3 months left on my contract...

It hit my head today in the middle of the Merdeka Parade show that, dang! I've only got 3 months left till I officially leave this skool. The school that gave me my first stage appearance, the one that punished me for being too radical on the net, the one that gave me lessons on life and management, the one that gave me my first heartbreak, the one that taught me about more than wut I asked for, and being grateful for that all.

Let me tell you my story...

When I first came into this school, i never liked it. My primary school friends all were going to CHS in 1 week's time. I never felt like staying. NO matter wut ppl say, I juz feel like getting my ass off this place ASAP. But then that time I was watching a lot of TV, so I said to myself:"ok lah, give this school 3 months, if cannot den transfer lah." As I really wanted to go to CHS to get back with my friends, as soon as the 3 month period I gave myself ended, I asked my mom to get the transfer form and transfer me to some other place. It's not that I hated this place, but I juz never felt that I belonged there. So my mom got the form. We even went all the way filling up the form and to submit it. I still remembered my mom asking En. Tanavalu (then PK HEM) wut to write as 'sebab menukar'. He suggested that no transport or siblings studyin there.My mom knew a friend who had a friend that works as a teacher at CHS. So i tot that my chances had juz multiplied.

One month went, 3 month went, 6 month went... And there was never a reply from them...

I still remember talking to a teacher about changing skool. She talked about how she wouldn't understand why ppl wanna change school as this was a new school and we should give it a chance... That was around October coz it was around the end of the year... And that was 2003.

Form 2, totally forgotten about the transfer thing, I started my journey. I got selected into the drama team for god-knows-why-I-also-duno. Seriously, I wasn't known. I still remember goin around the school wit Jon to ask who they know. Of coz that cute little babyface got more ppl that knew him la... *hahaha sry Jon for usin that, juz felt like usin it*

Den around the end of the year I happened to help one of the teacher to manage the inventory of the school. I think this is what propelled me to what ppl see me around the year of 2005-2006.

Form 3, PMR year. Really helped a lot in the inventory department, hahaha coz kids ma, do everything also very energetic. Den got crazy at some point and landed myself into trouble. Was busy the period preparing for PMR. Nothing much happened. 2005 flew past...

Then form 4, the year where the spotlight really came. I can't really said that I got the spotlight la, coz the competition was hard! It first started with me joining the Malaysia Unity Cadet (PKBM, Army Cadet la something like that, hahaha the name sounds weird in English). I learnt a lot from my senior as I was directly under him to be trained as the Platoon leader. Of coz our team dominated as there was never once before someone that knew about marching appeared in our school. He also taught me a lot of stuff, like how to handle a team of ppl, how to command ppl and a lot more la can't think of it right now he taught me tons of stuff...

IN the middle of my training under my senior, I was picked to be the Prefect, mainly coz of my involvement in the inventory department. Within 2 weeks after I started my probation, I was given an official task to monitor some stuff in the prefects board (hehe, geng leh...). Den within a week or so after I was elected to be a Prefect, I was promoted to be the Discipline Exco, which is i think coz of my involvement in the cadets. However like always, I was never disciplined. I also dunno why they picked me for the job. Weird stuff goin on there...

Now form 5 liao. Prefects workload increase liao. Hahaha and it wasn't quite related to discipline! My focuz was to continue the work of my senior to push the cadets to another height. I believe I wasn't quite successful as I didn't quite achieved wat i wanted - another platoon leader. Training the cadets to win wasn't that hard, but passing on the knowledge that someone passed to you wasn't that easy. It wasn't easy trying to teach someone to lead... Winning wasn't that hard, coz the knowledge to march is there. But to create another leader is an uphill task. Candidates wasn't that much. Well, as long as the commands get through den can liao la...

When i first came into form 1, I was still pretty much a pervert. Yea we start perverting around in primary school already. Hahaha kids these days... So then I liked a girl. Coz of my pervert-ness, I never got to know her in a good way... She kinda hated me I think.

