[FIX] USB devices not recognized on Windows 7

2011-08-02T16:40:00.000+08:00

It was a frustrating personal experience just moments ago.
I was in office and none of my USB ports recognizes any of my USB devices.
I scampered for a solution online without a moment of hesitation.
After hours of grueling digging and searching on Google.
I've finally found a solution which really works.

- Unplug your computer. Don't just turn it off with the power button, you need to actually unplug the cable from the power supply for at least 1 minute. This often resets your USB hub on your motherboard.

- Remove the battery. If your computer is a laptop, remove the power cable and battery for at least 2 to 3 minutes before plugging it back in and restarting Windows.

The second step worked for me as I am a laptop user. After 3 minutes, I turned on my laptop and everything was back to normal.

I found the solution from this website. Hence, credits to the website:

Busy as a bee

2011-06-24T12:04:00.003+08:00

Omg, it's been so long since I've updated my blog ><
Been really busy lately after settling down in my new company.
Just gotten my new laptop two weeks ago and spent about 4-5 days configuring it because there were just too many movies to catch, and Green Lantern was awesome!

Anyway, if you're wondering what laptop I got for myself, I dare say I finally gotten hold of a decent gaming laptop.

My Facebook album for Unveiling the Dell XPS 15 core i7

The Dell XPS 15 really has some extreme juice packed in it. I'm able to run Red Faction: Armageddon, Lost Planet 2 and Dungeon Siege 3 on DirectX 11 and very high settings without any glitches or low frame rates.
I am waiting to get my hands on some original titles such as StarCraft II and Diablo III.
Also not forgetting the all new Razer Mamba 4G mouse, it's so totally cool, but sadly, it's not available in Singapore yet.

If you missed out on my previous entry, I'll fill you up to-date with my latest development.
I'm currently working and residing in Singapore.
It's really cool here. The transportation is just awesome, you can practically go anywhere with their MRT and bus system here.
Food is amazing, that is really important and not to mention the best part is earning and spending here.
Things are cheap if you're earning in SGD, such as my laptop for example, it's just S$ 1,784.60, compared to the price in Malaysia which is RM 3,484.00.

Of course, after conversion you might say Malaysia is cheaper, but for those earning MYR and buying it, it won't be cheaper for them.
Let's say I'm earning MYR 3,000, I can't afford the laptop, but if I'm earning SGD 3,000, the laptop is cheap for me.

Anyway, I am really thankful to be able to grab the opportunity to work in Singapore.
It's a huge leap in my career path. The cost of living here is relatively low and if I ever go back to Malaysia for visiting, I am able to really stretch my dollars, conversion rate is 1 SGD = 2.45 MYR as of now =P

Oh yea, forgot to mention that the internet speed here is blazing fast.
I never ever experienced a disconnection here before while surfing the web or gaming online.

I'll find some other time to update again, been really busy lately with my work.
Good luck and have fun all! cheers~

Prospect Abroad

2011-05-23T22:03:00.001+08:00

I will not be updating my blog anytime soon with any major updates such as the continuation of my Melbourne trip because I currently do not possess a computer or a laptop.

This is due to not a bad news but instead an extremely good news.
I have found a job in Singapore and just started my first day there and it was awesome!
Colleagues are friendly and I have a joker for a HR manager.

Once I have stabilized, I'll be getting myself a Dell XPS 15 laptop
which I have been eyeing for quite some time now.
Therefore, till the company gives me a laptop or once I get my laptop, I will not be doing any major entry updates to my blog.

So, check back in next month or so and hopefully there'll be updates by then.
For now, it'll just be tiny updates about me and my new prospect in Singapore =)
Good luck and have fun to all!

Day 3 of the trip, Day 2 in Melbourne.

2011-05-18T02:08:00.000+08:00

Sorry about the delay in updates. A lot of things have been happening lately but of course, nothing that I cannot handle =)
Apart from that, I had a really good and long weekend over in Singapore, with someone ;p

Anyway, continuing with my updates about my Melbourne trip.

Day 3 started out late because both of us are tired and the hotel's bed was too comfortable to be left alone.
However, my stomach called out, so I had to wake up first before the hotel's breakfast was over.
I quickly wash up and went down for a light meal before the breakfast time is over.

After a light breakfast, I went back up to wash up and head back to bed till she was awake.
We then head out for the real breakfast which we had in an awesome store that serves probably the best selections of pancakes, called Pancake Parlour.

She order the Chocolate Jubilee, which is filled with chocolate all over as you can see in the picture below.
While I ordered my favourite, the Country Breakfast that have lots of bacons, mushrooms, eggs.. well, you get the picture =P

*Chocolate Jubilee*

*Country Breakfast*

After our sweet sinful and yummy wholesome breakfast, and about 3 refills of coffee later,
we decided to spend our 2nd day in Melbourne exploring the city and taking lots of scenery pictures.
We started out from Collins Street and headed towards Swanston Street because we wanted to see those cute horse carriages again as last night was quite dark and couldn't see much.

After reaching Swanston, we walked towards St. Paul's Cathedral which is located at the Swanston Street and Flinders Street intersection.
We spent quite some time there to take a few pictures and we saw this really cute bird standing on a statue's head. Pictures below:

*See the bird?*

*St. Paul's Cathedral up close*

*St. Paul's Cathedral taken from

Federation Square*

Then we visited the Federation Square and also the tourist centre which is located in there to look at some sourvenirs.
It was getting really cold as we got closer to Federation Square because the Yarra River is located just beyond there, and also since the Federation Square is a large open area, it's quite windy there.

*Federation Square*

After spending some time in the Tourist Centre, we headed towards the bridge along St. Kilda Road to take some really nice pictures of the Yarra River.
It was already quite late when we reach the Yarra River because we started our day late.
We spent close to half an hour or more on the bridge just admiring and taking pictures of the river, and of course, a little couple chat.

*Yarra River*

It was turning dark when we decided to look for dinner. We couldn't decide where to have our dinner, so upon reaching the intersection of Russell Street and Little Bourke Street, I decided to have some chinese food for dinner.
Which we then entered Little Bourke Street and the whole street is a Chinatown.
We went into a Malaysian cafe called Oldtown Kopitiam. Both of us had the Hainanese Chicken rice, which was not bad, and the serving of the chicken was generous.

*Oldtown Kopitiam*

After dinner, we headed back to our hotel. While on the way back to our hotel, we saw this two person playing this really huge chess set on the street. You can see how big it is below, lol:

*Huge chess set*

Well, this practically sums up our 2nd day in Melbourne, although to be exact, it's the 3rd day of the trip =)
The hotel room feels good, especially a hot bath after a day out in the cold.

Will update again as soon as I have the time. So, do drop by again in about a week~

Good morning Melbourne!

2011-05-04T12:10:00.000+08:00

Again, it's tough to find a slot amidst my tight work schedule.
However, it seems I've managed to squeeze in a little blogging now.

Okay, so to continue where I left off 3 days ago.. I think.
We got on the airport transfer bus along with 1 other passenger.
Along the way, I did snapped a few pictures with the new dslr which we got specifically for this occasion, while she was snoozing away on the seat with the head leaning on the window, which I took a picture of her =P
However, I will not be uploading it as I still have a life which I treasure alot..
Right.. so I was playing with the dslr. Not quite used to the manual mode yet, and because I didn't want to miss anything, I snapped a few pictures as the bus was moving with the Auto mode.
Which in the end, it was as good as snapping nothing..
There goes my attempt number 1 for trying to act like a pro photographer which clearly I'm not..

As we came closer to Melbourne Central Business District (CBD), we entered a really beautiful bridge.
Which she totally missed it because she was busy filling the bus with some "zzZ" xD
I didn't manage to take any picture of the bridge because:-
1. The bus was too shaky.
2. Still a dslr newbie.

After being on the freeway for around +/- 20 minutes. The skyscrapers of Melbourne CBD came into view.
Nothing beats the uplifting feeling of a start of a well deserved wonderful vacation.
After dropping off the first passenger to Collins Street, the bus then headed to where our hotel was located, Little Collins Street.

Upon checking into the hotel, we headed straight for the room as we were very sleepy and tired.
After snapping some pictures of the room and changed into a more comfortable attire, we slept till late afternoon.

*Causeway 353 @ Little Collins St.*

*Her favourite part of the room, the bathtub!*

If it weren't for my hungry stomach, I don't think I'll ever wake up.
We got changed and went out to search for dinner around Chinatown, but instead we got drawn into this beautiful building called the Royal Arcade.
Stumbled upon a chocolate store there, so we had a taste of some Aussie hot chocolate first as the weather was cold.

*The Royal Arcade*

*Easter Eggs!*

*Yummy hot chocolates*

After the nice round of hot chocolate and a lot of picture snapping.
We continued our search for dinner till we got too tired and just entered a local fast food chain called Hungry Jacks, which was in fact the same company as Burger King.
Once I have finished my burger and she has finished my fries, we went to shop for souvenirs.

*Flinder's Street Station*

*One of many street performers*

While looking for the various stuff available, I spotted a really cute stuff toy Wombat, and she immediately fell for it. So, all we got from the first day souvenir shopping was the Wombat, lol.

*Her cute wombat~*

We headed back to the hotel after that because it was still raining and the weather was really cold.
That basically wraps up for the day. Will write about Day 2 soon, stay tuned =)

Singapore to Melbourne

2011-04-26T16:44:00.003+08:00

"The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see."

- G.K. Chesterton

At last, with some free time on hand I can start blogging about my trip to Melbourne.

I know it's kind of weird to travel so sudden without any public holidays during April,
but the reason I chose to travel during April is because for the first time I do not want to
spend my birthday in Malaysia.
It's getting kinda bored you know with the same food and weather all year round.
That's why when I travel, I usually choose a country with a different climate, at least one with a four season.

Initially, mice and I planned to go Japan during April but since the triple disaster struck
Tokyo, we can't help it but change our plan to Melbourne.
So I did all the planning, bookings and visa applications.

As I eagerly wait for the day of our departure to arrive, I grew more anxious..
I started to double and even triple check every single thing, might be more than triple even.
I even made her print out additional copies of all the bookings and vouchers and
in the end, we had two of every document.
So I traveled down to Singapore early morning on our departure day which was the 8th of April.

We've already packed everything into a single humongous luggage the week before which weighs like a ton but surprisingly it only totaled up to 18.0 kg.
She worked for half a day, and around 4pm we headed straight home to get ready as her dad was dropping us to the airport around 6pm.
After we arrived at the airport, we took some pictures of Changi Terminal 3 then headed to the check in counter for Singapore Airlines.

*Changi Airport Terminal 3*

We checked in early and we had a light dinner.. well, it was heavy for me =S
After dinner, we went into the departure hall to look at some duty free goods.
Before we knew it, it was time to board the plane.

*Inside the Airbus A380*

She was excited because we specifically took the last flight to Melbourne so we could board the A380 Airbus.
Furthermore, we got her favorite seat next to the window which overlooks the wings.
While she was snapping away with her iPhone, I was busy looking at the menu =P

Well, nothing much during the flight just that there were two babies competing who's gonna win the loudest crying award.
Moments after entering cruising altitude, dinner was served.
Awhile later, I guess Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 somehow charmed her to sleep.

After 7 hours or so being in the plane, we finally arrive in Melbourne! which was 6.30am Melbourne time and 4.30am Singapore/Malaysia time~

Upon exiting the airplane into the airport, I could feel the difference in the coolness of the air already.. or maybe it's just the air-condition ._. we'll know soon enough~

After much walking, we arrive at the immigration checkpoint.
Unlike Singapore and Malaysia, their process speed was fast even though the queue was long.
After around 10 minutes of being in line, it's our turn. We were asked some basic question in a very friendly and welcoming manner, like why are we here, where we'll be staying and what we'll be doing.
They were like so friendly, which makes me wonder why can't the people back at home be more like them.

Anyway, after we were welcomed to Melbourne, we took another short walk to the luggage retrieval conveyor belt thingy.
After getting our luggage, we were told to place down all our backpacks and luggages on the floor and stand aside.
Then a cute custom dog, a beagle, came and sniffed for illegal products.

Upon exiting the arrival hall, I went to get us airport transfer to our hotel.
After around 15 minutes, our bus came and we're off to Melbourne CBD =D

Will continue in the next entry.. This entry is already too long. Stay tuned~

你愛我像誰

2011-04-25T17:15:00.000+08:00

我什麼都沒有

只是有一點吵

如果你感到寂寞

我帶給你熱鬧

為你繞一繞

沒有什麼大不了

卻可以讓你微笑

其實我很煩惱

只是你看不到

如果我也不開心

怕(而)你轉身就逃

愛上一個人

一定要讓他相信

這世界多麼美好

對每個人

都說還好

我的心我的情你不需要明瞭

只要我對你好

這樣的溫柔你要不要

其實你愛我像誰

扮演什麼角色我都會

快不快樂我無所謂

為了你開心

我忘記了累不累

其實你愛我像誰

任何的表情我都能給

在你身上學會流眼淚

- Simple Plan

I wonder how big some people's head could grow until.
Some people just got to know their position and think before they comment on something which they themselves do not even have the capability to achieve.

There are people who grew up with everything given to them by their parents, you name it, watches, wallet, clothes, handbags, shoes, gadgets and sometimes even a car.
These people either are retarded or spastic to even comment about how others are spending their money when their own branded items are all given to them by their parents, lmao.

Seriously? that's really lame please. These people are what we call Armchair Critics.
Well, a word for these people.. You appear bright till you open your mouth. Get it?

Live, Love & Enjoy

- Albert Einstein

Recently I've just purchased a Samsung NX100 dslr from Singapore which only costs me SGD 820.
It came in a package with free camera bag, flash, memory card, a jacket protector, lens filter and screen protector. It was very worth it.

Will replace this poor picture soon when I have the time to actually snap some photos of it.
The NX100 has the capability of recording video at 720p HD quality and of course the lens is interchangable.
In my opinion, the NX100 is much more user-friendlier than Canon or Nikon beginner dslr(s).
Furthermore, it has a built-in "Photoshop" and a feature called Beauty shot which is like really cool.

Apart from getting the NX100, if you know me well enough, you'll know that I always have the word food in my itinerary *smirks*

This cafe below serves a wide variety of bratwurst or more commonly known as sausages to us.

If I am not mistaken, the cafe is called Bratwurst Cafe. Their breakfast set reminds me of the breakfast I had during my Europe trips.

I'm not really in the blogging mood today, probably too much work to be done before my break.
So, I wish all of you good luck and have fun in the coming days.

U-Turn in Life

2011-03-29T10:47:00.001+08:00

"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forward."

- Soren Kierkegaard

"royalty-free image taken from INMAGINE.COM"

I'm sure that many of us, at some point in life wished for a reset button or a chance to change the past.
However, the sad thing about life is there is no such thing.

Like the picture above, we can only move forward and there's no u-turn.
If we encounter an obstacle, we'll have to find a way around it and there's really no turning back.
I have met many people who wished they could change certain things they've done in the past and there are some who couldn't let go of the past, myself included.

For me, it's not about not being able to let go of the past. In fact, I've managed to let go of many things which I thought I wouldn't be able to.
I just wished I could change a part in my past and wouldn't lose a few precious friends of mine.
That's my only regret.. my regret of losing my friends. Friends who once stood strong by my side and came to my aid no matter the time and circumstances..

I was too dumb and blinded.. I can't blame anyone but myself for it.
It is because I believe that no one could make you do things without you allowing it in the first place.
We all have a choice; I had a choice; and I took the wrong one.

However, regret could only go so far.
Therefore, since we couldn't change the past, we could only learn from it and prevent the same mistake.
I am thankful I still have a few friends and I am also thankful I am able to meet new ones.

Anyway, just learn to move forward and let the past be a lesson learned.
Holding onto the past prevents one from moving forward.
Good luck and have fun to all~

Why Stress?

2011-03-28T10:53:00.001+08:00

"Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency"

- Natalie Goldberg

"royalty-free image taken from INMAGINE.COM"

Why am I stress?
What am I stressing about?

Sometimes I asks myself these question and when I give it a sufficient amount of thought, I realized that even if I worry or stress about it, I can't do anything about it because the answer for the question in hand is not up to me.

I think it's silly to even stress about it because I have a backup plan, but why do I still stress if I have backup plan? To make it simple, my backup plan requires me to ask favors from others which personally I do not like owing favors to others.

Furthermore, asking favors from others will just make me think of silly stuff like they will look down on me.
It gives me a sense as though they do not trust me or is doubting whether I can return the favor that I owe them.

So it's back to the question of why stress?
I guess it's just the way our mind works. When we feel helpless about something, we just can't help stressing over it. Whatever it is, of course I hope for the best result and I will just have to try my best not to trouble others over my problem. It's just me I guess.

"Doubt yourself and you doubt everything you see. Judge yourself and you see judges everywhere. But if you listen to the sound of your own voice, you can rise above doubt and judgment. And you can see forever."

- Nancy Kerrigan

There are time when you'll have a period of time where you doubt yourself or think that you do not measure up to a certain level of expectations.
Maybe I have been facing that uncertainties for the past one or two days but it's not that big of an issue. It's just some thoughts that's been going through my mind.
Perhaps that's the cause of my sleepless nights.

It's kind of troubling because this issue isn't supposed to happen in the first place.
It makes me feel like I am standing on a thin layer of ice that may break anytime.
Which is a kind of feeling I do not like..
Anyway, will update again soon and hopefully things will turn out to be better.

Sleepy Thoughts

"A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book."

- Irish Proverb

I'm falling asleep in office, but office hour is going to end in another 30 minutes.
I've been rather sleepy lately, it's most definitely due to me unable to sleep.
Have been sleeping rather late, most of the time around 1.30 - 2am.. for some unknown reason.

Anyway, I've been really happy about something which is going to happen, but I can't really say it out loud for some reason which I can't tell.
Although I really wish to share it with the world =x
but I'm happy enough that it is happening already.

However, I am still sleepy. So.. I'm going to slack for awhile, lol.
Good luck, have fun to all!

"It isn't always about where your heart is.

It's about what you've done and what you're going to do."

- Sam Witmer as Davis Bloome

Smallville is coming to an end with their 10th season.

The series was great and it started out way back in 2001 where each episode is an individual story.

It then started to turn into a long story, a to-be-continued kind, which was even better and intense.

Anyway, it's kind of sad that this series is coming to an end.

I hope they will show that Clark Kent will finally learn how to fly! It's been 10 seasons now and the young Superman still doesn't knows how to fly, kinda ridiculous...

There's 22 episodes for this final season, it's out till 17 now, hope it'll not be disappointing.

End of March

"Some people need to learn to fuck off from the lives of the people they've hurt"

- A quote by me, eat that asshole.

Finally got that off my chest. Feeling a little better now, but if I could see that person trip on his own shoes would really make my day.

Sorry to start off with such strong words, lol. You'll just have to pardon my randomness.
This piece of crap has been disturbing a certain "part of my life" for two times now and it's getting on my nerves. Most of the time I'm cool with most of the things but once too many times will definitely hit my limit.

If there's a problem, we resolve it.
If there's a thorn under your skin, remove it.
It is that simple, and it is really so simple.

Anyway, consider this an update for March. Will update my blog again soon.
Hope my new design appeals to most of you, took me quite long to change it.
Good luck, have fun to all of you.

Rain.Friends.Food.Lion Dance

2011-02-09T18:13:00.005+08:00

Clouds should be given a limit to their capacity.
Not rain for 3 days non-stop giving a false sense of an impending Great Flood.

It's my second day commuting to work with mice and yes, I started my morning with Starbucks again!
Before I continue with this entry, I'll start off with some pictures of my breakfast =P

*wished Starbucks in m'sia sells bananas too*

*forgotten the name, but it was awesome!*

While making my way to Starbucks on that morning, I noticed there was a stage prepared for a lion dance performance and before long, while idling in Starbucks, I could hear that it has started.

I briefly left my laptop there and went to snap some pictures.

Hope it's not too blur because I'm just using an iPhone 3GS, it was raining, and there's a crowd.

