The past week has been full of emotions and sadness.. Anyway, this would be my actual first Melbourne post. I haven't been updating not because I was busy put to simple put it, I was lazy.. But now, the blog shall be re-lived!
I'm sure everyone can still remember the Make Love not Warcraft episode on South Park. For those of you who don't, check it out..
Now, the usual guys (Marcus, Ben, Marc, AikSin) were here 2 days ago to DotA..
Needless to say, I was jobless. Stay tuned for more posts from Melbourne...

Electrifying
So there was a blackout in my house last night. Apparently due to the thunderstorm which blanketed the whole of KL. The blackout happened around 5pm when i was in Laundry for a special movie screening to watch "There's Only One Jimmy Grimble".
The movie was not bad.. The lead actor kinda looked like Wayne Rooney when he was a boy. This actually suited the movie's theme which was about football. However, there was that one thing that disappointed me. That kid should've been a United fan instead of supporting the blue half of Manchester.
Anyways, headed home after the movie. I even managed to avoid a massive jam and made it home only to find out that there is no electricity. Only a few houses are affected on my road due to a blown circuit due to the lightning. By now it was around 6pm. So my family and I waited.. 7pm.. and waited.. 8pm.. By now the entire house was pitch black:
we continued to wait.. 9pm.. and wait.. 10pm.. and wait.. 11pm... until finally some TNB technicians arrived.
We talked to the supervisor and he said the whole power supply to the entire road has to be cut to ensure the safety of the technicians that are gonna fix the problem.
Great. Now the whole street is pitch black. People started coming out of their houses and there were a few shouts thrown towards the technicians. Nonetheless, they've managed to fix the problem by midnight and restored power back to all the houses.
Full credit to the technicians for fixing the problem. Bollocks to TNB for their efficiency.

Posting Chairs
Hello.. Yes I know I know, its been awhile..
Saturday 30th Sep 06
Helped my friend Raymond Yip to move furniture such as wardrobes, shelves and chairs from his previous home in Palm Springs, Sunway Damansara to his new home in Aman Suria. There are many things to learn from shifting from one apartment to another and I for sure acquired some valuble lessons:
When shifting from one home to another, make sure you
1. pack and have everything readied
2. have trolleys around to ease moving huge objects
3. have vehicles that are capable of carrying huge loads
4. hire someone to do the moving for you
Either that or,
1. don't shift homes
2. buy all new furniture and fittings
Anyway, its been a good experience and hope you enjoy your new home Raymond!
A special shoutout to Seng Foo as well...

Its been a good day for these 2 lads:
Solskjaer and Man Utd for putting 2 goals past newcastle to put the devils back on top and Schumi for making it all square at 116 pts between himself and Fernando in a classic Shanghai Grand Prix
Another special occasion occured to a very special Isaac Tan whose birthday happens to fall on this date (2/10/06). Went to the curve to celebrate and lotsa wild things happened. This includes him standing on a chair. I'll leave it at that...
Monday 2nd Oct 06
Met up with Ryan and Fye after college. Headed to OU where we kinda didn't know what to do.. Met Ting there as well.. We ended up (well Ryan ended up actually) trying the batting cages thingy which was quite cool.
At night, went out with Ryan and Loong. Stopped by Allen's place without him knowing and kinda caught him *offguard* We then headed to PJ to pick up Fye from her 2 1/2 hours add math tuition. Ryan and I would surely have died if we were attending.. Her tuition was supposed to end at 10.30pm but she got out at around 10.45pm. During the "waiting period", we used Ryan's car's boot as a chair. It was during this period as well where we saw strange things such as talking dogs, runaway cats and erratic mosquitos...

Everything's gonna be alright
Last night, some dude rang the doorbell of my house and identified himself as a TMnet personel, claiming to do a survey on streamyx. Usually I would greet him at the gate and get the survey done on the spot. However, in a very rare occasion, my dad invited the dude INTO the house.. right... I was halfway watching Macca, Paul, Jamie and Shebs arguing when my dad asked me to talk to that dude.. it went well, something like this:
dude: Hello, sorry to disturb you. My name is (I forgot his name).
me : Hi, have a seat
dude: I'm gonna ask a few questions about your internet connection ok?
me : Go ahead
dude: Alright, first of all, are you using TMnet streamyx?
me : Yeah, of course
dude: Ah thats good. Which package are you using?
me : umm... Package 99.. the 1Mbps one..
dude: Ah thats brilliant. Do you have any problems or complaints?
me : uhh..
dude: Maybe about the speed or stability?
me : ah right... the speed is rather.. slow.. I mean like its stated 1mbps but I dont get that speed
dude: okay, using the speedometer, what speed did you get?
me : (I never actually checked, so I just gave some random number) about 400kbps I think..
dude: okay thats slow..
me : Tell me about it
dude: hehe. do you have any other complaints like disconnection etc?
me : Initially yeah but I think its quite stable now..
dude: Alright, thats it. Thanks alot for your time..
me : Sure thing.. Goodnight..
To my surprise, that dude was quite polite and friendly. My previous encounters didn't speak English at all! Anyhow, I did the speed test and my initial random number was quite off:
Oh well.. hahaha... At least TMnet can improve their services...
........................
This morning, I woke up, showered and decided to check up on the news on the net for awhile..
My initial thoughts were about Thira and her family but she told me that everything's normal and as usual.. She even went to the movies! So I guess its alright...
Thats it for tonight..

In other news, Apple has released a new batch of iPod's:
This is what the new ipod shuffle looks like:
Looks like a chopped up version of the nano without the screen.. Nonetheless, I think it looks better than the previous shuffle..
And here is the new nano!
A new facelift that looks rather similar to the old mini, with the curves and all..
And the ipod ipod!
Not much of a difference but Apple claims that the lcd screen is 60% brighter.. Not bad at all...
Hahah.. my first post is starting to seem like a mini review...
Enough of that.. next, huge shoutouts to Shazy who made this blog possible and Yusof, who's back from Perth. Dude, we need to catch up!

Anyways, was at Akar Karya (jamming studio in Uptown) tonight, fantastic place to play music with some ex-schoolmates from BB.. cool bananas.. Jammed stuff from GnR, Radiohead, Nirvana, The Killers, Billy Idol, Velvet Revolver, RHCP, INXS, Metallica and even Beyond and LMF.....In other news, Apple has released a new batch of iPod's:
