Debugging Buggers

We have to close down your port because the system says that your port is hosting worm.

*In chorus*

What???

What kinda explanation is that to give to 2 representatives of the 5, who were suffering from internet-deprived-syndrome for 2 days, as well as disconnection from the outside world, away from news, updates, informations, and the most important thing of all : FRIENDS!

My total loss of revenue can no longer be recovered until the problem is properly rectified by the administrator. So at the moment, bear with the very very slow updates and a missing member in your MSN contact list.

Life in Uniten took a huge turn : The long awaited DotA tournament has arrived! Although it was made in such a small scale, it is to get feedbacks from the local students who are too bored enough to stay inside the room with nothing else better to do except facing the monitor with their left hand fingers positioning at various shorcut keys, and with right hand clicking furiously on both mouse buttons, yelling some instructions across the room in hopes of letting their own teammate to hear them!

Full of emotion, full of commmitment, requires lots of teamwork and strategy...

Yes, this is DotA tournament, and it shall begin...

eh wait.. already began on Monday la~~~

Wish me luck!!!

Wicked Game

Wicked Game - HIM (cover song for Chris Isaak)

The world was on fire, no-one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you

*chorus*
No I don't wanna fall in love
this world is always gonna break your heart
No I don't wanna fall in love
this world is always gonna break your heart..
with you

What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing you do
To make me dream of you

*chorus*

The world was on fire, no-one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
No and I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I'll never dream that I lose somebody like you, no

Now I wanna fall in love
This world is always gonna break your heart
Now I wanna fall in lust
This world is always gonna break your heart..with you

And nobody loves no-one

*****
Listening to this song makes me ponder of my life, my love life.

Sadly, there's no one in particular, yet.

My past relationship still haunts me. The fear of rejection is something I can never forget.

Something that's not suppose to go wrong, went wrong.

Where things are beyond expectations, had exceed your imagination.

My trust is betrayed, loyalties severed.

For 3 years it has gone by, still the memory remains.

She's my first love, who could forget theirs as well? But it hurts.

To my fellow friends who have found their own halves, I'm glad that you guys have made it.

As for me, I will keep on searching for the missing key, that would unlock and set me free.

Maybe I have yet to find my true love, or maybe I'm just too picky.

Or is there true love left on this forsaken world??

And yet, true love never dies...... It just need to be revived again...

Hectic

A small spot dedicated to one of my best pals throughout my life..... FANG CHIN!

Happy belated 20th b'day to you man!! 12th July... Paiseh ada sedikit lewat liao!. Ya I know I'm still older than you but I can't help but make you feel older. Though that doesn't seem to work most of the time but what the heck, the bugging is worth the trouble! >.<

So much so for advertising on my blogspace here... kacau!

Back to my current state, with my oh-so-beautiful-campus life taking the centre stage. (as usual).

I've been assigned to do homeworks of 3 different subjects. Mind you. Homeworks!!! It's been almost 3 years since I last heard of this term, especially in University level! With Dynamics, Thermodynamics and Circuits on this semester's timetable, you can't help but think, would there be any work to do in the first place?? Having this in mind, you are in deep shit! Cos I did. And I AM IN DEEP SHIT NOW!! Rarely I have touch the textbook itself unless it's for reference purposes, and the same goes to the exercises provided inside the book itself. Yes I'm THAT lazy! My usual routine involves DotA, Diablo2 and Gunbound. (Yes, this time a gunbound server has been set up.. hooray to my already packed playing schedule) So, it's highly unusual for me to do the exercises as required by the lecturers and to hand them in during tutorial classes. Handing in the homework... It seems that I'm brought back to secondary school times once again!!

For once after so many years, I have no choice but to spend my time doing exercises from the textbook. Thus, I have no choice but to spend some $$$ on the textbooks, and they aren't cheap either!! 2nd-hand books are hard to find, and they differ in book editions. There's a small booth that sells 2nd-hand textbooks. Checked out for Circuits Textbook and it's 70 bucks with fair condition. Later I went to the bookstore only to find out that the new Circuits Textbook is actually 72 bucks only. $$$$ suckers those 2nd-hand book sellers. And they are getting alot of customers, which is the weird thing!! Blardy hell! They should be sent to the abyss for their dark deeds!!!

On a side note to everyone, never try taking KTM from 5pm to 7pm. If you dont' believe, you can always give it a shot. You'll get what I mean. :)

Homework's due next Tuesday, gotta start reducing the burden throughout the weekends...


Homework I hate thee!!!! @#$#%!@#$

2nd Year, 1st Sem 06/07


Finally!! I'm a sophomore! I have gone through thick and thin to get out of first year! Now I shall continue my perilous journey and obtain what I'm here for! A 60 grand worth of degree certificate!

