The Revival!

2009-10-15T20:45:00.018+08:00

Holy crap! It had been more than 3 MONTHS since i've updated my blog. Blame it on the bloody EXAMS, which have not even ENDED yet! Thank you Mr. Tan for forgetting to set the Mod Maths paper 1 questions! Oh well, I think its about time to revive the blog now :P

Hmm... since I feel like it, let's blog about some new Gadgets that i've got? :P

First up, my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 camera which I got on 30th August 2009(Yes I remember the exact date! *GASP*)

Sexy Eh?

Got it in Summit for RM1600. it was on promotion when i went there! It was one of the last 3 units available! Anyway, thanks to this camera, you'd be seeing random pics on this blog a lot more often :P

Lazy discuss the specs and features, will do that on a seperate post next time

Lummi Wee NS

Well, if you don't know what this is, its a flashlight.

And its REEEEAAAAAAALYYYY small!

Comparism shot with a 50c coin, a regular AA battery, and the light itself! The blue thing there is the battery its using, which is a Lithium Ion(YES! Same type as those in ur phone!) 90mAh cell!

Damage? Rm385 for the light, charger, 2 batteries and tritium vials.

Worth it? HELL YEAH!! Wear it everyday, even to school!

Speaking of Tritium, watch the Tritium GLOW!!

No, obviously it ain't THAT bright, just a photography technique i used . But trust me, its bright in total darkness all right!

Bright Bright Bright!! Thats the only thing i can say about it. Check this beamshot out! This is pretty much what you're looking at in real life.

Last up, my Gigabyte GM-R04 Optical Gaming Mouse!

My previous mouse was starting to act a little conky when the right click button decided to act unresponsively. Plus, my old mouse doesn't feel that comfortable during long use. I NEED a mouse that is ergonomically comfortable since I usually spend more than 5hrs a day in front of a PC!

The Gigabyte mouse have very goot ergonomics, all the curves at all the right places, indented thumb rest makes it even more comfortable to use for long hours. It is also noticably heavier than my old mouse, maybe twice the weight, which is a good thing. Not only is the ergonomics way better than my old mouse, the Gigabyte also gives me 2 extra buttons right above the thumb rest, which is programmable to any key i want. Currently its set to Double Click and Back. Thanks to this, it feels weird double clicking when using someone else's PC now! . DPI sensitivity up to 2000DPI ain't bad, plus it have a DPI-switch-on-the-fly button. IMO, 2000DPI is pretty overkill. On my miniscule 17" monitor, the 1200DPI setting is more than enough!

Damage? Only RM58!! IMO, its WAAAAAAAAAY more worth it than say, a RAZOR Krait, which is used in most cyber cafes in SS15. The Gigabyte is heavier, comfier, more sensitive(if i need it to), more responsive, have more buttons, and most importantly, its cheaper! Rm58 for the Gigabyte vs. RM109 for the Krait!

Fun Facts!
1. I'm gonna be working this weekend, and also during the Nov + Dec holiday.

You can find me at Orbit IT Centre located in Subang Parade Digital One, Lower Floor

2. All the photos+videos that i took with the LX3 takes up a whopping 11.2GB, and it had only been 1.5 months since i'd had it!

3. I had snapped more than 4000 photos in less than 2 months!

Guess Who's Back?!

2009-10-14T20:39:00.002+08:00

Yeap, thats right! I'm back!

Well, check back tomorrow for updates :P

currently thinking what to fill this blog with. LOL!

I'm back!

2009-07-03T00:10:00.004+08:00

2009-06-26T23:06:00.003+08:00

Wohoo! Finally freed myself from the monopolies of WIndows XP. I'm now officially running on completely legal softwares and operating system now! :P

Although FireFox does looks kinda funky when viewing Lowyat.net.

Anyway, won't be updating my blog too often after this post, have to get used to UBUNTU now lol. But i'll definitely make a post about this coming Sunday's Talent QUest Semi FInals. Watch out :P

Today, Yesterday and the day before?

2009-06-21T23:33:00.007+08:00

Hey guys, sorry I did not update my blog for quite a while. Was ~~lazy~~ not able to find time to update my blog lol. Have a feeling that this is gonna be a looooong post since its a 3-in-1 post. Sorry for not uploading the campzilla photos that I promised, but damn! Got 200+ photos sial! How to upload?! Maybe nx time lol...

Friday

I got myself a new set of chargers + batteries to replace my vented Eneloops for use in my flashlight. Got it online from Mudah.com.my for RM120 only! Man you guys should check that place out, quite a lot of stuff there and also can nego kau kau since barely anyone checks that place.

The batteries are rated at 2100mAh, 100mAh higher than Eneloops, feels slightly heavier and also have better build quality! Eventhough the Imedions are made in Taiwan while the Eneloops are made in Japan. The charger itself is pretty unique. It has 4 independant charging channels. What that means is that you can put in 4 cells with totally diffrent charge states, types and size and it will still charge normally! Another unique feature is the capability to switch between a 2 hour fast mode, or an 8 hour slow mode. In the fast mode, the charger will charge the batteries up to 93% charge rate, while in the slow mode it'll charge all the way up to 98%!! Pretty good by today's standard. Tested it in my torchlight and it gives out 1 hour and 30 minutes of constant 195 lumens! Compared to my vented Eneloops which barely lasts 30 minutes.

