Dan Brown's Digital Fortress

I'm sure all Dan Brown's fans have read his "Digital Fortress", and find it crappy compared to "Da Vinci Code" or "Angels & Demons". But for those who manged to finish the book, you must have wondered what the code at the end of the book means. I'm not sure if others are as determined as me to break that code and find out what its about, but I glad to say I've broke it.

As seen on the last page of the book, the code stands in the middle of the last page...

128-10-93-85-10-128-98-112-6-6-25-126-39-1-68-78

at first look, I could tell the numbers were either referring to the chapters of the book or the page number, but what I'm sure is that each number represents an alphabet. Hence my initial guess was the first letter of the first word of every referred chapter. I wrote it on the back of my fullscap pad and this is what it showed...

W-E-C-G-E-W-H-Y-A-A-I-O-R-T-N-U

What the fuck?? That is a load of rubbish.. but it suddenly struck me that at the end of the book, the code that was used to stop the "Digital Fortress" was that of a simpe type of code, the Caesar Box! so i counted the number of letters in the code and it turns out to be 16! A perfect square! just like a Caesar Box! To decipher the message, simply divide the code into four groups of four, and rearrange them vertically like this..

W	E	C	G
E	W	H	Y
A	A	I	O
R	T	N	U

and this is what it reads...

"WE ARE WATCHING YOU"

Immediately, it send chills down my spine... but I'm glad to break the code, very satisfying when it's finally deciphered. For more of these code breaking games, visit www.danbrown.com, but you must first read the book, else it wouldn't be fun...

Bored and lonely

when a person is bored, lonely and misses home, desperate measures are taken...

2 more days...

to Baby's return!! Yippee!!
I feel I'm gonna be back in civilisation..
Well, dates are not confirm yet.. fingers cross.

Eve of Christmas

although christmas has never been a great part of my life, this year is the only time i felt like celebrating it.. unfortunately, got no one to celebrate it with, so i decided to run all my errands before the holiday weekend starts.. cos everywhere should be closed until tuesday..

firstly, i went to buy all my groceries, supermarket was packed with people getting their last minute christmas preparations.. yeah! i bought fish!!! been awhile since i had cooked fish at home.. asked my collegue about the kinda fishes she buys, and she said Basa is so far the cheapest and tastes well.. best thing is that it doesnt have much of the fishy smell compared to the rest..

next, i went to have a haircut.. TopImage was empty when i got there, guess everyone's in the holiday mood.. andrew said his workers when for a break since there isnt many customers around.. i decided to have a change of hairstyle, so i told andrew i wanted to keep the hair at the back.. turns out to be sort of similar like felix's.. boring..

then i went bunnings, to buy the sprinklers the mr. browne chewed up.. before i was entering, i saw this old lady sitting in front, asking for donations for the salvation army.. there was one outside winthrop too, but i was working so i din have the change to donate. but anyway, today i gave $10! i think this was the most amount of money i've ever donated in my life.. "Thank you, God bless you! Have a merry christmas!", she said. i was truely happy to hear that, though i'm gonna have to spend my christmas alone, at least my $10 can help some other people have a better christmas than me.

quite sad hor? i'm hoping i dun have to spend new year alone too...

It's finally back!!!

YIPPEE!! finally got my notebook back.. and upgraded a hard disk as well! 60GB! twice of what i used to have.. actually it wasnt an upgrade, my hard disk was faulty and had to change a new one, so might as well upgrade at the same time... $296 ok.. boring... so expensive...

anyway, guess what i found when i checked my friendster..



WU YA BO??? lim bei can be model?? must be out to cheat my money.. maybe if i lose 9 more kilo then they approach me then i believe.. cos got ppl say i look like edison chen.. but not now la.. now is fat edison.. siao! bo eng entertain them.. but i found one of my ex-campmate is modelling for them.. funny world..

