STUPID POWERPOINT CORRUPTED

I just spent 45 minutes yesterday creatin a beautiful powerpoint for my CFCS presentation tmrw, when after saving, i cant open it again. Sum stupid error abt "unable to access ur file..." and "cant recognize..." Now have to redo everything again... @#$%*!!!

Before dat can open once or twice, i even copied my CFCS partner's slides into mine, but after taking it down to CR1, den got infected by damned "Microsoft Powerpoint.exe" virus when copying seminar slides just now, den cleaned it out with antivirus, den onli cannot reopen powerpoint. I suspect the bloody virus corrupts the last powerpoint dat u modified. Sigh, happened with my blood pressure slides for the juniorHSD meet in October 06. A few seminars oso my batchmates kena dis error.

Yah, this specific virus (and a certain "Surat Untuk Edelin.txt" virus) is runnin wild in the campus computers, Kaspersky and AVG are barely keepin them at bay, with the constant reinfections by a hundred infected pendrives being plugged in an out each day. Makes u think how hard is it to contain an actual viral outbreak where the unsuspecting carrier goes home and spreads the sickness to his family, whom in turn disseminate to their friends etc.

Lesson: get another pendrive (where ur slides arent on) when pluggin into the CR1 computer, which has no internet and thus does not update its virus definitions.

CHUNG ON CLOUD 9

Chung is having a "lovesick syndrome" (not locked-in syndrome, but similar to such a comatose like state) now. He can barely sit still. Very strange sitting with him now, not his usual self anymore. The answer = he's with a girl now!

Ah, i cant remember the last time i had a crush on any girl. When the hormones are rushin thru ur blood and everyday u go to ur workplace, school, meetings and even band practices so eager to just want to glimpse her, or even just say hello. Waahh...dat time on cloud 9, whole week kenot concentrate on study, just terngah-ngah sit there at library thinkin abt her, waiting for weekends to come, or waiting to get back to school.

As the years pass, and after a few..well, let's call it when u realise u "tak ngam" with her, or u push the friendship too far until it crosses the border into sumthin deeper and suddenly she wants out quick and gives u the cold shoulder...u tend to become mellow, more matured and less excited about all these boy-girl stuff. U become pessimistic, expect less and more cautious.

I believe every guy (or girl for dat matter) should be able to enjoy themselves alone, b4 attempting to start a relationship. Be independant, learn to seek love from other sources. To find love in only one person puts a strain on ur partner (and if both of u only just cling to each other, u'd probably isolate both urselves from the world, as we can see with many examplary couples around us everyday, hor...).

Also find a mature partner, sumone who has been thru a few relationships previously so dat they have the experience. A girl who has learnt to be independant, and of course, must be low maintainence.

Peer pressure always pushes us to find a partner. It can be worrying seeing ur friends pair up (and previous "targets" u were slowly building momentum with suddenly pair up with sumone else) and finding urself still single. It gets VERY TIRING to hear and answer the same damned question, "Johan, when ru going to get urself a girl?"

I think its best not to rush it. Shop around a bit, get to know a few girls and find out how girls think and act. Learn from them, how to treat em nicely, what ticks them off, wat is "dat time of the month" etc. In the process, u will get to know urself, what ur likes are, what are ur strengths and weaknesses if u were to start a relationship.

I read sumwhere dat everyone is this world has a soulmate out there. A special person dat u will meet one day. Someone who "ngam" with u, chemistry will flow, and things will just fall into place. If u want to tie Buddhism to it, den everyone has accumulated karma in the past that will play out in the present as u slowly and inevitably link up with girl dat u will meet, and even marry. So, sit back and dun rush, enjoy life, survive housemanship, and den find a girl.

As for Chung, well, i think he's met a girl who's "ngam" with him. I tink they've both stepped gone past friendship, into the realm of...roses and clouds. Dem lucky hor, dat means me left still single. Sabar sabar...

My warmest wishes and gud luck from the 2 of the 3 jibai musketteers (dat sounds like a gud name 4 us huh?). Take it slow bro, treat her well, and well...can Jing and I be ur best menz? Jing give the speech, I pass u de ring :o)
