DotA

I don't like people bragging about their DotA experience and skills... Where were they when I broke fountains over fountains?

Thursday

Week 14

It's the end of Semester... Only preparation for examinations left... and that matters the most to all. It was a semester shorter than I thought honestly, subjects are tougher than last semester and many subjects are at high chances of failing, which would be the last thing I want to see. I'm not happy, I'm not sad, I do not have much friends in Monash anyway, not like I'm gonna miss them too...

I tried to sleep but I could not, and I realised it was not my physical attributes that went fatigue, it was my heart that turned lethargic. I can face it, the hard way.

Maccas Drive-thru

McDonald's is not only a good place to study. Which is what I have been doing since last year...
Ronald teaches wholeheartedly... LOLYES! FREE BIG-MAC COUPONS!!!
Hiao
Hiao too
As many have noticed, the BigMac Chant promotion came to an end, when we so many coupons and its the last day, we all have to give it a shot :D

It was not as hard as imagined, trust me, as long as you are given to look at the paper, oh well, I missed out the word "seed" but he still gave the coupon to me! Very kind of the manager, nicest I have seen. And all we get is coupons and coupons, there was seven of them! Going to be sick of it, and I'm so sure.

Even when you are feeling down, you are still welcomed: ) but maybe not with food from KFC. Life is about contradictions.

Lee Ong'm lovin' it.
Thanks to Ronald!
Hey? Wait a minute...
It must've been him!

Not emotional

FYI: I'm just feeling down. Things that I want to do, I can't. Things that I can do, I do not want to either. Just feel like taking a short nap and go all the way to city to snap some pictures... I can't anyway, dates are forcing me...

For those who care so much about victims from Si Chuan or saving the earth. Following the common belief, I would say it is a retaliation of nature force trying to kill human beings before we kill them.

For those who believe in greater good, dominating the world for thousands of years, having extensive ways to preserve and prolong life, if you do not believe it as defiance of god''s will, I do think it is a good thing in a way that we have taken out lives without anyone being filed as criminal in US cabinet. Overcrowding of population is the same as parking problem, you charge them parking for 4 ringgit a day, it would not help.

For those who are like me, believing global warming and etc are just scams without plot behind, I think it is just natural. Nothing is promised in this world but death, a fine that all men pay. So here comes the chance to redeem:) Remember few years back China was troubled? They were not that protective towards environment anyway, I believe they tried to dig licorice roots and caused air quality issues themselves. Every single thing happening on earth are just too immense for human to make any change.

Sorry for the infrequent update... Prioritizing is important to life, I have to prepare for coming examinations:) Will still try my best to update! Cherio!

Monday

Never in life have there been one like you

It have been a long wait, filled with uncertainty and a bond that comes with no promises. Ironically, it was of the most beautiful moments. When it appears that it seemed nothing, yet it meant everything we ever cared about!

Here you are with me and, more than gift from god. I ask for nothing more than this. No matter where people are, it have never been an issue but rather a challenge and if it were to come, we are to face with courage.
The long long wait have given me nothing but a fairytale of our own. Thanks for everything ever given to me. You have taught me how to love. Pardon me of not being poetic.

I love you baby!

710

A Few days ago I was having some work done at my local garage. A blond... came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten.

We all looked at each other and another customer asked, 'What is a seven-hundred-ten?'

She replied, 'You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one..'

She replied that she did not know exactly what it was, but this piece had always been there.

Roman" > The mechanic gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like.

She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car which had its hood up and asked 'is there a 710 on this car?'

She pointed and said, 'Of course, its right there.'

Dear ALL,

READ FOR INCREASING YOUR STAY ON THIS PLANET

I am forwarding this message, as I find it to be very useful. You are requested to share this with others.



Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but also
about
Heart Attacks .

The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water. May be, it is time we adopt their
drinking habit while eating.

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer . It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack...

A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting . Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line ..
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.
A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.


Read this & Send to a friend. It could save a life. So, please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about.

The message attached is from an email... Thanks to JS Lau, I might have save the cheerleader, saved the world...

Screw you Lau, how absurd was the facts written? If you think 38C body temperature is not enough to warm up water until they reach your gastric, I don't think you even know human well!

