Mak™I want technology to work for me, not the other way round. September 21 Life Lessons #1 Well well.. there goes my year 2 sem 1 final examination, came and went like a hurricane.. 3 months holiday has started.. time to do something abit.. productive instead of sitting at home for 3 months.. lets see i can find something to do these few months..
Hmm.. i have to admit my childhood is not a colourful one lolx.. name the toys that u guys owned since u r a child.. digimon? yoyo? tamiya? cool lego sets? playstation? gameboy? well the list goes on and on.. but yeah i dont own either of them. Sounds like a boring childhood eh? Well, i used to thought that when i was younger.. but in the end i learnt something useful, a lesson of life , perhaps this is how my parents teach me.. perhaps just coincidence. I have learn that for wht i want, i need to earn it myself, and to rely as little as possible from others. That is one of the reasons i seldom ask for something more of my parents.. such as car.. if i want a car i will earn it myself, not getting it from my parents. Thts y i know my public transport route well and efficiently to get to my destination. its true that malaysian public road transport system is laughable but so far i still find it is sufficient enough to bring me to the places that i need to go. Self reliance is one of the first life lesson that i have learnt and theres more life lessons .. for those who are interested anyway zzz.. i guess the popularity of my blog will definitely take a plunge from writing these stuff..... August 17 Long live, the human race This is something i planned to blog sometime ago,however, due to the crazily tight schedule lately, until now i only can finally have time to ...sleep as much as i like, play some games, and enjoy the process of doing nothing until the final exam come lolx..
Find it wierd a titled my blog this way? perhaps so. To me, all religion is good, they never preach u to kill each other, rob, rape or anything like that. However, at a same time, it can be a powerful tool for someone to manipulate for his own deeds. Look at Osama.. he managed to influenced ppls to do all the bombings for him, disguised as him..... just by saying " we do this on the name of our god" and look wht happen? thousands died, and million's anger and anguish turned into hatred to Islam. Was it fair to the religion which does nothing wrong? not at all. It was a man's propaganda from start, starting so called holy war, when the religion has nothing to do with it. Humans tend to fight over the differences, and this is why we cant have a peaceful world. What does it takes to reunite the human race? an alien invasion? a major asteroid impact that can wipe out the earth? The doomsday? Think of it.. if one of those were to happen, i believe the world would really work together , each contributing their expertise to stop the disaster, for only 1 reason, the existence of the human race.
So when none of this happen, like now, there are just some ppl like to nitpick, fight for some unnecessary matters. US for example, it is undoubtedly the superpower of the century and does this means u have the right to interfere with other country home affairs? or even attack a country for oil in the name of.. combating terrorism? The world has never been fair, it has always been controlled by the high and mighty, doing whatever they want using some lousy reason, and to provoke racialism among the common population. Is it that hard to unite and improve ourselves, how to stop rising sea level, how to stop another major earthquake from killing thousands, how bout setting up an asteroid defense system that will ensure our survival?
Therefore after some thoughts, not to say i dont believe in religions, i believe it has its own roles in eveyone lifes, does it matter there is only 1 creator or more? does it worth to fight over a simple topic like that? really, i guess the creator/creators doesnt even want to see their followers start a war, fight over these stuff. What important now is we are all here, to advance ourself as intelligent beings, to discover, invent new things to help other humans, peacefully. That is i believe wht all religions preach. Hence, I believe in the human race. Believing in something we all can fight for. Believing that we could fight for the common, not over the differences. believing that we could fight for the future, not for the past. Long live.. the human race. July 19 An inspiring story In africa, there is a lion and a deer. the lion chases the deer for food or it will starve to death while the deer obviously, run for its life to avoid becoming the lion's meal. There's a rule with it, when the last sunlight is out everyday, both the lion and deer would rest, and when the very first sun ray hit the skies, the chasing continues. Wht does this story tells?No matter u r the lion or the deer, it doesnt matter, because u have to outrun the other one in order to survive. A cruel story, yet wickedly true to the reality. So are u ready to run when the very first sunlight appears in the sky? July 13 越忙就越不想做东西？ 哈哈，我还真的是好久没用华文来打部落客。。一来我的华文不太好。。二来我打华语字实在是慢到离谱=.= 最近真的好忙，忙得不想做任何东西！可能是进入了第二年，功课也随着增加吧？！真是好累 =.= 有可能我会开另一个部落客。。来写一些我的看法，想法。。等我的得空些吧 ^^.. 单单打几行字已经要我的命！！haiz i think use back english faster lolx.. July 09 july 9th, last 7 weeks of studying week of 2008 Forget about the crappy title above, i donno wht title should i put for this post. Its been 20 years i live in a so called democratic country. is it just me or do u felt the same that we lived under somewhat similar of autocracy/tyranny? Its has been some days since the last general election. Things should just back to normal by now, but im ashamed to say tht, the reality is far from it. In short, we are in a path of destruction. Look how politically unstable we are in today, share markets dipped past 1150 as we speak. Rising petrol prices, rising of rice prices, rising of just about everything associated just by rising both oil and rice, the effect to normal citizen is just staggering. and to make matter worse, the ruling government acts worse then a 4 year old kid who just lost his toys, cut funding for some state ( i dowan to get caught by saying out the name) development funding. To make matter worse, there is a never ending battles between the highest officials in the country. We cant define who's wrg and who's not, cause in politics, theres never a line tht separates between truth and lies. Its all about how to achieve ur goal, be it publicity or uproar of citizens. Its clear that someone is now imprisoned somewhere by someone because he defended and tell out the truth, which doesnt last long, who knows wht happen behind the scene?
Although its a crappy title, it is the truth ... after this 7 weeks, its another round of fearsome examination and after that its an overdue holiday for a tired mind. Without thinking so far, i wonder why this semester just got more busy? busy of doing nothing most of the time but still assignments are still piling up. Overall, its just another semester although my life have some changes a little bit. Still wondering could it be better or for the worse.
Its been long since i blog stuff on technology lolx.. but really i think it could turn off most of the ppl just by looking at title haha.. so im not going to discuss much .. I believe from the last time i mentioned that HD3450 is great for HTPC, looks like AMD did it again . This time around, the best buy for RM700 gamers price range would be HD4850. unbelievable value at any angle u look at it. Grabbing a PC lately? how bout considering Intel Q6600 quad-core cpu for RM690?
There u have it. a rojak post of my thoughts,my life and the technology. Life just gotten more monotonous and boring , making me sometimes just dont have the mood to blog. thx for reading. have a nice day :)
July 01 A very depressed me Its been a while since i last blog. Marching into second year of my degree life, it seem to be much more tiring. Assignments pilling up, and most of the subs i have yet to understand much. I just wish i could freeze time, and do all those stuff slowly .. Last month starts off badly.. much of the things i did doesnt seems right, which only added more on my already stressful mind.. I would say last month is the most unhappy month of this year.. well so far.. on a brightside, june has come to an end, perhaps so is my overdue bad luck? March 29 Week 13,final semester,first year. Time do flies, especially when it is ridiculously near to exam periods. Again and again, i missed my goals academically, pushing my dreams farer and farer behind. Time has proven again and again, my laziness has no cure. Last year, around this time around, i did real bad in management studies coursework marks and i promised myself never to be lazy again. Fast forwarding to today, yes a year has passed but i still cant cure my laziness ..zzzzz.. history repeats itself again where my maths coursework marks are seriously low, barely passing the mid term test. Not to mention my circuit theory test,i wouldnt want to face the disastrous result which is yet to be announced. sigh..
Its ok to forget the past, as long u learn from it. i used to tell someone who was haunted by the past, but me myself, heh, didnt take my own advice. Its already week 13, a week tht could caused inner panic in me, for me who is ready for anything BUT the finals. 3 weeks and counting down. tick tock tick tock~ March 09 Malaysian 12th General Election Yesterday is the most important day in our country, our general election day. Day before yesterday, i've gone to a DAP speech in SS2 wai sek kai, and i truly enjoyed it. This is not the same as those concert. This is about our country. For those who r there, u can feel the unity of all races, to VOTE FOR CHANGE. needless to say, the crowd there is visually stunning, easily surpass thousands of ppl, in a crowded small area outside wai sek kai. Y i say i feel the unity of all races? Look at this time election, the opposition put aside their racial difference, unite and aim for 1/3 of the parliamen seats. Unlike the rulling parties in penang, haven even election already quarrel who will be the next MB. It wasnt a pleasant night there though, it rains on that day, but, supporters never left the place, continue listening to the candidates speech with umbrellas. Throughout the night, i can say that the best speakers are Tony Pua Kiam Wee of PJ utara candidate and Gobin Singh of Puchong candidate. Entertaining and meaningful speech, they pointed out everything we should know as a citizen of malaysia. 1 more thing that shocked everyone, is that ATRIA shopping center will be demolished and instead, a 33 storey high rise office + shopping mall will be rebuilt on that area without consulting the nearby resident. Imagine such a tall office towers in a cramp housing estate, which WILL cause traffic jam, not to mention that those houses nearby will be devalue.
Back to the election day, my parents and i glued infront of the television from 8.30pm to 3 am to stay on with the latest news, it was slow at best =.=||... fortunately, my frens call me tune to malaysiakini and sinchiew-i from the internet to get latest feeds on the election polls. As time passes by, it haven gotten more and more intense as we all hope that the oppositions get their 1/3 seats in the parliamen. For those who dont know why this is important, it is because the rulling government have to get a more then 2/3 votes in the parliamen seats to get a bill passed. say.. lets raise the petrol for 10 cents per liter.. if the opposition has less then 1/3 of parliamen seats, they dont have the denial power to deny this issue.
Fortunately, the wrath of the malaysian citizen is shown, with over 5 STATES handed over to the opposition parties, and just a simple majority for BN to continue rulling the country, IT IS A HAPPY DAY FOR US ! For the very 1st time, all races unite to fight, to show that BN is not invincible, they cant do anything they like, as if they OWN the country. They dont, it is the malaysian citizen that own this country. We demand for change, and now BN shall wake up and truly serve the country. All i can say to the losing BN candidates, such as those in pj region candidates, it is not u deserve to lose, only that voters dont vote for the candidates anymore, they voted for the parties instead,选党不选人.
