US university talks weren't too bad, quite useful at certain parts. and ms ng can be quite humorous, although her sense of humour is rather offbeat and occasionally dubious, characterised by an obssession with marriage and the like. i think i'll be one of those people who'll not apply before NS, in the hope that i might be able to redeem myself there and make my extra-curricular CV look slightly better.

more reason to hate hotmail and microsoft hegemony, along with technology in general. ever since i shifted to gmail, i neglected my hotmail account. today, out of boredom i decided to log on to access some nice emails. to my horror - i realised that because i hadn't logged on in 30 days everything was deleted. gone, finished. does yahoo do that to you? does gmail do that to you? no! they have no silly little policies of spring cleaning after a month of stagnation. and spring cleaning WHAT, when it's just 2 measly MB of space. yahoo and gmail giants on the other hand, can handle GIGAbytes worth of space. MEGA is so yesterday, and i'm glad i jumped ship from hotmail.
the loss of all the emails saddens me though. with the same kind of dull ache that i got when i realised that my sms-es were all no longer retrievable after i accidentally sent my phone on a one-way trip to oblivion. it is not acute, because it isn't the kind of thing that i require everyday in my life. rather, it is a silent nagging ache that there is now one less thing to revisit in the future, when i need something to base my life against. for what meaning is there when no standard remains relative by which to judge things by?
