Short Update - Internship

I was late for work today. Stupid jam at Jalan Genting Klang. It took me an hour plus just to get out of that stupid stretch of road. Don't know what the hell is causing all that. I had to be at work at 8.45am. Ended up reaching at 9.05am. Luckily no one said anything.

I'm currently having my internship at AmInvestment Bank. Sounds like an interesting job eh. Unfortunately, i have zero experience in Unix and XML. So i need to study them to grasp the language. For the first day at work, i attended a briefing on a new system for problem reporting. It was quite interesting. I and my friends were then introduced to the team, and we were given our own table and computer to sit and work. We were given some Unix scripts to work on. But other than that, i practically did nothing much. First week i guess, have to see how are we like and let us adapt to the environment.

Went for the hands on training today. After that, just sat down and waited for lunch. Browse the ambank web page. We do not have web access there. How sad. After lunch, again sat down in front of the computer. Was given a Unix book to study and practice. Waited for 6PM to come. Actually work ended at 5.45pm, but since i was late, so i decided to stay a bit longer.

As for tomorrow i probably be taking the LRT to work. Don't wanna waste time stuck in a endless and pointless jam.

Hope everything goes well during my internship, can't wait for the weekend!!

until then.

Epiphany (Not Really)

There are a few things that i planned to blog about but i keep forgetting. It was never a habit of me to write down the things that i wanna blog about because, well, i like to be spontaneous. But i realize that we cannot be that all the time. Somethings need planning, need time to work on it, need time to practice. Spontaneously will only bring a fair outcome, well, to me, i don't know about you guys. I used to think that i do not need to go through my points during a presentation when i was in diploma, i felt that since i can speak, why can't i do it during a presentation? I ended up looking for words to say, pausing, ummm-ing all the time.

This does not only apply to speaking, but also decisions, actions, work, all sorts, but i think girls like guys to be spontaneous. It surprises them when guys do something out of the box, something they would not usually do.

I watched Yes Man yesterday. It was a good movie, i would say. After finishing the movie, i sort of think to myself. Am i shutting myself from the real world? Everybody has a group of friends they really trust and would do anything for them, do i have that group of friends? When opportunity comes, i don't have the confident to say yes.

I remember there was once i was asked by a fellow course mate to help out in a event for our school. Become the Emcee for the event to be exact. I thought to myself, i would not have the confident to stand up on a stage facing a crowd and speak. So i decided not to. When i come to rethink that decision, it was a stupid decision to say no. It's a opportunity for me to step up, no harm done. I think i'm not really a risk taker. I am scared of what will happen if i fail. I only do things that i'm confident i can achieve them.

And there were a few times where my classmates asked me out, i refused because i felt akward. Honestly guys, no offence, i thought that i was the "wierd" one in class. I could not get into the circle. So i decided to box myself up and stay in my comfort zone.

Sometimes i think that people think that i have everything, great life, good friends, good results, but i do not. It's not a bed of roses for me. I'm just like every single soul out there.

All these things that i have done, was because i did not have the courage to actually try something new. I did not say YES because i'm afraid of the outcome. There was once i thought that i actually overcomed the phase. But i realize that, psychologicaly, we who are afraid tend to shove ourselves back in to our comfort zone, telling ourselves everything is alright. A naturalist, doing nothing about whatever that happens.

Looking at myself, i would say that i do not have really good friends. Just good friends, not the ones that would stand by you no matter what happens. It's rare to have friends that will be by your side because i feel in this era, people are all egoistic, fighting for themselves, fighting for survival. My life ain't that sweet either, but there are people that are worst than me out there, i shall not compliant. There are times when i had good friends, really good friends, but i let them slipped away, didn't bother to make contact, catch up, all just talk no action. Slowly they just forget, forget that you ever existed. Because you did not bother to keep in touch. Yes i believed that happened. It is also that all of us has just walked our own path, meet new people, new life, new environment, the old one just got replaced.

