ARGH!!! WAT's WRONG WITH THIS BURNER?!?!

ARGH!!!...
just as the title says... i have been having problems with the new DVD-writer of mine...
i just can't burn anthing unto CDs...
i have photos to burn for a teacher in school but this Samsung Write Master DVD-RAM burner just isn't cooperating!!!...

i don't know why...
at first i thought it was just the usual spoilt CD... well you know.. the rm40 for 50 pieces kinda CDs... but then... it never went past 6% on Nero when i burn stuff...
WHY???...

then... i just changed my burner... or rather... my mom helped me change it as she was out and about.. and i was busy... but it is still the same!!!...

i tried burning stuff on the old Acer PC which uses a Lite-On DVD burner... which i used to copy discs quite often last time....
and it had the same problem!!... could i be so unlucky to have SO D*MN MANY SPOILT DISCS??...
but then again... i did reformat that Acer....
but then again... it shouldn't have any effect!... =.="

ARGH!!!...

anybody with any idea with what may be wrong, please immediately leave a comment... or just contact me... ASAP!!!...



so... ok... enough of my complaints about the burner....

well.. my dad's much better now.... the swelling has subsided... and he is looking much better...
went and got a new pair of glasses today... rm200!... o well.. that's quite usual for a pair of glasses anyway.... XP

thank God... and all that prayed... (if there were any... =.=")


so... basically... i am just writing this post to kill time...
as i am very sien of turning off my pc so many times trying to burn CDs unsuccessfully... =.="

o ya!...
today... i took many many pics... yea...
talk about taking pics the whole day in school... well... when school's in session i mean...
helped the IT department to take pics of all Form 6 and Form 3 students... not all... around 7 classes... passport sized photos...
it is for their GRADUATION cert....
form six no problem lah... but why form 3 olso in this? some of you may ask....
well... our school has this Junior Secondary graduation kinda thing...

the head of the IT department bought two new studio lights (the big thing you see in studios that they use to take your passport-sized pic) and two passport pic backdrops (the blue to white gradiented thingy)! talk about using finances and getting things done fast!...

i know our photography society should have those things... and the IT department buying that kinda stuff sounds a lil awkward... but... we do have them... just that our ONLY light is a bit cacat and is really really ANCIENT... and the sensor olso sot sot liao...
our backdrop is KINDA dirty... with paint and all sorts of stains and marks.... =.="

but... after we helped them take photos... the head of department seemed quite pleased and said we could lend those equipments from them whenever we wanted... if they aren't using it... (which i don't think they will after taking the passport-sized photos...)
so...
YEAH!!!... XP


haihz... WHY? WHY? TELL ME WHY??... WHY WON'T YOU WORK? o' DVD BURNER??... =.="

______________________________________________

haih...
well.. i had a thought when i was coming back on the bus yesterday...
you know our RapidKL bus system.... you buy one ticket and you can use it the whole day?..
well... i was thinking... put myself in the bus driver's shoes:-

12th January-
The bus driver goes on his normal routine... goes around.. driving people...
when people put in RM1 or RM2 and he gives them a ticket...
he comes to Titiwangsa main stop at about 3pm....
then a guy steps into the bus, shows him a ticket he has bought earlier on another bus....
he (the bus driver) looks at it...
"12 JANUARI 2007"...
he (bus driver) let's him (passenger) in...

13th January-
it's another afternoon... just like the day before... and the day before that... and the day before that.... .... well... maybe it rained on the day before before that... ....
he comes to another bus stop... a young lady steps in... he looks at her ticket...
"13 JANUARI 2007"...
he lets her in....

just about 16 hours before that... it was still the 12th of January....
but in another 16 hours... he would be seeing tickets with "14 JANUARI 2007" printed...
just 2 weeks before that.. he was still seeing tickets with "2006" at the back....


he sighs.. snaps back to reality... and continues driving....

conitnuing his old routine....

while time and tide just passes by.....

____________________________________



o well... i know tat was kinda emo...
but... well.. it was just a thought... and i have plenty of time to think all sorts of stuff (HEALTHY STUFF) when i am on my way back from school...
and yeah... i am quite an emo guy... i think... I FEEL... XP

so.. yea... tat's about all for this post...



