Ｌooked around in facebook. do u know that facebook is called mukabuku in malay officially?

On a much gigantic scale, do u know that the group "I don't wanna study so i logged in to facebook and created this group" has 57 members now??*shock* Such rapid growth! and a lot of the new members i'm not even acquainted with, although i share at least 1 mutual with all of them. Must get it active again by posting more mou liu things.　Ｕ　ｇｕｙｓ　ｃｏｎｔｒｉｂｕｔｅ　ｔｏｏ．　

"The Sze Ching Club" isnt doing so bad as well. We now have 9 members! 9! imagine that. although only 5 are real Sze Chings the others just join for fun i think. i just made all the Sze Chings admins but i dunno what else to do to make it more active. any suggestions?

Be warned, though. He's a bit fat.

one of my fav song

2 korean songs i've been listening to while i study. i find that when i dont understand the language i can actually concentrate on my book instead of on the song. same things for songs with just melody.

My favourite japanese singer, YUI

It suddenly hit me that audrey's probably got HD for every subject she took so far. Thats right she hasnt even had something as low as a distinction yet. I think she'll cry if she does.

I'm experiencing ultimate failure syndrome.

STUDY !!

extreme tetris. make sure u watch the few minutes towards the end.



he really shud get a life

This is how you win who wants to be a millionaire with style

This girl is freakin amazing.



16 years old, thats just pure talent


(her name is Charice Pempengco)

yeah thats right i dont wanna edit my post so i keep posting new ones live with it

I think the solution to my life problem is PASSION. If i have it then i'll just rely on my PASSION to do things. Problem is i havent found anything to be passionate about.

I've always thought that the most important thing in life is to be happy and i always try to do things keeping to this rule, thinking that its the right way to live. but is it? lately i've been forced to do things that i wouldnt think will make me happy coz its a lot of hard work but it turns out to be surprisingly satisfying. which make me wonder if making the most out of my life is a proper way to live life as well. if it is, which way is the right one to follow the next time i need to decide if i'll do something? Is the purpose of living, happiness, satisfaction, to make others happy, or simply to act according to my heart instead of my brain? I'm kinda lost.

shud i study now for my quiz tomoro? its already 12.24 am and im sleepy. i know it would make me happy if i can sleep now and still do decently for the quiz tomoro so the path to take if i wanna be happy is to take a short nap, wake up later to study and sleep at 5, and i'll be able to do that bloody paper. but if i dont nap and go straight to studying i can trump the quiz and it'll bring me more satisfaction and i'll feel much better when i get the result. but why do something to get more happiness in the future, but suffer now? why would ppl think future happiness is more important the present happiness? on the other hand, i will get higher marks. But my heart tells me to go sleep. my conscience says otherwise. so what do i do? which path shud i take in life? im still lost.

i cant believe i used so many question marks.

I;m wondering if i've lived my life right. or if i'm living the right way now. or if i'm ever going to live the right way.

what is the right way of living?

ok enuff la i think

still testing

still testing

just testing

just testing to see if posting a few posts a day would get me on google reader's recommended blogs

stole this off merlin's blog,which i havnet visited for a very long time coz i have his blogspot instead of his wordpress on google reader. booyah!



also, just realised that i havent gotten any feed from xtine, qy and 1+'s blogs coz they publicised them (i think that was the term used for restricting the viewership of a blog to invited guests only). apparently they talk about alot of secrets on their blogs instead of cars for engineering projects and bacon pancakes for lunch like a certain pathetic someone with no life. i had 2 'of's and 2 'for's in the previous sentence and my primary school english teacher would have convinced me that its bad grammar. i personally see no fault in it.

no i did not imply that there is anything wrong with publicising your own blog (again the doubt regarding the correctness of the term arises in my mind [btw, is correctness even a word {is embedding brackets in other brackets even allowed in english? or any other language at that *shit i've done it again |i'll have to use double apostrophe in the next embedded brackets i use "like this one" coz i've ran out of brackets to use|. *. }? ]. ). Note the correct Harvard referencing standard of fullstops after closing brackets.

ok lame no life lame no life shud go sleep and rise like an early bird for math lecture tomoro lame.

i think i have a tendency to state my side-thoughts in brackets. its gonna be my gaya bahasa when little kids analyse my blog in the future.

some girls are scary and very sly. maybe most girls are. dont read too much into this i am NOT referring to u or anyone u may or may not know.

i like YUI. she sing nice songs. who the hell is Younha?

nvr mind i wiki'd her. oh she sang the 3rd bleach ending! ok la not bad.


i started reading tsubasa reservoir chronicles. no its not a book its a manga. but if i started talking about this then i have to give a short synopsis and then say what i think about it. im too lazy to do that so i think i'll just skip this part.

i finished "Kane and Abel" last week. this one is a book. by Jeffrey Archer. which i bought from a book sale that i went with audrey. the last feww sentences would also have been condemned by my primary skul english teacher. anyway, the book is about the life of two very different ppl starting from the time they were born, until the time they become millionaires, until they die fighting each other. the reason i spent so much time and effort (3 minutes ok!) to think out this paragraph is bcoz the book is very good, one of the unputdownable books in fact. but its quite brutal at certain parts and is not suitable for kids. since no kids read my blog (i assume) i'm gonna openly recommend it. There r reasons y it already sold more than 3,000,000 copies in 1990 ok. I like jeffrey archer's book, even though i wiki'd him and his profile turns out to be less than amusing. i also like wikipedia.

