Donation
As I was about to fall asleep, this English-spoken Malay teen approached me with gleams of hope in his eyes. Forgive me for not remembering his long-winded pre-planned speech, but what I do know is that his speech was all about a "fund-raising" charity body to help spastic children.
As I was listening to his speech, he mentioned clearly that this body is not the same as any other bodies. How is it not the same? He stated that this body is not a donation drive body. Ok, I accepted that and agreed to continue listening to his speech.
As the one-sided conversation took place, I heard this guy saying something about "donating RM10 could help a child for a week". That was when I started to get a little annoyed (not that I didn't expect that, but at least he could have mentioned it earlier).
I interupted his speech and said, "Wait wait wait, hold it there. You said this isn't a donation drive"
"Yeah yeah, this isn't. We are just here to give an awareness about these poor children and we were hoping that you could help them", he said.
"Helping them by donating RM10?"
"Yeah, you can put it that way, sir"
"So...your point is, by donating RM10 to a non-donation drive body could help a child for a week?"
What followed this sentence...I had no idea cause he was speaking too fast, probably to cover up his real intention. Whatever it was, I boldly just said that he was speaking to the wrong guy. Guess what, this guy never gave up! He continued to pester me...and I just waited patiently for him to end his speech.
Once he came to a break (expecting me to hand out my flashy red note)...
"Didn't I say that you were talking to the wrong guy?"
"But why, sir? By helping these poor children, you can etc etc etc..."
"Nope, you've just wasted your breath over me"
"Ok, sir. Thank you for your time, sir. Have a nice day!" And off he went.
Let me get this straight. He shouldn't have mentioned that the body was NOT a donation drive body. I could have stopped him there n then. And what was that crap about donating to a non-donation drive body? WTF?
Worst of all, do NOT ever ask a donor on why he doesn't want to donate. It is impolite to do so and this is known as conversational ethics.
Know your role before disturbing my slumber.

Back to Blogging
This major change is due to my inactivity and procrastination in making new posts about how life is around me. I apologise if I'd caused you any inconvenience (once the videos are up). The first video should be up shortly...

Movie Review: Stay Alive
Storyline:
"After the brutal death of a friend, a group of friends find themselves in possession of a video-game called "Stay Alive," a blood-curdling true story of a 17th century noblewoman known as the Blood Countess. After playing the game when they know they shouldn't, however, the friends realize that once they die in the game--they die for real. As their numbers begin dropping and as they begin dying in the ways they died in the game, the remaining friends realize they must defeat the Blood Countess or accept their fates."
-source: here
Scare factor:
Basically throughout the show, there are very very few real good scares. Mostly are just plain cheap scares...stuff like some shadow walking behind, or the sudden image of "the bloody eye" (what's with that anyway?! i dun get it...whose eye is that?! why is it flashing?!). The ghosts are clearly animated (bcoz they're in-game, that takes away half of the scare factor, but it's a good try). I can easily find these in Fatal Frame too.
Characters:
Oh hell...horror movies never made it through without considering the characters' AI. It's always the same...they all try to be the hero and always go by the saying, "you wait here, i'll go check it out". For all humanity's sake, why don't you freaking carry a crowbar or something?! Havent you heard of Gordon Freeman of Half Life?! Havent you heard of the nameless marine in Doom 3?! He even went to hell, survived, and came back for MORE! What the hell you sissies think you are, empty handedly "checking things out". Bullsh*t man...
Movie Inspiration:
It's very clear that this movie adopted its gameplay from the famous Fatal Frame/Clock Tower series. Also, not forgetting the DIRECT COPY of the Japanese horror movie, Ju-On. The bluish boy and his mother can be seen a lot of times in this show...in animated form. Lots and lots of the boy's and his mother's clones...hmm...sweet! It kinda entertained me when Fatal Frame turned out to be like the run n' gun shooter, "Black", for the PS2/Xbox. A hybrid perhaps...?
*SPOILER ALERT* The ending? *SPOILER ALERT*
I was expecting one fellow (Frankie Muniz) to complete the game in order to beat the Blood Countess, but no...the rest of the survivors had to search for this...haunted house to eliminate her, face-to-face. What a bore...at least animation gives me more satisfaction. I mean, it's always better that way for a change, don't you think so?
*END OF SPOILER*
Overall, I kinda watched this movie to convince myself to stop gaming, but this show failed to do so. In fact, it just feels like a parody of Ju-On and Fatal Frame and Black. Oh gosh...must play more games...

Nostalgic Feeling
It kinda reminded me of how I behaved and performed in my daily routine back then. Yes yes...I admit I was childish, but only to get people's attention since...I'm the only child mah!
And look at me now...all cool and macho and self-concerned guy. No more Mr. Nice Guy cause he's ghey!
I kinda have a feeling of regret, particularly because of:
a) mixing with the wrong herd of friends (sorry, I know 'herd' are for cows but what's the difference?)
b) getting involved in a relationship
c) getting unskilled, untrained, unprofessional, immature, impatient b1tC#3$ to teach us the most crucial subjects resulting in me getting low grades for SPM. Seriously...damn you...
One word of advice, do NOT get yourself involved in a relationship! No matter what happens, whether she confesses (if you're a guy), or whether if she strips for you, or even if she rapes you...STAY OUT OF IT! It's like a drug, everything will be ruined! You will soon find that you will have lesser times with your friends, lesser chances to eye on girls, and your studies will go down the drain...hah!
One more thing...when I look into the school mag...I realised that most of those girls who were said to be pretty or cute or stuff like that...are nothing but CH3Ap 53ll0U+5 (if you can read leet, good for you). I had crushes on them too, but come to think of it...its back to the previous rule...STAY OUT OF IT! It's only an illusion for desperados!
One last thing to say before I end my post...and this is addressed to all future Senior Page makers:
Dont start to design your page at the very last minute. You must consider the time needed to edit the pages AS WELL AS having your classmates/teacher to approve it. By then only will it be brought forward to the school magazine society to get approval from the Principal to be published. Sigh, such high level of bureaucracy...boring...

