Catch Up + Current Schedule / Update + Future Plan + A Word Or Two (APRIL 2013) by
24 April 2013|0 talkative person(s)

Assalamualaikum and a very lovely day to all~  :D



First and foremost, I would like to apologize to everyone that I did not update recently~ I think the last time I update is around October last year. It's not like I did not want to update, but because of my tight schedule, I keep forgetting to update every time I have the chance. That is because I'm using that free time for me to have enough rest.
If you're wondering what I have been doing since last October, here's some stuff that you guys might interested to know;

Pretty much it. I'm pretty busy with all the stuff that I need to catch up. Honestly speaking, I need some space to breath.
Another reason is that my internet connection in my collage are kinda slow, so I can't really surf the net much, since it's a hassle to just wait for a good internet connection.



So that's the end of explanation of what's going on from October 2012 until recent. Now I'm going to explain my current schedule / update, which is since after my last final exam paper (14th April 2013).

After my final exam, I have to stay at Arau for a while. That means, no holiday for a while. Why? Because I have to attend training for the coming debate competition. By the time you guys read this post, I'm currently waiting for our flight to Kuching, Sarawak for Keyalang Debate Open.

With my team mate, Aidi Sauqee~ :D
I personally feel a little disappointed because the Penang Debate Open supposedly to be held on the 18th April,  but because of PRU13, they have to change the date of the competition. (I think that's the reason). Oh well, that only means I have to constantly travel and it's going to be a very busy week / month for me. Which means, no holiday for me. Oh well, a great man need to sacrifice something for a greater good.
Praying that everything went well while I'm there, amin.

Next, I would like to explain my future plan after I came back from Sarawak.

We're supposedly be back to Penang / Semenanjung on 29th April, 11.30AM. That is, if they stick with the original plan, which is I hope that's the case.
After that, I'm thinking of creating another blog. Not that I want to leave this blog; my other blog is more to personal blog; what's going on around me, what I've been doing. This is mostly are for my family, friends and anyone that close to me, so I'm still deciding if I should private my personal blog or not. But I think you bros want to get some updates about me, so I guess I should let the setting as it be.
Then, I'm going to stay at KL for a while, then visit Jengka since my best friend are dying to meet me, then going back to Rompin, again because of my best friend. Of course, my family as well.
I'll be staying until Teacher's Day, then I have to pack my stuff back for going back to Arau to train my junior for Penang Debate Open. I'll be the judge for the next event instead of as a contestant. It is for give way for the junior to took part of the competition in university level as well.

I think that's all for now. But before I go, I think it would be wise if I should say something a word or two.

It's been a while since the last time I'm riding an airplane to go somewhere. The last time is when I was a little kid, to Medan, Indonesia if I remember correctly. For that point, my ambition is from a teacher to a pilot. That is, is when I was a little kid. When I was still an innocent, pure kid. *ehem*

But as I'm getting older, things changes without I even realized. But apparently, thanks to that changes, I found my true, real talent; ICT. And it's all begin in Rompin, Pahang.
Sitting here in Penang International Airport makes me realize how much things change, and because of that, I'm also changing. You can also say that I'm evolving according to the development and advancement of current technology.



What I'm trying to say is, the original plan sometimes is not the correct and accurate plan for you. You just have to move along and improvise on what you're going to do in the future. You can't expect things goes according to plan; it will in some certain cases, but in life, that's not really the case unless if you're wise and smart enough to predict your own future.

Which I try before, and epicly fail. I still remember I'm studying my Physic subject back when I was in high school, and I'm studying so hard, I'm aiming for 'A' since you need to get great grade to enter piloting school. But ever since Form 4 until the end of Form 5, I end up getting 'C' or 'B' for my Physic subject, while I got 'A' for my ICT subject. Every single exam. Even SPM.
So after a few discussion with teachers and family members, I decided to pursue IT field, and apparently, IT field fits me perfectly.

I never expect of taking IT in the first place. In fact, I'm consider IT as my hobby since I know that I'm good at IT stuff because I'm always explore for myself whenever I want to know about IT stuff.
Basically, you need an aim first. If things change, improvise. That way, even you can't get what you're aiming, you got something much better for you in the future. Try to think about it for a second. :)

Aim high...I guess I'm not 'aiming' high enough.

Oh yeah, speaking of aiming, I always aiming high, but in this case, I guess 'sky' is an appropriate answer for the picture above. xD
Well, I guess I can 'jump' higher than the picture above later, when I'm going to Sarawak. :)

That's all from me folks. Wish us luck in our debate competition, for both BM and BI team. I'm aiming high. Sarawak, I'm coming for you.

P/S: GOOD LUCK UiTM ARAU'S DEBATERS, BOTH BM AND BI! WISHING ALL THE BEST! :D

A Little Walk Make You Wonder : Alor Setar by
17 October 2012|0 talkative person(s)

Assalamualaikum and a every good evening. :D
Before I want to write about today's entry:

This entry is dedicated to you, N.


