tech time

ok, i got myself a Cooler Master 550W Extreme Power Plus today. to get rid of those question marks on ur heads, its a power supply unit, a.k.a. PSU. ok, so as the name says, this psu pumps out 550 watts of power. if u're thinking:" y the hassle n money wasting to buy such a thing?", this is the answer most ppl dont wanna hear. a cheap, no-brand psu will NEVER give the amount of power tat is stated. if it says 500 watts, u can bet it gives 400 watts top. also, the efficiency is terribly lower, making those grey box of junk ridiculously hot and ends up damaging itself. n also bsc of tat, they giv u a max warranty of 3 months.

so here it is. the Cooler Master 550W Extreme Power Plus boast 550 watts true power, 2 6-pin PCI-E power connectors, 6 SATA power connectors, 2 4-pin cpu power connector, support for both 20-pin and 24-pin ATX mainboard power connectors, supports ATX 12V ver 2.3 and a very cool black colour. too bad they didnt put a blue LED in there...

 

 n believe me, that thing is HEAVY

the 6-pin PCI-E power connector. the 2-pin thing there is for use with the 6-pin in case the graphics card needs a 8-pin power connector(ASUS Mars)

the ATX mainboard power connector. the 4-pin thing is for use with the big 20-pin connector in mainboards tat use 24-pin power connector.

 the SATA power connectors(black) and the white molex PATA power connectors

the dual processor power connectors. feeds 12v to the processor... huge power there

ok, so i had to take out the old one n replace it with the new cooler master. so i tot i might wanna make a post outta this so tat everyone can benefit from this. ok, it started with tearing everything out of my cramped tower(a.k.a. casing). took out my P5Q SE PLUS, disconnected all the wires, took out the fans and  the old psu. i left the drives there since i dont have to do anything to them.

the emptied out case... the black squares n rectangles on top is the fans

the old psu

my graphics card. ASUS EAH4350 Silent. clock speed 600MHz(overclocked it to 760MHz), memory speed 400MHz(oc to 535MHz)

see the 2 chips down there? those are the RAMs... there's another pair below the card. this card has 512MB

the bottom part

my P5Q SE PLUS. onboard in a Cooler Master Hyper 212 cpu heatsink fan(tat big big metal thing), and a pair of Kingston DDR2 800 2GB RAMs. the orange thing with the ASUS logo is the northbridge heatsink, the gleaming orange thing is the southbridge heatsink. the northbridge heatsink is always bigger than the southbridge's bsc it handles more important stuff.

 i like the way asus writes things. n tat blue thing is the PCI-E 16x 2.0, the whites ones r 8x, the shortest is 4x

ok, done with the intros. ok, then i juz cleaned everything. u cant imagine how much dust accumulates in the thing... then in goes the psu.

 

it's in. no scratches. though the color didnt fit...

ok, everything in... n then i realised how cramped it became... the new psu got more cables than the old one, making it very messy and crowded with wires

ok, then plugged it in, powered it up, n wait for it to explode... which is wat im doing while typing this.

 

did i mention tat it glows really nice when the lights r off?

ok, so tats quite all for this time... lots of updates n scans to do. play AVA tmr

suddenly busy

not serious kinda busy. my mom, as u already know works in a insurance company. so they have a deadline to deliver a targeted amount of income or watever u wan to call it. actually, i forgot the term. ok, so the deadline is over on 15th dec, target met and surpassed. which means tat my mom n her colleges r ridiculously free for the rest of the year. n my mom being a show-off-my-family kinda mom brought the whole family out for EVERY single celebration events.

16th Dec 2009:
gone to "khun thai" in i dunno where cuz im sleeping the whole journey there. chinese orchestra anniversary knocked me out. ate till 9pm. right after tat, went to sunway carnival's city box for karaoke. i had to admit, it was fun. reached home at 1.30am. wasnt late by my standard, but too tiring.

