Holiday's Gonna End Soon
1. Stressed Out
Recently, I got stressed out because holiday is ending FAST! After holiday, it's "children life" no more, things getting pretty serious. I will have to study XXXtra hard to pass my SPM. I will have to really start thinking what I want to do in the future. After exam, I will have to find a job to continue living in this world. Actually, I was suppose to find a job during this long holiday, but I wasn't really ready for it ("ayam-ed" out). The thing is I still need to face the world no matter what. Ain't that part of my "Blogotto"--blog's motto--?!?
2. Pray My Grandfather - 14 Dec
Last Sunday, I went to pray my grandfather at town. So far, the day that I woke up the earliest was on that day, 9.30am. So shocked to see so many people on the road although it was so early at that time. It's kinda weird because I have not seen before this grandfather in real life. He passed away before I was born. I heard stories from my mother that my grandfather was a fierce and a strict man. He wore spectacles. When I first see a pic of him at the crematorium, I just couldn't stop imagining that he might just be like PhuaChuKang's dad. Strict, wearing specs, fierce & most probably my grandfather walk as straight as PCK's dad too.
3. Mom's Birthday
Coincidentally, my mom's birthday fell on that same Sunday. After coming back from town, I just can't stand being conscious anymore because I WAS TOO SLEEPY!!!! So, I slept from 2.30pm-5.30pm. Then, my father told me that my brother's wife brought a cake for my mom while I was asleep. My father was like kept praising the cake SO beautiful and insist me to have look at it in the fridge. I know my father's character. He just wanna eat the cake.
Brother ordered a Domino's pizza as a "side dish". As my present for my mom---help her to eat the cake----my help was not needed to finish the pizza because there was some EXTRA help(s) from my brother & dad.

Some weird Domino's chicken ads found when I was searching for the pic above

Updating My Blog Once More
It's been 3 weeks since I last updated my blog. Well, not much did happen. But, there are few things that I wanna write about:
1) My PC
It broke down twice in a period of about 2/3 weeks time. I know I did install some stupid DVD burner software that caused the first breakdown. About the second computer crash, I'm not sure about it. It happened 2 days ago. I don't think any new installing caused the crash. So, be careful for those who loves installing new stuffs in their computer like me. I'm just glad my brother did backup-ed my hard drive using the Acronis True Image. He did all the backup-ing for the two breakdown although I really wanted to learn to do it myself.
2) New HP
My brother gave me his old handphone that is very bulky and heavy, but it looks cool for me. This Nokia 6680 has these features that I copied from this website:
* Two integrated cameras: 1.3 megapixel and VGA
* High-speed connections with 3G and EDGE
* Two-way video call capability for face-to-face communication
* Video sharing capability
* Nokia XpressPrint printing solution including PictBridge direct printing
* Fast, convenient email access
* High-resolution, 262,144-color display
* Music player with stereo audio
In fact, I wasn't really plan to use the phone. First of all, I don't really use hp to phone my friends nor to SMS them (I'm the worst SMSer ever). Even, my father SMSes more than me. Here's actually what I planned. I want to sell off my MP3 and this handphone. So that I can upgrade my graphic card(64MB) to a better 256MB and play more nice games on my old PC.
I really don't know about all these hardware computer thing. This means I need my brother help again and most probably need his permissions to sell both brother-bought-MP3&handphone.
I know I could keep this handphone for future use. But, for now I'm not really into hp. Plus, I might have to buy a laptop later for my college/university usage. That's when I'm gonna "pek-tai" this stone-age computer. I should be glad actually to own this computer. I got it when I moved to this new house in late 2005. Back at my old house, I do have an even older (ice-age) computer that isn't connected to the internet. I just use it to play some BeeGees's song. So, the young generations should be thankful to have internet-connected computers.
Right now, I'm not sure what to do. Whether to sell the handphone+MP3 since somebody interested to buy my MP3(right, Dianne...?) or just keep using my old graphic card and continuing playing the getting-boring Sims 2?!?
3) Quitted Maple
At last, I was able to quit Maplestory after playing for erhm...not close to even 5 months... I just can't stand doing those stupid PQ that brings us no benefit in learning knowledge. My parents nowadays said I wasted a lot of time playing but they didn't notice that I learnt a lot of new things by just playing games. For example;
#Sims 2 - human interactions (don't think dirty), house-building technique which I think the best part about Sims 2
#Warcraft, SimsCity4, Dynasty Warriors 4 - strategy thinking
4) Outing with friends
I don't think I have to write much about this beach party at Batu Ferringhi since Dianne already blogged just about all the "events" that happened. I know this is my first beach outing with friends. Thanks to Tab-Nat's mom for fetching us. Anyway, I did enjoyed as much as Tab-Nat-Dianne-Ashley-Denise enjoyed it. The food was "hor liau" and I got to eat my first tiramisu. About the walking to Dianne's house, it was really tiring. I think we sweat a lot until our shirts were adding some water-weight while we were climbing up. As for swimming part, although me and Denise didn't swim at Dianne's pool, we enjoyed taking pictures of them swimming instead. I'm just kinda sad when Ashley's mom got scolded (the 2nd time) by my guard when dropping me at my house time. It's really hard to get that incident off my mind.