*Dancing lions*

Soon after, it was time for lunch again. This time, mice brought me to pack the laksa that she told me about. After packing, we went back to her office to consume the spicy goodness =P

*creamy & spicy*

After lunch, I went for a little trailblazing around mice's office.

Wanted to get myself some clothes but couldn't find something which I like.

I did tried on a few clothes and camwhore a little, but no.. no pictures of that is gonna appear here.

Therefore, I only grabbed myself some Famous Amos cookies and headed back to Starbucks.

Oh yea, and I totally forgotten about the cookies till it was Saturday, lol.

*Exploring Shenton's Way, kinda*

After a few minutes of "exploration", I found myself being back in Starbucks, lol.

Am I a lousy explorer or what?

Can't blame me because it was still raining and it was almost time to meet up with mice too.

After meeting up with mice, we headed to Orchard road because we're meeting up with her friend there.

While waiting for her friend, we did a little shopping ;)

*Orchard at night*

About an hour or so, her friend finally arrived. He was late because he was searching for parking space.

Apparently, the public transport seems to be more convenient.

Anyway, after meeting up with the friend, we didn't stick around Orchard because we're going somewhere else for dinner.

Lol, I kinda pity her friend (JH from here on), because he just found a parking space and now we'll be leaving this place already.

We headed to this restaurant called Shokudo, it has the same concept as Marche.

The food was nice but we ordered mostly fast filling stuff such as rice and potatoes.. so, we didn't had the chance to try out other food. Which mice and JH both ordered the same stuff.. potatoes =.=" Lol!!

Anyway, it was a good experience. Hopefully, we'll get to come back here for round 2!

Leathery Amour, Anyone?

2011-02-08T21:07:00.001+08:00

When it comes to leather goodies, nothing comes close to Louis Vuitton.
They make and spell l.e.a.t.h.e.r the way it should be~

Let's not bore you further with my words. The pictures shall speak for itself *winks*

Isn't it wonderful~? So, leathery amour anyone? ;)

with Me, there is always Food!!

2011-02-04T15:13:00.005+08:00

Omg, it's Friday... and I've started to miss this place already. Actually, I've started to miss since Wednesday..
Looks like it's true that time really flies when you're having a good time.
For me, it just too fricking fast!

Continuing after my previous post. After the CSI exhibition, mice and I went straight home because the rain doesn't seem like it wants to stop anytime soon.
Once home, mice started preparing dinner. Which I'm very anxious to try it out! since she says that she doesn't know how to cook and only knows how to prepare a few dishes.
Of course, I helped out too with the Chinese-sausage skin peeling, the egg breaking, food tasting and supervising, so she doesn't not overdose the rice with soy sauce, Lol! *believe me, she tried to*

*before the rice was fried*

Nope, no picture(s) of the chef in action will be uploaded because I do not have a death wish =P
Later that night after the scrumptious dinner prepared by mice, we went to catch the Green Hornet.
It was kinda odd that they chose Seth Rogen to play the role of Green Hornet because he's more of a lame comedy guy to me. Overall, it was a good flick though.
After the movie, we went to grab some sinful delights from McCafe, which I think mine was more sinful due to the 8 pieces of marshmallow that came with it (upon my request)~ *we call it marshpotatoes btw*

*Yum! chocolates*

Well, that covers the weekend. Starting Monday, I commute to work with mice in order to experience the early morning bustle that she goes through with during workdays.
I couldn't comment much because I had her for company, all other external influences seems.. insignificant to me or rather I couldn't be bothered.

After seeing her off to her workplace, I went ahead to get myself comfortable at the Starbucks nearby and got myself a Starbucks breakfast set which is something called the Chicken Sausage, Omelette and Cheese. It comes with a tall freshly brewed coffee too.

*Good place to start a great day*

Without noticing the time, it was already time for lunch.
Headed to the nearby Korean Restaurant to get a seat first while waiting for mice to join me.
I ordered mine first and I have to apologize.. because I was too hungry~ before I knew it, I was done with my food before the thought of snapping a few pictures of it landed on my mind..
Mice ordered this delicious looking spicy Korean noodle which teased my appetite again.. Although I didn't went for second round..

*omg!! Spicy looking Korean noodles*

After lunch, I head back to Starbucks for round two. What can I say, it's tempting, and it's coffee!!

*Liquid happiness*

It was practically pouring the whole day and didn't really paid much attention at the time because the sky was kinda dark since morning.
However, I have to note that Singapore is indeed much more safer compared to Malaysia.
I could leave my laptop at Starbucks and go somewhere else to get some stuff and I do not feel worry at all. Hey, +1 to sense of security in Singapore!

Well, before long, it was time to meet up with mice for dinner and movie.
We went straight to Vivo to catch Season of the Witch.
Had a little time to spare before the movie, so we went to indulge ourselves with chocolate by the bald man at Max Brenner.

It was actually founded by two person called Max Ficthman and Oded Brenner. Although I have no idea which one of them is the bald one, or perhaps both of them are.
Still, they make good chocolate!! Therefore, it doesn't matter even both of them aren't bald~

*Chocolate by the bald men, instead of man?*

After the movie, we went straight home and called it a day.
It was great and will be writing up for Tuesday and Wednesday soon!
For now, enjoy your holidays and Happy Chinese New Year to all my readers! Cheers!

of Enjoyable moments and rainy days

2011-01-31T17:33:00.000+08:00

It's my third day here in Singapore for the Chinese New Year '11 week.
If you're wondering what's with the "...and rainy days", it is because it has been a non-stop downpour ever since the start of my trip. Like seriously, 3 days in a row.
However, the rain didn't dampen the experience of my trip here.

The first day was awesome and was greeted with lots of local foods to satisfy my huge appetite.
Met up with my friends for dinner and we really had it to the limit.
One of my friend mistakenly ordered 10 chicken wings when he was only told to order 4, lol! because 4 and 10 sounds almost the same in Chinese.

*Let the feast begin!!*

*Dawei and Kelson gh3ying for the camera*

The second day, I woke up to a rainy early morning.

Gotta wake up early because mice *dun ask, lol* and I are going to the CSI exhibition at Singapore Science Centre a.k.a Spore Science Centre =P

We had a very yummy breakfast at the bus interchange. It was a local food but very nice!!

After the CSI exhibition, we went home and cooked dinner, Lol! but it was nice, a little peppery perhaps~

After dinner, went online for an hour or two.

Went to catch the Green Hornet later that night. Good show, it was lame but hilarious!

Grabbed a drink after the movie and called it a day.

*Snapshots of Day 2*

Just a short update

2011-01-27T17:13:00.001+08:00

Feeling tired today after last night company's dinner.
Drank quite a few glasses of wine because my colleague kept asking me to drink.
Was not drunk but was damn sleepy.

This morning woke up with a head-load of migraine but tried to be okay.
Till now my head still hurts, and yes, I am still very sleepy.
Managed to pull myself though the day because of someone =)

Anyway, think I gotta stay back a little more to finish up my work.
Tomorrow is my last day before my long CNY break after all.
Can't wait for Saturday! Might feel sick right now but still can't help but feeling happy about Saturday.

Well, gonna sign off here. Hope you readers had a great week, cheers!

P.S. Expect lots of pictures of my holiday soon~ that is if I'm not too lazy to blog..

Singapore Real Estate Portal

2011-01-26T09:44:00.000+08:00

Recently, I've been made known of a new online web portal by Propwall.
It is a property and real estate website which helps users perform searches on properties based on their criteria such as location and price range.

This time around, Propwall have created a portal for searching Singapore Property. The web portal has a clean and neat layout which new users will find it easy to navigate around.

As you can see from the screenshot. There are several 'tabs' on the page which enables users to navigate easily around the portal.

The tabs above are as follows, Home, Singapore, Classifieds, Photos, Answers and Maps.
You'd probably already have an idea about what each tab does.

In the Singapore tab, you'll be able to see a list of properties which you're then able to filter to view only specific properties such as condominiums, house, office and etc. While in the Singapore tab, you're also able to filter out properties by Districts which are listed on the left sidebar.

The Classified tab, would allow you to view the properties for sale posted by registered advertisers with price stated and also the description of the property, such as the size of the property in square feet, number of rooms and etc.

Photos and Answer is basically not much to explain about. In the Photos tab, you're able to view various property pictures if available, while the Answer tab is for users to post any questions regarding certain property and the advertisers might answer if they sees it.

The Map function however, is an interesting tool. It will launch google map displaying the entire map of Singapore with miniature symbols of condominiums that represents available properties. In my opinion, the tool is very convenient and perhaps will hasten the search for properties if you already have a certain location in mind.

Also do note that more features are available if the user registers for an account. All in all, Propwall Singapore has designed a website which is user friendly and non-messy which to my experience, many other property websites failed to achieve.

2011, A Good Start Hopefully

2011-01-15T14:45:00.001+08:00

Apart from the ads, it's been a long time since I've wrote an entry for myself.
Well, to start where I dropped off, there were many pleasant and unpleasant events last year.
However, it's the past and now for a new beginning.

Last year during August, I've finally gotten over a huge obstacle of mine, which I am glad that it is finally over.
It was a problem which really burdened me a lot and made me unsure of myself.
Nevertheless, the burden is now gone. I felt really free and happy. It was a sense of relief I haven't felt in a very long time.

I realized my job performance improved after letting go of that burden. Went back to online gaming during my free time which I am glad because it paved a way back to my old friend Kev, and we picked up from there.

From then on, we've been meeting up for dinner and drinks which I am glad that I was given a chance to repair our friendship. Not to mention I had more times for my other three friends too, Daniel, Jeremy and Bosely.

Then apart from my friends, I made some new friends too.
They came down to Malaysia during Christmas to visit Kevin, me and also another friend, Mint.
It was a great Christmas, well to me at least, compared to my past Christmases.

2011's New Year was spectacular for me, like totally awesome. Well, not giving much details but all I can say is it was just really wonderful =) Work wise, I've just had my appraisal and gonna get my bonus this month. I hope it'll be a fat and juicy one =P *who doesn't hope for that huh?*

Definitely hoping that this year would be a great one, I'm sure everyone wishes that too. It's all in our hands, just have to work hard for it, Cheers All!!

Top Car Website in Malaysia

2010-11-08T16:57:00.000+08:00

Recently, I was looking around for cars.
Lol, not those looking around at cars but me wanting to buy a car.
It's about time for a 23 year old working guy to get a car of his own, don't you think?

I've been scouting around but some car dealers are quite stuck-up, if you know what I mean.
I walked into most showrooms and the salesman would give a me "can-you-afford-it" look.
Well, if they have that kind of attitude, then sorry, they will not have my business.
I mean, if I can't afford a car, why would I go and look for one, right?

So I was telling my friend about my car search experience and he told me, why the hassle?
He recommended me a website with a comprehensive Malaysia cars catalogue in it.
For me, it was so convenient. At least I do not have to face some crappy attitude.

This website contains over 1,400 cars which are available in Malaysia.
Like I've said, it is comprehensive and also a user-friendly website.
The website is simple with a categorized car manufacturer menu at the side to allow faster searching.
Users are also able to filter which area/state they are looking for cars in.

Additionally, people who wishes to sell off their car, they could register with them and post their car advertisement on the website.

For those who are looking to buy a car, like me.
If I would like to know more about the car, all I have to do is click on the "more info" link at the bottom right of the car which I find to my liking, and I would be brought to a page which contains a more detailed info of the selected car.

Here are a few screenshot of the website:

Note: Click on the picture to view a larger version.

The website even have a Facebook page to allow users who have a Facebook account to keep themselves up-to-date with the latest happenings.

Find Room Rentals in Malaysia

2010-03-26T08:58:00.001+08:00

There are many reasons for a person to want to find a room to rent. Whatever the reason may be, the good thing is there is plenty of rooms for rent here in Malaysia.

Personally, I’ve rented and still renting a place. I’ve rented a RM 700 bungalow room and now a RM 1200 condominium with my friend.

If you’re here to find room rental, then it’s the right place. Just click on the link. The website provides a lot of good and decent information for users to find their required room rental specification. There are nearly 30,000 rooms listed in there.

It has a list of most desired places which most people would like to rent a room at. All you need to do is click on the ‘Rooms’ tab and begin searching for your room specifications or you could just click on the links which are provided at the left of the screen in the ‘Rooms’ tab to filter which location you would desire. Is that simple!

If you’re from the outskirts of Malaysia, I would recommend to search central places like PJ or Damansara. If you’re a student, then obviously you would want to rent somewhere near your campus. Whatever your requirement is, the website is the place to start! Cheers all!

New Prospects

2010-03-07T21:50:00.000+08:00

It's been 3 months since I joined Panasonic and things had turned out to be great.

The workplace is really nice and the people really grows onto you.

Although I'm youngest looking and also the youngest in age there, but it doesn't posed as a barrier.

In fact, I made a really understanding friend there. I guess it's because we sit next to each other, lol!

My boss had been great. Just last month, I had eaten 6 different Secret Recipe cakes! It's because there were 4 colleagues who's birthday falled on January and 2 on February.

In these 2 months plus, my boss had spent us all for lunch 3 times, but I didn't join in for the first two because I had to excuse myself. The recently lunch was at D'Italiane @ Jaya 33. My boss spent this 3rd lunch was specifically for the team I'm in because we had performed well for the project which was assigned to us.

I've decided stay in this company for quite a long duration because unlike my previous company, this company actually states the ranks which I could be promoted to. It's like, they've planned and paved the way for me. I just have to work for it. Furthermore, I have totally zero complain about the wage which I'm getting now. If I abide by my plan right since the start of this month, I may be getting 2 iPhones 3GS by May and also my car by October or November when my friend comes back from Singapore since I'm going to buy through his friend's dad.

Apart from some hiccups which occured recently, it has been a great year for me. Cheers!!

[ASP.NET] [C#] Switching MasterPage Dynamically

2010-03-02T11:20:00.000+08:00

Have you ever wanted to changed a MasterPage of an ASPX webpage dynamically when your website is running? Well, I’ve recently encountered this problem myself too and found a solution to it. So without further ado, I present the solution to you!

First go to your code-behind page of the .aspx page which you wish to have its MasterPage changed dynamically. Let’s say for example, you want your example01.aspx to change its MasterPage dynamically, you have to open the example01.aspx.cs page.

Ok here’s the step-by-step walkthrough.

Step 01:

Enter the following code below at anywhere in the public partial class section

Code:
protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventsArgs e)
{

}

Explanation:

The MasterPage needs to be defined before the .aspx page is initialized. In simpler terms, without the MasterPage predefined before the .aspx initialized, the .aspx page have no where to be loaded to, because webpages of website which utilizes MasterPage normally and most certainly requires a ContentPlaceHolder for it to be loaded into.

Step 02:

Enter the following code in the Page_PreInit body

Code:

MasterPageFile = “YourMasterPage.Master”;

Step 03 (optional):

Incorporate conditions with the code. What’s the point of changing MasterPage dynamically if there’s no conditions in the first place, right? The fact that we want to dynamically switch MasterPages, there has to be a condition. Therefore, incorporate them!

In my case, I determine the user type. If the user who logs in is an admin for example, I will display a MasterPage for admins, if its a user, I’ll display a MasterPage for users.

The code should look something like this:

protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     string redirect_from = ((string)Request.QueryString["redirectedfrom"]);

     if (redirect_from == "staff")
     {
          MasterPageFile = "~/MasterPage/StaffMaster.master";
    }
    else
    {
          MasterPageFile = "~/MasterPage/AdminMaster.Master";
    }
}

The code above shows the way I incorporated conditions to the code which triggers it to switch MasterPage if a certain user type logs in. If you’re wondering what’s with the “~/MasterPage/”, it is because I stored all my pages in their respective folders and my MasterPages are stored in a folder named MasterPage.

Safe trip friend!

2010-02-09T09:09:00.000+08:00

This blog entry is dedicated to my friend and my role model in programming, In Ming. He is going abroad to further his studies in a few days time and I would like to wish him to have a safe trip there.

We met during college. In the start we weren’t really friends, maybe just acquaintances. However, as the course of our study progress, we became familiar with each other’s circle of friends and started to get to know each other better. At first, I didn’t know he’s interested in programming until one of the subject’s assignment brought me to the knowledge of it.

From then on, whenever I had a ‘coding-block’, I would consult him and discuss the matter and he never fails to point out what I am doing wrong. Then we attended a Java seminar together at KLCC and I got to know him a little better. I remember during our ride in the LRT heading towards KLCC in the morning we kept discussing about what program that has not exist yet that would make a revolution if it was created. Talks like this really feels good. You have a friend of similar interest and you talk about the possibilities, it really motivates you in that field of interest you’re sharing.

After graduating from college, I started working due to certain shits that happened, while he went on with his degree. I remember there was one time where I had this really huge ‘coding-block’ and I had to consult him. We met up at Starbucks SS2 and we discussed for hours and he found a solution. I was astonished, I kept reading and re-reading his codes because the solution was rather complicated, but most of all, I’ve learnt something new. Hence, I call him my teacher, lol.

He told me that he’s going abroad to further his studies for 1 year or maybe more than 2 years if he’s doing masters there. When it is possible, I hope I could visit him there and catch up. It’s really hard to find a friend with similar interest such as programming, so I’ll do my best to keep in touch. Take care man! and have a safe trip!!

Petaling Jaya - Top Serviced Apartments

2010-01-27T19:05:00.001+08:00

Kuala Lumpur, a -city that never sleeps-, and literally next to it is a -city that rarely rests-, Petaling Jaya!
Petaling Jaya is a great place to live it apart from Kuala Lumpur. If fact, for those who loves nature more than concrete jungle, it is meant for you. It's location is central and convenient! because it is right next to KL!

There are tons of Shopping malls in Petaling Jaya and my very own favorite category apart from shopping, is -food-!!

You would definitely want to live in PJ if given an opportunity, I know I would!
Wait.. in fact, I am! and it's been great. If you hadn't found a place to live in PJ yet, then this is the right time for you because there are a few great serviced apartments which are located here in PJ. Furthermore, the places which I'm going to recommend are located really close to a cluster of great Shopping malls. The good news is, you'll be able to witness brilliant fireworks during special occasions right off your window or balcony without needing to go through all the traffic!

Here are some of the top serviced apartments here in PJ, Kota Damansara to be exact!
1) Ritze Perdana
2) Ritze Perdana 2
3) Metropolitan Square
4) Neo Damansara
5) 1 Bukit Utama

If you would like to browse more great places by your own, I recommend you to visit this website: http://www.propwall.my/petaling_jaya

[ASP.NET][C#] ASP page loading twice

2010-01-27T18:45:00.001+08:00

Reason behind this post is because I would like to document all the problems I had encountered and the solution for my and all visitor's convenience in the possible future.

As the titled states; I've recently, to be exact, 2 days back, encountered this strange phenomenon whereby my asp page loads twice when I click on the button, asp:imageButton to be exact. I'm working with this search function you see. I have to pass a value from this page, back to this page. Don't get it?

Let's say, I have a webpage called report.aspx. There's a search function inside, and after the user entered a value, the user has to click on a button to pass that value for a search, right? yea, so, I stored the value using Session, as I thought it was the most convenient and efficient way to pass a value from report.aspx back to report.aspx because the page has to be posted back in order to fire off the next function.

However, as convenient as it may seemed to be, the downside of Session is that it stores in two places at the same time; the server side and the client side. Hence, the page loads twice.

Advance explanation: the first click of the button stores the Session on the Server side but not the client side. Therefore, it only updates the Server side and not the Client side. Which means, the user has to click on the button twice then only the user could view the updated page with the search result.

Solution:
Dispose the use of Session and replace it with QueryString. Problem solved.
I'll assume that everyone who are reading this knows how to work a QueryString. If you have any inquiries or need a pointer, feel free to drop me a comment and I'll get back to you. Cheers all!!

