Learnt quite a number of new things about C programming yesterday. I didn't know printf("%d\n",5||10); or printf("%d\n",5&&10); was actually runable. Hehehe now i know. Learnt the 3D array concepts also. I can visualize the array picture in my head at first...lucky Asrar explain until i faham. Finished my HCI research paper also (ahem no ctrl C ctrl V work ok...full of 100% home made crap)! Weeeee! Big weight lifted off my worried mind! I didn't really finish it actually, but the body of the research paper is all done. All i have to do now is to fit the other small little stuff and beautify the look of the research paper.

My dad told me what i'm gonna get for my birthday. And my mom gave me my present already. Yeah man, not even December yet, even tho December is tomorrow but still...no fun la. Disappointed but yet happy ;P But lucky my dad told me about it...cos he said 'Tell me what digicam model you want, getting for you for your birthday present. Tell koko cos he is getting it in Singapore' Muahahaha. There's this cam fair in Singapore now, so i guess the price will be cheaper, plus he's gonna get one for himself, so cheaper++. My mom got me a weird present. I dunno what i'm going to do with a green/yellow jade bangle. *scratches head* I know i know, wear it of cos, but...jade...er... kind of a weird pressie to give to your daughter also rite? ...i should get a cheongsam for the chinese new year, can match with it muahaha.

2/3 of the day is gone. Have not done any APIIT work i was suppose to do. Feeling very lazy. Anyone good at making up questions for interviews/surveys/questionnaire?

My aunty from Pangkor called today, guess what she said..."ah ma (my granny) is going to your place tomorrow. I'll be going down to Johor so i'll drop her on the way". Me no comment already man...i shifted all my stuff back into the room liua. Now have to shift all of it out again. Yorrr damn lazy already.

Question: I installed about 4 codec packs all together at at last got to my anime running. But the thing is that the player keeps hanging now. Codec problem or what?....geram can't watch now.

I think i lost my thumbdrive! ARGHHHHHH! How can this be man. I lost my cam, and now this. I have to really be LESS CARELESS.

I was at Penang since Sunday till now you see. I brought along my laptop and stuff there so that i can finish my work, and the thumbdrive for backup in case anything goes wrong. I only backed up once tho, in my uncle's car on the way to lunch today. I must have dropped i there, but my uncle says he didn't find anything in his car. I'm gonna go over to his place tomorrow to search for it. I hope its there mannnn..it has to be there!

My granny followed my other uncle back to Pangkor, so i have back my PC room. Hais, and I got used to the not so private place between the kitchen and the dinning room already. A bit lazy to shift everything back, but i shifted anyways.

The Penang trip was good. The fooddddd!!
Sunday
Breakfast: Ate at 'Mah Lui' (twin sisters) curry noodle house. The curry laksa was ok la. But the rest of my family says that's the best curry they ever tasted. (They tasted the OUG one before, they hated it actually, too much coconut milk) What i liked about the place is the 'lui' (extra side dishes) there. Nice man. You know Ipoh damn 'heng' (fancy) those noodles, then can 'kar lui' one. Something like 'yong tofu'.

Lunch: Seafood! at i don't know where. Somewhere between home and Penang hehehe. Tried this 'kam ku' fish. Very smooth flesh, but me no like. The shellfish was good tho. I tried the lala soup, then another shellfish fried with garlic and halfshelled see ham fried with chili. The see ham was nice. Didn't have to de-shell it somemore cos the before cook fried it one of side of the shell was removed, hence the name halfshelled see ham.

Dinner: Went to Macalister Road, ate at one of the pack coffeeshops. Kena 'tiok' like hell. One really small plate of 'char queh tiow' RM4 man. Tasted curry noodles, 'loh mee' and this other noodles...dunno what its called. Then there was this apom stall there also. The apom was chun man! The smell also like yummmm. That same stall sold really nice taiwan banana pancakes and malay rolls too!

Monday
Breakfast: Ate at this corner coffee shop at Pulau Tikus. I remembered when i was young, i ate 'char queh tiow' there before. It was the best 'char queh tiow' ever. But when i tried it again, like not syok liua. My dad and uncle said the taste also not that good compared to last time. Tried the curry noodles there too. DAMN NICE! They put pigs' blood in also. Damn yummy mannn. Better than the one in Ipoh. Then got this mamak stall also. The mee goreng is the best man! Can beat any mee goreng in PJ flat! Very spicy tho...ate a bit then cannot tahan already.

Lunch: Skip lunch. Everyone too full already. Eating double for the past 4 meals.

