Woke up and got on the pc (I still call my computer a pc even tho i know it is a mac :s) for news as I had breakfast and was so amused by this piece of news.

This weekend, President Bush paid a surprise visit to Iraq. And during a press conference, the topic of force withdrawal was raised. That was when an Iraqi struck. He yelled something in Arabic like Farewell kiss, dog and promptly chuck his shoe at the President.

He missed.

And was dragged of the conference, 'crying like woman'.

Kick ass drama, I say. And the President was even joking about what happened seconds after the incident. And mentioned a few lines to do with truly democratic and shoe size as the rest of the reporters were apologizing. That man has real steady composure. Seriously, throughout the whole incident, all he did was ducked. Respect.

Watched Minority Report? I know its old, but didn't the way Tom Cruise manipulated information in the movie tug at your imagination?

What if I were to tell you its not science fiction? What if the way he communicated with the computers exist?

For that, you have to find out yourself.
Google up g-speak. And watch the video on the oblong website. Fucking incredible.

ok finally, 15mins later, that is my stop, now for another 10 mins walk to my workplace. great.

Oh and when I said not counting the windchill, I meant a 13 degrees difference. Actual temperature 28 degrees. Toss in the windchill factor, 41 degress. Swt. or the lack of

Weird lah...why was i chased out?? hmmm coz I am a bad influence the people sitting around me during the lecture as they are talking. Yes i admit i was talking but however I am not the only one in the lecture hall there talking. The 3 phones made noise and the whole lecture theatre was shouting someones name(concerning the phones) which i was not involved..are u saying I mastermind all these?? and when I talk i either ask question abt the subject or yes when someone talks to me as you need someone to start talking (not pointing fingers as I said the lecture hall was noisy)..

Is it because I am the only repeater there therefore I am aimed?? Please there are other repeaters but they did not come..I still obediently attend the lectures and tutorial..zzz..but please do not pinpoint failures we know we failed but some of us are trying hard to get through this and make out parents proud and be useful citizens in the future..you keep blacklisting these people well its not helping they really need to be treated the same not some outcast..
Luckily I have a great group of frens there in the lecture hall and God(in my life) too so I somehow managed to control my anger or I could have just exploded and do something stupid (maybe shouted vulgarities or wat not). Plus with the help of KIWI YOGHURT!!

My journey

2008-10-21T14:53:00.003+08:00

After seventeen hours on two planes, 8 hours spent in transit, and finally arriving in Vancouver, BC, the relief of breathing in the cool 3 degrees Celsius air was simply indescribable. I was actually supposed to have to spend only 2 hours in transit in HK but the freaking Royal Brunei Airlines decided to screw up my flight plans with a 'mechanical failure' which resulted with me missing my flight and having to catch the next one about 8 hours later. Absolutely brilliant.

An uncle of mine picked me up from the airport and for my first ten days, I lived in his basement. Once there I opened the letter sent to me from the Katimavik head office and found out about the three destinations where I will be going to, namely Saskatoon in Saskatchewan, Timmins in Ontario and Dalhousie in New Brunswick. Giving the climate of those three towns a quick google made it apparent that the clothes I brought with me will not be suffice in keeping me warm when it hits minus thirty. Let me say that what I did the next few days is the reason why the balance in my accounts would need replenishment, and soon.

Winter clothes are not cheap, especially stuff made from Goretex.

Sleeping bags for minus 5 degrees, check,
a second pair of water proof gloves, check,
a set of water proof shell, check,
bunny-hugs, check,
many more sweaters, check,
and the list goes on and on.

The few days spent in Vancouver were cool. Gave downtown vancouver a quick day's walk around. Even had the chance to sit for a pop quiz in a chem class in UBC. Funny how I actually kinda miss studying, not saying that I had past experiences of being a part of a class of 200 other students.

There was even this little restaurant on the top of a hill overlooking vancouver where President Clinton and his Russian counterpart had dinner before. It was there that I had my best ever brunch experience, Empire be damned.

So those few days flashed by in a hurry, and again I have to pack for my flight to Calgary and finally to Saskatoon. Again my flight was delayed, I missed my connecting flight from Calgary to Saskatoon and had to wait 3 hours for the next flight. Thank gosh I managed to contact the Katimavik transport liason officer intime for him to arrange for someone to pick me up since I would be missing the bus to the orientation camp.

Orientation camp, what can I say? Met the people I would be living together with for the next 9 months and the other 2 groups who would be in small towns outside Saskatoon. It was hectic but fun, with a few campfire nights. Also where it really hit me how hard French is to be picked up.

Just yesterday, we finally moved out of the camp and found out what the house would be like. My group in Saskatoon is 9 of us, with only 3 guys and so it fell on us to help the girls with setting up the beds, which were ridiculously troublesome and badly designed. I mean, like seriously, what the hell were the people thinking about when they designed those beds?

I am too tired to talk about everything in more detail because if I do, this blog would be endless.

One last thing, i SERIOUSLY MISS DRIVING! LIKE SERIOUSLY!

HMMM responsibility...

2008-08-19T22:32:00.003+08:00

RESPONSIBILITY...such a big word what does it mean?? accordin to my dictionary "being responsible(1. liable to be blame for loss or failure. 2. being the cause or the blame. 3. reliable. 4. involving important duties)" well those are the words i see when i look up resposibility and resposible...

Well how do i start off??...Hmmm..ever since i haf been elected into the commitee of VCF given some important tasks and etc.. I found out that me handling situations and how responsible I am is one of my weakest point...I am able to help any1 finish their task when ppl ask for help..but when becoming in charge of something well not so good..

Take example..the recent VCF welcoming celebration where I was made the OC..maybe due to my lack of responsiblity and inability to foresee some stuff the transportation to Tanjung Beach was chaotic till we had to use Mr. P car for double journey..and yea his fuel drop alot..and fuel in Malaysia is not cheap..

Another one is the scenario of the post celebration where all the used stuff was juz brought to a house counted the HQ of VCF...where most stuff are kept...somehow i kinda forgot and neglected it the water cooler and icebox were left unclean..when i went over there to get ready the drinks for the next celebration I found out was in shock!! I did clean the water cooler but again neglected the icebox..due to forgetfulness and etc..the list can go on..however i found out one of the members of the house could not take it anymore and cleaned the icebox and heard he vomited 4 times coz of the horrible smell...

The list of my irresponsibility and negligence to things continues...I am slowly trying to learn...hope every1 affected by this negative aspect and be patient and tolerate wif it as i try to keep improve..as I am not one of the most organized person..u step into my room and u know wat i mean...thanks and sorry for any problems caused and apologize beforehand...still trying to set my priorities right..

On a lighter note...LEE CHONG WEI whatever ppl say abt u..i dun care!!! u will be my hero!! u haf done Malaysia proud!! keep on fighting!!

KK TRIP '08

2008-07-17T15:52:00.002+08:00

I have delayed this long enough I guess. So, like what I promised, a blow by blow account of how the trip went.

So the trip consisted of 7 people. Mr Lau Waye Young, Mr Randy Pang, Mr Bernard Goh, Mr, Boon Kiat, ~~Miss~~ Mr Leong Jin Hua, Mr Sheah Yih and yours truly.

A few days before the trip, Lau took a flight from KL to Miri where I was supposed to act the chauffeur and get his ass back into Brunei. The trip to Miri was two fold, to fetch Lau and to buy some items necessary for the climb up Mt Kinabalu. Bought gloves, padded long pants and hiking boots there. A tip for those of you who are thinking about doing the same, I would recommend you to do the same, especially the ankle high hiking boots. Saved me from a lot of grief during the climb and descend. It all went well and we arrived home safely and he spent a night at my place. Can't really remember what else happened that day jeez...

Next day all of us congregated at Pang's crib to run through our plans, list of equipment and monetary issues. Some of us converted some dollars to ringgits with Pang's mom who gave us a very "reasonable" rate. *coughs* Also took some time to give the vehicles a general check-up. We were all supposed to retire early that night for the journey the next day but I dunno why but just couldn't make myself fall asleep. Was really worried about not being awake enough to drive tomorrow but since I couldn't help it, watched a movie and played some games to spend the time until finally dozing off.

So come sun rise, we all picked up our bags, threw them into the cars, had some breakfast and finally taking pics with our custom made - ♠ ÎňĐệί ♠™ - flag, we set off to the border. Meeting minimal traffic, we managed to get to KK in six hours with a stop for lunch in a town whose name I forgot. As you might know, we were divided into two vehicles- Pang's 4*4 and my red car. Pang was driving Jin, Boon and Bernard who switched rides for some parts of the journey and I was entrusted with the lives of Lau and SY. When we were driving through a town along the way, Lau, SY and I decided to stop by Sugarbun while Pang's car decided to go to KFC. We kept in touch thru the walkie-talkies until one point when we stopped hearing any replies from them . Shrugging it off, we decided to finish our meal before going in search for the others in KFC which we did. Finding the KFC in town, we went in and to our surprise, they weren't there. What ensued was a few frantic presses to the panic button of the walkie talkie to no reply. Puzzled we decided to use our other form of communication which isn't as cheap as the other. We called them, and to our surprise there were on the road to the next town. Perplexed, we questioned them about what happened to stopping by KFC and then after some explaining we figured out that they missed seeing the KFC in the last town. VERy lol inducing moment there.

