The mundane life

I'm backkkkkkkkkkkkk

2011-11-04T23:01:00.003+08:00

Wow, its been so long it's not even funny. I've actually totally forgotten how i have a blog, until i was sidetracked from assignments and thought to myself "hey! lets go read my old blog!" (wait, didn't i say i've totally forgotten that i have a blog? well i guess anything goes for the distracted mind) Then i realized how much fun it is to read back on old posts and yadda yadda yadda, i finally decided to revive my blog.

So, here i am, more than a year later since my last post (i think) And so much has changed, for instance, i saw one of my posts about me eating at Mamak Malaysian Restaurant, yeah i work there now... which brings us to... I actually have a job now! well as a waiter, but what can one expect for a part time job (i'm still in uni, i guess that hasn't changed) I am no longer obsessed with keeping my hair long, sense finally came into my mind i guess. Anddddd, well i can't think of anything more now, i mean, it's been a whole damn year, and also it's 2 in the morning which reminds me, i actually legging it for my last assignments in uni, after all the talk about not leaving things till the last minute, i guess that remains the same for me...

Alright, i think i'm just gonna leave it up to here for now, i'm sure there will be many interesting things to post about when i finally complete my bachelors degree (i hope), which is in a couple of weeks, but if not, there will always be daily shenanigans going on to keep things interesting (which makes the title of this blog to be moot) like how i was trying to kill this cockroach that snuck into my room at 3am the other day and how agile it, but agility alone means jackshit in my books, i finally killed it and went to bed in peace. Till next time!

Year 2 Semester 1

2010-02-23T20:56:00.002+08:00

It feels like it was just yesterday that i was studying for my final exams and i just couldn't wait for the summer holidays to come, fast forward to to 2 months and 2 weeks later, here i am again, starting my second year in uni, it's been a while since i last turned on my table lamp, haha the only complain i have is how messed up my timetable is, long breaks between classes and sometimes even going to uni for just one lecture just isn't fun at all, oh well, at least i could utilize that time to get some productive work done, as i have discovered that i tend to work much more efficiently in the library than at home...given that i have the attention span of a housefly

On another note, i am quite looking forward to this semester, why you asked me? i don't really know myself, but i just have a good feeling about it. I did achieve the goal of improving academically last semester albeit not very significantly but i do plan to improve further this semester by taking up some a few study tips and advices that i have received....

Oh and lastly, i might try looking for a job again soon, as soon as the semester kicks into full gear and i feel that i can cope with it....although a little something has undermined this plan because on the very first day of uni, i have already received a major assignment.....a 2500 word essay which is worth 20%, although i haven't done any essay close to this behemoth, i am thinking of the shitload of research i will have to do, last year for my anthropology essay, it took me quite a long time to compile all the information i need for my 1500 word essay and i have to say that i nearly smashed my head into a wall in frustration on how much information that i collected was not relevant to what i wanted to write about...well people do learn from past mistakes and i sure hope that i do learn from mine! lol

And that pretty much sums up everything i have to say in this post, till the next post! :)

OMG!!

2010-02-07T01:52:00.002+08:00

I'm not going to say much in this post.... just three words...which is.....OOHHH MYYY GAAWWWDDD!!! and one picture..

Start of holidays

2009-12-01T18:41:00.002+08:00

Okay, first things first!! my exams are finally over!! it's bad enough that when i had just started my exams, a lot of my friends are having their holidays and back in Malaysia... but that doesn't matter anymore does it? XD and unlike last semester, i do not feel like crap because i know i didn't flunk my exams, or that's what i think..:P anyways, i won't be heading back to Malaysia for quite a while as i will be heading to Melbourne this Saturday to meet up with my family, and then after a week, we will return to Sydney and will remain here until January...damn i can't wait ti get back, so many friends to meet, so many things to catch up with, so many outing sessions to attend!! oh and i also recently bought a new camera.. so that means that future posts might actually have a few pictures instead of just plain wall of text like what you are seeing right now...okay.. that's about the end of this post, now time for me to get back to Fallout 3!! :D

short update

2009-10-29T18:49:00.003+08:00

Arrived back at Sydney on Monday morning and reached home about noon, spent the whole day lazing around as i was too tired to get anything productive done....then straight back to classes on Tuesday, Wednesday and today, Thursday, and it looks like i have a very busy week ahead, on next week itself, my Microsoft Access assignment is due, along with a information systems quiz and management presentation, then the week after, isys practical exam and management test, then the week after marks the beginning of the finals, my first paper would be on the 18th, information systems, followed by accounting on the 23rd and management on the 24th, and finally anthropology on the 30th, well, the timetable isn't as good as the one last semester but it's not bad, at least i get almost a whole week to prepare for anthropology....then year end holidays to come after that!! :D can't wait!!

Back in kl

2009-10-17T00:58:00.002+08:00

I've landed back in K.L a couple of hours ago, however this is a very short trip as i would only be staying for 1 week, the reason for my sudden return is that my grandfather is not doing really well and i just feel that i needed to come back to see him, being the eldest grandson and the alleged "favourite" i feel that it would be extremely rude not to come back to see him, so yea, i'm finally back in kl, something that i never expected as from you can see from my previous posts, i am scheduled to come back sometime late 2010, just another indicator of how unpredictable life can be. But still, its good to be back, i've notice quite a few changes around certain areas, heck even my own house looks a little bit different from what i remember! Soooo. thats about it, will try to update with whatever i can think of! (conception day post will come sometime tomorrow!)

A little update

2009-09-30T19:33:00.003+08:00

Just a little update here as i currently cannot afford to upload any pictures from Conception Day, Why you asked? because my bandwidth usage is off the roof this month and i think i am gonna get capped again real soon if i do not wise up and cut down on my usage, one thing i hate about my current internet plan is that we are only given a mere 25gb's of bandwidth per month by Telstra Bigpond, and the worst part is we can't switch to other plan as we are out of their range, so we are pretty much stuck with this shitty line....well too bloody bad if you ask me, this is one of the moments i wish there was Streamyx, although their connection is shit at times, but you don't have to worry about bandwidth usage, you can watch youtube all day long(if it loads :P), play online games or even flash games like Farmville in facebook, upload 99999 pictures and videos on your facebook page and blog, stream and download music and videos...etc etc and with my current 25gb's (shared with 2 other people) i can't do any of the above, i have lost count on how many times my friends sent me a link to a funny video on youtube and how i tell them i cannot watch due to bla bla bla...

Anyways, enough of my rant about shitty internet package, now for some updates, i'm now enjoying my 2 week long semester break starting from last week, and this time i have spent it much more wisely compared to last semester!! :D so far i have completed my information systems assignment, accounting major assignment,and accounting tutorial ( which takes forever to do!! just ask any of my coursemates!) not alot i know, but it's a big improvement since i spent last semester's break watching The Office and dunno what else and did no work, and end up shitting bricks when the semester started again.... so! this leaves one assignment to complete! my anthropology essay and just to study for the two upcoming tests! I even ditched tomorrow's Coogee Beach outing to do my essay(i hope Angeline doesn't see this, or she'll kill me X.X)

Well, that is pretty much it for this not so mini update! and i will blog about Conception Day from Uni!! so stay tuned!

