FRIENDSTER! Y U NO MORE?!

friendster is gone!?? =(

this was what was written:

4.10. Where did the photos, blogs, comments, testimonials and all the other content in my old Friendster profile go?

As part of the reformat of the site, we had to remove some of the content of your profile including the photos, albums, blogs and most parts of the profile like the "more about " info, comments and the testimonials.  All these data had been deleted and can no longer be retrieved.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i remembered i logged in a few months back in 2011... haha amazing to see how tonnes of memories in photos and 'testimonials' could be just wiped out just like that.

blah was hoping to retrieve some old stuff form it, to print, probably make a scrap book or something... but i guess its too late now.

"but i guess its too late now" ... ???? what kinda statement is that?!

so who cares if the past is wiped out.. i guess this is like a 'preparation' for when the 'new world order' comes into play.. haha... imagin all you've worked so hard for, all the time spent to achieve something ..... all take away from you, with out your consent.. gosh, life ain't fair, ten again, no one ever said it was


no point ranting over spoilt milk.

so, just like what paul said in his letter to the philllipains

"Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead" 

i too, shall look forward to what is ahead. everyday a choice is made, a chance to change. =D hopeful i've learnt whatever i need from the past, i'm bound to make mistakes in the future, but all i need to look forward to is the wonderful days i've got infront of me.

lesson learnt: never trust technologies to keep our memories (including facebook?), its all in the head =P

the only thing constant is change

memories that wouldn't stay

as much as i wanted them to

my brain was just degrading away

thats why there was something i needed say

decades may pass with you by my side

it would have been like that if nothing changed

but i wouldn't want to stay the same

as if every day was spent in vain

i had to make a move

a big gamble it was

to step beyond the comfort zone

into something that would bring the change

i'm not referring to the bad things i did

those were my sins, and i paid for it

i'm truly sorry for your heartbreak

it was wrong of me to be such a ...... jerk 

but now we both know

on a mutual agreement

that both parties are set free

to wonder their own way

to meet new friends

along life's new path

bumping into old ones

for an occasional laugh

its been almost a year now

until the circumstances met

even tough i sorta made a vow

i had to take the chance of this set

to rectify things to rekindle memories

to remind you of the love we once had

i don't know why, along the way

i tainted it with my sin from far away

the words i chose,

the actions i did

wasn't in line

with what i said

sometimes i said things 

that didn't make sense

but you would still listen

and understand them

there is something you must know tough

because even you said you preferred it

to be comfortable enough with someone

and be able to speak with freedom in it

i could choose to hide the things,

some topics that were uneasy

but that would meant lies to you

by no telling you the whole story

i agree i wasn't a good talker

never filtering what i said

neither was i a good listener

but still accepted all you did. (sorta)

i always wondered why you were quite

why you didn't just talk it out

i remember i used to scold you

to not backspace your msn chat typo =P

then again, i didn't really do my part

sorry i wasn't the perfect sport

pleasing you was something like art

sometimes i just missed a spot.

as much as i would love to be there

when ever you needed me

you to know that i have my own story

and i too was torn apart in agony

it wasn't easy, to choose what i chose

after calling you sweet names

for years as if there was no end

to finally say it, i had my own plan

physically, truly years had passed

a time length never heard of in school

but somehow or another

all i stayed was a young fool

a fool not because of you

but a fool not to have spoken to you

over the years we grew

i changed and so did you 

you knew me and i knew you

we would go places with out a clue

but where ever you went, i never stopped you

for i knew you would always stay true

i'm do agree i'd confused you

making you think i'll never leave you

but if you saw me in the obituary

i would have failed you

thats why it was so important for me

to show you that there is more to life than me

make no doubt, you meant much if not all to me

i couldn't just be with you and let it be

there were too many wonders for you to see

and i wanted, was to shared it with you, honey.

time has passed, the chances has slipped by

one thing left, all that i can do

as i lay on my bed

i'll be praying for you.

holidays

school holidays! are here.. and gonna be over soon.

from the optimist point of view:
what a crazy busy one its been! i just love it when there's stuff to do and keeps me on my toes all the time. never a boring day at home and always out on the go.

reality:
gosh i'm tired

pessimist:
can i swap places with someone who stays at home and sleeps the whole day? cause i really want a holiday to be like that.

balancing it:
in life, which poin of view we choose. does make the difference for our future.

but anways all in all, i thank God for the memories and opportunities. met up with friends. got stuff done. learnt from mistakes. and.. excited for the new year? (i wish!) heh

on another note: just came back from scouts camp. in templers. how i love the smell and feel of being in it. ahhh relaxing.

back form PLKN

yup, i was in kumpulan 2 siri 8 / 2011...

who ever said PLKN was fun is.. not very correct
i found it very suffering and boring..

but owh well, thank God for all things.
made new friends there.

and that was what made it worth the stay.

praise you God for all that has happened.
the things You have thought me
and showed me.. that it is possible to pursue treasures that will last forever

power supply adapters for guitar pedals

well, what does a RM100 PSU for a 9V guitar pedal have that makes it diffrent from a RM12 one?
cheap powersupply units... can they be upgraded with just a few small componets so they provide equally good and clean power?

lets find out what the net has to say abt it

first ask uncle google and find the images

next click a few links that show schematics:
from electro tech
 ok so maybe i aint got any idea how to read this kinda stuff











another post by makezine

err ok so whats the difference?

