Reluctancy

After a few days of CNY, fireworks, foods, drinks, wine and etc, it is time to go back to my headache uni life. I am not really in CNY mood in these few days despite  the happy mood brought by CNY. I had been thinking how to increase my CGPA while celebrating CNY, sad case huh? There are too many stuffs to be placed into considerations. When i recalled back those childhood memories during CNY, i was very happy whenever CNY is around the corner, you know, that kind of excitements, to play some fire crackers, received angpau and play around with cousins. When we grown up, these feelings are been replaced by stress experienced in life slowly,perhaps that is what we should be facing as an adult. Even now, i am reluctant to go back to Setapak, to be away from my home, although it is just 20mins distance.

Nevertheless, life still goes on and i should follow the flow, although i am not so having CNY mood, i am still happy to meet up with my friends XD. We talked, laughed and shared what we had experienced  since we do not further our study in the same university. Whenever i am with my friends, the feeling of loneliness and stress will just go away and i like that. Ofcourse we gambled a bit and the important things in gamble is not how much you win, it is the friendly atmosphere we experienced among friends.

No worries! I am gonna meet with more friends in this weekend! Cant wait!

CNY

Today is the 1st day of Chinese New Year but i am having headache today, what a bad luck for me. Mayb it was because yesterday the reunion lunch was too awesome, whenever i recalled yesterday's food, i feel like vomiting, lol. My mother is too pro, cooked so many stuff and until now, i dun feel like eating any meats. There were chickens, pork, roasted pork, fish,chun juan and etc to make up 8 dishes. 

Then, we had steamboat for supper and stay awake up to 2am, for me. I was having a slight headache and my whole body ached before i slept. 

Today i was supposed to go back to hometown but oh well, i decided to stay at home to accompany my rabbits XD

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!XD 

pd: gotta go to fren's hse to get angpau muahahaha

Inventing My Own ipad Application for Maxis

Maxis contest participant badge

I had aways wondering, it will be super cool if the 3d hologram interface technology ever used commonly in real life. In case some of you do not know what is this technology, this tech is used widely in Iron Man Show. Do those 3D images of Iron Man suit that are projected on the wide screen in Tony Stark's lab sound familiar?

I came across with this "Inventing My Own ipad Application for Maxis" by nuffnang coincidently and i think it is very interesting indeed and decided to take part because the prizes are too tempting! A 64GB ipad 3G + Maxis wifi modem for the 1st prize and 32GB ipad 3G + Maxis wifi modem for 2nd prize!!!!!!!!. And so, while i was waiting around an hour for my haircut, i tried to think what kind of idea i could use to create an unique ipad application and this 3d hologram interface idea just popped up in brain. 

Last time during secondary school, we as the students have to build something out of woods and other materials during Kemahiran Hidup class as homework. To build a simple woodcraft, we need to draw some 2D plans with all the details from every angle. During that time, i was concern with one thing : What if there were something such as measurements and wood size that i accidentally missed out in the plans? Won't the woodcraft that i am going to build has flaws? Of course this problem could not be solved during that time and fortunately my homework turned out just fine. I mean this flaw can be ignored for my case because it is just a simple homework anyway, but how about those complicated models,for example transformer, generators,building and etc? Can we afford to make mistakes in these complicated construction?

example of 2D plans from different angles

The application that i had thought of is an application that can projects a 3D model based on those drawn 2D plans and i named it i-Hologram Interface DIY aka i-HIDIY . So what the ipad users need to do is to transfer those complete 2D plans into their ipad and use the application. This application will combines these plans and projects the blue 3D model on the ipad screen, just like the picture below: 
 The app can even highlight the angles and measurements that had been accidentally missed out in the plans with different colour that contrasts with the original 3D model light colour, for example red to complete the model. If the users are satisfied with the model, i-HIDIY is able to converts the final model into plans with better accuracy in terms of measurements,size and others that are related to the model construction. It will helps the users to minimise possible errors during the construction in for real.Meanwhile, ipad users can enlarge and revert back the model by using both index fingers to pull outwards and inwards as well.

In my opinion, if this application ever invented, it will helps out many people from different categories like students and white collars and at the same time, ipad sales will greatly increases, don't you think so?

For university students that took engineering course, they are required to build many things that are related to their course, for example, building construction for civil engineering, machinery for mechanical engineering and etc. This application will does a great favor for them to prevent unnecessary mistakes and at the same time, save time and reduces material wastage.