ARGH!!!!! WHY WON'T YOU JUST FUNCTION!?!??!
(talking to my lifeless DVD burner.. not anybody or anything else..... XP)

new year.. new problems...

haizz...

well.. yea.. just as the tittle says... got QUITE A BIT of problems lately...

haizz...

first of all...

been QUITE busy with all the photography society stuff in my school... all the publicity work and trying to recruit and attract new members.... phew...
i am the SECRETARY in my socity btw... but not the one in charge of all the recording stuff and that sort... but... on all the 'publicity' kinda thing... all the designing, drawing, bla bla bla...
basically... i do all the dirty work and tiresome work... =.="
we had this... erm... some sort of exhibition... we show cased some of the former and current society members' works.. including our current coach's (who happened to be an ex-president for our society some AGES ago... and is majoring in photography in.. i forgot where... XP)... don't expect me to describe them... i would need more than a thousand words to do so... serious...
a teacher got a fishing net for us, quite a big one... and we spread it in the small hall of our school... then all the photos went up there...
other than that... we showed some of the equipments.. like that chunk of metal which develops films, and enlarges them... the light (we only had one.. which was kinda spoilt... -,-") and the accessories for it... like the "umbrella" etc...
and there some other stuff.. which... i am just lazy.. and tired to describe...
well... it was only for two days... and ended today.. so... PHEW!!~... after helping the president (of my society...) to pack up a little.. i left for tution... (ofcourse... she wasn't very pleased, as we were the only two left packing up... o.. and yes... the president's a SHE... don't ask why... =.=")

so.... i won't elaborate more on that... there is so much more about my society that i was, am, and will be busy about... .... haih... sien... =.="
like they say... never go into a career that involves your interest(s) / hobby(s) as it will kill it... =.=" haihzzz....

haizz...

so...
secondly...
yea.. i know many of you will say it is nothing much...
but heck... i'm FORM 5!!.. it's SPM YEAR!!.. and my mom is reminding me about it every possible chance she gets.... =.=" how important it is... haih... no.. i am not saying what she says is not true.. but... u noe.. when parents say it... u juz find it kinda annoying... =.="
so anyway... me being in chong hwa means i've got more to cope with... (no... i m not trying to b lcly here... juz stating facts.. XP) including calculus... .... haih... so far so good... ... hope it stays tat way... =.="

haizz...

thirdly...
this is kinda recent... just yesterday in fact...
my dad fell from his bike... (bicycle)... while cycling home from work yesterday... yes.. my dad does tat as it saves money (parking, petrol, car maintainance) and it is a form of excercise... ofcourse... my dad's office ain't very far... about 10mins cycle from my home...
so... back to the main issue.. my dad fell.. and had quite some injuries... they're quite bad... on his face... both knees... a bit on the leg and hands here and there too... the doctor says they are all just superficial (don't really know how to spell that... but it means the injuries are only skin deep) but my dad's face is not very pretty... the right side... it seemed that when he fell, his glasses smashed and the metal frame cut his face...
i ain't very sure how the whole thing happened as two kind boys who happened to find my dad quickly got help and a neighbour who happened to pass by helped and called us...
when we arrived... erm.. i think SHOCK is the word.. i saw my dad's face half covered in blood and my neighbour was holding a hand full of tissue with blood...
well... rushed my dad to a clinic and dressed the wounds... and the doctor gave him a tetanus jab... well... it is to keep infection away.. i think.. =.=" not to sure...
according to my dad... after he came back from the clinic and was resting at home... he wanted to avoid two cars coming from the back and wanted to go up a curb at the side of the road... but it seemed the curb was too high and he fell... and passed out... until the two boys came to help...
my dad's ok... according to the doctor... (he went to another doctor today to redress the wounds and get more advice...) but... i can see that his face near his right eye is swollen... not a very pretty sight... and my dad stayed home today to rest... his right palm is kinda injured too...

so.. i hope all you christians out there reading this (if there are any...) please do pray for my dad's speedy recovery... and against any sort of infection or complications...
thx...

haihz.....
haihzz...
relationships...
haihzz...

well.. ofcourse.. luckily... there are some bright things to look to in these times...
my bio, bm, chem, physics, eng teachers are all quite ok... quite good... (so far)...
my bm teacher is the head of the department.. so no questions there...
as for my physics teacher... he is quite clear... but kinda strict... but also ok.. so far...
the focus is my english teacher... Mr. Chin... if any of you current or ex-chong hwa-rians should noe him... he is... well.. kinda not the usual teacher... come in with a papaya face or juz jovial tat kind of teacher... he is one teacher tat will definitely spark some conversation... he is very... very... well... cute... =.=" i don't know any other word to describe him...
really.. like for example... he literrally jumps on the stage of our class and says.. "Please listen to me" when he wants attention from the class... serious... he can speak some (n i really mean SOME...) cantonese... but not mandarin... not at all...
and if that ain't enough... he likes to mimic children laughing... and the facial expression too... =.=" if that ain't "cute"... i don't know wat else is... =.="
but the main thing... he is devoted... he even bothers to get other materials... like from national geographic, Time magazine etc... and today... he taught us ordinal and cardial numbers...
i noe it sounds kinda stupid (to me at least...) but... come to think of it... many students in my school (or my class at least) don't really know much or very good at it too...
so... basically.. this Mr. Chin... well... he is serious about teaching... "to bring you all up to Cambridge 'A' Level"... (that's what he said... XP)

so...

