A treat for the LOTR fanboys/girls out there. ;)

LOL.

愛無愧

2010-01-21T23:13:00.003+08:00

耀眼金色的包裝　你今天好比如一束花　明天這一刻璀璨嗎

拆開金色的包裝　我今天應該能看到吧

誰故意去誘惑　沉迷難逃嗎

或者心裡　就似是有鬼

越想觸碰　越要學放低

有一種忌諱　是一世

什麼亦　能摧毀　Ahh~

或者可以　自我控制　別理會世間引誘豔麗

誰可以　就算得到身邊一切　然而仍能無愧

就怪當天不小心　那一絲的差錯已送運　連帶了今天的處分

結果一早應該知道　竟膽敢一試太過分

忘記有過快樂　如毫無良心

或者心裡　就似是有鬼

越想觸碰　越要學放低

有一種忌諱　是一世

什麼亦　能摧毀　Ahh~

為了需要　甚至獻計　在這亂世間引誘豔麗

如果你　妄想得到身邊一切　對錯任你控制

Fate and Tragedy

2010-01-18T23:25:00.002+08:00

Sometimes in life, tragedies occur. You will feel very depressed. You will feel very sad. You will feel very frustrated. You will feel that it is unfair and that these happenings should not have happened.

What if it happens around you?

The magnitude of it amplifies and increases by many folds, seemingly filled with heartache and sadness. It is as if a part of you has been ripped apart and never to return ever again.

Well, to all readers out there, this is the inconvenient truth.

On the 17th of January 2010, 5 Chung Ling students and a teacher perished from a terrible accident during a dragon boat practice session.

I say this with heartfelt agony and pain. My heartfelt condolences goes to all the families and friends who have known them.

And right now, the blame game starts just so soon after this has happened. It just adds to the frustration which has already circulated the whole issue.

Perhaps it is time people try to rationalise that there is nothing left to be rationalised.

Perhaps, it is just fate. It is just fate that put everything into play causing this. On a day which everything got wrong, fate is just simply unavoidable.

No matter how you try to cheat death, one day, it will suffice. Even if you lay at home sitting down on a couch watching TV, you still cannot escape fate.

So, it is time people accept. It is a time people should stop all this blaming and pointing, which is just a nuisance to what already is a tragic event. It is time people should see that it was just not meant to be. Let's just mourn over their loss and carry on with our lives. Cherish every moment we have. Live life to the fullest and get up from this fall we have just experienced! I'm sure that is what those who are gone which we would do.

Life goes on...

May the five students and teacher rest in peace. Amen.

8 Days In A Lift?!

2010-01-15T22:22:00.002+08:00

Woman survives eight days stuck in lift

Police and firefighters in Spain have rescued a woman who spent eight days trapped in the lift of her apartment building, police say.

The 35-year-old was found conscious but disorientated and was taken to hospital after she was found in the private lift in the town of Sitges near Barcelona.

The police were alerted by relatives in Madrid who had reported her missing, and then heard her cries for help when they visited the building.

Police said it was not clear how the woman, who lived alone, managed to survive for that length of time.

The lift had apparently stalled due to an electrical fault.

Source : ABC.net.au

LOL? That woman must be seriously on a very light diet to be able to get used to it. Gosh..... @_@

Of Positives from Negatives

2010-01-10T20:43:00.003+08:00

So much for harmony.

It's about time something like this happened. With all the controversies and ridicule throughout the many years, does it really take all this to only make people realise? Gosh, I truly question the people's reaction time.

It might not seem as big a problem as it is. I mean, who the hell has the power to say that the term 'Allah' cannot be used by anyone else. By saying this, you are indirectly saying that you are as the likes of Prophet Muhammad perhaps, founder of the Islamic religion we all know of today.

First, you give history lessons to us dominated with that religion and its origins. Then, you come taint that very image. You know, this is not a bad thing after all. Giving us Sejarah on Islamic origins just makes us more aware of what Islam is all about. In fact, it made us realise that all this that you claim out of Islam is never part of Islam. Instead of serving its purpose to show Islam, it showed us the real side of this whole belief instead of what has been muttered out of politicians.

Maybe, it is better to not spark racial remarks. Hey, take the recent church arson attacks. Although I am not Christian, this just shows how intolerant some people are. It is just sad I tell you.

Well, perhaps let's take another look at this matter. Are there any positives out of this?

I'll answer, "Yes!"

In fact, there is a lot to be taken out of this. If it takes a few firebombs and wrecked churches to awaken the people, it certainly is worth it. Now, people can see the real side. People can now realise how irrational this can become. You say elections don't matter. Take another good look. First the whole dispute over the word was never supposed to happen. It takes them a whole 16 year period to realise that The Herald used to word and finally take action against it? I mean, come on. Common sense tells you this whole issue is a total ridicule.

Next, for once, this whole issue takes its appearance on CNN. That's right. At least now, the whole world can see it. It may not be a groundbreaking achievement to most of you. But at least, people from the outside world can get to see that, Malaysia is not as peaceful as it seems after all. Even now, foreigners can voice out their opinion on websites and say that this whole problem is a disgrace as well as how Wawasan 2020 can never be achieved if something like this cannot even be sought out. This is just very depressing.

I might not be right about everything. But if even foreigners can take a good look and say all this is crap, then it should be pretty obvious. Gosh, this is so not meant to be racist or anything. In fact, I respect every race out there. It is more like down to those individuals who can commit acts like this that deserve to be pointed to.

Malaysia is a country where many races live in peace alongside one another. I think this has been running away from us already. No doubt, this is every Malaysians dream....... Dreams do come true.... don't they?

Life goes on.

Ouch

How is your glass?

2009-12-31T18:39:00.006+08:00

Two, the milleniums.

Zeros, the centuries, the decades

Nine, the years.

After twenty four weeks,

three hundred and sixty five days.

All is to change in the coming hours.

Try reflecting over the minutes,

and even seconds which have gone by,

how would you judge this bottle of wine?

And there I stood, watching as those memoirs of yesteryear flash by. At one moment, there was a start of a new year, fresh and energizing. Always that way at the start. And now here we are, all standing by the tip of the canyon, the end of this journey, all ready and set to embark on a new one ahead as we watch the past fall behind, like it was just a matter of seconds.

Maybe those seconds mattered more than what it seemed to be. It has always been the human brain playing a trick on us, don't you think? Like some psychologists say, the brain cuts off less meaningful events, moving forward events to make them seem very near to us when in truth, we have gone through much more than we thought we would. Time had given us three hundred and sixty five days, only to have it converted into a matter of minutes.

On one hand, you might say I have not done much. I sometimes think so too. It is as if I have poured cheap dessert wine into my new wine glass. Bored is the term I usually use. Perhaps I indeed have not made much improvement or achievements from the eyes of the spectators, still planted in front of this little corner of mine as always. I guess this is what most think of themselves when they reflect, don't they? Try to think about it. How many on this Earth would think that they have done a lot and are extremely satisfied about how they have filled their wine glass? I'd say not more than ten percent. Sadly, when requested to give a suggestion for any amendment of time, everyone hoped they have more hours.

Yes we will never be satisfied. It is human nature. Coming out fresh from Psychology 1B, I dare say that according to various studies, the human happiness level is constant. When we experience significant events, it is then that we experience the significant change. Though, it still levels off soon after. We will then come into that same level of happiness as we once were. Many say they wish for happiness. Honestly, can this ever be achieved? I guess that question can be left for the bored in later days.

If I wrote what I have done in an essay and submit it to a superstar panel, I bet all of them would say I have wasted it. Give them to mega entrepreneurs, they would say I am stupid enough to waste income. What do you expect? Half a year of slacking plus half a year of slacking. I bet the only times I had ever made any progress can be shortened to a matter of weeks.

However, I dare say that 2009 has been the most productive year of my entire life. Physically, I may not have done much. But as far as how I thought I made my steps, I feel I have done so effectively. It could have been more, that I cannot deny. But it takes a little bit of self reflection to make someone get out of that little shell they were once guarding themselves with all these years.

I have not felt so proud of what I have been through for so long. 2009 brought me a change to my life. My perceptions, my ideas. It was when I realised what I had really wanted and what I had passion about. It was then I discovered the very pieces that form my soul. It was then that I finally reflected through all my life, and finally come to my senses on what I was to go through in the coming decade.

This may seem kind of small. But hey, who would dare say that they know what they want for themselves, truthfully and with confidence? That is an achievement itself that goes a long way. I found my interests, my goals and my soul. Finally, "我的自述" should not be much of a problem. Something that I should have mastered a long time ago. The question of the centuries.

Anyhow, words must be put into action. A new dawn looms ahead at the horizon, promising so much hope and excitement. Let the psychics say all they want about omens and predictions. It is not up to them to predict how we should run our lives. Destiny might ask you to predict your own life, making it your destiny to do it. But since it is our destiny to do all that we are supposed to do, why not look ahead with a smile and take the next footstep in our destiny's path. As for me, I'm just happy to have the privilege to do something I have not wanted to do for the last 16 years of my life. Haha. Don't you just love what your destiny can do to yourself? I do. And hopefully, those around the globe would love their destinies. Onward with the millenium!

Coming back to the wine glass. High class wine drinkers say dessert wine drinkers are low class. Red wine is the thing out there. I'd have to give them a slap in the face. A wine glass is meant for wine. If dessert wine is not wine, what is it? Besides, come to think of it, dessert wine can prove to be quite a lovely beverage too. As a new wine glass is placed before me, what should I pour into it? Well, that's the question I'd leave for tomorrow.

As for now, there is still 3 quarters of an hour to go here in the land down under. My best wishes to all that I have been so privileged to meet out there! To all in Penang and all over the world. Let us all have a toast with the last few sips of the wine in our wine glass and enjoy every moment of it!

To all readers out there,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope you have an awesome glass of wine! =)

Covey-ing the Message

2009-11-13T15:47:00.004+08:00

A passage I've come over a couple of times already. Not the first time. Yet, suddenly got reminded about this in an email (Thanks :) ). A bit long I know, but worthwhile. Just a little something I'd wish to share with all you delightful readers out there. =D

Discover the 90/10 Principle.

It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).

What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.

What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.

We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic.

We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.

How? ……….By your reaction.

You cannot control a red light. but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.

Let's use an example.

You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened.

What happens next will be determined by how you react.

You curse.

You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.

Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.

After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home.

When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.

Why? …. Because of how you reacted in the morning.

Why did you have a bad day?

A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is “D".

You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.

Here is what could have and should have happened.

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "Its ok honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference?

Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.

Why?

Because of how YOU REACTED.

You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you!

React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them?

WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive?

Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job.

Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.

The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take outpour frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on.

Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.

Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.

The result?

Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.

It CAN change your life!!!

Many thanks to Stephen R. Covey for this article! Something to remind us all about how we should deal with problems and not overreact. Some things you might argue cannot be helped. But if a little bit of damage control can turn things around, it goes a long way. A thought I would like to share :)

2009-11-09T21:41:00.008+08:00

Sometimes, we see things in a very simple way. Our very actions and activities day by day prove to be nothing but a routine to us, seemingly harmless in every way. A friend once told me that there is nothing to be afraid of, it's only the fear inside your heart.

That is in many ways, true. Yet, sometimes, you can't help but feel it.

I, myself, have a great flaw - paranoia. During situations where I feel I have no control of, freaking out is the first thing on my mind's to-do list for some reason. I certainly wished that I didn't have it, for if I didn't, I would have been a more successful person in life. At least, that's what I thought.

Come to think of it, though, I may have been a completely different person.

Well, that aside, sometimes, things can not be within your grasps any time. Try as you like to gain control over it, but it won't work.

Take life as an example. Everyone lives their own free lives, aiming to be the best that they will ever be.... constantly going higher and higher till you reach the top.

However, in this Rat Race, there is bound to be an "Mousetrap accident".

External forces would play their little game of disruption, constantly providing obstacles and danger in our way. Just as you'd play Monopoly. If you took a thousand turns, there is bound to be once where you'd lose cash... or even head to jail. Life is unfair as I've learned. People don't wish for calamities. You see rain dances, but not earthquake dances, right? Yet, they come inevitably and are unavoidable.

Such, as the news recently suggested. Although I might not know this person, the impact was still felt. The fact that the external force seemed to be of low danger to many just shows how little things deserved to be watched out for. No wonder the elders always tell us to be careful. Even in examinations, we are taught the concept of being cautious. This just highlights it all.

Though, cautious itself, sometimes, just isn't enough. "It's not like I've seen death on the news for the first time" as another friend blogged. But this one, considerably closer than most of them, just gives you a wake up call on how bloody precious life can be and how ridiculously cruel it can also be. It was........... out of our control.

For some reason, it just felt emotional. Just goes to show how much we should appreciate life and not whine about the little things we face everyday. We should live it to the maximum while we can.

want to be someone extraordinary in near future..

A big dream of the late James that could not be fulfilled. A reminder to us all who want to achieve greatness. Life, as it is, is not eternal and perfect. Fate, as it is, is hard to be changed. Instead of trying to change fate, work on what we have and do as much as we can. Live life well!

To the three, may you rest in peace.

Ah! The WileyPlus assignment is out! *runs to do*

Well, I guess when you go into uni, you get lots of cool things. Not just the technology and systems. But also, how the assignments are done. I have just completed my WileyPlus assignment :), something we have to do every 3 weeks or so. Got something new that I'd wish to share :P *not sure if I'm allowed to tho, but here goes*

Behold, THE ULTIMATE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY DRAWING JAVA PROGRAMME!

