Holiday finished - 2008 is coming

"Eh... how is ur oliday at there? Mus b syok rite?"
"So, wat is ur result for last sem? Gud o not?"
"CNY want to go wher?"
"......"

The response for the holidays that I get is normally like that. And now, it is time to leave the home sweet home again for another semester in school... Even though that no one likes to leave their home, and also includes me.

As the final paper for the final finished, soon we will thought of the holiday and want to spend the time, but, who knows that the 45 days is just too soon for it to end, and now it is really come to an end, which means no holiday! School semester is coming back!

New year, really will bring out any new hope? I hope so, even though the possibility is not high, though.

Yeah, and hope that my results for the following semester will better than before; since my previous semester I did not show out with a good result, and just hope that I can cover it for save my bad results from the last semester.

Gallery of my mates

Sigh, quite 'disapoint' that a few more days I need to go back to study again, moreover, there are a lot of my time table are crashed for some reasons.

At the time before I leave for holiday, I remembered that I have take some photos with my friend, even I am not so photogenic (don't know) as I always wear extremely casual and quite a mess for that day when my friend asks me to take the photo.


Just bought something from my friend since that they are undergoing the entrepreneur project, I know how hard to make it.

That's it. No commentary on that. Quite relieved that I am having good course mates at there. Meet 'ya again a few days later.

Christmas and New Year

Just as always, the year-end is always a great festive for anyone in the world, especially for those who are celebrating them. Why?

22th Winter Festival for Chinese, also called Dōng Zhì for Chinese.
then,
24th is Christmas Eve, where mostly Western people will eat turkeys and prepare for surprises on the night,
25th is Christmas, surprise and happiness come together.
31th is New Year Eve, we will stay till 12am to do the countdown, wherever we are.
1st of January is another new year with new life, maybe new problems too.

However, happy things will also come for the end, and because that for the next few days, we need to work, or study, need to fall back into the routine of the work and life, how bored...

Will a new year casts a fear, which becomes a factor for you? For me, maybe yes...

My birthday

Is it that I am odd or just the birthday is nothing for me?

I am celebrating my birthday, 19th of December, today, but it seems that this day is just nothing more than other ordinary day though.

Anyway, Thanks a lot for them have congratulate me about that, and hope that the wish that I cast at 12am today will be true someday...

A little thing #1

Went to Kota Kinabalu again with my parents and my relatives, and then we went for shopping, of course...

Druing that time, my family told me that there is having a lucky draw with the recipt of total of RM30 and above (for members), and then my parents asked me to put the recipt in the box for the luck.


When I going to put the receipt to the box, I noticed that there is already have someone's name has been drawn out, so lucky. I found that one of my coursemate have won the consolation prize too. Whew, so lucky...

She have won the prize, and now I am advertising for her, haha...



Congratz. (Wonder that this is really her or not.)

10 banned games - In the world...

I have found this in other websites, so I just want to know the opinion on it, from you.

[URL="http://www.gamesradar.com/gb/ps3/game/news/article.jsp?articleId=20070619165925718061&releaseId=20060314115917309058&sectionId=1006"]http://www.gamesradar.com/gb/ps3/game/news/article.jsp?articleId=20070619165925718061&releaseId=20060314115917309058&sectionId=1006[/URL]

10. 50 Cent: Bulletproof
Banned in: Australia

Why? The Australian censor is notoriously heavy-handed, and ranks as one of the most ban-happy boards in the world. While the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) accepted the foul language, drug use and excessive violence in Fiddy's actually-quite-crap vanity exercise, they were turned off by the slow-motion counter-kills - specifically the ones involving knives and onscreen blood splatter. To be brutally honest, it was no great loss...

9. Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
Banned in: Germany

Why? Germany enforces extremely strict censorship on videogames, and as such game publishers will often do a special Teutonic version to pacify the examiners. An oft-quoted example is the use of green blood, which marks the character being killed as an "alien," thus making it more acceptable. Commandos was banned on a more obvious technicality: an issue with missions that involve allied soldiers going on missions to kill Nazis, and use of the swastika.

