*pouts*

Favourite past time : Net surfing, manga reading, video gaming

Miss : The small 14" TV

Favourite winding down activity : Playing We Love Katamari

Tension keje, so driving home thinking "Man, be nice if I can play that crazy game again". Its so mindlessly fun, with a happy background music. I love all of the track, its just so nice, fun, like cotton candy, like colourful cloud, like, all the happy thoughts in the world.

So I tried plugging my old PS2 to the big TV, but its not working! I missed my little one, which I loaned to my brother since his big TV is not giving out red hue anymore, everything is blue and yellow. By the way, it is not fixable so I don't really know if I'm even going to get my little TV back. *sniff*

So, now I am reading Baby Pop, since I finished off Hotaru no Hikari yesterday. Latest episode yet to be published =P I've finished up until what they have there.

I like that Hotaru no Hikari since I am something like that (I bet I am like 75% of the working female populace of Japan?) that I am turning into a dried fish. Haha ikan masin engko! Lazat! So, the story caught the imagination with the fact that suddenly, you are given two choices in love O_O well, this kind of hidup mati choices always comes at the same time lar, just like my life. *sigh* of course real life ain't getting that good. But can you really choose between a younger man who is ernestly in love with you or an older man that annoys you but can be so comfortable when you are together?

Keh keh keh. All these josei mangas getting to me =P

I really can't wait for the next episode. Apparently, they have already turned it into a real life drama. If I can get a faster broadband connection, I'm getting it damnit!!!!

For now, I am settling for Baby Pop. What a title. Sounds like aiskrim patah you get when you were little, you know that thing that is thin in the middle, you can pop it into two if its frozen enough... Nevermind.

Baby Pop is about a girl with her stepfather which was 7 years younger than her mother, living together after the death of this said mother on their honeymoon.

Garr!!! Incestuous relationship alert!

I don't really know yet what the story heading to. I just read part 1 where the girl decided she is indeed going to stay with her idiotic stepfather instead of flying of to USA with her real dad who had neglected her since his divorce. But knowing Yayoi Ogawa, who did Kimi Wa Petto you will never know...

Saya nak baca Kimi Wa Petto.

Rasa macam nak serang kedai tu esok so I can finally put it to rest that I can use Wimax or not. I kept seeing it all over the place in SK, teasing me, come get some.

At least I can use the time productively, instead of waiting the page to load half the time.

On a different note, I have stopped aging since 10 years ago. This is the proof =P

You Act Like You Are 19 Years Old

You are a teenager at heart. You don't quite feel like a grown up yet, but you don't feel like a kid. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. You're quite rebellious, and you don't like being told what to do. You like to do things your way. You have your own unique style, taste in music, and outlook on life.

What Age Do You Act?

What I won!!!

Pemalas seperti aku

Being a typical lazy bum who rather be doing something else instead of cleaning up (shopping, sight-seeing, net surfing, sleeping, eating...) my room has turned unlivable since the last time I actually bothered to clean up, which was last month.

Since I am a lazy bum but would rather live like a human instead of a pig, I decided to clean the room section by section.

The first being the spot I hang out most of the time, lately.

The Ground Zero



Hell, even I'm scared looking at this before picture. For the past few days it has been rather cluttered and well - messy. But today, it has reached it's lowest of low, you must be wondering how can I stand that and even could type in that kind of environment. Does not even have an elbow space to be normal. But there you go. After you got used to it you tend to ignore it but really, now after I have cleaned up, the mess was pretty sick to look at O_O

This is after I cleaned up. So its not a major makeover, Casa Impian or Deco Bersama Eric thing, but now it look more like a computer desk, instead of a dumpster.



We have been staying in the same house for the last 29 years. And the type of natural hoarder like us, we tend to build up on our things. Note the stuff under the desk, boxes and boxes of things. God knows what in there now.

Wallpapers and fonts

Current Playlist :

Extreme Ways - Moby
I Want You - Common feat. will.i.am
A Little Less Conversation - Elvis vs. JXL

Tonight, as most nights I would spend online downloading something downloadable using my pathetic dial up connection.

For the past few days, its the wallpaper.

This wallpaper is downright kawaii. Art by Range Murata, his subjects are usually nubile young things, I believe he has lolicon.



I love this one as well. Art by Takeshi Okazaki, G rated. Essence of the pure and the innocent.



Girls are more visually pleasing than boys ;D

Today, I am trying to download fonts that I love, there were two main ones one the small fonts which I found here, and also at that site, I stumbled across fontalicious! Like long lost friend *sniff*

With these two fonts, I suddenly remember this script font that is elegant and grungy at the same time, was thinking hard what it was called until I remember that I used it for my old diary so I just tried my luck!

