Wednesday....

It is one of the boring days(again) and i have totally nothing to do(besides studying).I however do not have the mood to look through my thick&wordy(Scary!) textbook.And Its DE(Digital Electronics) test on friday, although i'm panick it is really not doing much help trying to read through that big book(i don't understand the concept!).So i'm awaiting for thursday when my friends can give me a big lecture on DE!Hees.

SO!I spent the whole day trying to watch the TVB drama with my favourite actor(Benny chan), its quite old though but its interesting!The drama is before the story "The legend of the condor heros & the return of the lengend condor".

One Big bad point about these kinda shows is they have too much fighting scenes(oh kami-sama!) and it never fails to make me laugh when the characters in the drama can just fight over senseless topics?And by the time i reached the 3rd disc my head had already start to hurt(oh man.)I seriously wonder how my mum and brother have marathons watching Dramas day and night.Especially my mum who enjoys watching shows that are so lovey dovey; the all-typical-korean dramas. Amazingly, she can sit infront of the TV for hours.

I recently started watching TVB dramas instead(due to the odex-anime-sueing thingy).Odex was really over-doing it;sueing students(without warning) when he knowingly knew that parents would pay to get their children out of trouble(Its like $3500 each person he sues?). Odex did it to recoup losses for their Products that didn't sell well. It was their fault when they produced low quality, badly subbed and out-dated series and market it at a high price(29.90 for only 6cds?).It is no wonder many turned to alternatives that was free and of better quality. And not to forget, it was harder to stop uploaders then downloaders as many sources came from overseas via internet. So he conveniently sued students under the pretext of copyright infridgment.

It has been known that odex buys scripts from hongkong(to cut cost), resulting into badly translated texts. Now they are facing boycotts from people nation wide, events like campaiging against them have started and have aroused many to join their hands against odex(their enemy).There was even when people organized a day where they would send their odex CDs for recycling. Odex have really dug their grave and would probably not survive long.

Oh kami-sama!Hope you would fufill my wish!
1.Enlighten whoever who took my phone!please return!~~~
2.Desporately wishes WE(yi,le&me,including my poly mates) not fail any modules
3.A good job that pays high
4.Also wants a guy each for both yi&le

Retribution~~~

As stated, it was a bad way to end my day today. I'm begining to believe in the term "Retribution".I was still making remarks about how "remarkably awesome" my brother can be when he lost his ez-link for the 4th time(or was it 3rd?).And today, i carelessly forgot about my phone in the pouch which was to be left there during the exam!It is allocated at the side leg of the table.

(Screams!)Why was i so careless?(Sigh)I'm so gonna get grounded, and there goes my hope for a new phone;i wanted to exchange with my mum for a better phone. Hope that lecturer who took it return it to the admin office. And curse those dishonest student that might have taken my phone.(sulks)

Anyways!I need a job badly(desporate for cash). Most likely be working the whole month of september. Yi!Please*eye sparkles* go jogging with me for the whole month!~hees.

Cheated!!(▼皿▼#)

That was what happen to me today(sulks).It was a lazy start for me today (due to the wet weather) i finally dragged myself down to shop, meeting yi there as i went to collect my books.She then followed my up to visit wang wang. He is such a naughty fella, bitting and pulling any material he can get himself on which included bitting our undies and running out of the room(laugh).We then brought wang wang down for a walk and headed straight for shop again. It seemed that aunty had to collect some overdue books from a customer's house and hand those books to another customer which was rather disturbed when aunty mentioned that set of books isn't within the shop at the moment; poor aunty had to go and get those books back in which yi and yuan yuan aunty followed. I on the other hand was left to attend the shop.

Now the main part comes in!A regular customer(chinese foreigner) comes in to return books she borrowed and i as the shop attendant had to return the money she deposited when renting . Each book was priced according to the amount it was worthed and the customer had to pay an extra dollar for the rental fee.

Since she was a regular, according to aunty, we take less deposit from her and i unknowningly gave her back the full amount.Being fully aware, she did not inform me and continues to take the cash and leaves. Oh man i feel so cheated!There is a big difference between $2.50 and $16, she could have told me but she chose to keep quiet.(sigh.)Looks like i have to fork out the difference if she does not return, it seems to me she is quite an odd one out who insisted on using deposit when having an account would have been a more convenient choice.


