EXAMS! ..and a little bit about swine flu
Thursday, June 18, 2009
The dreaded word. Have completed two exams but felt pretty shit about them.
Telecomm - the classic "the topics-I-focused-on-didn't-appear-on-the-exam-but-the-ones-deemed-unimportant-did" syndrome. haha. Didn't help as well when I was busing to go to the loo so in the end I left little bit early.
Computing - I would've mucked up on the teeney weeny details and cost me alot of marks. Sigh.
Upcoming : Signals, Analogue and Geo.
Anyway, Melbourne being such a vibrant, multicultural city, has its fair share of global travellers. However, I do not understand how we can become the swine flu capital of the world. Weird. There aren't any strict regulations about how things should be. Most of all, the public's attitude - some people are still sceptical about this mystical deadly flu and displays utter ignorance towards health warnings issue.
On the other end of the spectrum, there are couple of weirdos out there haha. If you cough/sneeze/whatever, they give you reaal dirty looks & run away. Gee man. Carry a hand sanitiser wherever you go and wear a mask.
Uni exams are still going on as scheduled. Only students displaying 'flu-like symptoms' are suppose to self-quarantine. Um..I have a runny nose, does that count? but I have been a total recluse over the past few weeks to study so will I possibly contracted the disease from the tiny air particles that float past my window? I'm not even sure how to actually protect myself against this disease.
Oh well, back to studies & coffee.

Mat Selamat's grand escapade
Sunday, May 10, 2009
http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/25815-singapores-mas-selamat-captured-in-johor
This supposedly top terrorist somehow escaped from his prison during a toilet break. The entire Singaporean army was mobilised for the manhunt.
Guess what? The Malaysians arrested him in Johor (a state which is way bigger than Singapore).
And here I thought we, Malaysians are always being seen as the lazy/incompetent people by our neighbour.
A-ha! In your face!

Mid semester
Monday, April 20, 2009
It is that time of the year again. Mid semester tests..time to reflect on what you have been doing for the first half of the semester.
I realised I should have studied from the beginning. Too late now.
I will now start to give it all my best.
頑張ります！

Handbook to Start 2009
Saturday, February 14, 2009
Health
1. Drink plenty of Water
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and have dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more food that grows on trees and plants, rather than food manufactured in plants.
4. Live with the 3 E's - Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.
5. Make time to practice yoga, meditation and prayer.
6. Play more games.
7. Read more books than you did in 2008.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes every day.
9. Sleep for 7 hours.
10. Take a 10 - 30 minute walk everyday, and while you walk, smile.
Personality
1. Don't compare your lives with others. You have no idea what their life journey is all about.
2. Don't have negative thoughts on things you can't control. Invest your energy in the positive present moment.
3. Don't over do. Keep your limits.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
6. Dream more while you are awake.
7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
8. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
10. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

Society
1. Call your family often.
2. Each day give something good to others.
3. Forgive everyone with everything.

5. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
6. What people think of you is none of your business.

1. Do the right thing.
2. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
3. However bad the situation is, it will change.

5. The best is yet to come.
6. When you wake up every morning, be grateful that you're still alive.
7. Your Inner Most is always happy, so be happy.

Happy V Day
Happy V Day to all =]
Have you made three people smile today?
Anyway, in this current climate, it's fair to re-use some campaign slogan created during WWII.

恭喜发财 万事如意
but my favourite 武侠大师， 梁羽生，梁大侠， 却撒手西去， 实在令人惋惜及感慨。
有人为梁羽生作过一首诗：

有人为梁羽生作过一首诗：
金田有奇士，
侠影说羽生。
南国棋中意，
东坡竹外情。
横刀百岳峙，
还剑一身轻。
别有千秋业，
文星料更明。
侠影说羽生。
南国棋中意，

irresponsible, ignorant, incompetent people
Thursday, January 22, 2009
Gosh.
I cannot imagine people who refuse to learn, refuse to contribute to society.
It's fine by me if you do that within your own space and time. However, if you are trying to influence others to be like you, then you should be ashamed of yourself.
A quote from 'Blood Diamond' : "God left this place a long time ago."
It's true if you look around you. Law abiding, hardworking citizens are being placed in havoc situations caused by irresponsible, ignorant and incompetent people.
You ask "why?", there is no clear answer.
Best explanation would be it is a integrated design flaw in humans - human's greed and desire to outshine others.
Social injustice anyone?

I recently acquired a 2009 management organiser from Allianz. There was an extra page that I think is worth sharing.
I particularly like the phrase 'have a heart'. Have a heart, be considerate and tolerant towards others.

"Life is filled with many important moments. Sometimes we need to just stop and enjoy each moment in our lives."

Happy New Year!! May all your wishes come true =]
I just deleted my old blog. I found the posts tedious and boring. Started this new blog with a more friendly and simple design. The old one was kinda..over the top.
Anyway, I will try something called AdSense? Hope they approve my application *crosses fingers*
As this is a brand new blog, I have yet to decide what the main content of this blog will be. I am thinking technology-related stuff. Maybe if I have time I will set up a personal blog too. Hehe.
I have recently replaced my laptop! When I say 'replace', it is actually merely upgrading it. I use to have one of the oldest laptops in the Toshiba Satellite series and now I am using the Satellite L310. So far so good. What can I say? It's a Toshiba. My old laptop was with me for 4 years? Never had problems, except that it had shockingly little internal memory. I should've waited till the launching of Quadcore processors and Microsoft 7. Oh well. =\
Bollocks. My course adviser seemed to disappeared. I need her permission to overload! Damn online registration thing that blocks off extra credit points. I am still waiting for her to reconfirm my course structure.
Sorry, no pictures at the moment. Will blog more later.
Ciao.
