30 second hiccup cure

2011-08-29T13:52:00.000-07:00

I got this hiccup which was annoying when i was working night shift, it actually lasted longer than it usually do when i get it. I tried the normal method of drinking water, but it didn't work. Then i used google. I found a link and tried the "30 second hiccup cure". It really worked. Just follow step 1 -6 until your hiccup cures.

Step 1: Start by inhaling through your mouth until your lungs feel full (when it feels like you cannot inhale any more.... your lungs will basically stop taking in air).

Step 2: Swallow. You are not really swallowing anything but it seems that without this act, it doesn’t work. Do not let any air out.

Step 3: Now inhale some more until your lungs feel full again. You may not be able to inhale a lot, but do get some more air in. It will start to get difficult to do this as you go, but keep trying. You obviously can’t suck in as much air as you did initially, but just a little will do (think of it as taking a “sip” of air but directly into your lungs).

Step 4: Swallow again. This too will start to get difficult as you go. Do not let any air out.

Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 (inhale and swallow) until you cannot swallow again. While it seems you can almost always suck in just a little more air, it is actually the swallowing that gets to be impossible. When you feel like you cannot swallow again, swallow again anyway. It will be hard to do, your face will probably turn red, and you may make squeaking sounds. But you CAN swallow one last time. By this time, your lungs should also be quite full and it should be difficult to get much more air in as well. While you should try not to let any air out, if you have really repeated steps 3 and 4 as many times as you can, you probably will end up letting a little air out before you can take that last swallow. If you find that air keeps escaping out of your nose even early in the process, try squeezing it shut with your fingers.

Step 6: Exhale.

Recover back booting problem with Windows 7 after removing Ubuntu

2011-08-17T21:33:00.000-07:00

Hi all,

Another thing I would share here based on my recent experience. I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 earlier using boot cd long ago and it was installed in a different partition in a different disk. Yesterday I thought of uninstalling it but based on my search, if it is installed using boot cd, we need to delete the partition where the Ubuntu is installed. So i proceed to delete the partition with disk management utility in Windows 7. After that, when i reboot the machine, it is unable to boot to Windows 7, it shows some error and "grub rescue>" DOS command. Tried some commands but didn't work.

So at last i inserted my Windows 7 dvd to the dvd drive, boot the machine using the cd and try to repair it. In the first screen that appear, there is an option to install windows, below it there is options to "repair your computer". Click on "repair your computer". Once clicked, it will go to another screen with options to repair such as memory recovery, startup recovery and so on. Click on open command prompt. Once a command prompt is opened, type in "bootrec.exe" without the quotes and press enter. It will show the options you can use under that command to fix issues and descriptions about it. For me, i did all of it. Example, the first option that is displayed there is /FixMbr to fix the master boot record. So type in "bootrec.exe /FixMbr" without the quotes and press enter. There will be a result of the command execution displayed at the command prompt screen itself. Do the same thing by changing the term after / with the other 3 option that is displayed. Example the next one would be "bootrec.exe /FixBoot". After all command is executed, you can reboot your machine and see that it will boot fine with Windows 7.

Hope I can share this tips to everyone out there!

A rainy sunday

2011-05-15T02:21:00.000-07:00

I woke up, its a rainy sunday morning, nice cool breeze with the urge to fall asleep again. Then i started to wonder about my money, why is it getting less to fast, there must be a reason. There was a lot of spending in this month due to moving to new house, car service, etc. Now i am in the mood that what i had way back during study time where we will try our best to save as much as possible. Even now i'm thinking what to eat, and let it be less consuming money. Guess i gotta plan in the next income on how to spend on it, maybe get some plans on saving it.

Facebook Tips: Recall a friend request

2011-02-17T03:34:00.000-08:00

Facebook Tips:

In order to recall a friend request in Facebook that is long pending approval, go to the profile page of the other party and there is a link 'cancel friend request' under the profile picture at left bottom.

