Digital clutter

You all know how over the years, clutter tends to pile up in our rooms, may it be old magazines, half used bottles of lotion, and of course the cute but impractical birthday gifts we receive year after year.

Well not only my room is full of that, but my computer too. Recently I tried to format it, but I took ages to tidy up some of the files. Anyway, heres some of the stuff I found all over the computer drives.




Somehow, although it brings back memories of sleepy lectures and hellish nights of no sleep, I cant really bring myself to delete my old lecture slides.





With 3 girls using the same computer, pictures and icons really pile up. There like thousands of these in my pc.





Sigh, my online gaming days... ok I know maple story is one of the lamest ones, but still it was fun playing with friends, and posing for pics with anyone that happens to be around on the same screen.






Yes, and a whole folder full of college assignments... sometimes I find it hard to belive I had the patience to do them, not to mention some of them are like really lame, like the musical science project. Well the drawings were ok, but the music was real lame. Click on the play button to see out attempted animation of the uh, sky...

Warning: Click on the light bulb at own risk(the music got bugs ler..hahah....)

Ok, now my computer is formatted, but the files are far from being sorted out... I guess I will come accross more weird junk deep within folder jungle someday....

Sleep driving

For the 3 of so years that I have been driving, I notice I do tend to doze off at the wheel, especially during the evenings when its rather jam. However this sleep driving habit of mine is getting worse lately. Today I was surfing the internet and came upon this article taken from Drivers.com

Tactics to fight drowsiness
Now a new survey shows some of the tactics drivers resort to in an effort to fight drowsiness on the road. In descending order, the most popular tactics those surveyed said they have used when they have become sleepy while they were driving were:

Stop driving or switching drivers (59.5 percent)
I imagine myself telling my lady passenger, hey mind switching over? You drive, I sleep. I bet I would reach heaven faster... since she has not driven for years. Stop driving... where am I supposed to stop? Its more likely that my car is going to be honked at by motorists.

Open the windows or turn on the air conditioning (59.0 percent)
I think I'll pass with the opening window thing, especially with the haze and all. And well, from experience, stronger air conditioning makes me even sleepier

Listen to the radio or CDs (57.7 percent)
Doesnt work, already tried it
Stop to eat or drink (46.3 percent)

Well, like I said earlier, there is no where for me to stop on the way home. I have tried eating, but sweets dont last forever.

Drink caffeine (42.3 percent)
I try not to drink too much before heading home. It is after all a long journey, wouldnt want to need the loo urgently

Other methods the respondents claimed to have used to stay awake at the wheel include talking or singing to themselves (31.7 percent), splashing water in their faces (18.4 percent) and slapping, hitting, or pinching themselves (a self-abusive 16.1 percent).
I guess I'm one of those who abuse myself. However I cant bring myself to slap moi hard enough to leave a lasting effect.
Talking.. well..my passenger is fast asleep everyday on the way home.
Singing.. hmm I have tried that before.. but after a while the words dont make sence anymore....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


The American Institute of Chartered Personal Casualty Underwriters (which is one heckuva name for a band) insists "stay awake" behaviors such as exercising, turning on the radio, and opening the windows are misconceptions and have not been proven to prevent sleep attacks. Other unproven methods to combat drowsiness are hopping on one foot, swapping pants with another occupant of the car, and trying to remember the name of good Rob Schneider movies

Excuse me but how do you hop in the car? And swapping pants? Mad ar?

Ah well, I guess the only thing I can do is sleep more at night, although it doesnt really work. Sleepiness while driving just happens. Maybe its just too boring or cold. The funyn thing is, once I rech home, I feel so refreshed and wide awake..must be all that sleeping in the car.... It must be a miracle that I'm still alive now, hahaha...

I created a Slide Show! Check it out!

7 months of gerbil keeping. 7 months of memories, both happy and sad. The joy of having new born gerbil pups, and the sadness of losing my first gerbil. However its a rewarding experience :)
