PC Fair!

The most Fucked up thing in the world.... The first thing is wat is the point of going for pc fair??? its not like the items are cheap or something... its jus to create hype among the nation.... most of the time the shops will mark up the price by RM 200 and then drop by RM 150 for the laptops and after all their sweet talk bout how good the laptop is and shit and we ended believing it and paying the price... At the end of the day, the shops will earn and additional RM50 from the actual selling price...

but wat can u say.. good bussiness man....

anywayz.... i went there with 2 of my frens... all im gonna say is, dun ever go on a sunday... its freaking packed and cramped... everyone thinks that sundays is the day they give the cheapest price so all jus flock their asses there.... din buy much... just spent a lot of time trying to walk... But it was not all that bad... at least i met Dragon Red there...


sorry for posting it so late... it was saved as a draft for such a long time...

Sorry!! Finally updating...

Hey guys.... sorry for not updating... i dun exactly have a pc in coll... im using someones pc now.... i got a shock when i saw that the last time i updated was on the 4th.... hehe... the internet here sucks during th peak hours...

Anywayz..... a lot has been happening here lately.... last week was a super sober week.... everyone was breaking up with their girl fren or boy fren... my frens girl fren was to undergo a surgery which was successful... my fren met an accident.... it was really sad for all of us... but we still manage to have fun...

The best part of the week was on Sunday..... I was on my way to the pc fair.... i first went to Imbi plaza to collect my cheque and we decieded to walk to KLCC.... On the way, this European couple comes up to me and ask:

Couple : Hi.. May i noe where is th Monorail station?
Me : *Points up* Its just there.
Couple : Oh.. ok.. Thanks
Me : So, how long have u been standing here trying to figure that out?
Couple : Well, about 10 minutes.

Lolz.... dumb blonde ( the lady was blonde).... they where actually looking at the KL Map and they couldnt see it in the map... dumbo...

Talent Night!

Today was the day i get crazy after 12am... It onli happens in pink moons... il save the details till later....

Its been a week since i got into coll life... kinda fun... mayb thats wat i say for now and in 2 months to come i will be thinking twice bout wat i just said and will be yeling "I wanna quit college"... Anyway.. since the first day here, we have been working our asses off for the talent nite... my group came up with a sketch bout 3 robbers robbing a bank and 2 of them were blind.... i dun wanna be more detailed cuz the whole play is stupid....

anyway... let me jus cut the chase... the winner was group 5.... They did a superb play... i din really get the starting part at first: "DiGi Always The Best Choice" but then i found it was an adverstivement... so basically they did a cinema play... in the middle got news report some more.... like berita terkini on TV3... something bout a bigfoot spotted in NIC and kidnapped the student counsil.... Overall it was a story bout a stupid ungreatful son who literally pushed himother down everytime she attempted to talk to him.... "kids this days"... and i jus had the feel it will turn out be some kind of sentimental thingy.... the best part is the main actor actually started to cry... but it was like a good effect... they saved on the onions... Thats bout the main actor.. bout the main actress.. normally... women always wants to look young.. even if they are 18 and someone says look 20 they get so upset and wanna kill u for saying that... and this girl named Carmen... actually din complain being the old women in the play.... she became the mother who had to be pushed literally to fall because she dunno how to fall down herself...

Though my group onli got 3rd but i still give execellent credit to group 5... Their winning point was using sentimental values which involves the relationship between a mother and son.. They managed to captured the crowds attention and plus they did it so real... they really deserve it... **The idea they use is like a blackmail way... try to make the crowd and the judges sad... and get the sentiments out of them.... And i bet my fren Samuel (the main actor) felt so proud when the judges felt for it** Bas****

Ok... back to the 12 am part... To celebrate our victorious and joyfull ass whooping practises that we went through for about a week which some indian assholes in our team decided to skip group discussion till last min then come and join in.... f***.... The best part is that they can turn up last min and say "I have a better idea... last time in school we did a play about bla...bla...bla... bla..."... they actually have the balls in them to ask us to change the play... I dun wanna think of it...