This can eliminate unwanted updates from the other party coming on your news feed and eliminate the 'waiting' for approval of a friend request.

Viewing network connections in Windows 7

2011-02-16T02:27:00.000-08:00

Windows 7 users must be wondering how to view network connections in a window like the one in Windows XP. Here it is, go to start > type ncpa.cpl in the search box and press enter. This will bring you to a separate window showing you the network connections in the PC that can't be viewed via control panel (normal way).

This method can be used in Windows XP as well by typing the same command in (start > run) field box. This can eliminate unnecessary time spent by going through the control panel and such. :D

Wednesday

2011-01-05T02:57:00.000-08:00

2010

2010-12-29T19:38:00.000-08:00

Now that Christmas has just ended, new year awaits, one day more to celebrate the new year 2011. Well, many things have happened this year, most of it are my wishes that came true. First of all, I managed to grad, get a job, get a new car. It is really wonderful to have all in one year itself very fast. Things in life have changed, my expectations, my goals, my daily routine, now it is not like typical student life, but more to a busy life but yet an enjoying one.

Sometimes i get too bored, since i have 4 days off due to current work routine and time, i hope life would be better and I would seriously want to meet someone better in life that can change this to a wonderful life - this can be my new year resolution :D

I'm getting more open in thinking, 2010 has showed me a lot of lessons, most of it for the good, some are bad incidents like my car accident, i miss my datsun but it is meant to be like this. I plan to just move on as i know more opportunities and reward awaits me in 2011.

The one thing that made me going all this while in 2010 is confidence. Things that never seem to be easy to be done or achieved made possible by me because of my mere confidence that nothing is impossible.

Another great thing to see in 2010 was Malaysia my country i was born won a quite high soccer competition in history after last in 1989 and now its at 2010 end. Its the winning of Asian Football Federation Suzuki Cup 2010 after beating Indonesia 4-2 in a fan-packed tournament in history.

I personally looking for a great 2011 ahead and its Rabbit year according to Chinese calendar so we'll hope for a fast paced year i guess ;)

Dream 25 December 2010

2010-12-25T16:19:00.000-08:00

I've been getting weird dreams lately, some of them are very interesting, some of them even scary, i think every dream has a message, well just hours ago i dreamt a "nightmare" where a couple of people including me when for a "vacation" like trip and went to a one isolated hospital to visit the area. What happened was, we saw a doctor, he said there is a closed room just nearby in the hospital itself that is haunted by at least 4 ghosts. He also added that the ghosts will start to "attack" if the public tend to open the door of the room and do some insulting stuff. After meeting the doctor, we all went out of the doctor's room and was looking around the "haunted room" and suddenly a bunch of people from our trip straight away opened the door and did some insulting stuff like screaming and yelling to see what happens. That moment was like the disaster moment for me as i can't do anything to prevent them. After they did that, they just closed the door and ran away. Apparently, me and my close friend was trapped where the haunted room is at our way out. All others that caused the trouble managed to run away. Then when we both try to run away also, but the actual problem started. The haunted room's door opened slowly without anybody around with the scary squeaking sound. I and my friend could not do anything as we expected the outcome as the doctor told us. We both managed to hide behind a wall where it is blocking vision so that anything that comes from the haunted room could not see us. We both just lied down on the floor and just prayed with our eyes closed so that anything bad won't happen. Suddenly, I felt some force came and hold my body that I can't even move. It made me to open my eyes and see what is happening in front of me even I don't want to. When I opened my eyes, I saw a lady ghost came slowly towards me and started to talk to me. I was scared that I could not even open my mouth to talk. That ghost actually told me one thing - "Tell your friends out there, we do not disturb your life if you don't disturb our life." I was like "Okay, okay..I'll inform them." . The ghost message was quite stern as it really meant what it was saying to me. After that my friend got "interviewed" by the ghost, I don't know what the ghost asked him, but still remember what it told me. After a while everything went back to normal as the ghost flew away back to its place and we both straight away went out of the hospital. To our suprise, all the others in the trip including the one disturbed the ghost looking at me as if nothing has happened. I only remember the place was a hospital and it was surrounded my forest like jungle.