17th Dec 2009:
lini's birthday. woke up at 12... mom brought us to queensbay's padini. she got 30% off discount card. shopped for a while, continued at gurney plaza's padini. sure, bought tons of clothes n shoes. n then ate at gurney drive. got back at 9 something. n then we started to do a little fashion show lalala... took 2gb worth of pictures...

18th Dec 2009:
went to alma for breakfast. then carefour for chrismas shopping. bought a chrismas tree and enough decoratives to open a shop. came home at 5, set up the chrismas tree and prepared for bbq. after dinner, my mom came out of my room with bunch of dvds... n asked where did i get those. im getting a feeling tat im gonna get screwed

believe me, insurance is a good job. lots of pay, flexible working time. and the bonus is good. my mom once got a all-expense-paid trip to korea. but it also means tat public relations must b top notch. probably includes some "wipe shoes" too.

more activities tmr... all of them she told us at the last minute and expects us to b ready and obey. sigh, better than none eh?

glad im able to help, happy happy  be-lated birthday...

lately

didnt really get anything to do. went to school today for the supposed simulation and club meeting. screw hell with tat, the teacher juz asked "ready adi ornot?" then left. some simulation huh? the meeting? hammered out a few stuff, at least hung phung looks more like a president now. i'll take tat back, barel

finished a book in 2 days, tats gonna b my record. gives a an impression of how bored i am. cant power up my rig bsc i havent got my PSU yet. u know wat? sometimes u've gotta b grateful if ur mom doesnt complicate things. n yea, u shouldnt tell ur mom everything, especially my mom.

tat day in pacific. i went to shop 4 it, didnt find wat i wanted so i went ton popular. she called n asked if we can leave, i said yes. n i told her i wasnt to try my luck at pcdepot. she said wait 4 her bsc she wanted to shop 4 clothes. it was 1.43, i checked. before tat my mom told me to remind her tat she want to make an appointment with a customer at 2.30. guess wat? i called her at 2.40, telling her bout the appointment, n i went to find her. there she is, still in the clothes shop. n then when we finally left tat shop, she said:" wait 4 me, i want to go see another shop". it was already 3.02. AFTER buying another dress, we finally left pacific. when i told her tat i wanna try my luck at pcdepot, she said:"too tired, wan go home". n i reminded her bout the appointment again, she said:"nvm liao la".

tats juz one of the numerous times she did something like tat. when my dad was still here, he would yell at her. n then he would say sry later. cant blame him, she's juz... TAT. n did i mention she was nvr punctual? if i told her i need to b at school at 6, she would ask me when does it start. n we would end up arriving 10 seconds before the activity starts. n then whenever she heads out in the morning, if the meeting is at 9.30, she would wake up at 9 and rush everything, finally screaming at me if any of her stuff wasnt packed even if she didnt told me to. says im not "aware of the situation".

im not complaining. n im not gonna tell her bout it, cuz im juz gonna get myself yelled at.

watever, no point yammering anyway. she'll b like tat 4 even if some wise guy tell her to change. off for maintainence.

i see spider webs here...

really, havent updated since the start of.... time?

so suen rong went to singapore 2day. pity her nobody else went to the airport. u wont believe wat excuse some of the elecs AJKs use. n her hair is just W.O.W. nevertheless, she's still the cheerful girl who kicks butt. hope she does well there. wonders when would she b back?

n then there's my horrible horrible PC problem. keeps blacking out n rebooting. always interrupts my game(my score/death is now a friggin 1.300). asus forum says its caused by a PSU tat provides too low power. mine currently is a no-brand 500w model, which in reality pumps out bout 380w only. have to swap it for a REAL 500w PSU. its gonna b costly...

n then there's the usual boredom. cant really do anything bout it. i dont have the focus to do something for an extended period of time anyway, so fresh things get old pretty quickly. need books...