Therefore, in my humble opinion, may 13 wont happen now and here. This is a change that most of the citizens of malaysian want, be it malays, chinese or indians. this is no more racial differences because we want for a change. For a better tomorrow and a better Malaysia, it has been started. February 09 My Dream House Everyone should have a dream house in my opinion. Imagine, after a hard days work, returning home and relax in peace and tranquility is the best anyone could get. Of course, if i have the money, i will build a house from scratch more or less from what i ill be describing here. BEWARN:THIS IS AN EXTREMELY LENGTHY AND POSSIBLY BORING BLOG. CONSIDERED URSELF INFORMED TO PROCEED FURTHER.
Everyone has a different dream house, and mine, would be a revolutionary from what we used to see in msian houses. 1st of all, the house is fully electrically sustainable, means that it doesnt need any electricity, or at least offload 50% of power from TNB . There are few combinations to achieve this, the most normal is harnessing solar energy, with whole rooftop covered by high-efficiency solar panel ( i remember i read current highest is ~40% efficient ), coupled with microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) , a variant of fuel cell technology, which is able to achieve up to 68% from waste,ie,shit, possibly rotten vegetables leg and stuff like that. Not to mention we could also harness wasted energy from air conditioning through peltier effect. Some of u doesnt know what peltier effect is, let me explain. Peltier effect is the electricity generated when both sides have temperature differences. We shall talk about how to generate electricity utilizing peltier effect for air conditioning later. All electricity generated is stored in a supercapacitor ( a type of new capacitor that made mainly off carbon nanotubes ). Well, u all might have observe the potential draw backs from these methods, and the worst case scenario will still.... draw power from TNB power grid.
I personally like a house made off mainly steels and glass. bricks are acceptable, woods are none preferable. I also dislike curtains. It need to be washed and it dont really look nice on some occasion. Well u just cant exposed ur whole house of glass and steel to passerby right? yup, the glass of my dream house is a special polarized type of glass, which u can toggle transparent or opaque or anything between, means that u can control how "transparent" ur glass to be with a flip on the console. Also and obviously, the glass used is added with another layer for added protections from rock throws ( think woven glass fiber ).
I loved natural lightning. The light from the sun is so beautiful, it beats any artificial lightning anytime. Well, i am thinking of a way of collecting natural sunlight through reflecting sunlight off say.... pillars from the garden walls to the top of the house, and then redistribute to every corner of the house, through fiber optics and when before entering each room, it is passed through a polarizer, depends how bright u want for ur room, u can " control the sunlight " . Inside the room, fiber optics that brought in sunlight is reflected to mirrors in each corner to light up the whole room. What if suddenly 1 huge cloud cover those pillars? well doesnt matter... automatically a drop of intensity of light will trigger the light sensor to compensate the loss of light with ordinary house lightning, LED style. When i mentioned LED lightnings, dont think of small lights that u see on electrical circuits yet, it is a new type of lightning that has even higher efficiency compared to fluorescents lights. The transition is so smooth that we dont know the difference as the systems monitors the light intensity on-the-fly. The result of this should be able to lit up a whole room evenly without a horrendous fluorescent tube hanging on the wall.
We malaysians are unable to enjoy drinkable tap water as how advanced countries would. Thats why a reworked and enhanced water filtration system is required in this uber house. No more rocket shaped water filters sitting in ur garden. It should be hidden below the ground, with UV lightning to kill germs. Also, the air conditioner today is also not elegant, look at ur aircon, its like a box hanging on the wall, dont even mention the even larger radiator the hangs outside of ur house, its just not too nice . Air-con is reworked. It will be a central conditioning system, where the radiator is blended into the house design, possibly with a centrifugal fan sucking and pushing air through the radiator, not the ones we see today, blowing the fins of the radiator. Or, the heat from the radiator could be stored for water heater ( existed already... ask ur local electrical shop ) or use the heat to convert it back to electricity through peltier effect. Of course the efficiency will be low but it is better then nothing. It could be a combination of 3 of them, where 1st the heat is converted to heating water for water heater until it is hot enough, then generate electricity and finally, some stray heat is removed via the radiator.
Frustrated by a bunch of messy wires hanging from the power socket? I am. Thats y this house is designed to work with wireless power transmission to electrical appliances. This concept is nothing new, however, its adverse effects on human bodies is unknown. Lets say its totally safe, and say i bought a new rice cooker home today, i do not need to plug it in to the power outlet, instead, u plug a receiver to the rice cooker and u r done.
Lets talk about the security aspects of this house. It would compromise of Heat detection system, Pressure sensitive tiles, Motion sensors and intelligent CCTV detection system. All need to work in tandem, as if only rely on 1 would meant disaster. This is the scenario of how it is done. When u r going to bed, u activate the security system to alert level, where pressure sensitive tiles of the house compound and heat detection systems are activated. The pressure sensitive tiles will trigger a signal say if a weight of over 5KG is detected on a certain tile. then heat detection, motion sensors and intelligent CCTV in kicked in, trying to make up whether it should sound an alarm ... or just a stupid fat cat of ur neighbors lost its balance and landed on ur tiles. Well obviously ur car weighs more then 5KG, but it will not trigger an alarm when it doesnt move .. of course.. u r sleeping.. if ur car moves then it should sound lolx.