Who's Bad? What's Bad? How Bad?
And so, this little boy went home feeling very excited about wat the Big Guy said. He thought of going to the cybercafe, but that would make him look like a gaming addict. He then moved on to smoking, but then again it would make him look like a samseng. He tried several different approaches to different 'activities' but the Big Guy's words keep on playing in his mind.
And then this particular thought strucked him in his brain. The thought of keeping a single finger nail long for as long as possible.
Small boy: Hmm, keeping a finger nail long is not a crime. It's also not demoralising. In fact, no one will even know it! It'll be a great help when my food gets stuck in my mouth. Nose itch? No problem too!
The small boy kept his nail long for almost 2 months now. That was when he suddenly felt that it was dangerous to keep long nails. Why? This boy was using a sponge to scrub the dishes in the kitchen after dinner just now when his nail got caught in the sponge. The nail got slightly bent (thankfully not broken). Right at that moment, random thoughts of nails breaking began to flow constantly into mind. Without delaying, the small boy immediately cut off his long nail.
Moral: Long nails are bad...mmkay?!
There is apparently no "Big Guy" in reality, so snap out of it! No children were harmed in this greatly crafted story. Peace!
Henshin!

Contradiction
"Well, I may be a bit exaggerating but these days I roughly sleep around those times. I challenge all WC vampires to beat my record during this time! Muahaha!"
WC vampires...holy cow!!! Where the hell that came from?! LOL

Another Random Post With Random Thoughts
Everything also football! Eat ball, drink ball, sleep ball, play ball...heck, some of you might even draft out rules for your wives to follow so that they would not ruin your lovely football match! Shame on you!
Anyway...anime...a word commonly used to describe an animated manga art. I'm sure most of you "buy" animes to watch right...right??? Come on, seriously...duh...*ahem*...okay okay...but there's this sudden disturbance that goes around. It's like an aura...circling the atmosphere or some sort...
How do anime titles get spread around, some of you might ask. There are a few ways though...
1) Recommendations from friends
2) Attractive, eye-catching titles
3) High ratings from numerous anime websites
4) Compelling storyline
It's quite a strange sight to see an individual watching animes for the sake of the actions instead of its storyline. What do I mean? For example...
Kamen Rider - action part consists of monster bashing moments
Ultraman - action part consists of monster bashing moments
High School Girls - action part consists of softcore "H" moments
Initial D - action part consists of racing events
Boys Be - action part consists of boys courting girls (WTF?!)
Heavy dialogues are ignored and sometimes skipped...what's the fun in watching anime if not for the storyline...? You just missing out the fun and the suspense of the series and there will be no point in continuing the series. As a comparison, it's like drinking "limau ais tanpa ais"...
As evidence to the above WC acronym...

Great, Another Superhero Show...
Although Hollywood owns the movie industry, non-Hollywood movies should also be shown in cinemas! Why? If Superman, Batman and Spiderman can, why cant Ultraman and Kamen Rider?
Let's compare between Superman and Ultraman:
Superman:
1) Fights human villains
2) Destruction of the metropolis included
3) Has a weakness - Kryptonite
4) The usage of CG is aplenty
5) Fight scene is fake
6) Unexplainable super powers with utterly embarrasing names...
Ultraman:
1) Fights monsters (sometimes human villains)
2) Destruction of
3) Has a weakness - Darkness
4) The usage of CG is aplenty
5) Fight scene is fake
6) Unexplainable super powers with utterly embarrasing names...
And YET the same old Superman makes it to the big screens while Ultraman retires in Japan over the years and ALTHOUGH the Japs keep on making up new Silver Heroes over the decades, Superman is still the same old Superman *yawn*. Let's be honest, what do you expect to see next from Superman/Ultraman? It's the villains whom we're more interested to know. Unless that film is "Godzilla: Final Wars", then I'd most probably understand why it never made it to the cinemas lah~
At the end of the day, the results are still the same...no matter how hard the villain tries to "take over the world", it still boils down to the winner being the protagonist thanks to the one-sided thinking of the cunning director who eats our money like they were consuming oxygen.
*silence*...
Okay...if that statement ever made sense, I'll end here coz it's freaking 3.30am and I'll only be having 4 hours of sleep before I start my journey to college for a better tomorrow (Fuiyooo! So determined!!!)
P.s.
- If Spiderman is addressed as "wall-climbing web-shooting city-polluting"...
- and Batman being "cool rich handsome vengeful bastard" (because he lost his parents and he lives with a butler...?!!?)
- and Ultraman being the Silver Hero
- then what is Superman...?
Answer: Man of Steel who can fly with a pair of red undies...I guess Lois Lane has a lust for red undies...sigh...what a waste...bad taste...
(whoever finds this offensive is childish, how bout that?)