my faithful soldering iron died yesterday. Ultimax 30w blue colored soldering iron had served well for more than 1 year has now left me. its heating elements r damaged somehow n is irreplaceable. a new Ultimax 30w/130w switchable soldering iron now replace its downed comrade. RIP Ultimax 30w blue colored soldering iron!!!

yep, im losing it...

it rained, fortunately

was pulling up weeds at my old house. hands blistering, sun baking my sweat dry... n it rained. it was kinda like my 1st time to b thankful tat it rained... glad it did.

watever, have to continue on those stubborn weeds tomorrow... n polish my mom's car's seats... they looks ridiculously old

n my bro is the worst mmorpg player ever...

these few days r great. flunking classes, no-point chit chat with frens, basketball etc... n there's graduation. havent done a real function for a long long time. it's good to feel big big speakers make ur bone vibrate again. the feel of the air pressure peaking at everybeat, ur heart pause, blood pressure rise and ur brain just says: "WOW!"

it was some good booming we did back then. too bad some of my disc malfunctioned. curse nero express...

anyway, lost the internet yesterday bsc some idiot telekom workers did something stupid. watever, now im back n kicking. did i mention i switched to playing AVA? Alliance of Valiant Arms, there's a link in the list of links. quite a nice game, so i quited SA, quited gunz(mayb i'll get back sometimes).

tats quite all for this time... remember to tune in next time!

Use Somebody -Kings of Leon

few days

ok, the trip is crap. no details needed. but i had to say, i missed that place. waking up to cool mountain breeze, the air is cool even in the evenings, the black noodle i dunno how to translate... havent been there since the previous chinese new year. n now its abandonned since my grandparents came to live with us when my dad is sick.

took lots of pictures, but those'll take a long time to upload. n there's the graduation thingy i had to settle before i can do anything else. guess responsibility is in my traits. came from my dad anyway.. tat i wont explain.

n then there's those really kind relatives. dunno how to call them in english, which is a shame. how do u call ur granparent's siblings? they're rally nice ppl, too kind and too... nice. they has always take care of our life, eve when my dad is sick, they did most of the shopping, finding the doctors, even paying for a portion of the fees! they did too much, so much that i knew tat i cannot repay in any way. we simply owe them too much.

sigh, n now im back. n trying to catch up to things in class n all those tat matters in life. 2 days in the middle of nowhere can do that to u. i wasnt in class for the most of last friday anyway.

well.. tats bout it. the trip kinda sucks n i cant find any way to express them in words cuz there'll be too much f word involved.

ttfn

hurts like hell

my teeth... actually my whole jaw. its been like this since yesterday, since tat nurse put some kinda rubber thing in between my teeth.... its gonna hurt more when the braces come next wednesday.

the rubber thingy made them loose, n hurts whenever they move. been trying to control my temper, hope i didnt piss anyone off.

3 F2 girls came n requested to become members of duty dept. yea lini, girls. they're the typical ones u find flirting around, not hoping for them to last more then a few weeks. if thy do, then i'll see when would they quit.

oh, n i wont b around on saturday n sunday. gone to some idiot, pea-brained relative's work to waste money... more details when i come back.

hv to pack, stream songs into my handphone, watch Starcraft 2 battle report, n perhaps play a bit of AVA. quitted SA bsc it sucks really bad, stupid game with lame graphics...

adios

life's good

yeah, life's been good. my mind clear and happy. i dont think it's bsc of the exam. no, not at all. it's the people around me, everyone's happy. ok, so not so when the results come out but most of the time, happy.

even in this house, everything's fine. well, until those relatives from KL come down here at saturday. mom's been making some bags out of threads, which she does whenever she got the time. only until recently that i noticed how beautiful they actually are.

and then there's the trip our class is planning. everyone's face literally lights up when we're discussing bout it. it was a moment only the eyes and heart can capture, not man made camera and fancy gadgets. they say taking pictures is preserving time, i say living through the moments is life in whole.