I will be going over to NUS for the september holidays!!Its work work work = money money money!!WEES~ But then again, the long journey

The Diary Of Ellen Rimbauer

The history of the Rimbauer family and Rose Red

In her induction speech at the university, Joyce informs her group of Rose Red's history. She explains that construction on Rose Red began in 1906 by John P. Rimbauer at the top of Spring Street in the center of Seattle, as a wedding present to his wife. Rimbauer was founder of Omicron Oil Company, the biggest oil company in America until 1950. That year was also the year Ellen Rimbauer disappeared.

The trouble with Rose Red started even before there was a house. Construction crews worked 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But that wasn't the problem, the problem was that even before there was a house there, that piece of ground drove people mad. A Teamster named Harry Corbin shot and killed Rimbauer's first foreman. Corbin made no effort to escape; he just dropped his gun in his wagon and went down to a Seattle saloon, which was where the police found him. When he was tried, he claimed he remembered nothing from breakfast that morning until the time he woke up in jail with a knot behind his ear. Neither the judge nor jury believed him and he was sentenced to 25 years. Harry Corbin may have been Rose Red's first male victim.

John Rimbauer and Ellen Gilchrist were married on November 12, 1907. He was 40 years old, and she was 20. Rose Red had been under construction for a year. Already there had been three deaths on the premises. One man was decapitated by a sheet of falling glass. Another fell from a scaffold and broke his neck. The third choked to death on a piece of apple.

One of the psychics mentions that Rose Red "looks like it has metastasized" after observing that the building had grown on its own over the years. No one really knows how many rooms it holds. 23 people have disappeared inside of Rose Red's walls since the end of World War I. Five men and eighteen women have disappeared in Rose Red. She has always been particularly fond of the ladies. The last recorded disappearance in Rose Red was in 1972. Liza Albert, a woman on the Historical Society's annual tour, was with the group when they went upstairs. After the tour was over, the group realized that she was not with them anymore. The police did not find her, but they did find her purse, bloody and ripped. Since her disappearance, the house has been closed to tours.

After John and Ellen married, they took a grand, leisurely honeymoon which lasted a year. They circled the globe on ocean liners like the Ocean Star. John Rimbauer's favorite part of the tour was Africa. Ellen didn't enjoy it quite as much. In fact, she nearly died. She contracted an African illness. An African woman named Sukeena helped her recover. In her diary she called it "an unmentionable disease carried by men and suffered by women". Ellen recovered. When she and John finally took up residence in Rose Red in January 1909, Ellen was pregnant. John thought the house was finished, but the house was not completed; neither in his lifetime nor in hers. What makes Rose Red one of the world's most fascinating psychic artifacts is that the house continued to grow until its death in 1995 or 1996. Until 1950, changes and additions were made according to the will of Ellen Rimbauer. After 1950, Rose Red grew on its own.

In the fall of 1909, Ellen Rimbauer gave birth to a son. In her diary she wrote, "I have called him Adam, for he is the first." Sukeena saw Ellen through the difficult labor. In her diary, Ellen never refers to Sukeena as her servant. First she calls her, "my friend" and then later, "my sister". When Ellen gave birth to a daughter with a withered arm, she blamed her African illness and her husband's sexual appetites, although she wrote, "In my mind they are one," to which she added, "Damn all men." John and Ellen's daughter was born in April 1911, and she was therefore named April. In the years following the birth of Ellen's daughter, Ellen became convinced that her fever, which recurred periodically, would kill her young. That made her easy game for Madame Stravinsky, as she called herself. Not even Sukeena could convince her that the old lady was a fraud. Fraud or not, Madame Stravinsky&#8212;known to police in San Francisco and Los Angeles as Cora Fry&#8212;changed Ellen Rimbauer's life one night in August 1914. Madame Stravinsky told Ellen that she must continue to build. She also told Ellen that she would not die until the house was finished. Ellen told her that the house was finished, but Madame Stravinksy told her that Rose Red would never be finished until Ellen thought it so. Ellen took it seriously, probably she was right to. Everything else aside, she never had another attack of her African fever.

The next week, construction at Rose Red began for a new wing, the first of many. Her husband had nothing to say about this. The girl had a withered arm, but the son was fine. It was the son John Rimbauer cared about. In John's mind, Ellen had fulfilled her function, and could pretty much do what she liked. He was preoccupied with his business and extramarital affairs. Ellen continued to make additions to the house until her disappearance in 1950. Over 40 years of well-financed eccentricity. When she ran out of conventional additions to build to the house, she hired contractors and architects to build unconventional additions, such as the so-called tower of folly which was completed in 1921. John Rimbauer fell to his death from it two years later. Although his death certificate stated accidential death, gossip claimed suicide or ghosts. During Rose Red's active years, women in Rose Red tended to turn up missing, and men tended to turn up dead.