Different Ways Of Delivering A Message
Recently I just got an sms from a girl which mentions how important friendship is. This reminded me of an old sms from last year by my guy friend which also mentions how much he cherish our friendship. Obviously these two messages are not composed by them but rather forwarded ones.
Girl's message:
"A fren is like a computer,
I ENTER your life,
SAVE you in my heart,
FORMAT your problems,
and never DELETE you from my memory.
I'm very glad 2 hav u as my good friend."
Guy's message:
"Dear fucker! You are my fuckin friend, and I hope u noe dats fuckin true.
No matter wat the fuck happens, I'll stand the fuck by u.
I'll fuckin be there 4 u, whenever the fuck u need me, 2 lend u a fuckin hand, 2 do a fuckin good deed.
So just fuckin call me, whenever the fuck u need any fuckin thing.
Fuck, I'll always be there, even 2 the bitter fuckin end.
Keep dis fuckin promise so dat we will be fuckin friends till the fuckin end.
Take care of ur fuckin self, fucker..."
It's amazing how different genders play a different role in making friends. But anyways, I appreciate it very much (although it's better if we go out yumcha together, wahaha).

The Famous "Angry Uncle In The Bus"
Monday, May 22, 2006
It's Only a SHOW! God DAMN You ALL!!!
Yeah, it's ok to just talk/laugh/joke/cry about it, but what is with some people who takes it seriously?! Why do they object to the story of Jesus or the contents in the bible?! WHY?! How can you relate a movie to a bible just like that?! HOW?! Let me prove my point...
1) Did the author of the novel ever state that it is based ENTIRELY on the bible? No! Therefore, it is fictional! So shut your stinking hole!
2) The movie is based on the novel. Novel is fictional. Therefore, again, shut the hell up!
3) Even if the codes are related (which I find it very unlikely), what are you gonna do about it? Oh yeah, I've seen some people who'd bragged about how much they know about the bible...truth is this, truth is that, this is fake, blah blah blah, and so on...My question is...SO WHAT?! Tell you what...all you have to do...is just to keep them to yourself...watch the show like a humble servant of God...and control your fcuking EGO, dammit!
And frankly speaking, the people that I mentioned above...are mostly Christians...It's really such a sad thing to hear because they should be His loyal servants, and it's also really a shame to have them to react in such a way that it would bring down their dignity in Christ's sake! As for me...I'm not truly a Christian...but even if I didn't enjoy the show, I'd just keep my mouth shut to avoid hypocrisy.
To those I'd mentioned, I wished that no matter how much they repent to their sins, the underworld would carry their soul so far away, it would almost reach the end of the infinite darkness where no light will ever shine...rot and die and burn in the dark flames of hell...suckers...

Evening Outing
Went there with my parents this time. The whole place is surrounded by various types of foodstalls. You can find almost any food there, well, mostly local food la. They range from the ordinary Char Kuay Teow to Fish Head Curry to Bak Kut Teh to Ais Kacang. There are also some Western dishes (eg chicken chop, lamb chop, all the 'chops'...). The dishes aren't everything that they can offer in such a place.
The beautiful colourful lights that shines from every corner of the foodcourt accompanied by hip hop and dance songs coming from the central hut creates a romantic feel to the place, making it a hot spot for love birds. The whole place is theme-based on a Hawaiian setting. Coconut trees wave by the slight breeze of the cool evening wind. That explains the hut in the centre of the foodcourt =p
Drinks are ordered in a typical way, waiters dressed in Hawaiian clothes with warm smiles on their faces come by once in a while to clear the leftover food off those tree-trunk-like tables. Oh yea, forgot to mention, although it is considered an outdoor foodcourt, there aren't any mosquitos or flies around.
The worst things are better off to be mentioned last =p A good place is often accompanied by a SLIGHT increase in price. The Chicken Chop with Black Pepper Sauce I ordered costs RM8...and Ais Kacang priced at RM3.60. Parking...not so sure...because its next to a housing area...
Wanna know more? Location-wise: Don't really know the address, but a nearby landmark is the Badminton court in Taman Mega which is just off the LDP.
P.s. Just now dunno why suddenly when i was having my dinner, got dragon dance + parade. Then only realised they're having a parade for Wesak day. So nice...music...parade...lights...food...lengluis...and the sunset...And NO, im not getting paid for promoting Ming Tien...im just...u noe...expressing myself...exam next week...so erm...till then...
Too bad no gf yet... -.-

