Sukhminder..

Think arguing through email like I did with chew for the past 3 years.. Now replace chew with sukhminder.. our 'beloved' IT teacher.. I wrote in to tell her tat posting the failure marks, highlighting them and making them blink was an insult to the students who failed.. and poof!, she retailitated with all sorts of emotional email with words like 'Don't accuse me of bla bla bla' and 'get ur facts right'..

lol.. The onli reason I've stopped replying (just sent her my last email) after that email, is that cuz she hold 60% of my SAM marks.. Thats why.. otherwise, i reli cudnt care less.. around 5 emails so far have been exchanged.. I for many many many reasons don't like sukhminder at all, and she commands no respect from just about anyone..

Anyway, Im bloggin bout this cuz I wanna melepaskan geram.. the way she replies make me so geram.. firstly, her english is all broken.. grammer errors all over the place, and then there's the perasaan feelin in her tone as though she's the queen of the world.. why! why must she be the onli IT teacher... geram laH!!

The way of the japanese..

I somehow wondered why i always envied the japanese.. Yeah, they didn't have the most peaceful of methods in the colonial days, but then again, those are the past days, and today is an entirely new world. From the sports, to festivals, i had some interest in them.. I'm not saying i don't have any other interests, but for watever reasons, i admire them, or rather have very much interest in their way of life..

Probably its the anime shows, the mangas, the music, call me contaminated with foreign culture, that has made me think this way.. Call me poisoned, whatever.. Even they had nicer school uniforms than malaysia.. Kindergarden students had nicer uniform than working women.. Came out in newspapers the other day..

I can't be giving examples all day, cuz i cant myself think of any.. its just.. in general.. the whole thing.. I like their culture, I like their music, anime, manga, all the way to thier interior designing of modern & traditional homes (I went gaa gaa over the japanese interior design photography book in MPH bookstore, but the price was 100+, much more than what i wud afford at the moment).

I don't reli know why i had this post in the first place, perhaps I just searched up the Bon Odori for this year, its held the same place as last year, ma..mashushi.. shita.. mashushita stadium OR something like that lah.. on July 15-16.. Last year I and some srikl ppl went as invited guest performers.. ^^ it was seriously so cool and fun, but we didnt get much time to roam ourselves.. so this year, its gonna be different.. lol.. i am trying to get some close frens to go together, but not everyone is even interested the slightest bit.. lol... better get off now, im bloggin beyond my sleeping time.. dad'll kill me.. XD XD

Fatigue..

Nights of short sleeps had me tired already. But this morning was an exception; I had to get up, I had to finish my maths notes I would be taking into the exam hall. The alarm went off. As I very reluctantly got up, I began on my work immediately. The day was dark, the house was silent. As I wrote my notes in silence, I began to feel heavy. I stopped writing, and stared into the sky that was just my roof.

Things began to dematerialize and I found myself somewhere else. in front of two people, a guy and a girl, with them looking straight to each other, not a word exchanged.

"I'm sorry, but this cannot go on", blurts the guy who broke the silence. "Things aren't just.. right.. "
"...."

The girl with permed long hair with a touch of brunette, didn't say a word. Her face looked down and muttered something under her breath. She took a deep breath, and when she lifted her face, tears fell down her cheecks, and onto the floor.

I came back to Earth with a shock as though I've been falling down from a cliff. Steadying myself, I looked at a the clock. Almost no time had passed. What had happened and what had I saw? That question remains unanswered and will be no different in the future. Whatever I had saw, or remembered, will not be uttered again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ahah... I'm practicing again.. although I shud be using this time to do something else that is more erm.. beneficial...

Kayz, nothing's been happening much, other than work, work, work and um.. work! maths common test just passed; hell it was like defusing a live bomb that goes off at 10.50.. damn pissed at the bloody time pressure until even simple questions i cannot get it...

then there's the piling maths homework. Although my teacher doesnt check the work, i still think its right to do the work.. I mean, obviously if u dun do it, u'll be at the loss, especially since there practically no tuition and workbooks at college level.. Then there's all the other 5 subjects, including english assignment, accounts (trying to understand some crap taught), econs (normal hw), and IT (sukminder's work.. enuf said.. ).. oh i forgotten LAN.. some BS 3000 essay that a group of 8 ppl do.. zzzz..

