87. Kirchoff in Action

Personal/Study
There's actually plenty of electricity study materials that I would like to share and write about here. Either really nerd study material or life-joy-fun-crap-fun post.

So I've been going through some manuals and we're going to select a diagram for an assignment.

Suddenly this symbol appear. Wow after so many years since looking at electrical circuits I've never asked anyone or myself on this symbol. Or rather I've never come across it.


First thought is that it looks very similar to capacitor. But definitely I don't think so.

mmmm...

Just some info related to the symbol. It's in a temperature regulator circuit in an air-conditioning system of B737-200 aircraft.

Jun Guan, go go go go find it out. I've asked Joel too. Negative. Asked my brother, supposedly their senior sifu in the field...have not given me a reply.

Have fun. I am going to give you the answer after consulting my lecturer.

76. Buck Freezes Asses

Personal/Ideals
Welcome, people between Hell and Heaven. Nilai home here I am, already.

Well, let's try something new. Let's talk about lamp posts. hahaha

Sometimes dim. Sometimes bright. Sometimes enlightening. But when the road is dark, a lamp post lights partially the way. And there are possibly billions of lamp posts in the world. Just like acquaintances or merely like people in a society. They share a similar melancholy, they are lonely. Stuck at a spot. Motorists and pedestrians just pass by. For those that are totally alright with the situation, they serve their purpose full-time, light up the streets.

But for some others, they long for something else. That is why some lamp posts blow out or dim down.

No complaints here. No bragging here. Just a mindful connection I'm making of myself with lamp posts. hahaha hey don't go emotional or think of it as one. Of how many times I bragged before about myself being single, I am actually somewhat enjoying the freedom of being unattached in the heart (minus the family connection) and at a same time I long for a close if not intimate company.

So, with plenty soul-searching (Hooi's term) (not searching for mates) over the years I am still good to go in believing in enjoying the free-flowing life of being a single although I STILL get jealous at seeing cute/beautiful/sweet girls being owned (like Hooi said, "I feel wasted" gilaswine comment but anyway he's a little far away from being single so just beat it). But for most of them I respect them couples for making it through...just by looking la...superficially. Cos I know it's tough in making real love.

And then, finally I...

I am still a freeman. I am going to fulfill what I would like to do with freedom before getting any piece of my heart meat hooked. But if that time would be cut short, I guess I would want to handle things part-time. Unpredictable.

Not hinting. I just found my new refuge. Over new aspirations. Fresh expectations. Great flow of motivation. Over my new layout of workplace. Looks good.
Can look through the mirror if I want to "kap-kei" Jonathan at games. So there's the setup and wires all around for the action.

Enough of take on the lamp post journey. Let's move to Buck. Somewhat a similar topic.

Have you watched Ice Age 3. It's not bad. It's the only Ice Age movie I watched. Good for family. Good for friends. Good for anybody not too violent.

Good for lonely people. I like it. That weasel character, Buck. Is someone who I would like to resemble to myself. Minus the bravery and skillfulness. Adventurous. Loves the freedom and challenges he faces by being solo.

My new bedsheet. Thanks mum..I love it. Gray. With butterflies..~Little wing(s).
[you could use some viewing program/photoshop to do color inverse then you can see the original color]

It's weird though i could actually survive doing nothing or something that is perceived by myself as nothing when everybody out there get bored to hell sitting in their homes waiting patiently for some plans to be executed. Clearly, I have a strong sense of self-indulgence. Bad and good.huh

But I ain't a loner, some social outcast nor someone who isolates himself or estranged person. I have so much fun with friends ya noe..

I have the brotherhood. Thanks to all the brothers and sisters.

This is like the end of a live rock show. So i am feeling it. cos i'd never had the chance to do so. But if I have, then it's also the work of support from you brothers and sisters.
[actually it ended already...outdated statement]

No, actually the rock show has just begun...jeng jeng jeng

Thanks man, for the support, company, experience, lessons, motivation and ENERGY
uh no, no please not the Taiwan chinese boy band. This post is ending as a dedication as once again I have left my home sweet home Penang island. Killing my mother's feelings haaha.

Ah, the Ye-Wheen's Crybaby pedal I used for the wah recording.

Into 3rd semester. Gona end one half of my diploma program. kick-ass.

Have fun, check this out http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/death_cab_singer_slams_30_seconds_to_mars.html about acting rockstar.

oh if you are free, try check the song on Ixion's Wheel in my filefactory music player. The short lyrics is not bad. Nice touch on retribution.

Let me end the post with this excerpt from a Linkin Park song.
"Because say what you will, and say what you might
But don't ignore who it's for at the end of the night"~Dedicated, 1999

74. For the Time & Tide

Personal/Ideal/Review
BOOKS! Read books. Any book. When the 3rd semester kicks in, I will have to read the textbooks and do researches and reading. In that case, I will have less time for any other activity.

But come on, life's not 100% 24hours or an ongoing 52 x 7 x 24 x 60 x 60 seconds of career/study/money... So, I gotta fit in time for hobbies. Internet (without fail, wateva the activity is). Guitar. Exercise. Novels. Research.

So how am I going to fulfill my everyday's wish...to sleep well at the appropriate timing and duration. On free days during study period, I sleep usually at 1am and then wake up at either these times: 7.20am/ 10am/ 12pm. Or if I sleep damn late like at around 5am or at 6am I will wake up earliest at 1pm. If insomnia strucks like it happened a month ago during the study leave, sleep at 9am then wake up at 5pm. Game over.

During this current holidays, I do a usual 3am sleep and averaged 12pm waking up if no morning plans.