Dinner: Attended my distance cous wedding in mainland Penang, Juru. The dinner was pure TeoChew style, and the best TeoChew dinner i've ever eaten! They had pork rib rendang and pow, steam fish TeoChew style (the one with asamboi, ham choy, tomato, they even put chi yau! really TeoChew style), herbal baked chicken, and a few other...they also had chi tong! (pork soup, with those intestine muahhaha and my fav pigs' skin!) Eat until cannot move liau.

Today
Breakfast: Went back to the same coffeeshop in Pulau Tikus cos the food was superb. Tried stuff from other stalls. The 'chai queh' was GOOD!! Ate a bit of curry noodles again, tried the 'wan tan mee' (ok ok only) and ate a bit of fish head noodles (Penang style, me no like it). Didn't get to eat mee goreng cos the mamak stall was closed for Raya. Then...just opposite the coffeeshop, there's was this small little apom stall. I didn't notice it yesterday cos it wasn't open. Anyways the apom is GOOD i tell ya! 100% better than any i've tasted including the one at Macalister Road! Its not plain apom, its actually called apom telur manis. They add extra eggs with the flour and make the apom. This everyone have got to try! I ate almost 10 pieces by myself...and i already had breakfast!

Lunch: Not really lunch actually, ate at 2.30 at Pantai. (Some where near Lumut, not in Penang) Deep fried smooth tofu! yum yum. Small prawns deep fried with flour! yum yum++!

Dinner: ...i can't eat anymore. Plus i'm back home already. No more good food to enjoy.

Hais...i wanted to finish up my FYP gantt chart by today so i can show my supervisor tomorrow. Mana tau my MS Project installer kong already. Ok nvm. I draft it out on paper. Spend damn long time on it man. Phewww i hate planning projects. I logged on to webspace and wanted to book a slot for tomorrow. Arghh mana tau my supervisor change his slots timing! No slots available until 4.30pm over at KL! When i checked on Wednesday he still had afternoon slots over at TPM. Bad luck man. Tak pers lerrr...save my energy now...can go sleep...don't have to worry.

Half of the 0133 gang and some 0271 people sat for SE exam today. Muahahaha. Saw this kunci kereta and Nick at the library focusing...kononnya la hehehe. Anyways, i think all of them did ok. Those taking DBS on Saturday...good luck yah!

Here's a tip on How To Kill Mosquitoes and earn $$ for it. (hehehe here u go amy, hope it works for your room)
1. close all windows, openings of any sort
2. use a really killer power mossietoees spray
3. take a deep breath and hold it (fail doing so you might end up killing yourself!)
4. spray upwards, from the ground (or higher, depending on you)
5. target those spots where you think your pet mossietoeees are hiding
6. spray those dark place too (behind doors, behind cupboards bed table, under the bed table)
7. exit the room ASAP and close the door behind you. (you can now breath again hehehe)
8. get a piece of clean paper and wait for 5 mins
9. open the room door and get those dead/fainted on the floor/table/chair/bed/etc
10. make sure they are dead (by squashing them muahahhah, use the paper or your fingers)
11. collect the remaining of the dead mossies and glue them to the paper
12. then sell the paper to someone at pasar seni, say that its your abstract art. =) nyek nyek

Me damn bo liat now. SLEEPPPPPpppppp. Morning class tomorrow....arghhh. Got meeting after that...NOoooo.

My mom took a can of H20(the mosquito spray) to my ex-pc room where my grandma bed was at. Sprayed, and closed the door when she was done. I went in about 3 minutes later to discover something scary. What i'm typing here is all true. No exaggeration. No lies.

On the table (and i tell u..my table is long, about 1 X 3 metre) there were dead/fainted mosquitoes all over!!! A lot lot of them! Then on the bed there was more! On the floor were more! Scary mannn. I took a paper and started collecting them up. My mom and sis came in to help too. Some were still flying, but kind like like flying half dead, so easy to put them between the palm and *squish* them. On the table alone there were like 30++ of them already. I know, sound unbelievable, but it's true.

I ate cake for breakfast, canteen food for lunch, then a free sweet after that. I felt ok until i was in Sean's car. I was a little feverish, my head was an extra 10kgs heavier. When i got home, i took my bath and planned to sleep. But guess what happened, i vomited when i got home. Then a series of 'lau sai'ing (diarrhea) sessions man. Urghh...my stomach is still feeling funny.

Merlin Part 1 was on Hallmark just now. Repeating again at 10am tomorrow! Yeahhh...but i've got to go to college at 11...arghh. Nevermind la...watched it a few thousand times already...still loving the movie. Sean said he can't find the DVD around. I wonder if there's a DVD for Merlin.