You guys should try out internet shopping man, its so convenient! Only thing is that you'd have to be careful and use your common sense. The safest way to deal would be COD which stands for Cash On Delivery. You set up a place to meet and deal there. The other common method is to bank in to the person's bank account and he/she'll deliver it to you via postage. The latter is somewhat risky, unless you're buying from a reputable dealer. Do NOT bank in money to someone who does not look trustworthy. If a deal is too good to be true, it might just be. A good site to deal in would be Lowyat.NET's garage sales and bulk sales section.

Saturday

Was busy pwning Daniel in CS online when suddenly my bro called me. He ajak-ed me to go to Pyramid to watch Monsters Vs. Aliens 3D! Had not tried 3d yet, nor had I watched that movie, so I went. Brother came and picked me up late, 6.15, while the movie starts at 6.30. Somehow managed to reach there in time to collect the tix and enter the cinema. Received some weird glasses at the counter and entered the cinema.

Movie starts and 10 mins into the movie, THE FUCKING THING FROZE! Then it went blank and the lights went on. WTF?!?! After that, a guy came in and announced that because of Technical Difficulties, the movie will be replayed in 5 minutes time. Fine, as long as I get to watch my movie. 15 minutes later, a woman came in and talked loudly that the Technical Difficulty is taking longer than expected to fix and asked us to go to the counter to get a refund. WTF?!?! I CAME FROM FUCKING SS19, WASTING PETROL, TIME AND MONEY FOR POPCORN TO WATCH 10 MINUTES OF NOTHING?!?! Mother fucking cibai sial. Fine. Tried to catch the 8.45 show and was told that they themself don't know if it can be fixed by then. -.-"

Impatient ppl waiting for the restart, which never came.

Saturday

Today was the day, TALENT QUEST SMKSU AUDITION!!

More like a singing/dancing contest though, coz there were only 2 categories, singing and dancing. This year there was no band, learned from past year experience that bands take damn bloody cb long to get ready and perform. This year's talent quest saw 44 in the singing category and 11 in the dancing category, and ran from 1230pm to about 615pm. Imagine how long it'll take if theres an extra band category!

I was part of the crew, under logistics, same as the other RELA members. Our job was to arrive at 9am, and arrange all the chairs in the hall for the spectators to sit in. And guess what, our school actually installed a humidifier during the mid-year holiday renovations! But IMO, it made it worse instead. As if the hall isn't only hot, but its also freakin humid! It was like an urban rainforest!

The crowd was pretty good. They cheered for every single act! Most prolly coz many of the spectators are from other schools, supporting their own. Our school was never that sporting lol. Racist sial the ppl there, in a good way lol. Theres this ang-moh who joined the talent quest, and although nobody know who he is, EVERYONE, and i mean EVERYONE cheered for him even before he started! His singing ain't that bad though, he was one of the 10 who made it into the semi-finals.

Ang-moh fella singing

The best was yet to come though, Dancing category was next and the hall was filled with people, expecting ~~lotsa eye candy~~ to see some sick dance moves. The last one was the BEST SIAL!!! GOGO DEGELS!!! Why are they the best, well, wait till next week when I record their dance vid. :P

The most Zha Dou part is when a girl came out dressed in a long skirt and speghetti top, where she danced balet for a good 2 minutes. The crowd was already falling asleep and then the song ended and she exitted through the left stage door. After a couple seconds of silence, the crowd clapped, expecting it to be the end of her performance, when BAM! She loses the skirt for a track pants and did some HARDCORE MOVES MAN!! Pretty much expected though, nobody in their right mind would perform balet in front of teens lol...

The rest was pretty good, one group even performed Tecktonik. Since there are only 10 finalists per category, judging for the dance category was pretty easy, all they had to do is remove one.

Well, thats over for now. Next is the Semi-Finals which will be at the same place, and starts at 2.30. Make sure you guys go and SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL!! Congrats to Revathi and Shereen from our class to make it into the semi-finals!!

/Endblogpost

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

2009-06-17T22:59:00.002+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Had my dinner today at TGI Fridays with my family today. Not bad sial that place! Birthday dude gets a free brownie with ice cream topping! Plus they sang a bday song for me lol. They asked me to do some stupid stuff also lol. Had to stand on the chair and freeze like a statue for 30 seconds in the middle of the restaurant. LOL!

Too bad never take video or photo of that, would be so nice :(

Anyway, had an awesome birthday today!

And to those who wished me, thanks man! I appreciate that!

Paid.

2009-06-13T01:40:00.006+08:00

Remember my previous post about the Flashaholics gathering? Remember that tiny WEE little light that produced a farkin huge load of light called the RAW? Well, I'm gonna get the smaller brother called the WEE.

How small is it? Well, heres a photo for comparism.

The one on the left is the WEE, while the one on the right is the RAW.

With a light that small, you must wonder whats powering that wee little light eh?

Well, its a custom made 10180(10mm by 18mm) li-ion(thats the same type as ur handphone!) battery, which is amazingly tiny, especially compared to an AA cell.

Just placed an order for the light, along with an extra battery, a charger, and 3 Ice Blue Tritium Vials*.

Bye bye Rm385, was fun knowing ya'. T.T

*Tritium is a radioactive isotope of Hydrogen, containing one proton and 2 neutrons. What makes it so interesting is that when you put Tritium in a glass vial containing a phosphor(think glow in the dark stuff), it makes the phosphor glow, for 12.33 years until it reached its half life. The tritium acts as the power source, exciting the phosphors and makes it glow.

Pyramid.

2009-06-10T02:02:00.003+08:00

Went to Sunway Pyramid with Zhafir, Kugen and Kenji today.