But for the new term and season, I have dug this out and put it in my to-do list to keep up some productivity level. Enter the model kit craft work.
This is not about Transformers at all.
My brother bought this years ago but never had started on it.
[Either my brother or I misplaced the cutter so it's missing]
He has another one, a Version Ka Wing Gundam..er..the hero's model in Gundam Wing's series. Maybe next year if he didn't manage to sell it off. And a Red Jagd Doga. Oh yeah I am a fan of Gundam. Model kits. Didn't exactly watch the shows except the movie for Gundam Wing.

Freedom Gundam - Gundam Seed 1/100 scaled MG kit.

Will aim for: Sazabi - - - - - great, me and brother were awed at the price long time ago that was RM500plus. Then at Times Square, we saw the price went down to RM250. But didn't think of buying anyway. Actually, it's waste. Now you can find it at around RM300plus. There's also the shining version at RM500. And at Queensbay, I found that they came out with the HG (a form of grading from highest: PG(perfect), MG(master), HG(high)) version with a smaller box packing and it's priced around RM100-RM200..forgotten.

Infinite Justice from Gundam Seed would do too. Great. Great. Great.

That's all for now. Countdown: 10 days left on Island. Kiss me as much as possible before I leave. I mean my ass. hahah

>>>>Kelvyn Yeang guitar clinic and Ocean Of Fire performance later..5th July 1300-1600hrs.

54. The Squall With New Reso

Personal/Ideals/Friends & Family
What? Resolutions again? Not over with the new year spirit? It's just that it's just so nice to feel and feel again about the fresh ambience surrounding this very year. How so? Maybe because so many things have passed and happened just so right that they are just too real to be true and there's like a pause or rest note in between. And then this new year. So I can't help talking about it over and over again.

I guess many do have this kind of feeling but not described in the way I did. Or just different sensory arousal amongst us.heh It's real. Because in my own thought, I view this life as a dream. So anything real is surreal. What do I believe? Eccentricity in the mind. Never mind, be merry.

Update and guitar review: Rock-A$$ ~new post

So..urm...Back to jungle. Continue the semester 2. With tougher subjects and assignment content expectations. And less holidays. So basically this handsome photo below depicts 2 object-based objectives.
Books and guitar.

In detail elaborated, the books mean studies and reading. It also stands for entertainment and education(which their order is in no particular priority).

The guitar means music and hobby. Of course if it's for professional then I would be seeing myself on the holy stage right now heh..so playing music as a hobby and a skill by ambition and dream to play with/like the gods. Guitar can be seen as stereotypical as you see a lot many people actually play guitar...good and nice. But I'm just not that kind, but never mind the image. As a aspiring player like many I ought to follow in their footsteps to improve.

So they both stand for entertainment and in them it's a basic termed learning. And entertainment and learning make up the "work hard, play hard" quote. That leads to the fundamental of time management. Manage time properly so we have time to play and work. Time to do work and study or read up. Time to play the guitar and listen to music.

Basically and practically, I am going to keep myself as quite busy as possible, meaning that I find time and use time properly for my studies and entertainment. It can't be all about eat, sleep, play, scream... My mission. Is not impossible. I wear Adidas. It is not nothing. But just being practical and quit wasting away. The Beef year...is going to be my steak-to-be calf learning year.

From this point onwards...read on only for fun ..just story-telling some friends activity thing for Chinese New Year festive mood.

This time, the overnight was at Khang Yang's. His sister's room. F. We didn't know at first. Of course, the sister was at other room. We actually only reached his home at almost 6am. After watching Red Cliff 2 which ended at around 11.30pm we headed to CC for intensive midnight gaming. The X Hero Siege was extremely taxing...energy draining imba cock. Economical gaming. It was around 4-5am we did, I mean I did a 115km/h shhh....dun tell the cop..it was exactly the road over the rows of factories parallel to the airport runway. blah..viva is not fit for that. Pelita 24hrs - nasi lemak + roti canai + teh ais.

KY brothel. You see...it's not a bad image but just a bad boy with good attitude/personality. Chortaiti lo...then Blackjack while YW shred with my Marshall. Ka-$-ching.. The cockerel crows.. The breakdown, at 8am. ZzzzZzzzz...My alarm is turned off as soon as it rang so we could get more sleep. ZzzzZzzzz...2pm. Continue card game. Ka-$-ching.. We went Queensbay again..(the same thing we did on the New Year day, back-to-back QB trip without bath) for Nando's. I didn't have a liking for it initially until I tasted the spiced chicken...oh no wonder I have forgotten how good actually Nando's tasted. Shortly after the lunch, I went to meet up with Meng Jon. As usual la, buddy meeting heh.. Balik rumah...

44. Forget & Wither

Personal
The number four. In chinese, as I know for dialects such as mandarin, hokkien and cantonese they are all pronounced similar to the word "die" which means die. So you see, most of Chinese owned automobiles won't have the number four for their number plates. Sixty nine is better right which is 69. So my post hits the two digits of four. WOW. So I got nothing special to storytell. Only disappointment and first time in my life I admit I regret.

Not putting extra effort in my Material & Hardware subject which is like studying History with chemical equations. But me, failing to do well in it 12 hours ago is like feeling worse than flunking history and bio altogether. Really. Really disgruntled. But let's not meddle with the past. I will look forward to the results. See if I can still achieve a flat cgpa of 4.00. Ambitious, lest I won't get to see myself achieving something like that in education in my life ever because semester 1 seriously is the simplest and easiest to score. Grr...

So I have another 11 hours to another paper, this one is similar to E&E. Electrical Fundamental I. And I haven't got my sleep yet. Yet another disappointment? Touchwood. 4 papers left and I'm off my jungle territory. Back to nest in around 4 days time, dudes and babes...

It's December, can you believe it? It was a year (-already-) ago I was done with SPM and now dealing with another kind...Ok. Take care. Cheers. See you around.