1 week without my laptop

yup, it's been one week.. those stupid technicians are working so slow.. no computer, nothing to do, plus alone somemore.. damn boring sia.. over the past week, i've been to the casino ALONE, watched "King Kong" ALONE, went swimming ALONE, gym ALONE, was thinking of even going to eat Hog's Breath ALONE.. and here i was thinking that that i could spend some quality time alone, do whatever things i wanna do, and now i'm complaining about life in solitude.. haiz.. what to do? it's ok to stay alone, but without my computer, i'm crippled.. all i can do all day is to watch the television, DVDs.. sibei boring la.. can't wait for Jill's return.. latest news is that she might come back on the 29th of Dec, which is 10 days from now.. woot!

just called the stupid agent to ask for the address for the place we wanted to rent, then she like talking to alien like that, machiam i dun understand english, but the fact is that she doesnt understand what i'm trying to say.. so it's not me, it her.. anyway, just heard from her that there's a total of 5 applications for the day, including mine.. haiz, looks like chances of getting the place is slim.. unless we're very lucky.. i tot by raising the rent by $5 per week would be a smart move to make the owner hold the place for a month for us, but after some calculations, it would not be worth it for him to do so.. cos the additional $5 would only give him at most $242 extra, while losing the month's rent of $680.. so, it's either we're very lucky, or he's dumb.. let's pray on the 2nd option..

anyway, i called the repair center, and the guy said my notebook is with the technician and he would be giving a call once it's ready this afternoon. so there i was, hoping to get by my com by today, cos tuesday i would be working and i jus recieved a call from my boss asking me to work on wednesday as well.. haiz.. so if its not today, it would be thursday untill i can see my laptop again.. damn!

4 days since you left..

though it's only been 4 days, it seems like a long time to me. maybe it's because we havent been seperated for more than a week, that's why now is such a difficult time for us. call me carzy if u wan, but sometimes i go into ur room just to smell your scent, and i just realised last night that ur boaster also had the "clean" smell u always liked. why are humans so cheebye? we never treasure the people ard us until they're not ard. we take then for granted. even when we tell ourselves to take then more seriously the next time, as time passes, it'll all be the same.. i'm not saying i dun cherish the times when we're together, just that not as much when we're not.

well, i've got at least 26 days to go before i see u again, so i'll make full use of this time to lose weight, train up my magic skills, pack the house and so on. to think that i'll be spending christmas and new year alone.. well, colin finds it sad, but i dun. both days are just normal days to me, it's just a special excuse to hang out wif family and friends.. furthermore, i dun have the practise of celebrating christmas. i noe this holiday meant alot for my Galwiser, sorry that i cant be back to celebrate it wif u. i hope the Perth-ians have a great time back home, update ur blogs wif many pictures to entertain ur lonely friend...

i miss u baby. it feels weird not to have u pester me.

Happy 23rd Birthday, Baby!!

It was Jill's birthday yesterday, so i tot i would bring her for a romantic dinner.. one of THE most prestigious restaurant, the one she's always wanted to go.. the MOST expensive meal i've ever ate... the C Restaurant. it's the one similar to the one in Mandarin Hotel, a revolving restaurant at the top floor of the building.

Thanks for watching over me,
I'm sorry that I've broke your heart so many times,
I'm sorry to have always made you cried.
Someday I'll join you when the time's right,
That's when you'll hear how I've lived my life.
I miss you alot..

Why must everyone i know be either a officer or commando? haiz.. if not for my stupid PC, asking me about my medical history and wanting me to go for a blood test, i wouldnt have been kicked out of OCS.. it's not like Hep B is like AIDS.. yes, it works like AIDS, spread through body fluid, but only through blood and semen! I could have been standing in the parade square, wearing the No.1, have my dad come put my rank on my shoulders, and finish off by throwing the blardy cap in the air!! but no more, I'm just a stinking clerk.. the only thing i can achieve now is to build a great body, and be successful in my working life.. who cares about army! it the chi-ching that talks!

but if given a chance to relive my army days, i would still wanna be a commando or officer.. or best both! Commando Officer! haiz.. so envy.. the thought of it makes me sad..

and FUCK YOU Captain Peng! it's all because of u that my dreams are shattered! AND YOU ARE A BLARDY HEP B CARRIER YOURSELF!! fucker saboh cheebye kia.. u made singapore lost a great soldier!! nabey...

Ever watched the show "Shutter"?

Do you seriously believed that images of ghosts can be captured by a camera?? I highly doubt so.. see what I did using photoshop...











This picture took me about 10 mins to finish. So, do you still believe in those photos?

No offence Kai, since you always like to talk about death and shit.. I've decided to use you as my "ghost" model.. haha!!

New "One of a kind" wheel caps!!

Remember I mentioned that my wheelcaps got stolen?? I've replaced them, and personalised it!

