Last Class of the Term

Just had my last class of the term today........







and somehow I am not feeling all so excited, yes though I am looking forward to the holidays, but biggest fear now would be the following Wednesday where I have my final exam... and that isn't getting me excited, why???

Cause it's my Greek Language Exam...

If I fail this, then I won't be able to graduate this year and have to stay in for another year, and I think that would surely drive me crazy nonetheless... quite a scary thought if you were to think about it... maybe cause all along I felt like I'm an average student that doesn't fail, neither do I get an A too... but suddenly failing a course gives me a big smack on the head...

But I guess it's a good lesson to force me to work hard for this exam... I mean... I gotta give it my all, and though I still stare at the Greek exercises and feel all so blur, but somehow it's still a battle going inside me

Will I pass Will I fail??

don't know.... either way is to study hard and do my best la, if I pass, praise the Lord and stuff, if I fail, I guess my best wasn't enough o.o

then again I've still got till next Wednesday to make something of myself ~~ urrrrgh........ I'm gonna do my best, get it over with, and abuse my coming two week holiday till it can almost kill me!!!!

First thing, gonna abuse the PS3, and play so much I'll have panda eyes that gets so big it turns my face black!!! But then again.... I've already completed quite a number of games already and it looks like I'm running out of games soon... now I'm just working hard to get a 100% completion, and to get all the trophies in the game to acquire that Platinum trophy to show off....

did you know that people online can see your trophies??? =)

Although it doesn't help much in life to make you a better person, and it's a complete waste of productive time, but I guess that feeling gives you wonderful bragging rights of the moment?? But we'll forget about it a few years later o.o

then again.... 2011 is a crazy year.... with so much new games released... oh gosh....

they have alot of RPG titles by NIS though.... this is one of them that looks nice~~ even though I have no idea what it's all about~ XD
Along with Vanquish, though it's a 2010 game, but I haven't played it yet!!!
Marvel vs Capcom 3.... darn.... but if I were to get it now it'll be a lonely game because I currently still have only one controller at the moment... hohohoho XD
But then again still waiting for my Marvel vs Capcom 2 to arrive~ just waiting... waiting
I know I'm not a fan of racing games, to me they are boring... but I only play Need for Speed titles... why??? I have no idea... maybe cause of these versions that you can play both the role of a cop and an illegal street racing that makes it interesting???? And all the fakeness of running into a street pole and watching it snap off like a twig, and outrunning cops and stuff... gives you that odd kinda adrenaline XD

then comes Disgaea 3.... you know it looks really awesome in HD??????? But I haven't even completed 1 and 2 on my PSP yet.... oh gosh -_-
Not to mention 4 is just released recently but still in Japanese.... but the characters are so interesting...
like the half-transformed Prinny... but honestly it's just like cosplaying XD
sigh... then come the most awesome game... Yakuza 4.... it was just released recently, and I just finished my Yakuza 3... wanna get this.... but.... it's around RM150... can you believe it?!??? 150!!!

Not to mention the other games too are above the RM100 line.... crap wei......

If you ever see me in poverty you can understand where the money went -_-"

We're paying on the hundreds and in US the people are just paying like US60 max and they are complaining it's too expensive........ oi......

sigh... so much games, so little time....

then again i think I have went off topic majorly -_-"
gotta go back to study before I die.... and then those dreams of playing would never come true... sigh...

keep me in prayer ya, I really need to pass this subject~~ greek isn't easy...

Internet Speed

Gimme a fast internet, and I'll show you what I can do in an hour








Malaysian internet speed... one of the main reasons why we are still considered a third world country is when you log onto the internet.. of course if you're lucky, you could see an internet download speed of maybe 20-60KB a second, and when it goes to 100KB plus it feels like a miracle!! But then it rapidly drops back to sometimes below 10KB per second..
sometimes it feels like you can die waiting for that similar program to finish download.... I know I downloaded a 7GB file and today it's only done... yeah I started it last month -_-"

Kinda frustrating you know?? that we are so behind times that even 20KB a second can make me happy, while other people are enjoying a few hundred KB per second downloading speed in the overseas... where they could download a whole movie in less than 10mins while we have to take a few days to achieve that...
Sure Saudi is enjoying a slightly faster internet speed than us... roughly now I'm only beginning to see a little improvement in the 4MB/S speed, and we just only released it not too long ago which is rather sad...
and where those other people in the overseas is enjoying like 10 times the speed... TEN TIMES!!! UWARRRGH!!!!!
sure... we've just released a new thing called unifi... and alot of news is going around that they have a rather gay internet speed of a few hundred KB per second...

