Aloha my friends!! A good morning to ya all!! Yea, I'm so happy right now as I'm sitting in McD of the airport, waiting for my flight minutes later!! Wooohoooo, my sweet home, here I come~~~
Ok ok, that's it, I'm too happy right now that I want to make someone who is not able to go back his/her hometown envious. Lucky that this was a short sem, so I got to have a 2 months holiday at my hometown, though I doubt I will be bored to death xD.
Finally, winter is here! Although there is now snow falling over here, and you are impossible to see a White Christmas over here, it still rains, and there've been a lot of downpour since erm... last week?? I think. And the downpour spoiled me and my friends' plans of going to the lagoon and having some fun. Darn. The news of 3 UTAR students also scared me to hell. Luckily my bro and I and his churchmates were safe when we went to a waterfall before that (it's a different waterfall). Now, my parents and even my grandma forbid me and my bro to join any outings invloving waterfalls and 'bridges'... But I still pay respect for them, so let's close our eyes, and pray for a minute.
Woot, look at the time! I have to board the plane now. Good day folks, and see ya in a short while. For those who are having their finals, good-to-the-luck to ya all!!

Thursday 15 October 2009
It has been a loooong 2 months and at last, I've decided to blog!! Yes, I'm not dead yet, so don't worry. Hm... I think this will be my first time blogging here huh.
The MCB test 2 yesterday was awfully hard (don't get me wrong, it means Molecular & Cell Biology). Even if I've read them and memorized them (I doubt I did), it still gave me a hard time answering the questions. I gave up a one small part of 4 marks when the time's up even though my lecturer said she will give extra time. I was too lazy to think already... Waking up at 4 consequently really drains me out...
Anyway, I came across an interesting e-mail, so I thought I can share it over here. Be reminded that I'm not the one who wrote this, and it does not represent where I am standing:
Blacklisted Companies
1. The cafe scams - Island Red Cafe & Stevens Corner
Both of them are located in Pandan Indah. Island Red Cafe collects RM6k from its members each and promised 5% return every month, and even give you a name in the ROC shareholder, but what's the point when they run away? Stevens Corner, the famous Indian coffee shop, follows due to drop os bussiness since their renovation. They collect RM3k per member and promised a return of RM150 monthly and plans to open nice franchise cafe called Stevens Tea Garden. Someone mentioned that they will make you sign an agrement that gives them the right not to pay you anything in the future. If you really wish to join, you can ask for a copy of their agreement and consult your lawyer BEFORE paying them. Both of them collect money from MLM (multi-level marketing) recruitment schemes and pay the old members like Sunshine Empire. You'll never know when they will run away.
2. Sunshine Empire (busted by BNM)
This licensed and legal company has an impressive office at the ground floor of KUB building along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, near Menara Public Bank and AmBank building. They also have a showroom office at the ground floor in the next building. 3 or 4 months ago, Singapore Strait's Times and The Paper (they stopped paying back members now and all investors lost their money, as expected).
Although Singapore is investigating them, they did not stop their business as the business is legal and so far, no Singaporean have failed to recieve their commissions as promised. Thus, the government cannot stop them yet. The news published that the founder, director and group president is someone named James Phang but he is not the owner. At the end of the game, James Phang can just disappear from the company easily and claimed that he was just 'employed'. Such tricks always happens in scam bussinesses. Now, the company has stopped paying commissions and interests to members with the excuse that the Singapore government has freezed their bank account while under investigation. Do you think their boss will be so stupid to keep that much money in the bank to be freezed? They are all transfered away. It's just an excuses not to pay their members and members are only paid with "e-bonus-points" which is cashless. If they wish to convert them to cash, they have to recruit new members to pay them cash and the recruiter less out from the amount. So victims act like vampires and are "forced" to victimise other victims if they wish to get their money back. And their victims will later transform to vampires and the scam carries on…
3. MobilWallet
This company owned by 2 young men, Stanley & Rey Gan, owning an office in Queens Avenue Park, has collect multi-millions for the last 2 years. Claimed that they tied up with Telekom, Utility Board payment like Water & Electricity bills, even Maybank got fooled by them. Advertisement billboards were everywhere. They STOPPED paying back their members few months ago and the members cannot do anything because they are made to sign an agreement unaware that the company can stop paying them by CHANGING terms and policies.
4. Water bussiness - Oxygenated water products
Some of these are bottled water and some are filters or equipment that claimed the trick.
One of the better known company that sold "oxygen" water is SITO (supposed to stand for Selangor International Trading Organiszation and claimed that Selangor State Government owned some share in it). The key person and founder is Dato Robert Ong from Rawang but his name is no longer in the business now. Their products are sold for RM2 to RM3 for a 350ml bottle and now concentrating mostly in the Indian market. Their Chinese and Malays market are long gone since a year or 2 ago. Their customers are made to believe that their water has more oxygen and able to give miraculous effects for the body. Water is H2O, how to put more O into it? Anyone knows how much oxygen do we breathe into our body everyday at FOC? Latest news is that this SITO company is going to create a new label to market under a new company since the SITO name has already gone bad. Someone informed that this company is owing alot of money(due to refunds) to ex-stockists but just refuse to pay them. (Latest news, SITO shifted to another place and their MLM business has closed but planned to start again with a different name, beware!!)
5. Car fuel booster - K-Link
K-Link, the famous scam MLM company that sold the footpatch TAKARA, later the "cock-ring" and energy-card launched the patrol-saving pills last year. Got so hot that even grocery shops are selling for them. Recently many of these cars that used the pills are rushing to the workshops to clean the residual. Few months ago, another MLM Company launched a fuel booster gadget, claimed that saves up to 20% fuel, that is attached to the cigarette lighter. Started off well using binary plan but business begin to fade now and most users find it NOT effective.
6. Perfume
(eg. Lampe Berger & Bel Air)Lampe Berger is not so hot now in the neighbouring countries but there are still new victims every month in Malaysia. Must thank those who have contributed and kept the thread alive here in Kopitiam. Bel-Air have closed in Malaysia. LB is almost zero in Singapore. This perfumery product from France with over 100 years history is just bottles and fragrance (check the factory's website) but the Company marketing them in Asia claimed them as an "aromatheraphy" product. Hong Kong TVB aired a program that exposed their scam but their members claimed that HK's TVB already apologised to them. Note that the biggest strenght in a MLM Scam is that their members will go all way out to lie in order to defend for their company. The reason is simple: these members fear that they will not be able to make their money back if the company collapse. Knowing that the Lampe Berger products are moving slow, they add a line of skincare products named Estebel, also claimed to have over 100 years history in France. (Hardly anymore Chinese newcomers, they are now tapping the Malays in Malaysia.)