One thing i really hate is that people have this thought that since i have a girlfriend, i don't really need my friends anymore. I would ask, " Why didn't you ask me out??", " You got girlfriend what...". I hate that. Doesn't mean that i have a girlfriend i don't wanna hang out with my friends. I have time for both my girlfriend and my friends. I hate that when people have that idea about me.

I think i need to start to live the life, grab the opportunities, take risks. Say Yes to more things. You never know what you would get when you say Yes.

Lessons from playing poker. There are always up's and down's in life. But if you dare to take the risk, it might just pay off.

*P/s, picking up advice from movies is never a good idea. Please do not try anything silly*

Until then.

*O Ya. I'm back in Penang. Going back to KL on Saturday. Industrial Training starts next week. Anxious but excited.*

muahahaha

As a self professed geek, i love technology. I love gadgets.

Ooo yes i love gadgets. If you do know me, you know how much i love the iphone.

But since i do not have the budget to get one yet. Muahahahahaha

I also love things with bling..for example the Crucial Ballistix Tracer Rams with LED. Had to sold them cause they died on me.

But today, we have a new addition to the family.

Presenting the Microsoft Sidewinder X6



Isn't it a beauty?

It has up to 90 if i'm not mistaken, programmable macros which i don't really use, two tone backlight, did i mention backlight? oh yes. detachable numpad(yup), which you can switch it to the left or the right. and backlight. lol

Wishlist

I finally finished my System Requirement Specs for my final year project so now i have time to cakap a bit here. Have been very busy for the past few days, having insomnia almost every night due to sleeping in the wee hours. Plus the weather was hot.

So, this is a wishlist. Haha. Things that i wish i can get for this year. I am doing this out of boredom and since my ******** is just around the corner. I get to make a list ! Haha

If you guys know me, you'd already know the list is gonna be filled with gadgets.

So here goes my *selfish* wishlist

10. PS3

I wanna play guitar hero! haha. But this wish is kinda far fetched. But what the hell.

9. Speakers

My speakers spoilt already. Everytime play movies or songs, the audio only comes out from one side. Should get new one. Pc Fair is around the corner!

8. 1 Year Subscription to Top Gear Malaysia

This i'm lazy to do. No money to do also. Buy alternate months only. Which reminds me, i haven't even finish reading February's issue.

7. 1TB External HDD

Too many movies, series, games. Too little space.

6. Manchester United Home Kit 07/09

I have already bought myself the third kit. Planning to get the home kit soon. But then it seems that the home kit is gonna change already. But then i like the current home kit. Haha

5. i7 Set

The magical words. Open doors to a new future. The ultimate killer rig must have.

4. Geforce 285 GTX

I'm not greedy. Am i???? No I'm not.

3. A decent dslr capable digital camera

Something like those that look like dslr's but not dslr.

2. Laptop

For future purpose, so this means that this wish will be for the future then.Lol

1. iPhone

Still need to explain?

So that's my top 10 for the year. I guess. So if i'm not that selfish and self-centered, here's my wish list

1 - 10 : World Peace

That settles it.

But still there are somethings that i would like to wish for.

To my family, i wish that we will always be in good health and be protected from harm. That we would live happily and healthy no matter what.

To my friends, i wish all of you succeed in what ever you do. Especially in you studies and also for those who have already started their career. I also wish that we always stay in touch because some friends are hard to replace.

Hmm..any more wishes?

Ohhh riteeeeee!

Manchester United win the Quadruple this season. *Wish Wish Wish Wish*

I'll stop here.

Until then!

Out Of Time

I'm back again, not sleeping yet again. Poker is all the rage these few days, so is j-rock and anime songs. Awesome. I play facebook poker. It's kinda addictive. Me and my friends can just sit and play poker for few hours straight. As i say i'm into j-rock these few days, these are my recommendation

Donten - Does (Gintama OP)
Aqua Timez - Velonica (Bleach OP)
Tommy Heavenly7 - Papermoon (Soul Eater OP)

Best nyer. Thanks to AlecKor for the songs! He big J-Pop fan. Can ask him into japanese songs.