Weekend City Getaway

2009-09-04T15:51:00.007+08:00

As i have mentioned in one of my previous posts, my mom is visiting me in Sydney for one weekand for the weekend, we went to the explored the city a little, i can't believe in my 7 months here, i have only been to the city only once, =.= so, on Saturday we pretty much just shopped around Chinatown...and had some Japanese food for dinner, food was nothing shout about, then the day pretty much ended as i still have my anthropolgy essay i needed to finish up on, but the real getaway started on Sunday as we walked around the City to The Rocks and The Opera House, but the first order of business was breakfast, and after waiting for so many months, i finally got to eat at Mamak haha, it's a pretty well known Malaysian place and i have always wanted to come here since i have first heard of it!! haha and the food didn't dissapoint like many other Malaysian food served here either, the roti canai tasted almost exactly the same with the ones we have at home haha, but the maggie goreng and nasi lemak was pretty kick ass too, for Australian standard la.. haha

waiting for food at Mamak

Food@Mamak AWESOME!! :P

We then walked to The Rocks which is pretty much a tourist attraction, and shopped, i did not buy anything though, but i saw a cool t-shirt that i liked... too bad it's expensive..$40 is heaps for a t-shirt :( then later there is nothing much to talk about as we just kept walking around and just kept taking pictures, so i would let the pictures do the talking for me :)

Sydney Opera House

some random place lol
Opera house with mom and mom's friend

somewhere in The Rocks

Opera house close up

opera house

Then later at night we went to this chinese restaurant that comes highly recommended by a local friend who mentioned that the "siao long pao's" are a must try and to our surprise, it was beyond awesome!! haha its texture was perfect and the skin wasn't too flimsy, something that most other restaurants fail at.... but these ones here are pure gastronomic orgasm!! (for me) anyways the restaurant is just inside world square... and you can't miss it.. too bad i don't have the address with me...

dinner@ Ding Tai Fung or something like that

And that pretty much sums up my weekend escapade, oh yea it wasn't over just yet, you see, i was supposed to give my uncle a call when i arrive back at the station at home and my phone just happen to run out of battery and i don't remember any numbers to call from a public payphone, not forgetting that the last bus had just left and there was no taxis in sight, and everything was closed except for one cafe and one cyber cafe so i thought i was screwed for sure, but good thing the cyber cafe was there because i had to contact my cousin with msn to tell them that i have reached the station..how stupid of me not to remember the house number at least... another lesson learned here...

R.I.P Slyvester Liew

2009-09-01T19:15:00.008+08:00

This post is dedicated to a friend of mine who had recently passed away, he goes by the name Slyvester Liew Kah Hoe, but everyone just calls him Sly, he had recently been infected with septicemia , his health has been fluctuating for the past month and a half and on August the 15th, he breathed his last, i personally did not get this news as my parents did not want me to know....then my mom decided to break the news to me last Sunday, at first i thought i must have misheard, as he is the same age as me, and i have known him since we were just little kids, because our dad's happened to be University mates and are really close friends, they hatched a plan to name their sons after action movie stars of that era, the late 80's, he is named after Slyvester Stallone, and i was to be named Arnold, after Arnold Schwarzeneggar, however my mom preferred Benjamin and my Dad somehow agreed to that, and so here we are now...Ben Teh
Back to the topic, although we were not best of friends, we were friends nonetheless, he was like many 20 year old guys, an active person, basketball, gym, nightclubs, you name it, not someone that you will suspect to pass away due to some illness, and the sad part is that he has been perfectly healthy before all of this, and everything changed drastically in 1.5 months, even as i type this, i simply cannot believe that he is really gone, the last time we met was not more than 2 years ago at my house, it is also that time that i have discovered that i have found another Liverpool fan, a rare find in Malaysia as everywhere you go, you can find someone flaming Liverpool... but that is not the purpose of this post, from my perspective, he was a friend anyone could get along with in an instant, cheerful, friendly, fun, maybe a little shy, but once you get to know him, you would know that he is a great guy, i can still remember that we were planning to meet up for yumcha when i am back in Malaysia, unfornately, that day would never come....

His passing has not only brought me a great deal of shock, it has also made me realize the fragility of human life, i can only assume that as young men, many of us would think that we still have a whole life ahead of us, i remember reading from somewhere that us youth have a little sense of invincibility inside us, i would agree to this statement, that is what pushes many of us to do a lot of stupid things, this news is especially distressing for me as i am not at 100% good health either, now i have an even better reason to stop drinking coffee and eating so much fried food. for goodanyways this is a short message to you Sly, whenever you are, it has been a pleasure knowing you as a friend, i am sorry i did not keep in touch with you recently as i did not know your condition was so serious and also that i have been pretty busy with Uni life, but don't worry, you will always be known as a good friend to all of us, you can be sure that you will never be forgotten in our hearts, and do continue to support Liverpool from up there dude, i know we haven't been playing well this season but i am pretty sure that the guys would perform a superb comeback soon, peace out man, stay cool

Slyvester Liew Kah Hoe

17-9-1989 -> 15-8-2009

and i just realized that he was one month short of his birthday....R.I.P dude, i still can't believe that you are really gone forever...

All in a days work

2009-08-20T22:49:00.002+08:00

As mentioned in my previous post, i am happy to declare that i am still going strong without coffee!! :) although i somehow feel that i tire more quickly these few days, but no matter! i will get rid of his bad habit!

On an unrelated note however, i can't help but think that not all bad things that happen is really that bad at all, take this morning for example, after oversleeping by 1 hour and missing the bus, i really thought i was screwed, i was supposed to hand in my information systems tutorial homework during my 11am tutorial, and the next bus doesn't come until 11am!! and it takes about 40 minutes to reach uni and about 10 minutes to reach my classroom, so you could imagine i was pretty screwed, but it seems that things are not as bad as i expected, first, my uncle whom i am living with was extremely nice to offer to send me all the way to uni, thanks uncle!! :):) and second, my tutor was also kind enough to let me email him my work when i reach home, how cool is that? but i think he is gonna penalize me for handing it in late! >.<, not forgetting that if i had arrived early, i would have handed in the wrong questions as i have mistaken done the wrong set of questions( how extremely retarded of me!!). Damn i have to say it was lucky of me oversleeping!! but certainly i will not make it a habit! since its my first time oversleeping for class @.@

Anyways, next week is gonna be tough!! my anthropology essay on Love is due... my information systems assignment is due... management test is also gonna be on, not to mention all the tutorial homework!!! good thing i have friday and monday off!! :P so off to the books i go!! oh did i mention.. mom is coming to visit in 2 weeks!! >.<

Quitting coffee..temporarily

2009-08-18T11:52:00.003+08:00

Hey guys, i am pretty sure most of my friends know that i like coffee a lot.. but looks like i'll need to kick that habit for a while now due to some minor health issues, it seems that the consumption of coffee and the like aggravates this "condition" and is getting very annoying and that is why i'm going to try a few weeks without coffee and see if this changes anything, well can't say that this will be easy but i have done it once before and lasted for about 2 weeks? now i am aiming for like maybe 3 weeks? sure that everything will go according to plan! :) or maybe i will update my progress here so that i'll have more reasons pull this off instead of giving up on the first or second day.. lol

Day 1
sometimes it feels like the first day is the hardest, i almost failed a couple of times today but i somehow managed to convince myself otherwise, but it is not without certain "side-effects", i had a mild headache, felt tired and all, and when i looked in the mirror i can see dark circles around my eyes, but i grabbed myself a diet coke during lunch and i almost instantly felt better! talk about psychological side effects eh? anyways today is not over yet and i am typing this from the library, but im pretty sure i'll pull through today with no problems! ;)

so that about wraps it up for day 1, haha i will try to keep everyone updated here, but my internet line at home got capped and is now half as fast as a dial up connection, i can't even load facebook... =.= so yea, till the next post!

New Semester

2009-08-09T19:55:00.003+08:00

I can't believe i am saying this again, i have yet again abandoned my blog for the past month or so....sometimes i think my blog must be the least updated one in blogspot....=.= Anyways, after just scraping by with last semester's results, i vowed to do a lot better this semester, and step 1 was to uninstall all the games on my laptop(with the exception of counter strike and team fortress 2, because i don't really play them very often, like once a month or less?) step 2 is to start studying already, well so far i am proud to say that i am doing well with both steps, sure hope i can maintain this throughout the semester and reach my target of 4 distinctions!!