38. Saw Announcement + Jungle Oddities

Personal
Behold, Saw V.
I don't get to premiere it Yw or Hooi quickly get a copy by Christmas then we'll rock our balls at midnight..

Oh ya, gona catch the coming REAL soon movie, 007: Quantum of Solace. James Bond movies starting from Daniel Craig line are my favourites...more muscle-imploding action..not romance-hairy action =.=

Ahead:
*Information on my campus life*
*Boring grandpa story ahead*
*Nice for curious friends*
*Good for keeping in touch with my sanity, tell me if have become Tarzan then someone has to become Jane from the city

I found this, on a table in one of the classes. And days after that I found another drawing..

XD the term 'jungle' here is just a mere exaggeration. But it's widely accepted by all students here at my place that this place is jungle hah. It's actually just beside the highway leading to Nilai/Bangi interchange. But the fact that if you're on the highway and you want to come here you will need at least another journey of 45 minutes that makes this place "jungle". Plus, it's situated in an area surrounded with lush forests and hills with vast size of palm oil estates.

And yes, lots of roadkills(lots of types too) along the way... And at night with no lamp posts at all which forces the high light to be switched on, it's scary..why? Because you will come across a signboard in the pitch darkness which reads "Awas:Kanak-kanak melintas jalan".

It's at least 10 minutes from any convenient stores for food or entertainment. 15 minutes from UKM. 25 minutes from Kajang. 10 minutes from Inti Nilai. 13 minutes from Nilai College. 15 minutes from Nilai Giant store. At least 35 minutes of KTM to Midvalley. Another 15 minutes to KLCC. Around 1 hour and 45 minutes of KTM to Subang Jaya(Taylors la, Sunway etc). Next destination, Sungai Wang vicinity, Petaling Street and 1-Utama.

This is the model landscape of my campus. The part behind the buildings are supposed to be hills of lush estate of oil palm trees.

It's these quasar time and distances that make us "people from the jungle" haha.

What we normally do:
~Wake up and go to class(normal l0)
~After class, back to room to sleep either to rest for another class or for the whole day
~Use the spare time to play cards particularly chor tai tee
~Go to the bathroom and mandi beramai-ramai(in separate cubicles la)
~Do laundry also together(only if class schedule permits)
~Dine at the opposite seafood restaurant(ironic, seafood in jungle)
~Watch TV there until before curfew time(by 12am)-(this one is not my group culture)
~Play badminton from 11pm to 2am(played basketball(outdoor) too but accident occured so..)
~Enjoy instant noodles together at 3am
~Continue with card game
~Life discussion chatting until 6am
~Sleep the whole next day with only one complete meal(dinner)

I thought I have done this before..never mind, this is in extra detail haha

haah I slept at 7am the other day after calling back to home to wish my dad for his birthday. Some Muslims were already up for prayers. But parents haven't wake up because they took leaves from work. And I was told that Penang was given a day of holiday for some political aim. Funny. And I woke up at 4pm. Basically, this is a kind of culture in college/uni life huh.. either for entertainment or last minute brain inflating studies.

This was the culture in the past month, which is the bulan Ramadhan.. No sleep (or short naps only) until 4am. Ok down to the Student Centre for food. At less than RM5, we can shut the stomach's grumbling for the whole day. 5am, start sleeping. If got class, wake up at 8 or 8.30am. No class, then sleep till 5pm. This was how we coped with one particular copious amount of writing assignment....countless nights... 20 pages full..for only 4 pages of task. woohoo but plain fun. and midterm...serious brain wreckage.

The hangar.

Reasons to stay in hostel(nice advantages):
-fun community socialising
-close rapport among friends and classmates
-fun group studies in anyone's room
-(if my laptop can support great games..) connect with the whole block LAN and DoTA/CS !!!
-easy for group assignment discussion
-super close distance to library or classes
-can sleep until 5 minutes before class and never be caught late
-save big money for accomodation

Reasons not to stay in hostel:
-have to be hardworking and get chops(proofs of being active in campus activities) and compete with over 1000 people who would like to stay in the hostel the next semester
-boring same old food at the cafe-need to travel out to get "extra-ordinary" food
-if your neighbours are high-tech, then 5.1 sound system will accompany your group study
-if your neighbours are dirty, the corridor is gonna smell and be dirty
-if your neighbours are thiefs.....
-dirty toilets...especially the clogging of uncivilised maggi-mee disposal in the sinks
-smelly because most people do their businesses in "sleepy mode";bad accuracy
-all sorts of jungle lifeforms residing anywhere everywhere
-boring if there's nothing to do
-gotta respect the majority Muslims of alcohol/pork/food during puasa etc etc
-gotta bear with more lung cancer symptoms..

Top reasons to get out of hostel:
-the laundry room is constantly scourged by cat shit(DAMN SHIT!) everywhere
-smell is so so so so so shit
-INTI Nilai area life is better
-food there is so different(new to me, you won't find them in Penang
..but now I'm bored already)
-got CCs
-got Cs(but most of them got boyfriends d, sigh)
-hahaha

We should be moving out in the next semester...the house is only 10 minutes away.

The hostels from a distance.

hmm...know wat, long ago we had an meeting. It's a MIAT chinese community meeting haha. Seriously, you can count the number of chinese seniors studying here with 10 fingers..we alone(sem 1) make up already 10. So the fraternity actually grew larger. Cool people, especially in aviation field we get to befriend this kind of "I love aircrafts" people...most of them are from KL so it's interesting to hear about the life in KL...especially the clubs woohoo

ok la...30 more minutes I will have a shower and go for class at 8.30am in an hour time. I couldn't sleep. Got lots of stuffs running in my head and stomach's so full from the 4am meal. Hot sun rising already and thick fogs rising from the jungle.