so much little un-noticable things happened these few days. they keep me happy, occupied. they make my brain focus and not wandering around bad thoughts.

im talking too much again...

friggin hell of a day

anyone of u ever tried missing the bus 2 times in a day? probably not. got stranded in the school with yinjou and his computer till we miss another bus again. not our fault, i asked the F1 dude the time they get to go home, the prefects let them loose earlier than they were supposed to be.

so exam's finished. i get a feeling that im gonna b droping class big time next year. nvm, no point mumbling curses over this.

n then i found out tat fajar bakti's book are crap, so is Ng Pei Leang's note. she copied from i dunno which teacher. both of them plus another reference book says that in voltaic cell, copper is the anode. i believed till yesterday when i turned to that particular page in the fajar bakti book.

".....because copper is lower than magnesium in the Electrochemistry Series. Thus it is the anode."

wait, dont yell yet. check out what i found under that section.

"Misconception Corner
 ..........................................
 ...........................................
 ............ copper is the cathode because it is where the discharge of copper occurs."

BLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so sorry lini, i got it wrong.

take a break, take kit-kat

yup, munching away rite now... save some for u guys if it lasts... lol

havent touched the computer since monday. lots of work to do on this thing.. all those maintainence, update, scans... the whole 9 yards. oh, n games too..

it's nice to get a break in between exam sometimes, but i dont like it. it makes me lazy, again.... rather lose a few more nights of sleep. yea, night before sejarah was long...

add maths..... im gonna fail that thing in the worst way in my 16 years of life.. hell i didnt even used the graph paper! which son of a bitch invented all those things anyway?

the others r fine, even chinese is fine. honestly, i didnt even read the 名句 but there i go, i knew them. i dont worry bout subjects, im worried about her. yea U, u know who im talkin bout. this aint u, where did u go? get back here!

mayb i should cool down myself...

pre-exam post

its exam guys... so... good luck, break a leg(not ur neck) and all the nicey nice wishes there ever was in this and other worlds...

nvm, nobody's gonna read this till after exam anyway... well, mayb except huiyi, assuming that her parents didnt keep the power cables...

nvm, just ignore this if u read this after exam...

relax a bit...

saturday, sunday and monday

those relatives from KL came again. as in AGAIN. with them here, life seems to b in a choke hold. chaotic and stupid.

a lot has happened in these 3 days n god it just wont stop. lets just say that elder relatives arent always friendly even in front of ppl u dont see everyday.

one disturbing thing. its always a tradition of the Wong's family tat when alot of relatives have meal together, u get two tables. One for the elders and another for kids as u may say. Me, my bro n my 3 cousins(2 younger boys and 1 elder girl) has always sat in the other table until year 2000 something n tats when 1 of them moved to the main table since she's old enough or something. n tat leaves 4 of us on the second table. but since my dad left, there's been an empty space.

on sunday when i was walking to the second table with my plate, my aunt told me: " come sit with us, there's a place." i knew what she meant even if she didn't say it out loud. it was in her face. n then everything came back... for the whole meal i just sat there silently. My dad used to b the one bringing up topics. I used to eavesdrop on them from the other table. now im sititng with them, the elders. it's like im taking my dad's place. i knew that im the one responsible now but this... i just dont know how to respond to it. i went blank.

n yesterday i went to see him. i almost broke down there. he was such a good father, n he will always be. he taught me everything i know, but it clearly wasnt enough. i wished he was still here to finish my education. how to be a human, a man.

we used to go fishing. n he was the one who taught me which line to use, how to spot fish 'flower', even how to drive a boat. fix a door, cabinet, lighting, plumbing, gardening, rear fishes, everything! he even planned to teach me how to drive.

all i wanted to say is, to everyone who parent's still here, appreciate them. don't wait until they're gone n then regret that u nvr spent time with them. to me, time just isnt enough

holidays.. AGAIN

its bad enough tat there's gonna b a week of holidays. then there goes holiday again on friday! supposed to rid myself of chinese ppr 2 and BM ppr 1 tat day... guess 1Malaysia stands for 1Melayu anyway...

