dat lady

2011-10-05T09:56:00.000-07:00

remember one of my post, where I talked about this grateful and kind lady who offered my free snacks and a fairly expensive mineral water? I said about how hard it was to guess her age so I guessed she's about 20-40 years old.

She's 30. Nailed it.

ahh, so much for a refreshment

2011-10-02T23:13:00.000-07:00

one month alert! no new post for a very long time. I've been kinda busy lately with all the stupid and meaningful things that happened lately. A lot of ideas are present, but sadly I'm just stoned to write anything. hah.

Lets Respawn!

1# This one American that I know for around a year is a very nice dude. This one time I came to his campus room and caught a glimpse of what lifestyle he's been living on. This guy, apparently, do not own a laptop at all. His room is filled with books and stuffs like food etc... I asked him, with this 'wow' factor in my voice. This guy is one of those rare individual who doesn't get caught in the pool of consumerism. "But hey don't you wanna check your email and stuffs, facebookz bla2..." "Well, those only take me more than a few minutes; it's not like I have to do it all day long" So true...

I would be ashamed to invite him to my house, seeing all the stuffs I bought.

2# My boss, Henry, have good impressions about me because I have good english and I take

shifts quite a few of them. Whilst that, my english sucks and I cannot come early to any morning shifts. He doesn't know these, hahaa...

3# Me dunkin, me jumpin high. aint gonna happen with my poor attitude here.

4# Im running out of money.

5# Gonna relive the glory of Samsung 55C6300. Im putting my PS3 out of my room so less time gaming,more time for productive things.

6# Whatcha gonna do in leisuries huhhh????

slowly,

...Ramadhan slips away yet again. I never grasp it. Never had...

contemplating self's action

2011-08-24T15:21:00.000-07:00

when a hectic week just starts to hit you, you're just gone into a realization that you've been doing it wrong all the time. You're too busy snuggling inside your comfort pillow, and then when that pillow disappeared, then chill time's gone. Needed to stand up, and face it! For all the habits you've instilled inside you, the things that you considered part of what builds you; the fundamentals of your skills, attitude, whatever other words it may describe as such, you bring it with you and show it to the people before you.

"Here! This is what I am for the 21 years of my living, what I did and do, this is what I became"

I'm really into this pool of comfort. It's convenient and take the least effort of myself. Relax is the main subject of it. I've got all the time I have right now. I can do whatever I want. Yeah, this feels great!

It's like procrastination, or of what one of my friend would describe as masturbation (lol). It's feels good at first, only later you'd realized you just fucked yourself.

Stand up now Shafiq, for you cannot delay the time you've got. Make something out of yourself. A KDR of 2 in cod blops aint gonna bring you even an inch further. It's just all about an unquestionable waste of time. Self-describable, utterly useless topic to think about. I know what's right and what' those things are to be left.

Sometimes I feel too lucky (well I am, certainly) that I am in the situation I am now. There's definitely a purpose for me being in this situation. Myself, all the grateful things around, all the awesomest friends and people around me, the ground that I'm standing in this moment.

This mean something, and I need to start searching the meaning behind it

and then i bought a new fixie

2011-08-21T10:56:00.001-07:00

a month ago i lost my bike. after two years of using it, finally, i lost my grip on that bike that i bought from craig for $60. it is the best $60 that i've ever spent in madison. I think i ride more than a hundred miles with that bike cuz i use so often to go anywhere. Its the best mode of transportation I'd say. Quick, fast, effective, zero waiting time and the best part is when I can ride it however I'd like to. But now it's gone. No more plowing through bushes. No more hitting red lights on the traffic. No more traffic honking at me.

and then i bought a new fixie....

2011-08-19T09:22:00.000-07:00

Ya Allah, ape nak jadi dgn diri nie. terasa semakin jahil, hati yang parah itu makin parah hitam berkarat parahnya, sehingga berbuat dosa tiada rasa sugul di hati. Masa yang suntuk. Kejahilan yang menguasai. Semakin tenggelam. Iman rapuh tak bisa berbuat apa2. fikiran mahu berubah hanya awan2 semata.

pabila tak cukup tidur

2011-08-18T13:29:00.000-07:00

nikmat tidur terasa di puncak nya~

its today

2011-08-17T02:09:00.001-07:00

I'm gonna sit in my house all day long waiting for this to come @ my doorstep:)

kenasi-lemakan

2011-08-15T22:50:00.000-07:00

during my independently, lonely, free-timely period in Ramadhan, I was thinking, why not try something new, something that I never did before. There I decided to have nasi lemak for berbuka. sweet. i went to that asian shop which sells nasi lemak stuffs, which is like 15-minute biking far away, only to realize I didn't bring my credit card with me, just before checking out. dammeit!! but no, it's okay, a 2-time round trip, an hour long should be that bad.lol.it is.but yeah, i decided to hell with it.

And its kinda worth it. and i really mean it. my nasi lemak shorts screwpine leaves (or daun pandan) but boy it surely tasted like one hell of a good nasi lemak. I had it with my superb sambal ikan bilis, which isn't quite half-bad, plus the great ayam goreng berempah. all this wouldn't be as good as it is without the power of Google.com. yeaa, google it when you need to know something, before asking something. But in certain circumstances, i personally would ask someone than relying on internet. cuz listening is better than reading, and people have that power of persuasion in their words, compared to plain texts.

nailed it. and that mountain dew was brought out from the freezer. i had the best self-made meal combo for the ramadhan!

one thing that bothered me was that i mistakenly bought a zucchini over a cucumber, the one i really intended to buy. damn these two vegetables looks exactly the same from the outside. the length, the color, the size, the texture. many fools would be fooled by it, and that one of the fools is me! hahahaa. i could've have a complete set of nasi lemak. but whatever....

.....

why am i writing about stuffs I ate?

........ cuz i worked hard for making that meal weyy!!!!

whaa?

2011-08-14T18:00:00.000-07:00

so this one woman (girl?) of around 20-40 years old here offered me to buy a water for my break. I was like whaa?

------------------------------------- EDIT 1 ---------------------------------------

i did said no at first, but she kinda insisted, again and again, yeearghh.... so then i said yeah whatever you wanna buy. she came back with Fiji artesian (mineral?) water, a bar of Payday and a cookie. A little bit too much, too good I'd say.

another new post. yeay!

2011-08-11T01:43:00.000-07:00

thanks to syazana who asked me about one of the old posts of mine, suddenleyh, ohh my, these posts, did i really wrote these???... truly..cannot...believe...it. yeah, the fact is i really did produce those things. man, now im kinda pumped up to write stuffs again. this is good. writing is good, especially when you'd love to write and you have these things in your mind that you somehow unable to share with others because you don't have anyone around you because they fucking went back home!!!

.ahlonely.

just now i was cleaning the kitchen because it didn't look pretty. not cleaning, but rather sorting out those rempah-rempahs actually. boy do we have wayy too much of these left. after a damn year. it's just enough to keep us good for another whole year. except that some of those rempahs are expiring to non-palatable junks. rempah-rempah nasi goreng tersangatlah banyak weh. berjaban juta punye banyak weh. weh. weh. i'm telling ya. need to use more of these during the course of ramadhan, which means it is an absolute to cook at home, no more outing foods!!

suddenly i think im actually good at this

uhh, you wanna buy moar pati cubes? cukup laa...

and a hot teh tarik for my sahur. aint that cool? last sip seconds away from the azan. plus i ate mee goreng like an hour ago, and still kenyang sampai skrg. so umm, im not working today, and technically will be spending the whole day at home, unless a plan is made out?

oh, my skiffish and pumpa is arriving today. time for some workout. 6-pack baby!

oh this blog

2011-08-07T16:17:00.000-07:00

sebelum nie maleh nak menulih. sekarang pon maleh jugak. sampai bile2 pon maleh. tapi saat2 nie memang exception lah, sebab aku in a complete kebosanan dan tak tahu nak buat ape. zaman2 puasa ramadhan nie laa nak elak dari buat perkara2 lagha. enuf laa dengan bermain game2 black ops dan modern warfare. Aku dah cukop hebat dah dengan semua tuu (puji diri sendiri padahal tak power mane pon hehe). So ape yang aku perlu buat utk habeskan masa2 di tempat kerja nie?

Aku pon bukak laa blog lame aku ni. terasa rindu pulak bila tengok post2 aku yang lame. zaman2 menulis blog dulu2 memang best. sebab ramai member2 yang tulis blog jugak time tuu. ade post2 yang pendek mcm ulat beluncas, then ade jugak yang cerita punya laa smpai detail benor, pastu bile tarok gambar2 kat post tuu sedapp je bace. ye laa, zaman facebook kurang femes lagi ape nak buat dengan internet kan? blog lar. tak pon depa main friendster. tapi sekarang nie takde dah blogging phenomenon. sekarang nie orang panggil the facebook phenomenon cuz tuu le trend skrg. hanye tinggal sdikit je orang yang masih berblogging. takpon bertumblr. oh wait? tumblr lagi la orang jarang guna, and aku tahu ade sorang je yagn aku kenal yang guna tumblr.

So skrg ni bulan Ramadhan yang penuh keberkatan, aku tahu, agak susah nak buang something yang kite biasa buat selama 11 bulan and get rid of it right away bile ramadhan tiba. One of my habit is that aku suke main ps3. Online multiplayer is very addicting I'd say weyy. Aku main banyak2 sampai dah phD (pro habes dah). Siang2, di bumi amerika ini, tanpa ramai disekeliling (yes, kawan2 aku semua balek cuti2 malaysia, leaving me alone here), aku banyak free time. masa lapang yang tak ter-occupy. Thus akibat habit aku selama ni, maka menghadap laa aku dkat benda2 lagha nie. Astaghfirullah, apa mau jadi lah. hahaa. luckily my buddy Adam pergi berjalan2 ke cali, so aku xde member nak main sekali, membuatkan online multiplayer sedikit kebosanan. Bosan habes la aku cakap. memang takde mood langsung kalau main sorang2. takde feel orang cakap.

Tapi kadang2 aku bukak main game nie, but still bosan. So ape aku buat? pasang game nie sambil dengar ceramah Ustaz Azhar Idrus. gua cakap sama lu, ceramah ustaz nie memang best nak didengar. dengan loghat ganu nyo, ngan humor ustaz nie yang memang humorous habes lah, tak kering gusi telinga aku mendengar ceramah beliau. and I really think this is a good start for gaining islamic wisdom for those who aren't even casual readers, like me. Diri dah makin besar tapi ilmu di dada sangat lah sikit. nak mengaji kitab kena pandai mencari mase dan peluang, so mase2 sekarang nie lah nak belajar semua nih.

and lagi satu, blog aku lagi satu tuu fail lah. so aku akan update ape2 dekat blog asal terchenta ini.

sekian wassalam.

