Wedding invitation...again??? *dang*

Ughhh, it's here again!
I just dunno why - felt not going to attend any wedding receptions anymore!

Felt tired!

Uh, it was just such a lame excuse huh?

Well, let me be frank with you:
I kinda hate to attend wedding receptions lately.

Why?

Reason 1:
My friends would go with their other half and me - a half on my own!

Reason 2:
My Sunday class is on, so clearly I can't be attending the wedding coz I'll be late for class.
FYI my class starts at 2pm, and it takes about 45 minutes drive to get me there and you wouldn't want me to drive overspeed limit don't you?

Reason 3:
My wardrobe hasn't been refreshed with new lines of clothing! The best 'baju kurung' would be that white-pink baju kurung which I bought last Aidilfitri...

Reason 4:
My brother has booked my car this week, so I don't have any choice since I received the invitation later than the booking made by him. Sorry!

Reason 5:
Oh, I thought the wedding would be next week! Ah, should have reminded me dear!

I know I can't always escape, but it's killing me each time I drag my feet to the weddings...

Arghhh, I can't stand seeing those familiar faces grinning at me! *tongue*

Duh, like I care!! *pouting*

Hey, stop asking that cliche question! Am not gonna answer it tho' - shooooh!

Think this gonna give me nightmare tonite!!!!

~from my POV~

Some of the attended weddings:
Jazlin Ab. Jalal & Erlinna Zaadon's wedding

                                                     

Fun...fun...fun...

Creating the brochure & certs using Publisher was pretty easy and interesting!

I'd always be the one preparing the brochure or the program book for the events organized by my unit/department back then.

Heheheh...when some other people were assigned on that task, all they did was asking for the template from me!
What a pity, huh?
Kenapa? Why?

Malas?
Tak tahu?
Pura-pura tak tahu?

Ntah, I have no idea...

When it comes to computer software or hardware, I'd always be the expert (how expert I was ey?)
I still remember those worried or baffled faces when there's a malfunction with the printer, the Internet connection, the hang computer or even a missing template!
And they'll be calling my name...

Hey, I'm not the IT technician here!
Hahahahahahahhahaa...sabar jer lah...

I'd try my best to solve their problems on my own before I hand them to the IT technicians if things were beyond my control.

Hmm, I'd still remember what my English teacher-cum-Computer teacher back in SMK Senawang:
'Alaaa, jangan takut dengan komputer tu! Kita yang buat dia!'

Yeah, in a way what Mr. Roslan Aziz (1996) said was true!
One should not be afraid of the computer, it won't explode if you wrongly press the key!

*LOL*
Thanks to him - I developed an interest in computer technology because of him!

~from my POV~

OMG!

OMG! OMG!

I was so behind schedule!

I just don't know what I did for the past few weeks.

Quite depressing and I feel like going off - taking a break!

There are so many things that I've got to catch up:
- term paper(s)
- case study (ies)
- proposal *ulpsssss*

- presentation(s)

My, my, my...

God knows how desperate I was each time!\

~from my POV~

p/s: Oh, how I wish I could turn back time and spend my jollygood time with my friends back in Singapore last year!

Visual principle

Hahahahaha...I was so pathetic when it comes to visual principle!
Dr. Ros -  my EDU711 lecturer, was shocked to see my so-called webquest created with such a shocking black and blue combination!

It was pretty difficult to choose the right combination when you the PREVIEW option is absent.
That was my experience using the free Internet-based webquest template developed by AT&T!
(Screw AT&T for its sloppy site!)


Huh, I wonder why must every single shareware now are no longer available for free?
Why must everything is made payable?
Oh, the least would be giving a 30 days trial period!


Looks like I have to pay a visit to the nearest computer centre and start installing software(s) now!
In Shah Alam, it;s quite easy to find a not so pricey centre - the cheapest rate would be RM8/software.


There's a price in everything ey?


~from my POV~

Creating a WEBQUEST?

a quest...
on the Internet?

pergh, what a task ey?
it's quite difficult at first, but then I think I managed to create one
a trial webquest, I suppose!

hmm, one should really know the content of each link before adding it in the quest!
or else, the student won't benefit!

huh, what a task!
well, do give a look at this so plain webquest which I created using the webquest creator available on this http://www.kn.att.com/

here's my trial webquest url: http://www.kn.att.com/wired/fil/pages/webhealthma.html

ZOHO

I was struggling to complete my assignments when suddenly I realized that my MSOffice Applications did not function as usual.
I can't alter my document.
I can't save my document.
I can't start typing in a new document.
All I can do is: view the document.

I panicked - alamak, what to do now?
I dialled my kid brother's number asking what did he do to my Office, but he said he did nothing to it!

Hmm, what went wrong ey?
Could it be the system is infected by Trojan?
Owh, my bad! I didn't install Kaspersky Internet Security yet!
Yeah ryte, blame me for not installing it!

Arggh...what to do now?
I've repeatedly restarting my netbook with the hope Office will operate as usual...
Praying and praying...tension is building up!
Tick tock...tick tock...time is running!

I checked on other applications available on the netbook, tryingto find any applications which can be used in place of MS Word.

Use WordPad...
Alaa...so boring the layout!

Any other application?
Notepad? Alamak...so limited features available!

Eh, still got time to be choosy ey?

Hahahahaha...
Blimey!

"Miss, if you're online you can try ZOHO" a student of mine suggested that to me.
(Thanks to Zulfadhli @UiTM Lendu, Melaka)
What? ZOHO? What is ZOHO? http://writer.zoho.com/

It's actually an online word processor; quite similar to MS Office but it's available online and it offers a lot of interesting features.

So, I started working on my assignment with ZOHO.
But, you really need to familiarize yourself with its features to avoid frustration!

Later that day I discovered the problem with my MSOffice Applications
.... and the problem was: EXPIRED TRIAL PERIOD OF MSOffice 2007!

I didn't realize that I was using a trial application!
Oh, it must be because of the replacement of the HDD last year.
They didn't install the original application instead providing me with the trial pack only!

Huh! Luckily I didn't pay a single cent for the replacement since my netbook was still under warranty that time. Or else, I might go and ask for a refund from them.
Hehehehehe...

All in all, I learnt something new and it can become handy when you need it (plus the Internet connection ok!)
Go and give ZOHO a try and I bet you'll like it!

My foreword...

Another blog is created, another blogger has emerged.
Well, the advancement in technology makes people advance.
However, there are also people who choose to go backward with the help of technology.

Ironic ey?
