(almost) a very busy, tiring and fun christmas...

ahh~~...
it all started on the 23rd of December... on Friday...
You Wei came to my house (again)... and like the last time... he just sat bside me while i played NFS (yes.. i have finished it... still playing for fun and the bonuses)... he says he is so so bored at home that he literally laughes at himself in the mirror... XS swt...
so.. right after that... helped my mom finish some decoration for the christmas dinner... then... aunty Lily Lee came... pretty early.. at around 7pm (i think so...)
.. then all the people started flowing in.... quite a few guests... Mr. Leong (Bernard's dad)... and... err... Cheryl Lee's tuition mate (?)...
John James also came... and well.. when he is around... we can never be bored... (XP)
sang some carols after eating... was about to play a game, then the carollers came... ironically... out of Kevin, Cheryl, and Ji Mi who went carolling, Kevin's carolling group was assigned to come to our house (his own life-group)...
then..
Kevin came to my study room.. and finally had a glimpse of NFS Most Wanted... (XP)

then.. guess what... i forgot how this came about...
but... i spent that night in Kevin's house... XD
and well... we played NFSMW on his mom's comp in his room till about 5am...
woke up the next day at about 10am... and went to church.. at about 11.30... to see the music practice for the ISCA Christmas party... which was to start at 2pm...
i helped 7A student... to do a simple Power Point presentation... which was just to type a few bible verses that Pastor wanted to use in his preaching later that afternoon... guess who this SMART guy was?... yea... it was none other than the INFAMOUS Ji Mi Yeow... ( XP ) ... no offense there... XD
and well... after the fun and stuff at the meeting... my mom came and picked me and my sis... dropped by at Kevin's house to pick up my stuff... and went home...

on the same day... (24th of Dec)...
we went to PGRM to watch some musical drama (?) organised by First Assembly A/G...
it was a chinese and english play, music performances, and err... drama (?)...
personally... it was so so lah...
like my father said.. it is special because it combined english and chinese... for example.. they don't only sing chinese songs... they also sing english ones... not only during the play... even for the performances... and even sing both languages for the same song....
two things unique though... they had a performance where disabled people on wheelchairs did a dance(?) and small kids (around primary school age) did some break dance.. not too bad though....
but... other than that... well... it wasn't anything special... or.. any thing memorable... haih...
worst of all... the preacher preached in CANTONESE!... doh... couldn't understand...
o well... my mother said it was meant for the all ages...

the next day... (25th of Dec)...
IT WAS CHRISTMAS!!...
the first thing in the morning... my mom woke me up and gave me a small small present... it looked like a thumb-drive... but when i opened the wrapping... guess what... it was 7 ringgit rolled up... swt... big swt...
we (me and my family) went to Flamingo hotel in the morning...
had a christmas service... and well... nearly sang our voice-boxes out... XP
just like last year's watch night service... XP rofl...
and.. i got a present... from Mei Dree.. my ISCA cell in-turn...
the first time anyone gave me a present during christmas (i think... other than my mom's that morning... =_=")...

then... when we got home... it rained...
a rainy christmas...
hmm....

at about 5pm... we left for pastor Be Eng's house warming / dedication open house dinner... apparently... she bought a new house... very near to Abigail's...
went there... and well... met Ji Mi and Kimberly...
later... Kevin and his family came...
we chat... and ofcourse... ate...

then... guess what... after that... i got permission to go stay over at Kevin's... yea.. again.. XP
but... he went for some party at Shannon's...
meanwhile... Cheryl was busy phoning and IM-ing ppl (especially Jo Yee) about some movie outing the next day...
according to him... he wanted to take a lift from Hui Min.. but.. she said wait.. and continued chatting with someone... Kevin waited and waited.. when he looked at his watch again... i was already 12.45... swt....
and well... just like the last time... we played NFSMW... but... this time.. Kevin was a lil knocked out edi... so we onli played until around 3am (i think so...)