So you must be wondering what do i do in my free time? It would be impossible to just study all day for someone like me right? After quitting gaming for good, i have started practising on the guitar alot, and i am amazed at how much i have improved over the week compared to the many months that i have been "touching" the guitar, i used to practise for less than 1 hour each day because the very beginning of learning to play is very boring, and with so many games, it's kind of hard to practise properly..lol for me at least >.<

And also, friends have been asking when would i be back to Malaysia, I must say that it is highly unlikely that i will go back this year as one of my cousins might get married at the end of this year, and my family are planning to come over here to attend, and while they are at it, travel around Australia... so with that, i wouldn't want them to waste more money on my air ticket their ticket here is not cheap at all.... However, nothing is confirmed yet, so i guess there might still be a chance that i would be back!! something which i can't wait for!! >.<

Tommy Emmanuel concert 19-6-2009

2009-06-22T16:20:00.003+08:00

My cousin is a big fan of Tommy Emmanuel, he pre-ordered these tickets last year just to make sure he doesn't miss the master of acoustic guitar himself in action, haha i even remember discussing about the concert and i was thinking to myself "ahh there is still a long way to go", well, last friday, that day came, for the first time in my 4 months here. i stepped foot into Sydney's city...pathetic i know..i've been here for 4 months and i have not been to the city before....so anyways...there was nothing to shout about in the city as we went late and did not have much time for sightseeing.... and by 5pm it was night time and it was freaking hard to take good night view pictures with these shaky hands of mine....should have asked cousin to bring along his dslr..

So.... for the concert, we were very lucky to be able to meet and shake hands with Tommy Emmanuel himself!! to have a guitar god standing right beside you is a crazy feeling i tell you!! he even gave a few lucky fans a few tips and tricks on playing the guitar...well those guys are already pro's who bought their own guitars to play along with Tommy backstage...

And for the main event, the concert itself.... this is my very first time watching him live and i was never a big fan of his to start with, i only tagged along with my cousin who was kind enough to buy me a ticket, after wacthing him play, i was simply amazed by his speed and creativity, he was so fast that i think no normal human can achieve that speed, and about his creativity, he utilizes almost every part of the guitar for his songs, i can say that from that very moment, i never looked at the acoustic guitar the same again, there is just so many things you can do with it, as he said "the guitar is a weapon of mass construction" the only downside was that the audio was a bit off, as he turned the volume up too high, the sound is not as sharp as it should be, but it was a fantastic show nonetheless, i will definitely buy a ticket if he ever performs in sydney again!!

Holidays!!

2009-06-18T11:58:00.005+08:00

YYEAHH!! EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!! i have been looking forward for this day for quite a while... but to be honest, i don't feel all that great and excited, mainly because i know i did very badly in my marketing paper, which i think i will most probably fail...:( the excitement for the holidays faded away
as soon as i flipped open the paper, all the processes that i thought would be important and memorized never came out, to add insult to injury, i was stuck at the most important part of the paper, the case study which weights 40% of the entire paper,so unless i score something close to a full mark in my multiple choice and short answer question, i ill fail marketing....:( i feel so bad for my parents.. :'( well, let this be a lesson to me, i just have to start working hard from the first day of next semester, not during the final month of it

But i am pretty sure no one is here to read about how i did in the exams, so after the exams, i got one of my friends to watch Terminator Salvation with me, and we both agreed that this movie kicked ass!! the best terminator ever!!! behind terminator 2! :P

Also.. i quickly grabbed myself a copy of The Sims 3 from EB games for $69, it was a pretty good deal as the market price is $99!! started playing it yesterday and i really did not feel the excitement as i used to have when playing games...partly because my laptop does not perform half as fast as my desktop :(:(:(

The funny part about after exams is that when i came home, i just dunno what to do....for the past month i've been rushing home for assignments and the like, even more for the past week...which resulted in my now pimply-ish face, ( i was free from pimples for quite a while :P, how ironic that my friends used to call me pimple face, when now they have more pimples than me lol) no longer i have to keep thinking about how much should i get done by today...ahh i think i'm gonna need 1 or 2 days to settle in this "new life" of mine :)

What the!@#$??

2009-05-21T16:16:00.002+08:00

I have always been known for being a clumsy person, once i slipped on my slippers which resulted in my knee hitting the sharp edge of a gutter, leaving a deep scar that remains till today, well today i have proven it again, so i arrived at the train station early, the train doesn't arrive in 7 minutes, so i thought it would be a good idea to "visit" the public toilet upstairs, bad mistake..... some of you may know that i like to "skip one step" when i am walking up staircases and escalators, people always say i shouldn't do it, as i may fall, well today is the day.... i fell and cut my finger......at first i thought it was just like a normal cut, i was wrong, the cut was deep, so deep that blood wouldn't stop oozing out from my fingertip.......i washed my hand again and again to get rid of the blood....to no avail, then i decided to ask for some band aid from the staff, luckily, the bleeding stopped shortly after that.....and this entry wouldn't be complete without pictures right?? so here goes..

OMG!!

2009-05-14T19:57:00.002+08:00

omg!!! i have once again successfully abandoned my blog......in think my blog holds the world record for the lowest frequency of updates....i am so sorry my good friends, Uni has not been kind to me lately, had 2 assignments right after the semster break, not to mention that i spent 4 days rushing for my economics assignment last week, which i think i messed up because when i was uber tired and stressed up when i was producing the final "product", then after that i had to study for my statistics test, so i was averaging on 4 hours of sleep per day for a week(with 0% coffee mind you ;), not very healthy at all, but this is the price you have to pay if you enjoy the semester break haha, so now that i have some breathing room, i shall update my blog!!

So with the semester ending in about 4 weeks, it's pretty much crunch time now!! Things that are left on my checklist are Marketing literature review on product branding, Marketing group presentation, Philosophy final essay, and statistics final assignment!! Then finals comes about one week after that!! Damn and i am so worried about economics now! couldnt get a study group together :( looks like its a solo battle with economics!! i shall start studying for it today!!!

On a not so distressing note, i have applied for a job!! If everything goes well, this well might be my first job, i applied for a nightfill job at a nearby Woolworths supermarket!! Basically i will have to work from 7pm-3am if the job needs me, for up to 20 hours per week, i know the hours are shit but at least i get a pretty decent paycheck :P

So that about sums it up for my update! I will try to update more of the time allows me to...and wish me luck on getting the job!! peace out and stay tuned! :)

Halftime!!

2009-04-11T18:31:00.003+08:00

Hey!! Happy Easter everyone!!! I am now halfway through my first Uni semester!!! I can still remember feeling all so excited for Uni...which is rather stupid if you were to ask me now,because now i just can't wait to get this semester over with!!! So i am currently having my 2 week long Easter holidays, and it does not give me a holiday-ish feel... because i have tonnes of work to do... my stats quizzes, my marketing literature review and presentation, my economics and philosophy assignment ....goshh... i think i'm starting to hate Uni!! :P....anyways, my holiday have been good so far,been relaxing and bumming around.... haha i didn't mentioned that i spent almost all friday playing Final Fantasy 10!!! well i didn't finish the last time i played...which was almost like 6 years ago?? Too bad the ps2 decided to die on me today, which is a Saturday......maybe this is some sort of message that i should get started on my work!!! C'mon!! i am not done with my holidays yet!!! I am still planning to go to the Easter show but i currently have no company to go with!!! anybody up for the easter show?? was supposed to go with a few friends from Newcastle, but just found out that they are going with a group of 40 people!!thats right!! 40 living breathing homosapiens!!!on a superpacked Sunday with around 100,000 more people there!!! As most people will agree, i would prefer a "smaller" group.. so i rejected them. Sorry guys!! :) Ohhh!!! and did i mention that i am gonna get a new phone!!!! More info on it on the bext post!!! Till then, cheers!!

