this is my story - the marcuslim story

wake up for a while. toilet break,

2009-12-07T07:41:00.000-08:00

i had this dream recently. a very weird dream in which i would like myself to remember.
so, i'll "wake up" from this little hibernation for a while.

it goes like this. i dreamt about me scolding me.
yes, i saw myself infront of me, scolding me.

wat "he" said struck me so hard that i remembered it till i woke up.

wat he said was simply "Who will believe in you if even you do not believe in yourself???"

and there's also this little conversation between us. i'll juz highlight the end. its reali like something i would say. its juz that this time i'm the one consulting and also the one being consulted. it went....

Him: is there hope?
me: yes.
Him: do u have confidence?
me: yes.
Him: then u can achieve anything, my friend.

i may not have shared this to anyone but this is like my own personal motto since a long long time ago... "If u have hope then u have confidence. and when u have that confidence u can do anything". thats the priciple behind my "infinite semangat" that i'm ever so proud of.(only a certain few will know of this)

but this principle works vice versa too. over the years it has turned to "if u DONT have hope, u DONT have confidence and when u DONT have that confidence, u CANT do anything." and thats where i lost myself i guess.

hope is indeed the worst thing to be without.

till nxt time. hibernation continues.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

2009-11-02T18:49:00.000-08:00

exams are over and holidays have officially started.
and in this short 3 days so far, i have been indulging myself in TV series.

thanks to jon easaw, i manage to get my hands on F.R.I.E.N.D.S. season 1 and 2. (i'm missing season 1-episode 2)

a very nice series to follow. i recommend this series to everyone. those who are bored to death from the sem break will surely be jolted back to life. its reali reali funny.

for those who's been living in a jungle and had never heard of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. tv series, its basically about this bunch of ppl together and how their lives affect each other. its a story of daily life. how each and everyone of them complained that their life sucks but made it hilariously funny and worth while after that.

but here's the thing.... the more and more i watch this series, the more I feel a sense of de ja vu... it all seemed quite familiar. And so i continued to watch and watch and watch. until it finally hit me. its like i've seen all this before. well, more or less.

Do u see any resemblance with this........

and this?

hahaha! this is the crazy bunch of ppl i have been hanging out with for this year. although i dont always agree with them but they are undoubtedly my good friends. all of us with different past, different stories and totally different backgrounds. its kinda funny how things get tangled up in the way and how we met now that i think back again. awesome bunch of ppl. we're not all perfect but hey, we're people and we're still learning.

i dont have to introduce name by name now, do i?u know who u are.

and who knows, mayb in 10 years time, we might juz end up like them... or mayb not...

but the group picture above is not quite complete. we forgot the person BEHIND the camera... it is no other than Mr. Lee Jun Guan. But thankfully, in this modern age and time we have something known as "Photoshop cs2". its been a long time since i've ever used it properly. but anyhow, i will try my best.

ghost of marcus's past.

2009-10-05T07:38:00.000-07:00

its going to be a long boring post.

been doing a little trips to the past. well, atleast thats wat i call it...

following a series of constant insomnia, my mind begin to wonder all night long. suddenly thinking a lot about my past.
about who am I and what i did.

something like the ghost of Christmas past paying me a visit. juz that he reminds me about a lot more things than juz past Christmases.

i begin to look back to all those stupid little things that i did.

some good some bad. and the bad habit of all these ghost of the past. they tend to remind u more of the bad one. the reali reali reali embarrassing ones. hahaha. things i wish i could juz Ctrl + Z. hahaha... but i feel that all these things happened for a reason and i believe its for the greater good. like how some would say, "Good or Bad, its hard to say!"

well, there are things that i can actually make me smile like some nut-case in the middle of the night. juz laughing silently to myself. the joy u actually receive by simply helping others. the smile u get from them after u do something for them. haha. sometimes, a simple "thank you" followed with a sincere smile makes everything that is sacrificed worth while. i start recalling a few.

n yea, been watching quite alot of tv recently too. the internet in my area has fallen to the level beyond help and i cant think of anything to do online anymore. so, in replacement of Internet, i put in some TV. been watching few weird moives here and there recently too...

movies like The Pursuit of Happyness, a movie i would recommend to all.. a reali good movie. its been so long since i watch a movie that could actually make my eyes water. 2 thumbs up for me. i juz dont like will smith with that funny Afro hair and mustache. other than that, an absolutely awesome movie. inspiring too. its good movies like these that feeds energy to my marcuslim short term unlimited energy semangat bar. i have been misusing it too often.energy bar at critical stage. in deep need of inspiration and motivation.

Star World is now like one of my favourite channels... i kinda like the series that they put in. watched a few episodes of FRIENDS, Simpsons and Royal Pains. and i somehow like they guy from royal pains. he just wants to go out there to help ppl. i wanna be something like that when i grow up. i may not have superb medical knowledge but i do have my basic 1st aid skills. does that count?

after watching all these, i remember the joy of TV which i had long-forgotten. been quite long since i got this good feeling after watching TV. now there is more balance in the things i like doing and things i dont like doing.

aha. went to maintain wif my 2 old buddies recently. went up BJ hill with chiao and easaw. chiao went up ahead of us before we even reach the foot of the hill. anyway, we met up there and exchanged stories. Easaw on the other hand, we had like 30 mins to catch up on things that happened in 2 years. hahaha. told him a lot of nonsense. and he's considered good d k. able to hike up well. we shall go again this week. after that had a call from "jun guan" and "joel lim" for movie. ran down and flew to queensbay.

watched G-force. okay la the movie. i feel darwyn is a very nice Guinea pig. a "man" that leaves no rodent behind. no matter wat. i respect that attitude. i could learn a thing or 2 from him. to be more reliable. to be able to say, "okay, dun worry, juz leave it to me" confidently and have at the same time gets the confidence of everyone else. i want to have that confidence.

all in all, in my soul searching. i came to afew goals in mind.

balance Entertainment and Study, more of both
More mountains
More TV
More risks
More confidence
less complains
less emo.(i'm a VERY emo person, i read thru the things i said in the skbg forums and i even feel sad for myself. that's bad. no more of that. its a happy life from now on.)
more breakfasts
less branch-es
more sleep during night n less during day
more stern
less crazy and childish acts
.
.
.
in other words to be a better person. see me again in a month and see if there's a notable difference.hehe.

that'll be all. its late and i have test tmr. and i cant believe i'm typing this. nvm. come.. i will take on the challenge! bring it! no pain no gain.

forgot something?

2009-09-30T05:38:00.000-07:00

A recent study suggests that merely glancing from left to right (the traditional “shifty look” of spies and sneaks) can boost memory power and help people differentiate between real and imagined memories. Moving the eyes up and down had no such effect. The trick may work because the specific left/right eye movement engages both the left and right hemispheres of the brain at the same time. As little as 30 seconds of the activity could be enough to help you remember where you left your wallet, or the number sequence needed to deactivate that bomb.

Dr Andrew Parker, of Manchester Metropolitan University, explains “Often, we may be confused over whether a memory is for something real or something we only imagined or thought about.

"For example ‘Did I really lock the door or did I only imagine locking the door?’ Bilateral eye movements may help us to determine accurately the source of our memory.

“This could be important in situations where we feel uncertain, unclear or maybe even just confused about what we may have done or said.

“Our work shows that true memory can be improved and false memory reduced. One reason for this is that bilateral eye movements may improve our ability to monitor the source of our memories.”

“Some research indicates that certain types of memory – for example what one did yesterday, or memory for a word in an experiment – are dependent upon interactions between the cerebral hemispheres.”

This research was published in the science journal Brain and Cognition, and is further evidence that eyes and memory are likely somehow connected.

so the nxt time i ask if i locked my car, i'll turn my eye from left to right and try to recall... we'll see if it reali works. haha!

i hope it does.

cause it gets irritating at times. i keep asking other ppl if i locked my car or not. if i took my bottle or not.

today, jun guan can even tell me my inti account password which i myself fail to remember.

me and my memory

mountains

2009-09-16T04:37:00.000-07:00

lately there's a couple of things troubling my little head.
nothing much can be done about that, so i chose to free up my mind in some way.

its started from an absolutely ramdom thought. during class as Mr. Alan Wong is teaching about transformers, my mind will be wandering around. body there, soul not there. after the class i juz went "i wan go climb mountain!"...

if u knew me long enough, u'll see that i'm full of this weird sudden things.
when i came to that decision, jun guan was dragged along as he follows me home. poor jg...

in our college attire, we took on BJ hill which is juz opposite INTi. realised how unfit i reali am and how jg walks non-stop like a robot.

that was the 1st time. my mind was cleared a little but i guess 1 time is not enough. after that, jg seems to share the same enthusiasm and we decided to hike up again. this time, wen ping decided to tagg along. and since wp tagged along, yonn-weih has no choice but to follow too cuz he follows wp home. the curse of the non-drivers.

and from there, we can now see 4 crazy guys hiking up BJ hill at the weirdest times with their jeans and sandals.

u can see his version here.

hahaha... sorry guys, all because 1 guy came up with a random mountain climbing idea. but its good exercise and a good way to free up the mind.

Arghhh.. i have to stop thinking too much. focus on wats reali important and forget the rest. why is is it so hard, marcus?? (slaps self)

watever happened, is already too late and for watever that is going to happen, no matter how much u worry, nothing will change. thats wat i keep telling myself. i know that! but i cant do that.

oh yea, suddenly remembered the time i watched spiderman III during jg's birthday. a reali nice movie. gets me everytime... listened to a very nice saying from aunt mary that reali striked me.

peter parker: i dont know wat to do now.
aunt mary: you must start with the hardest thing. you must forgive yourself.

raaah!

2009-09-08T06:08:00.000-07:00

i feel like this now....

dont get it? something like this.....

i have bitten off more than i can chew.

so now i'm helplessly lost. juz waiting for my time to come.
can i just sit there like an idiot like nothing is ever gonna happen?

why cant i walk thru fire laughing and escape death smiling like i used to....

i want the old me back.
can i reformat my head to how it was last year?
that'll be all...

p.s : watermelons are great thirst quenchers...

THIS PART MAY SEEM LITTLE BUT IS THE MAJOR LUCK OF THE DAY!!!

Incident #5
my car died. literally juz died....

Unlucky - while i was driving halfway, and my car juz stopped functioning.... yes.. while driving halfway... and no, i did not lose control and bang anything.... good thing i got enuf momentum to put myself at the corner of the road then make a quick turning into a housing estate. wah... my car not that light oso... its hard and real heavy, or is it juz me thats too weak... pushed to the side so it wont bother ppl.
Lucky - i was able to put my car somewhere not disrupting other people... imagine if i were to continue using Jalan Masjid Negeri back home... if my car suddenly stops functioning? right in the middle of the main road... ppl will curse me and remember my car for the rest of their lives.

after that i tried to troubleshoot myself but the problem was beyond my comprehension. couldnt do much. walk back home after that.

Incident #6
calling my dad

Unlucky - couldnt reach him. yellow man not following him. wah, scared he's doing a job at the butterworth airport. then he cannot help me d.
Lucky - my sms got thru after an hour or so. he's in penang. Special thanks to HENLY electronics for forcing my dad to spray their shop this morning, if it wasnt for them, my dad wouldn've gone to prai.

incident #7
wanted to go back to my car.

