Thought of the day

Somethings should be left unsaid because it serves no purpose.

-this statement is paradoxical because if it is true... it shouldn't be said at all. At least, in the context of it being said right now...

My god! Couldn't believe my EYES! Best results I ever got and its the best results i ever could get.

However, I took a nap in the evening.. and woke up to find 15 missed calls. From my galfriend. I think she did as well as expected. I woke up 2 hours after she called me. And now.. I guess she is angry with me. I don't understand why I couldn't wake up. I didn't set the phone to silent mode. It should have been screaming away. Moreover for 15 times. Unless she left very short calls. I don't know. The truth is. I did not wake. And now she's not happy. Which makes me unhappy. And no results in the world could compensate for the sorrow I feel now. There's an emptiness inside me...All the feelings of happiness and pride has been flushed away. Now it is just me...writing this post. And waiting for a sms that will never come. At least for today. I hope things would be better tomorrow.

Topic : Stupidity of the Online Road Tax Renewal System
I am very fed up and angry over the renewal of road tax system. It is one of the most stubborn and un-userfriendly system I've ever seen. First, it told me that to pay online I must disable the pop-up blocker. I did not. And it redirected me to the first page to login again. My bad. So I disabled the pop-up blocker and tried to login. And guess what? The VERY intelligent system tells me that the record is being accessed by someone else and therefore it does not allow me to access it. Very clever indeed. Your system kicks me out and then says that someone(which is me) is accessing it and does not allow me to go back in! Never mind. Being trained in computers, I understand that the session will timeout and then I can carry on with my business. It took 20-30 minutes to timeout. MY GOD thats so damn long! You could shorten the time out and prompt the user if he is taking too long just like DBS internet banking! Nevermind. I accessed the system again. This time with my pop-up blocker switched off. And now guess what? My wireless connection decided to fail on me and when I refresh, I'm being directed to the start and the same problem again! I cannot access the system! This site has got to be improved. I understand that this is to prevent multiple access to the same record but what are the chances that a record is being accessed by many people. Virtually impossible for private cars.
I suggest that the timeout be changed. Perhaps shortening the time-out to 5-10 minutes would be a good idea. And maybe allow the server to sense that "another party" is trying to access the record and maybe make a decision on whether to terminate the session or not.
I come from a Government Agency too and I know our websites have achieved fame as being irritating, annoying and full of bugs. But this is really scrapping the bottom. Moreover, ALL vehicle owners come to this site.
Thank you for hearing my 2 cents worth.

Wah super pek chek and angry!!!!

folio has been launched!

Finally. I have been waiting for so many months. folio has been launched! folio is a publication by USP which showcases the essays done by our students during the Critical Writing and Thinking module. All USP students have to take this module. And my professor for that mod, Dr Johan Geertsema, editor for folio, chose a paper that i've written to be published! I was so excited! That was in October last year. And just now, in front of the USP staff at chatterbox, some of the writers were presented with a gift voucher and 2x folio. Out of the 8 writers, I know quite a few of them. There was TaiTong...(silent killer..hahaha..dunno just want to add that).. Ranvir from my writing class... Yilan(a close friend of mine who went to USA to study...miss her sometimes)...Yaoyao...Yilan's friend...ok la not really my friend...and Jonathan from my Islam class....That leaves only 2 writers whom I never seen before...but then again..USP is quite a small community...aniway it was a very proud moment. But I was so...i don't know.. panicky? In a way I was not very confident of my writing skills and i think its an absolute miracle that my paper was chosen. But then again, when I wrote the paper, my paper writing skills were at a pinacle... After writing so much throughout that term. I told Dr Johan about what I think, and he comforted me...saying that it was an excellent paper..not perfect..but still good. With that, I let out a sigh of relief... Because, throughout the whole time, Dr Johan and Prof Peter Pang was saying how excellent the papers were and how it impressed the people from Stanford... And I was there...saying "I'm not worthy...." and partly regretting coming for the launch in the first place. Alamak.. dunno la.. look the way I write here...also want to vomit...but oh well...I guess its one of those things that will only happen once in a lifetime. And I'm glad it happened.

And that stupid guangyi ask me for my autograph! when i was the most paiseh...hahaha And wanqi also follow...so funny...And he also say "Wah we have such a high estab driver...I thought you are here for the free food..." TSK!!!!I'm not so greedy ok! hahaha