Before


After


"Toyota Tureno" in Initial D


Nice? I sprayed it matt black so that it looks like the ones on the Trueno in Initial D!! but my main purpose is to 'camo' it so that it can't be seen at night, to prevent mofos from stealing it again.. but the effect turns out good! I hope it doesnt get stolen again... $39.99 leh...

My Workstation!

I've long wanted to post this up, ever since after my birthday, but I was too busy with assignments and stuff.. but anyway, take a look of my precious workstation!!



1. CREATIVE SBS Vivid 60 2.0 Speaker System

This was actually what Jill's dad bought for her to go with her lime green iPod mini.. (Yup, the speakers are lime green in colour.) But since she's not using it, I thought I could use it, as the LED light goes with my workstation theme, BLUE!! and of course, the sound's way better than my previous cheapo speakers..


2. GRIFFIN TECHNOLOGY PowerMate
A birthday present from my mates in Aussie!! I was totally caught in surprise in this gift.. cos I saw it online and it's from US and can't be shipped to Australia.. but Jill managed to find it in the city and my friends shared it as a birthday present! Thanks guys!
Anyway, what this baby can do is that it's a USB control knob.. I know it sounds ridiculous, but besides adjusting the volume, it can basically do what ever you program it to do! Any program! but of cos the main thing is the blue LED that comes along with it.. Cool right?!?!


3. FLEXIGLOW X-Raider Blue-Lit Mousepad
As you can see by now, I'm a TECH freak, and BLUE LEDs stuff turns me on.. Hence, Jill got me this for my birthday! Thanks Baby! This gaming mousepad has a black slick textured surface, with a transparent plastic around it.. underneath is embedded with LED lights, which is adjustable via the dimmer in the cable. Another cool gadget, shiok.


4. MOTOROLA E1000
This is something I bought for myself, cos i was sick and tired or the stupid Nokia 7600.. Wanted something with the normal keypad.. So I happily bought it off eBay, and got cheated selling the 7600.. that mofo from Nigeria din pay me.. cheebye kia... Anyway, this baby has the latest 3G technology, 16-bit TFT colour screen, 1.2 megapixel digital camera, MP3 and MIDI musical ringtone and speakerphone capabilities, and Bluetooth wireless technology. Too bad it doesn't comes with a blue LED keypad..

What could be more?? It nevers stops!!!

It was a bright sunny monday morning, where I was feeling good, wearing my brand new low-waist bootcut Levis jeans (which I got a great deal @ $57) and my favourite pair of leather shoes, heading for the last Technoolgy & the Law lecture. Upon finishing the lecture, I headed for my car, thinking of what to get for lunch, when I suddenly realised my wheelcaps where missing! My first thought was, "Eh? Is this my car??" and yup, it was a Suzuki Baleno with the words "Brandon & Jill's ride" was on the rear glass of the car.. Some bugger STOLE my wheelcaps!! My first reation was to check if all 4 were gone, and yup, ALL 4 was stolen..

"Not again.." I said to myself..

It came to a point where I'm not pissed or anything, but rather something hilarious.. "Could anything more suay be occuring??"

Anyway, adding on to the "suay" events occuring this semester:

1) i lost my wallet at mambo red
2) my bike got stolen
3) my toe got smashed
4) i got cheated of my handphone on ebay
5) my laptop died
6) my wheelcaps got stolen

What more could be happening?? It'll never stops..

Tune in to RideWithPride for future "suay" event!

EFF: Legal Guide for Bloggers

Whether you're a newly minted blogger or a relative old-timer, you've been seeing more and more stories pop up every day about bloggers getting in trouble for what they post.

Like all journalists and publishers, bloggers sometimes publish information that other people don't want published. You might, for example, publish something that someone considers defamatory, republish an AP news story that's under copyright, or write a lengthy piece detailing the alleged crimes of a candidate for public office.

The difference between you and the reporter at your local newspaper is that in many cases, you may not have the benefit of training or resources to help you determine whether what you're doing is legal. And on top of that, sometimes knowing the law doesn't help - in many cases it was written for traditional journalists, and the courts haven't yet decided how it applies to bloggers.

But here's the important part: None of this should stop you from blogging. Freedom of speech is the foundation of a functioning democracy, and Internet bullies shouldn't use the law to stifle legitimate free expression.

