PC blues...

My PC wasn't in a good condition after i moved back from Melaka. After a loyal companionship for 2 years, he finally gave up on me. The system crashed, the processor overheating, problems with the DVD-ROM, power failure, virus infection, you named it, I've got it. He was finally sent to the shop for repair. I was thinking of a major overhauling, but with my brothers around, it wouldnt be a wise choice after all. Well, nothing survives under their hands..

The whole service cost me RM 130, and i lost my modem in the process. As a return, I got a free cable which I still dun understand the rationale behind it. Perhaps the shop owner felt the guilt for unable to save my modem. Even after the service, it's not at its tip-top condition. New problems occured, as we couldn't install Adobe and Nero. What a week it was..

Lucky that I got my Streamyx a day after that. At least there's some compensation for able to download songs and movies, surfing the net faster and having a stable comnection. Anyway, thanks to Jit Ping for helping out to make my computer more resistance , and help me to discover the way to use my DVD-ROM again. It's always a good thing to hv friends who can help. Lastly, congrats to JP as he will be officially graduated tomorrow. All the best!

Road back home -A marriage of accounting, planning, and acting skills

What a jovial mood i'm in. Nothing particular exciting but just felt good, at least until now. Gonna go back home later on a 2 1/2 hours of bus travel... Sigh... Just realized that I've been travelling back home like this for years. During my uni days (hah, sound like it's been so long!), i couldn't afford to travel back home every weekends/month. Too far away and the only transport available is airplane. So, I went back twice or a year, sometimes during holidays, sometimes during term break. Remembering back then, we students are really good in calculating the lowest expenditures to go back home.. Many of us had actually mastered all the required skills (accounting and planning skills) and can easily passed off as travel agents or accountants. We even mastered our acting skills especially to the staffs in airlines booking agency and airports ( it's due to the fact that we are almost certain to bring overweight luggage every time we stepped on an airplane).. The who...

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

School No Fun!

"So, how many homeworks you have today?" "8." "How many done?" "4 more to go, with a spelling tomorrow and a dictation on Friday." "How are you doing today?" Face slammed to the pillow on the floor... "T...i...r....e...d...." Thats the usual conversation little Paul and I have everyday after school. 6, 7, sometimes 10 homeworks per day. Thats what little Paul is having everyday. Today, he cried over the tiredness of having to do so many work. Although he's more on the sensitive side, but still, is this how our education system deal with our kids? And, today, he brought a time table for examination through out the year, which the 1st exam will start on 13th February, 5 days before Chinese New Year. (WTF!!) That means he has to start studying the not-so-familiar words. 22 days into the new year, and he has to worried bout doing good in his exam. What's wrong with the teachers, school and the Ministry of Education itself?...