I should get a haircut

2010-12-08T18:45:00.000-08:00

though I only kept my hair for 4 months, it doesn't look stylish at all. Its even hard to manage, plus when I wear any of those hoods that protect my ear during these winter colds. Tomorrow I'll get a haircut. 18 dollars will fly away from me~ that equates to 3 Palis meals, you dumbass barbers!!!

lamenye menunggu

2010-10-11T21:55:00.000-07:00

alright. now's about the time that i've already received my munnie!! imagine I had waited since July for my 3-month allowance and now we're in October where the next allowance is scheduled to be received. I got debts all around me, and a long list of things pending to be bought.

1. Sony Xperia X10

$199 AT&T Contract

2. A 23" monitor

probably an LED, or the sufficient LCD would please my techy lust

around $180

3. A 46" 120Hz HDTV

this will bang a big buck on me. $1100+ for LED or $900 for LCD

4. Some clothes for winter survival

5. Books!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yeahh, finally some urge to do updates!

I had left my beloved home, my parents and siblings and cousins and friends the late evening and currently I'm in HongKong's prouded airport, quite beautiful I'd say. And yet again, I'm travelling alone. There supposed to be another group which departs the same day as I do, but our departure doesn't coincide. Well, as I do believe that travelling alone gives me full authority of what or where I'm going, I guess that's a good point of going anywhere alone. More freedom and space to bulk myself with whatever I'm planning to do. Going in groups pops out a need of consideration from all people to make decisions, and that's quite a least of a favor for me.

KLIA > Hong Kong Airport (the picture) > LAX at least that's what I think!

Stayed in HongKong for a short two-hours, and I even bantai the qiblat when performing my prayers. It's due to lack of compass, and of course it's already night, thus I am unable to figure out, or more like blindly guessing out where the direction of north should be, according to the

shadows from the sunlight. Well of course I faced the direction where people would least notice me that I'm actually praying. Didn't wanted to make unnecessary attentions and glarings from these bunch of people.

Of all the free time I spent during my journey, I am really glad that I had decided to invest my last 25rm to buy a book. Yes, it's my very first book that I genuinely bought it because of pure interest and I had long ago wanted to start reading as my new hobby. Enough of Modern Warfare-ing already!!

Quite a fine content to read. This book is written chronologically about this guy's life from his childhood until he finally succeeded in flying to space. I enjoyed every bits of it. This dude is actually a spectacular person to begin with. Being a national swimmer and national story-teller during primary school is just the beginning of his legacy.

once upon a morning

2010-07-12T02:46:00.000-07:00

suddenly i felt the urge to visit my blog after a long while. I realize i left out so many things I used to do the last 2-3 years, and blogging is one of 'em. I also do realize a certain number of people who used to blog also came to stop writing whatsoever. maybe the convenient Facebook had taken out all the fun from blogging, or maybe Fb caught all the attention of us. Yeah, who doesn't open their Fb account in a day anyways.

Well, in five days I'll be arriving Malaysia, and to be quite frank I have no plans on what ima going to do for the next month and a half.

why am I doing this n that?

2010-02-28T21:29:00.000-08:00

2010-02-01T22:13:00.000-08:00

Sleep right now.

For it is needed.

While you are swifted away by rainbow dreams,

They who're already before you,

gets further to the horizon, unseen.

As you wake up,

you need to chase them back,

until when you think you just pass them by,

you went back to sleep. Again, you're been surpassed.

Or as that is just your blind thought to conform yourself.

And the chase repeats itself. Endlessly.

Tiresome. This chase.

Why am I surrounded by hardworking people? Can't you guys just take some break. lol.

Fundamental no. 1

2010-01-25T09:47:00.000-08:00

Ever wondered why when you think you've done quite good enough in your prayers, and yet you still can't resist all the bad doings?

I've always failed on this 1st stage.

*What category do you fall into?*

you are uncharted!

2010-01-24T18:19:00.000-08:00

During these critical moments, I really shouldn't be doing things other than which is academically-related, and that includes blogging, lol. The exam paper that most professors would say a minimum of 250 hours of revision is needed to pass, is just 19 days away, and I kinda have the feeling which fades away my confidence; unpreparedness and lack of focus. It's hard to believe the big exam is just around the corner. Despite how distressing this might be, I can still pull myself to un-treasure the remaining countdown, and what does that means? It's gaming time! Right now I also can't deny my nearly-exploded conscience of sharing what I perceive as a pure masterpiece. From my mind it is best not to delay such a storytelling.

It's been a while since I've experienced epic moments, and I believed all of us rarely experience such things, as it is genuinely hard to find one. One might assert their vacation to famous places, say New York, as epic, while some might say seeing his or herself scoring a four pointer while checking the semester results aroused him the most.

As for myself, investing more than 10 hours during these searing moments into one of the best games of all time, is more than just saying 'It really was worth the time'. Admit it, this game is a tug. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves , it's popularity and overwhelmingly-positive reputation is unquestionable and I strongly believe there are thousands ways to prove that.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is more the meets the eye, in a reasonably good fashion. Seriously, it's more promising than it looks.

In my opinion, the game is very well-balanced between straining the players' skill in intense combat, wrecking our minds solving various puzzles in order to proceed, in-game dialogue which give a great expression of "Is this a game or a cinematic movie?", and a propelling yet unpredictable story. All these factors are added up to produce a complete experience for anyone involved.

Wait, hearing the word GAME doesn't necessarily means it's all jumping platforms and shooting people. Uncharted 2, in my opinion, virtually acts as a history class, or maybe Geography class too. From knowing that the origins of Buddhism is far stretched to the Himalayas (according to Tibetan Buddhist traditions) to the mythical city of Shambhala, this has really spiced me up to know more about what's related. Again, games are widely exaggerated, and Uncharted 2 is no exception, but at least the game 'taught' me that the urban people living in the Himalayas are called Tibetans. How informative!

Sometimes I just wanted to spend a minute rotating my camera to view the breathtaking environments before proceeding. Unleash the power of next-gen's graphic!

Yeah, I repeat again. It's worth playing, even during big exam times!
Summing up, if you're searching a medium to boil down all those stressing parts of your misery, then banging yourself into this game is one of those remedy. Well, at least to me it works.

Credits to Zafree for being gracious to lend me this masterpiece.

something's not right.

I can feel it. It's uneasy and unpleasant.

I overlooked a very big thing.

Be more productive, please.

A present from my mum

Mind relieving. A bleach for souls as black as mine.
My mother asks me to hear this whenever I'm studying. I just think this is worth sharing.

a new semester = a new better n greater habit

2010-01-18T22:14:00.000-08:00

So, my holiday officially ends today. Tomorrow begins another chapter of my life in UW. A new semester. A new habit, i guess. A habit that wouldn't lead me to an awfully wasted morning due to overslept, or missing my Suboh prayers. Geez, i really need change.

And i'm desperately in need for an initiator to fulfill my goals that I set just before I flew here.
And i'm desperately in need for a job. Because jobs supplies me an extra pocket of money. A money that I can use for buying things I like.

If I make a list of all unsettled doings and things I've been craving for, it's endless.
Basically, its prioritize as follows:

1. Fulfill my parents' no.1 advice; well-establish my prayers.
2. Start making non-obligatory deeds, such as solat sunat rawattib. [I've heard that one sunat rawattib prayer has greater value than the sky and earth and all its contents] dll...
3. Blogging. This. Improving writing skills is way important than playing games.
4. Make a digital booklet of all knowledge I come across. This way I won't forget these valuable treasures.
5. Games yet to be played:
i- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
ii- Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
iii- Assassin's Creed 2
6. Games yet to be platinum-ed:
i- Fallout 3
ii- Burnout Paradise

This is just a brief list that I can come up. To truly stick myself to follow what I wanna do, takes more than pure brute strength. I need true pure motivation for I know my heart is very prone to the evil nafs.

Ahh, there's another thing that's bothering me lately. Its the, FM study!!! For those who doesn't have the idea of what FM stands for, well its basically a professional exam that is required to be taken by future actuaries in order to have a more secure place for job-seeking soon. if you understand. lol.
As i'm writing this, there's only 25 days that stands between me and this paper.

Whatever. I'm only wanted to stress out the calculator we FM students are obligated to use during the exam. This financial calculator is terribly dumbed down in terms of usage and its available functions. Imagine, all the calculations are so complex and all the ridiculous fractions with up to 5 decimal places and the calculator allows us to compute only ONE basic plus/minus computation at a time. And every time I've done with a calculation I have to write down the figures, thanks to this calculator which doesn't allow me to store previous answers.

The exam has 35 questions, needed to be completed in 120 minutes -which means an average of 2.9 minutes per answer. How absurd.

all around the world

2009-12-30T21:38:00.000-08:00

its now holiday, and im literally in the middle of people's mind and lust for something they found to be entertaining.

If you live in Mecca, you're mostly will be occupied by praying and worshiping Allah most of the time.

If you live in America, especially being a student like me, well in my case I tend to be occupied by going to these so-called popular attractions. It's like there's no other thing that we can be hyped for, except staying in this comfortable area in this pool of friends and snapping pictures altogether.

Perhaps the experiences we've gone through can be told to our children as bedtime stories, or to our friends who didn't have the chance to travel like us.

But it's nothing more than a friendliness vacation. We're drew closer, and it's true. It's one in a lifetime opportunity, and it's true.

This ain't what im looking for.

I'm a wonderer, stucked in the middle of people's want.

An alien on earth, trying to bark with the dogs but instead I meow-ed.Lol.

I should sleep early.

tomorrow's bus to New York needed me to wake up early.

when you are busy...

2009-12-04T17:22:00.000-08:00

...you don't even have the time for yourself. Unless....

Homeworks make us busy. I used to wonder why am I being sent here rather than middle east. The students over there in fact doesn't have assignments, homeworks, or paper researches!! All they have to do is preparing for the final exams.
Now that sounds cool. You wake up at the beginning of the day and going to the classes is just the one only thing related to the school that you have to do [And study for the finals of course]. This education system, which i adore, nets you hell a plenty of time in a day.
Unless here in Madison. It's raining homeworks. I've been living doing homeworks and attending classes in which i have no sense of accomplishment in doing so.