7. Energy products
(eg. stone pendants, bracelets, mattress and pillows). They use all sorts of gimmicks and demonstration to make you into believing them. They will do some tricks and demo to prove that these products really produce energy BUT is there any tricks in their demo? So what if they really produce energy? Is it good or strong enough to help the body? The effect is actually similar to placebo!!
8. Hi-tech products
Names like bio-tech, nano-tech that claimed millions of dollars of research involved, eg. Bio-Young and XKL few years ago. Most of these will have a professor named behind them (even with name and picture of a person) or used words like "U.S.A. formula", "German Technology" or "Nanotechnology" and no further details. If you ask for more details like the professor or factory's address, the answer will be "trade secrets".
9. Investment schemes (busted by BSN)
SWISSCASH is the king of all. Swisscash is nearly over now but there are many similar and smaller ones that are still on. (Now, it's closed or stopped paying back members.)
10. GoldQuest
This copany that claimed to be HK-based started with some non-value gold-plated coins that are sold for over RM2k have several names and changed their products several times (QuestVacation, QuestNet, etc.). They have several offices in Amcorp Mall, PJ and their key person (in fact, the owner), a Malaysian Indian was arrested last year in Indonesia for being involved in a very big Phillipines scam. Most of their overseas offices are closed or inactive but their Malaysia business is still hot, with some "energy" products.
11. Numerogy & fortune telling
A company named Visible is using MLM to sell fortune telling classes using your birthday based on numerology fortune telling. Prospects will be told that they need to buy a certain "number" between 1 to 9 in the form of pendants or bracelets made of stainless steel and sold from RM600 to RM20k. Customers, or rather victims are mostly females from rural areas. Very hot in Penang now and a number of spin-off companies have started.
12. MJ - Life
This Company boost of a very big background with many many years of history which is NOT true. Their people or associates may be long in business but they have nothing to do with their MLM launched recently. Why is it considered a scam or bad? New members are told to pay a sum of money (up to RM1k) and you get NOTHING for it. You only get a membership entitling you to enjoy all sorts of special prices and discounts when you have medical check-ups in their centres... They will claim all those check-ups cost more if done elsewhere. It's not true. Only the naive and those new to medical check-ups will fall victims to them. Most members who paid the money ended up with nothing.
13. Seaweed venture scams
One such company is located in Taman Maluri, Cheras. They will ask you to invest a few thousands ringgit for their venture of growing seaweed in East Malaysia and you are guaranteed returns. To gain your confidence further, they will tell you your investment money is secured by "insurance" or "unit trusts" & "trustees". When you ask for further documents to prove, they will give all sorts of excuses or just ignore you because they know they cannot get you. This seaweed scam is one of the hottest now, warn all your friends about it before they are victimised.
14. MXM (previously MGM)
This is a master in scamming among the younger groups, very successful 2 or 3 years ago but since they moved to their big 10-storey office at Phileo Damansara and changed name to MXM, their business dropped. They collect members RM3k to RM4k with credit card monthly easy payment from members and in return you get a hospital benefits insurance from Pacific Insurance worth only a few hundred RMs together with some you-don't-need medical check-ups from their associate company Pathlab. Also talk about fitness, lifestyles bullshit that is all worthless.
15. Gano Excel
This company from the north, a copycat of DXN selling Lingzhi capsules created a new company called Gano iTouch to cash-in in the internet like e-Cosway after their company went down the drain since the last 2 years, selling Linzhi and some no-value energy pendants and alkaline water gadgets. They provide free transport every weekend from KL to visit their Alor Star office.
16. NuLife (HK)
This company started by some HK people has been in Malaysia for more than 10 years but they have flopped in HK and Malaysia due to bad management and a product scam making use of a prosecuted American named Dr Jeffrey Bland, found guilty of false products claim. Since this case in the US leaked out and many Malaysians found out that the real boss in HK is a Steven Tang (he cheated many Malaysians in another scheme about 20 years ago) their business went down all the way. Now they claim Malaysian partners cheated them and startd a new company in Malaysia . Watch out, this new company will come out with some investment scheme idea that will get many to lose their money.
17. Arowana fs breeding
Oora from Germany , Biofuel (Kompleks Maluri) etc - These are some newer scams. Arowana fish venture ask you to invest some money and give you fixed return. Biofuel will tell you their Indonesia connections (just like Sunshine Empire before using Taiwan) & Oora from Germany (never trust those cruel Germans) that market some bio-chips and a gadget that claims to give energy and therapeutic effects of accupunture, tai-chi, yoga, etc depending how you set the toy-like gadget, wear it on your body and you get the effect later.
They could not explain or provide any demonstration to prove their effectiveness. The health effect is actually like placebo.
It have been a busy week... I'm off now.

iPhone 3GS
At last, iPhone3GS has reached our country. Everyone knows this place always launches stuff later than other places, but it is launched here earlier than I expected, by the company that launched iPhone3G package locally, Maxis. Don't worry, iPhone3G is still available. The letter 'S' in for the iPhone3GS basically represents 'speed'. The word 'speed' is used as everything you do on an iPhone3GS is practically 2 times faster than a iPhone3G. It is also more responsive and improved 3D graphics.
iPhone3GS is a lil bit heavier than iPhone3G, though you can say it is insignificant as the difference is only 2 grams. It now offers a bigger capacity of 16GB and 32GB and you can have one more colour to choose from other than the original black colour, white. For user's sake, Apple upgraded the camera to 3MP with autofocus, which is a bit shameful for iPhone3G as it doesn't have one for such a 3-in-1 phone.
Apple added an additional digital compass and voice control into the iPhone3GS too, and prolonged the battery life of the phone. With iPhone3GS, you can now talk +2 hours more than the old iPhone3G in 2G, +3 more hours when using Wi-Fi, +3 hours for video playback and +6 hours for audio playback. Of course these are just approximate and varies from every user.
The other features and specifications for iPhone3GS are basically the same as iPhone3G.You can go and check the iPhone3GS out in Apple's official website. For information about packages offered by Maxis regarding iPhone3GS can be found in the official Maxis webpage.