For more information on how to protect yourself, check out EFF: Legal Guide for Bloggers

However, I'm not sure whether this legal guide is useful to people outside the US, because of the conflict of international laws, etc.. nonetheless, i feel it's a good guide for all and worth a look, in order to prevent from being sued in the ass for writing some defamatory crap..

First creation!!

I've officially made my first ambigram!!



want your name to be 'ambi-fied'?? it's just a low cost of $49.99!! nah, jus kidding... only $49.49!!

Ambigrams

I'm truely fasinated by ambigrams when reading "Angels & Demons", so I decided to make my own..

Ok... I'm not so talented in art, but i managed to find one on the net with my name.. but the image was too small and blurry.. so i had to hand draw it, sent it up to photoshop and trace it electronically..

after a day of painstaking, eyes-straining work.. this is what i did...



in case of those who hasn't got a clue what ambigrams are, they're words that can be read either way.. or should i say; it's the same word when viewed upside-down..

so izzit readable? was thinking of using it for a tattoo on my arm... hmmm...

Do to others, what you want others to do to you...

I hope I got it right, but at least that's what I was being taught at home.. together with manners and a proper upbringing, before Mum passed on.. the rest is learnt on my own, life experiences, something that can't be taught..

Yesterday presentation sucked. Everyone had overheads and presented in detail about their research. ME? An brief summery of our study, with no overheads.. Anyway, that presentation was a last minute thingy.. Didn't wanna go at first, cos the presentation carries no marks.. go also waste time.. but then I thought we might be getting our individual report back, but never leh...

anyway, i decided not to quit Sakura for the time being... the boss raised my pay after 3 weeks! not much, $0.50 more per hour.. but he made me feel bad to quit.. the other staffs din even get pay rise after working for months! then yesterday me and Jill went to buy BB tea from Sakura, and we met the boss there.. he was like, "BB tea?? free, free.. no pay.." and gave me 2 boxes of sushi.. made me feel even bad about thinking of quitting..

anyone got ideas for a date? 'cept the dinner and movie thingy.. send your recommendations to chekngan@hotmail.com

it's been awhile...

since i last lost it, my temper i mean...

there have been a couple of times where i jus endure and try to not blow up.. of cos not everytime is becos of u, actually most of it is not becos of u.. but keeping all these emotions in me, is like a antimatter waiting to get in contact with a matter, then BOOM!!! (Angels and Demons) i think my temper has gonna better already.. i remembered myself when i was young, a hot-tempered young man who let his anger ruled over his head.. but over the past few years, this pitbull has tone down alot..

anyway, i'm sorry that u had to be the one who directly experienced the explosion.. i can be a jerk at times, i know that.. i'm sorry for always making u cry.. but i'm glad to have u.. to have u around to console me whenever things gets to my head.. but u got to noe, i'm a person who sets my priorities right... well, overboard at times maybe, but i jus cant do anything if my mind is on something else... i stress myself alot.. i set high expectations on myself, and maybe on you as well... i'm sorry to pull u into my mess.. i realised we have different working patterns.. pls try and understand me as well...

i accidentally scratched my car jus now... cos of the stupid pole the owner put on the edge of the lawn.. knn... plus felix's car was partially blocking me.. i thought i might be able to pull through, cos i din wanna trouble him to move his car, since he was having his dinner.. stupid.. it's not a very obvious scratch, but it quite a long one.. fuck.. this would make selling it even more difficult now.. i wouldnt expect to much now... getting half of wat we paid, i'll be happy enough.. haiz..

nothing's going great for me.. hope wrissspoo is right about my fortune.. that i'll be successful and enjoy at a later stage of my life.. but meanwhile, must finish this 10%, 4000 words project... cheebye...

Thanks for the help!

thanks to all those who participated in the survey. the results were amazing! 186 responses in 2 nights! at first i was thinking, "getting 100 response would be kinda difficult.. got 40 i happy le...".

the funny thing is Jill forwarded this survey to her aunt, who is working at the "School of Management" from some insititute, and she forwarded it to her colleague, who is then highly interested in our research and wishes us to let him knowing our findings! haha! People are actually keen on our research! maybe this is a chance to boost our reputation!

anyway, dun keep our hopes too high. Lastly, thanks again, to those who had helped out! your response is greatly appreciated!

work sucks!

for the past 3 weeks, i've been working at Sakura's, the japanese cum bubble tea shop at wintrop. i agreed to work there cos i tot jill would be able to get a job there as well, but it turns out i got the job, and jill din't. anyway, it pays me $8 per hour, but expects the works of $20 per hour! making me work like a horse, no breaks, but lunch is on the house la.. damn bo hua lo.. work so hard, pay so little.. it's not that i cant bear the hardship, it's that i find it unreasonable to pay so little yet, there's so much to be done. whereas the girl working outside jus need to take orders and she get paid the same amount.. just compare the amount of work we've to do la! anyway, i told the boss i wanna quit.. totally irritated..