Like? Love? Admire? Crush?
Meaning of 'Like':-
To find pleasant or attractive; enjoy.
'Like' is used to define a feeling of admiration NOT to the extend of coupling.
Meaning of 'Admire':-
To have a high opinion of; esteem or respect.
To admire someone is to have the feeling of respect for that someone because of the qualities s/he has/had.
Meaning of 'Crush':-
To have passion or attraction towards a person.
Usually goes along with "have a crush on..."
To have a crush on someone brings forth the meaning of having the urge (sometimes includes sexual drive) to get close to the person, while having deep disgusting fantasies.
Meaning of 'Love':-
A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.
Includes mutual understanding between both parties.
Since everything is clear, now I can safely say that:
1) There are NO such thing as "Love at First Sight", ONLY "Crush at First Sight".
2) Liking someone or having a crush on someone will NOT always lead to loving someone.
3) Admiring a person may NOT mean that you will like the person.
4) Having a crush on someone often turns out to be like beating the air (doing things that don't bring any benefit)
Conclusion:
Know where you stand in life and plan accordingly. Don't misjudge people and don't take for granted that people will know what you're thinking unless she's a girl who always jual-mahal la~
=p

Who's FFK-ing Who NOW?!
The month of April started off pretty well. Everything was going fine, classes going on as usual, friends making lame jokes as usual, lecturers ponteng-ing classes as usual, accidents by the road side with typical kepoh M'sians looking over, causing massive unnecessary jams as usual...everything normal lah...until I was told that we're going to Frasers Hill 2 weeks ago.
Back then, I was quite doubtful and thought twice of joining my family to go. Four reasons:
1) I'm actually following the other side of my family whom I'm not so close with.
2) Exams are nearing.
3) Frasers Hill has nothing much to offer (Im an indoor guy, u see...)
4) Afraid that I might experience dirty things...
I initially rejected to follow my family based on the reasons stated above, but after doing some thinking...give it a try lor, since I made it a point that I wont be going back there for a long time...or at least not in the near future.
1 week after that, I was informed/updated that there will be a programming test (note that it's a TEST and not EXAM) right after coming back from the trip. That's ONE DAY after the trip. And as u noe...programming is not a subject dat can be read from a book...it requires constant practice. Not to say i will study intensively la...but then...staying back home is better than sitting down and rot there, thinking of wat might the questions be...and by the time i get home, i'll be a full vegetable...
So, what i did was to tell my parents that i can't go for the trip on saturday, sunday and monday...What i got is this...
Mom: That's why i tell u not to study last minute. Now u see, u hav to rush for ur exams adi.
Me: But i've been like this all these while...now u blame me for studying last minute when u HAVE to join/organise a holiday trip in the last few weeks of my semester knowing that my exams are all coming in...
Mom: Then if dats the case, can u spend the rest of ur time studying before the trip or not?
Me: I'm not sure also. Lecturer teach until where, i study until there lor. Lecturer also always ponteng wan...
The other day, I was doing normal stuff in my room (sleeping, watching anime, chatting, music...etc...), she came in diu-ing me inside-out upside-down...
Mom: Why u got time to watch show but no time to study??
Me: What la?? Think i'm robot is it??
Mom: If you got time to watch show, u better follow us then, coz i dun think u'll be studying anyway.
Me: So, u're forcing me to go is it? Just because you hav to give face to uncle, auntie, etc etc...Just let them know i'm having a test lah.
Mom: You can't study in Frasers Hill is it??
Me: How to study there...don't tell me wana bring the whole computer there meh...and if i study there, all the others will look at me one kind la...what's the point of going like dat...waste money meh...
Mom: Ei, i tot u said ur exams are mid of may? Why suddenly got test on 2nd may wan?
Me: Sudden test lah...TEST...not EXAM...
Haih...so hard to argue with parents nowadays...
(so in the end, i FFK my family)
End of chapter 1...
Chapter 2:
Following the incident of me FFK-ing my family, I decided to make a move...to invite friends over...to 'study' =p Believe it or not =p
Chia said he wants to come on Friday to ask me stuff bout programming/assignment. I told him i cant arrange that coz i hav duty as a TA in the afternoon...he asked me to FFK my duty and 'teman' him (omg, sounds so ghey). I held back that decision of mine 1st, and began asking others to come on weekends.
Very well...Wong, Ang and KS said they will come on weekends but they're undecided as to which day yet. They said they can come...so it's set then. Since Chia said he's coming on friday, Wong, Ang and KS on weekends...i hav decided to FFK my duty last minute sending a notice to my colleagues to keep them informed of my absence.
(so in the end, i FFK my colleagues)
End of Chapter 2...
Chapter 3:
I called up Chia whether its confirmed about friday...no reply...smsed him...no reply...waited until friday oni asked him...
"Oi, why never answer my call??"
"Driving la..."
"Then y never reply my sms??"
"No credit la..."
"diu, no credit then hav phone for wat?? gimme la, diu..."
"......"
"coming today, right?"
"dowan la...busy la..."
"......................................................................"
WTFKNNBCBMCH.....................................
Basterd child Chia FFK me...damn angry...sumore he kept on pestering me to release duty and 'teman' him...teman him MY ASS...go die la u, muthafka...
Today i asked Wong, Ang and KS about the weekend plans. Jibai...
1) KS said dowan 2 come coz SCARED JAM (wtf...if scared jam why say CAN come in the 1st place??)
2) Ang said can come on Sunday, but he won't come alone. Di mana ada sugar, di situ ada semut...GTH la...now no sugar...i don't expect any semut adi lah...another good FFKer...
3) Wong said wana study at home by himself...Niama...say until like that...as if im gonna rape him if the others dont come...oh yea...i still owe them a bukake session...oh well...
Guess i'm all alone this weekend...sad...
(so in the end, i've been FFKed by all the wasted sperms...)
*sorry about my shortcut language, just don't feel like correcting them...btw, u ppl made me do this*