So my group consellor, Chewing Gum (Banana flavour).... Decided to take us out for a treat... well not really take us out... but its a figure of speech... we went to StarBakers ( in-college cafe)... I noe it sounds like a cheap imitation of StarBucks... well i thought a like too... anywayz... it was a whole bunch of fun there... and after the clock stuck 12am... i went mad... dunno wat happened... this some crazy posing... a slight gay activities.... no further explanation....

actually i wanted to stay up till late as almost everyone was still there... but i have an 8am class and i wanted to watch the ManU match... i noe its rather ironic cuz 1.. i hate ManU.... 2... i dun watch football... but well... my frens asked me to do so... and instead im doin a blogpost now... the day has turned down-side-up... Wat a day...

ok... sorry for the super long long long post... thx for reading... i wanna type more but look at the time... 4.30 am... cioaz

Super Monday Blues?

Back in Nilai today.... First day of class.... Let me cut it short.... my first class was Physics... My lecturer was teaching crap. S.I unit. Asking us if we noe bout paralax error and asking questions bout units that we have learnt during f4... she was not realy asking... but more like teaching us that... i and farah was like freaking bored... almost slept off..

The afternoon was better... we were in the library... i noe it sounds nerdy but that how it was.... spent have the time kutuking this girl named jenny.... i cant remember her indian name.... she was bout to strangle me do death.... haha.... i lost the sense of time and i quickly rushed for my next class.... The most ****** up part of it was we were sitting there for more than half an hour waiting for the lecturer and she din turn u... damn shit!!!

at night we had the rehersal for the talent night... bit kelam-kabut but it was ok.... i cant type more... the brandwith here is freaking slow....

Practice Makes Perfect!

After coming back from coll i decided its time to get back to sitar practice... its been bout 4 days since i haven touched it... so my dad gave me a tougher practice today.... my fingers are so painful so im tired of typing to much.. i did so many blogpost today... All i can say is that today im typing with my left ring finger instead of my left middle finger cuz in todays practice i had to use the middle finger a lot... so it has become sore... nevertheless... i still have to practice tomorrow and the day after.... damn hard but my dad says im learning quick... thats an improvement... three cheers for Me!... Hip Hip Hooray...

Back!

Yahoo!... Im back in KL... jus update my blog about my week event and u will see couple of blog post for the weekend...

Enjoying life with taman frens....

More Orientation...

Finally... Last day of orientation... Friday (today) i can go back... Yahoo!.... Lets see.. i got up fashionablly late today as usual... Actually, me and my fren Kevin was planning to take the bus from the coll and go around Nilai because the next activity will be held at 3pm.... but unfortunately we had group practice at 12pm... so potong steam... Anyway... i gave them the script... it was just as a rough idea... but what we practiced was really out of the script... we kept makin it funnier till it became super stupid... i dun wanna explain...

Anyway... he had a kinda boring talk... so i dun wanna bore u up to... The interesting event was DODGEBALL!!!! this activity was like super cun... i dun really noe the full rules but i noe how to win onli... hehe... This is the time where the most gentle guy becomes agressive... and girls are treated equally.... it became so interesting where a couple of games came down till 1 vs 5... and the best part was 5 ppl threw the ball at the same time towards the one guy and he dodged all the ball and countered them quickly until it came 2 vs 1... then they got him.... really good show... I dun wanna give so detailed explanation... all i can say is that my group made it to the finals and we got second...

After that i did more typing of the script... more practice... at night me and chewing gum were sitting in the cafe talking till late untill the cafe ppl had to literally ask us to get out... we walked around the campus and then settled in the canteen with a group of my frens and we talked till 3 am untill we decided to sleep.... that was really good... i think i talked to much that i dun even have to eat chewing gum ( real chewing gum.. not Chewy) to exercise my mouth... hehe...

Day 2... Life Goes On!

