Another normal day

Nothing much to write about, not that there's anyone waiting for me to update this. Just writing to burn some time. I got VOS(Virtual Orchestra Studio) which is kinda like O2Jam from Lip Fong and somehow manage to find the VOS creater which means i can create my own songs to play. The only drawback is it requires midi format files. Those who knows me will know what kind of music I'll find and download to edit them. My music will be pretty much sound boring to others. Don't expect anyone to understand why I like them so much. Kinda addicted to VOS because compare to O2Jam, I actually get to play my 'type' of music. Here and out. Nothing much to say. As usual a boring piece of post.

Dark Night

Last Tuesday, was pretty normal except that my house doesn't have any electricity. At 1st I thought at it was the entire row of houses. However, around 6 to 7pm, i was clearly mistaken. It was only my house that didn't have electric supply. We lodge a complain to SESB ( Sabah Electricity SDN. BHD.) and waited for quite some time. Before we made the complain, we call the house owner for help and she sent over a someone to my place. He checked everything that could went wrong but discovered that nothing was wrong. There were electricity in the house but somehow we couldn't have access to it. He suggested that the source of the problem might be at the little box attached to the electric pole in front of our house. We waited for quite some time and call SESB every hour. It was very hot that night and by 11pm, no one came. Some of my housemates wanted to go to sleep, however the heat overcomed their will and we resorted to one thing. McDonald.

Since it opens 24 hours and it has nice air-conds we decide that we would spend the night there, by doing our homework, a little bit of study and we even took our Uno cards there. We stayed there until 1am plus when a phone call came saying that the SESB guy is at our house. Only one person is in the house at that time, which is Dominic. We tried to call him but he didn't answer it. Assuming that he fell asleep, Stephen and Chung Vi went back to the house to check things up. The SESB guy took a quick look and could tell that the problem resides on the little box on the electric pole. And he fixed it easily. I got a call from Chung Vi telling me that it was all done and called me to fetch everyone back. Only there is one little problem, i didn't took the car keys out. Thinking that we would spend the whole night there, i left the car keys at home.

No choice, Stephen had to fetch Chung Vi back here to McD to deliver the car keys. It was that fateful moment that when Chung Vi arrived at McD, he saw "someone was on the floor with these".





And there goes the chair. I wouldn't want to say out the culprit (might be killed when i sleep). We all had a good laugh. Although it was hard on the guy who broke the chair.


Other than this, my week was rather uneventful, unless you consider the Japanese Mid Term and Applied Mechanics test 1 (which i blew it). Hope that I'll enter more stuff in my blog. Although its dying one but I couldn't just leave it to die.

Yours Truthfully,

Lazy Week

Been a bit lazy to update my blog. One of the few reasons is the lack of motivation. However strangely these few days I have a feeling to keep typing things. No particular reason, just feel like typing words. The stupid telekom in Sabah here is damn useless. So they say, within 10 working days that the new streamyx line will be ready. Its bullsh1t. Before we went to apply the line, I already placed my bet that the process will be delayed. This based on my past experience with streamyx. My prediction was right. In fact, the time delayed was far more worse than what i predict. Even now, the line was not establish. And I manage to witness "Way of The Telekom". Telekom blame streamyx, and streamyx blame telekom. Wow. Even without coming to our house to check, they can even say that the cable line used was 'rosak'. Even i can't say things like that without looking at it 1st hand. I could say that their brain 'rosak'. If don't know the problem, come to the house to check. Instead they can sit comfortably and point fingers at other people. I wonder if some people has their brain born in the backside instead of the head. My problem here was not the 1st to happen. Some of my friends also had problem to obtain streamyx in their house. I wish those people would be much more efficient. If they are not capable to do their jobs within 10 days, don't say so.

"Oh, 10 working days is enough." Yea rite. Been calling the contractor the whole day and guess what, i never got through. And the damn fella cut some of my calls. Great. Would someone please bring down the whole Telekom and establish a better telefon service. I'm sick of them.

Money Crisis

Can't believe it, its already more than a week here in Sabah. I already expect that I'll spend quite some amount of money, however the rate of spending is much much more than what I expect. Including the rental for the house, I had spend more than 500 bucks. OMG!! Not exactly the figure that I would give in my 1st week back here in Sabah. I was in total shock by the figure. Got a few text books, and they are definately not cheap. And 2 of them is think and heavy. Ouch. This semester we got a few promising good lecturers. Had some interesting classes in the 1st week. One of the few classes that I was dying to attend back here in UMS is Japanese. This year, my japanese teacher is Chiew Tung Moi. Although I originally wanted Oike-sensei to be my teacher, however the only time i can enter his class is at night. However, I'm not interested in going into a night class. Therefore i had to join other sensei's class. Its not bad. Many of my friends is in the same class.