Unlucky - its parked quite some distance away. was thinking of walking back there at 1st.
Lucky - there's always my trusty SparkiE to the rescue! my Motorbike! wah, its been so long old buddy.

met up with my dad near my car .both father and son tried to troubleshoot this time. To no avail, we called the mechanic about 15mins later.

incident #8
suddenly STOMACH ACHE!!

Unlucky - of all times to have a stomach ache, it had to be in the middle of a housing estate with a spolt car.
Lucky - it was near my dad's old office. so he knew the ppl there quite well. Used one of the shoplot's toilet. no choice. EMERGENCY.

after relieving myself, we went back to my car and not long after that the mechanic came. i already told him it wasnt the battery thats causing the problem but he didnt believe n brought a new battery for me. eh, i'm a future E&E engineer ok! battery dunno check ah? can measure for him 12volts out of my still-fully-functioning battery. siau siau, my car equipped with a DMM. and as i forecasted, its not the batteriy's fault. it was some other thing. passed the keys to him and he went for lunch. we went entrusted him with KVA and went back too.

Incident #9
going back home with bike.

Unlucky - so long never ride bike d... forgot to put up the leg stand.
Lucky - didnt fall down or anything. realise before making a huge left turn. thank god.

went back. its nearly 3 something. ate my lunch. onlined a bit then slept.

Incident #10
answering the phone.

Unlucky - was sleeping when my dad called.
Lucky - wind blew on my curtains and somehow the curtains gave me a tickle and i woke up in shock... (i dont know whether to consider it lucky or unlucky but atleast it woke me up.)

dad took me to my car and i drove it back home. it was said that there was a wiring problem. 1 wire just decided to drop off and the whole car cannot function. i always believe that my car will give me some sort warning 1st before giving me any problem but it didnt this time. That particular wire juz suddenly decides to come loose and fall out, so i cant reali blame my car for not warning me. well, atleast it lasted long enuf for me to send Jun Guan home. Old car d ler... cant complain much.

Anyhow, it is still the BEST weird green car a person can own. HAHAH!

all in all... i juz wanna thank god for today. hahaha... reali. I'm always lucky when i'm having bad luck. yea, the statement is a bit twisted and contradicting but its true. Good news will come after a bad news... makes me remember of one saying i read somewhere. it goes something like this :

"When you are falling, do not fear. because in the end, God will either catch you or teach you to fly"

The day before before power

2009-08-21T22:21:00.000-07:00

suddenly thought again how i screwed up one of my subject this semester... haiyh...
oh nvm that, i'll guess i just have to retake the whole subject... no pre-requisites for it so i wont feel so bad... anyway, i'm not reali going into that right now...

i wanna talk about the day before before that!

during that very day, chia haw sent me a link thru msn for news on star online that there is going to be a visible meteor shower from 1am - 4am... and everytime i open google's homepage, i can see that even google highlighted the event. u can see lots of falling stars along with the word google on the homepage during that time.

well, if u didnt know, i actually have quite an interest for this small small things... hahaha... from solar eclipse to lunar eclipse and to meteor showers. i want to see them with my own eyes! but no matter how, i would always fail miserably...

i could still remember, during the forecast of the lunar eclipse, i went to inti that night to get a nice view. what better location than the top of the building on top of a mountain. i went there with the excuse of wanting to study but turned on my timer for every 5 mins. every 5 mins, my alarm would ring and i will take a good look at the sky... hoping to see the moon covered up by the earth's shadow... the view that i expected was a bright moon with a mass of darkness in the middle....

but in the end... that night was no different then any other night.... i didnt see any eclipse nor anything like it... i see clouds covering it nia...

Then came the solar eclipse forecast. in Malaysia, its raining and cloudy all day long... i couldnt even see the sun in the first place. well, they did say in malaysia we wont get to see much for from our view, the sun will only be covered 8%... a big let down...

ahh.. i digressed... the most recent one was the so called perseid meteor shower. some comet named swift turtle was suppose to come quite close to earth and breaking up bit by bit... these little bits will then collide with our atmosphere and burn up... we're suppose to be able to see these little sparks as meteor showers...

i expected to see this.

or this...

maybe even this....

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

but to my dismay.... from 1am to 4 am.... i only see this.....

yeap. only this

it was all pitch blaccccckkkk!!
well, i did see something. a smmmmmall tiny bit la... i dont know if its my imagination but i did see a few strands of white threads TWICE... but neither of it lasted for even 2 secs so i'm not 100% sure... and must stare very long only can see...(i think i can see more if i stare at my dad's head) that time i saw it was barely 1 am... it was juz 12 sumthing...

i remember i went to see at about 10 then decided to rest abit n wake up at 12.30 to go watch the sky again... i had an early wake-up call and went straight outside to see at about 12.15am... i spent quite a while lying on the back of my mum's car while watching the sky... (my neck hurts after a while looking straight up while standing.so muz find comfortable position.)

so far there isnt anything to be proud of but atleast i tried. for that i'm pretty satisfied. but one day i will surely have a good look at it... I SHALL see it with my own eyes.

or is it like how cousin says it,

"Aiyaa, lidat u wont see wan laar.. without the right person beside u, u wont see anything!"

i was sitting something like this if u asked how do u sit ON my mum's wira.
n yes, almost everyone that passed by stared at me.
but i couldnt care less.... ahaha.
thats just me.
(note: imagine the car is blue, this is the only picture i can get)

history repeats...

2009-08-16T22:03:00.000-07:00

was suppose to fetch my cousin from the airport.
she just came back from langkawi, so as usual, i'm the one who always have nothing to do at home.
well, all was good until i reached the airport.

i can see one policeman having the time of his life, writing tickets for all those parking on the yellow line... well, its not my car so it doesnt concern me... i simply went ahead. and because i wanted to spare RM2(and the saman), i parked somewhere infront and called rosalyn to give me a miss call when she's out then i'll make 1 round back to the airport.

about 10 minutes later, she called and i started to make my little round. as i was driving back, there was a police check at one of the road. i didnt reali bother as normally i juz drive pass them. i was confident i didnt do anything wrong so i couldnt careless. or so, thats what i thought.

out of the crowd of about 10 cars, they called me to pull to the corner. surprised, i juz did what i was told... our conversation went something like this.

Me : Bang, ada apa masalah?
Mr policeman : adik, u ada lesen tak? Cukup umur untuk memandu?
Me : (ish!) Adaaaaa.... mesti la ada... (while digging for my pocket for my wallet)
Mr policeman : i nak tengok lesen dan ic

at this point i can see another car called to stop at the side. i was like....

"hah, atleast i'm not the only one."

Me : nah! Ini I.C. and ini lesen. Sudah CDL juga abang.
Mr policeman : (looks for a while.....) . . .

at this point the car BEHIND me already continue on his journey.... and u can see like another 10-15 cars passed by without any problem...

Mr policeman : adik... tunggu sat ya, kami nak check database dulu.
Me : huh? swt......

15 minutes later....

Mr policeman : oh, u punya ori. ok, u boleh pergi sekarang.

when i finally reached the air port....
Rosalyn: wat took u so long?
Me : LOOOONG STORY..... i'll tell u on the journey back...

told her the story and yes... she laughed like crazy... n this isnt the 1st time... this happend to me on bike oso....

hmph! the policeman is just jealous of my youth.

wah... i must reali learn to look more adult-ish... nvm... like how i always comfort myself, when i'm 50 years old, i'll look like i'm at my 30's... Hahaha...

on my way back, from airport, i nearly made so many wrong turnings... i have terrible sense of direction.... i nearly turned to Teluk Kumbar area.... and also Relau area... wah... too blurr d...
till nxt time.

belated post of birthdays, rush week n bon odori

2009-08-01T05:12:00.000-07:00

time for an update. i havent had a proper update for a very long time.
n i'm gonna be talking about stuff that happend nearly 2 weeks ago.

from wat i can recall, it was a saturaday. on the night before, jes called to invite me for her birthday party. wah, was actually pretty shocked but agreed to go anyway. i've known her since i was standard 1.(wah... its been nearly 11 years) one of my super long friends. haha!

me, chuin, chen, jes, racheal yan yee daphne(i think..) and sherilyn.
plus jon who's behind the camera.

all of us gathered at Awana -something-... i cant remember names properly. its near penang swimming club. was actually suppose to drive, fetching chuin n chen but we all ended up following easaw. he drove the black perdana... quite an exciting journey. a perdana can reali accelerate well. the highlight of the journey was how easaw likes the panic look on our faces and how we didnt listen to sook chen when we're suppose to and when we listened to her when we're not suppose to... hahhaa... pretty exciting ride. wouldnt be as thrilling if it was me driving. glad easaw took the charge.

CONTINUATION
reached there, eat, take pictures. i have to guide chia haw there too... the few times u hear marcus(of all ppl) giving directions.
Shared some mutton meal with chuin and steal bit of chen's fish since she cant finish. no good to waste food. after finishing our meal, they wanted to go penang swimming club for karaoke....
i didnt know about this part of the plan.... wah.. go there sing sing sing.... thats juz not me.

for the sake of people celebrating Bon Odori in esplanade that day, i refrained myself from causing another tsunami to strike. At the end, me n chiao still had to sing at least 1 song in order to leave. hopped into chia haw's car n head directly to Esplanade even though we were told that it was super jam.

Ended up watching the fireworks in chiao's car.... hahaha... not bad la... fireworks were great. but somehow i felt last time was better. can see that all the cars paused when the fireworks are going on and immediately move once the fireworks was over. chiao wanted to go home after that but i already told joel n the rest that i'll be there... so i WILL be there... opened the door and went running towards the main field.

after a long search, finally bumped into wp n sp and ultimately met up with jl and hm. wah... dunno where to stand after that. hahaha. after that i was somewat glad that i missed the fireworks with them. at that time, i guess i was a character that wasnt meant to be there. hahaha... saw quite a lot of ppl there too.ppl as in schoolmates whom i didnt see for quite a long time. n chan still owe me my photoshop CD.

Had supper at some Sg Pinang hawker stall together with ww and se... a nice place with lots of food. but i was pretty full that time so i juz had a can of 100plus. they talked about their schoollife and kept on highlighting wat happened 20th Nov 18 and a half years ago. (-.-)

slept soundly immediately after reaching home.. i felt that everything was on a rush that day. i dunno y? i still remain slow as usual but still feels like a rush... but it was not a bad day.. I had quite a lot of fun and was happy on how things went even if i was late for everything. couldnt have been a better Saturday.

my recently bought laptop has been giving some problems lately....

things has been coming out and programs keep on crashing.
even microsoft words.

n to top it all up, it cant even play cs condition zero.

didnt reali bother me much until my mircosoft words start crashing while doing my report.
this laptop was bought solely for this reason.
reports. n now it cant even do that.
but all is good. i DO have a warranty for it. so its juz a matter of sending it back to them and all will be as good as new.

but the thing thats bugging me is... how did it become like this?
i dont download stuff on this computer.
i always try my best to scan pendrives whenever it enters my lappie.
i installed Trend Micro Internet Security(not juz anti-virus) and probably did everything i know to block every entry point i can think of....
but y?? y does it still give me problem???
the answer was made clear when i visited jg's blog a while ago....
now i know y....

i should have known.

p/s: ppl, beware! ur reports are at stake.