Drove to next town (which was about 30-40 mins away), collected them from their KFC where we promptly started to trade insults as usual. Mostly aimed at Jin, which is again as usual. After that it was just one last final drive to KK where we started to have fun have fun zig zagging at top speeds between cars along the 4 lane highways. A malaysian Perdana joined in our over-taking sprees and we promptly gave showed it the finer points of high speed swervings + route picking. And then SY shouted in surprise that the high powered V6 proton is actually being driven by a girl! "Holy shit, not bad for a girl" was shouted into the walkie talkie. Considering the price of fuel in Malaysia, its surprising how she was gassing her V6 beast after us without any considerations. But then we lost sight of her after forcing our way between the spacing of two cars. Oh well :) At least made someone happy that day (she was smiling the whole time).

Had some trouble finding a hotel that day. All the hotels in town were fully occupied and we had to go a bit further out of town to Beverly Hotel. Had Burger King for dinner I think... and went for a movie in the cinema above Centerpoint. It was a freaking mistake.

Let me ask you this. What happens automatically whenever you enter a cinema? You become quiet right? You also stop taking phone calls. Apparently not for the people of KK. People all around us were talking all the way through the bloody movie. This guy behind me even made calls. THREE FREAKING TIMES! Second time he did it, I couldn't stop myself and made a sssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound until his called finished. Thinking its the last call he would make/pick-up, I settled back into the movie. THEN his phone ringed again and he picked it up. Jesus. I promptly went back to my shhhhhh-ing and eventually got so fed up I bounced up from slouching in my seat to an almost standing position, making a bang on the arm rests. I knew I couldn't turn back to look at him without losing my patience cos I knew he is a la-kia and to me, beating up a bum which la-kias all are ain't a crime. Sensing that my limit was reached, Bernard (who knows my volcanic moods) turned back to stare at the slime. We could hear his girl telling him to stop the call and not mess with us in malay. Ah the satisfaction from that pleading voice. She probably knew his life can just be bought like a peanut by any of us there. At least she is sensible. When the movie ended we all got up from our seats and I was staring at the guy, crushing up an empty bottle with my fist, daring him to look at me. Sadly he didn't, or that night would have been of more fun.

That night we also bought another important piece of equipment which we were lacking, portable light sources. Got myself a trusty headlamp which proved its usefulness to be worth its 190 tag several times over.

So next day we set off about mid morning to buy some final supplies before heading up the Mountain. On the way about half way up to the national park, we stopped by a restaurant which served the BEST mushrooms I ever had. And we spent most of the time soaking in the cool mountain air and insulting Jin's insistence that the restaurant is crap because of its look. Didn't know yer so shallow, Jin :P. hhaaha

Got the national park without much of a problem with the mists seeping in to block everything from view. We were assigned rooms at a newer building, Rock Hostel, with each room accommodating 4 persons. As we are 3, Pang Bernard and I had to share our room with guy from LA. Since there was still daylight, we decided to make use of the time to break into our new boots. Which was followed by a briefing by a small park warden and dinner. Before going to bed, Jin managed to pay us back for our endless busting of his nuts by winning big as the dealer for blackjack and sakikong. Can you imagine it? ALL of us lost. Not a single person won any money off him.

Did I mention how nice that mountain air was? We all woke up refreshed and ready to take on the big bad mountain. After breakfast, we met our guide and we were about to get into our shuttle to Timpohon gate for the ascend but then we decided on the spot to pay for the longer route. Told you we felt really ready. The car then dropped us off at the Mesilau trail which would take almost twice as long for us to reach Laban Rata (the place where we will sleep that night). Laughing it off, it finally started to sink in when the rains started a'fallin which further screwed up the endless ascends and descends along the route. Bernard, Pang and I pushed on until the yellow stoned portion of the trail when we left pang to wait for the others.

Bernard and I agreed, the biggest incentive or us to get to Laban Rata as quickly as possible was the food up there. We kept talking to each other between pants about what we are gonna buy once we arrive. Along the way, we over took some people who set out from Mesilau as well about 1 hour before us. Let that be a testament to how powerful a driving thought hunger can be.

Once at Laban rata we ordered lots of carbo rich roods. Then found out that we didn't have any ringgits with us. -___- So we decided to exchange just enough bruneian money to cover for the food, at a ghastly rate of 1.7? THAT'S HIGHWAY ROBBERY!

*sigh* At Laban Rata where its warm, we rested and I think I even took a nap, unsurprisingly. After about 40 plus minutes, we got up to seek for the place we would be sleeping, which is a special hut for people taking part in Via Ferrata, the Pendant Hut. There we were taught about the equipment we would be using and the safety measure to be heeded. And with that we retired early after a buffet dinner back at Laban Rata.

At about 2am, we all woke up for some final preparations. I wore two long sleeved shirts inside my sweater and the padded pants I bought in Miri. Had a quick and heavy breakfast of peanut butter and jam sandwiches and its time. In the dark of night, we were on our final ascend to the summit where Bernard saw a shooting star across the sky twice. Damn... all I saw was something like a shooting star flying past my peripheral vision, which I would not say 100% was a shooting star. :(

Several times, we stopped to wait for the stranglers of the group and parcel out choc rations and water. Then we noticed that the sun is almost up and to wait any longer and we would miss the sun rise. So Bernard and I rushed up the remainder of the way and reached the summit before the sun was up. Beautiful experience it was to stare at the surrounding land which were all shadowed slowly lighted up meters by meters. There was this european who was shouting toward the sun "oi! Do you have a watch?" Apparently he had been waiting for the sun to rise for quite sometime already. Then slowly, Pang and Lau arrived together with victorious grins lighting up their face in addition to the sun's fresh rays. We unfurled the - ♠ ÎňĐệί ♠™ - flag and took pics at the summit, shouting loudly as the pics were taken. =D

Because we had to reach a certain place on the mountain by a certain time to be able to do the Via Ferrata, we then rushed down the summit, meeting Jin on the way who was crawling the other way. We told him to hurry up if he didn't wanna miss the Via Ferrata and continued along. Further down, we collected Boon and SY who were both too tired and short of time to go for the summit and got ready for the Via Ferrata by the edge of one of the cliff faces of the mountain. Jin joined us in time to get his harness connected to our main line.

While being taught how to use the safety measure yesterday, I was decided to be the one leading the group while we do Via Ferrata because of my experience of wall climbing in Brunei. Being in the lead meant that I had to relay back to the others the places where I found to be more hazardous then normal and how to get past them. It also meant if I fell, there would only be Bernard (the second guy) to pull me back up to get a foothold and handhold. As we stepped over the edge to descend the rock face, we all agreed how crazy the drop was- it was a direct drop to the tree lines all the way to the base of the mountains. Scary. A bit.

So down we went cliff face to cliff face and finally as I rounded the corner of a wall, I saw a long bridge suspending between two rock faces with a waterfall in between. It was beautiful and the rocks far far away at the bottom of the ravine promised death to visitors. The act of getting onto and across the bridge was a shaky business, literally. We all had to thread very softly to avoid shaking the bridge too much. After I reached the other end and back onto a solid wall, I never knew I would ever be so grateful to be able to hang from a cliff. And I started thinking to myself, if this is the first bridge, what's the other one like? Remember we were briefed about the route? We were all given a very vivid description of the bridges and the second bridge sounded 10 (rounded off amount) times scarier.

I will continue the story some other time.
Shim, I hope this has satisfied your hunger, for the time being.
I swear this is like the longest post I had ever posted. *sigh*

ONCE AGAIN APOLOGIES... >.<>.<

2008-05-15T22:21:00.004+08:00

I used to assume that college was a haven for inspiration and creativity, a social transit for new and refreshing experiences, a nexus for all things new as well as global................That was until I met Maktab Duli..................*insert melodramatic bass background effect

The effect of this enormous disappointment as well as the sudden injection of 'Bruneian reality', has left the creative and imaginative part of my mind an empty shell, a void of nothingness, an entity comparable to that of a black hole, sucking in everything yet never producing anything.

All this, has of course resulted in me not posting anything on this blog as of late, or early, whatever. And of course I haven't constructed an overly complicated excuse for my inactivity the past few months. whatever.