Silly me

2009-04-08T23:33:00.005+08:00

I've done tonnes of silly things in my life, i think might even be doing silly things on a daily basis, like that time when i was supposed to finish 2 papers in 2 sessions and ended up rushing both in 1...not to mention the other time where i filled in my student number on the other surname area, coz it was under the surname and i assumed that you write your student id after your name right?? so to the lecturer, my name is now Teh 41622111 Theng Tsing.... damn i am an idiot......

So, my day started at 7am, i woke to hitch a ride from my cousin, who's office is around 10 minutes away from my Uni, convenient eh? :P, and yea, we left the house around 7:50am and faced the usual morning jam, and i reached Uni at 9am...which is pretty early since my tutorial starts at 10am, so i went to the computer lab to do a bit of revision and watch some Youtube(I can't watch Youtube at home.) Funny thing is, when i went for the tutorial.... no one was there, i was starting to think that class was canceled and everyone was off to an early easter party..lolol....turns out that we don't have tute for this week.....damn... my second tutorial doesn't start until 12pm, so i went to the library, hoping to find a book for my Marketing Literature review!! and i did!! not to mention that i almost gave up looking for it, and when i grabbed the last one, i thought to myself, if this one doesnt have it, i'll just do an online research...and i hit the jackpot immediately after that, the very topic that i am looking for!! Product Branding!!!! I couldn't be any luckier eh?

So the day went on as usual...until....around 2pm..... this one is quite embarassing actually haha... but i am gonna share it here anyways!! So i was in the toilet, about to do everyone does it the toilet, when suddenly, my belt buckle fell off and dropped to the cubicle next to mine, where some guy was taking a poop, i can tell by his leg position :P, so i used my feet to drag my belt buckle back to my side... i was soextremelyfucking embarrased after that.....wonder whats on that guy's mind when he saw my feet creeping into his cubicle......

Well.... that's pretty much it for today's silly events... maybe someday if i do more silly things and did not die from embarrasment, i will post it here again :P

I miss you.....

2009-04-02T12:15:00.003+08:00

I am always thinking about the good times we had, you were with me for almost every waking hour of my life, we spend some days together from 1oam till 2am, i thought i could simply move 4000 miles away from you and not think about you all the time, i was so wrong, i am so miserable without you here, sometimes i can't even sleep when i think back the old days, i just wished that you were here now......i can't wait for my holidays to see you again, but until then, i know you're in good hands......i miss you so much........................

God.... i must be the lamest person on earth..... (-_-") anyways, happy belated April Fool's day everyone, this year however is quite different from many other April Fool's day, this year, i did not witness any pranks or neither did i pull a prank on my friends......Damn i miss pissing people off on April Fool's day :P

2009-03-24T19:11:00.004+08:00

No... I am not talking about the hit series 24, sure wish i was, Jack Bauer can do so many things in 24 hours, he can save the president, save a bunch of hostages, save some random hostage, disarm a nuclear device, kill a bunch of baddies all in 24 hours, while i can't even balance my uni life and social life in 24 hours, let alone save the world, Uni is very much different from how i have been educated all these years, here lecturers do not care if you slack in the exercises or if you arrive late or even if you skip class, you are pretty much on your own in uni, almost everything is done all by yourself here...and i am not exactly a person who can sit and revise all night have i even mentioned how hard is it to make real friends here? Most of my friends are from the same tutorials, and we only meet once a week, unlike the 5 times a week schedule that we all have been used to, don't even talk about lectures or practicals, well in lectures i pretty much don't talk to anyone except maybe the guy beside me because the rest of the time is spent on listening to the lecture, and in practicals, everyone leaves once they complete the days questions... dammit i feel like i am losing my social skills here, i used to get along with a lot of people and never had any trouble making friends, i really don't know what is happening to me...anyways i got to return to my books or i will be left far behind!! ciao!

I give up!!

2009-03-21T14:48:00.003+08:00

After several cock ups when i was trying to upload several unofficial blogger layout skins, i finally gave up and stuck with a blogger layout instead, i know it sucks but i have to delay the revamp as i have many other more important matters to deal with for now... I'm not going to spend so much time on figuring these HTML codes out...damn, i should have paid more attention in HTML class last time, i used to find HTML as boring as watching a log rot and thought that since i'm not much of a IT person, i shall not give a damn about these stupid codes and stuff, well too bad so sad, so flame me for being an inept when it comes to HTML, maybe when i really have nothing better to do, i will figure out these damn codes and see how this thing works, for now i will need to get my shit together for the next philosophy test and try not to screw it up like last week, which i only scored 67.50%... wish me luck guys, and i hope this counts as some sort of update?

Blog Revamp

2009-03-14T10:34:00.003+08:00

Hey there everyone, as you may have already notice, i have changed the layout for my blog, and i'm thinking of doing a major revamp of my blog, starting from my blog name and maybe adding a blog header, i would appreciate any suggestions that any of you may have, especially on the blog name...and what other things i can do to make my blog more attractive, if you do have any suggestions, just leave them here or you can just tell me in msn, meanwhile i'm signing off to prepare for my coming Philosphy and Marketing test... Cheers everyone!

I need more practise!!!

2009-03-02T08:06:00.003+08:00

I've watched this video millions of time before i came to Australia, i was amazed from the first time until now, and also today i have unlimited bandwidth to spare, i can watch it over and over again!! it's people like this that make me want to practise 24/7, right now i am not even a tenth of a guitarist as he is, and he is only 16!!! speaking of which, i better go and practise while people are not trying to sleep, maybe after i buy a headphone that can be plugged into my amp, i can practise more often!!

Uni Life.....

2009-03-01T20:13:00.003+08:00

Hey there!! My last post was made a week ago(i think), and much have changed in that week! So here goes, my timetable has been rearranged!! now i only have to go to uni 4 times a week!! however that was not without a cost... my classes on Monday, Tuesday starts from 3pm to 8pm, and Wednesday from 10am to 1pm, Thursday would be from 5pm to 8pm..some might say i made a stupid decision by having so many evening classes, but i had no choice, i didn't want a 5 hour gap between classes and it's the lesser of the two evils, and not to mention that the train from my uni leaves at 8:02 if i want to make the 8:30 bus ride back home, that means i need to sprint my way from class to the station(the walking distance between one of the farther classes is 10 minutes), or i have to gain some sort of superhuman speed.... but at least i can still catch the 9pm bus back home....so it isn't that bad and also not to mention that evening classes are less packed and i can concentrate better.

And also i have now developed a new interest!!! i actually watch tv series!!!!! which was something i never did for couple of years...so far i've finished heroes Season 3, Merlin, Family Guy season 1, and also i am almost done with The Office season 2..... oh god.. i feel like such a girl now...i'm chasing The Office!!! I want to know if Jim will crash Pam's marriage?? will Pam marry Roy?!?!?! i can't believe i am so caught up with all these things haha!!

And that wasn't the only new interest ive developed!!! there have been a news addition to the household after my arrival here..... i will let the picture do the talking..

Nah.. i didn't buy it.. my cousin bought it..anyways playing games in HD is pretty cool!!! but too bad we only have one game now.... which is as you can see... "Dead Space" Where you blast mustated human corpses in pitch black darkness(pretty much like Doom if you ask me)

And that's pretty much it with whats been going on for this week...maybe i'll take some pictures in uni and post them here in my next post?

Life in Sydney so far

2009-02-21T14:11:00.005+08:00

It's been almost two weeks since i arrived here in Sydney, and surprisingly, i don't feel as homesick as i thought i would be... as a matter of fact, i don't feel like i am 4000 miles away from home either, but i'm sure no one wants to know how i feel know, so lets just cut the chase and see what i've done in 2 weeks!