My PSP Can Play Youtube Videos!
[Edited for easier viewing of the instructions] Instructions:Anyone who wants to watch Youtube videos directly from the site(with WIFI) in their PSP>
1. Visit this website first: PSPTube Guide With Pics
2. If it doesn't work, try following this way:
a) Download this PSPTube. Extract it and create a new folder "PSPTube" in the PSP/Game folder. Copy the extracted files to that folder.
b) Then, download this Super PSPTube. Extract it and copy into that same folder in your PSP. Overwrite the system folder when prompted.
c) Open the application in the Game menu. Press "Select" to change the channel to Youtube and press "x" to search for videos.
Excited...
Whoa! Damn happy now that I am able to play online Youtube videos directly from that site. Of course I can visit Youtube from my PC, but this is different. I always would like to watch videos/surf the net whenever I'm not in front of my PC. Now, I am able to do just that. But, I have to go to "great" length just to get it done.
PSPTube...
First, I just surf the net for information whether any people can watch Youtube videos from their PSP. Then, I learnt about this program/software created by a Japanese developer, SofiyaCat (weird nick). It's called as PSPTube. Since you can't watch videos from Youtube because it only supports Flash 9 while your PSP only has Flash 6/7. This PSPTube enables you those videos from sites like Youtube, DailyMotion, Youku, Stage6, and so on. I can't explain about how it can do that because I am not a tech geek and I don't understand all those processes. I just know how to install it just as being instructed in the website.
Super PSPTube...
However, I did all the copying thing into my PSP but it did not work. I was able to get to the result page of Youtube but unable to get the videos playing. So, I went to search internet for more information. All I got were those forums full of titles like "PSPTube HELP!, My PSPTube not working" and bla...bla... They didn't really say how to fixed all those problems. Just when I was to give up, I found this site > Super PSPTube. It's awesome because this Super PSPTube supports more sites (though I don't really mind what sites they support as Youtube is the greatest among all). So, I decided to give this application a try.
I downloaded it and copy into my PSP. When I saw the wifi green light keeps blinking and that's when I know the video actually is buffering. Then, I saw the video playing! Man, I'm like a happy child with no words to describe that feeling....
*LOL! In this process of installing and searching, I found out that sites like RedTube and PornTube do exist. I guess I don't have to explain what videos they have. Don't mistaken me happy because I can watch blue films in my PSP now. I'm happy because I can watch MV whenever I want*

