Pahroud to be Malaysian?

Wahsai, I got this link from KennySia's blog which i got from Dawn's blog whic says i am
38% Meraysian....yay! not too bad huh?

Congratulations alexis, you are 38% not Malaysian.

That means you're as Malaysian as...


Michelle Yeoh!

How Un-Malaysian Are You?



Oh yeah...SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI KEMERDEKAAN!
very quiet celebrations again, last minute only i heard the advertisements for Merdeka, fly the flag la, be proud la, but 4-5 days before it happens only they step up the promotion.
I actually tuned in to watch the celebration in Kuching. Sucked big time lah, even the performers didn't know the words to the sonds they kept playing along, waving their flags too. Their 15 minutes of fame use to show their moves moving like fish trying to breathe not going along to the lyrics. Tiuniamahai, want to be on TV also better abit la. Lip synch also pro abit la.
Merdeka is so dead nowadays. Wonder whats happening?
Then some stupid monkey says Mat Rempits are Putera UMNO's asset, sei sor hai, might as well fish for votes from the prisoners in Sg Buloh prison la. Telling this to about 2000 Mat Rempits during Merdeka, you gonna encourage them to race and endanger other peoples lives. Wave the national flag around and that stupid monkey says you're an asset. Tiuz, ask those criminal stuck in jail to wave the flag, see stupid monkey say the same thing or not.
If people like him are going to lead the country, we are going to be fucked la, can start writing laws to legalize butt fucking like Mat Rempits love. Since they are going to be the majority voters for Si stupid monkey, might as well make laws in their favour right?
Hailat lor......

NEW COMP!

Got my new comp on Sunday 27/8/2006! YAY!
Its an AMD 64 x2 dual core 2GHZ processor, ASUS M2N-E motherboard, 80GB Seagate HDD (seldom dl things anyway), 2x 512MB Kingston Ram, HIS IceQ3 ATI RADOEN X1800GTO graphics card, an iCute casing with built in power supple (wanted it for the fans).
still had to plug in my old IDE HDD and also the old CD reader/writer
new HDD is SATA, and had some problems doing it. New HDD keeps getting viewed as an external removable drive. Still figuring how to stop the comp from doing that. Up and running on the internet, hence the blogging/crapping.
Will have to try to study for next weeks exams. Have to reduce my computer addiction.