After long months of struggling and suffering, I'm at last, lying on my heavenly bed!! The last few weeks are like hell, studying an alien language, where I don't even get what the questions in the last 2 pages of the test paper.
I came across an article in a newspaper few weeks ago and thought of sharing it. Here it is:
你是否患有公主病？
最近在“香港网络大典”发现有趣词汇 - “公主病”，此病甚称比A（H1N1）型流感更甚。在香港，患病人数不少，许多外国人也受感染。网名更为此病做详细解析，你不妨参考，自我检讨是否病患者之一。
据说，患者多是女性、家中独女、或貌美、娇生惯养、不知人间疾苦，自以为天生丽质、高人一等，甚至认定自己是公主，需获公主般待遇。随着患者日益增多，逐渐形成症候群，术语为“公主症候群”。
网名发现感染主因是自小在家被宠坏，进而要求全天下的男人也疼自己。有着则因常去被爱情小说、韩日台偶像剧、好莱坞电影、少女漫画等重度污染，进而发病。
病征不少，如一副高高在上、目中无人姿态，擅长抱怨，觉得别人不如自己、妒忌自己、迫害自己，逆我者都该死。
部分病患会把其实外劳、新移民视为理所当然。她们对生活素质要求很高，会用尽心血追求名牌，因此，他们对金钱毫无概念，挥霍无度，尤其是他人的金钱。男友替他们还卡债，是天经地义的事。
身为其男友须出得厅堂，下得厨房，静的富豪排行榜，也只有帅哥才配做其男朋友；但若是你有有车有钱又浪漫，还是有机会成为他心目中的王子。
要去换着为妻须三思，因她们认为做家务、侍奉公婆、带小孩是黄脸婆作为，是女人的羞耻。
最重要一点是，他们绝不承认自己患有公主病，尽管以上种种特征全部吻合。

Well well well, what do you say eh? You wouldn't know if you are one of the victims if you did not sit down and think again. Anyway, that is it for today. Ciao~~

Sitting in FTZ Subang the whole afternoon today. No internet sucks, it's like you are cut off from the world. Played a few games of DotA, won once and lost twice. Still suck in DotA, especially this year. Maybe I played too much with the AIs, not like last year where people always ask me out. Well, suck in DotA maybe is a good thing xD.
Started learning Russian this Monday. The language was strange, for example you pronounce the letter 'n' as 'p' while 'p' as 'r'. Me and Ace had a hard time to understand what the lecturer talked about at first, because her voice was so damn soft. The lesson is quite boring if you can't hear what she says. Basically, the voice of the students are louder than hers. But I never thought there was a Lincoln College in The Mall, lucky Ace was there before me so I don't have to walk around and look for the college.
This is a boring week. I wanted to have a good nice long holiday before A levels ends, and waited patiently for it. But somehow I feel too damn bored, until I have to borrow Dragon Ball series from Ace and watch them LOL. Sean picked me up to watch movie 2 times this week, and I watched Night in the Museum 2 and Angels and Demons. You see, we are THAT bored. We even called someone and ask her out at 9 pm just to eat dinner with us in Pizza Hut and sent her back home at 10 pm on Tuesday, and that was after the Night in the Museum 2, which Ace left few minutes earlier before the ending to catch his bus, but waited more than 1/2 an hour for it.
Basically, I was loafing around this week, except having Russian classes. I need to get a job and find something to do to fill up my time. I have to think of how to go back to SA now, darn. Ciaoz.
Yours truly,
Blue-Wingz

Mechanics is over and now I'm sitting in the library pissing at myself. Damned, how the hell can I fXXXXed up this kind of paper???!!! The paper was not easy, but it was not hard either, and yet I screwed it. Not to mention this is the first paper for my finals.
Waaargh, I want to yell it out! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!! I got the whole last question wrong!! How can that be!! Motion on a straight line!! I got it wrong!! I mistyped a decimal in my calculator and got t = 0.2s where it is supposed to be t = 20s!! Plus, I spent too much time on Q5, which I did not manage to finish, and I forgot to consider the distance moved when the string is slack in the last part of Q6!!
What a day for the first day of my finals. I can't help it, why am I so damn careless?? Nevermind, I think I should go home now.

Woohoo!! After two long months of 'break', I finally feel like posting now xD! I did not even post during my birthday, which I planned to but forgot LOL. It is the fifth month of a year now, and today, 8th of May, will be the last day of me studying in this college. A year and 3 months sure pass by real fast, without me realising it. Starting next week, I'll be on a study leave to prepare for my finals 2 weeks later. To tell you the truth, I'm still not ready...
The last class for Physics was yesterday though. Our lecturer have to attend some course today, so she replaced the 2 hours class for today 2 weeks earlier, meaning I went to school at only 10am today, the first and the last time hah. Before she left the class yesterday, she bought a cake for the class, and sadly, or you can say luckily, there were only 7 person attending the class. The other half of the class are all missing in action LOL. So, we cut the cake into big portions and savour them together. People who dropped Physics just stare at us eating our cake, too bad for them xD.
The class for today starts from 10am to 1pm, but Biology lecturer let us out earlier, so we came out at about 12.35pm. The 3 remainig lecturers adviced us to do well in our studies. Mathematics lecturer asked us to do more past year papers so that we can get a hold of the format; Chemistry lecturer told us not to give ourselves pressure and always think at the bright side - results is not everything; while Biology lecturer told us that it was a pleasure to teach our class, although it is only for 2 semesters, and she said our class is better than PM6!! Take that Lalazai!!
Our class had our lunch together at Umetei Japanese Restruant today, except for WX and Nick. I think there was duplicate orders as some dishes are served in wrong numbers. But overall, the food was OK. I then went to Sunway to watch X-Men Origins: Wolverine together with Sean Jantan and Lily and the gang. Sean Jantan and I were late for 15 minutes I guess because of the stupid jams and snail-speed lifts. The movie was OK, not a movie that fascinates me or catches my heart, though some say it rocks. Well, everyone has thier own opinion right? We have to wait for Banana Tree to have her makeup done for the photoshoot using IPhone contest (in conjunction with Maxis' IPhone promotion) and stood there for more than 1 hour...
Need to go now, library is gonna close down soon. See ya!
Sincerely,
Blue-Wingz

