Just another day

Well after my very differentday at work. I had to come back to something else. My mom was mugged just infront of my own house.I wonder whether i should go around stalking indians with pylon riders. Another reason for me to leave this country. Well i think i might have to accompany my mom to make her new ic. Then I got screwed by my dad about not informing him about not eating dinner.

Then i went to another depressing training filled with so many flaws that i was dissapointed with the performance of Adrian. I guess this is what happens if you don't go to learn how to teach. The lack of emphasis on the movements and stances would further dilute our standards. On thing i remember is that if teaching ewith a language barrier, the best way to illustrate would be by demonstrating. The higher skill levels should see the students trying to perfect their movements with more power and stance improvement.

Then after training, i saw a gurl smile to me on the way out, it was raining lightly so i tried to offer her a ride home. I have heard alot of failed attempts. Well anyway this gurl was from China and actually hoped, her name is Yishuang. Seeing that last time i was used to the 2-legged transprtation, i don't mind helping out even if it's a bit out of the way. Well it has left me with a feeling of selflessness (feels damn good) till today.

Thought for the moment:
" If each of us can be selfless more often then the world can be a truly happier place "

New Division

I will try to fill in the mentioned topics later, closer towards the end of my working days here. This is because of the change in work environment might further change my view of working life.

As the title shows, i have been transferred to another division. This is the division that deals more with the more technical aspect of setting up networks and troubleshooting. My first day here has already sent me through the data center and already had me sort-of familiarised with the Cisco system.

Security was tight, it requires a magnetic tag with the proper user rights. Then in the inner room where we were to keep our shoes, a finger print scanner with a numeric pad. Entering would bring you into a glass room. The data farms on the left and the command consoles on the right. Somebody has to let you in from the inside. The command center is another thing altogether. One shows the cameras positioned all over the floor, the others were, logs of people entering and logs of access from the network and performance logs.

I know boriiiiing! But i'm sure not many people would be able to witness thing's like these. Karate tonight followed by a stop over at steph's place.

Thought of the day:
" Benkyo, benkyo, benkyo!!!!! " (study,study,study)

Dinner Galore

Friday attended a dinner at Steph's house, the attendees were me, Joanna, Ee Lynn, Regina, Choon Ling, and the guest of honour Maybelle who is back for the holidays.

Saturday, wanted to do my IC but when i went to the registra in the morn' there were soo many people that there wasn't even enough space to get out of the elevator. I gave up and attended the later mornign training at Kelana Jaya Secondary School. Then helped Melanie to order her computer with her dad then came home for lunch. Went for jap food with Jen and then saw a 4.00pm Lord of the Rings show.(It was damn good)

Sunday(my 20th birthday), karate training again at Bukit Bintang Boys school. Then hung at Jen's place, ate rojak and cendol. Then at 7.30 went for my family dinner. Attendees were my aunt, grandma, dad, mom, cousin(Peng Keong), his girldfriend and Jen Min. Then went to Sri Hartamas, Coffee Bean to have some drinks and cake(don't eat the banana surprise) and then to chili's(mamak).

Thought fo the day:
" Eat to live or live to eat? "

Birthday Party

Monday night, attended a bbq with some uni mates, Jason jokingly said that it was for my birthday, i thought he was joking. Actually it was for Jason, myself, Yin Hao, and Hui Ling. The other attendees were Verina, Benjamin(Jason's Cousin), Pei Yin, Adeline, Leonard(host) and not forgetting Jennifer. Wow i can remember names. Well it's interesting to mix with different people. Jason, i can always depend on you for hamburgers and sausages.

This extra long weekend was greatly welcomed, well work again tomorrow. Flea's leaving on Thursday, i don't really bother with goodbyes, so said mine this evening already. The gang will be clubbing at Bali again. I don't like clubbing, i find the thought of blowing away hundreds of dollars on a few drinks just bloody stupid. Not only do you waste money, but also hearing as well as well as fill up your lungs with secondhand smoke.