Life Check

2010-01-09T20:53:00.000+08:00

We’re another year older and perhaps another year wiser. Why wiser? because everyday is a new experience. Even reading a newspaper full of government crap is something new. If we read about something new each day for a year, it means we’ve learnt 365 new stuffs.

Even if we encountered difficult situations, it is still something new, in a way.

“When written in Chinese, the word ‘crisis’ is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.” – John Fitzgerald Kennedy

I have learnt not much but not too little either. Leastwise I’ve learnt a tiny bit about the people around me, be it colleagues, friends or the crappy P1 WiMAX customer service officer.

To many people, New Year is just an excuse to fabricate a less-than-likely-to-be-achieved resolution (plentiful will never be achieved, fact). On the other hand, New Year to me is a new job prospect, with a different position, company, colleagues, experience, environment and most importantly salary figure – AND – not forgetting, knowledge!

Ironically, even though most New Year resolution is most likely never to be achieved but here I wish to make a resolution to mend dented relationships, be it family, friends or love. No man is an island. Therefore, it’s good to ensure that your relationship with the people you care are well nurtured =) I guess that’s all for now. Happy New Year all, cheers!

10 most favorable KLCC properties

2009-12-01T09:02:00.001+08:00

I’ve been browsing around PropWall these days to have a look at our Malaysia’s advances in architectural design. Compared to what we have 2 to 3 years ago, the design certainly acquired a more contemporary sense. Here I have chosen 10 KLCC properties which I favor:-

1) The Binjai

2) The Troika

3) Pavilion Residences

4) Marc Service Residence

5) K Residence

6) Cendana

7) U-Thant Residence

8) Crown Regency

9) Panorama

10) Setia Sky Residences

You must have a look at it. Just one look and it really instills the desire to live in such residence. Treat your eyes and mind to the beauty of architectural designs at KLCC Properties.

The Panorama and Setia Sky Residences are definitely a property worth waiting for. The design certainly defines contemporary well with a touch of sleek to it. It’s always been my dream to one day live in a home of such modernity. Cheers!

Cognizant

2009-11-23T10:18:00.001+08:00

2012, a graphic intensive movie which with good sound system will leave a good dose of after-effect of deep thought in you. After the movie or rather, after most End-of-World themed movies, I would always wonder which date will the End-of-Days fall on. It’ll be really ironic if it falls on 1st of January.

By the way, 2012 has nothing to do with environmental pollution or stuff like that, it is caused by an external factor called the ‘largest solar flare in human history’ which causes a domino effect. First, is the core of the Earth heating up like oven, then caused the slow melting of the Earth’s crust from within, which triggers the crust to be ‘soft’ and hence, collapse.

In layman term, take a cookie (Earth’s crust), place it flat afloat in hot milk (Earth’s core/mantle layer) which was initially just a warm milk, then you’ll see the cookie crumble =)

*Solar Flare*

courtesy of www.nasa.gov

I like to observe, literally. Observing always trigger thoughts to circulate in my mind. It intrigues me to observe the behavior and reaction of the people who are within my range of sight.

Every morning, I would leave my condo with my friend when he drops me to work. I would always take notice of the foreign workers who will always be walking alongside of the sidewalk to wherever their destination is. I would look at the traffic policemen, the drivers who are traversing from point A to point B, listen the radio casts who are talking. At the end of all that thinking, I know that all of us are –just people- insignificantly small in the eyes of our world leaders. To them, we’re just like seeds used to sow their fragrant economy.

The only part which I think is real in most 2012-like movies, is the part where if the End-of-Days is here and there’s an –Ark- we wouldn’t be worthy enough to be saved because we’re no one special and as said, insignificant. Those who will be included for salvation are the Top Notch in their fields such as Astrophysicists, Cosmologist, Biochemist and etc etc, and I don’t mean sports.

Foreseeable, are those illiterate group of people will be those running around shouting retarded remarks, creating chaos and reaping whatever that is within their reach. Ignorant who are easily fooled by government composed news will meet their makers too. Sad to say, but if sufficient common sense if applied, you’ll know what I mean.

It’s a sad scenario. However, if you’re non-religious, the most practical way to salvation is to be an Ace in your field and hope the government will include you in whichever self-preservation plan they’ve cooked up. On the other hand, if you’re religious, then all you have to do is believe in your Savior.

Xenogears Money Hack

2009-11-16T11:45:00.011+08:00

To all Xenogears fans.
This my guide to hack Xenogears on PSX PC Emulator ONLY.
First you'll need Cheat Engine: Cheat Engine 5.5

This will spoil the whole point of the game. However, to those who've completed this game countless times and just want to have some fun without the hassle of earning G in Xenogears, like me =). Then this cheat is catered for you.

1.0) First save the game using the memory cube (NOTE: saving using gamestate could corrupt the game)
1.1) Go to the nearest shop in the game and don't do anything.

2.0) Start Cheat Engine and search for the PSX Emulator process (e.g. I'm using ePSXe, so search for ePSXe.exe).

2.1) Press the 'Square' button to check how much G you have currently.
2.2) Pull up Cheat Engine, then enter the amount into the 'Value' box.
2.3) Change 'Value Type' to 'All (Byte to Double)'.
2.4) Tick 'Also scan read-only memory'.
2.5) Then click 'First Scan'.

3.0) You'll get lots of addresses at the left side panel.

3.1) Now, return to game, talk to the shopkeeper and buy something to change the current G value you have.
3.2) Return to Cheat Engine, enter the new G value into the 'Value' textbox.
3.3) Then click on 'Next Scan'.

4.0) You'll then see 3 obvious addresses of the amount of G you have.
4.1) Double-click on the 3 address to move them to the panel below.
4.2) Then mouse your mouse on the 'value' section of the address below, double-click it.
4.3) Enter a few 9's in the textbox to raise the value, click 'OK'.
4.4) Now return to the game, press 'Square' again to open the character windows. Your amount of G will then change to the new value.

- Don't close Cheat Engine, just minimize it. When your G is low, just repeat steps 4.2 to 4.4.

Hope you've found my guide useful. Although this is not as good as Gameshark for Emulator but at least it still gives you enough G to buy stuff and replenish it =) Cheers!!

Going with the flow

2009-11-09T17:23:00.000+08:00

I’ve come to a point where I think it is best for me to leave certain aspects of my life to just follow the flow of nature and let it take it’s own course.

I’m tired of having to teach certain person about attitude and behavior. It is without a doubt that making effort to teach something to a person who doesn’t want to listen or learn is indeed futile. Additionally, I’ll eventually stress myself because I would normally keep trying if I’m being opposed to.

However, I cannot deny the fact that it is useless trying any further because I know and it is obvious that the person I used to be happy with has changed and will not turn back...

Like the old saying goes “What is meant to be, will be”. I shall not debate or argue any further.

Property @ PropWall

2009-11-03T09:54:00.001+08:00

I recalled when I was moving out with my friend and we had to search for a property with reasonable price at the same time we wanted to know what’s in for that property, such as facilities, sq. feet, strategic review and people’s opinion.

Most of the time, we would just get the price and a contact number. Which is very limited indeed and as such, we had to allocate a time to travel and search for that place just to have a look at the location, facilities, specs and the type of people who lives there. It is without a doubt a hassle for us as both of us are full-time office workers *ahem, profe-cough-sion-cough-nal* ;-)

I do remember going to websites such as iProperty. Well, it does provide me with certain information and not to say that they aren’t good but I find it not-so-detailed. Example, say I do a search for Dua Residency @ KLCC on this property website. All they provide is, a picture, a brief 1 to 2 paragraph description, short property details and a map *wow, that’s helpful @@*. Honestly… looking at the way they display the description below is more than enough reason for me to redirect myself away from it *so messy*.

However, I’ve came to know about this Malaysia property website called PropWall. The first thing I took notice when I entered the website, is the layout. It is simple, organized and most importantly not confusing @@. The links are well categorized as well which they designed it to be tab-style.

When I search for the same property, Dua Residency @ KLCC, PropWall provides the details to a greater extent, and I do mean greater! As such, PropWall gives me the impression that it ensures the users who visits the website will be well informed of the property which they are searching for.

For the same property which I’ve searched on iProperty, in PropWall, I get a four paragraph description, property details, size in sq. feet for all the type of layouts they have, facilities, a detailed 10 paragraph analysis on how strategic the location is, a classified section and a map. I don’t even need to call the agent ==” or even think of travelling there.

Have a look at Dua Residency @ PropWall for yourself.

If you’re looking for properties and you want a descriptive detail of the property, I suggest you first and foremost head to PropWall instead of wasting your time Google-ing away.

P1 WiMax Hits The Wall

2009-10-30T00:16:00.013+08:00

It’s been a long time this issue has been lingering in my mind. I’ve been wanting to post a rant about P1, one of our Malaysia’s leading WiMAX provider.
If you haven’t already read my first rant about P1, then I suggest you do. Here’s the link: P1 WiMax
So now, let’s add some salt to the already wounded impression of P1. As I’ve stated in my first rant, during the launch of P1 WiMAX, they gave you a trial period of 2 weeks for us to test out their connection for no fees at all.
It was oh-so-blazing-omgwtfbbq-fast during those 2 weeks even though the signal color was red, when I finally gave the 1-year contract a shot, I regretted it almost immediately. Why? because after the trial period expired, the connection fell from ‘flying-colors’ to a deplorable state of connection which practically spelled out ‘you’re fucked’.
I’ve just tested the packet loss, ping, jitter and speed on Pingtest.net & Speedtest.net, and the result prove that I’ve been chiseled, yup. The results speaks for itself:

Initial test: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Second test: Manila, Philippines

Third test: Houston, United States
*Houston, we have a problem!* it doesn't make any sense. Test result which goes all the way to U.S. is better than local's and Philippines's result.

Last test: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The fluctuation must be immense.

Speed test: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Ensuing test confirmed that P1 has earned itself a huge F for FAILURE on Pingtest.net.
My verdict: Stick to cabled line such as Streamyx for Malaysia. I know Streamyx, to most, is synonymous with ‘Lousy’. However, considering the options, stability and affordability, it is much better than P1 which is proven to be synonymous with ‘Failure’. Since P1 is promoting their "Cut/Potong Now" campaign, I totally agree to it! Cut away from P1 and get a better service provider! because P1 WiMAX sucks!!
Hope you’ve enjoyed my review and if you’re someone who happened to stumble upon this entry while ‘Googling’ for P1 review before getting one yourself, then I hope this entry had gave you an insight and I strongly suggest you go for Streamyx or you could try the new Amax, at least its much cheaper than P1. Cheers!

Computer Havoc

2009-10-13T19:39:00.004+08:00

Recently I think I’m having a bad luck with computers.

Last week, my laptop were being ‘invaded’ by waves of Blue Screen of Death (BSoD from here on).

I can’t seem to find out the caused of it because it was popping out all the various BSoD, each with a different message.

Its not the two BSoD above, there are more. Above is just an example.

In my search of the caused of the BSoD, I looked into the event viewer and found there’s this error with DCOM. So, I did all I could to disable the relevant component, uninstalled some programs I’ve recently installed and even personally search through the registry to delete certain keys which the uninstalled programs left behind.

However, to no avail, the BSoD are still appearing. Therefore, my friends told me that it could also mean hardware problems and the probable cause is the RAM ==”

True enough, after some process of probability elimination. It was really the RAM… to add salt to the wound, my laptop has two RAM, one piece is 256 and the other is a 1GB RAM.

I was hoping it was the 256MB RAM that is faulty but… due to my shitty luck, it was the 1GB RAM that has to be taken out T_T *sobs*

The worst thing was, I thought it was a virus before finding out that it is really the RAM that’s causing the problem. So, I stupidly reformatted my laptop and reinstalled Windows ==”

After my laptop ordeal, I thought it was over… that I don’t have to face computer problems again… BUT… this week, my office PC that I am using for my programming work the hard drive K.O-ed on me T_T *sobs* how sad…

Therefore, I had to backup my office’s stupid hard drive which crashes like every 10 minutes or so, and face the screen of formatting PC and Windows reinstallation again…

What sucks is that there are so many programs and tools to reinstall… which used up two working days. Actually, I’m partially happy too because I don’t have to do any work during these two days and just reinstalling programs.

After I had Windows installed, I was surfing the web while reinstalling other stuff =P Well, I hope that you readers will have better lucks with computers =) Cheers!!

2009-10-05T12:53:00.000+08:00

Recently, I’ve joined the 7-Eleven’s name the slurpee mascot contest without hoping that I’ll win, because I never had luck with contests before.

Contestant are allowed to enter as many entries as possible and I’ve only entered once.

However, it came to my notice that Tyson has suffered from some injuries and the concert have to be postponed =( *bummer*

Well, best wishes to Tyson and hopefully he recovers and is able to perform soon!! Cheers!!

Paranormal Activity – Demand It!!

2009-10-05T12:52:00.000+08:00

Recently, I’ve taken notice about this movie called Paranormal Activities and I’ve gotten really hyped about it. However, the catch is, they will only screen the movie in your city by demand.

Therefore, here I call for your aid to help me demand this movie to be screened in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia or even in your city!! Help me spread the word and demand for it =) Cheers!!

Future Tech

2009-09-14T12:54:00.004+08:00

Dear readers,

Here I unveil the PS4!!

The Playstation 4 concept was inspired by the massive popularity of its previous versions, while featuring much more functionalities than any other versions of playstation users have encountered.

The first notable feature is the cool, transparent appearance of both the joysticks and the main unit. The transparent area of both elements comprises touch buttons for operating the device and the glossy black round compartment is to place the discs of your choice.

Playstation 4 will give the gamer a unique cable-free gaming experience with its Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity. Moreover, the transparent display of the main unit can show thumbnails of different part of a disc and allow the user to select a part by simply touching the respective thumbnail.

Next, I present you an effing cool design concept by BMW for its future vehicles!!

The Vision EfficientDynamics is a concept vehicle for future by BMW which is a low carbon hybrid supercar aiming to achieve the premium end of the auto market with its fuel-efficient design. A three-cylinder turbodiesel engine is empowering this vehicle supported by a couple of electric motors.

This car can go 0-100 kilometers per hour in just 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 250 kmph and consumes 3.76 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers. It features an electric mode for day to day use that can be charged through plug-in module.

The vehicle stores the power it lithium polymer cells, allowing it to drive for roughly 50km on a single charge, which can be extended through its regenerative breaking system.

Still not salivating yet? This should do the trick!!

Honda RA-X is the latest concept sportscar inspired by the beginning of motorsport competition during the 60s and hence was named as RA similar with the first F1 cars in distinctive white and yellow colors. This two-seater concept car comprises MR engine and back transmission with a capacity of over 350 hp, while the position of the exhaust pipes positively reminds the RA300 F1.

The design features innovative smooth crossing lines in the surface that forms a theoretical X. The car’s engine can be seen through a glass and predominates at the back side of the engine vent with optical technology-led groups forming a triangular shape. The inlets are merged with optical groups on the front and the dimensions of the car are: length 4050 x height 1163 x 1940 Wide.

If you're wondering where's the part for mobile phone lovers, here it is:

Finnish handset giant Nokia gave the industry a glimpse of the future on Monday, when it unveiled a shape changing mobile devices concept based on nanotechnology.

Morph, a joint nanotechnology concept developed by Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge, has gone on display as part of the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The concept demonstrates how future mobile devices might be stretchable and flexible, allowing the user to transform the gadget into radically different shapes.

Physiotherapist

2009-09-08T15:09:00.001+08:00

Physio was an intelligent boy. After doing a physiotherapy course abroad for 3 years, he returned home and set up a clinic in his hometown. He asked a designer to make a new name plate to be hung on the wall outside the clinic.

The next morning, when he went to his clinic, he was pleased to find that the name plate was already put up. But he was greatly annoyed by the wordings on the plate:TUKANG URUT.

He went to the designer and took him to task. "How can you insult my profession? 'Tukang Urut' means masseur in Malay.

I am a physiotherapist and not a masseur! Make sure you change the name right now! And see that the word is spelt correctly!" Physio said angrily.The designer apologized and promised to make the change immediately.

Without further delay, he proceed to change the name but found that the word "physiotherapist' was too long. So he broke it up into three words to make it easier to read.

The next morning, Physio hit the roof when he saw the new name. On the name plate were written : PHYSIO THE RAPIST

Vision of the Future

2009-09-05T13:21:00.005+08:00

After watching a video by Microsoft regarding their
vision for the future. It got me pumped and reassured that
my career as a programmer is gonna take me a long way into the future.

This is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1haMQxyhjwk

From what used to be pixellated mainframe computers which uses
punch cards for input, it slowly evolved into keyboards which is
what we are using now today which enables me to easily share
this entry with the world! and soon, it will be a more advanced
touch sensitive surfaces.

*The Surface*

I believe, programming will be a career which will never extinct.
It is what drives us into the future.
The world now is basically computerized.
All businesses are practically utilizing the power harnessed from computers
to maximize efficiency and productivity.
No more the old paperworks and messy file cabinets.

*The old mainframe*

It's all now in Words document and system folders.
Think about it, everything we do now, computer plays a huge role in it.
The future is so exciting! Don't you think so? Cheers!

Resident Evil Chronology of Events

2009-08-17T01:00:00.006+08:00

Thanks to Neoseeker for this Timeline.

For a more stylish version, visit Project Umbrella. However, it is incomplete and still in the process of updating.

The Timeline:

Late 18th-Early 19th century: English noblewoman Veronica Ashford founded the
Ashford family.

Sometime in 1939: James Marcus graduates from university.

Late 1940's (estimate, exact date unknown): Brian Irons is born.

1950 (estimate, exact date unknown): English noblemen Ozwell E. Spencer and
Edward Ashford (father of Alexander, grandfather of Alfred and Alexia) discover
the 'Mother Virus.'

1953: Kenneth Sullivan is born.

1957: Enrico Marini is born.

1960: Barry Burton and Albert Wesker are born.

Construction of Raccoon City begins at an undisclosed location in the American
Midwest (If I was doing the story, the ideal place for the location of Raccoon
City would possibly be Colorado, but then again, that's my opinion).

1961: Michael Warren, the future mayor of Raccoon City, arrives as an engineer.
He's the main person responsible for the city's electrical and cable car
systems.

1962: William Birkin is born.

1963: Brad 'Chickenheart' Vickers is born in Delucia (see Brad's Note--N64
version of Resident Evil).

Lord Ozwell Spencer begins construction on a mansion in the Raccoon Forest near
Raccoon City. The mansion is designed by a famous New York architect by the
name of George Trevor. The mansion takes five years to be built. The mansion
also has many secrets that only Spencer and Trevor know about.

1967, Friday, November 10: Lord Spencer invites Jessica Trevor and Lisa Trevor
(wife and daughter of George Trevor) to the nearly-completed Spencer Mansion
while George Trevor is away on business. Lisa plays the piano for the host, who
approves. Several days later, Lisa and Jessica Trevor disappear.

Monday, November 13: Trevor arrives three days later, and is notified by Lord
Spencer that his wife and daughter had gone off to visit an ailing relative.
Trevor doesn't give it a single thought, since he is reveling in his work.

Tuesday, November 14: While touring the mansion with Lord Spencer, he tells
Trevor about his plans to establish a major medical and pharmaceutical
conglomerate called the Umbrella Corporation. The mansion itself will be used
as a resort for Umbrella personnel.

Saturday, November 18: Four days later, Trevor begins to worry about his
family's whereabouts, not to mention upset because he can't find a telephone in
the mansion. While in the courtyard, he finds a tunnel (the one that leads to
the labs) and figures out that this was not in his plans. Before he could
investigate further, several security guards appear and 'escort' Trevor from
the courtyard, saying that he should never be alone.

Monday, November 20: Instead of the shotgun that his wife had given Lord
Spencer for his birthday, Trevor finds its rusted, broken counterpart in its
place. Aside from that, he becomes troubled when he can't reach his family. He
notifies Lord Spencer that he plans to join them the next day, and Spencer
tells him not to worry about it, since he says that Trevor will be seeing them
soon.