I got this from a chain mail and thought that it was worth sharing with everyone, so here it is:
When a Person Tells You that You Can't do it
1. Obstacles in front. How to move?
2. Look around...
3. Consider all options in your hands.
4. Go for it!!
5. Use all the abilities God blessed you with.
6. Be creative and stay alert!
7. Your success will prove them wrong!!
Always remember, 'Impossible is nothing' (Adidas). You will succeed if your heart is willing!
***************************************************************
Another mail I got from the others:
What is the meaning of OBAMA?
O - Originally
B - Born in
A - Africa to
M - Manage the
A - Americans
* Please be reminded that I'm not the one who said this. I just 'copy-and-paste' everything from the mail I got. This is quite a nice joke though.
Tomorrow is the 4th of March, World Maths Day. Our college will have an accelerated time table for 10 minutes for all intakes of CAL students because the 09' intakes will be having their LAN exam later in the afternoon. I think the neighbour college had the day off for tomorrow to compete for the World Maths Day Competition I suppose. Someone said that their college isn't happy about last year's result (0801PE4 got the first in the Class Category in the world). Anyway, good luck for the guys who are willing to sit in front of the computer for the whole day just to answer millions of simple maths questions.
Stopping here now, need to study. The library is sure cold...

The 50th entry since I signed up for blogspot!! Woohoo!! Should I be happy about this? Well, who cares anyway xD. OK, to celebrate this 50th post, I'll just post this kois that I got from somewhere.
And I name them 'Koi of Tranquility' (though I'm not the one who made them. I'm sure many of you have seen this before).
That's for now. The second day of March, my lucky month, but I don't feel lucky this year. 3 weeks to trials, and I'm still here loittering around. Bah, just for now. Need to gear up later, so see ya
Happy 50th Blog Entry!!!!
[Edit: Due to some editing, this post isn't the 50th post anymore. Well, it WAS once the 50th post.]

深愛
Last on my list for now, 深愛 by one of the popular seiyuus, 水樹奈々(though some say 平野綾 is more popular. I'm neutral xD.) For me, the songs in this new single is superb as ever, but I think I've heard the song '深愛' in another language before. Anyway, '深愛' is the OP for a new anime series, White Album where again, 水樹奈々 vocalises the main character, where 平野綾 also vocalises another main character (there are 2 female main characters). The recent episode is episode 8 I think. Well, the tracklist:
1. 深愛
2. PRIDE OF GLORY
3. 午前0時のBaby Doll
It is raining outside again, darn. Why not rain after I had my dinner or when I go to sleep? So long everyone...

masterpiece
Next, the new single by 川田まみ. It was released on the 4th last month, titled masterpiece. Some say the song sucks, but I say it is still OK. I consider it as pass, because I like the strange rhythm, though I like another song in this single more, 'jellyfish'. 'masterpiece' is the second OP of the anime To Aru Majutsu no Index. The tracks in this single are:
1. masterpiece
2. jellyfish
3. masterpiece instrumental
4. jellyfisj instrumental

One more week have passed and it's Friday again!! For those who do not believe what happened to Seansterz on last Saturday afternoon, please refer to his blog for the full and detailed account. I believe he did not like what I wrote and was pissed, so he decided to write his experience himself.
Yesterday was Thursday, which means Bio practical on the first 2 periods. We are supposed to make alginate beads and the whole class were so excited, even before this (when the lecturer told us we're doing alginate beads on Monday). She warned us not to play with the beads as some may have allergy to them, causing their hands to itch upon contact, so some girls in the class brought disposable gloves. Yes, they bought them and brought it to the lab (for those who think I'm pointing out them, please don't be offended)...
Yeast-glucose Alginate Beads
We did another one using distilled water instead of glucose solution.
Yeat-distlled water Alginate Beads
Here is what happened when I just pour the mixture of yeast-distilled water into calcium chloride:
What are these? Tentacles LOL!
We are supposed to place an alginate bead into hydrogen peroxide solution to observe the activity of enzyme in yeast. Oxygen bubbles are formed around the beads and are used for the enzyme catalase to catalyse amylase. The beads will later float like this:
The yellow ones are taken from the other experiment
We also add the alginate beads in bromothymol blue solution. After 15 minutes, one of them turns from blue to yellow (pH6) and the other blue to green (pH7).
When the lab hours is over, some girls collected the beads and took them home. I wanted to take them home too, but still discarded them later since they will disappear eventually.
************************************************************
Since I posted so much pictures today, so I decided to post 1 more. This was what I cooked last Sunday (at last I moved my lazy hands and decided to cook). It was the second time I cooked myself this year xD. For 2 long months and I cooked twice only, the first time was the day before, Saturday night.
Stopping here now. Good night my blog!!

I took some pictures when doing the experiment, of course without the lecturer looking. First, we mix yeast together with the same amount of glucose solution. Next, we extract 3cm³ of the mixture, then add same amount of alginate. After stirring, add the mixture into a 3cm depth of calcium chloride using a glass rod, then, yeast-glucose alginate beads are formed.