Today, I've decided to go to Alor Setar. There's a lot of reason why I want to go back to Alor Setar, and some of them are:


So, to begin my story, I slept kinda late yesterday, around 3AM for some reason. And luckily, I woke up pretty early, around 8AM. After some preparation, I decided to go out around 10.30AM because I'm supposedly have to wait for someone. But last minute canceling makes me decide to travel alone. So I ask my friend to sent me to KTM Arau, but unfortunately, I missed the morning train (as the next train would be on 7PM), so I decided to have a breakfast at Arau then head to Kangar to catch a bus to Alor Setar.

Humble breakfast at KFC Arau

Ignore the picture above. As I said, a humble breakfast. Anyway, after having a breakfast, like I said, I decided to catch a bus to Alor Setar. And I thought it's going to cost RM8-10 per trip. To my surprised, I'm using Transnational, and it's only cost RM5. My first impression was: That's cheap!
So, I sat alone and thinking during my travel to Alor Setar. My first question is: Are Google Map really accurate? How I'm going to my destination from one point to another point?

So, after I arrived at Terminal Shahab, and the first thing I do is checking the map, distance from the terminal to City Plaza. It's quite near, so I decided to take a cab. I think it's about 5-6km, and it's RM10. Worth it? Maybe. Anyway, once I arrived at the City Plaza, I'm eager to check some places...Kedah Medical Center, or KMC for short. There's a reason why, but I won't tell you guys coz it's rather personal.

So I decided to use my "trusty" Google Map. And according to the map, KMC should be near. To my surprised (damn, so many surprises), it's not KMC. Rather, it's a government's building. At first glance, it does look like a hospital. Then I started to ask the local about it's location. Supposedly, it took about 5-10 minutes by car to go to KMC from where I am at that time. I want to go, but I don't have any business there, so I drop that and decided to walk inside the City Plaza.

It's been a while since the last time I've been there. As a traveler and a journalist (well, not a real journalist, so-called one lah), I'm trying to collect some information with my sight. If necessary, I have to asked the local if I want to know something.

There's something I want to buy actually. A sweater shirt. Not the zipper kind of sweater, but it's a shirt, but it's rather a bit thick than normal shirt. I remember I own one before, but I can't remember when. As I recall, it's not actually mine, someone gave it to me. So I decided to have for my own. But unfortunately, none of the shop sold that. Bummer. So I decided to go to the top floor. The cinema and the arcade.

The current show that's playing during that time is "Cinta Beruang", "Aku Terima Nikahnya" and Hantu Kapcai". Honestly, I could understand "Aku Terima Nikahnya", but "Cinta Beruang"? Dude, seriously? A bear? Wait3...here's a worse joke...Pedobear? HAHAHA! xD (Google it if you didn't know what it is, or simply click the word)

Sorry, I got carry away. Anyway, since I'm alone, watching a movie alone is quite unusual and a bit awkward, as I've been trained to watch with another person or more. Minimum 2 person including me is needed. So I decided to hit the arcade. There's no longer my favorite "Time Crisis 4" there, so I decided to play another shooting game. Something to do with elevator, but I've played it before. It just this time around, I'm playing it solo. As I advance, I've never played a shooting game that long during that time, consider that I'm playing it solo. After I died in that game, I decided to play another arcade called "Initial D 5th Arcade Stage". You must be wondering "Why the hell you telling us all about this thing?" Relax, there's a reason. I'll tell you at the end of the entry.

I was wondering around and I saw this. I was like KYAAA! It's finally released in  Malaysia! When I look at the price, I almost split my Coke before I'm choked. You read it right people, for original N3DS game, it'll cost RM230. -.-


So, around 6PM, I decided to have dinner at McDonald's. Ahh...it's been a while since the last time I ate McD. As usual, I decided to eat my usual Double Cheese Burger. And lucky me, it's McValue Dinner time, so it's pretty cheap. After that, I decided to go back to the campus.

Sounds a simple walk, right? But during all this event, I've think a lot because of some curtain event that occur. To be honest, when I'm at Kangar, I told someone that "You'll learn under two condition; either you want to learn or you have to." It's a bit weird, as I learn because of both reason. Call me a serious type guy, I might be that kind of person. So, here goes:

While I'm at Arau, I saw a guy, Chinese I guess. And my first thought was: Why he's choosing to be like this? What cause it to be like this?
And as the thoughts flowing, it accidentally includes the much more worse group; the beggar. To be honest, I've been encounter a group of beggar before. The worse one is when I'm travelling to Rawang during that time. He's Chinese, and he's demanding that I should give him money. I though of giving RM1, considering that I'm a human being, but when he ask for more, I started to ignore him. And it's get worse; he started to force me in an annoying way. To be honest, I swear to God that I'm going to punch that beggar's face, consider his cocky's tone he used and the way he's annoyed me. Everyone around me was watching the scene, waiting for what's going to happen next. At that time, I didn't care at all if I actually punch that beggar.
But I'm trying to live without violence. So I scream to that guy that if he keeps annoy me, I'll call that police. And he ran. Well, that works. But I think a punch would solve the problem faster though. Who cares, there's a lot of witnesses that can support my statement as "self defense" and "public harassment". But like I said, I'm trying to live without violence, so...
Ops, sorry. Off topic. Anyway, the Chinese guy I saw back at Arau makes me think, and the only thing that came across my mind was "He's an earnest man, trying to live his life the way it's suppose to be." In other words, effort. Yes, effort. In fact, even that guy is only working as one of the cleaning services, he's doing something to survive. At least he's not going to annoyed other people, beg of money. I mean, where's our pride on that? Beg for money?
But I think back, and I blame both part; the beggar and the system. The beggar, for not take the effort to change his/her life, and the system that didn't encourage them to do something even the simplest job world can offer.
I don't usually blame one side, I blame both sides. I usually said to most of the peoples that "There's no right or wrong in this world; it just two different opinion."