Got High~~Aahhhh~~
Same thing happened...students queue up...student prints stuff...student leave...next student comes...repeat...But hey, I noticed this girl...probably 2-3 years older than me...look quite 'leng'...but had a serious face...and approached me (what a waste...smile la a bit when u see the lengchai serving u -.-). She asked me to print this, print that, blablabla...until the last document when she required me to change the slides page number (something to do with header & footer).
I tried my best to set the number of pages accordingly but failed...and then it happened...That was when she bent down beside me...her long luscious hair gently brushing against my shoulder...her hand reached for the mouse which I was holding (luckily I pull back my hand fast fast!)...and as I watched her modifying her slides layout, I pretended to lean back on my chair and looked out of the Epson lab window to erase all my horny thoughts LOL!
Aaarrgghhh, I barely escaped the "sexual harassment" move initialised by that girl -.- But too bad she didn't know that I don't prefer older girls...hahah! Or maybe I was just paranoid...? LOL I only give away the title of "girlfriend" only to those who are younger (one or two weeks younger also not counted!), have interest in games, look abit-abit 'leng', dun do drugs/smoke, and most importantly...appreciate value in self. All these conditions are provided if she's a "V" lah LOL
So guys...don't worry...I know how it feels to be accused of sexual harassment in your workplace (especially to my two dear cousins who are still "V" and are working to seek a gf desperately...no?). So...if anything happens...just "look out of any window" and may the Force take away your sins...LOL
*Damn her perfume kills...*

Of LCLYers and Fakers
LCLYers:
People who thinks that they rule over everything when he feels superior over another person.
Example 1:-
Guy A: Yor, i feel damn stress wei...
Guy B: Why la?
Guy A: Haih, my team mates la...all choose me to be the group leader bcoz I am the only one who knows what to do for assignment.
Guy B: Good la then...(feels a bit annoyed)
Guy A: Everytime also I become group leader...sien la...all a bunch of parasites...
Example 2:-
Auntie A: Eh, how's your son doing hah?
Auntie B: Oh, my son is now working in Singapore. Earning around $12,000 a month as a lawyer in XYZ firm. Got a great wife and staying in a Semi-D house by the sea. Your son leh?
Auntie A: My son? You sure you wana know about him?
Auntie B: Ya lor, tell a bit about him lah~
Auntie A: Ok ar...erm...where to start ah? Erm, he's currently earning a bit higher than your son lor...around $50,000 a month. Oh ya, forgot to mention that he's a doctor in ABC Hospital. There, you know the hospital when the Menteri visited on AIDS Awareness Day...ah, that wan lah. He now got a beautiful wife oh...from rich family sumore!
Auntie B: ...............
Auntie A: And then hor...he's saving to send his sons and daughters to a private school there. I feel very lucky to have a son like him. I pity other ah-sohs lah...hohoho!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fakers:
People who often fake about their true self aka liars.
Example 1: Always setting his msn status as away/busy/brb/out to lunch/on the phone even though he's not.
Example 2: Always denying the fact that he's smarter when he IS smarter.
Example 3: Acting as if he's not afraid of the dark when he shivers cold-bloodedly in a rundown abandoned house at night.
Example 4: Always trying to find an excuse to pretend that he is smarter.
Based on the above, I've tried my best to tolerate some of the above (yes, it happened to me) but deep down inside...feel like grabbing a lead pipe from the walls and shove it up his c@ndy @$$ ala "Condemned" style...
*video game kills*

Is He Noob?
Anyway, I'm not here to talk about me or my fellow mates (I wish I could, but I can't...). This post is all about an experience I will NEVER forget. You know, there's a thin line between a noob and a freshie. Freshies are those who are exposed to their new environments whereas noobs are people who makes mistakes and don't learn from them (which is closely related to being a loser). Such a simple explanation. Moving on to the story that happened today...
I was working in the Epson lab, handling the Pcounter together with K.Y. There were a few students queuing up for printing tasks. The last student was a guy who came along with his girl/friend. He asked me to print his assignment with the Gantt Chart (progress report), inquired on how much it all costs and so he paid for it. He then walked away with his assignment in hand.
Girl: Oi, you dont need to take your Gantt Chart hor?
Me: *Sweats*
Guy: Oh, forgot...sorry ar...
Me: *Smiles* It's ok...
Girl: Haih, so forgetful...
As they left, I went out of the Epson room to check on some stuff and a few minutes later, came back to clean up the printed softcopy documents on the computer desktop. That was when I realised that the guy who just left had forgotten to unplug his thumbdrive. I asked my colleague regarding his wherabouts. He said he saw the two of them walking one floor above, but when I checked they probably have moved to another floor.
Me: Wei, looks like I'm gonna have to lelong this thumbdrive if he doesn't come collect it back.
Colleague: Haha, good for you.
Me: LOL *spots guy and girl walking on the ground floor* Wei, there they are...but don't feel like chasing them lah.
Colleague: Go and chase lah...don't be so bad...
Me: Aiyo, if they're girls then I'll chase la, but they are probably couples...don't want to kacau them la ^^
Colleague: ..................
Me: Ok ok...I go...haihz...
From 3rd floor, I've been waving my hand at the couple who were on the ground floor heading towards the carpark...and the guy was looking at my direction, not sure whether he was blur or what...but what the heck, I kept on chasing...(felt like just throwing the thumbdrive at him from the point where I was standing -.-") I felt completely ignored... = =
Quickly ran ALL the way down, chased the couple until reached the carpark...call out to him so loud also he never perasan. Just before he got into his car only he noticed me...swinging the thumbdrive like a pendulum. The guy looked at me...puzzled...blur...as if he didn't recognise me...MCH...
Bloody hell, his bloody reaction so damn slow until he took 2-3 seconds to notice that I'm swinging HIS 256MB thumbdrive.
Guy: Oh, thank you so much! Sorry ar...
Me: -.-" It's ok...
Girl: Aiya, like that also forget to take, what la you. *looks at me* Ei, so sorry ar...
Me: *smile smile and rush back to the lab*
Is he noob? YES! At least she was there to make me look 'useful'.