Came across this blog entry just now. It is intersting, so I thought I should post it here. Here it goes:
Sexting - Serious Consequences
Are your kids “sexting”? That is sending graphic images of themselves or friends to others via text messaging? This is a disturbing trend, that one recent study claims 20% of teens are engaged in this activity. Obviously, sexting can have significant consequences.
Sexting, while a relatively new term, is just another method of sending or accessing inappropriate content, and should be viewed as a form of online CyberBullying. This type of content, has in the past been emailed or posted on personal web pages, but has really taken off because texting is a primary method of communication amongst adolescents and young adults.
Is this simply a case of kids being kids, and making mistakes and bad choices? Or are these felonious activities that will have life-long consequences? Several recent high-profile cases now have lawmakers debating and scrambling on how to treat minors involved in these cases.
In Massachusetts, several boys face possible child pornography charges. Others states, including PA and OH have actually brought felony charges against minors for sexting. It appears that these cases have been settled with lesser charges, but clearly these can have a long-lasting effect.
Regardless of the interpretation of the laws on child pornography, the consequences of sexting can be far-reaching. The reputation of the child whose image is sexted can be sullied and leave them open to further cyberbullying. Images can be posted online, or traded in the digital underworld and find their way to child predators. Recipients and senders could be labeled sex offenders. These are all potentially life-ruining events.
Parents, wake up! We have to know what is happening online. Arm yourselves with knowledge. Ask questions, limit the use of technologies. The stakes are way too high to put our heads in the sand.
*Taken from this page.
It was my college's open day yesterady morning. I did not go, but Seansterz told me that there was a constant flow of people going in and out, so nett flow is zero xD. I called him to have lunch together. When I got out of my unit, guess what happened? If a person with a bleeding nose came to you and say 'Hi', what will be your first reaction? If Seansterz did not greet me, I never knew that guy was him.
He banged himself on a metal pole when trying to pick up my call. I was speechless when I heard his explanation. 2 of his teeth were dangling, and he is sitting in the middle of the road crying. He said he asked for tissue paper from the guard house, but the security guards gave him newspaper instead. Hah, pawned by metal pole and a piece of newspaper!! Seansterz said most of the part was his carelessness, and some part was my fault, so I walked him to look for help. We walked pass 3 clinics at the same row as McD and all of them were having lunch break.
Then we were in front of A Qualitas Clinic. The nurse inside was reluctant to let Seansterz inside at first, keep making the hand sign 2 (or maybe victory?). What she meant was that the clinic will only be reopening at 2. He was let in later still and got his swollen wound fixed up by a Punjabi doctor, that was what he said. I have to sit in the clinic for 10+ minutes waiting for him. A small wound for 54 bucks, a price for cleaning up a small little wound with an injection LOL. That will be an experience for him, since he got so many attention from the others, especially when we sat down and had our lunch at 面对面.
10.43 a.m. now, have to think of what to do the whole day. By the way, the teeth and crying part is fake xD. Have to go now, ciao~~

Velonica
At last Aqua Timez released thier new single, Velonica. I waited for this for sooooo long and was happy to get it. I can't stop listening to 'Velonica' when I got it. Here's the tracklist:
1. Velonica
2. 奏であい
3. 薫
4. Velonica (Instrumental)
That's all for today. I think I'll go sleep now. Nitez.

It's TGIF! I feel like so many people went back to thier hometown, example Owen, Lalazai, Banana & Banana Tree, Nikky, Lily and also Wee San. Hmm... It's none of my business anyway. Our class had our Bio practical on Thursday, first thing in the morning. We were supposed to test the activity of the shoot of germinating green bean inside the hydrogen peroxide solution. Ms Balvinder later showed us the activities of Shirota's strand of Lactobascillus from one drop of Yakult, since we are studying about gene technology now. It was like a rain of rod shaped bacteria when projected onto the white screen. Someone suddenly suggested adding hydrogen peroxide into the slide (I think it was Seansterz or Nikky, one of them). After preparing the slides, we watch the bacteria activity on the white screen. It was a disaster LOL. Every bacteria were 'hyper-active', and thier numbers are reduced so much that we can recognise thier rod-shaped body so easily.
Before adding hydrogen peroxide (with Nikky's head included xD).
After adding hydrogen peroxide.
I'm in a dilemma right now. Suddenly thought of dropping Physics just before sleeping yesterday night, to be precise, this morning xD. I consulted Ms Agnes, and she insist me to stay, since I've attended most of the classes and almost finishing the syllabus. Someone just talked to me about this just now, and asked me to rant to someone when I need to. Well, at least I got 50% in EM induction. 4 people in class got the highest, which is only 69% LOL. At least I got to beat Nikky for once, hahah. Ms Indra returned our Differential Equation test papers few days ago. The total is 25 marks and i got 18, same as Nikky. If I keep this up, maybe I can get something in A2, but I think I'm screwed in Complex Numbers and also Vector.

I still have a few singles and album to add, but I think I'll save t for later. Currently studying Physics EM Induction. Have to flip through Chemistry also because I'm having both Chemistry and Physics class test... I was asked to join someone swimming later at about 10pm. I think I'm going, as I'm so lazy to force myself to move my butt for an inch for sports.
That's all for today, and have a fun wedding night and Happy Valentine's Day for those 200++ couples who got married yesterday.
Yours sincerely,
Blue-Wingz

It's been a long while since I visted this page xD. A Saturday night, and I am staying in my room here. I'm not going out because someone forced me to go out at 9.30pm yesterday. Guess who? Well, you don't have to guess, it's only that idiot, Lalazai. That idiot told me that we're going to watch a movie at 9.40pm and we ended up watching 'Pink Panther 2' at 11.45pm instead, sitting in Sunway for 2 hours like some workless idler. At least the movie was funny enought to make me forget that. I like Cloussoe talking something irrelevant and 'wrong' LOL.
Wanted to post some pictures, here they are:
My bro made this. A man lying down on the floor, pierced by a sword, while his associate kneel before him. Wonder what he was thinking?
Got this after the AS O/N 2008 Exam last year. Hmm... wonder who is inside...
A sticker on a table outside of cafeteria. I agree on this.
You can get what is the students in my college thinking. I think they want some freshness and excitement from the pictures I caught somewhere sometime ago.
YY left Malaysia today, arriving in a few more hours at Australia. Owen phoned her in the afternoon and said goodbye. She was in JB that time. I messaged her too, hoping her to have a nice trip. I think the only one who did nothing is Lalazai, even though Owen and I keep on reminding him. He keep on avoiding the topic... It's not like we're teasing, just saying goodbye as a friend, what's wrong with that?
YY from behind LOL.
Got back my speaker set from Ah Kiat this afternoon. Currently listening to 平井堅's キャンバス. What a nice song listening alone... Woops, look at the time, it's pass 12 already... Although I am late by a an hour plus xD, I still wanted to say Happy Valentine's Day!! Nitez,or shall I say 'Morninz' my blog!!