That's that. Another thing that I learn is I'll never trust Google Map if I'm going back to Alor Setar. I mean, the major buildings were okay like hotels and bus station, but the school and the hospital were actually moved to other location. So, if you ever want to look for a place and you're using Google Map, please check other possible and reliable maps and information that you can find. Seriously. Google Map for Malaysia is actually outdated, and i don't know for how freaking long was that. Prove? If you're living at Rompin like me, you can see the Rompin Beach Resort (RBR for short) is actually located the opposite way then the actual location for RBR.

Next, something happen back at McDonald's. It's actually kinda common thing happen inside McDonald's, but I've never actually see it for real.
What it is? Simple; someone is taking some stuff from the condiment bar (the place where sauce, spoon, sugar and pepper), it he's taking a huge amount of it. And again, it was Chinese.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't racist. I wasn't believed it myself, but it's the truth that I actually saw with my own eyes. Anyway, he's taking a lot of spoon, sugar and pepper and put it inside a bag.
I was thinking this kinda person, and the sentence "Take for granted" pop up inside my head.
As I'm thinking about this, I remember something happen to one of my friends. She's keep bursting out at Twitter, saying about a person that have backstabber her. To be honest, I've feel that before. A lot. And it's actually painful. That's why our mom and dad always told us that "We need to choose our friend carefully." To be honest, I have lots of friends, but I don't really blend into the peer too much. As the result, even if I had a friend who's smoking, I won't get influence by them to smoke along. And another result is you'll somehow left behind something great happen. Pretty much they'll remember you when they need you. But I already adapt that kind of situation, so...
I had a best friend back at Rompin. At first, he wasn't a smoker, and in fact, he's against smoking. But look at him now, he's a smoker now. But I don't blame him, it's because of peer pressure and his own stress. That's why it's important to choose your friend and learn how handle your stress wisely.
Why people take something for granted? There are most probably a lot of answer, but one of them that I could think of is greedy. People always want to take something on his/her own advantage. But remember, what goes around comes around. People would might going to used you as their advantage. Give and take, that's what you'll need to do.

Next thing that I learn is when I'm at the cinema. Most of the times, I used to be alone, do things alone and solve things alone. You can say I'm a lone wolf. But for some reason, deep inside my heart, whenever I want to do something fun, I want to do it with someone that's close to me. With that, it caught me thinking, no matter how long you want to be alone, in the end, you'll need someone, one way or another. I keep thinking about it when I'm standing in front of the counter, and I left with a sigh.

On the way to Kangar, alone inside the bus.

It's time for me to go back to campus, and I decided to used Mara Liner bus~ It's a bit expensive than Transnational bus (RM6.30), but as long as I've reach my destination, it should be fine. 
Behind me was a beggar, but I can't assume his race though. Why I say he's a beggar? I'll explain later. With that, my conversation with him makes me thinking.
It all start when I pull out my laptop from my beg because I want to charge my phone. The beggar notice my action, and he's kinda fond with my laptop. But he asked me rather weird question:

"Is that a TV?"

I said no, it not. And he guess it was a computer. I say it was correct, and he's getting more and more interested. I just show the basic function of the laptop, but I didn't show him that a laptop can play video and songs, as I don't want him to keep bother me. He's kinda satisfied, consider thousands of question from him. Then he asked another question. He asked my age. I told him that I'm nineteen (sembilan belas in Bahasa Melayu), and he thought that my age was ninety (sembilan puluh). I repeat again that I'm nineteen, and he said "as in 1 and 9?" (Satu sembilan?) I said yeah, 1 and 9. In return, I asked his age. He said that he's 5 and 0 (Lima kosong). Fifty, for short. When we're arrived at Jitra (which is he's destination), he said "Welcome" (Selamat Datang in Malay) instead of "Goodbye" (Selamat Tinggal). I just repeatedly say "Selamat, selamat", as I remembered my Add Math teacher usually said that to me. He grab a cup, and I can hear "kaching kaching" sound. The sound of the coins. With that, and he's sloppy look, and the way he's talk, there's no mistake that he's a beggar.
After he left, I keep thinking about him. I mean, he know about basic stuff, but that's it. He's limited to things that he need to know.
With vast amount of information and technology has evolve, he can only can say basic thing. Then it came back to square one, effort. During his young, does he have the effort to do something to change his life? I mean, my Pak Long (my oldest uncle) is way beyond 50 years old, but he's still standing, he's kinda wealthy and most importantly, he's educated. So what's makes this two person different? I keep wonder about it, and yet, the answer remains the same, effort.
So guys, without an effort, we couldn't change our life. Our decision will decide how's our future look like.