Woke up at 9.30am, went online and searched for the phone number for the cab(yeah, i'm pretty last minute). In the end i called up Sze Jin for the cab number, which, for your information, is 03-80242727 for Comfort Cab. Expected them to take about 20 minutes to arrive, so at 11am, I called them up and told them I need a cab now, still wearing only my boxers. Hanged up the phone and went downstairs to get some water, when I got back to my room, I saw the cab waiting for me outside. WTF?!?! So damn bloody fast!! Frantically, I put on my jeans and randomly grabbed a shirt and put it on and ran downstairs.

Cab costed me RM7.40. Oh well, pretty standard considering that it costs Rm7 from Pyramid to my house anyway. Reached there and waited a couple of minutes for the rest to arrive. Accompanied Zhaf to purchase a pair of shoes coz his pair is busted. He walked all the way to pyramid from his house with a super-thin pair of slippers, and was wearing jeans! WTF?!

After that, I got myself a pretty cool chain for RM39 from some silver shop which specialises in selling chains. Randomly picked a Stainless Steel chain from the display.

Bought the chain mainly for the chain only. Need it for my upcoming Lummi Wee which I would be wearing around my neck. The dragon thingy is just for temporary use while waiting for my Lummi Wee to arrive lol. If you read my previous blog post about the Flashaholics Gathering, you would've know what a Lummi Wee is. :P

Anyway, we went to the cinema and purchased tickets to the 2.30 screening of Night At The Museum 2. While waiting, we originally wanted to have a quick game of bowling, but the idiot cibai lady receptionist bloody lanc. What happened is that all of us except Kenji have a student card which would qualify for student discount. Although he's only 16 and definitely a student, that idiot cibai lady declines to give student discount. Fine. We wanna play 3 person, so i gave her RM10 and told her we don't need shoes coz we were all wearing skateboard shoes, which should be sufficient for bowling and would also save us RM3 per person. But noooooooooooo, we MUST rent the bowling shoes no matter what. When we told her about our shoes, she handed me the cash and asked me to go get a drink. WTF?!?!

In the end we went to play a game of pool. So much more worth it, only RM7 per hour! Had a fun time playing though Kugen was totally pwning all of us. Had a few lucky shots and a few dumb shots, sadly no video. :(

After pool, we went to watch the movie. Movie was not bad, though I had not watched the first installment, I catched up to the storyline pretty quick. Movie ended and we wanted to sneak back to the entrance door to watch another movie, but DAMMIT! Theres a lady there who told us off! Argh...

In the end we walked around Pyramid looking at ~~blazing hot chicks with miniskirts ice skating~~ phones and stuff. Walked back to SS18 with them after that. Weird eh? Sat a cab to pyramid but ended up walking home. What to do, economic crisis ma~ Have to save money lol...

Arrived home, ate my dinner, and my tuition van who was supposed to come at 7.30, came a whole 30 MINUTES EARLIER!!! Bloody hell, when the van came I was still happily chatting away on MSN, till my maid came rushing into my room saying the van is already waiting in front. -.-"

Tuition went as normal, with the exception of our Chemistry teacher who taught us some outside knowledge, like diffrent blood types and what if 2 person with 2 diffrent blood types gets a baby and stuff like that. Pretty useful information there.

Damn, its already 2.30am, time to sleep, ciao!

Night Jogging.

2009-06-08T22:32:00.006+08:00

Yeah, I jog. So what? Hard to believe? Don't underestimate me weyh, although i'm fat and lazy, I still exercise. :P

You must think I'm crazy to jog so late at night judging by the current crisis of rempits and snatch thieves on the run. But hey, thats just part of the fun. Night is, in my opinion, the best time to jog. You don't feel as tired as you usually do and can run further, and since you sweat less compared to jogging in the afternoon or evening, you also don't need to bring much water. Night jogging could be a fun thing to do, one just needs to be ready and must always be cautious to their surroundings.

8pm at night. I sit here in front of my computer, trying to find something interesting to read or do something to kill time. Nothing. I went downstairs to watch TV, but too bad my grandmother is already watching it. Oh well, i've gotta do something. No way in hell i'm gonna sleep at 8pm, I rather go jogging. Oh shi-! Thats a BRILLIANT idea!

Immedietly I went back to my room, put on my track pants and bright yellow jersey, took out some cash from my wallet, just in case I got desperate for a drink mid-way, brought along my flashlight, my phone, and some spare batteries for my flashlight, and most importantly, my pocket-knife. Yeah babe, now i'm totally ready. In case some idiot rempit tries to mug me, i've got a flashlight powderful enough to temporarily disorientate him(or her) with a push of a button. If it got from bad to worse, I have my knife to at least intimidate them, but if it gets even worse, at least I have a weapon I can use.

Don't mess with the NS

The route I took was roughly 5km. Yeah, not much. But it was enough to get me sweating and it killed about 1 hour of my time lol...

All in all, it was kinda fun. Streets looked different at night, some totally unrecognisable. Reached home, went upstairs to enjoy my air-con room and here I am, typing this.

My advice to those who wants to do night jogging or riding, is to always be alert. Always hold something in your hands, preferably a flashlight(yeah, i'm crazy about lights. lol), and always have something you can use to defend yourself, be it a pepper spray, or in my case, a pocket knife. The latter is not really recommended coz instead of using it to defend yourself, you might end up giving your attacker a weapon instead, if they manage to grab it. Plus, you'd have a hard time explaining to the coppers if they pull you over.

A flashlight is a very important thing to have. It helps to properly illuminate dark streets and those hard-to-reach corners and also can be used as a self-defense tool. Don't use some silly-ol' RM10 flashlight, instead, invest in a proper flashlight. It must be small enough to be held in your hands, bright enough to light up at least 50m ahead of you, and solid enough to be used as a melee weapon when the time comes.