HELLO PPL

My 200th post!!!

I think with 200 posts i've written a lot of words on this blog. Altho the posts for the past few months contain lots of 1 sentence paragraphs.

***************************

The fun of doing engineering subjects is that we can do unconventional stuff to get marks. Like the air powered vehicle that we have to build (20% of unit of study). The concept is pretty easy; build a pressure tank from a normal 1.25L plastic bottle, build a vehicle, and use the tank to power the vehicle across a distance of 5 - 15 m. We wanted to build a dirigible coz the ground is quite rough but helium tank is too expensive to rent so we have to settle for a car instead. After 1 whole day of work the car we built was still quite a failure. we had to release it downhill so that the result would turn out more encouraging. But when that still hadn't worked, we released it uphill instead so thaat we can blame the inclination. I'm sure in the end it'll turn out fine.

*********************************

I finally went to Canberra! C'mon ppl its more fun than other ppl would make u believe. I learnt a lot about Australian history and government. Floriade was overrated. the lake was beautiful. japanese festival wasnt very rich with japanese culture.the girls in kimono were pretty cute. ANU has a lot of balls. parliament house was informative. war memorial was interesting. medina apartment was clean. and of course, the hosts and tour guides were very good hosts and tour guides. and thus ends my post on canberra.

i've always had the tendency to write the most basic form of a complete sentence, without elaboration. sometimes the sentences arent even complete.

Happy bday to ppl that i forgot to wished happy birthday to! ie. Chia Ling, Ling Weng, etc.

200th post!

Last week i had lunch in this cafe near the eng fac and had the biggest cultural shock of my life, in the form of my lunch itself. it was a pancake. with bacon on top. and with so much maple syrup that the pancake looked like an island in the plate. taste good actually. apparently its canadian. stop trying to imagine how it taste like coz there's no way u can.

lengthy absence was partly due to assignments (drowning), partly laziness, partly new found passion for pingpong and partly gears.

drawing gears do not fit to belong in the category of assigment bcoz it is so extremely tedious, time consuming, boring, unimaginative, monotonous, evil and despicable. The aussies just call it gay. not that i think assignments are fun but drawing gears is just on a whole new level. thats right its even lower than assignments.

i dont get much nightmares, but next time i do i'm sure i'll see gears. like in The Ring. except that instead of glowing ring on tv i see glowing gear on my computer.

i need to vacuum my room.

i just realised that i dont have as much desire as an average young person. nor passion. nor facial expression(this i was told quite a while ago). its like at some point in my life i died a little inside. wonder how long i need to search for that something to rekindle the fire.

all this, from "Last" to "fire.", was written to run away from answering: "Briefly explain how each of the following influences the tensile modulus of a semicrystalline polymer and why:" why la, why ?

Again, I fell under the magical spell of Robin Hobb

For the last meal b4 the new sem started, I cooked curry coz I dunno when again can I spend so much time cooking in the near future. I kinda felt like i shud take my own sweet time while i still could, so i did everything at a leisurely pace n finished cooking 2.5 hrs later. It was good, and it lasted 3 meals (after that all I've had were microwave food and instant noodles. But it's Saturday now so i'll cook something decent today). I made a pathetic attempt to prolong my holiday by sleeping at 5 am that night and ended up being late to my 1st lecture of the sem, as aforementioned.

Oh have I bitched mentioned that i had an assessment already, in the1st week of uni? Coz i had. It was on friday, for mechanical design. That's the subject that's supposed to teach us free-hand sketching so that we can sketch machines and their parts. Our first assignment was to sketch a block with protruding cylindrical shapes at the sides. I've always thought that i have zero talent in drawing but that cant be true coz there were ppl doing worse than me. If my assumption stands then it means they have negative artistic talent, which is not possible so we have to adjust the scale to zero their talent, thus pushing my talent to the positive side. So we come to the conclusion that I am somewhat artistically gifted.

Right b4 uni started, I finally bought Robin Hobb's liveship trilogy. I had a hard time deciding whether I'll enjoy this or the soldier son trilogy more. I am again reminded of why I love Robin Hobb so much. I find it not as unputdownable as the previous 2 trilogies of hers coz the ppl and settings keep changing every chapter but I wouldnt be able to stop mid-chapter. The level of details given to each character, the scale and completeness of the world she created and the magnificent plot with delicious twists, cleverly told, create yet another extraordinary story. Why Robin Hobb hasn't achieved the level of attention similar to, or even surpassing, that of JK Rowling or CS Lewis I couldnt imagine. She's definitely one of the best. Stupid world.