I can remember this much as there was not much after that. But one thing I need to tell you guys - "Ghost don't disturb your life if you don't disturb them." as the ghost said in my dream.

Tired

2010-11-29T01:03:00.000-08:00

Just got back from a hectic night shift and after waking up from sleep, 1 day off and going to work again to night shift for 4 days.

Out of Focus

2010-10-03T12:24:00.000-07:00

I woke up out of a sudden around 2.30am in the morning knowing that i've went through multiple dreams while was asleep. Guess my timing of sleep, meal and work has gone haywire! I'm sleeping when i'm not suppose to and awake at weird times. =.="

My Shift work life

2010-09-30T02:45:00.000-07:00

I started my shift work that is 12 hours by working night shift on tuesday night - 28/9/10 7pm - 7am. It was a total different experience for me as i'm not used to it, when most people go back from work, i will enter work, but i'm learning to adapt quickly. First day i could work without sleeping, but second day i could feel the tiredness throughout my body until morning until i get some sleep. Phew! its a hectic work, but when i think back, i was thinking how my Dad and Mum suffered while they worked 12 hours like me staying up at night just for the family. Now, I'm gonna take this as a gift from God rather than mere obstacle as God gave me the chance to experience how my parents went through hard times in their life. Again, I strive to be a better person in life after all this sacrifice for a good future ;-)

Facebook Mobile

2010-09-18T22:40:00.000-07:00

I was wondering for a long time to use the facebook mobile with my phone, now i've got the idea to surf using the url http://0.facebook.com. For Malaysians who use Digi as their telecommunications provider, they can enjoy free facebook mobile without any data charges using that url. Nice that i can update my status anywhere, anytime. The free data charges applies when you are surfing without viewing the photos, if you want to view photos and other extra stuff that is not visible as default, standard data charges may apply, the charges also apply when you leave facebook and go to other mobile site. Fair enough!

1st Car Service

2010-09-09T04:29:00.000-07:00

I went for the so called "1st Free car service" by Proton today to service my new car. Obviously it reached 1000km so fast. Well, thinking that its gonna be free, i went with the money i have and registered at the service centre. But unfortunately the guy who is attending me said the free service means "free labour charge". Damn! this made me go back to take my car and withdraw some extra money. It costed me RM155.50 for the parts like engine oil, oil filter, fuel treatment fluid, screen wash fluid and so on. Haiz! i need to spent this amount of money for another 2 time for 5000km and 10000km service.

3 weeks already

2010-08-15T00:47:00.000-07:00

It has been around 3 weeks already since i was with my ride, the old school Datsun 120Y. Sad to say, its going to leave me. The bad day happened on 30th July 2010 where i met with an accident. I was ok, but the damage left to my ride was enough to make it leave me. So sad, it has been years with you, you have helped me a lot. Thanks my ride, i will remember you forever.

Glückwünsche Germany!

2010-07-03T22:34:00.000-07:00

2010-07-03T00:02:00.000-07:00

What a lucky day!

2010-06-29T05:45:00.000-07:00

I felt really lucky today..first, i went into a place very hard to enter in terms of high security and critical equipments - The Data Centre! Of coz we can't simply enter, an engineer created a request ticket for me and my colleague Melissa to enter data centre, reason was to troubleshoot library -this is damn funny..haha . We managed to enter with the engineer and insert about 10 LTO 2 tapes in the library, at a point i was shocked when the robotic arm in the library start moving..haha. Secondly, i really saw with my bare eyes 2 rainbows 1 on top another at the same time. That was really wonderful! I've never seen things like this in my life before..fuh! what a day!

New addiction @ new hobby

2010-04-04T10:28:00.000-07:00

I recently got attached @ addicted to Twitter, I don't know how but it just happened straight away after i created the account. Apart from Facebook, i find this something unique as this site allows status updates only from users , its not full of your biodata and stuff such as Facebook. I like to tweet now and i'm tweeting almost everyday! Here's the screenshot of my page at Twitter!

