    26th September 2007 - Burning Day

    Today 26th September 2007

    08:50am: *knock.. knock.. knock..* URGGHHHH, it’s “daily morning knock” from my mum to ask me to go work.

    09:00am: Sitting in-front of PC lazily. Turned it on, check out what have been downloaded thru out the night and wanna move them into my treasure box (External hard disk).

    OH-MY-FREAKING-GOD!! The PC was not able to read the drive. I was panicked, VERY panicked. Just imagine if you are losing your 250GB collections. How would you react?! I’m crossing fingers hope it’s my PC problem. Hence, I brought along the harddisk to the office.

    09:30am: Reached office, OH-MY-FREAKING-GOD! Same case, office PC was not able to read my harddisk as well.
    09:35am: Changed MSN nick to “BO MOOD! My 250GB gone!”

    10.10am: Tot my Head of IT friend @ MingKai might able to help out. He told me it might be the cable problem. I was a little released.

    11:00am: After I discussed with my office IT personnel, Rudy. I was convinced that it should be the cable or casing problem. I was convinced myself it’s not the harddisk corrupted. I juz hope my data will be still remained.

    11:30am: Drove out to the nearest Equine park JayaJusco, found an IT shop inside. To find out the exact problem, the technician tested with 101 devices, assembly + disassembly whatever!!!

    12:30pm: After an hour tested, he shook his head and told me “tak boleh la, ni memang kena masuk kilang.” My heart was totally smashed. I understand that I must send the hard drive to Low Yat (place where I bought). Hence, I went home find the receipt so that I can straight go to KL town after work.

    Guess, I just had the best-day-of-my-life. Problem never comes on 1!!!  I lost the receipt.!!! Muahahahahaaaaa......

    01:00pm: Only recalled that another good friend, Frederick is working in Western Digital. Quickly called him to find out the warranty and helps. Got to know tat the Western Digital Service Center is far based in Singapore. zzzzzzZZzz....

    01:10pm: Called the service center number given by Fred, the helpdesk lady asked me passed the faulty drive to the shop even though I do not keep the official receipt. It’s tracked by the serial number. I was released tiny bit; at least I wouldn’t waste extra money on the hard disk again. But the SAD news is ALL the data inside will be scraped off, ALL!!!! It’s same goes scraped off my heart too.

    01.30pm: Received an email from Buddy, DD from Brisbane with the subject of “sienzzz”!! YES!! I’m freaking “SIEN” today!! Urrgghhh….

    03:00pm: No giving up, tried the hard disk again.. and again and again…

    06:30pm: Back @ home, gave up trying the hard disk, I decided to disassembly the drive, take out the disk and plug into my PC directly for the last attempt. Since gonna send it for repair anyway.

    06:48pm: Rion sent me a SMS “My condolences to ur mistress (ext hard disk). May all her souls (250GB data) rest in peace. :-) *GOZILLA PISSED*

    07:00pm: Chang.. Chang.. Chang.. my last attempt WORKED!!! Finally it’s detected!! But it comes with another problem which where & how should I store this 250GB?! At first I was thinking to burn them out with my CD burner, but on the second thought and if do the maths, 250GB / 700MB x 5mins per piece = 27++hours to complete the entire project. HOLY COW!! I drove out to The Mines Shopping Fair, I bought a DVD burner + 100 blank DVDs, totally cost me 200bucks.
    08:00pm: Plugged in the DVD burner and start the Burning Project. Eating dinner at the same time.

    09:14pm: Mingkai called “Lai bo?” (Signature opening for asking to DOTA). I gave up DOTA tonight and continued burning.

    10:00pm: Listening MP3 while burning.

    11:00pm: Took a break, dog-feeding and burning.

    12.10am: Nothing to do except burning.

    01:13am: Blogging this and still burning.

    02:00am: Sleeply, Tired, Sick of burning but still burning..............

    Cute confession

    I was out with fren last night, we were stuck in the *holy crap* massive traffic jam in one of the Jalan in town…No surprise, the efficient Malaysian police officers doing ‘spot check’ again… but it was a pretty good opportunity for both of us to chit-chat. As we have known each others for years but yet to have any ‘deep’ personal talk. I started off with my stories-sharing..*bla bla bla..* and continue with his.. and we both were juz like tat spent more than 2 hours in the car meaning we’ve stuck the same duration on the road. *Thanks to police officers again, whut the…* He recently juz started a new relationship. I learned that his love confession was amazingly *CUTE*

    I think it’s an effective confession to your love one.. they both were crushing on each others for sometimes.. and came to a night.. my fren finally braved out his feeling..

