I got my hands on one woohooo!!!

I did the craziest thing this weekend. Me , Jamie and Uncle camped outside Berjaya Times Square last night(13 hours)just to get our hands on the new Album T (T2 to the rest of the world) sony cybershot camera for dirt cheap prices. Whats even more special is that we are the very first country in to the world to lauch this particular model and i'm the 75th person in the whole wide workd to get it....for once i suddenly become so "IN" already....hahahaha

The event was to start at 11.11am on the 11th of november (yea...u get the 11...11 idea) but to be on the safe side we decided to go the night before for dinner to check out the queue that we predict would be there.When we arrived at the main entrance at 7.30pm, we saw a bunch of ppl camping there with sleeping bags and all...so we thought...diela..even earlier than us.But then since already cannot be top 11 d...we decided to have dinner somewhere nearby(which was the biggest mistake we did).When we finished oogling at SHE in the restaurant and walked back to the main entrance, the queue had now become a 50 meter long queue with about 58 ppl in line already.

We did the next best thing which was to ask the sony style staff on duty who told us "I cannot tell u anything....but this i can tell u....if u line up now...u'll get a good price to buy it.".then he said, "its up to you if u're for the price or the camera...if price then think twice if for camera...no need think" so since we price ppl and he could assure us we get good price we went back to the etrance at 9pm and line up lor.Imagine that this is an event that is going to start only 13 hours from the time we queued...but the very first person (an aunty and her husband) had been lining up since 1pm....so it makes their wait a grand total of 22 hours -.-'''

We ate, slept,studied (not me alone...but a few other ppl i noticed) at the side curb in front of the berjaya times square.by 10pm...the queue had reach after 7 eleven.There were parents sending in mcD's for their children, Monopoly playing groups, fagging groups and of course those who will do anything to try to cut queue. At one point 3 guys tried to cut the aunty right at the front of the queue she shouted at them and a comotion broke out....somehow the aunty won la...coz she was louder...hahaha.Then there was this punching fistfight happening way front between a big sized guy with another thinner guy because of queue cutting ended up with the thin guy running out of the queue and his friend chasing after him.

All these was happening while they were building the stage and we all sitting till our butts and back ached.We brought sleeping bags which was the envy of alot of ppl coz all they had was newspapers.But it gave us place to sleep and flex our legs...which was a very good idea.Light but useful.We took turns sleeping and chatted and i studied. We were lucky that we could find toilets around.the first 2 times i went over to the other side of the road to the mamak opposite times square but after finding it a tedious affair crossing the busy road(yes....its crazier at night) we then ended up using the times square hotel lobby toilet on the 14th floor.

At 9 am we were ahown the prices we were entitled to and were all asked to go into a box like area from the streets we were lying on.we were lined up into the box in the shape of an S queue.Thankfully we were in the box which signifies that we will definately be buying it at at least 444.40.We had to wait through all the performances, singing and all before the coutdown was reached then it was officially launched.When we go buy it, we were asked to face the camera linked to the giant TV screen to smile and get our pictures taken before we were asked to go to the counter to pay for our units. I happily asked for the white unit and got my unit checked before hapily taking some pictures just for fun.

The pictures are still in the camera and the camera is at home in my room because i know its gonna be a distraction to bring it to uni.But i have a few pics i took with my cacated cameraphonela.....Envy Enjoy !!!

After 15 minutes typing an entry, i dunno what i did.its gone. And i'm too lazy to retype....so wateverla.This is a rant entry :(

Anticipation

Every year i look forward to listenning to a few great voices on their new albums.The obvious would be Stefanie Sun's,Tanya Chua's,Penny Tai's and Jay Chou's album.These are the few singers i really like listenning for their originality.David Tao used to be on this list too....but then his albums kinda changed course....so i guess my taste had changed.

With Stefanie's album out beginning of the year(i even got to hear her live) , its left with the rest to come out with their albums(Jay chou's secret album is really nice too....but his sluring singing album is coming out soon). I just got my hands on Tanya's new album Hello & Goodbye.The demo's(Close to Tanya X Original) were perfect....i loved them way better than the versions on the album.A little dissapointed but its ok....coz the other songs are great too.I like Hello & Goodbye, very original.

My favourite song is 如果你愛我. Loved the demo to bits but they had to change the lyrics in the final version on CD -.-''' i still love the versions on the Demo. I find it clearer without the accompanying arrangements, her voice stands out just with a guitar or piano...... Dear Tanya, no offense but if you're reading this, i like you in accoustics rather than the over done arrangements.But then your rock songs really rockla....:)

Now i'm waiting to see Jay's album and hopefully Penny's album soon.I like composer artists alot....because they are really tallented....but some like Tanya or penny is really under rated.I do hope Jay's new album is nicela....since he is so busy selling watches...LOL.But without a doubt....his movie was supperb.

whats wrong with this world?