haizz...

hope all these will pass by soon...
yea... God... do give me your strength and wisdom... i nid it... (i noe this sounds like going to God when onli when i nid him.. but... heck... i really nid it now.. =.=")

yea.. i noe... is juz one of those times when teenagers feel depressed and the world is weighing them down.... when a young mind is being flooded by thoughts, dreams, regrets, ifs.....
well... it's my turn... and i've gotto face it... it ain't very pretty... but it's part of life.. and i've gotto get through it... in one piece.. and with flying colors.....

.....

"you have turned my mourning into dancing...
you have turned my sorrows into joy... .... ....
.....
this is how we overcome... this is how we overcome... this is how we overcome...
..."

haizzz...
....
haizzz.....
.....
haizz....
.......

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!... [time to show off... XP]

okay people... i didn't wish many people Merry Christmas... so i hope this will make do...

well... ofcourse... unless something UNEXPECTED happens along the way.. and well... i... juz went away.... CHOI! CHOI!! CHOI!!! GOD FORBID!!!!

well... anyway... tat's all for wishing u ppl happy new year... (tat's if anyone really reads this... =.=")


now... for me to show off....

if u haven't read already (thx for reading, if anybody is.... =.="), in my last post.. i did mention about my new pc... so... in this post.. i'm gonna show some pics of it... hehe...

(yea.. i noe.. a new post onli after 12 hours... i m tat kinda guy which is very lazy... but when i start or continue something... i wont stop so soon... if u get wat i mean...)

so... here it goes...

ahh... 2GB XMS2 Corsair PC6400 800MHz RAM.. ooh-lah-lah... XP

Gigabyte GeForce 7300GT

2 SATA2 HDDs... (notice the cool casing design which can turn... ;) )

the cool screwless casing... the screws for drives replaced by studs... and there is the pastic thingy for air ventilation... cool eh?... XP

the whole system unit... ooh... the light... the blue light~... (XP)

haha... i was in a photo taking frenzy with my phone... so... took many pics... and these r onli the FEW of them... XP haha... o ya... muz emphasize it is me AND MY MOM's pc... =.=" (if u don't noe y... refer to the last post... XP)

argh... still got the urge to show off... XP haha... plz let me do so... i don't get this kind of oppurtunity often... XP

The full specs for the pc:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHz Processor rm 655
2GB XMS2 Corsair 800MHz PC6400 RAM rm 1070
80GB Western Digital SATA2 Hard Disk rm 165
250GB " rm 267
BioStar TForce Series 965PT Mother Board rm 400
GeForce 7300GT Graphic Card rm 319
Casing + 350W Power Supply rm 220
Microsoft Keyboard + Mouse rm 60
18x DVD-RAM Samsung rm 120
View Sonic 17" VA703b rm 569

as for the speakers... i m using the Sonic Gear SP121X which my dad got as a free gift for subsciption of HWM Hardware Magazine some time ago and didn't use... =.="

so... after some discounts... the whole pc costs rm3820... n we olso bought a WD 120GB 2.5" ext hdd at rm319... spending a total of rm4139 at the shop...

btw.. the name of the shop is ATE (it's in Low Yat... if u don already know... and didn't read my last post.. =.=") ... n i m QUITE familiar wif them (n so r they wif me... i think.. XP) so... if anyone of u wan to assemble a custom pc... don mind calling me to bring u guys to tat shop... n get some good bargains.. XP hahaha... (advertising myself and the shop... hmm... should ask for some advertising fees from them liao... )


O YA!.. forgot one more pic... (actually 3 more... chosen out from the bunch of similar pics taken during the frenzy... XP)

these are the boxes for the MoBo and the graphic card... XP
i got rid of all the other boxes and put all the manuals, driver CDs, etc into these two boxes...


O!! i must say this again... i know i said this in my last post... but i just wan to elaborate more...

the built in soundcard in this mobo is damn cool... it can make it's output increase/decrease (i dont noe the appropriate verb for this... =.=") in key.. as in go to a higher or lower key... so let's say i play a Mariah Carey song... and i can increase it by 4 keys max and it sounds like a chipmunk is singing.. XP haha.. seriously... only the key changes... the tune, the lyrics all still sound original...
so now.. i can make JoJo sound like a man... n Mike Shinoda like a woman... XP cool eh?...


so.. as you can c... the last 2 pics were kinda "artistic"... eh?... agree?...

so.. i'll leave u with some "artistic" pics of the tartlets my mom bought and wanted me to take some pics of... yea... i was in another photo taking frenzy with my phone... XP (oh.. btw... they r all in my family members' stomachs.. or.. mayb... some oxidation pond by now...)

