Baka.

" Do gurls always smell like heaven and guys smell like shit? "

Eyes Wide Shut

My eyes swelled up on thursday night's training. so much so that i had to retire because i couldn't see. Took friday off. The swell didn't go away yet but at least the pain and the itch wasn't there.. but man really looked like a chinese, you could only see the slits. Went for training on saturday morning and in the afternoon went to buy my laptop. I got myself a Compaq laptop Duron 950. Then later went for an exausting meeting with my masters and seniors, exposing my self to the clubs admin and politics.About this time was when all the swelling went away.

Today went for karate in the morning(sunday), forgot my top, that was embarrasing, bu tmy master asked meto train anyway. Note to self, put all relevant articles in ONE bag. I slept the afternoon away. Still waiting for something to happen.

So till the next blog.

Thought of the day:
" What do we all want? "

Different World

Came back from Arshan's house, 1 wakeup call to get me evaluating myself again and life. His dad succumbed to liver cancer. Then another world emerged before me when comparing to Uni to work and to the elite with the ideas. All heading towards the same conclusion. To be a skilled worker and to be payed as much as possible for it.

One is superficial, with objectives and methods too theorethical for practical use. It's meant more too prepare the mind of the students for the demands of working life. The other is sitting in the knowledge goldmine and feeling miserable that npthing happening with the same boring and pathetic days where you count the minutes to the end of the days and dread every otehr moment when you return to the same routine.

And there is the last one which came to me as a surprise, from the most unlikely of sources. Seems like the past few weeks have thought me never t judge a book by it's cover. Now this is the world of optimists and oppertunists. If you hang around those that have it, it'll rub off onto you. I'm still stunned, trying to get this down for fear that if i sleep i might forget it. We never realise what we are really capable of doing until what we see what other people are doing.

Thought of the day:
" We fail when we don't even bother to try "

Public Holiday

Despite my promise to myself to stay in more often and to catch up with my sleep, i again wasted another day outside. Well atleast i narrowed down my preferred choice of notebooks to either the Compaq Pressario 1700 or 700. Again i blew more money away at McD's and Coffee Bean. I had better avoid those establishments for the coming month.

Can you imagine that this is actually the first time that i had roamed around MidValley? Makes me wonder what else am i gonna miss when i leave for Australia. Anyway came back for dinner and then joined Jason, Verina, Jennifer, Ken Ming, Tirath and Eu Keong at McD's(yes twice in the same day!) and came back not very late.

I also found out that they were giving a free preview of AXN on Astro, so the bags under my eyes are because of the screening of "you're under arrest". Well today i just came back with Donny (a guy from CSA), did an installation(yes, finally!) and discovered the other side of KL which i swear, if you droped me there i wouldn't be able to find my way home.

Man i better think of a way to make my millions before i my brain goes dead with all this work.

Thought of the day:
" We can be somebody great, the only person stopping us is ourselves "

Julian owes us bigtime.

I would like to blog more often but there isn't mcuh to say. My job is routine so i better refrain from mentioning it anymore. Last night me and Wen Yung assisted Julian in moving his apartment stuff. Not an easy task, if Wen Yung didn't come we wiouldn't be able to finish by midnight. Later we went to Puchong for our makan. Then came back at 12.30, if we were to go anywhere else i think it would have been later.

I woke up today expecting my whole body to hurt, but then again because of lifting soo many desktops and servers as well as martial arts, the pain didn't come. And i didn't even sleep well. Note to self: " do not stuff myself silly after midnight".

Thought of the day:
" Isn't life wonderful? "

Thought of the moment:
" At least i didn't fail "

6 day weeks?

Well this is the first saturday that i've been working in CSA, the morning was pretty flat.. well atleast i had access to the internet. basic, expected, desired, suprising, unvbelievable atleast i learn't something going for that talk in the planetarium, i can understand the complexities it comes to running a company that has 900 employees. This is totally different with the senario when i was working in Micro Village, from sales to the delivery there is soo much verification and 2 database system, one barcode, Oracle based and similiar system i think just so that it displays more information.

