27/12/12 Matlab workshop



Decided in a wimp yesterday to join this Matlab workshop that is organized by IEEE of MMU. I saw this last week, but was clever enough to ignore it. I don't know why I went to see it again and then decide to join in. It cost me RM50 for this 5 hours workshop.
The workshop promises to cover:
  • Introduction to MATLAB 
  • Matrix Operations 
  • Graphical User Interface 
  • Image Processing 
  • Simulink *bluff me, don't have this*
  • Miscellaneous Functions *???*
By far, the introduction to MATLAB, I can actually learn it online in my own pace. I went to google matlab and then discovered www.mathworks.com. Clicked some tutorials in the academia section. I learned a lot in just 30 mins by myself. And I find it easier to understand from the online site better than in the workshop, as the website uses interactive video so it's more interesting and the explanation are way better. And they use perfect English, not in Malaysian slang/grammar, so it's much more easier to digest and understand.

First of all, the computer sucks. With only 1GB of RAM, it's super slow. MMU should upgrade the old computers plus there's only a few labs which have Matlab in them. Plus the Matlab version is not even the new one. How disappointing!

There's two lecturers who came to teach. The first one teaches intro, matrix, and the GUI. Honestly, I didn't really paid attention to him because his powerpoint slides did all the necessary explanations. The second one teaches image processing. The first one is okay but the second one is really bad at explaining. And he is suppose to be my Digital Signal Processing lecturer but then I went to another section instead of his. He skipped most of the explaining, maybe it's due to the time constraint, but this doesn't help the students to better understand at all. So, basically, they just give some example coding and then we have to teach ourselves what those coding does by observing the output and listening to the little information given from the lecturer. I guess this is how university level students learn things. We can't be spoon-fed anymore, have to find out the answer ourselves. But it's okay, Mr. Google helps a lot. 

Dinner was at 9pm, they provided us some Burger King's burger. IMHO, the portion is too small, even for me. It's not really that fulling at all plus the timing of dinner time was too late. I would be starving if I didn't went for teatime with Alex. 

In the end, I think I wasted some of my money and time in there. But maybe I wouldn't have learn anything if I didn't went to that workshop. Maybe I'm just buying a push that I needed to make me learn something new. 
I think I'm not going to participate in these anymore if I knew I can learn this by myself with Prof. Internet. 
I'm beat. I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight.

The start of 20


Thank you my friends and family who came to celebrate with me and who wished me Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas that day even when there is no facebook notifications on their wall. People rely too much on social media nowadays to remember all the important dates. I too forget my friend's birthday actually. :X But of course I won't forget those close to me. <3 I'm sorry I didn't go all out to enjoy with you guys on that day. But I don't feel like getting wasted on a day like this. HAHA! I'm just a bit different from other people or maybe I'm just too lazy.

I can't believe I'm 20 now. The big TWO in front of my age. I can't fool around anymore like a kid, I can't wander aimlessly now. I have to strive for the better and plan out my life. I'm in need of a big change. I will do my best and do what I can now. New Year is coming, maybe I'll have to do a resolution again for next year. I didn't have any this year, because I always fail to achieve each and every one of them, so it's a bit disappointing really. All I can blame is myself for not doing things. I get scolded a lot lately -.- but at least somebody make me realize what kind of person I am. Apparently, I'm really a hardcore pessimist. And a very anti-social person. What's happening to me?

Finals is just around the corner. Gah! Must start being hardworking too. Good night! Sleep tight!

First shooting range visit




First time seeing a real gun yesterday and the first time handling and firing a real gun today! It was too exciting since these things are usually seen in the movies but not in real life. It seemed intimidating and it still is, since a gun can kill a person in a split second. :S 

The City Square Shooting range is situated in TKS building at the 9th floor. I have an uncle who works for the police force so he introduced us to one of his friends to give a short course and then bring us to the firing range to get down to business. 


Seeing back this picture, I guess I have forgotten about "the stance" where I have to stand with my leg wide enough (that looks very weird, so I ignored it) and my arms looked so weird. *cries and laugh* Or maybe I just think that way because I received comment that I was holding it wrongly. I don't know, but my coach said my posture was correct. I guess anything will work if you're comfortable with it. I'm defensive that way when people say I'm doing something wrongly but since I'm not a pro at this, what can I say? 

My 5m result
My brother's 5m result
He sucked big time. Hahaha! BURN! But according to the statistics, females and younger people can aim more accurately (not every, but most). It was proven once again today. My mum did a pretty spot-on job too, but her results wasn't taken down for her, so I didn't have a chance to snap it down. Uncle Alvin on the other hand, was having problem too. Haha.

My 15m result. Yay! All in black! 6 of 10 bullets were near the number 5 circle! :D 
I found my hidden talent! LOL!
I guess we were using the agent's pistol so we were only  given the choice of shooting with a Walther P99 or a Glock. Both semi-auto and can reload 10 bullets for every magazine. If you ask me, I'll prefer the Walther to Glock because the trigger is easier to handle. But both the recoils still stung my hand for awhile every time I shoot, cause I didn't grip it tight enough at first. Then again, I was weak from the start. So, be sure to grip tightly!