8. Pokémon
Banned in: Saudi Arabia

Why? One of the more bizarre bannings has religious foundations - in 2001 Pokémon and all its associated spin-off games were the subject of a fatwa in Saudi Arabia, which said the games featured the Star of David, which Saudis associate with Israel and international Zionism. It was suggested the games had "possessed the minds" of Saudi children. The edict was expected to be followed rather strictly, as punishments would likely include lashings and deportation.

My Opinion
Pokemon is known as a RPG game for either kids or adults in brain teasing and just for fun, as you can see a lot of virtual creatures and some time you might want to hope that certain world exist, even the Mysterious Dungeon (which the main character, as a Pokemon and live at the world) is never mentioned about something like Zionism but puzzle solving skills and perhaps friendship values, but I heard that most of the countries in Africa and Mid Asia banned this game.

7. The Guy Game
Banned in: United States

Why? A morally reprehensible game in theory and in practice (IGN gave it 7.7), The Guy Game was a frat boy's dream that focused mostly on tits and beer with some trivia thrown in. What its makers failed to realize was that one of the cheerleaders who flashed her parts on camera during the course of the game was only 17, and thus underage. She complained and the game became illegal.

My Opinion
This game is just alike to PlayBoy and the Sims 2, just this is a bit more... violent if compared to the other games, if a open minded country like USA have banned the game, then how you think that the maturity level of this game will be, eh?

6. Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
Banned in: South Korea

Why? Not surprisingly South Korea don't take too lightly to games that involve fictional representations of wars between themselves and their slightly mental Northern cousins. To be honest, we'd probably be the same if old Kim Jong II was breathing down our necks.

My Opinion
Never played the game, but it seems that if anything that reflects about the past history, most of the countries which have involved in it will ban it. I guess so.

5. Command and Conquer: Generals
Banned in: China

Why? This strategy game got the backs of the Chinese government up, with the Ministry Of Culture proclaiming it "smeared the image of China and the Chinese army." It also took offense that the game required players to destroy various national monuments like the Three Gorges dam.

My Opinion
As for Generals, It said that have revealed the secret of Chinese military, but in the game, China has the strongest tank (Overlord) and aircraft (Helix), with superweapon - Nuclear Strike. How it reveals the secret of Chinese military...? Just a game, how it will reveal the secret of China's military? Then... they should also ban this game - Age of Empires 3 - The Asian Dynasties.

4. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
Banned in: Mexico

Why? Seriously pissed off one Chihuahua Governor Jose Reyes Baeza Terraces, who discovered that Ubisoft's game featured a fictional storyline in which citizens of Chihuahua fled their town and were replaced by armed insurgents. Unfortunately, Terraces exposed his painful lack of video game knowledge when he was quoted as saying, "Violent video games ... attempt to divide the good will of the residents of American and Mexican cities."

3. Reservoir Dogs
Banned in: New Zealand

Why? No great surprises here, as anything associated with Quentin Tarantino seems to attract a fair degree of controversy - not that he had anything to do with this woeful adaptation of his 1992 film debut. Amazingly, given the film's cult classic status today, the BBFC (which is responsible for the banning of Manhunt 2) initially refused to give it a video classification, and it wasn't until 1995 that UK film fans could see it outside of a movie theater. The New Zealand Office of Film and Literature Classification banned it on much the same grounds as the BBFC did, saying "the film tends to promote and support the infliction of extreme violence and extreme cruelty… for the purpose of entertainment."

2. Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure
Banned in: Australia

Why? Although style guru Marc Ecko's graffiti game was initially granted a 15 rating by the Australian OFLC, it was later banned after an appeal ruled that the game promoted an illegal act (graffiti), gave hints and tips on how to do it and rewarded the player for scribbling "I love Tracey" on public buildings and infrastructure. Clearly the Aussies don't do hip-hop.

1. Postal
Banned in: 13 countries

Why? The fact it's advertised as banned in 13 countries works in the same way that Ruggero Deodato's exploitation-film classic Cannibal Holocaust was supposedly banned in 50 countries - it's a great selling point. Unsurprisingly, it's not available in Germany and Australia, and someone tried to get it banned in the US. It's got a lot to do with the fact the minimal plot involves the lead character going on a killing spree, shooting people, innocent or not, simply because he's angry about being evicted from his house.