As I came to Kangar, my heads had clear a bit. Actually I'm in the mood swing mood, but with all those thinking, I'm actually educate myself to be more mature, more open and think something critically before I started to do something. And I finally came back with a smile.

So that's all for today. Basically, it's one of my ways to makes me think, so next time if I went to somewhere alone, I'll blog about it. I mean, what I've been thinking during my travel. Until next time, see ya! :D



What is GIS? by
10 October 2012|0 talkative person(s)

Assalamualaikum and a very good evening to all. :D



As I write this, I was wondering some of the IT jobs that is available in Malaysia. Then I came across Esri which was introduce from my cousin a few months back. I wonder what it is, so I've done some of the research about it. For IT and Geometrical student, you're in the right place to seek for a job, because GIS is the most demand job so far (as I heard).

Have you ever wonder a world without a map? Did you know how people gain information about the weather and display it to our television with colors? Have you once in a while check the mall's map when you're lost inside a mall? Have you notice there's different colors that represent something?

That's GIS, which is stands for Geographic Information System. As you can see the above picture, that's one of the examples of GIS. According to Esri website:

"A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.
GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts.
A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared.
GIS technology can be integrated into any enterprise information system framework."

So, what's the benefit of using GIS? There's a lot of benefit in different fields. Among the are:
Business:
Economic slowdowns around the world are forcing organizations to rethink how they operate. Many are realizing they need to find a way to do business smarter using in-house resources. Now is the time to invest in geographic information systems (GIS), a solution that has helped many organizations overcome their operational challenges and deliver improved profitability —using GIS software and data allows them to make better, more informed business decisions. ( Source: http://www.esri.com/industries/business/index.html )

Defense and Intelligence:
Most national security decisions involve geography. Whether assessing potential terrorist targets, planning where to strike on the battlefield, or deciding where to locate a new building with minimal environmental impact, geography always comes into the equation. GIS software plays an increasingly important role in making these types of decisions. ( Source: http://www.esri.com/industries/defense/index.html )

Education:
GIS technology provides the education community with tools to develop a greater understanding of our world through geospatial data analysis. With GIS, students and faculty can integrate and evaluate data from many sources to develop new theories and knowledge. This helps prepare students to meet the demands of the twenty-first-century workforce, whether they are involved in science, government, or business. Libraries, museums, schools, and universities are also increasingly using GIS for resource management, facilities management, and advanced research. ( Source: http://www.esri.com/industries/education/index.html )


Now here's comes another question: What do GIS Professionals do?
I've been talking about maps, but GIS career is more than that. GIS professionals visualize, analyze, and model our world to help organizations make informed decisions.
GIS careers typically include responsibilities such as:

So, if you're looking for a job in the future for Computer Science and Geometrical students, GIS might be the job for you. If you need more information, just visit Esri or Esri Malaysia's website.
Until then, keep gaining information! ^_^

Where Have You Been? (Take Five Session) by
27 September 2012|0 talkative person(s)

Assalamualaikum and a very good evening to all. Hi guys! It's been a long time since the last time I update this blog of mine. For that, I'll explain some Q&A for some of your question. It's take five session! This may be a quick question that I grab from somewhere, but thanks for the question!



Q1. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! YOU SAID THAT YOU'LL UPDATE YOUR BLOG NOW AND THEN?!

Well...to answer that question, the answer is simple; I'm freaking busy for this semester, honestly. I mean, I recently active in joining debate club, have to handle a lot of activities regarding KUSIS (Kelab Keusahawanan Siswa) and most importantly, non-stop incoming assignment and test. So yeah, pretty much, everyday was a war for me. I always have a lot of things I want to express in blog, but I didn't have much time like I used to. Like most of the guys said, time to quit playing around. Hahaha!

Q2. So how are you? What happen to you recently?

Well...to be honest, A LOT! Like I told you guys, I have a lot of things I want to share with you guys, but I didn't have the change and time for me to update my blog. But Insya-Allah, whenever I had the time, I'll post it. IF I HAVE THE TIME, THAT IS. I can't promise you, but it will be there, so don't worry. I'll keep you guys posted. :)

Q3. What is your relationship status? According to your Facebook profile, it says "It's complicated". So what does that mean?

First of all, you may or you may not notice, but I actually had a crush on someone. Technically speaking, I'm single, but not available. There's a lot of things going on between me and her, but I'll get to that point one day.

Q4. Since you're not active in blogging, does that mean you're lacking of ideas? You're not frequently online to any Social Network Services (SNS) like you used to?

HELL NO! Well, to be honest, sometimes I didn't have ideas for me to update my blog, but hey! I still have a lot of things to share with you guys, either in my point of view or other points of view. Again, it will be there, Insya-Allah. :)
And no, I'm still active in SNS, but I'm more to Twitter now, since something's wrong with my Facebook JavaScript. But don't worry, I'll keep myself updated to you guys. After all, it;s one of my habits. Oh, in case if you're wondering how to follow me, look at the top right of the screen. Just click cute little Conan icon to like my Facebook page or follow my Twitter account and Formspring. So fell free to ask anything and i might post another Take Five session. :)

Q5. Still stick with anime stuff?