E - nite 09

2009-07-06T05:47:00.000-07:00

Engineering Night 2009

1st time i attended a prom.
1st time i spent more than RM6 for my hair.

it was quite a night. it would have been a nice n wonderful night but i didnt sleep at all the night before so my energy bar was actually near critical. but its still good. since chan decided to postpone the deadline till today.

and this time, i even got myself a lucky draw! I shall name it The Pig of Good Luck!

and the picture i like most is still this one.

all of us with our very own style... n i feel like an 8 year old. but i'm good with that. i dun mind. hahaha!

that'll be all for now... wanna "por" back my sleep...

i juz wanna be me.

2009-06-28T06:40:00.000-07:00

sometimes as we advance further in life, i feel that it gets harder and harder to be urself.
i have difficulties being my self lately.

they say hope is the worst thing to be without. i feel really really hopeless right now.

there seems to be more n more n only emo post from me recently. i guess that makes me a pretty emotional guy. mayb i am. arghhh, screw it. i dont care anymore.

dreams do affect me quite a lot. n this time, a nightmare came to life. n the worst part is i cant do anything. all i can do is juz sit there n watch everything RE-happen... as it eats me from within... my mind is so full of words but my mouth juz cant say them out. i am not me anymore.

and i'm the lousiest actor u can find in the face of this earth. i cannot hide anything. sooner or later my mask will fall off n my "real" face comes out.

even i, dont know wats my problem. i dont know wats wrong with me. seriously....
when i look back now...its only a small matter n there were so many things that i could have done. yet i decided not to. thats wat pisses me off. n over n over again it replays in my head. the moment i done nothing while i could have done atleast something. for that, i juz wanna bang my head on the wall...

in everything i do, i screw up. makes me feel like its better if i would juz dissapear. everything will probably be the same. mayb better.

to make things super clear, i'm not pointing faults at anyone. i am merely disappointed at myself. but one part of my mind is telling me is that if i cannot forgive myself then how am i going to advance? the 1st step muz always begin with identifying the problem n forgiving ur ownself.

hah. easier said then done. i cant juz say "marcus, i forgive u" and hope it'll work... i can never lie to myself. thats wat makes it hard. like they say, one's greatest enemy is the devil inside of him.

anyway, even when i'm as dissapointed as i am now, there are still a few great news. my friends seem to be doing well. sometimes juz looking at them happy makes u quite happy urself too. i dont know about others but i'm like that. thanks for giving me good news at times like this when i reali need good news to parry the bad ones.

i remember someone told me: time heals all.

i reali do hope i can forgive myself soon. every sec is agony.

it didnt work.

2009-06-13T06:54:00.000-07:00

the circuit constructed didnt work....
version 3.0 needed....
another powerful inspiration required...

recuperating....

2009-06-10T07:17:00.000-07:00

getting better....
can now walk properly adn carry out daily activities without much hinderance...

but however, there have been a few side effects....
it seems that there was a few changes noted in me over the past few days.

I finally start using Inti lift like normal ppl. normally the usual me would opt for stairs. now i rather juz stand there n push the button.
i begin to be extra paranoid about everything around me. i feel that everything will turn out wrong. n i begin to get 'scared' of everything. even the slightest things and always reluctant to take on any risk.
more to find out soon.

this is wat 1 day of torture from ur stomach can do to u....

p/s: jun guan, if i ever acted like that or shriek like a little girl for small small things again, pls do slap me.

n yea... history was made today too... perhaps i didnt blog about it yet but while i was suffering from the excruciating pain. an inspiration came n i drew a circuit out. went to confrim with mr. chan n got rejected in 3 secs.

the nxt day, made modifications to in n manage to come out with circuit version 2.0.....
and it turned out not as bad as expected.

got a "Hmmmm, ok. The circuit is worth trying. " from mr. Chan.

for me thats a very very very good achievement...
to be able to come out with something original that might or might not work.
buts thats definately a MARCUSLIM circuit.
u cant find it anywhere else..... lets keep our fingers crossed n hope for the best.
till nxt time.

sick.

2009-06-07T02:42:00.000-07:00

yesterday... the most painful n miserable day i had ever since god knows when....

food poisoning.....
a reali reali reali reali bad food poisoning.....

if i wasnt having diarrhoe in the toilet then i was probably vomiting in my room(with a pail of course) i think i'm even thinner now...... was vomiting until there is nothing left to throw out.....

wanna sleep but couldn't
wanna eat but couldn't
wanna do report but also couldn't

wah.... its been so long since i gone through so much pain n agony....

now i'm all drained.... left there dead without any energy... it even require tremendous effort to keep myself in this sitting position to type this post.....

and i have 4 reports to complete... 1 of which needs to be handed up tomorrow..... for once i hate myself for procrastinating.... could have done it long ago..... but chose not to....

i think i'll go back to sleep now. who can do my report for me? anyone? please?

BEWARE!

2009-05-29T06:55:00.000-07:00

its not safe anymore.....
it comes when u least expects it....
it strikes when ur soundly asleep...
AND THREATENS PPL TO NOT SLEEP......
ooh... the horror.... the agony....
beware if u see this......

Save yourselves before its too late......

double jointed? who cares!

2009-05-16T09:31:00.000-07:00

What doest it mean to be Double Jointed?

here are many misunderstandings when it comes to the meaning of being double jointed. In one case, the term itself implies that double jointed people have twice the number of joints than normal human beings. Some even assume that double joints allow for twice the usual amount of motion. However, these meanings are myths. All human beings have the same number of bones and joints, all of which have similar capacities for movement. So what does it really mean to be double jointed?

If you are double jointed, it simply means that your joints and their surrounding structures, known as ligaments and tendons, are unusually flexible, enabling you to bend or rotate them in ways that other people find impossible and painful. Furthermore, you are able to stretch your joints, ligaments and tendons to a greater extent than commonly experienced by people with normal flexibility. For instance, there are circus performers who can bend their bodies to the back from the waist, locking their heads in between their legs. Other double jointed people can bend their thumbs the wrong way until the tips touch their hands.

From a medical viewpoint, being double jointed is synonymous with hypermobility. This is another misnomer, as 'hyper' indicates that which is too much. Double jointed people are not overextending their joints, but are rather allowing them to function to their fullest capability. It just so happens that this capability is beyond the typical person's ability for movement.

How does it happen?

Joints are the hinges that connect two or more bones together, allowing motion and movement to occur naturally in a particular direction. Ball-and-socket joints, however, are joints in which the rounded end of a bone fits into the hollow of another, allowing rotary movement in every direction. The opening or hollow in which the bones sit is called a socket. The depth of a socket determines the flexibility of that joint. Cartilage, a firm fibrous tissue made up of a protein called collagen, cushions bones at joints and is another factor that affects joint pliancy.

Extreme flexibility in double jointed people is caused by a combination of several factors. Double jointed people have a very shallow socket, enabling more movement in both directions. Where ball-and-socket joints are concerned, people with double joints can intentionally and painlessly dislocate the bone completely from its socket and then move it back into position again. Shallow sockets, combined with bone ends that are smoother than normal, also help joints slip and move easily in any direction. Ligaments and cartilage that stretch beyond the usual extent impact joint flexibility in the same way.

Does it matter?

We have all been double jointed at some point in our lives. A good example can be taken from our childhood, when we could bend from the waist and touch the tips of our fingers to the floor while keeping our legs straight. As we age, our ligaments, cartilage and bones harden, losing their suppleness. This is why any sports requiring extended flexibility, such as gymnastics or ballet, should be inculcated from a young age. So, being double jointed does not matter as long it as does not negatively impact our health and well-being.

. . . . . . . . . . . now thats y i can bend my fingers so easily. . . i tot i juz had cha bor-like hands. . . turns out to be more than that. . . . argh... nvm.... contented with a cursed body... i would definitely wish for more but nothing can be done. all i can do is accept. this is my body n this is how i treat it.

when my eyes are tired, i still strain them to see. thinking that the only thing stopping me is my mind. if i can overcome the mind then i can achieve anything. and i get wat i deserve. me without my glasses is like a blind man without his sunglasses n walking stick. we both look normal but cant reali see anything. I now remember that i muz also listen to my body.

when there is something reali heavy that i cannot lift. i will continue trying n trying n trying. thinking that on every try, i will get stronger. slowly lifting it bit by bit n finally to where i want it to be. i keep thinking that if i work it hard enough my arms can carry anything. my arm has done so much for me. now, it has be dislocated twice. even a simple swing from my own body can separate the ball and socket of my arm. i now remember that i am still human and 70% of the daily things we do, we do it with both arms.

when i fall down from a bike or down the stairs, i keep thinking that i will heal no matter wat happens. skinned knees are almost a close fren of me. there was a time when seeing my leg without an injury is equivalent to finding a four leaved clover. i tell myself all the time that i must not be afraid of falling down for if i'm so afraid , i wont achieve anything. now i have a scar that can never heal. i now remember that i'm not Claire Bannette nor a 'wu' n some falls CAN be fatal.

when i deal with my electrical experiments in the lab, i do not fear to try as i know the experiments are designed to be safe and will cause me minimal harm. i was stubborn thinking that my electrical knowledge is sufficient and will not in any way get electrocuted. but the truth is i'm juz an amateur. when i'm out of the lab and conducting my own experiments, i was 2 inches away from scaring my face. Blue sparks, that was able to melt away my multimeter probe(made of metal) in milliseconds, flew right pass my face. i now remember electricity is like fire, use it wisely n it will be useful, use it wrongly and it may just be Armageddon.

i now feel quite bad for the way i treated my body. well, this is wat i did n this is wat i deserve. seems pretty fair to me. i now feel actually quite happy i had this skinny little body. i could not ask for anything more. for i can proudly say that this body has endured thru quite a lot.Even that, i thank god for all those miserable experiences for it is by all this experiences we learn to be a better person.

hahaha! and after all this, I am indeed happy to be alive! i shall now treasure every moment and every body part. i will listen to my eyes, arms, legs and together with the rest. but i still refuse to let the fear of getting hurt mess with my daily life. i will still continue exploring the realm of uncertainties n will inevitably fall once more. thats juz me, i cant help it. its my calling. as long as i still have 2 arms n 2 legs n workable body parts, i will rise up gain.

i shall end the post with a nice saying i came across.

Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure keeps you Humble,
Success keeps you Glowing,
...but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you Going...

p/s : Thank you God for this wonderful body n beautiful life! i will take good care of it!

poison?

2009-05-14T05:22:00.000-07:00

Taiwan, a woman suddenly died unexpectedly with signs of bleeding from her ears, nose, mounth & eyes. After a preliminary autopsy it was diagnosed death due to arsenic poisoning death. Where did the arsenic come from?

The police launched an in-depth and extensive investigation. A medical school professor was invited to come to solve the case.

The professor carefully looked at the contents from the deceased's stomach, in less than half an hour, the mystery was solved. The professor said: 'The deceased did not commit suicide and neither was she murdered, she died of accidental death due to ignorance!'

Everyone was puzzled, why accidental death? The arsenic is of the U.S. military for carrying rice seedlings H Gao. The professor said: 'The arsenic is produced in the stomach of the deceased.' The deceased used to take 'Vitamin C' everyday, which in itself is not a problem. The problem was that she ate a large portion of shrimp/prawn during dinner. Eating shrimp/prawn is not the problem that's why nothing happened to her family ever though they took the same shrimp/prawn. However at the same time the deceased also took 'vitamin C', that is where the problem is!