Am busy with Final Year Project stuffs. Gotta complete the system specs by this week asap. Still slacking behind, playing fifa and poker. While exams are coming up soon, soon as in like 3 weeks or so. Only one paper for this semester, moral then i'm off to industrial training for 6 months. I'm stepping into the battlefield! Woot.

About my internship, i got accepted into AmFinance. Their building is located at Jalan Raja Chulan, the AmBank building. Kinda lucky to be accepted and am happy because i do not need to be interviewed again. But then i will be attending another interview next week to help the college as the MQA or Malaysian Qualification Agency would like to interview the students.

I should be sleeping man, but i'm still awake.

Just now i went to Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa, Kampung Baru and had nasi lemak. It's just so so and the teh ice taste a little way off the ordinary teh ice i have. It's kinda pricey as a normal nasi lemak cost RM2.95, while toppings like chicken or sotong are priced from RM3.95 - RM4.95. A teh ice cost RM2.95. Not really worth it. Anyway, the place i went is just behind my place at Taman Melati Utama.

What should i do for my seminar, i'm still confused. Not sure what to pick. Suddenly i feel very hungry right now.

Random post. Sleep now. Blog later.

until then!

Being on top.

I'm having insomnia, that's the reason i'm blogging at this time in the morning. I will be having a Skill Based Assessment at 9AM later, i'm so gonna be in trouble.

The reason for this entry is about me and my studies. I was not a smart kid, never was. I would say i'm average. My grades were quite good during primary, but when i got to Standard 3, i just started to be not that good, i dropped to the second class, constantly playing a fool. I scored 4As 2B in my UPSR. As i moved on to secondary, i was even worst. I flunk papers, score some, got 4As 3Bs in my PMR. I'm still consider as average, always in the top 200 in school out of 400 students. For my SPM, i only manage to score 2As with a bunch of B,C and D.

Come to think of it, i am just an average student, i'm not a genius like some of the fellas in my school, scoring As for every single paper they get on their hands. I never thought that i would be that good. Never even crossed my mind. I'm just average. But i believe in hardwork. If you put effort, you will definitely gain results. The results you get will be the same as the amount of effort you put in.

Moving on to College. I did pretty well for my diploma. Scoring 3.704 for my CGPA. I would say that i am surprise that i'd do that well. Maybe it's because that i actually am interested in what i was studying. People start to think that i'm one of the smart ones, the one on top. Honestly, i never really regard myself as that. When people tell me that "You sure straight As la" or "You scared what? Always score so high" and the best "You won't know whats the failing grade cause you have never been near there at all". Well, i really did not know about the failing grade. I actually gain something from that, i became more confident. I even earned myself a scholarship for my Advance Diploma course which i would never expected myself to get. But i believe some regarded me as a selfish fella that would not share my work. I am actually surprise that people that are better than me will think that i'm actually really good. It just feels not right. I remember a classmate once said that he thinks that i'm smart and wished he has good grades like me. To think about it that the fact is he was as good as i am and he did better actually in the previous finals. I just find it funny that people think that i'm actually smart!

I'm not that smart seriously, i'm only average. Maybe i get good grades because i put in extra effort. But thoughout all this times, i tend to surprise myself. Last semester results, i got 2As,2Bs and a C+. I was shocked that i got a C+ because it's been a while i scored a C. This actually pulls me back to reality. The fact that sometimes i think that i'm already good enough, is not true. My lucky streak ends here. It shows that, i am slacking and i'm not putting enough effort. Other students are scoring straight A's. I find it embarassing to get a C. But then i shouldn't, because this is what i get for the effort i put in.

I always thought i was lucky, scoring good grades was luck. I don't know why i think like that but maybe it's because i'm not confident. Now i'm not on top, i'm just average. Always have been. What i need to do is to put more effort to turn average into good.

This is reality, this is what i need, this shows that i'm not perfect, there are going to be ups and downs. I'm not like those people that score every single paper. I know i'm not, i know my ability. I have not the brains of smart people. But maybe, a little effort can change average to good. Reality sucks, but i would have to pull through. I tell myself, a C+ was not what you expected, so work hard the next time.