Of course! In fact, I'm downloading the latest anime, Sword Art Online which is it could be the most popular anime in 2012. I'm downloading it every Sunday, since it was release every Saturday. If you're wondering where to download anime, go to Animetake and the latest anime for you will be there. I suggest download them using torrent if you're internet connection is slow, since P2P sharing is much more reliable.


Well, I guess I already take up your 5 minutes. In any case, I'll might update a lot during this weekend since I'm totally free at that time. Until then, let me focus on finishing my task and writing a draft for upcoming entry, keyh? Till then, see you! :D


Happy 21st Birthday Sonic The Hedgehog! by
24 June 2012|0 talkative person(s)

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all~


Ever since I woke up today, I sat in front of my laptop, and all of the sudden, I listen to one of the Sonic The Hedgehog songs. So I was like "Today, I'm going to download a lot of Sonic's soundtrack and listen to it all day long." And I did, till now. But for some reason, I don't know why I did this, so I ignore that feeling.

As usual, I do most of my ordinary life, give some advice to my junior back in Rompin, eat, pray, hang out and stuff. But one thing for certain, I keep my iPhone run Sonic The Hedgehog running. In fact, I just make a new playlist for my iPhone called "Sonic The Hedgehog soundtrack" about 9PM, and still I don't know why I did it.

Then, when I was listen to my crush story and waiting for my friend to come, I came across to Sonic The Hedgehog Facebook page, and it shows that today it was Sonic's 21st birthday. I was like "OMG~! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONIIIC~! NO WONDER I DID ALL THOSE STUFF TODAY~!" And I though I want to scream with all my might. Hahaha~! xD


It all starts when I was a very small boy, about 3 years old. At that time, the first game I ever attach with is this game back in the 90's, Sonic The Hedgehog. I can't remember what console is it, but I think is's for SEGA Genesis.


1991, Sonic was born and makes a hit in the SEGA industry. As I recall, Sonic was intend to be SEGA's mascot, until one of the high staff thinks this mascot could be a hit to that era. And so, Sonic The Hedgehog was release. I played around 1996 or so. Then came Sonic The Hedgehog 2. In this game, Tails were introduce as a new character besides the villain Doctor Robonic (Also known as Doctor Eggman in present day)



A year after, the era of PC is arrive. It's kinda fast, but I think I was about 5 years old. Then Sonic R came for PC. It's pretty a simple game; race till you get first place while collecting rings. Simple and easy, yet it's something for a kid to play. And at that time, I've become attach to Sonic more.


The after that, I played Sonic and Knuckle for PC. Although it was release in 1994, never too late to play, right? In this game, a new character was introduce, Knuckles. At that time, I was 9 years old. The most favorite moment is when I finish the game after the Sky Sanctuary stage. I think I have to fight the final boss, Sonic Metal. After defeating it, the whole island created by Doctor Robonik fall, and I think it's your choice during the game whether you want to remain the island or not. I chose to keep the island on the ground. When the credit rolls, that's when I like the credit songs, when all the stage song were played.


Then when I was 12, PS2 was release. And of course, SEGA will release a game to that platform. The first PS2 game from Sonic Team was Sonic Heroes. This is one of the Sonic games that I didn't finish yet. In this game, I was introduce to a whole lot of new character. And I know that I was missing some Sonic series like Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 where Rose The Hedgehog, Shadow The Hedgehog, Rogue, Cream & Chao, Espio, Mister Big and others were introduce. Oh well, when I get the chance, I'll play it for the PC version. xD


Then, another new game from Sonic Team were release. This time, it's not about Sonic, it's all about Shadow The Hedgehog. In this game, Shadow was seeking out the truth about who really was he. He only have a very minor fragment of memories of a girl, and as he about to think more, an alien come to him, offer him his past in return of the Chaos Emerald.
Shadow The Hedgehog was different from Sonic. Although he's not as fast as Sonic (The most obvious part is Shadow is wearing this high-tech shoes), but with Chaos Emerald, he can unleash 2 types of power, Chaos Control to control time, and Chaos Blast to blast off your enemy that blocks your way wither the area. Shadow was also be able to use various of guns and vehicle, and his attitude were cold. Because of this, most of the fan call him a bad ass.
Oh, forgot to tell, it was also release for PS2.


Then the last title from PS2 that I played was Sonic Riders. I can't really remember it because I only played it for a short brief, but again like Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2, I want to search it and play it till the end. Never the less, instead of using his feet, Sonic surf up the whole city using skateboard and still running.
There's 2 version, and I played "Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity". This was also for PS2. At that time, I was 12 years old.



Then I was 13 years old when PS3 was release. And again, Sonic Team release yet another game for PS3 called Sonic The Hedgehog. Because the title was the same as the 1991 version, most of the fans call it Sonic 06, as it was release in 2006. And again, I didn't have a chance to play this because I didn't own a PS3. I'll look up if there's any PS3 emulator for PC. xD
In this game, you were introduce another new character, Silver The Hedgehog who have the ability to control time. The prove is he himself were came from the future. Another character that was introduce to me was Blaze The Cat, since I didn't play Sonic Rush, which is it was first introduce in that game.


After that, I was sit in the hostel, didn't know what is the development of Sonic Team until I was 18 years old. At that time, there's tons of Sonic games that I didn't played yet. Among it are Sonic Chronicle, Sonic Rush, Sonic Unleash (Xbox and Wii), Sonic Colors (Wii) and a whole lot other titles that I can't remember. Mostly it's for GBA and N-DS.