This is usually the part where dismiss the above as background information and get on with a recount of my life. However, because I feel particularly like a jerk today, I shall hence conclude here. A lame excuse, no account of my life, no personal opinion on worldly events, no sarcastic humorous comments nor criticisms on any issue at all.

hehe, I love myself

Sennheiser PX100

2008-05-15T19:40:00.005+08:00

Yesterday, I busted my PX100, which was barely 1 month old. I was listening to music on the computer with my headphones on when I tried to stand up to walk to a nearby drawer. Obviously, the headphone's cables stopped me well short, the headphones themselves hanging haphazardly about my face after the strong jerk. The headphones are just too light for their own good: this has happened many many times, something that I never experienced with my old Phillips. But this time, I noticed something different after putting them back on properly on my ears. THERE IS NO SOUND FROM THE LEFT CHANNEL!

"Oh no!"- That was my first thought. Immediately, my hands went to the 3.5mm sound jack and I realized that the wire sticking out from the jack isn't straight as it was supposed to be. Timidly, I gave the wire a poke, straightening it and immediately the left channel went back on. The relief I felt after that was short lived due to the fact that dratted left went quiet again. That was when I realized that the jerk has broken free the left channel's wire from its solder.

Being a sea away from the nearest Sennheiser repair shop, I decided to go to some local electrical-supplies shop for help. What they told me is that I would need to replace the plug since there isn't a way for them to reach the wires without destroying the stock plug. Reluctantly, I gave them the green light and I watched in horror as one of them cut open the beautiful rubber protective cover of the plug revealing its insides. Surprisingly, the whole of the plug beneath the rubber coat is a huge chunk of white hard plastic and the guy decided that the whole thing has to go as well and went at it with a pair of ugly wire cutters. Now all that's left is the frayed wires- green and copper from one plus red and copper from the other. So he took out his soldering gun plus solder and tested it on my wire. After a few tries to gave everything back to me, frayed wires, broken 3.5mm jack and plastic coverings, telling me he can't help me since my wires wouldn't can't be soldered. Quoting him, "Those are special wires, our solders are not working on them."

Feeling rather dejected, I went back to my car with the 'junk' in my hands. At home I tried to find a short term solution to the problem by connecting the wires to the wires of a cut 3.5mm jack. Found out online that Red= right, Green= left and the copper wires from both wires are ground. No matter how sure I was about my set up, I just couldn't get sound to come out from the headphones. And so I called the Authorized dealer for Sennheiser products in Brunei and they directed me to another repair shop.

Next day I brought it to that place and the technician got down to work immediately. I was wondering about why he was using a blade to scrape at something on the frayed wires and he told me that these wires have a protective covering over them which must go before it can be soldered. He showed me what he meant and truly the unsolderable wires could be soldered after a few scrapes with a blade. Also he removed the yellowish fiber in the core of the individual wires.

And so, after a few minutes, 5 bucks and about 5 cm of the length of my cable, the headphones are working again.

Old jack and wires. Fibers coming out from the core of the green wire.

While doing my regular aimless trawling through the internet today, I happened across a very interesting website. www.engrish.com

Very amusing site. Gonna post some of the pics from the site here.

Like when I need a favor from Michael Jackson...

This won't take long, keep the engine running...

What? No cream filling?

Starbucks is mere foreplay... Uh... I don't think that's creamer

Whatever you do, don't try taking his pacifier...

My mom never let me play this one...

And to finish off, enjoy,
A small plane is flying with an american pilot and has three passengers - Atal Bihari, a Paki and a schoolboy with his backpack.
Mid way the plane catches fire and the american says -" Hello, this is ur captain speaking, the plane is on fire. Don't panic because there is good news and bad news. Good news is that there are parachutes but the bad news is that there are only three and iam taking one" so he picks up a parachute and he jumps.
Paki says to ABV and the schoolboy- " I need to bring the joy of jihad to this infidel world. And iam taking this one." so he picks and jumps.
ABV says to the schoolboy - " Allright son, I am old and I did the service for my motherland. U r young and have pletny of life ahead. So why don't u take the other parachute and jump?"
Schoolboy says: " Don't worry Atalji, we still have 2 parachutes. That Paki grabbed my backpack and jumped off."

Just found out how cool the site www.instructables.com is. Like by GOLLY-ish cool to the MAX.

Its a site where people post ideas and the instructions to accomplish those ideas. Mostly I just checked out wacky devices that makes any magnetic item float (http://www.instructables.com/id/Electromagnetic-Floater/)

to

Shopping cart lockers lol (http://www.instructables.com/id/EMP-shopping-cart-locker/

Really would love to try out the floater, but the parts list seems pretty daunting. I can readily bet that my school's science lab wouldn't have any of those. Poooh.

Today I rediscovered an old gem, an old friend I haven't had a chance to meet in quite sometime. I even took a few shots of my old mate and I am kind enough to show you all toas well.

Well there you go. Now that you know my old friend, let me tell you how our chanced meeting happened.

I was at Hua Ho Kiulap alone shopping for supplies, up the dairy section, down the juice street, picking up cheddar cheese and apple juice as I go along then all of a sudden when I was turning out of junk food road, something caught my eye. In bright orange packaging, and yellow lettering proclaiming to the world its name, my most sin-inducing item jumped me, with a vengeance, after a 4 months absence.

Suffice to say that I succumbed fully to the temptation, period

ps, pray for me.

Well just to finish up wat i left out after my recent post..tht is the winner of the competition..i guess u guys know about it either from newspaper or watching the news...but i might as well finish it up here..

so i'll start off wif the women's final which was held on Saturday..

as hot on to win the title..Sharapova did it with style(plus grunts ehehe)..finishin it in 7-5 6-3 straight sets!! at least Ivanovic did her best and fought till the end to thrill the Aussie crowd (well worth payin the ticket to see 2 beauties battle it out and quite competitive) :)

wow compare the trophy..damn so much diff!! :O

wow she looks so happy..so chun on tht day also her mum's bday ;p

as for the men's final held on Sunday..

as favourite to win..Djokovic did it!! so no upsets in the finals i guess..the Frenchman Tsonga did his best..but nerve and inexperience cause him the title...fighting strongly till the end..game ended 4-6 6-4 6-3 7-6...also thrilled the Aussie crowd!! ;)

mwahzzz!! he sure love his trophy..sori guys can't seem to find Tsonga holdin a trophy XD

juz can't leave this guy out..he shud be proud!! jumping from 38th in the world to 18th in the world!!

so wif tht Australia open ends..it has been an entertaining one can't wait for the French Open!!

food for thought...will this mark a new era of tennis?? Has Federer control of tennis come to an end?? so same goes to Nadal...we will see...

but to me its still early days..Federer did go into this tournament with a stomach virus or something lik tht..and Nadal has done himself quite well juz losin to the world no.3..i guess we will see him trash ppl in the French Open(his fav clay court!)..so tennis is in for an entertainin 2008!! the ball is round ehehe ;p

with this i end my post on the Australian Open!! maybe i shud be a sport pundit ahaha..hmmm maybe i shud try predicting football matches and see how i do...wat do u guys think?? worth a try?? then i post up my predictions so u guys can gamble on the games...aahaha gif me a comment whether i shud go and predict games and post it up for viewers to see..;p

Yo, recently uploaded two videos on youtube.

1) To Zanarkand - A real classic when it comes to final fantasy pieces. Though I'm usually reluctant when it comes to uploading 'known' music pieces, I suppose this would be an exception. Besides, it was my brother who played it, and he didn't have an account on youtube, hence, the sharing.

2) Devil May Cry anime opening - A great song for a great (though short-lived) anime. So far, I haven't been able to locate the piece played on piano, as opposed to the vast number played on guitar. And thus I remedied this by playing one on my own, with some improvisations.

Feel free to check them out and PLEASE comment.

To zanarkand - http://youtube.com/watch?v=LghuXu0zNG0

Devil may cry opening - http://youtube.com/watch?v=Mr-C7BrQiWs

P.S. I'm really getting lazy when it comes to posting. In fact, I'd like to give my praise and a 'kudos' to the great admin for his persistancy when it comes to keeping this blog alive.

RETIREMENT BONUS

If this doesn't
make you laugh, you are truly humor impaired!

The Navy found they had too many officers and decided to offer an
early retirement bonus. They promised any officer who volunteered for
retirement a bonus of $1,000 for every inch measured in a straight line between any two points in his body. The officer got to choose what those
two points would be.

The first officer who accepted asked that he
be measured from the top
of his head to the tip of his toes. He was measured
at six feet and
walked out with a bonus of
$72,000.

The second officer who accepted was a
little smarter and asked to be
measured from the tip of his out stretched
hands to his toes,He walked
out with
$96,000.

The third one was a non-commissioned
officer, a grizzly old Chief
who, when asked where he would like to be
measured replied, "From the
tip of my weenie to my testicles." It was
suggested by the pension man
that he might want to reconsider, explaining
about the nice big checks
the previous two officers had received. But the old
Chief insisted and
they decided to go along with him providing the
measurement was taken by
a medical
officer.