well... i opened up the RM 12 one and there was just one transformer, a rectifier componet and a capacitor.. thats all. obviously expensive ones have much more components

well.. and easy to understand one from inscrutables

ok.. i'm gonna read how to build one =D

tron and SC2

just watched TRON! with jia ming and joshua chin ... erlier in the afternoon just finished Inception .. (man it was a good show until the end) .. and guess what? this two movies are so similar!

and Inception is like.. matrix times 5 xD

oh and ong bak 3 is one of the best fighting shows ever man, and recommendations on other shows with some fight techniques?

oh btw SPM isOVEWRERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

yessssssssssss. freedom smells good

not going for prom on wednesday =( what a waste har

starcraft 2 is an awesome game man, go play it.

just follow the marking scheme la .exam formats

blah, its no use if you study a subject and answer correctly.
you need to know what the *toooot* format is to write in exam papers.. blah

see my case: i've got written answer which make perfect sense, but just because i left out a few words and the teachers mark sooo strictly according to the marking scheme thats been given to them... i got it wrong =(

yup, this is a ranting post =D yeah yeah so what if i got low marks for my trial exams =(
you know what, and advice to teachers, just teach the marking scheme and screw the info in text books.
i studied ok! my answers are correct!!! ... but because u so "no-use-brain" you just mark according to what you've never ever thought us in class .. so to make less students feel depressed, teach the *toot* way you all mark it laaaaaa

bio-paper 3 part A
BM-Rumusan (ok i got thought this one), pemahaman (pada pendapat saya......)

most killer: moral- every single question got format, and you have to salin the whole soalan into your answer (super dumb.. its like ... err.. nvm), part B: the huraian for the nilai must link to the situasi??

and.... err.. many more lah

check this out.. what happen to my bio for apparatus and materials

me: "err teach, i got seperate wort.. all my apparatus on one line and my materials in the next"

teacher: oh ok... you see you got 4 ticks for apparatus and 6 ticks for materials .. there is no such combination in the marking scheme

me: my apparatus got the 60W lamp

teacher: oh in the marking scheme its written as "lamp with 40W bulb" where is your "bulb"?

me: seriously?

teacher: yeah, its diffrent work.. a lamp and a bulb..

me: errrr....... but there i got write "ruler" for apparatus wort.. doesn't that count? its used to measure the distance of the hydrilla and the lamp rite?

teacher: errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... aiah "just follow the marking scheme la"!

-no wonder they say we not creative or innovative-

my very first cybercafe

on tuesday, right after school..
beelee, chien choon, jeff teh, li ren , yi shien and jen yike and i went to INC to play starcraft.

and oops, forgot to say something importantb efore that, TRIALS ARE OVER!!!
=D.. now just to wait for the results to come out ..errr..

so we played starcraft, left 4 dead and morden warfare 2.
... the only game i've played is SC.. i totally died in the other two games...

so yup, this memorable day ends my long streak of not suing a cybercafe comp for..... 17 years
beat my record for those who still can.

.. but yeah.. for the sake of social life, i threw away my perfect record =P

AVR- automatic voltage regulators

i just opened up an old tape player, the power supply unit fascinates me. all those capacitors and transformers.
took a really long time staring at that thing, looking at the schematics and figuring out how it works

then i went online to search about AVRs
here's what i found:
 in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Voltage_Regulator

a boring video from google ppl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5wfv7RE_J4&list=QL

then i got a lil carried off
wooh look at how these ppl talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK9wsf58a6Q&list=QL&playnext=2

oO amplifier in a tin! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQBAnjq6hKQ&list=QL&playnext=2

utterly weird ... shrinking chip bags: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhA4XCn2liQ&list=QL&playnext=1

there's these ppl from india i think, with Dynamic voltage regulator (DVR)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTO4us2jV6o&feature=related

in the end
but there are already ppl who sell this stuff: http://powersolutions.com.my/catalog/Automatic-Voltage-Regulators/LYBRA-Single-Phase-Line-Conditioner-02kVA-15kVA/

but i'm still gonna try to build my own AVR one day

holidays

i LOVE holidays

fri-sun: ppbc church camp. mhmm we should be broken so we can be used by God?

mon: met up with kin ching and poh yee to discuss about camp. haha their all gonna die have a really nice time in camp. cyling and parkour with kerwiin. took him on the super cruise hill at DJ that Sam showed me the other day

tues: taylors lakeside with poh yee, kah keng and tuck choi. we won first place in their amazing race. what a nice library they have. their round ball shapped chairs are really comfortable (i think from ikea?)

weds: rock climbing at madmonkeyz wangsa maju with ken. we went in one hour earlier than the opening time. the lady there was really nice. four hours of rock climbing is fun! came back all the scouts equipment kena taken from my house, they (campers) dropped by while i was out.

thurs: bumz around. went out with joshua and kerwiin to refund a fallout3 non-working disc at atria and also later to look at paintball guns in glomac (al fariz there). went back to his "penthouse" to play borderlands and morden warfare 2. (walau, play those games like super alot edi) also fixing poh yee's computer. i'm your grinnin' sapper: anything you need fixed?

in the future to come:
fri: what to  do on friday? go visit the scouts who are camping in templers
sat: street feeding

there one whole week of holidays gone
and i haven't read any books that can develop myself. sigh, how to help the world?

random thoughts: oh when i grow old, and start touring the world i want to visit crystal palace/ caravan of crystal giants/ cave of crystal giants in The Naica Mine of Chihuahua, Mexico.