On the 13th, i went to Uni for Orientation day, before going into the hall, i met this Brazilian dude, Rodrigo, who had lived in Malaysia for the past 2 years, and coincidentally, is also taking a degree in International Business. And when i was in the orientation hall, 90% of the people inside were Asian!! i was asking myself "I came all the way here to meet more Asians???", but it turns out that it was an orientation for international students, mostly people from Hong Kong, China, Korea, Singapore and Malaysia, hmm and there was this American dude i think... and more surprisingly i saw some students who went in with their parents!! i was damned surprised to see that anyone who is attending Uni needs to be accompanied by parents, maybe for "special" students, but they looks perfectly normal to me!! or maybe it's not for me to judge...oh well, it's none of my business anyways. lolz

The on the 16th, i went to Uni for enrolment, with a planned timetable in hand, i tried to mash all the classes into 3 days a week so that i don't need to spend too much money on transportation. unfornately all the good times were chosen by the local students and the International students whos surname starts with A-G or whatever, it's not fair that my surname starts with a T, we T-Z's get to choose last amongst all the International students, bad luck i guess.... so now i have to go to uni everyday, and on thursday just to attend one tutorial.... dammit!

Some random pictures to follow

My Student Card.....

My room....

My bed.. doesn't look like much, but trust me, it's damn comfortable!! i have trouble getting up in the morning.. i just don't want to wake up haha!

Hey there! this will be my very post from Sydney, the previous doesn't really count because i personally do not consider it as a post, so here's latest headlines on my life, on the night of my arrival, we had a Chinese New Year reunion dinner, and i must say that the food was great!

Dinner!! :P

Dinner + Relatives

We even had Lou Sang!! but with different ingredients with the one from Malaysia

After Dinner, a few cousins of mine wanted to play poker, since my uncle has a Poker Set and Table at the ready!!and they asked me to join!lolz haha i told them i never played before, but i joined them i the end..lol anyways we started with i think 5 or 6 chips per person, and as i learn the game, i found it very fun indeed!! haha, maybe it's because we didn't play with real money that made it so fun :P
Ian during mid game

Dave during mid game, gosh he's only 16 and look at he already has a knack for Poker!!

Me during mid game... i know i know i suck!!

However, i did win something back later

We played for about and hour or so and Joanne is already bugging Tien to leave, thats when a miracle happened, i continuosly won a few times and my winnings were like this!

My final winnings!!! and yes i was chatting on msn and playing poker at the same time :p

Devilzx

2009-02-04T20:26:00.001+08:00

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

wow, i currently have 3 more days until i leave for Australia, and due to the recent heatwave there, i have decided that something needs to be changed for good....i've cropped my "mop top" as many of my friends used to call it....well pictures are worth a millions words, so....here goes...

this is how i looked before the haircut....

drum rolls...........

more drum rolls.....

final drum rolls......................

oh gosh, i think i made a bad decision, actually i didn't cut my hair because of the heatwave, to be honest, i don't even know what came across my mind when i told the hairdresser "i want it short", some friends told me i look like a geek now!!! Perhaps the only excuse i can muster up is because i felt i needed a change?? lolzx

wtf

2009-01-21T20:34:00.002+08:00

You Should Learn Chinese

Surprised? You shouldn't be - Chinese is perfect for an ambitious person like you.

You're a natural entrepreneur, and a billion people are waiting to do business with you!

What Language Should You Learn?

i think this quiz is meant for and is made by Americans.. lol because i already know "Chinese", not to mention there is no "Chinese Language", it should be like mandarin, cantonese, hakka, etc etc.....haha

2009-01-13T20:19:00.002+08:00

was boringly surfing the web until i saw the ad for an upcoming movie, "Dragon Ball Evolution", one of my favorite cartoons back in the days, so decided to take a peek at the trailer..... not surpisingly, it looks kind of bad, i always doubted that anyone can pull of a live action dragon ball movie, it is just humanly impossible with the present technology(unless, of course, it's a crappy one), the power beams, the auras, the golden hair, the aliens....My biggest dissapointment is that Picollo from the trailer looks like The Grinch in armorsuit...wtf...

I know that they put a lot of effort into making movies and i'm gonna watch it when it's out, i may be wrong about it and remember people used to say that the Transformers movie wasn't going to be a success, and look how they surprised everyone!!anyways here's the trailer...

4 more weeks...

2009-01-11T23:26:00.003+08:00

It's 4 more weeks until i leave for Australia, and i'm feeling pretty nervous... sigh... little did i know i will feel like this, i was pretty excited when i was applying for Mac Uni, sure, i've left home for a couple of months when i was in national service(which i was very excited to go to as well), but this time i will be a few thousand miles away from home....But maybe i just need a little getting used to, same thing happened when i was in national service, i was pretty damn eager to have some sort of military training(or i used thought it would be) until i reached my camp, felt like crap for a week and was enjoying since then....damn i'll be missing my family and friends, and my desktop!!! Few of you might know that gaming and music is my form of stress release... whenever i play a game that i enjoy, all my worries dissapear and i won't be thinking of anything stupid....but i won't be able to bring my desktop to Australia, hence why i bought a laptop, a pavillion dv-4, a mid range one, she runs pretty smoothly except for gaming, my desktop is a 3gb ram, and runs on a Nvidia 8800gt which cost me rm900 for the card alone, back when i bought it, it was your best bang for yourbuck(a similar model sells for abt rm500+ now, shit!!), now ii'll have to get used to a 14inch, 2gb, Nvidia 9200m GS, laptop, oh well, at least it's still widescreen :P, and she plays HD DVD's(which is no longer in production!! WTF!!!).

But with everything bad(if this is even bad) that happens, comes a blessing, maybe i'll be able to put a stop on gaming and concentrate on studies when i'm there, hopefully Uni will keep me away from gaming and not the other way around!! lolz

on another note, HAPPY 2009!!! and that technically makes me 20, but theoretically i am still 19 going 20 coz my birthday is on november...ANYWAYS!!! I AM SO NOT PREPARED FOR BEING 20!!! BEING 20 MEANS NO MORE FOOLING AROUND, 20 MEANS IM NO LONGER A TEENAGER!! 20 MEANS ENTERING ADULTHOOD!!! AND BEING 20 MEANS PEOPLE CAN SUE ME!!!(not too sure abt this) and the list goes on and on....................

人的70岁。。。

2008-12-25T22:18:00.003+08:00

Decided to post this because it's really makes sense and it somehow explains our different life stages in our lifetime...

有一天，神創造了一頭牛。衪對牛說：「你要整天在田裡替農夫耕田，供應牛奶給人類飲用。你要工作直至日落，而你只能吃草。我給你50年的壽命。」牛抗議：「我這麼辛苦，還只能吃草，我只要20年壽命，餘下的還給你。」

神答應了。第二天，神創造了猴子。神跟猴子說：「你要娛樂人類，令他們歡笑你要表演翻觔斗，而你只能吃香蕉。我給你20年的壽命。」猴子抗議：「要引人發笑，表演雜技，還要翻觔斗，這麼辛苦，我活10年好了。」

神答應。第三天，神創造了狗。神對狗說：「你要站在門口吠。你吃主人吃剩的東西。我給你25年的壽命。」狗抗議：「整天坐在門口吠，我要15年好了，餘下的還給你。」

神答應。第四天，神創造了人。神對人說：「你只需要睡覺，吃東西和玩耍，不用做任何事情，只需要盡情享受生命，我給你20年的壽命。」人抗議：「這麼好的生活只有20年」

神沒說話。人對神說「這樣吧。牛還了30年給你，猴子還了10年，狗也還了10年，這些都給我好了，那我就能活到70歲。」神答應了。

這就是為甚麼我們的頭20年，只需吃飯、睡覺和玩耍。之後的30年，我們像一條牛整天工作養家。接著的10年，我們退休了，我們得像隻猴子表演雜耍來娛樂自己的孫兒。最後的10年，整天留在家裡，像一條狗坐在門口旁邊看門

America 2008 part 2(Disneyland)

2008-11-28T05:21:00.011+08:00

After a good night's sleep, we headed over to the Disneyland, which is one of the most famous landmarks of Los Angeles, hotel was also generous enough to provide all customers a free shuttle ride to Disneyland(but not generous enough to provide free WiFi ), so we got there at abt 9 and we also had two parks to choose from, the California Adventure park and another park which is named Disneyland.....

