Day off on Monday! yay!

My laptop, Compaq Presario C300 has officially been declared MALFUNCTION today, 1st of February 2010 after a series of post-mortem. It was on the 30th of January 2010 when my laptop went down. I was formatting my laptop because it was infected really bad. I actually was able to complete the formatting session. But somehow, I inaccidentally disturbed the BIOS system in the laptop (I got the driver from Compaq's website.). I was randomly installing drivers to complete the laptop driver management since there was still 4 unknown driver stated in the Device Manager.

The laptop couldn't detect any hard disc drive connected from the motherboard. But it did detect the thumb drive connected on the USB port. Maybe I could use an external hard disc drive and install the Windows OS on it.

Thing couldn't be better on the 31st of January 2010 when my new laptop, Hp Mini came in. I got the laptop around 9:40am in the morning. Yes! I was so happy, I invited Cello to my house for a new recording session for a new song!

Today I was asked by my mother to complete a delivery for a man from Korea who happens to be a teacher based on the name card given, help him to deliver a post to a kid, a young girl who I think is his student. The man is probably her language teacher.

My mother told me that the Korean guy was heading back to his homeland and wanted to post his gift to his student but turns out that there was no post office to be found in the MAS airport. So he turn to my mother and gave the responsibility to her to send his gift to the young girl.

I felt bad when I checked out what the man wanted to send, it was a very beautiful thumb drive (probably from Korea based on the art on the thumb drive) and some plum candy.

Somehow, my heart was overwhelmed, I don't know the story, maybe the teacher liked the student so much, he gave a gift before going back to his homeland. Or maybe the young girl was his best student, probably. Anyhow, the situation was heart-whelming.

According to the card attached, he is a Prof. of Japanese Language Dept. in SAHMYOOK UNIVERSITY.

Oh I wish I could go to Korea one day.

I'll try to complete the delivery today. I don't know how since I never dealt with delivering item that is thick.

Happy Monday! (There was a quote saying that Monday sucks. :p)

A travelling agony in Sepanggar area in Kota Kinabalu district. Sabah. (January 2010)

It is a usual Tuesday morning when I woke up. I get myself and all my things ready for college. I left house at 10:03am (expecting to reach college before 11:00am.) and head out towards the bus stop which is actually nearer in displacement than its distance (fuh! seriously, it is a bug u-turn.).

So I was waiting for the bus (my house is at the Custom Quarters Complex, at the entrance of Sepanggar Road from Menggatal or Telipok. Hence I have to take a bus to go out from my current location to the other bus stop where the Sepanggar buses stops). There were probably 3 full mini buses that has passed me by. The bus stop I'm headed to is just 1.5km away. Exactly around 10:28am, there was a bus that was half empty (yay!). At last, after a 25 minutes of wait! If I walked from home, I could reach the bus stop in 15 minutes!

Ok, first problem solved. Now waiting for the bus heading to the city, Kota Kinabalu. Instead of stopping by the bustop I was headed, I headed further up to stop at the next bustop hoping to get on the bus earlier than those at the bus stop I intended to stop at first. Well, my plan worked! But the bus only came at 10:42am! At least I get to sit down. That was 20 minutes for waiting the next bus to the city.

This wasn't the case last year, when the bus system changed. After the changes occured, less busses were drawn towards Sepanggar every month. It was 10:00am, yet there were still people congestion at bus stops.

I reached the city at 11:10am. So I was late for class. I decided to head for electronic scavenging.

Saturday: The only day I get to rest.

I woke up early today and turned on the TV. I changed the channels until I stopped on a channel showing CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. It was the eighth episode for the eighth season titled You Kill Me. While I was watching this episode, an actress somehow attracted my attention. Mandy Webster of CSI, potrayed by Sheeri Rappaport. She is attractive. :D I tried to search images of her on Google, turns out that my search was not in satisfactory.


Sheeri Rappaport

ps: You can find more images of her in CSI by searching "Mandy Webster" in Google.

If you would like to know more on Sheeri Rappaport, here's a link on Wikipedia.org and also on Google.

Another show that I watched while randomly switching the channels is Running In Heels. Yet, another woman cought my attention, Talita Silva. Tried searching in Google, could find any images of her. So here is a video of her on Youtube.com.


Back to Basics with Talita Silva from Running in Heels

Okay, this post isn't just about girls i saw on TV. I realize since yesterday that there were many channels highlighting the "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief" on MTV, Discovery Channel and other channels. Following the earthquake that hit Haiti, we should try our very best to help the peoples there. We are humans and we should help each other. Below is the link to the page of Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benifit for Eartquake Relief. Click the image below.



Todays post is all about what I do today. :D College life is a busy life, especially entering the final semester.

Kota Kinabalu City is freakingly HOT today!

I don't get it, last night the temperature was so cold (noted that it didn't rain last night), yet today, the temperature was so-so HOT! It is burning the skin! Oh my God!

The plan for today would be to send a plain white tee to Seiloh, accomplish Seiloh's mission to go online today (connection was down yesterday) and if we had the extra time, go for skateboarding at Ahdie's place.

Next week is week #12 for my current semester in PTPL. Exam is in week 17 & 18. Time sure flies by fast, I hope I'm ready for the finals. By the way, week 12 would be the presentation week for our electric & electronic project. My project is currently not "moving". I can't seem to find the flaw. sheesh~

I just found out that the guitarist for the band Necrophagist is a Mechanical Engineer. That is my discovery for today. Wuhoo~!
