Unlocking locked doors

“Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing, that we see too late the one that is open.” - Alexander Graham Bell
*Then what do we do about locked doors?*
Today one of my housemates has locked her room from the inside. So she can't get in since she left the key inside the room as well..so as housemates, we tried to help her unlock her own room. I've unlocked my own room before, so I tried using the sliding card method. It was hard since her door is very different from mine. The lock hole isn't done properly, so I ended up reaching the other side of the wall and peeled off the door frame. It takes time to get the card in but still to no success.

Then one of us tried google-ing around and found a rather brilliant method. So I thought I should share with you this interesting bit of information so that in future, if u locked your room up. Then at least you know what to do =)

Things you need:
- Dental floss
- A piece of paper
- Twisted wire
- A thin,long rope or a long cable
(Ethernet wire works perfectly well)

This is how you do it:
1. Attach the paper to the floss.
2. Attach the twisted wire to the paper.
3. Slide the paper in at the upper slit of the door till it reach the floor.
4. Grab the twisted wire and get the floss to come out from the lower slit of the door.
5. Take the floss and tie the cable/rope.
6. Pull the floss back up so the cable will be hung on the door knob.
7. Jerk the left cable so the door knob will automatically twist to open from the inside.

and...Tadaaa~ the door is open!

But of course there are much simple way that this, like using a hair pin for example. Either way works perfectly fine. I particularly like this method because we can actually open the door from the inside without having the key.

I finally got the door knob to jerk off and the door helplessly gave in. Everybody was overjoyed because a lot of effort and time were spent to unlock it. It was definitely worth the wait. My housemate quickly grabs her room key and hung it outside her room so that the same mistakes don't reoccur again.

It was a fun day!

Women = Problem

Back in my school days, my add maths teacher came out with this amusing joke about women. But the last equation was Women = Evil, since there's a saying "Money is the root of all evil" We had a good laugh but that doesn't rule out the possibility of women being problematic creatures. What can I say? It's either women are too complex to understand or men are just too dumb to see. =P Can it be both? Hurmmmmm~

Take it as it is

I came across this today. Some how it hits me direct in the heart. So I think I'd better put this up to remind myself =)

Missing Him

It's really hard when you want to express your feelings to that special someone. You just can't seem to find the right words to describe those tingling sensation every time he/she is around.

So this is dedicated to my Bun2 Busuk!

MY EVERYTHING - 98 Degrees

The loneliness of nights alone
The search for strength to carry on
My every hope has seemed to die
My eyes had no more tears to cry
Then like the sun shines from up above
You surrounded me with your endless love
And all the things I couldn't see
Are now so clear to me

Chorus
You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray
On bended knee
That you will always be
My everything

Now all my hopes and all my dreams
Are suddenly reality
You've opened up my heart to feel
A kind of love that's truly real
A guiding light that'll never fade
There's not a thing in life that I would ever trade
For the love you give it won't let go
I hope you'll always know

Oh
You're the breath of life in me
The only one that sets me free
And you have made my soul complete for all time
For all time

Suprise,suprise!

Today these two rings came! (^_^)/ I was really excited about them. They look cute aren't they? Well both of them fit perfectly on my hands..but since one is to be given away to that special someone, so I'm left with just one. I'm not sure whether if fits him. It looks rather small to me since I too can wear it. But lets hope for the best shall we?

Today also marks the last week of lecture.weeee~ I'm so excited to go back. However there are tests and exams to be attended to. So i can't really relax now. I have already started revising for my subjects, so far it's the same old same old but it helps to improve my skills since drilling is the best way to handle these kind of subjects =)(note to myself: Best of luck Ija *wink2*)

Today is also the day I submitted my Return Ticket Form to MOE. Since I'm one of those few who are computer illiterate, I got help from my former classmate back in my foundation days. Yeah, he is of a big help when it comes to technology but along the way I'm being poke fun by him and my housemate. I certainly don't have any clue on how to use the scanners there. Sheesh~
Anyways, that's that..Now I just have to wait for my e-ticket flight back to Kuala Lumpur. =)

Summer here has been really pleasant since I have very helpful friends around. I thank them from the bottom of my heart. A part of me will always miss the days surviving in Auckland..but soon Auckland will then be my memorable past.

To Auckland with love~