For today we decided to go to Disneyland Park as we bought a 2 day ticket and can come back again another day to explore the California Adventure park,

so i was busy looking around for nice scenes to capture, a band started to march in out of nowhere, and this is no ordinary brass band, they have worked here since the establishment of Disneyland, and it was some special day for them i guess...

and behind them were some Disney characters!!

Sadly, being an amateur photographer, i didn't take many nice pics, however i did take a lot of crappy pictures, which i am won't posting here, hopefully my photography skills will improve in the near future so i can attract more readers? haha

So being in Disneyland, the rides are the main attractions right? i took many of them without a fuss, but i wouldn't say so for the "space mountain" ride, that was the most batshit insane ride i experienced in my life, it plunges u at i dunno how bloody fast speed in the darkness with turns sharper than Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, after the ride ended, hey wait, it was only half way through when i started to feel sick, i was thinking "did i just came all the way here to vomit?" i recovered by drinking some coke, having some lunch, and sitting for abt and hour or so...

Then i was thinking finally i can enjoy the rides again!! so i took this innocent looking wild west style roller coaster, hmm we have something like that in sunway too right? won't be too bad eh? how wrong was i, 10 seconds into the ride and i was clawing at the safety bar thing, I WANNA GET OUT OF HERE!!" it was actually something similar with the earlier space mountain, but with a different theme, when the ride ended, my stomach is starting to fail me , i need to vomit somewhere!!finally found a toilet in abt 15 mins...i could tell u that was one hell of a ride!!

And as if the upset stomach isn't enough, there was a forest fire raging nearby(30 minutes away if im not wrong)the sky turned from clear blue to smoggy ash colored, compare this picture with the ones from above.

We spent the rest of the day walking around exploring, nothing much to be told there but i did saw one really cool attraction, but it's only for kids, haha it's a "Jedi Academy", kids get to train in the ways of the force and they get to battle with Darth Vader, how cool is that? i would certainly join in 10 years ago.. haha
Well, that pretty much sums up my day in Disneyland.. Vegas is coming up next!!!

America 2008 part 1

2008-11-25T13:24:00.005+08:00

As a few of you may know, i am going to spend this holiday season in various parts of America, and this will be my first attempt at a travel log.. hope you will find it interesting! :)

I left for America on the 14th of November, first flight was to Hong Kong at 9am, transit before i board the plane the America, and after 15 hours in an airplane, i finally reached my destination, Los Angeles at 1pm 14th November!! GMT is cool!! i just experienced 2 fridays!!! ;)

The first thing i arrived in the hotel, Knotts' Berry Farm Resort. i asked the receptionist about their WiFi, good news is they have fast WiFi, and bad news is the bloody expensive rate, which pretty much explains why i haven't been online for 10 days, $4.99 for a 1 hour plan, $9.99 for a 24 hour plan and $149.99 for a 1 week plan, or one can also use the desktops at their lobby, which rates are even more outrageous, here $5 gets you 15 minutes, and 30 cents for every subsequent minute added with 50 cents for every page u surf!! the current exchange rate is rm3.50 to USD $1,so try to imagine how i felt!!

I pretty much stayed in the hotel room for the rest of the day as i was damned tired after spending 12 straight hours in the plane, i can tell you taking a poop in the sky is quite an experience lolz

And yea, one more thing, for dinner, i went into a chicken dinner restaurant 5 minutes away from the hotel and when i got my food, i was amazed at their godlike appetite!! half a chicken per person!! excluding the side meal of soup,salad,bread,and mashed potato!!! i could only finish a quarter of the chicken with all the side dishes, packed the rest for the next day!!

Well, the first part of my travel log is done!! haha stay tuned for more! please? :P

no entry?

2008-11-25T12:20:00.003+08:00

i know there hasn't been any new entries for quite some time, and i guess i have zero readers now, but do not despair!! as i have found new blogging material, ideas are now flowing like my nose when i have a cold!!okay,, bad example, more like flowing like a water tap!! haha so be on a lookout for a new post people!!

DRIVING LICENSE!?!!??!!!!?!!!

2008-09-18T21:35:00.006+08:00

As some of you may know, i am taking my JPJ test today(driving license test), and i am here to announce that...................................it was a complete disaster... lolzx...I SCREWED UP, BIG TIME, as hard as i tried to remain calm as advised by all my friends, i was as NERVOUS as a criminal waiting for his execution, i was so nervous that when i was called up for my on the road test, i couldn't really feel my feet, thus unable to control the clutch properly, causing the engine to stall, i repeated that for 3 times and my chance of getting a license A.S.A.P vanished, but wait, i had one more chance at the tracks, well i wanted to at least pass one section!!!but alas, my early failure raised much doubts about myself and i have lost all my will to complete the test, because from my lessons, my biggest and perhaps only problem was on the slopes, for some reason, i can't seem to position my tyre on the yellow line, other than that, i was confident that i can pass everything else with ease, how wrong was i when my engine stalled 3 times in a row, destroying my confidence and morale, as i have never stalled my engine 3 times in a row before, and not to mention i expected an easy pass on the road, my biggest worry was the slopes..... well no point crying over split milk, i have only myself to blame for being freaked out, well at least when i repeat i know what to expect from those JPJ officers........ i'll just have to remind myself that they are not scaryt at all when i resit!!

I renewed my passport recently and came across the old pictures of me, since my blog is lacking of updates, i decided to post the pics here,

and before you say anything, yes i know, i never fail to look like crap in all the photos and these are lousy shots... but an update is an update right? :P

a real update...finally

2008-08-08T17:56:00.006+08:00

i guess i haven't really updated my blog for months now, well doings tags aren't really updating, is it? oh well, here a scoop on what's been happening......

First of all i should be getting my L license in a day or two, THEN i can really learn how to drive, i can't stand driver's ed classes, 11 hours of it if u put them together.....pure torture, not to mention that i failed my first attempt at the undang test by 1 mark!!! my second attempt wasn't far off either, barely passed with 43/50, again, by one mark.....i guess i just have something with the one mark thing...

Also,after waiting for weeks, i finally got my guitar,and i've been spending the past week learning how to play a guitar, can't play a song yet, trying to memorize the chords now, then i can go to tabs or i could play a song with chords....

And last but not least, i got the offer letter to Macquarie University!! now all i need to do is to sign some confirmation letter and get a student visa and get a medical check-up, then i'm as good as gone...might be leaving around January next year... phew... that means i have a few more months to catch up with friends until i leave for good....

2008-08-07T21:42:00.002+08:00

You Are Occasionally a Wimp You're pretty tough in every day life. You don't back down easily.
However, you can be a wimp at times, especially in stressful situations.
You can be overwhelmed or intimidated or just plain scared when life gets rough.
While these are natural reactions, you may want to face your fears a little more.

You Are a Little Negative...

You can be negative from time to time, but you rarely go overboard.
You have a realistic view of the world, and most people appreciate your honest insights.

Like everyone else, you have your darker moods.
But when you're feeling super negative, you keep your feelings to yourself.

Your Response is: Flight You rather leave then deal with a dangerous or uncomfortable situation.
You can't deal with too much drama or stress. It's really hard for you to cope.

You are easily scared, freaked out, or intimidated.
And while it's good to be prudent, not everything may be as freaky as it seems!