INXS concert/fake accents....2 weeks late

So...my gf got free tickets to watch INXS perform live in KL, we obtained "The Pitt" tickets. The only thing i knew then was that the singer was some guy that won a contest, so not exactly a fan lah! But the tickets were free, and we had a chance to meet them, have a cocktail dinner and enjoy the performance, so what the heck, go lah! Its an experience not to be missed right?
I had a long day in uni before I could go. Ended my project on a bad note, something irregular, experiment failed. Left uni at 5++pm, we were supposed to be at the Stadium Negara by 5.30pm, jammed from Jln Kuching to Dayabumi, arrived around 5.45pm. Was searching high and low for a parking lot, no signs to say where to park at all. Finally found some place to parked and happily got conned for a RM10 parking fee, while some earlier one i saw was RM6 (but that place was boarded up and looked damn dodgy). We parked behind the stadium, had to walk downhill to the front to the entrance. We signed in as special guests and were ushered in to the stadium, while the people with normal tickets were waiting outside.
We were told to sit in some section for awhile, while the band was practicing and adjusting the equipment. I was impressed by JD's voice, live sounds as good as on his video of "Pretty Vegas"
Soon we were usherd into "The Pit" area, thats right infront of the stage. walking in front of us were this bunch of girls giggling and speaking in high pitch, fast forward, and very very dodgy accents...that was irritating. Being excited is ok, but throwing the accents was funny. One of the girls shouted something at Kirk Pengilly, and he shouted back "Hi Leng Lui!". quick to pick up a phrase in our language eh?
We stood there for awhile, expecting to meet the stars soon. Then the manager came out and called us to come near, he told us about the do's and don'ts (No personal pictures to be taken, no kissing and hugging,etc) He also said we will be able to have a group photo with INXS at the end to the meeting session. That sounded really cool.
Soon they came down 1 by 1, and we actually stood in a row to greet them and get their signatures. Out of nowhere this chinese lady in blue came n grabbed one of the band members and started taking pictures, thats when everyone took out their own cameras and started posing the the INXS members. JD Fortune was the last to come out, and he was mobbed by the girls with fake accents, I decided to continue collecting the signatures of the rest of the band before going on to JD with my gf. When I reached JD, the girls were still mugging him, it was too dark to see whether he was being groped (LOL), just as I lifted up my poster for him to sign, the manager tugged JD's arm to tell him fan session was over, AND THIS WAS LESS THEN 5 MINUTES, give or take 30 seconds per band member. Before i could think of asking JD for just another signature he was gone...I had 5 out of 6 signatures on my poster.Damn!
Soon the organizing staff told us we could go for cocktail dinner, and brought us out, dinner was outside. Leading the way to a...locked gate! talking into the walkie talkies, wasting about 10 minutes before deciding to use another gate to get the the cocktail dinner tents.
While on the way to the cocktail dinner, these girls were still chatting, not that chatting is a problem, the accents were getting really irritating. It sounded like it came out of "Totally Spies". Shite! did they learn their accents from that cartoon??
Then one of them said "NANTI NAK SEMBAYANG TAK?"
ZOMGWTFMCHTNSKNNCCB-BBQSAUCE!
All that accent throwing and suddenly a phrase in the most basic bahasa/malay accent that you can get on the street/school/col/uni....I almost laughed my head off. If you want to carry an accent, carry it all the way lah!
Had a quick dinner at the tent and questioned the Celcom people about the organizing of the concert, whether INXS were really gonna come out and hav dinner with us or not, stuff like that, every reply was negative. Can't seem to get that final signature for me n my gf, damn!
We were ushered back into the stadium, while we were Q-ing up to get into the pit, the noisy accented girls were denied entry. One of them asked the guy manning the enrtance to the pit why not, and was told something, she then turned around, looked at me and said "He's not letting us in" YAY! Accent free concert! I showed my tickets to the guy and he let us in, I turned around to see if anyone else was coming in and caught the girls giving me this deadly "Stares of jealousy cos you can be infront of the stange and we can't" stare....6 of them...not scary! very funny! BUAHAHAHA!!
At that moment, there were only another couple besides us, I mentioned I was afraid there would be so few people in the pit, picture having less than 10 people watching the performance...weird lah! Got to know the couple, Shoban and Agnes, nice people really, and long time fans of INXS, since Micheal Hutchence's era.
Soon more people came in, the floddgates were opened. This skinny chinese girl stood beside me and started pushing to get closer to the middle of the stage. We waited really long for the concert to start. Some band nameb SingleTrackMind came at about 8pm to adjust their equipment, dissapeared and came back again at about 8.30pm. Their performance was bad, not a good live band at all. Kept on telling us this is from a yet unreleased album,a song dedicated to Pak Lah and DrM, cheeziness anyone? towards their last song their banner dropped of the stage, a bad sign for them i suppose, they didn't see it. They should have been called SingleTrackBand...
After the warm up band, the INXS crew came out to readjust all the settings and equipment, that took about 45 minutes, from 9pm to about 9.45pm, stading there was tiring, especially since we've been there since 7pm. The skinny girl beside me decided to lament on the long wait with an ACCENT! lucky me....being surrounded with accents... she said "OOah Mai gawd! whaats takiing so longg. Aii think ai'mm goin to faint" grrr...throw the accent away la...soon she got a phone call from probably her school friend and she was screeching excitedly into the phone " Wor zhai zhe li ah! wor zhai ze li ar!" which means "i'm here" and said something about being in the concert in madarin...another case of "can't pull the fake accent off-syndrom" behind me were a bunch of indian girls chatting with accents with a foreigner...is there no end?
So...now where am I? right! after the waiting and endless assault of fake accents on my poor ear, the lights went out, INXS walk onto stage in the darkness. I could see la, standing right in front of the stage after all. Again, I'm not a fan of INXS, so i didn't know what they were singing, but i was enjoying the performance. Shoban and Agnes were singing along to all the songs, cool!
A good band functions well with all the members, not just with a good vocalist. Each instrumentalist, the 3 brothers and Kirk were doing a good job, and JD was performing really well. Really good voice and a great entertainer.
After like an hour, they said their goodbyes and told us we were a good crowd and he loved us...guess he told that to every country lah! haha. It felt too short a concert for them to leave like that, and I figured that was probly a gimmick, or time to take a break. Soon the crowd was cheering for an encore, and true enough they came out again. This time louder than before. They were playing the old songs and of course the new, and of course "Pretty Vegas"
Sometime in the concert, JD walked off stage and in front of "The Pit", stretched out his hand to touch the crowd. Many people near the front lunged forward to have a chance at touching him, poor Agnes was crushed against the railing by some beefed up faggoty guy trying to touch JD's hand. Of all the hands, JD manages to avoid mine, maybe he saw that I was a guy and avoided it at the last minute...haha. No trouble for me when Jd came over, girls managed to avoid pressing against me. Rugi if rub their body on me huh?
Kirk Pengilly threw his guitar pick in my direction, me and this chinese girl were trying to grab it mid air, it fell out of somebody's hand, bounced on the floor, went through the rolled up poster of mine, and slid down into my bag. What luck!
Then the concert was over, while the crowd were dispersing, we decided not to get caught up in the human traffic and just sat down where we were standing. Waiting for the entrance to clear up.
All in all it was a great concert and really nice to have met Shoban and Agnes, real fans they are.
Photos will be uploaded once I get my photo-editing software back.