I was planing to start staying in Nilai on the week after the orientation week. But then the sadest thing or maybe the happiest thing happened.. Group meeting for the talent nite was to be held every night at 8 pm.. so i had no choice to but to stay there... I finally met my Mongolian room-mate... he is a nice guy... looks like a chinese guy.. before i met him all my frens was trying to scare me saying that he might be gay or something... but he is ok...

So we had the academic induction.... its a program where u will meet ur head of department and he will brief u about the course ur taking... so its like the Q&A session... later we had the Life After 5pm program... i thought it was gonna be a talk but it turned out to be acrobatics.... damn... my legs hurt big time dat day... i promised myself not to do acrobatics in my life.... CRAZY SHIT!! furthermore, that morning we had a telematch where we had to do various activities which im so lazy to explain now... we did quite a bit of running in the morning so more or less we were dead shit tired....

We had group meeting then... I became the group leader... we are gonna do a play... my group is like sleeping group or something like that.... onli me and chewing gum is coming up with ideas... when ask the rest of the group, all they can say is "im thinking"... so we agreed to do a play on robing the bank.... So i stayed up with chewing gum in the cafe untill 12 am writting the script... it was like damn short cuz i was like so tired to keep thinking the whole day...

When it was done jus went to bed... after being so tired i thought i thought i will knock out... but i ended up waking up every hour and sleeping again... mayb im not used to staying there for the first time... hehe...

Day 1...

Today was the first day in my college life... I dunno if i was excited or nervous?? Anyway.... it was onli orientation week and i onli choose to go for the compulsory programs.... i met a couple of new ppl... there was this kinda boring talk bout "living a fulfilled college life"... Boring!! The following segment was the Ice Breaking session... this was kinda interesting...

We first played a game... i dunno wats it called... we had to sit in a circle and there will be an empty seat... so the ppl sitting on both sides of the empty seats must get up hold hands and run and grab a person from the other side to that empty seat and the game goes on... if the music stop and u still havent found a person to bring back to the empty seat u will get a penalty.... the penalty was so funny... this 2 guys have to go to a girl and say "Honey, If u love me, Please smile!".... Lolz...

The next game was passing the parcel... but this time was a cup will with some kind of juice... There was 5 cups being passed around at the same time... so when the music to stops, the person holding the cup will have to chose either to drink that juice or take penalty.... the juice was damn bitter (according to the ppl who drank it) ...... Next Game was where ur group has to form the longest line using everything u own...

There is this talent night thing which we have to take part on 4th April... So tomorrow there will be a meeting... so i have to stay over this week... the counselor in-charge of my group is nice... her name is Ong Chui Yee (Chewy) but she said u can even call me chewing gum..haha... Banana Flavour chewing gum... dun ask y its banana...

Guess i have to see wat tomorrow is in store for me...

Nilai here i come!

Finally! After months of decision... i finally enrolled for Nilai International College... I went there for thier open day yesterday and i checked out the place... it seemed like a nice place... anyway... i will be doin diploma in Mechanical Engineering there... its a 2.5 years course there.... so that means i will be staying in nilai for the whole course....

Its kinda sad for me to leave Cuepacs... all my fren are here and my whole life was actually here... and the most ironic part is that ppl from other states comes to KL to further their studies but im going out of KL to study... I will be starting tomorrow... Orientation week...

I jus got my room today... apparently my room mate is a mongolian guy.... havent met him yet... but i hope he is a nice guy... so far i onli noe 3 ppl in Nilai College.. 2 ppl from my taman and another girl from SBU... And the best part is the SBU girl is taking the same course as me....

So i guess there wont be very frequent blog post from me from now on.... i will be back on the weekends.... so thats when i will be online for long hours again... hehe...

Sitar Passion!

Surprisingly... After 18 years, then onli i decide i want to learn how to play the sitar when it has been lying in ever since i was born... at least i think it has been that long... And i've heard my dad playing it a couple of times but never really took the interest to play even though the sound of the music is so sweet... i did actually asked my dad to teach me, but he said he needs 2 sitars to teach me... one he plays and the other i use... its not like i dun have 2 sitars at home.. as the matter of fact i have 4... but i was too darn lazy to bring the other ones down and get it cleaned so i just dropped the interest....