~Sleeping at 7am is cool. Hear the morning bird chirpings as a lullaby to sleep and forget what's up for the day because you're gona wake up in the afternoon or evening anyway. Food is just all you need after that. Forget and wither...

I told my friend about life being short and beautiful. I referred it to the life of a butterfly. It can live so long as a caterpillar but after metamorphing into the new creature it could only last a week or so.. and about one week later i saw it dead, being carried by giant ants, feasting.
[the beautiful....]

{...this was written more than a month ago...}

This is the latest you could get of me..
Cool full-face helmet but this one's too big for me. Dear someone(s), please show this to Meng Jon, I want to let him see it. It belongs to a friend and he owns a bike, a Kawasaki ZZR250 exactly the same model Jon used to ride. Gona test ride it someday at the apron.

Reap the sowed..Rock ass people.

Anyway, because the writing(about my campus life) is written so long ago, it's outdated. HAHA

Quantum of Solace 2: Heartbreak Armageddon in the process.... The Funeral of Hearts was the prequel and a pilot. ..Allahhuakhbar..

Wishlist:
1. Music rhythm, coordination and speed muscle...and patience
2. Squier Telecaster + Marshall RM380/Roland Micro RM430 (this has been a 5 years wait and it has undergone countless decrease of hope and price) [Dad..I couldn't ask for less already, I only owned by own bicycle(and an unwillingly dreadful classical guitar)...brother's laptop, handphone, playstation(s);time for my own electric experience!

7. Make sure my family and friends back home are happy, safe and healthy.
8. Make sure my foes forget me.

11. Ok..final, I wish to make people happy and happy...

They are in no way of any priority order.

18 years of kick-ass life. Dedication of some new songs to myself and the people back in Penang(in the filefactory) hehe and my first time celebrating not at home without my family.

[song title word usage from Avenged Sevenfold - Radiant Eclipse and Atreyu - Slow Burn]

After this, it's City of Evil and then the Bat Country!YEAAARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!
{I'm heavily listening to Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu and Bullet For My Valentine, need more BFMV though hah but yeah, Hooi I'm starting to going through the songs you gave me many months ago}

It's the blues re-evolution time. Get ready.

(Tiger Beer time...)

A week ago, I arranged a dinner meet-up with Mou Jian, who is studying in INTI Nilai. That was the second time we meet. This time, a planned drinking meeting. We brought the vodka bought earlier by a friend/course-mate from Labuan(tax-free:whole lotta cheaper fux).

And so after our meal, we do the boozing. Left maybe around one quarter of the bottle. Let MJ try the wickedness of ultra pure vodka, which tasted like Scotch. The mix of the night was 7-Up. And then 3 persons got their face red. Me, being the "khekhiang"("berlagak") attempted a pure one-go bottoms up drink. It totally burnt my whole airway and the whole torso. Vision lagging occured minutes later to everyone. Haha, a mild one this time..unlike the first time 2 weeks ago which was followed by heavy head and dizziness. MJ enjoyed =D

Hostel room activity followed up. Card game and C&C Zero Hour LAN, 4vs4com. TOtal Body Annilihation. Brain wreckage also...of not studying at all. :s Nevermind. Body relaxation comes first..hehe

hmm..lyrics-writing have been coming back to me,after a two-years hiatus.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

On Saturday, I met up with Jason Teo who is studying in UTM for a Diploma in Aeronautics. My J-brother who is going to be in the aviation industry too. aha, I will have a post on this friendship thing.

Oh back to that, we and my friends from my study place actually blazed 6 shopping centres in one day. I think, it's more owning than women. First place being Berjaya Times Square. Then some gadget shopping at Lowyat. Lunch at Sungai Wang. A walk in Lot 10 and then a visit to Pavillion. Finally, bowling at midvalley. Spectated an underage(maybe around 12 years old) group of girls partying. Hot. I mean, they're dancing. They're really high. Non-stop. Fun. Rich kids.. And then a couple making out and foreplaying behind us. I didn't see it, I was informed so. Good outing with Jason, happy 12 years of friendship and J-brother-ship.

34. Break Stuff

Personal/Friends & Family
scheduled posting...by the time this post is posted I am in the class doing one of my midterm exam...

O k..holidays' over. What a life I experienced back in Penang, the island. Yeah, heavy endless rain and news of flood in the city, sad.. but yet, such fun..ain't it fun?

I drove a lot...until a point where my right leg becomes lazy to step for acceleration. So I went on a 40km/h city cruising, annoyed drivers please overtake me haha But no, most of the time I've been speeding, cutting, overtaking and no, I don't tailgate like Jonathan (haha!). It's fun and actually dangerous, think of your loved ones and the consequences when you think of attempting any speed stunts on the road. I always do, and I think that I get to reach them faster and see them sooner =D no la, that's not the point. My point is, THERE HAD BEEN SO MANY ROAD ACCIDENTS HAPPENING. They always happen but that was one day where I witnessed like more than 2 crash sites in a day. Scary. And ya, I inter-knock my sidemirror with someone else's. Not good.

So, it's been fun and pleasurable doing all the activities with friends back there. Meeting and visiting people, cheer up and cast a rain of smiles. Especially visiting my former babysitter with guavas for her...I hope I'd make her happy. The proud thing is I went alone and had a sit and get to eat her homemade jelly "chai-ean" and watching the kids play. They all have grown up so much...who I used to help babysit 8 years ago. fyi my babysitter, she used to babysit our Malaysia's Squash player Nicol David too..proud eh..

