Hari Raya Puasa complications

29 09 2006

Fasting month for our malay countrymen…Went to Giant today… They looked like they are going to die… I don’t think it is really that painful… hehe… anyway, this has affected the whole country…dun think its a good idea for everybody to fast at the same time….. should take turns mah… so as to not affect productivity… But its their culture, so I shouldn’t make unnecessary comments…. Haha





One more week to exams… no need to attend school for 2 days

29 09 2006

no need to go to school on the days for science and lit… fun… can sleep later… Tired!!! eng keat got little bit er …. “oversensitive” <– see how kind I am… hehe. wanted to say mad… But I prefer to believe that there are other reasons to justify his actions… Was doing my math worksheet when aldred told me to do an action. I did it and asked him “like this a??”. Eng Keat saw and charged over, ramming me and catching me off guard. Making me fall… Hahahahahahaha… sorry, cant resist the temptation to laugh. And at this time, Mr Lee came in. Stood there and stoned for very long. then told Eng Keat to see him after school. Dunno what happened… what triggered the burst of violence in Eng Keat. He’s normally fairly kind and mild-tempered… Luckily I broke the fall, or else an aggragavation of my back injury is assured. haha.





Exemption List Out!!!

25 09 2006

Yeah!
Exemption list is out. No surprises, I have already predicted that I will be exempted for Litererature, Science and Chinese<– They prefer to call it “high”. Haha.
So I don’t have to go to school on the day Lit is tested. I only skipped one day… I think Ian has got the most exemptions. Anyway, I missed Math by a little. “too lazy to do ACE” as Mr. Lee put it. True. Must buck up next year.
Mid-autumn Festival is approaching, just after the English exams on Friday. Guess I will go home for the festive celebration.
By the way, the issue of counterfeit software is not only in the library. Saw many Windows Genuine Advantage banners glaring out at me when I enter the com lab. Quite sad. Not really proud of it. They should do something about it…





Wealth vs. Love

24 09 2006

OMG
can’t read the book for two days…damn…” The Rule of Four”
Good story. Also bought a book titled “Mafia”. Interesting history account of the Mafia in Sicily, New York and Chicago. Maybe will do some research on this subject. Or maybe the subject I put down in my research proposal… Project oppoturnity.

Saw a ridiculous thread in JBtalks, asking whether you will leave your gal/boyfriend for 50000000 dollars…What’s the use of money without love? You won’t even be in the mood to spend the money. Spend on yourself? Nobody does that. And you have nobody to spend it on… What’s the point then? You don’t need excessive money! You even run the risk of being the victim of crimes like robbery, theft, kidnapping and blackmailing! If you have enough money to get by, its enough. If you have so much money that you don’t have to work to earn it, then your life will have one aspect of enjoyment and outlet less than others. Work is not pure torture. Regardless of what some may think, work is essential for out well-being by taking up time that will otherwise be used to ponder on things that will not have an ending! You will only feel more stressed and depressed that way…





succeeded in the system setup of Ubuntu Dapper Drake Linux

24 09 2006

Done!
Good compability. User-friendly software support and good GUI. Can share files with windows users as formats of spreadsheets, word documents and presentations are the same. I ordered 10 copies from the site for free, gonna deliver to the boarding school in 4 weeks. link to the homepage. For those of you who know me and are interested for a change in your OS. Contact me and maybe I can save you the time and trouble of downloading. You get free OS, free office programs that support Microsoft Office formats in just one CD-ROM. Good Deal actually.





successfully burned iso of linux ubuntu desktop

23 09 2006

yeah!
finally burned the iso. will install soon, if good then maybe will post a message on the psb so that can suggest the school use this os. its open source and free. so the school technicians can modify and twitch the software to suit our needs. I think this is a good idea… At least better than using counterfeit software…





Malay ACE done!!!!

22 09 2006

Finally finished constructing the humungous poster for Malay ACE.Gave it to Cikgu Tan and she said “Wah, Mengapa Banyak Ruang Kosong?”. Dunno how many points will she give me, I only have 5 out of 15 now… need 10 more. fortunately, I still have a laporan. 2 actually.

Back in Malaysia now, trying to install a K-based Linux OS. Free of charge… looks quite good. I am not happy with the scenarion of seeing the Windows Genuine Advantage notification on the library computers. Maybe I can suggest the school to use Linux if i find it good. Open source





Nearly woke up late on Wednesday

21 09 2006

Nearly woke up late on Wednesday. Slept till bout 7am. Luckily Cheng Kiat woke me up. By banging my bed. Haha. woke up very Quickly. Effective is the word. i already was late for school one time, dun wanna repeat it. Although Mr Jeffrey Lim is in Vietnam or China or Cambodia or The Phillipines or some other “ulu” place. He’s always at soem far corner of the earth “recruiting students” as he put it. But the one and only great malaysian government always call it “poaching our talents”. Recently, I even heard a Foon Yew High School teacher said that. They, for one should know better.

Singapore doesn’t even take much interest in students attending Malay- medium secondary school or “SKs”. They just “help” the neglected Chinese school students.
For example, the Foon Yew High School directly across the causeway was forced to move its “border” inland if they want to expand their school structure… Once again, How absurd.





Cant find Mr. Cheng… Remedial is funny…

20 09 2006

Cant find Mr Cheng today although I went to the staff room first thing after my remedial, around 2pm. He’s not there… Hope to find him tommorow. The remedial teacher whose name according to Cikgu Tan consists completely of Sanskrit didn’t even show up. Just told Adrian-The Great and Efficent Remedial Rep.-to give us a comprehension paper and told us to complete it and submit it today… Nice essay, but the questions are pretty tedious. Second or third to complete it. First was Justin. Wish to change to Library Club or whatever its called so that I don’t have to put up with the perpetual pain in my back while seniors and peers take turns sapping my physical energy and throwing me without mercy… MUST go to see Mrs Lee of the library club and Mr Cheng latest by tommorow… Mr. Sung told me explicitly to “get it done by this week”…





Malay ACE!!! and ……

19 09 2006

Oh my god!!!
Malay ACE deadline is on 22 September…
I had thought it is due by next Friday until today… When Cikgu Tan “clarified” it. Anyway, i reckon’ i will be in deep trouble, either way…
all that’s left to do is to quickly come up with some kind of idea to replenish the “dwindling treasury” of my Malay ACE
One good thing I “accomplished today is the fact that I’ve finally gone to see Mr Sung ‘bou my transfer of CCA. Doc says that my back injury may be aggragavated if I continue the streneous judo training. Well, streneous might just be the understatement of the week… Anyway, hope that I can swiftly transfer to another CCA, preferably one that has nothing to do with impact exercise… Or else god knows what would happen to my back. Maybe I will end up like Han Loong?? Haha
Not ,uch time nowadays to visit JBtalks… Very busy with the EOYs roung the corner and some very intresting events around me. Names will not be mentioned… so those busybodies out there, dream on! HAHAHA
Just found out the power and attractiveness of some juicy gossip. Those people who are seemingly addicted to games are made to talk about that issue… Well, only temporarily… BUt it is quite an achievement anyway.