-just some useless bragging-kna btulkn niat, itu yg penting~

closer n closer it comes...

must study smart n hard!

teh fb story.

2009-11-30T23:17:00.000-08:00

FaceBook. Probably an essence of globalization. Some might say it's a powerful tool of the Novus ordo seclorum agenda. How have you been using Fb so far?

surprisingly my Fb account still exists. I was blog-sneaking until I found my friends' Fb ad. I clicked the ad and it tells me to log in my Fb account. And lol, my acc is being re-activated. I thought it's gone for good already. the lists of my friends is still there, my photos including those who had tagged me etc..

But that's not the case. I created my account early this year, and through many days i've been using them, Fb is more than just adding friends and keep in touch with em. I assume most of the time we're using Fb, we primarily do these 3 things: upload all the new photos after some big event, surfing photos of people, whether we know them or not, and dropping comments to anywhere we're able to: photos, statuses, application results n more~. Besides, we generally expand our network @ adding more friends and friends.
I'm not a big fan of Fb, thus i rarely drop any comments anywhere and these photos of mine are mostly being uploaded by my friends and I was happened to be tagged in those photos.

So what is the purpose of this post?
I don't know.Lol.

Just having some thoughts regarding the way we generally use Fb.
It actually wastes our time more than what we benefited from it. So, you people who're reading this and facebook-ing you leisure, please lessen your Fb activities for your own sake.

and yeah, I noticed that people Fb more than they blog. Where are you guys who used to write stuffs?lul.

a hardcore im not, a casual i am

2009-11-22T18:20:00.000-08:00

Shining black.
I bought this at a tag price of 250u$D.

After days of struggle on my first finance 300 mid-term paper, I was too exhausted. I suffered extreme headache during the last 25 minutes of the exam as my mind was wayy off the limits. The very next day I went to a GameStop branch at State Street, and hell yeah, brought this home with me without further thinking.
Its 50$ cheaper than the new ugly-looking slim model. Seriously, the model is an eyesore for me, despite what the attendant told me that this model is 1/3 lighter, 1/3 smaller, and 1/3 less energy-consumption. Let me add another one, 1/3 the elegance of the previous fat-shiny model.
Who gives a shit about a more-mobilized and more energy-efficient model. It's not like I'll bring my pS3 around with me. Besides, the electricity bill of my house recently just hit around 60u$D, which I think, is not that much expensive.
I've even had an argument with Meoi regarding when is the best time I shud buy this. He suggested that thanksgiving would be the time pS3 sales have the best promotion. Well, an addition of these games: Ratchet Clank and Little Big Planet, which I don't enjoy that much, is kinda indifferent anyhow...

Between the time I bought my pS3 and thanksgiving I had already net 216 trophies. So Meoi, your suggestions in gadgets are not always right. Personal preferences differentiate us people.lol.

So i'm glad that bought this at the first place.

Games I had finished(once) so far:

1. Killzone 2 [fcukn hard. I played on veteran in the first 4 levels and decided to lower the difficulty because of the difficulties of this game! fought for hours on the final boss and countless deaths. The girls went to my house when I was battling with the final boss. I ignored them.lol.because I was just thinking of completing this game. ]

2. Wanted: Weapons of fate [ finished overnight. super easy. abused the curving bullet ability]

3. Resident Evil 5
4. F.E.A.R 2
5. Red Faction: Guerilla
6. Ultimate Alliance 2
7. Unreal Tournament 3

Lol. I should stop playing shooting games.

2 heavy howemorks due tomorrow, and it's already 1.05am.

Get your Portable ID!

Adios~

2009-11-21T00:33:00.000-08:00

yup it is.

never mind.
I just completed the game Wanted in one night.
Gained 26 trophies from it. Woohoo~

2009-11-20T12:39:00.000-08:00

i'm having a bad day, and i don't know if it's getting worse or not...

What a damn mess!!!!

"There's nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." -William Shakespeare

The first quote that also appeared in the very first FFvXIII trailer.
Also the first quote from a genius and famous figure like Shakespeare that I would rather argue against.
Looking at this quote, I have these crossing my mind: MAybe Shakespeare thought that the entire world and what contained within it would be at a neutral basis, that there's nothing wrong or great about anything. As human's arrived, they began judging things as either good or bad. From the religious terms, things are either angelic or satanic. From there flourishes the human law; the term 'humanity' pops out, and our ancestors had long ago decided what humans can do and cannot do. But our surrounding changes as time flows. Many things that we perceived as bad and once was a taboo, had now becoming more accepted in society.
Well, I really have no idea what had happened in England when he lived and how the society had changed; what he would have observed that inspired him to create such an "idealistic" quote of his.
But I would have agreed with him. Our society, for instance, had this gender-blending that is becoming more and more obvious. I'll take fashion as a example. If decades ago women were to wear skirts and blouses and men wearing formal shirts with blazers and tuxedos (imagine charlie chaplin and who ever 1960-an woman you could come up with.lol), then what can you see today in a in your own classroom or anywhere? t-shirts and jeans, wore by both gender. Now if I'd say a female in the 1960's suited herself with t-shirts and jeans, it would look quite a bit awkward. Or in other words, people would have say she's a bad girl. Today these "rules" have changed and more and more girls I saw today has this same fashion pattern: jeans at the bottom and a long/short sleeve covering the top. An attire like this during your mommy's 'teenage' time would only be a signal for your daddy to slap your face (means it's bad).

Going back to the quote before, yeahh, the way people think changes the way things are perceived as good or bad. And thus the quote would be of a logical phrase that people would generally accept.

But how if we put religion into account. Does things can go back and forth between good and bad?
See, when people perceive things using their own logical and rational mind as the fundamentals of the judgment, it is hard to classify whether some things are good or bad. People define these terms based on their own judgment, thus has led the "human law" to exist.
Religion, on the other side, defies that good and bad are relative terms. Religion teaches what is absolutely good and vice versa, which then eliminates all these "human laws".

Perhaps Shakespeare didn't learn much from Christianity. A person with a magnificent mind, but how ironic, it's one-sided.

People who read this might also ask about how religion plays a significant role in our lives.
People who have their own set of beliefs or religion doesn't mean he/she is religious.
Islam by itself isn't a noun, but a verb. Even if we're Muslims by name, that doesn't make us a follower of Islam.

Another piece of mind, I think I should tweak this quote so that it can be quite, well, universal.

"There's nothing either a good or bad tool, but the way we use it makes it so." -Shader

Quite true huhh? Using facebook as a medium of networking is good, but to proudly display our beautiful, macho pictures so people would recognize us based on that, is not good at all.

Ohh, and I like

Ohh, a red. aint i say so.

Lets say you are stressed, and it bugs you and disturbs you a lot that you literally wanted to run away from anything that gives you tht headache. What would you do about it? Some people might take some break and do stuffs like fb-ing, or telling what they feel about to their friends, or maybe they would grab whatever they have in the fridge without noticing that it would only make them fatter, which is also leading to stress, and etc etc....

I've tried all of these, and seriously none of them worked. Well it does help a bit but not in a significant scale that I can sit back again to continue doing whatever I have to..[yeah, school stuffs]

Guess what I did then ?

I opened my ym list and told my mom.

She said,

study2 esok nak peksa
cemerlang2

How simple are those words, that it brings back all my mood to study.
ceria ceria =D

P/S:

1. Mums words are one of the greatest source of good energy, so have a try. It works for me though.
2. Maybe when you're in the midst of trouble you would realize you left something behind. Troubles often are silver linings.
3. Don't be lazy dude. You won't be credited for being that.

Reds in my room. I'm becoming more and more reddish

now's the nite before my linguistic 101 2nd mid-term exam. honestly i'm in no mood to revise nor studying for tomorrow's exam. have you ever have a feeling that you just don't know what else to read? it's as if i already knew everything when in fact i'm not in my best state of mind. Im not prepared yet. And i think linguistic is among the easiest subject to score A. the materials are not that complicated and by just looking at the code 101 (yes, 101 is the lowest subject code possible any school could ever have), believe me when i say it's easy. [ the code 101 is the main reason i took this subject. --- Human Language 101 --- .what the hell would I take '''human language''' if it's not because of the '''101''' ..??! ]
And thanks to Allah I'm still progressing good in this subject. Ohh, and the rest of my courses. (303 result was unexpected, though, but still okay..)

oWh, and the BAdgers are still strong! #3 in MidWest (?) aint half bad at all. At least I enjoyed watching Packers owning the Boilermakers (weird name), the Wolverines and the rest...
Go Badgers!

actually i have some plans to write about my brother's chronology regarding his, not just his, but us, uhh, 'setback'...
and about wisconsin. about my studies. about what I wanna do here. what my plans are.
guess it ain't good to keep it to myself. things that i wanna write way before..

i hope i still remember every bits of memory since 20th June till now...

so that people, including Akram, can read about his story from my point of view.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

mommy's request

2009-08-24T05:20:00.000-07:00

hye. My first entry post since I landed. Actually the internet connection was available from yesterday, and my mom's keep insisting me to show her how my bedroom looks like, so I took a few snaps of my tiny-miny half-ground floor bedroom, which I am quite satisfied with. Its cold
down here.lol. but I'm happy with it.

cadar nie makcik aisyah kasi nie. kena bwak gift balik utk die nihs

Nice isn't it? Boley blah jugak arr.
People here are surprisingly polite, and I didn't expect it to be like that. I remembered when I took the toefl test, there's the listening part in which the narrator are, obviously, americans, and their manner of speaking is just so, what should I say, almost perfect and smooth. I sense so much difference between manglish we always tend to hear and those of the americans. Then I think, "aaah, this line is just too perfect, maybe they read scripts so that the conversations would sound very polite and, perfect at the same time". But hell. I came here, and these americans have their english just so beautiful, just like what I've heard during the tests. It's fun to hear it, to be honest. hahaa...well, this is just a piece of my thought that I got recently upon my arrival here in wisconsin. Hell, im waaayy too far from having a good english, just like them. Gotta have some improvements while I'm in here.

I'm weighted at 65kg's!!!

Although this is like my weight target before, yeahh, I still can't believe I'm expanding this fast. This isn't right; I supposed to be at 65 with a six pack, not a rounded, swelling belly.lol.