Today is the 7th day of Chinese New Year, according to the Lunar Calender. Though it is a bit late already, I still wanted to say "新年快乐!牛转乾坤!" to everyone. I was unable to blog during the holidays because I'm "too busy", or you can say I'm lazy xD. Year 2009 is the Ox year, and of course everyone hope that this year will be a fine and prosperous year. But I some how had a bad feeling. The constant rain enabled2 landslides to occur in my hometown, almost within a week, killing more than 2 people. One crushed Shell petrol station oppposite to Bintang Plaza and another burried 2 houses opposite Grand Palace Hotel. PLKN Camp is also flooded too until the height of a normal table, though I don't care much about it.
Still, I hope this year will be a nice year. According to Chinese Feng Shui (or something like that), this year will be a good year for the Horses, since Horses were having no luck in year 2008. Well, it is just something for advice and we have a choice to believe it or not. I personally think that it has no affect in my life.
Before going back for CNY, I went to Inti College SJ's "Moo Moo Festival". It was held on Tuesday night, a week before the CNY holidays. To tell you the truth, the performances sucks, except the 二十四节令鼓 and 撤铃. It rained at abt 9pm, so I left and did not watch the remaining performances. I left my ticket with my classmates and went DotA with 6 others. Randomed PA, and owned during late game (Huskar and Abaddon help defending, and Huskar got 2 more kills then me =.=). Later, I found out my lucky draw number won me a speaker set, and I left it in my friends house.
AS results was released the next day. I was not in my good mood that day. At least I got an A in my Maths, which is the easiest paper among all papers I sat last year. I will bang myself on the wall if I didn't get an A for it. Many in my class decided to drop some subjects or differ to another intake. 2 person I knew even dropped A Levels. I was afraid I can't cope with it anymore. Why CIE decided to release the results before CNY? Why?? That afternoon, ET asked me out to the movies, asking me not to think too much about the results. So, I went with 2 others and watched "They Wait". It was quite a nice horror movie, with a special plot. Then we had our dinner at Kim Gary and went back.
People seemed to stop buying firecrackers this year after the economy crisis. The fireworks only lasted about half an hour during 除夕夜 before 12am. It lasted for more than 1 hour the last few years. I have no comment when it rained a while after the clock hit the number 12, as if asking people who are "burning thier money" to stop and go back to sleep. The rest of the CNY days were great, except on Friday where the second landslide occured. I was stucked in the traffic jam after it occured, and saw ambulance and police passing by.
I still have Biology quiz tomorrow, so I have to stop now. Haven't taken my dinner yet, my lunch either xD. I sincerely hope that this year will be a great year, with great events in my life, and yours too!! Happy Chinese New Year!!
Sincerely,
Blue-Wingz

