Oh hello there...

Been a while my little bloggie...so inactive nowadays...but I bring good tidings today and I'm going to update this lonely blog...

1st up...I have finally started working out again...mainly to get rid of some excessive fat and my plan to pick up a martial art by the end of the year...stamina training is in the picture as well but so far not much progress...but hey, nobody said this is going to be easy lol...

2nd...I consider myself to be bloody lucky as I picked up a subject that's taught by my favorite lecturer...He's my favy for a reason...he's simply one of the best around...He gave us this assignment that requires us to travel to a backpacker hot spot to interview other backpackers for research...Sounds awesome...but I got grouped up with the Brotherhood of The Stoned...My group members are simply the kinda people that enjoys life a little too much...getting drunk and stoned is their definition of fun...not my cup of tea though...while it might sound like they're a sketchy bunch...they're actually pretty good people who just enjoys different things than I do...so I can't exactly judge them on that now can I? Besides...we all did what we're supposed to do...nobody slacked off or anything...which is just awesome...The other bad thing about this assignment is that I came home with a really severe sunburn...It's in fact so bad that my skin is peeling off everywhere on my back...it's like I have a map of Russia on my back...I guess this is what you get for not being generous enough on the sun screen lotion...

3rd...say yes to basketball...as a matter of fact...say hell yes...I gave up arcade games to make room for other more beneficial stuff...like basketball...and training in general...now instead of playing arcade games once every week...I play basketball once every week and jog 3 times a week...I do miss playing tekken in the arcade sometimes...but NOTHING...and I mean nothing...beats basketball...If there's one thing that's worth remembering in my high school...it would be basketball...

4th...this would be the 3rd time I'm trying to organize a paintball trip...the last 2 times I tried I have failed miserably...you could probably put it in the epic fail category if u want to but meh...I'm doing it again and hopefully I'll get enough people for it...

That's all Folks

Finally!

This is crazy...it's been 3 months since I've updated my blog...yet again mainly cause it's been very uneventful...k maybe not when my elder bro is back...then again we didn't really do much when he's back...the paintball trip never happened...and most of the time he's away with his friends so I didn't really get to spend much time with him anyway...

Then it's CNY...this year's CNY is kinda sad really...we've only visited one place...we used to visit like 4 houses...Well it's not that I like to go to these visitations cuz it's damn tiring in the 1st place...and we do nothing more than sit and snack on CNY snacks while the adults chat away...But I was taught to be courteous ever since I was a little boy...and not visiting our distant relatives or whoever they are just feels kinda awkward...But of cuz I was also thankful that it was over fast...cuz it's still boring XD

Speaking about CNY...I just realized that I haven't touched my angpaus...so I went and take a look...and literally discovered treasure XD

That's about the only interesting that has happened all semester long...oh but there's these 2 incidents that I got screwed over by my assignment group members...then again that really is nothing new...something to be expected from uni life...Something I didn't expect though was to have lunch alone with a girl twice in a week...say what you want but I usually have lunch on my own and this is relatively new stuff to me...I enjoyed it though :P

It's been a while

Wow...It's been like 2 months that I haven't updates my blog...Time flies eh?

At any rate...It's my new semester now...Besides nearly getting screwed over by my Uni again everything else seems to be in order...Sad case though...one of my classes starts at 8am...which is why I'm up this early...and I haven't been up this early in a very, very long time...It's surprising that I can wake up once my alarm sounded off...I can't even do that when I was back in high skool when I have to wake up at 6am everyday : \ Probably cuz I'm now 21 years old and only half the slacker I once was? I would like to think so XD

Christmas and Birthday was as uneventful as ever...nothing out of the ordinary dinner with family plan...then again that's just me : \ and also cuz me and my buds decided we might as well wait for NYE to celebrate 2 occasions in 1 go...And that's what we did...survived the traffic jams of the after party with my phone on music mode most of the time...then again the jam really isn't that bad...it's just that the cops apparently find it fit to funnel the traffic into 1 single lane on the highway...right after 3 other junctions connected with it...I suppose I should thank them for the effort as these road blocks could prevent drug pushers and drunks coming back from the party from driving around like any other drunken idiot do? But can't they set up the road blocks before the highways to prevent such a massive jam? I'm guessing they're gonna give the typical excuse of "not enough manpower", Malaysia truly Asia indeed...but thank heavens right after the road block...traffic is as good as it gets...all the way back to kl at 120 km/h

As for the Aus update I promised...My elder bro is back and is currently hanging around the house enjoying some well deserved rest after graduation...and like he said he would...he brought back them photos that he had taken during our time in Aus...so pix and blog post would be updated soon...

