Good News

Good news for all the Foundation students. I could see the joy of everyone's face, when the news was spread. It is because our presentation and report, which I was telling that I was working on, has finally been postponed for the students to hand in. To see more details, the bottom image will let you know the a clearer understanding.

Anyway, why so many students were also happy is because Thursday is the UNIM SIFE Fashion Show which will be held at Zouk. The schedule hand in date was Friday, which shattered the hopes of most students in the class, but now, the lights on their eyes glow again. Anyway, go and join the fashion show. People life Yvonne Foong, Blackjetta VC and hopefully Kenny Sia will be there. Anyways, so relieved....

Information Travels Fast

I know I am not suppose to be blogging, but I am really sleepy and my work is still undone. Stuck in the computer lab now for two days until 2 am. I don't feel like going on with my work, so I have decided to blog.

Check out this video (It's in mandarin, so no offence to those that do not understand mandarin). It's called Muar Chinese in YouTube. I didn't really get all the meaning, but it's quite funny at some parts. Anyway, what I'm trying to say here is that the video has been just added on March 7 and there are already a total of 139,430 viewers. Its origin of the video is in Muar, which is south of Malaysia and now it is slowly going around Malaysia really fast. Everyone is starting to know about the video, and after I posting it here, more people will start to know about it. Anyway, back to work....

Pendrive Lost !!!!

What a bad time to lose my pendrive. It's like I have quite a lot of documents with me in the pendrive. Moreover presentation and all coming up. Have to transfer here and there. I hope my harddisk does not give up on me. Guess it's time to go to Low Yat and get the 4GB pendrive. Unfortunate now, but happy later, if my harddisk is healthy.......

2 Hardest Weeks

This calls for blogging when I am down. Have not blogged so long when I am down. Feel really inspired lately to blog because of Norah Jones's songs. Her songs are really great when one is in love, when one is down, when one is lost in love, when one is lost in life. Her songs are the help that I am seeking for in order for me to cope with this 2 hardest weeks ever.

I have a World Economy presentation coming up next Friday and I do not know how to go on for the work. As a matter of fact I do not know whether I can manage to go through the last semester of this Foundation. Well, I have considered, if I can't, I will apply to all the biggest company in Malaysia to work at. I know I will definitely be employed, as I am employing for the position of a toilet cleaner. Perhaps with much effort and hard work, a new position can be created, which is toilet manager. I can then tell people that I am working at a big company.

I really need a break but the only break that will help me out is definitely in the summer. Can't wait for the trip to Singapore in the middle of the year. Anyway, wish me good luck in everything, as I really pushing myself although my brain has been exhausted, my eyes are being tired, my body is feeling fatigue and my soul is feeling soulless.......

Random Post #2

I'm not sure what to update for this blog, as the next two weeks are going to be really reallly tough for me. It's either success or failure. Trying to pull it off with greatness, but it will take so much effort that I have never done before. So probably I will not be able to update the blog so often anymore.

What I have found here is few YouTube videos. The most viewed Eolution Dance, Korean Noodles and the famousRK house video. Enjoy.....

Torrent - 200 KB/sec

What happens if there is wireless in your class and you have a laptop with a torrent programme? Continue to download of course and that is what I have been doing in the lecture halls. Just on my computer, connected to the wireless, on my torrent programme and just sit back to enjoy the lecture. If you see the picture below for the total download speed, you will be able to see the total download speed, which is 200KB/sec. I know this is common for many people from different country, but my country's internet speed is still slow. To see such speed is really a great record in my life......

Cheras Selatan Shopping Centre Trip

Went to Balakong on Friday for dinner, since my housemates and I do not know where to have dinner. The Cheras Selatan Shopping Centre is also known as Jusco, is just newly opened not long ago. It is basically just a two storey building, with not many grand retail shops like Nike or G2000. It's just a simple shopping centre that is still growing.