Not Going for Kayaking
Cancelled, for me...
Most probably, I won't be going to Dianne's house for the pre-planned activity, kayaking. My mom doesn't let me. Among the reasons she gave:
a) Scared got tsunami( toh huit )
b) Chinese New Year coming. That means the season of "rough wind" is coming near and the sea is rough too. Actually, I do experience tough winds nowadays in my home. As you know, my house faces near the sea, so I don't really need to switch on my living room fan. That is also why I don't switch on my fan when I'm sleeping in my room. (love saving energy)
c) This is of course the main reason: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM!
Not knowing this essential skill...
Actually, I do want to go for the kayaking. They look fun in TV. My friends always said I don't like doing such stuffs. You guys should know I like nature activities because I am so loyal to my nature. I sure support my friend(THE NATURE)'s activities. Just sometimes I don't have the mood to do so, instead prefer sleeping or maybe facing my "white box". Too bad, I don't know how to swim or else I would be joining you guys too. I know I can still go and have fun in other ways or I could even talk to my mother. When I think back, I got scared of the fact if I were to drown. I just watched "Poseidon" on Astro the other day. Bloated-stomach dead bodies! NO way I am gonna be like one of them. (Trying to find some wood to touch).
It's just weird that I don't know how to swim eventhough there's a swimming pool at my flat area. I can just simply ask my father for FREE swimming lessons. But, I didn't because I am lazy to learn that and I have no that determination to learn. I think it's gonna be dangerous to let an old man to teach you how to swim. I might save my dad instead. If one day Penang is to sink, I might just probably float on a wood and swim to Prai. Or maybe I can sit on my uncle's fishing boat. Vroom! Vroom! Off to our mainland! Look, it's not that bad afterall for not knowing how to swim. If you wanna a more secured way, buy a robot that can transforms into a hovercraft/ferry in the future. (I think in the JamesBond movies, such "canggih" technology already existed for long, long time ago> Anyway, my brother doesn't even know how to swim either.
Personal Messages:
To Ashley: Sorry, cannot teman you go. But, don't come up my house and start to threaten/force me to go pula. You know I don't know any martial-art if you try to knock me down.
To Dianne: Too bad, too bad. I will just have to pass you the pendrive next year. Don't worry, it's gonna be "alright" for your pendrive to be in my HAND!
* I can't believe I can still write a post although I thought I won't have any topics to be blogged about anymore.*

Don't Know What to Write
It's the end of my "online life"...
I don't know what to write for my blog anymore. It's gonna be holiday season. I can be sure at that time, there will be sure no topics to blog about. You guys call me to update, but what to update. Everyday, it's either I go to school or at home.
1. School
Most probably I will sleep all the time. That Thursday, we all just did our Chemistry Peka and I finished up my Sejarah notes which must be passed up for our marks but I didn't pass up to the teacher in the end because I was lazy to walk to the staffroom. After recess, I slept from 12pm to 2pm. Then, I sit the bus and went home. Somemore, nowadays my bus must fetch the ChungLing boys(mata KahMei "terbeliak" and "senyum-senyum sinis" if she hears this) and that means I need to reach home 10minutes late.
2. Home
I usually wake up at 12pm. I eat my brunch( didn't know this word existed) and read the newspaper. After that, I switched on my com and sit in front of it until at night. At 12am, I switched off the com and watch Tv. The movies shown on 411-413 are usually horror/sci-fi at night. So, I watched about 1/2 movies before I go to sleep. But, sometimes my brain can't stand the life anymore and call me go to sleep earlier. And this cycle continues day after day.
So, what do you expect me to blog about? Maybe, I should take a long leave and blog again next year. Oh ya, CONGRATZ to Obama for winning the election. I remembered saw a picture of him talking(/not sure doing what) to a small girl in the newspaper. You can see he's a man full of love for humans just from that picture. I know from that point HE'S THE MAN!
The picture I saw wasn't this but this picture sends quite the same message (Love for humankind). I know, I know... John McCain or other candidates may have pictures showing them talking to a child too. But, too bad I saw a pic. of this man, Obama with a child first. So, I support Obama. GO-BAMA!Monday, November 10, 2008 | 0 Comments