99..99% "facts" are untrue...

Thursday

iPhone all around me

Yes, iPhone is "still" kind of new to Malaysia, yet I have seen tooooo many people holding their iPhone so fucken high worrying others might not see they are holding the new toy, oh well, like how often you use the innovative way of scrolling and zooming and etc. Whats so great about that bitten apple man??

PS: The auto rotating feature will so jerk you up when you have pictures taken horizontally!

Monash Library and people

I moved away , a group of people in front were talking in fake-accented-english, seemingly english. After that I sat in front of a group of typical local BOYS, who talks about DotA (which obviously isn't the thing they are good at), fight club and everything that makes them think they are cool. You people don't have to be so proud about playing DotA in KL, even if you are the best in KL, JB pwns shyt outta y'all bcz we GG 3rd Plazing OMGWTFBBQ. And please, stop going library if you cannot even read the notice asking you to keep quiet (: Ohh... How cliche...

Yeap! There is no secret that they think many things are cool
1. Clubbing! Oh yeah, you go club and you are in the coolest gang in the world, if you don't then you must be some fuckedupnerd! Of course that is what they think, they don't even hold liquor well.
2. Cantonese... It is just another dialect my dear. Out of all languages, Cantonese sounds the most irritating and it gives an impression that you are reluctant to speak of anything, you don't even sound like you are not temporizing or lying!!!
3. Driving without skills or manners but ego... I think they need to adjust their ego-level, if they cannot deflate it, they should burst it up. Please learn a little bit of driving my friend! World out here is too dangerous to drive around without some basic skills, GT4 is out! Go grab one and enjoy it...
4. Lastly, just doing whatever people around do is not going to help you weh...

Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Doom

Something is wrong with everyone? Doom's day will come when it wants to... We are created by nature and so will nature take us away when they feel so... Predictions are not trustworthy, only to an extent like where people talk about how their high school used to have executions taken place... More often than not told during camps...

Lethargic

Exams are near... Not next monday but just too near for my stage of preparation, I still have to make up for what I have left out throughout the 12 weeks of classes! Hopefully I will be as lucky as last semester but I hope to do better!
Abstractuality




PS: Just a few pictures from Pyramid 2 starbucks, surprisingly it was not occupied at all! Most people could not stand temptation and sat outside I guess, picturesque indeed!

Monday

Manglish

"Cannot do anything wad" Ya, cant do and what
"FXXX weh! Damn shitty LAH"
"Nice right? I saw it in blablabla mall, I wana buy lah"
"Serious?~~"(Mandatory local slang)
"Oh my GAWD" *Slaps on both cheeks*
"Fuiyoh, damn nice oredi la" Please select your language...
"Damn geng la that fella" Last warning...

I don't think I speak perfect English in any way. I might not speak the way Scottish does but I do plan to speak understandable English, for good of own people and for good of my own.

Just another day back

Another Sunway Pyramid trip... nothing special but just wanted to share some pictures. Still fiddling with it!

This is where we were after exiting from carpark! Immediately we drew out our cameras and tried to capture every single thing we see:P
Very cool picture of Samantha:P You don't have to thank me!

Bokeh isn't the only thing I do... Photography would really be boring if only that is achieved EVERYTIME
I liked this actually...
And yeah, bokeh again
What does a one-piece dress remind you off?
What you will do when you are stuck with books and a dSLR really does get people nearby scratch their head


Dunkin donuts are so dead but they are not closing down...

I saw a faint image of earth, what do you see?

At 6 bucks... I'm too broke for that at the moment, or any moment!
She does not look local to me... Don't really know why is she here. I think she was showing the "Why are you rich enough to purchase a camera yet reluctant to donate?"

Some might say I'm too stingy and stand on her said saying she was right. Well, I just saw a beggar holding a crutch but does not really rely on it. How am I going to trust them anymore? How much does the donation actually goes to needy?? Too many selfish people I have seen around here... Disheartening people...

Sweet colour I have here!

Midnight ramblings

Could not really understand why do people hold so tightly to beliefs. Truth and facts are what we can never avoid, you would lose sanity by avoiding that!

Why not accept whatsoever underneath your very nose and throw away fake faith? Carl Sagan (1997) has it, science is the candle in the dark in this demon-haunted world, not only eradicating poverty and increasing food supply but also discard untrue and biased thoughts...