Well i came back at CSA office at 1.20, damn i just missed Mr. Low, so i think i'll get my bag on monday. Arrived back at home at 1.40. Ate chicken rice and came back to play gt2 till 4.30... woke up at 7, i got missed calls form Joshua, Jason and Wen Yung. Well i wanted to attend the gathering but by the time i came back from dinner with my parents, everybody was already on their way back.

Well since i was already dressed up, i gave Ai Ling a call and met up with her in pyramid. To my surprise i saw the trailer to Lord of the rings and Episode 2. They are really a long way to go. Well at least there is Harry potter, but i'm expecting a let down as it usually happens when there is cross-genres. Well had an interesting talk with Ai Ling, and got me thinking about what i wanna do with my self,


short term:
Basic: finish job training

Expected: to be content one way or another after the holidays, would most probably regard this holiday as the fuitful but deep inside would think that i could have done more

Desired: perhaps a sign to keep me going on.

Surprising: If i actually get to understand C/C++ and motorola assembly as well as a head start on the semester.

Unbelievable: To get a girl friend that true cares for me as much as i do for her. To come out with an idea taht woudl eventually lead me to millions after a few year? perhaps watermarking technology or encryption? i better dream on boy.

There you have it, the rantings of a student engineer that might be on the verge of cracking up if something doesn't happen soon, something better happen. Tommorrow will be karate in the morning and i suppoe i'll try to fill up my remaining free time with (i hope) finally spray painting my car as well as cleaning both the 4wd and the dog too.

Holidays are here i guess...

It's 1.20am on a monday morning.... my work begins at 8.30, i think... I expect a shit load of work ahead of me, hope that won't happen because i'll be also applying for another data entry job at night. Ok exams ended on friday about 4. Our class was so demoralised that we could actually taste our doom and the loss of RM 2000 to repeat a subject not even related to our major. Lets just hope and pray, miracles can happen. I have not ever failed a paper and i don't plan to start.

I sent Jack home and returned to home, wanted to sleep but was too restless. Went to Steph's for an embarrasing session of karraoke, guess what? i can't sing for nuts. Then on the journey home, saw an old lady being robbed by 2 indian men near Projet along the atria stretch. Got off bike, yelled, jumped in to ditch and got up the other side(ouch), anyway, they had already left with her necklace, her ring and bracelet and purse was still intact. She was shaken and had scratch marks on her neck, escorted her home and i myself went home.

Saturday, karate in the morning, caught samurai X, then i had all my medical check up and an X-ray taken(not as painful as i thought it would be). Then visited Manohar to borrow his PS, mine is busted..... suprise, he's is the later model with the thingamajig square connection. Went to Steph's to watch Bridget Jones Diary. Then came home to sleep. Oh i saw my dog killed his first cat, cool shit man... i'm damn proud.

Sunday, karate again(hey i better get my money's worth rite?), lunch and went to grocery shopping, suprise, 2 new bakeries both giving 50% discounts, bought myself a American chocolate. Came back to see a crappy B-grade movie King Cobra, yeah the tittle says it all! Then went to buy a Boston Cheese cake for Steph for the DDR session.(my calves still hurt, i bet they'll hurt more if i don't get some sleep).

Just came back celebratign Ming's b-day, Hon Mun, Lucas, Chun Kitt, Diana, Vinodh, Mingus, Hong Sheng attended, nice seeing you all again.

Well that's about it, i'll try to blog more often.

Peace people

Thought of the day:
"Weird things just happen"

2 down 4 to go

2 of my papers are done, Advanced Engineering... well let's just say with the last-minute submission of the 50% project didn't help at all. The previous week, Mr. Sukumar decided to add a little more spice into our exams by giving us an assignment to be completed in 3 days and to be handed up on Friday... ahem the exam was on the following Monday. It may be a blessing in disguise, i'll tell you after the ece2601 paper.