Road illuminated by my light

BC!

2009-06-08T02:05:00.009+08:00

Had not ridden for efing long and today I was desperate for a ride... Packed up my bag, dropped by at 99 Speed Mart to get 2 bottles of 1.5l drinking water for 90c each! Holy cibai, that is what I call CHEAP! After I got my water supply, I pedalled all the way from SS19 to Bukit Cermin which is in Putra Heights. According to my stopwatch I took 42 minutes to reach there, not including traffic light stops and petrol station stops :P

Reached there and called up my ride buddies who were already there, but, he's not picking up -.-". Climbed up the cibai mountain alone which took another 30 minutes. When I reached the top, I saw them. Apparently they were already waiting for me when I arrived there...

Damn, the trails there are totally unrecognisable since the last time I went there which was during the previous BC race, somewhere in March. Last time there were barely any jumps, now, there are doubles, 4ft drops, and even a freakin' WALLRIDE!! WTF?!

Did a short run then my friends ajak'ed me to their place in Court 8 apartments for a swim, which I gladly accepted. But wait, I'm on a bike, while they're in a car. How am I gonna go there? Kinda unfair since they have a car. Oh well, guess I'll just pull myself there :P What do I mean? Well, the video should explain everything lol...

Arrived there, parked my bike, went makan at some chinese restaurant and went back there for a swim. Hmm... I guess that pretty much sums up today....

Oh, and yeah, before I end this post, heres a pretty cool shit which I captured today lol... :P

Pretty cool eh? And no, I did not shape it. It came naturally lol...

Bored.

2009-06-07T01:51:00.002+08:00

Well, just to announce that you guys should expect less updates in these coming days as i'm pretty much bored to hell every passing day....

Its weird, during school times you'd wish it was holiday, during holiday you'd wish it was school time. Well, now I seriously want out from the holidays, unlike some of my friends who went to Australia, Pulau Pangkor, and another who went to visit some volcano somwhere. Lucky them I guess... The furthest place I went was Singapore during my Lick Hung school end trip...

Anyway, expect the next post to be pictures from the camp, collected from Ker Li. And maybe some vids from Dheepan's vidcam. ;)

Direction.

2009-06-05T21:15:00.004+08:00

There are many types of blogs around. Some blogs are purely made for ranting out their hatred, some people posts reviews about stuff on their blogs, some post about their personal life as if it was a public diary, and lots more...

Today, I had finally decided what my blog will be like, thus the title of this blog post. I started out blogging coz a friend of mine kept persuading me(you know who you are!) to start one. Seeing that exam had passed and I had too much free time, decided to start one just for the fun of it. When I started the blog, I expected it to die miserably after a day or 2 like my previous blog(yea, I used to blog), or, like Ajay's blog which died after one, measly post.

Slowly, post by post, day by day, I start to enjoy blogging. Everyday I'd write about the stuff that happened on that day. If there was nothing special on that day, I'd still think of something else to write about, like the guide on how to patch bicycle tubes.

Now, I had finally decided on the direction of this blog. The main reason of writing this blog will be to practise my English skills, which is why you see most of the blog posts have very little images, unlike most other blogs, and literally a wall of text. I'll try my best to post at least once a day, usually late at night, describing about my day, writing about reviews of items I just bought, recent gatherings I'd had, or about recent issues or events in the world today.

Another reason I started this blog is to kill time since I'm usually very free throughout the day. One blog post will usually take anywhere from an hour to five to compose, no thanks to Blogspot's super annoying bugs.

If you're too lazy to read my blog coz of the wall of text, then I don't really mind. I started this blog for the sake of writing and killing time, not to blogwhore or be like those people who are like 'Oh, I have a blog, I'm so cool~ Please come read it!' whose blog are filled with nothingness and totally random posts.

Anyway, since i'll be using my blog to practise my English writing skills, do drop me a comment or write on the chatbox if you spot any grammer mistakes and such.

Have a nice day :)

Report.

2009-06-04T19:11:00.019+08:00

Hey guys, just woke up from my super-long nap. Time to write about the awesome-ness of CAMPZILLA!!

In total there were 40-something campers and 17 committees. Guys dorm was downstairs while the girl's dorm was on the 3rd floor. Committees had the special privilege to have the girls and guys sleep in the same room.

Zhi Ying and Ker Li was the F&B dudes. If you hate the food, blame them! :P . Dheepan was the MC most of the times. Ying was the so-called security, sleeping right after the campfire lol... I was the LMC(Last Minute Committee) as I joined the committee during the very last minute and also did most of the last-minute stuff like providing the Mic and sound system, providing the boxes for the slope-sliding which was part of the obstacle course, fixing up the super-cool disco lights, setting up the Blind Man's Trail 30 minutes later than scheduled(hey, don't blame me. The rest of the committees refused to wake up!), being the music guy, playing with the echo effects, making the T-Shirts and also all the other odd-jobs.

This was also the first time i can finally put my lights and knives to full use!

Anyway, on with CampZilla!

Day 1.

Arrived there at 9pm as instructed. Chin Yi, ZY(Zhen Yau, not Zong Ying. LOL), Dexter and Ker Li was already there. Unloaded all the stuff from my mom's car and waited for a whole HOUR until someone else came.

Stoning

Min Jiet arrived at 10 to test the slope-sliding with Ker Li.

Insert Caption Here

After that the committees cleared up the committee's room and hall and got ready everything for registration. Registration started late coz Kishan, who was holding the registration list, arrived late.