Tested the WiFi connection in APIIT today. Strong signal, but aiyor..damn slow actually. Had a little trouble with the setup. My PCMCIA card driver gave me a bit of problem. But kenny (this really nice lab assistant) fixed it for me. Thank yous!

I was insulted big time today. $#@! I was called 'sai lou chai' (small little child). Bugger! I went out for dinner with my uncle and grandma today. The when it was time to serve the rice, the waiter (he looks my age, maybe a year or 2 older) came up (he was at my right) and asked how many bowls of rice we would like. Since a few of us were still quite full from tea, some of us didn't want rice. Then the waiter said "erm, kom sai lou chai leh?" ("erm, how about the kids?") while pointing at me. Damn no comment mannnnn. I looked up at him, then he said "oh sorry sorry". %$#@ My YOUNGER sister then laughed at me. Damn man, being 19 (turning 20 soon) and being referred as a KID is like being called a mosquito when i'm a vampire.

...ok you can stop laughing already.

I don't want to announce anything here yet, scared i ter'give out wrong info.

My line actually got fixed this morning. But what the telekom people didn't know that i have 2 lines in the house. HAHAHA. Something funny (hehehe dunno y but i find it amusing) happened. When i call my room line, my main line will ring! And when i call me main line, nothing rings. Hehehe damn cute la. But its all fixed now. The telekom guy just called to confirm the number. I think they do have a 24/7 support. Have to give them credit for it.

Anyways, my higher diploma results will be out tomorrow after 2pm. But i already know what i got. Overall...Credit only laaa. I was having a meeting with my supervisor today. The staff printing the certs was sitting at the table to our left. Jin said she saw David's results, then while i was talking to my supervisor, she saw hers, then mine was after hers. Getting my per subject grades tomorrow. I got the feeling that i've only got a Pass for a few subjects. *sked sked*

I'm having MUG meeting tomorrow too. APIIT is hosting an Intercollege Cyber Games soon. MUAHAHAHA. Counter Strike, Warcraft3 and Quake fans look out for it yah! Ladies, don't miss it out also la kay. There should be a 'only ladies' match for Quake. But don't ask me for details yet. All yet to be confirm. But i'll keep you all updated. ...hehe those kiasu gamers can start practicing already la. I should go play Quake too! Then again...i dont know if the committee are allowed to participate.

...I can't enjoy food properly. I got a cut on my tongue. Pain! =(

He: 780*****
.
.

Hahaha damn shy la. And i tot he was Kun some more. *ahem...kun dun kembang*. Anyways, i called Telekom. They said they are doing a major upgrade until Nov 13.

Here's (scroll down a little) some Matrix theories to ponder upon, originated from djiaoMei.

It's sitting on last year's Nokia FirstShot's poster. On its left is the dining table. On its right is the door to the kitchen. In front is this female geek banging on its keyboard, behind her, a food trolley and the window. Behind it is a white tiled wall, slightly above are some green tiles decorated with different types of fruit vegetables. Above it, the white ceilings, the lights, no fan.
It, is my PC.

Yep, i officially lost my PC room today. =( Mom insist that i move my PC to this current location. ARGH. People walking behind me, in and out of the kitchen, to and from the food trolley. I feel that my privacy have been violated. The more reason for me to stay a vampire and work at night, away from preying eyes.

I watched Matrix Revolution yesterday with the gang yesterday. TGV sucks la. The whole show stopped for 3 times in a row halfway thru. Damn stooooopid. Everyone BOOOOed. I think it's my 4th time something like this happened to me. I remember my last show (Pirates of the Caribbean) at TGV@Pyramid was like that too. Got stuck in the traffic for an hour before reaching Pyramid. We went to pick Hiew Yuen at USJ2 (hear Summit) and the jam there was like crazy! There was no time for dinner already after that so I called Jin who was already at TGV to help 'ta pau' McD's for us. WEEEE! We were all on time for the show...the best part...eating my Chicken McNuggets while Matrix was playing. Anywaysss...spoilers below. [Highlight to read]

The show was full of fighting scenes, battleships and the human driven robots vs the robotic squids (Sentinels), Neo vs Agent Smith. All not bad. The ending fighting scene was superb. The CG was so so so much better compared to Matrix Reloaded. There's this part in slow motion where Neo punch Agent Smith, fantastic man! The face movement, the texture of the skin, the water movement, super chun. Then there were this few gaya parts during that fight. Both of them were in the sky, then Agent Smith was in the middle of the screen then the back ground was the day rainy sky with a few stroke of lightning. Click.