P.S:-

1) I don't mean to show off to much and offend anybody, n i admit my pc is no where near "top-of-the-range"... it's juz.. well.. juz to show off...
juz take it as a noob showing his new pc... ;)

2)I don't think i will be able to blog more... or come on9 often... or even use the pc more... coz my parents are in tat mood again...
"School's reopening liao lah... blah blah blah..."
WAT DOES ME USING THE PC GOTTO DO WITH MY GRADES???... damn lah...
it's not like i use it to play games anymore... seriously... i have never play computer games at home for like 3 months... and i haven't even installed a single game on this new pc...

piff.. piff... piff...

back after ages of laziness.... [A NEW PC!!! YAHOO!!!]

hmm... i seem to be updating my blog so so "regularly"... but anyway... like most people.. i was and am also a busy guy (kinda.. XP)... not to mention LAZY...

so here it goes...
i'll start from... let's see...
aha!.. yah... ISCA Camp... ;)
(i noe this is very old stuff... but... anyway... it's ME writing this blog... XP)

ok... yes....
ISCA camp... hmm... wat to say.. it was quite SOME time ago liao.... hmm.... XP
yea... QUITE fun... if it weren't for 3 #^#% people who #$%^&*! don't have the &^%& b*lls to admit that they have ruined many more campers n MY mood... n by doing so... made me so d*mn *#%@! p*ss*d...
but.. anyway.. tat was juz the last day...so... cut the story short... (i dont think i really nid to say much.. as there are so MANY MORE blogs by others about this camp, n ofcoz... i 'm LAZY...)
as many people should know by now... i was ONE of the photographers during camp... it was quite an experience... the courage to walk here and there during services to take pics especially... yea.. n i learned from our dear nua eek tat taking more candid pics is pretty important n good... .... so much more to learn... haihz...
anyway... another must mention is the jungle trekking... quite a good experience olso... including SOME people who just couldn't help pissing others with HER PIERCING screams... grr... haih... but kelian my sis... kept slipping on the way up... tat should teach her to keep fit... XP haha... (ooh.. i feel my "evilness" arising.. XP...)
ah... just thinking about all the things we did... the kayaking... the flying fox... ahh... (no.. pls dont say obstacle course... it onli reminds me of those 3 !@# b*st*rds... PIF...)
so.. my feelings n comments of the camp?... it was all right... but... to be frank... i feel it was rather boring n a bit unorganised... compared to past camps... but.. anyway... thanks to the committee for all their hard work and organising the camp...

so... then... after the camp... there was our church's christmas play... "Word On The Street"......

well... before the official 3 days of play... i was given the oppurtunity to learn more about taking photographs during the full dress rehersals the day before... which was a Thursday...
as it turned out... the PRO photographer which was gonna "mentor" me was an ex-ChongHwarian... well... he graduated about 10 years ago... and he takes photos for major events.. like the Batik show held in KL convention centre... he even took pics for Tata Young's concert when it was held here!...
well... anyway... took kinda lots of pics... from the make-up sessions all the way to 2 complete full dress rehersals... not to mention the video taking after that... i was there at Flamingo hotel from about 1pm till 9pm... the actors, dancers n singers were there earlier n left later.. kesihan betul...

so... after that.. the next day... the nxt 3 days actually... i went for all 3 nights of the play... (well.. i was free.. with nothing MUCH to do.. and... ofcourse.. for the fun of it and to see my frens... XP)
o... i wasn't taking pics... coz the PRO ex-CHrian was doing it... (aww~)
anyway... the play was definetely a blast... especially the angel Gabriel... (who is olso a photographer... ;) ) he enjoyed himself every night.. changing his lines... adding stuff... and getting responses from the audience!... haha... he's a natural... seems totally flawless although he made mistakes... (ofcourse i noe if there r mistakes... i saw them rehearse TWICE before tat... XP)
o... a must mention... one of the funniest lines i like in the play...
"A guy asked me for money. I told him, silver and gold i do not have, but what i have i will give to you. Guess what i gave to him folks. I gave him a piece of my MIND!" (the drums go *duk-duk-CHANG...) hahaha... (if u don't get it... u brain runs on a low processor, mayb... pentium 2.. n definitely didn't go c the play... WHICH IS A BIG LOST if u ask me... XP)
o.. ofcoz.. the HALLELUJAH part... which was the part which never failed to get laughters from the audiences through all 3 nights... XP

so... that's it for the play... (i lazy to write more lah... XP)