the next day... 26th Dec... well... Kevin asked if i wanted to follow them to watch a movie (FINALLY..).. heck YES... XP but i had one problem.. i did not have PRESENTABLE clothes (just like my mom says it).. so.. made some arrangements with my mom on the phone... and she sent the clothes to me... :P hehe... and took the rest of my stuff home... but alas... she forgot to bring my shoes... so.. i had to go to Mid Valley with SLIPPERS!!... real la3-la4.. XP
anyway... we (Sirn Loong, Wee Liam, Kevin, Cheryl, Jo Yee, Jo Yee's friend whom i 4got her name XP, Grace, and erm... ME! ;P) went there.. met up with Faith and Ian there... watched Narnia... ironically... more than half the ppl who went with us... had already watched Narnia... for some... it was the 3rd time already!.. doh...
then... the gang separated... and some went home... i was with Sirn Loong, Victor and Kevin... then we helped Victor look for a VCD to give to Abigail... AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT it seemed... XP anyway... Victor could onli afford VCDs cause he could spend around RM20 onli... but.. then comes Sirn Loong... he helped Vic pay RM20... so... in the end... Vic bought a Audio CD for Abi... some singer called Michael Buble... (sounds.. funny... XP)...
then... we followed Sirn Loong around.. looking for a pair of jeans for him.. he was gonna use it during his trip to Hong Kong the next day... (talk about last minute shopping...) his budget was rm60 and his size was i think... 38?... i hope i did not get that wrong... XP

phew...
i think.. that's about all...
quite a week eh?...

now.. time for me to enjoy NFS!... XP

been a lil' lazy to update my blog... ^^"

haih... so much to say... but lazy to type them all out... ^^"

o well... here it goes...

start with HUGE camp...
just like the name of the camp... it is HUGE... litterally... 800+ teens from all over M'sia all in one resort... the biggest camp i have been to so far...
well... what i really liked about the camp was the worship (DUH) and ofcourse... there was a very rejuvenating presence of God (a bit tongue-tied there XP)...
made new friends.. Donny, June, Melvyn (no.. they are not from Metro...).. and a few other guys from PJ.. who.. i forgot their names... ^^"
but other than that... haih... i don't wish to offend anybody... but... ISCA camp rocks MORE!!.. haha... the food at Sri Puteri really really sucked...
it made me vomit on the bus on the way back... :S

well.. lazy to say more (:P)... then there was the FRIM outing just one day after we came back from HUGE...
well... the day didn't start too well... it rained...
after reaching our destination... we had to rush into a canteen / cafe or whatever it was... and we had a few games and activities there... one of which... was really quite interesting... where we had to rate items from the most important to the least to survive if we were stranded 1,000 miles away from land on the Indian Ocean...
and.. the results... as turned out... was quite unexpected...
then there was the pretty simple treasure hunt...
but.. for the rest of the day... HAIH.... it was pretty boring, if i were to say the truth... the most anticipated canopy walk was canceled due to the rain.. HAIH...

anyway...

o ya!...
i finished playing the Career mode for NFS Most Wanted... hehe... ;)
quite nice lah... i'm still playing it... it seems there are still some bonus stuff i can get... and because... well... i'm bored... :|

and yah..
there's the exam results thing...
got 4A 4B for my PMR... (a little disappointing though...)
English, Science, Math and KH A...
the rest B... haih...
and then there is UEC...
2A 3B 2C...
English and Math A...
Chinese and Geography C...
haih... but i am rather impressed with my UEC results..
basically cause i got a B for my History... haha... unexpected...
i did not study much for both exams (nearly did not...)... and well... the results.. not too bad lah horr?... :P wakaka...

o well...
feeling bored...
hope the christmas gathering at my house tonight will be interesting...

the Numa Numa Dance Phenomenon!!!

thanks for waiting while i finished my Numa Numa Dance phenomenon research... (XP)
and here... i give you the results... ta da da da.... ;P
it seemed... Numa Numa is an Internet phenomenon based on the Moldovain Romanian pop song "Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone. Specifically, it refers to a Flash-based video of 19-year-old American Gary Brolsma lip-synching the song energetically on his webcam.... and... Gary Brolsma first published his "Numa Numa Dance" on the Newgrounds site on December 12, 2004. Since then it has popped up on hundreds of other websites and blogs, and he has made appearances on ABC's Good Morning America, NBC's The Tonight Show and VH1's Best Week Ever....
here are a few URL links...
here is the ORIGINAL numa numa dance...
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/numa.php
this is thing is so famous... it is even in WIKIPEDIA!...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numa_Numa
and this... this is the website where it all started... Newgrounds.com...
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/206373
it was so popular... there were also "spin-offs", remakes, and "remixes"... these are only some of the few...
http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=8207
the list of numa numa 'remixes' on Newgrounds.com... they are pretty slow to load... just copy the name of the version... and google it to get a faster loading webpage... ;)
http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/numanuma.html
and... last but not least... they even have a "American Idle" version for it...
http://www.flashplayer.com/animation/numanumaamericanidol.html

o.. here is the lyrics... for the Romanian version... (yes... there is a English version)... with the english meanings... not the english version lyrics...
http://www.catteacorner.com/dragosteadintei.htm

haha... tat's all for my Numa Numa Dance report... enjoy the links!...

phew... another "busy" day... ;)

i woke up this morning... around 8.30am... to update my blog and things before i did some household chores... the moment i went online... a friend of mine, Soon Fook (aka big7) asked me on MSN if i was going to Sunway Pyramid... i was like... SHOCKED... i did not know of any thing...

it turned out... my friend, Wei Xiong "thought" i was working... and did not invite nor inform me...