My brother's greatest achievement that day.
Misfired. Holy crap. It's official, he's only good at firing in games but not in reality. XD

I forgot to bring my contact lenses with me. It's pretty uncomfortable actually to wear double. 



It costs us RM1300 for a group of 4 persons (cheaper since we have more people). He gave us unlimited bullets and we can shoot for an hour. I heard that normally it's supposed to be at least RM350 per person for a short course(only need to go for once) and they would charge you differently for rental of gun of your choice and how many bullets you used. But in our case, since we dealt with our friendly "agent", we were charged differently. 

You can also apply for membership at the shooting range if you're a hardcore one. Apparently, people come here to train most of the time for competition. About the price, you can ask the friendly staff there. Their facebook page info.

If you're interested, you can pm me for his phone number. He will brief you and guide you in the shooting too. :)

13/12/12 Old School


There's a new restaurant in town! Went for a try upon Soon En's invitation. It's been a long time since I saw Eric too! Finally can eat with him today. Working people are so busy busy busy!
The deco are pretty simple for the place and it's pretty interesting. The menu is adorable! but humongous with a lot of food choices. There's a page for lunch and another for dinner, I guess they serve different foods at different time. The waitress are all... very short actually. I wonder if they hire short people on purpose. So that they can look like school kids. Like for instance, the one with the school uniform in the picture above. Yes, that's the waiter and the boss and the school uniform is their working uniform! Funny but unique. 

I ordered the steak with brown sauce. The portion is kinda small considering it cost me RM19.90. They gave me many potato wedges though. The taste is not bad, but not very tasty. Just normal. The cabonara spaghetti has nothing special to describe too. I guess it's just so-so. They also sell charcoal burgers and hotdogs, no comment on the taste though. :P

It's interesting but I don't think I've have a second go at this, considering the price and the quality and flavor. Maybe it's just me, but bleh.


Silly me! I forgot to take pictures of myself! Oh nevermind.
P/S, Soon En, you look like a kid with that haircut! It's very funny! HAHAHA!


Birthday Wish List 2012

So it's the time of the year again! Christmas is almost here, and I can't wait for it! And like every year (except last year, I wonder why?), I would post a list of things I would like to get for my birthday. I would/would not get these items, but at least if people really wanna buy stuffs for me, they won't have to crack their brains out to think and they won't get things that I won't use either. :P ehehehehe 

But normally, I don't get much presents. So... WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Joey's Wanted List
  1. White/Blue/Yellow Instax Mini! (Preferable Mini 8). To be honest, I checked this out today, I thought of buying it for myself but it ain't cheap as I thought. I expect it to be around RM200 (it is for a 7 but I like 8 better. Cause I don't want shitty pics for collections. Demand demand.) I found the cheapest to be RM305 including one box of film here. Okay, I'll buy it in the future. Maybe after Chinese New Year. XP
    Anyone wants to sell their second hand Instax mini?? Please pm me! I'm seriously interested!
  2. Yarns and books for crocheting. Honestly I don't have any idea where to start to do something from this. Please inspire me?
  3. Ukulele. Somebody is buying this for me already. Eheh! 
  4. A trip to anywhere. I don't care. Anywhere, nowhere fancy is acceptable too. Beach? Casino? House party? Poolside? Picnic by the park? Go crazy. Applicable for all year round not only christmas.
  5. Food. Any food, that are not bought of course. But made from all your love. LOL

  6. Time. Because I don't have much of it. Give me yours instead. :3
  7. Care. Find me and talk to me. It doesn't cost a dime and I would appreciate it alot, as I know somebody out there cares for other people. Doesn't matter if we are close friends, or just some random stranger.
I think my list still have some things that I wished to have on my 2010 christmas list. LOL! and a Polaroid is in there! AHAHA! No kick for me to buy even after 2 years. XP But I learned a lot already, not only items can make me happy. Some times, true happiness can be given in a much easier way. Just needs effort. :)

Money also acceptable. You can give me money as presents. LOL!!

10/12/12 Big Bad Wolf bookfair


Went for a look at The Mines there for this popular book sale/fair. Apparently, there's this huge book sale event every year, but somehow, I manage to only hear the gist of it this year. I wonder why they call it "The Big Bad Wolf" but the mascot is quite cute, despite being a bad wolf. There's TONS of books there and it's really really cheap. I managed to buy 2 books which costs me RM16 in total, I guess it's really a steal. Apparently, they have "The Secret" too, but it's all sold out now. Geez, the book really have an undying reputation. They have loads of book but I don't seem to know which corner have which kind of book unless I try seeing all the available titles on the tables. It's really dizzying, I just wish they had more indicator on the tables so I can know what book is on the table. *sigh*
I used to read everyday last time, but I guess my habit is dying now. I always said I have no time, but once I start reading, I can't stop to put the book down (if it's interesting enough). I still remember how hooked I was on the twilight book series. Haha!

 Anyway, for you book-lovers out there, be sure to stop buy and stock some books up for your bookshelves and your brain. There's this banner they put up that says "If the world ends, at least we'll be together, 20-21 Dec". I was like LOL, okay, a very good joke.