TGV Cinemas coming soon. Next time can go there watch movies !!!!
GreenBox Karaoke. It's something similar to the well known RedBox.
Saw a PlayStation 3 in a Game Shop. It costs RM 2899.00 currently. Will get one when the price falls.
RM 5.00 pillows. Cheap and nice. Long lasting? Not sure about that.
Ate at food & tea. It's like Kim Garry. Anyway, was really full.
Went to Jusco to buy Honey Dew which costs RM 1.50. Ate after dinner.
Before leaving, we saw this alien at a shop. It was quite cool. Hope can get one for myself.

It was really a great trip to go there. Had a really full dinner, with almost vomiting effect due to extreme fullness. Feel like going there again next time if time allows me to.....

31 Days in February?

Was trying to edit my profile in Friendster and I found out that they did not fix the days available in a month. When I pressed on February, there are options to be chosen for 30 and 31, which is so far non-existed in February. Now it's kinda cool since they have this cool feature. Those who wish to remain their birthday really anonymous can finally used this feature. Cool and weird.......

Talent Quest - Nottingham Idol 2007 #1

*Photos were taken from Sean @ sean88.blogspot.com.

Yesterday was the start for Nottingham (Malaysia Campus) Idol audition. There were quite a number of turn outs. A lot of people were supporting there friends and some were supporting the judges. Anyway, none of my friends that I know went for the audition. The bad side of this audition is that there is no recorded video which can be played back to everyone to see. So, basically none of use can hear any comments or reactions of the contestants or the judges, as it was done behind sound proof glass.

To get photos of the talent quest audition, you must have insider and I do have a soon to be professional photographer friend, Sean, inside the room taking photos. That is how I got the photos and some comments from him. It seems that there are more guys who are better than the girls. Great pictures from him, as they are taken from a great camera. Full credits to him.

Anyway, the guy in the third photo sings quite well, as I did hear him singing before, while walking around the campus. Just hope that he wins the competition. The funny part of the competition is that I found that there is a slight opposite to what American Idol does. As you can see in the judges' photo below, there are 3 people, with a female judge in the middle, which is similar to American Idol. But the first judge is not having a dark skin, the middle judge is not having a quite tan skin and the last judge is having dark skin. This is unlike the American judges, where the first judge is having a dark skin, the middle judge is having a quite tan skin and Simon Cowell is not having a dark skin. It's quit funny when you think about it.

Will keep updated with the results next time......
The judges for the talent quest.

These are the American Idol judges. Do compare them.

Mess Up in Government Website

My friend was going online to check whether he had be saman by traffic police. The website is at http://jpj.myeg.com.my. When my friend keyed in his Identification Card (IC) number, it turned out to be a different person's name. It's Mardiani Binti Rozali. What's worse that it is a girl's name instead of a guy's. I mean how mess up can this be. Correct number leads to a wrong person? And they are advertising their website on the radio so often lately. I guess, they have to look at their problems to ensure a good quality website for the society to rely on. What a mistake I have to say........

Tesco #5 - Tesco Packing

Tesco has many products of their own now and many of them are substitutes to other existing products because of their low prices. However, I have never seen a nice outlook of the packing of the Tesco's products until the other day when I came across 2 products.

I feel that the label for the products are very cool and nice. It really captures my eyes as I really like the colour scheme and the pictures.....

Janet Jackson Then and Now

Cited from http://www.sitevip.net/janet_jackson/images/JanetCover.jpg

This is the Janet Jackson I know. I still remember the wardrobe malfunction which happens to her. She was so famous during that time, and even people who are not a fan of her also went to look for her pictures. Honestly, her songs are just ok to me, nothing great and she is not that famous to me.
Then one day, I was looking around a book store and I saw a magazine with this face on. I was wondering who is she and the picture is showing like an old aunty with a funny hair, nose and mouth. It really scares me. When I read the cover, it was Janet Jackson. I am not sure whether it is really her, but if it is true then I guess Janet Jackson is now the same as her brother Michael Jackson, whom has a facial disaster.

If it is really her, I feel so sorry for her. Why on earth would people want to change the looks of their faces? Makes no sense to me.....