How about corporate field? This application will be able to help those white collars during their work and presentation. People are more interested with images rather than words. Now imagine yourself holding yr ipad with your presentation materials in the meeting room, when you begin your presentation, you used this application to project the work that you had work hard in order to convince the rest of the people in the room. It is like killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

Btw sorry for lack of pictures for my idea because i am not that good with IT stuff XD


Last but not least, Ipad is now available through Maxis now!!!!!! hurry people,go grab it!!!!XD For more info, please click here

Is death the only solution?

I believe that everyone knew about the a guy committed suicide in cheras few days back. Before i proceed, just to clarify that i am neutral about what i am going to write onward, i am just giving my own opinion regarding this matter.

I mean, is death really the only solution? Why people nowadays can just kill themselves so easily once they are stuck with problems? Alviss Kong, the guy who committed suicide after his gf decided to leaves him because her of her ex-bf. After his death, there are lots of comments on the internet, some are compliments and some are critiques. There are even some people who had set up a webpage to honour him for his loyalty towards love.

In my humble opinion, his act of committing suicide is irrational. Death can't solve problem at all. Maybe he is trying to get his gf's attention back by committing suicide ( just my opinion though), but is it worth it? To be honest, he is quite the handsome guy and for sure he will be able to find his Mrs right in the future. Yes we do feel that he loves his gf very much, but his family loves him even deeper. Now he is gone and what he had left is despair and sadness to his family. When i read the newspaper, i can't help but feeling sad for what his family has to goes through now, the emptiness in his family's heart, it will never recovers, no matter how long it takes.  
There is a Chinese saying: " Every part of our body is a gift from our parents" ( a direct translate for 身体发肤,受之父母), our parents love us ever since we were born and as their children, we should take care of them, mentally and physically, as in feeling and health. As a Chinese, filial piety is very important, and we should follow it. Now, by committing suicide for a woman that he just met within half a year, he has just defies this filial piety towards his parents. I mean, your parents had been taking care of you for 22 years, and then you repay their love by breaking their hearts, that is cruel.

And for those who honour his act of committing suicide for love, this is irrational as well. I mean, this will only encourage more youngsters to follow his footstep whenever they face love problems and death is definitely not the solution.

I hope that for those for are facing a similar problem during relationship, please do not think that death is the only solution. Some people said that it take so much courage to commit suicide and it is not because everyone fears death.  If you had gather so much courage just to commit suicide, why not use it to solve your problems? May you rest in peace, Alviss Kong.

Betong trip

Decided to update a bit XD

So, this Betong trip was held during Deepavali. Just out of random my father wanted to go to Betong Thailand because he got holidays. Me and my family departed on friday, around morning and took around 4-5 hours to reach the border.

Before we reached the Malaysia custom, my father suggested to park our car and took the TuTu car to go Thailand. This suggestion was rejected because it was ridiculous and it was proven that our decision was wise as we did not saw a single TuTu car along the way to Betong.

U noe what is bad about Thailand custom? We need to pay to get our passport stamped, wth. Not pay once for all passport, but for EACH passport, what nonsense. And when we went back to Malaysia, need to pay AGAIN. 1 thing good about Malaysia, we can lodge report if the officer tries to ask for bribe lol

The transport in Betong was like, wow. More than 90% were motorcyclists, and they dun wear helmet, they can answer phone when driving, and a motor can fits more than 3 person, how amusing XD. Oh yea, and they DUN follow traffic light.

Had a few funny scenes where the communication was a big issue in Betong.

Scene 1: We tried to buy some satay at the roadside and so we ask:
we: ini daging apa?
hawker: &^^&%&$%&%$&.....
we (scratching head) : Daging ayam?
hawker: *(*(&$#$#$@$$...... babi..$#%$#@%@
we: oh ok, mau 10 ayam 10 babi bungkus

and so we sat at the side to eat some tong sui while waiting for the satay. 10 mins later, the hawker brought the satay and thought we were eating on the spot. So we said:

we: bungkus bungkus...
hawker: ............................ (with blur face)
we: tapao tapao.....
hawker: ........( still blur)
we: pa bao (hokkien)
hawker: ..............(still blur)
we: take away take away....
hawker: ................(blur)

we were like walao eh, and somehow she managed to catch the meaning lol

Nothing much to be seen in Betong, during this trip, we went to several places such as the Hot Spring and the Communist hideout on the second day. Quite interesting for the Communist hole hideout and they have the museum for communist lol. It was my first time in hotspring and ofcuz i dint took a bath there, just putting my legs XD

 Here are some pics:
the satay hawker XD






Something i learnt after the trip, those who noe how to speak mandarin are most probably Communist lol