Bad week

The week began on a bad note, waking up late on a wet Monday morning, i knew the road to uni was going to be jammed. So i thought of using an alternate road. Which was quite a dumb idea as i'm unfamiliar with the road, I had to get to 3 traffic jams to get to uni that day. I was late for lab, but the lecturer was even later, so i could still go join the lab session. After the lab was over i decided to go for lunch with a classmate. One the way back i had to go through another 2 jams before making it to uni, and uni was just a few kms away.
Forgot what happened on tues and wed, but on thurs i got a call from my friend, asking me to go for a dinner on friday at a bistro. I informed my girlfriend about it and then we got into an argument/silent war about me not spending enough time with her. the argument lasted til 3-4am on a friday. I managed to get 4 hours sleep before classes. Got to uni with squinted eyes. had a silent lunch with my girlfriend and then i was to do my final year project.
It took me about 1 hour to prepare my sample. i forgot to bring my log book, which has all my calculations, apparatus and procedure listed down, so i had to sit there and think of what i needed. After preparing my sample and adjusting the pH, i started the computer to run my sample. thats when i lost my temper, I tried to start a certain program/the computer for about 30 minutes and nothing would happen. Windows would just start and hang. Nothing could be done, preparing the sample was a waste of time. I stormed to the staff room, searched for my project supervisor and coordinator to complain about the virus in the computer which hasn't been elminated yet, but they were not there. I walked out of the staff room seriously pissed, decided to walk down 3 level so i could kick the stairs door open...just to release a bit of anger.
I just don't seem to have the luck in my final year project. everytime i manage to secure a lab session, something crops up to stop me from doing it. The beginning of the sem was a good time to do lab, but my car was in an accident and i had to tend to it. Then this Short Fat Fuck (SFF) sharing the same equipment as me had the priorority to use the lab and managed to book weeks of lab sessions in advance, which leaves me and the others using the same equipment with next to no time to do project. When i managed to book it, the lab assistants were not around, i couldnt get in the lad the whole day, another time was when i got sick and wasn't feeling too well to sit in the lab the whole day. thats twice. I had only managed to book the lab 5 times. First was still testing, second was a failure because the equipment were changed and SFF knowing i was going to use it did not inform me, third was ok. The friday just past was supposed to be my 6 lab, which failed because the com was fucked, and our stupid uni is too poor to afford a proper anti-virus software.
really angry now with my project, nearing the end of this sem and lecturer saying 3 months holiday is not enough to complete it. Not being able to do it, on the only available days, the lab is overbooked by SFF...tell me who do i need to kill?

In a Limbo

No, not the limbo rock dance... currently in a weird state. I'm tired, depressed, confused, exhausted, stressed and can't think of anymore. I would like to hae a few days all to myself, no need to drive, or talk to anyone at all. Basically I want to be a vegetable for a few days.
I just had my Food Chem exam today, it was horrible, trying to cheat is as good as not cheating, nothing good happens. In this case, no one had an answer... everyone came out of the exam venue feeling shitty, or thats what I observed. Maybe the class geniuses were satisfied. This is the depressed part. Not to forget, my knees are injured and I can't play sports regularly or normally anymore, I need sports to cheer up, but not getting any at the moment.
Makes me think maybe I AM in the wrong field. Maybe I should be studying something else. I am thinking of studying something else after i graduate, but whether my parents like it is another matter. This is the confused part.
Tired and exhausted, from driving, lack of sleep, not having a good nights rest at all for the past few months. By saying this i mean getting to sleep for at least 8 hours with out waking up at all due to noise form the kitchen/TV/brothers room/family chatting and stuff like that. I always get woken up before my time, and it sucks.
Lets see how long this phase stays, before I find some peace.