holiday to me is nothing but lazy making and boring days. sure, u get to do stuff u wont hv time to do on normal days, but still, hate holidays.

zi yang(note the spelling pls), 'gave' electronics club a laptop earlier this year... which doesnt work. cant get it to work anyway. tried probably everything. took the whole thing off, reseated everything, changed CMOS battery... dunno wat the hell's wrong with this thing.

nvm.... i get used to frustrations...

exam came early

yup, its confirmed. n bsc of that, we cant finish(or teachers will feel that they wont need to finish) the syllabus. n tats quite bad since we would b on a tight schedule next year, so we probably wont have time to hv the victims(teachers) teaching F4 stuff.

in my class, sej, chem, physics, bio are still lagging behind. especially sej, which is one whole chapter behind. figures...

its been really quiet these days... too quite. peace cut short by this morning's glitch. stupid machinery...

nvm, as always

almost the end of the holiday

anyone with their head loaded with enough brains could tell tat its almost over. long enough a holiday, too long to me. long holidays makes me less responsive and lazy. but occasional ones are fine. I do believe tat two days off in a week is sufficient though.

my week? spent fooling around with my coilgun, started to play DOTA(not a v interesting game at all), finished RA3, n books. havent started on my homeworks though. tats tommorow n monday's work. yea, i kinda am the last minute person, academics only.

btw, found a book all Sejarah haters should read. The Last Patriot. All bout some islam morons killing Nabi Mohammad for the last relevation or something.

n then I need an editor. yes, im writing something n bsc of my stupid typos i probably have millions of them crawling around my draft. its not even half done though, currently till chapter 2. its a bit sci-fi. got my ideas from Lost Planet:Extreme Conditions, Appleseed series, and those books i've read throughout my life.

n.... tats bout it. off for surfing now

I Like To Move It -Madagascar OST

of DVD burning and blogging plus loads of misc stuff

burning some religion stuff for junlin. some words of wisdom or wad wad wad in DVD. wat kinda video goes on for 120 minute? in case u didnt know, DVDs have a max track time of 120 minutes, CDs 80 minutes and bluerays isnt stated. It just have a max memory of 50GB. DVD is 4.7GB while CD lags behind at 700MB.

bout the blog. added new readers since vi was asking y didnt i include guihua. so i added her plus some other.

and then there's the pretest. gambate to those F3s trying to mark their name on the 8A list.

n then recently i bumped into CoreTemp. it was really a nice tool if u're so damm worried bout your CPU overheating. i've got 3 tools at my disposal here. they're SpeedFan, PC Probe 2 and CoreTemp. ok, this is gonna b a software review, those who are already dizzy reading this can skip this part.

SpeedFan, my 1st tool. it was a nice tool. it not only lets you adjust ur CPU fan and chasis fan speed(if you have one plugged into the mainboard's socket), but it also lets you check the temperature of your CPU(each core), ambient, HDD and anything plugged into your mainboard that has a thermister on it(even graphics card). it also features a overclocking tool which in my opinion too dangerous-looking. windows based overclocking tools are not reliable anyway.

this is the main page where you get to check and control your fan speed, temperature and various voltages(the voltage reading are useful during overclocking). oh , n it also shows core usage

this is the overclocking page. not v useful, n not v much options. no good.

so tats SpeedFan. it works both on XP and Vista, 32-bit and 64-bit. you can download it here.