You Are a Realist You don't see the glass as half empty or half full. You see what's exactly in the glass.
You never try to make a bad situation seem better than it is...
But you also never sabotage any good things you have going on.
You are brutally honest in your assessments of situations - and this always seems to help you cope.

dilemma??

2008-06-25T18:20:00.004+08:00

with most of my friends heading of to uni, i'm still deciding which uni to go, and the worst part is that i may be going for the february 09 intake, that's 7 months, ahh wel, planning to attend English courses at British Council to improve my english in order to cope with the lectures at Australia, but my main dilemma now is that i don't know which uni i should go, my first choice is Macquarie University, second would be University of New South Wales, following would be Sydney University, University of Techonology Sydney, or University of Newcastle, with all of them sitauted in the Sydney area and the tuiton fees similar(except for newcastle), the main concern here would be the location......

Macquarie Campus

Unversity of New South Wales

Sydney University

University of Technology Sydney

Edmund being the alcholic, got drunk from orange juice and started asking for Brandy from the waiters, unfortunately they don;t serve any form of alcohol that night, Edmund got so angry that he smashed a bottle on the waiter's head, lucky for that guy that SJMC is just 5 minutes away, note to self, never deny Edmund his alcohol.... anyways i should have a lot of pics to share, but being the stupid cow that i am, i left my camera at a friends house and had to use Edmund's camera.... so i will upload more pics when he sends them to me!!

Finals is one month away and i have 3 CCA's to complete and one Mock Trial, i've even begun to review my notes!! wtf?! i haven't been this hardworking since.......ever.... not SPM(didn't took it seriously enough) not first semester( was quite a breeze compared to now), sometimes, i am beginning to think that Mr. Moaz has influenced my work attitude!! he has partially cured me from my laziness!! thanks sir!!! but still, laziness is still in me.....gotta get rid of it!!!!

Good news

2008-04-26T22:05:00.003+08:00

i just checked with The University of Macquarie again, yess!! finally i am just a few points off from qualifying for their undergraduate program, the one i am currently aiming for is either Business Admin, International Business or a double degree in business admin and psychology, which all require a score of 82 and my score is currently 80!!. now that i'm inches away from my goal, i gotta work extra hard already, if everything goes well, i might be leaving for Australia soon...

What my name means...

I never believed in these crap before, but after seeing this, i have to think twice!! although it is not 100% accurate, but most of them are describing my characteristic well enough!! the bolded words are the correct "points" about me..

You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous.
You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things.
Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.
You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries.
You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.
You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.
You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

Pyramid Friday

2008-04-19T23:49:00.005+08:00

Just yesterday, David booked some tickets for the movie "Forbidden Kingdom", so me, Edmund, Mark, Alex, John and Lauren decided to follow him, screw Allan for not going!!!! we had fun u know?!?! anyways, we were planning to let a guy sit with Lauren at the double seated seats, we made a deal that last one there will sit with Lauren, but ended up me and john sit at the double seat....damn gay...lolzx, now to the movie, personally, i think the storyline is damn stupid coz they had an american teen go back to ancient china to save the monkey king......okay okay....i'm cool with that...whats worse...some of the ancient chinese people actually speaks english... how stupid is that?? okay, enough criticizing, i really liked the fighting scenes as they were damned good, thats about all the good stuff, the fight scenes.....shit....after the movies, we walked around pyramid and i decided to try a Carl's Junior burger as Mr. Moaz highly recommended it...rm12 for one single burger, damned expensive, but it's not like i eat it very often.... first impression when i got it, it's damned big, bigger than my fists!! tastes good too, but the price tag turns it off.....after that, David and Edmund decided to look for boxers... uh oh....one XXL and one XXS sized boxer....where to find?? after almost half an hour of looking through the shelves, they found it!! by then, Mark was half dead and Alex just received a call from his dad that he will have to watch the forbidden kingdom again with his family!! good luck man!! After walking around doing nothing much, we finally settled down for dinner at Kenny Rogers...cracked some stupid jokes and another day is gone....and i actually had fun!! we need to do this more often, but not too often as one outing like this has burned a big hole in my wallet!! spent around rm50 just like that....

before the movie

David and Mark thinks they can stillA fit inside...

8800gt problem yet to be resolved..........

2008-04-09T20:11:00.000+08:00

i got a new 8800gt as i was still under warranty and now the problem has only gotten worse!!! it blackscreens even when im not playing online games......damn frustrating......but i decided to look for a solution on forums once again, after some research, i figured out that most 8800gt's have similar problems and have found what i hope is a solution to my prob, hmm... the comp temperature hits 55c when i am only running msn....crap that's hot, normal pc's run at 40+- while running several programs...........so i decided to tweak my graphic card fan speed from 26% to 70%....now my only worry is that will i overload my graphics card???

OSSLT

2008-03-27T19:56:00.000+08:00

Today is the test day for OSSLT(Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test), and i did something very stupid...

The Test is split into 2 sessions and 2 papers, and during the first session, we had one and a half hours to complete paper 1, little did i know that paper 2 is to be done in the second session( i did not attend the osslt workshop). What i did was i completed the paper 1 and paper 2 in the first session, not knowing anything. Only when i was halfway finishing my essay did the lecturer told me that i can't do paper 2, WTF!!, i stopped with my essay half finished and my intelligence challenged, i felt really stupid, so during the 20 minutes break between session 1 and 2,i was to stay in the staffroom to prevent me from leaking the information on paper 2. Fair enough, the nightmare part is when session 2 started, i completed my essay in 30 minutes and i still have one and a half hours of waiting(p.s i hate waiting), okay, i tried to sleep....but i can't, tried counting sheeps even, didn't work, so i literally sat in the examination room for 1 1/2 hours doing nothing....crap....lesson learnt here people..

sepang!!!

holidays?!?!

2008-03-18T23:08:00.000+08:00

i just sent my pc for a "checkup", because of a unknown problem, even the technicians are baffled by the cause of my blackscreening(which happens only while playing mmorpg's), they told me to leave it to them for a few days, it's been only 2 days and all i can say is damn i feel empty without my pc, with all my assignment data in it, and 800 pics and around 300 songs, suddenly i am plunged into a world of darkness, i know, i am over reacting, so i got myself 2 seasons of Rome the series and i can say that it's a good series and it may keep me entertained while my pc is away, so i am here now armed with some chips and coke, i "explore" ancient rome...

too hot!!!

2008-03-10T18:38:00.000+08:00

damn, looks like i need to splash more cash on my pc again... T.T after checking on a pc tech help forum, i think i have found the problem with my pc, when i bought my nvidia 8800gt, the guy told me this card is real hot and needs high power, so i bought a 460 watt power supply to replace my 300 watt, not knowing that is the bare minimum to run this card, i think im going to get one above 550 watts and not forgetting with that i need an equally good cooling fan, damn i estimate that i will need to fork out around rm500 for these two items...... and i thought rm 1000 for a 8800gt was a steal, i forgot that there is always a catch.... damn...

today, John decided to take his revenge for blogging about his bad sense of where to eat, so he grabbed some loan shark ad stickers and sticked it to Alan's arm and my back, not to forget that he grabbed some random guy to read the sticker on Alan's back.....note to self, John...is a very dangerous man...

LRT technical problem...again!!

2008-02-27T08:23:00.000+08:00

i understand that problems do occur once in a while and things don't as we like, but this is too much!!! for quite a few times, the putra lrt has caused me to be late for several times and today is the worst!!!! it was all running smoothly until i reached the amapang park station, when only 2 out of 4 doors opened, causing people to psuh around, okay, that's tolerable, but it gets worse, they stop in the station without opening the door for about a minute or so and they start to depart several minutes after closing the doors, which caused a massive delay for everyone, so i heard a few "tch's" and sighs, i wasn't that pissed until they even slowed the train down, so the train would normally take 3 minutes to reach its next destination has became 10,i guess something went really as they had to suspend the train at taman jaya due to technical difficulties, i felt like the luckiest guy as my destination was taman jaya and the train was suspended IN taman jaya, how lucky can you get?? ahh.. putra lrt cannot afford mistakes like this as many many people are relying on the lrt system, if you go down, we go down, i sure hope that the government will fulfill their promise to improve the transportation system as we need it badly!!!! i am sure that almost everyone has come across their own version of lrt screw ups right?