The first ice-breaking game that we played was Electric Source. How to play it? Well, first we select 3 person out of the hall, then another person is chosen to do an action(waving hands, ass shaking, etc) and everybody else follows. The 3 guys then have to guess who the Electric Source is.

After that, we had Cat & Mouse. Simple game, campers divided into 2 groups, cat and mouse, when we say mouse, mouse catches the cat and vice versa. After 30 minutes of pulling, running, chasing and gangbangs, the campers are gathered at the hall to be given nicknames and splitted into groups of 7-8 each. Each camper wrote a name onto a transparent plastic card and puts it back into a box. After all is done, everyone will randomly pick a card from the box which will become their nickname throughout the camp. Sze Jin wrote 'Kick My Butt, Its FREE!', and the card that he got was 'Butt Face'! LOL!!! What goes around comes around eh? :P

Each team are then required to design a flag with their bare hands with paint on a piece of cloth. Once everybody filled up their stomachs with fried rice and super-diluted orange juice, we showed the campers a video of last year's CampZilla then it was on to the next game, Twisted.

Each team are given pieces of cardboards and newspapers. Dheepan will then tell how many hands, legs, heads, ass, mouth, boobs, etc are needed to be on the cardboard/newspaper given. All team members must be in the cardboard/newspaper and are not allowed to touch the area outside it. The teams are then randomly given a title for their sketch on the next night. Titles include Lord of The Rings and Poh Kong The Ring Maker, Shufflers vs. Ball Room Dancers, Rihanna and Chris Brown, and the committee's sketch, Power Rangers vs. Teletubbies.

Before lights out, we played Captain Ball and the winner faced the committees.

Wash Up and Lights Out. Xin Rou was damn funny sial. When the guys refused to sleep, she shouted 'If you guys don't sleep now, you won't wake up as virgins tomorrow!' Lagi duwan to sleep sial the guys! LOL!!!

Committees slept for around 45 minutes then it was time for OBH(Operasi Burung Hantu). Campers were all gathered at the dewan and are blindfolded and brought to a random location within the school compounds and were left there alone. Most of the campers fell asleep halfway lol...

Day 2

Woke up at 7am to set up the sound system for the morning aerobics and went back to sleep after that :P . While I was sleeping, they played some game that involved grabbing something while shouting campzilla repeatedly lol... Station games followed which includes taking out coins from a box full of crickets, doing helicopters(spinning round' and round' and round') then threading a needle, blow me, rolling through the basketball court under the blazing sun and lots more.

After that, we had Obstacle Course with a twist. Everything they do will be in pairs, tied together by the hand with raflia string. My roll was to torture them with water gun while they were crawling through behind the chairs at the basketball court :P . Was fun seeing them suffer. LOL!!

Please keep your hands in the passenger vehicle at all times!

At night, we had the actual sketch. The sketch was super FUNNY and HORNY, full with retardedness and obscenities, especially Brandon and Sze Jin. LOL!! The committee's sketch was super cool man! Teletubbies managed to defeat Power Rangers with their secret weapon - PORN! LOL!!!

Then, we had dance floor with speakers turned on to full blast and also I managed to improvise a disco light by mounting my light along with sze jin's light onto the ceiling fan and covering my light with a red plastic bag. Totally changed the mood sial! Man, the songs ppl dance to when they're high... Hell, they even danced to Love Story! wtf?! Kuan Peng showed off by doing backflips and stuff while Sherman danced to the music. Kishan tried to impress us by doing a handstand but failed miserably. LOL!

Jojo and Dessie came to help out to start the campfire where we talk about ghost stories and share experiences. Kishan broke down in tears when he talked about seeing his grandfather in his living room who passed away when he was a year old while Dheepan told about the Girl In Blue.

Lights Out. Me, Lu Quan, Jowen, Zhi Ying and Ying Ying sat down to watch Slumdog Millionaire on Lu Quan's laptop as we couldn't sleep. Lu Quan, Zhi Ying and Ying Ying went to sleep before the movie ended(sissies! :P). Movie ended and me and jojo went to Bistro to makan for 2 hours till 5am.

Went back to school to wake the rest of the committees at 5.15am. Turned on the lights and Kishan was sleeping on the ground, with his sleeping bag beside him, Min Jiet and Ker Li woke up immedietly and Ying hid back into her sleeping bag while Jowen tortured her, slapping her, hitting her with rubber bands and pouring water on her. LOL!

Still Wanna Sleep?

I went down to the padang and collected the raflia string to be recycled and used for the next activity - Blind Man's Trail. Laughed like fark when Wai Kynn walked straight into the metal notice board and also Sze Jin keep banging into Brandon! Had fun taking pictures with them too while they were blindfolded >:D

The next game was Shave Me where they are to shave off shaving cream off a balloon, without popping them of course.

After that it was total chaos. What I mean? Check out the photos! LOL!

Raped

They also played with shaving cream, spraying it all over, but too bad i do not have any photos of that :(

Only this :P

Yea, I know i've posted that image before, but DAMN is it PRICELESS!!

And to end it all...

LOL LU QUAN!!

Anyway, heres the group photo...

Tired OUT!

Campzilla had finally ended after 3 days and 2 nights of night ronda-ing, drinking super diluted orange juice, sleeping on cardboard boxes, towels hanging right on top of you and many other super fun activities!

Well, gonna post a full report tomorrow as I barely slept at all during the camp. Being a committee is fun, but man is it tiring...

On the first night, I slept at 2am, woke up at 3am to conduct Operasi Burung Hantu. Went back to sleep at 4am and waking up at 7am to conduct the morning aerobics...