I'm listening to Switchfoot. They're good.

Harold and Kumar is the best movie of the century

Everyone must watch

new sem

was late to the 1st class of the semester. not my fault k class starts at 8.

OMG OMG CREDIT FOR MECHATRONIC OMG

k gonna sleep now bye

Result is out (some of them)

didnt do quite as well as i thought i would do in certain subjects but didnt fail anything im not supposed to fail, altho the one most feared is yet to be revealed.

it feels quite meaningless to get the result for everything except mechatronic coz i already know i wouldnt fail the others.

actually, no. i'm happy to get hd in dynamics and sad to not get hd for the other 2. it does matter.

so when the hell r they gonna release my mecha result?

ah, the sum of all fears.

all hail one-sentence paragraphs.

OMG

This is in The Borneo Post.

Read the bold words.

It could've been me.



3 terbunuh dalam tempoh 3 jam
Oleh Andy Sabang dan Abang Ismail

Seorang pemuda maut lepas sebulan berkahwin, dua wanita maut selepas Kancil bertembung Kenari

SIBU, 7 Ogos: Seorang pemuda yang baru sahaja mendirikan rumah tangganya pada bulan lalu, menemui maut di jalan raya apabila lori membawa muatan tong gas yang dipandunya merempuh belakang sebuah lori lain di Kilometer 41 Jalan Sibu/Bintulu.

Mangsa yang terbunuh dikenali sebagai Lau Hui Ming berusia 25 tahun dari Taman Rejang, Sibu.

Dalam kejadian kira-kira jam 12 awal pagi tadi, mangsa sedang dalam perjalanan pulang untuk menghantar tong gas ke pusat pengumpulannya di Selangau.

Bagaimanapun punca sebenar kejadian sehingga berita ditulis masih belum diketahui, dan Utusan Borneo difahamkan lori yang dipandu mangsa telah merempuh bahagian belakang sebuah lori yang pancit di tepi jalan.

Akibat kecelakaan tersebut, mangsa yang mengalami kecederaan serius di bahagian dada dan kepala meninggal dunia di tempat kejadian.

Orang awam yang menyaksikan kejadian ngeri itu terus menghubungi pihak polis untuk mendapatkan bantuan. Turut berkejar ke tempat kejadian ialah anggota bomba dan penyelamat dari Balai Bomba Sentral Sibu.

Sementara itu, majikan mangsa yang turut datang ke tempat kejadian kira-kira jam 1 pagi tadi, memberitahu mangsa telah bekerja dengannya sejak setahun yang lalu.

Sebelum kejadian katanya, beliau ada menghubungi mangsa dan bertanyakan di mana beliau berada.

“Ketika saya menghubungi mangsa kira-kira jam 10 malam tadi, mangsa memberitahu saya yang dia berhenti makan di Batu 8 Jalan Sibu/Bintulu,” ujar beliau yang masih terkejut dengan kejadian itu.

Namun selepas beberapa jam kemudian, mangsa katanya, masih belum kunjung tiba, menyebabkan beliau mengambil keputusan untuk mencari mangsa.

“Saya ada hubungi telefon bimbitnya beberapa kali tetapi tidak berjaya. Tidak cukup dengan itu saya yang bimbangkan keselamatannya turut menghubungi ahli keluarganya,” tambah beliau.

Menurut majikannya lagi, mangsa merupakan seorang pekerja yang rajin serta patuh akan arahannya.

Ahli keluarga mangsa turut bergegas ke tempat kejadian sejurus dimaklumkan mengenai insiden tersebut dan memberitahu mangsa merupakan anak kedua daripada tujuh adik-beradik.

Menurut mereka mangsa merupakan sumber mata pencarian keluarganya dan bekerja menjual tong-tong gas di sekitar kawasan Sibu Jaya dan juga Selangau.

Sementara itu di Bintulu, dua wanita terbunuh dalam kemalangan ngeri melibatkan masing-masingnya sebuah kenderaan Kancil dan Kenari sekitar jam 10.30 malam tadi di simpang lampu isyarat ke Nyabau dan jalan Tanjung Kidurong.

Mangsa yang meninggal dunia serta-merta di tempat kejadian ialah penumpang kereta Kancil dikenalpasti sebagai Ulat ak Kudul, 44 yang merupakan isteri kepada pemandu kereta itu.

Manakala pemandunya Janting ak Sumbang, 46 yang mengalami kecederaan parah di kepala kini ditempatkan di unit rawatan rapi hospital Bintulu dan anak mereka Henry ak Janting pula mengalami kecederaan ringan. Difahamkan kesemua mereka tercampak dari dalam kenderaan mereka akibat impak dari kemalangan terbabit.