Tuesday, November 21: Trevor packs his bags and prepares to leave. Before he
can, however he is asked to come to the reception room (in other words, it's
the art room with the 'Cradle to Grave' puzzle), and is escorted there by one
of the courtyard guards. The courtyard guard notifies Trevor that his family is
dead and knocks him out with a sedative agent.

Friday, November 24: Four days has passed since Trevor was imprisoned within
the confines of the mansion. One of the guards who bring him food tells him
that he has to be silenced so that Lord Spencer only knows the mansion’s
secrets.

Monday, November 27: Trevor then escapes by means of a secret route he has
designed. He is locked out of the mansion's many rooms, since he does not have
any of the keys.

Tuesday, November 28: Trevor comes across one of the mansion's experiments,
which is a giant plant.

Thursday, November 30: Trevor discovers the underground laboratory through the
caves. He ponders of his wife and his daughter's fate and vows to escape.

1967, Tuesday, December 5: Trevor is still trapped within the mansion. Worse
yet, he is becoming dehydrated and hasn't eaten in several days.

The Special Tactics and Rescue Squad is established in New York City as a means
to counter occult terrorism.

Thursday, December 7: The Death of George Trevor. Trevor reaches a dead end. He
finds a tombstone with his name on it and discovers that it was all Spencer's
intention for him to reach his own grave. Begging forgiveness to his wife and
daughter, Trevor dies. Jessica Trevor is also killed and Lisa Trevor becomes
Umbrella's chief experiment for the next 30 years.

1967-1968: The Umbrella Corporation is established by Edward Ashford and Ozwell
Spencer as a front for their 'Mother Virus' research. In time, it becomes the
largest medical and pharmaceutical conglomerate in the world.

1968: Several cable cars are imported from Europe and are installed in Raccoon
City.

1970: Morpheus D. Duvall is born.

Edward Ashford's son Alexander (the future Nosferatu) discredits the Ashford
family by killing his father, thus putting complete control of Umbrella into
Spencer's hands. He then builds a research facility inside a mining post in the
frozen wastelands of the Antarctic so he can work on restoring back his
family's tarnished honor. Within the facility, there is also a mansion, which
is modeled after the Spencer Mansion back in Raccoon City.

1971: Joseph Frost is born.

Alexander discovers the gene that controls a human being's intelligence. He
takes a DNA sample from the remains of Veronica Ashford and extracts the
intelligence gene from her DNA. He implants the tampered genes inside the egg
of a surrogate mother and as a result, the twins Alfred and Alexia Ashford are
born.

1972: Billy Coen is born.

1973: Christopher Redfield is born.

1975: Jillian Valentine, Richard Aiken and Bruce McGivern are born.

Mother Virus. He gives it the codename 'Progenitor.'

1976, Tuesday, March 23: James Marcus hears from Lord Spencer that he is
starting a company which will soon be Umbrella. Marcus could care less, just as
long as he can continue his research.

1976, Thursday, August 19: Lord Spencer asks James Marcus--who notices a change
of attitude in Spencer--to run the Arklay training facility. Marcus accepts,
mainly because it allows him to explore the 'Progenitor' virus.

1976, Tuesday, November 30: James Marcus is at odds with Lord Spencer, who sees
'Progenitor' only as a financial opportunity. Marcus realizes that it could
means trouble for his research if Spencer's influence begins to grow and
realizes that the only way to fortify his position is by developing
'Progenitor.'

1977, Monday, September 19: Umbrella researcher James Marcus combines the
'Mother Virus,' now codenamed 'Progenitor' by both Spencer and the late Edward
Ashford with mutated leech DNA to create the Tyrant-virus, or T-virus for short.

1977, Sunday, October 23: James Marcus is frustrated because he can't make any
progress on the T-virus by experimenting on rodents. He realizes that he needs
humans for a more suitable experiments.

experiments. He vows that whoever discovers his secrets, that they will become
guniea pigs in his research.

1978, Friday, January 13: James Marcus's leeches--according to him--are ready.
'Those of low intellgence, they will never have the privilege of tasting this
sense of joy and satisfaction!' He now has an oppotunity to make a move for
power against Spencer.

1978, Saturday, Febuary 11: James Marcus finds that someone has been screwing
around with the lab's entrance. He decides to put Umbrella rookies Albert
Wesker and William Birkin on the case, seeing as he can only teust those two.
He also debates on whether or not to reveal the T-virus at the next Umbrella
directors' meeting.

Fongling, Leon Scott Kennedy and Carlos Oliveira are born.

1978, Saturday, July 29: Eighteen-year-old Albert Wesker and sixteen-year-old
William Birkin are reassigned to the Spencer mansion as researchers by Ozwell
Spencer himself.

1978, Febuary 3: James Marcus begins to keep a log based on his experimentation
on his leeches. He injects the T-virus into four of his leeches. He documents
that 'their will to survive leads them first to
parasitism and predation, then they breed and mulitply. Such single minded
biology makes them attractive candidates for bioweapons research. Afterwards,
no major changes observed.'

Febuary 10: Seven days passed since Marcus injected the T-virus in the leeches.
Marcus notes the leeches' rapid growth and the increase in their numbers. He
also notes that they resort to cannibalism, due to their 'ravenous appetites.'

1978, March 7: Marcus documents that when live food was brought to the leeches,
'but lost half when the live food fought back.' He also notes that they are
'beginning to exhibit group attack behavior,' and that they are stopping their
cannibalism methods.

1978, April 22: Marcus notices that his leeches no longer act on their own, but
rather than as a unit. They also eat anything that Marcus gives them.

April 30: When an Umbrella emplyee stumbles in on Marcus' experiments, Marcus
begins to wonder if hummans can be use as a food source.

complains about his employees' worth. However, he sees potential in both
William Birkin and Albert Wesker.

something about them that makes the both of them shady.

1978, October 7: The assistant director gets a call from Director Marcus,
ordering him to create a rivalry between Wesker and Birkin. The director is
surprised that Marcus has shown interest in something other than his research,
but promises to 'have them tearing at each other's throats.'

1979: Claire Redfield is born.

1980: Rebecca Chambers is born.

1981: Kid genius Alexia Ashford graduates from university (probably Oxford),

was hidden behind the secret door. There he finds out about the circumstances
regarding his and Alexia's birth. As a result of this, the twins grow to hate
their father.

1983, Thursday, March 3: Alexia Ashford creates a new virus by combining the
T-virus with an ancient virus found within the remains of a queen ant. In honor
of the founder of the Ashford family, Alexia names the new virus T-Veronica.
Using their own father as a test subject, the twins inject the T-Veronica virus
into Alexander, making sure that the family butler doesn't wise up to their
scheming.

1983, Thursday, March 3-Friday, April 22: The T-Veronica Virus mutates
Alexander into a monster that emits toxic gases that not even the Blue Herbs
cannot cure. As a result of the failed experiment, Alfred and Alexia imprison
Alexander--now Nosferatu--deep within the Antarctic facility.

1983, May: Alexia Ashford injects the T-Veronica virus into herself and places
herself in cryogenic suspension in order for her body to co-exist with the
virus. She leaves her brother to guard her for the next 15 years. The official
story is that Alexia Ashford was killed in a laboratory accident.

Sometime in 1995: Chris Redfield (by my theory) graduates from the Air Force
Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado and is commissioned as an officer in the
United States Air Force. He serves under Colonel William Guile (not true in
this case, but sounds good. Hey, it's Capcom, so anything's possible...)
Sometime later, he gets kicked out of the Air Force, possibly for
insubordination (Fanfiction websites and the Wildstorm Comics state that Chris
was booted out of the Air Force for going back for a fallen comrade, thus
disobeying his orders).

the operator promises to himself that if he dies, then he shall die as a human.

Tuesday, June 24: The operator is at odds with Morpheus Duvall, the supervisor
of the facility. 'He must pay more attention to worker health management and
biological weapons that anyone I have ever met.' He wants to leave, but for
some odd reason, he can't move.

Sometime between 1998 and 2000 (Exact date unknown): Fongling arrests her
brother, who was a member of a democratic movement in China and turns him over
to her superiors, who order her brother to be executed in the same day.

1998, early March: A mercenary who was on death row for a crime he did not
commit is granted a second chance at life. Looks like Umbrella needs a few good

1998, May: Child genius and college graduate Rebecca Chambers is the
newest--and youngest--member of the Raccoon S.T.A.R.S. at the age of eighteen.
She is placed as a member of Bravo Team under Captain Enrico Marini as a field
medic and biochemist.

Saturday, May 9: A keeper at the Spencer Mansion plays poker with Scott, a
security guard, Steve, another researcher, and Alias, another staff member. The
keeper thinks that Steve was cheating, since he was the big winner. 'Scumbag.'

Sunday, May 10: The keeper at the mansion lab is given a new type of creature
to look after. To him, it looks like a skinless gorilla (the Eliminators from
Resident Evil 0. Anyone else have a reasonable explanation?) Feeding
instructions: LIVE animals.

At the R.P.D. Irons' secretary notices her boss drooling over another cheesy
painting, which is a naked woman being hanged. Her suspicions arise then she
finds out that the painting costs more than the Chief can afford.

Monday, May 11: The supposedly deceased (and rejuvenated) James Marcus spills
the T-virus over Spencer Mansion as the first phase of his revenge plot against
Umbrella.

The keeper is awakened by Scott the guard early in the morning and is told to
wear a biohazard suit. If not, he could be infected with the T-Virus.

disposal system is active, but not completely stable.

Friday, May 15: The keeper is forbidden to leave the Spencer Mansion when he
tries to see his girlfriend, nor he can't make a phone call, since all the
phones have been ripped from their outlets.

Saturday, May 16: The plant at Point 42 begins to grow at a geometric rate, due
to the chemicals (and the T-virus) in the water from the shattered tank.

The keeper hears that one of the researchers that had tried to escape was shot
and killed by the guards. The keeper goes ballistic when a chunk of rotten
flesh falls off his arm while he was scratching it.

The prisoner who befriends Robert Dorson hears his new friend's story on how he
ended up in the prison.

Tuesday, May 19: The keeper falls victim to the T-virus and joins the rising
number of the mansion's undead. He attack and kill Scott the guard and eats the

in Raccoon City's Cider District. Raccoon Police assume that a grizzly bear or
some other wild animal attacked her.

Thursday, May 21: The prisoner sneaks out of the barracks and searches for
Robert Dorson. Instead he hears Dorson screaming, followed by maniacal laughter.

Henry Sarton, one of the few remaining scientists who has not fallen to the
T-virus or his zombified co-workers, makes a report on the mutant plant at
Point 42, now called Plant 42. Sarton also reports that the mutant plant has
high intelligence, since it can block the doors with its vines while it sleeps.

Wednesday, May 27: The Raccoon Times reports on the dead hiker found near the
Marble River.

The prisoner on Rockfort Island is the only one left in the barracks. Soon he
will meet the same fate as did Dorson and the other prisoners before him.

1998, early to mid June: Infected scientist Martin Crackhorn writes a final
letter to his girlfriend explaining the outbreak and his decision to kill
himself before he turns into a zombie.

Sunday, June 7: The number of guinea pigs are the Dead Factory are rising, and
the manager butt heads with the laboratory staff. Oh, did I forget to mention
that the disposal system is STILL NOT WORKING?!

Monday, June 8: Chief Irons' secretary is cleaning her boss' office when he
comes in, and Irons ends up yelling at the poor employee.

Ada Wong's boyfriend John writes his final letter to his love, explaining how
to make the outbreak at the Spencer Mansion known to the public. He also adds
that if she comes across him if he is a zombie, that she kills him herself

Wednesday, June 10: Chief Irons' behavior becomes the gossip among the Raccoon
police officers, since he hasn't came out of his office after kicking his
secretary out two days ago.

Monday, June 15: Chief Irons' secretary comes across several of her boss'
secrets and realizes that her life may be in jeopardy if her boss finds out.

Tuesday, June 16: The Raccoon Weekly magazine has an article on doglike
creatures in the Arklay Mountains. It even dared its readers to go and try to
find one of the creatures.

Sunday, June 28: Don Weller, a chemical transporter for Umbrella keeps
scratching himself and is sweating constantly while was talking to the sewer
manager.

1998, Tuesday, July 7: The sewer manager notices Chief Irons' foul mood and
sums it up to William Birkin's requests.

Thursday, July 9: The Raccoon Times report that the Raccoon Police Department
closes down the road to the Arklay Forest due to the murders, and enlist the

Research Department sends a letter to Umbrella's Sanitation Department
concerning the T-virus outbreak at the Spencer Mansion.

Tuesday, July 14: An Umbrella employee receives orders from his superiors to
investigate the long-deserted Arklay training facility. According to the
employee, he is part of the first group assigned to investigate the failed
experiment.

Thursday, July 16: The Dead Factory can't keep up with the increasing number of
bodies for its disposal system.

The Umbrella employee notes that due to the investigation of the Arklay
facility, the testing of B.O.W. Type-Y139 was suspended. 'There's a lot of
interesting research left...Depending on the species and nurturing conditions,
only minute doses of "T" bring about remarkable changes in solidity, size,
multiplication of internal toxins and brain development.' The employee also
adds that if 'these effects can be controlled, a weapon could be produced. But
the sudden development of the shell results in corresponding fragility. Certain
areas become exceedingly weak.'

Sunday, July 19: The Umbrella employee is growing with anticipation on the
upcoming day when his team investigates the Arklay training facility. He also
adds that 'The Raccoon City newspapers and TV stations are full of reports
about bizzare murders in the suburbs. It can't be the virus, can it?'

Wednesday, July 22: Captain Wesker receives his orders from 'White Umbrella' on
what to do with the B.O.W.'s and the destruction of the lab.

Thursday night, July 23-Friday morning July 24: Here's where the mayhem starts.
Resident Evil 0 takes place. James Marcus attacks a train full of Umbrella
employees en route to a training facility near the Spencer Mansion. Wesker
sends Bravo Team, which consists of team leader Enrico Marini, field
scout/chemist Kenneth J. Sullivan, sharpshooter Forest Speyer, pilot Kevin
Dooly, co-pilot Edward Dewey, radioman Richard Aiken, and field medic Rebecca
Chambers to the Raccoon Forest to investigate. Their chopper crashes, and with
the exception of the pilot Kevin, searches the forest.

Not too far away, Marcus' leeches attack Billy Coen's transport vehicle,
killing the MP's and in the attack, Billy manages to escape to the train.
Rebecca Chambers finds the train and meets up with the fugitive, and the pair
team up against the onslaught of the undead and mutant leeches. Rebecca is
forced to execute the zombie that was formerly her comrade-in-arms Edward
Dewey, and the train crashes near the training facility, where they fight their
way through scores of the undead and Umbrella's monsters and test experiments.

The pair encounters a prototype Tyrant and James Marcus in the treatment plant
below the training facility. Marcus is killed and Rebecca comes across the
Spencer Mansion. Billy and Rebecca go their separate ways after Rebecca takes
his dogtags. "Officially, Billy Coen is dead." Whether or not Billy Coen lives
or not afterwards is left open to question.

Friday night, July 24-Saturday morning, July 25: Welcome to the world of
survival horror. Resident Evil/RE Remake takes place. Having failed to regain
contact with Bravo Team, Captain Wesker leads Alpha Team, which consists of
Wesker himself, weapons specialist Barry Burton, marksman Chris Redfield,
machine/lockpicking expert (and in some cases, ex-thief) Jill Valentine,
vehicle specialist Joseph Frost, and the cowardly pilot Brad Vickers. Alpha
Team comes across the remains of Bravo team's helicopter and the body of Kevin
Dooly. Joseph Frost is attacked and killed by the Cerberus (zombie dogs), Brad,
living up to his name, ditches his teammates, and the survivors are chased into
the mansion.

The team separate and discover the grisly fate of their teammates: Kenneth
Sullivan became zombie food, Forest Speyer was attacked and killed by infected
crows, only to become a member of the undead himself, Richard Aiken was
poisoned by Yawn (giant mutant snake). Alpha Team blasted their way through an
army of the undead, monsters, an overgrown plant project gone berserk, and the
monster that was formerly Lisa Trevor. Along the way, they find a badly injured
Enrico Marini, who is assassinated before he can tell who the traitor is among
the S.T.A.R.S. members.

In the meantime, Wesker makes his own plans. Using a special type of T-virus
(minus the zombie effect) he injects it into himself and sets out to cover his
escape by sending the Tyrant against Chris and the others. Jill Valentine is
successful in taking down the Tyrant for the first time after it supposedly
kills Wesker. The self-destruct sequence is activated and Barry, Rebecca, Chris
and Jill head for the heliport, where they signal Brad to airlift them out of
there.

The Tyrant--now pissed off--has other plans for them. He makes an explosive
entrance at the heliport and attacks the surviving S.T.A.R.S. members. Brad
evens the odds by dropping an anti-tank Rocket Launcher on the heliport. Chris
gets to it first and in one shot, reduces the 'ultimate bio-weapon' into bloody
chunks. The surviving S.T.A.R.S. members escape the Spencer mansion, just
seconds before the self-destruct mechanism is activated, and the mansion, along
with its labs, are destroyed. Albert Wesker escapes by another route and now
has a serious vendetta against the surviving S.T.A.R.S. members.

Sunday, July 26: Chris Redfield makes a report on the events the night before
to Chief Irons. He tells of the zombies and monsters within the Spencer
Mansion, the deaths of his fellow S.T.A.R.S. teammates, Umbrella's involvement
in illegal experiments, Wesker's betrayal and death, and their escape from the
mansion. He finishes the report by stating a federal investigation on Umbrella
should be initiated immediately.

Wednesday, July 29: The number of bodies in the Dead Factory continues to rise,
and the disposal system is beginning to fail. Under these inhumane conditions,
the antibiotics are useless and several of the workers are infected. The
factory manager begins to keep a loaded gun nearby, always saving the last
bullet for himself. 'I want to weep. I don't want to die here. I swear that
I'll lose my mind if I imagine how painful the death will be...'

1998, Friday, August 7: Jill Valentine has physically recovered from the
Spencer Mansion case, but is still haunted by the deaths of her teammates.

Saturday, August 8: Chris tries once again to get Chief Irons to listen to him
and open a case against Umbrella, but being on Umbrella's payroll, Irons turns
a blind eye to the impending investigation. To make things worse, the majority
of Raccoon's citizens are working for Umbrella.

Sunday, August 9: Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service commando Nicholai
Ginovaef submits his report concerning the destruction of the Spencer mansion
and its laboratory.

A Sheena Island factory worker has serious doubts on the tactics that his boss
has concerning the experiments at the laboratory.

Thursday, August 13: Jill Valentine notices a change of mood in Chris Redfield.
He constantly causes trouble, and it came to a point when he decks Officer
Elran of the Boy's Crime Department for accidentally splashing him in the face
with hot coffee.

Saturday Morning, August 15: Jill visits Chris at his apartment in the middle
of the night and Chris shows her confidential information regarding the G-virus.

Monday, August 16: The sewer manager notices that Chief Irons is in a bad mood.
When he tries to cheer him up, the manager finds himself staring down the
barrel of Irons' gun. The manager manages to calm the chief down...for now.
Irons' mood changes for the better when William Birkin places a hefty deposit
of $10,000 in the Chief's bank account. In exchange for the money, Irons has to
keep the S.T.A.R.S. from snooping around in Umbrella's affairs.

Tuesday, August 17: The Raccoon Police Department begin to get reports on
'strange monsters' lurking around Raccoon City. Chris realizes that Umbrella is
up to its old tricks again.

Friday, August 20: A teenage boy from the Republic of Congo is kidnapped by
Umbrella agents and is sent to Sheena Island, an Umbrella-run city which
specializes in producing Tyrants en masse.

Saturday, August 21: William Birkin orders the sewer manager to temporary cease
all operations in the sewers, seeing that the police have launched an
investigation on Umbrella's activities.

