Remember how ive told you about my incessant bad luck with technology? Ranging from things like my psp issues to my phone issues and what not, well now, by some stroke of shit, ive been hit by bad luck for my camera. When i plug my camera into my laptop, its always working fine, always detects it and im able to transfer whatever, but today, when i plug it in, it doesnt recognize any photos inside my camera. But i can totally see all the photos when im looking through my camera, it just doesnt show up when plugged into my computer. Ive spent the last 45 minutes racking what's left of my brain at this unearthly hour trying to figure out just what the hell is wrong with my camera and my karma. Ive come up a thousand possibilities but none of them amount to anything logical or possible. One of my explanations is that some asshole put a voodoo curse on my today while i was out. The other, is that, i accidentally deleted an important folder in the memory card that disallows the card to display any pictures. The final one is that somehow, my computer is unable to detect my memory card cos ive got 2 of the same, and both of them can't be detected, but another memory card of another brand can be detected. How does any of that make up to anything logical?! There is no one anywhere who can explain this problem to me. I swear im the only sad unlucky guy in the world who suffers these kind of technical difficulties. Honestly, find me someone who encounters something like this and we'll cry together, but till then, i'll be crying alone. pfft. Im just cursed with technology. I should become a silly ommish farm boy who knows not what a camera is. tsk. I need to stab something. RAWWRR. On sadder light, something really really unbelievable happened this morning. I must warn you though, its not for the faint of heart, so if you squirm easily then i'd honestly suggest that you not read the next couple of lines of this post and skip straight to the afterparts. So this morning i got up thinking it'd be any normal perfect day, i went into the toilet to brush my teeth and what not like i do every morning, halfway through brushing i heard this really sickening crunching sound coming from outside my window, so i shook it off thinking it'd be nothing, i finished up my business, when i stepped out of the toilet, i heard lots of crying coming from outside my window somewhere below my apartment, i got a bit worried, and when i looked out, i swear to god ive never had a bigger shock in my life, someone had commited suicide by jumping off the building, i was not sure what floor it was, but the sight of it was probably the most gruesome thing id ever seen, i couldnt even tell the person's gender, but the worst part is, he or she was staring straight up back at me, almost as if calling me to join the vertical rush of death. You don't truely know death until you stare it in the face, there was blood everywhere, and the person was just lying in a pool of spilled insides and blood. I wish i could tell you i'm joking but i'm not. The worst part is, i had a nightmare a couple nights back exactly like this. You have no idea how scared i was. Liz called me to comfort me soon after, but i was still scared to death. This shit's just traumatizing i swear. And i just got home and found out that it was a woman, who lived on the floor just below mine. Tsk. Of all floors, it just had to be the floor below mine. I now honestly regret and feel bad about the times when i bounced the basketball around the house making a noise below and played the guitar too loud till they could hear it. Sigh. I don't think i'll be able to sleep tonight. Well, God rest her soul. Its things like these that really make you appreciate life in all its splendor and to not waste any single moment. Carpe diem, viva la vida, eat donuts. Ok no more emo nemo screamo crapota. Cabbed down to peninsular cos i was late to meet Amiel cos i was so distressed over the suicide, grabbed lunch at subway and looked around funan for velcro for his pedal board, and very misleadingly found it at a stationary shop, then headed down to peninsular to check out guitars, he got a daisy chain from some guitar shop and i got a capo from davies. Stopped by some guy's shop to try on a hoodie but i didn't really like it, as i was leaving the guy asked me if i was buying it, i meant to tell him no i'll come back another time, but somehow, he misinterpreted it as sure i'll come back in a while. So he had the illusion that i was coming back. But i didn't. Maybe he put a curse on me to disallow a smooth sailing of my camera. Dammit. I need to work on my karma. Headed down to wheelock soon after 1 to go collect his phone in repair. I was supposed to go meet lynn for shopping but she decided not to cos of time constraints. (its ok lynn, im not angry bout it. honest! <3) So i went to Amiel's house instead. Played on his les paul for a long time and jammed like mad. I took a ton of pictures, but as you know, my camera's being a bitch and not allowing my satisfaction. Camera, i hate you, so much. Thankfully, Amiel had popped my memory card into his laptop right after we took all the photos so he has them in his comp, but theyre taking a hell of a long ass time to transfer to me so i'll put em up another day. After watching numerous stupid youtube videos and music videos of aveneged sevenfold (Amiel loves them) i cabbed to fort canning to meet jiyin for gloforyouth. It was all rainy and i was caught in a slight drizzle. Caught Asher and keith there, they were gonna perform, Finding Michelle were there and so were a few others. And of course, fire away samson were there, coweii's hair was exceptionally thick and gossy, and marcus was his usual self flaunting a makeshift umbrella made out of a manly masculine tweety bird towel. Clap. Joined Jiyin and marcus wandering around before the thing actually started, grace joined us soon after. Muddled around doing nothing and dying from the hot humidity courtesy of the rain, got hungry so me and jiyin scouted for food, managed to steal food from the food tent (i like the food tent) but had no spoons so we couldn't really eat. So we scouted for spoons, eventually found one, i took 2 bites out of the "food" but it tasted like dog food so me and jiyin just left the packet of crap very inconspicuously on the side of the stage. Finding michelle went on, they were great, then fire away samson went on, they were better. Marcus' sticks were totally damaged after their set even though they were newly bought today. I took a chip of it for a souvenir. After marcus' set, we were all very hungry. Like, especially me, i doubt i'll have to explain why. So Jiyin, marcus, grace, mong and me headed to plaza for food. Went crazy on the way there singing loudly and doing stupid things. Finally got there to eat at the basment at some crispy chicken place. Joined by chris and jovel after a bit. I swear, i couldn't recognize chris even though he and i were so close in primary school. He said hi to me and i said hi back but it didnt hit me it was chris until an hour later when it suddenly hit me when he said he was justin's brother. Tsk. I swear my IQ's like, 5. Talked, laughed, gossiped, emoed, played marcus' psp game where you play a ball that gets bigger as it eats more food and is able to split itself up into many different tiny little balls, spectacular. lalala. Then, grace marcus jiyin and me headed up to go walk around seeing shops, insanity as we sang, talked in weird voices and went high. Also did our very own rendition of david cook's always be my baby in which only the lyrics "always be my baby" and "and we'll linger on" were used. Grace cabbed home around 9 and the 3 of us left headed back to the concert, sang along to songs we didn't know by jack and rai, laughed at rai's hilarious indian accent, but eventually fell in love with their music so bought their album. Their recordings don't do them much justice and they sound better when they play acoustic like they did at glo. Left the place and cabbed home soon after. Got back at 11 plus which is honestly scary now considering what happened. Nights will never be the same. I've got a camera problem to try and solve. I'll seeyuh when i seeyuh. ao |