National service

2008-02-26T12:00:00.000+08:00

i got a random sms from one of my national service friends a few days ago, hmm,.. reminded me of my national service days, you can say that i enjoyed my 3 months of national service as i can tell you i've learned a lot from that experience,amongst them are washing my own clothes to standing under the scorching hot sun for 2 hours straight, but the most important thing is that i have learn to get along with people, regardless of ethnicity, in camp, we came from many different parts of Malaysia, and that has gotten rid of my misconception about others, people always say people from this race are like that, often enough you will hear "it's them again,it's always them it's in their nature to act like that", this common stereotype against other races has made my first few days... hellish, but i soon made friends and found out that those statements are not always true and it was after that i have started enjoying being a national serviceman, for those of you who got your letter and is trying to escape, you have to feel lucky that you have the chance as it is only a once in a lifetime experience...for me, i would love to go again, but alas, this is only my point of view and i am sure that everyone has their own opinions, and this post of mine is not intended to offend anyone or whatsoever

the john teh incident...

2008-02-26T08:56:00.000+08:00

it was just a normal break as usual until John brought us to "Pan's bakery" to eat, okay, first impression, nice environment and atmosphere, we(except for john) thought that this might be a good place after all, until the food came, first of all, they didn't take my order and i got served half an hour later, watching my friends chow down their food, then, complains flew, "the fries suck!!" "this chicken is crap!!" "the rice is like ketupat!!" "ben, cancel your order!!" i somehow decided to try it myself what is so bad, i eventually got served at 11:30, where my class starts at 11:45, not forgetting that college is 10 minutes walk away, i had to choke down my food and rush to college, when i reached class, i was on the verge of puking!! Yes, John, if you are reading this, you owe me lunch or you could keep clicking on my ad for an hour!!

bomb scare in inti?!

2008-02-20T09:04:00.000+08:00

if any of you guys are studying in the subang area( taylors, metro, inti, sri kl) you should have already know that there was a bomb scare in inti college yesterday at arounf 4pm, i didnt witness it first hand yesterday as i was sick at home,but what i know is that they got everyone evacuated and had the firefighters a.k.a Bomba to help with the situation, whether the bomb was real or not is still a mystery to me and my bet would be it's just a prank, i mean, why would anyone want to bomb a college? i mean if i were a terrorist(which i am not) and i had a bomb(also which i do not have), i would bomb the parliament or something like that, but who knows? after all, it takes a terrorist to know another, but i sure hope that it's just a prank as i do not like the idea that the college right beside mine is going to explode at any given time!!

need computer expert advice!!!

2008-02-11T13:23:00.000+08:00

i need some computing advice here, really hope that i can get some feedbaack soon, lately i tried a online game called mo siang online, really fun, but what makes me mad is that whenever i play that game on my pc, the screen will suddenly go black and i have to restart the computer, i tried tweaking the security systems and firewall, and also re-installing but none of that seems the solve the problem, the funny thing is that it runs smoothly on my 4 year old comp but not my new comp(with the nvidia 8800GT), i've tried looking in forums but no solutions have been posted, so if anyone knows what to do or you just know a computer expert, just let me know,i thank you in advance.

HAPPY CNY!!

2008-02-10T21:20:00.000+08:00

Let me wish all of you a belated happy chinese new year, forgive me for not wishing this earlier, but i am here sincerely wishing everyone a prosperous and healthy new year!!

financial crisis!!!

2008-01-30T21:35:00.000+08:00

I need help!! not because of the 8800GT(which my dad helped me pay some), okay let me be honest, i have been ruthlessly spending my money on food these days,now my wallet's tight and i was forced to withdraw another rm50 from what's left of my national service pay, guys if u want to help, be kind enough to click on the ads on my blog for at least 1000 times to support me in my current state....LOLzx

nVidia 8800GT!!

2008-01-26T21:00:00.000+08:00

finally, i have completed one of my new year resolutions, i had just upgraded my pc, added 1gb of ram and most important of all.....i bought the nVidia 8800GT, it's considered the biggest bargain for a high end graphic card, costing rm900 each(plus a free original game), it is only fourth to the nVidia 8800 ultra(which is a monster), which cost around rm3000!!! i know rm900 for a graphic card is expensive but, i won't be worrying about upgrading for at least 3 years to come as the 8800 series is currently the most powerful graphic card known to man, mine being fourth behind the ultra, GTX and GTS...ahh one new year resolution ticked off!!

first day of new semester

2008-01-09T09:44:00.000+08:00

finally stepped back to college ground again for the day's lecture, i was surprised to see very few new students in icpu, but i did see a lot of new faces around, i assume they would be from CAL(Cambrigde A-levels) or SAM(South Australian Matriculation), most of my classmates are old second semester guys, except for the individuals and families class, where among 18 students, only 4 of us are 2nd sem people. ah well, i've gotta work very hard this semester to get my score to level 4(which is 80%-100%), my results from last semester was not good, i scored a mere 71% for my total average, quite dissapointed at myself, but i have no one but myself to blame, that's for all the slacking!!you lazy bum!! haha, so i have set a target for myself, hopefully i won't let myself down again!!

new semester!!new timetable

2008-01-08T12:36:00.000+08:00

went back to college to get my new timetable for this semester, to my horror, my lecture starts at 8 a.m!!!!if i didn't told you, it takes me almost 2 FREAKING HOURS TO GET TO COLLEGE FROM MY HOUSE!! last semester, my lecture starts at 9 so i could wake up 6 in the morning and arrive early, but not this semester, i'll try get to request a change, but i doubt they would allow it, because NO ONE WANTS TO ATTEND THE FIRST PERIOD!! so, i guess i'll have to get used to waking up even earlier than before....good luck to me!!

独唱情歌

2008-01-05T12:22:00.001+08:00

talking about a genius mixture of music and lyrics, this is my all time favorite song, the beautiful meaning of the lyrics, combined with the marvelous music, brings out the true meaning behind this song, not to mention that i especially love duet songs, one guy and a girl that is, i love this song so much, i am using it as my alarm clock and message alert!! of course i've lost count of how many times i've listened to this song, it's a safe bet it's above 1000, this is only the shortened version and i can't the full version of imeem, anyways, do enjoy the song...

tank:下弦月星满天

像谁泪涟涟

一阵风一首歌摇晃思念

只恨年少爱逞强

为小事轻言离别

selina:在春天过冬天张眼睛冬眠

一颗心一种病不停落叶

旧情怎么那么长

打了绕了几千结

合:有没有一把剑

可以真斩了藕断丝连

有没有一条线

能缝扯散了缘

合:独唱情歌最苦涩

逃不了的折磨

当生死相许说出口

别后悬念依旧

合:独唱情歌最苦涩

管不住的离愁

赶下眉头又上心头

我好想再暖和你手

tank:下弦月星满天像谁泪涟涟

她微笑她捧花都看不见

我只听着你从前

捧着声张的誓言

selina:在春天过冬天张眼睛冬眠

看倔强带幸福越走越远

有时不愿让一点

最后却失去一切

selina:我站在柳絮扎眼寂寞胡同

谁在弄堂忽然沉默泪流

Apologize

2008-01-05T12:06:00.000+08:00

Recently heard this on the radio and i instantly loved this song, though i have never experienced the meanings that are being expressed in the song, nevertheless i still love for the genius mix of sound and lyrics!! two thumbs up to this song!!!

I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

Bridge (guitar/piano)

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...
