Did that in 3 minutes, so please forgive me. I know it’s crappy.

My excuses for this crappy masthead:

1. I don’t have much free time. My schedule is packed. Still have 2 unfinished BM essay due tomorrow,
2. I’m using a Graphics Gale Free Edition software.
3. 64Mb isn’t exactly sufficient hardware for image editing.
4. I’m planning to make a nicer Chinese New Year themed masthead as soon as i can get my hands on dad’s notebook.

How’s that?

Two women friends had gone for a girl’s night out. Both were very faithful and loving wives, however, they had gotten over-enthusiastic on the Bacardi Breezers.

Incredibly drunk and walking home they needed to pee, so they stopped in the cemetery. One of them had nothing to wipe with so she thought she would take off her panties and use them. Her friend however was wearing a rather expensive pair of panties and did not want to ruin them. She was lucky enough to squat down next to a grave that had a wreath with a ribbon on it, so she needed to wipe with that.

After the girls did their business they proceeded to go home. The next day one of the women’s husbands was concerned that his normally sweet and innocent wife was still in bed hung over, so he phoned the other husband and said, “These girl nights have got to stop! I’m starting to suspect the worst.. my wife came home with no panties!!”

“That’s nothing” said the other husband, “Mine came back with a card stuck to her butt that said… ‘From all of us at the Fire Station. We’ll never forget you.’”

My first tuision lesson with my ex-BM teacher yesterday afternoon.

The lesson was temporarily taking place in my current Physics subject teacher’s rented house. By the time my friend Yin Hann and i got there, which is just a 5 minutes walk from our school, the Physics teacher is home and in the shower. The keys they found somehow couldn’t unlock the gate. So we were kept waiting outside.

And then a friend Yee Ling, who arrived early and was let inside before the teacher went to take her bath, joked that we’ll have to climb in.

Tired of waiting outside, we actually took that literally. First we threw our bags and books over the gate, and Yee Ling helped take our bags in. Then Yin Hann, who has earlier changed into school t-shirt and pants, climbed her way over the gate, and landed safely on the other side of the gate.

All the while i was watching, wondering how the hell am i gonna climb over in school pinafore.

Fortunately they found the key that opens the back door. So i ran to the back door and my BM tuision teacher Pn. Chow let me in.

Phew! All that sweat to get into the house for a tuision lesson.

The 2-hour lesson went well. Pn. Chow, whom i think is quite strict in school, is more friendly during tuision lesson. I didn’t even get scolded for not completing an essay i was supposed to hand in.

Oh, Pn. Chow’s clothes were kinda sexy too. You know, a little low cut in front. [whistle]

She gave us a rumusan to work on. And while we’re doing, she chatted with us. A friend asked about matriculation, and she tells us what she knows, plus gave us tips of a technique to get into goverment universities. Something about the ratio of students. Like if you go study in a state/district where there are few students, the chances of you getting into a gov uni will be higher.

Apart from the rumusan, she wants us to list down the 9 challenges of our Wawasan 2020, the names of the past prime minister of Malaysia, the names of each of the ministry department and the name of the cabinet holders, and also list down the 6 MSC projects (smart card technology, electronic government, smart schools, technopreneurship, e-Business and telehealth).

Almost all of us had a hard time recalling all those names. I don’t take much interest in politics and normally just skip those pages in the newspaper. And it was like, none of us could even name one of the MSC projects. [sigh] Pn. Chow said these knowledge would come in handy if we were to write an essay.

Our lesson for that day ended at 4.30 p.m.. Looking forward to the next lesson, which i think will be on Monday, a replacement for the January’s first week’s lesson which didn’t take place.

I am so sleepy… Had 2 cups of coffee and i’m feeling better.

This year, we have a new Indian girl teaching us BM subject. Though she has only been into the class once, i don’t see how i’m going to get an A in BM under her teaching. She speaks English all the time during our BM lesson!

So i decided to go for tuision, where the tuision teacher is our BM teacher last year. She’s extremely strict and is a woman of a lot of opinions.

I was so glad that she accepted us to her tuition classes when my friend and i went to see her in the staff room this morning. However to gain good results in BM subject also needs a lot of effort and hard work. Which is why at this hour i’m still doing her tuision homeworks which she gave during the previous tuision lesson which i have not yet attend.

This is so frustrating. The bina ayat (sentence making) for Kata Hampir Sama Makna. There’s this question where i need to build a sentence each with the word tolak and sorong. I checked up the dictionary to lookup the differences between the meaning of the two words. The meaning for tolak is sorong; for sorong is tolak. WTF?

Same goes to retak and belah, rapuh and rangup. And i’m using the fourth edition of Kamus Dewan.

Need to finish this by Friday. Better get to work. I might get around 20 more minutes of sleep if i hadn’t write this blog post, damn it.