My Opinion
Heard that this is a really violent game among the games, and more violent if compared to Counter Strike and GTA.. even The Bully, this is what my friend told me about that and they not recommend me to try the game. Guess that is the reason.

Other banned games:
GTA San Andreas

Why? The game is known as a violent game and always come up with dirty words as you go through the gameplay. It has been said that the game is also mentioned about racial discrimination. Even so, the kids who play the game also learned to do the real trick just like the character in GTA did, Vice City is also the game, as for GTA 3, it is crazy (when you have any explosives, try to throw it to the citizen and you will know why).




.............

I wonder how they think when they have heard about these- the 10 banned games, is they really should be banned, or there is still another games that supposed to be banned?

I don't know. Quite a surprise, big surprise for me when I know that the 2 of my favorite game is considered the banned game.

Is there any of your favorite game in your list?

The Final Test of the course of mine

After a long inactive time of mine due to buzy works and some sort of... lazy, but since I have promised someone, so I will continue to do this and try my best to update it as often as I can.

This is the pictures of the 'realm' of my final test.


Yes, these two buds' are my course mates, Fiona and Lawson, and a Mr. XXXX wandering at the stairs nearby. What are they doing... perhaps are taking self portrait.

Maybe it is fun, since I admit that I rarely take photos of myself, even self portrait.



Next... The exam arena. This is the exam arena for my last 'nuts' paper, whoa, a lot people... nope, this is another course's final test, it seems that it is quite full, and even the stage, is also the course as well. My course... is at the opposite side.





Sigh, kind of humiliating. After an hour, almost of the students, include me has left the arena. With a total number of around 400 students in beginning, but 100 of them probably resigned because of the midterm or they failed the midterm that drops their morale to continue the course, and only around 250 students arrive for this final exam of this 'nuts' course...

100 Objective questions. Really nut, eh.

I hate philosophy.

Holiday of the school

It seems that holiday is not as enjoyable as I wanted to, perhaps for me. My house's PC breakdown (one of my hard disk is totaled, wonder what happened on it), and then my parents asked me to Brunei for work. How pity as it.

At next month, I will be going to have another part time job again in my hometown, as a waiter or something (I working at restaurant), will trying to use my new phone and get some pictures since I am good at snapping photos which they don't know that I am taking the photos on them, mind to tell you, I have a natural ability that called some sort of invisibility, not real invisibility, but I can sneak into someone's nearby without they notice on me. Same as my fav Pokémon's personality, passive and sneaky, eh.

Gotta update this again with some more things to posted soon with my laptop, after I have some ideas. Buddies, remember to keep in contact, and even it is holiday, eh?

Last Day for my Final

Hurray, and now I just left the only last crazy paper! I and my friends will going to celebrate it tonight. That time we will be going to take some photos, and I will try to post it here if there is any of them are good.

Wish me luck for this paper - 100 objective, with 14 lecture need to study, which divided into a, a1, b, c, or something... total with around 65 presentations, average 20 slides per page, nuts and crazy lecturer we have, eh?

Freaky pissed off day


Today.. will the day that I am really pissed of. Maybe because of my final paper foe the exam, and perhaps the stupid rules in the library, school, hostel, and robotic people, which is annoying? For the one who is affected, I am sorry, but you two are... really annoying. You make me totally... TOTALLY PISSED OFF AND JUST FOR THE NECKLACE FOR ME TO HANGING THE STUDENT CARD, WASTING MY TIME ABOUT 2 HOURS, and MY ENERGY AND MONEY, YET I GOT NOTHING USEFUL AT THERE!

I just cover off the faces to avoid that I am insulting, so I will not going to say where I have faced this freaky condition (But it is easy to guess since it is in the school area). They are a real nasty people that loves to insulting people (try to imagine even just asking for information, and his reply is: Put on your student card. You ask another thing, their reply will remain the same... Really annoying hooligans). Poor service... Even photo state also need two days and costly...

Library new extension

Recently there are several new stalls (foods and grocer) are opened in the library site. I just finish my Spanish exam and with a lot of ruins, I pass-by the library, and decided to went in since I need to find some past year model questions for my final course, which is really nuts.

This is the spot for me to go to eat by today - since I have tried the rest of the stalls.


The chefs of the stall, maybe?