It's wierd, looking back at the past, and looking at the present. What have i become, the things that i've done. The difference between me 10 years ago and now. Still,i wanna be on top, and that's for sure.

Looks like i just completed paragraphs of gliberish.

I got 2 hours of sleep before i get up at 7am for revision.

Until then.

OMG

Apple are Invading KL! A huge iPhone 3G Billboard was spotted in Genting Klang! Can't wait for the launch! Woot!

Melaka Trip Part 1

So, last Monday was a public holiday. Me and my friends decided to take a road trip down to Melaka for food and sightseeing. We took off in the morning and there was me, Way Shoon, Crystal and Sze Ling. It's a two hour trip down to Melaka, i've never drive on the North-South Expressway after KL. We reached Melaka at ard 11 and head straight to town. There wasn't anything to see around Ayer Keroh on the way to town. There are a few farms such as butterfly farm, crocodile farm and so on. So in we went into Melaka Town. There are a lot of one way streets in Melaka, makes it kinda confusing. We parked at Jonker Street and headed down for lunch. 

Our first stop was this small cendol stall where there are so many coke collectibles that could actually make him a millionaire. 

Coke Fanatic

The Nyonya Cendol here is very tasty. It's different compared to the cendols i have back in Penang, mostly due to the Gula Melaka. One spoon makes me want it more. It's really one of the must try when you're in Melaka. 

Cendol!

From Right To Left: Way Shoon, Crystal, Sze Ling, Cendol Seller.

The stall is just right in front of the Chicken Rice Ball Shop, Hoe Kee Hainan Chicken Rice Shop. That's where we headed after having our cendol!

Not many pictures were taken in the shop cause we were very hungry. Although the girls did have time to camwhore.

Chicken Rice Balls!

Me Hungry!

It was kinda delicious. The rice balls look like fish balls and they won't break as though they are glued together but once you bite it, it does not feel all goey or sticky, it tastes and feels like rice. Awesome eh.

After our lunch, we walked around Jonker Street looking around.

Jonker Walk.


Goofing Around.

We walk around and enter a few shops, nothing really catches my eye. It's actually kinda expensive to buy stuff there. A lot of gifts and souviniers. As we explored Jonker Street, it started raining. We could not go anywhere as it continued raining for the whole day. We then walked to a WanTan Mee stall over at Jalan Tun Tan Cheong Lok which was recommended by The Star Newspaper's Street Food guide. It wasn't that good actually. We then headed to the Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum. We could not get pictures in there cause it wasn't allow. It was kinda interesting to learn about it.

It rained....

The rain then got heavier and we had to walk to the car and proceed to someplace else. We wanted to go to the Red Church and AFamosa but the rain wouldn't let us. We drove around and we spotted this tower that looks like the space shot in Genting but it was for sightseeing. 

Not take by me, But it's damn nice. By a flickr uploader name p o l i n i.

So up we went cause it was raining and this looked kinda fun when it's raining. It went high up and started spining round. We can see the straits of Melaka and also Melaka town. I had a headache when i came down from it. Guessed the spinning made me nauseous. 

Us in Menara Taming Sari.

I will talk about the second part later. It's getting late and i'm sleepy.

P/S: Manchester United Won 2 - 0 against Inter Milan on Wednesday night. Looking foward to the big game this weekend. Liverpool - Manchester United. Will be there cheering for my team. Glory Glory!

Until then!

News Flash !

Does this look familiar? Yes it is the iPhone 3G. Look at it, so shiny and attractive. Well, guess what?



You can now get it from Maxis! There will be a 6,12 and 24 months plan. Head over to www.maxis.com.my/iphone for my details!

The official launch for the phone is on 20th - 22nd of March at the KL Convention Centre. Book now to be invited to the launch event !

I will be waiting for WWDC instead. Hope an upgraded version will be launched!

Melaka post coming right up! until then!

Melaka Trip Update!

Instead of Friday, i went to Melaka on Monday instead..Catch the update soon!

Ultimate Chicken Rice Ballz!

Stay tuned!

Update update Update update!