Mr. Treadmill, I think you're gonna be a bit used from now on. Luckily I've got one in my home. My sister wanted it at the first place but it seems like I'm using it more than she does.

Oohh, my future daily routine would be like; running 3 km in the morning and 3 km before dusk..for a total of 6 km, burning close to 400 calories I guess..

Wayy long to go...I'm still wanted to maintain 65 but my shape is gonna be a bit, altered, I hope.

Visa prepared

2009-06-20T03:17:00.000-07:00

Despite the intriguingly time I've gone through, taking care of my little brother and sister, I had successfully nailed all the visa thingy. The most worried part, the visa interview, was surprisingly easy, and short too. Here I just wanted to share about all the things I've done. Its all about visa and I'll make it brief and easy to understand. Hope this will help those who haven't nail down their visas.

1. Well, if you haven't received the I-20 from your university, then don't ever think about obtaining the visa.

2. Payment: There are 2 payments you must make:
i- 200 Usd SEVIS Fee at www.fmjfee.com
Print out (!) the receipt directly from the website soon after you made the payment. This receipt is essential during the interview.
ii- 532 Rm of visa application fee at any Alliance Bank branches. Just ask the officer at the counter and they might know what payment you wanna make. There are, however, cases of the bank's worker didn't know what visa payment is, which is a bit annoying. You'll receive a yellow receipt, keep it for the interview.

3. Wait for a day, and then go to www.vfs-usa-my.com . Here you'll make an appointment for the day and the time of the interview. IMO, it isn't necessary to arrive at the US Embassy at the time of the appointment made because the reason they make you select the time is to avoid the building to be crowded. So, feel free to pick up the earliest time. You might get the advantage of skipping the line and get out early. Print out the appointment letter.

4. Fill in 3 forms; DS-156, DS-157 (for male only) and DS-158 and print it out. You shouldn't face any trouble filling in these forms.

5. You are almost done. Make sure you have 2 2'' x 2'' white-colored background photos. Passport photos aren't what they need.

Yeah, you're done. Now is what you should bring to the interview. Feel free to left behind unnecessary documents.

i- your Passport of course!!!
ii-the Alliance Bank yellow receipt
iii-SEVIS Fee receipt
iv-DS 156 with the 2'' x 2'' attached photo
v-another 2'' x 2'' photo
vi-DS 157 (males only)
vii-DS 158
viii-INTI final transcript
ix-ohh, I almost forgot....the printed appointment letter!!!!!
x-damn, I forgot this too...........I-20!!!
xi-a Jpa FAS letter

please check and re-check before you leave your house. You might not want to pay another 500rm for a visa re-interview just because you failed to bring at least one of these during the interview.....

feels like dream

2009-06-19T20:09:00.000-07:00

11th June 2009

its just another typical morning where I woke up and perform my suboh prayers. I went downstairs, with all the mixed feelings of sleepy, tiredness; all of my usual bad-morning habits I still couldn't discarded yet from myself. 2 months of holidays and I still couldn't see whether I had changed from worse to bad or from bad to worse. I sat on the couch, and i heard my dad talking with someone on the phone; probably one of his co-workers i guess. Father has been tooo buzy lately as he transferred to a new post at putrajaya. for more than 10 years, he had enough working at his ol' nuclear office. Well, at least he has a point; I could see and feel the boredom of working at the Agensi Nuklear Malaysia. I don't know, maybe it depends on people and how they relatively enjoy something. I've been there quite a time, and unless people had a previous life of enjoying being in the lab, loving science and make experiments, and were easily amazed by science lab and the stuffs inside it will most probably be at least, be happy staying there, and kept their job. Whatever, putrajaya provides a more friendly ambient for a working office, and have some great scenery too.
owh, back to where the phone conversation was happening, I heard my father mentioned about my brother's name. His voice was a bit loud, rarely would he talk with such tone. I sat down on the couch, and was so sleepy at that time, only then to hear my mother shouting and yelling about my brother. The sound of my mom crying stole my attention, instantly and that was the time when she cried like something really really bad had happened. Yeah, to my surprise, my mom kept gibbering 'abang accident, abang accident'. One of his friend had pulang ke rahmatullah, and my brother and his another 1 friend were in coma, and that seriously and really made me understand, super-clearly of the whole situation. I don't wanna talk about that moment, it sure is disturbing. Comforting my mom was the biggest challenge. Hell I know how I would do it.
Regardless of how the outcome of my brother would be like, the first thing I did to conform my mother was renewing her passport. Her passport was unusable for like, 10 years back? That way she would be at least, having the hope that she would fly to egypt and see my brother. Staying at home and doing nothing was surely awfully painful. Heck I couldn't imagine how my mother would feel like if she just was sitting ducks and do nothing while knowing her son was struggling on the verge of dying. Perhaps it was the best way I think, to take my mother out.
My mother still couldn't control her emotions even before the crowd. I caught some eyes staring at us; some of them were wondering eyes, curious of why my mother would exhibit such emotional display. Some of the eyes showed sympathy.
Anyway we managed to finished renewing my mother's passport in 2 hours, close to 10a.m.
Returning home, many of my relatives, neighbours and my parents' friends came by to pay a visit. How should I describe the moment, sorrow? The atmosphere was dull grey, it ain't fun at all. My parent was scheduled to depart at 8.30pm that day, and credits to one of my friend, Syazana and her parents for managing the flight ticket.
It wasn't a goodnightsleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since then my house and cellphone recieved a lot of phone calls, most of 'em asking the same thing; about my brother. I had to keep updating these guys and oftenly went to 7E to reload my cellphone credits as it drains to zero insanely fast.
My brother suffered what is called as brain oedema, but all I know about it is there is an accumulated brain fluid inside my brother's brain.
Now it is 9 days since the incident, and the good news is that the doctors said my brother would be transferred from the ICU to the non-ICU. I don't know what it's called, err normal wad? (wad baisa). Sounds good, eh? But the bad news is he's still "sleeping"...well, hopefully he'll recover fast. This house has changed a lot...

I possess a treasure I couldn't bear to lose..O God, please protect and keep this treasure together with me to eternity~
Or perhaps I still haven't possessed it.
Let it be; I would still claim that I had already possessed, even in reality I don't.
Because by doing that, I will grew appreciating this thing, the one that I've been looking for.
Sometimes I was blind, I couldn't see the truth underneath it, that before my very eyes , it's already there.
Is it abstract or material?
Why do I wanted it so badly?
Because of it's form? or maybe the substance inside it?
Am I sure of myself?
Could it be just another fallacy of life, of which I was, yet again being fooled?
Why am I still staying up at this very moment, at 2 a.m., of which I have an important appointment early in the dawn?
Is the question 'why' the most relevant of all?
Is happiness a relative term?
If it's not, then define why a bunch of students were happy with their 5A's in SPM while another group of students walk away in sorrow with 11A's and a B.
Then, can we say that truth is also a relative term?

The world is just a lie. Because there's one absolute truth out there that defines the ultimate question of "WHY?".

YP-P2

2009-04-20T23:32:00.000-07:00

dedicated, again, to Maisarah binti Abdul Kadir

amendment 011: shall I speak of something, thou trust not, as God is willing to do anything as He wants, beyond me wishing.

SAMSUNG YP-P2

After tons of researches and previews done in the Internet, I come up with a final word that I, WON'T buy a YP-P2 due to its catastrophic fiscal effect upon myself, despite the superiority of the features it promises to any music and gadget enthusiasts. Driving all the way to KayEll on Friday, a day before my first final paper for Malaysian studies, in which I scored the least for my coursework marks, risking my opportunity to get the green light from JpA, just to burn a hole in my pocket for the sake of my sister, is almost, err, stupid, I'd say (yes, failing in an Mpw subject, plus when you are already in the final semester, is seriously not a good sign, and it would distress you to hell as you have to (probably) take another 2-month Mpw class. lol. Tell me who on this 'blessing' earth would like it...). Hoped for the best in my finals.

So, emm, I solemnly have no idea how to talk about this thing. Lets just look some general information regarding this new gadget:

Price: Rm 379.00 (50% off - original market price is Rm 759.00, oo thanks to this delightful Pc Fair event) and credits to Mr. Fawwaz; his eyesight found this great promotion, hidden in one of those hundred pools in that giant hall

Storage capacity: 4GB (should've taken 8GB instead) -Num 2 checked-

Add-ons(?): a screen protector (screw this, I didn't know how to use it), an Mp3 holding-platform (see it yourself, I don't know any way in describing it), a Samsung software Cd (sorta like an audio and video player and converter, Samsung-made), a typical Samsung earphone (you own one, exactly the same), a USB cable (no comment, chargeable directly from plugs).

Life Span: the retailer claimed it to be 3 hours of videos, or 20+ hours of music, depending on the brightness and the volume set. Nevertheless, the original website of this product stated that it can be up to 5 hours of videos, or 30+ hours of music.
-Num 3 checked-

What's really cool: a 4Gb, 379rm, branded Mp3 with user touch screen interface feature!!!!

Biggie. Front , side and back view. Such a simple design.

-Num 4 Un-checked-
-Num 5 checked-

Home menu: 9 options to be started with:
videos, music, pictures, FM radio, datacasts, prime pack, file browser, bluetooth, and last but not insignificant, is of course the settings of this Mp3.
How to navigate: gently place your finger to those little blue dots and gently(!) sweep, either downwards or the other way.
Plus: There are another 2 menu styles, but this one's the coolest.

Now Playing display:

Starting from upper left, you could see the large music icon, a small play icon which indicates that the mp3 is on the 'play' mode. Beside the play icon, there should be a sequence of icons, which didn't appear on this picture beside.
The upper right displays the time and a 4-bar battery life indicator. Below these, are the folder name and how many music files comprised in that particular folder, as shown on the upper-right side.
Moving on to the center of the screen, there's the title of the song above the blue box, and inside the blue box, users could change between six different kinds of visualization, 4 of them being mere repetitive animations for the purpose of acting as an eye-candy, though I find that it's unnecessary to use these 4 visualizations as it sucks dry the battery power for no reason. While the other two gives a brief information about who the artist/band is, the album of the song, the genre itself, and a screen shot of the album's face lift.
How does the touch-screen interface plays its function on the blue box?
Well, sweeping your fingertips vertically will change the volume, and doing it horizontally will either change the song forward or backwards.
Below the blue box, is the type of Samsung's DNSe 2.0 equalizer the user's currently applying, and is changeable with only a single touch via the DNSe button at the low-right end of the screen. Then there's the adjustable song time-length bar, which is also friendly-use. Easy tapping, it will instantly change between the corresponded frame of the song.