I asked the chef what is special about the stall's food, and he told me that their style is more to Chinese Food (makanan ala Cina) by Malays. Sounds interesting, since they also have the 'kolok-mee' (A special Chinese food).


Look at the price list. I guess it still considered acceptable though.

Yeah. I ordered it, the 'fried chicken noodle'.

This is it, the fried chicken noodle - with soup.

The dish is good for me, except for the noodle, it seems that the taste or something in the noodle is too heavy for me about it.

My fellow UMS friends, perhaps you can hop on to the library and check what's new at there. Comment it after you have eat the dish.

Final Test for my unfortunate day

I have taken my retake exam for my Gender - I missed the final at a few days ago. It seems that I am fortunate that I am able to take the exam, just another unfortunate thing - My final exam is all in essay mode, if compared to my friends' information that their final are all in objective mode.

What I can say... I might be considered lucky since the lecturer of this course is really kind and allow me to retake the final exam, since normally for some lecturers, they will just directly ignore your reasons and then will give your marks for the exam is 0. Even though it is in essay, I might be considered lucky that I have studied it so I managed to answer the questions.

No regrets, I need to focus on the exam by tomorrow. Hope that I am in the luck again.

A little funny thing

Today, my retake test was cancelled because my lecturer got something to do. Therefore I will need to busy for a day again for the test. It is fine - as long as I am able to take the test.

Forget about today, I will talk about yesterday. My sister have her new part time job in the hostel. It is quite funny that she will work at the stalls that selling 'kuih' (pastries) for the few days, even though the time of her work is free.



The way she packing things...




The way she do her job with her partner...


Her emotion (surprised and drives nuts) when she knows that I am taking the picture on her, blast.

It is first time that I see she working since she told me that she is lazy... Funny. Don't bomb me eh, sis?

Spanish Class

In local university, you will need to take a foreign language or English, so for me, since I am teaching English as secondary language (TESL), I am taking a foreign language. Even though I hope that I can take English (I admit my English is not so good).

I am taking Spanish Class at my school, which is under the lecturer, called Professor Consuelo Cardenas (Profesora Consuelo). She is a Columbian. Nothing to surprise of since this is foreign language.



My lecturer is in the middle of the photo, which her shirt is in green, and then the one who is standing besides her, with spectacles, and also wearing white tee, is me. (I always go there casually)

Yeah, for those who are in the class, you can download the photo from here. If not, just SMS me to get it.

My unfortunate day

If you going to ask me about that - unfortunate day, then it will be today.

I have set my phone alarm to 7am, yet I still arrive late to my exam arena at today. Today is supposed to be have a final exam for me at 9am, but I arrived at the arena at half past 9. Well... if according to the rules, I will have a 50/50 chance to take the test, or retake the test.

By the moment I went in, the lecturer says that it might be not possible for me to take it since there are already have some students have went out; I think I should considered myself lucky, since the lecturer says that I will need to take the exam again at next Tuesday. It means I missed my test, and I need to retake it at the time.

I will have double papers at that day, but what I can say? Because of my silliness on sleeping late and wake up late? Poor excuse, I know that.

If you asks me what I fear, perhaps I will say about the time of between 7 to 10am. If that moment I have class or exam, there are possibility that I will miss it - even though I don't know why.

What an unfortunate day for me...

The final exam in school

Yeah. Now, all of the students in university will need to prepare for their final exam, which takes around a month for the final exam. Most of the students ended their test around two to three weeks. However, there is some exception sometimes.

Yeah. Why I say so? Justification for this - I am also one of the 'exception' which I need to ended up at here for around a month, if compared with most of my friends that will only stay here for a week or two, then fly back to their hometown.

For here, the final test month gives two meaning, which for the first, strive for the exam and hoped for a result, and the second, strive for the exam and hoped the test ended soon so they can go back to their hometown.

Good luck for whomever is taking the final exam for the moment, or STPM - you will need it.

Pokemon X - 10 years of Pokemon Soundtrack Collection

This is the torrent which is uploaded by me, it is the soundtrack from the 10 years of Pokemon (Which I knew it when I go to the official Pokemon website). It might seems old if judge from the time, since the thing is produced in Year 2006. But it takes a lot of time for me to find it, neither in P2P mode, or in downloading mode (I think Megaupload or Rapidshare have it, but I don't remember the site).