Tuesday, August 24: With the help of Jill Valentine and Barry Burton, Chris
Redfield finds more info on the G-virus. A course of plan is in action as Chris
decides to go ahead to Europe, while Barry sends his family to Canada for
safety. Jill, on the other hand, decides to stay in town in order to scrounge
up some more info on Umbrella.

Friday, August 25: A Raccoon P.D. night watchman is inside the police station's
clock tower. Chief Irons finds him and gives the watchman the third degree for
being in the clock tower, rather than not being at his post.

Monday, August 28: Umbrella sends a dismissal notice to Morpheus Duvall,
notifying him of his termination, saying that he was responsible for the
T-virus outbreak at the Spencer mansion. Duvall swears revenge.

1998: Tuesday, September 1: Thirty-one days left before the destruction of
Raccoon City. The mercenary who was saved from execution has completed his
training, which lasted six months.

Saturday, September 5: The Congolese boy held captive on Sheena Island finds
out that teenagers between the ages of 16 to 20 were kidnapped from all over
the globe by the Umbrella Corporation as test subjects. The citizens of Sheena
Island are working for Umbrella one way or another.

Sunday, September 6: Vincent Goldman and another member of the Umbrella
Corporation are sent to Sheena Island. Vincent kills the other guy, so that way
he is appointed Commander of the island.

Sheena Island sewer caretaker Andy Holland writes in his diary concerning
Vincent Goldman. He heard rumors about Vincent's coldheartedness, but pays it
no mind.

Thursday, September 10: Twenty days left before the destruction of Raccoon
City. The Director at Raccoon Hospital makes his report on the 'cannibal
disease' that's beginning to appear in the city.

On Sheena Island, the Congolese lad suspects that his and the other prisoners'
food is being drugged.

Lott Klein, the son of one of the researchers, is told by Commander Goldman and
his father that the children brought here will be turned into ‘decent people’
by Umbrella.

Tuesday, September 15: Sixteen days left before Raccoon's destruction. Jill
Valentine resigns from the Raccoon Police Department. She continues to
investigate Umbrella, while at the same time laying low.

The mercenary is forced to cut his vacation short as his U.B.C.S. unit is
called to action. According to the mercenary, there are two separate teams of
paramilitary teams; one group to combat corporate terrorism and V.I.P.
kidnappings, and the second group--which he is a member of--is a special unit
of nightmen trained to handle 'illegal products' and the problems that they
cause.

Joel Allman, Vice-President of the U.S. Branch of Umbrella sends a memo to
William Birkin concerning a shortage of chemicals at the Antarctic base. Allman
requests a donation of chemicals to be transported to the Antarctic base, and
reassures Birkin that the Ashford's reputation is damaged beyond repair.

William Birkin finds out that Umbrella plans to steal his G-virus from him. He
instructs Chief Irons to find and arrest anyone who is doing anything
suspicious in the city.

Friday, September 18: Thirteen days left before Raccoon's destruction. Another
person suffering from the 'cannibal disease' is sent to Raccoon Hospital. The
hospital director wonders if there is a cure for the disease.

Saturday, September 19: Twelve days left before Raccoon's destruction. The
night watchman that Chief Irons yelled at meets Thomas, who works at the sewer
plant behind the R.P.D. Like the watchman, he is a chess fanatic, but wonders
why his new friend keeps on scratching himself most of the time. '...does he
have some sort of skin disease or his he just rude?'

Sunday, September 20: Eleven days left before Raccoon's destruction. R.P.D.
officer Neil Carson comes across a strange-looking person at the outskirts of
the city. The person ran off, but left behind some plastic explosive, handgun
ammo, and an infrared scope that's broken.

On Sheena Island, Andy Holland hears rumors about Commander Goldman's inhumane
experiments on the kidnapped children.

Monday, September 21: The Congolese boy discovers that several of his friends
were taken to 'the factory on the mountain.' While at a nightclub, he overhears
some of the workers talking about Commander Goldman's horrific experiments. The
Congolese boy and his friends plot their escape.

Tuesday, September 22: Nine days left before Raccoon's destruction. Umbrella's
French Research and Division director Christine Henri orders Hunk and his unit
to steal the G-virus from the defiant William Birkin and deliver it to the
French R and D at Loire Village. They enter the lab without a hitch and
confront Birkin, who refuses to give up his work. A mistake on Birkin's part
and a commando with an itchy trigger finger ends up with Birkin being mortally
wounded by the commando unit (What goes around, comes around, Birkin. Serves
you right.), and his G-virus samples are taken.

Birkin, who has a hidden sample of the G-virus on himself, leads it into a
syringe and injects it into himself. The G-virus revives Birkin, but mutates
him into a Tyrant-like G-Type monster. Birkin pursues his assailants in a
murderous rampage and slaughters them. He then stuffs down more G-virus samples
and the sewer rats ingest the broken T-virus samples, thus leading to the
full-scale outbreak at Raccoon City. Hunk manages to escape, but is knocked
unconscious.

(My guess that the rats were probably immune to the T-virus. If they managed to
survive the Black Death in Medieval Europe, then a man-made virus would
possibly have no effect on them.)

Wednesday, September 23: Eight days left before Raccoon's destruction. This is
the beginning of the end for the city and its citizens. Chief Irons finally
reaches the breaking point as he hears about the zombie invasion that's
starting to take place. He vows to himself to kill everyone who is infected.

Thursday, September 24: Seven days left before Raccoon's destruction. Raccoon
City Mayor Michael Warren places the city under martial law.

Chief Irons plans to sabotage his police force's efforts in containing the
zombie menace. He spreads confusion in both the police department and the
general public. Second, he makes sure that there is no outside help and that
all escape routes in the city are barricaded. Third, he has his police force
spread the ammo throughout the building.

R.P.D. officer Marvin Branagh makes a report on two jewels stolen from City
Hall. He has to suspend the case, due to the lack of police officers and the
imminent zombie threat.

Saturday, September 26: Five days left before Raccoon's destruction. The night
watchman sees that his friend Thomas isn't feeling too well, and tells him to
return home and rest. He also realizes that he himself is not feeling well
either.

Morning. Marvin Branagh reports a restaurant owner who had one of the two
missing gems. The owner was shot after showing symptoms of the 'cannibal
disease' and Branagh has to suspend the case once again.

Round One: The Raccoon Police Department is under siege by the undead and the
police gets their arses handed to them and many of the civilians hiding inside
the police station are killed. (Sorry. A little 'Braveheart' humor there.)
During the battle one of the officers, David Ford is rescued by one of the
marksmen named Meyer. Instead of returning the favor when Meyer was in danger,
Officer Ford chickened out and ran, leaving Meyer to be slaughtered.

The Raccoon Hospital is in even worse shape than the police station. Zombies
had killed the majority of the hospital staff, several of the floors are
inaccessible and the director, who is now showing symptoms of the 'cannibal
disease,' is forced to close the hospital down. '...I know that it's too late
for me. I am beginning to feel that same itchy and hungry desire that all of my
patients felt. It's too late for me...'

The sadistic Chief Irons has a 'change of heart' and decides to hunt down the
remaining civilians and police officers. One of his targets includes Mayor
Warren's daughter, whom Claire Redfield finds sprawled over Irons' desk three
days from now. '...I'm going to enjoy my new trophy. Yes, frozen forever in the
pose I choose to give her...' Sick bastard.

The remaining police officers plan on finding the remaining ammunition and
escaping the police station. There's just one small problem though: the guy
with the keycard went missing since the attack on the R.P.D.

Several units of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service, led by
Lieutenant Mikhail Victor and Sergeant Nicholai Ginovaef, are dispatched to
Raccoon City. Despite being better prepared than the ill-fated police force,
their numbers are quickly decimated and the remaining mercenaries finds
themselves on the run, including Tyrell Patrick, Murphy Seeker, and Carlos
Oliveira.

Sunday, September 27: Four days left before Raccoon's destruction. Round Two:
The Raccoon police force and its S.W.A.T. team take to the streets to try and
stop the zombie menace. Using their cars as barriers, they open fire on the
advancing undead, but the zombies simply barge through the police, forcing them
to retreat back to the Raccoon Police Department, where they barricade
themselves in for a standoff. They are then killed one by one by the undead,
monsters, or by Chief Irons himself.

(Looks like they haven't been watching any of George Romero's zombie movies,
otherwise they would have known to aim for the head ;P.)

Twelve more police officers are killed when the undead break through the
western barricade of the Raccoon Police Department. A new monster, dubbed the
'Licker,' due to its lance-like tongue, which is 'capable of piercing a human
torso in an instant,' kills three more police officers. Let's face it, the
Raccoon Police Department is seriously fucked here.

Inside a well-fortified room, the unstable David Ford, thought to have been
dead, plans on painting the ceiling with his brains with his Mossberg shotgun
once he runs out of booze.

Nighttime. A mercenary and his partner named Campbell arrive at the rendezvous
point, the Saint Michael Clock Tower. They managed to stay alive by stealing
their wounded comrades' weapons and using civilians as decoys, something that
one of the mercenaries doesn't like doing. The mercenary, who is more
sympathetic, takes a liking to one of the survivors, a teenage girl, who
reminds him of his younger sister.

Monday, September 28: Three days left until Raccoon's destruction. Dawn. One of
the Umbrella mercenaries finally loses it. He would much rather be back on
death row, since to him, it was a 'heavenly asylum compared to this place,' and
proceeds to commit suicide. Jill Valentine comes across his body later on
during the day.

Sometime during the mission, Mikhail Victor is seriously injured. Whether he
was injured by the Brain/Drain Deimos or survived a botched assassination
attempt by Nicholai is left to question.

Four more police officers are attacked and killed. The remaining police
officers, now down to four, plan to escape through the sewers. They obviously
did not make it.

The two mercenaries at the clock tower prepare to escape. The more sympathetic
merc wishes to take the girl with him, but the girl refuses to leave without
her father. Campbell wants his buddy to ditch the girl, but the kind mercenary
refuses to do so. All three are killed, the mercenary protecting the girl to
the very end. Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira will come across their bodies
while exploring the clock tower later that night.

First Half of Resident Evil 3 Nemesis takes place. Jill Valentine decides to
make her 'last escape' from Raccoon City. She literally blasts her way through
her apartment building and hides inside a warehouse. Finding another survivor,
a wannabe novelist named Dario Russo, Russo basically tells the former
S.T.A.R.S. member to shove it and refuses to leave the warehouse. She comes
across the injured Brad Vickers hiding inside Bar Jack and is told of the
monstrosity that is hunting S.T.A.R.S. members. "He's after S.T.A.R.S. members.
There's no escape!"

Jill shoots her way to the Raccoon Police Department, where she encounters
Brad, who looked liked, as what Pres. Evil says, 'someone dropped a truck on
him.' The Tyrant-like monster that Brad was ranting about earlier makes its
appearance and kills Brad in Jill's view. As the monster turns on Jill,
chanting "S.T.A.R.S.," like a mantra, Jill dashes into the police station for
safety. While she is inside, Brad Vickers joins the ranks of the undead.

The resourceful woman searches the Raccoon Police Department for any survivors.
When she finds none, she manages to find better weapons inside the S.T.A.R.S.
Office. Back on the first floor, she encounters the trenchcoated monster again,
this time it is armed with a HUGE rocket launcher. Jill escapes the creature's
murderous advances and heads into Downtown Raccoon City. While Jill is
exploring the city, zombies kill Dario Russo and a young woman. Jill will come
across their bodies upon returning to the warehouse to check up on Russo.

Inside the Grill 13 restaurant, Jill meets Carlos Oliveira and avoids the
monster yet again. Jill ditches the monster again and comes across the injured
Mikhail Victor and the cool Nicholai Ginovaef, as well as Carlos inside a cable
car. Jill agrees to join forces with the Umbrella mercenaries in order to reach
the clock tower. After a few close calls, they find parts for the cable car to
get it moving.

Jill's stalker makes another appearance on the cable car, and Mikhail, using a
incendiary grenade, meets an honorable death by sacrificing himself to allow
Jill and Carlos to escape, but end up crashing at the clock tower. After
repairing the bell, Jill signals the rescue chopper to the clock tower, which
is promptly destroyed by the creature's rocker launcher. With its tentacle, the
monster infects Jill with the T-virus and in the ensuing battle, Jill sends the
creature packing. Carlos comes to Jill's aid as she passes out and takes her to
the tower's chapel.

Tuesday night, September 29-Wednesday morning, September 30: Resident Evil 2
takes place. While Jill Valentine is unconscious from the effects of the
T-virus, two more unlucky souls join the zombie block party at Raccoon City.
The first person is Leon Scott Kennedy, an idealistic rookie police officer on
his way to work at the Raccoon Police Department (it's his first day on the
job!). The second is Claire Redfield, a 19-year-old college student/motorcycle
enthusiast who is in town looking for her older brother, former S.T.A.R.S.
marksman Chris Redfield.

Instead, shortly after arriving into town from separate routes, both find
themselves on the run from Raccoon's zombified populace. They commandeer an
abandoned police cruiser and head for the police station. A surprise zombie
attack, a car crash, and one exploding tanker trailer later, Leon and Claire
find themselves separated, with Leon being the closest to the police station.

(I'm going by Claire A-Leon B scenario. Makes more sense. Too many plot holes
in Leon A-Claire-B.)

Claire meets Robert Kendo, the gun shop owner (and brother of Joseph Kendo,
designer of the S.T.A.R.S. Samurai Edge Custom Beretta handgun, seen in the RE
remake as a hidden weapon and again in RE 3 as Jill's default weapon), who
unfortunately meets a bad end at the hands of the zombies and escapes through
the back door. While she is making her way through the mazelike streets, Leon
arrives at the police station's back door. He witness a botched rescue attempt
and enters the station. Claire, on the other hand, arrives at the R.P.D.'s
front doorstep and puts the now-zombified Brad Vickers' tortured soul to rest
once and for all.

While inside the police station, Leon and Claire encounter several characters,
each with their own agendas. Leon crosses paths with the mysterious Ada Wong,
who is looking for her boyfriend, a jailed reporter named Ben Bertolucci, and
on several occasions, narrowly eludes the Neo-Tyrant known only as 'Mr. X.'

(Writer's note: Resident Evil is not the only game who had a character named
Mr. X. Aside from Metal Gear Solid 2 (the robo-ninja), the very first Mr. X was
the Tommy gun-toting end boss from the Streets of Rage series. A little trivia
there.)

Claire, on the other hand, encounters the dying Marvin Branagh, Sherry Birkin,
the daughter of William and Annette Birkin, and Brian Irons, the screwloose
police chief, leering over the dead body of Mayor Warren's daughter. Later on,
Marvin Branagh becomes the latest victim to the T-virus and Claire is forced to
execute the undead cop. Ada runs into Sherry, who leaves her pendant behind.
Ada decides to hold onto it so she can return it to her.

Both find exits to the sewers through different parts of the police station:
Leon through the sewers inside the dog kennel, and Claire through a secret room
in Irons' office. Both Irons and Bertolucci meet a violent end at the hands (or
claw) of the monstrosity that was Sherry's father, William Birkin. Claire and
Sherry escape the station first, while Leon meets up with the mutant Birkin,
now G-Type I on his way out of the police station.

While Leon and Claire escape the police station through the sewers; Hunk
regains consciousness and makes his own escape with a sample of the G-virus.
Using what ammo and resources he has, he carves a path of destruction through
the police station until he reaches the rooftop, where an Umbrella helicopter
airlifts him to safety. His mission completed, he returns to Loire Village.

Claire and Sherry are then separated and in a twist of fate, Sherry is infested
with a G-virus embryo by her mutant father while unconscious, while Claire
meets up with Sherry's unstable mother, Annette Birkin, who explains to Claire
on how Raccoon went to zombie hell. They split up in order to search for Sherry
and in the process, Annette runs into Leon and Ada. Leon takes a bullet for
Ada, who gets some payback by knocking Annette over the ledge. Ada then
discovers a secret compartment inside the pendant that contains a sample of the
G-virus.

Claire finds Sherry, but has to go through a huge alligator that is lurking in
the sewers. After dispatching it Jaws-style, Claire rescues Sherry and escapes
the sewers. They reach the factory and use the elevator (which is disguised
like a train) to the Umbrella Laboratory, where Sherry passes out and Claire
fights her monstrous father, now G-Type II. Several flame grenades later, the
mutant Birkin goes down for the count.

Claire takes Sherry to the office and keeps her there for the time being while
she explores the lab. Meanwhile, Leon and Ada make it to factory (after
Birkin's attempt to try and kill them on the way there), and call back the
elevator. On their way down to the labs, Ada is injured by the G-Type's claw
and Leon rushes out to combat the monster, which has mutated into G-Type III.

After the Tyrant makes a hasty retreat following an unhealthy dose of buckshot
the elevator overloads and stops halfway down. When Leon finds himself inside a
corridor within the Umbrella Labs, the elevator leaves without him.
Nevertheless, Leon finds his way into the Labs. After searching the labs, Leon
encounters Annette. Just before she can put a bullet in his head, however, Mr.
X makes yet another appearance, causing Annette to run away, this time heading
for the man laboratory, while Leon leads Mr. X on yet another chase through the
labs.

Leon rushes into the power room, where Mr. X has him trapped. Ada, though
injured, appears and draws Mr. X's attention from Leon with her handgun. When
the Tyrant lifts the helpless woman into the air, Ada blasts her gun into his
face and in retaliation; Mr. X slams Ada into a control panel (ouch!) and
staggers into the smelting pit several feet below. Obviously dying, Ada
confesses her love to Leon and they kiss. She then dies in Leon's arms.

Meanwhile, Claire encounters Annette outside the main laboratory. In the
ensuing sequence, Annette is drawn away from Claire by William's screams.
Rushing around the corridor, she finds her mutated husband. His humanity gone,
the monster that was formerly William Birkin ruthlessly guts Annette and
disappears into the ceiling. Before Annette dies, however, she hands Claire a
document on how to synthesize the G-virus vaccine that will save Sherry's life.

After Leon leaves the power room, Albert Wesker, who have been watching from
the shadows (he has been in Raccoon all this time?!) revives Ada. The
self-defense mechanism is activated and Leon is radioed by Claire (who is in
the security room and saw Leon on a working monitor) and tells him to pick up
Sherry from the office while she makes the vaccine. Leon follows Claire's
wishes and takes her to the escape train.

Claire creates the vaccine while Leon is busy preparing the escape train for
departure. With five minutes left until the entire lab goes up in a ball of
flames, both Leon and Claire are in a fight for their lives. First, Leon had to
get power for the train. While inserting two plugs for the power generator, Mr.
X attacks him yet again, this time the relentless monster has been transformed
into a dual-clawed Tyrant. While Leon has his hands full with his adversary,
Claire encounters Birkin yet again at the loading docks.

After dodging the Tyrant's wild charges and claw swipes, Leon gets lucky. From
a nearby perch, Ada tosses a rocket launcher down to Leon, who scoops it up and
in one blast, ends the Tyrant's attempts to kill him once and for all. Claire,
on the other hand, eludes the G-Type III, who transforms into G-Type IV. Claire
defeats the monster and takes the elevator down to the escape train. Ada
escapes by means of another route, as does Wesker.

Leon races back to the train and activates it. Claire arrives just as it's
pulling off and hops aboard. She administers the vaccine and saves Sherry's
life. Before they can relax, however, the alarms on the train go off, signaling
that a biohazard outbreak on the train. When Leon checks it out, he encounters
the G-Type that Claire had supposedly killed. It transformed yet again, this
time into a gel-like mass that takes up the entire car. One rocket, a clip of
Magnum rounds, and an unhealthy dose of buckshot later, the G-Type V is
defeated, but not down for the count.

Leon can't return to the train and with the G-Type on his heels, heads for the
roof. The monster breaks through the car and threatens Sherry and Claire.
Sherry crawls through the ventilation duct into the control room and Claire
escapes by going under the train. With the help of Leon, Sherry finds the
emergency stop switch and stops the train. Our three heroes then bolt for the
tunnel entrance, just as the train explodes, destroying the G-Type V...William
Birkin once and for all. Not long after that, Claire, after an argument with
Leon and leaving Sherry in his care, heads off to find her brother alone. Leon
and Sherry are now in the custody of the U.S. Government.

