Got back my laptop 6 days after i dropped it off at the service center. So many stuffs to whine about, but let's forget it. As long as it's back in one piece, and still operational. Spent the whole of today trying to re-install as many software it once had as possible. As expected, they had cleaned the whole hard disk, and didn't even bother to partition it, so i have only a C drive. Internet browser sometimes runs a little slow, and imeem player doesn't work, like 85% of the time. Fingerprint Navigator still doesn't work. Pffft.

Updated my language bar. Downloaded Internet Explorer 7, Windows Live Messenger, Messenger Plus, Windows Media Player 11 and iTunes, Quicktime Player and Adobe Flash Player/Reader. Didn't managed to find Microsoft Office anywhere to download. My sister said hers is with a friend, and earliest i can get is next Saturday. If i remember correctly, i have 2 presentations and a report to submit by next Friday.

Wonderful.

That's 2 things that won't be the same again..

Was at one of my usual toilets in school when i came up with this random thought.

For the case of toilets which are hardly used:

Would they be clean because of the low frequency in users?
Or would they be dirty because the cleaners wouldn't bother to constantly clean them, knowing well that no many people uses those toilets anyway?


And as for the case of overused toilets:

Would they be kept in a clean condition to appease the toilet-goers?
Or would they be dirty just because theres a lot of in out activity?


I feel that every one of those thesis are very much possible. I guess it would depend on the general location of those toilets? Comparing canteen 1's toilet with, let's say, an easily accessable Changi Terminal 1 toilet. Both toilets would definately see the most percentage of toilet users as compared to the other toilets in that same area. But of course, Changi Airport gets alot of tourists coming in everyday, so the toilets there would be like, impressive all the time.. whereas canteen 1's toilet probably gets cleaned only when the crowd thins out.

Just a thought.


Oh by the way, i'm extremely disappointed with the toilets in Singapore Expo. Total letdown.

it is true that nothing lasts forever.
everyone wishes things never change when circumstances are in their favor.
there's no point entertaining any hope, 'cause it will just turn out to be false.
the only way through this is to get used to it, then move on.

yeah, that sure was easy to type out.
let's see you actually do it.
call me dumb, foolish and stubborn.
tell me there's no chance, no reason and no second chances.

but the one thing you can't do, is explain why i'm still hanging on.


then again.. neither can i.