Lo and behold! My diary is still up! Shocker! All the way from 2007!!!



The title font is from (r)ecife, I actually put it at the side bar where I got all the thingamajigs. I love how I designed my old diary :D

Once upon a time (r)ecife and fontalicious has their own website. But if you are a font whore like me, you can still download them at the font sites 1 & 2.

I [heart]...

Spiro

Masa kecik dulu, pernah beli benda tu. Ada acuan dia, pastu ada piring piring berlubang lubang.

Bukan acuan kuih maruku da! Dulu tak tau apa ke namanya but now I know its called SPIROGRAPH!

My default browser is Opera. Since I have been using Opera Mini for a while on my N80, I love it so much, I think I'm gonna stick with Opera with my Computer.

Opera ni pulak, ada Widgets (I guess its like Google's Gadget) which is small and useful programs. One of it is Spirograph! I love this thing so much! I downloaded a bunch of Widgets but I think the Spirograph the best. Something to fool around when life gets a little too insane for comfort.

Behold! The spiros! I think you gonna see more of it in the future. I used to make a catalogue of these!

P1 W1MAX, Pedal Works, Schuez and whatnot~

I want P1 W1MAX

Yang tak lucunya, there's no coverage yet in my housing area. Yang peliknya pulak, there is in fact an agent somewhere nearby which does not add up. Yang memberikan harapannya pulak they are available at the housing area 5km away. That should mean, there'll be some 'reja reja' connection somewhere kan?

I'm going to find out as soon as gaji keluar this month. Perhaps that Friday before I send my car to workshop. Dapat yang paling basic je dulu jadilah, I'm not a heavy user anymore. No time meh. But at least I won't be tortured with this awfully slow connection.

Oh and yeah, I am not over my shoes topic - I am so going to ISETAN KLCC to check them plus size shoes. Huuu!! Gonna be burning some holes in me pocket!

Aku juga telah membeli sepasang kasut from a colleague because they were too big. Its a humble 2.5" high hell and is in fact a size too big for me. But the idea of having a pair of heels is so exciting. These were apparently bought at Isetan KLCC, by Pedal Works.

Scattered thoughts

Its a draining day. I will also have a pretty difficult day tomorrow. I kept thinking that there is no way I can do this for another year. Pun asked me just now if I still go back so late. I still do, unfortunately. And I said the only time it will end is when I'm out. I kept thinking back to the day where they decided I will take care of this team. How easy it seems for them to decide. I might be the craziest, but my level of patience is indeed very human. While I kept thinking that all these are challenges, I can't help but feel what the hell am I doing here? I am not getting any younger either!

So how am I going to get my Honda Accord? Can I quit and start a Nasi Lemak joint?

Look at me. While driving back I insisted I will leave these thoughts at the office, but here I am writing them away.

I added in Katy Perry's Thinking of you lyric at side there. I love this song. So very much, the video clip made me cry when I first watched it, the words reached pretty deep inside. Compounded that I am a war history fan - the video clip touched me deep.

If you have seen the video clip, you have to agree that Katy is so hot in the video clip. I simply love that 60's style she's pulling. Everything from her make up (love the eyes and lips), the hair, the outfits, even the bathing suit. My favourite being the black dress she wore in mourning. The jacket, the flaring skirt, so elegent. The hat with netted veil completed the look and her shoes! No way it looks comfortable but damn sexy! I want to be in that outfit! (of course I wouldn't be able to pull it like she did but heck, so stunning!)

*sigh* I really dig these 60's style.

If you look at the blog and think something's wrong with it, its because I messed around with the settings on the template. Like a candy store exploded in my blog.

Anyway, feast your eyes on these beautiful images of Katy Perry in the clip Thinking of you.

State of Pennilessness

Aku di tahap kepokaian yang sungguh tidak kelakar. I get in this kind of situation sometimes, actually it used to be all the time but end of last year up until now, my financial standing is pretty solid. I basically spend my money like water by buying clothes, make-ups, accessorise and being all girly like that. Its fun when after paying all the bills and the necessities I go skipping off towards the gold lined horizon to treat myself to a false sense of happiness through retail therapy.

Seriously, I can't help it. For a fatty, when I am all dolled up I am pretty cute I have to say. It really upped my feline qualities. Miawwwrrrrhhh!!

Yeah, so I am a conceited biatch, sew me HAHA!

Its bank holiday today but I stepped in to work today after an exhausting morning. Although, in my head I have sneakily hatched an idea not to go at all, a sudden call from my staff decided that I really do have to come in. What did I say about job that even take your personal time?