While Leon, Claire, and Sherry escape Raccoon City, Nicholai Ginovaef reports
from inside the clock tower rooftop (Does he know that Jill and Carlos are also
hiding there as well?). He concludes that renegade scientist William Birkin is
responsible for the outbreak (this is partially true, but you can thank the
trigger-happy Umbrella commando who shot him full of holes in the first place)
and that more precautions should be in order so that another full-scale
outbreak may never happen.

Inside a hidden room in the Raccoon Cemetery, a secret communique is sent to
the Umbrella supervisors, notifying them of their political influence in the
U.S. Senate has delayed then inevitable, and that the 'Raccoon City Project' is
scrapped and the city will be destroyed the following morning.

1998, Thursday night, October 1-Friday morning, October 2: Second half of
Resident Evil 3 Nemesis takes place. The day of Raccoon's judgment has arrived!
Hellfire and brimstone will rain down on...sorry, where was I? Ahem, inside the
chapel, Jill regains conscious and discovers that she is infected with the
T-virus. Carlos promises to find a cure for her and heads for the hospital.

Dodging zombies and Hunters, Carlos comes across Nicholai and an injured Tyrell
Patrick. Before Nicholai could kill Carlos, Tyrell saves Carlos' life by
sacrificing his own and Nicholai takes a five-story dive out the window. Carlos
creates the vaccine for Jill and barely escapes the hospital just as explosives
set by Nicholai demolish it.

Carlos returns to the chapel and administers the vaccine to Jill who recovers.
Jill avoids her pursuer and ditches the monster in Raccoon Park. She encounters
Nicholai near the Raccoon Cemetery...and the Grave Digger. Jill deep-fries the
monstrous worm with a street light and a puddle of water, and on her way to the
Dead Factory, her stalker--now known as NEMESIS--ambushes her, and Jill evades
him yet again. She encounters The Nemesis in a showdown inside the disposal
room and in the process blows his head off and escapes the room, just as the
Nemesis' body is dumped into the virus-laced chemicals. When she reaches the
control tower, Nicholai has commandeered the rescue chopper and ditches both
Carlos and Jill, thinking that they won't survive the nuclear assault.

The Nemesis, however, is not dead. He mutates into a monster and attacks Jill
inside the incinerator plant amidst the bodies of U.S. Army soldiers and
Tyrants. Using an oversized rail cannon (how it got in there is anyone's guess)
and six Magnum rounds, Jill finally destroys the Nemesis once and for all. "You
want S.T.A.R.S.? I'll give you S.T.A.R.S.!"

With less than two minutes left before the nuke hits, Barry Burton arrives by
helicopter and airlifts Jill and Carlos out of Raccoon City. The tactical
nuclear missile arrives soon after they escape and Raccoon City is completely
annihilated in a way that James Cameron would be proud of. The official story
was that the missile was used in a 'bacillus-terminate' operation and the city
was 'completely wiped off the map.'

Ten thousand souls are estimated dead, including Mayor Michael Warren and his
daughter, Raccoon Police Chief Brian Irons (good riddance), Officers Marvin
Branagh, Elliot Edward, and David Ford, gun shop owner Robert Kendo, Former
S.T.A.R.S. pilot Brad Vickers, Umbrella scientists William and Annette Birkin
and wannabe novelist Dario Russo. Survivors include Leon Kennedy, Ada Wong,
Claire Redfield, Sherry Birkin, Albert Wesker, Jill Valentine, Hunk, Barry
Burton, Nicholai Ginovaef, and Carlos Oliveira.

(Here's some food for thought. If Wesker was hiding in Raccoon City this whole
time, why didn't he try to kill Jill prior to Resident Evil 3?)

Sunday, October 4: The news of Raccoon's destruction reaches Sheena Island. A
restaurant owner on the island hears rumors that Umbrella was somehow
responsible for the outbreak.

Tuesday, October 6: The Sheena Island section leaders attend a meeting with
Commander Vincent Goldman concerning the biohazard outbreak at Raccoon City.
The place the blame solely on the late William Birkin and discuss the idea of
having traitors on the island.

Nicholai Ginovaef reports on the combat data gathered during the Raccoon City
fiasco. He reports on the Nemesis, which was 'more ferocious and intelligent
than we had expected,' and as a result, 'many U.B.C.S. members sent to the area
have been sacrificed in the process of collecting combat data.' He hopes that
with this data, an advanced B.O.W. may be created.

Thursday, October 8: The restaurant owner on Sheena Island hears that the
T-virus is on the island. Now he wants out of Umbrella and to be somewhere far
away from Sheena.

Taking advantage of the edgy prison guards who seem to be collecting
information on the Raccoon City disaster, the Congolese lad and his friends
plan their escape. According to the boy, 'Stojkovic and Enriquez are supposed
to steal the keys from the guards, Sankhon and I will act as decoys, and
Yoshikawa and Fellipe are in charge of gathering weapons.'

Friday, October 9: Tonight the Congolese boy and his comrades execute their
escape plan at 11 p.m. Twenty prisoners are separated into two groups--Units A
and B. Unit A will escape through the sewers, while Unit B will scale down the
surveillance tower.

The prisoners execute their plan. Their plan failed and all twenty prisoners
were personally gunned down by Commander Goldman.

Saturday, October 10: The day after the botched escape attempt, Commander
Goldman orders the prison warden to report the mass murder as a mass suicide.
He realizes that the mass murder could blemish his otherwise perfect record as
Commander of the Island and that could stop him from getting recognized for his
'great achievements' in the city.

Inside the sewers, the Sewer Manager Andy Holland hears rumors of what Vincent
did to the 20 prisoners.

Thursday, October 15: Lott Klein catches wind of Commander Goldman's heinous
act concerning the prisoners. He begins to wonder if what Commander Goldman and
his parents say about their work is true.

Tuesday, October 20: The Prison Chief on Sheen Island receives a reply
concerning the alleged 'mass-suicide' report he had filed a week and a half
ago. He comes to understand just how ruthless Vincent is and will not hesitate
to kill him.

Friday, October 30: A recently hired driver at the Antarctic facility has
serious gripes about his job.

1998, Tuesday, November 3: The driver at the Antarctic facility finds out that
his vacation is cancelled, due to a lack of manpower on Alfred Ashford's part.
He's pretty much pissed.

Thursday, November 5: The driver hears from another worker who has been at the
Antarctic facility for about eight years about a 'man who has been confined for
over 10 years, locked up in a cell located deep below here.' The workers call
the mystery man 'Nosferatu.' Personally, the driver thinks it's a bunch of crap.

Monday, November 9: Ark Thompson, a private investigator, and a close friend of
Leon S. Kennedy arrives on Sheena Island to investigate Umbrella's affairs. Ark
visits Andy Holland and Andy takes a snapshot of Ark, something that Ark
disapproves, since he has Andy thinking that he is Commander Goldman. Lott
Klein is hiding and reports to Commander Goldman.

Tuesday, November 10: Commander Goldman realizes that the citizens on Sheena
Island are preparing to turn against him. He also thinks that the 'spy,' as he
calls Ark is somehow connected with the rebellious citizens. '...I'll let him
for now, and see who he works for and why he is here. Then I'll kill him...'

Meanwhile, at the Antarctic facility, the worker wakes up to growling from down
below the facility. Can the legend of Nosferatu be true?

Thursday, November 19: Vincent Goldman discovers that the townspeople are going
to turn him over to the HQ representatives next week when they arrive with more
guinea pigs. Vincent has a rather nasty surprise in store for them.

Sunday, November 22: In what would appear to be an accident, Commander Goldman
contaminates the entire island with the T-virus. Before he can leave, however,
he has one more loose end to tie up. 'It's that spy. I have to eliminate that
rat who sneaked into the city!'

Tuesday, November 23: Lott Klein and his sister are under attack by zombies who
were once nice to them when they were alive.

Wednesday, November 24: Lott and Lily Klein's parents join the ranks of Sheena
Island's undead. Now orphaned by the ordeal, Lott wishes to escape with his
sister.

Wednesday night, November 24-Friday morning, November 26: Resident Evil
Survivor takes place. A helicopter crash, a serious case of amnesia, an army of
Cleaners, Tyrants, the undead and monsters, and twenty thousand bullets, two
hundred grenade rounds, and God knows what else, Ark Thompson escapes Sheena
Island with the Klein siblings in tow.

1998, Thursday, December 17: While investigating inside Umbrella's labs in
Paris, Claire Redfield receives a VERY cold reception. She dodges guards, a
chaingun-toting helicopter, and escapes several more guards by using a move
that you only see in a Chow Yun-Fat movie. Despite her efforts, she is
captured, seeing how she is out of bullets.

Sunday, December 27-Monday, December 28: Resident Evil Code Veronica X takes
place. Claire is transported to Rockfort Island, Umbrella's prison located
south of the Equator. After she is knocked unconscious, a HCF strike team, lead
by Albert Wesker, lead a botched raid on the island, thus releasing the T-virus
over the island.

Claire regains consciousness and is released by her jailer, Umbrella security
guard Rodrigo Raval. After avoiding a zombie death trap, she meets Steve
Burnside, a prisoner who had also escaped infection. Claire finds a working
computer terminal and e-mails Leon a message to notify her brother of her
whereabouts so he can rescue her. Steve thinks that Chris won't come and storms
off.

While exploring the island, Claire encounters Alfred Ashford, the preppy,
sniper rifle-wielding commander of the base on two occasions. After dispatching
one of his creatures called a Bandersnatch, another one catches Claire by
surprise. Just as Claire is about to meet an untimely end, Steve rescues her
and the two join forces. Steve is forced to kill the zombie that was his
father. Leaving him alone for the time being, Claire discovers a creepy old
mansion and is nearly discovered by Alexia Ashford, Alfred's twin sister. She
leaves the mansion and returns to the underground jail and finding her jailer
there, hands over some Hemostat medicine she has found. In return for the
gesture, Raval hands over some lockpicks and tells her to leave the island.

On her way back to the mansion, she encounters 'a ghost from her brother's
past,' who comes in the form of Albert Wesker, who manhandles the younger
Redfield before leaving in a hurry, due to his orders from a higher power. Upon
re-exploring the mansion, she meets Alexia face-to-face. Steve comes rushing in
and in a burst of gunfire, hits Alexia in the shoulder. Pursuing Alexia into
the next room they encounter Alfred Ashford...with Alexia's makeup on his face.
Screaming hysterically, he runs out of the room, just as the self-destruct
sequence is activated.

They make it to the pane, but the bridge is blocking their escape route. Claire
volunteers to raise the bridge and on her way back to the plane, she encounters
T-078, released from its cryotube to hinder Claire's attempts to make it back
to the plane. Claire knocks it down with a barrage of grenades and returns to
the plane. She and Steve escapes Rockfort Island, as does Alfred Ashford, now
suffering from what I like to call 'The Norman Bates Syndrome,' by means of a
private Harrier jet.

Before Claire and Steve can relax, however, the cargo door is wrenched open and
when Claire enters the cargo hold, she finds an old friend waiting for her. The
Tyrant has returned for round two. Maneuvering in the cramped cargo hold,
Claire opens fire with her grenade launcher, until the Tyrant is weakened from
the onslaught. She then knocks the monster out of the plane with a crate loaded
with explosives.

In a surprising turn of events, the 'cross-dressing freak' Alfred activates the
cargo plane's autopilot, sending them to the Antarctic facility. The next
morning, the plane crashes at the facility. While exploring the grounds, Claire
comes across Alexander Ashford--now Nosferatu locked deep within his cell. She
restores the power to the facility and succeeds in finding an exit, but this
time, Alfred arrives to stop her. Steve rushes in to save the day, and in an
exchange of gunfire, Steve is slightly injured, while Alfred's injuries are
fatal.

During the firefight, Nosferatu escapes his bonds and is on the move. Claire
encounters this freak on the heliport of the facility. Using Alfred's sniper
rifle, Claire blasts out Noseferatu's heart. "I got you now!" KA-BLAM! With the
threat out of the way, Claire and Steve find a snowmobile nearby and head for a
nearby outpost.

Deep within the Antarctic facility, Alfred Ashford releases the cryotube
containing his sister and dies. Alexia sends a huge tentacle to destroy the
snowmobile containing Claire and Steve and bring them back to the base.

About a couple of hours after Claire and Steve escaped, Chris Redfield, having
gotten Leon's e-mail concerning his sister's whereabouts, arrives on Rockfort
Island. He encounters Rodrigo Raval inside the catacombs. Just as he is about
to tell Chris where his sister is, a monstrous worm swallows Raval whole. Chris
rescues him, but the damage has already been done. Raval returns Claire's
lighter to Chris and dies.

While exploring the ruins of the island base, he runs into his former
commanding officer, Albert Wesker. No match for the enhanced superman, Chris is
only saved when Wesker catches a glimpse of Alexia on a nearby monitor and
Wesker tosses him aside. After some more searching, Chris commandeers one of
Alfred's harrier jets and heads off to the Antarctic facility.

Shortly after arriving at the Antarctic facility, Chris has a sense of deja vu.
The living quarters of the Ashford family was designed after the Spencer
mansion in Raccoon City. He finds his sister inside some sort of cocoon and
using his Bowie knife, frees her. Their reunion is short-lived, as Alexia makes
her grand entrance. As the Redfields race after her, they are separated by a
tentacle attack. Claire is forced to go on by herself. She finds Steve, who
transforms into a huge monster wielding a battle-axe. Claire escapes the
rampaging monster, but not the tentacle that follows. Steve, showing that he
still retains some of his humanity, frees Claire, bus in retaliation, the
tentacle deals out a severe blow, reverting him back to human form. Steve then
dies in Claire's arms.

Back in the mansion lobby, Chris watches from his hiding place as Wesker
confronts Alexia. Wesker demands that she come with him, while Alexia rebukes
Wesker. "You are not worthy of its power!" She then transforms into Alexia I
and backhands Wesker, who shrugs it off. Alexia flings bloody flames at Wesker,
who dodges them by running up the wall, Matrix-style and cold-cocks Alexia
across her face. Wesker then ditches Alexia, leaving Chris to do his dirty work.

Alexia and Chris face off. Chris dodges her flames as he blasts her several
ties with the Magnum. Alexia goes down. He gains access to the secret labs
where Alexander Ashford performed his gene manipulation experiments decades
earlier. He comes across Claire, who tells him to set the self-destruct
mechanism, so that she can escape. Chris does so, and the two siblings are
united. Alexia once again appears and Chris and Claire unlock the weapon hold
containing the Linear Launcher. With Chris' help, Claire is able to escape,
leaving Chris to face off against Alexia once again.

After blasting her with everything he has, the deformed being that was Alexia
takes to the skies. Chris grabs the charged Linear Launcher and in one shot,
liquefies Alexia Ashford. On his way back to the Harrier, Chris discovers that
Wesker had taken Claire hostage. Following them down a zombie-filled corridor,
Chris catches up with them at Wesker's submarine. Wesker releases Claire who
runs off to the escape plane, as Chris and Wesker fight. Sadly, it's a
one-sided battle as Wesker knocks the poor guy all over the place. In
desperation, Chris drops a ton of I-beams on Wesker. Too bad they didn't work,
but they did injure Wesker slightly.

An explosion and a fallen pipe separates the two combatants, who promise to
settle the score the next time they meet. Chris and Wesker make their escapes,
Wesker in his submarine, and Chris in the Harrier jet with Claire, just as the
Antarctic facility is destroyed.

Nearly four years later...

2002, Sunday, April 7: While conducting a survey on B.O.W.'s considered to be
failures, a researcher at the Atlantic disposal facility discovers some kind of
'unknown water creatures,' whose body fluids are extremely acidic, thus making
them extremely dangerous. He calls these water creatures 'Torpedo Kids,' since
they swim like their namesake.

Tuesday, April 9: The researcher discovers that there is a 'mother' that is
producing the Torpedo Kids. If he can find the mother and kill it, then the
number of Torpedo Kids will decrease.

Tuesday, April 16: In an attempt to kill off the 'mother' of the Torpedo Kids,
the researcher is badly wounded and the Torpedo Kids extended their territories
to where the researcher is located.

2002, Saturday, May 18: The injured researcher relocates his observation area
to the underground, but remains cautions since creatures tend to congregate in
dark places.

Sunday, May 19: The researcher and several of his co-workers saw 'saw red
shining objects,' which look like eyes of some creature, but haven't been able
to identify it yet. Because of its shining eyes, the researcher calls this
creature 'Glimmer.'

Monday, May 20: The Spencer Rain, a cruise ship owned and operated by Umbrella,
leaves on what it will be its final voyage.

The researcher orders several workers to go and try to catch a Glimmer. The
plan failed and the monster kills two of the workers.

Thursday, May 22: After increasing the number of workers, they managed to kill
one of the Glimmers and bring the body back for examination. 'According to
workers, the "Glimmer" will open itself up just before it goes to attack.'

2002, Saturday, June 1: The researcher concludes that the Glimmer is an
apparent sub-species of the Hunters. The researcher decides to look into the
matter even further.

2002, Tuesday, August 27: A freight crewman working aboard the Spencer Rain
celebrates his 100th day anniversary working on the ship.

2002, Wednesday, September 4: The freight crewman notices that some type of
'large cargo' was carried off into the Presentation Room, located below deck.
The crewman absently wonders what is inside the containers.

Friday, September 6: The freight crewman discovers in one of the creates,
several canisters containing the biohazard insignia.

Saturday, September 7: The freight crewman gets yelled ay by his boss for not
being on the ball today. The crewman decides to be more attentive on his job.
'...I'd better be more careful since I really need to keep this job...'

Saturday, September 14: Joseph Carter, a waiter aboard the Spencer Rain writes
a letter to his brother about his job on the ship.

Monday, September 16: The Spencer Rain needs a new pool handle, since the old
one is rather rusty. As a precaution, the old one is stored inside the Storage
Room.

Wednesday, September 18: Morpheus Duvall, the scientist who was given the axe
four years earlier, pulls off a Claire Redfield-style raid on the Umbrella labs
in Paris and steals three T-virus samples, including a new virus, which is
called the T-G virus (version 0.9.1), a fused version of both virus with
electrical properties.

Friday, September 20: The captain of the Spencer Rain is pleased at how the
voyage is going so far. He is even in the good graces of his company, since a
representative praised him on how he runs his ship.

Saturday, September 21: The captain of the Spencer Rain thinks that something
funny is going on. He is concerned about 'the ones' escaping and promises to
himself that he will keep his Magnum on him at all times.

Sunday, September 22: Morpheus Duvall unleashes the T-Virus aboard the Spencer
Rain. How he managed to escape infection is anyone's guess. Ironically, this
date also marks the four-year anniversary of the full-scale outbreak at Raccoon
City.

The captain of the doomed ship can't send out a S.O.S. Worse yet, all of the
passengers and crew are dead. Like a man, the captain accepts his fate. 'All I
can do is accept what has been happening on my ship as my destiny...' Bruce
McGivern puts a bullet in the zombified captain's head later on.

Sunday night, September 22-Monday morning, September 23: Resident Evil Dead Aim
takes place. With the T-virus in his possession, Morpheus Duvall notifies the
American and Chinese governments that if they don't pay $5 billion, then he
would launch missiles containing the stolen T-virus samples at major cities in
America and China. The two governments then dispatch two of their best agents
to board the Spencer Rain and stop Duvall. From the American government, is
Bruce McGivern (he looks like Paul Walker with a bad Southern accent in the FMV
movies. Just look at the guy, for crying out loud!), a covert agent working for
the Anti-Umbrella Pursuit Team, a subsidiary of the U.S. Strategic Command.
From the Chinese side, it's Fongling, also a covert agent, only this time it's
for the Chinese Safety Department.