Drawing my dipeptides

My final answer.

So that's what you call a MarvinSketch. Honestly, it's one of the most troublesome programmes. Pulling elements and bonds here and there! Can't I just use an interactive pencil and draw some cool structure like this?

On second thought, maybe not. Haha. Life rocks when you go to uni :P

Un-surprised

2009-10-26T19:50:00.004+08:00

Gonna be a little emo. Well, what can I say? It's not like I never saw it. I was never surprised. Yes, excuses may come all they want. But still, sometimes, you feel like you're like a louse, being such an annoyance that you don't even know it. Yet, sometimes you know you did nothing wrong.

The world is constantly changing. For one moment, you thought you belonged. Yet at one moment, everything goes behind you.

What can I do? I knew it from the start. Surprise? Nah. I guess I was trying too hard. Maybe it's time for something fresh and leave everything behind. At least I can say that I did my best. For all that I know, a small notice would not be even sensed.

Maybe it's not what you did wrong. Maybe sometimes, it's some people's problem. They just don't value you enough. Even after all you tried and constantly seeking ways to improve, it just wouldn't work for you. Why is it like that? How I wish life was ever fair to us all.... Then, I would not suffer from this predicament. This just s*cks.

Remembering what a friend said last time, I guess it was true. Would it make that much of a difference? Trying to defy it, every attempt was thrown to fight it. I guess like another friend said, desperation leads you nowhere. True enough.

Just want to feel known. So much for the past....

Blah

The Miracle

2009-10-16T18:14:00.002+08:00

Finally, a breather. What I'm supposed to do is done. Now, on towards the light! Soon, it'll all change and a new beginning will arise. But anyhow, it has been one heck of a road.

Whether I get what I want or not is another matter. Even if I ever wanted it so dearly, all I can hope for now is a miracle in life. Something, that I admit I have not seen for a while. Then again, I might see many miracles happening around me already, not knowing it... or perhaps, neglecting it.

I have always wondered why my life is this way. To be honest, even if I can say others are pessimistic, it still does not take away the fact that I have a doubtful, somewhat pessimistic thinking as well. Even what I say on this little spot contradicts what I have previously thought. I guess, this is the art of learning. Perhaps, after all those negative thoughts, you finally realise that what you keep thinking of is futile. It is practically useless to keep thinking that life is going against you.

True, you can't deny the fact that life sometimes feels like waves of tsunami smacking your very soul. I certainly felt that way some time last year. It feels really bad, I admit. For someone who has faced very little difficulties, sometimes, the smallest of obstacles can prove to be a great one to jump over. Not obstacles like Chemistry that some face, but obstacles like attachments and life in general. Rejection is simply something you may not fancy in that particular time. But hey, immaturity got the best of me I'm afraid.

Life is like a living hell? Yeah, this is probably on everyone's mind at times. You probably find life to have no meaning. The more you think of it, the more disappointed and saddened you become of how your life is. You look at the people around you and wonder why you can not be like them or have what they have. You see people having what you can't have, and keep dreaming on, only to let the dream disappoint you time and time again. It is then that you feel depressed. Doesn't everyone go through this?

But if you think of it again, if everyone goes through this, wouldn't it make sense that we are all envying one another. When this happens, wouldn't it just indicate that we are just fools who only know how to appreciate what we don't have. Why don't we just appreciate what we have and make the most out of it? Easier said than done, especially even when you don't want to think that way, you just can't help it.

How we wished life was just filled with miracles. Everyday, why won't there be a world where everyone suddenly become billionaires. Why won't there be a world without broken hearts? Why won't everyone get what they want! But if you look at it, THE WORLD IS THAT WAY. If you take a look at relationship, if A and B likes C, there is bound to be a problem. If both of them gets what they want, would you mind if we cut C in half? Either way, there is bound to be a broken heart.

In fact, miracles do happen everyday. Everyday in life, you see couples come together, cancer survivors, near escapes etc. Doesn't it strike you that you see a miracle every time you watch the news? If you learn how to appreciate what happens in your life, you would also realise that miracles happen everyday in your own life! It's just that we are too ignorant or fortunate to realise the very fortunes we have.

Perhaps something would show how life is to be appreciated. How miracles can happen anywhere when destined to. Today, a mother let go of her pram with her baby in order to pull up her pants. In the process, the pram starts to move right down into the railway track right in front of the mother. The mother watched as the baby and the pram fall onto the railway track as a train steamrolls past the station. The mother lunged at her infant, desperate to save the precious baby......... It was not enough...... Thankfully, the emergency brakes were used. However, the train already ran over the tram with the baby.......................... Sad now? Here'some prove for you. Observe the pram and the train passing by.

BUT WAIT! THE BABY WAS SAFE! How?! I don't think Mr. Universe can survive a train running over him. How can a baby survive? In fact, the baby only sustained a small bump on his head? How can the softest and weakest of skin muscles survive such a large force? I got one word for ya - MIRACLE!

Besides, if you think of it, how we ever came to exist is a miracle itself.... Hence, don't feel so bad about life, the thought might just be the very object that eats it up instead. Be strong, be positive!

Where U At

My message to MBBS degree (LOL, I'm not joking)

Well, check out the translations if you don't believe me ;). Anyhow, I bet Sau Fei would love this song too haha. Thought I'd put a song for all of you who are disturbed/depressed/busy/exam-ing/studying/emoing people these days. Time to take a breather from all that crap. Listen to a nice song after a crappy day like how I told my interviewer I'd do it. Life is not meant to be dull, but enjoyed to its fullest. Feel the love!

Take it away, Taeyang-shi!

Goodbye

2009-10-14T05:57:00.003+08:00

From the UoA computer suite:

If you are thinking that I am leaving this blog to rot, you are one crazy hag. Just a title to scare some. Then again, it seems like a very appropriate title for what I am about to say.

If some of you might be aware, I'd probably be moaning about bad interviews. Well, it is true. Nervousness got to my head I'm afraid. The once control and preparation I had was all gone in front of what was to be my Biology lecturer, who looked friendly yet sometimes a bit uninterested. You would know that I really have doubts on a lot of things. That glimpse of his disinterest just caught my attention, probably affecting how I was to perform. You can't help it. When you are blabbing tons of stuff out which is not crap but full of logical points, you would surely feel weird when the interviewer does not give any reply or makes a rather "no-effect" face. I guess it is safe to say that my lecturer has darn good acting skills to intimidate the ones he interviews, hah? Maybe XD.

Well, of course, the usual messing up with words and having your tongue tied continued to wreak havoc onto my interview replies. It kind of sucks to know that after all those interviews, I still get the same feeling every time - "Saying something then regretting that I said it too soon, making me mess up my points." Yeah, I think it was evident a few times, which could have made him have the thought that I prepared the entire thing which was supposedly unprepared.

Anyhow, what's done is done. After one day of complaining, I think it's safe to say that I have expressed every discontent I had towards my interview and come back to the highway again. Not confident as after I did my PQA. This was a totally different feeling. It was a normal interview which I personally screwed up. All I have to blame is myself, and then move on with life. You know, even if I don't get this, there's always an alternative route to it.

I should know. I've been through it. If you want to talk in the point of university acceptances, I bet no one other than perhaps JR (He applies too many, his fault :P) would understand how rejection has become a very normal process in my life. In April, almost all but one rejected me. In June, more came. Furthermore, I get official rejection letters from places like Harvard. Hey! I GOT A HARVARD LETTER, AIN'T THAT COOL?

Maybe not. But the point is, even if a girl supposedly dumps you, you think you won't have another girl who is equally as attractive whether outside or in that doesn't want you. Think about it. With all your heart, you can do everything *ripped of With All Your Heart by plusOne*. Even if an earthquake strikes Vanuatu, it didn't strike Fiji.... well in geological terms, yet. But anyhow, life is just like that. Whenever you fail, you mourn and cry over spilt milk. Sour grapes. After that, you naturally find it the norm. Like recently in Psychology, I learned that the change in happiness is short-lived. Even if you win the lottery, wouldn't you be happier for what, 2 years? After that, you tend to be as happy as before.

Same goes for sadness. Mourn about it, smash yourself for it. What you are doing is wasting your ATP that your body so dearly needs. Think over it and correct yourself. Improve yourself. If life were simply just about winning, who is going to lose? Someone is bound to. It might seem dark at a point. But hey, find another way towards the light. Perhaps, because of rejection, you can find something better in your life! Certainly what I got. Why not try it?

Remember, sometimes goodbye IS a second chance! :)

I Had A Bad Day

2009-10-02T22:52:00.006+08:00

Nothing is perfect. I guess it has just been justified hah? At one moment, you thought finally you have finished everything there is to do and have a really good day. At another moment, things just never go your way no matter how much you want it to be your way. Sometimes, it's just not your fault but because of others, you have to take the pain and disappointment. Yet, sometimes, everything seems mixed and all jumbled up.

Things like this happen. The day I just went through was just indescribable. Some things were done was just not my fault. Everything was because of someone else's mistake. Although I hate to say that the mistake repeated itself in a matter of days, it still happens. And with this mistake that affected you, it makes your entire mood for the day change. Everything that you don't desire just flows right into your life.

They say a bad mood and mindset ultimately make you encounter negative happenings. I never believed it. I thought as long as you tried to make it better, you can change destiny. True that a bad mood can lead to this, but sometimes, it's just luck. Why do some people start the day sad and yet end up with so much fortunes? Sometimes, they don't have positive mindsets like I do as well. And yet, everything comes to them. It's luck for me.

But what's true about that statement is that a bad mood leads you to a bad day. Contradicting? Let me explain. Think of it like lava from a volcano *sorry I can't think of anything less violent after today's happenings*. It starts off at the peak, and then slowly flows down. The more common illustration are of basaltic lavas *pardon me for Geology terms*. They branch as they travel down the slope of the volcano. What started off on top ultimately branches off to the bottom and causes the rest of it to happen. The lava flows from the start to the end.

Well, using this simple illustration, put it into real life. Start the day with a bad mood.... and you do things with little mood. Every time someone just had a disappointing occurrence, they wouldn't have the feeling to do anything else. It's natural. I wouldn't say that the bad mood aura attracts more negative things. It just simply causes it. When you have a bad mood, you do the next stuff with a bad mood. And when those end up not satisfactory, you get an even worse mood. With this mood, blah blah blah. You get the picture. Ultimately, I guess it depends on how you control your mood.

Pain and disappointment are self-imposed. FALSE. They are definitely not always so. When someone else is at fault, you are sometimes the victim of it. However, it's these little things that lead to further mishaps. Like today. I started with a bad mood, leading me to forget a document, leading me to waste more cash AND leading me to waste my time. And because my bad mood made me forget another thing, it cost me even more time! That sucks right? Yeah, even the shopkeeper saw it.

How to deal with this? EQ! Yes. I admit I have low EQ. But well, my recovery and realisation rate is super high, I dare say. Upon suffering pain, I usually panic, as most know me. After the loss, I usually go back to the "no feel" state. Sometimes, it's because the emotions get the best of your logic. If you let your logic take you through it, sometimes, you would see that it isn't so bad after all. You'd start to realise that, it's just another one of those days. Get over it like how you get over every challenge. Even if luck is against you, GO AGAINST IT! Fight it! It takes a true warrior to survive a battle! Nothing stopped men of Sparta from victories in the past. Although they soon succumbed, they still had victories and triumphed against the invaders. Even with the challenges ahead, WE CAN STILL DO IT!

And oh, thought I should include something for this instead of plain text. Sorry if I wasted your time reading my rants haha. Something familiar to refresh your minds :)

Message of the Day :

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Go for the ride. At the end of it, there comes the light :)

Patience is virtue

2009-09-30T21:16:00.003+08:00

Sorry for all the commotion, but well, needed some place to express it. Sometimes, things just don't go your way. You know it is always wrong the way those things go, but on purpose, it would try to escape from sense.

Then again, if life had made sense from the beginning, nothing would have been achieved by the human race. True that Qin Shi Huang never thought of sense when sacrificing all he had to build what is to be the world's longest structure. If he had made sense, perhaps the whole territory of China might be in the hands of Mongols for a long time. Who'd knew? Till now, people still deem it as an act of murder when in truth, it was a saviour to many.

As if the world itself made sense. How on earth would you imagine flying clumps dust coming together to form the core and then slowly forming the many layers which eventually make the Earth how it is today? Does that make any sense? If I use the dustbunnies under everyone's seat and compressed it with a machine, would it make me a mini-earth? Sounds illogical right? Yet, it is one of the most convincing and proven ways of planet formations.

The world makes little sense. Keep that in mind. Sometimes, it's these illogical methods which eventually makes what we call sense in the first place.

Patience is virtue as the title says. Well, true. Sometimes, even if it is totally non-sense, it is wise to tolerate it. Little things should be put aside and left to rest. Mistakes happen in life. It's better to show an act of friendliness than cast others aside over a small matter. After all, it's working together that brings any group success.

Making more friends is better than making enemies, that I know for a fact.

Message of the day : Friends have no value. It is impossible to put any price tag on friendships since it's one of life's many existence factors. Appreciate your friends, make new friends, learn to be a people's person. Be patient with mistakes and mishaps, sometimes it is this attitude that make them respect you. Just look at Obama ;). Why not learn from that?

And oh, keep sense and logic out of the way please? Life is not an operable machine. It takes creativity and sensitivity.

The magnificence of life.