Everything is monitored and controlled from a redundant server, where u control from how long ur oven cooks to how cold u want in ur room from ur PDA, laptop, mobile phone whtever, as long it is paired with the server beforehand. So my story ends here. It might seems impossible now but hey, we never thought of flying few centuries ago right? and all these technology already existed, and it is a matter of time and money to piece up this giant jig-saw puzzle. This is my dream, my vision, my goal. Whts yours? post them up and gimme a link to visit them ..... January 19 The Dilemma of changing the future What if u find urself knowing wht the future is going to be, lets say its a bad omen, have u ever try to do something to avoid it? certainly ppl would try to avoid it as possible but wht if the things u do actually draws u closer to the bad event? The more things u try to do to get u deviate from the predicted path actually leads u to the predicted path...... sounds crazy.. i donno if u guys an get wht i mean.. for those who have watched "Premonition" should be able to understand wht i say.
Is it a predetermined destiny? perhaps u wont encounter the bad event if u had just sit back and enjoy without doing anything. perhaps a person like me could never ignore a warning like this tries to alter it would end up engulfed by it. Who is it to blame but urself. pathetic.............. January 09 New Year.New Start My sem breaks come and go, passed like a wind. The new year has arrived, its the time of the year to set targets, stick to it,evaluate urself for wht i have done last year and strive to improve it. Starting from now, i will learn to put down the past, let bygones remain as bygones and focus my goals and hopefully can achieve 1 or 2 optional goals tht i set for this year. If blossom flower luck still hasen't arrive yet, so be it. good things are meant to last, and it sure needs some time.
Towards the year end, there is a 3 month break. There are alot of plans for that also, and if i successfully do that, it will certainly have a certain boost in my life. lolx.... again i not revealing it now... perhaps u will see it in next year post on did i achieve them XD anyway on a side note, Intel nehalem 4 core 8 threads procs will be out on december. told tht to my bro, and his saliva could flood the house just PURELY talking about CRYSIS. so i told him after his SPM go work, and i will also work for the 3 months... and try to piece up a desktop to replace the ancient desktop now lolx.
CNY is near, and as usual, tht is a pain in the @$$. it doesnt sounds like a holiday anymore when replacement classes is required. long sem ahead. results for last sem out, and i fare just fine.. cgpa is 3.55 now... 0.45 short from dean list wakaka.. aim high.. try to achieve it. it could meant unachievable or a motivation. 19 years past, 1/4 of lifespan passed. it will remain as past,learn from them, for the 3/4 of the remaining life span. It all starts this year. Usher the new year with a open heart and mind, albeit this post should be posted 9 days ago but i guess better late then never right? December 19 Double sided decisions? Final exam passes, and here i am, back to where i belong.... my home. For this 3 weeks, i plan to rest up.. as i think i didnt get to rest much this year.. its almost 1 year over.. ahh.. wht better to conclude a year with a good rest, rewarding myself and prepare for the next year, which might be evermore fearsome, tired and hard. The more i progress, the more horrible i see the world is.. preparation could bring u so far, wht else u need? a little bit of luck perhaps... anyway, regarding my previous blog, i finally done something, which in return grant me some air to breath, although i get nothing at all. Hard to imagine wht i talking ? Well read and forget it.
My mother told me about the notorious rat which is literally vandalizing my house...how? it bites everything it sees, but none it finish them .. ahh great.. eveything also take 1 bite, but never to bite the bait in the mouse trap which is handsomely rewarded.. smart ass.... i said to my mom that if we managed to catch it this time, kill it ! my mother say no.. we cannot kill living things... and she ended up putting away the stupid mice somewhere else far... so this is a basis of an argument... by killing the rat, u could saves it from biting other peoples stuff and spreading diseases, can say is like 替天行道，为民除害... on the other hand, Not killing it,adheres Buddha's teaching of everything is a living thing, we should not terminate it unexpectedly. I support the former decision, as this i guess as natural, prey dies in the hands of predators. We eat meat to survive, countless chickens have been slain to serve as our dinner, y not a rat which does nothing good?
Haih, i dont know if its just me or wht, i think things too much, on a detail scale, like the above scenario is an example... constantly analysing the effects of any decisions i plan to make, i guess thats the primary reason i cant chase the girls i like in my life. failure in love.. but cant do anything right? because i can just only be me, i dont know how to make girls happy, dont know how to flirt........... all because chasing girls doesnt need to be analytical, its more to a hearty mushy mushy thing. As least i know im not alone with this thoughts... Zybler ( my msn contacts ) have the same thoughts. 注定是天煞孤星。。。还是缘分未到？whichever is the outcome, i only know i still like someone, someone i could never get.... as how the moon revolve around the earth, yet cannot come any closer... if not..... disaster.... November 27 The unknown outcome For the first time in my life, i have decided to take an uncalculated risk. For a long time, i always play by the rules set by myself, to help me stay on track on my targets, and also to self-define wht is good and evil, as u all know, there is only a fine line separating them. But i guess i cant include this risk in my rules, its special and mysterious. Many times i have thought about it, and have countless headaches about it too, this misery has to end with physical actions, as thinking can only bring u so far, and yet the outcome of "simulated" scenarios is infinite. Im tired, mentally tired. There is no THE answer to solve a problem, but there are always a answer to solve the problem. For me, i have chosen this choice, to look back and regret or look back to smile, a new beginning or the end, it all boils down to the single decision i will make. Dont ask me wht decision i will make and whts all this about. If i want to tell, then u all will know. :) To the unknown future... *cheers* October 31 The same boring wednesday, with a twist Ahhh... its not my way to blog twice a day.. but stupid darrius forced me to =.=... as i mentioned earlier in my blog projecteye failed... tht was a scam... yeah f*** him.. we actually make it through qualifying round liao ^^ the next 15 days might be the busiest day of my life.. whts d next step of this project?
