Wheee.
Now all I have to do is endure the negative comments of my family. More specifically, my brother and mother.
I get it, my mom wants me to go to a catholic school. Too bad, I don't want to. My brother just has to comment on everything, so whatever. I just feel like if I don't go to the best school I can now, I would pretty much lose the opportunity to finally choose the actual best I can do.
I don't know Shaun's posting as of now, since he's not responding to my messages. Busy doing... Something.
Oh waiit! he just responded. Catholic Junior College. Hm. Fortunate for him.
As it turns out, I'm not going alone. A relief.
On the upside, Anderson is a lot closer to my home than any of the others... I could pretty much walk there if I wanted to. Would just take really long. And rather convenient access to a train station... Close to the library, too.
On the down... It's very close to my home. Contradiction, much? Yeah, this is going to mean that I'll basically not have a new environment to explore. Previously, I had Hougang. Now it almost looks normal to me. But right here? Come on. No exploring for me this time, I guess. Sorta disappointing, but I doubt it really matters.
Okay, I need everyone to help me with something. Go to that little iMeem player on the left, and see if it loads the whole song for you. After Shaun uploaded the Christmas tunes, I found that it only played up to 30 seconds. The problem sorta fixed itself after a while... But it's back. I'm only getting 30 seconds again. If anyone else is having these problems, we'll do our best not to fret and go "aarrghh technical difficulties!" because we have no idea how to fix it. However... If anyone does, then it would do us all some good if your could lend a hand.
Or maybe the Internet is angry at me. Like "Stop staring at me all day!" angry.
Anyway... I can't think of anything else right now, except for that the National Geographic article on dinosaurs was interesting. I already knew most of it... But somehow it's interesting to read over and over again.
Yeah, I love how netizens can basically turn anything into a motivational poster. That doesn't motivate you.

EDIT: I found out why we're only getting 30 second songs, but Shaun isn't. That's because he's the one who uploaded them. There's some imeem policy that basically says that unless a song has been approved, very approved by the publisher, it'll be cut to 30 seconds. Only the one who uploaded the song in the first place will get to hear the full version. Which is a retarded logic all in itself. The entire point of uploading songs is to let other people listen to them. Cutting it to 30 seconds for everyone other than the uploader is simply moronic. The uploader doesn't need to use a web service to listen to his songs, so why bother?

Apparently, imeem is being sued by a bunch of recording and publishing firms. Which would explain why they're cutting the songs to 30 second previews. We can't really do anything about this. I know it sucks to listen to something, then find that it cuts off not even halfway into it. So maybe we'll switch back to the old tunes and let Christmas be ignored by this blog. Can't even get some music for it...