Researchers at the University of Chicago in the United States , found through experiments, food such as soft-shell shrimp/prawn contains a much higher concentration of - five potassium arsenic compounds.

Such fresh food by itself has no toxic effects on the human body! However, in taking 'vitamin C', due to the chemical reaction, the original non-toxic - five potassium arsenic (As anhydride, also known as arsenic oxide, the chemical formula for As205) changed to a three potassium toxic arsenic (ADB arsenic anhydride), also known as arsenic trioxide, a chemical formula (As203), which is commonly known as arsenic to the public!

　　　　
Arsenic poisoning have magma role and can cause paralysis to the small blood vessels, "mercapto Jimei"??, inhibits the activity of the liver and fat necrosis change Hepatic Lobules Centre, heart, liver, kidney, intestine congestion, epithelial cell necrosis, telangiectasia. Therefore, a person who dies of arsenic poisoning will shows signs of bleeding from the ears, nose, mouth & eyes.
Therefore; as a precautionary measure,
DO NOT not take shrimp/prawn when taking 'vitamin C'.

After reading this; please do not be stingy. Forward to your friends and family!!

For those know Mandarin, pls read the mandarin coz the English a bit 'kelakar' esp. the medical terms due to it being translated from Google...

lalalala! all is OK!

2009-05-09T00:09:00.000-07:00

yesterday i dreamt of running on top of houses, jumping from rooftop to rooftop and climbing up 10 story buildings. on top of that 10 story building, i saw a reali reali nice view!!! it was very dark but i can see a nice scenary of the lights in the city from the top! with a few flashes of lightning n rain, i can see a building with many many colourful lights (suntech?), airport with a runway of lights to guide planes, pisa with 10,000watts lightbulbs pointing upwards, penang bridge decorated like a christmas tree, queensbay beside gurney(huh?), PETRONAS TWIN TOWER and sooo much mooooore!!

(wait... now that i typed it out this place sound QUITE FAMILIAR...except for the twin tower part and extra exagerations)

it feels great to run around freely like that! feels like i've gone for a nice long jog! juz that my feet didnt even make a step. i shall call it "mental jogging".

i feel much better. i guess i'm ok now.

Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end!

THIS IS DEFINATELY NOT YET THE END!! I'M NOT DONE YET!

n yea, due to some complications, i have to be back home before sundown again. bah! its juz a matter of time before i break that rule again. thats juz me. sorry mum!

wats wrong with me.

2009-05-03T04:57:00.000-07:00

okayyy...i cant take it anymore.... before u guys make more random assumptions....

i was talking about THIS! this is my lobster.

for those who didnt know.....
marcus lim no longer travel to and fro from college using 2 wheels.... he goes with 4...
it all started end of last year when i dislocated my arm.
the question at that moment was....

"with my arm like this, how am i going to college??"

even with my arm partially healed. its still not safe for me to ride a bike.... imagine if i'm on a bike and my right arm(my dominant arm and also the arm controlling the accelerator) suddenly dislocats again? if anyone of you is asking wat about my mum's wira, the answer is simple. She is using it to work everyday.so i cant use it. the only solution to that is going college by this! (its either that or i will have joel fetching me everyday)

its a nissan ad-resort. with the extra metal compartment on the top, it was voted weirdest car around. hahaha! but its ok. i like it juz the way it is. a car that will "grow" with me. the car is actually my dad's but was previously borrowed to my aunt. she recently bought a new car and therefore given back to my dad. since no one is using it n i need transport. I GET TO DRIVE IT. so, if u see the weirdest car with the weirdest number plate(KV 9765 A. its a Langkawi car, therefore it has KV with an A at the back) and a weird driver in it, that's me on the road. its generally an auto car but i call it a semi-auto because this auto car can "mati enjin".

all in all... its a nice weird car. its MY weird car. at least that's wat i thought.

n if we were to go back to the beginning again, the reason i got the car was because i cant ride a bike. so wat happens now when i'm back to normal? what do ppl do to cars that isn't going to be used? SELL!

to be honest, i never expected to get my very own car like this. i only expect a bike or something like that. having this car for nearly 4 months is already considered a bonus. but i dun want it to be taken away from me juz like that.

explanation done. i dun quite like explaining my abstract posts, truthfully speaking. in fact, i hate doing it. it spoils completely the purpose of the very post itself. but due to recent events i have to clarify it. I dont want any misunderstandings.

ughhh... i dun feel right recently...
irritated, frustrated, agitated and very very very very very disturbed.
all this with no apparent reason.
i lose my patient so easily and go emo-ing beyond help.
i get disappointed at the smallest things and unable to see the bright side like i use to.
unenthusiastic almost all the time and i dont have mood for anything, even for things i like doing.
i think i've become moody-ier than those with PMS.
i'm tired yet i cant sleep. i'm hungry yet i dun feel like eating.
i feel so uneasy, even when there's nothing.
i have broken all the principles i made for myself. i'm loosing myself.
talking to my dog didnt work this time. (he's my best counsellor i got now. he gives the best advice and the best head to pat.)

i dont know wat the hell is wrong with me. its like smth is going to happen to me. smth big.

college starts tmr.

. . . i feel like running in the rain. . . . .

lobster or juz plain white rice...

2009-04-27T08:15:00.000-07:00

**WARNING : another one of those reali reali abstract post that no one would understand except me.**

everyone is hungry... everyone needs food....

after starving for so long. i thought i could only expect to eat plain white rice...

something i can get almost anywhere... easily available as there is abundance of it and hence there isnt much competition over it.... in other words, easy food. and its pretty feeling too. however, it alone is plain and quite tasteless... although it can make me full easily but will it reali satisfy me?? Its definitely enough to stay alive but it'll be like eating for ur stomach... we wont reali enjoy the food to our heart's content. like a vampire living on cow's blood instead of human's. but either way... however or in whatever way u look at it, u may still live a nice and peaceful life with juz white rice.

and by time, who knows, i might even like it...the simplicity of it. and they say that if u chew white rice in ur mouth long enuf, u can actually taste a little bit of sweetness (scientific explanation : enzyme amylase in our saliva will breakdown chains of starch, to simple sugar, maltose, and therefore giving sweetness). or the white rice may juz have some gravy or curry right under it together with more dishes. it juz needs us to "korek" deeper.

that's how i have thought to myself all these while.... this is wat i expect. a simple dish with a surprise center as a bonus.

but wat if... all of a sudden THIS suddenly is served right in front of me!

how's that!
a big lobster for the meal.

something far more tastier than i have ever expected! something more expensive than i could ever afford. and its served right in front of me. Even before the rice came.

there it lies...now what. .? take it?
i dont even know how to eat it?? how to break the shell?? where to start eating???
i have no clue..... i have never eaten any in my whole entire life.
should i still take it?? or continue waiting for the rice to come.

but wat a huge waste huh if i were to juz leave it there... i mean, its there, right in front of me n i were to juz ignored it.... its like walking past a 50$ note on your couch.... obviously, if i dont take it other ppl might juz do it... after all, who doesn't want such a grand meal??? i tell u, SURELY there will be competition... a lot of it...its an exquisite meal everyone would only dream about...

life is sometimes sooo unexpected. when we expect so little and suddenly given so much, we would even wonder if that is reali actually for us... or izzit for the guy nxt to us....

i reali dont know wat to do now... go for it?? no? well, thats juz the indecisive me... hahaha! nothing has changed all these years... i'll leave this abstract post here to remind myself nxt time... do not waste ur time trying to understand it, u wont get it.

n for all we know, the lobster may be alive n juz crawl away n everything will be of no use... life's unpredictable. thats the beauty of it, i guess.

the 2 dishes...

**truly a very very abstract post, nobody will understand this post(i wouldnt understand it either if i didnt create it). hahaha... i guess its meant to be that way.

till nxt time. (i'll try putting something smth ppl can actually read n understand)

**a special post dedicated to my pork chop n PowerShot A430**

like how new generations are born n old ones fade away...
like how babies are born and our old folks pass away...
like how toshiba came in and 2 faithful "companions" left me....

To the most trustworthy camera a photographer could ever have....

Canon PowerShot A430

You were the camera that followed me from IMG 0001 until IMG 9999 that the numbering starts again from IMG 0000... yes.. this camera has taken THAT many pictures.... always readily in my left pocket during form 5. i can vividly remember the times i used you to copy notes whether from the blackboard or notes from ppl.... Like it was juz yesterday when it was hari sukan n no other camera's were available.... The camera then endured thru ATC together with me. Canon, delighting you always.

now you take pictures with cross-over distortions and auto-effect....All in all, You have served me well.....
eric, now u know y i dun have "real" pictures of my toshiba...

secondly,

Pork Chop

i am so sorry but i have no real picture of u...... all i'm left with is the cover... for those who wish to know, pork chop is the cup i drink my milo/milk/leng teh/water/lychee/many more from almost everyday. it was a birthday gift from chiao from dunno how long ago.... my mum was washing it that day and "KA-PIANGGGG!!!" it fell and broke.... all i have left is the cover that came together with the cup that has never been used.... juz imagine a cup with that colour n that pig design on it. n keep in mind that it isnt juz an ordinary cup! its a Musical Cup! it will ring when u put it on a table.... i remember pouring hot water in it n it wont stop ringing for 3 days! i had to wrap it in cloth n hide it in the deepest part of my store room so that we can sleep at night. n it kept ringing for 3 days 3 nights.All in all, You have served me well.....

"i shall take this chance(although its too late) to thank you for serving me. RIP. u shall be remembered."

"End of Tribute Post"

New Lappie! Toshiba M300-S411

2009-04-21T07:08:00.001-07:00

i wont brag too much about it...
but i am really really happy about my new laptop...
i only expected one that is powerful enuf run microsoft words so i can do the report with the rest. (instead of me alone in wen pings room using his pentium III destop.)
not that i'm complaining about his computer(it has served and saved me countless times) but i was isolated from the rest... then each time wan transfer anything muz plug out things... then muz choose between internet or thumdrive. hahaha

but all of that is the past! Now we can all welcome this new toy with open arms.

I present to you....
TOSHIBA Satellite M300 - S411!!!

My lappie!
(note that different colours represents different models... not the same model with different colours)

So.. to be more specific. THIS is my lappie.

and this is the specs... far better that i expected.
I am very happy n contented.

over the past few days, i got to know my lappie more.

So my views are....
Pros:

stylish
glossy finish, so dirt will not stick easily, unlike inspirons.
extrely good heat dissipation, i dun think i will ever need a cooler
Harman kardon speakers damn chun!
i dun have to worry about graphics. this lappy can handle anything(so far).
250gb shock absorber SATA hard disk. designed for clumsy ppl like me.
touch pad for music control, so paint will not be scratched off easily every time i push for nxt song like jg's
i like it n thats all that reali matters.hahaha

Cons:

weak battery life. i juz bought n the batt can only last me 2 hrs max
cannot do the "aero" function like joel's n hui mei's and wen pings.
i like it n thats all that reali matters.hahaha

A story to remember

2009-04-05T08:40:00.000-07:00

yes, agree with jun guan.... i shall steal his idea n put it here too... hahaha!

it may seem meaningless by juz reading this simple biography...
but when u SEE for urself who is he TODAY then it will reali mean something.
The things he does n how he does it.

before it is deleted together with the EEE 1103 group, let it be immortalised here.