The medical officer arrived and
instructed the Chief to "drop 'em,"
which he did. The medical officer placed
the tape measure on the tip of
the Chief's weenie and began to work
back.

"Dear Lord!" he suddenly exclaimed, "Where
are your testicles?"

The old Chief calmly
replied, "Vietnam."

I have an announcement to make. I have been pondering about this for sometime now but finally I have decided. Let's hear it: I am sure during some point of life, I am going to enlist and experience army life.
There I have said it. Now, for the synchronized resounding voice of objections from relatives. Actually I have no idea how I am gonna break it to them, especially the 'rents.

Nevertheless, I stand firm behind my reasoning for this, which is simple, albeit it has been commented to be "stupid", "nonsensical" and "naive" by people around me. I figure that since MEN have been soldiering since before the gloom of the ages, consequently, to truly experience life to the fullest, I have to have at least some experience of military life packaged with all the risks, hardship (both physical and mental) and trials involved.

I have even laid out plans on how to work this tenure around my academic life in Uni. Furthermore, I have also decided on which country's armed forces I would get myself involved in.

Hopes everything works out fine.

cars

2008-01-02T01:26:00.000+08:00

Lost control of my car for the first time ever yesterday early in the morning. If asked to describe it, I would have to say that it was cool. What I tried to do was drift around the (new) roundabout inside KG Mata-mata but I guess I applied a wee bit too much weight on the clutch which resulted in too little power going to the rear wheels, resulting in an almost 180 degrees spin of my car. Wooh.

I was watching topgear reviewing the new evoX earlier, and its marvelous. And its also incredibly cheap, for something that good. *sigh* I need a new toy. My presea is ok i suppose but just not good enough :(

Had a drive in a brilliant car earlier this week. Reached 240kph without a sweat. It felt more like 160. Really, the ride was that smooth. Freakin hell. Managed to piss of several malay dudes as well. Jeez, I signaled ok, what's his problem. Bet he was just bitter cos he couldn't even dream of catching me with his girl next to him. Sad. At least he tried. I saw him again when I U-turned for a second round and he literally leaned out his window to flip me the bird and flavoured the air with the F-word. Imaginative fellow. All I did was point at myself and gave him a thumbs up. You get me?

Thinking about the next step.

weird search keywords

2007-12-23T01:57:00.000+08:00

soo just got home from a Christmas family get-together in seria. A day after spending a night in miri. Gotta say, long drives in killer thunderstorms are not fun at all, especially with the blinding lightnings and punctuating thunder keeping you awake.

Just now, being jobless as usual, I went to the statcounter page for this blog and checked out the keyword history for my... OUR blog. Well, I was shocked by what I saw. Under search terms, these few entries came out:
1.arse pics female (WTF?)
2.www.khidmatnegara.com
3.blog md maktab duli
4.bored arse studies
5.shim de zhen (WTF?*2)
6.camera going through a womans arse (?!??!?*faints*)
7.boredass.blogspot.com

You get my point? Somebody actually googled Shim De Zhen. *whacks head* I have my suspicions on WHO that person is (I have HIS IP haha). Ok enough of this. I suppose my choice of 'Arse' as a part of my blog's name has worked in attracting some kinky attention eh? What a great world this is.

jay chou

2007-12-19T04:46:00.000+08:00

jAY chou recently released a new album, Jay Chou- On the Run. I wouldn't admit to understanding why its given that title but then nobody ever said his english is that spot on right? Feel free to correct me if you find me erred. After a quick browse throught the 10 tracks in the album, I noticed the tone down of the hip hop factor in the tracks this time round. The only track which contained any resemblence to hip hop mucis was track number 8 with the title Che. Not as catchy as the hip hop I have come to expecte from Jay Chou but I suppose its good enough.

While listening to the last track of the album, the cord progression unconciously brought into my mind a past Music video I remember watching on MTV or something else. Which wasn't a work of Jay chou. I can't remember the name of that Music video I recall but it has something to do with a bald old guy dressing as a woman with a wig on... a young girl in underwear looking at herself in the mirror, thinking of getting skinnier, a guy working out in his room trying to get muscles like the poster he has on his wall and other stuff like that.

By the way, have I ever mentioned how annoying it is to install Adobe CS3? I had to reinstall my copy of CS3 and so many errors appeared on installation. I had to manually remove other Adobe products plus download a script to remove anything adobe related in my computer, including my registry, to finally be able to install CS3. Jeeeez. Can't all of those manual steps be included in the actualy installation process next time? At least I got my Adobe Bridge back working. *sigh of relieve*

I am just gonna rant a little further since I am on the topic of software anyways. Updating software! Rather the chore of updating. Steam is such a great platform, enabling me to update all my Steam-published games effortlessly, but the process of updating the Steam platform itself is so bugged its funny. I guess it isn't a software problem, more like a service problem cos of overload? I dunno, don't look at me.

SHIT! My Company of Heroes update just encountered a fatal error which crashed the whole desktop. @$%@^@$%^@$$#

Oh and to those that have yet to lay your hands on a copy of Call of Duty 4, all I have to say, as a person who has completed the game, is this: I believe that CoD4 is the closest I will ever get to experience killing terrorists as a SAS agent or a US grunt.
I dunno why but CoD4 connected with me more than Crysis, under all its Directx10 glory. I have to admit, hunting Koreans instead of the typical video game fodder of Nazis, Japanese and pedestrians etc was fun and also the unbelievably pretty game environment too but the game just didn't connect with me as deeply and effortlessly like how CoD4 did.

Alright I better post this up before my whole comp crashes from instability.
Oh one other thing before I leave, believe it or not, Firefox is now my secondary browser, after Apple Safari. It is in the Beta stage of its development, and it shows, but hell does it render pages/javascript quickly. Really impressive.

2007-12-09T21:08:00.000+08:00

Wooh. The overwhelming number of activity in this blog. Simply breath-taking eh? Damn, but please, excuse my french.

Alrighty then. Firstly, our good ol' shimmy boy there brought into my attention an amazing pianist/ composer. His youtube username is kyle556 and the pieces he had composed and uploaded to youtube is just soooo good. You have GOT to check him out. I guess girls will agree that he is cute as well, but I digress. You get my point. I am awed. You should be. :P

Oh and I amazingly cleaned my car outside and inside today. Had to agree that it was a real mess after going through and vacuuming the crap on the rubbery thing you put your legs on. Ah dirt-guard dare I say? No idea what you call it.

Hmm on another note, empire was fun. Really miss the experience, all 5 days of em. Go to my account on facebook to check out the pics I took there. I know it doesn't really count but I have to say that the pieces we performed were very good. Plus, it was my first experience of a fully-fledged disco party with lights and shit.

Alright then, let me go ahead and continue my december hols while looking forward to the start of mocks on the 2nd day of returning to school.

I admit, it's been a hell of a long time since anyone besides Nyau ( bless him and may he be continuous in his tenacious and persistent posting habit) blogged. Fact is, majority of us are bogged up by the likes of schoolwork, homework and of course, not forgetting the all important yet constipating monthly tests and exams. Indeed, the last three months resembled much like a cycle of torture, endless and excruciating as well as giving you that odd sense of melancholic doom which you experience during the aftermath of each sitting.

Anyways, I'm reaching 18 soon ( read my profile ) and am about to take my first step to adulthood by learning how to handle an automobile, not to say I haven't been acting mature before, if you get the picture ( Hehe!).

In fact, on Tuesday, the 6th of November, in a deserted parking lot ( There were joggers though, but they were wise to stay away from the potential mobile disaster), I, Shim De Zhen, ambitious extraordinare, placed my virgin-steering hands on the wheel of an actual operating car. Not immobile, not fake, nor simulated, but a fully functional four wheeled steel machine of locomotion. It was a monumental event, and even the fact that I was test-driving my mother's Mistubishi Pajero, a white and edgy abomination, driven in manual, did nothing to hinder my feelings of attainment. It is in my dream, that I will be able to tame this wild beast sufficiently to smooth sail across the tarmac roads of thy state.

Besides that, I've been keeping myself busy by composing a piece on the soundtrack of the game I recently bought. To any of you who played Warriors Orochi, you'll recognise this as the gallery theme. I posted the video on Youtube and there were a few mistakes, so be forgiving.

unfortunate

2007-11-09T05:22:00.000+08:00

I have just realised something very unfortunate today: my brain only works in the early AM period of the day. Well that's screwed up cos its supposed to be the time when I should be sleeping and resting myself for the next day. This explains why I always tend to doze off in classes. Fixed schooling hours are one of the biggest absurdities of life.

DREAMS

2007-10-25T00:57:00.000+08:00

If there is only reason why we should get Windows Vista Ultimate, it is the "Windows Dreamscene" feature which is not available for the other Vista editions. It is an utility which allows the usage of video clips as desktop wallpapers. Since the program can only be installed on Vista Ultimates, the users of other versions of Vista started to feel lonely because they would be left out of a cool feature and so naturally a series of hacked .bat files were written to enable it on the other versions too. Officially the clips for Dreamscene would be in .dream format but it appears that clips of .mpg and .wmv can be used too if they are manually placed in a folder under windows/web.