Electromagnetics, a real disaster, not only did i do the same questions before the exams... but just because i forgot the formula i had to leave out 3 questions. This is the most difficult paper so far. Maybe that's why everybody is treating it like a holiday.. we have 8 days before our next paper. I may have secured my employment for my industrial training with Computer Systems Advisers, and the nerve of the other people that i applied to.. they can't even bother to reply to say that no help is necessary. Well that the real world for you.

Today rode in a modified Perdana V6 ala Mitsu Eterna, with a vcd player and a 5 inch lcd screen.. didn't get to look under the hood though. hehe. Neil gave me a ride after i helped drive back Sumana's iswara(she got into an accident with a motorbike and i have no idea how it could collapse the bumber, smash the lights and also bend the bonnet). Woo now i'm REALLY impressed with build and material quality of proton cars. Please feel free to prove me wrong.

Thought of the day:
"I really hate traffic jams"

Let's celebrate

My advanced engineering project is finally completed. BUt my journey is far from over. Exams in 20 days and counting. Still calm for the moment. Despite knowing that i am still incapable of doing any of my papers. I pray for a pass.

Peace people.

Holidays over

Well the only thing that i accomplished is to find out how much i didn't know. Well i did get my sleep back. Expecting a hell of a week. F1, is showing bloody late and so is James Bond on HBO. We'll see how it goes.

Just waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel. I figured that the light is just to have no work, yay! Unless i actually get a summer job for my industrial training that is. Cheers!

Thought of the day:
"It's nice when people go out of their way to be nice"

The calm before the storm.

Well i'm pretty certain that output = 0. The only thing i learnt is that there is more to life than school and friends play a important role in emotional support. Can't live without them.

I'm still stuck because i am trying to become righteous, but i don't have the words to complete it. So i have to live with just trying my best for the coming exams.

It starts on the 22nd of october and ends on the 9th of november. So if you guys wanna do anything prior to that date, sorry i don't think i'll be available, anything after goes. So good luck to all who are taking exams and God bless.

Mid Semester Break

Ok my mid-term break is here. I won't make big promises to myself because i won't get anything done. I have more than 10 items that need completion. If i can even complete half of them, then it's already an achievement. We'll see how it goes.

ece2001 project is like complete, the coding at least. There is analysis, documentation and fft codes to go(i sure hope that at least the first 2 parts can be done by my group members or else i would be handing in a project report with ONLY my name on it)

Till i get more things done.

Thoughts of the day:
"I'm freakin' lazy and mastering the art of procrastination"

Here's another interesting thing that has been floating around. I expected more from it. Just try it.
(My firend Kevin Ling form us confirmed that this one is a hoax also, but i'm keeping it up for fun)

1)go to MS office/word pad
2)type Q33NY (this is the flight number of plane hit WTC)
3)change font size to 26 or above
4)change font type to WingDing

Productivity?

I've been parking in the parking lot next to the Sunway medical center for the past 3 days. I have been seeing the same guard there from 8 in the morning to 5 in the evening... just sitting in a small pondok... only getting up once in a while to open up the gate.

Then again there is those ticket people at the mmpj sports centre one for the court games and another for the swimming pool... they'll be there for 6 times a week collecting 60 cents fro the whole day. Hello.. how can these people stand such dead end jobs? and these people are like late 20s and middle 30s.

While i'm at it, why the hell do we need those toll booth collectors? can't you just automate it like in US, just drop in a bloddy RM 1 coin and before the toll provide changing machines to get the coins? And these takes the cake... they get minimal wage something like RM 500 and they are like spm school leavers?

Well.. i'll leave it as that... on a lighter note.. tennis has been doing wonders... hitting the wall alone make a good workout for the waist and butt.. still my problem areas. Can't excel anymore in karate until i get my flexibility and fitness up. May have a wilayah selection next month. Don't know how that will turn out.