At the same year, the most shocking year in my entire life, SEGA announce that they have release Sonic Generation. On the spot, I went out and look for Sonic Generation, and brought it, play it, and finish it for 2 days in the row.
Sonic Generation gives a new life to Sonic games. It not just suitable for the new Sonic fans and players, but also the old one. That because you can not only play as Modern Sonic (3D) but also Classic version of Sonic (2D). I tell you, if you're a die hard Sonic fan like me, playing this would brings a lot of memories from your childhood.



Oh, and this game was release during Sonic's 20th birthday! How cool was that?! The most nostalgic moment is during the credit roll of this game. It replays most of the Sonic titles, from Sonic The Hedgehog until Sonic Colors.

Until now, I believe the Sonic Team are keeps developing new game, and i hope they will figure out how to fix the bug because a lot of fans keeps complaining the same thing; bug. But above all, I still like Sonic, and I forever will.
The interesting part of Sonic was the soundtrack. Most of them were EPIC. You should search it in Youtube. The fan made was also not bad, and there's tons of different version. Example, I know that 'His World' from Sonic 06 have 10 different version. And most of them were epic. EPIC I tell you.


Time pass by, and now Sonic is celebrating his 21st birthday. Nevertheless, I'm proudly announce that I am a Sonic The Hedgehog die-hard-fan. Keep on running, blue blur!
AND HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY! :D



P/S: Here's the Sonic Generations credit roll video, and at the end of the credit, let's shout out Happy Birthday Sonic, dear Sonic fans!




Malaysia Taxi: The Truth Why The Rate Is Different by
17 June 2012|0 talkative person(s)

Assalamualaikum and a good day to all of you~! :D


I bet most of the Malaysian @ foreigners who came to Malaysia recognize the picture above. Yes everybody, it's Malaysian's taxi. People will started to recognize it because of it's white-red color on it's body.

You guys must be wondering why I talk about this right? Well, here's some story:

Last Sunday, when I reached Perlis, I got a call from my ex-room mate a.k.a one of my best friend called me and said that he want me to accompany him to KL. I gladly accept without knowing when. When I asked, he say right away, and he even brought me the ticket as well. I was like "WTH?!" -.-

But a friend in need is a friend indeed. So I followed him despite that I have class on the day. Oh well, I forgot to register my course anyway, so I use this advantage to register my course and give some time before my name pop up in the system.

And so, we arrived in KL, get a rest, then during the next day, I had to accompany him to various places to settle his stuff and of course, shopping. So, one day, we decided to go to Low Yatt to do some thumb drive shopping coz I lost my old one, unfortunately. But lucky I manage to buy a new one at the same price as the old one, and it's 16GB. Cool.

So at that time, it's already night, and our tickets to Kangar is around midnight. So we decided to take a cab to Hentian Pudu, which is about 2km distance from Low Yatt. When I try to ask them to sent me there, they keep repeating the same reason:

"Jalan jam lah dik, xlalu situ."

Translation: The road is jammed, we didn't go there bro.

To be honest, jammed at 10-11PM?? RIDICULOUS! The road is totally free, there's no hell way the road is jammed. Even if we did get a cab, they charge about RM15, 3 times a lot then a regular fare (About RM5, coz the road between Pudu and Time Square has been close temporally, so they need to use alternative way). With a hated look at them together with " Go f*** yourself " face to them, I leave. Then another taxi stopped. I already gave up, but my friend said it's the last shot, then we can call the day. Lucky us, the taxi we took is using meter, and like I said, we paid RM5.

I complain to the taxi driver, and he give me some tips when looking for a taxi driver:

" Kalau nak cari teksi, jangan cari yang dah
1) Mati enjin then lepak dalam kereta
2) Lepak kat luar kereta
Sebab kalau adik jumpa orang yang cmtue, diorang tue tunggu nak sapu jew, sebab xramai orang time malam. Orang xder pilihan sangat sebab LRT ngan tren dah xder. "

Translation: If you're looking for a cab, don't look for:
1) The one who switch off their engine then hang around inside the car.
2) Hang out outside the taxi
Because if you find one, they're taking advantage towards others coz there's not a lot of people during this time. They have no options coz the LRT and other transportation has closed its operation.

So, if you're in KL, I advice to remember this very well.

Oh, if you're in the northern area, the fare also high. About 2km they will charge you for RM8. It's expansive right? Not if you're travel with peers. Get another 3 friends and shared you guys money, and one people will only pay RM2.

But if you're a real traveler, I advice to gain more information to access to most of the places with cheapest price of transportation as possible. Because you'll never know, they would take advantage to you, including to girls; raping.

I'm not kidding girls, there's a lot of raping involving taxi driver during 2007 - 2008 if I remember correctly.  In UIAM at Gombak, there's several of cases where the taxi driver installed a chloroform inside their air-conditioner, and when they activate it, the air will fill with chloroform. So I advice to bring someone you really trust @ resist with drugs. Or simply brings a lot of friends. Security first.