1st, we have to setup our own website by november 2nd... yepp thts 2 days away... walao... foundation webpage design took us 2 weeks and now 2 days... thts ok... by next week, we would have get our fliers and poster printed, its time to head out for recruitment drive! our targetted collages would be ktar, utar, limkokwing, the one acedemy, malaysian institute of arts, taylor, inti .... and heavily populated by youth areas such as sungai wang, times square etc... oh yeah... i forget mention wht event we r doing ...
We are now planning a grafitti event , where we have to gather as many resources and participants as possible to be presented in november 15th, to major sponsors such as DELL, INTEL, NIKE etc... so for those who are reading this blog... hehe... u cant escape... i sure catch u to sign up the form as supporters... doesnt matter if u will even come for the real event in january anot... but U MUST SIGN UP FOR ME wakakakaka... at least make the list longer and nicer ma XD... so yup.... -[Team Avant-Garde]- is alive and kickin'. Project EYE... here we come @@!!~~~
A Boring Wednesday If u guys have noticed, i haven been blogging for quite some time, well thats because i was into a competition called projecteye, which basically a event planning organization. My sungai campus fren, darrius , asked me whether i am interested to join i say why not? So i basically spend quite some time preparing the proposal for the qualifying round and..... we fail to pass the qualifying round lolz... anyway.. its quite fun.. at least i get an insight on how things work...
October 18 Peace Agreement I took an unconventional step, i went up to his house specifically to talk to him. I was thinking that his anger should reside by now, although i didnt do anything wrong, perhaps my approach is wrong, but the outcome is favorable to all 3 parties, with the expense of my friendship. so i think it was time i offer this peace agreement, because it is plain pointless to stay this way, we r already at the point of mature thinking, needless to say more, i just want to try change the situation. defy the prediction, clear the storm.
I trembled a little while talking to him, because i nvr know wht he will do next.. i try to expect the unexpected, while i guess i cant really think sanely in that tense situation. well at least i try to avoid conflict, and offer him a handshake as a new start. he turned me down, saying he need sometime to think, i guess it's a sensible thing for him to do for now. i will await the day he finally accept me , and the rest of the old communities, who wishes him to change more then he could think of, helped him although our methods might wrong, but that is all a fren should do isnt it? hope for the best, plan for the worst. is this a beginning or the end? time will tell,eventually. October 16 The Stock Market Ahhh.. after 2 + weeks of working... finally my workdays are over.. as for my earnings, well i invested it in the stock market. Many peoples have a wrong perception of what stock market is, due to excessive tvb, in which we often see peoples bankrupt and the evil businessman laugh at their foe. Actually, that type of buying/selling stocks is not an investment, a more suitable word should be... gambling. For example, lets say u buy Genting at RM20.00 today.. and plan to sell off before the dateline u pay for the shares.. tht is gambling. its because no actual funds transfer yet, lets say u sell at RM21.00, u earn RM1 per share, RM100 per lot. but if u sell at RM19.00, u have to pay the remaining RM1 per share, which is your losses. Investment in shares means u really pay for the shares and hold on it, which doesnt matter u if the price is 25.00 or 15.00..... of course.. choosing the right company requires u to do some homework, analyzing company's financial situation and their future plans, to ensure u dont buy a rotting company which MIGHT bankrupt.. there goes ur money also. and no... i dont know how to analyze those company's financial status, but luckily my father is a remisier, who taught me the fascinating world of stocks and shares, and to give me a clear insight on how stocks works... He once said, if u have money, it is better to invest in other companies then to start up ur own.. because at the very first danger u sense in tht particular company, u could always sell off ur shares and literally RUN away from trouble. If u start up ur own company and when ur company is in crisis, u cant run away from it, and most probably u even have to put more money to save ur company..
Since the last major economic crisis in 1997, its already 2007.. 10 year has already arrived, and economist expect another economy crisis will arrive soon. i think alot of us knows that in 1997, theres lots of recession and retrenchment, its basically not a good year for most of malaysians. But there's one thing that i have learnt from my dad, which is one ppl loses is another person's gain. It wouldnt be surprise to know that there are ppl making lots of big bucks in 1997. Very interesting. Obviously we hope we could stand on the winning side, but on how to actually earn money during these bad times, its a great question that i myself want to know. September 30 My 3 weeks sem break So there goes the finals, in fact, this is already the second week of my semester break.. wht have i been doing for the the 1st semester break week? well, i worked in a programming company i think. hahaha... actually i didnt ask for the job.. but it was my secondary school teacher who suddenly called me a few weeks back and asked me whether i want to do a job and i said yes... since i would be just all alone in my house for the 3 weeks, y dont i just find something to do?