Who's your daddy now??!

got back the Tech & Law results which i had been eagerly anticipating over the week break.. 30% mid sem exam, 40 MCQ, and only need 30 out of 40 to score 100%, which is the full 30% of the unit. it's like having a 10 mistakes advantage..

even though we had a 10 mistakes advantage, i still study like kaopeikaobu. and hard work does pays off.. lim bei scored 100%!! and not only that, lim bei top lim bei's class together with another girl.. 37/40! if u look at it this way, nobody's result is better than lim bei's! woot! first time in lim bei's life this kind of dai-ji happen sia.. sibei happy sia, must let the whole world noe lim bei is a good student!

"Once a haolian, always a haolian.." Ah Di 3:16

Guess who's in town??!!

I was waiting to get my hair cut when my phone rang and showed "Anonymous" (instead of 'private no' for nokia users). i answered and it was a woman, so my first instinct was that it was Jill's mum, as she called that very morning as well..

"Hello, Auntie ah?"

"Huh? what Auntie??"

"Huh? then who? Meihui ah?"

"Eh, how u noe??? where are you??"

"Oh, I'm waiting to get my hair cut.."

"Oh izzit? Where?"

(feeling weird..) "In Perth..." *duh*

"I'm here."

"HUH??!! WTF?? You must be fucking around with me..." (turning around frantically, thinking that she's behind me..) "Where are you??!"

"I'm serious.. I'm near Carosel.. If I'm not here, how would i know abt Carosel???"

"Oh man... Why din you tell me earlier??!

"It was meant to be a surprise!!!"

I was shocked stiff.. sweating cold sweat... this's a good one guys.. totally unexpected.. to think that all of u can keep me in the dark for so long...

Later that day, finally got to see my Galwiser when we brought her to Hog's Breath to eat her first Aussie steak! I tot she wouldn't able to finish the steak but to my surprise, she actually finished the steak, less the fries and vege.. but it's good enough.. and she wanna go again before going back... that night, Meihui and Colin became good mates.. "Hog's Breath Lovers"...


Me and my Galwiser.


Baby and Galwiser. The two of them are menecingly thinking of going to places to shop... I'm in trouble..


I like the way the sign glows.. we actually forgotten to take pictures in the restaurant, too busy catching up and gossiping about ivan... anyway, since we'll be going again, we'll make sure to take some.

Lastly, thanks May for being such a sweetie and gave me this huge surprise.. It's the best birthday present any friend could recieved!!

Check out what's latest in the cinemas!

Dear all...

I won't be able to update any post for awhile, due to my laptop is dying on me, gonna get it repaired.. wonder how much it would cost me again. guess what? i took 7 hours for it to startup yesterday. i thought i can fix it by formatting everthing, but it seems like a hardware problem, better leave it to the pros..

adding to my list of "suay" things that happened to me again.

australian post just called me and said they've sent the item to the nigerian bugger and that it would be very difficult for me to get back my item.. so more or less i've given up hope on it.. but the lady offered to refund me my postage money, even when its not their fault..

let's compile all those "suay" things:

1) i lost my wallet at mambo red
2) my bike got stolen
3) my toe got smashed
4) i got cheated of my handphone on ebay
5) my laptop died

Note: the events above happened ONLY in this semester.