In Form 2, I still liked her. It wasn't quite sure how I got my brains to function properly but according to sources, I was quite a different person in form 2. I started to think about the effects of my actions and what ppl think. And of coz i regretted my behavior in form 1 la... She still never got to like me in a friend me. I think it's coz i still talk about the restricted stuff in form 2... Haiz...

Den in Form 3, I still liked her. It was getting better liao coz she got to know me more as a friend. But we were still a one line friend. But at least she talks to me!

In form 4, we really started talking. I dunno la maybe she thought that we're form 4 liao so can be matured friends liao or wut la... Too bad she changed school in the middle fo the year, to the school that i wanted to transfer to in Form 1... For the rest of Form 4 I was pretty much in kap-lui mode la... Look here, see there... Coz really la, our skool is low on resources (until now also la...)

Den in form 5, my real roller coaster began. I happened to like another girl, which happens to be very much younger than me (ok this part of the post might get deleted later, juz tellin laa....). So like with 5 years of theory inventions and discussion in hand, I attacked. It was a hard task la... But after around 1 month or so dapat la (i noe a big part of this was probably faked by her but... haiz nvm laaaa...). This first one didn't last long, around 2 week lo.... Den Around 1 month later we happened to get back together (i'll talk about this in the future, ok?). That one lasted around 3 weeks. Den around 1 month later we got back again. That one got pass my b'day, which was my sweetest b'day to date (i know that the future one would get better). Aduh, ppl first time b'day got ppl teman ma... Throughout this few months (cantum cantum laa...) the thing was full of quarrels and stuff (which was very much unnecessary if she was a lil that matured). Den we broke up after around 2 months. The main factor was very much wut that kept this whole thing fiery. The ignorance that she exhibit... Maybe she wasn't the girl la...

So now? I'm 2 months away from SPM and 2 days away from the trials. These all was what I went through throughout the past 5 years in this school. It was truly my bank of memories, which i believe part of it will disappear, and part of it will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Maybe I was really too kind-hearted... And ppl abused it... <--- According to some article la...

P/S: This post was not intended as a show off, as I tried very hard not to use proud words. This is truly a post to share my side of the story...

P/S 2: Maybe goin to make a second post about the bits and pieces of the past 5 years... See got inspiration or not la...

Now the Merdeka Post

Today's the eve of our beloved country's 50th independence day. Many issues have been raised prior to today and tml. Among others the freedom of speech is being tested, and failed miserably. We also see how active our governing body has become, as the GE is approaching. Drivers along the KL strip would also be furious as the roads around Dataran Merdeka has been closed for rehearsals. What else can we ask for?

I'm a typical guy, so here comes a post with a typical content. What do I wish for the good of Malaysia in conjunction of it's 50th Independence day?

1) Malaysians! Stand up and speak up! This is a democratic country! We shouldn't be the one being bullied by the officials! C'mon, everyone knows that building a house needs some kind of document...

2) Malaysians! Fight for your right to speak up! The government needs to listen to us. Don't let them stop us from voicing out! They are trying to silent all critics! It's our country! It's out right to speak up!

3) Malaysians! Make more racial jokes! Please? We're taking this race thing too seriously! C'mon, even my fellow friends approve of the magical video that had caused a stir. Are the big guys trying to do something coz the GE is here, again? If yes then please, banish any elections so that we can live peacefully.

4) Malaysians! Stop giving kopi'o 's! This is the reason why we can't prosper!

5) The football team! Please, do something!! Don't you feel ashamed? I believe our football history is so much older than the chinese team's, yet we get beaten by them like carrots.

6) The ruling body! Please give bloggers more freedom! Us Malaysians are matured enough to filter what is good and what is bad on the internet!