Sorry - there is no the song of Pokemon - You, me and Pokemon. But let me know if you want it.

Yes, I am also finding for the ending of Pokemon Heroes (In Japanese). Please let me know if you have it, so I can put the link at here too.

This will be the link for you to download the torrent.

I think that I will no need to teach that which software you need to run in order to download the file.

Please seed for a moment, if you have finished downloading. I will try to seed it as much as I can, since I am using laptop (the laptop needs to rest somehow), my online time is normally at night and I will seed it through the night till morning, unless I have connection problem.

Enjoy the torrent... and the music.

PAP 2008 - The hell for me at the first time

Recently, my school is organizing an event which is for the Chinese New Year 2008, which is called the PAP event, or in the full term - Pesta Angpou 2008.

In that time, I am a AJK or called as a member in the unit. By then, I don't know the reason, but everytime when there is a meeting, I failed to attend (they opened a meeting during I am having my class, or at the time we are going to enjoy our time, which is in Sunday).

By then, when I attended the meeting, my leader which is supposed to be arrived is not arriving. At the end I am the one being blamed by the leader just because that she is not atteneded. Hey, is that my work for that to ask she to arrive? If so, then why don't the leader of my gorup tells me that they have a meeting at that time?!

And then during the Star Search, which is the event they are going to find members, they set the location in a place that students hard to go, since I am hurrying for my assignment and also I have class at the later time, so I failed to go there since it takes a lot of time walking there, and even though there is no any information that they are helding the event as well as the location, even my schedule! When the time I am at other place, then the phone suddenly ringing and one of them tell me that I am on duty #$#$%%$^!#@...

Okay, forget at it, and then during the study week, most of us are going home since that Sabahans and Sarawakians live near to the location. By then after I am at my home for around 5 days, then suddenly, two messages appeared and with the first is the second gathering (I don't know when is the first one), and then is a meeting (again). I gives my justification on that I cannot go, and then just by a few days ago, they called me and told me that the leader have made a decision to expel me out, by giving a lot of chicken excuses.

They saying that my attendance are poor or something, the gathering I did not go (I don't even know that there is the first gathering) for both gatherings, meeting I got no rights to speak since they expect that they are all-mighty, and now they asked me to choose to stay or change. My reply: "Is there any more way for me to choose? It seems that all of these have been set and then just waiting for the time. Then now I am in the performers posistion...

Just like most of my friends say, the event is just making a shame for it, and for me, saying that I am being used by them for it, in the beginning on it I believe that I will try to do but I can't since there are tons of assignment I need to do, and I need to set my priority for my assignment. When I am now free and going to do it, then they are saying this to me. I felt that I am just a stupid person since my friends are right - they loves to misjudge someone just by the appearance, without knowing in the real reason.

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think that the leaders on that are right. They should know why - I am not going to explain it, but I will surely that I will not helping on the unit further more for the event. I am totally dissapointed on them. Who is worse in their personality, they should know it though. I am not going to say or comment on them.

Darn it, the unit, my leader.

Study week, any sense?

I have stayed in University Malaysia Sabah for a few months, it seems that the life in university is far more different than what I have expected, but there are still some are the same thing as well.

Just at two weeks ago, around 10th of October, the school (get used to it, since I am more familiar to the word 'school' if compared to 'university') has commenced to have a 3 week's study week, which is until 26th of October (In fact it is just only 16 days), for us to prepare on our final exam.

At the same time, Hari Raya and Deepavali is just at the few days later, if I am right, 12th of October. It is normal that the Malays and Indians were going back to his/her hometown (kampong) to celebrate this festive season, but if they are going back, (same for Chinese), will they study?

The study week is just making for a relaxation since almost all of us are going back to our hometown, except for them who are coming abroad, especially Peninsula's student, since the air ticket are quite exorbitant for them to go home just for these 16 days.

After all, even though we are having our finals at 28th of October, but it takes around a month to deal with all of the final exams, why can't they just commence the exams to be set in the same time in most places, while we need to waste our time at our hostel, and just for study, in fact for myself, I can say that even though there is a gap before the next test, especially a week or somehow, I still will not study since for my personality, I am quite passive and I don't want to be forced to study since I will also forget it at the very last moment.

