"Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer."

ah i'm back.

Some days back, when i was online, a friend i hadn't spoken to in a long while started talking to me, and it was like this:

Friend: Hey i took a screenshot, could you tell me what this problem is?

..and there was an attachment.

I tried opening it, but norton wouldn't let me. instead of taking the hint, i changed some settings and opened it, cos i was absolutely certain that my friend wanted me to have a look at it.

When i finally opened it, it was disaster. The virus started sending itself to everyone who was online, saying things like "Have a look at my vacation pictures!", "This person looks just like you!" and "Have a look at this picture and tell me if it's good enough for myspace!".

The worst thing was, i couldnt even see all the msn windows that had been opened cos a lot of people were online. I was scared the com would hang but luckily it didn't. I finally managed to close all the invisible windows, but more kept opening cos people were telling me they couldnt open it [smart people who listen to their anti-virus programmes], and poor May opened it! i apologised to everyone who was talking to me and quickly restarted windows.

Then i scanned the com for viruses, and thankfully norton got rid of it [it was probably going"ha i told you!"]. and i deleted it from my received files folder.

Sorry if you got it! especially may! i hope your com's ok!

Argh goodness knows what that virus went around telling everyone. Sorry people.

I wish i could use my common sense more often. I KNOW about stuff like this. Dunno why i went and opened it.

[and i really should trust technology more.]


on a happier note, PW's over! =D

I really have to thank my wonderful group for holding on till the end. We were the 'crisis' group a week and a half or so before submission of the WR. We needed an emergency plan of action, so all 5 of us skipped physics prac [oh shucks i need to get the skill D worksheet] and planned out a whole new WR, which involved scrapping most of the old one. We were completing the WR all the way till wednesday evening, and good ol' laura and jared went to print and bind it. Ok, there were a couple of mistakes and all, but it was pretty good =] and mr chang says we have some chance =S [though i dunno what he thinks we have a chance of]. and OP was much much better! apart from a sweeping statement (lol), it was all very good, and laura, you were good even though you werent holding your script! and our skit and video and brochures and posters were all pretty good too =]

so, laura, reuben, wenjun and jared, thanks loads! we didnt have any conflicts or anything and though we had quite a few bad moments [even at the end, when we discovered that one of the I&R's hadnt been page numbered so all the pages had to be re-numbered], we pulled through and WE'RE FINALLY DONE! =)


P.S. I'm addicted to Boys Like Girls! especially Heels Over Head and Thunder! Thanks, you.