And for a reunion with friends. Pretty much joyful. We did like countless of CC outings..bowling games and pool. erh..and consecutive Fettes Park western food. Oh, tau lau juak for a farewell for Shen How. Our future doctor, who just went to Russia for his medicine studies. 6 years-ordeal urh.. As I know, my form 5 class monitor Jeffrey and another guy Edwin are the people who are pursuing medicine. Cool. All the best to them.

This. People who are not in Penang anymore... From right, that's Jonathan, Daniel, X and Andrew. Daniel's in Nottingham and Andrew in Singapore...Nottingham in Semenyih...hehe
[ah...cool growing up photo, thanks to Andrew for the capture and Daniel for sending. btw that's my belt protruded not anything else hah]

Spent most of the time with Ah Hooi la...lonely rocker. DAMN...RM250 for the whole electric guitar package from Andrew. Yeah, never mind I get to at least touch and feel the power before pressing my balls for the next near 3 months. Wait for me!!! I shall come back and complete the harmonizing. And I had the best so far in my experience nasi kandar woohoo...at RM7.50; pahaayam kicap, telur puyuh and daging kambing ketul...fux I will dearly miss it.

Aiya...don't get to spend more time with this buddy la, Mr. Jon...he's darn occupied...never mind haha as long as everybody is happy..

Did shoppings....got 2 new jerseys, sports tops which are so comfortable hopefully they will serve me well in sports. A replacement for my broken tumbler bottle. Got my favourite windbreaker from my aunt yay. And most importantly new sets of underwear...YEARGH! haha

That should summarize a bit or so on the things I did back at home sweet home...it's fun except for the part I have to rush(still slacking) for my homework. At home, I'm really the part-time slacker I once was...eat, play guitar, air drum while listening to music, then sleep and repeat. Or sleep, computer, chat, eat and repeat. Not productive. Only hiking and walk rounds with Hooi sum up the hard work I had. and yeah, new additions of music into my laptop playlist. Jonathan should be fully equipped with games too! There goes the studying motivation...oh yeah, vodka and chocolates from friends from abroad. Hopefully alcohol and cigarettes don't make up a part of me in future...kuatkan iman!

OH YA! Forgotten! Khang Yang's birthday! hahaha We went to celebrate for him. Birthday cake and KFC, and a pair of white school shoes which he need too. 18 years old people....I'm gonna join them soon woohoo...condom sales will shoot up too soon.

[Song title thievery from Limpbizkit - Break Stuff]

Back to jungle life, dudes and babes. Take care and cheers. All the best people =D

27. The Sub-Bang

Personal
~It's cool and rainy these days...

[warning: new hairstyle ahead]

I just have to post it up, it's just too beautiful..



An assignment, presentation of the part wing(self-picked) with a model at an exhibition.
The process:

[snacks..as energy]
[..(hard)work..]
[Jonathan, X and Chief Engineer Nizamuddin.]

I hope it does look like a wing to you. This is the story, the under-construction wing that you just saw in the photo was scrapped due to the difficulty in wrapping it up...so the chief engineer took it home and made a new one by himself and fell sick. Truly an engineer hah
After the presentation.
[The 1-Aero-1 wing part group: Faja(class monitor), Nizam, X and Jonat]
[Look at the hair DOT DOT DOT you know StreetFighter's Guile(or etc)~broomhead?..saddd]

Disappointing...not so good comments came out from the lecturer's mouth. Anyway, she's the only judge and the audiences were made up of random people from the other booths and visitors from other class. Not bad. Our booth had the most chicks(with tudung la) spectating. waha


AND this surely looks like the real deal. Seriously. Made by a member in my friend's group. Seriously..the real deal. Styrofoam as base. With real rivets as cosmetics, movable exact parts etc..pure ownage. MF!

wooh this would be the latest of me. Self-indulgence..chei..no la I wanna send this to my parents to show them their big boy XD
[i tell u wat..the hair is much more cooler right now(not the picture) hahahahaha]

26. The Medium Bang

Personal/Ideals

New hairstyle...
It looks new and erm...not sure I like it or not but I laugh every time I look at my shadow or into the mirror citing the shape of the crown.

Anyway, never mind. New style though. Head is lighter now. Shortest hair length ever since erm September 22nd 2007, the last student style haircut ..woohoo.. yes I keep the dates in my head. Not bad eh, senior cut at RM12 compared to RM21 for the same level at Passion in Penang. muaha
XD

Olympics 2008. Lee Chong Wei lost to Lin Dan. A spectacular loss. First set at 12-21 and then something like 7-21. Pure power loss.
Major disadvantage: The muscles. Sooo big, difference. And Lin Dan applied a great tactic in my opinion which put Chong Wei at the edge. The way he orchestrated the play, especially giving the hit which forces Chong Wei to run to the back. And with small muscle comes small power-packed hit. At least, in my opinion. And Lin Dan is faster at recovery from desperate low attacks. Overall, both performed well(because they are both better than me for sure) hahah. erh, sorry for the non-badminton terms I used. Why didn't anyone give a... HULK SMASHHHHH!!!

Hmm...brain wreckage...haven't been doing sports in a while. Most of the time chor tai tee in the room only and sleep sleep sleep

Workload piling up like at the Malaysia dump amount increment rate. So sleeping is vital. But not bad I've been able to stay static with eyes opened and ears opened a tunnel from left to right but mind on the bed during the lectures. Nevermind, it's ok..as long as you attend the lectures and receive the charm of knowledge. bla bla bla

And know what, I like the LAN Moral Studies' method of explanations. Imagine reading or listening to Stressm principles from Jared. Sometimes out-of-the-world... krappy.. subtle... meaningful but inexplanatory...etc wtf. But it ain't gona be good for my revision and exams. Shit happens at times.