Next is PC Probe 2. it comes bundled with almost all Asus mainboards, and it ONLY works on Asus mainboard system. Its a v fun tool to use. it displays ALL voltages and 2 basic temperature. ambient and CPU. it also displays CPU fan speed.

see those 7 hexagonal blocks? they're the displays. and the big one is the control panel, dont worry, tat one can be minimised. you can move those displays to wherever you like, it also comes in rectangular mode, which i found uninteresting

PC Probe is available for downloads, but those who have Asus mainboard would have it in their bundled system cd. go check and install.

the last one is Core Temp. found it on Max It magazine. it does what the name suggest -measure core temp. sure, it also have a RAM gauge, but its the temp tat matters. i've already have a tool to measure tat anyway. ok, so the interesting thing bout Core Temp is tat it comes with a sidebar tool. which is great. no more bulky big big window tat blocks the way like SpeedFan. but there's a catch. the sidebar tool only works in Vista as only Vista and Windows 7 has the sidebar feature. XP users would still have to stick to the big window.

see the dark blue rectangle on the right? tats the sidebar tool for Core Temp. XP users would have to get used to the window on the left.

Core Temp is v simple and reliable. but you have to have the main application running if you want to use the sidebar feature. Core Temp is available for download here.

well, tat's all for the review.

gone for ice cream at auto city last night with kelly. ate till we're bloated and brain freeze because both the cold weather and the ice cream. thought tat was just a myth but now i knew its real. it hurts a lot, worse than a bad migrain.

anyway, where else do u get to see a girl who was so happy she could've jumped down a building just because she get 70 for geo? not only earth apparently. lol...

came back at 1am yesterday. beaten since i've had tuition before, n slept till 10.30 this morning. still drowsy and slept again after lunch. the rainy whether seems to have no other benefit than giving me a good condition for a nap. seriouly, i couldnt do anything since im especially clumsy during rainy days.

for now, background music plus homework seems to b the best way to distract myself from the rest of the world....

writing rumusan

half joy

today, everything is broken in half. perhaps even myself. been busy, too busy.

Wushu gathering. probably the highlight of my worse job ever done list. only if tat idiot ah wang let the wushu guys use the hall n kick the useless ceramah, thing wouldn't b half as bad.

its hot, its out of control, schedules nvr followed(what are schedules for then?), rong kept running away, those mindless F4 n F3s... n then the JSPOs and ex students couldnt pick a better time to bug us.

everything's a chaos. n then there are alot of things i have to do myself, things i cant just leave it to them. yet junlin too couldnt think of a better time to stay at home sleeping.

when i got back home i practically just trash myself on bed. n slept till half an hour ago. n then i've still got add math tuition tonight.

nevermind, thats life anyway...


Never Say Never -The Fray


There's some things we don't talk about
Rather do without
And just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of
Together all the while

You can never say never
Why we dont know when
Time and time again
Younger now than we were before

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Picture you're the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
Steady your hand

You can never say never
Why we dont know when
Time, time and time again
Younger now then we were before

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

We're pulling apart and coming together again and again
We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go


i know i've posted it recently, but hell this is my blog, i do watever the hell i want with it.

Wilber's song

Be With You -Wilber Pan feat. Akon


无重力 -潘瑋柏

floating like a hostless ghost

been empty lately. i meant like a total blank brain. there used to b a lot of noises in my head that both troubles me and reminded me that im alive. but recently, empty. not even the echo you get when u're in a large hollow cave.

but i pushed on.

significant events, or not so:
1. testing Kubuntu. its really nice, since its a open source OS. its kinda alien to we(the microsoft guys). since you get weird names like Konqueror(kubuntu's Internet Explorer), Kopete(their version of Windows Live Messenger), Amarok(Windows Media Player), Dolphin(Windows Explorer), Kmail(Outlook Express for Vista, Microsoft Outlook for XP), Open Office(Microsoft Office), n even SpeedCrunch for a mere calculator. trust me, it IS weird. this is the desktop:


weird huh? wait till you see the 'messenger'


and lots of other stuff...

