Till the fat lady sings

Having the internet is bliss. They gave us a 4-port modem while we wait for the wireless one to arrive.

Anyway, I just came across a news article in some Science & Technology site.
Yes, nerd alert.
*cough*

Anyway, they've found it.
The gene that increases one's susceptibility to obesity.

=O

It reminded me of an old documentary that I've watched... and at the time, they were still searching for the gene (FTO gene).

I recall this massive lady going, "I would feel better if this gene does exist. If it's in our genes, it's not our fault that we're fat."

So basically it's comforting news for her.

Homer Simpson will be happy to hear that too!!

He looks ecstatic =D

Just remember the gene just increases the chances of you getting fat, it doesn't mean it WILL make you super-sized.

Imagine someone stuffing his face with donuts while watching telly going, "Nope, it's not my fault that I don't exercise and live to eat."

Give it to me!!

Here I am in Uni again... blogging.

BECAUSE THEY CUT OFF OUR SUPPOSEDLY 'FREE' DIAL-UP!!

Apparently we exceeded the 200 hours limit.
-___-

Such a slow connection and it's limited.

Brilliant.


Soo Hui was pretty pissed over the long weekend because Friday and Monday were public holidays.
A long weekend and we have to share dial-up.

And on Sunday, the dial-up stopped working!! >O<

So today we walked to Kern (our Internet provider) to demand an explanation.

And guess what? The processing was fine.

It was done exactly on Thursday, just before the long weekend!!

So we actually have ADSL 2+, we just don't have a modem!!

The guy (Jason) went, "alrighty then, let me get you guys the details and the modem."

Upon hearing that, Soo Hui turned to me and said, "I'm really happy" with a straight face on. Kinda like Droopy Dog . . .

Except she doesn't have a tail.

Anyway, they gave us our modem and off we went.
If we had tails, we would have been wagging them all the way home as just the thought of being able to use sweet sweet high speed internet is like doggie paradise~


So we got home and unpacked everything. It took a while but we installed everything and it worked!
HUZZAH!
then it struck us. . . the modem wasn't a wireless one.

WE ASKED FOR A WIRELESS ONE!!


>O<
MEH!

So we walked back to demand another explanation.
And guess what they said?
There's no wireless modem in stock.




Oh joy to the world . . . la la la . . .
someone kill me.

Eggielicious

I was shopping in Woolies on Wednesday and EVERYONE was getting easter choccies!!
Feeling the Easter-y-ness in the air, I bought some chocolate eggies too!! =D

*drool*

I wanted to know how it felt like being the Easter bunny for a day
so I doned a pair of bunny ears and hopped around in class, handing eggs out to my fellow Christian friends.

.

.

.

Of course not!! >.<

Well, I handed them out and maybe semi-hopped *cough* but I have no bunny ears =(
I could use Soo Hui's reindeer ears-horns-thingy but then the Easter Bunny would be upset.

He's a sensitive fella.
And no, I didn't have any myself =(
Mr. Easter Bunny would be proud of me =D

Anyho, I'm officially FREE!! for now.

*prances*

Our two week study break is finally here!! With so much free time, I have no idea what to do!!

What's that you say? Study??
-.-
I'm not a nerd!!

But then again, the first day back and there's a test =__=
Which is why Anatasia calls it a 'crap' study break XD
Don't you love them lecturers?

Is this a joke?? TiSP Google

I'm not sure if any of you've heard of this yet but...

"Google TiSP (BETA) is a fully functional, end-to-end system that provides in-home wireless access by connecting your commode-based TiSP wireless router to one of thousands of TiSP Access Nodes via fiber-optic cable strung through your local municipal sewage lines."

Well, if your toilet becomes clogged, you know why.

mini updates on moi

Here I am again.
In uni, online.. with my darling housemate beside me.
She's supposed to be here to do her research but she's checking out friendster instead.


Typical.





Anyho, a little update about my life.


Sharon lost her mobile phone!! =O
Soo hui's envious cause now Sharon can get a new phone.





My 'practice' presentations went well. The lecturers seemed to be quite impressed with me, especially since I was the only person who didn't have any notes to refer to.


It didn't occur to me that I could prepare notes. I assumed that Aussies don't read from their notes or cue cards but they do. In fact, some of them were really nervous or just kept their eyes on their papers.

*GASP*

Who would have thought!!

And Soo Hui is chatting away and looking at friendster profiles while she waits for replies.
Perhaps I should question her real motive of coming to uni in order to go online.
I wonder what she'll say when she reads this.
Maybe her expression will resemble this ---> (-___-")