On the 2nd night, I did not sleep at all, along with Jowen who came to help out for the campfire night...

Do check back tomorrow for a full report, gtg sleep now lol..

Choir.

2009-05-29T21:18:00.004+08:00

Had a shaky first time performance today...

No, literally. The chair which the guys were standing on were extremely flimsy. Instead of using the canteen's bench, they used the PJ bench which was less than a foot tall and made out of thin-ass wood. Under the pressure of extreme heavyweights like me, Dheepan and Lu Quan, the bench was turned from solid into semi-liquid.

Arrived school at 7am sharp searching for the rest of the choir gang. Min Jiet said they would most prolly be behind the hall. Nope, they were'nt there. Walked around the whole school and finally found them at the place I least expected - 3 Gamma, right next to the book shop. Least expected coz it was full of girls in superbright pink Baju Kurung which I thought was some dance performance group lol...

Practised a lil' then finally it was the actual performance. All went well during the actual singing but before we started, the guys fell off the chair a couple of times coz of the bloody cb chair!

After that went to McD to have the CampZilla meeting. CampZilla campers should expect the camp to be full of FUN, FUN and MORE FUN!!

Well, that pretty much sums up today... :P

Good day!

Before you start reading, just to tell you that this blog post is longer than usual. If you're the lazy type who hate to read long blog entries, you may hit Alt+F4 now. Else, read on!

Went to school expecting to ~~get screwed by Suseela~~ get my Phyiscs marks, but knnmcb, PHYISCS TEACHER ABSENT!! WTF?!?!

Well, coz of the shitty attendence today, only our Add Maths teacher actually taught today, other teachers were either absent or doing nothing, sitting at the front of the class like some super model shit.

Left the class and walked to the sub-science class in blok flora(bloody names, cb hard to remember!), chit-chat with some friends in the class. They were having Mod Maths during that time and they were having a trainee teacher. I seriously LOL'D when she thought i was her class! When she asked where was my books, i said i did not bring my books coz i thought they were gonna discuss the exam paper LOL! Shortly after that, the actual class teacher came(talk about timing!). But luckily it was to call more people to help arrange the chairs for tomorrow's Teachers Day. Seeing that I'm bored, decided to go there to ~~use up my time~~ help them.

Halfway arranging the chairs, I remembered that after Physics was English and we had not received our English Essay paper yet. Went back to the class to find teacher to get back my exam paper. When she laid eyes on me, immedietly she said 'JIN WEI! Come here', I thought I screwed up my essay and she wanna screw me back, mana tau that sentence continued with 'Wow, your essay is very good, its the best essay I've read from this class. Hell, I want you to read it to the class now!'. My mind went blank for a moment in order to process that sentence. How the hell did i get the best essay? Hell, I thought i was gonna get a B or C coz i felt that my essay was pretty messy and was a rushed job.

Well, as far as I am shocked, I was quite happy too. Totally did not expect my essay to score a whopping 45 out of 50! Pretty cool shit man! Anyway, read the story to the whole class and stuttered on some sections ~~where i couldn't read my own handwriting~~ coz of some dust in my eyes. Teacher proceeded asking me what book do i read, New Moon? She was shocked when I told her I don't read no shit books(pun intended), unless if you count Doraemon? But hey, thats in BM! I guess lurking online, browsing forums and reading reviews DOES helps your Essay writing and grammer. Now I have a pretty good reason to browse the net if my mom asks what i do in front of the pc for the whole day :P

Hell, she even requested me to type out the essay and print it on some coloured paper so that she can paste it up on the English Society board!(Uhm... Since when do we even have an English Society?)

Anyway, heres the essay that i wrote. If you see any mistakes, please drop me a comment as I have to get this done with purrrr-fect English after the holidays.

Write a story beginning with:
"The lights went out suddenly......................"

The lights went out suddenly as the fuel tank for the backup generators went dry. Now I am in this small hut without electricity, nothing to generate heat to warm up the hut. The temperature outside is at least -98c now and the temperature inside had already dropped from 10c to -5c in less than 10 minutes. At this rate, I will freeze to death in this puny hut I call a Safehouse by tomorrow if i did not do anything about it.

Few weeks ago, the world entered into a state of chaos when the World Government announced that we would be entering the Second Ice Age. Temperatures dropped from 20c to the freezing point of water in a matter of days, and had continued to drop ever since. After the announcement was made, people rushed into sores, getting prepared for the worst. Petrol stations went dry as everyone stocked up on reserves, but luckily, I managed to grab the last 50 litres, which was used to power the generator in the safehouse.

The Space Age had finally came to a standstill, and now entering the Ice Age. We are forced to live like cavemen as power stations shut down because of the extreme temperatures. Communications to the world had been cut off. I only had a mini radio which was powered by a hand-crank to update me on the outside world.

Back to the present, I knew my chance of survival would be zero if i did not find a way to make a fire. Heck, even my food supply was running low. I knew what I had to do. I left the comfort and safety of my safehouse with a sled, searching for food and firewood to heat up the small safehouse, and hopefully, generate some electricity with old-school steam. Finally after walking for an hour, I managed to find a suitable tree to be used as firewood. I took out an axe and started chopping the tree, being careful not to make too much sound so as to not attract attention.

While chopping the tree, I noticed some weird sounds coming from the bushes around me. It sounded like silent footsteps on snow, and I had a feeling that someone, or at least, something, is watching me. I got my shotgun in one hand and my axe in the other, just in case. Sure enough, there was a pack of wolves surrounding me. One of the wolves leapt towards me, I quickly took aim and took it down. Almost instantly, the whole pack was charging at me. Wolves are well known to work in packs, ambushing their prey, working together and doing whatever it takes to take it's prey down.