Dessert at Tong Pak Fu
The Mines really have a big variety of food-selling shops, I ate so much. DX I even bought 18 durian puffs back! Shilin's chicken taste to good. T.T and this Tong Pak Fu too. Oh, guilty pleasure. I'm gaining 1-2kg already for the past 2 weeks because of midterm. :( I want badminton, but my labs session are always get the way when my family goes to badminton! ACK!

8/12/12 Not a good day

Finally, it's the long awaited weekend. It felt like aeons since I have a perfectly lazy weekend for myself. Well, not really, it's exactly 2 weeks ago in human time. And it's not really a "lazy" weekend since I had to wake up earlier today to get myself ready and packed up my things and drove back to SA to meet my family. We went for lunch and a movie at The Paradigm Mall.

I was half-absent although my feet are on the mall's ground. My mind was flying off to somewhere. Let's just put it this way...

I was not in the mood to eat, hear, talk or whatever.

 

At least this movie cheered up a little of my day. 
And honestly, this is way much better than Life of Pi in my honest opinion. I was captivated at every moment, not boring for me at all. Hey, I know it's a "cartoon" film so I think many people will choose not to watch this, but it's truly entertaining. Maybe I'm still a kid at heart.
I'll rate this 9.5/10
Jack Frost is good-looking for a 3D character and Easter Bunny is so tribal-ishly awesome.




It's true that I express myself better in text rather in real-life-talking. 
But that's just me. I'm intimidated by talking itself. 
When I'm writing, I can think thoroughly before putting it into words. 
But when talking, I might say something stupid or make no sense at all.
I have no problem talking things out with friends. 
But when it comes to lover's quarrel, fuck me. 
I'm not good at dealing with these kind of things, 
so much fear, so insecure,  and very cowardly of me. 
And I tend to think too much, it's seriously not good for my brain or well-being. 
I don't like being "tested". What in the world were you thinking? 
Does that mean I'm not qualified to be a girlfriend?
Maybe I should do the same to you next time!
YES, I'M STILL FURIOUS ABOUT THIS. I DIDN'T SPEAK A WORD OF IT BUT I STILL AM.
My true feelings still likes to convey via type-written ways. *Sigh*
And I tend to blab too much too when I'm ranting.

6/12/12 ....GAHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm so stressed out right now.

Dear friends, if you are reading this and if you're a university student. Please, don't do last minute studying if you don't want to suffer from being in an unstable state. I'm so emotional right now. I can burst out crying right now if I wanted to.

But this cycle will never end. I've been through this and yet I'm doing it again. I told myself not to be like this last semester and also the last last semester and.. well, you know the drill.

I was single back then, it was all easier. Now I'm not, I have to take care of my other half's feeling too.  Not enough time to give attention. When I'm free, he's not. When he's free, I'm not. Now, he's gone into his disappearing act after saying I didn't allocate a time for him because I was busy showering and driving me and my housemates to dinner. =.= I don't know what the hell he's doing. He's making me worried. He doesn't even want to bother telling me where he has gone to or reply me. *POOF* He's gone. He's gonna get a wallop from me very soon.

I HAVE A LAB AND A MIDTERM TOMORROW. OH GOD HELP ME!

So, it's like I haven't have the time to de-stress. Stress is now running on dual-core. *sobs*

5/12/12 Life of Pi

Cute Dr Tan Ai Hui
Woke up in time for my 8am class this morning even after yesterday's zombie night. Then went for lab session. Luckily, it wasn't that hard and the Computer Org lab is still understandable, not like the ones of Physical Electronics. 0.0 Truth is, some times some course-mates makes me mad. The instructions are already very clear to be read and understand(Well, this case doesn't happen all the time for all the labs, only SOME have really clear procedures like this one).They just need to follow the instructions on it. But some still manage to "don't know what to do" and question people some more. Are they too lazy to read or something? I annoyed actually. Especially to the ones that depend on me to do all the stuffs and takes all the work from me. "You do all, okay? I just take from you.". Walao, siao siao. You talk like that to me, you don't paiseh meh? At least you sit there and really try do it and then politely ask me to send a copy for your reference lah. Sounds much more tolerable, and I also will not be so irritated by it. Zzz.

After the lab, went to SK for brunch and Soon Fatt then invited us to catch a night movie, Life of Pi at Setia Walk . Rare for him to invite us so we agreed.
I slept for 3 hours though, once I got back home and did some of my report. Recovered back my last night's sleeping hours. I skipped my classes for that of course. Oh, sue me.


The movie is quite enchanting overall. One word to describe it. Beautiful. 
I've heard lots of recommendation for this movie, in my opinion, it's worth the money to go and watch it at the cinema. Since the animations and the scenery are really well done. It's a little bit boring, except for the bits of animal and nature part, because I'm awe-struck by how beautiful they are. 
I think the only thing that I was disappointed with is it's trailer, it doesn't really do much justice to the whole movie, because it didn't seem very appealing to me. Makes me not want to watch it. 
This movie was a 8 out of 10 for me. 

Sleep time. Goodnight.

