A Slack Back!

August 6, 2006

How long it has been from my last post?? Woo!! FEW MONTHS!! What the…
First of all, I would like to apologize for just anyone that I’ve broke my promise that I had made to you. I’m just too passion about what I’m doing and yet, I’ve missed a huge part of my private life! Very sincere I’m here to apologize… I’ve made a lot of promises which I didn’t appear to keep it. I’ve missed the trip to Redang, I’ve missed the gathering of you all…

Ok, sounds sad?? Yeah, that’s the purpose for me to make the post, to make you sad! LOL, well, there are just too much for me to share since the “disappearance” of me. I’ve gained a lot of priceless experience ever since I started my holiday vacancy, such as meeting “somebody” that I would never imagine I could ever get near to them, having chances travel to places which I don’t think I’d chose to go to, like…. Oil palm estate, rubber estate and etc etc… hahahaha!!

“That’s just too much!”

Well! Fine, I won’t talk rubbish here! So, I miss my friends, HOW U ALL DOING??? U all miss me???!! [p/s: the only option to this question is (YES)]
For yours concern, I’ve passed all my subjects in the exam, thanks to the lectures, I think they did help me a lot, thanks to classmate who tried to enlighten the stupid me, and thanks to myself for not wasting parents’ money! LOL, I would say I’m just too lucky to pass the exam, which initially, I had already prepared to accept the bad news of failing one or two subjects.

I have bad time management here! Someone please lead me to the light, teach me how TIME MANAGEMENT works? I’m dying out there to figure out what the hell is that! Because of bad time management, I couldn’t do a lot of tasks which I could have done, such as updating the blog, nyam-char with my friends and etc etc. If I have no problem with my time management, I shouldn’t have so many [could-have-done] tasks.

Actually I have more to share here, such as how my work is, what people I have met with, and what I’ve done during this holiday. I would admit that because of bad time management, I didn’t able to spare more time for blogging.

That’s all, wish all the best for you guys. Especially for those who has been viewing my blog. I couldn’t believe that the number of my Website Hit Counter still counting after a long “hibernation”. It was 700+ when my last visit, YEAH, MY LAST VISIT…. Lol… what a lazy blogger I’m….

Good luck for u all~~
All the best ya!!!

If you have been following my blog, you’ll definitely know that I’m having few days break before my last exam subject, Global Business Context. The purpose for me to write this blog is… is… is… well, so called “release stress”! And it was a great day for “day off” yesterday! Because… It was raining in the morning, rain reminds us to relax, and therefore I shall relax! (wat nonsense I’m crapping) Anyway just for the sake for blogging!
Yeah, I had a day off yesterday to Lowyat Plaza. It has been around 2 months from my last visit.
I thought I was a Tarzan (well, I know u guys wont’ agree with that… OK, ok!!! A starving Tarzan! Ok now? Happy now? !@#$QX#$!) that never been to a city when I saw the “changes”! There were so many new gadgets that I never seen before had “popped-up” in the shops. New speakers, new monitors, new chicks! (Opps! Did I say anything wrong?) The prices of those toys had dropped even faster then the speed of light! And they keep dropping! HURAAY!!
I visited two of my favorite stores, CYCOM (2nd floor) and All IT (3rd floor). I have friends working in these stores, and they give me awesome price! YUHUUU!! And they are rock! You know who I’m saying, thank you! And of cause I’ve got some new gadgets for myself!
Then, next visit was to Sungei Wang. Nothing special and interesting there besides fashion, people and chicks! Haha! (That was already very special and interesting!)
Well, this is my post… Interesting day with boring post, ngek ngek ngek! Study hard buddies and get good luck for urs coming favorite subject!

I saw something awesome yesterday… When my frens and I was paying bill for dinner at the counter, we saw a small little yellow-colored bottle at the shelf behind the casher… And with curiosity, we asked the boss hand over the bottle to us. We had a look on it and EIARKKK!!! That was a little tiny snake inside, and I think this is quite common among the Chinese, especially the older generation. It’s claimed good for health (I guess…). But, you dare to drink it??? Ha… not for me, even the boss said she wouldn’t consider taking in to tummy! The bottle was there because it’s a “gift” from customer… (OMG… Weird customer!!)
Ps: how many snake is slaughtered to make this kind of "drink" each year??? Scary…

The Road Not Taken

April 27, 2006

My title sounds familiar to most of you?? YES!! You are right, it’s the poem we learnt in Form… 4 or 5… can’t recall… anyway, that’s the poem… To dig in your nightmare, let me paste the poem here~ MUahaAHAha!!!

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

(If interested with the poem, go here)
[But i guess, this link wont' be popular...]

