I have to say I'm not very good at recognizing faults that our daily electronic equipments give us especially the computer even though I have been into it for a few years. The recent move of my whole desktop and my speakers and reassembly of it troubles me when there was no sound emitting from my speakers. I tried whatever I could, from software to the whole tiring process of reformatting my desktop. I need a reformat anyway. And finally I noticed that it was my built-in sound card which has failed me. Now, it's back to square one, buying myself a new sound card, hopefully, a better one.
Bite ME!!!!!
This is what I call a game. Never giving you a moment to take a breath and rest. Constantly worrying what is happening next. Something lurking around you all the time. Recently got this game and I have to say, I'm addicted to it. Too bad I could only take this game head on for an hour? Great AI since these things here can flank, hide and appear anywhere; whether charging you straight on, from above or right behind you and yes they are good at coming in swarms. Looking forward to the next game by the same publisher :D
A question of updates
I have been asked lately, "Hey, why didn't you update your blog?" Question laid in front of me. "It's been a long time since I updated, didn't have the mood to do so" or so it seems. I guess I have left the blog for a long time, not thinking about it. It's hard to continue something that you have stopped for so long.
Now the answer is given.
Currently listening to
Gary Cao Ge - Liang Ge Qing Ren (Two Lovers)
Don't feel that good today. Not physically. Had a bad dream and in a state of confusion. Should I go to class? I have to. Been getting tired of classes these days. Need people to stay with me, be with me.
I ponder
Semester starts again, this has repeated continuously two years ago. My final year already and it's getting kinda boring repeating things over and over again. Not repeating as in repeating the subjects but doing the same thing over and over again. Life can never be more boring than this, repetition; but isn't this what we face in life? I believe I can't answer this, lacking experience to say what life is yet. I have to find it out myself. My life, my existence and what I have to do in life. It's been a long time since I've updated this blog. Well, gotta get up from bed early tomorrow morning again. Is there anything interesting to do in life?
To work or not to work?
It's not a proper work but an industrial training for a month and a half. Everyday gotta reach there by 8.30am and i can only go home by 5.30pm. So most of the time i have my back seated on the chair, quite a comfortable one and keep working and working. The only time i can see sunlight is to step into the washroom where they have windows for me to peek outside. Brain juices are used up and I'm hungry all the time, luckily it's gonna end this month, a week to go! Oh yea, i even bought a new mouse for myself XD and a new phone too!
Lemme show you some pics of this evil mouse. (Pics from www.razerzone.com)
Razer Deathadder
There we go. 1800 dpi and 1000Hz ultrapolling means faster and more precise movements of the mouse. Even the design is great! XD the logo with the blue light on and off too.
Sony Ericsson w610i
Yea i know this phone is kinda old, but its quality for the price. (pics from http://reubenteo.blogspot.com)
I have to say this guy here takes good pics. Glad i got the same phone as him lol. This phone has everything except 3g which i wont be using anyway so it's a great phone for me. The price is also good too. The best was it's design heh. Slim walkman phone, (don't compare to the w880i though). Well, i guess i finally updated my blog after such a long time. Phew, work's gonna end soon, maybe i'll have more time to blog then :) Till then, jaron logging off.
Spidey power!
Still feeling awfully happy about getting it. The Razer Tarantula keyboard. It has the "ghosting" capability which enables 10 keys to be pressed altogether and boasting a 1ms fast response time, plus that wicked design of the keyboard, I'm loving it all the way. It costs quite a lot though, nearly burnt my wallet a hole. Exam's over, and buying stuff like these makes me feel so good about myself hehe. Too bad the internship training is gonna start next week, feeling kinda lazy.
Went out with my coursemates yesterday, it was really a rare occasion. Been studying together for two years and this is only the second time we're out together. I had fun. Too bad there is still a level of silence among us, lol. I'm sure that can be fixed with a couple more outings. Anyone going out again?
Triangular
Sung by Sakamoto Maaya. I have to say, her voice really shine in the song. Additional bonus to it is the anime Macross Frontier making it it's opening song. The awesomeness! Been sometime since I wrote something cause exams are not over yet! Well, better return to the books and notes.
Outrage!
I noticed a lot of people are using their image to represent themselves. Image is definitely important, but it can never be compared to the essence of that person him/herself. What I am talking about is the personality! People just go overboard with their outlooks, heavy make-ups, hair styling (which takes half an hour to an hour) and for some metrosexual men, even the smallest pimple on their faces will make their day awry. Is that all there is in life? Well, first thing to blame is the mass media; the society forming the new people of today. Countless advertisements, live shows on fashion and superstars, turning everyone's focus towards the limelight. Everyone desires to be a star now! The problem arises when they do not think about themselves, they forget what is their main purpose in their lives and try to be like these "superstars", losing themselves gradually.