Make your Firefox load faster

2010-03-08T05:05:00.000-08:00

After this simple hacking to your Mozilla Firefox browser, you will be able to surf faster than before.

Type about:config in the address bar, Then look for the following entries, and make the corresponding changes.

You can use the filter bar to search for the corresponding values out of the many values that are displayed. How? just copy and paste the value to the filter bar and it will filter it for you the matching one. Eg. Copy and paste network.http.max-connections-per-server to the filter bar to get the exact value. After that just change the value to the give ones below.

network.http.max-connections-per-server =32
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy =16
network.http.max-connections = 64
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server = 10
network.http.pipelining = true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 200
network.http.request.max-start-delay = 0
network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
network.http.proxy.version = 1.0

Last Step:
Right-click anywhere and select New- Integer. Name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

Increase your internet speed up by 20%

2010-02-25T12:16:00.000-08:00

Microsoft Windows reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC

Its not permanent as you can override or change it:

Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes. This opens the group policy editor.

Then double click and navigate through :
-> Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> QOS Packet Scheduler -> Limit Reservable Bandwidth.

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth.

If you go to the "explain" tab, you can know more about how this reservable bandwidth functions.

For the faster internet speed, simply ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, so you will get the extra 20% bandwidth.

I have tried it and it shows some greater speed in internet surfing.

I entered What's Your Core contest few weeks ago by Intel and submitted my entry. I didn't update it earlier in my blog so i'm updating it now. Below is my artwork that i came up with for my entry for the contest.

Is 9/11 staged or real?

2010-01-24T05:04:00.000-08:00

Based on Dr. Mahathir's comment on the attack recently in a conference, I felt that I could look into the video he saw, and I managed to get some info about the attack. It's convincing me that the attack was staged. Here's the link for the video :

My Christmas present = wishlist fullfilled

2009-12-26T03:41:00.000-08:00

Just the day before christmas, 24th dec, was the wonderful day for me, ptptn money entered after so long, and finally i managed to get my new system after so long of online research and price surveying..Now, I am running on my new system, consists of AMD Athlon II X4 630 processor -AM3 socket (refer my previous blog post), 2GB Corsair Gaming High Performance RAM, Cooler Master Elite 334 casing, Vantec Ion2+ 620W PSU unit and ECS GF8200A Black Edition Motherboard. All this combined with my current HDD (80GB Samsung SATA, 320GB WD SATA), LG DVD ROM 20X SATA, Acer X203H 20 inch LCD and lastly my powerful Galaxy Nvidia GeForce 9800GT graphics card. Its more appealing than my old system and i'm happy to multitask with it without any performance lack or lag issues!

AMD™ latest AM3 socket processor technology

2009-12-14T10:23:00.000-08:00

There's one thing i found out about AMD processors, now it has the newest socket AM3 version which is for me on par with the Intel Core i7 family, because both the processors support the latest DDR3 RAM versions. But the main thing AMD has achieved is their newest AM3 socket processors that is 'backward compatible'. This means you can install the latest processor on a older AM2+ motherboards. This gives cost savings for users where they can only upgrade their processor and remain with their AM2+ motherboards. Adding the accomplishment, the AM3 processors have an intergrated memory controller which support DDR2 RAMs and also DDR3 RAMs. So you can run the AM3 processor on a AM2+ motherboard with DDR2 RAMs or on a AM3 motherboard with DDR3 RAMs.

AMD has also come up with the Athlon II versions that are same in all aspects as the Phenom II versions. It is also using the AM3 socket and supports the newest DDR3 RAMs. The only difference between them is the L3 cache. Phenom II versions have an extra cache level that is the L3 cache while the Athlon II versions do not. But based on a lot of tech reviews, i found out that L3 cache is not neccessarily important while number of cores matter for processing power. So for budget buyers, the Athlon II is the perfect processor to choose because even the quad-core AMD Athlon II X4 price is less than the Phenom II X3 and X4 versions. Way to go AMD™ !