There are some will reject on my opinion that the final test commence at the same time during the festive season, or just after a few days at the festive season, so that we can handle all of our test before November and we can already enjoy our life at our hometown for the rest of the days till the next semester.

For me, it is quite wonderful to deal with the test earlier in order to enjoy life, so... how about you?

Wangan Mignight Maximum Tune 3, updated record on 26-9-07

I found that I am the one who is easily addicted to the racing game even it has costs me a lot in there. I have cleared the class A stage just by winning the races without any problem. This might be considered lucky for me as also the first time I spent so much in the arcade center.


Even though that the center is not a healthy place as mentioned by society, but sometimes it is good for you just to release your tension too. Of course, I am not asking you to go there everyday, once a week shall be fine for it, aye?


Game, is a thing that you use to enjoy and release your stress, it is fun sometimes. But never too addict on it, at least I consider myself that I am not so addict, since there are more people that are addicted than me, if compared on the mileage, mine is not even 200km, but there are someone that is more than 9000km.
Try to play games, then you will understand. this is a good game, but might require some skills and also of course, money.

My group work, US7222, Entrepreneurship

I have do the group work for one of my course, by then I am having an unfortunate and a terrible ending which is caused by the group and also from the chancellery building.

I have some photos of the event and I will show some of them to let you see on the event which is on my school.

We are the first year student who takes the course yet we are not getting full support from the university, and we are being sued from them that we are doing something without permission in fact that we just do for the work for around 3 to 7 days. From there it can also totally show that the poor management we can find in the university.

The second day of my event, the people from chancellery building came and make a freakily havoc and caused a lot students that are selling that time having a really big dissatisfied atmosphere. As mentioned. We are not able to get full support yet we need to do a lot of things that slows down the process of us.

While on the third day, I am the one who need to be the peace maker, even though I don’t know what have happened in my group, because there is fighting between the group members and they are affecting me that makes me don’t know what I can do about it.

This had gives me a very good lesson and it had gives the second semester student for the first year a negative expectations on it. Sometimes, you will need to use your money to exchange with the marks because if you are not doing so, you will absolutely just failing yourself because you are not willing to sacrifice something.

At these, they are also not considerate able or rational because all of them who had do something on the work thinks that they are all mighty and it is a hard work for them already, and our works is not so hard at all. They need to be fair at anything and no complaints since all of us in university are all same level – all of the courses and lectures are same important. But it will be not avoidable if sometimes you need to go to the lecture a bit late. You will surely fail if you cannot meet on the criteria on considerate or rational.

Survival guide in university

I have studied in here for a few months, and least knows some of the guides in the university. There is some tips or tricks for us in order to survive in this university (Dang it, please don’t really use it, that is my opinion after all).

Below are the ways for me to survive (but not to get an A in the test, I hope there is one for me) in here, I guess so, not really, though.


  1. Always be kind to others. Not matter that person is good or not, kindness worth more valuable than criticism. And not possible that you will want to have an enemy that will face with you for a few months or even years don’t it?
  2. Beware on talking something towards that you are not really known on, especially to a person that you have just met or something. This is because that you will never know that person is as good as you or not. Always know that. In university, a lot of people are commonly bad guys that will have a fake good personality. You will feeling that he is good in the first impression, but not always, as always mentioned in merchandising, it is always too good to be true. Rarely in an occasion that they will speak honest or well to you.
  3. You have to throw your pride sometimes. Pride is what, you might ask? Hmm… if it is said in simple words, then it shall be called ego. You will need to throw your pride or ego to achieve something, sometimes. But not meant that it is asking you to do a bad thing, eh.
  4. Always take your aim at assignment. There is the best part you can have your best shot for you to get. And try to be picky if the condition really needs to do so. It Is not possible that you will just directly miss your important marks at there whilst it is the easiest to score, doesn’t it?
  5. Most of us are considered as passive people that will not join activities in the university. This can be said that the huge load of works or they are not necessary to do so. Even though there is a lot of words in their advertisement that they said ‘compulsory’ but it is not really important to follow it because that is a trickery from university to force us.
  6. Aware yourself when you are doing a group work, especially with the massive amount. Don’t expect the work that will have word ‘equal’ or the ‘team work’ a lot since it is hard for them to get a good co-operation as they thinks that they are expecting them to be the rider only to get the marks but without doing anything. It will be better if you are able to find someone you know very well to do it.

