$100 Fine! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Man... I'm really screwed! Since Digital Painting class is on Mon, no class on Fri, and I often do my HW over the weekends, Cherlyn and me came up with a system where we take turns to either borrow or renew my rented Wacom tablet on Mondays and Thursdays while Cher can help renew on Fridays since she got singing elective. The tablet has since never left my hand and the IT dep people became very familiar with our routine. They often warn me with unfortunate stories of people getting fined just when a sec has passed the due time due to a mouse click or someone dropping the pen into the elevator gap.

You know what... I broke the record of records according to the guy at the IT dep. I forgot to remind Cher and Cher herself forgot the Thursday renewal. Plus 2 weekend... thats not all... PLUS 2 CNY hols whereby the IT dep will be closed, I can only return on Wed and by then I'm late for 4 days*$20 per day=Tada! A $100 fine!

I tried to plead leniency to the head of the IT dep and turns out only the Chairman can decide to lessen the amt or not.... Hai.... Very pai seh.... The guy at the IT dep already warned me of the danger especially during CNY period and I confidently told him:" Ok one! Dun worry!"

Urgh!!!! Hope it turns out ok....
(P.S My parents DON't know about this!!!!)

New Laptop!

Heyall! This is the firat time I'm blogging with my new laptop! No more ma fan with CS3 installation!!!! (I suck at installing programs beside game lol!) It's a Toshiba M800 Mercury Black which in student price cost me around $2000. I even had a name for it which unconsciouslly popped out when I was caressing me baby and as corny as it may sound, HER name is "Black Beauty". Yeah I know go ahead and laugh!

Funny thing happen today with my laptop. The only problem I have with it so far was it heats up very VERY quickly. Trixie told me maybe I ran too many programmes overtime but the heating noramlly occurs right after I on and I had very few programmes running. So we decided that we should take it for servicing *sob!* I mean, it was literally blowing out hot air like and air conditioner except it not cold! last night I even had to work with the fan constantly blowing at the ventilating unit and because it heats the table too, it scared me so I propped it with a box while working.

I think BB has a mind on its own and maybe it overheard me. Knowing that I intend to bring it to the 'doctor', surprisingly, it did't heat up at all! Not once and not even now! Dunno, maybe the fan- blowing- thingy worked lol or it was just initiation prob. Now I just love it even more and more! BB wan sui!
