Solitary Confinement


Cloudy Morning to a Rainy Afternoon

Hello i'm back.

Woke up around 10am to my home phone ringing. Dad called and asked me to wake my sis up for bowling training. She woke up, got prepared and left soon after. Won't see her again till at night, as usual.

The sky looked cloudy when i woke up in my living room(i fell asleep there last night). And not long after, it poured heavily. My house got kind of dark and gloomy. Zzzz. Went over to my grandparents' place for lunch, and my grandma cooked dried noodles! Haven't had them for like, 2-3 months? Finally got to eat them again.

Okay, the main joy of the day was that i FINALLY got my ePSX emulator to run Chrono Cross! Swee la! First it couldn't run on ePSXe ver. 1.7, so i downgraded to 1.6. It ran fine, till the character selection screen where everything froze in a black screen. So i googled for solutions, some said it was the PSX Bios at fault, some said game fixes were needed. After searching for some time, i just realised all i needed to do was to run the .exe file with a "-noauto" parameter -.-. Simple thing to do, and it ran well :) If you guys don't know, CC's the popular RPG sequel to Squaresoft's(makers of the FF series too, now they're SquareEnix) Chrono Trigger. Released in 2000, it was one great game. I know its a little late to play a year 2000 game, but who cares? Gamespot rates it a straight 10/10.

I'm controlling myself so i don't play this great game until everything's done and i'm free at night :) So the rest of the day was spent confined in my living room, studying probability and reaction kinetics. Oh, and i submitted my SGC achievements(AT LAST), via email to Mr Hsu(Sorry for the inconvenience, Mr Hsu!). Following that, I played pyramid escape on Bnet with SPC at 4.30pm, its quite a funny custom map, with so many mini games inside. During which, i heard some lady downstairs scolding her child or something. Her tone was really fierce and went something like this.

Lady: I TELL YOU NICELY YOU DON'T WANT DO, NOW I SHOUT AT YOU, THEN YOU LIKE THAT!
Child: *Sobs*
Lady: PIAK!

My hair stood as soon as i heard the sharp slap, i swear. I hope the poor child's alright. The rest of their dialogue was incoherent, so i didn't bother to listen. Sigh, my days nowadays(days days haha) are usually spent alone at home, until late at night(which is like 10pm?) where my parents and sister return from bowling. They're usually too tired to talk and we hardly speak a word to each other. It's been like that for weeks. I hope i don't drift too far from my parents, i hate the fact that i'm always the one they blame when anything goes wrong in the house, even when i'm totally not at fault. I'm getting tired of it, and when they do, i turn a deaf ear. We'll see how things go.

Ooh its almost dinner time. Off to my grandparents' place soon! Having chemistry consultation with Miss Sim tomorrow, 8am(zzz so early) at the air rifle range. Cherylnn and sheeping's coming along too! (better check my earmuffs haha) SPC can't make it, he's got his NS medical checkup. Don't worry, i will try to survive haha.

Okay i guess i'm off! Please do tag if you drop by!
Be back tomorrow, bye!
