For the first time in my life I was affected by vertigo. This is a feeling I hope I never suffer from the rest of my life. With 6 hours of sleep, I went to the gym and then the pool. When I was out of the pool the world tilted its axis and I was spinning around and puking all over the place. Fun huh?
Symptoms include

• Sweating
• Erratic eye movement
• Blur visions
• Nausea and vomitting

Why only 30%? It's not as easy to make as you think if you wanna do it the right and professional way. I'll do a post about it next time.

I woke up today to rush my assignment which is due at 5.00pm. I've done the important part so I just need to finish up the report. My groupmates have a weird way of doing things. We take the same subjects so each of us pick one assignment and do it alone. That means I'm doing this assignment alone while the others work on other subject's assignment. Each person get to do one. How lovely.

So ok, I there's one segment of my assignment codes that I need to verify with my lecturer. So off I went to campus and parked right outside of campus. Went to see him and went to a one hour class. Got out and saw this on my windscreen.

I laughed...hard

So now the police is saman-ing students who park at Emerald Park for "Traffic Obstruction". I mean we have parked there for like the last 4 years with no problem and now.... If you come to Melaka campus you will understand..........

Got home to finish off the assignment and I got a mail from the bank.

Huh?

Seems to me like they entered money into my account but the money isn't mine. Those bumbling buffons over at the bank entered the wrong account number and transferred it into mine. So now they are taking out money from my account. Yay. And I thought I was a millionaire.

Handed in the assignment and went home in the evening. Powered up the computer to find out that there is something wrong with my graphic card. -__-

The fan came off. No attempts to self-fix here

The card still works but I can't play games because it will overheat and make my comp crazy. Gonna have to get a replacement fan which will most probably set me back about RM80 minimum. Hurray. So for now the immediate solution would be...

...get a bigger fan

Had to sacrifice the speakers so I can plug this in. Games with no sound is weird. Seriously.

Then it started to rain. Heavily. Making it...

...flood

...please...

Wow today was so much FUN. Life is sooo much FUN. Looking forward to tomorrow then.

Thought I'd share the love since I've got a friend who's a nub at Firefox.
I'm not using Firefox by the way; I'm on Wyzo, a browser based on Firefox and still in development. So anyway the top 5 plug-ins are suppose to make surfing easier. So let's start.

1. Cooliris Previews

This plug-in lets you preview a website from its link before actually going in the website alone. Just hover over the link. Great for previewing Google search results.

Here I'm previewing Heidi's blog from mine

3. Mouse Gestures

I use the Opera browser as well so mouse gestures have become a necessity for quick browsing. Holding right click and moving it left brings you back to the page before this. Lot's more controls for stuff like a new tab, closing tab, new window, etc.

Notice the bottom of the status bar

And when I'm bored I indulge in a little practice of MS Paint doodles

My leet MS paint skews and notice the status bar going crazy

4. English Dictionary and Spell Checker

Don't wanna screw up with your English while blogging? This plug-in works like your MS Word spell check and checks every word you type. Correct mistakes by right clicking the word and select the corrections. Impeccable English every time.

5. Update Scanner

The plug-in I use the most. I use it to scan friend's blogs for updates and also because I don't wanna use an independent feed reader. I set this plug-in to scan once a day through a list of blogs I wanna read. That's how I know when you people update your blogs :D It even highlights the changes in the blogs.

The past few nights have been busy: with CF, CG, being with friends and gaming...haha. I returned to Priston Tale, a Korean mmorpg that I used to play back in secondary. But I'm on a private server now and if you ever play there pm me :D

So July is over and bulan patriotik is here. The past month was quite happenin' with every weekend spent with friends on outings and parties. All 21 years old ma..sure got lots of parties.
Here are some other less significant stuff that happened to me.



TAYAR PANCITS

On the day of Sue's party I went to church alone; pops was away on retreat. So being late I rushed there and I noticed my front right tire was really bumpy and I thought was some mud that caked on it since it was a rainy day. At church when I stepped out of the car I heard air escaping from that tire. Yay. Some screw got stuck deep in it. I probed the screw and managed to stop air from coming out. So in to the church for service I went. After the service, my tangan gatal I got a screw driver from the bunk and tried to get the damned thing out. And because it is a screw I literally screwed it out. Then air rushed out full force. Being smart I screwed it back in the hole but the damage was done. The tire was all floppy. So in the rain I decided to do the manly thing. Change the tires!. I've never done it before mind you.
So to the trunk I got everything that I needed and jacked the car up and replaced the tires and I was done in 5 minutes.
Woah! I just did something I've never done before in 5minutes. I guess changing tires are a mans thing hahaha.

The dastardly evil little prick..and it isn't even sharp!

RAINBOW CLEANS MY CAR

My friend Baba Calvin Chow is sales representative of the Rainbow Hydro-cleaning system. Basically means he's a salesman selling a vacuum machine. So Eddy Chan and I was invited over to his place to test out this "hydrocleaner".

family car...not MINE

Baba Chow ah beng :)

I haven't really cleaned the insides of my car in weeks but it looks clean.

Doesn't look canggih to me..

So this thing supposedly thoroughly cleans deep into fabric and I was skeptical at first...

this from my car....from clear water to kopi O kau

Isn't this familiar...looks like someone...

Ok I know...not funny...~

It sort of works and I didn't know the car was so dirty. So for the free cleaning services I'm repaying him with this "advertorial". If you're interested, call him for a free demo.

Window Messaging Service

I was leaving the Central Lecture Complex at campus, walking towards my car parked at the lecturers carpark which is closer to classes. From far I could see a piece of paper stuck on my windshield. A WMS or window messaging service(coined by Adrian). So I thought it was from Crew ajak minum or something. But this is what I got.

What the...?

Lecturer? Me? Of course not. Parking in the lecturers carpark? Am I looking for trouble? Of course not. I park there because I have..

..uh huh..my stickers of powaa~!

For those who don't know, these are MMU lecturer car stickers. So I can park anywhere I want!well almost. Don't ask me where I get it because I'm not sharing my powaa with anyone else har har har!! And the person who sent me the WMS?

Our favourite Indian macha~

Thanks Vijay for making me thought I was going to get saman-ed. Joker.

CHEAP INDIAN MEALS

Thanks to Baba Chow again, I was introduced to a really nice Indian stall at Bukit Bruang foodcourt. Tired of a Indian meal that costs about RM5 minimum?

At this Indian stall, everything you see costs a total of RM2.80

Papadam, a curried piece of chicken and two potatoes, two serving of veges and a cup of ais kosong. Winnar! The store owner's a nice dude and speaks a little English. The only downside is that the choices are limited.
And the food isn't really orgasmic-ally nice or anything, but it's good enough to keep me coming back for more.





That's about it. July 2007 was a good month. Off to class now. Bees