There are still some ways to do and don’ts in university. Just as the key, try to do what you think you should and try to avoid some is don’t based on your common sense there.

Comments on the course- UT9142 (Rangkaian Internet/ Internet and Netorking) in UMS

There is a course that I am taking currently on this semester, which is the assignemt of making this blog (frankly, if I am not taking the course, for sure I will not make a blog since I rarely got time to manage on it though.

This is a minor course for the university, which is from the course code UT series (most of UT series’ course are all about science and technology), and my course is UT 9142, which are called Internet and Networking, under the lecturer in the School of Engineering and Information Technology (SKTM- Sekolah Kejuruteraan dan Teknologi Maklumat), Madam Siti Hasdiah.

From my experience in the class, she is a really kind lecturer the hat will always give us extra effort to do her assignments and also will have gives us the knowledge on the internet (even though I hate to memorize the phrases, hopefully at the final she will not making the questions on that, but more on general knowledge or common sense is better). She gives us a chance to let us know more on internet by making the first assignment that do a research on the information technology, which can be included something just like e-commerce, security and privacy issues, P2P services and so on…

While for the second work, she gives us to make a blog, as I mentioned in the first, even though most of us don’t know or don’t want to do it, but for me, assignment is most important as it is the best way for you to score an A in your course. For me, the reason I don’t like blogging is because I don’t know what I am supposed to write. Of course, no one will expect to have more assignments as there is a burden for us due to the time limit and resources of us are limited, unless there is no final – I mean, use one of the assignments to become the final exam (If this happens, in no doubt most of us will overjoyed).

For the lecture, I found that is the good method for us to enjoying and know more on internet and networking. We knows internet and we knows networking too (for most of the boys or game maniacs, for sure they know what is LAN, since LAN is a part from networking).

Honestly, I am quite enjoyed to take the course and of course, I also got something that I dislike about it. As I taking this course: the reasons are I love internet and networking and wanted to get more knowledge on it, and also this is one of my strengths, so I can make a great advantage on this, even though the course credit hours is 2.

While the thing that I don’t like is the class time: because if the class is on the day before Friday, then I can go home after my lecture at 8-9 am, since my bus going to my home is at afternoon 1pm, and Friday is always the day that hard to get a bus to go back to hostel, since I need to make things up and then take the bus again to the city. This will take a lot of time, and for sure, an hour is not enough.

Anyway, this course – UT9142, Internet and Networking (Rangkaian Internet) in UMS is a great course for us. I will recommend this to my friend as the lecture is easy, assignments can make you to have a great ease on the internet services (except for the poor quality in the wireless internet in the school, especially at my hostel, poor service yet the fee is exorbitant…)

Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 (Comment)

Today, I went off to Center Point (A city mall in Kota Kinabalu), as usual, I go into the arcade center. I changed some of the tokens and then wandering inside. At there, I have found a new arcade racing game (I think it might be old for certain countries), Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3. I know the game and I have the save data of the previous one, but I have lost the card somewhere, so it take my interest and I have make the card for the save data. It costs me RM 5 for the card, and the game is RM2 for a match, either you win or lost. Except that, you also got the option to tune your car either to grip mode or into the other: drift mode.

In grip mode, your car will become more stable but slower. Meanwhile in drift mode, your car will have a better performance, then your cornering will become quite bad.

This game is somehow interesting because that it is a street racing game, just like Initial D. Whom played Initial D must love to the game. If say that Initial D is a mountain 1 on 1 street racing game, then Wangan Midnight is a version of 1 on 1 highway racing game (a lot of cars will pass by, you need to perform a near miss to avoid clash on traffic), with the final boss who is called Akio Ashkura, the driver of the Devil Z (If I am right it might be the older version of 2000GT or Fairlady Z).

I have some pictures below, of the save data of mine recently, I think there will be a lot of types on the save cards in other placees. I have used around RM 20 to play on the data, quite expensive for me though. Don’t think me wrong; I always come here, but does not mean that I am not studying at university, eh.