So how is my work? well i can say its just fine to do as a part timer but not full timer. hows so? i saw other staff literally starred at the computer screen looking at all the codes longer then it would do anything else.. its a boring job at best. my job is too extract some information from the soft and hardcopy of a customers material and integrate it to the main program by adding some codes in between the materials. can be frustrating sometimes if the conditions of the statement cant be figure it out haih..
Work work work... haih.. tht is in everyone's life.. its all for the money dont u think? once u come out to work, u get the money to buy something to chase someone special in ur life. next it would be money for the marriage.next is the money for the children. and by the time ur kids step on the working cycle.. we would have been old cranky already... wht i mean is... u work for life.. but most of the money spent is not on urself. how irony.. wht u all think on this?
so... i try not to burden my parents as mush as possible.. say y didnt i get ptptn loan? well i was hopping tht i could get some form of scholarships .. but i dont think its possible anymore.. my sem 1 results would be havoc. and hell i dont even know y ppl labeled me as rich =.= maybe just tht i pooled my savings into 1 single item and hence the label..... bah... tht would be the only reason i think off.... think of it.. i dont have any imaging devices (rarely used.. forget about buying it).. lousy handphone... which probably throw at dogs also dogs will run. no cars no alot of things. just tht i want to keep my burdens on my parents light. its their money u know... i just felt guilty spending their money.. i respect and loved my parents.. i want them to use those money for themselves.. ya know.. life is short.. hard to know wht next sec will take u... so thts basically me.. if i want something .. well.. earn for it..
September 11 A day before exam 4.48 am..... sept 11, 2007.. the same day that WTC fallen into ruins 6 yrs back, the day AMD releases the world's first consumer native quad core processor and not to forget, it is also 1 day before my finals ... and wht exactly am i doing staying up so late? Forcing myself to study maths? but due to my laziness nature, i dont really sure i achieve my target =.= current status : tired , helpless in maths... only i can save myself now.. although my roomate is GOD-LIKE in maths, i can only inch at my own pace, hopefully i could finish revising maths before saturday..
Listening music now, hopefully i could stay awake and finish off my vectors tutorial ( my weakest chapter in maths ), but hardly possible. eyes are closing halfway already. XD it's kinda nice to watch the day turns from night to day.... seeing the streets turn noisy from silent but tht, i have to wait to around 6-7 oclock in the morning. ahh.. crapping here again. although our class coursework marks are relatively high due to some mistakes made by teacher, i still scared of this test nontheless. maybe i am giving myself too high expectation? i dont know.. all i know is i have to do well this sem... since each sem will get harder, it is likely result will get worse over time.
LOL.. i think i have to take a rest, the time now is 5.18 am.... took me half an hour to blog such a short thing... i must be seeing stars already... i think i will just let myself drift to slumberland, and continue where i left off....... a few hours later....  .. Last but not least, to all my frens who is having test/will be having test soon, goodluck.September 05 The storm is here, and now So finally Mr. X saw my blog after so many days, and i felt..... expected. Everyone knows the real thing, however i am the only one willing to brought this up . I heard that the situation will get worse now.. i mean i and him... so i believe the Storm has arrived... and a clear sky will not happen anytime soon.
This is a msg to u Mr.X... u nvr think i am such a person, but this is not a backstabbing or anything.. IF u haven done anything like this DO YOU THINK i will waste my time blog on u? never..... i said to myself ever since a long time ago, i will help anyone within the power of my reach, and now i am doing it.. it couldnt be deny that ur girlfriend knows about it already ... Everytime she ask for an answer, do u answer her clearly? i dont think so since she ask me for advice recently. and so wht u want to do now? break all relationship with us? actually, the one who losses most is not us, but u . U want to start a new life by ditching us, this is not solving problem, this is call ignorance. my advice to u, regardless wht u feel about me, it doesnt matter...... but BE A MAN and solve the problems u have now. This is the last advice i can give and hope u would accept, after this u want to stay away from me or chop me into 180 pieces so be it, it really doesnt matters me. August 31 Rate this !

General Advice
 The Leo will be roaring this year, for you will make life exciting and entertaining for everyone around you. Your sign has seen it all, and has gone unappreciated long enough. Well, not anymore! This year will bring an unusual amount of excitment to your life, and will be the perfect time to heal your wounded heart. As you give life everything you got, only a select few will be able to keep pace with you -- it is best to let them fall behind. You will exhibit an inhuman calm admist the chaos, but a romance will catch you pleasantly off-guard. Leo Attributes Qualities=Fixed, Fiery, Masculine Zones=Heart The Sun in Leo Like the lion, you are a leader. You are open hearted and frank, and rarely are you cruel in your desire to rule and lead. Pride may be something that might get in your way. It may cause you to present yourself as overbearing and dominating. Because of your ambitious nature, you hate being held down by details, but prefer doing things in a large and flamboyant manner.