Of Aliens and Mayans


Do you guys believe in aliens/the extraterrestrial/UFO?
I would like to say it's only a myth and it's just crazy imaginations from some random guy from how many donkey years ago. But I think I can't deny their existence anymore. 
First of all, why is alien described as some creature with a big bald slimy head, big black eyes and no nose?  There must be some kind of reason. Is it that some people have seen them before? Why some proclaim they have seen UFO flying? Or was it NASA that had created alien technology without telling the whole world? Why is Bermuda Triangle forbidden? Why is the Stonehenge created? Why are there Moai statues on the Easter Island? Why why why why why? So many unanswered mysterious.

So today, my friend started to ask me these questions suddenly during our breakfast together. He asked me if I believe in doomsday and the Mayan. He even said that maybe there's a connection between the doomsday and aliens or maybe the Gods. Maybe on that particular day, judgement will be made by the Gods aka Aliens. LOL. He told me that alien doodles actually existed since old times. Like on the cave walls and on the pyramids. 



Here are some pictures that I got from google.
I never knew that it has begun since the old days. The sightings and/or the interaction between humans and some unidentified beings. Maybe they live among us, but we don't know. Just like the "paranormal world". That is another mystery.


By the way,


According to the Mayan calendar, we're suppose to only have 18 days left to live through before "The end of the world". There's even a rumor saying that on the 21st December, there would be no Sun for three days and three nights and electricity would fail because of some alignment of The Sun, the Blackhole and The Earth. Then NASA came out and says it's a hoax. 
Honestly, I don't know the location of the Black Hole. But is it possible that the Black Hole can be between The Sun and The Earth!? Isn't Black Hole like really really big??? How can it come between the Earth and The Sun? What about the other planets? har? I don't get it. I didn't do my research before asking this also actually, so I'm just asking and blabbering without facts, excuse me. 

In my honest opinion, I don't think the Earth would have a blackout for the whole 72 hours. Even if it does, I think everyone wouldn't die....? Wait a minute, oxygen would deplete and then the trees would not take in carbon dioxide if it's dark out there. Is the oxygen sufficient for the whole human population to survive on for 72 hours?!? Plus the animals and the plants. :O Let's just hope it doesn't happen until then. I still want to get married, have babies, travel around the world and eat like a King.

My friend even think of stopping his revision for midterm right now because he wants to live his life to the fullest before doomsday comes. =.=" If it doesn't come, he would suffer a lot. Wish him best of luck in his bet. Lol. If nothing happens and I am still alive on the 1st of January year 2013, I will join in the crowd to laugh at the Mayan's joke. 

Okay, back to studying

3/12/12

My head, it swirls around so many things, it hurts. Seriously.
It's the "emo period" ady. Feel so stress and confused now. It feels like suffocation.

One midterm down, 4 to go. Assignments and lab report keeps pilling up. :(

Fear


We're afraid of things we do not know. 



1/12/12

It's December! Finally. But the weather isn't that cloudy as last year. I miss that.
Looking forward to the next few weeks. ^^ Really looking forward.

Only to you, I will show my weakness and strength. 
Only those with permission may truly love and hurt me. 
Do not come near me if you don't intend to stay at my side. 
Do not step into this circle if you intend to take something from me. 
Do not face me unless you really wish for the best of me, 
or you may lie to me till death and make sure that I will never find out about it.

Someone is in a poetic mood.

Since when am i a crybaby. I've been tearing myself even when I'm happy or sad. Pathetic. Haha.

30/11/12

FRIDAY ENDING SOON!!!

and I have ate so many things today. Keep nom nom nom nom nom nom. Not hungry, but mouth is itching to eat every second. If not, I just feel like lying down on the bed and fantasize about things and sleep. -.- Not a good way to live if we're talking about long-term. This only happens when I have to study.

oh nom nom nom nom nom.

And yes, I look like this today. At home. Where I am magnificently and incredibly beautiful as I am. 
Btw, I can't get sarcasm these days. Was it really meant to hurt me or just make me ridicule myself? Huh, whatever, I already did the latter. AHAHAHA, mere words can't hurt me!! THAT'S BECAUSE I AM GONNA.. go back to studying. 

phew phew phew phew pheeeeewww

29/11/12


Back to Shah Alam home. 

Feeling very lazy to study for midterm. Sigh. 
Will be having 3 labs and 3 midterms next week. :( 
And I haven't yet complete my study for any subject. Hurrah. 
Shyt. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. One subject for each day!?!? EHMERGERRDDD

I munch a lot when I study.
I want some seaweed popcorn right now.
Meh..

28/11/12


The first time I've ever seen so many students cramped up in the lecture hall.
So much for the "compulsory" thing, and how important this talk is to us. I didn't even know it exist until I heard my coursemate said something about serious punishment for not attending the talk. Well, all those are of course bullshits lecturers said to make sure we attend the talk. Head counts. That lady right there is very enthusiastic to make us interested in being "the leader of the future" or something something. I'm sorry, I couldn't take it, I went back home after sitting there for almost an hour. I don't think it can motivate me very well.
Although, Soon Fatt said I have missed the most interesting part of the day. Where a student was debating with the old lady right there. Aww....

True and good friends are so hard to find. Nowadays, people just like to use other people. Is that what friends are for? Seriously, I'm getting sick of some people stepping on my head. I don't even feel like bothering some people anymore. I think it's best if I just leave them alone and distance myself from them. This world is so sick. 