but of course the price is rather gay too.... and the cheapest package would limit to around 60GB a month... 60?? With such an internet speed I'll finish it within a week -.-"

then again we didn't get it for our house yet... cause I think the two year contract is rather suspicious to my father, since this is Malaysia too, not surprising if they suddenly shoot down the internet speed and you're stuck for two years... sigh la wei -_-

but ever since unifi was up, we who are using the normal ones are experiencing a really, really slow connection speed, so slow I even had to think twice before downloading a 20MB file because that might take a long time with an internet speed that can go up to 500bytes a second... yes, bytes!! not even a single kilo yet!!!!
either way my cousin got it, and I tried it today.... oh gosh this really is gay... 500KB per second was like a red sea parting before my very eyes... and yes I could get this 177MB file downloaded within a few minutes, where else it would take a whole night to do it in my house -_-"

what file is it??? Update for my PS3 lo, not sure why they keep on updating the firmware though, and downloading it with my PS3 just doesn't do justice -_-"

either way I abused it to the best of my hour when I was there, got to download lots of stuff~~ quite an achievement =)

then now I'm now back home to a normal internet speed... sigh, not so fast but... can't complain, just gotta be happy that I can at least go online rather than searching the whole place for a signal =p

Did They Deserve It?

Did they deserve it??






recently there has been a video going around Facebook, it had a title that sort of said that why Japan deserved to die, and other titles saying that the sea nature strikes back in revenge to Japan, etc....

of course as angry as I was, I had to get my facts right before making any further comments... so as much as I hated it, I sat down and watched that whole video... and yes, I can agree it shows one of the cruelty of Japanese people when they killed the dolphins like that, but that whole video was a video telling people to rise up against all these cruelty against sea creatures... not a video saying that this is why Japan deserved to be hit by a tsunami...

and people were commenting and agreeing on how true that video is, people commenting all over saying that they deserve to die because of what they did to the dolphins, that because in history when they killed countless people, they all deserve to die a slow and cruel death, and because they abused nature that's why nature stuck them back and killed them all... and all the comments bearing so much hate in it...

but I think the worse comment I've read was said that "they deserved it!!"


.........did they??


was it because of a minority of people who killed dolphins...
that Japan was hit with a 8.9 magnitude earthquake followed by a tsunami
that the things that people worked hard for were all destroyed in a blink of an eye....

and it's not just the houses, it's not just the buildings, it's not just the cars and the technologies that were lost... so were the lives...
the lives that belonged to people who loved them...
the lives that people are still endlessly searching for...
the lives that people would cry for when they find out the painful truth that they could not be found....
did they deserve it??

There were far more worse pictures you can find about the earthquake, some so bad I couldn't even look at it again... but I really salute those people who have the guts to point their camera at a person in such sorrow, and yet take a picture... I really do... I can't even imagine taking a picture like that ever, but then again... we really do need people like this, with pictures like these to really open our blind eyes to really see what's going oyou know.... I feel my body shaking as I'm writing this, I can say I would've even broken out in tears already if I wasn't trying to hold it back... but what has our world become?? In the midst of people's brokenness, in the midst of the pain and sorry, in their moment of losing someone they love, and yet we have people going around saying that "they deserved it"

I mean.... is that even right to say?? Or have we begun to lose our humanity already?? Have we begun to lose what is that feeling of sorrow, compassion, shame, or even love??

Sure there's no doubt that in this world there are bad people, really, really bad people... some whom even I agree that they deserved to be dead, but how about the innocent? How about those who had nothing to do with any of these?? How about a guy who was living an honest life all along and at a split second his family was taken away from him?? Did they deserve it??

We all have to pay for the consequences of our sins someday, but as much as you and me, and everyone on this planet earth.... we all deserve the right to live, the right to be alive, as much as you need air to breathe, the guy beside you deserves the same right to breathe and stay alive...

hmmmmmmm.......

this goes beyond just animal cruelty, this goes beyond killing dolphins... if you consider that a reason for all Japan to die... we deserve every single bit of it too... how about our country too??
where we have corrupted people, snatch thief, killing, bribery, you name it... if you ask me it's almost the same, don't we deserved to be invaded and killed by people of other countries too?? Don't we deserve an equal punishment as the others??