2009-09-11T16:30:00.005+08:00

A little update on how it's been so far. Well, getting hang of university life is not something you can do within the glimpse of an eye. But it takes a while to get familiar to your surroundings. Where to go, what to eat, what to do, who to go to are all the normal questions you'd ask when you first arrive somewhere. Even though I've come to this place a few times already, it's still relatively new to me. Like people say, staying some place is a whole lot different to going some place for a holiday. This certainly proved it to me.

So far, uni life has been great. Made a few friends and acquaintances. Pretty nice people I'd have to say. Although I haven't actually made any close Malaysian friends *=P*, no matter. I've met lots of people from various backgrounds and origins. Got a few local friends, few from China, few from Malaysia etc. All is well in the SA town is what I would say for now. Though, I can tell you that I've been quite a Yon-Hon minus the epic cleverness in the university :P........ Of course, you'd expect me to talk whenever I'm talked to and start a conversation when the time is right. But I've kept my distance haha....

Well, you can argue that I did not achieve my mission of becoming a socializing freak that I boasted about before I went, but certainly, just want to create a good base come January... when my actual intake happens. Haha..... never told anyone here yet... except maybe TS XD.

Anyhow, life has not been not brilliant for a while. It's actually kind of relaxing, being in a place like this. I must say that as much as I miss some hectic environment, I feel a lot better being here. Though, the days pass by really quickly for some reason. Unlike the past few years, this has been one of the quickest years I've been through for a while. But hey, all of this is worthwhile.

"Life is dull." I bet this statement would come to an end when you feel the way I'm feeling right now. At the moment, I feel a lot like an ant in the Amazon jungle, being a tiny fraction of what's to be the entire world. Coming here for the past two months meant a lot. It was what I expected and yet it seemed a hundred fold more. All those talk about the place being silent and absolutely boring by peers..... well, let's just say they were extinguished in the blink of an eye. A brand new horizon looks upon my life and I can't help but feel woeful yet intrigued about its emergence. It was only for the past few weeks that I realised, "Hey! Who said we're only stuck to one course?" Life is absolute. It's just a matter about how you depict it and experience it throughout your journey.

You can never expect anything to go Boom! Boom! Pow! and appear right in front of your eyes. You need patience and resilience. You can say that it is a fact that I had doubts coming to the place I currently set foot on every time I wake up from bed. You can say that I aspired to go to the land where I once come from. You can say that I had a bigger desire to do things dubbed better than what I was going to do now. Yet, all these claims were only left into the garbage after an air trip two months ago.

To all who feel that the world is only confined to two peninsulas with a multicultural composition, I would say I am sorry to disappoint you. Few months ago, if you asked me if it would be any difference if you were to go out of that box, I'd tell you of course...... though, with not a single proof of it. Sure, I might have travelled to many places, but nothing beats the feeling of actually being there and doing that. I guess that's where "been there done that" came from, hah? You'd ask me, "Why don't I just go to IMU or Taylor's for a simple degree and then work my way overseas.... later in life?" or "I want to study and live in Malaysia." Something I'd tell you would seem like "When you go overseas, you get experience, more recognition and more opportunity." Somehow, I have to admit concrete proof was what I lacked. I thought to myself when answering that it was true that there was nothing really much of a difference, even when my mouth was saying something else. I had a strong belief though, that kept burning throughout.

Finally, however, I can say that what I argued about and tried to point out to each of you is still the case for me now, if not having a stronger argument. What you get out of the country is a whole new different world. You can never deny that Malaysia is your safety pillow, some place where you are sure that you are going to have a good and enjoyable life ahead. But, isn't life all about taking risks? When you offer someone your hand, it's taking a risk. When you sit on a cable car to Genting Highlands, it's taking a risk. Even when you are driving a car, it is still taking a risk. If you don't take a risk in life, you will never get anything out of it. Pessimists exist throughout the world. Why? I would say that they had never experienced the beauty of life enough.

I'd like to say what WY said was absolutely right. He'd rather go to a new place like North Dakota than some place similar. I can say that he would be having more fun than I am. But still, something I would like to say to him is, no. He was right in the sense that the environment is the same. But still, even with the many similar conditions, the world is much different from what I experience back then. Even if you have a lot of Malaysian friends in a place, the things you experience in that place is a whole lot different, if you actually want it to be. Take my cousin for an example, he has already been here for 3 years. No doubt, he would have a lot of Malaysian friends and he does. However, I can bet that he has already experienced a whole lot more than what some people here have experienced. It's all about enjoying life and maximising what you do to the fullest. You can have that much similarity and yet, it's that little difference that could make you unleash your inner self and experience what's around here for you in a whole new different way.

I guess I'm being a little repititive, but all I'd like to advise to all of you out there still working your way to university is that, do what you got to do. If you do well, then opportunities will come. And when they do, grab them with the quickest motion. If you ever get a chance to go overseas, never hesitate to do so. Even if it's to a little town in South Australia, or some place far north in the middle of the United States, life has not given you a better chance! Who cares about the weather, the possibility of not knowing anyone or even the possibility of not having games to play! It is these sacrifices that you have to make in order to achieve what you want to achieve. It is only with these sacrifices that you can finally experience what is meant by life.

Isn't this what this blog is supposed to be about? "Looking through the window to life and its wonders." I guess what I thought would be a nice theme has certainly become an effective motto for me in life. There is a saying that opportunity only knocks once. Yes it does. But do you know how many opportunities come knocking on your door? Millions and billions! I could write a whole essay on this. Problems always arise out of opportunities. That comes with the whole package, doesn't it? Where there is profit, there is always a loss. Newton even came up with to every reaction there is an opposite and equal reaction. Financial issues, social issues.... those are just problems that hinder you from doing what you are destined to do. And sometimes, these problems make the profit you get seem so small when in fact, it is bigger than ever.

You can say that financial status is a problem. Hey, I can just about write a 1000 word essay to prove you wrong. Take WY for an example. What I admire about him is his ability to take such a risk. Even if it's going to NDSU which is virtually unknown and is in a very secluded part of the United States, it is to me, one of the best decisions I have seen anyone make. I even sometimes bite myself for not doing it, out of fear and out of greed. Yes, fear and greed. But at the end of the day, he can say that he has been to the United States. I am sure his perspective towards life is even more sophisticated than mine come three years later. In fact, a lot of people do this already. Take a look at the people around us, I can see at least 5 taking this step towards the wilderness. If you even come out with an excuse that you do not have enough money, take a look at the cost of it. In fact, it is about the same as what you would get in Malaysia itself. If it was because of parents of course, I can't argue much.

However, the point is, there are many ways for one to experience this. It's all about searching and seeking these opportunities. If opportunities were said to knock on one's door, I'd say that opportunities would never knock on one's door if you never even make an effort to seek them. Take these opportunities in life and make a giant leap forward. Take these risks and prepare for a great future ahead! Experience life to its greatest extent before you can say that you regret not doing so. I hope this message goes across your thoughts. Hopefully, you can get to experience what I experience right now in the near future. And all the best in life!

Happy Birthday GD!

2009-08-18T20:55:00.002+08:00

R.I.P MJ

2009-06-26T12:50:00.005+08:00

Another average day?.... Well, it wasn't. Hyped up by the prospect of Transformers 2, it was supposed to be a very exciting day ahead. I guess nothing can be perfect, hah? Not even a day.

Well, it isn't common that I would wake up at around 6 when I had gone to sleep at 2 in the morning. Usually, it'd be at around noon when I would be up and getting ready for a brunch. But no, something got me up. It was a text message. Haha, how weird. Usually I'd just not realise it at all. Maybe I was aging I thought. After that, it was back to sleep for me.

Weird right? Perhaps it was really an indication given that friends have all had, supposedly, "signs" that something had happened. Well, when I finally did wake up, true enough, it was already 11 and lunch was ready. As I switched on the TV, my mum told me the shocking story. Couldn't believe it at first but when I switched on CNN, the whole tragedy shocked me. It has really happened. The King Of Pop, has really passed away.

Ironically, it happened 5 hours ago, about the time I had that sudden awakening. Coincidence? Well, let's just say that perhaps this has shook even the heavens above enough to awake everyone at that very moment in time.

Of course, it came as a big shock, seeing how his life was that he would go through almost everything, even hell and that back again if he already hasn't. For a gem like MJ, it seemed that he would be with us forever. But in truth, even if he was a legendary king, he was nonetheless, a human.

Towards the end of his life, he really suffered through many challenges and obstacles that has sometimes left him tired and deflated. To me, it was kind of unfair for a person who has done so much to the world to be treated this way in recent years. Sitting down on the couch watching MJ's tribute was a real eye opener. It made me realise how important he was to the whole universe. Being a fan of his music for years now, this has really been like a dagger through the heart. Haha, I actually shed a few drops of tears while I reminisce what he has brought to us in this era.

Nevertheless, his legacy will live on forever. What he has done to the world, putting aside from all that controversies which by the way now people say were untrue, will always be remembered and treasured in the hearts of all of us forever. As some people say, we are only remembered and appreciated when we are lost. How true. As for me, I'll continue to play this tiny album I got from Teddy just 2 days ago for the whole day. Michael Jackson's Greatest Hits : HIStory.

Rest In Peace Michael Jackson! We will always love you!

My Wife Must Be Pretty

2009-05-27T18:25:00.004+08:00

Today on Star...

Telling your wife she's not pretty may soon be an offence

By MUGUNTAN VANAR
KOTA KINABALU: A husband telling his wife that she is no longer pretty in an attempt to humiliate her can be classified as an emotional violence offence if amendments are made to the Domestic Violence Act (DVA)1994.

The plan is to amend the DVA for the inclusion of a clause on emotional violence against women.

Currently, they are only protected only against physical abuse, Women's Development Department director-general Datuk Dr Noorul Ainur Mohd Nur said.

She said on Wednesday that the aim for proposing the amendment was to safeguard women both physically and emotionally.

Dr Noorul said emotional violence was a form of abuse that would deeply scar a woman and lower their self-esteem, dignity and self-confidence.

“It could be a case where her husband tells his wife she is ugly or humiliates her until she feels emotionally pressured,” she told reporters at the end of a seminar on how to curb violence against women at Wisma Wanita here.

She added they were in the process of bringing the proposed amendments to Parliament.

State Community development and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun closed the seminar organised by Sabah Women’s Affairs Department.

Azizah, in her speech, said that there was a need for the law to protect emotional violence against women.

Azizah said there were a total of 99 cases of violence against women in Sabah in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 220 cases during the same period last year which was reported to the police.

This place is officially..... GG. God, next time, looks does matter. My advice, choose your wife wisely.

Oh, and I'm looking forward to that final tonight! =D

Keyboard And Kittens

2009-05-08T00:26:00.007+08:00

Well, something I saw on CNN about a buzz on YouTube. Basically something about terrible incidents happening which could be quite serious but yet if you look at it in another way, you may find it kind of hilarious. Well, at least the kitten makes you think that way. Haha. In conclusion? KEYBOARD KITTEN SAVES THE DAY! :D

You might argue that it eats the space of my blog and does not fit my current layout. But who cares when you got the flamboyant kitten out on its keys =P. Completely worth it I tell you even though some people might find it pretty lame and boring. Your taste I guess XD. Well, let's just let the Keyboard Kitten save this blog post and play it off, shall we? XD Kitty to the rescue!!!!!!!!!!

LOL... Speechless :X Wonder why I am laughing at it....

You don't want to know :X

Weekly Report

2009-05-06T17:45:00.005+08:00

Well, been quite a while since I officially blogged. Gah, maybe need to sweep some cyber dust here. Here goes!

X-Men Origins : Wolverine

Yeah, you gotta love X-Men. You gotta love Gambit. More importantly, the one who started it all, Wolfie, I guess. Went to watch it with a gang of friends *youknowwhoyouare*. I actually feel that this movie has more meaning and suspense to it than the original X-Men trilogy. More action throughout the movie compared to well, explanations and dialogues that are quite predictable or already known from the comic. Even if you haven't read the comic like me, remembering them from cartoons is pretty easy. However, how was life before X-Men? Consider me a little bit of an amateur in the X-Men, but I actually felt this was a brilliant movie to illustrate what was to come in the trilogy. Even though certain mutants had short spells or sudden unexplainable appearances like how Gambit only appears when Wolverine was about to be "crushed" by a wall at the end, it was a pretty good movie throughout. The story itself is what amazes me. Plenty of humor too. You don't see audiences laugh constantly in a superhero movie often eh? A little bit of sarcasm here and there. Great movie throughout and great cast too. Not entirely full of superstars but only some like Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds and will.i.am. Say what you like, it was a great movie and bound to be one of the best in 2009. Haha, okay, after all that, here's my rating.

8.5/10

____________________________________________________________________

Then, on the Saturday, guess what. I experienced my first computer failure on this computer I have for more than a year. Power supply failure. I guess some lizard crawled into it and managed to get itself zapped when I switched on the powa. Like Talon's little problem last time I suppose. Or it might have been something else. Not sure. But ah well, I did do a couple of trial and error attempts to find out the problem. It ended up on almost like, what... 5 times in which I got a blackout at home? Not sure. But I'm sure my parents got frustrated and annoyed >.<. Got it fixed on Monday and came back on the net again! Yay! Ah, what more? On this day, 06.05.09, another two great things occured. Yesh! Behold, take two!

