- I Dont Wanna Cry, M.Carey -

Hmm... its monday again. Two weeks of trying to download the dreaded Java 1.4 SDK. For God's sakes... why is it so difficult?? I'd installed the JRE and its supposed to work fine but somehow, i got error messages when i tried to run the startup.bat file in the cmd window. Boy.. that sounded like sth i'd write to a java forum.. Sheeshhh. :p

Ok.. as everyone would've guessed (I think).. i did go to Penang to meet up with Dan. And thank God, everything seemed to be fine.. though i kinda felt a little awkward at the beginning.. but things went quite well. Just wished that we could stay there longer. Oh yeah.. did i mention that there was a really heavy downpour in penang that day that i had to get an umbrella?.. Hmm.. the lengths that people go for love.. hahhaa.. *winks*

After the date with Dan, i went back to Nura's... One of her mom's friend was also there, helping out preparing for the hantaran stuffs. It is confirmed that Nura's wedding will be brought forward to an earlier date, January... and everyone, myself included are very well caught up in the excitement of the preparation of Nura's big day. Plus... we (nura n I) are putting ourselves on diet. Why ? Well.. Nura - because she wants to look her best on her wedding day.. of course! Who wouldnt? Me - accompanying Nura and well.. to shed as much pounds as i can before Raya. :)

So, last weekend, i accompanied Nura and her parents to get stuffs for the wedding... soaps (to be shredded as buah tgn), sweets, containers, ribbons.. bla.. bla.... you know.. all those nice trimmings people use for hantaran and stuffs. Sunday, we went to S.Petani to meet up with one of her cuzs who works in a Bridal House to see wedding apparels and stuffs... alahai.. best nya! Hmm.. cant wait for my turn to come. :) heheh...

Saw sth on NGEO this morning after sahur. Hmm.. Foot Binding by the chinese women. It is done on girls as young as 5 years of age and is done by binding the feet with a long piece of cloth (sth like a bandage). Foot binding causes the bones in the feet to get crushed and the structure of the feet becomes somewhat distorted, thus making the toe pointed. It is said that foot binding doesnt only beautify a women.. it also intensifies the sex provided by that women.. as it is said that foot binding causes the vagina to get tighter. Huh?? yeah right! Since when did someone's vagina gets linked to the size of her feet??!! Puh-leeze! Walking to the foot-binded becomes impossible.. unless the feet is wrapped in some binding cloths and covered by a few layers of socks before putting on the dainty, pointed toed, embroidered shoe. Sometimes its just so absurd how some people define beauty. But to me, if beauty means having to endure such extreme pain and discomfort... well... i should think that i'd rather be ugly.

Arghhh.. better get on with my java. Gosh.. this project is so much like a growing, malignant tumour. It haunts you everywhere you go, whatever you do... And it doesnt stop until YOU put a STOP to it. Either you finish it and get it over and done with... or you die with it. :p Should i change my research topic???