I wish the taxi driver would do their job with more honesty and dignity. Because if they don't, one day every customer will turn down taxi as public transportation and go to public bus. To authorities, if you ever read this, I hope that you could take SERIOUS action towards all taxi drivers. Re-enforce the rule, set up a GPS so that the company could track down and duration, and other stuff that you guys could think of. As I said, security first, and I want some honesty in a job. Showing corruption toward youngster how to work? Don't blame us if the future you guys taught us will be much worse than this. Imagine it yourself. It's called karma.

Tech: [Tutorial] How To Create System Restore Point and How To Restore by
01 June 2012|0 talkative person(s)

Assalamualikum and a very good day to all~

Do you ever wonder "What if when I install a software, would my computer crash?" That's where System Restore Point comes in handy. In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to create your very own 'time machine' for your PC and how to use it when you need it.

First of, right-click from your computer and select 'Properties'. Alternatively, you could access it by Control Panel -> System And Security -> System.



After that, click 'System Protection'



It will show something like this. Click 'Create'

Now, it will ask you the name of your System Restore Point. I suggest name it something that you could remember such as:

Now, just create it. It would take a while, but it shouldn't be long.

When it's done, it will show you a message that the system restore point was created successfully.


You now have your own time machine! Now, if you blow your PC up, it's time to go back in time where you didn't blow your PC. To do this, there's a lot of ways. To do this, you can just type 'system restore' in your Start menu search box, and you'll immediately see 'System Restore at the top of the menu.


Alternatively, go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore.
Your choice.

Choose 'Choose a different restore point' to choose your created restore point.



Now, choose whatever you think when is the last time before you blow up your PC. In my case, before I stared using my Black Rock Shooter theme.


You could see if it is you who created a restore point by looking at the Type. It will show 'Manual'.
Now, click Finish, have a cup of tea, and you'll go back in time.


Don't worry about your file. The only changes is the system, not the content of your file. For example, after you created a system restore point, then after a few minutes, you downloaded a song. Then you use System Restore. Don't worry, the file didn't deleted, and it will stay intact exactly where the file is.

That's all for now. Just don't screw your PC too often, ya~? xD

Tech: [Tutorial] Windows 7 Theme (Not Your Ordinary Windows 7 Theme) by
|0 talkative person(s)

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all~

Alright, time to get back from business. Sorry if I didn't update for a very long time. I had some unfinished business to take care of. Plus, some event that I need to attend, so yeah. I'll cover it in my next entry.

But right now, I'm pretty much in the mood of making tutorial right now. That because lately, a lot of people always asked me about computer and stuff, so I decided to make a tutorial.

In this tutorial, I'm going to teach you how to turn your desktop to be something like this:




*click to enlarge*

The first time I use this theme...seriously, I died for a while. I mean, the character is sooo KAWAI!
...ehem, anyway, back to business.

It's working for all Windows 7, but before you would apply this theme, for safety if you screw up for the first time, I want you to create a system restore point. If you didn't know how, click here. This to ensure that if you screw for the first time, you can always go back before you totally screw your PC.

Now, first you'll need a patch called Universal Theme Patch. Download it and patch it to your PC. Make sure to execute the program effectively, right-click on it and select 'Run as administrator'. There's two file inside, one for 32-bit and 64-bit. I think you shouldn't have problem to identify if you're 32-bit or 64-bit. Just select according to your system. But for 64-bit, here's the catch. If you only try to patch 64-bit file, you'll notice that you could only patch 2 files instead of three. (that's what happen to me and the rest of the community. I screw up for the first time, that's why I want you to make a system restore point just in case if you're the same boat as me.) To fix this, patch both 32-bit and 64-bit to your PC. After everything's patch, restart your PC.

Now, for the theme, simply download it from [D]a[H]a[D]a. The owner of the blog have a lot of anime theme for Windows 7, and it's worth to try. It's in Vietnamese, but I think you could make a wild guess on where's the download link. In this case, I downloaded Black Rock Shooter Version 5. Install it. You'll notice that you need a password. The password is DAHADA. Make sure ALL of the letter is Caps Lock.

After installation, just run the theme, and enjoy~!

If you have more than one theme, you can always change it from 'Personalize'. (Right-click from your empty desktop) From there, you can always change which theme you want to use.

Well, that's it for now. If you have other site that provide this kind of theme, let me know. I'll update this entry for everyone to use. Until then, Let's Legendary~! :D

24 April 2012|0 talkative person(s)

Assalamualaikum and good day to Running Man die-hard-fan.




To most of the Running Man fans, I think you all know what is is today. That's right, 11.00PM Malaysia time and 12.00AM Korea time, it's Kim Jong Kook's 'SPARTA!' birthday! To most of the fans, we call it 'KookieDay'. I bet there's a tons of wishes in Twitter later (since I've check my Twitter account, and most of the fans are looking forward to wish and retweet as many wish as they can. Well, we'll see what's going to happen. I just pray that Twitter server wouldn't crash like during the New Year celebration. LOL~

If you're reading this Kim Jong Kook 'Sparta', I wish you a Happy Birthday! May prosperity comes along with you this year. And a little wish of luck for Running Man. Don't get yourself been punish again, alright? xD

Okay, to spice things up, I receive news about Haha's transformation ( a.k.a Jong Kook's dongsaeng ). Looks like he was on diet based on Jong Kook's advice. His transformation was clear when one of the show called Star Life Theater on April 16th. He was appear again in the same show on April 18th.

