Chris - many days with diff mishaps.. lol.

okayy, sorry that i have not been blogging so far, lots of stuff happened, and i was juz too uber sleepy to actually blog about it.. now, since im alive and feeling good, i shall BLOG!


Wednesday, stayed late in school.. was doing my fyp and decided to take a break adn walk around, which was good and bad in a way.. lol, cause i was supposed to go back early that night, and i came across a problem! a nice technical problem, which jiayi had with her insanely huge 3m by 2m banner, no matter how many times we tried to import/export/twist/wrangle/bargain with the 2d lab comp.. it juz refused to let us import the file and be actually see-able. tried every trick in the book until 11pm, then we left the school, dejected souls are we were.

Thursday -

Fixed many comps again, trying very hard to make windows work on macbooks (insert many unintelligle curse words and mutterings here) then later went back after buying noodles and drinks to help us against totally losing it because of the stubborness of the comp of not letting us work on the banner.

Solution, after thinking about it for a while and asking jiayi why couldnt photoshop do it, then EUREKA! cuz the comp she used at first had no space, but hell, the mac we were using has tons of space and its SO much FASTER! =D (inner mac fanboy on a ball here) then we created the layout and resized the image in photoshop.. the catch in all this solving-ness? a 3-GIG photoshop file, how the hell does it get to be 3gigs!??!?!

so now saving it was even WORSE.. cuz it take forever, took me a while to bargain with the guard to give us more time till we left..

finally left the school at 11pm again.. sent her home cuz it was late.. then as i was walking back, listening happily to me ipod, a white mitsubishi evo juz roared around the corner, hit the kerb and slammed into some hapless primary school's gate. the engine juz let out a huge cloud of steam, then the driver juz walked/woozed out and took a few steps adn collapsed on the floor.

all this happened with me just 3m away, when i saw that, i was like OMG, and im so gonna be late for home.. then i dialed the ambulance.. by this time. some neighbours were out cuz they heard the crash, the dude(driver) was still incoherent and basically spouting rubbish, by saying, "no ambulance, call my friend please cal my friend" and he wanted to drive away with his wrecked car. he was bleeding from the nose. his friend drives up and starts to somewhat freak-out and be pissed at the dude at the same time.

ambulance arrives, police arrives i gotta give statement to police cuz i was the only eyewitness, then i went home..

and.. i called meihua to welcome her back..

yay.. fixed jiayi's uber small router on friday.. yay..




all in a week's work..
