Segmentation fault (core dump)

a lesson ive learnt this wk is to never go to bed right after a supper of oyster omelette...........that's a precursor to nearly 3 days of horrendous gastro torture...........

in a nutshell, ive never realised how full of shit i was until yesterday.......and im glad to say im no longer full of shit anymore.......i lost count on the number of times i had to visit the office loo........but i do know it is one less than the total number, cos there was once i went to check if i had flushed.

through all the madness, i do have an idea tho..........wouldn't it be great if i could gather enough pple to make a link to this post so that the next time someone googles for a certain subject, they would be directed to my blog and this post in particular.

im thinking that the subject would be 'C++ core dump'

sorry non-tech pple, im jus too weak to explain........

Earth Shattering

i guess i shld follow the papers when it comes to posting on this blog. i shld start with the most impactful, explosive and earth shattering news as my headliner followed by the less important gossipy stuff...........ok......

i bought 2 packets of potato chips the other nite.......for $12..........how's that for shocking news........shock was definitely written all over my face while i was at the payment counter that nite........the cashier lady saw my widened eyes and had only this to say, "Expensive potato chips huh."

in other less earth shattering news, i experienced my first earthquake yesterday. sadly i only felt one of the two that hit. interestingly tho, i missed the first one and was wishing for a second one when it did happen. the feeling was kinda surreal actually........the cubicle partitions were shaking and that was about it. not a full quake, but still my first.

believe me, im not trying to make light of the plight of those in indon where the quake actually happened. but im jus beside myself with joy at finally being able to strike one off my list of "things to do or try"

been feeling a little tina turner-ish lately. tempted to go fluff my hair up and start belting "What's love gotta do, gotta do with it" tho that would be totally aqua-ish.

The Pursuit of Happyness

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

now, it's happyness with a "y" not "i" ladies and gentlemen.........that above line came from the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson. think most would know by now, this next post is gonna be abt my views on the latest movie starring Will Smith.

well, first off, the show was really really........wet. my left sleeve was wet with tears. not my own. but from J. she practically weeped through the entire show. my gf is a sucker for sob stories. from where i stand, it seems that the wetter my sleeve gets, the better the show..........ohyes, the amount of snot on my sleeve does help in the ratings as well.........

what can i say, i am bowled over by the show. fantastic. and the ending, very very good. although it was an ending that evry1 knew was coming, it was powerful enough yet so simple and short. the whole show was jus fantastic. i think i need to go watch forest whitaker in the king of scotland first before i understand why will smith did not win the oscar for best actor.

i knew of the story of chris gardner before watching the show. not the full story, but i did catch an episode of oprah (or something) a few years back and he was in it telling his story. watching the movie, i was initially expecting a really glorified version of his tale. but that's not wat i got. it wasnt glorified at all. maybe cos there wasnt the big grand finale with fanfare kinda music and scenes of mad euphoria. the whole story felt real enough and very believeable. i felt like i could actually relate to him and would logically do exactly the same things he did if i were in his shoes. except i would probably jus laid down and died from all the mental strain and emotional battering.

but like i said, the ending sold me. best ending to a movie ive seen for quite a while now.