So, Manchester United won the Carling Cup over the weekend! I could not bear watching the moments in extra time when Tottenham's attack all drifted away from the goal. Then it came to penalties, reminds me Moscow where Ronaldo missed.

But this guy,

Man of The Moment

Ben Foster is certainly proving a point in the game. I can see him in the first eleven real soon after Van Der Sar retires. He made really good saves during the match and is determined enough to save one of the penalties. I hope to see more of him soon.

And definitely more of this.


Anyone up for a Quadruple this season?

Been watching Friends for the past few days. Love it. Am at season 3 now. Who doesn't love Friends?

Been kinda busy with Final Year Project, not busy doing it but thinking about ideas and technology to implement. With my moral assignments due soon, this week is kinda pack with work to do, but anyhow, tomorrow is a friday and friday is a no class day. So me and friends have decided we should take a break to....

MELAKA!!

A one day trip to the historical city and of course the delicious delicacies! Still considering though and the fact that we are heading there clueless because we do not have any idea how to get there by car. But i will update if i am going there tomorrow !

I still have not get any interviews for industrial training. Still waiting for updates from supervisors.

Saturday will be the release of Advance Diploma Semester 2 exam results. Not particularly looking forward to it but no choice. I hope i will do well cause last semester was really kinda difficult. Anything can happen so wish me luck!

I'ma update later.

until then!

Phailed

I did not get the job. Haha. Well, i guess it's not meant to be. Not sure what's coming next either.

Valentine's Day

I'm kinda amused that people celebrate Valentine's Day with no clue about the origins of the day. All they know is that's the day that they should spend a lot of money to impress a girl or get laid. Can't blame the people, this day has been modernized throughout the years.

Quoted from Wikipedia

Thanks to a concentrated marketing effort, Valentine's Day is celebrated in some Asian countries with Singaporeans, Chinese and South Koreans spending the most money on Valentine's gifts.

Well, i spent Valentine's Day with Lay Theng from Midvalley to The Curve and back to Midvalley.

We went Midvalley for shopping and collected our movie tickets for the night. We were going to watch Pink Panther 2!

We then moved on to The Curve. The reason i chose to have dinner at the curve is because i could get roses for her. I have made reservations for half dozen of roses for only RM25 from mySimplifieds.com. If you don't know what is mySimplifieds.com, head down to their web site. It's where you can post classifieds like you do on newspaper. very useful i say. They had the valentine day promotion. With all the prices of roses and gifts going up, it's kinda crazy to spend RM100+ on a bouquet of roses.

We reached the curve, we walked around doing window shopping. I asked to be excuse, saying that i wanted to check out our reservation for dinner. So i quickly walked to Cineleisure Damansara where the mySimplifieds.com's booth is located to collect my roses. I went back into the shopping mall and look for her and then TaDa!



We then moved on to Italliani's! It's my first time there and i was kinda excited. We already made reservations so we got in as soon as we reached. The atmosphere was great where the tables where all seperated into single tables and every table has a candle. A very romantic night i would say.

In the menu, we were to share our appertizers and desert while the main course is for two of us. She had the spaghetti with seafood and i had steak. For appertizers, we had deep fried mushroom with cheese and tiramisu for desert.


This is one of the most tastiest food i ever consumed. It's just so good.


Our drink for the night, i don't remember what's the name but it has wine and strawberry and some juice.


Here's baby at the table!


What i had for the night. It was delicious.


Baby and her spaghetti.


The best. Nothing more. You taste a hint of wine as you eat the tiramisu.

We sat there and enjoyed our dinner and chat the night away. As it was time to go, i asked for the bill. It came with a staggering amount of RM230. I actually thought the set was RM85 for two. But it is actually RM85 per person for the main course. That practically spoil the mood for the night. Luckily we had enough cash or we would be spending the night cleaning in the kitchen.

On the bright side, we won free latin dance classes from mYoga worth RM300!


This was what i got her. Reddish Twin by doodolls!

Classes have already started and we are suppose to hand up our final year project proposal by 28th of February! For this semester i have two subjects, Advance Networking and Moral. Not really fond of my Advance Networking tutor. My Moral tutor on the other hand is kinda interesting. Today we talked about homosexuality and abnormal sex. Wait, maybe the topic was interesting.