But I still like it, I like it out-of-the-mind visualisation. Subjective with a hint. Quantum and superstring. whatever la..just make sure I don't fail it.

hmm...sickness never ends here, an unbroken cycle..especially with mucous and phlegms, maybe very much aggravated by lots of smoke. So the only source of pollution in this jungle is mostly Dunhill and Winston. Lungs cancer. Hypoxia.

But this one is really good, trust me. My dad has and uses it. Oh ya...want to know something? Big Bikes. Great Bikes. WAH! So far, Ducati. Suzuki. Kawasaki. And the largest and latest spotted, another Kawasaki. I only managed to get pictures of the Ducati. Inconvenient for me to post so just type search Ducati bikes in your browser. That kind of bikes..superbikes. The latest Kawasaki is a ZX-10R, imagine it. Brand new..at least if not maybe 1 year old. 1000cc sports racer! This paragraph is only dedicated to 2-wheeler lovers/fans.

Next update coming soon..
..No Stressm talk this new season..

23. I'm Not Home

Personal
I learn to...
{not in the mood to type..}
Why?
Not in the upbeat music rocking environment.
Is in the library, with plenty of people around.
No feeling of privacy. hah
I will complete this soon.
Cheers people.
By the way, I am not in KL la...I am in Dengkil! Or Sepang. haha
[1st Physics & Aerodynamics class assignment done in 30minutes...woohoo..]
- - - - - - -
Twist of fate. I earlier decided to stop dead this post while I was in the toilet. But I decided again to continue it after returning from toilet the following day. I wrote this in a very nice environment. Offline, I wrote this in a piece of text document before posting it. Nice environment=music+privacy. Even though there's a friend watching me now. And Jonathan taking a nap.

[A sound recording of our self-proclaimed motto/rally after a student made that funny MIAT rally]

So, 2 weeks(only?) have passed. The first 4 days of Orientation handled by the seniors were awful. I mean really, not the usual seniority ragging.. but the mental and physical torture that only make you feel like you have came to wrong place. It's not really the senior's fault. It's this one @#$%^&U* who took advantage of the blissful 2-4am time to punish us. Demoralizing. I'm not the only one who wish to express this. There's many others out there who loathed him too. Slept only more or less 5 hours in 3 days and nights.

However, the group fun activities and meal times were really fun. Especially sharing joyful moments with new friends from all over Malaysia with different slangs, accents, and styles. We learn a lot of fun stuffs like dances and claps...heard of Chicken Dance? Yeah, that's actually famous. We learnt to live in harmony. Actually only within the group heh.. It's more of a competition among groups in the games. Intimidating. More over, my group mates were consisted of the people staying in the same floor of our hostel. So it's kinda like really good relationship. Neighbourship. My chinese friends were all mostly from Borneo. waha... one from Labuan, one from Kuching, one from Sabah. Another who is a Siamese from Kedah. And the girls who enrolled are all, girls with tudungs... There's only one who is an international student from Pakistan who stood out from all of them and not wearing a tudung.

So, ..(i have been to Midvalley twice already since being here..woohoo good place to cleanse the mind and the eyes)(argh..i gotta learn to sustain eye contact longer and strike machoness...hmph),

So, basically coming from 300 plus kilometres away from home to study is a stage in life where I learn to be independent. Or at least, more independent. Bangun pagi gosok gigi salin pakaian eh mandi dulu...taklah begini, susah betul. Wake up, look at the clock, back to sleep, wake up OH HOLY MIAT it's 9.30am!!! That happened the previous Friday, the last day of the orientation for the school admin to give briefings on the studies we will have. Yeah shit happens for real. It's the 6th day staying in hostel. Jonathan and I overslept and didn't make it for the first two talks. Coincidentally, many others didn't turn up too so one of the admin guy gave a warning,those who didn't come later in the evening will face disclipine action. Of course we made it.

Our class leader is the smallest guy in size haha he is being made fun of by every lecturer who attended class this week. Lots of changes in the timetable..very bad. So the worst thing ever expected, my class got an off-day on Wednesday. Dumb.

6 subjects, want me to list them down? Ok I try.... Moral Studies(LAN), Technical Mathematics I, Aviation English Foundation, Physics & Aerodynamics, Material & Hardware and Electrical Fundamental I. Sounds fun? The final result is based on 10% of quiz, 10% of Midterm exam, 50% of assignments and practicals, and 30% from Finals exam. Also maximum of 10% absence without reason from the total study hours, which is rounded up to 3 days. Fun stuff heh. A lecturer said it's easier like this compared to 100% result from Finals in the past. The passing mark is 75% to be able to continue into the next semester studies. Maximum of 4 failures after that the whole semester will have to be repeated. Less than that, then a retake of the particular subject in the next semester. Means more shit time. This I think applies similarly to the other schools in our tertiary education system.

So basically study hard, work hard and concentrate hard...serious sick future, man.. this career in aviation is all about work. My physics teacher said, it's all about safety. A few doctors in an operation theatre can do a mistake and kill one life. But if an engineer wrongly certifies for a unsafe plane to fly, hundreds of lives perish. I'm not boasting off my career prospect la but just, I gotta work hard from now on. Be it pilot or what... These only matter to me in the future, DCA, LWTR, EASA, CAT A ~777, CAT B ~737, LAE/LAME, PPL, CPL, ATPL, 747, 777, 4 Bars, Medal of #$%^&*, A340...etc, CIMB, retire with KWSP then rest in peace with honour. Alhamdullilah and Insya-Allah everything goes on well with full HP bar. haha

I miss homecook food la. I've been porkless for 2 weeks. My friend said, "bo chiak bak wa ai ki siao liao...".