I'm not laying a curse on anyone here.... but I just want to say that the same right we deserve to live, the same right belongs to everyone else, as much as we deserve kindness and compassion, so do they... this isn't a time to hate, but a time to love...

so before we make a comment online, I think we've gotta think about what we are going to say again and again before clicking on the "comment" button... I know I've learned it the hard way, and neither of us should be called a fool for making some bad comment like that every again...

This has got to stop......

Pray For Japan

I guess it's the least we can do at a moment like this.....







I think it was a sudden shock for most people, even for me when I heard on the news and all over facebook saying that Japan had an earthquake which was a magnitude of 8.9, then followed by a lot of aftershocks and tsunami strikes...

honestly it's really serious, if you went around youtube looking at the videos, this is one really serious case, the highways splitted into two, fallen buildings, floods, broken houses and such.... it really is a shock that left me totally speechless not knowing what could I do???



But really, in a moment like this I just had to fall down and pray, to pray for Japan, to pray for the other people because honestly... what can we do to help???



Remember the earthquake in Haiti???

which was also massive, so much lives were lost, and homes destroyed...



and honestly if things like these doesn't spark a feeling of pity in your heart, and if it doesn't break your heart... I really wonder what actually goes into the minds and hearts of the people these days...



Today CNN just made Malaysia a little more popular by saying that:



"Local Malaysian newspaper Berita Harian published a caricature in their editor's column today that depicts the popular Japanese cartoon character Ultraman as trying to outrun an incoming tsunami.

The publication has received tremendous criticisms by readers, who accuse the editors as being "inconsiderate and distasteful". Several political leaders have even stepped out and demand a public apology, to which the editors promptly made on their publication's Facebook fan page."

seriously... Malaysian newspapers?? Have you gone insane to do a thing like this!??!?!

even after the earthquake struck Japan, then all around facebook came out very offensive comments going around like:



"Goodbye Japan, I'll miss sushi, at the mean time, it's time to sleep!"



"Japan must've done something to deserve this"



and other stuff like they deserve it because of the amount of people they killed in the war, it happened because they made the movie "sinking of Japan" etc...



have we begin to lose our humanity now...?? when at a split second lives out there are broken, when people's loved ones have died, houses are destroyed.... can you imagine if one day a disaster suddenly happened and everything you had is gone? Your home, your parents, your finance, your car, your computer and friends, and maybe even your favorite pet... honestly speaking it would be too much for me as a person to handle, and yet we have people laughing at them saying that they deserve it... if I had to say something about this I'd say that they that laugh at things like these deserve it even the more than them who are innocent..

I mean.... look at the dead people all over in this picture from Haiti... doesn't this give you even a little sense of pity for them?? I'd say that they all deserve even single bit of a right to live just as you and me...



But really.... sigh.... things like these can really shake up the world, and our own little hearts, it's a hard reality that gives us a tight slap in the face saying that life can just come and go in the split second at the snap of a finger, and our loved ones, at a moment you could be seeing them laughing, and at the next second you could be there watching them bury them six feet under...



I wish I could do something to help though, whether it's in the area of sending some money, heck... if I could even join a relief team to help them out I'd do it!! But what about us who can't help financially or going there?? I'd say... pray for Japan... because they need our prayers..



A nation that's also known as the graveyard for missionaries, is also one nation that needs God as much as you and me... really, pray for them, pray that God will give them the strength to make it through somehow, for guidance and peace, for them to be strong to stand up again, and maybe through this that they would also find God in all of these things... and for me, I think that's one of the best things we can do for them



sometimes we estimate the power of prayer, that it is just all talk and no action... but I'd say that as much as we need workers in the field, we all need a supporting role of prayer warriors to back them up, to know that there's someone remembering them in prayer and also helping behind the scenes...



so.... pray, because you might not know, right now, God might be answering your prayer and also answering a prayer of someone that's crying out over there now

Japan... we're here for you in prayer... God Bless You

A Weekend in Mid Valley

my weekend spent at Mid Valley





it's a weekend, and at a moment like this its where I can come back home, away from college, work, studies and Greek especially, and have a moment just to stretch my body, relax, and spam the ps3 like no one's business...

usually I'd rather not go out on the weekends, even if come to a point of starvation, I'll just head towards the fridge for my survival kit... but either way this weekend I just felt like going out, not asking anyone out, no girl, never a guy, and just go out myself....

