http://www.geocities.com/org32b ... where technology and geeks unite en-us http://www.geocities.com/org32b/#220903 Okay . That's it . I have made my decision in my life . I won't care the damn about love , and girls . I am to made a stand here . I will continue to be a geek and continue to devote my life towards computing ... http://www.geocities.com/org32b/#220903 It has been nearly a month since I touched the blog . There were too many sad things that happened a month ago , had a roller-coaster relationship with Yin Wei , and life's has never been easier . Quite stressful these days . Tonnes of assignments cramped me up until I can't move any inch longer .... http://www.geocities.com/org32b/#290903 College life has once again take over my free time . I asked for it , and I've got it . It's a bit different this time since we had our first class a 4pm . Data Structures and Algorithms was the first lecture and Mr.Loh was our lecturer . He's a funny guy , though . It's nice knowing him . He can't stop cracking out jokes, and it feels so good to get back to C one again . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/#280903 Today , I've cracked one of life's unsolved mysteries . It has haunted me for the past 19 years , and yet I still don't know what was happening . Some people might know what this was , it happened to most of the people , only that they thought it's sometimes very scary . The word "sleep paralysis" might trigger something in your brain now . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/260903.html Yin Wei called me yesterday telling me that the timetable has finally out , and wondered if I would join her to get the rest of it the following day .... http://www.geocities.com/org32b/240903.html "Know yourself and know thy enemy , you won half the battle knowing your enemy ..." http://www.geocities.com/org32b/230903.html ORG today has finally been added to The Great Malaysian Blog list . Just trying to add some traffic to ORG since our blog still didn't gain much popularity . But it's okay . It's our own world . There's much things to talk about ourselves .... http://www.geocities.com/org32b/210903.html Some people have said that , even though we have such a state-of-the-art telecommunications technology , Humans still can't express themselves or communicate very well . Ironic , isn't it ? We have GSM technology , now GPRS , we have the Internet , we can transmit our voice and our image at the speed of light . It is like we can get to the person that we want to express something to , seemlessly .This is particularly true about what happened to me last night . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/190903.html Guess what ? Our blog has finally been listed as no.1 on the search engine .... http://www.geocities.com/org32b/180903.html Today I stayed at home most of the time , since Simon was kind of busy today , and he had something to do at Sungei Wang , so it's better not to disturb him. Nothing happened much today , and I did some little research on array sorting techniques with C . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/170903.html Guess what ? Today's my 19th birthday ... How I've grown !! I just made it simple this year .. I dated Yin Wei and Phui Yee today for a trip to KLCC , since I haven't been there for almost 2 months . Traffic is a bit nasty today . I reached Ampang LRT station 10 minutes later than expected . I ended up getting the girls to wait for me . Gosh !!! http://www.geocities.com/org32b/160903.html Finally , we have reached to an end of Metal Gear Solid 2 : Sons of Liberty . We stopped at the part where I was in the torture chamber . Yeah .. a bunch of craps cracked out during this scene . Solidus said that he picked up Raiden as the best soldier , since childhood . Olga then came and free myself from the eerie place , and I was then left naked . It's kind of funny , though , running around naked like a mad man .... http://www.geocities.com/org32b/150903.html We continued the game a bit later today because Dad wanted me to look for some info regarding language courses at a particular language center . It is almost 2:10pm when I reached Simon's place . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/120903.html Yeah , I'm back into action . I went to Simon's house a bit later today since he wanted to sleep longer . His sister opened the door for me since he's in the bathroom . We continued playing as soon as he took out his PS2 from his bedroom . Where did I stop ? oh , yes ! The "Big Shell" story . So far , Solid Snake is currenty "sleeping with fishes" right now , and the story begins with a quote . I was first informed that the terrorists have took over Big Shell, and threaten to blow it up if their demands were not met . They said that if the Big Shell is blown up , it will create the worst environmental disaster in human history . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/110903.html It's September 11 today , and it has been already 2 years since the 9/11 incident . Coincidentally , It's mooncake festival today . To remember the September 11 incident, I played Metal Gear Solid 2 : Sons of Liberty with Simon today , and I'm very very satisfied . Set in New York , the game is mostly about disarming the terrorists' plan of world domination . Hideo Kojima was such a geek !!! Because the main theme of this game is more to privacy issue on the I.T. age and Genetic issue , the intro movie has a bunch of C source codes flying around the screen as well as the double-helixes , which we normally known as the DNA molecule structure . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/100903.html Yippie !!! The exam is over and I can finally catch some breath . Phew !! That was hot !!!! Of course , I will start my plans ASAP , no delays . First stop, Simon's house . I guessed my dreams have came true . I can finally experience Metal Gear Solid 2 : Sons Of Liberty , with of course , Simon , at the comfort of a couch . We are die-hard fans of these kind of genre , I mean those special forces game , military stuffs . They looked cool in dark suits . Most of all , Solid Snake !!!! The hero of the show . No more nightmares for me ... it's true . I'm not dreaming and I'm doing it tomorrow , 1000 hours . I will keep you all updated with a daily scoop , until we accomplished our mission ... . Roger and out . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/110903.html To : Melvin Lai http://www.geocities.com/org32b/040903.html First , it was SMS , then it's MMS . Yes , the MMS phenomenon has finally arrived here at our beloved Malaysia . When DiGi ( formerly known as Mutiara Telecommunications ) launched its MMS service early this month , it has been the latest buzzword . I'm not so sure about its popularity now , but I felt that it's still at its infancy now . Usage costs is still blood-sucking and worst of all , you need an MMS-enabled cellphone to fulfill the first requirement . I believed that most of the teenagers are dying to have this tech , and the first one to get this would be proud to show off his/her gadgetry . Me ? I'm quite happy with my 3310 and it does almost what I needed most . Well , it might change if my dad suddenly buys me a MMS-enabled phone . That's another story . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/040903.html Ahhh...the piece of technology that everybody seem to cannot live without... the often forgotten and neglected piece of object that has aided humans while navigating in the digital world of a computer system, the peripheral with a tail extended to either a PS/2 or a serial or USB port -- I am talking about, the mouse. Why such a topic? You might wonder. But it's becoming a nuisance to me. When such a device is used alone at home at a workstation, the mouse often becomes a best friend. But that doesn't mean mice can be 100% friendly when they come in a pack, or a herd, or whatever you want to call them as a huge group. The problem is, I often visit the computer lab at my school, and whenever I spend my time there I am subjected to a very unsuspecting sound pollution -- the collective combination of clicking sounds which seem to bounce off the wall and echo in my ears. In clearer terms, imagine having 20 people around you using the mouse at the same time clicking rapidly. The sound is relentless! Sometimes, I think I have headaches because of this condition. The problem is, everybody just keeps on clicking their way; to the point that i actually wonder if they did it on purpose, but they're not obviously. The point here is, are people relying more and more on the beast-under-the-mouse-skin peri device and that people are becoming more lazy and lazy to use their fingers and type instead of just pointing and clicking? I wonder. It's funny to know that the only noise you'd hear in a computer lab is not the noise made by the user themselves, but the noise of clicking mice. Ironically, the keyboard is neglected, forgotten, unappreciated. Probably because of all this, I purposefully refrain myself from using the mouse whenever possible, in a seemingly futile attempt to reduce the rate of mouse-clicks sound pollution in the computer lab. I'd rather use the tab key more often to navigate around web pages and only access certain links with the mouse whenever i had to. I miss text-based web browsing. It's truly blissful to be in a text-only environment, like 'emacs -nw'; it's just elegantly simple to have a familiar interface to interact with the system, without the bells and whistles of so called modern GUI-interface oriented computing "experience". http://www.geocities.com/org32b/030903.html Once again , I woke up in a wonderful morning facing the day . Today was filled with journeys , which gave me a lot of realisation . It was funny , though . I was a bit confused which bus to take when heading to Joan's place . I missed 3 of the buses that she told me to hop on , but after all , I managed to take one , and enjoyed the ride . It's true that I've never visited KL area near Jalan TAR and Jalan Raja Laut . People said that the place is a bit complicated , so I didn't use to go there . Seriously speaking , this is the first time I learn where Jalan Raja Laut is . I used to listen about this street , but didn't have a chance to have a peek on the location . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/290803.html Today starts my first paper for my sem.4 paper . English starts first , and did I mentioned English ? Gosh ! It feels like vomitting !! It's kind of boring that I need to write countless essays for exams since form 1 . The questions are okay . I've drank too much before the paper commences . When the invigilator let us go out from the exam hall , the next thing I knew is that , I've landed myself in the toilet ... What a day !! Met with Joan , Chai Boon , Hueg Yin , Brother Kit , Chee Sum , and Bernard today . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/260803.html When the final exam drew nearer , it tells me once again that , "There goes another semester , Mun Yau ... " . Time seemed to be moving faster than mankind could ever imagine . Semester 4 seemed to be so short . I'm glad that I went through it and let bygones be bygones . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/300703.html I've changed, in many ways, over the past fortnight -- into something even baffles myself. I feel this strange force building up in me, gravitating me towards excitement or some quaint and unknown expectation that something is going to happen. Yes, different I've become, and I love that feeling. It's as if I've sold my soul to the Devil or something, i don't know. But it feels good, too good at some point till I feel like fainting. But right now it's under control, I could handle it, but I might explode into this huge 'ejaculation' God knows when, but I'm sure glad if it happens. And no, i've not been popping pills or smoking pot, if you're getting it wrong. What I'm experiencing is much more better than that, is like I'm tantric or sumthing. http://www.geocities.com/org32b/270703.html As the saying goes in the movie "Forrest Gump" , 'Life is like a box of chocolate ... you never knew what you will get' . I was pretty surprised when a mysterious girl came into my life last Friday . She really freaked me out when she told me that I'm attractive to her . Huh ?!?!?! A geek like me is attractive to a girl ? That's really strange . I haven't saw her before , and she wanted to make friend with me . So far , the only information I got from the girl is that , she's a second year accounting student . Not much detail until now , but it still won't bother me that much . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/160703.html What you don't know might kill you. That's what people says. But do they actually understand those words? I mean, people say things, I say things, but most of the time, they're just bullsh*t, never mind the language, of course. What can I say? Everybody gotta go to school, learn things, learn shits about life, stuffs that are often more depressing than taking drugs or -- killing somebody brutally. No, I'm kidding. Don't take anything seriously when it's output from my wide gaping mouth. No, I don't talk with a gaping mouth of course. Seriously, I'm not complaining, but complains aside, I think that my real problem really is the complete lack of time to accomodate so many things. I know this sounds like a universal problem that everyone eventually has, but, school, in my opinion, is a complete waste of time. Sure, you need school for certs and degrees and all the stupid accreditation, but the real education is far from at hand; it's eternity from our hands. Learn nothong from school but shits. Let the latter resound in your head, and soon, you'll believe it too, think about it deeply, think like you've never thought deep before, let it sink into your mind and blend in in. If you don't get that, you seriously need professional help, a psychotherapist maybe, or a serial murderer. http://www.geocities.com/org32b/140703.html Today comes week 9 where things are getting serious . Today I started my first day as a helper for the blood donation drive . Woke up a bot earlier today , since I'm trying my best to finish up 16 hours of duty by this week , with the hope that I get my 2 credit hours as soon as possible . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/110703.html Finally , dad drive me to campus today . This means , I can sleep longer and do much work than usual . I love life !! I was able to watch CFH today , at last . It's been such a long long time since I watched CFH last time . Leo Laporte had been so humble . He's able act out another character in CFH . Leo rocks ! In the meantime , the Mac Tip montage has changed too . Well , Brett Larson is always been funny , after all . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/100703.html Aaahh.. felt refreshed , at last ! Even though I slept at 12am last night , but , I guessed that worth it . As long as I finished my work , I'm satisfied with it . Calculus test is on today . Anyway , things running pretty smooth today , question's nice , although ambiguity arised when answering the questions , well ,it just kind of well . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/090703.html Yes . I woke up again this morning and life resumed once again after 9 hours of sleep . Still not feeling so satisfied yet . Feels like sleeping longer . But study is still study . Can't deny it . But after all , I was asleep three hours ago , due to fatigue .... http://www.geocities.com/org32b/080703.html I was quite fascinated today , when I checked out PARC's website via TechTV | The Screen Savers' website regarding its latest project on 'next-generation' Data-Glyph encryption . Their ideas are fantastic. I mean , even though the document is nearly destroyed , but it is still possible to retrieve the data woven within the "/"s and "\"s . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/070703.html Phew ... back to blogging , at last . Fatigue and exhaustion stopped me from blogging after a day in college . Many things had already passed . OO nite's over , although I'm still has some feeling of disatisfaction , mid term tests are creeping around nowadays and presentations and assignments flying around waiting for the coming due date which is around the corner . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/030703.html Does anybody around here feel sick and tired of Windows' defacto editor -- Worpad/Notepad? Or is it just me feeling that way? Well, I know Notepad isn't the king of all editors, but it does get some pretty simple work done. That is all to it. But I wanted more, I wanted specific syntax highlighting for certain languages without sacrificing the lightweight feel of Notepad. I know there are tons of IDEs out there that'd make me happy, but they're usually huge and heavy and are probably memory animals. Features like undo and redo is also what i'm looking for, and hopefully the editor could integrate some external compilers for easy development. I didn't actually start out on the Net to look for an editor, but while I was just perusing some of my favourite sites I bumped upon the enigmatic Vi (pronounced vee-eye) editor. For those who have crossed over to or has always been in the GNU/Linux world, this is a no surprise application. In fact, I myself have been using it for some time when I first crossed over to Linux. I love that editor the most, with so much features in it I could hardly use them all. The learning curve is almost equivalent to f(x) = n, where n is any real number, meaning that it's super easy to use. It didn't occur to me before that there was a port for Win32, but soon after I headed to vim.org to find out more about the port and download it. In less than five minutes I finished installing Vim on my system and was feeling like I was back home again. In truth, I was feeling a little stupid for not knowing that there was a port for Windows all the while. I could've found out much earlier. But I'm glad that I did now. The Win32 port still retains the most part of the original GNU version of Vim and it works fast and has all the stuffs that I want. I couldn't be happier. http://www.geocities.com/org32b/290603.html Here's a nice lil article every "enlightened" geeko who's not under the claws of Micro$oft, should read. It's a fine read. [Open Source vs. M$] http://www.geocities.com/org32b/270603.html I'd like to make a confession that's long overdue. There's something that I am very much embarrased to admit but I am also extremely happy about it, ironically, at the very same time. Nobody would believe it, yes, I've officially turned into a drama queen, fresh, for about two weeks now. I've fallen into the temptation of a drama series so good, i even dreamt about it in my dreams. The series is the much fabled "Six Feet Under", an original series produced by HBO. It's now running on channel 40 of Astro, the encore of the first season is now showing and is about to end sometime next week, followed by the second season. I cannot tell anybody how much I really fall for this series, some reasons I don't actually completely comprehend. It's a great show. Funny and witty, it's a show that actually reflects the realities, pressures, and facts of life that are sometimes too hard to take and accept. The characters are shown to go through countless plausible challenges and how they triumph or failed them. It sounds boring through my descriptions, but I was stuck to it immediately like a magnet the first time I saw it about two weeks ago. It's just amazing. Probably because of this, I've forsaken my familiar tech world for that long and had not written a word on ORG. But it was fun, just to take some fresh air out of the stiffening world of technology. http://www.geocities.com/org32b/220603.html Today is the day where I realized many points . As Yvonne has said to me once , "as long as we have the HEART, everything is gonna be all right. ... " , I began to realize that , the world is not that cruel after all . There are still many people in this world who are willing to make friends and share the life with you .... http://www.geocities.com/org32b/170603.html Since this Monday , I've began to feel very very tired every night and I lost my mood to do my tutorials . I don't know why . Maybe it is due to some sad things that I faced and affected my physical appearance . Sem. 4 has been very busy and I can't seem to find a time to really rest . Studies had become tough too .... http://www.geocities.com/org32b/170603.html This is the second time I wore a shirt to college instead of my conventional Giordano T-Shirt . I don't know why , but somehow , the shirt made me felt luckier . It's strange , because , I attracted so many attention especially girls .. hehehe ... . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/100603.html It's 4:00 am . My stomach started to misbehave again . I went to the toilet like a drunkard and walked leftward and rightward . By the time I landed in the toilet , I knew that I was once again food poisoned ... sucked . I went back to sleep for another 2 hours , and mom woke me up all of a sudden at 6:15 am . It's college time !!! Arggh... I felt very tired and can hardly open my eyelid . It feels as heavy as rock !!! http://www.geocities.com/org32b/090603.html The weekend seemed to move a bit fast , and I wished that I had another day of break , at last , it doesn't . School started again , everyone's back to school today and traffic was not that bad today since I went to college a bit later . I started the day with English for Communications and as always , it went boring . College was kind of crowded today and I'm sick of lots of people . Don't know when I developed this syndrome . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/070603.html I am driving up 85 in the http://www.geocities.com/org32b/060603.html Liberated , at last ! After a week full of strenous days of studying , it's finally weekends !!! I can finally get a good sleep and don't need to get myself busy .. well , for at least 2 days . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/030603.html First of all , I'm now proud to announced that ORG's RSS feed has been finally syndicated . People will most probably find our blog site , and I guessed that it has became one of the bloggers' biggest community . It took nearly 2 weeks to be syndicated and I'm glad they did . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/030603.html This line starts another journal of my life . I personally felt that this life is a bit realistic . Everyone's in town were tend to be realistic and it's a matter of MYOB scenario . That's life . Going back and forth to college and seeing different kinds of people has been my daily routine . KL life is such a busy life . Every morning , the traffic is totally jam and sometimes, I was late for college . Well , in KL , anything can happen . You will not be able to predict what will be happening around you . That made KL life full of hocus-pocus . 'The hocus-pocus life of KL' .. how does it sound ? http://www.geocities.com/org32b/300503.html Canadian University Teaches Students How To Create Malware The course is intended to help stop computer viruses but many are not convinced and fear the opposite. http://www.geocities.com/org32b/280503.html Study time is over . I'm planning to take a break (not stopping to study) and get active in my college . Thinking back during my high school years , I was such a sound techie . I took part mostly on sound systems part when my school have big events . I wanted to relive the moment but , can I ? http://www.geocities.com/org32b/270503.html I sometimes wondered ... I studied at TARC for a year , and achieve quite good results for my exams ... but life is still not perfect after all . I'm not trying to boast around here .. it won't make any sense at all . When they looked at my results .. they looked at me as someone so ... great , awesome ? I don't know , but I don't felt that way so much . I tried my best to keep myself in low profile . But people's mouth are my enemies . And that's what made me a real problematic person . This had been an issue in my life for many years .. only that I neither wanted to speak nor spit it out since it's a bit controversial , and some people might consider me boasting . I admit that I'm a geek , I love to study , and I'm proud to be a geek . But because I emphasized too much on studies , I lacked of social skills . I felt that the way I lived my life is a bit imbalanced ... http://www.geocities.com/org32b/260503.html Today is begins yet another week of my college life . It seemed to move that fast , or was it ? Tutorials , Case Studies , and Practicals are starting by next week , and things are getting busy onwards . We started the day today with English for Cmmunications . Our lecturer is Mr. Wong and he's just back from the States with a Master in TESOL . http://www.geocities.com/org32b/230503.html Yesterday's 16th May episode of TSS was an interesting show. The show was more about 'The Matrix' than anything else, though I really liked the two mil-spec notebooks that actually survived water pour from a jug and soil on the back and the front of the notebook. Then there was this Mr. Lloyd who's purportedly a computer scientist and a programmer and also a "big" thinker, who happens to be doing much thinking about the world of The Matrix and how its possibility lends to the idea that we are afterall "batteries" generating a big bad machine that had taken over humans for aeons; without we humans realizing it. I listened intently, with every sentence he spoke, I weighed it and digested, and he at one point actually convinced me that we are afterall feeling, tasting and experiencing things that are not real at all, signals that were generated by this super intelligent machine that could deceivingly subvert our minds into believing that we are real. When the commercials came on, I sat quiet, and thought deeply. I was taking the idea of the Matrix and tried to imagine myself in that realm. I was trying my best to find fault points and facts that could bring the idea of the Matrix to a fatal flaw, but i wasn't able to. http://www.geocities.com/org32b/220503.html College life resumed today after a day break . Well , at least I don't have to wake up early anymore for the rest of the week . I don't know why , but when I reached campus , I body sweat a lot and I was panting . The weather was hot like HELL today !!!
