DVD

November 27, 2004

Like i said… i was gonna get a DVD drive… n i finally did… :)
However… Streamyx isn’t available in my housin’ area for now so i guess i will have to go out to online…
Finishin’ the last ten episodes of Split Second yesterday was a personal record cos i’ve never actually been such a ‘hardcore’ couch potato in my whole life… hehe… I actually declined to go jamming for two nights in a row cos of the serial… although i could have watched it another time… but my other friends were watchin’ together anyway so i guess i might as well ‘finish’ it fast… :)
Five days of classes have passed… i have yet to warm up my brain… slack first…
Gonna check out the news for today… i haven been readin’ d papers since i came back… dun buy ‘em either… guess i’ll check them online

Marathon

November 25, 2004

No… it ain’t the runnin’ kind of marathon… instead i’ve been watchin’ episode ater episode of this HK serial Split Second… around 5 per day now… since Mon… hehe… another 15 left…
Woke up early for class at 8 only to be greeted by an invisible lecturer so here I am…
Why ain’t the air-con in CICT workin’… it’s been spoilt since i returned… what the…
Gonna get Streamyx soon… n a DVD drive… :)

Relax… It’s Just the Beginnin’

November 23, 2004

Countach Studio certainly is best studio in Tmn U considerin’ d fact that d others r even worse… but 30 bucks per hour is not reli worth it… they din even provide a single Boss pedal for us… or any stompbox for that matter… what the hell… i brought my own guitar n cable along… n true enough… i had to use my own cable cos theirs jus plain sucked… no doubt… the room is big… the Tama drumset is nice… but c’mon… i could get a good studio with Boss MT-2 n DD-3 in Ipoh with an hourly rate of 25bux… sigh… there’s a need for better studios here…

First Day of School

November 22, 2004

Well… i used to dread the first day of school… or rather school itself… when i was much younger… guess i dun dread it so much now already… jus finished my first class half an hour ago and waitin’ for the next one to start…
Number of tyre PUNCTURES i experienced this year:FOUR
Two of ‘em happened when i was drivin’ back on the highway for the new semester… and that includes this sem too…
I wonder what the hell is wrong… PLUS tryin’ 2 sabotage me?
And so i had to change a whole tyre at some place called Bukit Beruntung (i think) near Rawang cos it burst completely… hmmm… the new Bridgestone set me back 120 bucks…
The other time i was luckier as the punctured tyre was still usable and i went 2 Sungkai 2 had it patched up…
What luck…

Sick

November 14, 2004

Sick still… i am…
Went to the Lost World of Tambun again and got in free… by chance… i din know if they have started chargin’ entrance fees or not but i assume they have… cos after enterin’… i noticed every1 else there had plastic wristbands ard their… well… wrist… hehe… i jus walked in (rather innocently) through the wide open side gate… which was unguarded… i dunno why… so i thought prolly they’re not chargin’ any1 yet… but it turns out they were… (or so i think)… i exited thru d same way also… unnoticed… haha… but no1 else was enterin’ there… surprising… haha…

Drained but Fun

November 12, 2004

Goin’ out nite after nite… meetin’ up with friends who are studyin’ all over d place now certainly leaves me drained… but it was good fellowship… from pc gamin’ to snookerin’ to wolfin’ to yumchain’ to crappin’ to deepavali hsevisitin’… yeah… been out the whole of today…
The Lost World of Tambun in Sunway City Ipoh… supposedly open but then when i reached there… everyone was jus standin’ outside tryin to take a peek inside… dun tink its fully opened i guess… there was no one inside at dat time oso… except 4 guards n other workers… i guess sumtime later this week it’ll open :)
I actually paid a visit to Hospital Bahagia 4 d 1st time in my entire life… :) went with a fren who knows d place well cos he lives ard d area… huge vast fields n nice scenery… no joke… it’s a HUGE area… kinda like d UTM campus… haha…
So i’m feelin’ quite sick now w a lil sore throat n flu… hope it doesn’t worsen… tiring…
I guess i’ll miss all of them when we are all back to our respective unis after this festive break…
C’est la vie

Dream Shreddin’

November 10, 2004

The solo in DT’s Hollow Years from the Budokan album is definitely electrifyin’… i’ve listened 2 it for umpteen times already… :)
I had to go all the way to town jus to get a serial2parallel converter for the newly-bought modem cos d pc at dad’s office is rather old n din even haf a free serial port 4 d modem… n to think some of d shops in my place only sell usb modems… when i asked dem 4 serial modems… they were like… obsolete already… luckily i din ask 4 parallel modems…
There’s this music store in YikFoong which has TONS of hard-to-find stuff like videos of guitar instructionals, rock concerts, the hip-hop scene like breakdancin’, dj-ing, etc… and also a huge collection of alt, rock, metal n whatever CDs and cassettes… check it out…
Hopefully it doesn’t rain cos i’m goin out again later…
I haven’t reli played the warcraft hero game b4… although i’ve heard of it alot… anyway i got killed loads of times yesterday when i started playin’ with this whole bunch of frens i met up with… hmmm… after that it was snooker… well… at least my snooker’s better den warcraft although both are below par… maybe i shud play more… but probably i’d rather shred more… well… it was good to meet up with a dozen of ‘em… ex-classmates n skoolmates…