Then there's club.. I've joined two clubs, Society of creative arts and Table tennis.. table tennis more for fun only ler, i'll go mad if i dun get to play any form of games.. also; guess who's the president of that club? lol!! kuang han!! congrats congrats, but look forward to losing to me.. :D

in any case, I'm in the web right now, and my time is running out..

Compression

The following chart is the results for different settings of configuration on different compression utilities. I've chosen the most common ones, and the files were randomly picked off my hard drive. THIS is NOT an official chart of compression, but rather just a simple guide. I know that different files have different levels of compressions. All measurements below are measured in Megabytes.

The number beside the type of file compressed is the original file size.

The yellow highlight is the best smallest size.

The green highlight shows the best combination of compression utility.

Hope this saves time for you all.. =)

The single moment I felt it..

I went along with my mom to help deliver a cake the other day. I was half dead tired from the day before and having wake up at 7 on a sunday isn't very tempting either. I didn't know what type of cake it was or where it was being sent to; all i did was fall alseep in the car all the way there. When I got up, it looked like a 10-year old house, with the size of a semi-D house. It was those type where the entrance was on the 2nd floor. Nothing of even interest on the outside, it looked like any other house. But then I glimpsed at the cake, nothing short of a two tier cake. A wedding cake. A wedding cake at a place like this?

Dressed slopily in shorts and wrinkled shirt, I reluctantly went down with my mom, after just waking up from the nap in the car. At the entrance there was the bride, fully dressed in her gown and putting on makeup, assisted by two other girls. I didn't think much of it, except how ridiculous I look comparing to the place I'm in.. The guy who greeted us led us downstairs where the cake was to be placed. Then everything hit me, blank..

Towards down the stairs I walked, the faint smell of aroma candles became stronger, with the lights dimming yellow and flowers bloom everywhere. White ribbons decorated the journey down, and the sight below wasn't any less impressive. Long white tables, laced with white ribbons and the highest classy looking cutleries, seen only at the finest of restaurants. Candle light provided a warm glow at the table. Light serene music filled the background. For that moment I stood there, blank, and in another world. Through the door at the end of the room filled with tables, there were the magnificent wooden chairs fit for a king. The surroundings were so peaceful and decorated so nicely. It wasn't Earth I was on.

Then the groom appeared. He wanted to have a look at the cake. One way or another, he was happy with it, while making some jokes. Laughing and smiling, and the beautiful scenery around me made my life went past me that instant. Everything memorable that I've done in my life.. And above all, I remembered the only gal I've liked all my life.. What would have changed if I had done that, and done this, or not done that and not done this. What would be my future be like? It's a fool's game to regret or even ponders over his past, and I was become the greatest fool of them all. Even besides remembering her, there were other memorably memories.. Japan was one. Beta was one. My school classmates was one. Everyone I known for two years.. them who are split around the world by now..

In the end, I left quietly, not saying a word, but with many silent thoughts. It was a simple cake delivery. But it ended up being the single moment, that I felt my life alive.

------> -------> --------> --------> < ------- <------- <------- <----------
lol.. well it was a true experience, and i somehow thought of it into making a narrative story.. i don't think it was good at all, but rather pretty bad.. sigh.. i guess i still got a long long long way before im good at this at all...

Teachers teachers

Subang Jaya , Selangor - Teachers in a certain private college has been ranked from 1st to last, with remarks about them based on a survey done, solely in a certain class that only will involve 6 specific teachers. Here are the results;

1) First place goes to Econs teacher. Surprisingly, her method of teaching is interesting and alive, as well as a friendly personality towards her students. First place!

2) Second place goes to English, - assignment lover but hey, whats SAM without them? Reminds me of miss G, but with 1000 times more the work.. =)

3) Third place; maths teacher, very very very very soft and kinda timid looking but he gets the lesson across the classroom. Also known as concorde/supersonic jet/laser train..

4) 4th! IT bags the 4th place, with her somehow dull and boring voice that has a 10 second gap after each sentence.. Totally inexperienced with dealing with students, also know how to 'scold' them.. near zero respect from me..

5) fifth, accounting teacher.. the hopelessly confused and confusing lazy blackboard freak. enuf said. =)

6) last place, goes to LAN teacher..absolutely definately full of crap. Quote " The two atomic bombs which were drop at nagasaki and hiroshima is fat man1 and fat man 2" Unquote.. fullstop. or mayb the subject itself is crap.. hu cares..