Five Great Unrealistic Lessons
1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?
I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
Yeah right...ever heard of fussy, non-lecturing lecturers in APIIT? They DON'T GIVE A DAMN about any cleaners! And here you are mentioning about them in the exam papers...and wouldn't the students and their parents sue the college for giving such a non-sensible question in the exams? Heck, I'd even bet on my small brother that this issue will appear as the headline for newspapers for such ridiculous acts. Pfft...what a bad joke if you ask me...
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The MN took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab.
She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached..
It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."
Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.
This passage is completely BS. Get a life and look at the world today WITH YOUR EYES! The world and the society isn't what you thought it would be anymore! If the same thing happened to me, I'd not even care to look. Who knows, the person by the road side might be up to something. It is because of naive and soft-hearted people today that brings forth such incidents like robbery, kidnapping, rape and all sorts. WHY? Because they do not think before they act! If I take this case for example, the woman by the roadside MIGHT have a connection with kidnappers or robbers in her car, hiding. Let me just edit the story to give you a better understanding:
"One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The MN took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. While doing so, some robbers who were hiding in her car surrounded the white man, took away all his belongings and drove his car away. They then assaulted the young man and left him stranded in the rain. The robbers fled with the woman.
How's that? HAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a
10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.
"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.
"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied
The little boy again counted his coins.
"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies..
You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
Hmm, couldn't agree more on that...but it's such a sad thing to know that we M'sians are not of that kind. Most of us bite the hand that fed us. Also, along with the 'tidak apa' attitude...what else can I say...*sigh*
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
HAHAAH!!! This article made me laugh because it reminded me of the JKR services! Aduhai pekerja binaan, sentiasa letak 'roadblock' sini dan sana, tapi buat kerja sambil lewa sampai wujud 'traffic jam'. If a person would really perform what he did in the article;1) he will definitely NOT receive any reward from the PM /Agong / Ketua Jabatan.
2) he will be a laughing stock in the City for being a weirdo.
3) either he is stupid or he is retarded.
'Nuff said.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving when it Counts...
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it, if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded.
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
"Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt, and dance like you do when nobody's watching."
It clearly states that the doctor did not give him full explanation on how blood tranfusion is done. And you are guaranteed to find lots of doctors in our beloved country who use this trick to cheat their patients/persuade them to return to the clinic after some time. Money-eating parasites...