Oh yeah~~ remember the hardship you had put to understand and comprehend the whole poem?? Ya, this reminds me my secondary English teacher, she’s one of the most respectful teachers I ever had, Ms Gan. OH yeah~~ hope she’s doing well for her career… I think the government should promote her the post of Education Minister in Malaysia! Hehehe~~

Anyway, the purpose of me recalling the poem is… it applies in my present situation. My friends have started planning where to trip after our final exam… (for your info… our final exam is coming… IS COMING!!! And just like others youth, we started planning what to do after exam before even the exam take place… “so called” to release stress… haiz…) And the situation is… I have two places to go, Singapore and Pulau Redang… hhahhahah… Here’s my two path of destinations…

However, my situation is a bit different, the poet chose either one path, but I have to choose both! NO Choice! But I’m willing to do so as well, because some friends will be leaving motherland after exam, this might be the last chance for us to have our extreme enjoyment.

I received a surprise call yesterday night when I was having dinner with my sisters and my friends. It was my computer-expert cousin on the phone. He asked me if I have read the newspaper of the day. Well~ as usual, I don’t read newspaper. Eventually, I didn’t know what he wanted to tell me. He told me that the title of the newspaper on the front page was “Windows Warning”! Well, although I didn’t understand what it meant on the spot, but it really didn’t sound good! My cousin then explained what the whole article is about to me. I was… “WTF”…. You would definitely give the same reaction when continuing reading my blog!

Basically, the news was about our favorite operating system developer, Microsoft wants to achieve their aim by “better serving” Microsoft’s genuine users… (How “kind” of them~~!! @#$#@#XX) So, they are going to “tattoo” your screen with pop-up message “This copy of Windows is not genuine…”. The message will be permanently affixed to the operating system’s login screen, and a similar message will randomly pop up on the desktop whenever the computer is in use, until you buy and install a genuine copy of Windows which costs you FROM RM300++! @#%!XX$@@X#$ After clicking “RESOLVE LATER” button in the pop-up message window, the Windows still can operate like usual.
PC that have been tattooed will still be able to receive software updates for the operating system, but will not be allowed to download Internet Explorer 7.0 (IE7) and Windows Defender.

Well, by the perception of Microsoft, I understand that this would be a good step to prevent distribution of pirate version of windows, and of cause, the main reason is, can generate MORE revenue, oh~ common, your boss is already the richest man on earth!! Fine~! But how efficient would it be, you think the users would just buy the genuine version because of the pop-ups?? I’m sure home users like unties and uncles won’t spend another RM300 because of the irritating pop-ups. They don’t even mind using the old version of Internet Explorer and Windows Defender! Maybe the implementation would works on business users… God knows… \_(@.@)_/

WHY MALAYSIA???
Another question is… WHY MALAYSIA??? It mentioned that the anti-piracy move is being kicked off in five countries– the United States, Britain, New Zealand, Australia and Malaysia. WAT THE FUCK!!! Can you see the countries that fall in the group?? US, UK, NZ, AUS and…. Malaysia?? Common!!! I don’t understand how Malaysia would get involve in this play. US, UK, NZ, and AUS are DEVELOPED countries! Malaysia??? Well~~ Is that a strategy from Microsoft HQ to test if the move is efficient in developing country and sadly Malaysia is the lucky white mouse, or if “they” want to show to the world that “MALAYSIA BOLEH”. Even our neighbor country, Singapore which known as “Kiasu” country doesn’t get involved…

Blog dated @ 24 April 06 at churekie@blogspot

Finally and at last I’ve started my very own blog. It has been a very very very long time delayed for me to actually start the blog as I had the idea of starting it. I could remember that the word “blog” first came to me in year 2004. That was a happy honey moon year for me, it was the year after I took SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) [equivalent to O level I guess]. Therefore, “blog” didn’t really catch my attention as it wasn’t that popular during that period of time. (At least it wasn’t among my peers.) Quite out-dated huh~

Blog started gaining its popularity until the out-dated ones (like me) also floated with the word “blog” everyday on newspaper, magazine, conversation with peers, and definitely on the internet. I have been thinking to start a blog since 1 year ago, seriously! However, the thought has been remained as a thought. Until today, it has become a reality, Muahahahah!!! Congratulate for the birth of my blog! Yoyoyo \(^^)/

There are many reasons for me to start this blog, the main one would be allowing me to jot down interesting experience that happen on me in my life. The second one would be… allowing me to write more, because writing more can actually help me to improve my English. I am not comfortable with the English level I currently have, I hope I could write better English. (So, if I made any grammatical, sentence, or any other error, do give me comment on how to improve it. If possible, just send me a mail la, don’t post as comment, it’s quite shame you know~ but if you insists, it won’t be a problem as well, we learn together, heh~~ yoyo <(^^)<>
