S.H.I.T.

Here's something interesting about S.H.I.T. Enjoy.

Memo to all employees:
In order to assure the highest levels of quality work and productivity from employees, it will be our policy to keep all employees well trained through our program of SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING(S.H.I.T).

We are trying to give our employees more S.H.I.T than anyone else. If you feel that you do not receive your share of S.H.I.T on the course, please see your supervisor. You will be immediately placed at the top of the S.H.I.T list and our supervisors are especially skilled at seeing you get all the S.H.I.T you can handle.

Employees who don't take their S.H.I.T will be placed in DEPARTMENTAL EMPLOYEE EVALUATION PROGRAMS (D.E.E.P.S.H.I.T). Those who fail to take D.E.E.P.S.H.I.T seriously will have to go to EMPLOYEE ATTITUDE TRAINING (E.A.T.S.H.I.T).

Since our supervisors took S.H.I.T before they were promoted,they don't have to do S.H.I.T anymore, and are all full of S.H.I.T already. If you are full of S.H.I.T you may be interested in a job teaching others. We can add your name to our BASIC UNDERSTANDING LIST ofLEADERS (B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T).

For employees who are intending to pursue a career in management and consulting, we will refer you to the department of MANAGERIAL OPERATIONAL RESEARCH EDUCATION (M.O.R.E.S.H.I.T). This course emphasizes how to manage M.O.R.E.S.H.I.T

If you have further questions, please direct them to our HEADOF TEACHING, SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (H.O.T.S.H.I.T).

Thank you,
BOSS IN GENERAL, SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING(B.I.G.S.H.I.T)

P.S. Now send this S.H.I.T to 5 people who need S.H.I.T in their life, just not the same person who sent you this S.H.I.T. They have already had their fill of S.H.I.T.

Thank you for your time. !

Sincerely,
The Director Under the Main Bureau of Super High IntensityTraining.
(The D.U.M.B.S.H.I.T).

What's life without the internet?

Its sunday, and here i am as usual, in front my pc connected to the net via a high speed broadband. What do I do? Participating in a forum, a couple of forums actually, surfing the net for the latest news on computers hardware and games, on-line chatting and yes, blogging here.

Now this was all the things I can't do when my broadband is down, which happened a few times since I got my broadband service 6 months ago. The worst being one which it was down for almost 2 weeks. Pretty shitty ISP, isn't it?

Anyway, during the 2 weeks stint, it was kinda hard to live off-line 24/7. There's just so many things I wanna do while here, the damn broadband service remains down. Anyway, I was lucky my universiti campus do have computers lab, which I could use, except that its connection is very slow, which is kinda frustrating when you've been on a broadband for months.

Internet somehow became part of my life. Without it, I'd be bored out of my skull. Afterall, few years down the road, we might be paying bills and do shopping online. Heck, me might even be watching TV programs online. So, I guess internet is going to be part of our everyday's life. Its just a matter of time, more than anything else.

Anyway, for now, I thankful I have a broadband connection at home. At least I'd be able to live through each semester break.

Sometimes human can be very silly

Here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. This label all spots some very silly and ridiculous instruction.

Your brakes are improtant...as I've learn the hard way

This is the forth time I've almost got involve in a road accident. Thank god so far, I've only come this close but this shit did not atually happend. Anyway, here's a short discribtion of all four incidents.

1)
It happend at a road at the place I use to live at back in 2003. It was after a junction. This bike was at my left after the exit of the corner, and she somehow slowed down a little. I thought she's allowing me to overtake her and so I pick-up a little faster. All of a suddent, she turn to my right, right in front of me. Damn, I had to him my brakes so hard that the front wheel locks up. Luckily, I my car manage to come to a stand still in time. After that, this lady has the guts to stare back at me as if it was my fault. She should learn to use her signal lights and rear mirrors.

2)
This one was my fault. I was exiting my campus compound from the front gate. I stop but somehow, I didn't see this bike coming from the right. I accelerated just to hear him sounded his hons. Again, I manage to stop in time, but not before my car was covering half part across of the road. Luckily, he manage to avoid me.

3)
Again, its a bike. This guy just cut across the road I was driving on, from right to left. As usual, I nail down the brakes and my right wheel lock up. Once again, thank god nothing happens except for a little worn off tyres and brakes.

4)
This time around, it was just after the rain, road still wet. But shit happens regardless of rain or shine. This car just cut across from the right road to the left. This time, I was lucky that I had saw her approching quite fast and expected her to cut across blindly. I step on the brakes and yes, she did and I nail it down. Wheels lock up and attract the attention of passers by around me, for all the wrong reason, unfortunetly. What a shame, dammit.

Anyway, in all of this, the thing that save me was the brakes of my cars. So, i guess its just as important as they tyre. Replace it when its worn off at all cost.

Oh well, this memories ain't sweet in anyway. But I guess I'll just keep them here, to remind myself of how dangerous the road is out there.

Welcome To My Life - Simple Plan

Now here's a very good song by Simple Plan, one of my personal favorite. Somehow, i find i like the lyrics very good, the meaning's very strong. I like it alot. Maybe its because some part of it actually reflects a part of me. Anyway, here's the lyrics:

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
With no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desparate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
With no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think
I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
With no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like, what it's like

Welcome to my life

A little something about myself

Well, here's a little bit about me. Since this is my blog, so I tought it might be good to have this here...