One

Arsenal 1 - 3 Manchester United

Everyone's lovin' it. Haha. This would've made my day if not for the Fletcher sending off. Totally unfair when it was supposed to be an excellent legal tackle. Oh well.... Brilliant, nonetheless

Even Becks has to agree. Wait, why in the world did he come in to the dressing room when everyone was..... Nevermind...

Two
Oh well... Since it didn't make my day, I guess something else must. Presenting.....

2NE1 - FIRE

Aha! I almost forgot! Today is 2NE1's debut! Well, got to say this was highly anticipated, considering YG promised a big debut and they are supposedly like a female Big Bang. Listened to it once and boy am I addicted. More importantly, I'd like to salute them for not taking the cute, kawaii path like some of the female Korean groups have done. Haha, being bad girl totally owns the opposite of it! XD. Besides, there's also another badass street version available if you search on YouTube. Not the best song in the world but certainly a very addictive song I am looping right now. Better than most of the girl groups' debuts! Hah! *I am a little prejudice since I'm biased towards Big Bang* Space version! Love the outfits and setups! <3 What to do? Already got myself with 2NE1 flu. Ah well, I guess it's good that the Big Bang addiction can be stopped for some time, eh? XD. Made my day and week! Yesh!

____________________________________________________________________

A little short update here but well, hopefully I can get more materials! Till the next time, mates!

The air filled with the scent of sugar. Even the very olfactory buds of my very nasal cavity could sense the change in its concentration, multiplying by multiples you can't even imagine every nanosecond of the day. Reminds me of Flo-Rida's sugar.... Sigh....

Today, the DFD were on a mission. For.......

Object 1 of disaster, THE NIKE SHOES. At 11.30 a.m. GMT +8 time, a certain chilled brandy headed out to the Bay of the Queen in search of the first ingredient of this epic, disastrous cauldron of doom. Despite all the hustle and rush for time, it seemed that time was irrelevant. After scouring the various stalls and stands, it finally came down to a certain JUSCO where the ingredient would be perfect for its value, for the brandy, that is. Smartly, Math came into the board game and off he went with his formulas and theorems, as seen below :

Every 100 dollars, 20 dollar rebate.
Nike Shoe A : 209 dollars 0 cents.
Adidas Shoe B : 199 dollars 0 cents.

Figure out that mystery question and you shall win the answer of the first ingredient to the magical DFD cauldron!

Why did it have something to do with the DFD cauldron? I mean, shoes and cauldron? What the heck is the relation of those two? Surely you don't want to drink a magical potion made of rubber! Ah! But this was to lead to the next event!

The Broken Shandy and the Gold of "Unbrokenness"!

Short and simple. The now broken brandy has now a new pair of shoes. To what? To have an excuse to withdraw his dedicated payroll earned from the scroll center that has borders everywhere around its stall. Still untouched, it laid beautifully on the safety vault in the storage. However, everything comes to an end. At the end, the broken brandy had no choice but to withdraw his gold of "unbrokenness" in order to join the journey of those who are destined for DIABETES!

Tribal Council and the Big Red Monster?!

Sadly, it wasn't a case of elimination at tribal council. More of a meeting of some sort. But as the chosen ones got to the venue, gallons of water started pouring onto the ground beneath their very vehicles. It was almost certain that they were destined to not approach the "Laksa Of Longkang" (LOL) to start the journey towards their destiny. Instead, fate has led them towards the secret of Rat Island. After minutes of travelling, they have finally reached their destiny!!!!!!!

Behold! The Big Red Noodles! *otherwise known as Mee Goreng*

These tasty noodles are made of well, flour which contributes to over 60 percent of the above dish! This Indian delicacy, consisting of none other than beancurd, potatoes, veges and the ever so secret ingredient, SQUID!, became the catalyst in an effort to quench their thirst for food. Simply unforgettable. A renowned marvel in its territory. A little spicy but not too much. Thankfully, no wasabi added as we already have enough greens in the form of vegetables!Just right for hungry hearts like these men. You can see it from the picture! Ain't those noodles look big, red and tasty?! Judge by yourself. For that, it rates 7 point 3 on the rate-o-meter!

The Legend of the Green Worms

Next on their quest, is the legend of the green invertebrates! These worms thrive in icy conditions, preferably in milk and brown sugar, while enjoying the red beans growing all around it. Don't believe me? OBSERVE!

*Chendol*

As described, these green objects, also known as Grass Jelly, together with red beans in a bowl of brown sugary and milky cauldron to form what we known as Chendol in the picture shown above. Ah, even Collins of India has labelled it as the most satisfying legendary food that the tale of the Pearl of the Orient has to offer. It has a sweet taste which is the perfect dessert after a heavy meal. The combination of brown sugar, coconut milk and red bean enhances its sweetness, giving a very delightful taste for consumers. Aside from that, seeing as the rain had fled from the sky, a chill from the shaved ice is the way to lighten the effects of the blaze of the Sun. Simply satisfying. My 6th time this year at the stall. A fair 8.0 out of 10 for it. No questions asked!

Here's a look at the stall just in case any of you gets lost finding it!

Even the P.C.K. family agrees. No questions asked! =D

Coco-Nuts Over Jelly?

Our third stop of this expedition brings us towards Dato' Keramat where the coconut haven is found. Being relatively unknown to all of them, we set out on a journey to discover this new prospect in our chase towards the ultimate dessert. Let's see, behold, COCONUTS!

Well, not exactly coconuts. Coconuts in a fridge I would say. If you look at the picture in great detail, you will notice that these coconuts in a fridge were not mere coconuts. They were.....!!!!

Tadaa! The first jello to emerge out of the husk courtesy of the now unbroken Brandy! I shall name it........ Flubber 2?!

Well, this is exactly what 3 dollars and 70 cents looks like. Coconut with white flesh around it. Boy does this attract a carnivore like me! But what is so special about this coconut which really makes it so expensive? Let's see it once again!

Yeah, you got it. The flubber! Unlike Robin Williams, this was actually made by :

According to Mr Joez the proprietor, these coconut are grown in Perak and are of the pandan species. To form the jelly, the outer husk of the coconut is initially removed and then roasted in the oven. After a cooling period, they are then placed in the cooler room. During this period, jelly will be formed…definitely a new innovation. He assured us that no additive or artificial chemical is added. The jelly is formed through the hot and cold process.

Thanks to What2See : Best of Penang Food (CK Lam) for the information and various other sites who confirmed it as well.

As the tag said "100% asli", it is kind of innovative how Mr. Joez had come across this idea. However, our Collins still believes its powder. Suit himself. Better still, if it's powder, more diabetes for us! :D. But truly this is one of a kind. You rarely see things like this around in this whole wide world. Flubber 2, unlike its ancestor, is a lot softer, less sticky and certainly edible to men. It has a coconut juice taste to it since it was coconut juice after all. Eating it along with its flesh makes it fairly enjoyable. I must say there might be nothing so special about this, but certainly an exposure that proved to be satisfying for people like us who have found out about this for the first time. I shall give it a 6.8 out of 10!

Oh, and what about Coco being nuts? Well, apparently a certain self-proclaimed Admiral/Coco *You know who you are!* went lost 2 times into the unknown depths of Sungai Pinang and came back with another unidentified being instead *no offense :X*. Instead of being grateful to the one who could not finish it *another you know you are*, he went nuts over it and kept refusing to eat it. Sigh. Such a pity. I guess Admirals already have their own Coco "nuts" to savour, hah?

____________________________________________________________________

To recap the story above. Basically, we went to three great places before the people gave up due to full stomachs. I hope it was hugely satisfactory. If any of the above places seriously inhaled profusely for you guys, then sorry. But anyhow, I certainly enjoyed the whole journey and not just the food.

Okay, I'll stop being so formal. Ah, another success in my food discovery! Destined For Diabetes shall continue with more sugar and fat intake as we return next time on Part Dos! Enjoy! :D

And yes, I know this is a corny post >_<, but w/e xP

End

Special Thanks to Jimmy, Collins, James, Sheng and Soony for coming! =D

Food For Thought

2009-04-23T20:09:00.008+08:00

Rawr, food fiesta! Who said I was done with roasted pork and board noodles. This Penang Food Expedition is brought to you by J.Y.!

Headlines : The Safe Lane (not food)

Welcome to Lorong Selamat aka Safe Lane, Penang. I, J.Y., am proud to present to you my experience upon entering this lane of dangerlessness......

Okay, enough of the formality. Welcome to Lorong Selamat, Penang, home to some of the most famous food on Penang Island! Yippee!

Day 1 (1st Attempt)

Well, to be honest, it wasn't really the day I really planned for. Actually wanted to try out the famous Char Koay Teow at Lorong Selamat, probably the most expensive and famous one in the entire Penang Island. You got that right! One plate was heard to be at least 6 dollars. Eating gold? Well, maybe platinum. No matter, it was still some expensive stuff. You think? Upon arrival, THE SHOP IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED!

Well, maybe not. Just for Tuesdays. So much for wasting petrol to come. You should really come watch us go clueless while standing and wandering arond the place after we parked. Big letdown. At least, for the returning Jia Rong. Sadly, it was a no show from the Fried Koay Teow shop. I guess they had too much money in their pockets eh?

Ah well.. going on with our story, the 4 of us (Sheng, Soony, JR and I) decided to instead go to the corner shop at Lorong Selamat. Well, for my parents, this is the shop they go to during weekends if we cannot think of anything to eat. What's there? If you've heard of Fried Oyster at Lorong Selamat, this is where we were heading to.

Ah and again, sadly, no Fried Oyster show too..... So what did we have?

Fried Hor Fun! Woots! Well, it actually isn't that bad. It is actually quite famous among Penangites as well. Just ask for Lorong Selamat Sar Hor Fun. I didn't know they were open during the afternoons too. Kind of lucky to actually be able to eat this dish. Well, this was for 3 people as I was starving after my exercise. JR and I shared this plate. It's quite good. Maybe you'd argue it's quite normal. But, well, for a shop which is quite renowned, at least it lives up to its potential. May not have a very unique taste like having some super rare ingredient, but tastes real good. Enjoyed my lunchies! 7.2 outta 10!

Next, we go to ze ShandSoon's food. They apparently had some disgust towards Fried Hor Fun. Probably because the shop was not busy at that time and they thought it was just a regular coffee shop. Haha, just to tell you, this shop is always full during weekends :X. They had the Wan Tan Mee. I didn't quite get their reaction for the noodles. We didn't talk about it. But from my experience, I can tell you that it's quite different from the regular Tok Tok Mee aka Wan Tan Noodles. The main attraction is their Wan Tan, or well, shrimp dumplings. Costs about 50 cents per dumpling if you buy them separately I think. It's a round dumpling and I think, is tastier than normal dumplings. More meat inside I guess, and softer. The noodles itself is quite nice. It's more of a slippery, sticky type. Forgive me about my descriptions. Been a long time since I had this dish. I rate it 7.4 out of 10!

Ah, after that we went to visit New World Park for a little while. Incidently, it was right at the other end of the Safe Lane. Had to walk all the way just to visit Mr. Chong Eng and Collins. Ah well, got to see them. No pictures though, sadly. Incidently, it was my second outing in a day at New World Park. You see, while I was waiting for the slowpokes to arrive *=P*, smartly decided to go enjoy a little appetizer before my lunch...

Behold! The mighty Ice Kacang!!!! Well, maybe you won't call it an appetizer. More like a dessetizer? Ah, suit yourself. Anyway, I had mine with less sweetness. What do I mean? Well, you see, the regular Ice Kacang is one purplish nut.... well, not literally. But well, there's more purple syrup used to give a certain sweetness to it. Somehow, it's more like a sour Sarsi kind of sweet. I don't really like it. Sue me. Hence, I ordered one which suited my taste. Here at the New World Park Ice Kacang Stall, you get to add many things, like fruits and even ice cream. Well, most stalls have that. But anyhow, just telling those who haven't tasted Ice Kacang a bit of a sneak peak on how nice this dessert is.

I ordered Ice Kacang with Banana as well as with extra Corn. Yeah, it actually tastes really good. Think of it as a sweet dessert with lots of ingredients on top of a ball of shaved ice. A must try if you come to Penang. After all, this is the famous Swatow Lane Ice Kacang which was moved inside a better facility or otherwise known as New World Park. Perfecto dessetizer! 8.2 out of 10!

And that's the end of Day 1. Sad outing eh?

Day 2! (Attempt 2)
Rawr! Now, sadly, I am all on my own, hunting for food to eat. Before I knew it, I kind of circled the entire town area. Couldn't really decide on what to eat. Yes yes, I know you all will shoot me for wasting petrol. Oh well, me and my indecisions. But thankfully, the Safe Lane has saved me again!

Behold..........

Tadaa! Heng Huat Cafe!!!! Home of...... Hmm, hold on, a picture speaks a thousand words right? In this case, I'll let it speak three words since I am stingy =P

Char Koay Teow! Why thank you, picture! Ah, yesh! Success! After two attempts, I have finally succeeded in hunting for probably the most famous Fried Koay Teow! Yesh! *victory dance*

Ah, as you can see, the prices are pretty crazy. The cheapest is 6 dollars.... which is double the normal price of the regular Char Koay Teow. Well, why so? Observe!