Just to let you guys know, the above is my current semester's timetable. Pretty neat eh?

And what's with that X mark on Tuesday??

Just to let you guys know. The secret of abusing the Uniten's system in order to obtain the classes you want to enter.

Situation's like this: I want to enter the class same with my friend, but his section 5B is full. So I have to enter 5A, which still has vacancy, but it clashes with other subject. Section 5A and 5B is under the same lecturer, the only difference is that both have tutorial classes at different time. So, my plan is to join into 5A, have my tutorial class clash with other subject, and then appeal to the lecturer to allow me enter 5B's tutorial class.

So far so good everyone?

Through the geniuses Alwin and Tai Soon, we use the URL which registers a subject into the timetable, and change the subject code to the one I want. *When one clicks the URL, the subject will be added right away* So, the system would not notice that the subject I registered would clash with other subjects I have registered earlier. It's some kind of a bug, but a very friendly bug!

Friday don't have class again! Haha! I feel so free!!

Haven't seen much foudation students yet. New intake students are here to test themselves in survival of the fittest. Best man / woman will get the best tasty Malay food or Indian food. Heard from others that there are more chinese girls for this intake, so everyone's expecting some eye candies finally roam the Uniten foodcourt during breaks. :)

A whole new semester, a new beginning once again! Hope I don't screw this one up like last year's!!

Cameron Highlands

It has been 2 years since the last time I set foot on Cameron Highlands. There were plans where Fang Chin and Co. were heading further north towards Penang on the very same day. But the Cameron Highlands trip was booked way earlier. Though the food in Penang is always appealing to my stomach, but family comes first. Paiseh.

And of course, Malaysia had some notorious weather for the past few weeks.

Just to give u a picture how Malaysia's weather is now! Pic taken a year ago while on the way to Kuantan

Malaysia now is as though being the conventional microwave oven! One doesn't have to think about going all the way to a beach side clad in bikini or hawaiian pants and get yourself tanned there. Alternatively, you can just lie down at the frontyard topless and enjoy the sunlight breeze. Minus the sightseeing. For girls though, don't do anything indecent to find yourself uploaded in the youtube.com website. Heh.

As though God had a will to fumble with Malaysia's thermostat, upon reaching Cameron Highlands, the whole family were expecting cool, refreshing breeze, cloudy skies and a slight covering from the clouds floating around.

Did I asked too much from Him??

I certainly didn't think so! It was raining as we ascend the newly built highway. Oh raining is normal in Cameron Highlands but certainly not if it's raining for like 6 hours non-stop??! Already deprived of entertainment, the weather sure has enjoyed keeping us confided in our apartments! And it rained for two days!

The apartment where the chill still penetrates in. Wait a minute, is that a TV??

Yes! A TV!! Came all the way from Klang just to watch TV! Brilliant idea. Masterfully done! TV without Astro = no TV. Fortunately, this one HAS Astro. Once you get Astro = Live broadcast of the World Cup 2006. At least I'm not THAT bored for now!

Night time is a blessing for us. As the rain finally stopped and we got our arses out of the apartment and went for a stroll at the Brinchang pasar malam. Bought lots of vegetables and mushrooms for the night time's steamboat. YES! LOTS OF VEGETABLES! And of course, strawberries!

For the sake of camaraderie, and this one looks frightfully sour.

If eating at Cameron Highlands doesn't involve vegetables, I would honestly say that one is going into a big fasting mood. After all, vegetables are good for you aren't they??

Hint: There are certain people whom I know that doesn't appreciate vegetables as much as I do. :)

On the third day, the weather has switched once again. From the blistering cold to the usual Cameron Highlands sunshiny morning as we stroll around Kea Farm to get MORE VEGETABLES AND STRAWBERRIES to enjoy them back in Klang.

Blardy hell! Where did all these people come from?!

Traffic congestions are a norm especially here in Kea Farm. Further enquiries revealed that Singapore had holidays so there were many of them out there seeking bargains and had better skills than the Malaysians. Heh I wonder why. Nevertheless, we were there to relax so I rest my case here.

Yes, It is HOT there! Thus the ice-cream. And I'm obsessed with Orange!

After all the groceries and relaxing at the apartment, we checked out and head towards home! To face Klang's grueling heat this soon, I would rather stay on in Cameron Highlands. Financially and timing however, did not permit to do so. Some other time, perhaps eh? With friends the next time? Not a problem for me!

Gosh. It's 6 in the morning already. Guess I should just get a shut-eye and join my bro for bakuteh at 9.

Finally with pics, shin reporting in from home.