On Thursday , my cousin came to my house.. After dinner she was sitting in the hall and listening to my dad play the sitar and my dad was teaching her a few things... so thats when i asked my dad to teach me how to play and thats how it started.... the next day i took the all the 4 sitars and cleaned it... onli 3 of them could be used... so i actually took one of it and scrubbed all the 20 frets which was rusty with sand paper.... though job but wanted to do it...

When it came to the learning part, im still suffering... U see the strings are finer than the guitar string... and when u play u have to press is so hard and u have to drag ur hand while pressing the string to change the notes... So all i've been playing was do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do.... and backwards... that itself is killing my fingers... my index finger on my left hand its so painful that im actually typing this whole blog using my left middle finger instead of my index finger... hehe....

After talking so much bout it... let me actually give u a short briefing bout the sitar...

A Hindustani classical stringed instrument, it utilizes sympathetic strings along with a gourd resonating chamber to produce a very lush sound. Sitar is a long necked instrument with an interesting construction. It has a varying number of strings but 17 is usual. It has three to four playing strings and three to four drone strings. The approach to tuning is somewhat similar to other Indian stringed instruments. These strings are plucked with a wire finger plectrum called mizrab. There are also a series of sympathetic strings lying under the frets. These strings are almost never played but they vibrate whenever the corresponding note is sounded. The frets are metal rods which have been bent into crescents. The main resonator is usually made of a gourd and there is sometimes an additional resonator attached to the neck.

Reformating..

Windows XP.... Wat can i say bout it??? Somthing to be proud of expect for the security loop holes in it... It easy to use XP but its difficult to maintain its performance.. Using XP without any protection, im talking bout good anti-virus and firewall is as good as leaving ur house front door open for the thief to come it... this is because as soon as u use the net, u are bound to get spywares, malwares and viruses that harms ur PC big time.. Sometimes its comes to a level where the onli option left is to reformat ur PC... The word reformat already sounds harsh to PC users as it erases everything from ur hard disk and reinstalls the copy or Windows... This means good bye programs and data.... its like doing 20 add maths questions on ur answer sheet, erasing them and writing them again... This guid will come in handy to many people as it will save u RM30 or sometimes RM50 if u send it to the computer repair shop to do it...

1. First and Foremost, we need to set ur computer to boot from ur Windows CD. Normally, ur pc will load the files from ur hard disk in order to run Windows. But this time its the reverse.. All u will have to do is press the DEL, F2, ESC or F12 button depending on ur system as soon as u on ur pc to enter ur BIOS set up... Thats where we will be changing the boot option... If ur not sure which button to press, look on ur screen if it is written "SETUP" anywhere... If ur still not sure, keep tapping any one of the keys i mention above untill the setup page comes out.. The Setup Page should look like this:

or

2. If ur Setup screen looks like image1, then press ur up and down keys on ur keyboard to navigate to "Boot". There u will see a lift of device ur computer will boot from.. All u have to do is go down to the first boot device and click the + or - button on ur keyboard till the first boot option becomes the CD Drive.. Next u have to change ur second boot device as ur Hard Disk (HDD). When dat is done, press the F10 button on ur keyboard. A message will pop out asking would u like to save the changes, go to YES and press ENTER.



3. If ur SETUP screen looks like image2, press ur arrow keys on the keyboard to navigate to Advance BIOS Features.. Next go down to "First Boot Device" and hit the enter key... a list of device will come out and select CD-ROM or anything that resembles ur CD-ROM or DVD drive... go to "Second Boot Device" and now select ur Hard Disk (HDD)... when that is done press F10 on ur keyboard so save ur settings... a message will pop out and press y on ur keyboard for yes...




4. The PC will now restart and now insert the windows XP CD into ur cd drive... A message will pop up.. "Press any key to boot from cd".. so u press any key on ur keyboard.. The blue screen will come on with the title Windows XP... it will be loading some files so jus wait...