2. caring week. not gonna elaborate much cause it suck. we spend the whole time trying to perfect what we do and what we get from the 'considering' school is "you guys dont make a sound till 9.30. Puan Yeoh will inform you when you are allowed to play music". Bamm! do you know what that means!? tat makes us total idiots tat day! freakin bitch! i was fuming at tat point tat i resisted yelling at wei chong who turned off the power without turning down the amplifier's gain, resulted in a boom that would've destroyed the speaker's coil. he was lucky i stormed into my room and found yinjou's dying laptop with Counter Strike on.

even before saturday, we've already have a score of quarels with the school and caring week AJK's. nobody seems to know tat we're not rag dolls anymore. what the fuck was tat!?

not gonna elaborate. or else those idiots are AGAIN gonna think im nothing but an ego jerk.

enough of whining i'll say. i'll just go blow up the terrorist's head after this...

not a good day...

its not a good day at all.

i knew i screwed up the oral test. i left most of the stuff i need at home. i quarelled with the caring week cmt. i almost lost control. i messed up the player. and the list goes on...

n im not gonna b the one talking anymore

最美麗的第七天主题曲 -Kevin


its a really nice song. but unfortunately the show's a bit cheesy...

If you wanna get shot, do it in a hospital.... -Dr. Gregory House (House M.D.)

bored

today's darn boring. mayb its bsc i've had too much fun yesterday...

preparing for the lisan in both languages...

btw, nice song...

双人舞 -潘伟伯

it was a good day

it was. to everyone. ok, maybe not to those who is desperate to run today but crushed by the rain... apart from tat, everything's well, fine.

had lots of fun today. from the hassle of setting up(havent done tat for a real long time now), to the karaeoke session which would b more fun if the teachers join in. it was a good day.

n bout the lucky draws... they(or should i say we?) cheated. we got like 50 or so tickets... dont ask how we got them. n we got 5 hits. 5! the task force who are doing the same got 6, no fair. but we laughed all the way.

cant really express myself right now. too much stuff happening, too many conflicts. but i'll live on... unfortunately for some

outta here

Mad -Ne-Yo

computer's back

yep, its back. cant stand my mom's laptop anymore...

same thing, H1N1. both jit sin primary is closed due to it. tat meant BM is now H1N1 infected area, wont b long till it hit our school.

and then there's messenger. i wonder y i cant sign in ANYWHERE. i tried on this computer AND my mom's acer(oh, btw. heard tat acer actually stands for Alat Cepat Rosak).

tech week. the guys at ICT got scolded by ah lee n wang hong keng. they got the similar fate on tuesday when their guru penasihat went rogue and stated yelling and throwing stuff. think there wont b tech week next year.... considering tat there're rumours tat ah lee's gonna b replacing ah wang.

i need to go online...

since exam

havent posted much... only once

got undeserved results. my fault, if i would just spend a wee bit more time checking... except for add math, didnt have enough time.

had fun and bad times at tech week. got to play for free. and junan apparently got into some bad arguements with the ict guys. its settled, but like huiyi said: "it can be fixed, but there'll still be cracks all over it." and missing all the classes before recess isnt my plan to spend my time.

read a few books. The Host and The Book Of Lost Things. both are good books, highly recommended for someone who wants to test their ability to understand.

and last but not least, trying to hold myself back

hmm... why does the school like dancing so much?

Happy Birthday Wong Chung Aun!

sry, no presents....

Exam

everyone knows its coming, but not everyone is doing everything they can to prepare. people, like me..

cant believe i read BIO for a whole week n not even half of it done. distracted by stuff i had to do or suffer some idiotic consequences bla bla bla...