Sementara seorang lagi wanita yang meninggal dunia serta-merta di tempat kejadian adalah penumpang kenderaan Kenari dikenalpasti sebagai Christine Tan Sze Ching, 19 yang dipercayai mengalami kecederaan parah.

Dan seorang lagi dalam kenderaan Kenari itu pula merupakan seorang lelaki dan difahamkan masih hidup dan turut mengalami kecederaan parah.

Kenderaan Kancil yang dipandu Janting itu dipercayai dalam perjalanan dari Nyabau ke rumah mereka di RPR Kidurong di sini, dan Kenari pula dalam perjalanan dari pusat bandar ke Kidurong.

Akibat pelanggaran dahsyat itu, kedua-dua kenderaan terbabit terbalik di tepi simpang lampu isyarat tersebut. Pasukan paramedik dari hospital Bintulu, polis trafik serta anggota Bomba turut bergegas ke tempat kejadian bagi memberikan bantuan kecemasan kepada mangsa malam tadi.

is it just me or is everyone blogging more to procrastinate?

Yesterday i went to sleep at 8 am when the sun was rising. Then i woke up at 5pm. I looked outside and it was already dark.

There is no sunshine in my life today.

Sze Ching says:
btw, u 2 still 2gether rite
Wen Jun says:

Wen Jun says:
since u said yes do i dare to say no?
Sze Ching says:

Sze Ching says:
now i can keep shooting u
Wen Jun says:
haha
Wen Jun says:
but since u r in fact evil and u stil wanna shoot me does that mean i already break up?
Sze Ching says:
no, coz me being evil is only a fact to u, so that means only u think the relationship is over

i got this email :

There is a file attached to this email

Solve the riddle and you can open it

How to open attached file ?

There is a bus with 7 girls

Each girl has 7 bags .

In each bag, there are 7 big cats

Each big cat has 7 little cats.

Each cat has 4 legs .

Question: How many legs are present in the bus?

Number of legs is the password to open the attached file.

If you open the file, write your name on the list inside, and send
this email to your friends to let them solve it

this is the modified version. the original one has a lot of bull about how only geniuses can open the file. its pretty lame. im sure even my primary skul cousin can solve it. but anyone who wants it tell me i can send it to u.

i feel like i've been complaining alot on my blog. oh well.

Hoping a better place is all I need,
With moments of innocence and mystery,
Oh, it's the little things you miss,
Like waking up all alone,
Oh, it's the little things you miss,
When you're underneath it all.

So say goodbye to love,
And hold your head up high,
There's no need to rush,
We're all just waiting, waiting to die

I hereby declare Uchiha Itachi my hero

Mechatronic ?

Studying mechatronic makes me understand how spoon-fed msian education system is. I was so ill-prepared to take the subject. week after week, they just dump you with a problem and you're supposed to solve it with whatever limited basic knowledge that they provide you during lectures, which is of course not enough. hence the need for spending dozens of hours doing research, pre-reading, discussions,and worst of all, trial and error AND debugging. you're supposed to think up new methods as you go, write out the programme and refine it until it works. all these cant be done in the mere 3 hours of lab time we have every week, so everybody stay back everyday. brilliant. i became so hardworking its scary.

it also made me realise how stupid i actually am compared to other people out there. i used to secretly think that i'm ok in terms of intelligence but man, i'm glad i realise my delusion early. i can safely say that among mechatronic students, i am below average (i secretly think that a lot of them are monsters). i guess there's a reason mechatronic is one of the hardest engineering course to get into. so yes, another gain of doing the course: a virtue called humility.

but even they feel the agony and depression. glad i'm not alone. feel free to visit our "Depressed Mechatronics Anonymous" facebook group! despite how it sounds it's actually very cool. there're pictures and song lyrics to express our feelings and stuff. something like this :

A coma might feel better than this,
Attempting to discover, where to begin,
You're weighed down you're full of something,
Of sickness and desertion,
You're weighed down you're full of something,
You're underneath it all.

So say goodbye to love,
And hold your head up high,
There's no need to rush,
We're all just waiting, waiting to die.

haha so cool right?

worry not, i shall persevere. Despite all the efforts we must make and all the complaints we have this subject is actually quite fun, coz its not like those dry studying-and-doing-questions-with-definite-answers kinda subject. we actually construct something from scratch, using whatever means we can think of as long as it achieves the specifications. it lets our creativity roam free and when we get the stuff to work, its really really satisfying. in fact i now look down on those dry studying-and-doing-questions-with-definite-answers kinda subject which i still have to take, but i guess they make life easier.

time to do my due-tomorrow Mechanics of Solids assignment!(relatively peanuts, but i've been skipping so many lectures i must study 1st before i can do it)

YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

surely this is worth missing lectures for.

News websites crash as poll results pour in
Mar 9, 08 6:04pm

Malaysian news websites, popular as an an alternative to government-linked mainstream media, crashed under the demand for news as elections handed the ruling coalition a stunning upset.

