General December 17th, 2004 @ 0309h

Following the post @ Arlong Park forums (lLink) I found out to my surprise that Luffy could be found in Dragonball’s manga! And it was drawn way back in 1992 and OP was started in 1996.

Luffy in dB???

IE Screwup

General December 10th, 2004 @ 1111h

I am shocked to find my website totally screwed up in Internet Explorer. Probably because I triggered the “Standards Compliance Mode” parsing mode in IE and so the non-standard compliance browser began to show the website in total crap.

I am going to redesign soon but before I do you would either have to bear with it or not use IE. This is HOW my site should appear:
Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

And this is how IE renders it. Cool eh?
Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

The problem is with the text all aligning to the center when it should not!

I’m a wildcard?

You are .*	 You are a wildcard.  You are everything to everybody.  You can't make up your mind as to what you want to be.

Digital Fortress

General December 10th, 2004 @ 0839h

Just finiished reading “Digital Fortress”.. It’s not as nice as the other 3 books by Dan Brown but it has been a nice read. But there are also a lot of similarities. At the start I already “knew” who the mastermind was, all according to Dan Brown’s style of making the unexpected become the mastermind. And also yada yada the same thing everything. And if you wanna read a review, here it is. Be wary of spoilers though.

I have been slacking at home doing nothing constructive and homework are not touched, nor did i make any attempt to “revise”.

Hopefully my new site comes up ASAP.

Without wax ;)

Windows Reinstalled

General December 6th, 2004 @ 1143h

I was frustrated yesterday cos of all those stuff on my comp so i reinstalled Windows. But this reinstall caused me to lose all those Warcraft Maps I made myself. Strangely I dont feel any sadness, probably it’s time to move on.

Anyways I reformatted my C drive to NTFS and guessed what, for dunno what reason C drive became F drive and after installation, my main Hard drive became F drive and my secondary hard drive became C… -_-” And I cant change F to C.

I attempted to change but after that windows cannot start :@ So I reinstalled again. But this time I just copited the files and shutdown, going to continue today.

Then today install install all went well. And now my system speed is back to normal, as in the same as my pre-reinstallation. Probably cos of the server service i am running, no choice. And i am tired.. haha

And this entry was basically, pointless :P

Sadness

General December 5th, 2004 @ 0201h

For the first time in life, I bought a wrong textbook. I bought SS Workbook for Normal Academic. -_-” Lucily it is only at most $1.50 if not i would vomit blood.

Today Mee Toh School, my primary school, is moving to punggol. Went there saw a lot of people whom I did not recognise and walkiing around 130 ++ stallls for their fundraising and then came home.

Ez Link aren’t that great anyway

General December 4th, 2004 @ 0132h

As my title have said I seem to have found a flaw in EZ link, other than the fact that my card has been replaced twice (because it was faulty) within less than 3 years.

I was going to school to buy textbooks and i took 158 got off and went to buy. When I was buying another parent came up and was buying books for his son. Sec 3 next year. But his textbooks looked damn strange and I realized that he was in the Integrated Programme.

Then I went to hand ini reflection forms to Mrs Teng and then met Janet tan. Then later i got to the bus stop and found a 158 there, I got up and scanned my card. And guessed what i got, EXIT OK! (I have a habit of not scanning cards when getting down the buses anyway). So I had earned a free ride on the exact bus that took me to the school. The bus had turned one round inside Tanjong Rhu and came out and I took the same bus again. So one free ride :D

And then i went bras basah and bought the remaining books they did not have stock of.

Anyways I have finished Deception Point and it was nice with a lot of similarities with his other books. Prologue speaks of murder, main male and female characters falling in love, Events all happening within the space of 24 hours. And a very unexpected villian behind all those killings and plotting. Cool?

Job Attachment Reflections

General December 3rd, 2004 @ 0709h

I came up with this load of crap that i cant imagine myself writing….


Throughout the five days of job attachment, I have experienced that earning money is not simple as we have to endure long hours of work time. Also I have learnt some skills as well. I had some hands on experience in repairing some of the computers. There were also other students, from polytechnic, having their job attachments. One of them, whom I was assigned to, taught me some skills in diagnosing and then finally fixing a computer problem.

As we first stepped into the company on the first day, I was feeling nervous. After filling in some forms I was assigned to Esther. My first task was to do stock-checking. I learnt that stock-checking was essential so as to ensure that all goods in the storeroom were accounted for.

Next I was assigned to enter some data into the computer database system. I was surprised to find out that Microsoft Excel was the de facto standard for administrative work. I rarely use Microsoft Excel but by helping them do some of the work, I have learnt some of the skills in using Microsoft Excel.

After that I was assigned to “create” a new entry for every case of computer malfunction into their database. It was then I realized why it takes a few days for a computer to be sent in for repair and picked up after reparations. I also learnt the procedures in which a case is processed.

On the third day I was finally allowed to have a hands-on in repairing something. Through the person I was assigned to, Nicholas, I had learnt the procedures of diagnosing, finding the possible cause, fix the problem and finally run tests to confirm that the fix has worked.

I did all of these tasks for a few days. At the end of it, I felt I had gained a lot from this experience. Not only had I learnt some new skills I had a look at the life of a working adult. Though there were times I was complaining to myself about the number of hours I had to spend for this programme, I felt it was all worth it. Though I do not have yet any solid plan for my future but if I am allowed, I would like to work there again as a computer engineer.

Surprise Surprise!

General December 2nd, 2004 @ 2112h

It’s been boring. So nothing to write.

Anyway remember a while ago Hotmail mentioned about getting other ppl’s email to 250mb? Well after such a long wait, I finally have it :P Don’t believe? Here’s the screenshot

And I bought Deception Point and Digital Fortress. The last books I am going to buy this year, I think. Anyway Dan Brown’s next book is coming out next year summer, which is June and will feature Rober again, the main char from Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons.