"Many students are facing difficulty in applying theories into
practical work.

My experience is rather different from many lecturers. I started
working as a technician when I was 20 years old. My "laboratory" was
at the production floor. I trained myself to apply theories by working
backwards. When I see a practical result or symptom, I'll ask myself
why that happen? I'll start searching for the answer through reading
articles which were relevant. Many called this the "top-down
approach". Years after years of self-training, I eventually picked up
the skill. I believe I'm not a high-IQ person but I definitely have
passion for electronics - I see them as toys.

I believe many students are learning the basics from books - but
engineering is not just about learning from books. Reference books are
very ideal, I called them the "wallpaper" - they simply look nice on
the monitor screen, you don't really get the same when you are dealing
with the real stuff. Reading a lot will surely enhance your knowledge,
but you need the WISDOM to apply the correct knowledge at the correct
place. Sometimes you might even need to trial and error to gain the
wisdom. Too bad there are no short-cuts to this.

Do projects, troubleshoot projects that do not work, read magazines
related to electronics, visit forums in the web that discuss on these
topics, join the discussion - make all these your hobby. Don't treat
them as your duty or as a task for examination, if you do then you'll
never excel from what you are pursuing. "

Kind regards,
TW Chan.

i may forget the theories you taught but never the skill and the values.

Dead Tired...

2009-04-03T06:13:00.000-07:00

the past week was probably one of the busiest i have been in years....

after Inti changed it's grading method to 60% coursework and 40% final test, (previously it was 40% coursework and 60% finals)assignments begin to REALI matter... we need atleast 50% to pass....

But its time like this u can reali see who your real frens are... u can see who are those willing to stop and lend you a hand and those who will juz rush towards their own destination stepping over ur head while you're in need.

Money is not the root of all evil.... its selfishness. (Learnt that from wen ping's cupboard.haha!)

Other than that, u can also witness the potential unleashed in you! its like when a snake corners a mouse, the mouse may just be the 1st to bite. This week taught me a lot on determination and superhuman characteristics. muz learn how to manage my Ulti. Every "Pencak Sulit" has their price to pay.... we can notice the hidden talent in everyone during that time. the little skills that require tremendous stress to activate. Everyone has their own. if u havent found it, u havent got enough stress...

now, special tribute to those who made the relaxation oscilloscope and 24/25 come true.

the project in experimental stage.

Teh Wen Ping (Master Circuit Constructor) - there wont be any circuit to begin without him.we'll only have pieces of paper as our circuits
Lee Jun Guan (Pro troubleshooter with auto-correct function) - we'll end up thinking too much, going too far and ultimately "sesat" if he doesnt drag u back to reality.
Joel Lim (Finance and Material Department and Soldering Factory) - how else can we get components at extra discounts anytime we need it. seriously, ANYTIME we need it.and if human hands cannot solder, send it to the "factory" to be done.
Hui Mei(Main Schedule planner and Time Management) - face it. if it wasnt for her, all of us wont be in the project lab doing our project in the 1st place.

My Circuit!

i'm juz glad it over.... now i can finally sleep in peace and concentrate more on finals which is in 2 weeks..... lets hope i can make it thru this semester as well....

too tired to write anything else.... n there wont be any updates for a while too... goodnite!

Of pools, finger and Fighting Cancer.

2009-03-15T01:06:00.000-07:00

combo post again... i realise i dun reali have much to blog nowadays. or is it that i'm too lazy n rather waste my time elsewhere... anyway, i write stuff here that i wan to remember n forbid myself to forget.

Story 1
went to mx's apartment. a cozy place with a reali reali nice view.

was 2 hours late because of my car. my weird car needs to be sent to the hospital.
by the time we decided to use the wira instead, it was nearly 5 and jg has to be back by 6...
decided to take him back first. upon fetching him home, i was in a split decision whether to go or not to go.... heck, i was never good in making decision. the question of the day was "To Go or Not To Go".

as i turn into my housing area, i suddenly felt guilty of "pang poay kii" and decided to go...
drove all the way to Ping's house juz to remember that i was suppose to go to mx's place. gosh, i hate my sense of direction. Reached there safe and sound with my mum's wira only to be thrown into the pool for being late.

and thats where story 2 begins....

Story 2
after being pushed into the pool. i tried to drag the person who pushed me down together. being unable to reach her, i pulled the reclining chair she was sitting on and somehow or rather the the reclining chair's upper portion adjusted and "kepit" her finger. nobody realise except sp... it was super scary...

her finger literally got flattened and a slight dent can be seen.... me, being the one who caused the whole incident, drove her to the nearest and only hospital in bayam baru, Hospital Pantai Mutiara. n yes, i was still soaking wet that time.

admitted her to the hospital. gone thru some check ups and took an X-ray. It turned out that her finger was reali flattened. if she was a guy, the finger would probably had been fractured. But since she has girly hands, the bone was merely compressed, not broken. But from wat i saw, it was freaking painful.

Felt reali reali reali reali reali reali reali reali reali reali guilty....

searched my wira for an extra clothes n found the black INTI shirt still neatly packed in it plastic casing which i manage to grab when registering in inti early this year(thanks Jt, if it weren't for u, i'll either have to go shirtless or soaking wet.) and i also found a pair of pants which i thought was lost. i cant remember when or why i had it there. but nevertheless it was dry.

had to swipe my mum's credit card to pay for the hospital's enormous, blood-sucking, overly priced bill... i thought the least i could do was pay for the hospital bill. but turned out that hm's mum is not a women u can bargain with easily. i tried to be responsible for my actions but her hokkien was juz no match for mine. Unwillingly, i was reimbursed.

But now each time i look at it, i can feel the eternal guilt. when u can see that the victim is feeling the pain while the person who caused it is happily minding his own business. No, i am not that kinda guy. i simply cannot go around acting like nothing ever happened.

Anyway, after things get stable, we head back to mx's apartment.

haizzzz.... these few weeks are reali not my day. its bad incidents one after another. sometimes i still think back to the moment i was wondering if i should go in the 1st place. if i had juz turn into my house n sleep, none of this will happen. But then again, what is done is already done and cannot be undone. we can just move forward.

moving on....

Story 3
this happened yesterday, went to youth park for the "Relay For Life Campaign"... they were collecting funds for those who are fighting cancer(i think). mx and sp was participating, so we (me,omar,wp,hm,joel) tagged along.

One of the things i learnt was helium gas can reali make u sound like a chipmunk... i thought it only works in cartoons but this time i saw it right before my very eyes. and i even experienced it 1st hand!! n yes, i do sound like a chipmunk!!! Ian showed me that. haven't seen him in awhile. hahaha. he didnt change one bit.

I enjoyed the day very much but was actually quite exhausted from the day before. but, i leave no regrets and contented on how it went by.

Test and assignments deadline is reaching.... Exam is in about 4 weeks... i can reali feel the pressure now... i need to spend more time with books.

till nxt time, i'm starting to feel sleepy again. bye.

Tobey And Me...

2009-03-06T19:58:00.000-08:00

Went for a movie on Thursday...
atleast something for the hell i have been going thru recently...

anyway, watched Marley and Me,
a tale about a family. From husband, wife and dog to father, mother, children and dog....
not a bad movie... quite touching... watch for urself to know.

n saw ching and the gang there as well... never expected to see them. n when i see them again, i remember of the RC times. why didnt i go back form 6? and of course, again i felt so small compared to them.

anyway, my story starts only after the movie....
u know the time when after u watch a movie u feel like part of ur life after that resembles the movie?
something like how leo nard can jump off a bike moving at around 60km/hr after he watched spiderman III.

yes, my dog suddenly became 80% like marley(except for the chewing part).
It refuses to let me do anything else but sit beside him....

"how?", u may ask.

if i do anything else(computer, TV, etc....), it will bark non stop and wake everyone up including the neighbours. But if i juz sit in beside it then it'll keep quiet. its better to have 1 person not sleeping than for everyone in the neighbourhood to be not sleeping.

and so.... i sat there. beside my dog for nearly 2-3 hours.... that was the day before yesterday.

and as for today, my aunt(the main person taking care of the dog) is going to Genting Highlands, surely there will be more "Tobey and Me".

okay, i can hear my dog howling for lunch....
cdb....

better.

2009-03-01T21:26:00.000-08:00

Last nite for no apparent reason i dreamt that i had long hair....
in my dream, i woke up, saw the mirror n on it is a reflection of me with long hair....

with long straight silky sunsilk-advertisement-material hair.....

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"

i woke up shortly after that.

anyway, i guess wat i'm trying to say is i'm getting better.... more of the old me is coming back.

well, till nxt time.

p/s : most people wont understand this post. but i think some will.

A Sad Day

2009-02-24T04:09:00.001-08:00

waa...
something big happened today.... and i have limited time to blog about it....

so, to make the long story short.... i'll summarise it n let u guys fill up the spaces so that it will sound grammatically correct....

go college - test circuit - finally can work! - happy - wanted resolder my variable resistor - someone said her soldering iron cannot be used anymore - plug in - wanted to measure the voltage across the neutral n life wire - BLUE SPARKS BURST OUT and was 5 mm from my face- all panicked - multimeter probe's tip melted - tripped the whole "cyber circle" - FRIED 3 COMPUTERS.

i should take full responsibility of my actions. For the 2 guys who somehow or rather got dragged in along with me, i'm truly sorry... i was the main culprit... but 3 computers is really out of my capability to cover...

today is a very very very very very very very very very depressing day...

tomorrow u may hear of 1 DEE engineering student (instead of a girl) wan jump down from inti 7th floor.

A Story of a multimeter

2009-01-23T22:26:00.000-08:00

*WARNING!!
TOTALLY ABSTRACT POST AHEAD. 'BACK' ICON IS ON THE LEFT TOP.*

Once upon a time, there was a analog multimeter.
it was a relatively important instrument to those who knows how to use them.

it measures current to make sure a circuit is safe.

it measures voltage to make sure a circuit is able to power up.

it measures resistance to make sure u have a matching impedance.

its role is simple,
all it does is measure n tell the reading...
usable and fairly accurate.....

after a few years later, a digital multimeter came into the market.

suddenly usability became no longer a factor.
people wants user-friendly effortless digital interfaces instead of needle pointing.
people wants soft buttons instead of pure knobs.
people wants light-weighted instead of solidly armored casing.
people wants small n portable rather than powerful.

so what becomes of the analog multimeter???

will anyone realise the absence of it?

Huh?? Flirtatious??

2009-01-23T02:53:00.000-08:00

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

.

You are a true romantic??
You like to flirt and behave seductively??
You are full of energy and confidence????

I dint run out of qualities to learn from but colours to put them in....

All in All, these are things n qualities that i want in me in year 2009.
I already have role models to learn from... all i need is to practise them.
i'll add to the list if i can think of anymore qualities to learn from people or find more colours....

so far 2009 started off with GREAT news n also DEPRESSING news....
nvm..... COME WAT MAY!!!
God will not give me anything i cannot handle.

The Major H Misunderstanding.

2009-01-13T05:31:00.000-08:00

wah.....

i have some things to clarify...