Both board the Spencer Rain without a hitch, but it's Bruce who gets to
Morpheus first. Actually it's Morpheus who sneaks up on Bruce from behind, and
would have killed him, had not Fongling and one of her hand grenades had
interfered. Bruce escapes injury, but Morpheus is not so lucky. Bruce enters
the ship and gains access to the main staircase. There, he and Fongling
meet--and Bruce gets knocked to the floor.

After their confrontation, Bruce explores the ship, or what rooms were
accessible. He finds a rusty valve handle and is on his way back to the stern
of the ship when he is attacked. Fongling appears and swipes the valve handle
from him when he is down. With her machine gun and silencer pistol, Fongling
blasts a path to the rear of the ship. Bruce follows her (or in this case,
follows the trail of shell casings and dead zombies) and catches up with her at
the stern of the ship.

Inside a control room, Morpheus--in bad shape following Fongling's grenade
attack--releases two Hunters on the two agents. Bruce takes them down with
little difficulty and follows Fongling below deck. While snooping around in the
presentation room, Bruce comes face to face with...Morpheus, who had injected
himself with the T-G virus and transformed into an enhanced Tyrant. Seeing that
his weapons have no effect on the monster, Bruce opts to run instead.

Morpheus then chases Bruce all over the lower decks. Using an ID card he had
acquired, he rushes into the living quarters of the crew...and into Fongling,
who was attempting to open another door. Bruce decides to stall for time while
Fongling opens the door from the other side. She disables the locks and helps
Bruce escape from Morpheus.

Bruce finds his way back to the upper decks and gains access to the captain's
quarters. He puts the captain's undead soul into permanent naptime and takes
his Magnum. Upon arriving at the bridge, he finds Fongling and discovers that
the Spencer Rain is on a collision course with a rocky cliff. With five minutes
to spare, both make a break for the helipad. There, Bruce is pitted in a
not-so-dramatic battle with the newest member of the Tyrant family--the T-091.
With tentacles instead of claws on its fingers (and a face that can give Jason
Voorhees a run for his money) the Tyrant attacks, but Bruce puts it down and
jumps off the ship. The Spencer Rain plows into the side of the cliff and is
destroyed.

Bruce finds himself at the disposal site where Morpheus worker at four years
earlier. Now deserted and abandoned (except for a small number of zombies,
Glimmers and Torpedo Kids), Bruce, while on the radio with his superiors,
discovers that the Chinese gave in and will pay the ransom, thus making
Fongling expendable.

Inside a helipad, Bruce saves Fongling from being killed by her own government
by means of an orbiting laser platform. Using a pocketknife, Bruce removes the
tracking device from Fongling's arm and destroys it, thus disabling the laser
platform.

Bruce encounters Pluto, the experiment that had gotten loose several years
earlier. He dispatches the monster and he and Fongling takes the elevator down
to the undersea laboratory. Morpheus appears and severs the cable, sending the
elevator rushing down. Bruce hits the emergency brake switch, allowing Fongling
to escape. Bruce, however cannot, and the elevator is sent zooming down to the
bottom. Luckily, Bruce is rendered unconscious.

Morpheus then captures Fongling while she is exploring the underwater labs and
Bruce regains consciousness. He destroys another of Umbrella's haywire
experiments and acquires a new weapon; the Charged Particle Rifle, specially
designed for T-virus infected beings, and can penetrate electrical charges. He
confronts Morpheus and in the following battle, Bruce is the victor, but it's
not over yet...

Morpheus mutates, this time, into something that would remind anyone of the
G-Type V from RE2. Following Fongling's instructions, Bruce makes his way down
the mazelike corridors until he reaches the control room, which is locked.
Morpheus is upon him again, attempting to crush him with his bulbous mass, but
Bruce pushes him back with everything he has. He puts a bullet into Morpheus'
exposed head, and that triggers an unstable mutation. Bruce and Fongling
escapes the base by using a submersible and the base is completely destroyed.
Bruce surprises Fongling by showing her that he knows a little Chinese and in
response she kisses him just as rescue choppers appear on the horizon.

Emo Moments

2009-07-17T12:49:00.002+08:00

Everything never goes according to my plan.
What I've planned since few months before today, all went out of route.
Why does life just gotta be so fucked up for me?
Why cant every just follow according to plan?
Everything is FUCKED UP!!

I passed my driving exam!!

2009-07-13T14:08:00.002+08:00

13 June '09:

Today I had my driving exam. It was kinda funny actually the way it went.
I arrived at the Kepong tracks, and followed through the procedure to get my turn number, and I was number 7 *lucky 7 perhaps? lol XD*
When the exam finally began, we were all directed to a hut (pondok) to wait for our turn, which we go 10 at once. There are 10 cars parked in front of the slope test area.

The first 10 is directed to get ready in the car, so I got up and took car no. 7. I was so nervous, I went and open the passenger's side door XD
1 by 1 the participants tried for the slope and there are few who failed.
When it's finally my turn, I guess I was nervous again because I went up without waiting for the examiner to call for my turn. I went up then was told to go down again to wait for her signal.

So, I waited and I passed the slope with just 1 try =D and so did I on the side parking and 3 point turn. After getting back my test card, I passed it to the JPJ officer who then sat in the car with me to proceed with the on-the-road test.

I adjusted the mirrors, tested the signals, headlights, gear and viper, adjusted my seat but dunno why he marked I didn't check my side-mirrors when I did... maybe I didn't check the passenger side mirror.
I was nervous once again and drove about 1 feet or so without fastening my seatbelt, lol XD After I've fastened my seatbelt I proceed to the main road which I did well just at the last part.
Upon the junction which I would need to take a turn back to the driving tracks, I don't know why but I downed by gear from 3 to 2 and jerked the car... and my marks too...
All in all, I PASSED the freaking exam!!! Woooooo!!! Cheers!!!

Uncharted waters... or so to say

2009-07-10T11:18:00.003+08:00

I'm currently developing a program that integrates with a computer's existing webcam and sound system to develop a motion detector.
I've successfully created a screenshot saving program, or also known as, Desk Watch.
It captures a computer's screen view at every interval which is defined, launched during startup, and password protected.

Now, I'm going more in-depth into video capture.
However, due to the large file which video capturing creates, I would think it's wise to integrate motion sensing into my program as it will then only capture videos if there are any movements. It's redundant to capture still environment anyway.

Once I'm done with this program, it will open new doors of opportunities for my career path and allowing me to not only limit my choice to the software development industry but as well as the mass media industry.

And hopefully one day, I could advance my video/motion capture programs to facial/expression recognition programs, and it would lead me to the security/defense industry. Lol, dreaming XD but it's possible. Cheers!!

Freelance Programming

2009-07-06T14:31:00.004+08:00

I've been wanting to start on freelancing but I'm always so caught up with my life.
Since now I'm thinking about it, I thought "Hey, why not just post it up in my blog to start off".
So here I am, ready to code away!!
I'm an experienced C#.NET and VB.NET programmer.
I do websites too in plain old HTML or even in ASP.NET, although I must admit I'm not that proficient in web-development.

Just send me an email stating the:
- program's objective
- functionality
- and not forgetting, the due date.
and we'll discuss more from there.

Unknown Lifeform in North Carolina Sewers

2009-07-02T13:16:00.003+08:00

Here’s how the unknown life form was discovered: A company called Malphrus Construction was contracted to inspect the sewer lines, which are actually part of a private system owned by York Properties in Raleigh North Carolina.

Malphrus workers were inspecting the nearly 50 year old system with a snake camera that allows them to get a closer look at the inside of the pipes. That’s when they noticed a moving brownish glob near a crack in the structure where roots had intruded. It seemed as though the unknown life form reacted to the light, which also gives off quite a bit of heat.

Most experts dispel the monster alien theory and offer a more rational explanation: the unknown sewer creature could actually be a clump of annelid or tubifex worms. Such worms normally live "in soil and sediment at the bottom and edges of polluted streams." Others have described them as a group of invertebrates called byrozoan.
Well, if it is so common, why is it such a hype now? Weird eh? or maybe... they are just trying to cover it up by telling the public that it's nothing new. Whatever it is, it doesn't look like worm or byrozoan to me.

There does seem to be a consensus that they are harmless, but Raleigh, North Carolina officials don’t seem too concerned because the so-called unknown life-form is in a private sewer system.

[ASP.NET] IIS Mapping & Fixes

2009-07-02T11:59:00.010+08:00

For those of you programmers out there who are chucked to do ASP.NET programming despite the fact that your resume didn't state that you know ASP.NET, and is encountering a problem with ASP.NET. This entry might help you.

I've recently been assigned the company's ex-programmer's ASP.NET project as the programmer has left the company.

Until yesterday, if not mistaken after a Windows update, this problem started giving tons of headache.

If you have ever received an error message on a .NET application that simply stated "Server Application Unavailable" you might find this useful.

The Probable Cause:

Microsoft identified an issue with the MS03-32 Security Update for Internet Explorer security patch and ASP.NET 1.0/2.0 running on Windows XP. This patch can be installed manually or by obtaining recent critical updates from the Windows Update site.

The symptom of this issue is that after installing the patch on a Windows XP machine, all requests to ASP.NET applications running on the local IIS 5.1 web server result in an error message saying "Server Application Unavailable". Requests to remote web servers are unaffected.

This issue only impacts installations running ASP.NET 1.0/2.0 on Windows XP. It does not impact machines running Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003. It also does not impact machines running Windows XP with ASP.NET 1.1 installed.

Please note that this issue is not a security bug with ASP.NET. It does not open up or allow any malicious attacks against an ASP.NET application or server. Instead, it is purely a functional bug caused by the patch itself.

For my case, I'm running a Microsoft.NET Framework v2.0.50727 along with IIS 5.1.
I tried to "Start Debugging" my project yesterday and all I get was a "Server Application Unavailable" error code.

When I went to check my Event Viewer (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer) for the error log, I got this:

The Solution:

Download this batch file and run it. The steps:
1) You must be running as an account with Administrator privileges
2) Double click the fixup.cmd.
3) When prompted, enter 1pass@word as the password.
4) If you have previously custom access control settings or database account permissions for the ASPNET account, you'll need to re-apply these settings now.

If you are wondering what does the batch file does, it does the following:
ile does the following:
1) Stops the IIS and ASP.NET state services
2) Deletes and recreates the ASPNET account with a known temporary password
3) Uses the Windows runas command to launch an executable that creates an ASPNET user profile
4) Re-registers ASP.NET. This creates a new random password for the account and applies default ASP.NET access control settings for it
5) Restarts the IIS service

After running the batch file, run the Aspnet_regiis.exe utility:
1) Click Start, and then click Run.
2) In the Open text box, type cmd, and then press ENTER.
3) At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
In this path, version represents the version number of the .NET Framework that you installed on your server. You must replace this placeholder with the actual version number when you type the command.

Reference: http://www.asp.net/learn/whitepapers/ms03-32-issue/

You can get the version number from your Microsoft.NET Framework directory. For Windows XP it should be located here: "C:\WINDOWS\microsoft.net\framework"

Your problem should be solved by now =) Hope it did helped you out. Cheers!!

[Prototype]

2009-06-22T17:43:00.010+08:00

Official Website

Hey all, I would like to update about my current gaming addiction.
First of all, the game which I am addicted now is called [Prototype] as I've stated in my previous entry.

Why is this game so addictive to me, you may ask.
Well, this game takes place in Manhattan and along with the storyline, you could explore the whole of Manhattan at your leisure as this game is sandbox style.

Best of all is the Parkour skill of the character you're playing.
Jump from rooftop to rooftop, run up a wall or a building, flip and toss yourself around Manhattan while attempting to evade a bunch of military helicopters and missiles.

However, this game is not all about hack and slash. There are times where you have to disguise yourself to infiltrate military installations. Therefore, there's a touch of stealth play in it.

Furthermore, the interesting part is where you gotta gather all of the memories in the Web of Intrigue (WoI from here on). What's the WoI? Well, you play as Alex Mercer who lost his memory after a virus outbreak incident (not gonna spoil anything). Alex Mercer have to consume related NPC to get their memories in order to piece together your lost memories, and you can view it as a video playback.

Here's the gameplay footage in HD (click here to view the normal video if your connection is slow):

P.S.: I forgotten to include body/corpse-surfing. Where you skate along the sidewalk using your victim's body ;)

Current Addiction

My colleague has recently introduced an addictive game to me while we were chatting about anticipated games of 2009.

This game: Prototype -- has totally gotten into me.
It is a free roaming gory zombie human smashing game which will leave a sense of fulfillment and excitement in you.
If you love Devil May Cry, then you'll die for this.

Restaurant City

2009-05-21T11:15:00.003+08:00

Recently, I've been addicted to this game by Playfish called Restaurant City.
My buddy Kevin introduced me to this game long time ago, but I was addicted to Cabal at that time and had little interest in Facebook games.
However, since I've given up on CabalSEA due to the sucky management, I was back on Facebook and was in Kevin's profile.
I noticed his Restaurant City's badge there and I was like "what the heck, just give it a try", and little that I know, here I am now addicted to it. LOL!!
I even influenced my dearie to it, now she's addicted to~
If you're playing Restaurant City in Facebook, please add me up so we could trade ingredients: My Facebook Profile

My 100th Blog post dedication

2009-05-20T10:15:00.008+08:00

Wow.. can't believe I'm now writing my 100th blog post..
anyway, since it's my 100th blog post, I would like to dedicate this entry to my 3 best buddies.

I guess one of the good thing about writing a personal blog is because I could really reflect on all the previous posts and see myself struggling through the times of bitterness and how & what I've learned from it.

I started this blog on April 10th 2007, in total, I've accumulated 2 years of memories in this blog. Although I'm not a really successful blogger but the reason I blog is because it's a place where I can keep my memories and share my experiences with readers.

Throughout this 2 years, I've faced my most difficult moment and when I read back about it, I find it kind of interesting too.
My toughest moment in my life so far was during college where my dad and I wasn't exactly in good terms, partly is due to my stubborn and rebellious nature. However, it's not entirely my fault.

During this toughest moment, is where I found my true friends, which is Martin, Daniel and Kevin. No, in my eyes, they are all equal. It's not just because I mentioned who first or last makes them any less important.

They are the friends who stood by me during my worst moments, and truly understand my situation. They never abandoned me during the time I needed their help. I have to really go back to the past to explain about them.

Not pointing to any specific person or incident, just treat what I'm going to say as a recollection of memory =)

I remember that during college, I was still treated like a kid, being controlled strictly. Daily pocket money of only 5 Ringgit, and some days my parents would purposely drive over to my college just to have lunch with me.

Yes, I do admit that it is kind of embarrassing to have packed lunch in the car with parents in front of the college compound, while my friends and classmates are just passing by in front of the car. However, since I was still dependent on my parents, I have no say over it. The one word that applies is: PATIENCE.

The college I attend to was KDU College. They have this student card where we can debit certain amount of cash into it and use it to pay for food & drinks in the cafeteria. Since my parents found out about that function, they started doing that because they want to prevent me from using the money for cybercafe session or even going out with my friends. Since my pocket money was kind of scarce at that time, Martin, Daniel and Kevin didn't mind spending me drinks or even meals. What else can I say? I made a silent promise that when I have money, I would surely spend them back without hesitation, which what I'm doing now =)

Yes, my parents last time are strict because they kept wanting me to study study and study. All study and no life. Not that I was a fail student, it's just that they want me to get straight A's because my results were either A or B+ which is not good enough. Even going out for a drink at the coffeeshops outside my college area with my friends is prohibited by them.

Therefore, which is during this moment, I found my true friends who I can share my thoughts with and they supported me to get a life, even helped me to get one.

I remember there are moments which they arrange some outings like karaoke or going for game session, they would help me think of an excuse to tell my parents just so I could go, or they would think of some place where my parents can't sneak up on me. Yea, kind of lifeless at that moment. I know my parents doings are for my own good, but at that time, I really needed a life to feel like a normal teenager.

There was this moment, where I couldn't take it with my parents anymore, I blasted them over the phone that they are controlling me over the limit and not giving me a life. I told them I'm not going home and switched off my phone. Kevin and Daniel at that moment was going to catch a movie with other classmates, but because I really needed them to be here for me, they abandoned their movie and came back for me.*

Well, all in all, if it weren't for those difficult moments I've went through during my life, I think I wouldn't be so appreciative towards the people I have and found. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, or could just be plain luck.

*Daniel & Kevin*

Martin's picture is supposed to be here, but he has a 'rule' that prohibits his pictures from showing in any other places other than his own blog =.="

Finally worth it!! or maybe not...

2009-05-12T09:13:00.017+08:00

For the past 1 to 2 months, P1 WiMax has been the worst ISP I've ever subscribe to, and finally after some complaints, they've finally made my money worthwhile.

The line has been a total disappointment for the past 2 months and I could barely connect to the Internet and even if I did get connected, the download/upload speed would be like 300/12 on Speedtest.net

Now, after much waiting, finally I get a connection worth paying for, and I do hope this is permanent, not just some temporary speed boost after my complaints!!

*1.8 Mbps -- this is better be permanent*
*11th May 2009*

I'll be testing the speed for the next few days to determine whether is it a fluctuation or a revolution. Stay tune if you're interested to find out, Cheers~!!

*12th May 2009*

*20th May 2009*

I do not know since when I'm located in Singapore,
but they recommended me to test it there.
All I can say the speed remains impressive.

*21st May 2009*

Yup, it's getting worse, just see the trend.

The connection is just getting worse day after day. This shows that P1 WiMax sucks! Since their connection is based on best effort, I think I'm gonna pay my bills based on best effort too!!

Final Destination 4: Death Trip 3D

2009-05-07T11:23:00.007+08:00

Omg!! Final Destination in 3D!! Serious?!

I've been a huge fan of the Final Destination titles and this 3D better not be a let down!! This is gonna be a whole new level of experience. Imagine that!! Right in your face.

*Final Destination 4: Death Trip*

Plot:
"On what should have been a "typical day at the races" for McKinley Speedway, Nick O'Bannon (Bobby Campo) has a grisly premonition of a race car fatally crashing and sending debris into the stands, gruesomely killing his friends, and causing an overhang to collapse on him.

He awakens, not being able to shake the feeling of how real his vision appeared, he panics, and just in time, persuades the group of teenagers to leave the bleachers. Immediately afterward objects begin to fly into the public as his frightening dream turns into a tragic reality.

Unfortunately for Nick, alongside his girlfriend Lori (Shantel VanSanten) and her best friend Janet (Haley Webb), this is only the beginning. As the survivors begin to die one-by-one in even more terrifying ways than they had originally, Nick must figure out how to cheat Death once and for all before he too reaches his final destination." (Source: Wikipedia)

It's gonna be in cinema August 2009!!

It'll definitely be on my *must-watch* list!!

Coffee -- Does it really helps?

2009-04-22T09:19:00.005+08:00

I've been a coffee drinker since I was 4.
Yea, it's no typo and you didn't see it wrong, Four.
My father's mom first introduced coffee to me and immediately I took a liking towards coffee over chocolate drink.
Ever since then, the number of cups of coffee I consume per day increase along with my age.
At 18, I'm taking in 6 to 8 cups of coffee per day.
However, I've reduced my coffee intake these days because my dear is watching my diet.
So, I'm only taking coffee early in the morning and late at night before I sleep.
I think it has became a routine for me to consume coffee early in the morning, as my mom was a heavy coffee drinker too but she's converted to a green tea-er.
Although coffee doesn't work in keeping me awake but it's what I have to drink to get use in the morning, and also to get me to sleep at night.
Yes, you've read it right, I can't sleep without coffee.

*The Temptation*

Furthermore, it is proven that coffee doesn't keep oneself awake. Check this article out: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6422279.stm
If you're too lazy to read a bunch of text, I'll just copy and excerpt of it here:

"Those who drink a caffeinated drink first thing are no more alert than those who never consume one"

Another reason to consume more coffee is that coffee provides you with antioxidants.