I kept telling myself, no matter. I will claim OT out of it, its only for 3.5 hours plus 0.5 for commuting. Since my AVP insisted on it. *evil grin*

For now, I have to bear with this penniless state. Which is pretty painful since there hasn't been a weekend spent at home successfully like last weekend. Somehow, we didn't go out. Usually, we would definitely go somewhere, shopping. I did go to Mines, but that is out of neccesity, anyway I was back within a couple of hours anyway.

*sigh* For some reason, God has his ways. He knows I am spending my money for nothing, so he guided this resolve to get a computer, hopefully something that will anchor me home. Haha, what a thought!

Yes, I am not going to get an FB account. Thank you, sis. Exactly! Among friends, nightmares! That is what I am scared of! And its so awkward to block them off, like they don't really know that they are a pain in our life and would be wondering why we are ignoring them =P so my monkey friends have to have 'fun' sans myself. Rather stick out of it what with having a bunch of my UK colleagues in there *shudders*

My dial up is pretty slow. Scratch that, not pretty slow. VERY SLOW! I am so used to the speedy connection at my office. Although, since getting this connection I am not quite sure where can I go to online. Its a large expanse of limitless world but here I am in this corner, not sure where to start. Damn newbie.

Oh, sister. Do get in touch with me. IM or whatever. Tell me where I can chat with you online, perhaps on weekend. Impossible on weekdays. I have YM and Skype. But I don't have a headset for us to use Skype for now, penniless, small, little me.

I'm BACK!

Akhirnya aku membeli sebuah computer - or someone mentioned, computer parts to make a computer which is assembled by the shop owner himself, bless his soul.

Computer ini yang aku hendak describe sebagai mediocre use berkebolehan untuk image editting tools yang agak berat. It works like wonder - pantas jugak bila pakai Adobe Photoshop. Tak meleleh darah telinga tunggu dia load, save dan sebagainya.

Aku dapat PC ni sebenarnya last week. In fact Sunday night, 11.15pm, dia sampai ke tanganku. Tukang beli? Budak kat ofis aku yang tersangat baik hatinya mengoffer body dan masa dia dan adiknya untuk membelikan computer ni pasal aku buat muka seposen kat dia dan basically begged him to get it. Pathetic or what? I know!!!! Kill me will you!

Anyway, happy 1 week with me dear computer which I have named Computer with a 'C'. Since he is the only one in the house, he can keep that name.

Nak tahu apa isi kandungan this baby? Mari bersama-sama menahan rasa benci, meluat, menyampah kepada aku yang masih lagi basking in the joy of owning a computer again finally since five years ago (Laptop for two years ago) hehe :

Processor : AMD Athlon Dual Core 2.71 GHz
Memory : Kingston DDRAM 2GB
Hardisk : Samsung Harddisk 160GB
Video : Intergrated je dulu nong, lagipun 512MB for video intergrated, OK ler tu.
Sound : Sama seperti di atas - tapi macam nak mampus install driver pasal ada problem dengan BUS driver
Media : DVD Writer Samsung
Modem : Ethernet ready, Aztech 56K - jangan gelak siot! Nanti aku dah settle masalah uangku, akan ku berpindah ke broadband.
OS : Windows XP (Ingat nak pakai Vista, tapi macam banyak songeh je, nanti dulu lah)
Monitor : Dell CRT Refurbished yang gedabak besar bas.

Itulah kisah computer aku yang boleh aku kategorikan sebagai jejaka yang boleh tahan jugak. Hensem kan computer aku? HEHE

Semalam aku pegi Mines, cari software dan apa yang patut juga modem 56 Kbps yang rupanya hampir pupus di zaman broadband ni. Aku masuk empat kedai sebelum aku jumpa dengan modem tu. Aku first masuk kat kedai komputer yang PALING BESAR SEKALI kat Mines tu. Besar gila kedai tu! Memang besar wei! Spot dia tu, kalau kat floor bawah dia adalah Giant, so imagine the massiveness of the shop. Aku pegi ler dengan yakin. Ye lah, kedai besar macam wholesale emporium takkan takde modem 56K ye dak?

How wrong I was.

Kat section Internet dia, ada macam macam modem broadband, ADSL, router, be it wireless or not. Tapi takde the puny bottom feeder/bottom of the food chain of 56 Kbps. "Kitorang takde bawak masuk modem tu," mamat tu kata bila aku tanya dah pupuskah modem 56K tu? Aku dengan tartly seraya menjawab. "Hi ih, kedai besar macam ni pun takde modem kecik tu ye!"