Sis installed Adobe Photoshop CS2 in her new PC. She bought a pirated one which comes with a broken activation code. Now it’s left with 21 days before the trial version expires. So i’m trying to make it work.

http://www.asta-killer.com/list/photoshop%20cs2%20serial.html

Do these activation codes ever work?

Cuz i tried many times and none of them work. There is no way sis is going to spend US$649.00 on the piece of software she rarely uses (just like what Kevin Rose said). I think maybe i’ll tell her about GIMP later. There’s another one called GIMPshop, but i’ve never used it before.

Weird. Within 2 months, i lost

• my MP3 player
• A pen dad gave me that costs RM45
• 2 literature text books sis passed on to me
• my scientific calculator

I can explain about the MP3 player. It was clearly stolen.

But the pen… i have absolutely no idea. I mean, i seldom use that pen. Kept it at home. And at one time my desk/room was so messy i just chuck everything on the desk. Probably that’s when i didn’t notice it and it just slips… into where? I remember dad borrowing that pen from me not long before i sudddenly feel like using it and couldn’t find it. I still don’t dare tell dad about this. Maybe it’ll show up when i least expect to find it, like things always do when i was a kid.

The 2 literature text books are even weirder. Obviously no one would steal textbooks. What’s more i never had the chance to bring them to school. So it must be at home. I confirmed with sis that she did gave me the books. But somehow, it’s just gone. I look everywhere i could think of. I’ve got to buy those 2 books now. Hopefully they won’t turn up after i bought new ones.

By the way, last year? Sis gave me a whole set of her Form 4 books and they all went poof! Gone as well. Nowhere to be found when i was going to start school. Mum had no recollection of it and me, i sorta vaguely remember hauling the whole stack of books back home. Just how can a whole set of books just vanish like that?!? This makes no sense at all. Sis definitely gave me those books because she no longer has them.

And last but not least, my precious scientific calculator that’s been with me since Form2. I thought i took it out before the long-term end-of-the-year school holiday 2005 started. Coz the last few days in school, the teachers don’t teach anymore and there’s no use bringing it to school. So the calculator should be at home, right? I search high and low for it. Nada. Now i have to pay for a new one myself. Dad says i’m irresponsible, that it’s my fault not taking good care of it. So i’m going to have to literally pay for my new one.

What the hell is going on? you think i might have some kind of illness or something? Selective amnesia, where i don’t clearly remember sis giving me the set of textbooks? I dunno. At this point, i’m desperate. (>_<)

Oh, and applying Adam Khoo’s Ultimate Success Formula. My goal is to successfully find my pen, books and scientific calculator. My strategy was to find it using the traditional way, going through my closet, bookshelf, everywhere and looking from one spot to another. I didn’t accomplish my goal, but gained learning experiences, that that way doesn’t work. Now i have to change my strategy and then take action again. But the thing is, what’s the right strategy to find a thing? I need to Do It Now, Do It Right, Do It Fast.

Another forwarded email i received and want to share with other people.

Long Long time ago, in the Tiger Kingdom lived a pair of siblings. Both were blessed with some gifts. Brother had a pair of eyes who could see a distance far far away. Sister had a pair of ears who could listen to anything.They grew up together and experienced happiness and sadness together. They like to run to the hills to play. Brother would look at far away countries and tell the sister the majestic view that he see. Sister would listen to the beautiful sounds and describe for the brother.

As time goes by, brother and sister started to fall in love with each other. They knew that it was wrong, but they could not control themselves. They continued to love each other.

Alas, their parents found out about it. Father was very mad, mother was very sad. The neighbours would point fingers at them and gossip about them. Brother and sister were adamant about their love for each other. To prove that they were truly in love with each other, Brother destroyed his eyes and Sister destroyed her ears. They felt that since they could not get the blessings, they did not want the gifts…

Long long after, a musician heard this beautiful love story and was touched by it. He decided to compose a song for the lovers. I came across this song and it touched my heart too. However, I did not buy his CD, so I cannot share with you the lovely song.

I remembered the lyrics though, and will share with you how touching this song is…

LOL!

I thought i could write the page just like any normal post but it turned out i was wrong. I found that i have to use < p > tags if i wanna start a new paragraph. A normal blog post has no need of that.

Anyway, that page is basically to promote some pocket pc today themes i made today. Here’s the link. I uploaded a couple to DeviantART. Here’s my favourite one.

A Seashell

You can click on it and it’ll bring you to the Deviant page for you to download.

The only thing i have to do left is to figure out how to put another tab/link, like, below my header. You know, like the first tab is main blog and the second tag leads to the free themes page. Will Google it later.

At first i thought this treasure movie will more or less be like all other treasure movies, but this one’s different. I dunno, gave me some sort of a Da Vinci Code feeling in it. You know with all that conspiracy, masonic, secret societies stuff.

Like it.