为什么这世界上有这么多不及格的人? 让人操心让人烦? 又假又那么爱操纵? 完全不知道要干吗...又时常连累别人. 搞不好知己的生活却又要破坏人家的生活. 一种,用自己假的一面来对待别人, 装可爱, 又要人同情, 然后达到他自己想要的目的地就把刚利用的人抛开,完全一文不值. 另一种却是那种知道自己能利用的价值摆在前面, 充分的利用到极点...拿来摆布人家, 让周围的人听听话话的听他/她讲.还有一种就完全不知道自己要的是什么.有了 A 还要 B ，不然就是明明 C 不是他要的，却死都不放手. 我生为朋友都没有眼看了. 我不要理不要看也不要听,远离这些状况, 远离这些麻烦.但是, 最可怜的往往都是那些不知情又单纯的人....任命的生活. 多希望我能把每一个都叫醒,但是我的能力真的是有限.

Sigh....dunno whats wrong with me.

Yesterday, i lost my university locker lock.Good thing is, i reported it lost at the library and they found it yesterday evening.I've been rather careless these few days.Having problem concentrating, i really dont know why.For instance i left that lock on the library table and i even looked at the table one more time before i left and i didnt see it.Lynnette saw it and thought it was someone elses... =.=''' anyway, after that i went to the toilet with my bottle which i plan to take water from the filter after i come out, but then i left the bottle sitting in the toilet and only remember about it when my friend asked me y my bottle is sitting there. I have problems focusing....i have 4 more days before i have to pass up my assignment and i havent written a word.I think i will try to finish it by saturday.i really need to clear my mind after that.

Today, I was slightly late for Dr.Payam's lecture which is a series of FYP talks we have to sit in.He was nice as he didnt stared at me.i'm very afraid of his stare, its like he knows what you're thinking just by looking into your eyes....i feel hopelessly naked.(no not in the hamsap way) Just that his IQ is so high that he actually can imagine what you would have done without looking at your work...i seriously wonder if he is a part time illusionist or magician who can read ppl's minds. His talks have always been interesting, but my recorder(okla...my 4 year old MP3+recorder) failed to perform at such an important time.At that very moment how i wished i had a pda phone to record his talk.....but obviously i dont.its worst when u're sitting at the very first row and u cant record it....how sad.If u know someone with a not too old pda phone going out cheap....let me know,i might consider buying,since my phone also getting cranky.

Right after the talk i went to michael chung's room to wait for him,but his room was empty, so i carry on waiting for him outside the room.Wited for almost half an hour later, i sms-ed him "Dear sir, you coming back to your office later? i need to discuss my par and FYP with you" and continued waiting for a reply.As usual i thought he went to makan with his fellow lecturers and yak till late la...but of course that wasn't the case.Another lecturer I name him SK la...coz his name so unique i scared he google and find this the dielor...so he passed by me a few times d...then he finally come over and ask me who i waiting for,so i answered him MC. Then followed the following typical SK(being his overreacting + sarcastic + bad mouth) reply:

SK: he ar? today not goodlor....wont be back.
ME: but i made appointment with him wor...
SK: When?
ME: Yesterday.
SK: Oh....but he today not well.very badlor....totally collapse already.Wont come back today.
ME: ............ Thank you sir. =.='''

With his history of previous heart problems (mind you, he is 40 only, but i think got those grandfather heart d) i was thinking for the worst.Is he gonna die? No wonder he never reply la.....dielor...my FYP gonna die with him also? *sweat* so i sent another sms to him "nvm sir, get well soon.I'll make another appointment with you later.".....still no reply.

Until i got home then he messaged that he forgot to tell me he MC today.I was very reliefed.All thanks to the stupid SK la....make me thought he masuk hospital again. So i told him i'll meet him next week and he said ok.Sigh....i damn scared he kena heart attack in the middle of my FYP....then dielor.But then hope he is finela...he is still my first choice for FYP supervisor.Caise i can communicate with him.

Just now i discovered the second strand of white hair on my head.sigh....only 9 months of uni and i get white hair d....dielor.....FYP so stressla....i hope i wont have my hair all white when i graduate.

An eventful sunday.

