Audio System Fixed (Almost)

Well after 12:45pm class one of my buddy told me to go to the Toasthouse area in Senadin to get my audio system fixed at the car accessory shop there. So I did and was told they send cars with audio problem to a different shop near the Petronas Senadin not far away, so I drove there. The closest thing I can find was a motorcycle shop with some Chinese and local dudes chilling waiting for customer. This ain't right yo. So I just fueled my Getz up -RM50 and headed to the original planned destination: e-Mart.
Pandas!

So this is how the internal compartment looks like

Putting it all back together

A few bumpy roads later I arrived at the shop, and the tauke was very free to help fix my system up. Since I got an appointment with my Head of Department at 2pm, I just told him to get the stuck CD out and fix the player up. Took a good 19 minutes of operation, and I didn't know there were so many part of the Hyundai I can pull off with bare hands. After the fixing -RM20 I headed back to campus and told him I'll come back to fix my pecah-ed speaker at the rear left door. Cost unknown. Now I can listen to more Trance Hava Nagila and Andrea Bocelli. Thanks e-Mart Car Audio & Accessories dude.

15Malaysia - Potong Saga

Introducing the first vid of 15Malaysia.com. Starring Namewee as well as a few other Malaysians. Go watch how a Chinese got misguided about the procedures to open a Islamic Banking account.


This is the Happiest Day of My Life :D

Phuck. She Buy. Land Chow. Poor Came Mac. Sand Lee Cool. Can't Ni Nay.

Not cool mates. Today I burnt another album, played it in my car's Pioneer player, then when I wanted to eject it out it got stuck. So here comes going to Super Save part, buying RM0.99 small mata screwdrivers, going back home an trying to fix it.

Like tikus membaiki labu, the last screw fell into the gap of the player's slot and then gone. Now the the pirated CD is still stuck in there, the player cannot be put back onto the slot hence I can't listen shit for the rest of the day.

Haihz, now its time to head to e-Mart to ask for help after class tomorrow. At the moment I'm on a rampage so please stay at least 15 yards away. I should cool down after the whole thing is fixed. Mwyuarghyarghhhnyyardddd!!!!!! DX

Mideast Crisis 1.9

This is what's been keeping me off from blogging for a while
I skipped some K4L updates because after studies I tend to spend the remaining time playing Mideast Crisis 1.9. Yes, the new version caught me by surprise and gave me a new reason to reinstall my Generals Zero Hour. This new version of the total conversion of the Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour continues the tradition of pitting Syria and Israel in a bloody conflict in the heart of the Holy Land. Credits to the Isotx team and especially Bhones for updating the mod.

See official trailer:


Despite only having 2 factions, MeC offers a unique gameplay for each faction. As the Syrians, you'll be utilizing a steamroll, outnumbering or turtling tactics with Russian weaponry e.g. T-72 tanks, MG-21 and Mi-24 Hinds. While playing the Israeli Defense Force, you'll be playing more on mobility, ballistics and high-tech weaponry e.g. Merkava tanks, F16 jets and even the SR-71 (ftw).

Mi-24 in action

And just like the original Zero Hour, you can choose what subfaction to play e.g. China's Tank General, USA Airforce General or GLA's Toxin General. However for MeC, it is played differently. Instead of choosing the subfaction before the game starts, you get to choose it in game. Below are the available subfactions you can choose from:

Syria:
Iranian Reinforcements
Request for assistance from the Republic of Iran and gain access to MiG-29, F-14 fighters and FROG-7.


Republican Guard
Bring in the 10,000 man bodyguard of the Syrian Army along with the BMP-3, Ka-50 Hokum, and the of course the Republican guards.



Hez
bollah Component
Summon the infamous extreme paramilitary organization to supply you with suicide terrorists and inspiring Hezbollah leaders.



Israel:
Armored Corps
Supplies you with advance upgrades for your standard Magach 7D tanks as well as bringing in the deadly Merkava main battle tanks.


Airforce General
Request for access to the fearsome F-15 and the Apache Longbow attack helicopter.


Sayeret Forces
Brings in the IDF's reconnaissance unit the Sayerets including standard Sayerets with Uzi, snipers and anti-tank infantry.


MeC 1.9 is strongly recommended if you're into Middle Eastern politics and modern warfare. The intense proximity battles will keep you clicking here and there as you watch another Black Hawk full of injured soldiers is downed or how another columns of Merkavas rolling down the streets to your last defensive position around Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem. Fight the last fight.