     

    G: Mmm.. from today onwards you are my other half oledi ar..

    J: Mmm.. errrrrrr….(silent for 3 seconds) OK geh…*shy*

    G: OK la.. You are my baby from today onwards..

    J: Mmm.. like tat also can ar..

    He had the happiest smile on the face ever

     

    Although the confession was pretty short but it’s was very cleaned and straight forward, comparing with those without-ending-hesitate experiences. Love it!!

    亲爱的

    有位男孩很爱女孩,把他当宝一样的捧在手里,
    下雨是,男孩总是把雨伞尽量撑在女孩的身上,而自己身上湿了却笑的很甜,女孩很感动,也喜欢男孩这样的宠着她.
    那天,他们一起去散步回来,路过一个工地,突然一快碎石从上面掉了下来,男孩赶紧用身体包住女孩,
    可是突然的男孩将女孩的身体背转过来,自己倒在了地上,女孩重重的摔在他的身上,而石头正好砸在女孩的额头,血慢慢的流了出来,
    女孩哭着跑回家,她真的很失望...
     
    男孩给他打电话,他没接就把手机关了,把自己关在房间里痛哭,直到被敲门声惊醒,她妈妈告诉他,
    男孩被一根钢筋刺穿了肺部,失血过多离开了人世...
     
    她疯了一样跑到医院,男孩躺在白色的病床上,手里紧紧的握着手机,
    上面写这这样一条短信:“亲爱的,当我看到地上的钢筋时,我已经没有办法为你挡住石头了,亲爱的,痛吗?”女孩抱着男孩的尸体痛哭...
     
    好好珍惜你爱的人,不要等失去了在来珍惜
    I received a sms from my ex today. I found it very touching. - 24 Sept 2007

    Survivor

    Waited for 4months and 8days, finally my favorite TV show will be aired starting today again, and that is Survivor.

    Survivor - China is the 15th season of the reality television series Survivor. The show was announced by Jeff Probst at the end of the live reunion show for Survivor: Fiji. Since then I was very anticipating of this. This to be the first full American television series to be filmed entirely within China.

     

    Many aspects of Chinese culture and history have been included in this season. The show started with a Buddhist ceremony, and a 100 ft-tall replica of a historic temple was used for Tribal Council. Each tribe received a copy of The Art of War by Sun Tzu. As stated by Probst, "Survivor is a war" and "The book deals with leadership and how you defeat the other tribe. It's interesting how much it plays into the game all the way through." The show will have "unprecedented access" to several historical Chinese monuments, including the Shaolin Temple and the Great Wall of China. Woosh!! My nerves are making me very exciting about it.

     

    The "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast" slogan used in previous season's logos has been replaced by Chinese characters. The characters translate to "compete in intelligence" (比智慧), "compete in skill" (比技巧), and "compete in endurance" (比耐力). Can't wait.. Tak boleh tunggu..

    Friendship & My Friends

    My friends around me always told my network is pretty wide like Maxis = many friends. I thought for a sec, I guess maybe some people might just presume that from my appearance & attitude. But the fact is i'm friendly. Embarrassed

     

    It’s almost mandatory that you will save your FRIEND’s contact details into your cell. TODAY I checked my contact usage. I have 288 in SIM card memory and 345 in Phone. Out of which, they are taxi hotline, car workshop, credit card centers, karaoke and around 50 other non-friend numbers.

     

    How do you know you've found a friend? To me, I will consider the person as friend when I’m ready to talk to the person about yourself.. in short, TRUST. Without hesitate, dictionary again..

    Friend = A person you know well and regard with affection and trust

     

    I did a search in my contact list again, i searched carefully. I juz realized there are only a few persons that I would like to share my personal stuffs. There was once a friend told me, "You don't need to have many friends; TRUE FRIEND you only need ONE!"

    I have a 亨第幫 @ LunChais Gang - 5 of us. How many 12-years-friend you can have in life? Maybe you will tell me, “I got many ar!”; Ask yourself again, “How many of them are true to you?” If your answer is still remained the same, then the fact is either (a) YOU ARE SUPER GREAT or (b) YOU ARE CHEATING URSELF! We’ve known each others for around 12 years. In mathematic, we have spent 50% percent of the lifetime together up-to-date. But with the age are growing up; our distances (physically & mentally) between each others are also broad-ing up. The chances and frequency that we are meeting each others are getting slimmer and lesser. The fact is everyone has their personal life & started their own career.