Rather than commenting on each and every single thing visible on the screen, which I think is irrational, I would want to debrief on the quality of the sound, the easiness of using this cool device, extra features available, and the video quality as well, plus anything else if I accidently sorted it out.

Sound boom-ba::

Expect an unusual journey from the moment you place your earphone on your ears. It's like being in a concert, where the giant speakers is placed on the four sides of yourself. With Samsung's DNSe 2.0 technology, you have so much ear-candy equalizer to be choosen, with only a single press. The 3D-ness and the bass desible can be adjusted to a scalar of 4, which is a desirable amount for a pleasant listening. And there's the Street mode, which I actually don't really have a slight idea of what kind of difference it gives. Clarity, a new feature, simply changes the quality of the sound to a brand new level, something other products don't have, not even iPod or Sony. It's like being in a room where you can hear only the music itself, with zero disturbance of outside unnecessary noises. The downturn of this, is you won't be hearing people calling for you. All in all, excellent it is.

Rating: 4/5

Friendly-use::
A touch-screen interface device, what else do you expect? Traditions said that we've been living with buttons for decades, and this new technology is only a mere born chick. We can hardly find any gizmos with uses touch-screen to navigate through. Beginners of this technology may find this a bit cocky at the first place, everything is slippery and awkward. Not only must we look at the screen to navigate, it became difficult to transit between songs while you're about to sleep at night. A common MP3 player, preferably Sony only needs a small press on the 'next' button to change songs, and we can easily feel the button, especially in dark places. As for me, it's plain annoying and I wouldn't recommend this MP3 for those who're looking more to substance, rather than the form of it. The touching-the-'button'-on-the-screen process is slightly inaccurate, though this can be fixed by downloading and installing a newer version of firmware. The response of the MP3 to the touch is also, disappointingly, not exactly in "real time". There's a gap of, like .2 to .5 seconds I guess, making this a disadvantage to its rival, which is the famous iPod Touch. iPod Touch is tested to have the accurate response time as it promptly reacts at the moment you touch the screen.

Rating: 3/5

Video :::
What should I say, this one is a supreme killer of all other MP4's out there!!! With an insane 3" screen, it's just too big for a portable movie player, and yet the quality stands as high as the what blu-ray could give. You believe? Just kidding. But seriously, this MP3 could give you a digital, high definition quality screen to boost up your enthusiasm to use this device everytime you wanted to watch any videos or movies, and abandon your computer or television.

Rating: 4.5/5

Featuring??? :::

Too much to list it out. This MP3 possesses a broad area of additional functions that outstand other devices of its level. Say it out; games, fixing bugs, heck a lot that I'm too lazy to find it out. Maybe these links can be useful to my sister, the holder of a YP-P2.
-link- -link-

Rating: 5/5

Overall: 4.125/5 Oh. you've scored an A-!!

Despite being able to experience a touch-screen device, I highly recommend the Sony E-class over this, if you're looking forward into a long-life battery span, easy-use, small in size, great sound quality, and a mass 8GB storage for a reasonable price of 499rm. Also, I might say that this review is instead an incomplete one, thus what I posted in this review doesn't give a whole picture of what YP-P2 is made of..chill.

I'm actually gonna miss you damn hard.

oo my lamp in Inti, accompanying me whenever I'm in the midst of the darkness

oo my network to all the things I ever needed whenever I was badly in requiring it

oo my creamy-kissing icy foods which suddenly arrived on my side when I'm trembling close to fall into the drain out there

oo you who'd always hide inside the closet, eating and keep pooping till it's damn like a fragrance in my room

oo this place that made us be together during "fatten urself, please" time, err once?

oo the wild ride across the midnight stars like there's no line that were drawn between
"hey, its midnight, you should be on bed right now" and "wuts life? screaming with all your might on one of Putrajaya's arc bridge at 2am, just for the purpose of waiting for the cops to come and halau you balik"

oo boringness-killer of Inti

oo brief candle, for thou shall fade, I bring thee two winds of a kind to make thee fade faster, the wind-o the singers

oo because of you, I had-ta write a post especially for ya

rn tlmmz nrhh blf hl yzw, wzbn. LoL

oh, and define 'friend'- being a total jackass to them and they're still with you

end. beginning?

2009-04-15T08:29:00.000-07:00

the past 4p.m. of today just marked the end of my college life at Inti, whilst also marked the beginning of my long unplanned 4 months of absolute free time, a one damn long holiday that I wished I would do something new, and interesting too. First, I'm gonna get myself disciplined, either as an anybody I am. Then I'll leave it up to chances whether I'll be getting a job, be it anything, as long as it's exciting and would put an improvement on myself.
Today's Chemistry paper was surprisingly a "time-killer". So does LA; I had never expect myself to face insufficient time of answering all the qs; I think my brain was underclocked. lol. Never mind, it's over that matters the most =D

Yeaa.. and Chelsea went back from Alfield with their heads held as high as the blue sky XD

The Last Corridor -

Ain't you like it,
When you're hell out of here.
Ain't you feel distressing,
When you're away from the craziness of your friends.
Ain't you're encouraged,
When you knew you're gonna fly away from here.
Ain't you understand,
When you're gonna miss somebody, anybody.
Ain't you realized,
That this poem is stupefied?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.welcome.

..hey, i'm gonna borrow The Last Fortress (sp?) for awhile..
can I?

ain't this one of your favourite books?

reflection of epicness

2009-04-14T09:47:00.000-07:00

When you're in the peak of struggling yourselves and saw the limits of the sky...you'll brag yourself, and you'll question yourselves: "why am I doing this?", "Is this important for me anyway?", "Why persist? I'm just destroying myself altogether if I continue....". That exact moment, you'll realize that you were not born to this world to struggle for your dreams, so why the endless struggle? Why keep fighting? The wall in front of you is just too large, and to lift a single finger is just too hard for you....ahh,,so guess what? I'm gonna watch the 2nd leg of Chelsea Vs Liverpool quarter-finals match, and abandon chemistry for awhile. I don't possess a gifted brain, so perhaps hardworking will be my primary weapon tomorrow, hoping to finish revising untold informations of chemistry before 2pm tomorrow....

ohh..and this scene is just too hard to be forgotten.

Boring-ness is inevitable. And that's what I'm experiencing right now, right on each and every second I'm writing this post. It's not that I have nothing to do; I got linear algebra's final paper tomorrow evening. I felt that I had already knew everything I need to know. Unanswered LA questions scattered in front of me, on the table, whilst my 2.1 EVO 3 Pro is beating loud on my left, randomly playing 1700+ songs in my Winamp playlist, and now I'm sitting alone in my room as my roommate had gone to supper, thinking of how many chances and opportunities I had wasted; chances and opportunities to do some favour and help others. It's like playing soccer, wasting the chance of scoring a goal is like wasting a moment of your life. Every moment is unique; it will never ever be exactly the same, even if you (or I) have another same chance to compensate our actions, making the best out of us on behalf of others; it's just not the same any more. This is the perfectness of life. It's just goddamn good that time machines are never intended to be invented. Physicists who believed that time travel is really possible are evasively idiots. Screw you people who believed that the unknown 4th dimension is the so-called time. Dimensions are about freely moving "positively" or "negatively" within the 'line' of the dimension itself. It's just simple logic; we're living in 3 dimension, and we can either move front or backwards, which I assume is the x-axis, we can move left or right, or be it the y-axis, and we also can go up or down, in the z-axis. These are the three lines of the dimensions that can scientifically be explained and it is understandable, even for genuine idiots.

The idea of a dimension's line must be perpendicular to each other dimension's line is only limited to 3 dimension theory, and it's sort of impossible to make the 4th line in the above diagram. So now let us cut the crap of making a 4th dimension diagram by using 4 lines and
revert to the old argument; time is not the 4th dimension and until now none of us can prove it even is~ The argument is simple; stand on a floor, and step forward or backward, go left or right and jump whatever you like, or smash the floor to make yourself fall down; the fact is that you had successfully moved within the lines of dimensions, either positively [forward, right, and up] or negatively [ backwards, left, and down].

Indeed, a new 4th 'dimension' does have to follow the nature of these three known dimension. So, what is the behavior of time and how can time offer to our basic movements? The line of time can be separated from the 3D diagram, as there's no way we could make some coherence between the line of time and the 3D line above, diagrammatically. The line should be drawn apart. Put ourselves on the point of present, and, similarly as moving our asses from point A to point B in the 3-dimension space, how on earth can we freely travel forth or back within the timeline? It's obviously impossible, unless some genius can somehow technically come out with a blueprint of a time traveller device. Make the time machine a reality, then only can we bob up a new 4th dimension theory, time.
The 4th dimension is beyond the boundaries of our own world, it's a waste of time to think about it. lol. Perhaps metaphysics can be a methodology to explain the 4th dimension, rather than sticking the question in the world of physics. Ohh, and I'm just posting this as having a short break before re-revising LA. It's not that I wanted to reasonably debate or argue about this shit.

Which Samsung [<------>] MP3 for you??

2009-03-30T06:52:00.000-07:00

Dedicated to Maisarah binti Abdul Kadir.
and those idiots who are currently searching for a good MP3 and have no idea which one is the best to own....

amendment no. 167: "thou art an idiot wif subnormal sentiment whenever thee envisage me as a generous mortal whilst me bought mp3 for me sis"

translation, again, for idiots: I'm greedy, and I'll bought a present for my sister if and only if she obtained 10A1s in her 08' SPM, which she actually did. The question that arose was, Should I say "damn!"?

Congratulations for successfully forcing me to buy you something and so far being the only person in the family with a perfect record in all general examinations, except for PTS:P. May your great achievements be in an incessant manner. Amin~. The logo at the left replaces your initial craving of getting an I-Pod Nano instead. At a four-digit price, absolute ridicule is the only word that describes your insane desire. A 50rm worth of Mp3 would be suffice, but for 10A1s, I'll feel guilty if my present would be that cheap. Cut this crap, because gadget-enthusiasts such as Meoi and Kero will leave this post unread-till-the-end if they spent about a minute without gaining any useful informations regarding g.a.d.g.e.t.s. and yet they found nothing but only the amendment no.167 up there. lol.