Boyfriend versus Friends

I'm taking a break from my slow progress of studying to doodle something and share some thoughts.


I have seen people that I know, puts their relationship waaaaay ahead of their priority list. I'm wondering which type of "friend" I am when I'm in a relationship. I used to say "bros before hoes" *well, it's kinda funny if a girl uses this phrase. Cause I don't know which one I should categorize as bros or hoes* which basically just means friends first before our other half.

During high school time, I really did put my friends first before all my ex-es. That's because I wasn't really in serious relationships back then, I couldn't find the one which I would really.. well, fall in love with. 
But this time, it's different.

Honestly, I would drop anything to spend some time with him. I would miss my fortnight trip back to my hometown. I would rather go and see him than go back to my hometown to meet with my friends. I would reject my mum's invitation to have dinner during the weekend. I would put my home-works and assignment on hold. I would drive to another state alone without the consent of my mother (driving limitation issues). Oho, I've changed so much. I didn't know I had that in me. 
Mostly, I get to spend the weekends with him when he's back to Malaysia, hmm.. maybe one or twice a month I guess when there are special occasions or so. When I got back to Cyberjaya to resume my campus life, it's like I got pulled out from my dream-like world and back to the shitty reality. I think I have read too much manga and watched too much dramas, because all of them makes me thinks that life just revolves around love and stuff but not about other things that matters also.

I digress. 

Okay, I often see girls put their love life first and then they slowly disappear from their friends. Well, because they are too "busy" for them. Most of them just last for a few months, because the relationship is still fresh. Then they become more involved with their usual friends again. But I do know worse cases that a girl can be in. When one is too attached to their other half, this happens...

"Hey, wanna have breakfast tomorrow? I haven't see you in awhile now!"
"Oh, hey. Ya, I think I can't. I have to help my mum/have to fetch my sister/have to watch over my sick dog/pet hamster died/sister's pet hamster died/pet cactus died/the sun burns my skin/etc."

"Hey wanna have dinner tonight? We should meet up, it's been ages!"
"Oh haaaaaiii! I would love to! But unfortunately I have a night curfew/dinner with family/my house stinks, I have to clean/I can't go out on a rainy night/my mum forbids me/chuchupickachu/etc."

And then moments later, a friend would come and tell you that they saw this friend going out with their boyfriend. Apparently, you are not good enough to know the truth. I wonder why some people like to hide it so much. It's not like doing anything wrong. LYING is obviously wrong.
Then on one fine day, this girl and her guy decided to break up. So, this girl starts to cry a lot and sulk everyday. Then begins to find her once close friend to make her feel better.
I don't really have a friend like that. Or I have to say, I don't count them as my friends. No. They should realize and know that they are the one who throw their friends out of their life first. They should repent and deserve the same treatment that they gave to other people. 

At least I can proudly say that I am not that kind of a person who would make up excuses and lie to my friends that I would be busy hanging out with my boyfriend. I swear I will not become one of those people. Because I believe friends are as important as our other half or even family. We spent most of our life with our friends too, so don't ever forget that fact.

26/11/12 Negative

Rushed back to Cyberjaya today from Shah Alam home. I'm so used to sleeping 8 hours plus everyday, I can't seem to focus the next day at all. My vision blurred, my mind lazy, and I just feel like eating. =.=
I skipped 3 hours worth of class today, again, the pattern of skipping classes are beginning to start again. I only skipped those class that I feel will make no difference if I were to attend to. 
Lab today.. but..
How wonderful, they waited till the last minute to inform us. Zz

Fooled around once I got home, I didn't even took a nap, I regretted that. 
Went to Puchong for dinner at Penang One, Char kuey teow is damn nice, but it is still my No. 2 fav CKT. No. 1 will always be the midnight CKT in my hometown. Oh, how I yearn for the one-hour-wait-for-ckt. Lol yeah, need to wait one hour for the order to be complete. Everytime.

Thank you SoonEn
These are delicious, I don't always eat chocolate, but lately I've been eating it a lot more than I used to. I guess I just need more happy chemical inside of me. Because I feel like shit today, -.-. Very shitty indeed. That's why this post is named "Negative".


25/11/12 Mum's Birthday


Here's a random gif I've created from my mum's birthday 

Shit, this is too small. I didn't realize it until I upload it using Gifboom. :( Why don't they have settings which I could change the size!?!
Oh, by the way, she was trying to touch her nose and then her chin with her freakishly long tongue during our Korean lunch at Daorae. 

Spent the day doing my lab report which I have to hand in tomorrow. Too bad I didn't start my studying yet. Which I should probably get started very soon because I don't want to fail my midterm test for every subject. I'm too good in finding things to do to avoid being very involve in self-studying. 

For the evening, we went to The Garden for this ride.