7) The censorship board! Please stop banning movies! We noe wut's a good movie and wut's a bad movie! If the movie contains explicit materials, rate it 18-PL la... Why ban it or censor it? We paid the tickets for the movie!!! Not somebody to say some thing den in the middle suddenly slient/bleep! Not somebody doin something den suddenly jump to another scene!!! We're grown up enough! If the censorship board censors any film again I'm gonna **** them for accusing us for being immature and not able to think for ourselves. They are underestimating our mental maturity! We wanna watch an Oscar-winning cowboy movie!

Hey if you think that my post is explicit, it's coz i wrote it out of boredom. Don't sue me, saya takda duit...

Happy Merdeka Malaysia.

Merdeka Eve

Wut's your plan for merdeka countdown?

So since today we didn't stayback today (coz apparently aunty ain't fetching despite us PAYING) we went back home. Mom didn't prepare my lunch, so went out for lunch wit y lup. We talked about where to go tonight and we've narrowed down some choices:

1)Go to BK and watch the fireworks there. (coz maybe the last year in BK liao, not coming back here anymore...)
2)Go to meenas and celebrate it wit mamaks. (near and the atmosphere might be ok)
3)Stay at home and like jon said, mass convo and watch youtube vids of fireworks while countdown PM style.

Ok let's look at the halangan we have:

1) BK very mah fan coz far and at night no bus liao...
2) Mamak dunno anybody there...
3) Stay at home meh? Form 5 where got ppl stay at home and celebrate merdeka one?

Any suggestions?

================

Haiz... I'm done investing my emotions already. Seriously I'm very bored. Bored by your ignorance, bored by your naive-ness, bored by wut you claim 'who-you-are'. I'm officially DONE.

=============

Hrmm... If any of you bastards spill of the revival of my blog to the shit-brained school teachers, i curse you to have no girl/boyfriend for the rest of your lives, resulting in you having no wife and no free sex for life. Pay for AIDS-prone sex if you're gonna screw my life once again.

And I do mean it...

This is gonna be long too, Chloe...

Ok let's start off wit saturday.

Since that day was my mom's birthday, my mom wanted to have something special. Something as seen on TV. On our way back to hometown (technically not mine, coz my home is in Puchong) we stopped at Loong Sing Seafood Restaurant for dinner.

The first thing I saw when we entered the restaurant was this guy i dunno whetehr you guys have seen him b4 or not but well, WTH juz lok a the picture.

Picture used without permission from some kind of news webbie...

Yeap, 阿鸿 lo... He was there doin some kind of promotion/party dinner invited by Diamond Water Filter thingy. Was funny the way he described how Diamond water filter helped him.... BTW he wasn't posing like that when i saw him.

So like we're eating in a separate section so can't really see him la... We had Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! The cheap version of coz...





Hmmm... Let's see... There's a thin slice of abalone (rubbery texture), some fish belly, some dried scallop, a little bit of shark's fin (the texture is like very fine beehoon), bits and pieces of chinese smoked pork(金华火腿)and some weird species of mushroom. (Have i done a good job of degrading this dish?) Anyway my mom used to say that this dish is not worth the price coz the ingredients are actually very cheap to obtain (apparently she has a friend that is into the fishing business). Hrmm...

So like the soup was nice. Has this sweet flavour that i think comes from the scallop and mushroom and smoked pork. Was nice la... We ordered some other dishes to eat wit rice ma... Overall the dishes were quite normal only la... My dad asked the waiter to 'introduce' some dishes. After eating he was convinced that whenever a waiter 'introduces' a dish, it's gonna be ready-made hard-to-sell dishes that they-wanna-clear-off-quick.

============

Today was very... Dunno how to describe la... Day started off wit everyone worrying wat to do if our english teacher asks about our EST exercise. We ended up doin literature... When i tot we were saved, she said 'I want your EST books by tml ah!'. Shiat...

Today physics was canceled coz our physics teacher wasn't feelin well. So we tot we can go back at 1.50 lo. Mana tau our teacher wants to come in. But until 1.50 also not yet come in so we juz left lo. While we were out of the skool already and talkin about wut to order, someone signalled us that he has entered our class... Sheesh we ran our asses off back to class and thank god he was quite subdued... Juz took the names pf those that weren't in class at that moment and asked us to finish off the essay he asked us to do.