Requires Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour patched to version 1.04.

H1N1 Check Up at Curtin

If you are bored or waiting for the next class, why not drop by the Health Center and get a free H1N1 check up?

I was greeted by signs around campus telling staffs and students to proceed to LT foyer to have a quick check up. Since the first H1N1 death in Miri a few days ago, this is a very smart move. Well the venue changed to the newly converted VAD room aka Health Center aka ex-Resource Center 1 (I think it's ex-RC1) since the health officer needed to get away from the heat and haze. So after my last class of the day, I recruited a few homeboys to tag along with me.

Excuse the "just got out of non-stop 8am-12pm class sessions" face. I got shotgun was the first to be tested with the price checker looking thermometer. However it could be a brainwashing device though... hmmm... mine was 37.6°C
KY was next to be brainwashed checked for his body temperature. He was safe, 37.1°C
Last was Asfanz, and he was obviously brainwashed by the machine from the looks of it. A 36.1°C. Wow didn't know I will be the hottest.
And once you're officially safe they put these puny green stickers on your left shoulders to mark you as "safe". I wonder what sticker will those who are "unsafe" get.
Even our favorite President is not spared from the H1N1 check up, and he passed.

The Mist 2: Hazy Senadin

It feels like the movie the Mist, except this is a hot choking haze with monsters of the other world lurking in it.

The haze in Senadin is not getting any better I can tell you that. But it's only at its worst in the morning around 7 to 8am. It's only Week 2 and sadly more and more of my group members and other students are falling ill. Drink more water, minimize breathing outdoor if possible and for phuck's sake don't join the open-burning frenzy. Stop complaining about how Indonesians are at fault (WTF?) when the bush fires are only a few meters away along the campus and e-Mart areas (you think this is Konfrontasi '65?). Call the Bomba, pour some water on the fire or piss on it if you have to instead of blabbering negative comments.

Project EAR - Marabahaya

I was introduced to this song only lately. And I was awesomed by it. Could sure be used as the intro theme song for the next Gundam series. It's basically a collaboration between ASEAN bands and vocalists for the Project East Asian Revolution (EAR). ASEAN UNITE!

How to Properly Use a Tong Gas

This only applies to states still using the ancient tong gas for cooking in the kitchen. It should be a rare sight in cities in Malaysia where there are underground gas pipes feeding home kitchens nationwide. If you don't know what a tong gas is, it's basically a heavy tank of inflammable gas that is connected to a stove to create fire. This is a method way ancient than rubbing two sticks together to make fire.

STEP 1: Buy a tong gas. Roughly RM78 a tong. If its RM100, the shop is taking advantage of you. Bring the tong home and place it in a spot near your stove. Pull the protective rubber out to reveal a hole (but don't throw away the rubber!)

STEP 2: Then gently place this gray colored device into position as shown. It should fit the hole of the tank.
STEP 3:
Twist this black thingy by the side of the gray device to 'lock' the head onto the tong gas.

STEP 4:
Make sure the other end of the gray device (should be a black rubber tube, or any color variant) is attached to the stove. Buy one of those cheap RM0.50 screws to lock the tube into place.


STEP 5:
Congratulations you can now cook safely, until the gas runs out. Go watch the Asian Food Channel if you want some inspiration on what to cook.


STEP 6 (Optional): Do STEP 1 to 5 in a reverse order if you don't plan to use it for a long time. Disconnecting the tube and putting the rubber cap back onto the tong gas should help reduce the chance of a gas leak and an exploding house.

Hello Streamyx!

Despite all the demonizing and bad-mouthing I still decided to get a Streamyx here in my new crib. I can live off the Vodafone Broadband with insanely fast speed, but it's limited to 5GB. 5 days since application the home line was established and 11 days after application the Streamyx dude came to install the modem and all (finally after frustratingly trying to call TMNet office but no one answered, ironic).

Well the dudes who came in to install the line and modem (seperate dudes) were more friendlier than the office dudes back at HQ. I really appreciate the service of these front line soldiers of the heavily criticized company. And for those who have been joining the bandwagon cussing TMNet, grow up. I've seen how a lot of people live desperately in developed countries with LIMITED bandwidth, compared to us here with unlimited use. We just tend to abuse it and forget about the suffering of others with no spare line to Facebook with. Remember how Randy from South Park advises people to stop browsing pointlessly, to only use it when truly necessary and to only view Internet pornography "twice a day... max."
