never depend on technology. sometime i simply hate technology. today is one such day. at 10.30am, 1 and half hours to my german semester test, i was slogging through entering german nouns in the online website vocab book so as to churn out a table to do a last minute revision and memorization of the words while eating my brunch (which consists of instant noodle and milk tea) when the website suddenly give up on me. damn. can't open the website. can't load the page. can't print the words. and time check: 11.00am. dead. half an hour left before i need to leave hall to make it in time for the test. no time to use the good old tradition method of using a pen and paper to churn out the table. damn. so i spend the next half an hour refreshing the page (hoping that the website will be up again), eating and trying to read the available worksheets. of course to no avail. damn. and whose fault is it. mine. why? cos i know of the test long ago and had been procastinating instead of studying and leaving it to last mintue. great and what happened: the website crashed. argh.

lesson learned: never leave things to last mintue. but will lesson be applied? well... =)