And it's a smoking community here...dunhill/salem/pall mall/mild seven/semporna.. 1 upon waking up. 1 before brushing teeth. 1 after bath. 1 before meal. 1 after meal. 1 on the way back to room. 2 in the room. 1 on the way to class. 1 after class. 1 in the room. 1 on the way to laundry. 1 after the laundry. 1 after bath. 1 while homeworking. 1 on the way to lunch. 1 after lunch. 1 after nap. 1 before class. 1 after class. 1 before dinner. 1 after dinner. 1 in the room. 1 while trying to sleep. So there's at least 24 ***batangs*** a day for the nicotine fix. hah

18. Rolling Mechanical Random Miscalculation Rectum Malfunction

Friends & Family
There is an update in my Steamboat Dinner post.

Warning: (maybe very) Long post ahead. Good read for good ol' friends. AND a spin-off at the end of this post.


Hooi! Meng Jon! If we were to be the pilots doing this stunt, we would end up like in Battlefield. Inclining horizontal tilted crash. Superb and Magnificent.. A low flyby.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYfhC9ft_hk&feature=related

The author who posted this video wrote this statement for the above aeroplane manoeuvering stunt in his info:

"PILOTS, DON'T TRY THIS BY YOURSELVES! MANEUVERS SHOWN HERE WERE INTENSIVELY TRAINED BEFORE THIS AIRSHOW, INCLUDING POSSIBLE EVENTUALITIES LIKE CROSSWIND, WINDSHEAR, AND VARIOUS FAILURES THAT CAN OCCUR. SAFETY IS ALWAYS THE FIRST TO OBSERVE IN A FLIGHT, SPECIALLY IN AIRSHOWS! I spoke with an A310 TAP pilot. Following are FACTS, NOT RUMORS:
1. Capt. César Brito is still flying, because he did in the airshow EXACTLY what was planned and trained to do. That was not a stupid idea executed in a moment, it took weeks of preparation.
2. Brito knew perfectly how Evora airfield is. He's playing with an optical effect; the other side's ground has a slightly downward form.

3. Co-pilot was another A310 commander, and during the show he was focused in altitude to continuously report to César.

4. Plane passed a complete overhaul just before this airshow, so the risk of failures was minimum.

5. Plane continued flying with passengers until retired soon, but after a reccommended inspection by Airbus officials.
"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd2AoYtTcFg&feature=related

This is a real footage of an A320 fighting crosswinds while attempting to land. It was a 26 year old female co-pilot who managed to pull away and brought the plane back to safety. At time 00:40, you can see the wing touching the runway slightly-they called it wingstrike. Imagine being the passenger sitting next to the wing at the window spot;eyes-wide-opened mouth stammering, "Oh I saw Jesus playing at the edge".
...
..
The following texts are dedicated to the people who worked in the Room and who liked the Room.

Time flies ya, Ye-Wheen. It's been 6 months since you left us. My turn, soon. This is my version of In Retrospect since I facelifted that section into my own "Eureka, New idea!". Last year, at this time of the year we were super stressed f* rushing towards the deadline. And Wei Loon suddenly announced, "I am going to China for 2 weeks". Jared replied, "m**ei ganja, then we have to do Admin for u d la". But hah, he came back his section untouched so he did it himself by Mabel's side for weeks until early September. Less than 10 weeks from SPM. Imagine. Headbanging the keyboard table is a trend. Hearing Seow groaning while holding the CGL mag is another common sight. Then there's Ian pitifully got his reserved Macs snatched. Then, there was this Razeen who acted as if he's my dog. No I didn't treat you like a dog, don't be scared. I'm rendered useless if it wasn't for him helping out others to design. Come on, who the hell did my Editorial design for me? That genius who hailed from Jrock Kingdom. Come let me elaborate on what I wrote in "Before The End" just in case some people press charges for lack of information heh;
Eric, Best Entertainer. You see this Capel guy, he's always playing Mika or MCR so that's amusing and he liked to hug us so we don't feel lonely.
Razor, Best Money Collector. That is already an answer but my statement, "the colorful world needs you" explained that, ...black is a colour right?
Ian, Best "screwdriver". Having a good time burning the juniors' ass huh during the interview session and post-mortems. That saved lives but that two rich f*ass failed though.
YW, Best Headbanger. Too much about you already, my every sentence here are all related to you. You are the master, you are the slave, you are the mastermind, you are the sick mofo.
Joel, Best Sub-Ed. I regretted giving you that title. Just kidding. We wasted most of our lives in 5 Cekal.. haha. A teacher reported, "Joel lari apabila nampak Kavitha".LTMAC
Marcusy, Best worker. True enough. You are a full-time. But I hate to see you lonely and looking like as if Jared'd ruined a day of your life. Motivation! I owe you maybe RM10 of your Ex5 fuel charge.
Chuin, Best Time Spender. Actually I've ran out of creative titles. But you did spend your time well. Checkers. Nasi Lemak. Uniform check(for my belt!).
Seow, Best Voice(& Lips). KNN, your voice is the next World Idol, baby. We enjoyed listening to you since form 3, right Hooi. And I like the way you walked into the room as if searching for money borrowers.
Cubix, Best Complaint-free Worker. Basically, you couldn't complain. So much of Yui wouldn't help, dun emo d k, those days were over. Ramli and LeeEweImm's face turned out fine.
William, Best Beatle Fan. Needless to say, the guy who brought in those 60s' into the room to battle our rocks and metals. Sorry, we won. Even LIPS' crooning over Aerosmith's I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.
Jonathan Toh, Best Shadowy Member. It's a trend in the Board and a line from the prophecy. Anyway, one way or another I just felt I was just like you but more brilliant, I enjoyed the air-conded Room more.

Ah, think of it, I just thought I could and should have so much as the head. But unfortunately I only learnt it now. I could have planned nicely and discussed with the knights of the round table to schedule whose time and turn to rape the Mac so Ye-Wheen doesn't reign supreme. Too bad, he's the Beauty Expert so I can't go against the threat of having the front cover empty. But still it was epitomized with the certain smallest thing from him, eternally like Sonnet 18. Good job.

