Not like any other week.

The week started with many things breaking down. Monday was my car's power steering oil leaked. Follow by Tuesday, my broadband modem's A/C plug burnt. This isn't the first time though, yet it must become a week of hell. Then today is the classic old PC breakdown. Not just breakdown, it forced me to rewind back to revive my college skills in hardware software troubleshooting.
This blog entry was made while waiting for XP to format and setup a new hard disk drive(HDD) that was meant for my client's PC. Coincidentally, too I made a purchase an original Windows XP DVD on Tuesday when getting the HDD after driving half way across KL to replace a burnt A/C plug.
Tired and hungry and it's raining. Thankfully the laptop is alive and kicking plus the melodious sound from my new Philips HTS kept me going. Oh well, since it's already bad first 3 days, I'll brace myself for more worse issues the next couple of days. I shall wait and see. Peace out babe.

The idea of Guerrilla gamefare!

You've heard of Guerrilla warfare(military) or better known now as terrorist attacks (civilian) term. Recently such tactics were deployed to tiick off MBluer. In fact MB, diligently spent hours playing Nintendo Yoshi Touchware marathon mode in order to enlist all top 8 highscores.

Three weeks prior, I made an effort in disposing MB highscore and successfully charted at 6,300+ meters. Three weeks after, she did it with high flying results. Successfully unseated my spot at a whopping 9,027m! However less than 30 hours from her triumph, 'terrorist' striked again! Now at 9136m. In fact it would be more frustrating to mark my topscore at 9,028 (muhahahah-hyenna laugh!).

In summary, this is the same of the human civilization strive to create law and order in a chaotic universe. It only takes one terror cell to disorganise and strike fear in so many. I do not condone such act of disharmony, yet this is how the world is. Imagine you have arranged all your expenses receipts tidily on the table for minutes. All it takes is a short blow of wind, in a second, throw the neatily arrange stacks into a pile of mess.

Back to Yoshiware, MB threaten to reset the highscores. Similar, like making the effort of sending troops to war knowing that it will surely erase too her own records. That is very similar to how we live our civilize life. End. (p/s: check it out).

Astronaut or Space Tourist

A friend referred me an article reported by The Star Malaysia titled : "Malaysia's first astronaut to do what no one in space has done before" today. Curious and I loaded the article. According to the report, the Malaysia got the space station entry tickets when they purchase military aircrafts from the Russian which means with people's tax money.

It was highlighted that this endeavour allows opportunity to conduct scientific experiments. Practically very much obvious otherwise there isn't any much point where so many developed countries spent billions in building such infrastructure in space just for fun, correct or not?

Then came the highlight of the article is where nobody had done before, play batu seremban, batik painting and make teh tarik in space! Wow, I almost fell off my chair. Some information this is, isn't it? Furthermore, proves a very much laid back culture we are, aren't we? Why not send our proud "astronuts" to space and perhaps 'lepak' do batik printing while sipping teh tarik?

Wouldn't it be much better for Malaysia's image, to report the type of scientific experiments our two proud astronauts' going to perform? Discovering the experience in weight-less-ness, jugglin tin mugs for the very first ever made "teh tarik angkasa lepas". Maybe, that cup of teh tarik or batik may worth some money auction in eBay or maybe Christies.
Malaysia space tourists to-do;

1) Play top / 'gasing'.
2) Make teh tarik.
3) Paint batik.
I would like to suggest to:
4) play congkak.
5) conduct pace walks, why not go and fly kite (Kelantan WAU) and log it into Malaysian Books of Record!
Somehow, I have the feeling that it's very more of a space tourist program than astronaut. Oh well, Malaysia Boleh ma.

Ten "when" possibilites.


I became apparently superstitious recently due to an old tale told by another friend about rock element possibly affects human mood and characteristics. In fact applying the hado theory, it surely does because each molecules within us vibrates at a life frequency. Water, unstable subtance, can store the vibration within and human is mainly made up of water. Therefore, it can be generally for the moment conclude that it may conflict human emotions.

Let's try to answer some questions, shall we?
1) It is possibly safe and happy to see loved ones if been apart for sometime and both know sometimes exhibiting could be uncomfortable.

2) It is possible to glow however with empty stomach, climb moutain also no energy la.

3) It is possible that however excited that we want to share stories, sharing it slowly would be lasting. Last for more conversations to come.

4) Receiving gifts that loved one never bought before, can be strange and strangely his current endeavour similarity to that type of gift, doesn't it? Possibly a very observant person would notice, wouldn't it?

5) Focusing on a particular statement uttered about a never bought property, is unneccesary I believe to the contrary opposite. In fact I find myself at times rude, in which do not condone my act, and that I do apologise. However, I do see myself from time to time to check my mistakes, any possiblity that you can?

6) It is possible to share many things and also to love someone, means share? Only I know you know, that's important.

7) Is it possible to force someone to do something? That's slavery right? In fact, even how uncomfortable when it needs and communicated properly can be done. However, communication at times can be unclear, therefore possible to makesure that happens. Refer to my False Attention entry.

8) Is there possibility of help being rendered if seekd? Recalling the days I was in dire problems, she was the one that really saw me through. That I cannot forget because no matter how tormenting squabbles we had, I always remember that she sticked by me twice without hesistation.

9) Clarity is one possible importance to the pure hearts and arrows as embedded within the diamond. Learning again and again is a good thing. Besides talking, talking and talking, I must listen more often. Is it possible for the opposite to do so?

10) Bad times and good times, can it be possible to stay happy all the time too. However, it is always possible to know I have someone to share happiness and sadness, otherwise there is no point in living.

Love you too.

Home made Muck Stick!

A helpful tool during diving. Dubbed as the "muck stick" because it helps divers to balance during photography. It is can also be a life saving tool in case there is strong current. However muck stick got it's name from muck diving which means scuba diving on barren bottom. A retail purchase of this product can cost up to forty ringgit! Yeh, just for a piece of stick.

Anyway, I decided to make one with a buddy's help. He got the metal rod and I found the lash and lock. Total cost was more than 50% less than retail. All it needed was a bit of time and patience to find the materials from stationery shops and metal workshops. I am proud to say, it is quite a successful project afterall. Finally, MikeTan & JoeWong muck stick project complete and now on to UAT this coming Nov 11th to 12th.