Dance has been great. Hopefully i can be ready for the bronze exam coming soon and also balance my academic performance.

Holidays coming next week so i hope i can make the best of it.

Weird stuff have been circulating the net:

COINCIDENCES

Date of the attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.
September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year.
119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran. 1 + 1 + 9 = 11.
Twin Towers - standing side by side, looks like the number 11.
The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11.

Have More.......

State of New York - The 11th State added to the Union.
New York City - 11 Letters.
Afghanistan - 11 Letters.
The Pentagon - 11 Letters.
Ramzi Yousef - 11 Letters (convicted or orchestrating the attack on the WTC in 1993).
Flight 11 - 92 on board - 9 + 2 = 11.
Flight 77 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11.

Coincidence? (this has been proven to be false but i'm keeping it up anyway)

Will there be a safe free world if the worlds most powerful nation can come under attack? The only thing that we can do is to pray for the victims and hope that those involved in this terrible act of terrorism would be brought to justice.

Monash Ball 2001

Ok the set up was pretty interesting and they got alot of sponsors... but i wished my ticket would be called for the sony handphone but gee, i'm a born loser.

Well lets just say i made full use of my camera for once. I mean how many uni events would we attend in our lives? Plus all the well dressed people. Ok i got to take pictures with alot of people, but just a word of warning before i post the pictures up on my website, i am just making use of the occasion. If you guys have a problem with the pics just mail me about them.

Seagames karate will be starting on sunday, don't know whether i should go for it. But hell why not? it'll happen only once in a lot of years. My training in Monash University just gained a new trainee, Kok Leong, a black probation who stopped a long time ago. I hope he'll come next week.

Another ball where i realize i'm alone again, sigh? if i can survive 19 years i suppose i can survive another round.

Well till i get my pictures up on my page.

Long Time No Blog

For those people that frequently visit the website. I'm sorry i haven't been updating myself. I think i have already lost alot of hits just for that. Well as you can see the frames have been remade, but i still can't get rid of the error occuring. That's geocities fault for imbedding their java ads.

The is just o excuse for it. I was lazy and i think i'm running out of ideas. Alot already have heard how pathetic my rants are... mostly about how the workd could be better and it all starts with ourselves.

What the heck.... ok our uni is situated next to an industrial/commercial area where we have been given the luxury by MPSJ to park for free. But despite this we still can't break the habit of double parking and parking at curbs. This first of all is dangerous and its downright annoying. Well today saw another set of cars being towed away. Hello... is there only mud in the brain? it's free parking just park a bit further and you can avoid the RM80 fine or the heartache when you return to see that your car has dissappeared.

Another matter. Why the hell can't people look after their trash? i get really pissed to see that people just eat and leave the leftoers on the tables(ahem .. vinodh) . I don't care if you guys say that it is justified because you have other people to clean up for you. You should treat every where else just like your home. Things like these are what make you stand out. And also.. people really love to smoke, sop why can't you people be more orderly and just extinguish the ciggy with your foot and then throw it into a rubbish bin? i think it's a malaysian tradition or just bad breeding that will always keep us in this endless loop of selfishness. I realised all this when i was stuck in a jam. I could even see trash on the road dividers and sidewalks.

Thoughts for today:
"If we cared for another person as much as we care for ourselves, we already made a difference"

You know choon ling's blog really hit me, there are some people that are really so nice and helpful, and there are those who deserve to rot in hell.

My friend Thiru got involved in a hit and run and has a fractured heel, so for those that care, wish him well and wish the driver hell.

What is this this world coming to? Well the plus side of going through hell on earth is that we can't get any worst of right?

Thought of the day:
" Live today like tommorrow will be your last, and live it knowing that you''ll live forever "

(PS: another constant reminder of how mortal we all are.... sob..)

Excuses?