Yarrr! Presenting, the Lorong Selamat Char Koay Teow! Yeah, this small plate = RM6.50. Expensive hah? Well, it is quite good. Maybe not really worth that. From the way you see it, the only noticable feature is the "huge" prawns on the Koay Teow. Yep, those are quite common, relatively bigger than the usual ones used for Char Koay Teow though. For that, the price is doubled. Haha, amazing how people here are businessmen eh? But of course, it does have to meet its high standard and from my view, that Char Koay Teow did. Well, maybe it was the prawn. The Koay Teow was fried well, no doubt. But the things that stand out are the prawns. You know, it felt fresh cause if you actually tasted it, the meat is quite well... not too sure how to describe it, but certainly not overnight stuff for sure. Give it a 7.8 out of 10! :D

Another closer look at the mighty prawns! xP

Ah, last but not least, the drink. Well, I don't know why I am actually talking about it but well, it was chrysanthemum tea. I ordered Herbal Tea though. Oh well. It isn't special. It isn't unique. IT IS JUST TEA................................ which costs RM1.60 >.>..... Yeah, amazing hah. I should've just ordered Orange Juice. Then again, it might cost 5 bugs? Rated... 5 out of 10! *evilfaceafterrevenge*

After finishing my "gold" tea, it's time to let this Lorong Selamat expedition come to an end. Home!

____________________________________________________________________

Haha, disappointing conclusion, ain't it? Well, maybe so. Even though my blogging is quite well, inhaling profusely, I guess the whole experience was great. Not to mention the nice food. Haha.... Till the next time!

..Yummy.. ain't that all satisfying... XD

Birthday just passed few days ago. Was a great one to say the least. Yep. I had a spanking day thanks to all of you! Thanks to all who wished me Happy Birthday =D. Haha, will post up pictures soon. Haha

Hmm... as you all might have noticed, I have recently been blank on the Music Jukebox section I am supposed to update daily except Saturday. Somehow, I ran out of inspiration to continue. Well, maybe my music interest is diminishing? Well not really, it's still driving my day around. Haha, just not able to type in lots of reviews nowadays I guess. Been kind of busy with errands and stuff.

No matter, though, here's some of the music I have a crush on right now. Observe!

Yesh, the whole album. Looping it all the time. Awesome eh? Kind of in love with the Remember album in particular. Though, still looping my daily dose of Haru Haru. It's like drugs I guess XD.

Here's a sample of the music I am seriously stuck with......*this is just the intro of the album*

Big Bang - Everybody Scream

Love the suits. Haha. I just love the beat and the whole sequencing thing. Very very nice.... for me that is =D. Such a nice intro to a phenomenal album! Don't see that in regular albums, do ya? =P Hmm, apologize for the oversized Youtube embed though.

____________________________________________________________________

Of course, it's not just Big Bang driving me nuts at this point. As some of you might know, I have recently immersed myself into............ S-H-O-J-O!

Seriously, I do not know where the interest came from. Maybe it's the Korean influence. But upon just knowing Kim Hyun Joong of SS501 acting in Boys Over Flowers, a Korean version of Hana Yori Dango, I just decided to watch an episode of it. And somehow, my head got stuck with it. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Or maybe it's the O.S.T. Well, you can say that as well since I'm pretty much hooked with a few songs in the soundtrack.

SS501 - Because I'm Stupid

SHINee - Stand By Me

SS501 - Making A Lover

They are pretty good songs. I kind of like the fact that this drama is a happier one than the other dramas I've seen before. The songs are pretty cheerful and refreshing too except for a few. All in all, just a great show!

Finally, the end of the list on my song addiction.

Of Roast Pork and Noodles

2009-04-13T15:12:00.003+08:00

Eat eat eat~! My current motto? Well, not really. Anyhow, been trying to make most of my meals special and unique ones instead of the usual stuff. Mainly lunch I guess. Guess what? Actually found some good spots to eat recently. One, being more of a duck rice kind of shop while another selling "board mee". Cool!

First outing was with Soony, Shandy, KS and Yon Hon to a shop at Chulia Street. It is not exactly a coffee shop but actually an old hotel sort of thing where the hotel is like gone now. So now, what do they do? DUCK RICE! Yeah. I'm serious. You have one famous duckrice/charsiew/roastedpork stall out there serving the hotel shop downstairs, along with the drink shop of course. Well, it starts at around 11.30a.m. and by 11.45, the shop is usually full and you would have to wait for seats! Ask Soony and he'll tell you everything =D So, we ordered a Char Siew & Siew Bak rice each and it comes with little veges as well. For RM3.50! Quite reasonable.

My plate of Char Siew & Siew Bak rice! Delicious!

Well, I actually had two plates of this. Actually, you could just order a plate in the middle filled with Roasted Pork, Char Siew as well as their special Chinese sausage thing *called Su Qiong* and share the whole plate. Then, order soup and a plate of veges as well. Pretty worth it. A lot of people come here for lunch, especially the working class. The shop is always full and this happens almost every day of the week. Cool, right?

The best part of it is actually the Char Siew, being the main attraction of the customers. It's somewhat of a different class from the others. Well, you might say it's not like some grand dish of some extremely prestigious restaurant, but among hawker stalls, this is actually very good. It's actually quite juicy on the oily parts and the meat is also quite soft. The Roasted Pork aka Siew Bak is just so so but it's a great side dish. I would recommend the Su Qiong instead of the duck as I doubt the duck is nice. The special sausage is different from the average Chinese sausage *Lap Qiong*, maybe like the Taiwanese sausage but softer? Ahha! Anyhow, I rate it 8 out of 10 as I'm a meat lover XD. Great meal any time of any day. One of the gems of Penang I suppose =P

Nutmeg!

Ah, my father actually told me that they sold this and asked me to try. Quite rare in Penang. Nutmeg plus the little sour plum inside. Pretty nice drink. Though it might be kind of sour/sweet, depending on your taste. Just right for me.

Then, today I went for this "board mee" (Pan Mee) opposite Chung Hwa after finding out about it from a Penang food blog this morning. Hence, I decided to go to the place after a few friends had some stuff to do =P. Guess what? It turned out great.

Yeah, you got it. Island PRK Restaurant! Haha, well, I guess they need maintainence. But it's right opposite Chung Hwa High School. Lots of students go there after lunch along with residents and others. Quite a lot of people just now. Well, there were supposedly a few others which are nice and quite popular. But I wanted to try different. So..........

Introducing..... Pan Mee!

Hooray! Decent meal I had *nods*. It's sort of like Koay Teow Th'ng but the homemade one is a bit sticky I guess. They had the Maggi mee type they made but I decided to take this. XD It's a bit harder than Koay Teow that's for sure. Maybe more taste than Koay Teow Th'ng? Ikan bilis, veges, minced meat along with some mushrooms. Well, there was soy sauce for extra flavor but I don't really take those hot green chilli. Ah, nothing but a decent meal. Oh, and along with that, comes my Winter Melon juice! *homemade* Pretty good. *loves sweet stuff* Ah well, another decent meal certainly worth its total of RM3.50! Budget lunches for the win! =D Oh. And I rate it 7 out of 10! Good choice if you want something soupy or a little normal, not too wild meal!

Yay! My first posts about food! Okay, I feel hungry now. *runs for more*

Rejection and the Opposite

2009-04-05T15:01:00.005+08:00

Haha. Congratulations to all of you who got the offers you dreamed of in the past week's U.S. university admission decisions! Particularly to Wiz on his UPenn offer! Yippee!! I have a friend in Ivy now! LOL.....

As for me, deep sighness. All rejection letters are bound for my home address. AHH!!!!!! Oh well, guess that's too bad hah? But it was quite an experience. At least it was from there that I discovered what I truly wanted to do in the future. Not bad hah? Besides, it wasn't all too bad. From that hectic period, I actually learned how to self praise in an essay. LOL. Aside from that, I got my Michigan offer too! Woohoo! And Michigan is supposedly a top 20 university in the WORLD. Not bad right? I'm happy that a university like that would want me in their class of 2013. Thank you!

Well, it's sad to say that if I do not have the right financial aid package, there's still no way that I'm going there. That is the case for UMich, sadly. However, hopefully there is a chance for me to obtain a better financial aid package when I submit tax returns. *prays* Aside from that, I also recently discovered that I am now admitted into the University of Toronto! Cool! Now I have another offer from one of the top universities in Canada! Hahahahaha!!!!

Anyhow, not going to boast. After all, I got rejetced by 9 universities. That's bad enough. Anyhow, I'll most probably be heading to Adelaide this July! =D

Well, aside from that, I guess DotA is getting somewhat boring... After all, 6.60 is not yet out. So why not try a little, as Wei Yang calls it, teamwork game. He claims Malaysians lack teamwork. LET'S PROVE HIM WRONG. Behold!!!! Custom Castle Defense!

Basically, you camp and defend then when you are strong enough, you go kill the enemy. Just a little snapshot from the game. I find it very cool..

Flying Orbs of Doom! Try to spot us both! Wait, oh my... What the hell are we doing there together =X

Look at how long we took! D:

All in all, it was a nice game where 4 others left =P. Something we're addicted to.

Just a status update. Haha. There goes my dream. The Princeton Undergraduate Dream. Too bad. I'll just have to find another way there. =D Anyway, for now, Aw-Seee??? You-S???? Can-a-ther? It's dilemma time!!! Help!!!! Ahhh

Rap is just AWESOME!

2009-04-03T00:01:00.004+08:00

Here's a video I'd like to share. Discovered it today. Really a good advertisement for KPop rap. Wonderful!

YARRR!!!!

Artists : Eun Ji Won, Epik High, Brown Eyed Girls, Dynamic Duo, Big Bang (G-Dragon & T.O.P).

Haha, I even lined them up according to the video. I really like the freestyle end. Ahh!!!!!! Perhaps the singing from Ga In wasn't exactly perfect, but still, the rest was da bomb! Even the audience of stars enjoyed it! *notes TaeYang and Jong Hyun from SHINee*

Addicted again. Help!!!............ X3 <3 X3.

LOL...

The San Diego Hoax

2009-04-02T09:08:00.010+08:00

This came out on the Yahoo! front page. Apparently, it happened to me as well. April Fools' joke of the year?

Oops! UCSD Sends Acceptance E-mail to Wrong List

University Fails Basic Math, Gives Rejectees Hope

By ERIC S. PAGE

UC San Diego -- a school for the smart ones, supposedly -- mistakenly congratulated nearly 29,000 applicants on their acceptance, according to university officials.

Earlier this month, about 17,000 students were offered admission for the fall, leaving nearly 29,000 hopefuls out in the cold.

But on Tuesday, the school's communications office said an e-mail was sent Monday afternoon to all 46,377 students who applied for admission -- including the 29,000 rejects -- welcoming them to the campus.

A half-hour later, school officials said, they realized their mistake. Almost two hours after the first note went out, a second e-mail was sent, apologizing to 28,889 freshmen applicants for the mistake.
"No member of this department is more acutely aware of the emotional roller-coaster that this could cause for our applicants," Assistant Vice Chancellor Mae Brown.
An anonymous parent told the Los Angeles Times it was a "colossal screw-up."

Similar incidents have happened at other schools -- including Cornell in the recent past, the paper reported -- but the UCSD incident was the biggest "screw-up."

Aha! Guess what? Check out my email!

Haha, check out the first email!
Click for a larger image! Yay!!! I was on top of the world when this happened. Until....

Dear Jia,

Within the last two hours, you received an email addressed to students who had been admitted to UC San Diego.

As you have quickly realized, this communication was sent to you in error.

On behalf of the Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools, we deeply regret this mistake, because we understand the level of distress it has caused for many of you. In all humility, I ask that you please accept my apologies and those of the University of California, San Diego... and know that we continue to wish you success in your educational pursuits.

Sincerely,

Mae W. Brown
Assistant Vice Chancellor and Director of Admissions

When the hell did I realize that it was a communication error 0_0. Ahhhhh. April Fools gone bad =(. Well, maybe next time they should do it during April Fools and not before.

As Mr. Soony would put it,

NOOB!

OMG in Melbourne.

2009-03-29T16:35:00.010+08:00

Today, just witnessed one of the best motorsports action in recent years. Behold, the new Formula 1 2009!

Cool! The drivers support Earth Day!

Ah, it's been a long time coming. Been months since Hamilton won the driver's championship of 2008. This year promised a lot more with new rules and new technology being used. Observe!

A super small car with a super large front wing and a super small rear wing...

Softies, slickies and hardies!

"Curse"..... sorry, KERS system!

And a whole load of weird rules and adjustable wings as well as specially designed rear wings to list out.

Aha! What does this has got to do with the Melbourne race? Everything! Observe! The starting grid!!!!

1. Jenson Button Brawn
2. Rubens Barrichello Brawn
3. Sebastian Vettel Red Bull
4. Robert Kubica BMW
5. Nico Rosberg Williams
6. Felipe Massa Ferrari
7. Kimi Räikkönen Ferrari
8. Mark Webber Red Bull
9. Nick Heidfeld BMW
10. Fernando Alonso Renault
11. Kazuki Nakajima Williams
12. Heikki Kovalainen McLaren
13. Sebastien Buemi Toro Rosso
14. Nelson Piquet Renault
15. Giancarlo Fisichella Force India
16. Adrian Sutil Force India
17. Sebastien Bourdais Toro Rosso
18. Lewis Hamilton McLaren
19. Timo Glock Toyota
20. Jarno Trulli Toyota

Former champion at 18th. Ferrari nowhere near the tops? Bewildered? Don't be!

Picture evidence!

That's how the race started. Well, Barrichello slipped after his engine suffered some weird failures, but eventually got it running as well. Then, unluckily, he got caught up in a mess!