How I tell you "i love you"

1) by going into ur room every morning and giving u a peck on ur cheek.
2) by constantly torturing you, slamming you on the bed, squeezing you tightly
3) by calling you names such as, "FuckFace" and "ArseHole"
4) by sleeping on ur bed every night, knowing that i'll be chased out later
5) by forcing you to study and not ebay so much
6) by cooking for you everyday
7) by making you wash ur dishes STRAIGHTAWAY after u eat
8) by bringing u to places even when i dun feel like it
9) by giving you a kiss everytime before i leave the house (although u din pay attention, busy ebaying)
10) by writing this on my blog, knowing that felix's gonna mock at me

'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' Movie Exclusive

Moviefone: 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' Movie Exclusive

it's getting nearer... November 18th... i'll burn this date in my brain.. i reckon it during my exams preparations... but nevertheless, i'm catching it in the cinema, FIRST day of screening!

meanwhile, catch a glimpse of the latest trailer.. where u can see mad-eyed moody and the part where sirus black talk to harry in the fire place..

something that i drew using photoshop... i remember this used to be my sec 2 technical project's theme.. we were told to make a clock face.. it was difficult to spray the color on the plastic as the webbings were quite small.. but i finished it anyway, with compliments from my teachers! 

A bird's eye view of my life in Perth

It's been quite sometime since i've been here and i'm sure friends in s'pore are curious about my living environment here in Perth. Therefore, i'm taking this chance to let u guys have a look!



This is a view of my school, Murdoch University. Here's what i do in school:

1) Gym - this is where i workout everyday, or at least i try to...
2) Lectures and tuts - the place where they're conducted.
3) Bush Court - the place where lazy aussie lie on the grass and ROC (Relac-One-Corner)
4) Library - the place i would go if i needa photocopy stuff..
5) Big grass patch - where the horses and cows are stationed at for the evil experiments of Vet science students.
6) Student Village - where me and Jill usd to stay..

Next up is my place.



As you can see, our place is within walking distance of rina's and Booboo's... the line in red is the route i suspect Booboo took when he tried to escape his evil owner..

How did i managed to get these pictures? there are 2 ways of obtaining pics like these.
1) Rent a helicopter and fly it over your place,
2) or a cheaper alternative is to download the Google Earth!

Here are some other place i've found..





Have fun finding your house!

为什么受伤的总是我，到底我做错了什么？

First is my wallet lost, then my pinky smashed, now even my bike got stolen. I really dunno what to feel. Izzit really a coincident to have it stolen on this day, Sept 11th? Well, I'm lost for words for the moment. People back home, please help me keep a lookout if possible. Below are the descriptions of my bike:

Model: Honda Phantom TA200
Colour: Blue / Black
Number plate: FX1082J
Others: Black rear box with sidebox panels ONLY, wide handle bar with eagle grips



A police report has already been made. Anyone with infomation, please contact Raymond at 8100 5877. Thanks.

In memory of the September 11 victims

was just randomly surfing the web and suddenly realised that today's the day where a disastrous event hit America. To think of it, they haven't caught the bugger responsible for that! Osama Bin Laden, the wickest of all evil-doers.


Death is too cheap a price for him to pay.

Such a coincidence, Wriston was just explaining to me how the stock market crashed with the occurance of 911.. He said that those who bought shares during that time must've earned quite a pile.. that's the cruel side of shares; your profit at others' loss.. so loo-gi...

The Students' Sketchpad:

came across this blog which is really funny and interesting.. although it mostly talks about those pretisge private schools and mock on neighbourhood schools, its all in for the sake of a laugh... these 2 artist are really good i reckon.. good drawing + good sense of humour..

i called the ranger today, FINALLY got thru, and found out that someone recently file a report for a lost dog that fits our description of Booboo.. it turns out to be an asian girl by the name of June Lim. her place was at somewhere near our place, within walkable distance.. so we decided to return it to its rightful owner.. it was kinda like a bitter-sweet situation.. the house seems kinda empty now without the presence of Booboo.. a part of us is happy that we could find the owner, another part of us couldnt bear to part with it. oh, it's name is "Loopy" by the way.. sounds retared eh? anyway, all's good now.. the owner's wasnt at home but her housemates were.. the guy was someone colin knew, and he said that it was common that they lost Loopy, as it often run out on its own.. 3 - 4 time a week! what kind of irresponsible owner is that?! he said Loopy was so stong that it bang down the door of their backyard gate, but usually managed to find its way home.. well, if only i din itchy hand and brought it in the house the other day, i could have attended my Law lecture! chey! waste time...

i was smoking outside the house when i found this dog wandering in our front lawn without an owner. we name it 'booboo', no particular reason. Booboo is a super attention seeker, super teh, always want people to sayang him.. fucking horny dog.. keep wanting to hump my leg.. i dunno what to do if i can't find it's owner... send it to the pound maybe? but 1 thing is for sure.. as much as i like booboo, i can't keep him..  

This is me.

I'm a Type A steamboat person.