The introduction of the new *cracked* .bat files into my computer was scary cos I had to do it manually. Of course I set up a restore point before just to make sure in case of any unfortunate happenings. The registry files were also required to be edited.

But of course, everything was worth it in the end. Now I get great animated desktop backgrounds instead of the typical pictures of scantily clad of female models/actresses that always crowd my desktop. XD

For anybody that's interested in this check out this forum http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=43027
and follow the manual instructions since the auto-install has something wrong with it. For troubleshooting, refer to this forum where some problems were voiced and solved or you can just ask me or something (haha :P).

alright goodnight folks

I was just going through the old pics in my computer, reminiscing, and I came across this shot which was under-exposed. Toying around with the hue and shadows resulted in this:

NO I DON'T WANNA BE FRIGGIN BITTEN BY VAMPS/ZOMBIES... zzz Grow up people. etc. Not just that, the whole process of saying no to every invite is so stupidly time consuming I just ignore them altogether now a days, hence the long longgg lists of pending invites.

2007-10-01T00:19:00.000+08:00

how do you do? it has been quite some time since i last posted anything on the blog! much apologies. i COULD go into detail about why i have not been blogging. but im not some bitch who gives excuses =P (sorry for the profanity).

anyway, lets move on. I just came back from The Leadership Training Camp just now. So, i guess im going to tell u what i have been doing during the weekend.

The first day(night) of the LTC was on friday. 6.45 pm was registration time for the committee members of the INTI-UC affiliate committee members. Before that the INTIMA(student council) members had to prepare the sports hall for the camp. so blablablabla. After the registration we were divided into groups. I was advising Group 6 (the last one). btw i cannot be a participant as im a member of the student council now. (did i tell u that? no? opps =D)

anyway we had activities throughout the night which were very entertaining. ended up sleeping at 1.15 am... but chatted till about 2? lol.

anyway.. i had to wake up at around 4.40am to get things done for our trip to Dusun Eco Resort. our bus was supposed to leave at 6.30 but the drivers dint arrive till 7? =.=" well anyway i was frigging tired so i visited slumberland till we arrived at the resort at around 10+. then all the participants proceeded to get their tummies satisfied. i stayed in a chalet with two Student Affairs Officers and my Head of Program (Also my maths lecturer >.< lol). and dont worry.. no homosexual behaviour occured (this sentence is added to quash any thoughts about the subject ,esp. nyau. jk) XD.

during the day we had some sessions where the officers or the student council members talk (giving a leccture). then during the afternoon we went for the obstacle courses. it was darn fun.. had to climb a 10 foot wall, go through a "spider web" without touching the "web". er... cargo climb.. jump through tires without touching the inner rims, commando cropping( wading through mud where barbed wire was above you). some people were a wee bit unlucky at this part O.O. and a few more which i dont know whatever they are called lol.

Then we had a captain ball competition! our group won ^^v lol. long time no play liaoo. very fun wei xD.

then we were all poofed out and went back to the chalet to have a shower. The water was great as it comes from the mountain. (btw the chalet isnt 5 stars or anything.. but it was still decent). after cleaning up.. we had dinner.. and had one more session. yada yada. then around 10+ we had a BBQ! enjoyed the food somewhat. then some of the participants(20+) played 'mafia'. its different from the mafia i learnt in brunei. in this game the mafias, spies and doctors(who tries to save civilians) are also selected by drawing cards. first everyone is instructed to close their eyes and face the ground by the middle man. Then the mafia are instructed to open their eyes and decide among themselves which target to kill. then after the mafias are instructed to close their eyes, the spies are called upon to open theirs. they decide among themselves and point at anyone who they think is a mafia. the middle man then informs them whether they are right or wrong. (this is all done without emitting sound from the oral region). then after the spies close their eyes the doctor(s) open their eyes and decide which member to save. they point at the selected member and is then instructed to close their eyes in their middle man. then all of the participants are instructed to open their eyes. then the middle man says, "the night is horrible/peaceful.... and points to the killed participant" based upon whether the doctor manages to save the member being targeted by the mafias. the killed participant may give comments on who is the mafia. then the participants vote on who should be eliminated by trying to guess who is the mafia. of course the nominated candidate may crap as much as he/she wants to provide defence. so this goes on and on till all the mafia are found or till all the civilians are dead meat. anyway we finished playing at around 1+.

the next morning(sunday) we went jungle treking.. the whole journey took about 2 hours. i ended up with some cut when i "accidentally" stepped into a region where spines grow. well done, i know. anyway we had our lunch and the closing ceremony somewhat simulteneously. our group dint get first place by the slightest of margins! (really really slight). well its not that important anyway. i made some new friends along the way and enjoyed my time there tremendously!! arrived back in INTI at around 5 ish.. then dropped dead till 10+pm and now blogging at the request of our dear leader. i would like to apoligize if i wasted your precious time.. i know my storytelling prowess aint all that great lol. till the next post!

I came upon this comic strip and I must say its good. If I remember correctly, PC Gamer includes a strip in everyone of its publications but I haven't seen them for some time now. Weird. Its called Penny Arcade and this specific strip I really liked is on 'Keeping Secrets'. Here's a link to it http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/05/23

Well. As usual, school's shit, which results in my life being shit, which involves my health being shit... and so on, until it returns to effecting my school being shitty. A vicious endless circle it is.

Oh and bruneian students, we should really get involved in this forum more since it really relates to us. http://bruneistudent.com/board/index.php?act=idx

The people in there tend to integrate a lot of bahasa melayu into their posts which gets annoying but I think this is the most widely accessed forum in brunei at the moment.

I received a beautiful gift today from a family friend. It was during lunch today and I was pleasantly surprised. Let me describe what is it. its a piece of carved jade in the form of Buddha, with brown twine forming a necklace.

Like what the basketball commentator in the recent Brunei cup would say:"Izz aaa beutyyy!!!"

Oh and it seems like I am now the oldest member of the youngest generation of my family currently living in Brunei. The next older cousin just left for her further studies overseas. She is doing great and will always be I can tell. Cheers.

Blimey! It's been quite the period since I posted anything, hasn't it? But you needn't worry, for there will be no sappy excuse following the hiatus about being busy, being taken up by studies, being emotionally unstable, being uncreative, forgetting the blog, forgetting how to type, forgetting English..........................anyways, you get the picture.

In actuality, I feel remorse and am disappointed with myself. I have failed the the blog and also the brotherhood of thy fellow boredassians. I have failed the visitors and dare I say it, the fans of the site. (Would that be going too far?) Most importantly, I have failed the site itself and only through this regretful (grovelling) yet expressive message will I be able to lighten my own mood.

Recently, I've been feeling quite lost, in other words, aimless. I drift through everyday with little care, as if in a trance, a semi-conscious state of sorts, unalert, unexcited, bored and unwilling to respond. This continuous cycle is taking its toll and I feel weary of every coming day. What is my goal? What do I live for? What do my parents live for? What does my brother live for? What does G.W.Bush live for? ( Sorry, stupid question) What do anyone of you live for? My teenage years are rushing by and soon they will be but a fleeting memory, evidenced and solidified by mere pieces of photographed moments.

With every passing wake, I find myself gradually becoming reality-confused. The satisfaction of alternate lives and fantasies envelope me, a place where second chances are possible and every mistake made correctable. The joy of dissolving one's self into the abundance of video games, books, fanfictions, comics, dramas, dreams and imaginations. The chance to cross worldly boundaries and experience events and happenings which otherwise remain impossible if I were to return to my real body and mind. And yet, obligations anchor me to this damned alcove of tedious chapters and repetitive installations. I look forward to the dawn when dreams and hallucinations merge with reality, for then will I be able to live fully.

Perhaps I don't appreciate my life very much. Not one day passes without my ears receiving news of the suffering and demise of others. Not one day do I not hear a fellow person preaching as to how the blessed we are in this country where peace reigns and chaos is but an infrequent visitor. Despite all, my dreams remain but a want , and my wants remain but a dream.

A tribute

2007-07-22T23:10:00.000+08:00

Closing the back cover of the 607 pages thick book, my mind was numb from all that I had just taken in in the past 24 hours. Silently my mind reached out to the next step which my mind was confident would come sometime in the future but then I gently reminded myself that the journey down the 6 steps, which spanned a decade, was finally at a close. I ran my fingers slowly down the rough and black back cover of the tome, remembering the joyous and triumphant moments, the darkest moments that filled me with despair and most of all the numerous victims of death. I smiled in wonder as again, my mind relived the moments when bright lights finally found ways to shine into the dark caverns of mystery.

But again and again, the final moments of this long journey comes into my mind, giving frightening trembles and wondrous 'OH!'s.

