Just came back from my day trip from Malacca. Went to visit a couple of relatives. All in all it was fun. Got to try out the new car in Malaysia for the first time (or at least it's the first time I've been in that car in Malaysia). My dad hit 160 close to 180 km/h on the highway. Travel time to Malacca was only bout 2 hours which is damn fast compared to the old car. Used to take 3+ hours. Speeding is fun. Really. Even with the whole family in it. We got pulled over though, but as usual, my dad managed to get himself out of the situation without having to pay a cent. Not even a goddamn bribe.
So yeah, we reached there, got lost asked for directions and got lost again. Reaching Malacca is easy, moving around the area was hell. Malacca (the town at least) is made up of nothing but one-way roads than keep on winding. Kinda senseless huh if you ask me? But still we got to our destinations. Good thing I had my trusty PSP.
Yup, finally FedEx released my package on Friday and I have new clothes at last. Don't forget my PSP. Plus a new Dockers wallet. It's kinda cool though. I got a couple of Levi's jeans, some old skool Faded Glory stuff, some Old Navy stuff. Hmm...What else???
Oh yeah, my PSP. Bought WE9 on the way home on Friday so that I could mess with it straight away. It was great. Came with a hard case, earphones, screen protectors. All the works except a goddamn memory stick. ARGH! I need to save up for that. Anyone got a spare 1GB memory stick pro duo lying around pass it to me.
My bro needs to use my com now. His hard disk crashed. This is the end. I'm outta here.

Conflict
Why is there conflict? I just don't get it. Why do people fight, kill, destroy, argue, hate over the most trivial things? I know somebody hates somebody else's guts and they are both in my group. I have nothing against the two of them but because of some feelings I'm left between a rock and a hard place. Why? It just makes life harder. It gets even more ridiculous when people forget about things that are more important 'cause of the hate. North Korea for example. What's wrong with Kim Jong-Il? Why do you even want to try to start a war? There are enough impoverished countries in this world. Why create such a massive problem? There are already enough people dying each day. Why just add to the problem with your petty differences? I just can't get my head around it. Why didn't you just say no during grouping? I won't mind. I got nothing against you. ARGH! Anderson was never like this. NEVER. You got a problem you settle it there and then. No qualms about it. How can people have such feelings and not say anything? Anything at all? Not even a no? I'm trying not to swear 'cause I'm fasting but there's just nothin to explain how I feel. What happened to good old fist-fights? I'm not a violent person or anything but at least they brought results and resolution. I really miss Anderson. REALLY. I'd give anything to be back there with the people who mattered most. No cliques, no sides to take. Everyone knew Everyone. Well almost. But there was no animosity.Why can't I go back there? Why? This is the end. I'm outta here.

Dammit...

Super-hero quiz...Kinda fun. I'm a Green Lantern. Haha. But it's kinda true I guess. I am a bit hot-headed, not sure 'bout willpower but good imagination...for sure.
It's kinda ironic that I actually dropped out of the PC/Networking all because I was sick (and fasting at the same time). But I've e-mailed my I.C. requesting a transfer to PC/Software Applications. The training for that starts in December so it should give me enough time to recover.
After doing 2 days of Windows Server 2003 training I realized one thing, it ain't as hyped-up as it seems to be (talking 'bout hype, Hady's the new SI! so much for the mumbling maggot Jonathan). Setting up a network can seem fun and all that but configuration is sickening. Imagine having 30 different parts and in each part having the same amount of settings to configure. You've got to set the users,their profiles, global groups, domain local groups, set the sharing and security, do the permissions and a whole lot of other stuff I didn't learn 'cause I stopped after 2 days.
The fact is this. It's still a competition even though it's training. At the end of the WIN2K3 training there was going to be a 4-hour elimination test in which they cut 24 of us to 12. So on Wednesday, my flu was so bad I woke up at 7.00 a.m. and by 7.03 a.m. I had sneezed more times than the number of fingers at a wedding ring exhibition. I decided to stay at home and rest 'cause I knew I wouldn't learn anything if I actually went. The thing is, missing 1 day is as good as not going as they cover alot of stuff in one day. Check this out -
++ Day 1 - Intro to WIN2K3 taken from part of a 3rd-year module taken by Diploma in Engineering Informatics.
++Time taken to teach that part of the module - 3 weeks
++Amount of time the lecturers want us to learn the same thing - just over 8 hours
Now, I already had my goddamn flu on Monday so I was trailing from the start. Oh yeah, get this, the temperature in the room was around 10 degrees celsius. It was like a freaking fridge. I felt like I was leftovers from yesterday's dinner (laugh if you got that joke, it's good for you). So I came back on Tuesday with an even worse flu. By the time Wednesday hit me, I was like some sneezing idiot at home. I doubt that they would help me catch-up on those 8-hours so I decided to switch to Software Apps. I hope that guy will reply me quick so that I can prepare myself to mess around with Windows Vista.
But if I don't get my request fulfilled, at least I know that IT is not really my thing. Not the advanced part at least. In DBI you've got an option to choose to major in business or IT. After semester 1 I was seriously pondering doing both if it was possible. Now I know that would be stupid thing to do. Business is the way for me. Don't worry, I didn't make wrong turn in choosing DBI 'cause I still love IT.
Now, excuse me while I chill out waiting for the new semester to start and continue to build on my 3.786 GPA and make my way towards becoming a marketer/advertiser.