We already had divided ourselves into groups for assignment and group presentation. My group members are all new friends which 2 of them are from software engineering. Looking forward to start the assignment with them. Chiew-sensei asked us to give her our objectives for learning japanese for the 3rd semester. However, my sole objective is to understand japanese well so i can have more understanding when watching anime and reading their manga. If possible, i would also like to advance to reading some japanese light novels which is very interesting and some of them are made into anime's. However this reason wouldn't be a solid reason to give to the teachers. =.=".

This semester will be a very very busy one as my timetable is very full. Had classes everyday which is from morning and last into the evening. I even had to wake up early on Saturdays as I joined the Fencing Club. When I entered UMS, I was attracted by 2 kokurikulum, which is Archery and Fencing. I somehow manage to enter Archery as my kokum. And is proud to say I had a chance to enter the competition for archery between universities. The offer is very tempting and its a rare chance that i perform so well in a sport. "(I am generally not that good in sports)" I would get to use an advance bow(its expensive), have my own customized length of arrows and other stuff. I really really really wanted to enter it. However, due to certain cercumstances i didn't enter it. I now have the chance to enter Fencing. Yeah!! Looking forward to the 1st training session this saturday. Had a basketball game with friends at 6am then at 9 i have fencing at UMS. Nice to play some sports here as i rarely done so during my 1st year.

Going to watch Hellboy II with my housemates, who some are also my coursemates in a newly opened shopping complex. Hope that i will enjoy my day there.

The Lock Sawing Ceremony Round 2

As if sawing the lock in front gate wasn't enough, we had to saw the lock the the back door. Same results, sawed the damn thing within minutes. Don't buy that brand of lock. No wonder breaking into a house with these kinds of lock is a breeze.

Well, the cleaning of the house continues. We've sweep and mop the whole house. Threw away a lot of stuff. Its been a while since i do this kind of heavy cleaning. We had to wash a lot of things. We strip the fridge and wash it from head to toe. Don't know how the seniors can use the fridge with its horrible condition. Cleaning the kitchen was a nightmare for me as there was a lot of nasty little critters lying away silently waiting to scare its prey. And there you have it. The damn critters are cockroach. Out of all the bugs, I'm most afraid of is cockroach. And there were a least 5 under a box and in between some bricks. Hell break lose when all of them scatter around the whole kitchen when our brave friend spray pesticide on them. Immediately got out of the kitchen and close my room door. My room is just outside the kitchen. If they ran into my room, i swear there'll be a murder that night.

After cleaning the whole day, we had a good rest that night with a dota game. LOL. Its been a long time since i had a 5v5 game with friends. Although i lost all 3 matches i still had fun. After the game i still had 3 hours worth of anime waiting for me to catch up.

The next day, which is today, we cleared the back of the house. There were so much rubbish and dead leaves and branches, it was hell. We had to use at least 7 or 8 big plastic bag to get rid of those stuff. You can imagine it. While cleaning it started to rain a little bit. Then stop, then a heavy one came. Luckily it didn't last very long and we were able to continue with the cleaning. Didn't took any pictures of the house, will do it later. I'm very satisfied with the current condition of the house.

New start at Sabah

Things are much different here compared to home. Of course, this is expected. As stated in Chung Vi's blog, The gate's lock has been sliced by a couple of engineers. These are the aftermath of the problem made by the stupid lock. It deserves this as it has cost us some problems. The night before cutting up the lock, a few of my friends came to play dota. However, the lock is a small problem and my friends had to climb over the gate to enter the house. *This is what Uni students do to get their hands on dota*

The dead lock.


Sawed withing minutes. And i had slept through the entire process. Didn't even notice the sound made by sawing.


You are the man.


The lock cutting event was in the morning. In the afternoon, I went to Karamusing to apply for the streamyx line and also do some shopping. Got a few things. Just within a few days at Sabah I had spend quite a lot of money and is expected to increase. OMG!! Will spend less on entertainment and snacks this semester due to the heavy usage of cash in the first week. Unless anyone is kind enough to donate some to me. LOLZ.

Back In Sabah

Been neglecting my blog for quite some time. Didn't find anything interesting to put in. Unless i count those games and animes i've been downloading. Can't download much anymore till the next holidays. I'm back in Sabah.

My flight was originally 5.10pm, however it was delayed till 5.40. Thankfully it didn't delay any further. The flight was like my other flights. After this flight, it'll be another 5 months then i'll take another flight home. Planning to visit Sarawak at the end of my semester.

Reached my house at about 9pm. Its kinda messy and need lots of cleaning up to do. Luckily my room was already nice and neat.(Thx to Stephen) Just need to clean my furnitures and move them into my room. The internet connection here is not bad. I'm very satisfied with the room and its much more better than the one i had in the hostel. Things has begun to settle down. This weekend will spend most of the time cleaning the rest of the house. I used up quite a bit of money to get some stuff. Hopefully i won't need to spend a lot more. Taking it easy for now.