5. A welcome screen will appear. All u have to do is follow the instructions... So, press ENTER to set up windows XP.... Next, The license Agreement page will appear... u dun have to read it... Just press F8 to agree to it...






6. The next page that appears is asking if u want to repair ur copy of Windows... (obviously not)... So press ESC to reinstall windows.. When the next page appears... make sure ur C drive is selected and then press ENTER...





7. In this page u will see several option... dun worry... all u have to do is select Format with NTFS (quick)... if that option is not there... then select Format with FAT (quick).... Finally Press ENTER...


8. This is the time where u get to take a break... the setup will delete al the files and reinstall them again to continue with the main setup... after its done it will automatically restart the pc..

9. When the pc restarts, DO NOT PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM THE CD! let windows run like normal... Thats where the real installation kicks in... This part is not hard at all... Jus follow all the instructions and it will install within 30 mins or less....

10. Ur done... u have a fresh copy or ur Windows... no more spyware....

Evolution of Graphic Card??

As we know it, IT industry is growing vastly and all attention has been drawn to Graphic Card and Mother Boards as it technology wise. I recently subcribed to PC.COM magazine after one full year of being out of touch with the IT industry development and later found out my most loved PC magazine "CHIP" has stop its publication... **sob**...

Now as i read the latest publications, motherboards and graphic cards catch my attention every time. Graphic cards has come a long way since i used my first Nvidia GeForce 2 which im still using till today... U see... There are currently 2 manufacturer on the graphic card chips in the market that is ATI and NVDIA... This company has been there since the those days... At that time, graphic cards din come with a built in fan and onli had 32Mb of RAM on it... But now, things have changed big time... Let not even talk bout fans, graphic cards now r using thermal cooling, liquid cooling and things i've never heard of to reduce the heat produced... Speaking of 32MB of RAM?? If any graphic card comes with 32MB RAM, its a guaranty no sale!!.. ATI Radeon x1600 series of grahpic cards now comes with 512MB of RAM in it... If we talk bout a standard everyday use computer, 512MB of RAM is more than enough to ensure a fast performing PC. Even better, 512 MB of RAM is even enough to run VISTA!!

Lets not go so detailed into it... cuz i might jus confuse my self... let me show u how graphic cards has evolved...

The first card i use : NVIDIA GeForce 2 -> NVIDIA GeForce 3 -> NVIDIA GeForce 4 -> NVIDIA Geforce FX 5xxx Series -> NVIDIA GeForce 6xxx Series -> NVIDIA GeForce GO 7xxx Series -> NVIDIA GeForce 8xxx Series...









GeForce 2

GeForce 3

GeForce 4

GeForce FX 5700

GeForce 6600

GeForce Go 7600

GeForce 8800GTX AquaTank











ATI Fans out there... forgive me... im onli doing the review on NVIDIA cards.... From GeForce 2 till GeForce FX 5700, the connection type to the computer was the AGP slot... later models were then released on PCI Express x16 slots.... if ur asking ur self... Wats the difference between AGP and PCI-E??? AGP slot speed can onli go up to 8X where else PCI-E slots can go up to 64X speed... But Graphic cards nowadays onli go up to 16X speed... Wat i would like to point out in this post (finally! after all the reading) is the cooling system the grahpic card has... In Geforce 2 to GeForce 4... u see a slight change in the fan size... Card manufactures tried to reduce the heat using bigger fans.. Unfortunately, the issue of heat still presist when they introduced Geforce FX 5700. So, they used heat-sinks to reduce the heat. Next in GeForce 6600 and 7600, they had to rely on big fans and copper heat sink.. I was astonished and shocked when i saw the GeForce 8800 card by ASUS where they used water cooling system... In the real world of machinery... water-cooling systems is nothing new.. But its such a known fact that electronic compartments r very sensitive to water or moist... This was wat caught my attention... In addition to that, they r also using a fan and heat-sink together...

Thats Not all wat Graphic Cards have come too... U'll see more when i show u the ATI cards..