Shy, a bit of an introvert. You are more stubborn and like to stay alone quietly at home. To you, talking to strangers is a hard thing so you have not much friends. But you will still have some soulmates. You need to treasure people who care and love you. You are more interested in your own matters, you will try your very best to achieve your target. But you can't do everything alone, and just depend on yourself, learn to open up and accept other opinions. Try to get along with different people.

A Trip to Caversham Wildlife Park

It was during the one week study break that we decided to spend some time having fun enjoying ourselves.. adding to that, wriston friend, jonathan, came down for a visit.. so we tot it was a good opportunity to bring him around as well.. we took an hour's drive to swan valley, that's where the park's located.. upon reaching there, the girls were overly excited about the kangeroos and koalas.. below are some pictures we took..

it is strange that although Felix couldn't spare the time to join us for this trip, we could still feel his aura around us...

YIPPEE!!

got back my tech&law essay back.. before it was handed back to me, my tutor was there commenting that she empasise on just week 1's stuff.. but yet there are ppl who chose to ignore her advise and wrote abt other topics, i.e. copyright stuff... i was one of those try to act smart alec.. BUT THEN! 17/20!! TADA! i was most surprised! i tot she was talking abt me.. and i was expecting fucked up marks.. not bad eh?

"i think u should be happy with ur marks.." she said, to both me and jill..

first time i got such good grades for my essay.. happy sia...

A well deserved break, Brandon!

I could think that I deserved this break, because I feel I've been working really hard this sem, even my housemate says i'm not fun anymore.. it quite a nice feeling, to get a break after working so hard.. but, even saying that, this break is not meant for us to play, more like working on the assignments that are gonna due after that.. luckily no for us, or at least 2 weeks after the break..

jus finished the "annotated bibliography".. i find it quite frustrating to try and co-ordinate everyone's work if we're not aiming the same level.. those aiming for better results will tend to put in more effort, while those who aim for pass might say, "5% only what, give him la!" even though its only 5%, what's wrong with doing a good job? every % matters to me. it really frustrates me when people jus hand in a half-fuck job, just for the sake of handing in.

anyway, it's all over for now.. at least i can take a rest, watch some animes, photoshop, blogskin, etc...

Brandon, your Super IQ score is 117!

Your overall intelligence quotient is the result of a scientifically-tested formula based on how many questions you answered correctly. But it's only part of what we learned about you from your answers on the test. We also determined the way you process information.

The way you think about things makes you a Creative Theorist. This means you are a highly intelligent, complex person. You are able to process information of nearly every kind with ease, using both creativity and analysis to make sense of the world. Compared to others you also have a very rich imagination.

How did we determine that your thinking style is that of a Creative Theorist? When we examined your test results further, we analyzed how you scored on 8 dimensions of intelligence: spatial, organizational, abstract reasoning, logical, mechanical, verbal, visual and numerical. The 3 dimensions you scored highest on combine to make you a Creative Theorist. Only 6 out of 1,000 people have this rare combination of abilities.

Click HERE to take the test.

Congratulations, Brandon! Your IQ score is 129!

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.

Your Intellectual Type is Visual Mathematician. This means you are gifted at spotting patterns — both in pictures and in numbers. These talents combined with your overall high intelligence make you good at understanding the big picture, which is why people trust your instincts and turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.

Take the Brandon's challenge here! Scared ah?? Make sure to tag the results on my tagboard! Fake scores will not be honoured.

2nd MAMBO RED 2005

This semester's Mambo was as usual, held at Northbridge, Paramount Nightclub. There were much more people this year, but no fights?!! wtf? S'poreans gather twice a year for this event and no fights? boring la.. tot i'll pick up one myself, but unfortunately, there wasnt a opportunity to pick a fight with.. but instead i lost my wallet.. nabey... it was the wallet Jill bought me.. the braun bauffle one.. and also 50 bucks.. the rest wasnt so important.. i just renewed my driver's license, so the new one will be popping in my mailbox anytime.. Gym card, hmmm, can always make a new one, thks to photoshop! ATM cards, $15 for replace my ANZ one.. fuckers.. actually nothing much that's important.. my s'pore stuff are all kept at home... only thing is the wallet and the money.. but my only consolation was that i've taken $250 out of my wallet before i left home.. those were the cash that i was intending to use for my next rent payment. heng sia... i tot i was lucky enough to picked up $2 from the dance floor, that bastard who picked up my wallent must be a-hell-of-a lucky son of a bietch... fuck la! now i'm wallet-less..

i dunno how i feel.. seems like the first time i lost something.. i'm abit pissed, abit sad, abit of alot of emotions.. mixed feelings.. i knew there wasnt much chance of finding it.. well, i guess i'll stick to carrying my pouch next time.. as least not so easy to lose stuff.. at least i'm not as bad as my Galwiser, who i guess by now must be numb at losing stuff..

anyone interested in sending an early birthday present? :)

Presentation sucked big time!