Zion vs Sentinels part was good too. The semangat of one of the fighters (i think captain something..isit? forgot already) is damn good. Very berUmph, if u know what u mean. But he died at the end. His face was slashed badly by the Sentinels. The makeup for that part was good.

Oh yeah..there were a few funny parts too. Naiobe was piloting this other guys ship, and she did a 360 on that ship. Then the other guy said "I DIDNT know my ship could do that!" hahahah funny la.

Happy Birthday Zhong!!!

I really pity me and my classmates for having Mr Yew for our OT lecturer. He taught us RUP and the iteration process. Hais...confuse me like shit. He knows what he means, but the way he put his understandings to words really...aiyor no comment. I think i'll stick to my previous understanding on RUP and refer to books if i need help. I think he'll confuse me if i ask him. Plus i heard a lot of -ve stuff about Mr Yew. Aie...kutuk him enuff for today. Save the kutuking for some other time MUAHAHHA.

I dont know if you people remember, but i blog once about this weird guy who was (i think) afraid to sit beside me during the research briefing. I ate lunch with him and a few other friends today. Hehehe. He was actually quite friendly. Hehehe. I also found out that his FYP title was an expert system using NLP. Interesting. Something like my ChatterBot idea. But the NLP...i wish him Gambatteh!

Oh yeah..i might be losing my pc room =( Sad sad sad. My grandma will be coming down to KL for sometime. Staying at my place. Dad and mom said "Time to shift your stuff out". I don't really mind shifting my stuff out, but shift to where? My phone line is in that room somemore. If i shift out i have to rewire the line. And trust me, the architecture of my house makes it real hard to rewire. I feel like dragging another line up to my room (nyek nyek then i get to have my real room line) and shift my pc up there too. But my room ARGH no place oso. Stupid bed.

Wednesday, November 05, 2003

I still ..... lost the cam. Still feeling the pinch. I don't think i'll be over it so soon. But i'll be ok. Thank yous all, you all know who you are, cos i dont even know some of you. I really appreciate all the messages. I really felt better after reading all your messages. Thank you again.

My PPF finally got approved. Phew. My supervisor left this "Good research work required". ...hais..like i don't already know. I have to set up interviews with lawyers and doctors ASAP. Anyone knows any lawyer/doctor who is willing to give me a free 30 minutes session? I'm looking for those foc social services lawyer to interview. But i dont know where to get the contact numbers from. Then my survey and questionairs is gonan give me one really huge problem. I dont think i can just hand out abortion related questionairs just like that. People will definitely get offended. Plus i have to talk to a few someone who did abortions before. That will be like impossible mannnn. You know la...Malaysians and stuff, sensitive issue, plus i don't think its morally right to for me to ask someone about it. Its just not right. ....so how?

Sunday, November 02, 2003

I bought me beloved Canon S50 on 11th October 2003. I lost it when i was up in Genting. =( *cry cry cry* *i cried the rain today* *crying a river* *flooding my heart with tears* Rm2k++ all down the drain. What is left is my carry case, my batt charger and a 32MB flash card. I HATE MYSELF FOR LOSING THE CAM! .....i lost it...FARK! in less than 3 months! it's practically brand new!

The last time i remembered using it was in the Lady Salsa concert, i kept the cam in my pouch after one of the officials told me i actually couldn't take pictures. I don't know if i actually kept it in my pouch or not. I could have left it on my lap. Then during the concert there was this part where everyone was on their feet and dancing, so was I. I left my jacket and pouch on the chair. If my cam fell off my lap i should have know. Unless it was already stolen before that. (I could have been too into the show, dont know it the cam fell of my lap or not) Or the people at the back stole it from my pouch. But that don't make any sence cos me and my moms purse and handphone was still in it too. (Took my cam but not the money?) Plus my mom kept an eye on my pouch. But there was a few times during the show i wanted to take the cam out to snap pictures, why did i? If only i did, i could have know if my cam was still with me. (I think i kept the cam in my pouch, if not i wont think it was in my pouch rite? ARGH i don't know!) Then on the way to eat after the dinner there was a time i left my pouch open, cos my mom's phone rang, i took it out and didn't close my pouch cos i tot my mom's call was a brief one. Someone could have taken it out. But then again i think not.

#$@!% i just so pissed at myself. How could i be so careless. *PULLS HAIR*Lady Salsa is one hell of a concert that i'll remember.

The concert was ok tho. Good dancers, good music, I had damn good seats too. I actually recorded the opening. (My cam..my cam..its all in there!!!) I spent the whole heart ache sessions after that in the archade. Arghhh ta kei and played para para until i felt better. Didn't work.
