Roland, thanks for helping me out with my notebook -- at least i can still recover most of the files that are on my HD. Everything is disastrous. I'm thinking about getting an additional pc for the home, you know, ever since we gave the old desktop away we've been relying on this laptop since. Gosh. Anyway BC's dateline has been extended (i think, thankfully) so i've some time to get my notebook fixed and re-work my solutions again. Oh, and OB. I'm in the midst of sorting out my points and i'll send them over asap (hopefully, sorry). I pray that no one hates me guts right now.

So i'm typing this entry using my dad's notebook because mine is utterly screwed up. This morning i played around with some settings (control panel > system > computer name > network ID) and ended up not being able to log into windows at all. Now i'm stuck with shitloads of work and no computer to use. Oh woe is me! Anyone able to help? Or can someone lend me a pc to use for the time being? Jia lat, jia lat. Windows = Windoze :(

Okay. A little update (more like a rambling post, really). So i'm 3 months into the new school term and life has been treating me fairly well thus far (i say 'fairly well' because one is usually never content with what one has). Workload is manageable (though i still procrastinate half the time, it doesn't quite work out) and schoolmates are mostly friendly, sociable beings -- but after 3 months together cracks have (seemingly) started to surface because people are showing their true colours. To be honest it is scary: you start doubting your own character, wondering what you should do, what step you should next take, whose toes you shouldn't step on, things like that :(
I'm reading the archives again, and i get to the part where Mark says something about putting on a 'mask' when going to school. Which probably means adopting a different persona in school and at home (which i was back then -- quiet self at school, hot-headed girl at home). Perhaps i'm like that still? Anyway. Although he used to tease me a fair bit, i kind of miss him really -- at least he had great work ethic and was a good leader for our team.
I'm reading these emails also, and i recall one from a friend, which he sent over at some bleak point in my life. In it he mentions about 'crossing mental hurdles' and 'learning to ignore the pointless comments people throw at you'. Whenever i'm feeling down i will re-read the email again. Somehow it makes me feel better.
Eventually i've understood that it's very important to have faith in yourself. Shut out all those worthless comments. Don't forget -- when life hands you lemons, make lemonade :)