Well, I'm a guy of 19yrs(at time of writing). I'm living in Malaysia in a state called Melaka ( I was born here to, by the way). Currently studying in a local university. And as one can guess, life as a student is a bitch. I had to splash hundred of bucks each year just for the text book, and the fees itself a hell. But the biggest shit is the academic pressure that's bugging me. I ain't a bright student, and so the low grade I've been getting really piss me off. And I'm taking electronics engineering. Not really what I like, but heck, I've never like any subject in engineering. Its a wonder why on earth I even took engineering in the first place.

I'm still a single guy. Why? I'm not sure myself. Maybe its because I'm not prepare for a relationship with a girl yet. This kind of relationship ain't easy, it has lots of up and down. Probably I'm just not prepare to handle the downs. Also, I find it extremely hard to even start one, as a matter of fact.

Anyway that doesn't mean I have no feelings for anyone at all, as I'm just another mortal, and I'm not a fag. But I dunno what to say 'bout this. She's pretty and have lots of friends. So, sometimes I wonder why would she choose a guy like me over the rest whom is much better off than me? Well, I dunno where this is heading to anyway. Oh well, just hope for the best, as anyone would do. There ain't so much that I can do anyway.

If I have one big problem, it's gotta be my PR. It sucks big time. I do not have lots of friends, and so, most of the time, I'm a loney guy. I dunno why, but I think the fact that I can't speak my mother tounge language makes things even harder for me. All I ever speak in my life is English and Malay. I'm a chinese but heck, I can't speak its language. Damn.

As for my interest, I'm only into PC related stuff and cars. I'm a fan of First Person Shooter games and hardwares when it comes to Pc related stuff. I'm also a big fan of fast cars, and yes, I do love fast driving. Now if only I can buy a Ferrari. Well, anywy, I love driving alot, no matter what car I'm in, fast or slow, big or small. And as one might guess, I'm a big fan of Formula 1 racing sports. My team, Ferrari. Well, it was M.Schumacher who made me love Ferrari 'cause I was a big fan of him after seeing how amazing he bounce back at Malaysia's Sepang GP after a accident which broke his leg and make him sit out for most of the '99 season. But anyway, now I'm a fan of Ferrari even if M.Schu leaves the team.

My aim in life, well, its pretty simple. Just be a sucessful guy. Specific, I really dunno what, but I guess its just to get myself a degree in engineering first, which is my one and only choice.

Well, that's all about me, that I wish to share right now.

Anyway, I hope I'll be able to acess this post few years down the road, to look back and see what a shit I've been in the past, and see if I've improve over the years.

Something interesting about finding our love

I've got this from a forum, lowyat.net. It's something about the search for love in this world. I somehow find it quite interesting, so i guess I'll post it here, for myself and also to share with anyone reading my blog...

Here goes:

Once upon a time, there was a teacher and his student lying down under a big tree near a big grass area.Then, suddenly, the student asked the teacher,
Student : Teacher, I'm confused, how can we find our soul-mate? Can you please help me?Teacher : (Silent for few second, than he answer) Well, it's a pretty hard and easy question.
Student : (Thinking hard) Huh???
Teacher : Look on that way, there are a lot of grass there, why don't you walk there but please never walk backward, just walk straight ahead. On your way, try to find a beautiful grass and pick it up then give it to me. But just one.Student : Well, ok then... wait for me... (walked straight ahead to the grass field).

A few minutes later...
Student : I'm back.
Teacher : Em, well I don't see any beautiful grass on your hand.
Student : On my journey, I found few beautiful grass, but I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it up. But I didn't realize that I'm at the end of the field, and I hadn't picked up any. Cause you told me not to go back, so I didn't go back.
Teacher : That's what happened in real life.What is the message of this story?

* Grass - is people around you
* Beautiful Grass - is people that attract you
* Grass Field - is time

* In looking for your soulmate, please don't always compare and hope that there will be a better one. By doing that, you'll waste your lifetime, cause remember "Time Never Goes Back".

It applies the same in finding your ideal life partner, your suitable career or business, therefore the morale is LOVE & grab hold of the opportunity that you have now, don't waste time!

F1 2004 season ends

Well, last night, sunday i just watch the lasl Formula 1 race of this 2004 season, which is at brazil. Although the outcome is not as what i hope for (I'm a ferrari fan), but anyhow its nice to watch juan montoya take the win for williams, as this is his last outting with this team, beating his future team mate Kimi. There were some actions too, which somehow spice things up a little bit. Anyhow, Ferrari has been very dominating this season, and ever since they secure both title, they had somehow abandon the developement of this f2004 and started on 2005. So, i guess it isn't too much of a worry if we can't win the last round, as we've actually have a head start because as other team are focusing on the current cars to end this season on a higher note, we've already started for the future. Whatever it is, we'll have to wait till australia next year before we can see how much progress they've made.

However, one thing for sure is that what we've seen yesterday is something that we'll never see for sometime, at least for the next few years. This is because starting from next season, MadMax and co. will start introducing a bunch of crappy rules to make F1 slower for safty reason, or so he says. Some of this stupid rules are the raising of the front wings, 1 tyre per race, 2.4L V8 engine and so on...all of this will definetly reduce the speed of F1 cars for sometimes, no matter how much advancement they will make next season.

Of course, advancement in technology will one day bring a 2.4L V8 engine much more powerful than current 3L V10. But this will take years of developement. So for now, lets just enjoy the show of 20 driver taking an evening drive around the circuit.

Anyway, since I'm here, well, welcome u all to my blog...

I basically post my opinion and comments on issues that capture my interest or just simply piss me off. Also, I'll share some of my personal experience and matter here too, in an annoymous manner coz i don't wanna have lawyers knocking at my door with lawsuit on this and that sissy crap.
