I haven't been around for days. Not that I didn't want to, but rather I wasn't able to. For one, prelims are closing in, and I'm down here fretting my kness away trying to figure out everything that needs to be figured out. For two(which, in my opinion, is THE crucial reason for my absence), my laptop was BROKEN.
Nope, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. And nope, I did not use the wrong word. It IS the literal meaning of the words in caps. Quoted from Mr Chan "say what you mean and mean what you say", and so,
my laptop is BROKEN.
Now you may ask, how the hell is it BROKEN? Well, I'm down here as dumbfounded as you are. The metal plate at the battery compartment just cracked and snapped, causing the right hinge to be slightly detached, and it gets aggravated when I pull my screen down. Or rather, seeing it being lift up as I press the screen down is ultra agonizing to me.
So, my laptop is BROKEN, and I can't go online, can't go on MSN. What's worse? The hostel comps are all malfunctioning so right now, if you want to know how it feels like being detached from the world and live like a primitive ape in a cave, you can come and ask me.
Still, I can't help but think that my lappie has a mind of its own. It chooses to give up just when I desperately need this isolation from distractions at this time. So without my lappie functioning and luring me into procrastination, I'm proud to say, that my prelims are just around the corner and I'm in the library studying most of the time. That's simply because there's no more lappie for me to switch on and blast musics out loud.
This is starting to sound cliche, and if you are a frequent blog surfer, you'd by now, have seen it repeating over and over again on other blogs. But I ought to be reminded of it, and so I shall be cliche and remind you - whose time is running out as well, and me - whose time is already speeding away - that
ourtime is
running out! So given only 24hours a day, of which 14 are spent
(hopefully) on studying, 7 on sleeping, and three on eating cum bathing cum stoning, there is actually 24-14-7-3=0 hours for blogging!
That means, if you can't find me anywhere around this swan lake for a continuous period of time, my absence can only be explained by either:
1. I am studying, OR
2. I'm sleeping/eating/bathing/stoning.
Whichever is the case, you still have to applaud, for I manage to get my fingers off the comp.
Before I retreat to oblivion, I changed the song - from Swan Lake to If I Ain't Got You.
And I reinstate. MY LAPTOP IS BROKEN. *criesss!!!!*

Some things were unsaid, do they mean what they ought to mean?