(cutting the story short...)

i quickly made arrangements with my mom... and she sent me to Desa Setapak... near the Wangsa Maju station where Wei Xiong, Da Jun (i still don't know how to spell his name... XP), and Khai Jun were taking their breakfast while waiting for me... Wei Xiong guided our other friends at Jalan Ipoh Mutiara Complex how to get to Sunway Pyramid... and after Da Jun finished his wan tan mee.. we took the LRT to Kelana Jaya station... yea... it was a long ride... but... well.. it was okay when you have friends to chat with... ;)
after reaching the Kelana Jaya station, we took a taxi to Sunway Pyramid... where we met up with the others... they were... err... Hong Yaw, Soon Fook, Mei Xuan, Chui Teng and Tze Sian... our first stop?... the ice-skating ring ofcourse!!... ;D we went in... RM19 per entry... and RM5 for the gloves... got our skating shoes... and went in!... out of the nine of us... onli 3 had ice-skated before... Wei Xiong, Da Jun and.... me... ( ;P ) but... unlike the other 2... the last time i skated was like... 3 years ago... when i came here to learn ice-skating during the hols... but now.. i nearly forgot everything... other than being able to skate around the ring at a fair speed... well.. those 2 (Wei Xiong and Da Jun), they come out so often... going everywhere... and they seem to do everything from playing snooker to going on the Space Shot in genting every 3 months... and i think that includes going ice-skating OFTEN...
and the rest?... well.. Hong Yaw learned fast... very fast... i think he roller-skated before... that's why he learned so fast... and could skate quite confidently too!... and err.. the others... just stuck to the wall... walking slowly... XD
then... Pui Sze who lived nearby came over and joined us... because she stayed nearby... she came pretty often too.. thus, could also skate quite well...
everyone tried to skate... and Ah Fook was the most sporting one... he even dared to fall... and he did... MANY MANY times... and quite a few times, he fell in front of girls... who giggled... XP haizz... kesihannya... but he didn't mind at all... and not for long.. he also could skate quite well... ofcourse... those who could skate helped those who couldn't... but of all those who could not skate... Tze Sian seemed to never leave the wall.. never tried skating herself... haih... if onli they were like Ah Fook... "hou 7" mah fun loh... haha... ;P

so... after having fun at the ice-skating ring... we were HUNGRY... it was like 2pm edi... we went to Red Box... where we spent the rest of our time at Sunway Pyramid...

after ordering our food... we started singing... quite a few chinese songs... some i have heard before... some i could sing... some i never heard of...
there even a PS there... and well... those Football fanatics played Winning Eleven 8...
after a few songs... we were like "HIGH"... XP we sung 童话, 倒带... and some other chinese songs so loud... we even jumped on the sofa!!.. XD man... it was fun... but... sadly... the girls did not join us... they just sat at one corner of the long sofa... singing silently... and when we pass them the mic... they just wont sing into it... haizz... not sporting at all... no fun... and that Tze Sian... she has been in our school choir for 3 years edi... but doesn't dare sing into the mic... HAIH...
and well... after our lunch... we sang to our hearts content... (we had till 6.30pm anyway... ;D) after awhile... Da Jun and me plus Khai Jun sang Numb (yup, that english song by Linkin Park), You Make Me Wanna by Blue, It's My Life by Bon Jovi... and quite a few more...
by then.. the girls left and went to do some window shopping...
then... it was me solo with Rollin', Points Of Authority, and a few other english songs... haha... XD after that... we sang / listened to a few more chinese songs... and ended with the song 脱掉!!.. haha!!.. too bad everybody was pretty exhausted edi... not "HIGH"... haha... but we had real fun... singing together (shouting too XP)...
then after paying the bill... which was RM200+..
we met up with the girls.. and well... it was time to go home... it was already 7pm...

Wei Xiong, Da Jun, Khai Jun and me took a taxi to Taman Melati LRT station... which was near Da Jun's house... and man... Da Jun... that dirty minded fellow.. had a DIRTY chat with the taxi driver.... even the taxi driver said his mind was kotor! haha... anyway... after reaching Taman Melati... me and Khai Jun parted with Wei Xiong and Da Jun, and took the LRT back to Wangsa Maju station... where we parted... and I... well... went home...

time just flies when you're having fun eh?... haizz... 5th of December... another day to be remembered....