And Jon if ya readin this, juz start wiki-ing about stuff to get yer head off that thing, k? Here's some fun stuff to look at: Wiki Deleted Articles (okay it juz got deleted but try another day), Desktop Defender (sounds gay but addictive, serious!), wiki for ants, wiki for termites... Hahaha i noe that you won't be clickin at any of those but wutever la...

============
OK so this post ain't that long afterall...

I WANT THAT W810i so badly!!! MUZ SCORE FOR SPM!!!

1+ week till trials...

Today I'll keep it short.

Damn it I hate that stupid "High School Musical My School Rocks' ad. It airs every single time a programme goes into commercial break. And I'm sure the 3 actors in the ad sure think the same way I do: "wtf am i talking like a retard? Wat's this intonation i'm usin? WTH is this ad about getting hundreads of teams to dance to the same tune?" Gosh...

And HSM2 is gonna premiere somewhere around september. Don't they know that HSM2 is already available for download over the net already? And i've read the synopsis... It sound... Childish... A girl seduces a guy that has a gf already juz to make him fail? And that guy lets go off his current gf for something-i-forgot? Sheesh...

Ah god damned it i've been dreaming about getting my hands on a possible W810i. Seriously sometimes i was even shocked to be holding the 6630. "Ou, i haven't bought it yet..."

So like the dude with 37 charges on him that i think has something to do wit building a mansion without a permit was dropped of all the charges. Fishy... Can i build a mansion without a permit then?

OK OK I ponteng-ed bio tuition today, k? But it's coz he's so boring!!! Arghh....

Note to self: SPM liao SPM liao SPM liao SPM liao...

Never felt like this in a week!

I WOKE UP EARLY TODAY! Well it's not self initiated though... Had to go for tuition at 9... Guess today will be a 16 hour day (woke up at 8, maybe sleeping at 12, so 15 hours... Wow...).

Went for tuition on an empty stomach. Aww... Should've drank a cup of milo first... Went around looking for buns during the 15 minute interval...

So like after i came back home, had lunch and did SPM 2004 (hey i'm makin progress already!) paper 1. Damn why i never learn from mistakes ar? This time got a bit worse lo...

Got bored den i cleaned by skool bag. Found the paper wit the instruction for Add Maths project. So since add maths was still floating in my brain, i gave it a try. It's a progression thing that involves a lot of repeated calculation. So like i tried a bit den realized that it's all connected. So like... Hehe i'll leave the rest of it for tml...

===========

Hrmm... I dunno why but i always have this feeling that someone or somebody is lying to me. It's like, i dunno, i feel that things ppl say are so fake or so not-from-the-heart or there's something else behind it. It's like, anyone or anybody might just abuse the trust you have for them and do something bad behind you, or say something bad behind you... Is this the feeling you call 'insecure'? Maybe... Coz i always feel that there's someone somewhere that is taking my trust for them for granted and is tellin lies... Maybe... It's juz maybe...

Heck, a lot of shyt had came out whenever i have this suspicious feeling towards the world... Hrmm... Can't the world just be more, sincere and appreciative and more honest?

============

Just watched Dr. Strangelove: How i learned to stop worrying and start loving the bomb. It's a 1964 film about the cold war. It's in black and white but i was surprised by the amount of detail the camera caught. Just got confused by the weather coz sometimes daytime scenes look like night time... Anyway it's one of the films that got a 100% rating Certified Fresh from Rottten Tomato.com. They say it's a comedy so i got it and watched it. Maybe it was too old or something, but i didn't quite get a lot of laughs from this film.

After watching the film, i (as usual) went to Wiki and read about it. Den only i realised that there's so much to the whole film that i didn't get. Much like the maksud tersirat in the malay literature we study in skool. I mean, heck, people in the older days do know how to make an intellectual comedy, too intellectual for me la perhaps... Heck some of the jokes involve spanish (supposedly there's a place's name that means 'the whor*')!