Virus removed!

2009-11-10T03:21:00.000-08:00

Hello readers, for past one week, my pendrive has been infected with a virus that is typically annoying. Basically once I plug in my pendrive to my PC, it automatically opens it without asking me whether what action to take. It has a file with "autorun.inf" file in it that canot be deleted because it is being used by OS once I plug it in. I enabled "Show hidden files" (My computer>Tools>Folder Options>Show hidden files) and unchecked the "Hide protected system files" box. I saw another file named "temp" with a recycle bin icon for it and it contains a file named "winsetup.exe" in it. The "winsetup.exe" file is the main file executed once I plug in my pendrive.

Steps I took to remove the virus but not successful:

1. Cleared my pendrive(removed or backup all my important files in it to other location) and formated my pendrive (right click on pendrive in my computer and choose format>Quick format).

The autorun.inf file is removed but when I plug in again, the file reappears inside my pendrive.

-Solution not succesful.

2. Scanned with antivirus and anti-malware software. The anti-virus and anti-malware software did not detect any viruses.

-Solution not succesful.

3. Deleted winsetup.exe from registry using regedit (Start>run>type regedit and press enter>edit>find>type winsetup.exe>after search, delete the found value that contains that file).

After that go in pendrive and delete the virus files (autorun.inf, temp including winsetup.exe).

The file appears again after replug-in the pendrive. -Solution not successful

4. Used Unlocker(can be downloaded from www.filehippo.com) software to unlock the autorun.inf file from windows processes. After that deleted autorun.inf in the pendrive.

The file appears again after replug-in my pendrive -Solution not successful.

All this solutions did not work out maybe because I suspect the virus infected my pc already.

The solution that work out at last:

1. I downloaded Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from www.filehippo.com.

2. Install and update the software.

3. Restarted my computer and entered Safe Mode.

4. Plug in the pendrive.

5. Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware software and run quick scan.

6. The software detected two trojans in my C drive. (Maybe this infected files is the cause for my pendrive to be infected again and again everytime i plug in.)

7. Removed the infected files through Malwarebytes.

8. Malwarebytes required me to restart the system to delete one of the virus.

9. I deleted the virus files in my pendrive (autorun.inf, winsetup.exe). Note: you can even format your pendrive as an alternative.

10. Restarted the system.

11. Entered windows normally and found no virus files in my pendrive.

12. Replugged-in my pendrive and the virus files does not appear again.

-Solution successful.

I hope those who having this virus problem will find my solution helpful, though I can't guarantee the outcome to you as it worked out for me not tried not other machines.

Confusions in time that work out at last...

2009-07-18T00:36:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, i'm back and its kinda complicated to describe my life after my training. Shit happens sometimes. But so far its ok..my industrial training results is out = PASS :) then after that i was stuck about 1 week in uniten thinking of perfect title for my FYP. Its damn complicating where i need to think whether if i choose a wonderful title for my Project 1(which is documentations only), do i capable of doing the actual project based on that title in Project 2 next sem (implementation -doing the actual thing). This question keeps popping out of my mind then it was near the deadline where i need to propose or choose a topic for my FYP. Then this 3D modeling thing kept bugging me...maybe i can try proposing that for my project? It appears to be damn hard but i thought why don't i give it a shot? Then i proposed a topic under 3D modeling and i'm going to model a 3D model of Lamborghini Murcielago. -Its damn true..no choice..came up with a very fast title and hope i can do it. :) Wish me luck..hope to succeed in this!