Oh and...a little something for you animation hard-ons...and I don't mean anime animation...just a jap music video that has some really nice animations...

That's all folks

Sem Break!

As the title would suggest...I have finished my finals and is currently on holidays for about 1 week plus now...nothing much has happened but there are some notable stuff to post about I guess...

1st thing I did after my finals is having Max lending me a hand in formatting and cleaning my PC...I'm a NOOB in terms of computers and thx to him most of my computer is back into operating condition in an afternoon...though there are still some softwares missing here and there...but nothing I can't handle on my own (the power of google)...there's not much difference between my PC before and after formatting...but there's one notable difference...the audio simply sounds better for no reason...don't ask me how cuz my friend didn't do anything weird either...that extra bass is simply evident...

The other differences are that I changed my default internet browser to Google Chrome instead of using Firefox again...wanted to try some new stuff...and also changed my winamp's skin to one that matches the current theme I have applied to my Google Chrome...

Pic is here ---> http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b188/AoD22/miku-fied-1.jpg

In case u're wondering what anime is that girl from...she's not...in fact she's a music synthesizer program called Vocaloid...yeah u heard me right...a program...think one of Al Pacino's old movies S1mOne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S1mone) I can't really explain how the program works in here cuz it would be a drag...and hell I don't understand it either...but for more informations u can read it here ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocaloid

The reason why she's all over my desktop was at 1st...simply eye candy...then I tried some Vocaloid music...which I at first didn't appreciate either...then after a few listen...I'm actually enjoying the music...think Coldplay on estrogen...yeah...I didn't appreciate Coldplay much at 1st either...but now I'm a fan for lack of a better word...

I think the main reason why people would find it hard to appreciate the music at 1st is cuz...it's just different...the music is fully digital...everything from the rhythm to the vocals themselves are created digitally...and anyone who owns the program which is also on sale that knows how to use it...can just create a piece of their own...so most of them wouldn't sound like conventional music...and this Vocaloid thing is still quite new...1st introduced in 2004...currently extremely popular in Japan (place of origin) and spreading...Another thing I have noticed is that most Vocaloid lyrics are telling a story, and mostly have a PV (something like a music video) that comes along with the song...But of cuz this program isn't without its flaws...like any other program...they are programmed to work best in certain situations and stuff...and in this program...different voices are best to be used in their respective genres which were recommended

Here's one song that I would recommend for anyone who's interested...it sounds the closest to conventional music...but it's really good...in fact this is THE song that got me interested in Vocaloid music...

That's all Folks

An Update! Finally!

Man...how long has it been? A month? Probably more than that...It's about time I throw another post in here for whoever that's kind enough to drop by my blog and read...pleasure to have u :) A lot has happened and I'm not sure where to start...But I guess I'll just leave out the unimportant stuff...

1st of all...the Taman Negara trip...that was about a month ago already...but it's worth mentioning...that it sucked...bad...It was so damn boring that the only true fun I had would be running my ass off trying to get to shelter before getting caught in the rain...which is approaching from behind...yes...approaching...heck we can already hear the sound of a downpour closing in from behind...and we barely made it...besides that and getting randomly drenched in river water thx to a playful tour guide who is on the boat next to us who splashing water at us when he passed by...the hike was alright though...it would have been better if not for my ass low stamina...which is just pathetic...the experience of the trip was further hampered down by food...the food provided to us aren't even half decent...and by the time we actually decided to pay for better food...and actually found decent food...it's like heaven

2nd...the start of a new semester...and I'm also happy to say that I have passed all subjects I have taken yet again...but the bad news is...I'm stuck with 1 subject for this semester...yet again! But why?! I'll tell u why...I applied for 2 subjects in my course selection...it's a short semester so I should only take 2...1 was accepted...the other rejected...not wanting to waste another semester...I applied for another subject with around 1 week left till the course selection deadline...then the bloody status for applying stays on pending till past the deadline -_________- to tell u the truth that feels so much like trolling...and it's already the 2nd week...some classes are already having their 1st quiz...and I already have my final assignment outline given to me...it's a freaking short semester...in the end i'm forced to drop that subject or risk failing cuz I would have a hard time catching up to whatever the other class is up to...