I am still single n NOT available.
I do not go around spreading rumours about myself having relationships.
I am not that famous in INTI n neither will any of my stories be.
In this present time and age, I am not interested in having any bf/gf relationships.
And no, I walk a straight road. I'm not gay.
I don't care whose fault is it or how it started but if it caused someone to cry then it has to be settled.
My trust in Chia Haw has reduced tremendously.
I could murder Chia Haw/Jason Siew/whosoever that keep adding petrol into the fire.
Chia haw owes me lunch , a smack and my parang.
I'm sick and the extra stress is not helping.
I forgive Chia Haw n I'm not holding any grudges.
I am not as angry as I sound.

I have settled this little misunderstanding n i do not want such things to happen again.
Did i make that clear enough?? IT'S SETTLED!!
Actually, its already settled a long time ago.... juz been dug up and aggravated by certain people.

Chia Haw, take note. i dont care if u n ur class wants to be gossip & drama kings queens or watever. Juz dont drag me along.

i shall end the post with a hokkien saying (try reading out load if u dont get it) :

" La si bo su, mai ki choi su chuu lai !"
(if there isn't any problem , dont simply dig out one!)

2008

2008-12-30T02:42:00.000-08:00

one hell of a year it has been for me....
the 1st year ever out of school life into college life
the 1st year ever going through working life(my dad's life)
the 1st year ever i can actually talk to girls without feeling uncomfortable

guess which is mine? guess guess!
*hint* its blue n i'm particular with my parking.

(jun guan did that if u muz know)

quite a big leap for me though.....

went through a lot of things....
experience a lot of things....
and learnt a lot of things....

met alot of new friends.....
got to know more about ppl that i already know.....
got in into a totally new environment....

what a year its has been........

In The BEGINNING.

from the start of the year i was under BC Pest Technologies.
Thats my father's own company. i worked for my dad.
to be truthful.... i used to be a little embarrassed when ppl ask wat my dad does for a living.
He does Pest Control.
he deals with all sorts of pest.... from termites to animal control.
basically he handles all the dirty stuff normal ppl wouldn't want to handle.
all the messy jobs...

like when u have a dead rat in ur house, he's the man ppl would call.....
like when u have a cockroach problem, he's the man ppl would call.....

[if u DO have this problems like this, pls contact 016-4228995, special discounts will be given to marcuslim's frens. hehe]

and that man happen to be my father..... at one time i actually sort off looked down at my own dad.....

"Eeyeer! He does THAT?!?"

but after the few months i went thru with him..... BOY! am i proud to have a father like him.....
its reali shows how much a father would go through to support his family.....

u think its easy LOCATING a dead rat?
when the very second u open the door to the room with a dead rat, u would wish u were as dead as the rat.... the awful smell alone is able to knock anyone unconscious..... we're talking about an enclosed area... where the smell has been contained for a quite a while....

But this Man has to walk straight in.... take a breath IN THE ROOM.... and find the source of the smell.... which will ultimately lead us to the carcass.... i have yet to master that skill.... i juz cant.

locating is juz the start.... and then disposal? its not a very decent experience....

actually these few months with him was very crucial in our father n son relationship...... i can now proudly say that this Man over here is my dad n this is wat WE DO!
learnt SOOOOO much from him....

and i also did SOOOOO many things i never thought of doing(nicer told by mouth + actions)...... all the odd odd jobs.... i definitely enjoyed my time working under my dad....

P/S : if i'm not mistaken, my dad went to Cheng Yee's house to spray insecticide before....
hahaha... realise it after she told me where she lived. i think its her. should be... correct me if i'm wrong.

sorry not much pics... i dun think of taking pictures when i'm working my ass off....

anyway... moving on

In The MIDDLE

after BC pest was college... enrolled in Inti n was quite happy with it.
i already blog about it a couple of times so i wont reali go deep into it again.
i'll juz highlight crucial parts.

met a lot wonderful people here in Inti
They made it a nice place
i enjoyed my time here

sometimes it was monotonous and routine but sometimes its also quite fun.

HAHA! 1 thing i was quite proud of, my Hokkien went on geometric progression since i joined.
basically in a class of nearly 70 people. only 10 speak English on a daily basis.
i thought i was going to be like those lone rangers at the corner minding their own business but no....
i'm not that kind of person.. i'll die like that.....

the tough times we been through
(as usual wen ping is always the saddest. HAHA)

well, when English dun go well with them n Mandarin dont go well with me.
Hokkien came into the picture! of course, i still had difficulties but at least there's progress....
(better than learning mandarin from scratch)
n to think that once upon a time Hokkien the ONLY language i know.
all in all, i can now speak Hokkien with an English dialect.
Inti Certified.

The happy times we had.

(to return all the pain we caused him... Thx Ping!)

went through 2 semesters of Diploma in Electric and Electronics.
got a Certificate of Merit for one of them. (who would have thought?)

successfully OVERNIGHT-ed at college.
was doing the bluudy project that can make ur whole house blackout.

In The END.

when i got suited with the environment, i begin to get more sloppy.
i no longer pay much attention in class nor do much (or any) homework....
i get interested very quickly but also loses interest juz as easily.... that's bad.
i begin to let joel do my assignments... haha! thanks man. n sorry.
Joel, slap me if i ever do that again!
didnt have enough semangat in the 2nd semester.

had 2 months holidays at the end of the year......
i cant reali remember wat i did.... basically achieved nothing....
i juz remember going out n eat a lot... movie here there... n jogging n hiking n the unfortunate sunrise sunset.
but 1 thing i shall remember for life in this holidays.....

dislocation #2.....

mistakes done....
lessons learnt....
hearts broken....
attitude fixed....
minds go insane....
brains filled knowledge...
arm gotten weaker...
mouth gotten louder...
glasses get thicker....
panda eyes get wider...
course gets tougher....
frens get closer...

all the things that i have done... some with regrets n some with pride n honour.....
lets just say if things get "torn", we can always "sew" it back.
it will definitely leave a mark.... a mark we will all remember... and makes us all a step closer to being a man(or woman/lady/whatsoever).
for the good or for the worst.... i'm glad it happened the way it did.

2008 was a great year.... i'm looking forward to 2009...

Physically Capable!

2008-12-29T23:40:00.000-08:00

went to the hospital for a check up for me arm......
its been nearly 3 weeks after the injury and has shown much improvement ever since!
(like how i can type this post with both hands...)

have to wake up super early.... its been soo sooooo long ever since i had to wake up at 6.30am....
reminded me of school..... wake up, breakfast, too late to catch the bus, bath, go school by bike.....
that was my school-life daily routine....

we went to the hospital at about 7.30am....

normal procedure..... go get an x-ray.... then waited for so long only to realise that my x-ray was already at the counter but noone to collect.... we waited at the wrong place..... anyway, at the end got the film.... was happy with wat i see.... from my amateurish skill on reading x-rays, i can tell that its connected juz alright..... happily i went to give the films to the doctor-in-charge then he did some test (eg: can u lift ur arm like this? can u reach ur back?...... etc)

later on, my mum came out with this question.......

"Can he drive?"

in my head, i was recalling the time when i told my mum that i wanna drive and she gave me a long lecture... u noe la... mums.... i dun blame her.... it went roughly like this....

"u will sure lose control of the car wan la.... ur right hand so weak now.... u noe ah, when ur auntie dislocated her shoulder, the doctor say she needs to wait about 6 months untill she can drive again..."

n the nxt thought that went thru my head was... doctors... they will try to take as minimal risk as possible.... so i was actually expecting to wait about a month or so before i can drive again.... but he changed my point of view....

he said(roughly):

"its been about 3 weeks right? so basically most of the tissues have already been repalced by new ones.... driving shouldn't be a problem..... more over, the cars now have power steering, right? so it should be ok.... u dun reali use much of the shoulder to drive.... as for now, he is physically capable of driving a car. "

that last sentence totally change my perception of this doctor..... wah! thank you!

after everything was over, i was dismiss and i dont need a second visit.... the last time i had about 3 visits if i'm not mistaken.... now, only 1 to check up.... i guess the more times u displocate it the faster it heals n the less it will hurt... until to the point where...

"[piak!] oh, my arm come out d ah?.... [crack-kiak!] ok... back to normal..."

i wouldn't want to go to that stage.... i know i fella like that.... n its scary....

before i left the room, the doctor tapped my shoulder.....

"u do realise that by simply lifting ur arm u're actually USING ur shoulder right... how about driving? but it looks like u could handle it.... but u be careful ya"

wat a nice doctor, i'll never forget u, Dr. Wong!

brainwashed by chia haw.....

2008-12-21T06:04:00.000-08:00

i was talking to chia haw as usual on msn.....
then he came out with random question.....

Sun in SAGITTARIUS - ruled by Jupiter - Planet of Expansion

To you, life is a journey, an adventure, endlessly interesting and rich with possibilities, and it may be difficult for you to decide where to focus your attention and efforts. You probably traveled around and experimented with many different paths before you settled on a particular career. Or you may go from one project to the next, for once the challenge and vital interest is gone, you are very quick to move on. Commitment, discipline, focus, and concentration are not your strong points. You can be irresponsible and disinclined to take on the burdens and limitations of adult life.

An incurable optimist, you have big dreams, aspirations, and hopes for the future and are usually pursuing some distant goal. You have a great deal of faith and trust in life and failures don't crush your spirit. You always bounce back from disappointments, often with another bright dream or scheme. You have a sporting, playful attitude toward life and are philosophical about your mistakes. You have the ability to sense future trends, to see the big picture, and you like to theorize and speculate. However, attending to all of the details and practical requirements of implementing your theories is bothersome to you.

You express yourself in a very open, direct, and straightforward manner and are often blunt and tactless as well. Because you do not take yourself too seriously, you may not realize how deeply your candid statements can wound more sensitive souls. In fact, though you may not realize it, your insensitivity and lack of understanding regarding others' feelings is probably one of your worst faults.

You do enjoy friendship and camaraderie, but you need freedom also and do not do well with a possessive, clinging, or emotionally demanding partner. You are quite generous yourself, and heartily dislike pettiness in others. Someone who shares your ideals, your sense of fun, and your zest for life would be the right companion for you.

Ch : since when u so interested this things wan?

me : since 5 mins ago...... 1st time i'm reading it with such detail...

but... cannot le.... lidat everyone born around me ma act like me??? nooo.. this cannot beeee......

For those interested u may go to this website and find ur own.... juz click the little icon on the left then look for the "More Personality Profile..." at the end of your short description for the longer one....

p/s: the above convo was edited to make things shorter n straight to the point... all digressed topics has been filtered out.... n chia haw, the convo might be different a bit cuz i retyped it based on my memory.... so there might be slight errors.. correct me if wrong.

i'll end the post with an inspiring pic of my state now.....

can lift 90 degrees up d..... YAY!!!

Till nxt time....

its a yearly event.....

2008-12-14T07:09:00.000-08:00

Now, i have some things to clarify.......
i keep hearing ppl saying "typical marcus" when they found out i dislocated my shoulder....
there is also...
"marcus, as usual....."
"marcus, y u everytime get injurd wan?"
"marcus, y u so unlucky wan?"
"marcus, y ur shoulder always come out wan?"
"marcus, injurd again ah?"
"marcus, you're like a magnet for injuries.?"