I knew I was in big trouble. Immedietly, I fired my shotgun and had managed to take down all but one of the wolves. Without hesitation, I took aim and squeezed the trigger hard. "OH SHIT!", I said to myself, as absolutely NOTHING happened after i squeezed the trigger. No loud bang, nothing. I had run out of bullets in the worst possible situtation. The next thing i know, the wolf was already on top of me, pinning me onto the ground, breathing right on my face. It tried to bite my neck, but thanks to my quick reflexes, I managed to block it with the barrel of my shotgun. Seeing an opportunity, I quickly reached for the switchblade in my pocket and stabbed it in the neck before it managed to do anything to me.

I pushed the wolf aside and stood up, checking my body for injuries. I let out a sigh of relief as all I got was some cuts and bruises. How nice, I thought. Not only did I manage to find my firewood, but I also found about a month's worth of food supply. I chopped the remaining wood and loaded up everything onto my sled and started the long journey back.

I arrived home and immedietly started up the fire to warm up the hut. Its ironic really, just 50 years ago, the Earth was facing global warming. Now, it had entered the second Ice Age.

If the plot sounds familiar to you, then yea, its very loosely based on the movie "The Day After Tomorrow".

Hope you enjoy reading my essay :P

Pancit?

Ever have your tyres blow? Don't wanna lug your bike to the bike shop which is a 1 hour walk away? Feel like patching it up yourself?

Well, yesterday my tyre blew, so i took the chance to make a simple and easy to understand guide about how to patch a punctured tyre with common household items. Okay, maybe the tape ain't a common household item, but don't tell me your house don't have any nail clippers!

Anyway, lets start with the basics.

What you would need:

1. Tyre Levers OR 2x Nail Clippers
2. Heavy-Duty Double Sided Foam Tape
3. Electrical Tape
4. Super Glue - Optional
5. Spannar - Optional

Yeap, thats all you need to patch up your busted tube!

Tyre levers are something that are made with a curved end, with the purpose of hooking the tyre bead, allowing you to pry open the tyre easily. It usually costs around RM10-20, and are usually made out of either some kinda plastic composite or a metal, either steel or aluminum, with the latter being the better choice. We'll get back to that later.

A set of tyre levers

Alternatively, you could also use 2x nail clippers with a curved end.

Nailclippers

First step is to remove the wheel. If your bike is using v-brakes, undo that first by squeezing both the caliper together, then undo the brake noodle from the noodle holder(as shown in the diagram)

After you've done that, its time to remove the wheel. Usually newer bikes are equipped with a quick release lever, if yours have it, undo the lever and loosen it a little. If your bike is using a nut to hold the wheel, loosen it with a proper sized spannar or an adjustable wrench.

After you've removed the wheel, use the 2 tyre levers and insert it into the tyre by the side and try to get hold of the bead of the tyre. Pull the levers to the side and the tyre should pop to the side.

Using one of the tyre levers, slide the lever around the wheel to get one side of the tyre off the rim.

Now, remove the inner tube carefully, valve first.

Visually inspect for any thorns, nails, staplers, tree trunks, etc, which might be present on the tyre. If you've found none, remove the tyre and manually use your hand to slide through the inside of the tyre to feel for something sharp.

Try to find the hole on the tube by pumping air into it while listening for the sound of air escaping. If the hole is too small, you could use a bucket of water to search for the hole.

Wipe the part that is going to be patch clean with a damp cloth. If possible, roughen the surrounding area up with sandpaper(if you have). Cut a piece from the double sided foam tape and stick it onto the tube. Some type of tape do not work as i've found out, some are actually porous and allows air to pass through. You can dab a drop of Superglue on the hole before applying the tape just for that extra assurance.

Press on the tape HARD to make sure that it sticks nicely and evenly. Remove the tape once its done, remove the protective layer on the other side of the tape and repeat. Remove the tape again. Cut another piece of tape and repeat the procedure on one side of the tape. This is to make sure that no debris are left on the tube and allows maximum bonding strength between the tyre and the tape.

Remove the tape and remove the protective layer on the other side. Apply the tape and press it HARD as this will be the actual tape that sticks on the tube. After that, apply the electrical tape on top of the double sided tape, covering it completely to avoid the tube sticking to the tyre.

Pump the tyre up just enough for it to hold its shape, and listen for any leaks on the patch.

If all is good, insert the tube back into the tyre and using both hand simultaneously, re-seat the bead onto the rim. Once you've reached the top, using your hand, pull the tyre with force to the opposite side to get the tyre to sit into the rim. If its too tight, you could use the tyre lever or the nailclippers, but be careful not to make another hole into the tube which you've just patched!

Pump the tyre HARD, around 40-45 psi, just to make sure. If your pump does not have a pressure gauge, pump the tyre up hard enough until you can barely press the tyre in. Pray hard that the patch works.

Now its time to install the tyre onto the bike. Most bikes now have gears and most people do not know how to re-insert the tyre back properly once they've taken it out.

When your bike is upside down, look at the chain properly. you'd wanna insert the tyre with the cassette(the gears thingy) in between the chain.

Like so...

Align the wheel and drop the wheel into the dropouts(the slots where the axle goes into). Tighten the quick release levers back on or retighten the nuts if you're using a nutted axe.

Reinstall the brakes and you're good to go!

Finally, give yourself a pat in the back that you've patched your first tube. :D

DO NOT immedietly ride your bike. Leave it there for at least a few hours as I've found out the patch may fail after a few hours which is why I usually do this at night before i sleep.