Her 1st desired model: Samsung YP-T10

The P2 has a 16:9 wide screen display which delivers a movie theatre experience while you're watching movies.

Rated by me as - 100/5!!!!!
Price: most probably the most expensive, but still unknown

Eventually she felt that it is not good and nice to burn a hole the size of mother-earth on my pocket, so she resorted to the introverted and humble Samsung YP-U4 as her last choice.

Design: A premium USB type MP3 player, 13mm-thick (thicky), 27.5g-weight (lightest), available in Navy Purple, Crystal Rose or Ocean Blue color. and a small display screen.

Price: cheapest, but as usual, n.a.

There goes all the 'big' four of your choices. And I'll try my best to drag my ass to the unveiled 10-12 April KLCC PC Fair. Choose any MP3 you liked the most, (saw the sad vision of $$$$.$$ flew away from my pocket; the saddest thing is it can reach RM1k T_T) but do take in consideration what ayah & mak would respond to this; there's an unknown possibility that I would cancel all my words due to mommy and daddy's advice. And promise that you would:

1. Be a nice girl
2. ----------------- - - -
3. No foul languages anymore. lol.
4. Have a super duper heart.

before dreaming on getting any MP3s from me. Huahuahua....

For months, or probably years I've been using Windows Live Messenger as my main instant messaging application, I haven't been able to figure out the way on how to show what musics I was listening to since I'm one of Winamp's most dedicated and loyal user=). In case if you still disn't follow what's the meaning of this babbling crap, WLM or bahasa rojaknye 'msn' can only detect what songs that were being played via Windows Media Player (WMP), and Winamp doesn't exhibit this cool feature. I have to make some simple yet confusing 'tweaks' on the msn's plug-in. Again, I'm just having another boring moment so I guess I'll just kill some time posting this, devoting it to a particular group of people who're sharing the same stupid interest as I do.

Follow these simple steps without flaw and you're done:)

Firstly, have the Messenger Plus! Live software downloaded and installed.

Secondly, have the Now Playing- Script Database feature downloaded and installed.

Later, open the conservation window, and click on the Messenger Plus! logo. For idiots, this picture will guide your idiocy towards the end:

The one marked in orange box is the Messenger Plus! logo and the green box is the one you have to click on to arrive at the configuration window.

On the main tab, make sure the main player is set to Winamp and not the other players. It's super easy, right?

The final step is to ascertain that you've checked the one and only box on the PSM tab, as picturized below:

Done! And have a good night sleep.z_z.

Why such a title? Because today I spent a total worthless, temporary moment to keep me cheered up at the cost of 35rm. Just kidding. I actually went to Alamanda this night, and was supposed to go there and enjoy "the" movie yesterday night, but my friends for some reason were lazy last night, so the trip was postponed. I didn't take my breakfast this morning because I woke up at noon, and my mother scorned and scolded me for what I did, via telephone. Sorry again, Mak. My lunch costs 6.20rm and before dusk we went to play futsal for the third(!) time this week. Such permissive defrayal shouldn't be happening; imagine I payed 9rm to play Futsal for an hour in a closed court at Salak when I can actually play Futsal for free at my campus(inti) for unlimited hours! Peer habit, and I'm the victim who was unconciously been influenced to pretend living like an 'anak orang kaya' like him, except he's actually rich and I'm not. So that's roughly 15rm in total I guess...I scored several times, and that's more than enough to make my flying 9rm worthful...

Arrived at Alamanda at 9.30pm and watched this movie with the cost of another 9rm, making the total expenditure so far was 24rm:

John Cena's first movie I guess, and I didn't expect his voice to be that 'big'. Haha. What actually attracted me to see this movie was the preview of the synopsis; Danny(John Cena) as a police guy trying to save his girlfriend from an ingenius villian, and this anagonist made the entire chase sorta like a game -Danny had to accomplish 12 rounds (looked like 12 full-of-riddle missions for me:)) in order to save his pretty girlfriend. This movie is rated 18SG, but there's nothing in 12 Rounds that can be classified as violent. Probably the most violent scene, in my opinion, is the scene when that fat guy fell off together with the elevator from floors above (ooops! spoilers detected). This part may be disturbing especially for preoperationally-immatured children that by any slight chances, it could cause "elevator-phobia" or "lift-phobia". I guess, lol. You'll see rich of unceasing action-styled scenes, and I recommend this movie over ALL other movies if you planned to enjoy yourselves at the cinema. I also barely made it early to the cinema hall and caught my view, in time, on Transformers 2's sneak peak. It's one crazy must-watch shit, and I seriously have no doubts that Transformers 2 with ease will be the movie of the year.

The last 11rm went to the pockets of the fat guy Mr Colonel KFC. Shouldn't I be boycotting KFC? Damn it.
And before I go to sleep, for all 3D Space Cadet Pinball fans, this is my all-time best personal score: 119,579,500!

Well, have a good night sleep.z_z.

the wait

2009-03-28T02:48:00.000-07:00

Geez, looks like my decision to stay in Inti this weekend is bad after all, because I never felt super boring like this! While my friends were busy with whatever they're doing, I just sat alone in my room and listened to Ayumi Hamasaki's.

Yess, the Most-Listened Song award goes to.....Two of us by Ayumi Hamasaki! Actually the count is not entirely accurate and is not reliable as there are many songs that appeared more than once in my playlist. Eg. Fall Out Boys- American Suitehearts appeared 5 times in my playlist so....ahhh,,I'm just in the midst of utter boringness. Ohh,,,my friends are calling me to play Futsal!! Got to go..=)=D

the "Pro"ton MPV preview.....

2009-03-26T06:47:00.000-07:00

In this recent times we've been rumored (well, not actually rumored because it's been confirmed) with one of our national "pride"s, Proton making its first multi-purpose vehicle(MPV). When it was announced that ProtonEdar will produce yet another new model, I had doubts, and I bet others share the same thought as I do. Looking back at the previous models such as Gen2, Persona, chancellor(?)("cancel-lorr"!), these models are no different as in the facelift, interior, and the quality control of the car, when compared to the early 85s and 90s of protons' models. Technology is supposed to grew in an increasing exponential manner and this fact is 100% true!.. and yet the trend of the development of proton in building cars, however, is upside down! (This is also close to be 100% true!)"Hey, you're just basicly trolling, and there's nothing there are to prove your stupid arguments." Chill man, I'm just giving a kinda prelude to what I'm going write...and this is not a full review of Proton's brand "grand" new MPV; this is just my own, repeat again, own preview...

ExOrA preview-ed:

First, the name itself. Why, not how, the heck did proton came up with this name? Well of course proton somehow picked this one name from the million ideas the rakyat Malaysia had gave via the name-the-proton-car contest. And I'm pretty damn sure that my memories are not half-deficient yet; one of the rules in the contest is roughly like this:

-the name must be a WORD! and have a MEANING!, a good one.....

....and yet they chose the word "exora" as the most appropriate name for the new MPV, most probably because it sounded good(?), not just good but they thought it is the best among the best compared to the other names that came up, and feminine-like too(?) [MPV=feminine?]. Another probable reason is Proton wanted the name to have an "-a" end thus it would share the same rhyme with almost the other protons' names (excludes Gen2, savvy- how did these names existed in the list of protons' cars? surprisingly dolt!).

Here's the thing, is 'exora' even a word? No, it isn't. But people had claimed that the word 'exora' arises from another word, 'ixora', a name of a flower, so what's the problem?. Bah, you can connect 'exora' with thousands of other words and blindly make simple assertion about the name but the fact still remains that 'exora' is not a WORD(!), which brings us to another "Proton disgraced-truth", if 'exora' is not a word, then how on earth can 'exora' have a least a bits of meaning in it? A flower name? stupid. What about 'keriangan keluarga' that was the tag line of this name? Tagline is not exactly the meaning of 'exora'; it is simply another aspect that can be judged by Proton in case 'exora' popped more than once, so this concludes the fact that 'exora' still remained 'meaningless'. Screw you Proton for making your own rules you didn't follow it yourself!

"E.X.O.R.A."

Second, Exora's design. Judge it yourself from the pictures below. And I put another competitor in the same level of Exora, Nissan Grand Livina. Why Grand Livina? Look at the specs of both cars below:

Proton Exora:

Engine: Automatic 1.6L Campro CPS with 125hp at 6500rpm, 150Nm at 4500rpm torque output
Capacity: 7 adults
Price tag: Rm 76000 hi-spec
Special features: Quite cabin. Small turning radius etc... Just for car noobs. I have almost no reason to put these kind of informations here.

2008 Nissan Grand Livina 1.6 A:

Engine: Automatic 1.6L DOHC 16-valve with 105 hp at 5,200rpm, 150Nm at 4,400rpm torque output
Capacity: 7 adults
Price tag: Rm 88600/ Rm96000++++ 1.8L
Special features: *yawn* Electronic Brakeforce Distribution etc....

p/s: Because of the quite insignificant difference in the price tag and having almost the same engine power, both car can be considered a competitor to each other.

left: 2008 Nissan Grand Livina right: 2009 Proton Exora

The facelift of both car. Having almost the similar headlight, GL has a more striking front grill, while Exora maintained the 'trademark' of Proton's front grill, no different from other Proton models.

Interior looking: GL's hi-spec combines grey and cream-colored theme ambient, instilled with brown 'wooden' on it's steering and the dashboard, significantly buffing the 'luxuriority' of the model. Exora, on the other hand, has a one-colored interior, dull black colored. Both shared quite a moderate design on the rear passenger seat.

From the inner rear view.

Now you can clearly see the absolute difference in both cars.

The view from the driver's seat: The instrument cluster is not best viewed from here and I couldn't get the best picture for this. Exora's steering instilled with the audio-tuning button feature, unlike GL's.

Any final words? Well, to say the truth, Nissan Grand Livina surely beats the fuck out of Exora in terms of the design. I don't quite understand what's going on in Proton's R&D. Since 1985, and being a car manufacturer for more than 20 years, you can only come up with this crap? Again, screw you Proton, for being arrogant and ignored us Malaysian customers. Upcoming the official launch of Proton Exora, I can't feel any hype for this car, simply because this crap didn't make me stunned, amazed, or at least say "hey, not half bad". Threw away those old-fashioned minded people working in Proton's R&D, and take in the new fresh engineers in design, because I'm super convinced that there are a lot of people worth more than those imbeciles to work in the R&D. With the Rm 10k difference, people should go for GL because of the giant leap in the quality design.