right after that... i was GIVEN the OPPURTUNITY to make a presentation of the ISCA camp photos n videos... at first.. i wanted to use power point... n without videos.. but... luckily... miss JC came to the rescue in time... and we use Adobe Premiere to make one heck of a video....
in onli 4 days... we managed to push it through.. n i mean with the SKIN OF OUR TEETH... we were even still editing it on the day of the presentation... which was the day for our ISCA Christmas Party... but all in all... another great experience for me... and ofcourse... i have a new SiFu.. the pro multimedia college student... miss JC... XP haha... thanks to her... i now hav interest in learning Premiere... hoho.. XP
as for the video... i wont comment much... juz ask the other ISCArians who saw it... i blieve a few were quite embarassed by the video as videos, or photos of them were shown.. especially those doing some *ahem* not so SAINE things... (haha) but... it was all for good cause... eh?... XP haha...

so... tat about wraps up my church activities lately.... though i admit... i have really really COMPRESSED it... XP

then... ofcourse... i was still busy after that... if not... i would have blogged... as there was so much to blog about... XP

after all those had happened... i was given yet another OPPURTUNITY....
to become the secretary of my school's photography society.... ya... i noe... it's really weird... but i don hav to do all those recording stuff... there's another secretary to do those... XP haha... i m more on the creative side... (mostly designing, n drawing stuff... =.=")
had a 2 meetings... n whenever we dicussed something tat needed some designing n drawing... the president would juz go.. "文书..." (which means secretary) =.=" haihzz....

then after that... there was this ORIENTATION thing for our school's new form 1 students... and yes... me and the some other photography society people were in charge of taking pics... haihzz... 3 days... had to b in skul by 7.30am for 3 days!... haih...

yea... ofcourse it was another EXPERIENCE for me... quite a good one too... XP

the first day... the main thing they did was being introduced to the different places in the school... like the IT room, science labs, the courts, staff rooms, etc etc... (apart from all the talks... =.=")
then... the 2nd day was the most interesting.. n hectic... there were many performances by societies and clubs of our school... including those from the taekwondo society, cadets, Dance society, the new chinese yoyo society, 二十四节令鼓 society (dunno wat it's called in english... the direct translation is "twenty for beat drum" XP haha...) and 身心创意 (i won't bother to translate this... =.=").. after that.. the DOU MAIs (kiddos) went all around the school and played games at different "stations".... the motive was to let them get to know the different departments... some games were just weird... like sorting the names of teachers of a particular department... but some were just... just... well... call it wat u like... there was one which needed the newbies to 拱桥 (stretch backwards and touch the ground with their hands to resemble a bridge) and do a split... yes... u didn't read wrongly... do a SPLIT... =.="
the 3rd day was the most boring n useless... after another few more talks.. the main "attraction" was the fire evacuation practice... =.="
haizz... after the newbies were dismissed and went home each day... me n the others had to stay back and arrange, sort and edit the photos taken for a teacher to make a video to be presented on the 3rd day... (kinda reminds of me n JC rushing to do the ISCA camp video eh?.. XP) n basically... i did all the editing as onli i *ahem* was the most experienced in using adobe photoshop... Oooo.. XP haha...

so... then... now... to the MAIN ATTRACTION of this post... XP

on the day before the 1st day of the orientation.. my mom's laptop's hard disk crashed...
yup... lost everything... didn't hav any backup... n yea... started shooting me left right.... haih... i wont go deeper into tat... =.=" i tried to help her get back the data... including putting the hard disk into the freezer... XP but ofcourse.. it did not work... n she decided to get a new pc... at first she wanted to get a laptop again... but my dad recommended a desktop as it was better for heavy duty usage n my mom didn't nid tat much portability...
so... on the last day of the orientation...
i went wif my mom to Low Yat... n assembled a custom from ATE (yes.. it is a name of a shop... XP)... the same shop which i assembled a custom pc for my friend, Stool Stool (XP haha... nice nick name eh?...) last time...
oo... n yea.. i'm using it rite now.. oo hoo... for a lil bit more than 4k... this mama has...

Intel C2D 1.86Mhz
2GB XMS2 PC6400 800MHz Corsair RAM
80GB + 250GB WD SATA2 HDD
GeForce 7300GT

some other misc. stuff...
n a feature packed BioStar 965PT MoBo... ooo hoo...
to side track a lil.. i juz found out today tat the built in sound card in this mobo can step up / down the key of the output... so... i could make a song sang by a woman sould like it was sung by a man by lowering the key... cool eh?... haha...

okok.. i won't continue boasting bout me AND MY MOM's new pc... XP haha....

n yea... the old acer is now my SIS' PC... yea... n i mean PERSONAL computer...
she said she was like a monkey who just came out of a cage... as she was always using my mom's laptop's guess account... XP haha... wat a metafore... XP haha...


so... before i end this EXTRAORDINARILY LONG post...
i'd just like to say these...
"CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER" & "ERAGON" SUCKS!!!

