pick it up myself when I arrive.
*sigh* The day's been a lot less productive than I wanted it to be. And I'm getting nervous. I traveled home alone at the end of last year but I've never gone to NZ by myself. And quite frankly I have such a terrible sense of direction I wouldn't be surprised if I got lost -.-

Called a radiologist for my X-Ray certificate, and it turned out that they've also been certified to do the medical checkup. Also, they appear to have a lot of experience with this.
Me: And I understand that he's a radiologist? Her: ...Are you a student going to New Zealand? Me: ...Yeah. XD
Apparently the tests will take about a week *crosses fingers*. I really shouldn't have left it so late -.-
Also called my telephone service provider, and the technician said he'd stop by tomorrow morning ^_^v

Can you spot my hotlinked picture? XD
And in case the page doesn't load (because it's full of pictures and media and whatever-shit, the hotlinked URL now leads to: http://phoenixdreams.slashcity.net/w/findmyself_large.gif

I'm looking at some new picture of Keita, and I noticed that for some reason or other, his pants have this silver... button... thing sewed into the bottom of the zipper. Like on the outside, where the cloth covers the actual zipper.
What is that, really? It's like this round spot of silver sticking out like a sore thumb on a sea of blue. I mean, is the point to have a reflective crotch? You look at it wrong and AHHH BLIND!

My connection is bitching again, so I have to entertain myself. Please note I did not write this as a message or a nudgewinkhint to all the meme-ers on my Flist. I am just very bored. XD
Warning: Lameness ahead! ---------------------------------------------------- Oh yes, I used to be a meme whore But I ain't meme-ing no more It used to be that I couldn't get enough Now they don't even make me laugh
It may have been the constant repetition That caused me to stop paying attention Maybe it's because the memes are made by fools With bad gramer and spealing cuz their coolz
Or maybe I'm tired of memes making no sense They're all written through a crack-colored lens And just when I think it can't get worse for sure Here's another repeat with crappier pictures
How many "which Jrocker likes you" memes could you make Just one more "who bonks Gackt" meme I can't take Any moment now MemeGen is gonna break And then I'm gonna celebrate, hey!
The world shall be memeless, memefree No more "me and Miyavi kissing in a tree!" So start now, say "No", say "Memefree forever" today! ------------
PS: Do not take this personally. Meme away, damnit.

It was doing it again this morning. So I called my ISP, and when I told them that the line is noisy, they said it might be a problem with the phone line and to call my phone service provider. I did, and neither party has called my dad yet so I don't know what's up with that. But like yesterday, the line is back up and running smoothly after 3pm. What is up with that?
Randomly, it's like 10 minutes to 4pm and my dad hasn't come home with lunch yet... I called him an hour ago and he said he'd be 45 minutes. Yargh.