(sorry guys... did not have time to finish the Numa Numa research yet... XP STAY TUNED... it will be out soon... ;P )

phew... quite a day... *nu ma, nu ma iei...*

well.. it has really been quite a day...

left my house at about 10.20am...
my dad gave a friend of mine, Chung Sun, and me a lift to the LRT station on his way to church...
we were going to KLCC for the PC fair...

there we were... at the convention centre...
we walked around... and well... other than the gadgets and devices on show... other "things" were also on our list to look at... "living things"... ;) not to be cheeky... but... well... it's our nature... right?... nothing wrong if our minds' right... ;P
so... anyway... we walked and looked around... we didn't have anything to buy in particular... just to let time pass... and err.. well... not be bored at home...

we saw that mp3s just got cheaper... AGAIN...
this time.. the cheapest we saw was RM69 only!!...
i looked at Sunny (my friends nickname) and he just shook his head...
that's because he bought a RM88 mp3 the last pc fair...
and it ended up.. he could not put songs into the mp3.. it was totally useless...
but lucky for him... somehow... one of his friends lost that mp3... and... well... he payed Sunny for it!... talk about luck... :P

we walked through the halls pretty fast... and end up outside of the convention hall by around 12pm... the shortest time i ever spent in a PC fair...

then.. we pondered what to do... and decided to WALK to Low Yat plaza (sungei wang, Time Square, and Imbi plaza? that area lah...)
yup.. that was not a typing error... we really WALKED... after i asked for the direction of Time Square from a guard outside KLCC... we started walking...
we walked till the Bukit Nanas Monorail station... and there is where i made a mistake...
we were at a T-junction... so... if we followed the monorail track... we were sure to reach Sungei Wang / Time Square... but... BUT... instead of going toward sungei wang... we walked towards Chow Kit... i admit... it was my mistake... my decision...
we walked till Raja Chulan station and still did not know we were walking in the wrong direction... and continued following the tracks... till we came to a very familiar road... i looked at the road... and hit my fore-head... we were on JALAN IPOH... the road i am so d*mned used to.. (for those who don't know.. i study in Chong Hwa Ind... which is near Jalan Ipoh)...
so.. we were... as i said... walking towards the Chow Kit Monorail station... instead of the Bukit Bintang station... we turned back and took the monorail (no.. not walk) from Raja Chulan station to the Bukit Bintang station... haih... big mistake... but quite good exercise though... ;P and anyway... i learned how to walk from KLCC to Time Square... ;) that might save me some $$$ next time... (though i wasted some this time... swt..)

we went into sungei wang first... and looked for a friend... who was working at Echo Park... then we had lunch in the food court on the 4th floor..
then... we went to Low Yat... where i bought NFS Most Wanted and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory... both PC DVD games... which cost me RM30 (!)... both... not each... ^^" (haven't tried playing them... mayb nxt week... when i have more time...)
then... we went into E-zone... hoping to see some people we know... which we didn't... played a round of Time Crisis II... and well... with nothing to do left...
went towards the Monorail station... and well... go home! :|

one funny incident... (may not b too funny though... XP)
we took the monorail till the Bukit Nanas station and walked to the Dang Wangi LRT station...
there... we could not get on the LRT 3 times... because it was so so sooooo congested... everybody was going to KLCC... it was packed like SARDINE... until the fourth time... i had enough... i literally squeezed myself in... and when i looked back... the door was closing... and Sunny was still outside... swt...
then... THEN...
at KLCC... everybody wanted to come out... so.. I... who was standing at the door.. had to just go out and let the crowd out... and waited with the crowd outside to get into the LRT... and... guess what happened... the door closed before i could get on... DOUBLE SWT...
i waited for the next one.. and got on it... and saw Sunny on it too... who... to my surprise.. did not show any sign of being surpriesed... as though he expected this to happen... swt...

and well... i came home (DUH)... nothing much to be said there...

Been wondering what the *nu ma, numa iei...* in my title mean?..
well... actually... it is from a song called Dragostea Din Tei (which means Love From The Linden Trees)... it is actually a Romanian song... originally sung by a group called Haiducii (which means The Outlaws)... then sung by a group called O-Zone...

doesn't sound familiar??...

well... think the sound track from Chicken Little... the one in the trailer...
noe of it already??... ah... tat's the one...

well... what is this all about?... it has been in my head for quite some time... just can't get it out...

it all started like this...

while me and Sunny were in the PC fair... we heard this song being played many times... at different booths... i had wanted to download that song... but did not know the title... so Sunny told me it was the soundtrack from Chicken Little (which... i aint so sure... cause i could not find it on the chicken little OS CD)... so... when i came home... i tried to look for it... i searched Chicken Little Soundtrack in LimeWire... then a bunch of results came out... most with Numa Numa at the back... i just downloaded it and... i had it!.. but... it didn't stop there...
i felt curious... i thought the lyrics were like "Know my, Know my name.." but it turned out it wasn't... it was in some other language... and the title... Numa Numa... so i searched it... and guess what... i found much much more...