This last book symbolizes the end of my youth-filled years as much as it does to Harry's and his many friends.

To the wonderful Joanne Rowling, I am full of pride to have had the honour of growing up with your magical masterpiece which I am sure the other readers my age would agree. Thank you for giving us something magical to look forward to throughout our teenage years.

Nyau- An avid Harry Potter fan since y2k at the age of 11.

I know it's rather lame but it's all I've got. I've been having this thinking drought lately and yea.....................no humorous thoughts for a while.

Anyways, here's a couple of two liners to light up your day........or night.........depending on your current time. ( Corny eh?)

1) What is true strength?
Ans: True strength is breaking a chocolate bar into four pieces and eating only one.

2) What is the definition of coffee?
Ans: It refers to a person being 'coughed' upon.

3) What happened to the black bean after it fell off the table?
Ans: It became a red bean due to excessive bleeding.

4) What is the similarity between a Nintendo DS and Michael Jackson?
Ans: They are both made of plastic and kids turn them on.

5) An intelligent woman, the Easter bunny and a smart politician stood in an elevator. There's a 1000 dollar note on the floor of the elevator. Who's the first to pick it up?
Ans: The intelligent woman. The other two don't exist.

6) Why didn't the vampire cross the road?
Ans: Because vampires hate crosses.

*big sigh* I am so disappointed lorzzz. Just got out from watching Harry Potter V and I am so NOT satisfied!! Firstly, why all the removed contents? I am talking about the scenes in the Ministry. Everything rushed by so quickly. Wait, what am I talking about? No, the whole movie felt so very rushed. And to what end? Only 2 hours and a few minutes long. Why not make it longer but more fully fleshed? All the sights and sounds I have pictured in my head from reading the book alone are not shown. But still I must say, The Umbridge role was well played. Same thing with Luna. Good casting and acting on their parts. Ron and Hermione seem to play such minor roles now... like I said, everything just passed by so quickly, especially the Defence against the dark arts training lessons given by Harry. Not forgetting the many interactions missing between the Order of the Pheonix members. Very disappointing indeed.

This confirms a gnawing fear I have been harbouring for this 5th installation. Since it is the longest book written by J.K. Rowling, its adaption from book to the silver screen must be a tough task indeed for the screen writers of the movie, cutting out many scenes deemed 'unessential' but which were actually lovingly treasured by fans and impatiently waited on to be witnessed.

I am sure the folks involved in planning and filming the movie did their best job to be loyal in every espect to Rowling's work and the changes made were all done for the best.

Oh and I almost forgot, it seems like the centaur divination teacher was absent from the movie as well. And I didn't expect Hagrid's brother to be that young looking. I imagined him to be more rugged in appearance. Now he looks like an overgrown baby who has gone through many bad neighbourhoods. Pffft

That's all from me now.

Yeahhh the exams are finally over today. It was one hell of a nice closing for our Year 12 end of year exams which spanned over a period of 14 days (of which 8 of them were spent lazing about and relaxing, at home and at other more interesting places =D).

I will be truthful here with you fellows. I have not been doing my best for this exam. Seriously. My mandarin is screwed. My physics is... not looking good. The chem paper today was grim. Dad threatened to pull me out from the IB if I were to get a low score.

For some solace, I went around Youtube's humour channels and got hooked up on one of the comedians there. His identity there is kevjumba and he rocks! haha go and watch his videos too if you can find the time to. Badminton game this week hopefully. Its been long. Oh and I bought a 10LBs bucket of Muscle Juice. Its a kind of Whey protein which SHOULD help me gain weight.

Ok that's all for now. Night.

this is it!

2007-05-21T17:50:00.000+08:00

wooo this is it!!! The moment I have been waiting for. Ok soo exams are currently going on but Who Cares? Hell I am even gonna be re-sitting for my BM O levels papers in 3 days but hell you know I have always been screwed at that subject. The funny thing is, I am so glad that the exams are currently going on. Wanna know why? Well, that's the ONLY time in the year when I have no homework to worry about. Seriously. The joy of having holidays has been tainted by the presence of the oh-so-hated multitude of assignments. Oh God bless the exams, and why can't we have MORE of it? I would happily trade away the homeworks for non-stop exams and tests.

How was that insightful trip inside my horrendously twisted mind? (Taking deep breaths) Ok now that felt much more better. =) Ranting should be formally listed as a method of psychotherapy. Ohhh, I can't wait for this exam to pass. That's because of the few things that are coming up which I really look forward to and nonetheless, a certain something was announced this past weekend which lifted my spirits by a lot. Thanks a bunch to Jin for giving me wind of it. Its great to know that its finally official now. =D

As most of you might know, I am actually gaining weight at the moment. Can't describe how happy I am at finally achieving this feat. Two weeks ago, I set my sights on the 80kg mark and aimed to reach that target my mid August. But then I have been thinking... that gain of weight might be a serious hamper on my long distance running as the optimum weight for that is around the 60-65kg mark. Well to strike a balance between the two I have finalized my target to 75kg, which is respectable enough yet not that much of a burden. I am currently hovering around 68 to 69kg so I guess 75 isn't that terribly ambitious at all with the help of some whey protein shakes and intensive weight training.

Woo end of this week there is gonna be a physics trip to Jerudong Park. Gonna be conducting some data gathering of some sort, I am not sure. We haven't had any proper discussions about what we are gonna be doing yet. But hell its gonna be fun. Oh and also there is the Group 4 project coming up too. The area of investigation is going to be the Serasa Yacht club. We were divided into groups consisting of kids from multiple fields for example, my group has 3 physics and chem students, 2 biology and 2 DT students. Our group is gonna study sand. :)

Oh and finally, the announcement I mentioned earlier. Well, it is now official, STARCRAFT 2 is in the works and its already in the pre-alpha stages of development. The official ceremony was held in Korea where the biggest player/fan base for Starcraft is. I have seen the screenshots and videos released and I have to say that I am dying to play it. But on a sadder note, no release date has been announced so... oh well.

Ah almost forgot, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! Wooo I can't wait for it to come out! I paid a deposit for the book a few months ago and I squirm with anticipation every time I see receipt. hahaha You all must think I am a nut but then I hope I can justify this strong attachment to the series by saying that I have literally grown up with the characters, as have several million other children out there. The upcoming movie looks fabulous too. Emma Watson is getting prettier by the year.

That's all from me now fellas. Gotta get myself well fed.

ah. back to blogging.. inti is so dead.. the total number of instances to blog about lies perilously close to nil =.= anyway... let us travel into the past.. monday... first day of class. i entered the moral lecture hall. Sat down. After a while the lecturer came in and accused me of being a potential rapist wth man!!!!!!!!! he told the girls that in the future they shouldn't wait for him inside the lecture hall. Because apparently, the lecture halls are the perfect place for rape: the doors can be locked from inside, no windows on the doors so you cannot peer inside, the whole room is sound-proof AND fire and flood proof as well =.= . Hence, he turned to all the guys and said that we all were potential rapists.... great stuff.. with his explaination in vivid detail, one has to wonder how much experience he has on the subject.

well apparently he hasn't stopped picking on the guys (especially yours truly.) he pointed to a random person in the room and asked him why he wore a shirt without collars. the lecturer then proceeded to say that shirts without collars should only be worn at home. Since i (luckily, or so i thought) wore a collar t-shirt i thought i was safe. bUT he turned toward me. "EH you wear collar shirt why don't tuck in!" *anvil coming from sky bashing my head causing my jaw to drop* the funny thing was.. his belt was undone when he was criticising our dress code. and hastily replaced it after he noticed. (hahaha loser)

notice the lack of mention of female criticism. well now we can be SURE about his experience.

" Socialisation is essential to the working establishments of society, past, present and future. It is with socialisation that we learn and internalise the culture, norm and values of society. Our behaviour is manipulated to fit the societical stereotype and we are drilled to distinguish what is considered valuable to society and in the process recognize what is of value to us. Our expectations are canalized towards what society provides. For instance, us men dream and aspire to become rich. Why? It is because, we are made materialistic, and only by being rich can we accumulate the symbols associated with wealth, such as, a big car.................., a big house............, a big garden.........., a big pool..........................

I've been experiencing something alarming these two days. On Monday, after a long period of non-sweating, I decided to do some heavy cardiovascular exercise. Everything went fine until decided to do the rope jumping. The individual jumps went fine and so i decided to up the ante by jumping double cycles. Suddenly i felt extreme pain in the back of my head ( imagine getting your bare brain whacked with a bat). It lasted about 6 to 7 minutes before going away.

Thinking it was probably a one time thing, i decided to do the rope jumping again on Tuesday. I didn't even make it to the 30th jump when i felt the pain again. Same thing happened today.

I am very much panicked over the matter and hope very dearly that it's not something serious like a tumor or even cancer ( *cross my heart and hope to die). On a relieving note, other strenuous exercises like basketball or running don't trigger the bloody pain. I don't have any problems shaking my head vigorously, sidewards nor vertically. Nor do I have problems with thinking (*shudders).

