A Lucky/Unlucky Day

Today was a unlucky yet lucky day... i dont know which category it should be long to...

anyway, it starts off this way, class was early in the morning. after class,

Incident #1
wanted to pay INTI fees

Unlucky! - instead of writing Sdn. Bhd., i wrote Snd Bhd. on my cheque. so its not valid
Lucky! - not much people there. my turn was juz about 5 minutes after i pushed for my number. so i dint waste much time.



Incident #2
went to toshiba to get my laptop fixed

Unlucky - no parking outside, muz park inside. RM2... and cun cun when i wan to go out time the guard ppk dunno go where. pay to who ?
Lucky - go there settle super fast! the lady just made a report and its done. will get it back within 3 working days



Incident #3
Fetching jun guan home

Unlucky - missed a turning.
Lucky - jg remembered and there is always shell station to turn in to macD and finally to his house. hahaha



Incident #4
me going home myself

Unlucky - was quite jam when i was at Jalan Masjid Negeri.
Lucky - decided to turn into Jalan Besi area for a stroll. i like to take strolls around when i'm free.
(unlike some ppl who goes like a madman speeding everywhere...)
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

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...

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

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.

Poor lappie...

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.