IT IS / WAS A PHENOMENON on the internet!!... something to do with a fat 19 year old american dancing in front of his computer... lip-sync"ing" to this song...

i am currently doing some research on this... so... stay tuned!... there will be more updates to this NUMA NUMA DANCE phenomenon!...

(man.. i still can't get it out of my mind... IT IS ADDICTIVE!!... :P)

Damn the lighting storm!!!...

29th of November...
around 9pm...
i was a bit weary and was about to go to bed...
suddenly... 3 lightnings struck... one after another... and it was LOUD...
it shocked me.... and tripped my house's electricity...
i was well... lazy to go down-stairs... so i left it to my parents... and my sis... ;P
the electricity came back on...
then after a few seconds.. or minutes... it went out again..
a very heavy lighning / thunder storm... very loud...
the electricity tripped a few more times... and well.. i lost count.. and fell asleep... woken a few times by a thunder strike...

30th November...
as usual...
i woke up at around 8am...
on my computer...
and went downstairs...
when i came up...
i noticed my internet connection was not on... even though i on the modem and router... (as usual)...
i checked if my cabels were in place... and well.. they were...

to just cut the story short..
i phoned a church member of mine.. who usually helped us with our computers...
and with the help of my friend, who lent me his modem...
we (me and my church member...) "deducted" (;P) that the lightning storm must have surged my Aztech modem, my D-Link wireless router, and my built in ethernet port... through the telephone line... (and by the way... my computer and everything was not on at that time... i was about to SLEEP...)
DAMN.. that is going to cost a lot..
and yes... it did...

yesterday... 1st December...
my mom wanted to use her outlook to check mail and bla bla bla...
so she wanted to go to Low Yat plaza and get a new modem and stuff to get her internet connection working again...
we went... walked and asked around... bargained...
bought a Prolink Modem with built in router, wi-fi, and 4 ethernet ports... for RM255!!.. but... well.. i think that's quite ok... it is my modem and wireless router combined... so... the price seems ok... (and anyway... i ain't the one paying... ;P haha...)
then... we bought a surge protector... for RM89...
and err... my mom bought her compatible Epson Stylus ink for... RM50...
so... not counting the ink... RM344 was spent... JUST BECAUSE OF THAT LIGHTING STORM!!!... grr....

now... that took care of the modem and router... all i needed now was to settle my ethernet port... the guy who sold me the router/modem... told me i could just slot in a ethernet PCI card... which he was selling for RM50...
i didn't buy it...
i came back... and guess what...
i found out that my dad put in a ethernet card into one his old Techdos computer which is no longer connected to the internet...
so.. hehehe... i just took out the RM59 ethernet card and slot it into my computer...
PROBELM SOLVED!!...
then i also added in a USB 2 PCI slot which my dad had problems using... which worked pretty fine on my computer... ;)

but that was not the last of my problems.....
last night... i tested a pirated Fifa 06 CD for my friend...
and guess what... i got spyware and adware...
i was already suspicious for i had to install a program called Daemon Tools in order to be able to install the game itself...
the game... well... just like my friend said... it had problems...
DAMN IT...
and just today... just now in fact... after scanning with Ad-aware.. Spybot...
i could not get rid of one of the spyware... which has something to do with Yisou... the chinese version of the Yahoo search engine...
i tried to go into Safe Mode to get rid of it... but could not...
i tought it might be the USB 2 card... so i took it out... but it my computer still could not go into Safe mode...
i gave up and used the System Restore feature...
the spyware was no more there...
but i still could not go into Safe Mode...
it loaded until a driver called MUP... which is from Microsoft for something called "multiple UNC" kinda thing...
well... i aint bothered by that now... cause i can't... don't know how... and anyway... it doesn't interfere with anything... (yet)... ;P
i'll settle it later... MUCH LATER... :)

yah... my mom wanted me to rearrange everthing in our study room (where the computers are...).. and after rearranging.. yes... the room does look more tidy and neat... but.. it is SO MUCH MORE inconvenient to add things and plug in or unplug things now... haizzz... luckily everthing is done and over... phew...

o well...
at least i have been kept busy for quite a while... ;)