This morning's presentation for "Consumer Behaviour" sucked big time man! I never had a lecturer interrupting the presentation to comment about a student's work. Where got people say that what you are presenting is wrong in your face one??!! and tells the class that this is not the right way to do it.. 他妈的!! this is not right loh.. even though we were given an extra mark for being the first presentation, also not right to use us as guinea pigs right?!! 超极白 la!! this's the worst presentation i've ever had..

I've just realised...

that you could be famous and featured in the newspaper just by showing some skins! (not you, boys...) Girls I mean.. SPG.blogspot.com already created a big hoo-ha by showing off her perky tits on her blog.. now, a friend of mine, Sandra got featured in some dodgy chinese papers cos she bared her back! wah lau eh.. I tot i've already flashed my titties before??!! when's my turn on getting featured on the papers??!!

Friends back in S'pore: "Can you guys read the papers more often? and lemme noe when they featured my blog? Or do i have to show more skin?"

HA! You're a fool to believe me..

My skins download rate hasn't been good recently.. so far, only the Kakashi one is doing well.. WHY??? i ought to come out wif nicer design when i have the time.. which i have not, due to my busy schedule of revision and assignments..

It's the people who wants to know me scares me.

One bad experience is enough for me to stop adding people I dunno into my "friends" list.. i seriously wonder how girls feel when those desperate guys send dorgy messages like this (above) to try and make friends with you.. tsk tsk tsk.. (head shakes..)

What the fuck is Kanga?

was watching 'Big Brother Uncut' just now and there was this part were the boys decides to pull a trick on the girls.. Dean, suggested that they do a "Kanga", which is, to sit on the opposite direction on the toilet bowl, i.e. facing the wall, and take a shit, so that the shit will land on the dry side of the bowl and thus leave a shit-slide stain on the bowl.. Yesh, kinda gross, but don't you think it's funny?

So the deal was among all the guys, to shit in the girls' toilet, doing a Kanga.. the loser will be the one who got caught in the act.. Dean the brave, was the first to perform a Kanga on the girls' toilet.. As expected, the girls were TOTALLY grossed out.. so they came out with a revenge plan of their own, which is, to place a used tampon in the boys' toilet.. the tampon wasnt really used, just juicily stained with ketchup.. the boys were too grossed out.. in fact, their reaction was even bigger than the girls.. Bunch'O wussies.. a lil blood makes aussie blokes sick, and scream like a girl.. *pui!*

Dont u think Kanga is a good idea of playing a prank? haha.. ought to try it one day..

Can someone return my luck please?

YA, I'm totally speechless... The past 2 days has been quite an experience for me... When to Burswood with $250, came out with $205. Missed the "Gold Coin" on the money wheel 6 times... Roulette and dice, play big, come small, play small, come big... blackjack kept getting 13, 14, 15... Baccarat, bet player, banker wins, bet banker, player wins...

Last night mahjong session, finally found a table, one of Kelvin's Mum old tables, better than nothing... Shitty tiles, no flower or animals, or else do 'Ping Hu' then one irrelevant flower come... Big Brother for the night, almost ALL the game is I throw one... When finally got to listen, the unwanted tile was someone's winning tile... 5 tai, ban se, ping hu, zi mo dunno how to game... last night was the worst night in my mahjong history... I felt like I was Andy Lau in that "Nikuniku Mahjong" movie... Maybe it's time to visit the temple...

iPod mini got problem... kept clicking on its own and backlight flashing... fucking sian la... everything I touch seems to be shitty... What's that word to use when to describe someone who touch anything and turned into gold?? Ya, I'm the opposite of that now...

Guess I'm gonna lay low and stay out of the gambling scene for awhile... Can someone return my luck please? I need it after you are done with it... I need a 8 million dollars lucky charm...