but was thinking.... wana go anot wana go anot...?? Till it was around 7:40pm+ then just aiya dress up and went to midvalley... and man was that a bad decision -_-"

well parking isn't a problem because I think one of my spiritual gifting is "parking" because whenever I go shopping I won't have a problem finding a parking, sort of like an empty lot near the entrance.... neato :)
then decided to check out the PC Expo in Mid valley, and man it was packed full... they made it in such a way that you have no choice but to walk through the whole thing before going to the exit, enter through the right and exit through the left... one big huge round

prices.... well it wasn't so much different I guess, wanted to check out some stalls but the people that came running to you passing out flyers and asking you if you wanna buy some stuff just pisses me off =.=

external hard disks were cheaper though... around RM159 for a 500GB one, but then again... just went to Digital Mall today and it was around RM149... they drop fast...
the thing that caught my eye was the guy playing DMC 4 in 3D on the computer though... they had 3 screens and he was playing with the 3D glasses on... but it's more of like a syok sendiri kinda feel where only he can see what's happening, and we can only see a dual image -_-"

but lousy la he play =p
the typical event photographers?? Yeap their here too...

coming in groups of 6 and more, and going to meet the girls and taking pictures of them, then showing them the pictures they took of them and asking for their details (number, email, etc) so they can mail the pictures to them......... honestly I think this is a cheap method to get a girl's detail, but then again when the girl does give it, what can I say???

not like it's illegal but it just makes me go "Haih...... oh well" what can we do??

but if they begun charging these people to take pictures of the girls... I think they could earn quite a lot huh?? =]

but yeah it won't be long till we'll see an album on Facebook titled PC Expo 2011 and we'll just see girls rather than any electronic product -_-"
Other than that....... went to buy a thumbdrive for myself.... Sandisk one, not bad, since I'm a San Disk lover, maybe cause of the Black n Red color... and the design is also interesting, Kingston... very the ugly... I know we shouldn't bother how the look it but rather how it works, but.... I guess it's ok to wanna look good once awhile???

Got it for RM67.... and the shop owner was telling me

"Very good price you know!!!! Original price rm69!!"

oh wow...... what a bargain!!! XD

then he gave me two pirated AA batteries and say it's a free promo package... can this get any better??? =.=

When I was done.... went to MPH to buy myself a book, then went to Jusco to buy groceries... man they gave me a broken cart, half way the wheel acted like it was possessed and begun spinning in circles... but I cast the demon out half way so it wasn't half bad...

only problem that happened later was when I was going to pay for the groceries... man the lines can drive you mad... never knew an Indonesian maid had so much authority to snatch my place... then again her master also looked one kind so best don't offend her, after she'll bite me..

But it wasn't as bad as the Arab family that came with two carts full of stuff.... my Lord O.O

where does the money come from!!??! Which game me a shock when the price came up to rm700+ for their groceries... my gosh....

but yeah it took me 30mins lining up cause of them -_-"

by then it was already 9:15pm, which then would be the best time to go home already before the jam starts.... but when wanting to go pay for my parking... oh man........... the lines were LONG!!! but what can I do??? Line up lohhhh... the people lining up in front of me were pissing me off too though... why???

1. Guy told his GF to pay for him while he went to sit down somewhere else
2. Father arguing with his child on who would pay the ticket in front of the machine
3. Fat guy put in his ticket (which was torn) and it was rejected *Card Damaged* and he kept on trying to put it in again, and again, and again, and again... I almost strangled him... and suddenly it worked, and he paid... and after the ticket came out and everything was done, he kept on pressing the "RECEIPT" button and nothing came out (brother, it's over d la)

But I guess nothing could beat the indian father that was lining up behind me, he told his wife to go get the car and wait for him (good thinking) but then begun to burp and

"OH GOSH!!!"

durian smell flew across the whole place, was worse since I had first hand sniffing when standing in front of him... then saw him eating more of those durian cakes.... ahh screw it -_-"

then when coming out, man the carpark was full of cars heading towards the exit.... =(

the whole time a few words were just flying by my mind...

"GET OUT OF THE LINE!!!"

man what a day.... but well I did go Mid Valley again the following day, went to help dad buy Kaspersky from the PC Expo, and that was a smooth day =)

Either way, to those who aren't familiar with that GET OUT OF THE LINE thingy, then you MUST watch this clip from one of my favorite stand up comedians, John Pinette~~ =)

Enjoy =)