I noticed that people can't really be honest with themselves, they tend to give themselves excuses to make them feel better. Like for colleagues of mine... who by the way takes less subjects than i do, excuses are such as.... too busy, another one is "wait i'll do it next week after my foosbal tournament", and another can't even make it too uni, great partners for a project that accounts for half of a subject huh?

I hate bullshit excuses, isn't honesty the best policy?

What else is going to come out? "Couldn't do work, i'm working on Windows 96", "Gold fish ate my work"? For god's sake please admit if you don't know how to do it, or you were to lazy, or you forgot.... And please anybody who hasn't seen me in uni for the week, please stand up.

Another... feeling stressed? i better lite a ciggy or play counter strike or play diablo or drink coffee ... i suppose there are less expensive/wasteful activities like sports, meditation or even sleep. Eventually it'll become a superficial security blanket, which wastes time and money which you have nothing to show for.

So i'm a hardass when it comes to group work, and i hate conversations where i hear people wishing they had done this and done that. And i definitely hate people coming up with excuses to smoke. It's detrimental to your cash flow and to your health and shortens your life span.

Thought of the day:
" Isn't it funny how we never look at ourselves when we complain about somebody else? "

Is it Worth It?

It's a wonder why we bother so much about completing work and pushing ourselves until our health fails. Is getting work done worth sacrifising everythign else? It better freakin' be.....

Thought of the day:
" We humans are inefficient beings, we only can make use of less than 10% of the energy of the food that we consume, and we hardly do any work "

Went for a grading this morning... my first grading where i examined my juniors. Then ate like a pig.(i know so well that i'm gonna feel it in a few days time). Tried to implement my freaking FFT coding for the whole day... i'm really getting pissed that none of my group members are actually making an effort to help me.

Oh i realised that the best rpg that you can play is life itself... without emersing yourself into a fantasy world full of chaos and uncertainties, you can have an enviroment just as complex to develope your own character.

Things like charisma, luck, strength and agility. All of these are attributes that are bettere off developed in real life rather than in a virtual world, at least the results shows. So get off the computers and level up (in real life). At the least, it's just as wasteful or time consuming as playing a game.

Thought of the day:
" Infinite loops sucks when you didn't save your code "

I am constantly surrounded with people that have a deep desire to communicate... all ways smsing each other, loved ones. Then when i think about it further... that is what the telecos want you to do. They try to supply a service to a market that has a demand for it and charge appropiately for it.

After taking telecommunications as a subject i can see how much there is to profit from it.... but come on... at least now i'm not an idiot... we pay good money to make use of the service.... alot of the current service providers don't get it... it's all about getting the market share... but that's how far it goes... they try to reduce the price to lure customers... but they don't improve on service quality.... what's the point of having a phone if all the lines are busy when you want to make a call? or if it is absolutely critical to reach somebody but jee... "the number is currently unavailable...".. man if the government didn't keep an eye on the market... foreigners would dominate...

From there... the extreme reduction of car import duties from 130 odd % to just about 30 + % would cause the local car manufacturers to shut down... they are not even trying to be competitive... a perdana V6 cost about 100k, a new corolla altis costs about 140k, and more than half of the price of the imported car goes to the government... if you half it.. who would buy the perdana? a kancil cost about 30 k, a kia sephia cost about 60 k? after the opening of the market? how much must perodua sell the car to remain competitive? oh i just found out that import duties grows exponentially for cars with bigger engine capacities..

well i have my eyes aimed at an evo7 or bm3 recon... wouldn't it be sweet then?("in a galaxy far far..... way far away")

Ok had another bad day...almost

Previous day i had a note sticked to my car.... Don't park here... (witnessed by Weng Yung). And guess what this morning i was rushing over to fetch him and run some errands.. and lo... my car was tipping to one side and clearly seen was a big nail... those more than an inch ones....