"Huh? You're a Malaysian citizen and you say these towards you own country's product? Go to hell, boy! Where's your patriotism?"

"Yes, surely I'm a Malaysian and I'm proud to be one. But I'm a Malaysian with the heart of a customer. So guess what? I rather buy a japanese-made car because Japan knew what's best for their client, and I had enough giving my pity towards Proton because they never learn anything from the million mistakes they have made!!"

Yeah, finally I could manage myself to turn my ugly-looking blog into a brand and fresh looking one. My "templating your blogs" post was rather useless and didn't really help anyone, including me(lol) except for someone. Perhaps no one had ever bother to customize their blog page, maybe because they can't appreciate the beautiful design of a blog-page, or maybe they are idiots who doesn't have any idea what HTML shits are. Bah, what do I care anyway.

Anyway, I just signed up for Nuffnang, a community consists of a pool of bloggers who crave for money (not really 'craving' but what kind of person on this freakish earth doesn't want easy money anyway?) And I don't have the slightest idea where the money can be gained from. Which leads to another in-mind conflict; can I use the money IF I managed to earn a bit from Nuffnang? Well, lets just wait and see if someone is generous enough (and islamic-wise of course) to leave a comment regarding this "halal VS haram" munnie conflict...

Tag no1

2009-03-15T16:23:00.000-07:00

okay, let me get this straight...1st post in 4 months, 1st in 2009.
never let such thing procrastinated, in this context, being tagged by someone.
Honestly, what's the rule of tagging people anyway??

The person who tagged you is?
Irfan Abdul Razak, both a friend and my neighbor since childhood

Your 5 impression towards him

i- hardworking, lately
ii- big guy,huh.....go n dunk lar
iii- fascinated by technology sure suites you as a future engineer
iv- hardcore gundam fan?
v- very enthusiastic and focused about certain things....and when he does....

the most memorable thing he had done to you

stepping into SBPI Rawang with his comrades and beat the crap out of us sepintarians 65-35
and 25-12 the next game during HKSBP. If only he wasn't in the InterSaber team..

If he becomes your lover, you will.....
[?]

If he becomes your enemy, you will.....
just snub him lar

If he become your lover...he should need to improve on....
[skips the question]

If he becomes your enemy...the reason is....
of course if he "steamboat-ed" me, ahahaa

How do you think the people around think of you?
never think about it. why dont you ask them instead what they think of me...

The character of your self is....
taking almost everything 'unseriously', perhaps

The most ideal person you want to be is....
that guy who could keep his promises and responsibilities

For the person who cared or liked you, say something
i love you

this is an incomplete response for the tag; I'm just too lazy to do the rest...
guess I post the other two "tagged" posts when i feel like to
coz got some white pages of linear algebra yet to be read until tomorrow,lol..

2008-11-09T06:37:00.000-08:00

Beware : IF YOU DESIRED ON HAVING AN ABSOLUTE STUNNING AND EYE-CANDY LOOKING OF YOUR OWN BLOG THEN YOU MAY PROCEED TO LEARN. OR ELSE DON'T DARE DRIVE YOUR MIND GOING CRAZY FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THIS EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY LESSON!! -learn through experience, this is the time!!-

Have you ever played Lego before? Well, playing with HTML codes is definitely not like you play Lego when you were kids, because it's EASIER! Yeah, I know, just looking at the HTML codes losses your mind; it happened to me too, at the beginning lah, now I think I can fool around with those codes:p An important message: you are not going to type the whole damn code, it's just humanly impossible. You are just going to cut-and-paste some computer-language words into those complex HTML codes, and it's doable, even for the most idiot person in computers!
This post is for super-beginner computer users, because I admit that even myself am new to this.
Okay, enough of this bullshit intro, lets focus on the main topic.

First, go to the layout tab, then search for "Edit HTML".

Now, you can see a bunch of nonsensical codes. These codes are generated by computers, not humans! That's why we are not going to crack the whole thing, just doing some small editing on those codes.

STEP ONE!!:
Before you proceed, you might want to consider having a 3-column template instead of two. Click +here+ and choose your desired one, though the choices are limited. If you are comfortable with your current template, be my guess, and proceed to STEP TWO!!. There's nothing wrong with that anyway.
For those who were excited to change to their new templates, copy those XML/HTML you obtained from the website and paste those codes at that big box, patently named "Edit Template".
Backup your widgets (gadgets) [Recommended!! It's very tiresome to edit all your cool gadgets back over again. *click here to know how* .This may be a bit puzzling, so if you still couldn't understand then forget backup-ing the gadgets; you can just edit the gadgets after you obtained your new cool 3-column template=D. Its easier though.]
Save your template and try to have a new look on your blog:)

STEP TWO!!:
So whats next? Hey, having an Audi R8 or some butterflies, kittens, and abstract patterns as my background surely looks super cool!!!

Now lets go to that nonsensical language box (the "Edit Template" one) and then search for the background section. You just have to scroll down for a few seconds until you find this:

(damn, the pic's a bit blurry) I labeled it with two boxes; the red box indicates the color of your background. You can choose a variety of different colors of your background +hey, click here for colors+ .Just copy the code of the color and paste it at that red box, and try to have a look on your new background color. Easy, right?

Just changing the colors does not beautify your bloggie until heaven. That's when the green box plays role. As you can see, the green box contains a web link, so what you must do is just google the image of anything you want as your background (I recommended google-ing a 1280x1024-sized image as it will nicely fit into your laptop screen, a 14.1'' inch-sized screen. My background picture is not sized at 1280x1024, so you could see repetitive images. Many people used this screen size laptop anyway:)) Copy the link of that image and paste it at the green box. Congrats, you've completed another simple task!!

Wait, the image will keep repeating as I scroll down the page of my blog!! Relax, here's how to solve it:
At the same place as when you edit your background, change the phrase "repeat-x left top" in the blue box to "fixed". Yeah, done already!

STEP THREE!!:
Now, after making up your background, doesn't it sounds stupid if you can only see your new background just at the side? Because your background is still blocked off by the posts in the middle, so you see only the sides of your background. The goal of step three is to make your posts a bit transparent so that the entire background of yours is look-able. Now, search for the content-wrapper section inside the big box. It just take a few seconds scrolling down from the background section until you found it.

As you can see in your own HTML code, there's no command for opacity in your content-wrapper section (the yellow-underlined). Add this command: " opacity: x ; " . x refers to the opacity of your posts, in which .0 is completely transparent and 1.0 is completely opaque. I think .7 is just nice to balance between the opacity of your posts (the posts are still readable although it is a bit transparent) and the "look-able" of the background.

Done doing these things? Then click "save template" and enjoy your new superb-looking blog.
Feel free to leave any comments regarding this post or if you have any trouble designing your blog xD.....

p/s : You may encounter some bugs (not insects; but glitches, or to easy to understand, bugs are errors) while attempting this. Your background, at the slightest chance, might turn white as what happened to me at the first time I'm doing this.
Using different web browsers also have some unpleasant effects. I recommend you to use Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer because the transparent effect seems to disappear when you use Internet Explorer....well that's it.

a week in memoir-of-life

2008-11-03T16:08:00.000-08:00

Damn i left blogging for almost 15 days, and i can feel the thirst of blogging is disappearing little by little; also my willing to write is diminishing, and so does the impact of my story. So many things happened back there, during my unconditional busy days; some moments i'd gone through are just plain wild. And when i think back, damn, did i really did that?? Nothing was enormously astounding and incredible, but it was truly awesome (what's the difference between astounding-incredible and awesome anyway??). Some too are nightmares; I just want to forget it. Anyway, this is how my last-last week till last week was:

26th & 27th October 2008- I'm the big manager. Of what? The Grand Open House 2008 of Bandar Baru Bangi. My open house. That night I struggled 3 hours at the kitchen preparing for tomorrow's big event, and I even accidentally cut my finger while slicing the tomatoes. Damn I seriously had no idea how tired i could be that night. If three hours of working would be that tiresome, I just couldn't imagine how much hell I would go through the following day.

Sunrise. Instead of a pair of hand, my parents got an additional two pair of hands as an extra workforce, both are my college friends, what is more, both were girls. C'mon, kitchen job, although the greatest chefs in the world were XYs, but my friends from this category doesn't seem to look like they could lend a hand, so I picked those who were XXs. They did their part pretty well, not because they were super-skillful, mother-like cookers, but because what they did were actually something even a tenth-ranked chef could easily do; tearing up the chickens' essence into pieces, inserting the yellowish cream into the yellowish puff, making it a thing called cream puff, slicing the cakes and jellies, FOLLOWING, NOT SELF-INSPIRED LIKE A TRUE CHEF, my mothers instruction of making the chicken mushroom soup of the day [no wonder that soup tasted great although it was originated from the hands of you girls], carrying the plates, arranging all those things on the table etc..
Hahahahaa, hey, I was teasing about that 10th ranked thingy, don't take it seriously, just take it partially-serious for future lesson :p. You girls have done a totally great job back there. Thanks a lot Syazana and Azyan=)=)=).
One of my friend's (girl) family had actually came, and I'm glad with that. A coincidence, without us planning this, happened. Enough said.
There was this one time when my parents' long-last friend from UK said something so loudly that sounded like "waaahhh, Shafiq dah ****** ....~~~". WTHeck, do you have any idea how that made me so embarrassed in front of other people! Maybe bdak2 laki don't get it, but I am so damn sure the girls saw that..
The work was non-stop, and made me extremely exhausted, and even led me to have a 2-hour nap from 5.30pm till 7.30pm. Anyway, I'm satisfied with all the hard work that directly came from my own hands, because I rarely am a hardworking person, and thanks to those who made it to my house. And thanks to Has and Fawwaz, you know what you did...

--------makan3, collegemates-------

28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, October, 1st November 2008 - Psychology marathon was surely a nightmare; being in the library continuously for three days from 9am till 1pm, short break, then continue till 6pm, focusing only on the psychology text book on those hours, trying to understand every single word inside that book, and the following word, and making sense of it, memorizing a 300-page half book, full of information, was just hell(!), because I never tried to understand those things written in that psycho book during classes and after classes with my puzzled head, I never had that initiative to even look back at what I'd learn in those classes, and I have to push myself in those three days doing this!! I swear I had never did such thing as staying in the library, revising for 6-8 hours for three consecutive days. This was my first time. Hard work pays, I hope. Sadly, my acc202 isn't a 4.00 as I hoped.

