fantabulous friday
no wait. today is not as fantabulous as wad the title says. it's boring, rather.
woke up at 6.40am today. zammil called me at 6.12am asking me to wake up. i said okay and hung up the phone and went back to sleep all the way till 6.40. haha. then msged fauz, told her that i planned to reach sch at 9am rather than 8.30am.
however, we reached sch at 8.56am. even though we walked like so damn slowly to sch.. reached four minutes earlier. haiz. cldn't reach my target of 9am. hahaha. okay lame.
aneways.. went for the microsoft talk at raffles place dunno wad ntuc building yday. me and fauz were the very first ones to reach there at arnd 8.30am. still must register at the reception. got our sticker badges and went to search for the lift.
at the lift there, there was this security guard at some sort of mrt barrier thingy and we must pass through the barrier to take the lift. to get through, we must key in the 7 digits of our ic and press the # key. so i keyed in 870336 and pressed the # key. the barrier door didnt open. so the security asked me to key in the digits again. did that, door still didnt open. so the security guard asked me for my ic number and keyed it in for me. that's when i realised i keyed in 6 digits instead of 7. it's supposed to be 8703361, however i keyed in 870336. omg. so lame. and finally, i got through the barrier. haha.
the inside of the lift was super nice. full-length mirror, plus there's a small tv also. cool eh. went up all the way to level 21. registered again at the reception desk. got another sticker badge with the word "attendee". we also received this so-called goodie bag, which pathetically contains this mag called MSDN, a microsoft visual cd, a notepad and an evaluation form that we're supposed to fill in. the staff there were very friendly though.
while waiting, we walked around the place. the view from there was fantastic, overlooking esplanade. as time passes by, more ppl started arriving. or rather, more geeks. hahaha. and then, there was this particular geek, standing in a corner, holding his book close to his face. from his appearance and dressing, he reminds me of OS. omg. OS! that freaking teacher! this geek really look like him lor.. with his shirt tucked in his oh-so-high pants, his specs and his black backpack. nightmare sia. and so me and fauz conjured up nicknames for him, while he stood there, reading his book innocently.
names conjured up by the super duper brilliant minds of lyd and fauz:
OS deNephew [from the joke we read abt on the net], sotongball [coz OS is fishball mouth], ISO9009 [coz he looks like a very very smart geek], return of the high pants [coz it's been awhile since we saw OS in sch, and then suddenly nightmare in 3D yday].
the talk started at 9.30am. like real only 9am. bleahx. the emcee was this young chinese guy who speaks like an ang moh. his name's stanley and he's the academic programs manager for microsoft. he's so young lor. like arnd 25 years old, and he's holding such a high position. but i like the way he talks. really good english with an american accent, and it's not like those fake2 ones that ppl tries to do.
his so-called sidekick, name's chewy chong. hahaha. wad a name. chewy. he gave us a talk on how to create messenger bots. something cool. chewy also talks with an american accent. some words, i cldn't even catch it. he also looks around 25 like that? like stanley.
during the 15 minutes break, almost everybody went out of the audi. me and fauz stayed back however. at the next row, OS deNephew was sitting there, still into his book. wonder wad book he was reading.. hmm... hahah. like so bad sia. we disturb innocent ppl. sorry yah. oh btw.. nic, peishan and ziliang cabut from the talk during the break. bad kids ah.. hahaha.
fast forward, the talk ended at 1pm. me and fauz walked to esplanade.. then headed to marina sq and walked2. she bought earrings at diva. then skali i got an attack of the freaking stomach pain. this was stomach pain, not ache. stomach aches is wad i usually get for no reason or rhyme. stomach pain is wad i get.. hmm.. for no reason at all too. haha.
left marina sq at arnd 3.10. took train and headed back to sch. reached sch at around 3.40pm. like did nothing lor.. sit in front of comp, blog, photoshop.. waste time come back to sch..
6pm came and we went off.
okay. that's it. one long post. i think.
bye.