Good luck patchin'!

WOOHOOOO!!!!

Flashaholics Gathering

2009-05-24T02:57:00.009+08:00

No, not flashaholics as in crazy freaks who flash their tiny tool trying to act big, but flashaholics as in people who have an unusual fascination for big, small, bright, expensive flashlights. Call it crazy, call it weird, but hell, i'm one of them.

I got myslef into the whole flashaholics craze when i bought my first powered china light for rm90. Well, being a cheaply made china light, naturally, it broke lol...

Then i decided to get myself a proper powered light which costed me rm160(and also getting screwed by my mom when she found out).

It was an EagleTac P100A2. What made this light worth it? Well, it runs on regular AA and is SO DAMN FREAKIN BRIGHT!

Don't believe me? Check out this super cool beamshot.

Its so bright, it could be used as a self defense weapon! Temporarily blind ur attacker, then using the light to melee the poor guy to death, or just take the easy way out and RUN!

My light is consider nothing compared to the lights that was at the gathering.

Back to the gathering.

Left for the gathering at 830pm, reached Centrepoint at 9pm, just in time.

6k worth of lights anybody?

Its amazing how much lights costs these days. The hugeass red one you see in the back there alone already set you back 2.6k, and thats just the lights alone. It uses 4 pieces of 18650 Lithium-ion batteries(those are the same type used in ur phone, mind you!) which will set you back at rm45 per piece and an extra RM70 for the charger.

But DAMN is it BRIGHT!!!

Check this out man, super cool shit, literally a wall of light. These lights are those type of lights that will make a robber pee in his pants when you shine this at him.

Walkway To Heaven

And no, that shot ain't overexposed at all, it REALLY IS THAT BRIGHT!!

If you think only huge lights can produce, lets talk about small lights. REAL small lights.

Introducing the Lummi Wee. It is so small, it can be used as a necklace.

Don't underestimate this small little bugger. Though it may be small, but its bright enough to temporarily blind you!

Sitting down at the mamak and looking at the lights was freakin boring, after an hour or 2, we decided to head down to a lake in Kelana Jaya to test out the powderfulness of the lights.

The lake was at least 200m wide, perfect place for us to test out the throw of the lights. Throw means the ability of the light to reach a far away distance. Managed to get a few cool beamshots there.

Battery powered lights ROCK!

Played with the lights at the lake for nearly an hour, most of us was feeling hungry. Before we end the session, we went for another round of mamak to fill our stomachs, at 1am in the morning.

Well, it was a pretty nice experience. Got to hold in my hand and experience first hand a rm2.6k light and also get to learn to not judge a book by its cover, in the case of the Lummi Wee.

Looking forward to the next gathering!

Powerball anybody?

The Legend Is Back!

2009-05-22T16:12:00.000+08:00

Some of you may have forgotten him, some of you might still remember him as the dude who quit rapping. Hell, some of you might not know him at all....

But finally, after 4 years of solitare after his previous album, Encore, the Legend of Rap finally returns with a brand new album - Relapse.

Em just returned from Rehab over a sleeping pill addiction after his good friend, Proof, got killed in a club brawl. It had been pretty tough for him for these past few years trying to return to his old self. But finally, he had returned to the limelight, with a brand new album and a totally new tempo.

The new album is more upbeat, and have a dark feeling to it. All but one of the songs was produced by Dr. Dre. This was so that Em could focus more time on the lyrics writing and choose a beat by Dre after he's done with the lyrics.

Lyrics are as brilliant and original as ever, as expected from the Legend. The album starts out with a short intro about Em being discharged from the Rehab, with his alter ego talking him back into drugs, only to wake up to find out it was just a dream. The intro gave the listeners a rough idea of what's next throughout the whole album, filled with darkness, hate, truth, and about his personal life.

Songs like 3am is just pure creepy, "I bite and I slash, slice and gash " should give you a rough idea what it is about. He even made a song about his mom, talking about her drug addictions, which also caused him to get addicted, "My mom loved valium and lots of drugs And that's why I am like I am cause I'm like her ". It also talked about his mom's abuse when he was a kid, "Put your face in it before I throw you in the basement again".

He even touched upon his childhood molestation in the song Insane, "till one night he snuck in and said, "we're going out back- I want my dick sucked in the shed"". We made you was what they call a 'Hiatus Bash' used in comedy television in which returning artist would bash about stuff that happened during his inactivity, "Did you Miss me? Jessica Simpson sing the chorus ". Full of cameos, the song(especially the video) is really hillarious - that is if you can even hear a word he say.

Beautiful was what most fans are waiting for. A song talking about Em's life, "so why dont you all sit downn listen to the tale that im about to tell " and also about him trying to refrain from drugs, "its like all eyes on me i try to avoid any eye contact cuz if i do that then it opens the door for conversations like i want that ". The song ends, telling the listeners to be strong, to be who you are, "god gave you shoes to fit you, so put em on and wear them, be yourself man, be proud of who you are ". Sounds familiar? The song is exactly what the title said - simply Beautiful

If you buy the album online, it'll come with 2 bonus tracks - Careful What You Wish For and My Darling.

Verdict - The album is nice, pretty dark, some songs are scary, some are weird, some are nice, but overall its more of a case of like it or hate it. It ain't as good as his previous albums, but still better than most other Rap albums today.

Screwed by Suseela

2009-05-21T14:15:00.000+08:00

Well, not yet, but i'm certainly gonna get screwed pretty soon....

Hell, even Ee Sern was sleeping.

Anyway, i managed to complete the paper in less than 30 mins, including this...