X-rider, 4D motion ride 
 Mum was very happy that she bought 4 tickets for RM28 from the online discount site. It normally cost RM20 per person. But if you buy 3, they'll give you one for free. That means it's RM60 for 4 people. The ride only can fit 4 people per ride, and the ride lasted for 5 minutes. There are many varieties of "movies" you can choose from, but just go with the one they recommended, because they know the rides well. I got on the ride twice. It's fun, but not sure if it's worth the RM20 though.
Oh, if you're a girl which is urm.. well-endowed, you have been warned. Because hell, I feel very uncomfortable during the ride and it itched after the ride ended. Oh, and make sure you don't eat too full before the ride! I felt a bit nausea after it too

Suckers for Peppermint mocha frapp

Cendol from Nyonya Colours @ Midvalley/The Gardens
I didn't know about the existence of this delicacy until I heard my housemate recommend it to me on one fine day when I said out loud that I have a sudden craving for cendol. Straight to Nyonya Colours when I had the chance and sat down ordered this and indulged in this sweet and delicious dessertl! It's very sweet but yet a little bitter at the end of every spoonful, I like it.

This is the best at could do at enlarging a very small gif.

Personal things, too much!

Nope, I guess I can't really express everything everyday right here. Because there's always something on my mind that I have to think about, and it's always personal, I don't feel like sharing it to the people, because I would feel "too read-ible" some how.  And some times what I think may be too emotional and might piss other people off or maybe make them uncomfortable. So, I'm not doing that either.

Besides, I'm sure that people are glad I didn't post it publicly for them to read. Some things are better left not known. I'm sure people are hiding things from me as well, and it would make me feel better if I don't know anything. And the better if I don't even know you're hiding things from me. "hide-ception"

It's getting merry in Sunway Pyramid

It's December soon.  
It's Christmas soon.
It's my birthday soon. 
It's New Year soon. 

So little time, so much to do!

Taobao Haul

Taken from my insta @joeyk2512

Finally, our taobao products have arrived! And it only took 2 weeks for these babies to be flown and delivered to our doorstep. I'm satisfied at all the products, that goes the same for my housemates too. Taobao really have many cheap stuff (especially phone covers) and there are many to choose from. *We didn't ordered those RMB1.00 one since they are TOO cheap and I'm sure the quality isn't that good too, so people, shop wisely* We bought more than these in the picture actually, but it's private and confidential. Haha. Some products are still missing though. Will have to ask the dealer again. 

I wonder why I didn't buy more covers for myself. I've noticed that I only bought one and the others were for my mum, brother, and boyfriend. -.-'

If you are interested in buying, make sure you find a good taobao agent! No, you can't buy directly from taobao because payment are made with their own currency and bank. 
In case you want to have a go with it, here's the agent we contacted - gurlzlovefashion@hotmail.com

Scam or not?

Update on 27th Dec 2012
Apparently, one of my friend did made some money from it. But that's all thanks to her big social circle and she found many downlines so it's profitable. But for my other friend, I'm afraid it's not that well for her. She's struggling to find downlines, and since many are members already, that makes it harder and more competition. She took her money back but it took at least one month and clicking on ads everyday to take earn it back. And I heard the company are changing their tactics and way of doing things so it's not so profitable and easy.
My advise is, if you have a great big circle of friends who is easy to recruit in this quick money scheme and is willing to join you to take risk then maybe you can play for awhile. Otherwise, better go take some part time jobs instead.

**************

So recently, there's this new hot thing that has been spreading around my friends. A new way to earn money fast and I can just do it in my own home. Easy right? I'll just spare 5 mins everyday to click 5 ads to earn RM5. Too easy in fact. 

But no. I don't trust these fast-money thing. Unless you know how to play the game and take the risk. I'm not a risk taker as I know I'm still a greenhorn in this "adult world". I don't know much about how the dark business world works either.
So here's some points that I like to share regarding it :

  1. You need to register as a member through your upline with RM150. Then you can start.
  2. I've done my homework. My friend who recently joined said this is a new company and this is only the first batch they have hired. But according to this, http://www.carigold.com/portal/forums/showthread.php?t=345239
    It seems like it's already begun around June 2012.
  3. When I asked about the money, it's not given to her yet since it's her first week, but the amount is stated in her (3pleA) account. Two weeks once they will pay their members via what, i do not know. 
  4. The site is just 5 months old, it's rather new. 
  5. Who is giving the money? RM1 for one click? How and why? Or do they take the RM150 registration fees from the downlines to pay for the uplines?
  6. If it's that easy to make money, why don't the people just make money clicking all the way through without recruiting members? 
  7. Have you heard any of your friends who have successfully seen the money being banked in or handed on to them?
  8. It seem's like there's not much info on the internet on 3pleA Solution except for more members doing blogpost and even posting it on forums to promote it.
  9. The site itself looks... gimmick enough for me. There's no contact number, no info about the company, not even the employer's note or blah
  10. Is it illegal or something????
  11. This recruiting member thing is done with the mouth-of-word. Suspicious?
There's just too much doubt in this fast-money scheme. Maybe it really does work, but I think it will only last for a few months before it runs away with the rest of the money. For those early members, maybe they really will make some extra incomes from this. For those downdowndowndowndownlines, well.... best of luck?

A few of my close friends are already in it, all I can say is... well.. Good luck? and run fast?

I'm inactive I know

I've been inactive for awhile again. But I'm here and there right now. I'm even back on tumblr, which do you know have very app for iPhone? Yes, I can see so many things on my phone during my classes right now. What more can I have? Another new thing that I can divert my focus during lectures. 