Operators said they were unsure if it was a systematic attack or if high demand on websites had triggered a shutdown mechanism when results began going online yesterday night.

"The traffic was so high that it triggered an automatic mechanism which assumed we were under attack, automatically shutting down our website," said Steven Gan, co-founder of online news journal Malaysiakini.

"But we cannot be sure if it was a deliberate attack or just a genuinely high volume of traffic," Gan told AFP.

Malaysiakini was among many online news websites that were inaccessible to viewers after elections for parliament and state seats.

The slow pace of the mainstream media in communicating huge gains by the opposition also contributed to viewership.

"Traffic really picked up then because the mainstream media was really blacking out the news of the results," said Malaysiakini's CEO Premesh Chandran, adding it was drawing a million viewers an hour before it crashed.

"Maybe some people wanted the results to be delayed. Almost all news websites and the forums were down," said Ng Chong Soon, operations manager of another alternative news website Merdekareview.

Under systematic attack?

Ng said other websites which went down included cari.com.my and several Mandarin-language sites.

Operators reacted by creating alternative links to their domain through blogspots and back-up servers.

"If indeed it has happened to most news websites then it would be good grounds to assume that it was some sort of a systematic attack," Premesh said.

The Barisan Nasional suffered its worst ever result in Saturday's polls, losing its two-thirds majority in parliament for the first time since 1969 and conceding four more states to a resurgent opposition.

The government is hostile to independent news blogs and websites, and has threatened them with action under draconian internal security laws.

- AFP

Are all the news on election being blocked? i cant find any updates after the results came out.

iMoved

yup. to a house 40 units down the street. y? coz i cant stand my housemate who lowers the cleanliness of the house to a level not fit for human habitation. i dun wanna live with maggots.

So yeah, we confronted each other and i moved and now i have to walk 2-3 more minutes to go to class. i met my new housemate today and he's also a malaysian! an indian guy named Logan (so was Wolverine btw). He's quite nice to talk to. im liking this house already =)

apparently he went to the same primary skul as our previous PM's and our previous deputy PM's (now a leader of an opposition party) daughter and according to him the 2 of them were best frens! but after THAT incident their relationship took a turn for the worse, which is really sad.

this post long enuf?

Somehow, in Sydney, I dont have the mood to play games for hours like I used to. All I do is sleep. So today when I woke up from my evening nap i had nothing to do so i studied what was taught this morning. It actually feels quite satisfying so i think i'm gonna do it again. U ppl shud take me as an example and learn from me.

Keep up the momentum!

uarghhhh baba bum lu cai

Someone say my posts are getting shorter so I'm gonna do a long one now. i mean soon. when the mood comes. coz now suddenly no mood. ah, the world is a cold and cruel place!

Fullmetal Achemist

I was recently introduced to this wonderful anime series, thanx to Nooi Hoay's bro who doesnt read my blog so i cannot thank him here. And why is it so wonderful? I once read that a story is all about its conflicts, and if u think about it it's actually quite true. The main and sub-plots that make stories interesting all involves conflict; the battle between good and evil, the internal conflict of a man having to choose between 2 woman, the internal struggle of a person given difficult options to choose from, etc etc. Fullmetal Alchemist (referred to hereafter simply as fma due to my great laziness) provides that in abundance, delivering them with such creativity that it's thought-provoking. The series let viewers thread the fine lines between right or wrong and good or evil, often changing a fixed perception by just showing an event, action or character from a different angle. Most of the time, the characters were forced to take a stand and determine the right thing to do using their own judgment with their actions bringing heavy consequences. I was assured that Evangelion does this better, but I havent watched that before so i'll continue being impressed by fma. Oh, and the story rocks. Full of passion and clever twists. Watch it if you can.

Went to the Youth '08 convention today but didnt get to see Kenny Sia. Got a free AAA battery-sized shokobutsu facial foam from the 988 booth for playing a stupid game which lasted 4 seconds.

At night, Eng Peng's 21st bday party! (for d info of anyone who doesnt know, EP is my secondary skul (SMK Bukit Indah) fren who later became UPM food processing faculty's Course Queen) It was quite big coz around 45 ppl came. D interesting thing about the party is the guests were naturally divided into 2 groups : SMKBI group and UPM group. So in order to make the party more lively we had some ice-breaking games. In our groups the guys r obviously much more sporting than the girls but for their group its d other way around. Luckily, our guys and their girls made up the majority of the crowd so it was as noisy and cheerful as we hoped. Its great seeing so many of my old frens again. And Shawn was an excellent MC.

Girls are so emo

What I did on my birthday

Me n family ( + sis' bf) went to a new Korean bbq restaurant near my place to celebrate. It's actually half bbq half steamboat coz they have a pot for steamboat besides the hot stone plate for bbqing on every table. The thing I like about d place is that they have an ABC machine for u to make it urself. I actually told my family that I'm gonna belanja them but when i was walking to the counter to pay, my sis' bf, with unbelievable speed rushed past me n quickly settled the bill. I didnt force him ok, he force me to accept.

