dashing

three months left before university application opens again next february, a mad dash for my portfolio presentation and other requirements for admissions into school of art, design and media at nanyang technological university. pretty fed up with illustrator crashing on me every now and then, it was not so bad when i learnt my lesson way back in polytechnic to save frequently lest the software fail me, but it gets very annoying when it crashes just before i save my work, tsk..

went to sentosa with my long-time-no-see secondary school mates yesterday, the weather was scorching hot in the afternoon, so while it was fun tossing volleyballs around in different directions; since both sumathi and i were amateurs, standing on the heated sand was totally not fun at all, as what sumathi called it "fire walking". fortunately one of the guys; total strangers i meant to say, taught us to spread the sand away to stand on cooler sand below, neat trick to use for the next visit to the beach! the second half program of the day was kayaking, it was pretty hard to keep up the momentum but still fun nonetheless, proceeded to vivocity for dinner and celebrated carrie's birthday with a huge chocolate banana cake from secret recipe.

and i now officially announce that i fried my playstation 2, well in a certain way, since this freaky sound emanated from it frequently and caused my games to hang while playing, i figured it would not last any longer, time for an upgrade to next generation? in any case, i have one lesser distraction off my greater scheme of things, heh.