3 months of experience

2009-07-09T00:46:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone, for readers of my blog, sorry for the long absence because of this -3 months thing. 3 months of internship i mean. I got a offer from Ablenet Systems Sdn. Bhd. and did my internship based on their ever hectic on-site projects. My first day of work started at Ablenet Systems Perak branch office at Ipoh. Got a wonderful supervisor who is also the branch manager, Mr.Giggs..had a lot of hillarious and also hectic moments with him at work..haha..can't forget it. But the hecticness started when i was just 2 days at Ipoh office and HQ Group Senior Manager, Mr. Sam called me for a project in KL. So i went. He and Business manager, Mr. Jeffrey briefed me - I am suppose to be outsourced to Maxis Communications Berhad at Plaza Sentral, KL to join a team there as Desktop Engineer under Getronics Solutions. I did the job for about 1 and half months of troubleshooting and other IT related tasks there. My most experience was at Maxis where I learned from my sifu, Mr. Kugan and Mr. Kumar when handling a lot of cases. After that Getronics contract ended at Maxis where IBM is their new IT support contractor. Damn, and i have to leave. But luckily Ablenet keep getting projects..haha. After that I went to Ipoh branch to continue my intership there first before ending up on a massive project again. The project I mean was Prudential Assurance Berhad nationwide deployment project..they had a training for all the engineers from 13 states that are involved and i was one of them for Perak region. Training for 2 days at Prudential HQ at KL and went back to Ipoh to handle the deployment. Pheww! it was tiring where i have to handle 4 branches in Perak for a total of 16 PCs to be deployed. Luckily i done all in time with help of 2 champion sifu with by side -Mr. Giggs and Mr. Syed..learned a lot through a lot of problems with the deployed softwares. Now, i'm done with my presentation and report hand over and waiting for intership results. Hope i get a good one. Next, final year and project 1!

Best gaming experience i had so far..

I started to play LEFT 4 DEAD weeks before and it was the best gaming experience for me..this game even does not require that much high graphics as for Crysis but the texture in the game is wonderful..even with my 256MB graphic card it is perfect but the settings I can't put it to high graphics though..this game can't be played on laptops as normal laptops does not support the minimum requirements of graphics memory for this game..if u buy a laptop with powerful specs(at least 256MB of graphics memory), maybe you are able to play..

It was fun when playing LAN game with others..most of you that are new to this game, I have a solution for activating the LAN play in this game..the steps as folows..

1. Run your Left 4 Dead game.
2. In main menu, go to Options->Keyboard/Mouse->Allow Developer Console , make sure it is "enabled".
3. Then, in main menu, press the ~ button below the Escape button to open the console.

To Create a LAN game:
1. Type sv_lan 1 in your console and press enter.
2. Type map "map name" in your console again without the double quote and press enter.
eg. map l4d_airport01_greenhouse
3. You are already in your game that you host.

To Join the LAN game:
1. Type connect "ip address of host" in your console without the double quote to join.
eg. connect 182.21.11.123
2. You are already in the LAN game.

So far till now, I have only Dr. Mahathir in mind when talking about Malaysia. He did the most improvement to the country in all aspects (Economic, World Recognition, generating revenue through tourism). Today, December 20th 2008, he is celebrating his 83rd birthday..and I am very proud of his contribution to the country..well done Dr. M! and Happy 83rd Birthday !

Uniten RoboGamez 2008

2008-09-05T08:00:00.000-07:00

As a volunteer for this event, I am getting a lot of experience on how to handle big events...fortunately, i joined the Multimedia Team of RoboGamez 2008. At first we were given a task to do the trailer for promoting the event..and we did it. Recently, we have also done the teaser trailer for next year's robogames that is RoboGamez 2009. Check out the video below!

Database mid-term

2008-09-05T07:42:00.000-07:00

What a miracle! damn! it was like damn hectic till i only studied 1 chapter for my mid-term today morning and just finished another 3 chapters by evening, that one also not so good~ last minute cramping..the exam was at 5.30pm and i was like..."What the hell? Its gona be a disaster again like what i did for SE mid-term..". Then, i went to COIT (College of Information Technology) and slowly took the exam paper that was on the table..to my surprise, it was only 1 sheet of paper full of questions front and back..and i just knew how to do it..easy compared to other subjects..hope to get good grades for that! phew! Another excitement is the wave of mid-terms has come to an end. But there is still final exam...gotta prepare for it dude!

