.......Yeah.
Guess it's just as always, where we have to wait for the ISPs to fix up every thing. It's unfortunate such things have to happen though! Does cause a few problems surfing the net at times [or actually, it's been going on for the past few days].
Anyway, just a solution I came across from Twitter (http://twitter.com/search?q=singnet)
Thanks to wongjunhao for this post: Singnet users, if you're having problem with web browsing, use proxy proxy.singnet.com.sg with port 8080...
Shouldn't be hard to do that, right? Unless you don't know how to do all those stuff stated above. It's only a temporary fix, btw. Just wait for the ISPs to fix everything... which they better do!
For the use of proxies... search it yourself =/! This "unable to connect" thing is pissing me off. I'll just leave it at that.

'Twas The Time of Festivities
Soooo......
Merry Christmas! [Late]
Happy Boxing Day! [Also late]
and a very, very
Happy New Year! [A little early?]
Might as well just do all in one go so that I don't have to do another one. Hmph.
Interesting that the many holidays these few days are making loads of things hyped up, and some die down. At time of writing, it's less than 4 days to 2010!
Guess there's just too many things going on in everyone's world right now! Celebrating on~~
May be early, but..
What's your New Year's Resolution? ;)

Unanswerable
Whoa, that sure was a strange experience that I just had.
I'll make this quick, my eyes are shutting already.
Why do people do things that they cannot explain later?
Why do people do things, knowing that the end results is not necessarily the best outcome?
Strangely enough, these has happened to me, and just recently, too. It's a weird feeling, but eventually the matter just blows off.
Next up: Are we really as impulsive as we really are?
It really seems that sometimes, just sometimes, people don't seem to be able to control themselves and just fly into a rage after a response, even though there was no hidden intention behind things.
Just like what I had just now, when my response to someone was actually really mild, nothing meant to be offensive, and the other party flies into a rage, asking why my response was so rude.
Imagine my surprise.
Fortunately enough, neither my, nor the other party's went further than that. Not that I would anyway, considering how tough it is to get me angered.
Yet, it sure is very hard to understand some actions done. It sure is intriguing...

One More Candle Is Blown...
And my 18th birthday is past.
How interesting that there has been more surprises in the well wishes I've obtained from people that I never expected?
Moreover, there was blank hope at some areas, and obviously, you can tell how people really are looking at you at that very point.
Of course, it's not like I'm attributing the "I-don't-really-care" attitude to some people, just that I do know some would have. Fact is, some just really don't care.
With the number 18, it's just one more year to go before I really become an "oldie" with no "1" as my starting age. Darn.
Of course, there will always be the wishes that one has, whether it is selfish, or selfless. We'll just have to see if it really happens...

I am an asshole :)
Caught your attention yet? Great.
Never once have I thought of using something really offensive as my title, but I've done it now. It's time to get down to business.
Having some private time of my own in a shared computer room is great, especially when no one comes to disturb you every now and then. Ah, but I digress. Let's return to topic.
I am here and now, attacking myself in the many ways that I possibly can, because there are reasons to do so.
I have:
- disappointed myself
- disappointed people around me
- kept things the way they have been, when there was need for change
Because of the many things I have really done, it just seems like I should really do a nice punch to my abdomen to wake up.
Sure I have in some ways, but there are just so many other areas that I'm sinking deeper into.
Is seeking assistance a sign of weakness? Or is it a sign of strength?
The many secrets one person hides -- is it really a secret that can be held forever? Or must one reveal it in a way or another as time ticks?
That's just the first part of things for this...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And part II begins.
Is being unable to completely speak out, a sign of yet another weakness? Or is it just "shyness" on my part?
I would have loved to voice my opinion over various events and things, yet there are so many ways that I find myself hesitating to do so.
Whether it's because I'll hurt someone, I fear that I will hurt someone, or just plainly that it's stupid to voice it out, I have held back the many comments that I could have made.
It seems like this has just led me further into disaster at times, and it may just bring things up a notch for me now.
Why is it that difficult to actually confide in someone very close to you, even when you know that the person can be fully trusted?
Why is it that the person you confide to first, is normally no one that lives among you?
It's better to speak out at times yes? But why is it hard to do so at times?
The many questions that surface just bring me up to yet more problems, that are in need of answering, by someone, somewhere, somehow.

Only a Matter of Time
"Time is of an essence," is what many people should have heard of.
That's true, we should really treasure each and every moment that we have of our lives, in whatever way we have used it.
The large cauldron of events within just two months of my life have been just a nice load to handle, yet it seems to all just blow past now. Time just goes so quickly, isn't it?
It sure feels like it was March just two days back.
Within the many events, there have been times I needed to just take a breather, yet there were others when I seem to just act on impulse.
Regardless of whichever it was, it seems like time has just provided the opportunities to fix up things I've wanted to fix, and things I've never thought I could have changed.
Some may say that "you cannot turn back certain events," and that's true. Even so, though these things are already etched somewhere, things can still be done. It's just whether you take up that chance, or whether you let it slip past your hands -- just like what I have done several times.
When the 'Golden Time' comes, what is the decision that YOU will make?

Back to Business
After such a long inactivity, seems like there's much to talk about and catch up on. And I'll begin with the most obvious - A's.
Starting off like an airplane suffering from turbulence, and ending off like a ship reaching it's destination on smooth waters, it just seems like a complete wild ride.
No one expected what could come out, and it definitely was one heck of a nice exam to take.
Surprise, surpr-- no, I shouldn't say that. I wasn't at all surprised at the papers. Neither was I disappointed that what I studied so hard for didn't come out, simply being the fact that you never know what Cambridge is up to these days.
Things going in an unexpected turn is what was the most intense, and yet the most exciting event that could have ever happened.
Things that could be written, has been written.
Things that could be done, has been done.
Things that were not, are just another regret etched into our minds.
But as always, we move on.
Now, the final game begins -- the waiting game.