Further talking deeper into these, there really are those people who are so desperate in their lives. Money, a partner. Well, for money, if they'd work hard for it, they receive what they get. For a partner, I certainly do not agree about this "desperate need". It's just a futile effort to get something you don't have. It comes naturally, well maybe not, it needs some effort. And here are these shallow people who desperately wants one, to the extent that they voice it out!? What else do they have in their mind? This is society's pressure after all, peer pressure to be exact. The term "Losing face" is so widely used nowadays. Everyone wants to be stylish, wants to have what other have. Basically it is "to have"; what the society has molded our minds to think of. Corruption is everywhere, every corner, every mind.
What I'm saying about this is that outlook, desires for someone, something, isn't a bad thing after all. As long as it is not overdone. Yea, I guess that applies to me too in a way.
False dreams.
It was an awesome service when it first came out, but the things they do, it keeps getting worse. The apartment I'm living in decided to cut it because of it's incompetency in services and changed to a different one. Boy, I did not regret that. But this bill comes back as a ghost to haunt us. We cut the service early March but they asked us to pay for the whole March service, so it's okay, we paid. And then, another bill came today (April). Thanks to my housemate who paid late, but it's okay really, the bad thing is, they charged us rm154 instead of the rm77. It seems that they have counted the Febuary payment as well. We paid the Febuary payment late but we did pay it, and it seems that their system or management did not count it. So i'd say, what the fuck is this? Screw them man.
Poems
Did some poems for assignment. I guess it'll be a waste after sending them in right?
Standing there
Standing there
Green, brown and yellow
He who made you
Pleasant to the eye.
Dry, wet,
Cold and hot,
Shielding those who needed
Without favor returned.
Still people forget,
And walked past you,
Without gratitude
Or care.
But you stood there
Tall and strong,
Giving them life;
Looking at them
With only the purest intentions.
Lost essence
A soul mentioned,
Unknown of identity,
Not recognizable,
Often left unattended,
Hollow on the outside.
Masks to hide in pretense,
And shells to shield in,
An essence wasted,
Into the deepest depths of the heart,
To protect the delicacy of emotions.
This identity,
The warmth that is lost to humanity,
Their true self, their honesty,
Like summer breezes,
Soft and warm to the heart.
I wish to witness
This sublime emotion of human beings.
Unforgiven
Forgive is the greatest gift in the world
That’s what people say
But what is this burning feeling?
That never subsides
Deep in my heart
You
Whom I gave everything
And left nothing for myself
Entrusting you my hopes
And dreams
All I wanted is gratitude
Nothing more
But everything I received
From you
Disappoints me
You take
Never return
Leaving me
With nothing
But myself
Arabica.
Went to Black Kanyon coffee house that day when i was in Ipoh. Yea, I'm pretty outdated with Ipoh stuff nowadays. Alright so I just went in and looked at the menu. I can't drink highly concentrated coffee; it makes me feel dizzy and this coffee named Arabica "something" caught my attention. Costs me Rm8++, quite cheap really but when the thing comes, i was surprised to look at the size of it. I'm bad at photography so it looks rather big in the picture, but I can finish the whole cup with two big gulps. They don't give sugar for the coffee but honey instead. When i take a sip, I understood why it's that small in size. The taste is really strong, the sweetness of the honey comes in first, followed by the bitterness of the coffee leaving a trail of coffee and honey scent in your mouth. Second impression was, 'Hey! This is good!'. The first? It's 'God this is small!'. The surprising thing about it is, I didn't get dizzy after the drink. In case you're wondering what's that with the cup of coffee, it's scented tea, a cup of honey and some biscuits. Never liked the biscuits though, you can just see it by it's looks. This drink here makes me wanna try 'kopi ais' once again!
Near the edge
I believe everyone dislike exams. Well, some to the extent of hating them too. I guess I'm between dislike and hate. There's never enough time, never enough brain juice for them. Here I am at the brink of sanity, freaking out, panicking; wondering how it's gonna turn up. Been back from hometown to KL, to face it once and for all. These days i grow tired and more afraid of examinations, maybe because of my slacking attitude. Well, things are never easy in life.
Well, staying at home makes me lazy, i don't know why myself. Been at home for a few days and it's been a vacation. I did not work on anything and just went out for food, food and food. One day I'm gonna be that fat man on the couch (haha). But I won't let that happen.
Besides that, there are so many things in life to think about, to be proud of too (heh). First thing I'm proud of is my pc (:p). It would be something usual for lot's of people but upgrading a pc by hand, it was my first experience not so long ago, and it turned out good! Overclocked it, changed the hardware, this and that, thanks to this good friend of mine helping me out.
I guess I'm contented with life. I have everything I need. There are things i wanted, but it is just 'want' and I don't really need it so, I can cope with that. Dreams are something good too, if the dream is realistic enough. Damn, am I bored or what.
