Xfresh Archive: My Big, Fat, Free, Day...

Mood-of-the-day: The 5 guys sharing 2 pcs between them kept shouting swear words. Go figure...

As I woke up late yesterday morning to the sounds of Morning Crew and their guests, the Malaysian Idol judges, it was Thursdays that reminded me why I once choose not to have blogs. It was ironic that the days I don't look forward to going to classes are the days that I was able to get online.

Deprived of the Internet 3 days a week, I decided that I would do double postings on Fridays and maybe triple on Mondays. I would easily have just taken the Proton and drive to Kelana Jaya (and stop by at Giant hypermarket to get me new shoes!) but the petrol cost would be coming out of my own pocket money (thus, no new shoes).

I did my usual chores while construction guys from the bungalow-building neighbour plastered the brick wall on my side. But for the rest of the day, I played PC Divine Divinity and tackled the html of the other Xfresh templates. Yeah, I turned sleepyhead at the last time I tackled this, but I was getting the hang of each.

There are still some bugs but once it's fixed, I'm keeping the Blue Shards before replacing the template with a different one for every week. Tada...! Okay, it's not something as terrific as yuenqi's" blog (check out his pop-up comment box!) but hey, I'm trying the best I could without taking extra web development classes :P.

I mentioned before that I have a Down syndrome aunt, Cik Jah. Well, Pak Alil confirms that she has cataract on her right eye, and she's having an operation on it today. It doesn't bother me really; we hardly spoke to each other during all those times she was at Home. I talk English while Cik Jah can barely connect 3 or 4 broken Malay because her tongue's born oversized.

Both my mom and sister were concerned how did it all go so they took the trip to KL, leaving me and my lil' bro to digest a chicken dinner. The meat was so tough; the bird must have died in the middle of a seizure. And since ours is the only house on the block who eats food inside their homes, tiny black ants came marching in to seize their share. Personally, I think they're holding a grudge from last Tuesday.

Pretty much, those were the events of my Thursday. Truth to be told, I don't have any classes today but I faked it to go to school so I could get online. Believe me kiddos, if you ever managed get to tertiary-level edu, there are some times you'll be wishing to go to school just to get out of bored days like mine. Here's to hoping my weekend's better.