Exam, OS problem, Mines, Max, Dinner, Format my Comp, Games!

2008-09-01T05:09:00.000-07:00

At last, after weeks of studying and exams and quizzes, i finally get to continue my FIFA08 with much pleasure~kekeke~ but the bad thing is, a problematic windows xp disc gave me headache when my computer's OS can't be repaired using that CD. Shit! and I have to rush all the way to Mines Shopping Centre to get a new one. What a coincidence was, I saw the famous Max Lum there shopping for his everlasting testing of new games~. He bought a new game to test but i don't know what's the name of the game. It resulted me going for dinner with him~ as usual at South City Plaza. When i got back, my OS repairing just loaded 1 minute and i got fed up with it. So i reformated my comp..lalala..thats the only way but i lost a lot of my game's save files and i have to start all over again. Then, my comp is quite fast in performance wise and of course and get myself some gaming adventure. But as i said many times, it is not over yet~ hua hua hua..i still have 2 more exams to go...arrgh..

Money~Money~

2008-07-26T22:58:00.000-07:00

Money is undeniably the most important factor to live nowadays..and i don't like it..how come everything that we do must involve money? even for food? i mean for people to live we need food and for that we need money? is it appropriate? i understand the current situations such as the petrol price hike and so on..i don't argue much about that but at least for food, i really think they should not increase the priceof food...and i can "see" it increasing day by day...there is something wrong with the distribution of government's money to people nowadays and those politicians must stop arguing, talking or fighting with each other and i would like to see some sincere action in this please...less talk, more action...no matter from what party you are from or what religion you are from, i just don't care but do your job as given...

Nowadays when i fill up petrol for my car its just 3.71 liters of petrol for RM10...now the frequency of me filling it up is increasing...even though i use my car very less..now I'm experiencing shortage of money every week whenever something out of my budget need to be done...

As i said..

2008-07-26T22:52:00.000-07:00

As i said in my previous post.."It is not over yet.." i got to do another 3 assignments for now..2 of it due 2moro n day after plus 1 more at thursday..wat to do..i have to face the fact..its now or never..

Too many stuff to be done~

2008-07-22T04:40:00.000-07:00

It was long since i experienced this kind of "torture". By the way, its happening now and i think its only the beginning..oh man..it was just last week that i was stormed into groups to do 2 assignment of Database systems straight and its done today. It was not over just there~..since i got 1 assignment from OS concepts, 1 from Fundamentals of SE and another Database systems assignment just by today itself..imagine that..just by today man - in 1 day 3 stuff stormed in for me to do...and another headache is my OS concepts quiz that is tomorrow...consists of 2 chapters sumore...i need to study those 2 chapters by tonight for tomorrow's quiz..phew! Besides all of this i am glad to do something out of my studies that is creating a trailer for Uniten Robogamez 2008...need to submit a sample by next monday..haiz..but nevermind because i like to do stuffs like this..not tones of assignment and project suddenly~...oh man..maybe the college management need to consider some arrangement of assignment and project to be given to students to a proper date...you know why! if not its all messed up!

Oh dude!

2008-07-16T22:31:00.000-07:00

It was just "OK" all this while until the day before yesterday that my cd drive got spoiled..I do not know how or why it happened but my cd drive can't read nor write any CDs anymore..damn!..now its another problem for me to take out money for this...near 100 bucks for one. I'm deciding to buy a DVD drive instead of the old CD drive that i used..i was thinking last time that i want to upgrade it to a DVD drive but didn't coz the CD drive was still running..now its spoiled and i "must" replace it..no other choice dude!

TO

The Forbidden Kingdom..