Valentine..

once a day of hopes and love, now its just another day.. no doubt, the commercialism of it will make it a big huu haa.. there wud be smiles and laughters, but are we forgettin the ones with tears and frowns.. those that have lost trust in everything.. It is our overlooking that some loses their purpose in life.

As for me, I myself had given up hope on it; love that is.. though many people may critize us young people as foolish love, and that it never lasts, and act as though they themselves are so mighty while they may be more pathetic than us, the truth is, it depends on individuals; there aint such blanket ruling for all..

Tomorrow, is just like any other tuesday... there won't be any more emotions.. at least for not the time being.. I feel, as sad n' pathetic it may b, i am more stable and relaxed that way.. Don't think about it, don't feel it, don't get hurt by it..

Face lift 2.5

Kk, New header, new side picture, and IE bugs on the sidebar fixed! It took damn alot of hours and the new header at first gave damn a lot of problems, especially when it comes to making a blog that looks CORRECT on two different browsers.. It was tough work.. Anyway, all is well and done up nicely now.. ANY bugs found plz plz leave a note.. From my eyes, and my browser, both IE and Firefox, they are viewing it correctly.. any problems plz let me know.. thanks

Lastly, I also seek feedback on the new slight changes in layout.. drop a note in the tagboard or leave a comment..~

Also, there was a much simpler way to make a new header and background in just 2 minutes, instead of 8 hours, but i simply didnt use that way because my blog wud have lost the rounder's effect.. means, all the sideboxes wud be square.. and tat wudnt be nice...

LAN..

LAN is one stupid subject.. cant stand it anymore.. and ask me to cram into a damn small room with 100+ ppl and listen to something i cudnt care less is just not appealing.. it just sucks.. oh well, im not gonna waste my time and my energy to even bother blogging about it..

Today we had 3 hours break.. 3.. THREE.. TIGA... so damn nice.. free.. went cyber played dota & CS summore.. kinda fun after so long i havent played.. Kinda fun.. playing cyber for 3 hours.. haha...

But for some reason.. I don't feel very up at the moment.. Just feel down.. No idea why.. If there is no idea, guess there's nothing much to blog about it at the moment i guess..

So, lets detour to things about my class.. erm.. call me a social outcast, but I havent been very.. erm.. talkative in my class... in some ways i feel like i'm a stranger.. as i've made the engineering guys jealous already, my class has more girls than guys.. Mayb its just me, the post-school feeling.. the feeling that i miss beta.. and everyone in it.. the teachers.. and how i fail so miserably at gettin over it.. that, i don't feel too comfortable in college...

and lastly, im gonna change some layouts in my blog, header probably, and fix some IE related bugs if i can.. so look forward to it soon enuf!

Releasing the me in me..

Yep Yep, I know I havent been really... erm... been updating my blog.. oh well, I guess its good to update once in a while.. A week long hol and I'm lazier than ever now.. Feel like sleeping and lazing around whole day.. But tmr's sunday already.. and the day after college will start again.. sigh.. there comes the common tests, piling homework, due-ing assignements and bullet train classes.. On top of that, there's piano classes, language classes, society meetings and above all, my own time.. In my own time, there's my fanfic writing, blogging, reading books/mags, watching anime & movies, hanging out with ppl.. I finally joined the group of ppl who wonders why there are only 24 hours in a day..

But every new year has their resolutions, and chinese new year just passed, so, i guess my resolutions for this year are pretty simple and straight forward..

one, would be to manage my time really really really really well, so i get time for just about everything...

two, wud be to learn cooking, absurd as it may sound.. may come in handy one day..

three, wud be to actually finish one fanfic/novel/story/short stories by the end of this year and 100% mine..

four, wud be to get at least TER of 98%.. (SAM ranking system..)

five, (though this is a must and not reli a resolution) is to figure out what the heck i wanna do in uni and a career to have in mind by the end of this year.

there, five simple resolutions... All in a year.. Not that hard I suppose... Hope not.. Pray not.. Among all, this year will indeed be a busy year.. Nothing is like school anymore.. Everything is different.. for the better or for the worse, I have yet to know..