I really believe, one day, people have to get smarter to understand how much have taken for countries to promote free thinking and it worthed every single effort! How hard it is to sit down and put aside religion, have a little brain-storm over a cup of tea, get to know this world better, hold on your religion yet keeping yourself in control. After all, you all know who are the ones who put no effort in things and hope everything turns out well by just praying. (Maybe they are telekinetic-able)

Like how I remembered in primary school, the teachers put all the glories of her students on her when they score well, on another hand cursing those who did not score well for the only reason they did not work hard. When you want to claim credit for something, you have to accept it as your responsibility, not a free lunch.

I only know, in this demon-haunted world, I would bravely hold onto the candle tightly, allowing it to illuminate what is ahead of me, identifying whatever lies in front of naked eyes, challenging and proving it. I would not just hold onto my pendant and hope everything turns out well and as happened in Bible... Sorry to say that but the recent tragedies have involved too many innocent human beings, they are just kids!!!

South Africa is infamous of their frequency of rape cases, for your information, just stare on your watch and every 20 seconds later there will be a rape case happening in South Africa. What disaster have happened to them? Nothing! God did not show up as he did in Bibles... did he? Sigh... Maybe accepting death is really the only way

Saturday

Reluctant to start off...


As library extended operating hours, it became the new asylum for Monash students, so we get away from Sun-U foyer cramped with all indons, it looked like refugee camp on my last visit.. Quite a thoughtful effort by Uni!
The question again, did I study? No... I spent most of my time blogging and using the internet, it really feels hard to start studying right after last assignment due date, life, was not this way. Plus I saw another friend doing his assignment after due, he said he would just let the marker deduct marks as he wish... Crazy mutha.

And yes, I did bring along my Canon, shutter was a bit too loud for library too. But I feel kinda fine... For that even I did not study much... They did not score either...

Mumble Grumbo

Monash University
Taking a break from Uni life? Actually it isn't, to me it is an omen of coming of tougher moments...

Here it ends, my head-scratching assignments that rarely give us an credit for effort, no matter how hard you try and how badly you want, they only give you a few marks extra. Thanks to ostensibly "research lecturers". According to them, research university does not give students clues to answering assignments, I only asked for the scope! How could you restrict word count, give 3 lines of description about assignment and just let us die??

[Oh, so true, especially regarding the "Environmental crisis warning from the research paper, flying overseas would be an "once-in-a-lifetime experience"? Lets say 10 years later, would you let me punch you in your face each time when I still get to fly to Melbourne from Singapore airport? Justify the claim by accepting the challenge:)]

PS: Again, Uni life is not a life.

La vie

Now I am in library... Right on the day my last assignment due date. I do not look like myself anymore, I did not hold my cue for 3 months at least, all it does is collecting dust under my bed. Only new thing i get to do is photography (if it is not an overstatement), it takes little time and i find satisfaction by capturing important moments in life, each pictures take 4mb? Soon I need an external hard-drive! And yes, all I do is blogging and other random nothing-better-to-do internet activities... Have not started studying...

Life is tiring at this point of life... Thanks to the one who shook me up when I thought I was the most unlucky person:)

Friendship is overrated at this point, "a friend in need is a friend indeed". I would say it does nothing but rhyming, does not really apply in word today. Some "friends" just want to squeeze every ounce of advantage from you! The earliest version I can find is from Caxton's Sonnes of Aymon, 1489:

"It is sayd, that at the nede the frende is knowen."

People deserve what they have worked so hard for ok?? Unless I get no other options, I would not seek for other people's fruit of labor...

PS: They can go wrong at times too btw!

Minor change!

476 Hits.

Finally showing up my really low unique visitors hit count (: Thanks to all who view my blog from time to time, even though my blog is kinda crappy. Gonna do more cosmetic changes to this blog, I know it is far from perfect...

As to pictures promised earlier, I could not really update on the older post, and I guess it is a better idea to do it here, in case you all have hopefully read the previous entries and might overlook.

