Another Last Day...

Hey peeps...
it's me again... and thank you for ur continuous support for reading these pieces of crap... haha

so, here it goes:
I've been working long hours for the past few days... and those hours were not as easy as the one before... where I used to have time to update my blog or to do my homework while getting paid... well, those were the days... for the past few days, i have to deal with tons of paperworks, and so much so that i have to work overtime... and lost my voice because of dealing with questions and answers for about 8 hours... yeah...EIGHT hours...

and on Sunday(yesterday), I have to wake up at 8am early in the cold spring morning to work til 12pm... and after that, went to McD to grab my lunch with my buddies, and after lunch, get back to my room, lovely little single room to grab my last baggages and went to my new bigger room in a LOVELY apartment with awesome housemates...

wait, if my memory serves me right, there are 5 of them (not including me in the apartment), they are : Adam, Eric, Daniel, Heather and Adrianne(or Arriane)... All of them(i think) are law students... great ppl...

too bad, dun have the time to really sit down to mingle with them as they are having their finals now...

Moving is really tiring, but then, still have unpacking and all to do. What’s worse is that the need to decide on what to eat for lunch and dinner. Not only that I need to satisfy my craving for good food, but also to meet the target of spending less than $10 a day.

So what’s the best way to save on food and yet be able to get good food? COOK your own food. Yeah… I’m cooking… wanna try?

so, i went to my friends' place to cook... We cooked... 3 dishes... first dish : Vegetables (chinese style), second dish: Simple Stir Fry Chicken...( i cooked this dish...), and Fried Egg...
the dinner was awesome... although the rice is a bit too moist, and a bit lesser than we appreciate, we did enjoy our own-cooked first dinner in Ann Arbor...

So, today, we did it again... but something bad happened since yesterday, something really bad, really depressing, and something really disturbing...

I didn't have my internet connection... that's devastating.. that's catastrophic... that's bad... awful...(sorry for my sounding like a thesaurus...)

i tried to connect to the wireless network connection available at my new apartment since yesterday night around 10pm, but WTF... it just couldn't connect... and worse stll it gave me false hope for several times when it said that i was connected, but data just ain't transfering...

so... i tried divert my attention to the cable tv at the living... surfing thru the 100+ channels.... and watched a bit of Super Millionaire... trying to act smart.. and i did get a few questions... with one of USD$100 000 question... about the name of the most distant object of the Solar System discovered last year...(something like that), and thanks to my Astronomy classes, i have the answer on my fingertips... it's Sedna...

so, after that, watched the NBA playoff... dun really follow NBA... but I watches it once in a while...really a while...

so, still couldn't get my internet connection... tried with virtually everything i can think of, til about 2 am, finally, i gave up and went to sleep...

and woke up this morning, early, at about 8.30am, and went to the fishbowl to use the computer there, and tried to google to resolve my internet problem... after googling thru forums, and downloaded hotfix, winsockxpfix, newer driver... and install it, but still, failed...

met up with my fren Joshua, and thanks to him, he managed to detect that even though i only enabled 1 firewall...SyXXXX firewall, it kinda messed up with the windows firewall... so, i deleted the SyXXXX, and allowed the Windows firewall...

and magically, it works... AWESOME... Joshua just make my day...

the feeling without internet was really bad... I never felt so empty before.. really, i'm like desperate, and aimless without my internet... i think internet is a huge part of my life... really... without internet, is worse than ... can't think of anything worse than that...

in the afternoon, it rained... with mixture of some snow... or izzit snow with mix rain... watever, the point is, u can still find snow in May ... in Ann Arbor, Michigan... wat's wrong with the world??? It's MAY... May and snow don't go together....

later in the afternoon, went to Meijer to get some groceries... and toothpaste...
got a gallon of milk... 2 boxes of cereals... Post Cereals...
:Honey Bunches of Oats
:Banana Nut Crunch.... awesome choice...

came back in the evening... went to my friends' place again to prepare and eat dinner...

awesome day...

so, take care and keep warm.... (just for a few more days according to the weather forecast...so let's hope so..)