I'm kinda contradicting actually. 
I want my blog to be read, but I refuse to write more, because I think most of it are too personal for people to be reading. So I wrote it down in my tumblr where very very very less people know about it. So that the people I know won't have a chance to read it. But there's a little part inside of me wants to be popular blogger. Which I think, is a quite difficult task, given that... I'm too blardy negative about everything. *Turns out I'm not a very optimist person that I used to be right now*

I've also noticed the change in my blogging style from the year in my another blog, my old blog. I can like create 2-4 posts per day when I feel like it. 30 posts for December 2008, no kidding. I write what I think, what I want, what I have on my mind without caring who my readers are. Then slowly I began writing rants.. to make fun of people and their silly ways. It's enjoyable since I got many friends that would praise my "art of rants". Then I began to WANT to satisfy them instead of me by writing things for THEM and not ME. I think I've lost my way. It's not too late to turn back!

Aaaaanyway, I've decided to turn my blog into a journal. I don't care if I bore people to death cause I'm the most important audience. I like what I type, that's all I need. *muahahaha*

Physical Electronics.
Look at it. I demand you to look at the electrical, mechanical-ish and engineer-ish obscure-to-you-ordinary-people components and gadgets!!!
.....
It's not a big deal actually. They're just.... multimeters, red blue wires, and some shits you don't have to know

Here's to start things off. I'm beginning it today. *Oh, this takes me back to the first time I created a blog account* *reminisce reminisce* 

Today was a very busy day. Because of the labs and lectures I have to go to. I don't even have time to eat until we finished the lab session. 4pm for my lunchner (lunch + dinner). I'm so taken aback of the fact that I went for lectures. I used to skip most of the classes, it's a pattern, after midterm, I'll disappear like a shadow. But the lecturers for the subjects I took are not bad, so I guess that's what changed my mind. Nahz, I lied, honestly, I read Naruto in class when it's boring. That's what keep me awake, or else I'll doze off in class.
babi weh, 11am till 7pm non-stop sial...

Came back from from class dilly dally here and there. Home is where I can do anything except studying. Oh, I accidentally dyed half of my new polyester blouse and a white shirt with bleh. *Cries* I only wore the blouse once weh. Now it's contaminated with blue blotches. Goddamnitstupidme. 

Bah, it's 12am now, I guess it's time for me to hit the bed and wake up for tomorrow's 8am class! 
Goodnight.

The difficult stage

I can only express myself truly right here. Because I don't like to be ignored when I'm talking to a person. It's like talking to a wall. It's useless. But in my blog, I'm talking to myself. I write it down and I listen to myself. To realize things that I don't realize once i truly express it down. I don't care who reads it or who doesn't reads it. But if you're the one that I'm saying and you're reading this, I guess that will be better for me too.

... I didn't think it would be this difficult... I know this day will come sooner or later. It's normal to have a couple of small fights in a relationship. It's the beginning of these "patterns" for me now. Let me describe it in a few words.

  • Frustrating
  • Upsetting 
  • Confusing
  • and Suffocating

Not everyone is perfect. I know. Relationship is about compromising. I admit, it's hard for me to express my feelings out, this is not a new thing for me. I am THAT kind of person. It's not like *snap finger* I can become a different person that straightaway catch what someone is saying and know what to say in return at the same time.

I've been told too many times, I should change. Because I'm too ignorant. I'll admit it myself, it's true, I'm ignorant because I used to think those things aren't gonna be much help for me since I don't like it or I don't care what happens to it. When we grow up, everything changes. Whatever shit you also must know. So next time you can easily talk and socialize with people. So, we wouldn't be left out. This is for a better change right? Right. The world is sick I tell ya, must please everyone. I'm not a people-pleaser some more. It's not easy! But it's possible.
Me? I'm a pessimist you see. And I'm very protected since I was a kid. I don't even know how to take a bus by myself seriously. That's why I don't like to go out on my own to explore the world. The idea of "going out alone" is like a forbidden action. I think this is how our brain tends to interpret something from what we learn at a younger age.
I'm trying to be a better person, please give me time and support. Not aimlessly shooting me and what-not nonsense. I don't need it. That will make me more depressed, it's not a motivation (not for me at least).

Next point,
I must really emphasis on this. This is what ticks me off most of the time.
When you have a particular thing you don't specifically like about a person, don't beat around the bush or even ask the person to figure it out himself.

Why?

Point number 1.
The person himself might not notice or figure what he/she may did wrong, since he/she is accustomed to it. For example, if a person said "This is too sweet" regarding a food, person A will interpret "Really? Maybe I should try it myself to check and see if it's too sweet" and person B will interpret "I guess she don't like sweet stuff". You see, different people have different brains. You CAN'T expect a person to think the same as you.

Point number 2.
If he/she doesn't understand what he/she did wrong, how the hell can one know what one must do?
People are not psychic! Unless you somehow can split into two and two of you understand each other! Not even I understand myself, please don't expect two different person to understand each other with just eye-contact.

Point number 3
If you don't plan to end what you say then please, don't say it at all. It puzzles the other person to try and figure it out. While you sitting there, frustrated at the other person. It's a lose-lose situation. Please stick to the rules of finishing what you said  if you started it. Like I said, no two brains are the same.