K watever la this post is going into home plate already la... 3rd base now... Adios!

P/S: I wish baseball was more widely played in M'sia... Go Yankees!

4 days till skool reopens...

Let's see... It's only 4 days left till skool reopens. And the week after that is the trials... SPM trials man... Life deciding one...

So wut have i accomplished during the holidays? I went for the road law course (hahaha pendidikan pemandu...), i did SPM add maths 2003, went for tuition, and re-started a blog. Not bad eh? Sheesh why can't i juz concentrate? Reasons Excuses i give myself for not studyin a specific subject:

BM - Can do one lah during that time... Karangan juz goreng la...
BI - Can do one lah during that time... Essay juz goreng la...
Maths - Can do one lah... Modern maths only ma...
Sej - Boring la... Summore read before already one...
PI - Aiyo memorise nilai only ma... Can do the next day la...
EST - Can do one lah... Juz goreng only la...
Physics - Can do one lah... Juz write wut you noe and punch the correct number la...
Bio - Can do one lah... The stuff juz bantai la...
Chemistry - Can do one la... Got tuition liao improve liao, can one la...

The only subject i'm determined to do is add maths... Never went pass that 40% point leh...

The thing that makes me wanna study is that, this is my life man! And summore i've never got straight A in internal exams also... Means not that good yet la... Why not put some effort?

Maybe i'll start off with doin some revision on Bio and Sej (was thinking "ya loh, why didn't study these 2 subject ah?" while typing the list). Tml la...

*damn i'm running out of ideas already....*

Wednesday, August 22, 2007

This is not fun...

I'm getting bored over reporting how late i get up and stare at the TV. Sheesh everyday the same thing only... Sien ar...

So like after my 'daily routines', i got to my room and did paper 2 of the add maths 2003. Arghh same mistakes!!! This time i squared only half of the fraction!! (eg (3/2)^2 i put as (9/2), WTF...) Getting fed up wit stupid mistakes ar... Den there're some questions that i dun even noe wut to do wit it... Den possibility also big problem... Permutation also headache... Haiz...

Den got down and stuck to the TV again... Today i though of being a little bit creative and made myself a nice iced milo. I can certify here that milo without sugar is not milo!!! Sat at my sofa and watched TV. Feels nice sipping on a cup of iced milo watching TV. Haha this is wat my dad use to do every night, dunking crackers into a cup of hot milo kosong... I think i might do this everytime my mom's not at home... Hehe...

Den 4.30 went down for tuition again... 6.30 came back up...

Rapping up my day has something to do wit my routine of watching TV. I dunno why but Astro channels have this tendency to flicker every now and then. I noe i noe Astro CS's will say to you that 'try going to menu and go to satelite signal and click ok to download' bla bla... FYI i knew about this method wayyyyy before Astro started teaching viewers this method in ANY form (aka magazine or ads). I think it was into the 3rd day of getting Astro into our house, i was exploring the system ma...

K so like yea, USELESS METHOD!!! It does help if there're new channels or the decoder cannot get the channel (the signal method works but it's easier to go to another channel and come back, works too). And whenever there's this 'Service currently not available', it should be raining or cloudy, right? WRONG! This flicker thing and the black screen happen to me even when the Sun is shining brightly, ants might even get fried under it... Damn it Astro sent the MEASAT-3 up few months ago, right? The signals seem to get even worse after it went up leh... And they even wanna increase the rates...

It's so irritating you noe...

Do you consider this a breakthrough?

Woke up at 10.30. Weird that today got no 'good morning' msg from sumbody... Had breakfast (aduh hotcup tomyam again... Bad for health man....). Den watched some TV. Got bored of TV. Dragged myself to the room and got pumped up to do some add maths. I took out the collection book of past year questions and prepared myself like i was going for an exam (calculator, formula sheet, papers). I flipped the page to the 2003 question and started the stop watch (prepare to speed up ma...) and sat there like a good kid doing his revision. Damn it sat there with my head down for 1 hour straight doin add maths... I had that Sunny Yeap book beside me juz in case i needed it, and i can tell y'all that i didn't use it at all! Woohoo! Of coz it's coz i was too lazy la to flip and look for references la...