(XP)

late update on some events... MAJOR EVENTS... XP

okay... so much to say...
let's do this according to the time in which these events happened...

first of all...
Pig's birthday...
it was... err... if i did not remember wrongly... 28th of July... was a Friday...
celebrated with him in class during the 1st recess... got a cake...
and ya... on top of the usual "ARUBAing" and "CHAIRing" of the birthday boy...
this time we did something else... something... more MEMORABLE... and SPECIAL.. just for one of our "gang members" XP
everybody put some of the cream from the cake he took... and we piled the cream on the plate used for the cake... made it into a mound... and.... yah... i think you have guessed it... SMACK THE WHOLE PLATE OF CREAM INTO HIS FACE!... haha...
his uniform, shirt and pants dirtied, he wore the clothes he brought to play b.ball after school after that for the rest of the day in school... XP
o... and i even made a small video clip using the photo i took of his face with cream and those special that he used which "sucks" oil from the face (if u noe wat i mean.. XP)...

then...
there was the ISCA outreach in my house... 29th July... Saturday...
there was no Physics tution that day as my teacher had something on and did not go to school that day... so.. i could go home and join ISCA cell outreach that day...
basically.. we split into two equal groups... boys and girls and just played Taboo... ofcourse.. with food.. and drinks... celebrated someones' bday... was supposed to celebrate 2 ppl's... both girls... but one couldn't make it... for some unknown reason... (unknown to me at least... XP)
the highlight of this out reach was that whichever group lost had to drink a concosion made by the other team... at the first half... the boys were winning... so we persuaded the girls to drink something I made... XP i was very merciful... not to mention i let them just take a sip... very very merciful... really... (compared to what they made for us after that... T.T) here's the recipe (as i remember it... XP) :-

soft drinks(coke, sarsi, f&n Ice Cream, and orange juice mixed with sprite i think...)
soy sauce
pepper
curry
honey
chocolate birthday cake
one Halls candy
ribena
sunkist orange

that's all... i think... XP
but... in the end... we boys lost.. yah... we LOST...
and we said we would let them make another concosion for us if we lost and drink it on top of the one i made too...
and yah.. mine tasted much better than theirs... all i got to know was there was Vinegar, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Marmite in there!... no wonder is SMELLED so bad... not to mention the taste... argh... just thinking back makes me... well... makes me feel uncomfortable.. XP but anyway... we drank it all down anyway... and the whole thing was even recorded with my handphone too!... haha... certainly memorable... XP still waiting for the girls responsible to show me the COMPLETE recipe for that awful concosion... I WANNA KNOW WHAT I DRANK MAN!.. XS haha...

so... now... for the REAL event that happened... (yah.. those were just APPETIZERS man... XP haha...)
well... right after that wacko out reach... went straight away to ampang to attend a birthday party... yah.. a rich guy's bday.. (ofcourse... he is my friend.. from the next class.. one class WORSE than me... XP hahaha... juz jk there... don mean to offend anyone... really... ;P)
well... we had H*LL of a fun time there...
i won't go through ALL the details... but.. here are some of the HIGHLIGHTS... XP

after eating some stuff... playing and looking at others play a lil of basketball... sing happy birthday and let the bday boy blow his birthday candles.. our regular routine started... "CHAIR HIM!!!" hahahaha... yah... right in front of his mom... but his mom didn't mind... knew it was just pure fun.. she even LAUGHED... haha.. quite an open minded woman she was... and then we chaired a few other people... all Chong Hwa-rians obviously... and all boys.. (DUH~) this went on for like.. 30 mins? yah... we chaired quite a few people... all the other guests, who were not Chong Hwa-rians or were adults... and were girls just stared at us as we kept changing targets to be CHAIRed and ARUBAed.. and mid way... people started throwing water balloons... and spraying water.. even the other guests!.. ADULTS INCLUDED.. and yah... it was CHAOTIC!... but as usual.. some of the girls just ran into the house and hid in there looking at us go wild.. XP haha... pinned the bday boy again and sprayed water on him, threw water balloons on him... (pity him... XP haha...) we even PUT him into the pond!.. (it was shallow... we had the brains not to THROW him in...)