The restaurant's quite nice. I'll go there again. No pic.

Then we went back to home to have cake. Fresh cream cheese cake! This is me n my sis posing.


After that my secondary skul frens called me out for a surprise yum cha celebration at Old town kopitiam which is also new around here. They all seem fatter.


And just bcoz i havent posted any pictures for a while i'm putting up a few here which serves no purpose.

My sister has made a real mess of her love life. She’s got a new boyfren (not exactly new but I only knew bout it not long before I came back so it was new to me), a 26-year-old senior engineer (by name only) in the engineering firm she went for internship in. The guy quite ok la, although senior engineer sounds very old but he looks very young only. Fun person, quite nice also. Supposedly top student in UTM last time (dunno true or not 1). He visits my house almost everyday, goes to work in the morning and comes here after work, then always stays overnight, basically lives here already. But he sleeps in my room not with my sis coz even though she’s already 22 my father still wouldn’t let them sleep together.

The problem is, my sister’s old boyfren still wouldn’t let go of her. So, even knowing that she already has a new bf, he comes every other day to find my sister. She’s not ignoring him also, since they’re still on friendly terms. But thank god, thank god the 2 guys never meet each other in my house coz the old one leaves in the afternoon and the new one only comes back from work after that. I don’t even want to imagine how awkward it would be if the unthinkable happens. They know of each other la of course.

I did a little survey on which guy my family likes more:

Mom : No preference
Dad : Both also very ma-fan (regarding the whole affair)
Sis : (I never asked but of course she prefers the new 1)
Me : I dunno…both seems like nice guys. They never try to bribe me also... Eh wait got; the old 1 bought me the uchiha sasuke keychain that I really like and hang on my laptop bag, the new 1 booked tickets to treat our whole family to watch “Enchanted” the other day (but we didn’t go coz we decided to let the 2 of them ber-romantic together, and I have a date also on that day). But takkan bribe like that only meh. I’m waiting for more u know…

Ok la my life isnt that meaningless. happy?

The PC version of FIFA 08 is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo disappointing. totally different from ps3 version (much worse). EA Sports sucks. I think I'll just buy winning eleven.

I also bought football manager 08 which also has a lot of different stuff compared to the old version. The most notable change is the new skin which is making me go blind. overall quite disappointed also. stupid Sports Interactive.

I'm deprived of both my main sources for entertainment now that they're not that entertaining anymore. My life became so meaningless. I wanna die. or at least hibernate until next year when fifa n fm 09 come out.

nothing to update

Gold Coast trip

It was really fun. I heard them laugh from their heart many times during the trip, and that was probably the most memorable part of it.

The end

The joy of freedom

The relief when the paper wasn't as hard as i thought it would be

The light steps i took walking home

The burden of the dread

The uncertainty of the future

The smiles that subconsciously creep up

The disappointment, from expectations

The emptiness of nothingness

blek

Will the world be a better place if I dont exist? Nah I'm not that depressed yet.

of PS3 and fifa 08

My housemate just got a new ps3. He traded in his old ps2 so he got the new one for only $499. We both had exams today but still wasted the whole afternoon yesterday playing FIFA 08. OMG I still cant believe he really bought the game.

Fifa's gameplay has always been criticised for not being real enough, so they have always been trying to emulate Winning eleven. They tried in Fifa 07 and failed, and even the graphic sucks. Fifa's graphic has always been superior to winning eleven.

But this time, the gameplay was almost a carbon copy of winning eleven's, and the graphic is unbelievable. I like it. Cant wait to get the pc version coz i can only play well with keyboard.

today was fun =)

Quote of the day

平时有烧香，临时不会死
(Wong 2007)

I have never been as hardworking in my whole life as I was yesterday. There's an engineering mechanics due today and also an electronic lab test at 9am. Yesterday after waking up at 9 to do a lab report and submitting it at 3, I went straight to doing the assignment until 9, resting only for half an hour to have dinner. I was so tired and so proud of myself that I let myself play some computer games until 11.30. Then I set my alarm to go off at 12.30am to study for Elec lab test, and went to sleep.

But it never rang, or so it felt. I woke up with a start at 9.20 and rushed to the lab. They were already halfway through the test. But I settled down and did ok. I've just submitted my engineering mechanics assignment, had a great lunch, and now feel much better. 2 more hours of lecture to go this afternoon and I'll be done with this semester!

Kill Me Now

The moment of the linear momentum vector mv about the origin O is defined as the angular momentum H of P about O, and the moment about the fixed point O of all forces acting on m equals the time rate of change of angular momentum of m about O. The total angular impulse on m about the fixed point O equals the corresponding change in angular momentum of m about O.

- Engineering Mechanics Dynamics 5th Edition pg 202-203 -

I need a life.

I need a dream.

I need more time.

I need sleep.