Windows MicroXP v0.82
Ever heard of MicroXP?? No?? MicroXP is a special edition of Windows XP. The latest version, Windows MicroXP v0.82 is released last year, and you know what? The total size of the WINDOWS folder is only about 199MB!! Yes, 199MB, plus the CD size of 99.9MB, it is one of the smallest Windows XP installation. Despite the small size, it can truly run 99% of the programmes and games that are working on normal XP. Until now, there is still no reports on any programmes or games not working in this Windows version.
This install includes stuffs that are found in normal XP, for instance default XP drivers for Ethernet/Sound/SCSI/RAID. It has all keyboard layout choices kept and Service Pack 3 final slipstreamed into it. LAN Networking is now possible by using the 'Map Network Drive' and just put the computer name of the computer you want to network with. Digital Cameras and Scanners can also now be used. The ISO file size is also the same as the previos versions, which is 99.9MB. There is one thing that disappoint me, that is that all languages are kept, except Chinese and Japanese (which I often use) and also Korean.
Installation time of corse differs from computer to computer, but it won't take long - about 5 minutes is enough to get this Windows installed and ready to use. The following info is taken from this page:
RAM Usage On First Installation............ 27.7 MB
Handles.................................... 1355
Threads.................................... 110
Processes.................................. 11
WINDOWS Folder............................. 182 MB
Items In System32.......................... 670
ISO File Size.............................. 83.3 MB
This is what I got from Mininova:
RAM Usage On First Installation ........... 39 MB
Handles ................................... 2229
Threads ................................... 157
Processes ................................. 15
Entire Install Size ....................... 205MB
Documents and settings folder size ........ 3.19 MB
Program Files folder size ................. 2.79 MB
WINDOWS folder size ....................... 199 MB
Files In System32 ......................... 815
ISO File Size ............................. 99.9 MB
Here are some services that are remained in MicroXP and are enabled by default, so they can be used straight away:
Cryptographic Services
DCOM Server Process Launcher
DHCP Client
Event Log
Logical Disk Manager
Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service
Network Connections
Plug and Play
Print Spooler
Remote Access Auto Connection Manager
Remote Access Connection Manager
Remote Procedure Call
Server
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Telephony
Windows Audio
Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)
Windows Installer
Wireless Zero Configuration
Workstation
Contents of the folder eXPerience on Desktop:
Desktop Icon Layout (Lets you save your desktop icon layout)
Driver Install Tool (Easily install all your drivers, see ReadMe)
Keyboard Settings (Quick access to Regional and Language options)
Networking Guide (Shows how to get connected to your networked PC's)
Registry Backup (Make a complete backup of the registry in one click)
Services Config (Files to enable and disable functionality)
ShrinkXP Scripts (to remove any items you do not want or need)
Web Browser (Browzar, to download a full browser of YOUR choice)
Windows Media Player 11 (This is just a readme file about WMP11)
But before, you have to know that the install is a greatly reduced installation of Windows XP SP3. Please read the following if you are interested in installing them:
[WHAT YOU CANNOT DO]
- SINGLE USER ONLY -
You cannot add any additional users. Do not try to add more users, otherwise your main account that is used by default (Administrator) will become the new account and after logging in, you will not have any desktop theme (not even Classic) and the whole account will be ruined. You'll probably have to install Windows again because if you make a new account it replaces Administrator and tries to log you in with Default User - the problem with this is - there is no Default User anymore.
- NO NATIVE SUPPORT FOR FTP SITES -
There is no built in support for downloading from FTP sites, try using Filezilla or WS_FTP if you need to do that. Even just Opera or Firefox can probably do it. This functionality is gone because the Application Layer Gateway service is gone, along
with ALG.EXE that normally runs in Task Manager, taking up about 6Mb RAM for what amounts to no reason.
- NO VISITING WINDOWS UPDATE -
You cannot visit Windows Update with this version of Windows because Internet Explorer is removed. You can manually download updates from Microsoft and you can also use the alternative Windiz Update website through Opera or Firefox. Because so
much has been removed from this edition of Windows, you are not likely to be any more safe installing updates for Windows.
NOTE: Because this edition of Windows uses a patched winlogon.exe in order to remove the oembios.bin file, you really should not update Windows anyway, in case
winlogon.exe gets replaced by an update. There are more details about this in the eXPerience folder on the desktop once MicroXP is installed.
- NO FAST USER SWITCHING -
Apart from you only being able to have the one account anyway (Administrator) the ability to do Fast User Switching is also removed.
- NO PASSWORD STORAGE/AUTOCOMPLETE -
Windows will not save stored passwords, however, this only really applied to Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, which are removed. You will be fine using Firefox or Opera web browsers and Thunderbird email client for emails. Those are self contained programs and take care of storing your passwords by themselves.
- NO CD-ROM AUTOPLAY -
When you insert a CD that would bring up a screen to install the program contained on the CD, this does not happen in this version of Windows, you will have to explore the CD manually and run whatever file it is that runs the program's setup, usually
setup.exe on the root of the CD. If the CD has a file called AUTORUN.INF then open that file and look at which .exe file is listed in AUTORUN.INF
- NO SMART CARD DETECTION -
- NO SCHEDULED TASKS -
You cannot set programs, like AntiVirus or Hard Disk Defrag programs to run in the future IF they need the Scheduled Tasks service in Windows. If you are going to run those types of programs you will have to manually scan or defrag whenever it is convenient. Despite this, one program that will schedule its operations is Perfectdisk defrag, you do not need Task Scheduler for this program to run a scheduled defrag.
- NO REMOTE DESKTOP -
There is no Remote Desktop in this version of Windows because the Terminal Services service is removed.
- NO THEMES -
You cannot have the Luna (Blue/Olive/Silver) desktop theme in this version of Windows, the only theme you can choose is Windows Classic which it is already set to by default. You can however install Windowblinds if you want to and it will work fine, Windowblinds does not rely on the Themes service. You could even make MicroXP look like Vista with the Ironjer AeroGlass The Remix V4. Use v4 not v5 of that if you use it.
- NO UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY SERVICE -
I always thought UPS Service delivered parcels but apparently not, if you have this type of device then it will not work on this version of Windows. A UPS is only used for emergencies like if you have a power cut - thats if you even have such a device.
[WHAT YOU CAN DO]
- PROGRAMS -
You can still install and run just about all the programs and games that you can run on a normal installation of XP. There is a text file in the eXPerience folder on the desktop that has a list of programs that work and includes some that don't work (not many). Even Office 2007 installs on this version of Windows.
- GAMES -
Up to now, there has not been one single report of any game not working on MicroXP. Gaming is what this edition of Windows is all about, it gives better benchmarks than any other version of Windows I have ever tested.
- LAN NETWORKING -
At last - MicroXP now has the ability to browse your local network. All you need to know is the computer name of the computer you want to connect to and thats about it, just right click My Computer and choose Map Network Drive. All computers can see each other even if every computer in the network is running this MicroXP.
- CAMERAS AND SCANNERS
Now in MicroXP it is possible to use a digital camera (USB only, no Firewire) or a scanner. Tested and working with a Fuji FinePix 6MP camera. The Photo Printing Wizard is not included, neither is the wizard to download photos from the internet, but the rest of the functionality for cameras and scanners is as complete as in full Windows. My favourite saying: whats missing, you're not gonna miss! Print photos with Photoshop or maybe even Irfanview. Ctrl+P to print works in every single program that supports it, so its not like we ever needed the photo printing wizard, which only ever made all images I fed through it A4, even small images, so it actually did not even work, unless I skipped a button but there really are no buttons to skip in that wizard, its useless.
- DIAL-UP CONNECTION -
You can still use a Dial-Up connection (Broadband or old 56k modem). This is the one major flaw in other stripped out operating systems, a lot of UK users still use a modem with broadband... in this edition, RAS Dial-Up/PPPoE/DSL/ADSL connectivity is OK as well as old 56k modems. Yes, try this install on a Pentium II or even an old 486 might run it! They had 75Mhz processors and 8Mb RAM with 4Mb graphics cards.
- WEB BROWSER -
This installation already includes a basic web browser called Browzar that uses a few core files left from Internet Explorer. No, Internet Explorer is not included, but select files included in this installation that come from Internet Explorer are vital to running Windows. Its also Internet Explorer related files that allow you to open CHM files, which you can do in this edition of Windows. This Browzar web browser is only here so you can at least get online and download Firefox, Opera, Netscape or whatever browser you want. This not only saves space on this CD, but you get to choose what web browser you want to use and you get the latest version not an old and possibly insecure version. Flash v9.0.124.0 for Firefox and Opera is included, so Google Video and YouTube work straight away in whichever browser you install.
- PASSES WGA CHECKS -
If you go to download for example, Windows Media Player 11 from Microsoft's downloads section, you will need to validate windows by running the GenuineCheck.exe file that Microsoft asks you to download as part of the Windows Genuine Advantage checks. Its fine to do this, don't be scared of your key being blacklisted.
- WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11 -
You can install Windows Media Player 11 in this edition of Windows.
NOTE: Because the file WMPLOC.DLL is not in system32, Windows Media Player 11 will say that it could not complete setup or words to that effect. IGNORE THIS ERROR! Windows Media Player 11 is fully working after you install it and get that error, Windows Media Video type formats stream in Opera and Firefox still - so you can ignore that installation error. Just make sure if you install Windows Media Player 11 to have the Cryptographic Services service enabled. Windows Media Player 11 needs that service started to install. After installing Windows Media Player 11 you can then disable Cryptographic Services if you wish, like a lot of stuff in Windows, it doesn't really do anything important.
- WMV STREAMS -
Once you have installed Opera, Firefox, Netscape or the browser of your choice, as long as you install Windows Media Player 11, you can stream Windows Media Videos from websites like the BBC's News website, or anywhere that has WMV streams. This is possible because there are three DLL files added to the Windows Media Player folder in Program Files. Don't worry, theres no Windows Media Player there, it only contains the vital DLL files for streaming compatibility in Firefox and Opera if you install Windows Media Player 11. Note that you do need to install Windows Media Player 11 to view .WMV movies in web pages.
- FLASH -
If you install Opera or Firefox web browser(s) in this special MicroXP edition of Windows, you can go visit YouTube or Google Video without even having to install Flash Player. You can just watch the videos right away.
Anyway, if you are interested, you can google it. For me, I got it from Mininova and it is fully seeded (for now xD). Good luck everyone, need to go to the library now lol.