Its been 2 weeks living in this new room of mine.changed the possition of some of the stuff around.Getting used to the feeling of staying over the weekend.But loads of work are starting to pile up already.Sigh....enough of honeymooning.....my first ASS for GUI is dueing on 8th.

On a happy note, we went off to Cheras(yeah...my so called home town) Kaki corner to have a western meal for a change. Had a very tasty mussel,a giant cup of watermelon juice(that i have been craving for awhile now) & a grilled lamb chop.Mine came super late la...juli even finished her meal before mine came.....but then okla...they donated some of their food to me while i waited for mine.


Kaki corner

Lyn, Juli and Yuen.

They have their own ketchup too...

On the way back, due to the enjoyment of turning corners at fast speeds, we did the corner speeding thingie today again but with the side window wind down, so our security wave tag which was on lyn's side of the dashboard flew out the window on my side when we were turning the corner.It happened so quickly, nobody noticed accept me since i sat in front, so i asked lynnette to stop the car and got down to look for the tag.Thankfully it was nicely on the road and not in a longkang or something....phew!

We went home to meet up with Suet Ling who bought the present and the cake for our later celebration of say yuen's bday. Ling wrapped it up and we camped at my place talking while waiting for the time to pass.We went down to get the cake and candles set and brought it into my room.But not long later, yuen and lyn came in and sat down...so had to pretendla.

I led them out of my room and went back to their master bed room and said i wanna watch Bones season 3, so that bought juli and ling some time and they came in awhile later with the cake. Not very surprising but okla....good enough.


The cake

The prezzie we gave.

Have class tomorrow.Should sleep now.Basketball after class should be a good excercise.Shall pack only tomorrow morning.

Back to the norm......

Procrastination had been the devils tool on me. I’ve been putting off this blog post for a long time not because I was SOOO busy that I can’t find time, just that I was plain lazy. It’s not even because there’s nothing to blog about, but in fact quite a lot of interesting things had happened these 2 weeks, but then I was just AGAIN plain lazy.

Classes had started….much to my reluctance for the holidays to end. Had to drop VP’s Real time system programming because he sux big time. You have no idea how someone can make such an interesting subject to become so damn boring and uninteresting. Most of my classmates drop boring and crappy VP’s class for a new lecturer Mr.Tang who is……over enthusiastic that we get so bored of his class either. Being the typical china man….he tries too much and hard to impress but fails very very miserably. But china man beats india man anytime coz at least if he craps, he still craps about something to do with the lecture and not recycle his lecture notes and lame stories like the india man does . LOL…even Edy my classmate says he can teach the deaf coz of his animated body language.

The only thing good is that I only have 3 days class per week but I have work to do to fill up the other 4 days of my week……so sad. After having last minute assignment allocation last few sems that caused terrible consequences, the lecturers are now fighting to give out their assignments ASAP, which now causes us to overdose with early dateline and multitasking confusion. I do hope I can live to see my convocation.

On a happier note, I’ve finally moved out of the four walls of the campus this year. I no longer feel so claustrophobic and I no longer have the urge to take 2 hour bus rides home to my home every weekend. I have a very comfortable room which is going to be as messy from day one to the end of my stay (so no point taking any pics I think) but I like it. It’s a nice place to relax and concentrate on my work. My neighbors zinc awning can be hell when it rains but I hope I do learn to live with that dreadful noise. It still needs some getting used to with having an aircond coz I don’t really use it every day as I’m not THAT pampered *wink*.But having one around is fun….just hope my mom won’t kill me when the bill comes.

After being in uni for the past 2 weeks, the most interesting thing to happen on campus had to be the accident where a Toyota Vios was turned turtle on the roof of the car with its tires pointing towards the sky that happened yesterday. Don’t know how did it happen or what made it happen but I took pictures of it with Juli’s N95. I hope it’s clear and I’ll post it when I get the pics from Juli.

Progress on my FYP is slow but i hope i can speed it up slowly and gracefully without cutting off the quality of it.Hope MC gives more attention la....I'm getting tired of doing everything myself without guidiance.Been acting like a baby lately as i've been feeling like sleeping earlier and earlier.By 10.30pm i already felt sleepy.On average i sleep at 11pm every night.Better train myself to sleepless and slightly later.Okay...i cant stand already...nite ppl.

离家出走

Today, i feel like a primary school kid all over again.I remembered the monday after a the long school holidays where i'd have to wake up to go back to school.I hated that feeling because i had that sense of lostness being an obvious banana in a chinese school wasn't helping and thinking of the many homework that be bestowed upon me made that monday a hell to accept.Somehow as i grew, that feeling left me...because i sorta got used to it.

