手术成功, 但病人死了

Dunno why, but my windows media player suddenly died-ed yesterday.. Click play playlist and it goes jumping all over the files, not being able to read them. Tried playing a single song and it says it is not able to read file cos it does not have the necessary codec! Wa then what has it been reading with for the past 3-4 years?!

Tried scanning for virus.. no virus, tried reinstalling.. installation successful! but same thing happened, tried downloading codecs... codecs installed successfully! again, no use. Hai so how.. have to give up on him and use realplayer.. (luckily got a number of free media playing programs. Hope realplayer will not die on me for no reason also..)

Been bumping into people these 2 days at unexpected places. Met Kenneth (who's living in the east) at CDANS where i take weekly swims. Said he's having dinner with his family cos his brother going into NS. His father is the manager there leh.. Wow.. "buy potato leh" (buay kan tang) Then met secondary school mates at Clementi kopitiam.. Both graduated liao, 1 working already and 1 starting his business. Both same questions and reactions:"对 hor, 你还有一年 hor."

Ya 一年.... if all goes well... Just went through next year's time table. 2 weeks of study break before MBBS.. And it's not even 一年 away... 10 months at most.. Time to reduce "life".. "Come back 6 months later" not so much as a joke anymore...