What If...
"Last time, I used to perform quite well in the subjects that I take during my primary levels. Ever since I started to step into the secondary levels, I found it more difficult to cope up with the subjects. New subjects started to appear in our syllabus after each year that passed. I started to get bored of them as none of them interests me.
I became a game addict during that stage ever since. Everything was all about gaming. I saved up my cash to upgrade my computer systems, go to cyber cafes, took part in World Cyber Games, and came back with trophies. My parents were not too happy/pleased with my achievement because they thought that games bring no meaning into life.
Then came my 14th birthday. I wished for something that I wished I would have wished earlier (funny statement though), which is...to make gaming a major priority in life. I slept through the night thinking of all the possibilities that could happen if it had become true.
The following morning, I woke up just to be scolded by my father for being late. When I reached school, I was surprised/shocked to know that the subjects have been changed! They had subjects such as "Computer Basics", "System Optimization for Gamers", and "Simple Games' Programming". Those were what I wished for all my life!
Some students who didn't know what the teacher was crapping in class, actually went to cybercafes aka tuition to brush up their skills! I willingfully accompanied some of my buddies to the cafe just to teach them the basics of playing First Person Shooters (FPS). You know...stuff like the 'w s a d' keys and mouse movements. I was not the only one there though, there are also some gangsters playing Real Time Strategy (RTS) games namely DotA.
Then came (Permainan Menengah Rendah) PMR and then the (Sijil Permainan Malaysia) SPM exams. Oh, how I wish I could resit them. Rules are simple. No webcams allowed, no bringing down the console menu, no accessing cheat codes, and don't make any noise during exam. Wow!!! I still remember the time when I PwNEd my nOob classmate in Quake II. I tried not to LOL but instead I got a warning from the invigilator nearby.
Needless to say, I passed the exams with flying graphics. Now what? Decision-making time to join a particular college. I had plentiful leaflets in my hands...it's just a matter of interest in the subjects the college had to offer. I obviously chose APIIT because I had a preference for games. Other colleges can enter my pants...
APIIT was such a paradise...the computer labs...gosh...it was like a HUGE cybercafe with extremely fast and up-to-date systems, except that they don't serve drinks =p The subjects offered are specifically categorized into their own genre; FPS, TPS, RTS, MMORPG, MMO, Racing, Sim, Puzzle, and much more! But for those who have just enrolled in APIIT, must go through what they call "the Foundation Year", which includes all of the above-mentioned genre. Sigh, FPS is the only subject I excel in. Others...at least a Credit. Oh well...
Once Foundation Level is over, I pursued the FPS course together with a few of my friends. What happened to the others?? They went into the RTS/MMORPG course...stupid DotA! Anyway, the games softwares are all provided in the labs, and they're all Original! At times like these, who needs piracy? Among the popular games installed there were Doom 3, Half Life 2, Serious Sam, and heck, even the John Woo + The Ring style game, F.E.A.R. was available!
Fast forward to after graduation day. I stood out of APIIT holding the title of "Masters of next-gen FPS". Finding a job was easy. It's just a matter of handing in the resum'e and going through the interview process.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interviewer: Tell me more about yourself.
Me: I come from an average family in Sunway and I don't have any siblings. I usually hang around cybercafes to learn from pro players as well as to build self-esteem. I have a very huge talent in FPS games. I have won numerous prizes and trophies during my early education. I completed F.E.A.R. in the Extreme difficulty without using slo-mo in less than 5 hours, I completed Doom 3 in less than 10 hours in the dark at medium difficulty, I have played Half Life 2 without ever stopping to save my game, and I could go on forever with other achievements.
Interviewer: Ok, don't you have the slightest interests in other game genres?
Me: Hmm, I do...but I suck pretty bad. I played Manhunt at Hardcore difficulty but I just couldn't manage to pull off those gory combos perfectly. Besides that, flying simulators don't suit me because I don't own a joystick. Sim games are not my type and...
Interviewer: Why so, if I may ask?
Me: Erm...
Interviewer: Yes...?
Me: Sims are for lifeless dudes...I mean seriously, man...get a life of YOUR own. I don't play God, I live to play MY life...and that is by playing games that make me ME...virtually.
Interviewer: Very good! I like your style! I'd like to see you next week, then.
Me: Thank you very much, sir! Pleased to meet you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And that was how grandpa got a job and subsequently found a beautiful wife and have you guys around"
Wow, grandpa! You played F.E.A.R.? Cool! You should try this game out - T.E.A.R. (Tenth Encounter Assault Recon)

"Godzilla: Final Wars" Review
Warning: This show is strictly prohibited to movie-goers who are more towards realism
(ratings are based out of 10)
Story: 5
Graphics: 6
Sound: 8
Acting Quality: 3
Replay value: 0
Storyline:
Earth Defence Forces (EDF) had a fight with Godzilla many years ago. They trapped and buried him under thick ice in the South Pole and never to be seen again. At present, there seems to be many sudden appearances of various kinds (and shapes) of monsters all over the world, mainly Japan.
There and then, came a mysterious looking oddball UFO who claimed that they're here to restore peace to the world. They helped to save Earth by quarantining all the monsters in the world. Well enough, their intentions are discovered with the help of a dog! (WTF?!) With the sudden change of plan, they began unleashing mayhem upon Earth, releasing the monsters all over the world.
Yes, all over the world...except the EDF main base. All hope is lost...and as a last resort, they must release Godzilla from his long slumber in thick ice to restore peace! Who will win? The aliens and monsters? Or will Godzilla triumph? (duh!)
Graphics:
To be honest, the graphics in this movie are almost decent and barely modern Computer Graphics (CG). It some sort of reminds me of the good old days when Ultraman and his monters were wearing thick rubber suit that rants around in big plastic/paper-like buildings. This time around with a BIT of addition...more explosives and wires involved for the flying monsters. Expect to see total mayhem of famous buildings (such as the Opera House in Sydney).
Sound:
Soundtrack is not included into the 'sound' category. By sound, I mean the monsters' groan and the effects of buildings collapsing. Godzilla's groan is the best among the monsters because of its originality. Voice acting is good as well...but the overall acting is still bad.
Acting Quality:
What the hell? How can they hire undedicated fellow citizens to scream and runaway from the monters while they are destroying the city in the background? Choreography is at its worst. Bad fight sequences both for humans and for the monsters. It is as if the "human hero vs alien villain" scene are scripted with major flaws. I'd rather watch Wrestling from WWE. "Monster vs monster" scene are often too short at delivering total mayhem and destruction except for the final battle. Oh, not to mention that the "monsters vs monsters" scene are lame as hell.
For example..."A two against one fight event. So what? Godzilla will outsmart the monsters by avoiding their attacks, Monster A will fire at Godzilla...it misses and hits Monster B, Godzilla takes advantage and eliminates them both at once..."
Replay value:
Oh gosh, don't even remind me. Unless you're younger than an 8 year old kid who worships Godzilla, you're better off doing something else (doesn't matter if it is beneficial or not, it's still worth your time) than to catch a glimpse of the horrendous acting. It just plain suX0rz...
Conclusion:
I recommend watching this show to those who feel like they have absolutely NOTHING ELSE BETTER TO DO. This show is more likely to make you laugh throughout the 2 hours plus.
*Earlier part of the show* "This is...operation Final Wars, move out!"
*At the ending of the show* "No, the war has just begun..."
What the hell?! Is it final or has it just begun?!