(fall down on knees with arm raised shouting"WHYYY??"......)
its only TWICE in my whole entire life i dislocated my arm?
is that considered frequent to u guys?
n besides.... its rather the after-effects of the 1st dislocation....

the way u ppl put it makes me feel like i go to n fro to the hospital every week....

no.... i'm not melmen who needs medical attention all the time.... NO! i'm not like him...

ok i'll now try to list down my major injuries which u all say "always" happen to me....

2006
1st dislocation........

be reminded that before this i NEVER had an injury serious enuf to be delivered to the hospital.....

2007
6 stitches to my chin.....

a very unfortunate fall from my bike.....
yes, my fault..... i have to admit....

2008
2nd dislocation.....

which is basically the most recent....

there u have it.....
ALL the major injuries i got that u ppl say "SOO MANYY"
since 2006 things start happening yearly.....
once a year..... yea.. maybe more often than the most of u.
but still not enought to be made "marcus the injury prone guy....."

if u call that frequent then....
u might as well call Christmas frequent... since its also once a year....
oh yea! ur birthday is also very frequent....

"your birthday again arr??"
"y u so frequent celebrate ur birthday wan?"
"y always ur birthday wan??"

TAKE THAT!!!!!
no more.................

Grounded.... for life....?

2008-12-11T23:46:00.000-08:00

haizzz... i actually still have quite a hard time accepting this second dislocation....
the dislocation this time is affecting me more mentally then physically....

there was....
no bang...
no crash....
no warning....

i swung my arm and my shoulder juz had to swing out together.....
i mean this is soo sad.......
after that??
no sports for the rest of my life?
what sport can be less exerting than badminton??
there's juz shuttle cocks for goodness SAKE!!!!
n now i cant even hit them.....

well.... i dont think I'm ready to give up sports so soon.... even if thats wat my mum had in mind....
i'm switching to a lefty.... hope i wont be too useless.....
gotta start practicing from scratch again.....

n so its decided!
i'll play badminton wif my left.
i'll play bowling wif my left.
and i'll probably forget about basketball or other rough sports....
start with this few sports 1st....

muz slowly pick up again.......
worry not... as long i still have at least AN ARM and my name is still marcus lim...
i will still live on.....
but for now i guess i will be at home and away from outdoor activities....
hopefully still can go starwalk....
"y cannot?" u ask? my mum forbids.... its not that i walk with my hands....

i'll end this post wif a nice saying that i got from Wall-E
"I dont want to just survive..... I WANT TO LIVE!!!"

here i am... once again...

2008-12-09T19:12:00.001-08:00

dislocated shoulder.... again.....

my dad modified a few of the patent systems.

Me : eh, how could u have thought of that?? this is absurd! but.... it works....
dad : ....and that is all that matters, right?
Me : i guess so.....
dad : n u noe when i thought of this? When I WAS BRUSHING MY TEETH IN THE TOILET

i think i heard that before...... its like...... dejavu.....
for those who knew me in college would understand.... ahahaha!!

p/s: for those who doesnt understand but curious to know..... read my post on September 19th, Friday[it has been awhile...]

Movie, Movie, IUC

2008-12-04T04:36:00.000-08:00

Recently went for movies in queens....
2 different movies together wif....
2 different groups in......
2 different time on.... the same day.....

MOVIE #1
1st we watch Madagascar 2.... ok la... some parts quite funny.... but somehow i prefer the 1st one....
went to fetch easaw at school and head to queens..... met up wif the RC gang short while later...

actually, i already watched Madagascar 2 with Joel and all but then i decided to watch it again....
I wanted to justify something...
someone came out with this totally random remark that melman somehow resembles me!!!

how???? reali???? i'm totally against the idea....

anyway, watched the movie, jalan here there... then go back home...
after that, watched 2 episodes of Heroes(i'm currently in season 2) and depart for queensbay again.....

MOVIE #2

for the 2nd movie i watched Quarantine...

exactly like cloverfield la......
videocam-type-movie.....
not that nice.... some parts of the movie they do like this it'll be nice, but if the whole movie was made like that.... it gets... dizzy....
i dun quite like the ending.....
to me the whole movie is juz about this group of ppl stuck in a building n then all died....
nothing unpredictable in the movie.... no big twist.... hardly anything to compliment about it...
well, i did learn a few things though.....

-there is no cure for rabies
-only way to reali identify rabies is by getting a brain sample n not by blood test
-death rates for rabies is 100%
-and last but not least, cam-cordes can wack rabies-infected-zombies to death

after the movie, went to kayu nasi kandar n fet ourselves with roti bom, teh ais and roti tissue....
talk talk talk.....
went home after that......

IUC 2008
visit our school Unit 25 Red Crescent Society...
havent had a nice chat wif the jrs for a very long time....

i was pretty amazed by the teamtest scene...
a whole class (2 Baiduri) was flooded!
as in soaking wet with water!
the water raised up till about 2 inches from the ground....
not bad.... didnt expect they would do it....
i noe nobody else like it but i reali do....
water is nice as long as i cant drown in it....
a meaningful teamtest.... need to carry with all the water....

went lunch at SubWay.... not bad but cost a bunch.... n to be honest... wasnt that full from it either... mayb i should have had the footlong size.... that one scared later i cannot finish....
fetch ching all in my car..... 4 ppl cramped at the back.....
n they suddenly reminded me about the japanese thing.............
i had completely forgotten about that...... well, no comment on that.....
i wont go into it now.... family issue.... all i can say that its not me....
believe as u wish.....

went back safely and got persuaded by chia haw to go to a cyber cafe.....
played CS for like 3 hours..... 3 solid hours.... walau...
fun... n yea... tiring too.... fingers on my left hand very "suei" now....

later return to school.... talk for awhile more... then headed home shortly after that....

Mum complained about my hair.... n ching says it looks like dexter's.....
i'm SOO going to cut it soon..... normally dun care about my hair much as long as they're there....but now its getting a bit irritating n itchy here there... CUT!

Of Birthdays, Weddings and diarrhea

2008-11-26T01:32:00.000-08:00

My birthday juz passed....
nothing big... nice and simple... juz the way i like it.....
went badminton wif frens.....
some said it isnt very "birthday-ish" to go badminton-ing on ur 18th birthday....
but, who cares.... i like it... n theres all there is to it!

well, actually the badminton thingy was pretty screwed up too....
juz the day before, Eiven came out with this random idea of going badminton....
I simply agreed to it....
Told Jun Guan, our ambassador to Permata Sports Complex.... he booked the court and gauranteed us a spot the day after at about 1-3pm....
later on some complications came up and the time was shifted to 3-5pm...
i forecasted 7-8 ppl to come....

on the day itself we went there on time, got our court n started playing....
after that slowly one by one start poping in...
5,6,7,8,9....... 14 ppl came!
n we only booked 1 court......
so the all of us have to share....

14 ppl, 1 court.....
pretty screwed up... already get my portion of nagging....
but it was quite fun too....the more the merrier rite?
at the end of the match, devided the cost among 14 ppl....
each has to pay RM0.75.....

oh yea.... n i also realise ppl share the same birthday as me....
so far i think its 2 girls n 1 guy.... i'm the one guy.... nvm that...

2 DAYS LATER...

Wedding of Gerry and Adeline

2 days after that was the wedding of my causin!!

This is the 1st time a relative of mine is getting married!! the 1st time i'm seeing the process of marriage... well mayb not all.... juz more than i usually see...(juz between us but for all the times before i only go to weddings for the food....) but this time is different! so much more different..... i was actually helping out there! i was at the counter-like thing where ppl check-in to get their table numbers....

i'll be like....

"Xcuse me, lu eh mia si harmeek?"
"[name of the fella]eg: Ah chong"
"ok, lu si che Table 26, the table on the right side of the ballroom.Enjoy (english came out of no where.. dun ask y!)

from there the cycle continues.....from one person after another.... it was quite an experience....

There was also the traditional tea serving ceremony!
n guess what?? its held at MY HOUSE!! hehehe.. my grandma here.... muz go serve her tea...
does that explain the baloons infront of my house...?
Bride n bridegroom coming to visit ma..... muz decorate sikit la.....

Tea serving session

A nice couple... perfect for each other....
May they live happily ever after....

after that went Gurney Hotel for makan.... while eating, they put on a few slideshows of the newly-weds when they were young.... they were like together since secondary school!! same school that time.... OMG! i never thought relationship that time can ever work out... they proved me wrong.... waa... felt a bit envious.... but nvm....

After that i start to replace the bride and the bridegroom wif ppl that i know! It was quite fun at 1st.... imagining them upstage... cutting cake... pouring champaign on those glasses arrangged like a pyramid ...
AHAHAHA!! but after a while it gets scarys.... i'm afraid of my own imagination n so i stop... the day ends well and we all head back home....

2 DAYS LATER

I got diarrhoea...... waahh... too many good food at one time..... but atleast i had my fun....
N easaw.... sorry la.... that day.... no energy

Box Hunting

2008-11-13T05:09:00.000-08:00

i'm currently looking for a box...
yes.... a box.....
nope... not juz any kind of box....
a box to put my things in.... my tools to be exact....
i wanna place all my engineering stuff in it.....
It'll be like The MarcusLim-Handy-Dandy-EngineeringBox!!!

from my soldering kit to all the different components that i'm going to store......
yes... they shall be in my engineering box..... fully equipped with everything may ever i need........
so the 1st step to owning my very own everything-oso-got-toolbox, i need the BOX itself!!

ok.... my ideal box should be big but not too big.....

i dont want to be dragging this to college everyday...

it has to be unique.... i dont want the same box like the one EVERYONE got from Tesco.... not that i wanna be special or anything but... the clip in the middle is not strong... so it wont last....things will juz fall out easily and i definitely dun want that to happen.....
That and to avoid bringing back a box from college and when i open it.....

"EHH!! THIS ISN'T MY BOX!!"

The TOOLBOX has to be unique, strong and durable!

this is an ancient Japanese puzzle box.... strong durable and can definitely last more than 100 years(has a secret compartment too),
but how am i going to put in my components???
i will definitely have lotsa lotsa components....

when i say components, i meant discreet components.....
and when i say discreet components, i meant small components such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, etc....

yes.. i need to keep them separately so they wont get mixed up n i wont have a hard time finding them when i need them...

something like this.....

but if juz get a box like that........
then how about my big tools like...... pliers, cutters, soldering iron, etc......?
they cant fit.....

erm.. it could work out if i had 2 BOXES......
one big one for the tools
and one small one for the components.....
should this work???

but i wan my ideal ENGINEERING BOX...... which can have everything in ONE!!
there wont be "oh, i dunno where i put my box no.2!!"

later, i found one which looked like this....
it has the big box at the bottom and a place to put my small components on the top.....
but i would prefer one wif more separation so i can put more different components in it....
ITS PERFECT!!!!
JUZ WHAT I WANTED!
but...... but its so perfect that i can only find it at Google..... i cant find any in Penang......

so.. if u can spot anywhere i can get this kinda box....
do tell me.....

.

.

.

.

.

Or..... or......

or should i MAKE MY OWN????? i'm capable of it..... n i have 2 months free.....

hehehehe............
till nxt time!

The sun rises and then sets.... and rises again...