There is a text file in the eXPerience folder on the desktop that has a list of programs that work and includes some that don't work (not many). Even Office 2007 installs on this version of Windows.
- GAMES -
Up to now, there has not been one single report of any game not working on MicroXP. Gaming is what this edition of Windows is all about, it gives better benchmarks than any other version of Windows I have ever tested.
- LAN NETWORKING -
At last - MicroXP now has the ability to browse your local network. All you need to know is the computer name of the computer you want to connect to and thats about it, just right click My Computer and choose Map Network Drive. All computers can see each other even if every computer in the network is running this MicroXP.
- CAMERAS AND SCANNERS
Now in MicroXP it is possible to use a digital camera (USB only, no Firewire) or a scanner. Tested and working with a Fuji FinePix 6MP camera. The Photo Printing Wizard is not included, neither is the wizard to download photos from the internet, but the rest of the functionality for cameras and scanners is as complete as in full Windows. My favourite saying: whats missing, you're not gonna miss! Print photos with Photoshop or maybe even Irfanview. Ctrl+P to print works in every single program that supports it, so its not like we ever needed the photo printing wizard, which only ever made all images I fed through it A4, even small images, so it actually did not even work, unless I skipped a button but there really are no buttons to skip in that wizard, its useless.
- DIAL-UP CONNECTION -
You can still use a Dial-Up connection (Broadband or old 56k modem). This is the one major flaw in other stripped out operating systems, a lot of UK users still use a modem with broadband... in this edition, RAS Dial-Up/PPPoE/DSL/ADSL connectivity is OK as well as old 56k modems. Yes, try this install on a Pentium II or even an old 486 might run it! They had 75Mhz processors and 8Mb RAM with 4Mb graphics cards.
- WEB BROWSER -
This installation already includes a basic web browser called Browzar that uses a few core files left from Internet Explorer. No, Internet Explorer is not included, but select files included in this installation that come from Internet Explorer are vital to running Windows. Its also Internet Explorer related files that allow you to open CHM files, which you can do in this edition of Windows. This Browzar web browser is only here so you can at least get online and download Firefox, Opera, Netscape or whatever browser you want. This not only saves space on this CD, but you get to choose what web browser you want to use and you get the latest version not an old and possibly insecure version. Flash v9.0.124.0 for Firefox and Opera is included, so Google Video and YouTube work straight away in whichever browser you install.
- PASSES WGA CHECKS -
If you go to download for example, Windows Media Player 11 from Microsoft's downloads section, you will need to validate windows by running the GenuineCheck.exe file that Microsoft asks you to download as part of the Windows Genuine Advantage checks. Its fine to do this, don't be scared of your key being blacklisted.
- WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11 -
You can install Windows Media Player 11 in this edition of Windows.
NOTE: Because the file WMPLOC.DLL is not in system32, Windows Media Player 11 will say that it could not complete setup or words to that effect. IGNORE THIS ERROR! Windows Media Player 11 is fully working after you install it and get that error, Windows Media Video type formats stream in Opera and Firefox still - so you can ignore that installation error. Just make sure if you install Windows Media Player 11 to have the Cryptographic Services service enabled. Windows Media Player 11 needs that service started to install. After installing Windows Media Player 11 you can then disable Cryptographic Services if you wish, like a lot of stuff in Windows, it doesn't really do anything important.
- WMV STREAMS -
Once you have installed Opera, Firefox, Netscape or the browser of your choice, as long as you install Windows Media Player 11, you can stream Windows Media Videos from websites like the BBC's News website, or anywhere that has WMV streams. This is possible because there are three DLL files added to the Windows Media Player folder in Program Files. Don't worry, theres no Windows Media Player there, it only contains the vital DLL files for streaming compatibility in Firefox and Opera if you install Windows Media Player 11. Note that you do need to install Windows Media Player 11 to view .WMV movies in web pages.
- FLASH -
If you install Opera or Firefox web browser(s) in this special MicroXP edition of Windows, you can go visit YouTube or Google Video without even having to install Flash Player. You can just watch the videos right away.
Anyway, if you are interested, you can google it. For me, I got it from Mininova and it is fully seeded (for now xD). Good luck everyone, need to go to the library now lol.

PSI-missing
Holiday of nearly a month is finally over, and my first year in college end officially. Tomorrow will be the first day of my third semester, and my second year in my college. Half a year to go!!
Anyway, 川田まみ had released her latest single last November. I was somewhere where there is no internet connection available for me, and I forogt to update myself even when there is internet around, so I just got it these few days. Well, the new single, PSI-missing, is catchy as always. Her songs always attracts me with the interesting intro. By the way, PSI-missing is the opening song of the anime To Aru Majutsu no Index. Here is what is contained in the single and its cover:
1. PSI-missing
2. 雨
3. PSI-missing (Instrumental)
4. 雨 (Instrumental)