EGO is also a very terrible thing. This is the biggest problem. Nobody wants to raise the white flag. But I don't think there is ever a winner in an argument. It's either two of them loses, or two of them wins.
If you don't try to understand each other, don't bother trying to ask your partner to fix themselves up because it's selfish. If you're willing to listen and understand what your partner is saying... I call that rare. But it's there, you just have to find it.

I remember someone saying "Communication is two ways". But all I see is when he's talking, I'm denying. When I'm talking, he's not listening. How?
I don't get it seriously. But at last, I reflect on my own actions after that and keep it all to myself. But when I say something, how come you choose to flip out on me and then ignore me? I can't say you're wrong, is it? Who's not listening now?

I thought loving someone is about accepting their goods and bads. But what's happening when "change" is needed. It's not easy, but maybe "changes" will solve the problem. It's kinda conflicting, don't you think?


Should we change for the purpose of being more tolerable to the person you love?
OR 
Should we accept the person you love for who he/she is? Even if it's annoying.


Whatever the answer is, I'm still very hurt right at this moment.

You shouldn't wash your jeans

I've heard this a long time ago, that jeans should not be wash as often as we think. I never really think much about that statement. But I used to wash my jeans after every wear and then gradually change to a week once.



In these few days, I got more curious about caring for jeans because I've bought a lot of colorful jeans from Kitschen recently. It's crazy cheap! But I'm not sure if it's like... the real jeans material. I know jeans aren't cheap, so I'm doubting it... Okay, I'm sure those cheap ones are fake, because some of mine has like.. little cotton-ish thing coming out. *bahaha* All together the more that I shouldn't wash them as much as I thought I should.
I decided to ask my family and friends about it. Apparently, my mum didn't even know that jeans shouldn't be washed that much. She even asked me "Isn't it dirty if you didn't wash them after you wear them for a day??", I honestly couldn't answer her anything, cause I don't even know the true way to care for them. Then I asked my friends. They said they don't wash their jeans unless they got dirty or if they smelled funny. 6 months without washing is okay they said! For me, 6 months..... wow, too long. Very dirty.

Then I asked Mr. Google. These are what I got from all of the sources I've read.


First of all, for hygienic purpose, it is common sense to wash the clothes we bought first before we wear them right? (I don't do this but if it's underwear then I would wash it first lah of course) For jeans, you can rinse it with COLD WATER and put it inside out and lay them flat to dry. You can also choose to hang them upside down too like in the picture above. It is best to dry them naturally without any heat source as it would damage the jeans material. No sun light of course.
How to lay flat to dry? I also don't know, but click the question. I've put a link of Yahoo Answers. But I guess it's basically means do not hang them as it will stretch the clothes.

Secondly, do not wash it ever again....
I'm serious. Lol. It is said that jeans should not be washed if possible. If it smells, you can just let them air dry them for awhile or even use an odour eliminating spray.
But if you choose to wash them, it is best to wash them the first time after 6 months (minimum) of wearing them using as less soap as possible, or even no soap at all. Remember to turn it inside out. Do not use biological washing powder that contains enzymes though. Don't tumble dry. Hang them in shady spot where fresh air is flowing.

There are other ways of washing them too. I'll just quote them here. This is taken from http://blog.denimgeek.com/denim-care-guide/
A little known Japense method recommends taking a bath in your jeans after a few months of wear.  After around 90 days of wear, jump in a lukewarm bath with your jeans on and use a scrubbing brush to create a colour fading effect.
A third method known as the ‘reverse technique’ involves wearing your jeans after you have washed them.  To try this, prepare water in a bucket between 30c and 40c and steep your jeans in it for 1-2 hours, making sure the jeans are fully submerged. If you like, you can add a table spoon of salt or vinegar to the water. Afterwards, take the jeans out of the bucket, and wash inside out at 40c without washing agents. Dry the jeans and wear! Using this technique, you should look to undertake your second wash after around 6 months of wear.
There's more info in the link above. If you like to know more, then you're free to research on your own. :D But I guess asking a denim lover friend also works too.

After reading all of the info I got from jeans care, I realized I have done too many things that I shouldn't with my jeans. I put them all in the washing machine with A LOT of detergent. I even tumble dry them then hand them normally to dry under the sunlight. So it's getting looser and looser. No wonder. I am therefore never washing my denims that much anymore after this. Haha.

One thing that I learned not to do also.
Please do not attempt to smell anyone's jeans unless it's yours.... Otherwise... uek. 

Back to Reality

I changed my layout again! This time, back to blogger's. As it's easier for me to manage and well... less... complicated. And I like the background. At least now it's simple and the font are easier to read. It's not the size 10 font and it won't hurt your eyes while you're reading anymore! *Hurrah!*
And on the other hand, I don't have to deal with the html codes for decorating complicated shits anymore because I'm lazy like that. About few years ago, I asked myself to make an effort to go and learn some website coding via W3Schools Online Web Tutorials...

And obviously, I failed miserably.
Happy ever after.
The end.

I went full out crazy after I finished my exam. 3 weeks of holiday for me and I took an additional week off..... Week one only maaaa, sap sap water lah..
It's a new trimester now, but it doesn't change the fact that I can still sleep in class. -.- Bravo.
A short update to what I did during those 4 weeks.