The Beauty of Depression

It has been 2 years plus now since I have suffered from depression. Yeah I'm not afraid to say it out here. Depression is clearly a serious sickness and I am so glad that I am so coming out of it. It takes a lot of time and love to managed to overcome it. However, being not depressed has some disadvantages. You might think that it is funny, but there is a beauty of depression.

The best thing about depression is that I will feel very expressive and I tend to blog as much as possible. I just have to write whatever that is coming across my mind. That's what happened to my past 2 blogs, where a lot of thoughts that is coming into my mind are just there. The first blog was really a hit, as it has all kinds of depressive things. Really missed those days where inspiration is all around in me. Even a lot of number one songs in the Billboard are also sound depressive. So it's really true, depression can really gives inspiration, and that's the beauty of it.........

Happy Chinese New Year 2007

Chinese New Year is here. This year is a Pig year, which is the last Chinese zodiac in the Chinese calender. All the people will be start believing in fung shui again. It happens every year and I find it weird. Is fung shui really that effective? I'm not really sure. Seems that Pig is having an inauspicious year this year.

Anyway, Chinese New Year is actually nothing special to me. All the relatives will come back (sometimes) and meet together, eat together, give and get ang pau. All the usual thing that has been going on for the past years and it is quite boring. Nothing much to do actually, except there is a thing which is fun to play with every Chinese New Year and I guess everyone knows what is that. Hint*: Not Firecracker though. Anyway, for the past few years, my Chinese New Year is always not as fine as it is, which means it is worse than fine. i really have no mood for Chinese New Year. I have to admit that Christmas plays a more important role in myself, apart from Chinese New Year. Some will then say that I am a bit crazy and weird and of course I have to say that I am.

I just want to apologize to all my relatives if I offended and did not entertain them. I just have not in the mood. If you were to see me in Christmas, I am always joyful. Weird.........

Before Chinese New Year, went Tesco with my seniors. This is Li-Ann in the lion head.

Ah, doesn't see look like the pig? *No offense*

My senior, Chi Ming, looking at the weird pig.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is today. The day where all lovers are celebrating their love together. Although there are many who cannot be their lovers today, but their hearts will be. I feel that counts a lot. There are a lot of couples will be having their lovely dinner in a fancy restaurant or some might just eat delicious home cooked meals. A lovely day for the couples.

However, I am curious to know why is there such day. I mean can't couples celebrate their love everyday? Must they celebrate it on that day only? It is kind of weird though. Anyways, for those who have no one to celebrate with, just go out with friends or sit on the couch to watch some romance movies. It will be fun.

Happy Valentines......

Car Trip To Mid Valley

Managed to drive to Mid Valley yesterday. No pictures along the way. Let's just say it was kinda of a close shave. Lucky that I reached there........

P2P Throttling and TM

I found two articles on P2P Throttling regarding TM. It's at Low Yat website. The two links are http://www.lowyat.net/v2/latest/p2p-throttling-tmnet-replies.html and http://www.lowyat.net/v2/latest/broadband-throttling-the-star-takes-notice.html.

The first article is quite hilarious. It shows you how bad is the company on replying matters. If you read the forum, other replies to the subject matter also does not seem to answer the question on what people are looking for. Things are getting serious for the past week and so far, it just improves a little, but not much. The throttling really kills P2P, especially when it comes to Torrent.

Steps should be taken to address this matter, as we as consumers have signed contracts stating that we have 100% bandwidth and the current matter does not seem to be on our side.

However, the matter have been brought to the newspaper as you can see in the second article. I hope this is a starting point to restore the Internet service back to its original condition, which is when the time where everyone was happy. How I wish there is a big Internet Service Provider to come into Malaysia to compete with TM, so that there will be quality improvements and will make the consumers happy......

Tourism Exhibition and Wedding Expo

Went to Mid Valley yesterday and I found a Tourism Exhibition there and a Wedding Expo there. I would say that the two events had a great connection, which is after planning your marriage date, then book holiday tickets for your honeymoon.

The Tourism Exhibition, in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2007, was nothing really great though. Just few companies offering holiday packages, and there's no doubt that AirAsia is there. There were not many people there and I managed to find 5 people standing on the stage with their back facing the audience. They were showing their "great" dance in front of everyone in order to win something. Everyone was just doing some crazy dance with the music played. The winner got a stay at a hotel, which I have forgotten the name .
Just some random people dancing around.