     

    Somehow rather I’m still got this buddy – Gimmy aka Mingkai who accompanying me everyday. We used to do things together - basketball, schooling, Mamak, tuition, movie, K.O.F (indoor & outdoor) and many many things.. Thanks to the technology, we are still messaging thru the online messenger everyday and we both have a same addiction, DOTA!! *pai seh* and NO LIE, we are good partner in dota game too! Pudge + Techie or Mirana + Luna *HOLY SHxT* I know this fellow since I was primary school.. we started with hating each others, slowly adapted each others personality and finally became good friends. He is pretty straight forward person. I always assume that he is only has YES or NO in his mind which this is a good and also bad about him. If you can imagine an A.I robot, he most probably looks like 1; and with the robot behaves, he doesn’t fake his feeling, he is very truthful *at least in-front of me*, I am very comfortable to have him as a friend.

     

    I have another good buddy named DD. *not the Dexter’s DeeDee; just DD*. He is the very first buddy that I have. Our family backgrounds are very contrast, but I’m very blessed that he never looks down on me and be my friend sincerely. When you were young, you wouldn’t understand whut is friend means. You would just feel the bonding, and this bonding had kept us very strong. I’m trying to recall when was the last time we fought, but the fact is I couldn’t remember any. *please tell me if you do, DD* It’s difficult to meet someone who has the right chemistry with you. We both always know whut each others have in mind. *Trust me, it’s creepy!!* Sadly, he has moved to to study and continues his career in Brisbane. If not, guess we would have a lot of fun..

     

    Alvin Lee, my gang tai lo. Why tai lo? Coz he is slightly older and he is high intelligence & logical sense. I learnt pretty a lot from him especially from his speaking skills and E.Q. Beside this, he is also manly & high egotism, but he never siu-hei (petty attitude), he doesn’t hate the person more than a day. *maybe because he is forgetful* He started many happening stuffs for the gang.. example: ICQ, mp3, X-Men, Playstation, Star Wars, Neopets, CounterStrike, Dota and etc etc. Without him, guess my life will turn into “Kampung Story”!! This fellow has another talent, Arguing. *Opss, Debating!* He doesn’t mean & bitching around but if happened that if u ter-press his button, you should have dead under his saliva. You either will just like or hate him.

     

    Last member, WeeKuan aka Wosip. He had a big fight with the gang member lately, and he quitted the gang forum, since then I am losing his news. However, there is nothing good about him anyway. (Wosip, if you happened to see this, I’m just joking) LMAO!!!

     

    Beside the old-time pals, you will also meet some other people along your life journey. The road can’t be just all the way smooth. Maybe once awhile you right turn, you will find another highway, WOOHOO!! Or Opps! worst, you will get into a dead end. No doubt, I’ve met few 'dead-end' friends in my life, but no worry, as long a you know how to make U-turn, you will back to your smoothly highway.  

     

    Thru a friend’s recommendation, i met my chum – Terence. He is the combination of DD + Alvin. I believe he is equally or even higher E.Q than Alvin. Just wonder what will happened if I put him and Alvin together in a room for a day. We were immediate clicked after few times met and since then we been joked around, for every single things. And also I suspected he has Professor X power, he read my mind most of the time. How do you know you've found your good friend? When you are ready to talk to the person about anything, even though he/she already knows everything about you. We shared everything: office stuffs, friends’ politics, relationship problems and anything u can think of. He is hell a lot of FUN.. His world is 24x7 under a movie camera. He turns everything into a drama and he makes the world greatest jokes!

     

    Dramatically, Jason ran into my life in last year Oct *or maybe earlier*. We knew each others from an Internet social network website. He found me randomly from juz clicking from Internet. After we chatted couple of times online, I found him very funny and nonsense. I asked him for a free invitation movie by another friend who working in magazine company. Since then, he has glued *Super glue* to me until now. He is a “friend-always-first” type person. I felt guilty towards him bcoz I rejected him for most of his hang out invitations, but of coz he never sui-hee and put this in mind.

     

    A world without a friend, what would it be? It would be like a world without water, something you need.. 

     

    I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me.. I'd like to be the help you've always been glad to be; I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day, as you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way." Relationships come and go, but friends will last a lifetime.