2008-11-10T22:12:00.000-08:00

hey... i'm blogging again.....
well... i guess things are getting better each day! thats a good thing!
my holidays now feel like holidays.... hahaha....
juz like how mushroom soup suppose to taste like mushroom.....

before this, i reali had a though time getting thru each day....
i feel imprisoned by the gates of my house n chained to my computer screen.....
thats where i would be all day n not to mention all night....
i'll probably watch all the movies eric gave me in my hdd and by the end of my 2 months holidays, i'll be wearing glasses with lens the thickness of those found in telescopes....

but hey!.... things didnt go that way....
i have reali reali nice frens that will know how boring u r at home... n so we had a few outings.....
first there was the typical "go out for movie" outings, then there was the "go out jogging" outings, which then leads to "go out for badminton" outings..... and many many more.....

woah... these ppl are amazing.....
they sure know how to turn the frown upside down, pockets inside out(yes, i'm already overspending) and get ur energy bar from high to super low....
but nevertheless, i would gladly give away these petty ammount for the excitement, experience and well.. a life.... a smile on my face..... and for the stomach growling for hunger....
Thanks guys!

lets see... what have i done so far.....
directly after exam we rushed down and played pool abit...
there was the...
the normal one on one showdown with joel n toh....
the unpredictable match between me and wen ping which took more nearly an hour to complete... ahaha!
After that left for queensbay!
i'll juz highlight the interesting parts.
T left us to watch HSM3 and spends his remaining time wif HJ
C nearly shocked to death after seeing "something"
G sighing over his vibration almost endlessly
J expressed his worries
P had his arm CLAWED
HM had a few screams, laughs and got to know us better
M watched his most hilarious horror movie

Had badminton with all the old n current free...... only 1 word to describe it.....

OUCH!
[for those who cannot see its a bruise on my chest caused by a shuttlecock smashed by Toh.... gai lo him.....]
but nvm.... shuttlecocks are not enough to kill me....

form this part on.....
FAST FORWARD >>>>>> FAST FORWARD >>>>>>>>> FAST FORWARD
(i actually wanted to write from 1st even to last even but i'm lazy so i'll juz start wif the 1st n end wif the last.... or the most recent[dun say last].....)

THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY
Chiao invited me for some party at edwards house.....
i got to meet the legendary Honey......
i havent met anyone that scared of me....
n yes i was offended btw....
but nvm.... i forgive u....
we had quite a night..... pizza, carbonated drinks, twistis,black-pepper chicken, mamee n NO i did not eat the wedges...
played murderer, tai ti, harry potter uno and bluff!
after that we went cc....
oung teach me play dota.... i suc terribly at it but i still enjoy playing it....
after that played cs till like 6sumthing AM.....

hooi wiping the mess he created.... i'll say no more....

YESTERDAY
we recently decided to go see the Sunrise and Sunset....

when we expect to see this....

we saw nothing becuz it was raining and we were at the "wrong" side of the island....
After that we decided to go jogging and then dim sum.... n for some reason, all of us couldnt eat much.... anyway.. we gone back home for lunch and nap....

after that go hiking again.... BJ hill hike no.2.... to catch the sunset.......

we were expecting to see this!

but at the end, we cannot see much cuz bj hill there too many trees covering the sunset area..... but the sunrise area is nicely cleared though.....

anyway.... although we didnt watch the sunset nor the sunrise.....however, we had fun... n thats all that matters i guess....

we enter each phase n exit each phase without reali seeing the start or the end....
juz like how we missed each sunrise but know its already past daybreak......

well.... there's always 2morrow......

Everything seems too perfect

2008-11-01T23:20:00.000-07:00

For those who cannot stand rantings, the "back" icon is juz at the left top.

Exams..... are over.....
I have 2 months to do watever i want.....
no vacation or watsoever plan..... so i'll be here to do watever i like... for 2 whole months....

I.... I.... dunno wat to say.......
I somehow DONT feel like i'm in "Holidays" now....
Yes, yes.... call me an ungrateful brat....
I dont know.... i juz dont feel.... free? is that the right word?

For some unknown reason i feel so tied down.....
i have everything now!!! Basically everything i need!!
if i want to go out, i can basically go out anytime i like....
I have SparkiE 24/7(i juz need to be back by nightfall, cannot ride at night)
I got back my PS2 WITH GAMES this time thanks to Kelvin.
I have frends like Oung, Ping and Chiao, who has apartment facility that i can intrude....

But still i feel so chained.....
I cant even sleep..... wait, i can sleep.... but keep waking up feeling like someone is going to kill me! waking up with this impending doom.... (impending doom....a recognition of heart attack.haha.argh. not even in the mood for lame first aider jokes... ) it wasnt a nightmare that scares me.... more of reality that is scaring me in my dreams....

Paranoid mode auto-ON....

Everythings seems too perfect now.....

I dont know wats wrong... i juz know something is....

2008-09-27T23:26:00.000-07:00

ok.... the last out-of-normal-thing that happened was badminton at N-Park......

This is my part of the story on how it suddenly became a trip.....

was discussing about wat to do for lab..... all of us had no idea... absolutely no idea wat to do......
For the 1st time in my whole entire INTi life...... i received a praise (or rather not a negative remark) from Mr. Chan.... he said my group was the closes to the answer..... so i put in a lot of thought in to my little lab work.....

n yes...by time, great effort and countless teethbrushing sessions..... i figured it out...... i figured the concept out.....
but i made a bluudy mistake right at the end...... 5% of 5 became 4.5(correct answer is 4.75)......
For that very reason.... my calculations got screwed..... damn sad..... n yes... i only realise that AFTER my assessment..... i reali felt bad that time..... n i was in marcuslim-serious-mode that time..... didnt work.... i fail to justify......

Oh wait...... i digressed fro the main topic....... back to where i left...... we were discussing about this particular problem..... then

Suddenly, out of nowhere, wen ping's lab partner asked.....
H M:
"eh,Mah chai ai ki tee toh badminton ah??"
(eh,tomorrow want to go play badminton?)
me:
huh???
H M:
kee tee toh badminton. U cai tee toh bo?
(play badminton. u know how to play?)
me:
oh well..... long time never play d.... y not... come la...
eh wait.... i go ask my gang 1st.....
H M:
so lu in huh? n HA. Kiou Wen Ping lai pun!!
(so, u're in? Call wen ping come oso!)
(start laughing like crazy and i can clearly see that wink in the eye)
me:
wei, u all serious wan anot??
H M:
serious wan..... bo lau lu eh....
(seriously. not lying)
me:
errr....ookay.....

Later i went to ask my fello badminton fans......
"eh... wan go play badminton..?"

joel immediately rejects the offer because there's no bowling nor pool in a badminton trip.......
then told everyone the story and
wen ping was like, "wan wan wan, i so long never play d"
jun guan was "ok... can oso.. where izzit?"
they said its at N park...... n obviously, for all of those who knows me.... my direction suc real bad......
so wen ping went instead to get directions as he claims to know that area cuz he used to have professional badminton training there last time when he was little......
i called him to ask Nian(one of the guys going for the badminton trip)........
then he dragged wen ping to wei wei and from the corner i can see them laughing loudly leaving
wen ping lost......
I felt pretty bad that time.......
So i asked again.....

me:
wei, u all serious wan anot??
Nian:
Sure lar.... we everytime go play wan....
.
.
(then i recall jeslyn saying something about Inti guys n girls playing badminton at N-park there.....)
.
.
H M:
On la.... Be sai disappoint u lang ae....
(its on. cannot disappoint u guys)
me:
u all dun look serious......
like wan kidnap us

After this, almost after every class, they will go like.....
"eh... remember k.... 2-4..."

The next day came......
we had class in the morning......
Normal stuff.
Normal stuff.
Normal stuff.

N besides learning Calculus on that day, i also leant that they were pairing up wen ping n some girl...... n that girl is going too!
Ahahaha!
i wont go into that right now.......
only on that very day, i can truly c some truth in their faces......
n so we went......

I went from 1 corner of the island to pick jun guan from his house........
Then i went to the other part of the island to pick wen ping from his house......
and finally go to the middle of the island to the badminton court.....
i'll always have petrol to burn.... dun worry....
was a bit late there......
but arrived same time as the others......

Played badminton after that....
wah..... the pro wan is reali ho liau.....
no match.....
but anyhow..... its was fun.....
never had exercise in a long time......
felt good....

n btw, sounds n noise are amplified in the lift.......

there..... it wasnt so bad wasn't it?
the 1st outing wif Inti comrades......
i'll see wat awaits me on monday.........
i still dun quite get some parts.....
oh well... thats probably because i dun understand chinese......

n if any of those ppl mentioned above happen to read this......
hello...... u may leave a comment......
n if made any mistakes along the storyline then pls do correct me......

ps: initials were used in the place of the real names to avoid furure conflicts....

Its been awhile....

2008-09-19T06:43:00.000-07:00

there isnt much to update about.....

things are the same as they were.......
HAPPPPPY..... bored..... then frustrated...... then sad....... And back to HAPPPPY......
n somewhere in between it i'll somehow think of a solution for my assignment......

yes..... for the past few days......

"Huah! maths assignment how to do?? all oso cannot answer?? Number one part a.) oso cannot understand d.... the rest how??? die d la......"

.
.
.
.
.
3 days later........
.
.
.
While brushing my teeth.......
"AHHH! i have found the solution for question 1 part a.)!!!!!
WAAAAAA!!!!"
quickly gurgle my mouth n attempted the method i discovered......
n it worked....
showed joel, wen ping all...... all amazed on how a marcus lim such as myself could think of such an approach....... ahahaha...... n while brushing his teeth.....
i dun think they believe me.... but thats reali how it was....
.
.
.
.
.
On the following day.... wait... i meant night.....
.
.
.
couldn't sleep..... felt a horrible guilt about something......
wen downstairs n watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S on StarWorld........
and all of the sudden.....
"I found the solution to Question 1 part c.)!!!!!"
grab a paper, tested my theory, and applied it...... i got my answer....
(NOTE:Question 1 part b.) is still not answered.....)
.
.
.
.
.
i do not know how long will it take until i reach number 2.....
But hey! i'm progressing.........

An Urge to update

2008-08-29T06:45:00.000-07:00

its holiday......
i wanted to update this blog i couple of times.....
but...
there isnt much happening in my life presently.....
My holiday life is boring.....
i had nothing to do...... and done absolutely nothing....
N everyone seems to be enjoying their long awaited holidays....

Boon Kit has his WOW,
Joel has his CABAL,
Wen Ping has his Bangkok,
Jun Guan has Taekwondo,
n Toh... is juz Toh....

There is juz nothing worth blogging about.......

i have been sleeping about 12 hours a day....
10 hours of main sleep and a 2 hour nap whenever i feel like it....

N towards the end of my holidays......
somebody..... this somebody juz cannot let me sleep peacefully and keep on waking me everyday.... whether its the main sleep or random nap.... he disturbs my sleep..... then ask petty questions like "eat steamboat need to book wan ah?".....
Sleeping is a very crucial part of my holidays............

i feel so miserable......
By the way.... Sem 2 is STARTING!!!
atleast things will happen in my life.....
8 hours EGE

4 hours Lab

8 hours Maths

ah.... there will be things to do after this.......
then muz reorganise kai kai days base on new timetable too.......
havent had them in a while......
i thought that since its holidays, there will be kai kai day everyday..... but.... i guess its not that simple....
nvm..... it'll be back.... soon.....
