    • To my colleagues who behave like pricks

      Stop thinking that I'm there to babysit your emotions, and stop making those stupid, sarcastic remarks. If you think it was witty, let me tell you it's nothing more than verbal diarrhea.

      I really don't give a flying shit 'bout you and your teenage life, so get off my back.

    • To my best friend

      I'm sorry I wish I could say much more when you were upset with me. I was already digging into my brains when you said you dislike me (things people say to other when they're upset, I understand), but I really couldn't find anything beyond a weak sorry. 

      It's probably something to do with my emotional state; I'm so devoid of it I can hardly feel my legs.

      xoxo,

      Detached

    • To xxxxxxxx

      Even though I hated it with such fervor, I tried to do it to the best of my ability, so I may frigging rest my head on the pillow at night - able to face my own conscience.

      But time and time again, you screwed me even when I was doing the right thing; the necessary. So now, I'm gonna say f it, and I won't ever give a shit anymore.

      Thanks really, that was my turning point. And screw yourself.

      With love,

      Detached

      you're looking from the students' point of view whereas i'm looking from the employee's point of view..

      haha..

      nonetheless since it's a misunderstanding..

      Since SMU started till now..

      more than 50% of the students are already being head-hunted by various companies even before they graduated..

      that's the prospective i'm looking at..

      rather than the educational ranking whereby NUS is no 8 and NTU is around no 20 in world ranking from a news article which i've read last yr. correct me if i'm wrong..

      but actually i dun really care..

      haha..

      as long as each individual can get high income can already..

      Cheers..

      I'm gonna get revenue instead of income..

      Eh NUS ranked 8th in the world? So Harvard ranked -1000 icon_lol.gif

      I'm not sure of your sources and I'm not too generous with giving benefit of doubt.

      Anyway, lets be gracious and not turn TS' agony thread into some debate. If you're keen on discussing this, open another thread/or pm me, then I'd humor you :P

      Maybe i wasn't truthful to him at all.

      In e way, i dun epxress my love for him. For e.g I dun say I love u to him.

      It's only when he's gone, I said it to him for the first and last.


      Well, friend. People are generally like this, always complacent and taking things for granted. Let this be a lesson, and hopefully when the next guy comes along, you'd know how to cherish things.

      There're tons of 'getting-over-it' articles online, but I'd encourage you to recover at your own pace. Don't try too hard - one day when you're in the shower and the radio plays a song that reminds you of him... and you can smile at the memory... then you know you've moved on icon_biggrin.gif

      The past made us, let this experience mould you into a better person.

      maybe it's sterotyping..but when you look at the image and position of each and various universities in singapore..

      smu stood out..

      having said that..

      i believe TS will know what do.


      I did quote the part that I feel it's stereotypical, didn't I? Read carefully icon_biggrin.gif

      Pardon my cynicism, but do you happen to be a SMU student? Well, NUS/NTU and the various universities in partnership with SIM sure enjoy a higher ranking than SMU icon_lol.gif

      Not trying to be rude nor trying to burst your bubble here, I'm merely presenting facts and my opinion.

      Peace icon_biggrin.gif

      although the peers might be more or less around the same age, but don't worry about their behaviour and thinking as it's a good private uni..

      can say that it's the top choice for adults..


      That's stereotypical.

      For that matter, wherever you go, there're bound to have such people around. I disagree with your 'defeatist' outlook, if TS were to be caught in the same situation after she transfers, does that mean she would need to bail again?

      If there's a problem, solve it - don't run away.

    • I'd say pay no mind to these kids.

      Soleachip got it entirely right when she said that older kids in school usually have lesser problems; they're often looked up upon as big brothers/sisters and usually mix well with the other age groups.

      If TS is not getting that kind of rapport/respect, I'd kinda suspect that TS might be a li'l too introvert (if not reluctant), thus she got stuck in such undesirable situation. 

      TS should try to socialize a tad more, and use whatever age advantage you have to befriend others, subsequently, move on to another group of friends. I'm not inciting you to look at this as a popularity show, your focus should be on your degree; but what worrying is that your current predicament might affect your group work. Working with people you can hardly tolerate is quite unbearable, I understand.

      Do yourself a favor, the next time when you walk into class, instead of heading straight to your usual group of bitches (pardon me!), move around a li'l and get friendly with people. You could start by flashing a smile and just saying hi, whatever you're comfortable with. Just don't appear to try too hard.

    • Think 'bout it this way...

      Every guy would have to go through this 'transition period', for those who are going into courses not relevant to their diploma (i.e. IT dip grad going into banking and finance), the learning curve is even steeper.

      A direct entry into year 2 means that you've gotta catch up with 1 year worth of syllabus; which also means that your classmates who had been through year 1, they have a stronger foundation than you. Understanding that NTU courses are 3 years direct honors (Correct me if I'm wrong), TS might not even get a 3rd class honors if this goes on.

      Now you guys understand the gravity of this situation, you should not have asked him to spend the entire day at the cinema icon_lol.gif

      Time to make friends, TS.. And get them to help you with your course, it's good to have a study partner to pace and motivate you.. Find a study style you're comfortable and confident with, and start working on the books..

      I just ended this shortlived 2 months relationship.

      Somehow I wasn't sure of my feelings for him cos i feel he's more like a brother to me. But I agreed to give both of us a chance and entered this relationship.

      I initiated breakup for 3 times during this relationship cos he made me angry. But well, those weren't really what i really want. I jus said it out of spite.

      So recently,he asked for a breakup.

      His reason is simply he lost faith in both of us.

      I did salavge this relationship but it doesn't seem to work.

      I asked him for a chance yet he dun wan to give me.

      I'm also angry with him for not trying to overcome this obstacle and jus give up on a relationship like that.

      I gave him chances for those breakup i iniated. Why is it so unfair that he dun wan to give me a chance.

      I wanted to try patching up. But it's also my ego that's stopping me from doing so.

      Well, all my friends was shocked that i wanna try patching up with him cos they said it's not worth it to.

      Wat should i do? I really really love him.

      haiz. it's such a sad thing that when i start loving him, he starts losing faith.

      Everything just go in opposite direction.

      Now, do all of you think he will ask for a patch up? *i really hope he does. HAIZ*

       

      Do you really love him? Or is this about your comfort zone and wounded pride?

      Giving you the benefit of doubt, I'd still advise you to move on.

      This whole thing had been, pardon me, quite a clown show from the start. From your "just-trying-out" to your multiple threats, pardon me again, your actions proved juvenile and your disregards to the relationship.

      You complained that he had been unfair... Well actually, it had been just, for the three times you called it over, he came back pleading with you for a chance to salvage whatever you guys had left... You had 3 chances then, to realize your mistakes and to set this thing straight...

      You mentioned that he has been ignoring you, he's either probably too busy trying to get over it or already had lost interest in this whole thing. Right now, your best bet is to put aside your pride, apologize and befriend him again. If that doesn't work, then it's time for you to learn a hard lesson and move on.

      Life is a harsh teacher, thread more carefully next time icon_biggrin.gif

      Install VobSub or VSFilter/DirectVobSub, rename the subtitle file to the same name as the video file but with the extension .srt(or.sub). Example:
      video.avi
      video.srt

      Play the AVI with your favorite software video player and the subtitles should appear. You should also see a green arrow in the system tray, right click on it to change subtitles settings.


      Done that, didn't work too....