2008-07-15T04:08:00.000-07:00

The recent movie i watched was The Forbidden Kingdom and, it was, awesome! I really mean it...the credits should go to the Director of this movie that is Rob Minkoff..he has done an extremely wonderful job in this movie I guess. At first before i watch this movie i thought this will be the same kind of kung fu movie created those days when i was small but it was absolutely fantastic. The amount of graphics the used to make the weapons fly and so on is perfect to make this movie a success. By the way, it is the first time i saw a non-chinese boy able to act in such a movie with Jackie Chan and Jet Li with good skills of kung fu. Anyone out there i recommend you all to watch this movie because it has a nice story and able to catch the audience's attention i suppose..See to find out..

Extraodinary ways to drift...proven by me...

2008-05-12T10:26:00.000-07:00

Remember that this method won't damage your tyre unless you do it on a sunny day...

Conditions:

1. Raining day or rain had stopped and the
road still wet.(no need chg to tayar
botak).

2. Load ur ride or car wif a lot of things
(the heavier the better)(Inersia is the
main key to drift).

3. Able to respond to diff car movement.

1st- take a sharp corner when road
still wet, turn into the corner
immediately(turn suddenly).

2nd- The car will loose control easily.

3rd- when car goin to spin, don let it
spin..how? by turnin the opposite
way(make ur car sway left n right)

I just tried this at a 360 degree corner heading to Uniten from Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP) and it worked out (actually i entered that corner at 5th gear(forgot to change to low gear before turning)-thats why it skidded)...remember ppl..safety first!
If u r not sure don't do it..
Good luck! hope u ppl get some tips that
seldom ppl give...

When did i start?

2008-05-10T03:41:00.000-07:00

Well....when did i start? The first thought thats goin on ur mind will be "What did he start?"..am i right?..haha..should be..actually what i'm gonna tell now is when did i start to think about DRIFT?...well..the story goes like this...

It was near the middle of my Form 5 life near the mid-term of my schooling year that time..around June when me n my bro got our car driving license..hmm..should be "hurray!"...then the climax started...my loving dad bought a second-hand Daihatsu Charade for my bro just after we got the license..whoa! thats wonderful...not yet drive got car already so fast..and of course my bro a.k.a Arul was happy...and thoughts was going in my mind..."When do i get mine?"...then suddenly my dad again bought a second-hand Nissan Sunny 130Y but the engine is powered by electronic ignition..whoa! from that moment i thought this gonna be my car..but luck was not at my side as my dad took that car..and what he did was...he gave me a second-hand Datsun 120Y that he was using since he bought it 1 or 2 years ago.

So, i started to think about this DRIFT that i was not familiar at that time...since i was a freak in IT stuff like internet, so i went to search about that sport and learned about it. Almost every night i was dreaming about this sport that was like a dream sport for me. Then one day i found out that the only car that can Drift is all FR cars. What do i mean by FR is Front Mounted Engine Real Wheel Drive car...the engine is mounted at the front of the car and only the rear tyre spins when you press the fuel pedal because it is rear wheel drive. That was a big advantage for me as a sudden jump as i discovered that my car a.k.a the Datsun 120Y is the only car in my house to meet the standard..my car is a FR car..since the other two cars (Nissan Sunny 130Y and the Daihatsu Charade) is FF cars that is Front Mounted Engine Front Wheel Drive car...huhu..i was damn happy at that time since i can Drift when i up to the standard.

Since then the Datsun 120Y that was under-estimated by me turned to be a spectacular machine for me. I never forget to take care of the car until i came to "Uniten". It was damn hard for me to maintain it because of money problem that had to be spent on studies and unavailable time because of hectic time table for classes. Thats the story of how i got into knowing and being some kind of crazy of this sport...Now, my car drifts and skids on the road even when i don't really drift..haha..the car's light weight making it to drift whenever i enter a sharp corner in high speed and of course you must know how to control oversteer and understeer...

Anyway...for those my Uniten friends out there who is viewing this blog, i hope you all understand the story behind me that lead me into this DRIFT thing..haha..thanks for viewing anyway...