Selepas meninggalkan kedai yang memang best tapi takde modem yang aku nak tu, aku masuk ler dua tiga kedai lagi. Satu, satu kedai kata takde, muka aku mula bertukar menjadi muka doposen, pastu seposen, last last limasen. Setan betul. Really? Kaya betul umat kat Malaysia ni. Everyone can afford broadband that they are forgetting the small but friendly 56K modem!

Aku macam nak give up dah. Imagine, one week I was planning to get the modem since I really can't afford to get broadband now. I just got myself a computer out of my monthly salary damnit! Finally when I was executing the plan, it did not go as I expected...

Instead, I hardened my resolved, takpe banyak kedai lagi nih!

And true enough. The last shop I tried, I stood at the entrance not really sure if I should try again. The dude at the counter was damn busy with a couple of customers so I asked the other dude testing out a laptop.

"Apa? Modem 56K ah? Mau internal ka, external punya?"

Aku menarik nafas lega. Syukur kepada Tuhan yang Maha Mengetahui. Dia menunjukkan aku ke arah kedai ini yang ada product AZtech.

Dengan yakin aku mintak internal, pasal murah sket lagipun, patut senang pasang PCI chip nih. Ele, sia sia ler belajar 3.5 tahun kat UPM buat science computer kalau tak daring nak pasang chip sendiri.

Aku sempat tengok external dia punya. Kecik nak mampus skarang ni - dulu aku beli external modem AZtech ni ada macam besar eyeshadow case untuk four pallet punya besornya tapi tebal sket. Tapi skarang ni, dah sekecil ibu jari aku ni ha. Amazed gak. Tapi yang aku lagi amaze, harga dia. Internal RM23.00, external RM59.00. Internal cost less than half of the external. Go figure!

Lepas aku dah beli modem tu, singgah jap beli pirated softwares. OH GOD SAVE MY SOUL!! Note to self : Kedai tu ada mamat yang tak ler hensem tapi tinggi banget, aku punya taste gittew.

Aku beli ler bundle software yang diperlukan. OS sekali mana tau aku gatal gatal karang install install kena reformat pulak C: drive aku, mana nak cekau OS nanti kan. Microsoft office mesti, Adobe Photoshop wajib tu! Macromedia Dreamweaver Har..... Mana Macromedia Dreamweaver? Apsal dia Adobe Dreamweaver? Adobe curik ke? Wait. Last time I heard there was a court case between Adobe and Macromedia because of the interface layout issue. Adobe saying Macromedia is copying their creation. I thought Macromedia won but what happened lar.

Rupa-rupanya "The line of Macromedia products is now controlled by its former rival, Adobe Systems, which acquired Macromedia on December 3, 2005." - Wikipedia.org

So, harus aku mendapatkan Adobe formerly Macromedia Dreamweaver itu jugak. Dah beli yang perlu, balik dengan berkobar-kobar. Sempat singgah kat F.O.S beli stretchable beads necklace (LOVE IT! Its dark red!)

Balik rumah, perkara pertama ialah memasang modem, ingat ye, 3.5 years studying computer science.

But 45 minutes later, I found myself again at Mines - braving through the traffic and the impossible parking - because I cannot put the damn PCI chip in. I thought its easy install but dang! I was a sissy after all.

Kat kedai tu, I was determined that if the dude doesn't want to take the merchandise back, I would leave it there and buy the external one. But RM59! Phooey!

Tapi kat kedai tu, budak tu telah dengan deftly showed me how to put it in. I braved the traffic and the parking for nothing. I didn't see that there is indeed a space in the chip that would fit into the port.

Pendek cerita aku balik ler, pasang balik modem dengan jayanya and everything else basically resolves itself. I got myself the Microsoft Office 2007 which looks pretty radical that I have to relearned everything. Installed the Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 but not able to do so with the Photoshop but got a repalcement in another CD I have for Adobe Photoshop CS3 which is good enough. I installed Firefox, Opera browser and 1001 internet thingies. Also put the security up for my PC with Avast since the boy that bought the PC for me said is the best and I happen to have it in my bundle CD. (Kapersky is annoying). And finally this morning I resolved my sound driver issue by dowloanding and installing a patch. So my baby here is almost a whole man, haha except that if I get the memory upgrade and later the Harddisk I have been dreaming - 1 Terrabyte.

Oh gorsh, this computer talk! I can go on and on and on.

Sekarang ni aku tak dapat nak decide lagi if I want to join my friends on Facebook. Tapi aku gerunlah. There are just so many real people I know there so maybe I can decline on that. I think I passed that already. Biarlah budak budak ni knock their socks off.
