Having the flu

It seems that Clarinase has no effect on my running nose or I’m taking the wrong medicine for my symptoms.

I know taking medicines without first consulting a doctor is not right. But this is Malaysia, drug offense is most severe in this country but you can freely buy medical drugs anywhere! Even more easier then in the US. All you have to do is to walk into a pharmacy or a clinic and tell them what you want! You don’t even have to be diagnosed or get a doctor’s written prescription first to buy them.

So, I’m still having a running nose. Actually, the damn thing is running into my throat instead of out. This is giving me a bad sore throat and I am sure giving me my upset stomach.

The only remedy I know which truly works for this kind of illness is sleep. Doctors won’t give MC for this and I can’t sleep in my office… So… Sigh…

:(

Idiot

One of my friend used to say “Sin Chai bo sui, bin pun bo sui” which means “Body not pretty, face also not pretty”. Of course, he was referring to girls whenever he’s comparing girls or guys who actually choose normal looking girls as their girlfriends.

At least normal looking girls will still probably have good attitude, personality, brains or fashion sense to make up for it. Maybe they can cook well or are extremely good in their studies.

Well, about 2 and a half years ago, when I enrolled in a part time engineering course, I got into the same class as a girl who I can say, Body not pretty, face not pretty, attitude not pretty, height of a shorty, talks like aunty, fashion sense like Ugly Betty, complains like crazy and yet she has so much ego that she doesn’t even realize her own stupidity in our batch.

Almost every single lecturer who has thought in our class has been complained by her and it as caused so much delay and problems to our batch. My class should have been in our 5th semester by now but thanks to her constant complaining, we are delayed for 6 months! even the schedule is also complained. She and only she can’t take Saturday classes but she has to make it into big issue and caused everyone else who has no problem with it to adjust to her schedule. She can’t study well because the lecturer isn’t teaching her properly. It’s hers and only her problem. Damn PSDC for not investigating things properly enough before taking action which affects our whole class!

I wonder, how can that girl have a boyfriend? Is that guy stupid as well or retarded or what?

Lost Backup file

I think I’ve just lost whole directory of files which I’ve worked very hard to create. I left it in a “backup server” which was supposed to be safe since the department paid over a few thousands of Ringgit monthly to maintain it. Now, the whole server is gone… That includes my backup copy which is also gone when my PC’s hard drive crashed, and my own portable pen drive backup got corrupted.

What a coincidence that all the backup files got lost at the same time. And it’s going to take me a lot of time just to redo the whole thing.
Sigh…

Just a small update

Let’s see, the last time I updated my blog was on the 1st September 2008. That’s about 2 months of inactivity of this blog!

To save the “I’ve been busy with exams and work” yada yada, let me just type out a few things which comes to my mind now.

RAM prices are down! My desktop is messy, my study room is messy and my cubicle is messy. Petrol price might be going down tomorrow.

Sorry to bore you readers. :P

Getting out of breath…

Getting stressed out quite easily lately and because of that, I’m loosing focus and getting numb and out of breath easily for no reason at all sometimes. Could be my diet, could be lack of sleep, could be lack of excercise or could be I have too much to do lately.

Since I’ve completed most of my work in the office and have some time to relax a little, I do plan to do so. Maybe eat better, take less coffee and excercise a little bit every morning after I wake up and every night before I sleep.

I certainly don’t want to die due to stress. It’s certainly not worth the amount that I’m being paid for. Besides, I have so much more to live for then to die for. Right?

Vomit Blood

Done at least 18 different revision changes for my programs in the past 2 months!

Here’s a tip for Programmers. Never work for people who don’t even know what they want themself! You’ll find yourself in my shoes redoing everything just to satisfy those kind of people!

In my case, I’m not getting paid by every modification made… Which made things worse.

Bah.

Diablo III

Diablo III LogoTwo decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn…

Yes, Diablo III is annouced and it looks like Blizzard is going to make it a free multiplayer game using Battle.net unlike World of Warcraft.

Diablo III will feature the same random level generator and 5 classes where the babarian makes a comeback. It will be using Havoc physics Systems so the enviroments can be interactive or destroyed.

Junk Mail not needed!

When you read an email, or composed something nice to read, it’s always nice to share out the laughter and the nice words or pictures you got. However, most people who just simply forward email without thinking and thus causes a bunch of junk mail or computers with viruses to pick up all your email addresses.

Have you ever wondered where those people always get your email address from? Well from your friends!

Just a few months ago, I had an email account which is clean. No spams, no junk mail and I’ve only used it for official purposes such as to sign up for something or subscribe to some electronic magazines. Everytime before I put my email address into an input box and click submit, I’ll read through the terms and condition and the privacy policy. I’m not one of those guys who would just simply click on agree or yes just for the sake of installing somethin in my PC.

Anyway, My email was clean for the few months and up to a whole year without any spam. UNTIL the time when I gave my email to one of my friend and he mass forward a whole lot of emails into his buddy list.

That’s when it all started. With only 1 or 2 spam at first every day, to at least 10 spam emails in collected daily. That’s not all, because I’m using this email for some official stuff, I need to filter out my spams to see if I’ve missed anything or if anything is accidentally moved to the spam folder. Usually, there’s always 1 or 2 important emails in the spam folder.

This has made my life reading emails a lot slower and harder. All thanks to the few persons who never used their brains when forwarding their junks.

So if you’re one of the people who thinks sharing something funny you get from your email is nice, think again! Don’t forward them or at least, use the BCC field to fill in all the email address of your friends!