P.s. dont talk to me until u figured everything out

point form

- BBQ in the mid of a rainny day is GREAT!
- mom's a bad cook when it comes to BBQ
- life's wasted as it should be wasted
- never go anywhere near wine, stick to yogurt drink
- mom's laptop is crap
- kick my bro away whenever im using the computer. even if im runnning maintainence
- mom cant take modern music
- somehow my speaker's volume aint balanced

life in point form is empty. without elaboration, makes things dull and uninteresting. tats my life anyway...

hope it rains at midnight

2. Got Need For Speed Most Wanted and Counter Strike Source installed. Too have o wait till after exam.

after dinner

did nothing today. nothing worth to mark today as memorable. hell, i did nothing today. skipped lunch, slept for the whole afternoon. waking up half an hour ago.

afternoon naps are good. as long as u dont have anything waiting for u. its 20:01, n i still hv piles of homework left undone. graphs for math, add maths undone to do other stuff, biology which i was supposed to finish reading on friday, chinese idioms, BM idioms..... the whole barrage of stuff

disorganised life... am i always like this?

standing in the mid of a crossroad. every path perpendicular to each other. like "The Road Not Taken", but with 2 extra choices and clueless bout which path had i came from.

a journey call life some may say. but the thing is, how do u know when life's coming to an end. do they have pit stops? is it straight? curved? twisted? spiralling? loop-to-loop? or just a tangled maze of oblivion?

even if u got to know how life's like, how do u solve crisis in life? is there a standard way? a rule to follow? formulas? equations? or do u have to do everything simultaneous!?

sometimes, i wonder if i need a driver or some sort to navigate through life, or just tat im incompatible with life around me.

so how's life?

i dont know...

1 hour till midnight

its dark out there. it is too in here. except for the white light coming out from my monitor, there's just the ever blinking LEDs on the modem.

the red 'peak' light on my amplifier keep on blinking too, but i just really need the loud music right now... hope my speakers can take the abuse...

its good to b in the dark. peaceful, eveyone else leaving u alone...

the electricity was gone when im in the mid of add math tuition. the whole block lost power. it happened at just the right time. blink, blink, and the lights were gone. followed by fake screaming and woo-ing. it was both a relieve n chaos. dont get me wrong, im desperate to improve my add math. but sometimes, life needs a break from all the rushing...

if life would b forgiving...

not all of us are made for the hectic life and cruel facts. things just wasnt supposed to happen, but yet it happened. so wat else could i do? clean up the mess and start over again. call it system restore, call it norton go back, its all not working.

its just another day of me blabbing... dont even bother remmebering. im not worth ur time

today sucks

nobody is doing anything right. gonna b the bad guy tommorow....

Tonight -Jonas Brothers

songs n lyrics

Ice Cream -DNR



You talk to me
You speak with me
Don't sink before you rise baby
Don't fade away

You hesitate
You seem to wait
For all the time we had
Feels like a world away

Who's to say, we'll be ok
We will make it through the night
Don't wanna wake up in this state
I just want us both to smile

Cause we're the same
And i know that we'll never change
Look i bought your favourite ice cream
I don't wanna see it melt away

If you walk out now
I don't know if we're gonna be the same
Baby just talk with me
Cause i want you to stay here with me

The memories
The things we did
I locked inside my heart
Where i know i won't forget

And now, who's to say, we'll be okay
We will make it through the night
Don't wanna wake up in this state
I just want us both to smile

Cause were the same
And I know that we'll never change
look I bought your favorite ice ream
I dont want to see it melts away

If you walk out now
I don't know if we could be the same
Baby just talk with me
Cause I want you to stay here with me

I want you to stay here with me

wrote this last night

she was unhappy. n straining herself to cover it up. i knew, not because i knew her best. its because she always leaves sign between her words. how the words joins, whether or not she uses short forms, punctuations. so i know how u feel, even though i cant see u. im not saying tat u're an open book, but tats just you.

since him. i thought she'll b happy again. away from loneliness, a safe harbour to go to no matter how life sucked. but since, she's on a never ending roller coaster ride. bends, curbs, dives, shot up high, twist and turns. it should never have been anything like this. not at all.

then why was it so?

i dont know wat to do. i dont know wat i can do. lines have been drawn, and im already at the edge of it. how much can i still do?

and to those who r a pain in the ass who like to blab bout us, shut up. u know who u are... just shut it already