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

I'm now doing a survey and would like everyone, boredass members and readers to comment about it. You see, there are lots of societies in my school and there's one for those who have left school. Once in a while, they will hold a tea party or some volunteering activity such as cleaning up a nearby park, etc. But in order to join, I'll have to pay 5-10 bucks. If you were me, would you like to join it? Please feel free to post your comment on the boredass Cbox or send me an email to kevincjx@gmail.com. Your help is very much appreciated. Cheers!

A good day to all. Heard a joke the other day on television and felt that there is credibility in sharing it with you.

A group of women were talking about men and how complicated their mindsets are.(Are you kidding me?!!) To illustrate their point, one made a joke:

Cindy Crawford ( a famous real life model; in case you didn't know) and her pilot, a guy, were on a plane flying to god knows where. Suddenly, their plane malfunctioned and crashed on a deserted island.

Deciding to make good on the situation, they started building camp and the guy was tasked to do manual labor like cutting trees, building fires and the works while Cindy did her respective part. After a week, nature decided to intervene seeing that they were both healthy adults and thus they decided to do the horizontal tango. ( You should know what this means)

However, about one week later, Cindy noticed that her guy pilot was suffering from a case of depression and mood swings. Seeing that he was her only company, and not wanting to have to deal with a moody adolescent man, she approached him and asked about his recent change in behavior. He didn't answer her but instead asked her to do him two favors if she really wanted him to be happy. She agreed.

His first request was for her to dress up like a man. Although curious, she forgoed the questions and used sand from the beach to dirty up her face and also roughened up her hair, making her look more masculine. Next, he requested for her to take a walk along the beach. Once again she became curious at the simple request but decided against asking him and instead did what he asked.

While she was taking that supposed walk, the guy suddenly sauntered up to her and said with an arrogant smirk ," Hey man, what's up ! Guess what, I BEDDED Cindy Crawford!"

I'll leave you to make up your own conclusions. But know this, I am very much against the aforementioned group and the topic.

P.S. The original joke was much shorter and not so detailed.

overclocking phrase 2

2007-03-27T13:53:00.000+08:00

Okay so I was doing some extensive system testing this morning and I have found several problems. I experienced a drop of framerates in Company of Heroes and also an instance when the whole system crashed. Weird. Thinking that maybe its due to the latency of the RAM. Sheesh Cos CoH is very memory intensive. I also know that 1GB isn't enough for maxed up settings.

Other games like HL2 and CS: Source were fine with everything maxed. Haven't tried Doom yet cause I was too busy fragging people from HK and Thai through Steam. =D

Oh and I know I am a nerd. =p

overclocking

2007-03-27T02:55:00.000+08:00

Hey all,

well I was very bored today. And because of that I decided to experiment on something new! Finally gave my rig a taste of overclocking. Wooah so I read up some materials online about overclocking and updated my BIOS, and making a backup just in case, downloaded some programs needed to test out the stability of my overclocked system and another program to check out the details. So with everything set I was ready to go.

Restarted the computer, went to the C-MOS screen before booting and tweaked around with the clockspeed. Incidentally my motherboard was built with soo many overclocking tools and I was kinda surprised. Just to simplify matters a bit for me, I let the BIOS control the voltage automatically. That saved me with the murderously complicated clock-cycles and latencies connected with overclocking the RAM. So at first I just upped the Front Side Bus from 266 to 280Mhz and after a multiplier of 9 it becomes 2.5Ghz. Was trying to be safe k. Booted up the system. Ran the tests and everything was okay.

Now 2.5 Ghz... that isn't much different from the 2.4 I started off with. So I upped if further by setting the FSB to 300 and after that to 330. So now my cpu is running at 2.97Ghz. =) As I am typing this, I am running two executable of Prime95, the testing software. One is doing a memory intensive loop and the other is doing CPU intensive tests.

Here are some screenshots of the running tests and the system's performance as the tests are being run.

Was testing out the performance on games just now and there was a noticeable lack of stuttering in Oblivion with maxed out video settings and extra eye-candy mods (ie. higher resolution trees, grass, water effects... etc). So I can't say that this overclocking didn't do any good. =)

Okay that's all for now.
Nights fellas

Greetings and salutations everyone. I apologize for the absence of my presence. I find it difficult to blog as things here are quite routine (i.e. deadly boring) but im not complaining. Anyway, since the other 2 members are talking about their studies, I will just follow suit.

A Levels are crap. lol. I sincerely dislike (wait... no. despise) the quizzes, assignments and tests piling upon me (this is still excluding homework). Actually, they aren't so bad. Except for the fact the scores will be accumulated and added to the total score at the end of the semester. I mean, A levels is purely an external exam, why in the world would they hafto take internal scores into account?!?!(actually i can think of alot of reasons, but i prefer to ignore them at the moment)

Our lecturers are..... not so great. Our chem lecturer cant pronounce properly (e.g above = abuuff). It's really funny to hear but when we catch wind of it we keep our sanity and straight faces (well.. try to). Our physics lecturer makes things so simple that it becomes complicated. well if the highest score in the class is 1.5/5 , u can do the math (btw i got 1.0, i am starting to dislike physics). Our maths lecturer teaches directly off the textbook ( but generally is still ok).
Our bio lecturer keeps on laughing, which is a good thing. However she is good at teaching. Probably she is the only one which is under the "good" category. Btw, she is actually not teaching us in the next semester. (=.=)"""

oh yes.. however or Malaysian Studies Lecturer really takes the cake. He is very entertaining especially when he was talking about condoms and stuff. really hilarious.

He asked how many students seen condoms before (some arms raised). then he said the daughter (which is like 4 or 5??) saw it before. She even held the condom up while saying , "this is daddy's oneeee~".

And he must have an insane youth. When he was in form 4, his friends and he organised a birthday party for a girl. So.. one smart ass guy decided to buy a condom. So they packed the usual stuff (oranges and the like..) plus the condom into a box. They had a rule that the girls had to follow the guys rules in opening the presents and stuff. So during the party, the girls opened the box. Removed the oranges, blablabla. Then, the birthday girl held up the condom and said, "what's thiss???".

And then a really smart ass guy said, "oh this one is a new type of balloon!". The birthday girl sensing something wrong replied, "But why so oily one???". I have to applaud this guy, he said," ohhh~ the oil is to make it more elastic and can blow bigger. Now we want you to blow the ballooon." And so the girls one after the other all tried to blow the condom, while the boys lauged like maniacs. (btw they failed). If i can get the audio of the lecture with my hysterical laughter and my friends darn funny comments, i might pass it around XD.

thats all for now,
Young

Pleasantries to everyone, visitors and members alike. It seems that there has been a drought in the updating rate recently. Although some selfish, lethargic dushbag very persistently insists that I'm at fault, the real reason is of course, the lack of appropriate timing. For the lack of better wording, the rest of us really are short handed on time.

It seems that A levels is on an entirely different level altogether ( forgive the bad pun) from O levels. It's not that the subjects are really that difficult, on the contrary, maths is almost exactly similar in difficulty to O level additional maths. It's the amount of workload we have to present everyday as homework. Not to mention that there are monthly reports done on those assignments. Tests are always around the corner, keeping us on our toes. Besides all this, my mom has taken a very keen interest to my sleeping habits, ensuring I get at least 8 hours of dozing everyday. ( And for your information, I am most creative at night, way past night actually)

Anyway, I've got a terrific sociology teacher. His way of teaching is simply too unique for words. The way he puts things into perspectives makes him seem like a natural at sociology. Some of his present to day quotes:

"What is socialisation? ( Official term: The process of learning and incorporating of the cultures of one's society, and in the process establishing it as a norm for everyday society life.) I never used to wash my car. Never did it in England, and sure did not plan to do it when I came to Brunei. Then, one day, as I was driving my car around, I noticed people. People's stares. People's stares directed at my car. Then at me. The stares made me uncomfortable. They made me feel uneasy. Most of all, they made me done what I have never done before. They made me wash my car."

"Brunei is a weird. It is neither an industrial nor post-industrial society. Brunei is weird, it being uncategorizable. I don't like to live here. I like cities. There are many people. I can rest in peace knowing that when I meet someone, I can be sure that I'm not gonna be meeting them again. I like cities, because when I'm in a subway train, I can openly stare at the pretty lady sitting in front of me, knowing that I'll probably never meet her again. Here, in Brunei, I can't do that. There's a big possibility that I'll see her face again. And I don't want that. It makes me feel uneasy. It makes me feel uncomfortable. It makes me feel like a criminal. A criminal who stares at pretty ladies openly. "

" When a person is caught doing drugs, people with whom he was acquainted with will drastically change their opinions of him. They will label him as a drug addict. His previous accomplishments will mean nothing. They label him and shun him. They expect him to go back to doing drugs. And what does he do? He goes back to doing drugs. He gets caught again and sent to rehabilitation centers. And whom does he meet there? Drug addicts! And what are they learning about? Drugs! Thus, in essence, they are in drug school. And what do we call this. This is the perspective from an in-te-rac-tio-na-list. IN-TE-RAC-TIO-NA-LIST!"

