Serve you right bugger

August 29, 2007 - 1:50 am - Posted by cereal87

For the past few weeks, got this 1 stupid inconsiderate people keep blasting musics during odd hours. I think he just maxed out his bass, coz I can actually trace from where d bass come from. He is staying right under my unit and the room is below my unit. The 1st time, I know this coz the main door was left open, so I can easily just go check.

But he is an smart ass. He closed his main door this time. So nothing can be heard from outside, unless you have Superman’s ears. So, how did I found out. Thanks to my half deaf right ear, it is actually sensitive to loudness, it just cant interpret frequency correctly, thus effectively disabling the ability to hear speech or musics. I was frustrated, thus I decided to go out and check for the source, the moment I stepped out from my room, I noticed there’s a variation in the loudness. So I did a simple experiment. I stepped into the room again. Its louder. So I put my right ear on the fall walls. The bass can be clearly heard from all 4 walls. Went out to randomly check the walls around the living room and noticed the bass were very minimum. Gotcha, it must be from the same area of my room, but which floor? I kneel down to hear the loudness around the walls, then grabbed a chair to hear around the upper part of the walls. Bottom side louder. That narrow my searches down. I decided to hear around the floors. I know the floors a bit dirty, but I just frustrated, so i just have to do it. I can clearly hear some techno or rave musics. I think its the same bugger again. I went down, knocked at the grilled door. The house mate came out, the same that greeted me last time. It wasn’t him coz the last time I saw him went somewhere inside the house, heard door knocking and telling his house mate to lower the bass. But this time, after telling him to lower the bass, he went in to the house, so I also went back to my unit. On my way up on the stairs, I saw him with a frustrated face rushing out from the house. Lol… i guess he must be pissed of or frustrated with the housemate, some more I go complain again.

Back in my room, I can still hear the bass, so I decided to disturb his moment of pleasure and prevent him from orgasming with his stupid maxed bass speaker. I fired up my iTunes, unplugged all my satellite  speakers and lay my bass driver flat on the floor. I guess you know what I am going to do already. Fight fire with fire. lol… You are almost right, but 1 thing, I am not going 2 blast my precious speaker. I set the volume to about a quarter, bass level slightly above quarter, and played Tokyo Drift from iTunes. Sound travel well in solid. Concept applied. Lol… Thanks to Eugene, he had tuned my iTunes to deliver a solid bass from my speaker, instead of the overloaded bass like that bugger 1. Thus the foreign bass introduced by me from another song must have disrupted his hearing pleasure because after a while, he stopped his music. Lol… you got served!!! It doesn’t matter what speaker you use, my speaker still pawn you. Its how you use it, not how you maximise it.

My predicaments, good or bad luck?

August 28, 2007 - 11:46 pm - Posted by cereal87

Gah, thanks to my bro, I lost my RedIce. I have been in bad luck for the past 1 week. 1st, my magnetic bracelet snapped off during my law class. Beads rolling on the floor. I already think its a sign of bad luck. Previously, I also had a tiger eye bracelet on my left hand. Ever since I lost it, my temper increased like no body’s business. I have big problem keeping my head straight. I lost it just 1 day before my birthday.

Back track to this magnetic bracelet, on the same day it came off, that nite, i found a 10 cents coin faced down(tail up). I thought it is a lucky one. But baby told me its bad luck. Few days later, I found a 10 cents coin, facing up. This time lucky?  And today, another 10 cents coin facing up. I found it laying on the pathway in front the Cyberia guard house.

Back to the phone issue, last nite, I went out to meet Stephen, he  agreed to help me pick up my bro’s UPS from Lowyat. It is back from warranty. So I need to pass the warranty bill to him. Zoom back to earlier this month, I was supposed to go to PC Fair on Saturday, however, due to his carelessness (he gave me the UPS earlier, sent for warranty, but came back to me unfixed coz he didn’t include everything in the box), I have to go to the PC Fair in KLCC on Sunday and carry the UPS again to PC Fair before meeting him (I am from Cyberjaya and he is coming from Melaka), and proceed to Lowyat again with whatever shit he forgotten. We took the Kl Monorail to BB. BTW, few days earlier, I told my bro that if he have to pass the shit to me, I will meet him on Sunday. But my dad called me and gave me a good nag, for about 30 minutes, nagging me to meet my bro on Sunday. He even mentioned about set proper appointment. I already told my bro just give me a call when u at KLCC. Whats so hard about that. Come on la, he already 18 years old and should learn to survive and take care his own ass. Scared he got lost in KL? FYI, that was the 1st time I had actually traveled down to KLCC and BB on my own using public transport and I managed it well. Its not like I am trying to make him a loser, but heck, when are you going 2 stop living under my shadow (he rode on my fame during primary & secondary school. We hailed from the same school). All these while I depend on my friends for transportation to BB. Aren’t me at a higher risk of danger? From Cyberjaya to Putrajaya Central, to KL Central, lrt to KLCC, then to BB. Its known that our public transports are relatively safe, but the transit points have high risk of pick pocket and these pick pockets can do anything on you. He only need to arrive KLCC straight from MMU Melaka. Its just a stupid point to point travel.