After visiting the Tourism Exhibition, I went to the Wedding Expo 2007. Seemed to be the 4th KL expo this year. I realised that all the people were all gathering at the Wedding Expo, because there will girls dressing up in wedding gowns doing a fashion walk on stage. That's where they went. In addition, many couples were gathering at various shops to ask about the usual wedding phototaking. The ladies doing the fashion walk were not really beautiful though. However, I found the most beautiful one, dressing up in a wedding gown. Was better than the 4 ladies.....

4th KL Wedding Expo

Not really beautiful.

Same again, not really beautiful.

Too, was not beautiful.

4 of the not so beautiful girls.

Ah, the most beautiful one of all. LOL.

Car Trip To Berjaya Time Square

I managed to drove to Berjaya Time Square with my friends yesterday. Bear in mind that the Malaysian edition of Time Square is totally different from the one in the United States. It was a successful outing as there was no accident, as I was really unfamiliar with the roads in Kuala Lumpur. So I was a bit nervous too, as the cars there are so much faster and the drivers are crazier. Anyway, just watched movies with my friends, Epic Movie and Blood & Chocolate. Epic Movie was really bad, but the other was quite nice. At last, I managed to drive to Berjaya Time Square. The next one I want to try would probably be Mid Valley....
KL Tower

Petronas Twin Tower

Berjaya Time Sqaure

It's getting nearer to Berjaya Time Square

Just a random picture of Time Square

Would love to watch this movie, as I really like Mr.Bean

A poster of Daniel Lee (Malaysian Idol). But, the head is broke a little and I wonder why the shop owner does not want to fix it. Perhaps they think he's not important. (Ops, fans will hit me for saying that)

Newly open Marrybrown in Time Sqaure.

Marrybrown burger with red stain. Does not seem like a good impression.

It is because of the way they wrap the burger with this red wraper.

Got this angpow from a shop next to Marrybrown. look at the validation date for this angpow in order to get a discount. It is after Chinese New Year. =.="

On the way back, there was a SLK 200 in front of me. Nice.

Sungai Long/Long River (English)

I went to Sungai Long yesterday with my housemates. Sungai Long is what it is called in Malay, and I'm not sure whether they have an English name for that place, cause if it is directly translated to English, it is called Long River.

Anyway, the place is quite nice to go to. However, it will get bored too, if many trips are made to there. I like the building design for the shophouses there though. It makes me feel like I'm living in the European countries.

There is an (University Tunku Abdul Rahman)UTAR campus nearby there and many of the students are basically staying near there. The food there is considered very cheap I guess, for a place in a Selangor state. Furthermore, there are 3 Internet Cafes in Sungai Long and the best one is e-century Internet Cafe. Basically it is quite a quite but nice place to stay at it certainly has more things to do there than the "jungle".......
A random view of the shophouses.
RM 3.2 for this. It's very cheap.

Random Post #1

Today is Thaipusam, so there's nothing much to do, but to stay in the computer lab, using desktop and laptop to surf around the net and see what I can find.

Got the following picture from Henry. He took a photo of a shop with the name "ipcsohpping". Is Malaysian English that bad, or they did that purposely. Shouldn't it be "ipcshopping"? Even my sister know that it is a spelling error.
ipcsohpping? Or should it be ipcshopping?

Just did some random sufing on the net. I guess, MoSai is right, Wikipedia is really cool to go to, as you can find anything there, as long as there is someone who write it. Went to find some random things and I managed to find articles on my previous school, SMK Ibrahim. Click here! There is also information on our SPM, here, which shows the top scorers of SPM. It seems funny to be that the name of the person who started the "SPM Many Subject Trend" (no offence) is not there. I mean he, Ong Jin Hock, is the first one to do it with 13A, and it is not there? It does not make any sense to me on how it can be overlooked by the author of the article.

Last but not least, check out this link at Low Yat website. Nothing else to say. This is Malaysia...
