Scratches And Slashes

I'm blogging from MRT and will finish the post at home. Today totally sucks. I know there were a lot of slacking and free time, but today I learned to never ever lend premium computers to other people, and I learned that the hard way. I lent my MacBook Pro, worth nearly $6000, to Jonta Koga out of sympathy. His hall master Grace Kwee locked up his computer in a closet for exams, and still is not giving back after the exams are over, and no one else wanted to lend Jonta when he needed to complete some important forms. It was returned with a long scratch on the base.

Earlier on Jin Chong had grabbed my computer bag and went around hiding it in various places and tossing it around. Stupid scout. The MacBook Pro screen casing returned with a crack/chip.

I can't believe that people, fellow humans can be like that. It's patently unthinkable. I think it's totally ridiculous that when you lend a computer it returns with problems. The least they could do is take care of it. I honestly do not know what to say. I can't believe that some people can be such bozos. Obviously I am deeply upset. If your laptop costs four or five times the cost of an average Dell, you would understand me. I mean, it's a mac! Creme de la creme. Perfection, precision, excellence. A scratch just spoils everything about is design.

Thank goodness there are always nice people around to get me by. Arul and Vignesh are very practical people, and put everything back into perspective. They explained that it such a small scratch an hardly visible. To me it's very visible, but it's very nice of them to come around and comfort me. I guess they earned their brainy reputation with their practicalness.

Nicholas an Lucas were really nice about it. Lucas very kindly listened to all my rantings and diatribes. Lucas tries to pretend to be mean all day, but he's really nice when he wants to be. Nicholas? What can I say? A priceless friend.

Nicholas to Nico: How about Pascal?
Allister: Isn't that the old programming language
Nicholas: (grinning) Shut up! Pascal is a mathematician

It's hard to not laugh or grin when you talk with Nicholas. Another person whom I cannot help but grin when I talk to is Joel Ong. I think he really did alot for me throughout the year. Everytime it was me against the class, everytime I was fighting alone, he was one of the few people who stood by my side, and I really appreciate it. If I didn't show it, I'm terribly sorry, and I owe you alot. So thanks a zillion Joel! :) Oh, and you and Nicholas also saved me from falling of the funny plank thingy at Port Dickson.

Noel Cheong? Made my life so much more interesting. Thank you!

Elliott Tan? One of the nicest people to me.

I gotta thank all my friends who pulled me through this year. Thank you guys for all the laughs, memories and times we spent together. I can never ever forget all you guys have dome for me. Without you guys, life would be unlivable. I am such an idiot to realize these things so late...