When we reached BB Plaza, I gone sesat for a while, coz I somehow can’t remember where the Bulan Entrance (the entrace that faces lowyat Plaza) is located. I made a good 2 round on the ground floor to look for it. He can’t even offer some help at all. We came this place a lot of times before, he should do something smart enough to save the trouble. But he just act like a little puppy follow me up and down. Lucky for me I remembered where the directory is located, so I went to look for it. I found the Bulan Entrance. Its on the below floor. There we go. Go down BB plaza, cross the road to Lowyat Plaza, go up and find All IT Hypermart and he managed to sent his thing for warranty. Then proceed to get a replacement for my fried graphic card. On the way down to the food court (after all those shit, I am hungry already), the escalator was blocked by a couple. He murmured something like excuse me, which I barely able to hear, and just knocked over the girl. The girl, also being a bitch, scream out something like, Ha, already knocked people, dunno how to say sorry. My brother replied, you were blocking my way. To me both are just stupid. One is a bimbo that trying to create a scene, another is a stooge that don’t know how to ask politely. I scolded him, why can’t you just ask nicely, even if you need to ask a second time. What happen if the bf pounded you? All you have is just your skeletal appearance.  Just like an earthworm trying to act like a dragon.

Come back to yesterday, when I met Stephen, I brought my RedIce out. Then I came back and did some stuff. Later then I realized my phone is no longer with me. I gave some good calls, I think more than 10 times, all gone into voicemail. Confirm la I lost the phone and someone found it and had replaced the sim.

Today, after all those shitty day in classes, I went to library. While I was on my laptop, suddenly I overheard my phone sms tone. Mind you, the tone is unique. I had also set my phone volume to maximum, so If it wasn’t silent, which it didn’t, coz like half the library can hear the tone. I rose up from my seat, grabbed my phone and placed a distress call to baby(she is on the other end of the lib and it took her a damn good 3 minutes to reach me as if the library is that huge) to meet me at the lib entrance. I tried to spot anyone with a red coloured phone. Within the half minute is the most crucial time, coz that bugger may just pull up his phone to read the sms. But however, luck was not with me, I didn’t spotted it. I just went back to my seat, to arrange my stuff and decided to go back home. Baby went on on her futile hope to spot for the phone. 3 mins already passed, I had created a scene in the library by screaming on the phone for you, even that bugger can notice it. For sure he/she will hide the phone away. Common sense! Logic! Hope is nothing if it is based on assumption of success for a future failure event.

Actually after sending that damn UPS for warranty, I had decided not to help him anymore. He is a jinx to me. Because of him I always get into deep shit, get nagged by my parents, even in school last time the teachers haunt me to ask for details or busy body about my brother., telling me this and that about him I don’t give a damn care about him as long he don’t stand in my way. Not like I don’t like him, even as a small kid, I never really bonded well with him. He always cried for no apparent reason or for very very small non-particular reason and after that, I will get scolded and canned for bullying him. If I did, I will stand proud to receive the punishment. But I was punished for something I didn’t do. Then when my sister came into our life, he always bully her and made her cry. I have to settle the shit of comforting my sister and make sure she stop crying. if my dad around and if he get pissed off, I will get scolded again. Why does he has to leave the shit around and I have to clean it.

Even until now, there are things at home that he just didn’t bother to do. I really pissed when I went back for my semester break and he already finished his SPM. All he did bothered is upgraded his comp so he has more than 600++mb worth ram and start staring at the screen for animes and games. I had to do the cooking(helping mum when she is tired or when she coming back late). He only bother boiling the rice early so he can have his dinner early thus enabling him to catch his dunno what stupid show on the tv. I had to do the laundry (if i lazy, mum will do, sometimes my sis will help). Although I am not bounded to do the ironing, I did it. Then I still have to do other house chores. All he need to do is just fill his stomach everyday and stick his ass on the chair and glue his eye on the monitor. What a good son. Never feel the sacrifices that the parents had made and try to help them. Mind you, are parents are not young and energetic 20++ youth. They are nearing the age of retirement. Give them more time for themselves instead of robbing of time from them for our own selfish benefits.