On a less emo note, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is right at the top next to Full Metal Panic Fumoffu, IMO.

Today

Today I woke up at 8.30 and missed the 8am math lecture. I checked my handphone and found that I have subconsciously adjusted my alarm to go off at 9 so that i will miss the lecture. This is weird because I usually subconsciously set it at 8.30.

***************

Today, after lunch, I went to the housing office to submit a form. After that, I went into the escalator, and the door closed. There was only this old lady in the escalator with me. Ok maybe she's not old, she looked a little younger than 50. and suddenly, she said, "Hi, I like your shoes. They're so...cool."

I was wearing my Nike Air with revolutionary design and state-of-the-art shoewear technology.



I would've been flattered, if she's a teenager. But she's not, and I was so shocked by her compliment that it took me 2 seconds before I answered "Thank you" with a huge artificial smile on my face. I feel as awkward as one caught in an escalator with a woman older than one's mother who just complimented how cool one's shoes are can be. And that's very, very awkward. She was opening her mouth to probably compliment my shoes further when fortunately, the escalator doors opened and a guy came in. She did not resume the conversation.

After some thinking, I have formed a few possible hypothesis:

1) She likes younger men and was hitting on me.
2) Her son's birthday is coming up and she likes my shoes so she wanted to know where to buy them. If this is indeed the case, I would have to tell her "Ipoh".
3) She collects Nike shoes since 1950.
4) She works for Adidas and have never seen that model before (as it's not sold in Australia) so she plans to get a pair and steal all the technology.
5) Not talking for 10 seconds while waiting for the elevator to get down to ground floor is too unbearable so she was trying to make conversation.
6) She's young at heart, or at least try to be.

************************

Today, I also earned $10. Of course, it requires some sacrifice. I have to be a guinea pig for those psychos in psychology department and let them mess with my mind and my sense of identity. I was forced to read 96 malay sentences on the screen while they study my eye movements, no doubt to penetrate my thought and use the info obtained against me in the future. It was quite fun and I made some new friends too (other guinea pigs). Easiest $10 I've ever earned.

"Death is always less painful and easier than life! You speak true. Yet we do not, day to day, choose death. Because ultimately, death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice. Death is what you get when there are no choices left to make."

-The Fool-

I just ignored my soon to be due lab report and watched Jay chow's new movie online.

http://www.crunchyroll.com/showseries?id=5297

his acting still sucks.

good movie though

i can make it. just 2 more days!

Current confidence level 130/100

I just had 2 quizzes consecutively from 2 to 4pm and I'm not dead yet! Woohoo! Impossible is NOTHING! Bring it on!

I downloaded some songs from stephanie sun's new album, and i dont know if it's bcoz i dont have the chance to listen to many chinese songs lately but the songs actually sound quite good. ok it may sound like i dont like stephanie sun but thats not the case. i just dont usually like the 1st singles from her albums. this time i find it quite enjoyable.

that said, i still prefer her 2nd single (我懷念的)

For ppl that cant read chinese the previous post was just about how much i hate c programming and how slow i type in chinese

中文 post

既然都已经用国语写了一篇post， 今天就尝试一下以中文来写吧。(这一行字我打了至少两分钟)

我发觉我很讨厌 C Programming. 不是应为它闷, 相反的它其实很有趣地...可是,每一次做tutorial的时候它都会让我觉得自己很笨, 应为简单的一题基本题目我都属要花上正个钟头去解决,而且有时还解决不了.咳..下个星期就要交assignment了,我还没头绪要怎样做...怎么办呢?

用中文打字真的很辛苦...

Merdeka

Sempena Hari Merdeka saya akan menyahut cabaran Audrey dan mengikut trend blogger-blogger lain pada bulan ini untuk berblog dalam bahasa melayu.

Pertama sekali, ingin saya memberi sedikit pujian kepada saudari Daphne atas ketekalannya berblog dalam bahasa melayu sepanjang bulan Ogos. Azam Daphne dalam menghabiskan misinya harus dicontohi semua. Sekiranya para pembaca berasa stail penulisan saya seperti menjawab soalan pendidikan moral, ini adalah kerana ayat bahasa melayu penuh yang terakhir yang saya tulis sebelum ini adalah ketika saya belajar di matrikulasi dahulu. ini adalah alasan yang sangat munasabah dan haruslah diterima oleh semua pembaca. Ya, saya masih ingat lagi yang 'semua pembaca sekalian' adalah salah dari segi tatabahasa.

Baiklah, kembali ke tajuk berblogging dalam bahasa melayu, ide ini sebenarnya tidak lahir dari fikiran Daphne. Dia sebenarnya hanya menyahut seruan seorang blogger lain yang patriotik. Akan tetapi, blogger ini juga bukan blogger Inggeris pertama yang berblogging dalam Bm. Tidak, kerana seingat saya saudari Tan Sze Huey telah berblogging dalam BM pada bulan merdeka tahun lalu !(ataupun 2 tahun lalu. lupalah) Dan sekiranya pembaca sekalian ingat perkataan 'ide' pada permulaan perenggan ini adalah kesalahan dalam penaipan, saudara saudari telah tersilap. Ide sebenarnya adalah cara lama untuk mengeja perkataan idea dan masih lagi sahih mengikut dewan bahasa dan pustaka. Haha tengoklah, BM saya sungguh hebat bukan!