HaHa recently revealed his personal diet method to the public.

On the April 16th broadcast of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Star Life Theater‘, cameras followed the entertainer around to document his day-to-day activities.

After ending a fully scheduled day, HaHa came home to his apartment, immediately changed into his sportswear, and headed for the stairs. He was beginning his daily exercise of walking up to the 22nd floor from the ground floor of his apartment. The star was mindful of his neighbors as well, not even letting the PD ask questions as he headed quietly to the stairwell.

Once arriving at the top of the apartment, HaHa then took the elevator down to the first floor and repeated the process all over again. The PD remarked, “It takes about four minutes to reach the top,” to which HaHa replied, “The time will gradually increase the more I do it though.”

Despite being exhausted, it didn’t seem as if HaHa was going to conclude his exercise any time soon. He explained, “Kim Jong Kook taught me this exercise. I need to do at least three more hours,” and told the PD to go ahead and leave, proving his dedication to the exercise.

HaHa revealed the secrets to his diet on April 18th’s airing of KBS‘s ‘Star Life Theater‘.

As he jogged on the treadmill, he shared some dieting tips. After revealing that he had lost 13.2 pounds (6 kg) in just three weeks, he added, “I bet a lot of people can relate, but I work out so I can eat.”

HaHa shared, “I can eat until I’m full, but it depends on what the food is. It’s the difference between being full from hamburgers or five-grain rice. I can eat as much meat as I want also. But the difference is whether the meat is fried, lightly cooked, or boiled.”

He added, “Kim Jong Kook hyung knows how much I love to eat so he told me, ‘Eat. Eat until you’re full, but change the food.’”


Well, that's it for today's entry. But before I go, here's some embarrassing moment of Jong Kook 'Sparta' during episode 31. I laugh so loud, especially it mix well with the sound effect.


Sorry for the bad quality though. >.<


'THIS...IS...SPAR..HURK!'

HURK!

It's raining...with ICE! by
23 April 2012|0 talkative person(s)

Assalamualaikum and a very good day~



Hi there bored girls and boys! I bet most of your areas had heavy rain lately, right? I think the only area that dry is around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. Nevertheless, Rompin receive a lot of rain lately. But something weird happen...and it's the second time since last year during June. It's...RAINING ICE!




The first time it occur is during last year, around June. At that time, I already started studying in UiTM Arau, Perlis. I receive a call from my sister, saying that it's raining ice, and it's raining heavily. I was shock at first, didn't believe what my sister told me, but after looked at most of my junior's photo, it was raining ice.

And how fortunate for me, it's occur again yesterday, 22/04/2012. But with excitement, there's tragedy as well. 2 people died and 3 missing at the beach near to my house. Here's my story:

It was Sunday. Me and my best buddy head to the morning market (usual activity every Sunday) and buy some stuff. Since my buddy's parent went to Kuantan and he was left alone, I have to keep him company for a while.
It's 2.00PM, and my friend cook something for himself and for me as well. Before we ate, I look up in the sky, and I thought something was really wrong with the sky, but I can't recall why. After our lunch, we play games, we went to the beach to have some fresh air from the beach. We remember that there's a few fishermen at the sea, and people picnic just at the sea shore. It was calm and peaceful at that time. After a few minutes, my friend sent me home.
After 45 minutes, the rain started. And it's raining heavily. At that time, I was watching Running Man, so I wasn't really concern about what's going on outside. Since there's lightning, I shut down my laptop and lay down at my bed, when suddenly my sister make some loud noise. To my surprise, when I open my door, I saw ice...falling from the sky. I was like:

" . . . .WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!! "

To my excitement, I check out the ice really carefully. I warn to my youngest cousin not to eat the ice, as it may contain harmful chemical inside the ice. During that time, the electricity power went off. We didn't have electricity for 2 hours. During that period, we heard that 2 people died at the beach. The cause of death is the tree fell right into the person who was looking for shelter. I was shock and on edge. I decide to check it out when I have time.
It was 3.00AM, I was watching Running Man, when all the sudden, it's blackout for the whole resident area. I can see the TNB personal try to fix the problem. Although it's temporally solution, I hope they'll repair it as soon as possible to avoid power problems. If we;re having blackout a lot of times, our electronic devices would malfunctioning, and that's not good to most of the people who rely on electronic devices.
I can't sleep during that time, so I decided to check out the area. To my surprise, I discover that only a few trees that receive heavy damage, but not the rest that close to that particular tree. Judging the mark from the tree, I can conclude that it's the lightning that struct the tree was the main cause.
My friend call this morning, and he wants to confirm from me that there's death and missing people at the beach. Then he say from his Facebook:


Yup, the very same beach is our usual spot to hang out.


So that's the story. I'm sorry for the lack of picture, due to the excitement of playing and discover the raining ice for the first time. If it occur again, I'll make sure that I'll capture a lots of picture for it.
Al-Fatihah to the 2 person who just died, and let us pray so that the missing people would be found. Until then, take care and be careful when driving during the heavy rain.