Below is the chinese horoscope:
Dragon
Full of vitality and enthusiasm, Dragons are popular individuals, despite being seen as foolhardy or "big-mouthed" at times. They are intelligent, gifted perfectionists that are demanding of others. Their intolerance usually causes a stir, but Dragons enjoy attracting attention, and prefer demanding situa-
tions to everyday rountines. To Dragons, rules and regulations are made only for others. They live, act, and think big, but their pride and self-confidence can prevent them from accepting help when they need it the most. Self-reliant and sufficient, they can survive without close relationships, but are energized with companions that share their wavelength. characteristics:
Resourceful, Self-Assured, Adaptable, Original, Valiant, Enthusiastic
----------------- Arrogant, Hot-headed, Unpredictable, Critical, Irritable, Discourteous The following occupations best suit the Dragon personality.
COMPUTER ANALYST ¤ ENGINEER ¤ INVENTOR ¤ PSYCHOANALYST ¤ SALESPERSON ¤ ADVERTISING AGENT ¤ POLITICIAN ¤ MANAGER ¤ PHILOSOPHER ¤ LAWYER And now below is NUMEROLOGY, which basically use ur birthdate to count .....
LIFE PATH 22
 You were born under the most powerful and potentially most successful of all path numbers. It offers you the extremes of life's possibilities: On one hand, you have the potential to be the Master builder, the person capable of perceiving something great in the archetypal world. On the other hand , you can slip into the depths of obscurity, achieving little more than personal support. Your power is delicate. It exists by the virtue of your ideals and vision, which you must use to inspire others to join you in your dream. Only by marshaling collective forces are you able to bring together the necessary elements-people, ideas, resources- that will enable you to realize your goals. Consequently, your goal is one that requires dramatic evolution. By being able to integrate seemingly conflicting characteristics within yourself-your inspiring vision and natural tendency toward practicality, for example- you develop the talent to deal effectively with a great variety of people. This allows you to understand and to unite many differing peoples towards a single goal, melding them to unite the dream with the bottom line. In short, you are the visionary with your feet on the ground. You are good at business and politics. You naturally understand large institutions and have the ability to think and act on an international scale. You also share the vocations of the 4. You are gifted with uncommonly sound common sense. You are able to see the beauty and the potential in a given idea, but also the practical methods that will bring it to fruition. Somehow you understand the limitations of ideas what will work and what will not. This is an intuitive gift that can evaluate possibilities on the basis of their practicality. While many people aspects the 22 is the most promising number, it is also the most difficult to live up to. You have great ambition, which can be a most difficult master, driving you to accomplish all that you are capable of. You are a steady partner in any relationship. You offer sound advice and consistent emotional support. You do not suffer from flights of fancy, and you naturally resist the emotional heights. You are unconventional in thought and action, but tend to be traditional in appearance. You avoid airs and pretensions. Your challenge is to share your vision, and to allow others to make their personal contributions. That requires flexibility on your part, perhaps your weakest characteristic. You often lack faith in the ability of others. Therefore, you tend to control people and situations and are sometimes tempted to manipulate. So .... how true are those? pls post ur rating in the comments box ... man this is fun ! :p August 28 A month before barcelona launch After Intel triumph the microprocessor field for more then a year ever since the launch of Core 2 microarchitecture, AMD finally ready to release it's next gen CPU microarchitecture, dubbed K10. However, initial speculations indicates that it might win Core 2 architecture in floating points calculations but not in integer calculations. This is a bit worrying since most of the desktop programs perform more integer calculations then floating point calculation. But, things might change.. 1st batch of K10 processors might only win Core 2 processors marginally, but not more.. however, K10 is made up from different modules, a radical way of designing CPUs, so my best guess is if 1st batch perform less then stellar performance, AMD would have their CPU updated fast, in the mean time pump their clock speed to deter Intel from retaining the crown.
Its about 1 month away and the near future is very exciting, from the consumer point of view. If Intel lose AMD , it will cut its processor price to stay competitive in price/performance ratio. History will repeat itself again. July 22nd last year, once Intel launches it's core 2 microarchitecture, AMD cuts 50% of the price of its processor across the product line, overnight. Unsuspecting customer who bought AMD cpu's before July 22nd experience severe depreciation on their new processor... those who bought the low end parts would not be affected so badly though.. RM50 price cuts compare to Athlon X2 3800+, which dropped Rm 500+ , just to stay competitive with core 2 duo.
Quad core processor will roar next year, currently Intel's Q6600 dipped just below RM1000, rated recommended buy in my list for those planning to get a new high end machine now. AMD Phenom X4 will release this year as well, it's about time to move consumer to quad core space. For those who keen to get a budget processor now, Pentium E2160 is highly recommended. priced at < RM 300, and with overclockability for almost 100% with stock fan and stock voltages, it's a bargain.... realistically speaking, it could outperform a RM1000 E6850 when overclocked.. better spent the extra cash on better graphic card if you are a gamer, or just enjoy the process of winning a high end processor with your puny sub-300 ringgit processor XD
Talking about graphics card, its all in a sad state now.. for now.. the best bang-for-buck graphics card is still the older nVidia 7900GS..priced at Rm 440 now. Newer 8600 GT of the same price tag perform below par, although 8600GT supports DX10 and a new pure video decoder, doesn't make sense at all... if the processing power is not enough, how can it render DX10 fully? or.. for those who don't game at all but watches video and movies a lot on their computer, AMD HD2400 pro which prices well below Rm300 is a great buy, considering it can offload media processing from cpu to its UVD engine... perfect for HTPC.