Fast forward to the year 2007, having finished a 3 months holiday and having to go back to kampung Semenyih is not exactly a happy thing for me especially with the workload i'm going to face for this coming 9 months.Preiously in college there wasn't a holiday longer than 2 weeks, i hated that but now i think it would have been really helpful.Just enough to rest and u wont have to suffer shock after the holidays.

No matter how much i hate going back to uni, i'd have to accept the fact that this is obviously the most important period of my life.I'll either make it or break it here.To find a good job when i graduate will be totally based on what i do this 9 months.So if i've stopped coming home, calling or joining you all for yum cha sessions please dont be angry with me.I will miss you all alot but somehow, there are more important things in life during this period....I know u all will understand.

我下定决心 离家出走 才能带回属於我的美梦
爱著我的人儿啊 能不能再为我等候
我只能勇敢 离家出走 才能让我的生命更感动
我相信你会等我 你一定会等我

离家出走 by 丁当

A simple and sweet song.

Lately there havent been a song that is able to attract me just by the lyrics and voice.But this song 明白 by 叮噹 really did it.Not a overly melodic song, just a simple and touchy melody with good simple lyrics.I bet all those ppl stuck in such situation will go mushy all over this song.HIghly recommended.

你說你感覺不對 心情很壞
我無法控制 淚水流下來

莫名的難過是情緒作祟
沒有誰錯誰對 需要安慰 不能離開

我只是要你明白 明白我對你的愛
除了你 我的愛無可取代
我只是要你明白 明白我對你的愛
沒有人 讓我如此的依賴

你說你感覺不對 心情很壞
我無法控制 淚水流下來

我只是要你明白 明白我對你的愛
沒有人 讓我如此的依賴

我只是要你明白 明白我對你的愛
除了你 我的愛無可取代
我只是要你明白 明白我對你的愛
沒有人 讓我如此的依賴
因為你 我的愛 永遠存在



Anyone has the tabs? I'd love to play it on the guitar.I shall try to learn this song on the guitar. Hope i'll be able to play this song soon.

P/S: NameWee(The Negarakuku guy) got some new songs out. Support him at the imeem websitela.....or you can download it here. The password is (upload by lloollzzzz) without the brackets. Not badleh, the new songs :)

Saturday that felt like a sunday.

Today had been a great day.I learned,thought,saw and accomplished some stuff today. Not all can be typed here, but its just a great feeling.Nothing interesting in particular but i'd say just feels kinda special.

Accompanied my mom to Mid Valley to meet up with a couple of her secondary school classmates who've not stayed in contact nor saw each other for the past 40 years (ok, no need guess my moms age la....obviously its old). Its interesting how they could recognise each other from far after all these years.I cant even imagine myself 40 yrs later or any of my friends for that matter....but i do hope i dont need to wait 40 yrs before i meet my friends again.

Got my haircut(which still sucked) after much pestering from my mom over the couple of weeks and got some time alone shopping in MV.Shopping alone is so much faster and fun, i should do this more often.But then i was happily walking around and didn't feel hungry till 3pm while my mom and her gang was enjoying 3 hours of buffet at cititel.Didnt see the point of spending 35 to eat normal food with aunties talking about their good old days,doesnt make me feel any younger neither do i want to be questioned every few minutes.Trust me its scary.I setttled for nasi lemak at jusco.

Bought the string for my guitar for the third time to restring the broken one.After so many failures(and money spent), i was determined to get this string in.And i did it.So i guess it was money well spent for those previously broken string.....treat it as string-ing lessons lor.....LOL! Practice makes perfect.I actually forgot how nice the low E string sounded,boy does it sound sweet now ;)

Went down to times square after that to meet up with Jo, Jamie , KR and his GF.Quite pretty lor...but i think her pics nicer.As tall as me...but...only 17yrs young....part time model somemore.Aiseh, KR damn luckylor....i bet all guys must be asking him where he find one,LOL.If he find "Shuai Ge" he better let me knowlor...No need too good looking.Have aura enough...LOL....like this guy below Joseph Chang 张孝全.





Love his movie Eternal Summer.All the cast acted well.Story line good also....something different la....but this is life...no matter how u look at it.Straight or gay.Soundtrack by Ah Shin(Mayday) somemore.....but wat attracted me is the song by a nice female voice called 明白 sung by someone written as 神秘新人.But still the movie should win some awards.If you cant get enough of Joseph Chang, u can catch him in 温岚's new song 傻瓜's MTV .Looks like 贺军翔 must stand somewhere else lor.....hahaha,sudah outdated.