Well, the mess at the back. Look, Kovalainen smashed his back..... Later, he got smashed in front too before escaping. This mess was cleaned up pretty quickly after Kovalainen retired and Heidfeld as well as Webber are forced to pit. Sad, ain't it? Thankfully, Barrichello survived with a slightly spoilt front wing. Lucky eh? Oh, and the Ferraris managed to squeeze through using their soft tyre gamble at the start to go up to 3rd and 5th. Wulala? Wait till you see what happens.

Only at the 10th lap, THE TYRES WERE WORN OUT. How hilarious is that? It was then when the Ferraris as well as Kubica were moving so freaking slowly and Barrichello made his move on Raikkonen. And how lucky it is that the damaged part of Barrichello's front wing got knocked off! Now he's perfectly fine! OMG? Sad for Raikkonen though. And well, 3 to 5 laps later, the soft tyre gambles came to an end as all the drivers with the soft tyres (Massa, Raikkonen, Kubica, Hamilton) are forced to pit due to the worn out tyres! LOL!!!!!
*Note : These super soft tyres only last you 5 laps of performance according to the commentator. Then on, it's disposable sh*ts. 0_0

Another sad story to follow. Piquet gets a little nudge from Rosberg right before the first corner. First, he gets knocked to the side and suddenly accelerates so insanely quick then proceeds to turn and spin into the sand! Guess what happens? Air pollution!!!!!!!!! Gosh, it's only been 1 day since Earth Day!!! =S

From then on, it was a demonstration of overtaking and pit strategies as the teams with the KERS system show how hard it is to get pass them. The KERS *I'd call it a curse* is actually like the nitro boost you get in Need For Speed. You get a maximum time of 6.6 seconds every lap to use it. It can be recharged using braking or something to sort of work the rear tyres. Drifting for the win? LOL. Well, at least in F1, they don't do that. They smoke tyres instead! Woooo!!!!! More air pollution! *Great thanks to especially, Massa* The disadvantage of this is that once this extra weight is placed into the car. The optimum weight point switches and becomes higher. Making grip and handling a lot harder. Hence, the Ferraris struggled a lot while McLarens also did in qualifying. Heidfeld and Alonso had their pain respectively as well. Hamilton wasn't too bad today though. Those were the 6 drivers using the KERS. Unfortunately, Kubica was too tall so the car's weight was a lot more than the required maximum weight if the KERS had been installed. Well, I'd say he's lucky to not be able to obtain the KERS!

At least there's an advantage in it. Timo Glock said something like this... *quotes him* I can't get pass Alonso! Every time I try to get pass him, HE USES THE FREAKING KERS TO GET AWAY! ARGHHH OMGWTFBBQ ^%#@*^$#%)#%.....

Well, maybe not that many bad words. But well, he sounded very desperate. Poor Glock. Well, Alonso got 80 extra horsepower whenever he uses the KERS. So yeah, I guess it had its advantage in playing a defense =P Sort of like the Cursed Seal in Naruto, don't you think? XD

Then, came the main drama! With 13 laps remaining, Vettel goes in and comes out with soft tyres. Button pits and gets out with softs as well. Kubica is now with highly heated hards. Game on! Kubica is going to have the front two for tea! At least, that's what I thought. And it really happened! After 5 laps, Vettel struggled immediately with Kubica chasing him for 2nd. In just 2 laps, Kubica was already at Vettel's tail even when it was a 5 second gap 2 laps before. Game on, I thought. THEN.......

Kubica saw the opportunity.... 2nd place was his! That was the opportunity he had. THE FIRST OVERTAKING OPPORTUNITY that may come along later if he passed this up. It was very tight. But NOOOOOO, it was time to overtake. Robert Kubica makes his move from the outside... and shuts Vettel completely!!! Great....... if Vettel was a stationary duck. Vettel was a car moving at what, 200km/h or more? Not sure. Well, I guess he couldn't do some weird emergency brake. He turned. Boom! Crash! Kubica knocks onto Vettel and Vettel flies into the grass! Kubica has his right side of the front wing damaged, Vettel has his left damaged. They went out. Now, we shall see the role of the Front Wings! After about 100m, Vettel crashes into the wall with failure in handling thanks to broken front wing. 100m in front, Kubica longpiaks also! Boom. And 2nd and 3rd place is no longer theirs with 3 laps remaining! O.O........ Okay, a little bit off. Let the video explain!

*faint* Well, I'd say they seriously blew it. Blame Vettel for not giving up, but I guess you can't really stop a car like that so quickly. Well, you can argue that Kubica might have won it if he passed through. Then again, blame Kubica for being greedy. Battle of two viewpoints. As a result? Vettel got demoted 10 places for the upcoming Malaysian GP *faint* Poor guy...

And AS A RESULT, the Australian GP finishes with a safety car!!! 0_0. Well, Trulli did pass Hamilton at the end... for 3rd place. But he actually overtook him during the safety car period. So, it didn't count and Trulli was punished. So, Hamilton is now 3rd! It's quite amazing. If Trulli hadn't overtaken Hamilton, it would've been a fairytale story. Hamilton 18th >>> 3rd. Trulli 20th >>> 4th. Glock 19th >>> 5th. But, oh well... Guess that's luck.

For the 4th placed Barrichello, the crash meant 2nd place for him. And with that, Brawn take back 1 and 2!!!! Oh my god?

Button takes the chequered flag with his teammate in 2nd. Dreamland for Brawn GP! You know what? 6 weeks ago, it was like they were about to be out of racing. And 6 weeks on, they won 1st and 2nd in both qualifying and raceday! What kind of story is this? *faint*
Answer to the question on top : The Curious Case of Jenson Button *credit to Chung Ren*

Yay! Joy for Button.

I name this picture "The Joy Of Virgins"

Oh, and I forgot to mention! Joy for virgins too! =D

More joy! He must feel like a hero now...

Well, at the end of the day, how I wish I was Richard Bransen now. Darn... Credit to Brawn GP. Their first ever race. The revival of the ailing Honda. The work put in. Brilliant race. Apart from Brawn, lots of drama as well. Nothing but a great F1 race. Ah, and newbie & rookie Sebastien Buemi got up to 7th place on his first ever F1 race as well! People say he got promoted too quickly since he didn't really win GP2 like some of the drivers did. But well, he certainly proved that he can perform no matter where you put him in! Even contested a place against Raikkonen! Splendid!

Hope for more action this weekend OH! And did I mention where were the two Ferraris?

Ah I guess we have the answer to that. Back to cleaning up the cars. Sadly, both retired.... Better luck next time, mates!

The Agony

2009-03-28T12:03:00.006+08:00

It's been two days since I wake up to a nightmare. No, it was not from a nightmare, but to. Weird isn't it? Whatever it is, it was one heck of two days. Let me just show you how painful it is. For instance, this morning. I woke up expecting nothing. I didn't really know it would come so fast. I thought April 2nd.... but, IT HAD TO COME TODAY.

Dear Jia Yong,

Thank you for your interest in Johns Hopkins. Your official decision notification has been mailed to you today; you should receive it shortly. In the interest of letting candidates know their decisions as soon as they become available, the Admissions Committee has decided to initially release this information by e-mail.

I am very sorry to inform you that we are not able to offer you a place in this year's class. Every year Johns Hopkins receives a large number of applications from highly qualified students. The Admissions Committee gives careful consideration to every admission request, and this decision was reached only after a thorough review of your application.

I understand that this may come as a disappointment, but I hope that it is tempered by good news from other schools to which you have applied.

Thank you again for your interest in Johns Hopkins and please accept my best wishes for a successful college experience.

Sincerely,

John Latting
Dean of Undergraduate Admissions

Holy crap =_=. Yeah, got to thank Kai Sheng for informing me on MSN first. Gosh, the forum said April the 2nd! Darn.... Well, at least I knew it was impossible. Encouraging letter? NOT! I hope the third paragraph comes true in the form of Princeton. But judging from the reality that is I was rejected by almost everyone already *except 2 impossibles and 2 hopefuls*, I think not. I guess that sums up my days hah? I am in dire need of luck...... NOW.

Two days ago, I woke up because of an SMS, MMS *it was a voice message since my lousy phone doesn't even enable recordings >.>* and a phone call, all from Kai Sheng, informing me of his own rejection from Berkeley as well. And guess what? I just had to call my mum up for the tense moment. Opening the websites from my email and going through tedious processes of opening two emails just for a PIN and a password, it became clear the outcome. As I opened up, something similar to the letter on top came up on both sites. Maybe Duke was more encouraging and lengthy. After all, it was from a Duke. No matter. For me, it didn't make a difference. I just closed it upon reading the first two paragraphs in the colossal message from Duke. The outcome itself outweighed what was written there. Mere words can't dash away my feelings now. That ever so hopeful optimism I possessed disappeared in the two days.

Although the rejections, it wasn't really a big deal. Well... it is a big deal. But to me, I had expected it right from the start. Right when I first applied. My SAT result wasn't 2400. My SAT2 had a flaw in my Biology. My curricular activities... questionable. My essays, well, luck. Which brings down to this word, luck. You know, I seriously wonder if good luck would ever come to me. People say your 18th year on Earth is always an unlucky one, and the process repeats for years which are 4380 days apart. Well, if I hadn't jumped Year 4, perhaps this would have been delayed for a year and I would have a better chance.

However, everything happens for a reason. Can't help but think back all the amazing things that had happened to me. Even if it was little, it was well worth it and certainly been a jolly ride. I just hope that I have enough in me to withstand the next 4 days...... towards one April Fools' Day, which is certainly not a day to fool around about. It is judgement day, and what an important day it is in the tale of my life! Hope shall be restored... I hope. Till then, I shall keep my wishes intact. 4 more universities to go! Don't give up! Don't back down! The finish line is just ahead! Till then, mates...

Oh and two more things. First,

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And next, something I wish to share while I'm in this world of despair..... Heard of Haru Haru right? It is by far, one of my most favorite songs in this whole wide world of music. Well, try a Big Bang orchestra! Well, not exactly. Orchestra for background music? WHOA AWESOMENESS! Hopefully this shall steer me towards that world of hope again. Here, I present to you, HARU HARU ORCHESTRA VERSION!

Oooooooooahhhhhh!!!!!! Total pwnage of a music. Nice suits, as always from BB. GD has weird hair..... I love the chest pumps. Ahhh! How sexy! LOL. Love the bridge as well. The remix and change of tones were seriously the bomb!

Ok, I sound like a fangirl now. No matter. After all, they seriously are one heck of a group. Too good for any other Korean groups in my opinion. Haha, I guess this really is my bringer of light in this total darkness hah? Speaking of total darkness, Earth Hour? THAT'S TODAY! Oh god, I shall be closing my computer during that hour as well. Haha. Perhaps my good deed shall make my Karma better? I think not. Well, I guess it's good to do more good. Whatever I get doesn't matter.

Hope I get what I want on April the 1st. Really hope so. Wishing, praying, hoping. Optimism come to me! Ahhh!! I just can't bear the worst case scenario!!! Ahh!!!!!!!!!!

*Message from the panic mind* =S

Cornflakes Worm?!

2009-03-26T23:24:00.000+08:00

Beware Conficker worm come April 1

In an event that hits the computer world only once every few years, security experts are racing against time to mitigate the impact of a bit of malware which is set to wreak havoc on a hard-coded date. As is often the case, that date is April 1.

Malware creators love to target April Fool's Day with their wares, and the latest worm, called Conficker C, could be one of the most damaging attacks we've seen in years.

Conficker first bubbled up in late 2008 and began making headlines in January as known infections topped 9 million computers. Now in its third variant, Conficker C, the worm has grown incredibly complicated, powerful, and virulent... though no one is quite sure exactly what it will do when D-Day arrives.

Thanks in part to a quarter-million-dollar bounty on the head of the writer of the worm, offered by Microsoft, security researchers are aggressively digging into the worm's code as they attempt to engineer a cure or find the writer before the deadline. What's known so far is that on April 1, all infected computers will come under the control of a master machine located somewhere across the web, at which point anything's possible. Will the zombie machines become denial of service attack pawns, steal personal information, wipe hard drives, or simply manifest more traditional malware pop-ups and extortion-like come-ons designed to sell you phony security software? No one knows.

Conficker is clever in the way it hides its tracks because it uses an enormous number of URLs to communicate with HQ. The first version of Conficker used just 250 addresses each day -- which security researchers and ICANN simply bought and/or disabled -- but Conficker C will up the ante to 50,000 addresses a day when it goes active, a number which simply can't be tracked and disabled by hand.

At this point, you should be extra vigilant about protecting your PC: Patch Windows completely through Windows Update and update your anti-malware software as well. Make sure your antivirus software is actually running too, as Conficker may have disabled it.

Microsoft also offers a free online safety scan here, which should be able to detect all Conficker versions.

UNIVERSITY REPLIESSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Okay, I am about to faint. Well, that's how you'd feel when you have just been rejected by UCLA and UCSD at the same time few days ago. And now, what's next is far worst? Let me show you my list.

UC Berkeley (March 26th) - My last hope in California..... Better than top two. Hence, I am deadddddd

Harvard (March 31st) - I shall knock my head against the wall if I get this one

Yale (March 31st) - I'll shave myself bald

JHU (April 1st) - Treat my dudes and dudettes out for dinner!

Duke (March 26th) - YAY! Another dreamy one!

Cornell (March 31st) - Would surprise me if I get it! XD

Princeton (March 31st) - My dream university. I'll chia all of you some hotel buffet if I ever get in. I'm serious. If I get it and I'm going there, I'll let you all slap my face. LOL!!!! *joking, maybe just smash me in badminton*

Ahhh!!!! I still want Princeton so badly. But oh well, desperate people never get what they want. Already expected a no-show from all of them since the start of application. Still remain the same. Will be optimistic but still be aware of reality. No doubt, will change my life forever.