Another year, another convenction

Today is the day that the conevenction of UMS (the stuents of UMS graduate for their last year and ended their degree or master life in here though) finished. It is some sort of wierd that when we see around the graduates wearing the 'square hat' or somehow, taking photoes for memories (if I am right), and also receive flowers, the school also know to make a great opportunity that to make a various stall which called the Tamu Gadang Event (I have involved myself into it).


The thing that, I don't have the photoes, so I am not able to describe the information for more advanced or what for that.


It seems that the university life ended just with a simple conevnction day for the students after they have spent around 3 to 5 years at here. It is hard to imagine that what will happen to me after 4 years later (my course take around 4 years to complete).


The problem is: will I able to complete my studies? It seems that the university life is not ideal just as what I expected before.

Kemerdekaan Malaysia / Malaysia's National Day is Tommorow.


Tommorow will be the most glorious day for us Malaysians, as it has been celebrated only once in a year. Most of the Malaysian citizens must be going to have a visit in the staduim if they are live in urbans, especially to the Bukit Jalil Stadium if they lives in Kuala Lumpur.

Yes, the day for tommorow, 31th of August: THE NATIONAL DAY of MALAYSIA!

We have been proud as Malaysians since the liberation of Malaya since 1957 from Tunku Abdul Rahman. He is also called as the Father of Malaysia since we get independent by the aid of him, and of course, there are a lot of them except Tunku Abdul Rahman. By saying the word three times in the time of 1957, at 12am sharp, the words :"Merdeka!" has become the liberation and the most historious day for Malaysian because we have freed from the colonialism of British at that time.

Have a brief on that, we have been conquered by British for a copule of years, which is almost 180 years, which are included the 3 and the 8 months of Japanese conqueror. In before, we did also being conquered by Dutch and also Portugese since the fall of Malacca Empire (Empayar Melaka) at the year 1511.

As the conjuction of 50th millenium of the independence day, I am totally sure that today will cause a great response from all of us. What we can say at here, is: "Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka! We are proud that be a Malaysian!"

Even though we have some bad past, but always the National Day will gives a extreme meaning for us for the moment. And we should hold down if we have any grudge against another. This is the proud for us to be a Malaysian, really.

P/S: I am quite happy also, since at least I have a free day to do my last minute assignment that I need to pass up by next Tuesday, hell yeah.

A New, brief introduction of mine

Hello there.

Thanks a lot for visiting my first blog. Even though I am quite of lazy on writing articles or blogging, but since this is the assignment that I have been tasked from my lecturer (I have a web blog before in MSN Spaces), so anyway, I will try to do my best on producing the blog and shows you the life of me in the university. Since it is the first one, then I will going to have a brief introcution about myself.

As you can see here, my display name is Latios, and that is called as-is. My name is Latios, while my real name is Dixon. That is my abbreviation for calling as Latios Dixon. I am borned in year 1988, but my IC is listed for 1987 due to some error and they don't want to change it back, and that is the second as-is... Well, whatever. It does not matter quite a lot.

I am currently age 19 and 8 months, which my birthday is 19th of December 1988. With the zodiac of dragon, it shows that I am also in high intrest of dragons. At the moment, I am currently studying in university. I will make a brief information at my current status in university now.

I will undergo to the course for four years. But I am worry that I am not able to finish the course, and will get a 'good-bye' that makes me unable to continue my further studies or any reason that makes me fail my degree. Anyway, I will try my best to strive and also survive for the years.

Hmm, talk about hobbies, I am intrested on playing games, collecting items that I like (currently my collection is the Pokémon collection, which most of them are Latios and his little sister, Latias figure. I also collected quite a number of dragon toys. Of course, I love to sleep too. Sometimes I will spend my time on hearing on musics as well.

Anyway, I am quite open minded, as well as love to have friends. if you think that I am good enough in your criteria as your new friend, feel free to message me or somewhere else.

Hmm... I am not quite good at blogging, so please bear with me, eh? Maybe you can teach me how to blog or somewhat else.

Guess that is it for my brief introduction. 'Encantada' (Nice to meet you).



P/S: Almost forgot about the information need to be cleared. Or the cursed school academic will find me since I caused quite a havoc there.