Still waiting for the results from my interview. I did not blog on how the interview went. Maybe next time. It was my first actual interview and it was real scary.

I'm gonna finish my proposal now.

Until then!

Technews roundup

G-Shock Gulfman

Over the weekend, i've got myself a new watch. I've always wanted to get a watch because my previous one went in for surgery and never came back. That was like 5 years ago. So, i went watch shopping and decided i get this.


G-Shock Gulfman

I like the watch because of the rugged styling and it's the perfect guy watch for outdoor and stuffs.It features a tide graph which keep tracks of the tide level and a moon graph which keep tracks of the phase of the moon. You have to set the coordinates to be accurate. Furthermore, it also has world time, 3 alarms, a stopwatch and a timer. It also has auto EL where with a flick of the wrist, the light on the watch will turn on.

Built wise, it has rust resist where part of the watch body is made of titanium, G-Shock shock proof and 20 bar water resistance which means 200M. Not suitable for diving though.


Closeup

Overall i find the watch very useful and durable. I still haven't managed to set the tide and the moon graph though.


Microsoft Windows 7 _______. What!?


Microsoft has announce the versions of the upcoming Windows 7. There will be 6 of them which are (source from engadget):

Windows 7 Starter

* Available worldwide to OEMs on new PCs
* Missing Aero UI tweaks
* Limited to 3 simultaneous applications

Windows 7 Home Basic (Vista equivalent: $200)

* Only available in emerging markets
* Missing Aero UI tweaks

Windows 7 Home Premium (Vista equivalent: $260)

* Available worldwide, to OEMs and in retail
* Includes Aero UI tweaks
* Features multi-touch capabilities
* Adds "premium" games
* Adds media capabilities (Media Center, DVD playback, DVD creation, etc.)
* Can create home network groups

Windows 7 Professional (Vista equivalent: $300)

* Available worldwide, to OEMs and in retail
* Includes all features of Premium
* Adds enhanced networking capabilities (Remote Desktop host, domain support, offline folders, etc.)
* Adds Mobility Center
* Adds Presentation Mode

Windows 7 Enterprise

* Available only in volume licenses
* Includes all features of Professional
* Adds Branch Cache
* Adds Direct Access
* Adds BitLocker

Windows 7 Ultimate (Vista equivalent: $320)

* Limited OEM and retail availability
* Includes all features of Enterprise

IMO, why can't they have only two versions? The home and the professional. Wouldn't it make life much more easier? Furthermore, to actually encourage users to switch to Windows 7, although there are positive reviews from the beta, it must be backward compatible and will not have problems supporting the softwares that previous windows supported. Because of the incompatibility, a lot of users refused to switch to Vista. It's a different story now, although some games still refuse to corporate with Vista. Windows 7 must make it easy for user to convert, that will be the critical point of success as it already performs well in the beta tester.


New iPhone rumored, due June 2009.


True or false?

There is no exact proof over how true this can be but it is rumored that there will be a new iPhone from the fellas at Cupertino. Probably during June because summer is the time when Apple will usually introduce new products. It is said that the iPhone will have new features over the old features, which i hope this would be some it:

MMS capability
Copy and Paste
Bluetooth sharing
Video capture
Video call
Better megapixel camera

There is even rumors about an iPhone nano. I wonder.

I'm still waiting to get my hands on one. There's a thing about technology where it is limitless, new stuffs keep emerging everyday and it's difficult to catch up with all. I've been waiting for the iPhone since 2G and now with this new rumor, i am reluctant to get the iPhone. Should i wait? By the time i get enough cash, i bet the new one would be out. Or not.


Current Wanted List

Here are a few items i would want to get my hands on.

1. Rams (4GB Kits)
   
   Since my Crucial Ballistix Tracer died on me again. Second time. I am considering 2X2GB sticks. I now have 2X1GB patriot and 2X1GB Ballistix Tracer but am running only on 2GB patriot rams. Am considering 2X2GB Kingston HyperX which cost around RM230.