then... we were organised to play another game in which randomly picked people were to choose a card from the bday boy's hand... whoever picked the Joker would have to take an egg, which could be raw or boiled and hit the other person's (who picked a joker too) head... we played according to the rules for a while... and in the end... we ended up pinning the bday boy again and throwing all the eggs at him... raw or unraw... XP hahahaha... o... and my pants was also hit cause i was holding him still from the back by putting my arms below his armpit and then curling back to his neck... (dunno how to describe the action XS) and well... some of the RAW eggs hit my pants as the bday boy was struggling... XP

and well... that's the HIGHLIGHTS of the party... obviously... there was more.. XP

o.. and i noticed Lee Elaine was also there... yah.. that girl who juz won some record for being the youngest author to write a book on something about instruments... and yah... i knew here as she was in Chong Hwa when i was form 1 and form 2... and she was in the same class with me during form 1.. anyway... quite an achievement for a 16-year-old i would say.. didn't talk to her at the party as i did not notice her onli after others told me... couldn't recognize her until i saw the picture in theStar yesterday which was on the front page... XP well.. dunno wat to say... but... if u do happen to read this blog (which i doubt XP) CONGRATULATIONS GAL!.. XP

o.. and while we are on the topic of ACHIEVEMENTS... (XP)
i got a Consolation at the english essay writing competition in my school... haha..
took part in it for 3 years and finally got a CONSOLATION... XS
and all i got was a miserable piece of paper... a certificate... XS
well... it's not like i expected anything more SPECTACULAR anyway.. XP haha...

o well..
.....

been reading quite a few things at the same time lately...
LOTR (which i took quite long to read as i read it very slowly, even The Hobbit, and currently at the last book, Return of the King, already), Detective Conan (a comic.. XP) and a few other books... XP
and i haven't finished my HTML project!... it's been kinda stagnant lately.. XP hardly touched it... but i've gotta finish it soon...

so... that's all for now... tata~

"wise" phrases...

well... it seems like i haven't said all i wanted to... XP haha...
and since i'm updating some stuff... minus well just update my blog too... ;)

been thinking and getting some "wise" phrases lately...

-> we study to live, not live to study!!

-> i was born intelligent, it was education that ruined me. (XP haha)

-> Study more, know more. Know more, forget more. Forget more, know less. Why study then?? (HAHAHAHA...)

and this is the REFINED version for the LIFE IS ALL ABOUT PIECES OF PAPER...

We study piles of paper, (books)
To get a piece of paper, (certificate)
To study EVEN more paper, (EVEN MORE books)
And get more pieces of paper. (EVEN MORE qualifications)
We then use these papers,
To earn stacks and pieces of paper. (MONEY)


i pity all the trees... (XP)

o ya!...
in case you guys reading my blog was wondering why i use suck weird nicknames like BiBi, Frog, Pig, Cow, Ju Yok Weng, etc...
it is because i dont want to say their names out directly and onli people who really know these people will recognize these nicknames... hehe... i dont want to HURT these people and don wan to cause any thing because of me saying their names out... ESPECIALLy some people... my mom... who JUST dislikes me talking about her in this blog of MINE... even when i just say "mom"... not her NAME... -.-" haih...

so.. tat's all... i REALLY hope so.. XP haha...

gtg.. dinner time... ;)

really HIGH today :D | dreaming of upgrading my pc...

well.. our class, has been pretty known for CHAIRING people, aruba, and all sorts of "bullying".. (if that is what you want to call it... but actually both the "victim" and "bully" has fun... no real injuries done... ;))

just to shed some ligt on these few "technical" terms...

Chairing someone is to pin a person on the floor, and put a chair on him (not on his body, but at his side so he cant get up) and let some one sit on it... making him totally defenseless... hehe.. most of the time.. this is followed by drawing on the persons body... just his feet... BOTTOM of his feet preferbly XP haha... and mayb his body... this is onli done to those we know well and we know wont mind having some FUN... haha...

as for aruba... i think u guys shud hav heard it b4... it is to hold a guy up, spread his legs.. and "bang" the THING in between the legs on something.. like a pillar or door... we don't really bang it in.. just do it for fun... really... ;P haha... o ya... there is also a female version... called ajiba... XD haha...

so...
to the real content...

our school has this annual affair of sand papering tables and re-"Shilek"ing them... so... today was the day for this...
after everything was done... (with some humour and jokes along the way, which i m just to lazy to describe... XP) we were very HIGH... and we noticed that the form 5s opposite our class was starting some commotion (normally it was onli us... XP) so it sparked our "HIGHness" (XP)

first... our REGULAR.. mr. Mushroom... was ARUBAed to the door... with all the other people even from the form 5s looking at us... haha...

then... BiBi, kissed "Ju Yok Weng"... TWICE.. don't ask me what made him do that...
all i know is that Mr. JSR pretended to want to kiss him.. a few times before... but never really did... and BiBi just finished it for him today... XS
then... he continued to kiss Pig and Cow... swt...
took all their "first kiss" liao... kesihannya... XS haha...