[My boys..]
Never THE less, all is over and done. Thank you Miss Mableh. Thank you Mr. Ramli for not giving me new-age troubles and your virtuous Vision 2010 plans. This is a continuation of my Editorial. Thank you to those who supported me and the whole team since 2006, though you might not read this but you are certainly the energy that drove me and the reason I still kept strong until the end. "One for all, all for one; WE ARE ONE!"[excerpt from Arch Enemy's Nemesis]

Here we go, the completed Eric's post on the good ol' mfking twisted spleen stress anorexic ass splitting Editorial Board days. He has a better retouched of the above photo. Clearer. Crisper. Orgasmic.

Now for the people who punched me, lent money to me, carried me when I fractured my forearm, copied my homework and treated me to food and movies. My highway started in 1997 where I met and knew all the people revolving around me now. And actually my friends mostly comprised of humans aptly named names with the initial 'J'. haah. My first closest friends were Jason, Jon and Joel Hoo. So the teacher gave us a brand, the "J Brothers". Jon has been in touch with me ever since, (11 years and 6 months by now) Jason still in touch but we don't meet each other often and Joel had long parted with us since year 2000. You know what special connection lies in the J Brothers? Our surnames and last personal name. Teo is of hakka family, Teoh is of Teochew and Cheong is of cantonese and all of them are of the same family name. Jie, Jung and Jon are our last personal names. What can I say about Jon? I kick his ass, he kicks my butt. We were brothers but we're not brothers at all. We're not even buddies, we don't help each other haah. As he said before, "your best friend is your worst enemy". True?

What more? oh nothing much so interesting from my primary school life. Mostly individual personal stories. Like everyone knew what happened between my first crush and me. Cut it. It's 6 years old story already. Move to secondary school life. ah, as the year gets older the events got more interesting. My form 1 life basically revolved around my Sea Scout life which I gave priority to over my studies. So I went into the second last class. But I still never fail to connect with Hooi and YW for our daily doses of music. Despair in the gloomy class, I worked super hard and topped the position in the class twice. That brought me back into mainstream. Reunited with Jon and Hooi in a same class. That was form 3. haha Referring to YW's life post, the Baiduri class engaging in battles with Mutiara class.

After PMR, all hell break loose. The pressure of injecting 3 Science branches into the head. It's not easy. Plus, the sejarah text book. wth. Plus, the Moral nilai(s). wth. The latter two subjects which I got A2 in SPM. That's intentional. haah. Form 4 was my year of collaboration with Khang Yang who taught me to be hardworking. Year 2007 was the best for me and most. It's truly about rock n' roll, drugs, boozing and sex. hey, guys, remember our handmade cigarettes...fuhh, sangat kao. They freaked the photography club meeting totally with real smoke and burning scent. And, a memory for Hooi and his groin at his first time trying out Jon's ZZR.

To the former students of this class or the wives, girlfriends, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, slaves, masters, of the the former students: You can take the photo from here. My regards. Courtesy goes to the Editorial Board photographers who captured it.

It's also the f* year I started to socialize more. Meeting new people and making new friends. Specifically, girls. From everywhere, in the universe. Ahh, the period I missed most was the SPM-tekan-bola days. My house became the checkpoint for group studying that didn't worked at all. It's more of a Hokkien Speaking Lesson. And yeah, first Biology tuition for tips. Khang Yang's primary aim was to meet the cute receptionist there. In LPC's tuition classes, there're BB, choobee and ...THE MAN!!!(roar like Dani Filth). hehe They were girls from Convent Light Street. YW and I snatching BB(got fate ok, OK U GOT FATE because you saw her first after SPM at gurney then u shared it with me heh), Hooi analysing The Man's femininity and fantasizing someone as someone else, KY-raisins for LPC and Jonathan, duk buat blow dahlah muka macam k*. Laugh Out Loud moments. Then it all ended with colourful hairstyles. There was this Genting trip too. Ethereal, 5 months had passed since the end of 2007.

So much for such brief reminiscence. How are you people already? Look at us, all grown up and growing hair all over the wonderful places(excerpt from Guru Pitka). Earning big bucks. Spending on the latest trendy lingerie for your wives. Hitting on your bosses' customers. Learning the way of Life. Move on dudes and babes, we shall shout at the devil.

[song title thievery from Shout At The Devil by Motley Crue]

See, we all should laugh together more often and cheers...

June 14th - BBQ Dinner at Abbas Beach

Night. A farewell party for Wei Loon. Revellers: Cheng Yee, Ian, Seow, YW, Jared, Chiang, Wei Loon, Sze Chuin, Eiven, Marcus, Eric, and Jason Siew. Catch crabs. BBQ. Chicken wings. Chicken pieces of meat. Sotong Balls. Stingray. Sausages. Fish fillets. Toast & Sardine. Soft drinks. Alcohols worth over RM50.
Darn...alcohol with all the taxes charged, it cost so f* much.
Same goes to tobacco rolls... This(pic) is an advert with the message intended to stop teenagers from start smoking young.
Beers... they all taste the same. Well, we're no alcohol expert and we're not experimenting the tastes properly, we just go revel in dirty boozing so all the different brands and makes of the beers taste the same. I'd say Tiger has a sweet touch. The others, plain kao and khaw sensation. Cheng Yee still loves Vodka better. And YW and I would say Scotch Whisky still own all other C2H50H.
The official closing of the BBQ party. The ritual for the burial of the charcoal which had served us good heating for our food.

The BBQ party photos uploaded above are of courtesy of Marcus Lim.