So i was quite confident coz i can answer most of the questions. Den i checked my answers and yup, those that i expected to be wrong were wrong while those that i was confident in doing were correct. Yes i know how to log this time! No more blank log questions! Overall got 50/80 (woohoo!) for paper 1. Hrmm... Damn it my mistakes were all minor ones. Like negative on the left hand side forgot to change it to positive on the other side, fraction claculation mistakes, positive and negative sums and forgot to refer to the formula sheet. Was too lazy(tired la...) to attempt paper 2 and i'll leave it for tml la...

Den got downstairs to watch TV again... Hrmm since when my pastime was TV? Around 6.30 went down to Phase 1 for dinner coz afterward got tuition. Had tosai telur bawang planta (the one y lup used to order) and dang! The one wit planta tastes nicer! But of coz Kweens can never make better tosai than Meenas. Hehe... After tuition went to the festival area beside it coz got Hungry Ghost Festival thing over there. Had Sanjay and Y Lup to make wishes there. For SPM man! Really hope for the best for SPM this year. Dun wanna disappoint mum and dad... Eh really la...

So then the frog went back to his coconut shell... Hrmm one thing hor... Katak bawah tempurung means sumbody who doesn't care/know about the outside world ma... But now the katak has internet within his tempurung! He still gets to know about the outside world! Modern katak bawah tempurung ma... Ok this is kinda lame i noe... Nothing to do la...

Quote of the day: "teacher 3 student 0!!!" "wat you already started? I was just warming up..." *cheers*

Delete... Lag... Delete... Lag...

So like, yea... I ranted about how sluggish the 6630 was. It really was. Ask y lup la... Out of desperation to overcome ppl asking me 'hey why so long also not yet reply' or miss calling me juz to get me to read the msgs, i took y lup's advice to clean my inbox.

If i'm not mistaken, my previous(you'll noe why i call it previous) inbox had 2600+ msgs. And coz i can't juz 'clean' it coz i wanna retain some memory, i chose to delete selectively. The thing is this: I've tried to delete msgs in bulk in the past, but it juz took me so long i thought my phone crashed. That's why i never delete my msgs... Now i dun have the choice. So i went to the 'first' msg right at the bottom of the inbox (juz click up will bring you to the end of the inbox) and started marking all the old msgs. Good thing smartphones have this pencil thingy that allows you to hold it and it'll mark a few stuff you you at one time. Kind of like the mouse selecting multiple stuff, juz that yer using the keyboard this time. So when i finished selecting the msgs that i dun want, i click that 'c' thing to delete it. It was ok at first, until i checked back around 20 minutes later to find out that it got stuck at "29 msgs out of *forgot liao* deleted". God damned it...

So i had to click cancel (msgs that were deleted will remain deleted, while those undeleted will remain undeleted) and do all over again. And this time i selected around 50 msgs to delete. It juz won't move this time. I canceled and moved the cursor (the selection box or wutever you call it lah) around the menu. It's obvious that the processor is reorganizing itself as the cursor will get stuck at one icon, den delay it's motion for some time, den move to the next, then delay again and so on... Den after around 2 minutes (might be exaggerated) it resumed normal and the cursor is happily jumping around the menu. So i tried again, this time counting in my heart around 30. And it deleted it real fast. So i though maybe it got cleared up a bit, and selected another 20. This time it couldn't move, juz like the first time i did it. So i did wut i did with the first time (the move around the menu thingy) and selected around 50. It deleted real fast. But then i'll have to do that boring same thing again. So imagine this: deleting only around 40 msgs every 2 minutes while you have around 2600 msgs to delete. God damned it i deleted msgs non stop for 30 minutes and i only got to 1800 left. This is some fcked up shyt.