Ok called my dad and he asked me to deal with it.... i had the wheel off when he came home... he gae me a lift to school...

anyway the rest is boring but the highlight was that istead of just preaching ... i tried what i said a few blogs ago and got to know this sweet gurl that i always see around.. i noticed because of her Angelina Jolie- like lips.. her name is Preema ...

Julian was there so he asked me about it... but he did hit a point.. because you said "hi" and no pickup line, you can never go wrong.

Thought of the day:
"You can see a culture by simply driving on their roads"

woke up @ 7.30

Drank a cup of coffee

Went for training till 11.30

Then ate lunch @ 1.00

I slacked off for another few hours...

Went out with high school mates

Came back to watch sleepy hollow, then sex in the city and then 3rd rock.

Then suppose to study but i had to blog for a while...

I am the king of slack. Shit when you evaluate your achievements by the amount of work you do you, it can be depressing.

Thought of the day:
" Mind will be blunt if not continually sharpened "

Are we all shy?

I have noticed that whenever i meet people or given the oppertunity to introduce myself, it's usually not the other that makes the initiative... but can you imagine what our world would be like if we didn't even try?

Taken from newsweek: There is this concept place where the men and women are seperated in to 2 different sections with a transparent glass to observe each other... they would then buys each otehr drinks and send messages such as phone no.s or other contacts through the waiters.

Ok this maybe extreme, but until we learn that we aren't going to get anything until we actually attempt it. We can just go on about dreaming about a coleague at work or that girl you always see hanging around college, or that cure guy with the buns. Until you try, you would be walking around in life with alot of "what if"s. Go out and meet people and have the guts to introduce yourself.

I just asked a girl what a good pickup line would be. She said just start with "hi" and if it's really cheesy she might actually laugh it up and actually give her name. But come on seriously, what have you got to lose? at least you would have a new friend, or an adrenaline rush for trying. You have nothing to lose.

So just start with the basics..... hi....

Oh i almost forgot... i had to get this of my chest. Today i was insulted by a classmate, just to shout out to the world,

"I could have retaliated physically, or i could have embarrased this individual in a war of words that would tarnish the individual's image(i don't care about mine) but i held back because i know i am better than that"

Jack, you know what i mean.

Another week is almost through... still alive...

Lecturer accidentally used my groups lab report to erase the white board...

Dance class might be having practise on monday nights...

I have absolutely no idea on what to do this weekend besides karate..

Thoughts of the day:
"living life like a routine can be pretty boring"

Bad Day?

You know when you are in it for a hell of a day when you wake up to a cram in your calves... The hangover syndrome from waking up didn't fade away and then i realized i was sick big time... my stomach was just hurting throughout the day and i had a head ache and still do....

The usual thing for an engineering student is to watch in pride as your work is completed and it is handed up.. guess what, it was returned and i was sounded that i didn't type it and it was incomplete. Almost felt like taking off my lecturer's head... fortunately for me i held it all the way through the last lecture...

just ate fruits and barley for dinner and went to get a vcd to watch and now just finishing my ece2601 lab report...

Can my day get any more interesting?
(hope i lose whatever sickness i'm having now...)

another week and more pain.. yee ha... love life... today i ran about 5km under an hour.. so that's not bad... can't think of other things to get fit... would like get a nice body but i can't go without stuffing stuff in my face.. brain doesn't seem to work without food and i can't concentrate until i eat the nasi lemak at medan.

Some body help me... ok.. i'll try to reduce, and i better concentrate more at stretching ....

Thought of the day:
"the search for perfection is never ending"

A very uneventful day... spent the first half trying to understand and programme a DFT code in matlab... wanted to cycle and had already made arrangements with Nicholas Chua, unfortunately i called it off because it was raining...

I went with my mom to visit my cousin, played with a rom that he downloaded... all arcade games can be download! and you don't need a p3 machine to play it...

now i'm currently trying to complete my electromagnetics assignment.. and hopefully the electronics & control lab report.