3rd...ANIMES...I believe that I was suffering from extreme anime overdose since the start of my last sem break...I finished a 74 episode thriller anime in 3 days...another drama anime with about 50 episodes...and some other animes that has been in my external hard disk cuz it's just so damn good that I don't feel like deleting it...>< But I should probably do some hard disk cleanup so free up some space just in case...although it's still only a little more than half full...

4th...games...I just got myself resident evil 5 the other day...it's awesome...but could really really really use some better AI...ur AI partner is so dumb in so many ways that it's just frustrating to list down the details...I'll leave the ranting to whoever that's going to try the game next...and oh...I've been playing Tekken 6 int eh arcades for a while too...I've gotten better but till have much to learn as I still get whupped easily by the more skilled guys...It's fun though...:p

And that's about it...other stuff are probably too insignificant to be mentioned so...

That's all folks

Annoying...oh so annoying...

I just caught myself a cold recently...no worries it's not H1N1...experienced these kinda shit a few times before...can't say I'm too happy to experience it again although it's not the more dangerous counterpart that I'm infected with...Same bloody case again...I got snot flowing backwards to my throat and overtime it turns into flem...causing a hacking cough...

Been coughing like that for a couple of days now...today would be the 3rd...1st day would probably be the most serious as I actually coughed till my throat started to feel painful (experienced it before too, sad to say -_- ) 2nd day...throat is considerably better and coughing less...though it seems to be worse at night...especially during my sleep hours...making me lose some sleep though not totally...3rd day...cough seems even less...looks like I'm well on the way to recovery...

Well I was dead wrong about that...coughing is the worst so far during sleep hours although the sore throat has entirely disappeared...I was coughing so much that I simply can't sleep...it's like every time I get close to sleeping (feeling relaxed and starting to fall asleep) a wake-up call in the form of a damned cough would make me come to my senses...so I kinda spent 4 hours on my bed coughing every 5 minutes to keep myself unwillingly awake...

It's not my 1st time losing sleep, but losing sleep over something like this is just annoying...if there is a level rating for my annoyance it would be over 9000 now...seriously...this is like someone playing a practical joke on me to prevent me from going to sleep...and thx to that...here I sit now typing this blog post for lack of something better to do...annoying...oh how annoying...

Well it's been a while since I blogged anyway...but I've been wanting to say this for a while too...Micheal freaking Jackson...frankly speaking...I just don't get it...people seem to only truly be appreciated when they're actually dead and can't BE appreciated...and such I find the buttloads of people who jumped on the MJ bandwagon more of an insult than honoring the King of Pop...I mean seriously...put urself in his shoes...for the last decade or so I might say people have sort of starting to forsake MJ for his eccentric behaviour save for his hardcore fans...then when he died people start regarding him as a legend...what sort of hypocricy is this?! I've never really liked MJ and my opinion has not changed just cause he's freaking dead...People say I'm heartless but I say it's common sense...you wanna honor somebody then do it when they're alive and kicking...not when they're dead and it already means nothing to them cuz they're 6 feet under and rotting like any other corpse in the world...

That's all folks

A breather

FINALLY.........I was rushing my ass off with assignments lately, and now I finally have a breather...with 2 assignments down and 2 more to go, I am certainly looking forward to that sem break and the end of semester dinner that I'm going to have with my public speaking class, along with the lecturer that I have grown to respect so much...

That aside, another 2 weeks and I'll only need to worry about my psychology paper which I have around 2 weeks free time to study it...I have ample time and opportunity to get my brain filled with what's important so I guess I'm lucky to have that...But damn, I have never rushed that many assignments in such a short time before, and that was hella tiring...it's probably a blessing that next semester would be a short semester, and best of all, I get to go to Australia and visit my dear old brother...

That's all folks