What is antioxidants you ask? Well read this:

http://www.articlesbase.com/coffee-articles/get-healthy-antioxidants-from-your-morning-coffee-701255.html

"Antioxidants help to fight against cancer and to give our bodies other beneficial health benefits. Most antioxidants are found in tomatoes, grains, fruits, and vegetables."

and coffee contains more antioxidants than many other drinks: (same website as above)

"What most people don’t know is that besides it rich taste it also has the ability to provide many healthful antioxidants than most other foods and drinks"

Well, hope this entry has helped out in whatever impression you've had about consuming coffee.

I'm stucked in between.. help!!

2009-04-20T12:36:00.008+08:00

Scenario 1:

- My dear invited me out so Sunway

- She's coming with her bestfriend

- I have no transport, so I called my bestfriend along

- My bestfriend didn't talk to them much

- My dear got indirectly offended because my bestfriend was cold towards my dear and her bestfriend.

- However, my bestfriend and my dear bestfriend later on was talking alot.

- But my dear was still indirectly offended.

Scenario 2:

- Met up with my bestfriend and his girlfriend with my dear.

- Sat in the restaurant.

- Only me and my bestfriend talked.

- His girlfriend and my dear didn't talk at all.

- My dear was indirectly offended yet again now because my bestfriend didn't talked to her.

Base on Scenario 1:

- I've explained to my dear that Martin has high taste of girls.

- Not to say he doesn't talk with not-so-good-looking girls, it is just he takes time to get use to them. He do have some not-so-good-looking girls as friends. It takes time and a few more outtings.

- I tried explaining, Martin's personality is cold. He got alot of enemies in college, I'm sure he himself agrees on that. However, once you get to know him, he's talkative and helpful.

Base on Scenario 2:

- If my dear is angry till now just because Martin didn't talked to her, then I'm sure Martin's girlfriend is pretty angry with me too because I didn't talked to her as well. However, Martin's girlfriend is not, and I don't think she even cares whether did I talked to her or not because it is such a small matter.

I don't know how did I sounded like in the way I explained above, but I didn't explain with sarcasm or in any angered mood.

I'm using a calm tone expressing my explanation above.

I can't do much if my dear and Martin won't want to settles things, because I don't control them.

But I just want to tell both of you that I'm very stressed-out because of this, and I don't need extra stresses on-top of my already stressed work life.

Hope both of you understand, eventhough I know Martin is gonna say my stress is small potato, and my dear is gonna think that she has the right to be angry with Martin if she wants to.

I just need both of you to know that I'M REALLY STRESSED. I beg both of you to work things out...

This is how the day after my birthday is like...

2009-04-15T13:58:00.001+08:00

It's my birthday yesterday.. I took the initiative to organize properly so I could make time to spend it with my beloved Dydy and also my best buddies and my mom's side family.

My birthday was on April 14th (Tuesday, yesterday).

So, I spent my time with my dear by staying over at her place on Monday night so that I'm able to celebrate it with her the moment the clock strikes 12am, April 14th.

She was happy, I was happy.

I spent April 14th with her till around 6.45pm before I had to be home to get ready for the dinner which my aunt already pre-arranged for me a week ago.

So, I was hoping that my dear would be understanding and be happy on my behalf since she and my aunt have a some complication.

I went out with my aunt, and surprisingly my aunt also invited 3 of my best buddies...

So, for me, I thought that all went well with both sides.

Since after the dinner, I called my dear, she sounds fine to me.

However, today is a different story... sighs...

I don't know why, but my dear seems to be in a bad mood.

She then told me that actually she mind that she wasn't invited to the dinner last night and she even called my 3 best buddies names... sighs...

I just don't understand...

If she wants to hate my aunt or whatever, so be it, because my aunt and her really have some complicated misunderstandings...

but why include my 3 best friends? what did they did?

sighs...

I don't know... I might as well do not have a birthday at all...

I should've wished on my birthday that I do not have a birthday.

Feel it in my shoes.. feel it. Feel what I am feeling today.

Husband Store

2009-04-15T13:56:00.003+08:00

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.

You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch.... You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a niceday!

Please send this to all men for a good laugh and to all the

women who can handle the truth!

PMS Mood Swings...

2009-04-13T17:02:00.002+08:00

Something which have been bugging me most is my dear's PMS mood swings...

I don't know how much patience more do I have to take it occasionally every month, but it seems like during these period of time, she gets agitated easily and I have to apologize uncountable amount of times.

Furthermore, there'll be times of HUGE argument if I run out of patience.

So, what is Menstrual Mood Swings?

here's some of the explanations which I found online:

(source: http://www.34-menopause-symptoms.com/menstrual-mood-swings.htm)

I may not know how it feels to be a girl undergoing PMS but I can assure you nobody can understand what pressure and stress I'm undergoing. Definitely not the average stresses and pressures which normal 22 year old faces. If you say being a student is stressful, to me it's just child's play. How I wish I was stressing about assignment rather than the stuff which I'm stressing about now.

I just hope that my dear would be understanding enough to not show me her colors whenever she gets menstrual mood swings.

P1 WiMax Coverage Abnormalities or Just my luck?

2009-04-13T12:44:00.007+08:00

I've been feeling weird about this.

Recently, P1 WiMax had been undergoing service upgrade.
Sounds like good news? well, not for me.
They say they are expanding their coverage area and so I was hoping that they'll finally cover my area but instead... I got this after my upgrade:

My area is the circled red-part of the map above. The area without coverage =.="

Before the upgrade, the highlighted red-part below wasn't in existance...

Therefore, even after the bloody upgrade, my area is left in a gap between the existing coverage area and the newly covered area... this sucks!! WTF!!

Knowing

2009-04-06T16:35:00.007+08:00

It's been awhile since my last sane entry. Well, I've not much to blog about, just a review of a movie which I've recently watched.

I watched Knowing with my fellow colleauges after our company dinner at 1U and we went to grab this ticket last minute as the Shinjuku Incident was selling fast.

I've heard reviews from viewers and friends that this movie is not bad, so we decided to give it a try.

The sound and video effects were great and I've no complain about it accept the ending, but I would still watch it the second time if given the chance.

This movie holds come truth to it except the predicting the future and ending part. Watch it and you'll know what I mean.

All in all, I would recommend you to watch this movie if you've watch "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and liked it.

The next movie which I'm anticipating and have the same genre as Knowing and The Day After Tomorrow is -- 2012.

I've watched the trailer (2012 teaser trailer) and I'm really eager for it to be released.

There are a few rumors about 2012:

1) It is said that the Mayan Calendar ends in the year 2012, 23rd December, and this show is about what will occur when that happens.

2)There is also a rumor that during December 21, 2012, our Solar System will align with our Galaxy(Milky Way) center.

3) Last but not least, there are prediction that our Solar System's Planet X (a.k.a Nibiru) will make a return to our Solar System causing gravitational disruption. The many facts about Planet X (Nibiru): http://yowusa.com/planetx/

A period of loneliness

2009-03-30T23:07:00.003+08:00

Recently, I've been feeling lonely... I do not mean lonely as in literally but emotionally...

Take last Saturday for instance.. I was supposed to decide whether should I invite my two best buddies to my poolside party, but because there was some conflict between my parents and my best buddies last time.. I was in a dilemma..

So I told Dydy that I wanted to invite them because without them it would be rather dull.. because if they weren't there, Martin and my college friends wouldn't get alone, as my two buddies are something like a bridge connecting them... so I insisted on inviting them.. However, Dydy told me that my parents do not allow me to invite them but then I wondered to myself, why in the first place they asked me to decide whether to invite them or not when they do not want them there... So I tried to sort things out with my parents but ended up arguing with them.. then I thought that my dear would side me and comfort me but instead she got mad at me for arguing with my parents, insisted that I apologize and called me childish and kiddish..

I was deeply scarred by her words.. I felt so lonely that I'm left alone by the two sides whom I thought loved me the most...

Today was another day that I felt that loneliness..

I was chatting with my dear online and asking her about some hotel bookings stuff for our Australia trip in May, but she seems eager to go offline to play her games instead because she said being online on Skype makes the game lag and crash.

So from her messages in Skype I could feel that she's annoyed by me asking about the hotel stuffs and just wanted to offline because she states that she wants to go offline twice.

In the end, she just ended with a "love you, bye".

Normally she would be like "alrite, anything message me on Skype ya" "love you dearie" and etc, you know, those lovey-dovey stuff.. but this time is just like "love you, bye"... So, of course I felt like the game is more important than me... Sigh.. even now as I'm writing this entry... I'm writing this out of loneliness and disappointment.. normally now we would be chatting over the phone or Skype...

Well... I guess I'll just sign off here...

Now I can be sure that I'm not those ah beng / kiddish type that uses foul language when being attacked verbally. Futhermore, I'm being attacked 3 on 1.

My first taste of manual... is a pain =.="

2009-03-17T11:30:00.002+08:00

Today I had my first driving lesson in a manual car. Surprisingly I handled it quite smoothly, only 3 times the car brokedown.

1 time was when I first tried out the clutch.

1 time was when I was up the hill.

1 time was when I forgotten to press the clutch before I break.

What I hate is that there's no power steering, but it was still ok, not too hard to handle.

The clutch part was surprisingly easy. I thought it would be hard to do balancing as I've heard from many people that people normally fail in the 'bukit' part (slope), but to me, it was a piece of cake or maybe my instructor is good.

Well.. I've got 5 more lessons to go before my exam on 30th of this month. Hopefully I'll be able to get used to manual soon as I've drove AMT far too many times and got used to it, lol XD

P1 WiMax

2009-02-24T18:42:00.014+08:00

Today during lunch hour, I went back to my home area for lunch.So happen I saw P1 had a stall set up at the side of the road to promote their service at my area.Upon knowing that my area is now under the coverage of P1, I immediately sign up for the 15-days trial period which doesn't require you to pay even a single cent upfront.

After work (which is now), I came home and tested out the new connection. Although the signal color on my P1 modem shows that it is weak (red), but it was still fast as I only need about 5 seconds to load the login page of Blogger (maybe cache?)

"The P1 RM 99 package comes with a

LAN cable, adapter and the modem."

I took the RM99/month package which is a 1-year subscribtion contract which I have to add-on an additional RM20/month on-top of the RM99/month for the modem for a year, that is if I decide to stick with P1 after the 15-days trial period.

The installation is hassle free, except the fact that they recommend you to place the modem near the window. I find this request quite ridiculous because I do not have any plugs near the window in my room... and furthermore, their power adapter wire is quite short as you could see in the picture above.

You could make this connection wireless by simply plugging the LAN cable which is connected to the P1 modem to a wireless router (as told by the salesman). Well.. so far, my area at Seksyen 17... The connection sucks =( well... to bad for me I guess... since their transmission tower is quite far from me... My say is.. unless your area is listed as a hotzone, don't get it.. Just because the epicenter of the transmission might be near your area, but it doesn't mean you could get blazing fast speed... I'm gonna cancel mine tomorrow unless they can promise me a minimum of 1mb by the end of this week..

=======================================

Test Results (26-02-09):

=======================================

"Test result from P1 Speedometer"

"Test results from Speedtest.Net"

"First Run - I could get 3.8mbps

despite the signal color is red"

"Second Run =.=" I guess

the line is fluctuating.."

I decided to use the P1 yet again even after I ranted about it, as you can see, the screenshots are taken a day after I created this entry. I'm left with no choice but to adhere to P1 service because Maxis has throttled by broadband connection since Maxis only allows a pitiful 3GB/month limit. To my surprise, the P1 connection turns out to be quite fast. I could enjoy a game of Cabal without delays and I could also join various Left 4 Dead games on Garena without severe lagness. One thing I notice about the P1 service is that, the longer you use it, the more stable it becomes.

I stumbled upon this blog while surfing around UCPRO forum, because I was reading my friend's blog in UCPRO. They were discussing about the much anticipated P1 WiMax service. It is very in-depth. So for a more in-depth review of the P1 WiMax service, you can visit this blogger's blog:

Distance...

2009-02-14T12:43:00.003+08:00

I'm beginning to realize that my friends who I treated them as best friends are becoming more distant..

They seldom joke, talk and even care less of my participation in their activities..

And the way they replies me nowadays are all one sentence then done, there's no humour in it like it used to be...

Just because that I'm in a relationship now doesn't mean that I have to be treated this way.. Does it mean that if I want to join them, I have to be single? Doesn't make sense to me..

Aren't friends supposed to accept each other through thick and thin? Aren't friends supposed to be supportive and lend a helping hand when we need them?

Or are friends just there when you are like them?

I don't understand.. I've always been a "once a friend, forever a friend" kind of person and I still am now.. but it seems that my friends are giving me the 'cold-shoulders'...

Commitments

2009-01-05T10:08:00.005+08:00

Well, the long awaited December has passed by... A month filled with public holidays I would say..

I personally enjoyed the month of December because there's little works and managers/superiors are on leave * ;-) *

By the start of this month, January, I'm supposed to be appointed as a confirmed staff in my currect company and hopefully a pay-rise.

Although at my age, most guys would still be study-bound but in my case, I've already started working for my future.

I wouldn't say it's because I cant study or I'm bad in studies.

Ask any of my college friends and they'll proof you wrong if you think I fail in studies.

It's just because some complications occured and now I'm here today. No no, it has nothing to do with my owing anyone money =.=" dont get the wrong idea...

Anyway, I've already been working a year plus. I started off as a Graphic Designer in an advertising firm and found that my interest still lies in programming.

Therefore, I seeked for a job in this sector, as a programmer.

Now I'm a programmer for 3 months already and I'm really happy for this job, because it's flexible and most of all, the people here are friendly and there are no office politics.

I'm approaching 22 years of age this April 2009 and I'm already slowly getting filled up with commitments, although it's not much compared to many people, but it's already alot for my current capability.

I'm gonna get a car soon, which means I've to worry about petrol spendings.

Since I'm gonna be pumping petrol alot, I'm already applying for a credit card *no no, not plat ok!*

That's already a commitment of petrol spendings and credit card bills + annual fees *will try to make them waive the annual fees off =P *

Moreover, I'm already in the process of converting my number into a postpaid line and I'm also sub-ing a line for my dear. Which means extra monthly fees commitment.

*bills bills & more bills*

In total, I have like 3 commitments so far and not to mention I've to give my grandfather pocket money and also contribute to me and my dear's joint account.

To weigh it all, I've quite a handful of commitments.

No wonder adults keep telling us not to be in a hurry to grow up. However, I like the feeling of earning my own cash $$ *ka-ching =P *

Anyway, we all have to grow up someday, as time will not stop.

So, cheers to the New Year and cheers to the many opportunities ahead of us!!

Signing off~

Season Greetings!!

2008-12-22T10:10:00.005+08:00

Hey all, it's that time of the year again where we can feel the cheers and joy of Christmas in the air.

Christmas carols are once again heard everywhere.

It's kind of funny, but I find that my favourite festival o

f the year is actually Christmas because I can really feel the cheer and joy in the air.

It's a kind of really uplifting feeling where I feel like everything is ok.

Anyway, I really hope my company issue me my paycheque as soon as possible because I need to do a few stuff with it and also not forgetting Christmas shopping.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to be a confirm staff of the company by January.

I've recently watched Yes Man in Cineleisure. It was ok but just that there were quite a number of scenes which were cut and the ending was especially "potong" *a.k.a. sucks*

*Yes Man starring

Jim Carrey*

Well, I personally don't recommend watching it in the cinema because of the censorred scences. Therefore, I think it's best to get a DVD

* ;-) you know what I mean* and watch it at home because no doubt, it's quite hilarious.

Other than that, I think the movie Ip man *it's pronounce as yip-mhan, not I-P Man!! and it has nothing to do with Internet Protocol!!* is really great, espeacially the fight scenes and you just gotta watch it with a very good sound system or in a THX hall!!

Additionally, this movie contains a few hilarious part, as in funny conversations and scenes. I really recommend you all to watch it

* =D *

*IP Man starring

Donnie Yen*

Well, nothing much, guess I'll just sign off here. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all who are here, Cheers~!!

Work stress

2008-12-12T10:37:00.003+08:00

Recently... a programmer just resigned from my company...

that leaves me as the ONLY programmer in this company...

I thought that it won't affect me much as I've already have assigned jobs... but guess I was wrong...

just last wednesday and today, 3 person just assigned me with new projects on top of my on-going project...

What I hate most is, these 3 people keep pestering me, "So, when are you gonna finish your current project and start on mine?".. *!@#$#$#%*!* (translate: FUCK OFF!!)

When I asked when are they gonna recruit a new programmer to take over the vacant position, they say "Dunno"...

Sometimes... I'll find myself staring at my workload and compare it to my salary slip... and ask myself "Is this worth it...?"

Sigh... I really hope that they hire a new programmer soon and hope they confirm me sooner... as I really want a salary RISE for the amount of crap I'm doing!! *those shitheads better increase the number on my salary by at least 300!!*

Well, Season Greetings and a Happy New Year =D Cheers~!!

Skin Food Display @ MV

2008-06-24T16:32:00.005+08:00

June 23 '08:

Memoir..

Last night was a very tiring, aching, sticky and smelly (due to excessive sweating =P) night..
I'll start ranting from the moment I entered office~

My boss asked me to un-crumple a roll of paper stream and I looked at her with wide eyes~ because the stream was about 10 meters in length~
but what can I do.. so I started un-crumpling the stream~ It took me two whole hours to do it =.="

Then there's practically nothing to do other than waiting for the delivery van workers to come to transfer the Skin Food props to MidValley~
After the van workers came, I hang around the office for awhile to wait for my boss and colleagues for dinner~
After dinner me and Daniel went to 1U to waste some time at the arcade while waiting for 10.30, so that we could fetch our boss and head to MidValley to do the display setup which is in the North Court~

We started to place and decorate the display case with the props we brought and with the products the client brought~
It took us a whole four hours, from 11.30pm till 3.30am to finish it with a satisfying outcome for the client~
Actually we could be done with it fast if it's not for the client~
"oh, it's too dull", "it's too cluttered", "it's too empty", "it's this", "it's that"~ Pay so little wanna request so much~ bunch of kiam siap ppl~

During the process of decorating the display case~
There's this weird space-like sound coming from the inside of MidValley but dunno where is it from~
So when my boss and the clients went out for a smoke, I went to look around for the sound, and I found it =P it's actually the palm reading machine thing~
So I just switch it off and peace at last =P

*starting to decorate the display case*

*finally~ done decorating, four hours later*

Friends~

2008-05-07T14:13:00.005+08:00

Dear Memoir,

Just now, I was just thinking of friends as a subject.
I used to have a group of great friends hanging out together for basketball and 'yam cha' session.
and I realize (long ago not only lately) that the 'group' seems to be thinning...
some friends moved on and new ones joins in...

When I msg them or sms them, they'll either reply "Hey yo man! Long time no c", dat's all... =.=" or no reply at all...

When the old ones moved on... it hurts knowing that we wouldn't see them as often anymore...
when the we meet new friends, we hope they'll be our next 'great group of friends'...
but when reality hits... we'll realize that we only have a handful of real friends...

recently, apart from my 3 best buddies, I've met 3 new friends thru d business brat (Martin). These 3 new friends are, a fatty producer (Joe), a retarded ninja (John), and a poisonous venom (Jian Hong). *Nicknames created courtesy of the business brat.*

to sum it up, we have 3 jokers joining our group and it doesn't seems that bad. at least we're getting good laughs every time we all meet up. Thanks to the presence of the retarded ninja, we have someone to joke about =P *thanks John*
aren't we bad? =P *note: no emotions or feelings were hurt during the meet up =P*

as the business brat seems to be retiring from speeding, I'm losing interest in flooring the pedal too... it's also because I want keep myself safe, so I can be with my 'someone' (Mart, I know u're either laughing or puking =P I know u well)

Anyways, cheers to my 3 best buddies and those 3 jokers =P

Lame Entry~

2008-04-10T13:11:00.002+08:00

to be a more responsible person, to be mature~
to be more respectful n more respect for others~
n of coz, dat also mean if u broke d law, u'll get sued in court like an adult~
u're ain't a juvenile anymore!! wake up!!