Tired of Business Organization Class
It is a total waste of time when the lecturer just gives us work without lecturing (even if she does, she will be reading directly from the slides). Yes, I know I have mentioned it before...but let me just briefly tell what actually happened to my group (and the class) today.
The lecturer came into the class...gave us a limited supply of case studies to be done in groups (yes, LIMITED supply, which means 1 paper for all 6 of us to share in a group)...and asked one of my groupmates:
"What is 'Total span of control'?"
The blur guy couldn't answer her. As I wanted to help him, I myself was stunned when she asked that. I couldn't remember her teaching that before. I asked my other groupmates about it...and obviously everyone looked like sohai LOL
And that's when I heard her scolding him and my group members...
"You all must be having short term memory loss."
*shakes head and walks away arrogantly*
What the fcuk?! Scold us?! Dei pundek, at least tell us what it means la...But wait! There she goes again asking another group the same question. They don't know the answer either. Not satisfied with us, she finally asked the WHOLE class what is 'Total span of control'.
"Eh, how come you all don't know what it is? Haven't I told you all in the previous lesson?"
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
"Oh, really? Sorry bout that"
As naughty as we can be, we whispered among ourselves and suggested to the other group to speak out loud what she had said to us...
"You must be having short term memory loss!!!"
Hah, that felt good. Padan muka. Scold us lah, come la...Nia Ma Hai Chow Chee Bye...damn muka tebal woman. Oh wait, there's more! She asked us, "What is the meaning of 'Decentralised'?" Most of us gave rational answers while some gave stupid answers. The thing is...even our stupidest answers couldn't be more pathetic than her 'clever' answer which is "Decentralised means not centralised"
APIIT!!! Anthony!!! Do something about this lecturer!!! We paid 40k for QUALITY EDUCATION!!!!

O RLY?
"What does 'o rly' mean?"
"Why does it come together with that owl picture?"
It feels kinda difficult for me to explain the origin of this catchy phrase, so here below is the newspaper article showing the 'simple-term-turned-into-a-widely-used-internet' term. Hope this clears off some issues.

Real-Life CS™
Transformers in The Making
The True Meaning of S.T.U.P.I.D.
Let's just say we were talking about "Incest" in class and that student asked the lecturer if he had done it before. Obviously that showed how shallow his mentality was. The response?
"That's a STUPID question coming from a VERY STUPID student, do you know that?"
I hate to say, but I have to agree with the lecturer. Think before asking la dude...just because everyone's having their jokes with the lecturer doesn't mean he isn't sensitive about certain issues.
Anyway, this is what I found from the net: The "true" meaning of S.T.U.P.I.D.

Sei Pat Poh
As every lecturer may have 1st time experience in teaching a new batch of students, she is the most UNSOCIABLE lecturer in history. She is so unbearable!!! I mean, what do students expect from a lecturer? What are the qualities we look for in a committed and dedicated lecturer? We expect professionalism and total encouragement from the lecturer, but we did not see those in her.
I may tolerate her for being so n00b on her 1st day in our class, but 4 days (of her lecture) has passed and she's getting more b**chy. She sits when she's lecturering, her crowd-control ability is a failure, her voice is horrendous, and i doubt that she has knowledge in the subject she's teaching because she always looks at the slides. When she's not looking at the slides, she will be giving examples of situations and that's about it, and then she'll skip the entire slide.
What's worse is that she doesn't actually do anything after she gives out case studies for us to do. That's just not the right way to teach. It's so unfair for those students who are in their first semester who have no knowledge of whatever shit she's passing around. What the hell? She's passing us case studies and expects us to write an essay based on it...but ironically she's expecting us to write stuff OTHER than what's in the case study!
That happened last Thursday. Fortunately we were able to handup our essays in time. Yesterday (thursday) she gave us back our essays and commented on it. She barked out loud saying that she gave us 1.5 hours to do an essay and all she got was a 1 page essay from most of the students. Nyamahai, she taught us so little and some more want to be so f**king demanding!
Then she barked again, claiming that she can write more than us in 0.5 hours. She boasted that she could write down all the points and explained each and everyone of them in detail...and then started to scribble them on the board. And then I noticed...she was looking at her paper while scribbling on the board. Pukimakchaucheebai, you gimme that piece of paper also I can write on the board and boast lah~~Try to act as if she's the ONLY person who knows the subject. After scribbling, she looked at us and started to give examples. Examples are all she gave us. Where are the freaking details in them?? Well...
"I already gave you the points, you should be able to elaborate them on your own"
So that's what you call "explaining in detail"...might as well don't even write on the board! We may have points in our essays but we cant elaborate enough on them because you didn't freaking teach! An she's asking us to elaborate...we might wanna know HOW to elaborate you know...
And one last comment...in our attendance list, she called my friend's name twice. The 1st time she called out, my friend acknowledged. Dunno for what-bottomfeeding reason she must call his name again...which by then he already shifted his attention to dreamland. The lecturer shook her head in frustration. Dah lah blur, nak marah orang pulak...cis bedebah...