So like i gave up when i was around 1500 msgs left. And the change was significant (it might not be to you, y lup), this time it only took me to count to 5 until the selected msg will be opened. A great improvement from 10 secs previously. And it finally notifies me when there's a msg! A nibble from it at last!

So like, do i still need to buy a new phone? Let's make it yes so that i can fantasise buying a new phone...

==========

Hrmm... My day was kinda simple. Stuck to the TV almost the whole day. Did 2 questions (again) on add maths about motion along a straight line (simple ones) and stared at the TV again. Damn Anthony Bourdain's No Reservation was having a 'bloopers' or 'deleted scenes' episode named 'Leftovers'. He gave comments on the scenes of certain events. Like the one he went to Vietnam and met Mr Sang and he said how weird it was and they ran back to the resort after the shoot.

Oh boy... I wanna study leh... I want to... But i'm still updating my blog... Heck...

My F*CKIN sluggish 6630...

[*sry can't put pic of it here coz it can't really take a pic of it's own, right?*]

I got this phone when I finished taking my PMR. My parents agreed to award me Rm2000 if i get straight A's in my PMR. After the exam I was kind of not confident whether what will come out. Den few days later my mom brought me to IOI Mall. She brought me to the cell phone shop to look around. Den she asked me which one i wanted (coz i've been making noise about getting a new phone for quite some time already). I asked why. She said whether i'm confident wit myself or not. She said if i wanted to buy the phone now it's ok, but i'll have to settle the balance in case my result was not good enough to pay for the phone. With a new phone in mind (and also my personal bank at stake) I said 'why not?'. So i picked the 6630 coz at that time (october 2005) it was said to be the most stable phone with the highest stability. It was priced at Rm1400.

Within a few months it dropped to Rm900 and stabilized at Rm800+. NVM the price drop. As long as i'm happy wit it it's good la. With add ons like a maroon cover to preserve the original casing (it's worth Rm150 at least!) and 2 memory cards (once a 256 and now a 1GB), I fell in love wit it. I filled it with my favorite tracks and listened to it very frequently. I also picked up a new interest - photography as i started to get used to the built-in 1.3 mpx camera. I snapped thousands of pics over the past 2 years. Messaging with it was also a breeze and within a few months of using it i've become one of those thumbing-throughout-dinner kids. With a 1GB memory card, who needs to delete anything?

So now it's already 2 years old. With junk accumulating (memory card used up 800+ MB and up to 2000+ undeleted msgs up from 2006), it's used-to-be-responsive responsiveness is now gone. What left is an at-least-1-minute-to-boot-up phone that takes around 10 seconds to open an incoming msg. Back then when it started to get sluggish, all it did was some occasional one-shake vibration when a msg comes. Now, it's barely able to notify me whenever there's a msg. I had to enter the inbox to check whether i've got any new msgs or not. You noe that envelope icon nokia smartphones have at the right upper corner juz below the battery indicator whenever a msg comes in? Now it never shows up. Now even a glow, not even a shake. It juz stays there, idle. This is how sluggish it is. Y lup always joke about my phone unresponsiveness and i couldn't but agree.

As you noe men are never satisfied with what they have (same goes to girls, but today the subject is the men), I have been looking up for info about other phones as early as the day i got the 6630. What I have in mind as a replacement is the SE W810i. It's a walkman phone. It's a non-smartphone phone. It's kinda cheap (Rm800+). It's got autofocus (makes so much difference i tell you). It's smaller. It's... Damn it i juz want the god damned phone la ok?

So like, any suggestions?

This is the first of my many rants about stuff to do (and sometimes nothing) wit me.

EDIT: So now, if i ever ever reply late, you noe wut actually happened... It's not that i wanted to...

Bulatan itu berbentuk segi empat...