Demi menyambut bulan merdeka, saya telah memuat turun dua buah lagu yang merupakan versi alternatif lagu kebangsaan kita, iaitu versi rap yang telah menimbulkan kontroversi di negara kita serta lagu hawaii yang telah dicuri melodinya untuk menjadi lagu kebangsaan kita (untuk maklumat lanjut layari kennysia.com)[dan orang-orang bodoh yang ingat "muat turun" adalah translasi saya sendiri untuk perkataan "download", anda telah tersilap. Frasa ini juga sahih dalam BM). Saya mendapati kedua-dua buah lagu ini sunnguh sedap dan tidak muak walau didengari sepanjang hari. Siapa sangka lagu kebangsaan kita boleh menjadi sebegini lunak?

Ok lah, sampai sini sahaja coretan saya pada kali ini. Pos ini sepatutnya ditulis semalam sempena hari kebangsaan, tetapi semalam saya telah meraikan merdeka dengan menjamu selera di restoran Msia dan selepas itu menonton filem Bourne Ultimatum di pawagam dan saya berasa sungguh letih selepas saya pulang ke bilik. Akhir kata, ingatlah bahawa ianya bukan "mempersiasuekan" tetapi "menyiasuekan" dan 31 Ogos adalah hari kebangsaan dan bukannya hari jadi Msia, kerana hari jadi Msia adalah pada 16 September iaitu ulang tahun pembentukan negara Msia. Ya saya tahu, iklan-iklan itu semuanya terencat akal.

There are a few things that i must do after coming back from class before i start doing work coz nobody do work right after class. They post-class activities:

1. Online - check email, google reader, ESPNSoccernet, facebook etc
2. have snack
3. play computer games
4. evening nap, sometimes

And before I know it, it'll be dinner time!
After dinner, there are also a few things that I have to do coz studying right after dinner is just so depressing :

1. online - check email (again), google reader(again), ESPNSoccernet(again), facebook (again)etc
2. continue where i left off with my computer games
3. have desert (sometimes)
4. read manga onine (currently one piece)
5. Watch TV

And before I know it, it'll be 10.00pm ! Then I'll feel really guilty and start doing work, unless it's friday.

What mean he?

Our Prime Minister on the newly proposed 'Apex Universities' :

" ... student intake in these universities would not be based on race but the enrolment must reflect the country's ethnic diversity."

?????????

It would be incorrect to say that I dont understand what he meant but his message eludes me. Despite being blatantly obvious, the meaning of the sentence is apparently hidden. It took me an eternity shorter than the time for my blog to load to ponder upon its meaning. Oh paradox!

I wanna be hardworking!! Give me back my will to study!!! Give me back my kiasuness!!!

What's happening to me? This is not how a jpa student's life shud be. I feel so guilty and yet there's just a really really thick mental wall blocking my way, stopping me from studying. i need someone to control the amount i play and study. like my mum. gosh that was so immature.

i feel miserable when i study as well as when i dont study. sigh....is this really the right path for me? i shud've jsut become a professional gamer.

there r some times when u just hate ur life.

All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.

Dance

Hmm, interesting.

Last night, I was happily playing computer in my room when someone banged on my door really loudly. so i went to open it and found a police standing outside. and he went,"Hi there, are u alrite?"

It took me around 5 decisecond to get over my shock and reply ,"Yeah I'm perfectly fine. Is something wrong?"

"Oh, we're just checking. A few minutes ago someone from this house called and asked for help for an overdose of drug. So everyone in this room ok?"

"Yeah, I;m the only one in my room."

I looked behind him and there were six other cops in the house. My housemates were all outside their room looking confused. After checking all the rooms and was satisfied that we were all safe and sound, the cops reluctantly left the house. I looked out from my window and there were, besides the police cars, two ambulance outside the house as well. The cops realised that i was looking at them and they looked back at me suspiciously. I quickly took a couple of steps back.

The cause turned out to be my housemate's ex-boyfriend. after they broke up he went a bit mad and started disturbing her. She even have a restraining order against him. last night was just another thing he did.

Such interesting housemates i have. Another housemate of mine broke up last week and even came to my room to talk.

I love this place.

Did I mention that my unit is the biggest and newest house on the street? It's also the house closest to the engineering faculty. My yet another housemate told me he had to wait for 3 years to get this house.

Audrey and Wanmit performed last night! *gasp* Dancing!

bla bla lalala random post

i just had a quiz worth 10%. easy as hell. shouldnt have studied. wasted all those game playing time.