then... with everyone's wrath...
we and the next class (BiBi's class)... we CHAIRED BIBI!!!.. o ya.. fyi... BiBi is VERY VERY FAT... we tried to chair and pin him b4.. but never could... this time.. we finally did it!!!.. WOOHOO!!... XP haha... Unity is Strength!!... XP hahaha...

phew... just thinking and retelling everything also makes me sweat... haha...
_________________________________________

haih...
Mr. Frog wants to buy a new computer...
asked me if buying his own parts and assembling his own pc is a good idea...
and well... i said yes... cause we can buy the parts we like and the total is actually cheaper than those that are bought set-up already... really... that is if you don't mind all the hassle of fixing all the hardware up and getting the softwares running... which actually... isn't very hard... XP

so.. as i was also DREAMING of upgrading my pc too...
we made up our mind to go to Low Yat and get the latest specs and prices...
so... we did... and we went... last Sunday..

i was there early as i went there straight after church service... so.. i bought movie tickets for them first and read Full Metal Alchemist comics in Borders while waiting for them.. XP
Yok Weng and Lui Lui came too... after a quick meal at McD in Time Square... we went to Low Yat.. asked around and gathered some of the price lists... but we were in quite a rush for we had to go back to TS to catch a movie... i went to watch Superman Returns while the others watched Pirates of the Caribbean 2...

well... i watched POTC2 the day before... because a friend of mine phoned me and said he could drive me there, AND BACK, wif his bro, my sis and another friend. So, since he is driving.. OFCOZ I'LL GO!! XP haha...

so... anyway...
back to the computer thing...
now... quite a few people want to upgrade their computers... or BUILD one too...
all because of me starting the hype... XP haha...
Frog needs to save up some money.. so he will buy his at the earliest at the end of the year...
Yok Weng has some financial support... (from his mom ofcoz).. so he wanted me to write a list of things to buy for him... XP and i did... quite good actually...
then there is Stool, Cow and Pig... Pig says he wants to upgrade his processor... and might upgrade it pretty soon...
anyway...
as i heard... there is a price war between AMD and Intel... so there will be a price slash in August... 40% or 60% i think i heard... should b 40%... XP
so... anyway... i advised them to buy their stuff in August... coz that's when the processors will drop in price, so as all the other stuff... for these IT stuff just never stop dropping in price... :| the longer you wait the cheaper it gets... but the more out-dated it becomes too... XS haih...

so... anyway...
these are MY DREAM PC upgrades.. not anything to scream for... but that's what i think we NORMAL CITIZENS can afford and is pretty good... FOR ME at least... XP

Pentium Dual Core 960 3.4GHz
2x512MB Kingston DDR2 667 PC5300
80GB Western Digital SATA2 HDD
200GB or 250GB "
a mother board which can support all the above...
a casing which can support the motherboard... (coz my present MoBo and casing is actually smaller than normal Mobos and casings... =.=" haizz... Acer...)
and mayb even a new PCI-E graphic card... coz new MoBos normally don't have AGP slots anymore... and my current graphic card is AGP... =.=" .. but that would be later... no $$ no talk... T.T

ok...
now lets get to the movie part... (so much to talk about lately... XP)

Pirates of the Caribbean 2 : Dead Man's Chest...
overall...
it was quite a nice movie...
packed with action and suspense.... not to mention humour and some totally FAKE scenes... like the part where Cap. Jack jumps over the cliff and lands on another like an athlete using a pole strapped to his back... and then falling so far down and not being injured... (well.. all movies are these fake anyway... XP)
but there is just one part i dont really like and find quite lame...
the part where those 3 men fight for the key to the chest... it was dragged way too long and was pretty lame... =.=" and Keira Knightley's line... "OOoh.. the heat..." and fainting.. that was like... SWTNESS!!!... =.=" haha...
anyway...
i like this movie... but the ending was really an anti-climax man... ARGH... wat a way to end a movie... Cap. Jack seemingly dead and his rebelled crew, Barbosa returning to life... woah.. just makes me unpatient for the next movie man!!...
THEY HAD IT IN THEIR HEADS TO MAKE A 3rd MOVIE AFTER ALL!!... tat's good actually.. but i juz don like endings like this... =.=" haha...
anyway.... i juz can't forget "I've got a jar of dirtt... I've got a jar of dirt... I've got a jar of di-..", PLOP PLOP PLOP... hahahahahaha... (don't know what this is? GO WATCH THE MOVIE!!!... hahaha)

as for Superman Returns...
well...
the story ain't too bad... quite true to the comic...
but the onli thing bad about it.. like many would say... is its slow pace... making it quite sien... the mushy mushy parts were just dragged too long... XS
my advise?...
well... unless you are really a superman fan... skip this movie...
yup... my honest opinion... (sorry Bryan Singer... XS)