Thought of the day:
"Don't eat 2 durians unless you don't plan to meet anybody for a day"

Long time no blog... i just can't find things worth saying... well today bought best of the best 1 and 2. Too much gore... it'll make me think how it feels like to be beaten to a pulp...

Learnt my 8th kata which should put me on the road for a 2nd Dan hopefully before i leave Malaysia. What else .. boring.. i was soo bored at home taht i called everybody i knew to see if anybody were free to go out, ended going to Atria alone to send my PS for repair. Looked around, ate onion rings and on the way back stopped for chendol, then before reaching home i got the 2 movies that i ordered. I'll be waiting for the Ultimate Fighting Championship cds that i've ordered... hopefully they would be available by next week.

Unfortunately i can't compete with my fellow blogger, they have such discipline to blog everyday and long blogs at that.... well as long as i'm happy.

Thought of the day:
"I can be better than what i am today"

Ok.. i just came back from a few outings... saw trailer for Bloodsport 2: The last Kumite.. kumite by the way means battle.... saw lots of take downs kick boxing.. some even in gi's (you know uniforms like karate, judo and taekwondo)... and saw a training routine where there were a series of candles... he punched and kicked a few of the out... now i'm inspired...

I also had an intersting chat with Mr. Ong, my heat transfer lecturer. Mostly was about how us students are still doing the same bloody thing.. just regurgitate everythign we learn... whereas.. he derives everything out on the board... and about how we should learn just for the sake of learning to master something, not just to pass exams.. fine by me.. but waht does it all mean to a struggling student like me? .. work alot more harder...

Thought of the day:
"The harder the struggle the sweeter the fruits of success"

woo hoo, ralph won followed by rubens... but i hafta say that i pity luciano burti, he crashed out 3 times in 2 days(not to mention almost killing himself and one of the orange drivers)... and team minardi, had engine barbeques, if not for the restart they wouldn't even be racing and so would mikey.. not that it made a difference, his gearbox failed anyway... montoya and rubbens were haunted by phantoms in their oil pumps... 30 second pit stops!!! it's like after 1 seconds they detached the pump and said"ayo nobody turned it on?", this race had so many casualties that i think i put it as no. 2 below monaco.

Montoya changed into casual wear after his machine failed and mikey was seen hobnobbing with the marshalls after his car failed.. for more than half an hour... i think.

Kinda fun seeing more than 20 million ringgit worth of racing equipment just reduced to less than scrap yard material at every crash. Just commenting.. a japan GT touring car gearbox cost like RM 500,000 + , how much for an F1 equiv. ? Carbon fibre chips anybody?

Ok, it is confirmed... nobody is interested in martial arts or they just don't read ad pin-ups all over the campus. I feel so pathetic. Even Choon Ling didn't make it. I just meditated for half an hour. Then did a few kicks and i did a review on all the katas(patterns) that i know. I didn't even see my master... he went to the sunway college lounge instead. Well, no more promoting the art anymore, i'll just improve myself. Will all my effort be worth it? We'll see.

Montoya and Ralph got pole position. I hope they whip ferrari's ass. What else to say... oh i think i found an inspiration.. let's see how long it lasts.. err.. saw planet of the apes... man they have pretty decent copies floating around in the pasar malams. Man it was cool, but the ending is a mind job. Ok this is not definitely worth seeing on a date, then again if there is nothing else. Where are all the good movies?

"Sex is overrated" (this is for jean)

Ok, it's really getting busy... today i just attended my first serious dance class... gee, it seems more technical than normal. And tommorrow i'll be having my first official training in Monash University... those who are interested please come to the Monash student lounge at about 5 - 6.30. What else can i say.. i have a lot of work to do, and as usual i'll take my own bloody slow pace until i realize that i'm behind and i'll struggle to pass again... let's hope not... i've been scrapping through too many times already.

Choon Ling, try to make it to the training, Shendai Chee Hong and Shendai Zhairin might be coming as well as Kyushi Wong.

"Some people can make your day, even when they don't even know it"