Bon voyage


As what we expected to happen after purchasing the E200 Kompressor, finally it will be sold... tomorrow!

i was not expecting it to be sold so soon though... Just tomorrow, I cannot even say goodbye! It was not a great car anyway, as I revved it up the last time I got back as I knew it would be sold:P Not aggressive as I thought, even on floored pedals... Cars around me that time might think I wanted a race or something but I wasn't intending to:P

It served my family for three years and it is washed every 1 or 2 days! Hope it appreciates how much my mother cares about it! Happy mothers' day! Thanks for washing cars at home everyday mom:P

PS: How could I ever forget mentioning the small town mentality going around the town every now and then? Every time we send it for repair they will gleefully and hypocritically ask you if the car is gone for good. Just because they could not afford to have such car even if they work like dog till they die. Only thing they have is to defame people behind their back and that pretty much sums up why they are not having a better car, they spent too much time talking.

I hate soccer

Colloquially known as football or even "kah-giu"... I understand how uncommon it is to hear from a somebody with Y-Chromosome but I fell asleep the first time brother asked me to watch a game with him... There are many reasons:

1. It is 90 minutes long, it is not easy to find sports that last that long for sports.

2. The very rare goals just make me feel like dozing off. I like pool and snooker because every move gets the player closer to the objective but football it is just too hard to score and they could hit the poles and effort for the last 5 minutes will go into the drain.

3. They have the "off-side" rule, I know it makes the game fairer in some ways. Yet I think the game evolved to make whoever best as stealing the opportunity to go off-side uncaught will be the winner.

4. Referee is so important in soccer, most of the games I see, a referee could swing the game both ways. In most sports, referee could interfere very little as they are involved only when serious fouls are discovered.

5. Most of the time, the game is just fake. Just like WWE, teams are paid because they could profit so much from bettings... You have seen lousy teams winning in football, and only football.

As if I have nothing else to do, i liked the third, first picture was just messed up.

Interruption on water supply

I think Malaysia have given the wrong company to do the job. If not, why is Subang out of water? Why is our country managing this worse than countries in drought? I just saw them putting a sign, they are so called under construction in way of "kesulitan". Or is that another euphemism for sorry-we-have-not-supervised-the-piping-installation-and-so-problems-appeared-and-this-can-cover-our-asses.

I have not much against Malaysia, after all it is my own country but I could never understand why have such a nice country turned out so unpromising. I think even if we push the blame back to decision makers of the country, we should still think over who have the right to vote...

OI! I mumble MEH?

Wednesday

JB and KL people

I met a lot of JB and KL people and we all know they do not mean people from Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur... The definition of friends to them is absolutely the opposite of "Friend in need is a friend indeed". They come to you only when they have something to tell, which is coherent with ghosts in Japanese Horror showing up only for a purpose.

Yawn... Accounting is such a bitch

Accounting assignment is officially screwing me up and down. The more I look at it, the more I think I should discontinue Accounting and pursue Economics & Finance which is far more specialised than Accounting & Finance... It does not stop tempting me when I see how much people in Finance is earning... Maybe I should.

Sunday

Do you miss home? I don't...

I envy everybody being homesick every now and then. I get suited to new places easily, in the most fleeting moment but I think I'm starting to dislike everything in Malaysia. In fact, if I were allowed to be more specific, it is the people out there making me sick.

And coming back hometown definitely have more meaning than just having people to show me faces...

synonymously EOS 400D or Digital Rebel XTi

Just got it this afternoon via CityLinkExpress from vladmir. So there goes my burden, banking in over thousand into somebody's account is not as safe and most people are not willing to take the risk. The postage reached, safe and sound, nothing went wrong, everything was in there, minus the fact that the Black/Pink bagman was not to my liking. Well, I'm carrying it, I don't think that matters:P

Sample pictures are yet to be available, I will upload it after I try it at the seaside near my house. The new battery have to be charged for 8 hours before the very initial usage (:

I could not believe that I took myself more than a month to decide which model to get. I meant, it was HARD, having such a limited budget, being constantly poisoned, asking me to get a higher-end dSLR, having THREE one-sided-stories from fans from Canon, Nikon and Sony!



I'm really new in this, please bear with those pictures, they are not retouched.

PS: Somehow I felt this layout doesn't give enough space for horizontally taken pictures... I will figure out

Cherio!