4th November 2008 - *what happened in these days huh???* the merge of a long holiday of course, and I went ice skating for the first time of my life.

What exact word could describe the first 30 minutes of my life standing in there? Stressful! yeah, believe me, it was really nerve-wracking, because I had to tawaf that ice field holding the bar side for the first round, and soon after i let go my hand, I lost my balance. Dammit, the way I tried to catch my balance back was just embarrassing. Flapping my hands like some baby bird, doing some ugly ballet dancing in the midst of everyone, just to keep my body from landing on that slippery, ice-shining and freezing-cold surface was just stressful! Seriously, i felt that the whole people inside there were watching at me at the moment i'm dancing like an idiot-newbie, trying to cope with this "extreme" sport. But honestly I don't care even I fall thousand times, because I knew that this is a trial-and-error conditioning. Either I brace my pair of legs to drive myself into the middle of that ice field, or just stand like a chicken at the corner. It took me around two hours to really ski like a beginner, and i still occasionally loss my balance. I don't mind; for this very first time, i just dare to show the people that I'm an idiot in this thing. Then I can learn to better myself, trying to improve my balance and speed. Staying too long inside there freezes my leg to death....

1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th November 2008 - (other occasion, a cherished moment, time is short but maximized)

the 7rm buffet night!!

2008-10-23T09:03:00.000-07:00

chronologically, it's like this:

1.04a.m. (accounting-ing)--->
Gosh!! I'm just hours away from the last test of this semester. I guess i'll be having a break for a while before continue studying. It's just two chapters that will be coming out but somehow I felt its damn too much for me. Reading doesn't help me a lot, coz i'll forget everything!! so what's the purpose of reading it at the first place when i will end up remember almost nothing..rite?...and at the same time my friends can't seem to stop coming in and out of my room, which is a bit distracting. Have a break, write something, c'mon!

[5 hours ago]... A bunch of guys ready to take flight to MCS gathering night a.k.a. jamuan makan before revising accounting for tomorrow's test. from left (i made a brief description about them in case you still don't know them or part of them): Nik Hareez [saser](guitareez, Myvi-eez, novelrissa-eez), junaidi [smk sg kertas] (extreme sleep-a-holic; everytime i looked at him in the class, he'd already fall asleep, except in the pic below, you're so lucky this time!), pawaih [Ksah] (anak datuk, anak doktor, anak soleh, anak.....), afiq [shah pekan](VVVIP!!), razman [mrsm PC] (yo!), rizwan [mrsm jasin] (our nasyeed singer in Inti, now he's making an album of himself under UNIC Recordings, hey, i'm promoting him!!Malaysia's future Raihan i guess) n hafyyz [sbpi sb] yg suka brmacho2 dgn drinye sendiri

This is taken from the rooftop above MPH. Just minutes later, a Golf GTI parked down there, and i found out that it belonged to the JPA juniors. Kids nowadays unimaginably are getting richer. Even my friends drive malaysian-local-product cars...

Just taking a snap during makan2. I wanted to take the photo of the foods they served but there's too many people rushing at the food counter. It's a not-all-you-can-eat buffet because the plate they provided was too small for me to put all the foods I wanted, and i'm lazy to line up back, all the way behind everyone. luckily the 'menjamu selera' session is at the beginning of the party, and after all that's what i came here for. finished eating, then we get the hell out of here!! books are waiting for me at my room. overall, the mihun is the best!

1.38a.m.I'm getting sleepier (z_z). Yet i still haven't finished putting all of these accounting-thingy in my head.a bit more...

View from where i sit: oct 23rd, 3.00p.m., the last class for this semester; more precisely, the very last class for 2008!! enough is enough, no psychology classes anymore.happy ending:)

While my other friends brought the psychology textbook, i brought this to the class. far more interesting and understandable than that psychotic book though=)! don't misunderstand, i just misplaced my textbook that i bought for 40rm,so i randomly took this book to class with me coz there's no other damn books i could bring with.dammit,i could have enjoyed 4 McD meals worth 40rm!!

2.05a.m. keh.lets finish what i have started.study lolzzzzz..so sleepy~~

Never ever again go to any pc workshop....

2008-10-22T03:25:00.000-07:00

It's out of my original purpose. My friends were interested to attend this one computer workshop, or easy saying, it's a computer class for dummies. At first, we thought that if we participate in this workshop, we will be provided with a certificate, proving that we had already knowing about computers, and that is what we actually wanted at the first place! not coming to a 3-hour session, sitting like frogs and listening something we are not interested to.who wants to do it anyway... And at the same time, we don't need to take computer classes for one whole semester (bam!!), which is so irritating and boring, which is what my other friends told me about that class.

so at 3.30pm that day we went to the place that supposed to be the venue. Its a computer lab, and so i was like walking in front of the rest of my friends when we arrived at the door of that room. Then this one black guy suddenly came out, and directly asked me whether i came there for the workshop or not. At that time, 2 of my friends that walked behind me had already ran away, leaving me and my other friend alone, hahahaaa, damn you guys. So i said yes. And he greeted me in, but before entering that room i asked him if attending the workshop would promise us with certificates=D, and that's my main plan after all, (in fact, it's my friends' plan actually) ask him first about the sijil!! no certificate means no reason to go there lah.true?of course laa:P then he said "no, kid, this workshop is just for general knowledge only".huh,what???mission accomplished.lets go back and sleep.......

out of nowhere, i just have this guilt feeling, because i was 'lectured' by that black guy just before i could walk away. he said to me like this "getting a certificate should not be the ultimate reason to come here, bla3" and whatever he said to me that i can't remember.
to make the story short, i decided to stay there while my other friends disappointedly, dragging together their crushed hopes of walking back with a roll of certificate, went back to their rooms and did their stuffs..

sitting in front of my computer

as i'm the only malay guy inside there, i have no other friend to sit next to...

the first session in that workshop is learning about powerpoint 2007, and they teach some basic stuffs about powerpoint which i had already know, like opening a new slide and bla3.. and they even show us "this is the office button, the ribbon, moving the quick launch button above and below the ribbon, this and that...." things that doesn't make sense to me. why do you have to teach these things??it's not important at all and for average users like us, learning and knowing these things will not make us a better powerpoint user, and that's what they'd been teaching for about 20 minutes. I've never have wasted 20 minutes of my life for things like this. Playing games for 20 minutes is also a waste of time, but at least it entertains me a lot.
the most 'beneficial' thing they taught us about is animation. this thing makes the words or anything inside our presentation flying here and there in a cool way on the screen as we desired. but the most stupid thing about powerpoint is the sound effect. as we click for the screen to appear, sounds of rocket engines, quacking of ducks, even people snoring, appear out of nowhere. Imagine we are presenting something, and these sounds just come out, doesn't it sounds stupid, and makes us look stupid?maybe it's just me, but well, it's just my opinion.

Our tutor, Mr Vijay, working out on his boring workshop. I don't wear specs btw. Guess whose?

There used to be 5-6 people sitting here. They ran away before the 2nd session started. See, they also think this workshop is truly boring!!

The second session started around 5pm. This time they taught about Microsoft Words 2007. Mr Vijay went out, so a group of Nigerians replace him. So there's another hell of an hour to go, and frankly speaking, these Nigerians speak improper english. I'm not saying they are bad in english, it's just that they doesn't sound like african-americans do, and sometimes its kinda hard to catch what they're saying to us. I'm not generalizing, and not all Nigerians speak that way, so no offense to them. There's one time they said "to convert letters to PAKIS, PAKIS..." huh? what? pakis? what type of english are you speaking?? I was puzzled for a long time, trying to figure out the word that sounds P.A.K.I.S.. I'm not good in vocabulary, and i even suck at english (look at my ENL101 grade, it's a C+ though >_<), so I assume it's an english word. Hahahahaa..the word PAKIS is actually uppercase (what really happened in my brain~s sound translation and coordination: the sound "up" disappeared, "per" became PA, and "case" bacame KIS, that's how PAKIS appeared!), how dumber I could be, I don't know.funny. For you readers who still don't know, to convert any word from lowercase to uppercase without rewriting it using caps lock or holding shift, just highlight the word and press shift+F3 two times. Pressing it one time only change the first letter of that word. CONGRATS!! you've already learned something new by reading this.

Well, at least I've learned something new from this workshop, and i think the most worth "general knowledge" i've gain is the PAKIS thingy, which only takes less than 10 seconds to be learned, in which i wasted more than 2 hours of my life attending this class just to gain something so insignificant .worth it??.like hell it is!!

so far oohh

2008-10-20T17:46:00.000-07:00

a comparison graph i made between me, pawaih and has,,of the marks of tests and quizes for psychology class we take this semester (its kinda blurry a bit so those who wear specs may have trouble seeing it w/o specs)...

i choose pawaih and has because their marks are easy to compare, and also very high at the same time,,,cheeky bastard genuises,hahahaa....
and,,yeaa ,don't expect high on me,
in the graph, the red colored one is me, you can see clearly right??? the low-low one tu laahh..

i still havent manage to pass the 80% barrier, unlucky for me, because i'd promised my parents to score 4.00 this semester, after i got the worst GPA last semester. but luckily miss Bianca, my psychology lecturer give me and the rest of my classmates a chance to get a 1% bonus mark. She told us to make our own inkblot, in case you don't know, the one that you spread watercolors at one half of a piece of paper and then fold it half.. and tadaaa you get a symmetrical and colorful pattern on your paper..sounds easy right, for 1%...but its not free....my friend bought that watercolor just for this homework, and he charges 1rm for anyone who wants to use it. what the hell? more than 10 people can use that watercolor, and its not like the watercolor is going to run out before everyone can use it....he bought it at 6rm,so if 10 people used that damn watercolor then he had already make 4rm!!! and i remember that that watercolor was still x habes,,and as far as i know 6 people used it, including me, so as my other friends spent 1rm for 1%, he gets 1% for free, and still keep the watercolor!!!..
but i don't care even if i have to spend money to get bonus marks, provided that i had already loss 11 marks for my coursework, and i have to keep my promises, 1rm is nothing, just charge me 2,3rm,, i'll still don't care...i'll pay it...
4.00 is 85%.yess, 85%!. and i've already loss 11 marks, and that doesn't include my assignment marks yet..and there's final exam still.....shit!the hell with it...its impossible to score 85% at least, unless i'm a super genius who can score full marks in my final.enough said.full stop.