2. Graphic Card
   
   I keep telling myself i gotta upgrade this, gotta start saving money. Am waiting for the price of 260GTX to go down. Or maybe settle for a ATI HD4870. By upgrading the card, i would have to upgrade my power supply to support the additional power needed. The estimated cost would be around RM1K? If you really want to play games with good graphics, never settle for a mid-range card, it's just not satisfying enough, just like my 8600GTs.
   


3. HDD
   
   The endless number of series, movies and ISOs are killing me. i need an additional portable HDD. 1TB should be sufficient. In other news, Seagate has introduced it's first 2TB HDD. Woot!

On the dreamer's list, an i7 system. That would definitely be awesome.

My interview is approaching soon and i'm nervous/excited. I really hope i can get the job. Wish me luck !

I guess that's all for now. Still trying to find a solution to my boredomness. Watched house and played Fifa Online today. I also bought Fifa 09 today. I think i shall just read Steve Berry's The Venetian Betrayal.

Until then.

What?

You know what? We need more of this. Listening too much of emo and rock songs makes me a sadist. LoL. What we need is a dose of happiness. Carefree and nothing to worry about, living in our own world. Yes, we need an escape. So ladies and gentlemen, i present you your escape.




It's too unreal. But it's so happy ! haha.

Next, i present to you, the PCD of Korea. Less power though.



*The girl in pink is kinda hot.*

In case anyone wonder where i got this from, blame MTV.

Something for the girls. Please don't try this on an unstable object.



I'm so freaking bored. Anything to do? Save me from the endless boredom!

I have a problem..

lolcat From icanhascheezburger.com

Yes i do..a funny weird problem, but i will talk about it the next time..gonna upload some pictures nao..


This is me and my family during the first day of Chinese New Year.


Spending the day at my uncle house. Everyone gathers here.


Relatives having steamboat.


Me on the other hand busy at the table.


Cousins are also busy playing cards.


Cookies and more cookies.


Did not take many pictures. But here's one to wish you guys to a great year ahead! Huatahhhhh!

Square One

Yay! Update! *Laugh Out Loud*

As everyone should know it is the Chinese New Year, i'm currently at home, catching up with series i've left untouched over the past few months, eating and sleeping, lurking around kopitiam in LY.net, Facebook-ing and gaming. It's good to finally take a break after the long somester. Actually, exams just ended last week.

So anyway, i spent my Chinese New Year on family gatherings, visiting and of course collecting ang pows! These are what i usually do during Chinese New Year. But this year, it was a little different, because i spent time with my girlfriend's family for the first time !!! Usually, it's just dad and mom. But noooooo, two of her sisters have family, so that makes it twice the people you would usually meet. I wasn't really prepared for it, but i told myself, this is a test, for it would be the same situation for my internship interview.

Yes, about that. I've been shortlisted for an interview for my internship with HSBC's IT department. The interview is on the 11th of February. Wish me good luck!

Back to where we left off, how hard could it be? I would just put a smile on my face and respond appropriately to every question. Just like a robot programmed to do the right thing. But it was kinda fun. Instead of what i'd imagined, questions thundering down, eyes staring at me, whispers all around but no, i was treated normally, well normally people treat other people normally, my normally means, well, good? Maybe i was thinking too much. *LOL*.

Moving on, my dad commented on me being able to look at the computer for hours without fail. i'd say aren't all people like that? I was just catching up with Prison Break, 2 more episodes to episode 16 of season 4. I still have season 3 and 4 of house and heroes. To add to the list, Lost just started. Guess i'll be very very busy just trying to finish them, even downloading them takes time with 512MB screamyx in my home.The speed is annoyingly slow.

Since it's the Chinese New Year and we have the opportunity to get ang pows.*A few more years and we'd be giving them, enjoy while you can*. We would all have a plan, something to spend on with the money that we were given. So, on my list, are a few items that i would want to spend my money on.

Number 1
Bank Account - Save the money in to the bank and keep it.