No matter though. There are other paths in life. Opportunity knocks once? Don't think so. Besides, there are a lot of paths towards it! Just need to work your way to find that path! Awesome! Who knows? I might actually go to Adelaide to meet BX and friends if I get rejected by all! Haha! Good news too! XD. Don't worry, I'll remain optimistic. Pray for me! LOL.

A decisive week. Moment of truth! Wish me luck! =D

LOL..... It's just part 1 and part 2. Enjoy! XD

To a friend...

Perhaps I have gone over the to with my words. Either that, or I have absolutely lost it. *sigh* Sometimes, an act of humor might end up as an act of bad luck or catastrophe. Now I feel so emo and sad. I feel so disappointed in myself. In the first place, I should've known that it was a bad omen to even mention it. So much for being a reasonable..... *stares at the Personality Test* LOL.... Anyhow, I still can't get over it, sadly. I still feel very guilty for what I did, even if it had nothing to do with me physically. Perhaps those sheer words brought the chain of unfortunate events. I hope I get what I deserve for all this. Karma can be very cruel at times. I just hope that everything would be alright.

Here's a song for you. Hope you get well soon!

P.S. Remind me never to say those words ever again.

Happy Chinese New Year!!!! belated

2009-01-31T15:08:00.003+08:00

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai! Wan Shi Ru Yi!

*too formal* Anyway, Happy New Year to all! I find these very cute and they look CNY-ish even if they didn't suit the occasion. Enjoy!

Haha... Till the next time!

Persona Test!

2009-01-31T13:45:00.004+08:00

Recently, I got myself into Persona 4 reading on OneManga. How strange. I thought I'd settle with Eyeshield21. No matter. Let's see..... what's a Persona? As Sir Talon describes it, it's some sort of personality thingy....... which I don't get at all =.=. Anyway, I did a Personality Test just 5 minutes ago. You should try it. *from Soony's blog*

And the RESULTS are :

.

..

...

....

.....

......

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
Weirdness max...

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
I have no comments on this

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
Again, commentless

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.
Where is my LOVE......

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.
How very true.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
Ah! THIS IS SO ACCURATE.... COME TO ME DREAM JOB!

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
I am a pessimist...

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Afraid I am *cowers*

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
Again, weird....

All in all, it is pretty accurate as far as I see it. =S. I are a failure in life =( Sad.... comments pls >.<

New Year, New Days......... New Addiction?

2009-01-07T16:13:00.006+08:00

First of all, Happy New Year to all! It has been a spankin' new year eh? Well, so far for me though, it's ultimate boredom *faint*. Nothing to do except staying at home.... or going out.... I need a change. *sigh* Well, maybe a job would be good hah? Anyhow, I promised photos right? Here we go!

Here are some from Wei Yang's farewell. Well, we went to the airport to meet him before his departure. Here are some photos we took.

Yeah it was a big group present. Shows how important he is hah? XD. *sigh* Hope he succeeds in the United States! We will feel his "loss" for a while =(. Anyhow, New Year passed by. New year, new resolution, new addiction? Haha..... Don't worry, DBSK still has their place in my mind. But for all you rap lovers out there, let me recommend you another band I'm into right now!

Introducing

.

..

...

....

.....

BIG BANG!!!~

Members from Left : T.O.P *za awesomest*, Seung Ri, Tae Yang, G-Dragon, Dae Sung

Well yeah, it's another Korean band, BUT A DIFFERENT GENRE. Hence, I pronounce myself an all-rounder >D. It's a group specializing on hip hop music, yet their hip hop sounds R&B as well. It's different from what I've posted so far. Pretty entertaining music =D. Let's just say they are one of the most famous groups in Korea.... one of the most liked too and greatest fan base *apart from Cassiopeia aka DBSK's fan group* Anyway, here's one I'm particularly hooked onto. Enjoy! Haru Haru!

That's all folks. Will post about my resolution for the 2009 next! Till then! =D

A Parting....... For now

2008-12-30T21:25:00.005+08:00

Today, we say goodbye to a best friend who has given so much to us. A friend who has always been there for us. >D. Well, he ain't gone forever, but at least for a year or so......

Presenting.....................

Wei Yang aka xZenith!!!!

*ripped off Soony lol*

We shall miss you lots T_T. Hope to join you in U.S. soon XD. I shall blog more about it when I get my photos. But for now, HERE IS A TRIBUTE FOR YOU. Like I always do, AN AWESOME SONG. RAWR!

One with the emotion enough to show the atmosphere. Good luck in your endeavours and see you in the U.S.! Till then! 8D

Moved.

2008-12-12T16:28:00.004+08:00

Just beautiful. I'm not saying this cause I am a fan of this band, but this is just outstanding. *Note to Shaun : You can off your monitor if you want to* Oh ya, do turn on the volume to amplify effects XD

Wonderful. And the MP3 is even better. =), can send if you all want it. Wonderful.

Penang Trip : Day 1

2008-12-05T16:06:00.004+08:00

Ok, I've been lazy I admit. Paiseh for being that way. Well, holidays have been.... a little boring. I can't really think of a place to go. So much for the plans of exploring Penang. After all, I think I've been to pretty much everywhere in Penang.... perhaps. But no matter. There was still some unfinished business. Even though it's a slow process *thanks to the fact that I do not have a car*, I still got my chance. =P

Let's begin. Day 1! It all started after I dropped my dad at his workplace. Then, I rushed off sooner or later only to find out I violated some traffic rules in the workplace itself..... >.>. Oh well, I still didn't realise it until I got home. No matter. I drove myself to Esplanade in which I started my "photowalk"/exploration with my trusty IXUS 860!

Wahaha, jealous? It's quite stylo, ain't it? Well, that's what I brought with me and let the photo session begin!

Beach Street

This is new.

MPPP Building. At least the building ain't like the ones who go in it.

Guess whose motto is this? *answer below*

How ironic

Practicing the motto now, are we?

Chinese Textile store. *didn't know it was there*

I didn't know students needed barbed wire 0_0

I'm just proud of this shot lol. >.<

Right. After snapping about 30 photos or so, I decided to head on to the Museum for a look-see. After all, this was an exploration. No other place than that to discover Penang and its origins! And tell you what? I wasn't disappointed at all. It was very new. They added tons of stuff from what was left out last time out *I went 5 years ago*. It is only now that I know Penang was called Pulau Ka Chu........ It's just a weird name =.=. Well, they've done a good job by turning the Museum into a gallery or display of Penang and its history in a very detailed manner. It was quite an upgrade really. I must say that it is a must visit whenever you are free or keen about knowing your roots. *Suggestion for WY =P* Here's a picture or two of the Museum.

From the side

Coincidently, I got to see this =D

After an hour or two there, I parted ways with the Museum. Then, it somehow started raining. Bad timing. I was walking. Ahh! Run I did, and thankfully, I managed to get to the car. There goes my morning. It wasn't long before I reached Chung Ren's house. Well, I suggested lunch out with Yon Hon as well but he's ignorant and prefers homecooking. So well, I had to give up. Now, let's see two houses. Without telling which is whose, I'll ask you all to compare first! :D

House A

House B

Cast your votes now! A or B. A is under renovation, so maybe a little unfair. But no matter. Blue or pink! Make your guesses and votes now! *is on the sidebar =P*

Over there, CR showed me around as well as demonstrated his gaming skills, especially in Yuri's Revenge *yay, finally can bully Soony* It was quite fun. I stayed there till 4. YH was there as well. Interestingly, the part I particularly like there was Terri!

I present...................................... Terri! Cute hah? I couldn't agree more. Cute but mischievious though. Couldn't quit sniffing my leg =.=

Dog tamer! Well, this self proclaimed magician knows how to tame a hound hah? >D Who needs the owner =P

All in all, it was quite enjoyable. Was the first day of my holidays. Exciting. One last photo to cap it!

Yay! Museum visit. I admit I folded the paper for convenience. >.<. Hope I do more of this soon. Day 2 coming up! *less photos though* =P. Oh ya, check out my Day 1 album for the complete collection of my "photowalk"! >D. Till the next time.

Muah Albumz!

Obama in the Virtual World!

2008-11-17T18:10:00.013+08:00

Aiks, I'm so behind schedule in my reading, and yet I got time for this. I wanted to blog about the frustration from tmnuts for cutting my connection/phone line just for REPLACING CABLES. But I guessed that'd be an emo and notsointeresting (boring) post to blog about. Besides, it's not like it's a big deal. But they got it done before 6pm when it was originally planned for two days. Pretty cool hah? Maybe they're not so bad in their job after all? Then again, hold that thought.

Anyway, Obama you see on the title? Yes. This post is not to complain about tmnet's recent screw up, but about Obama and how great he has become! Not exactly the biography sort of way, but more, in a gamer's sense. First, let's present, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA *or to be*!

Handsome, ain't he? Well, this was probably the product of a million snaps but I don't blame them. It's their job to stand in front of the camera eh? Just joking..

Anyway, you've seen the new President Obama. What about President Obama digitized?

Yay! How fitting! He looks good in that black suit hah? I happened to come across this game when I read the article on Yahoo! linking me to this. And I couldn't help but blog about it! Oh ya, I played with it for about 15 minutes! Yay! Now, let's present Obama in........................... SUPER OBAMA WORLD!

Yep! You got it! Super Obama World! It basically is the same thing as Super Mario World, just Obama-fied! At first, you play Obama, in this Mario sort of game. He doesn't wear the black suit at first ;-). You'll face piggies, robbers?, flaming rubbish, lorries and all sorts of challenges ahead, some which requires the process of jumping on them to eliminate them! Don't jump on burning rubbish though =X.

You play multiple stages in Alaska and throughout the North American territory. Watch out for stage names. For example, this one! I CAN SEE RUSSIA FROM MY HOUSE! I wonder if Russia is only a mile from that part of Alaska.... Hmm.... Perhaps there was a Mount Everest 2 there.... Maybe.

Yay! An Obama powerup! Instead of a large Mushyroom, you get, an oversized cake. Cheese cake? Not so sure. But all I know is that when you get this, you get the cool black suit with shades on Obama D=.

Introducing, Super Obama! Here we see Obama standing with the powerup on a bridge with a sign. *go use your own magnifying glass to see what it says lol* Or play the game! =D. Heads up though, you can't shoot stuff even if you get three powerups lol.

Ahh! Obama Owns Piggy Sight! Oops little piggy! :P

Overall, if you can't get enough of Obama/Mario or are just a crazy fanatic of the new U.S. Presidential elect Obama OR your curiosity just made you find out about it, BY ALL MEANS VISIT THIS LINK.

http://superobamaworld.com

It's time for some Presidential Ownage session with Obama! Yay! Pictures courtesy of ME! =P Till the next time, folks! Oh ya, before that, it was created by ZenSoft! Any ideas, Zen? XD Tara!

Running the Great Bridge!

2008-11-16T14:31:00.007+08:00

HA HA! Finally, after spending 16 years of my life not bothering or knowing about one of the biggest events in Penang, here I am now putting a nice big cross on the Penang Bridge Marathon box! Let's put it short, I HAVE FINALLY DONE IT.

Well, although it's a little participation certificate, it still means a lot. Besides, I don't even know if I'd be in this merry place come next year. So this is sort of a once in a lifetime experience for me.... if I don't ever come back that is. Chances are I will though. Regardless, it was one breathtaking experience.

I took part in the Fun Run. Kinda more for newbs like me who lack the stamina T_T. *I admit I need a workout, corners* Hence, I took part in the lesser competition, just to try it out and experience it as well as test myself out. It felt kind of exciting at first. I targeted a 1 hour 30 minutes finish for this 10km run that I got myself into. Let's just say it all backfired. Nonetheless, I still finished in time =). Before the run, though, some people told me about finishing in 45 minutes @_@. You know who you are. Ahaha, maybe you wanna take it back now? XP.

Here is a rough map of the distance I covered in this marathon.
Well, the path in pink is the one I covered. It might look short, but it was actually a run all the way to the middle span of the gargantuan bridge. Pretty tiring I must say. I was complaining about the uneven surface of the bridge the whole way though, it was pretty disappointing, especially when I felt a little crack on my nerves now and then. However, at least I came up unscathed with NO blisters. hahaha! That was surprising. Anyhow, the pain in my leg is still undeniably there till now. Argh, cannot do any kind of sports this week T_T. Hope I get well soon lol.

The view was good. The weather was cool and refreshing in the morning. After all, it was what, 6 a.m.? Let me tell you that the place was already very crowded at 2, even though I wasn't there. Spankin' stuff I would say. There were freebies all over. 100 plus, cereal, Milo, mineral water. Not bad hah? At least I can snatch some of those after the race. XD. Oh ya, speaking about freebies, there was obviously refreshment stations all over. Very good I would say..... not! When I arrived, it was basically 'mineral water'-less and the guy even offered little cold water to wash our hands! *it looked dark...........* Anyhow, I didn't dare to try it lol. Free ice too. *at the other stations, NOT THAT ONE*.

Ah it was interesting. The most challenging part was the bridge I would say. Half of it was already tiring enough. I felt like vomiting at times. Too bad I didn't =P. Like I said, it was pretty much an uneven path which is so not "running-friendly". Imagine if you run this bare foot! D= I'd be the first one to chicken out LOL.