So like woke up at 6.45 to have breakfast wit y lup (his name will be appearing a lot in my blog) at Sri Meenas. Had tosai telur bawang. First time having something indian for breakfast and i shall say i'm not disappointed. As opposed to wut i use to see dudes having at the mamak near my skool, this one is full of onions, loads of it you'll think it's onion sandwich.

After breakfast went over to the driving skool to wait for the guy to bring us to the HQ at Bukit Kemuning. Actually dunno where la, heard them say it, anyway it's near the HUGE Proton showroom (?) with some kind of car research centre beside it one (something that sounds like 'cost management analysis centre' or something like that). It's kinda deep into an area where it's kinda of far from the city. Well it's logic coz you dun wan newbies bumping into you every now and then, duncha? The first thing that caught my eye as we approach the institute was a whole bunch to bikes turned on with it's lights on...


That little puff of smoke in the picture there is in fact the exhaust fumes from the bikes. This was a while after they turned off some of the bikes. Before that it was like smoky! BTW the area in the picture is the place where future legal rempitters were being tested. It's something like an obstacle course wit cones and a random dog coming out (it wasn't really there but we happen to notice a dog nearby at the motorcar test area).

Went into the building. Sat at the waiting area den filled some kind of form and got a book (seems like there's an official name for this thing - 'Pendidikan Pemandu' or for full 'Kursus Pendidikan Pemandu (KPP) ' ). Got into the bilik kuliah den waited summore. Den there's this process we had to go thru where we have to fingerprint something (digital lerrr). It so happened that my IC couldn't get thru (OMG...) and I have to buy (RM10) another card so that the computer can use it to enter my data. And it so happened that y lup's also couldn't get thru. And it so happened that the whole room was holding the same red card as I'm. Only a few held on to their ICs. Makes you wonder... So like the guy came in and intro-ed us to the basics of driving and the rules and the regulations and the process and the type of license and macam macam lagi la... When it was getting bored (it was boring the whole time, was like 2 hours into his talk), he said that we could take a rest and come back in a few moments.

When we got back it was another lecturer this time, a lady. Thank god this lady now knows how to give a talk. It gets quite interesting when she's explaining about the KEJARA thingy, and type of licenses (11 types man!!!) and emergency and stress management and more la. Den around 1.45pm the lecture ended. While waiting for the guy to pick us up i looked around. Then my sight laid on the motorcar test area. God damned it we have to go up a mini hill?! Sheesh...

Got back home at around 2.30. Ate the chicken rice on the dining table. I thought of doing my revision and i did, well i did 2 add maths questions on trigonometry identities. Gave up and watched some TV den came on9.

Today's EST Day.

K so today woke up early to go to skool for EST extra classes. Passed up my writing book although didn't finish that 5 essays i was supposed to do. Throughout the class Vincent took my phone and played some songs at a low volume. Damn...

After the class dudes went for mamak while me and y lup waited at the bus stop for my mom to come. Didn't take a long time... Got back at 10.30. Had chicken rice den went straight for tuition... The grueling 5 hours (11.30 to 4.30)... With Tan's advertisements, Dawam's inactiveness, and Kumar's boring boring stuff...

After tuition went back home to get cash and IC to give to the driving skool's girl. Weird stuff is that outside charging around Rm900+ for the whole course while this one is only around Rm800+. I asked and apparently it's coz they haven't increase the price yet... I smell something fishy here... So like filled in the form and tml me and y lup will be going to listen to the undang-undang thingy for 5 hours (again?). Damn it tml also have to get ready by 7.30am ar... Long time didn't sleep till late morning liao la...

So if everything's fine, i'll be taking the test for the undang undang next week...

This is so awkward...

This is agent Foo reporting live from the middle of Somewhere. I'm now literally risking my life for attempting to report my life here. As you noe, the authorities are out of their minds trying to restrict the people from sharing their life's story on the media.

OK it's always a bit awkward the first time posting something on a blog. There's juz a 'blogger's block' there... So like, I'm back! Yay! 3 months to SPM and juz started blogging!!! Woohoo!!!