Number 2
Graphic Card - 285GTX anyone? My 8600gts can't play GTA IV.

Number 3
Keyboard - Sidewinder X6 looks tempting...

I think that these are the only things i would think of doing with my ang pow money. Kind of a gadget freak i am.

Serious *kinda* Post

I've been thinking a lot lately. I always wonder on how to decipher the mind of the other gender. For example, when a person cares a lot of someone, he tends to control, which tends to make the other gender uneasy. The girls will usually think that " He wants to control me, he doesn't let me do anything, i want more freedom ". On the other hand, the guys will think "I don't want her to get hurt, i must take care of her". The mind of a male and a female have different ways of decipher a message.

I came up with a few theories to "Certain things guys don't like their girlfriends to do".

1. Insecurity
They do it because they feel insecure. Touching on the issue of being close to another guy friend. Most guys don't like it, they even go to the lengths of forbidding the girl to mix less with guys. That will be classified as a control freak. Jealousy is not wrong, guys should be jealous. Jealous means care, jealous means she is important to you.

2. They know better.
I don't know if there's any truth to this theory. But i do know that, how do i put this. Let's say, guy sees girl talking a lot to a guy this few days, girl is asked to a party, guy says no. Why? because, the guy will think this way : IF i was the guy, what would i do? I'd definitely hit on her, that's what i will do. So in a way, they think they know better, or we call this assuming because what the guys do is think as a guy, what would a guy do.

3. Afraid of change
Some guys are afraid of this. Afraid that one day, girl comes back, starts an argument, say that she wants out. Or girl starts acting wierdly, start dressing wierdly. That is why sometimes we forbid some of the things that may lead to this.

Of all the theories i came up with, some are just bullshit. Hell, i could never even know what am i actually thinking. But i believe some of it are true.

When a girl hurts, it is very easy to spot out. But when a guy hurts, it takes someone who really understands the person to actually notice.

Note: all the above are my own opinion, it comes from my twisted mine, source or concept or truthfullness is irrelevent.


Well, i feel better typing it out. It's difficult to understand.

I'd be talking about something more happier in the next post.

P.S. - Manchester United is on top. Nothing more.

I'm still not over you.

I never denied nor hide it. Inside of me, i'm a mac. But i hunger for raw power, i need more that just a mac to conquer the world. So i had to include PC in my evil legion.

I have always love all things mac, such as the Ipods, the macbooks, and of course, the one and only, iPhone.

Some call it the jesus phone, some say it's part of steve job's plan to rule the world by creating this magnificent device.

I know that some of you may not agree with me, you might say that there are better phones out there that at least supported Copy and Paste !? Come on, it's touch screen, has bluetooth and it wasn't meant for Bluetooth PAN ? What were you thinking over at Cupertino!? The Omnia,HTC Touch or the Blackberry Storm would be better?

However, the iPhone has manage to out shined the other phones with it's slick UI and all sorts of little candies in it's OS. The feeling of touching an iPhone is just uncomparable. By just fiddling around with the Ipod Touch shows the response when you scroll it with your fingers, it's the awesome interface, the animation of the windows fading in and out. It's the applications, the things you are able to do on that phone.

I just could not take my eyes of it when i first saw the iPhone online. I just caught the bug and it's still in me today. I have never looked at any other phones when the iPhone arrived. No more visits to mobile88 to check on reviews on new SE or Nokia phones. I have my Samsung X700 with me until the day i get this phone. You might call me crazy, but i just had to let this out. Even the T-Mobile G1 will not replace your majestic crown even though i was tempted by Android.

Screw you apple, for letting this out of it's cage. I'm trapped in it's core and i'm unable to escape. I don't care about anything other than you iPhone, when would you come to me, you know that my love for you is real. I never loved anything so much until you came. I need to touch you, i need to slide my fingers on that smooth screen of yours and unlock you. I can't take it anymore !!!!! You had me at iPod + phone.

This is a confession of an iPhonenut. Might as well admit me into a psychoward.

Well, that was pleasant. Assignments are pilling up like the moutains. Is it me or are college students trained to do last minute work. I think it's just me.