Well, like I said, the view of the island from the bridge is really something. Quite nice. Sight-seeing is a must-do when you run this! Cameras not recommended though, otherwise you'd end up like Shaun. Speaking about Shaun, he was the best runner among all I would say. Not in a quick kind of way. Like I said, most of us felt like vomiting there right? Imagine running 10 kilometres with a bag containing about 2 kilograms of stuff inside! Ahh, it was only after the race that he complained about backache though. Eng kai! XD. I'm sure Ripalo will blog about this. Haha.

Besides that, the sanitary station is a must-see. Well, if you're eating, maybe not. It was quite interesting. It looked like a phone booth to me. You know, those in American shows? Yeah. According to Zen/Wayne, the tank to contain the waste was probably just about the height of a garden gate....... *again, those you see in American shows*. Hmm, imagine someone making "Secret Recipe's Chocolate Cake" in there....... Okay, screw that thought!

Well, I did get any pictures of this though. It wasn't particularly wise to bring a camera. After all, I had a pack of biscuits, my handphone and my wallet with me already. Oh ya, did I mention my watch's rubber snapped on me on the way to the finish line? Nawhtee watch! Now I gotta get it fixed. Sad...

Ah well, memorable day. Oh ya, we finished at about 8.00 or so. And one more thing, NONE OF US GOT THE FREE SAGA. AHH!!!! Roti canai and teh tarik was too tempting. LOL.

Before I end, I managed to take a picture of something I would like to boast about, particularly to Wasabi and Bra. Oh ya, and Mitsie too! Wakaka! *cannot do it to Soony as he would bully me more in SC LOL*

HUAH HUAH HUAH!~ XD

Wrong Number

2008-11-15T11:52:00.004+08:00

Well, recently *or for the past few months* I've been receiving weird phone calls. Don't ask me why. Somehow, it's always asking for the same person..... from different people. Woah, my status has been upgraded to land dealer according to them >D. Though it ain't nice as I usually receive them at the wrong time. No matter.

Speaking about Wrong Number, I recently went back to my addiction of DBSK songs, even though there was a recent halt in that. Another song got me into things. Quite nice actually. Addicted to this XD. Behold!!!! Wrong Number!

Haha. Well, if you don't like Korean songs, it's ok. This one's especially for Wayne. >D, since you prefer Japanese. Behold!!! Darkness Eyes!

These are the two songs from DBSK that I'm currently into. Well, not really the two songs I'm into though. Haha. Recently, I got the hang of some Korean music. They are really good actually, given that their language may be really hard to pronounce. I'll post up two samples. One's a total badass song, one's more of a soft ballad soothing for the ears. Amazing bands. Ironically, all boy bands XD.

Don't Don - Super Junior! Perhaps not your cup of tea. It's more of the Insane Badass Rock/R&B Emo yet Spankin' song! Well, I like the violin part though XD. Alright, perhaps this next one would be more suited for you readers.

Awesome new band! Look like geeks, but geeks with insane voice of course XD. Catch them on the charts soon! Haha. Till the next time! Speaking about it, I just got one wrong number as I am about to publish it. Same scenario again! AHHHHH! Scary! :S

Starcraft IS Epic

2008-10-22T14:40:00.002+08:00

Let me introduce you to a game I find an epic!

Ta-daa! Introducing Starcraft! One of the most played games among all the computer games, not to mention one of the best as rated by the whole world. Unlike other games which were produced as the same time as this, this was far more advanced. From hi-tech graphics to awesome battle system, from realistic movies to wicked sound clips, Starcraft has it all! What's more? Soon, there'll be Starcraft 2, which is currently the most highly antitipcated games coming out this Spring or so! Starcraft fans should know what I am talking about, right?

Though, apart from all that "crash boom bang fight!" or drama in the game, I did mention sound clips right? Let me ask you a question first. Anyone has any idea how to sound like an alien?........... Hmm.... Oh we have an answer! Will Mr. An Yun Sang please stand up with your answer!

Many thanks to "The Alcoholic Drink" for this awesome video! Enjoy! :P

Random!

2008-10-17T21:32:00.003+08:00

Exams started. Doesn't spoil the fun ;P

Enjoy! I pity the cat honestly XD

A Song To Vote For

With the U.S. presidential elections ahead, it's surely going to be hectic going into this. First time voters would have a hard time. That's obvious. How would you feel when this happens? Well, perhaps, I should care more about politics. Anyhow, music is related to everything, even politics. If you're a first time voter and can't get the hang of voting, try this song to pump you up!

Enjoy!

Something from an old robotic time....

2008-10-07T21:25:00.003+08:00

Yesterday, I was about to find myself some copies on my results in my entire secondary school life in order to hand it to the old school of mine to do some transcript thingy.... not too sure what that is. It was supposedly needed for the application of universities, or so they claim. Whatever it is, it was certainly one heck of a mess when I wanted to search for them. Usual right?

Anyway, it proved to be successful as I not only managed to find the required documents. I also found something to blog today! This was done by one of my friends last year. A magnificient effort, don't you think? See it for yourself! *slaps it on the post*

For all who do not know what is that, it's Optimus Prime ;)

Next is Megatron

Extraordinary to me. Well, they aren't perfect, but certainly a magnificient piece of artwork. Besides, it's a great souvenir from those days, eh? For more info, contact me ;). Till the next time! Enjoy the art!

Mirotic.... and a little bit of problems

2008-10-01T15:06:00.001+08:00

Well, this is Mirotic. The current song I'm currently stuck with! Haha, awesome song.... May be not nice for those who don't like it, but really nice for those who do. Enjoy! And yeah, it's a weird tune, I know. But strange is good! XD

For the problem part, well, something bad just happened and I can't explain it really :(. Ah well, that's it from me today. Need some time to settle down. Ugh... Till the next time when I'm better! :P

It's A Bubbly World Out There!

2008-09-25T21:38:00.002+08:00

I just saw a fascinating eye-opener on KBS world today...... For more info, it's a Korean Channel. It was aired just before a Korean drama series my aunt was watching at my gramps' place. Interesting? You ain't seen anything yet. It was mostly about showing their slow motion captures on their so-called "Slow Mo Cam".....

What I saw really caught my eye, although it was just a little portion of the show.... *towards the ending*. Though, it already made me blog about it. What is it? Bubbles! You know, bubbles are fun when you make them. They are beautiful..... well, bubbles. It's just a wonder of life if you ask me. Interesting scene.

Though, one question. What do people do with bubbles? Simple. They pop them! Notice that people tend to have an addiction to that.... Somehow, it's a total "waste of time", yet, most find it really fun and awesome at times. It's just a way of relaxing I suppose. It's like popping bubbles of anger in your mind. Anyhow, would you know what happens when you pop a bubble?

With this slow motion videos I got from youtube, PREPARE TO BE POPPED UP BY IT!

Well, the last video has weird tags at the start. No matter, it's still the same thing. Haha, just shows you how unique is our world! Okay then, time to go! Oh ya, I made this blog private :P. Sue me! Will come up with more the next time out! =)

Balloons?

2008-09-19T18:00:00.002+08:00

I recently had a hot streak with DBSK's music..... or to Japanese, TVXQ or Tohoshinki. They're really a good listen if you ask me. Been listening to their music only for five days and for the past two days, a little mixed so I wouldn't get bored. Still on top of my hit list. As for one, still the top of the top. Hehe....

Well, apart from the cool looks and spiky hair sometimes, there are a lot of things that you'd think people wouldn't do... especially, DBSK. But somehow, they just DID. And boy is it funny and certainly, WEIRD! Have a good laugh! :) May balloons put a smile on your face! =)

Note : The song is good tho XD

Song-mania?

2008-09-18T22:42:00.002+08:00

Just added a new feature to the blog..... The Imeem player. Somehow, the size of it just ain't right and it takes ages to load. Well, just a little spot on what I am listening to in this moment in time. If you're interested, do wait patiently for it to load and then have a nice look! *note : One is not included, it takes ages to upload it.... how ironic*

Ah well, tara! Till the next time then! In the mean time, enjoy the music in your life! And sorry about the size once more. I know it looks awkward =\.

Wulala to the Max?!

2008-09-15T21:50:00.006+08:00

Trials is over. I've got to admit I'm pretty torn apart by my results. Meh, they are quite bad. Expected I guess..... not really for my biology though. So far, it's been pretty shocking. Though I had expected it from my Chemistry anyway.... ARGH BIOLOGY!!!!!

Ah well, I guess LIFE SCIENCE isn't everything to life, is it? Sometimes, it's just a little pat in the back to let you go for it the next time round. Gobble it up like a monster! Wakaka!

Anyway, I got a request from a certain someone *youknowwhoyouare* that she wants a wulala which is made up of two Onionheads! Instead of one..... She craves romance.... sue her =P. Ah well, more work for me! But the result ended up great!..... for my standards, that is.

Can't deny that Onion Club has a copyright. But my edit is imperfect.... so I don't think they'd use this one anyway. Just a little photoshop naughty doing of mine. Sorry Onion Club people if you are offended by my little attempt.... >.<. You can have it if you want. Sue the person who asked me to do it with an ultimatum!!!!! >.< Well, to all readers, though, enjoy! AND USE WITH PLEASURE!

Maybe it is a fact. Maybe it isn't. But well, I still feel that I don't really have a very good English. Yes, it's true. Blogging only requires simple English. If I go on a vocab test, I'd end up failing. Anyhow, to confirm this, I went to a simple test of English brought to you by the UCLES Examination Board! A simple English test called.................. IELTS!!!!

Well, it was last LAST Saturday that this happened. I can still remember. The day before our country's independence day, which was on August the 30th. A grand day perhaps? Well, to think that I had class for this. Anyway, well, for me, another class skipped I guess. Though, it was alright. After all, I had to skip one of it anyway. Besides, I took IELTS also for the fact that I need it as an English requirement. Big deal.....

So anyway, here was it. IELTS is split into four parts basically. Listening, Reading, Writing And Speaking. Basically, these are the four parts that we have to take on in the test, which lasts for about a day. How do I prepare? Well, the guide book was of no help to me. Though I did get some info on the format of the papers. I had to search the ever so "canggih" internet for the answers and samples to the tests. Anyhow, they proved to be useful in the end. Though, still, I screwed my writing XD.

Ok. Let's give a brief description of the tests. First, Listening test. This is the first tests of all tests. It's basically just testing your english through hearing. Typical listening test if you ask me. Though, I screwed it to get a band 8.0/9.0. Well, maybe I need hearing aids? It is simply just filling in the blanks and questions like that. Nothing that intimidating to being with.

Then, comes reading. Basically, it was just a reading comprehension marathon. Again, nothing much. Though, it was relatively easy for my test. I got a spankin 8.5 for it! Yay! Basically, it was just finding the text to the answers which were complicated.

This is followed by Writing, probably one of the more tougher ones among the four tests. We were required to write about a chart showing the number of people in one household, comparing each location stated and the trend of the timeline. Next, was about comparing group studying to self studying. Well, the first was like a description for the data only. The second required a little more mind squishing. Got a 7.5 for this. Oh well.....

The fourth and final part was a Speaking test. It is basically a 1 on 1 conversation with an examiner, who records this conversation and sends it to the IELTS almighty board to determine the standard of your "speech"! Well, I had some flaws, but it all ended up well. Maybe the question about describing a place which you like with a lot of water was pretty challenging. Though I got a band 8.0 for this. How unexpected! Haha...

Anyway, overall, I got a band 8.0 for this. Hooray! Guaranteed to meet the requirements of every university! Haha, till the next time! XD. Oh ya, and here's some proof! XD

Just took time out of my "busy" life to kindly update this long abandoned space of mine. Perhaps it's time as well. So many things happened. So many, so different, so interesting. That's life, I guess? Right?

It wasn't until today that I finally found the best Japanese song, if not the best song I've ever heard, coming from a group I've heard so little of. It isn't that they aren't famous, but it has been a while since I've ever touched their music. It all came from Rising Sun two years ago. And today, I am here to present to you one of my favourite music of all time from now on.......... this is the.................................

ONE!

Many thanks to DBSK/TVXQ/Tohoshinki for singing such a beautiful, meaningful, emotional and wonderful song to enlighten up my world now! To all viewers, enjoy! To anyone who wants this wonderful song, can just ask me for it :P! XD Till the next time! Have a wonderful time in this brilliant life!

Note : The Video is of the Korean version. The Japanese one is for my own reference XD and yours of course. After all, I feel the Japanese one is nicer :P

Silently.... I Wait.....

"I Still..."

Who are you now?
Are you still the same
Or did you change somehow?
What do you do
At this very moment when I think of you?
And when I'm looking back
How we were young and stupid
Do you remember that?

No matter how I fight it
Can't deny it
Just can't let you go

I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you
Like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you

Now look at me
Instead of moving on, I refuse to see
That I keep coming back
And I'm stuck in a moment
That wasn't meant to last (to last)

I've tried to fight it
Can't deny it
You don't even know

That I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you
Like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you

No no
Wish I could find you
Just like you found me
Then I would never let you go (without you)

Though everything's been said and done (yeah)
I still feel you (I still feel you)
Like I'm right beside you (like I'm right beside you)
But still no (still no word) word from you

This is a wonderful song, one that may be used to describe my current situation now..... Not completely, but somehow, it feels really suitable, the tone, the atmosphere, the sadness and all. Looks like that's all for now. Nothing much to post about. Don't feel like it at all. Enjoy the video and song though....