Its a lengthy blog, and i bet nobody will actually read this XD oh well, just to burn my time ... till next time ~ August 11 Speechless............. I am here now to write about one of my fren, whom i knew him since form 1. This is not about glamoring nor glorify him, this is more about a warning to him. He is in my msn contact list.... even he sees this... he should darn know i am writing about him. i doesnt fear him , just that i dont want to expose him out, now that he is getting overboard, i consider blogging here as the initiative for those who see and left comments on how to end this matter.
Once upon a time, he fell in love with the girl, and he has been trying to chase her ( a kindergarden friend of mine) for a few years yet no avail. Last year, if i remember correctly, which is on a wednesday night, he ask her whether she would eat a cake tht is baked from him, and she rejected him. on saturday , he ask another girl out to confide and eventually, they are now a couples. Story doenst end here though... after a year, it looks like he still cant forget my fren, and keep on flirting through sms with my fren, even though after some hard rejection, he still continues it. My fren has stated clearly that she and him will not have a start in any relationship ... and u know wht he reply? he says.. everytime when he is being with his girlfriend, he will be thinking of my fren. needless to say more... i hate this type of person. It wouldnt be fair to his current girlfriend isnt it?
That is just a part of the whole picture... we have been trying to help my fren( whom he keep on kacaoing) to get out from this situation but i dont think we have achieve anything so far... besides that, teaming up with him in assignments is just equals to me having the job done... myself... no i am not complaining in any sense... i am actually thankful he is not those cant do the job but still want to do it kind of person.. as long he dont hinder me in getting as high as possible in course marks, i dont care if i have to team with him eveytime.. i believe in my own capability. i just dont believe his. For someone like him... i wouldnt want to say too much.. for those who already knew him closer, eg, his hsemate, oldfrens of his... u know how his personality is.. and for those who doesnt know him deep enough yet... give him some time and he will show u his true colors..
Of course i want him to change, but after countless fruitless attempt trying to advice him.... heck.. u want me to go public.. u know i can.. so dear readers out there, how can i solve these problems? pls leave some ways i could take to help my fren and of course his girlfriend..你要我装不知道，我也装了。。。但是现在我真的是再也看不下去了。。。。请多多指教
[update] my close friend has updated his blog on him too.. apparently, i am not the ONLY one furious on is behavior pls have a look...
应该轮到我发言的时候了....  ...ahem..ahem....
在中学时期，这男主角就暗恋着一位女孩，
 当时的我也曾经帮男主角说服那女孩，但是还是失败.....
现在，男主角已经有了女朋友，也交往一年了，但不知为什么，现在男主角又要吃回头草？！开始不停地 SMS 之前那女孩。那女孩也表明过立场，也非常敷衍他，但男主角还是不死心。
最近，那男主角的女朋友的 MSN display 名字写着“有你在身旁，那就是幸福。。。。问题是。。在身旁的你。。心里有我吗？”
太令人发指了！一脚踏两条船！迟早沉船啊！
 还好另一条船拼命不要让那脚伸过来，要不然这三角关系，我也没法看下去
 ...... 我实在想不通，如果当初不喜欢人家，为什么又要选择她呢？选择了所爱的人就应该好好珍惜这段感情，为什么又要回头望呢？如果要吃回头草，就应该坦坦白白结束目前这段感情，拖拖拉拉干什么？！现在造成一位在烦恼，另一位在伤心......
此外，男主角也很会花钱，虽然钱是你的，我无权加以批评，但男主角的花钱方式实在....haiz....
既然在外面住，很自然的就应该是能省则省，不必要的花费就能免则免。可是男主角确实与众不同，之前和跟他住在一起的朋友共同申请一条 Internet 线，可是就近听说男主角嫌那线太慢，所以自己独自申请另一条 Internet 线，而且是先付一年的单，大概有 1千3百多块.....听好噢，是 RM1300+ 大佬啊，你要这么快的线做什么，你去读书叻，不是去玩电脑游戏叻。 此外，更令人叹为观止的就是，在还没搬去那儿住时，男主角已经花了大约 2千多元来买三样家私，一个衣橱，一张桌子和一张床。过后，就连桌布啦、夹衣服啦等都要买新的，就像般新家就对了......连电脑都已经换了好几台了，而我还在用着已经有 5 年的电脑。 一个年轻人，花钱花得像已经是百万富翁般，还常常抱怨家人对他不好....WALAO！.....试想想，那些钱是你自己的吗？！要是跟我比，你比我好多几万倍了！我的衣橱、手提电脑、手机、就连学费都是自己出钱！ 男主角就杖着他的亲戚非常疼他，要风得风，要雨得雨，没钱就像那亲戚要，衣服亲戚买，手机亲戚给，就连车子也是亲戚给....此外，男主角曾经在那亲戚所开的手机店打过工，而那店的其中一位员工告诉我们，男主角在那儿只是睡觉，买电话卡和陪同去银行罢了，这样就享有和其他员工一样有薪水拿.....WALAO! 还以为做过工的人都应该知道赚钱难，但男主角却不怎么认为，也难怪的，去睡觉都有钱拿，哪里找哦？！ 我实在无法说下去了，我希望男主角看了后会自我反省，不要再执迷不悟了，回头是岸啊!