Good day all,
I must apologize for this most delayed posting. But please, don't you all point your fingers at me as of yet! Give me a chance to explain myself okay?

Okay. As some of you guys know, my Bahasa Melayu grade was... for lack of a better word, astounding. I actually received a grade 8 for it, which is an E. As it is the weakest passing grade, I am sure you can't blame the local government schools for not accepting me as a student right? Righhht.

What can I say? I didn't get into Maktab Duli (as was the plan) and I am not doing A levels (which also was part of the original plan). Instead of all that I was forced to take IB in ISB instead. IB being the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. So before you all can say "woah good for you! Its gonna be a piece of cake cos you wouldn't be having much homework/ assignments to do..." I would say (expletive removed), you are all wrong!

For you information, instead of the stroll in the park as most people from the local schools (me included I admit) would be otherwise thinking, I have found out that this IB course is really intensive. The number one reason being that the work resembles a rush by the chinese military: more keeps on coming! But of course this isn't helped much by the fact that I am one and a half term late and there being three terms each year. You do the maths.

I hate to say this, but I feel that the novelty of schooling in a new environment has long since past me by. Ask Jin Hua, he agrees with this statement strongly. But still I have to say that the school is enjoyable, its just the course that's a pain. Oh and did I say that I am in BGIC? Jin too.

Apart from all those hardship I mentioned (did I mention Chen? Never mind.) the people there are all nice in their own way. *wink* Everybody in Year 12 is unique, each representing something that only they themselves can uphold. Okay maybe not everybody but yeah. =) I wouldn't go into the specifics and bore the jeepers out of everybody.

To all the people in MD and PTE, cheers mates! At least you guys get to relax.
With this I conclude and pass the torch to Shim.

right... just a brief one. Going to class soon. My bio teacher taught us yesterday about mitosis, which she goes on bla bla bla. Then we came to the chromosomes..
blasted past the somatic chromosomes then came the sex chromosomes.. namely X and Y.

She then proceeded to say that the Y chromosome is a RETARDED copy of the X chromosome.

The Y chromosomes in my body were going "WTH!?!?!?!"
she just insulted the whole male population which is actually slighty more than the female population, although according to those genetic diagrams that the ratio of male to female is 1:1.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ... my college now contains sexist[cant think of a better word] teachers.

At long last we, the proud (in every meaning of the word) members of boredass can actually have a day to ourselves to call an anniversary for our blog. For you see, it has been already a year, or more precisely 365 days, since the first recorded moment of the members' official unification. ( I used 'recorded' because it actually took place on an earlier date )

To all those who doubted ( me included) that the four of us could last this long, well, I give you two words , " Tough" and " Luck". It's up to you to link them two up. Haha!

Anyways, I've been thinking into certain topic lately. What makes a patient person? The meaning of the word patient, as we have come to know it, is the ability to remain calm in the torrents of trouble or defined as having very little or a non-existent temper. People like these do not talk much, only doing so when necessary and usually giving out very well thought out and helpful points regarding a certain subject which ordinary people can't seem to think up off. But above all, they always stick to a particular expression, mostly either neutral or false fully cheerful.

As we all know, or rather observed, it is usually the older ones who exhibit this trait. Many have said that this is due to their vast wisdom, remaining immovable as they know emotions don't solve problems, exaggerated actions don't take you anywhere and most above all, acting like this would probably get them weird looks and comments such as ," Act your own age, senile fool!" Thus, being patient and calm will benefit them more than otherwise.

But what is it that makes them so patient? Old age may not be it as we have seen people our age behaving not too different from their grandparents. So what is it, if not old age and wisdom? ( I am assuming that wisdom comes from experience which in turn comes from age) Were they told by someone? Maybe their parents? Maybe from books? Probably assuming the role of fictional characters who look cool by behaving thus? Or just plain genes when it comes down to it? You make up your own opinions.

As for me, my opinion ( It's what blogs are for, writing your own opinions without fear of verbal criticism) is that well, they simply don't give a damn anymore. It answers everything. The older chaps have just been through too much to care anymore while the younger ones probably have their attention somewhere else. It's because of their lack of interest that they only bother to focus on the bare basics of things., which is usually where most problems take root from. Thus, they are able to conjure up solutions few others in their group can accomplish and in turn get praised as being patient or calm when in reality they have the least interest and did the least amount of effort whether it be thinking wise or physically. Ironic isn't it?

Finally, with that out of the way, I wish you all, patient or otherwise, a "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" and may you all be prosperous when receiving the red packets.

One very sick thing about this IB course I am joining is that I am gonna be finishing school by next June.... I feel like I am on a fast track. To where, I have no idea.

Oh! Not forgetting this too. There is gonna be a trip to KK in April later this year! We are gonna be climbing the mountain. Woot!

Well to those of you going to MD: Dammit!! You guys get to be PAID to study!!! T_T

I bet you can gather the fact that I would not be able to go into MD from my previous statement. Some of you may already know of it but let me tell you anyways. Its because I scored a precious E8 for Bahasa Melayu. Darnation!

So I have brought a 12k+ a year tuition fee on myself for my year 12 and 13 schooling. What an exchange. From free of charge plus a bit of allowance to 12k+ a year schooling.

Here's the results file for the whole of Brunei for the GCE O Levels OCT/NOV 2006. Enjoy.

Something has been getting my attention lately, something which I am fast becoming hateful towards. I don't know if it's just my upbringing or my attitude, but I'm really starting to despise the people who pretend to act dumb or are actually stupid in the first place. I've read books which say people or more specifically children, act this way to get attention of the others. This, I do not have a problem with. It's actually when teens or even adults sway to this kind of behavior that I become irritated.

Seriously, I know the saying ,"The happiest person is one who does not grow up or sticks to his childhood," ( or something like that) but that doesn't mean you've got to take in into heart. Sure, it might make you happy, but it irritates others. And that, my friends, will seriously affect your social life or atmosphere, which might actually in turn affect your status of happiness. Unless of course you're the loner kind, but that doesn't make any sense, since you wouldn't be acting childishly to get attention in the first place.

Now, I'm not saying that for you to be friendly you must become silent and quiet or even too mature. You can crack jokes ( but not lame ones, unless you're sure that it will garner laughter) and even act silly when the time comes to release tension or stress. The thing is, you should be yourself in front of other people (unless you're actually a dolt in the first place). Learn to relax ,which is most important. And most importantly, SMILE, in a relaxing way when you talk. Make others feel comfortable around you.

However, playing dumb does have its advantages. You can get other people to underestimate you when the time calls for it, you can get extra information by acting dumb and clueless, you can get sympathy which leads to more voluntary help from others and most important of all, you might actually be perceived as smarter than what you really are by others who are too smart for their own good and think that your way of playing dumb is an act all together for a grander strategy. ( Sorry, the last one wasn't a valid point)

Lastly, the inevitable has come and only fate ( or blind luck) shall determine our future and probably our moods as well for the next few weeks ( or months if you're unlucky). I can only pray for the best ( for myself, that is).

I struggled and pushed myself to wake up this morning although it's still 7.40 am. The cool temperature in the room keep seduce me to go back to dream, back into darkness but bearing in mind that my friend taught me that he saw snow early the day before I finally open my eyes big and looks out of my window. 'Oh my goodness!' is what I thought when the colours outside fell on my retina through the misty window. Apparently the colours that I saw are only black and white. In awe and shocked I questions myself if those are snow or frost, for London seldom snow. After contemplating for quite a while I decided to risk my life, open the window and reach out to grab some on the parapet. On my hand the white icy flakes sucked all warmth and sadness out of me. I even smelled and tasted it like animals. Still in doubt of the real identity of it, I'm coming downstairs. After that, I didn't even have the appetite to eat breakfast and went down to start practise the physics theory of projecting something and also experience the impact of something flying towards you just before my lesson starts....

The dread, the dread. The curiously curiosity-filled dread. The truth is, I am actually resigned about the whole situation as it is. As there is nothing I can do to stop the coming out of the results, I will just try to not think about it. But in writing about this here, I AM in fact thinking about it. Worrying more like. What can I say eh?

In order to not think about the fore mentioned problem, I have taken up Maple Story yet again! If anything, that is one game that exudes a very high level of thoughtlessness. And because of that, I am starting to get over the novelty of killing cute creatures by the thousands. Simply put, I am getting bored.

Oh and here is a very great substitute for DotA. Its very nice and I have encountered endless periods of sensory overloads while playing it. Get it here.

Cheers to Rao Dao Zao for creating this.

Ok bye all.
