My class last night

Last night was my Microprocessor class.

The lecturer said a lot of things and gave some tips.

He said

“Today, we’re going to play games… Tic-Tac-Toe.  Gaaaa…baaa….bla bla blablablabla…. ksadfjlskj!@#!WELFW#RJwdfkjwofi32j908df…… . .. ????? !???!?!? Final Assignment…. jhf10badfblablabla1rh  Based on game.. ksudafhsdf !@##SDAFASFDsdfsfasdfasf ?????!!?!?!? blablabla….

Please practice t…sdfblabla blablablablawqeiuhf903rijh…. “

Instead… What I had on my monitor was:

Facebook – Neopets – and various blog sites.

Shit… I should have payed more attention in class… :(

You may wonder why I stopped blogging

The truth is… I hate this theme! I can’t believe Lim Kit Siang is also using the same theme.

It looks ugly… That, and the fact that my life is nothing more then a boring routine of work, live, eat, sleep lately.

I also became quite lazy to look for a new theme AND make sure that all my plugins are compatible with the new one. -_-

And since I don’t really have anything interesting to say or to blog about, I’ll just have to annouce that, I’ve bought a new pair of shoes, played inline skating for the first time, went to Sg. Sedim, cought a flu and was finally able to swim one half a lap of the swimming pool non stop.

See? Nothing special… Just a boring old routine life -_-

Quickie: Hmm… I’m still waiting for my free T-Shirt from Exabytes.

Daily Budget Calculator

I’ve got some (only a little)  spare time in the office lately. Since I’ve completed part of my work and am waiting for some engineers to verify the program so they can come back to me with bugs for me to fix.

So, I’ve decided to create a little Excel file which will help me to track my daily spending and helps me to create a budget of how much I can spend per day.

It’s not one of those complicated Excel financial tracker which you can download from Microsoft. I find them too complicated and not suitable tracking what’s in my pocket. I don’t need Excel to track and plan my bills and bank accounts. I just want to know how I spend the money I drew out from the ATM machine and how much should I spend daily for that money to last.

Well, I’ve redesigned it a little and wrote a little readme file with it so I can distribute it.

If you have the need to track the cash in your wallet, and not your bank, your bills, your safe, your credits, etc…, why don’t you try it out? :)

Funny Phone Call

I thought these kind of stuff only happens to girls.

You got a call from an unknown number. Then, the caller (a guy) breathing very heavily through the phone. Then he mumbles something which sounds like Chinese but with his tongue tied with a rubber band or something. His voice doesn’t even sound good. Sounds like an idiot. (Yea, yea. No such thing as an idiot sound)

Then he hung up the phone.

Sheesh!

Why don’t girls with preety voices ever calls me and breaths heavily though the phone? I can put it on hands free speaker and share it with the guys…

Growing Mushrooms, or rather, Mushrooms growing

Mushrooms has been growing around my mom’s potted plants lately. They sure do pop up out of nowhere and grow really fast!

Mushroom randomly growing

I’m pretty sure my mom didn’t intentionally planted those pointy little things in that random pot, but she did bought a new bag of soil just recently. It only proves that those sellers are selling unknown quality soil dug up from some random location without even knowing if the soil contains any parasites or not.

 

Mushroom Afternoon

Those mushrooms are quite pretty and they are quite interesting to watch as well. Since they can actually change shape overnight.

However, we had to throw away those mushrooms since we do not know if they were poisonous or not. It’s also not good to have them growing around too much.

It’s stupid, But it’s common

Sometimes, a company which is trying to cut costs will cut almost everything just to save a few. All it takes if one or two managers to fly over with a private jet or business class just to oversee and enforce the new cost cutting policies and the cost of their air fare has caused the jobs of several operators in the factory.

Now, do you still think that all multi-national companies are smart?

How’d you like the new theme?

The old WordPress theme I was using was nice, but a little too messy. So I found this nice little theme called Fusion and tried it. Hope you readers like it.

Well, this new theme has a few extra features out of the box. The most obvious will be the interface. It’s not AJAX but it’s feeling is quite similar. It also supports Gravtar out of the box. No modifications to the codes needed. Just look how far has the blogging platform go! Just a few years ago, WordPress users all have to customize our own codes just to get some of the cool plugins to work!

Broadband Alternatives?

I’m fedup with Streamyx. I was fedtup with them ever since I used their dail-up. Jaring and TimeNet dail-up was still much better then TMnet’s dial-up.  And now, Streamyx is giving me lots of stupid speeds when connections are stable and unstable connections once in awhile AND not being able to connect at all at least once a year!

Tried calling them and getting your blood preassure up? Or tried emailing them with the provided email they have in their website? (Hint: That email does not exist but it’s listed anyway)

SO… I tried to look for an alternative. PenangFON, Maxis Broadband, Celcom, Digi, Time, EZnet, and even the latest one, P1WiMax.

The stupid thing is, none of them have proper coverage in my area! What’s wrong with my Fucking area? Too little residence? Too many uncles who don’t use the internet?

So, I’m still stuck with this stupid company which just gave me and my girlfriend a hard time in their stupid TMpoint where the staff don’t even know how to use their own fucking system. It wasted at least 1 hour of our time for nothing.

I know, this is probably the 100123023497th blog which complains about streamyx… Yet, they still never change…

Lilian C? Lucia L?

Do you know them?

They are quite famous bloggers from Penang. However, why did I mentioned their names?

That’s because I found some PC in a public place with a Gmail account which has not yet been signed out… And there are a whole bunch of names including theirs…

Whoever the person who left the PC as it is like that, rest assured that I read nothing except for spotting those names I recognized. I’ve also helped you to sign out so no one else can wrongly use your account or the information inside including your friend’s email account…