i still remembered our conversation thru msn, he got jealous coz I bought a new laptop since I already owned a desktop. Some more within the same month I upgraded my ram and bought a new graphic card. What kind of stupid jealousy is that? I didn’t ask for things or buy things for fun. 1st, my graphic card got burned. Thus I needed a replacement. I just bought an entry level graphic card (Sapphire HD2400 XT 256mb GDDR) that enough  is just enough for my graphic needs. When I say graphics, I doesn’t only involve gaming. I do do graphics and a bit of 3D modelings. Self interest. But I am still not good at it. I just lack of free time to practice, but sometimes I just do my practice and practical together, ie, when I need the graphic to be done for some event or assignment, I will have to make use of the knowledge I have and trial and error. Besides, I do appreciate high quality movies, thus an HD graphic card will be a good option. I know not may people will care about high quality images, this includes moving visual (movies, animation) and still visual(photos, still art, any visual that doesn’t move). But I just care about how detailed the qualities are. Then the ram, i only had 512mb before this, which makes rendering graphics very time consuming. Thus an additional of 512mb paired in dual channel mode will shave some of the time. Not to mention some CAD or simulation software also eat a lot of ram. Its only 1gb of ram and I still don’t think graphic wise, my desktop is performing well. For the laptop, I do do assignments, presentation and I make use of the library well. Thus a laptop for me to lug around in campus, benefiting from the wi-fi will definitely help me a lot since I can do my assignment almost anywhere, including library, check for details if suddenly needed to, or even to manage my event.

New Lappie Dell Inspiron 1420 + Busy week

August 26, 2007 - 9:13 pm - Posted by cereal87

Actually I received this unit 3 days ago. But been busy prepping for exam on Wednesday and doing my assignment besides having some personal issues (will blog about it too later) had left me very little time. I will blog more on the lappie later. Last week was very busy, even my weekend was not sparred. I had basic first aid training on one day and the other day was the test. Things just getting busier and I think this week I will be more busy than a bee. Most probably I am flying back Sabah next week for the Desa IT @ Sabah surveying ‘project’. Thus this week I have to finish up any assignments I have left and get myself organized before shit happens as I will be absent for about a week. Better finish up early than be sorry and sacrificing all the sleep just to meet all the due dates.

I want to go to Melaka for merdeka celebration!!!

August 23, 2007 - 2:01 am - Posted by cereal87

Hmm… gah… there goes my plan. My DesaIT @ Sabah requested me 2 accompany him on 3rd Sept to Sabah to do the area survey. It is meant to identify which part or area suitable to implement our project. I think I know the reason, it is always the budget. lol… when you have a Sabahan, you can bank on getting a place to stay in Sabah. I don’t really mine as long my trip back to KK and coming back here is paid. But, if I sense I am or abused merely just for a place to stay and my expertise is not needed, big chance I will bail out.

There goes my trip to Melaka on the night of 30th August. I can go and come back on 31st. But heck, I can’t  use up too much money. I’m controlling my budget now. besides if I go Melaka, lets say on the 31st, ticket finished or I decided to come back on the 1st of September, I will be mentally & physically tired. I can’t put my full attention on the survey. Besides trip going back on the plane is not fun. Its boring and tiring. Yes, by just sitting I can feel tired because I’m restless when I am bored.

Save Our Sumatran Rhinos

August 18, 2007 - 4:27 am - Posted by cereal87

This is a community message brought to you by ian.Tam

Sumatran Rhinos is one of the only 5 species of rhinos is that still walking on Earth today. It is only found in Asia. It is Malaysia’s most endangered species and world’s most endangered rhino species. Some interesting facts about this Sumatran Rhinos:

  • It is the smallest amongst the 5 species of rhinos still alive today.
  • But it has the most fur. Helping it to survive in high altitude especially in the Sumatra.
  • Female Sumatran Rhinos get pregnant for 400 days!!! That’s more than a year. Human only about 40 weeks (9 months).

Forestation and poaching activities have lead to the rapid declination in Sumatran Rhinos population.  According to International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data List), the major threats to their extinction are:

  • Habitat Loss/Degradation - Extraction - Wood
  • Habitat Loss/Degradation - Infrastructure development - Human settlement
  • Harvesting (hunting/gathering)

Under the Red List Sumatran Rhinos has been marked as critically endangered. Red List status: CR A1bcd, C2a. Despite being big and have two horns and the furious look, this rhino is a herbivore.

There has been effort to prevent further extinction of this species, but limited. As part of Honda’s environmental commitment, Honda Malaysia has partnered with WWF-Malaysia launched the ‘Rhino Rescue’ project; Save Our Sumatran Rhinos. It is supported by Perhilitan, Perak States Corporation, Sabah Wildlife Department and Yayasan Sabah Group. The project focuses on Danum Valley in Sabah and Royal Belum State Park in Perak.

Show your support by telling your friends and putting up a logo on your site or blog. Would you want you future generations to see this creature live? For me, if I will have kids, I want them to see this horny creature in real life, not in the glass enclosed cubicle in Sabah State Museum nor those stupid flash animated stuff.

Get your logo here, NOW!!!.
