Yet Another Hiatus?

April 28th, 2006 in Personal 5 Comments

Sorry for the lack of update. I’ve been really busy this few days. I would think most of my MSN buddy knows. I am the usual 24-7 online person. But this few days, I didn’t online much. For those who PM-ed me and didn’t get reply, I’m sorry. I was AFK although sometime my status is Online. My family uses the computer, so the auto-idle-away is triggered to online.

Anyway, the reason that I’ve been busy is because me and one of my friend is currently working on something. Well, I won’t disclose anything on this thing just yet, or maybe I will never disclose this thing on my blog. Its confidential. It’s anonymous. :P
Other than project, I’ve been busy catching up with new animes. The Haruhism Plague is currently spreading really fast among the anime fans, and I am one of them who became one of the Haruhi Follower. Or something like that :P Currently following School Rumble 2 and Black Lagoon. Both are great. Funny and insane School Rumble and cool action packed Black Lagoon. Maybe I should start an anime blog like Kurogane. Heh :D
So, shall I call a semi hiatus? :lol:

Mouse in the House

April 19th, 2006 in Personal 2 Comments

Recently, my house has been attacked by mouse. Mouse. As in you know, those kinda black mouse…

Computer Mouse

Not this MOUSE!! This is computer mouse. It doesnt do any harm. In fact, this mouse helps me a lot. Just keyboard around isn’t efficient enough for me :P

The mouse I mean is this icky-icky cutesey mouse. Seriously cute.

Mouse!!! Cute!!
Behind this cute looking mouse is an annoying pest.

This mouse does look cute. But it is a big problem for our family. They are dirty. They destroy. They squeek. They are noisy. I wonder, does mouse eat soap? My kitchen’s soap is full of scratch marks of mouse. I wonder if soap is healthy for them or not. Will they die after eating the Fruitale soap? :P

It’s been a while already since this mouse invaded my house. Usually during my late night hour for some supper, I can see those mouse. Just as I flicked the switch to on the light, all of them quickly run out through the window. Usually there’s 2 or 3 of them. Maybe a family. Mother, father and a child.

So, my mom bought a mouse trap.

Mouse Trap

First attempt was a failure. The food is gone, and the mouse is happy. Just how the mouse manage to get the food without getting caught remain unknown. Second attempt on the second night was a failure too. It seems like the mouse got scared and doesn’t dare to get into my house. The food was still there, and the trap is still opened. Third attempt on the 3rd night was successful. Caught the small cute mouse. After that night, those mouse didn’t invade our house. I guess they learn their lesson. :D

Gotcha!!

Heh. Owned. :P

4D. Toto. Strike RICH with it.

April 19th, 2006 in Writings 5 Comments

I just recently watch The Best Bet, one of a few Singapore movies that I borrowed from my friend. It’s about the Singaporeans who loves gambling, especially lottery.

Everyone one knows the 4 Digit numbers. Malaysia have Sports Toto and Magnum 4D. Sarawak even have Cash Sweep. I wonder, why is everyone playing this number thingies? The chances of winning is like one in a million.

For most people, buying 4D is like this:

“One day I buy 4D.”

Sports Toto

“On that night, I waited patiently for the result on their website. I was viewing the Live Draw page. Around 7.30pm, and the result is fully out. I strike 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize.”

Toto Result

Striking 4D definitely not as easy as that. Out of 10,000 numbers, just how many can you buy on one draw date? Now, out of those number you have bought, just how many of them will be selected among the 23 spots? Like I said, the chances are one in a million. I’m sure it’s not 50-50, it’s not either to strike or not to strike, like what the Singapore guy (I forgot his name) says on that movie.

Because of 4D, I think my parents wasted money on it. There’s 52 weeks in a year. Every week, there’s 3 draw days. That means, there’s 156 draws annually, excluding all those special draws. On each draw days, I think my parents each of them used up to RM20. So, it’s like RM3,200 each year. How many times did my parents strike 4D? Usually 4 or 5 times annually, consolation or special. Does that cover up the annual 4D expenses? Nope.

Because of 4D, people become superstitious. When there’s car accident on the road, you know why there’s a jam? Everyone is looking at the damaged car, driving slowly. Some even kaypoh and go out of their car trying to settle things. But, they have one thing in common. All of them just wanted to know the car plate number. Buy 4D later mah…

Some even pray to god and ask for 4D number. If you watch the movie, you will know what I mean. That guy even offer KFC and sushi to the so called god of prosperity. All those are nonsense right? If it does work, I don’t think anyone would be living like hell. I don’t think anyone would complain the fuel price hike.

4D. Toto. Lottery. It’s just part of business.

Back from Hiatus

April 17th, 2006 in Site Related Leave a Comment

After like 10 days of rest and settling down, I’m back to blogging. Looks like this is just a short break for me. Only for 10 days. It’s not so long. :)
For those who did come here through geminigeek.com, I’m sure you noticed what I did to it. From there, I am pretty sure that most of you could guess how will my next design look like.

So, I will be back to my normal blogging routine starting today.

Petronas Don’t Want ME

April 9th, 2006 in Personal 11 Comments

Just as I announce a hiatus, I am back to blogging again, temporary. Looks like I can’t keep my mind straight. I always have seconds thoughts. Well, this thing is kind of important, so I decided to log it here.

I check my Petronas Scholarship application. Looks like I failed. Sigh~ This is so sad :|

Terima kasih di atas minat anda terhadap Program Penajaan Pendidikan PETRONAS 2006!

Adalah dimaklumkan bahawa permohonan anda tidak berjaya. PETRONAS mengucapkan Selamat Maju Jaya di dalam bidang yang bakal anda ceburi.

Sekian, terima kasih.

That is shown in my application status. Looks like they don’t want to sponsor a geek. Looks like what they need is just technicianengineer. They don’t want to sponsor and IT freak. Gah~ How sad…

So… I guess I’m back to “breaK” mode. Or should I? :P
