Coming home now…

Yaaz.. Tomorrow I’m going back.. feel so happy.. grateful that I eventually decided to go back, although it’s just one week+.. zhang jun himself is also on leave.. will only come back to sg on 7th January.. hahaha..

Today is Christmas.. Heem.. didn’t do any special thing.. only packing and cleaning.. having last lunch and dinner with ‘survivals’ before going back.. when they said ‘sun hong’, I somehow feel don’t want to leave.. ^^; All.. Thanks a lot ya… you make my holiday more meaningful~

For my Ureca.. I managed to ‘produce’ something in my last minutes. I did the interface, and smaaaalll part of the program. Yeah.. not much, but at least now I know how to do hooking. ^^.. special thanks to madChook =) Now I can leave Singapore without Ureca burden.. hohoho.. c ya again next year, Ureca!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays (N’Sync)

This song is being repeated again and again as I typed this blog ^^.. Such a nice Christmas song :)

Had been almost one week without blogging.. hem.. what I have done? Not very far from slacking, watching, gathering, and trying to do my URECA.. very limited time is spent for the last one =.=.. After two weeks without a visible improvement.. seems like my mood was down.. and I was like taking my cough as an excuse to skip ureca… ^^; not a good attitude, of course.. but too late.. now is 25th December.. I’m going back to Indonesia tomorrow.. can’t do a lot anymore.. >.< nothing to regret though.. yaaaay.. ^^

My Christmas eve never far from Orchard.. haha.. Today, I had my sequel of shopping madness.. started my day with shopping at JP with Helios.. bought tee for daddy, chocolate for mommy.. then eat KFC as lunch together with tatsu, juli, and agung.. both jess and rina skipped KFC… they felt like having too much of it already.. sigh.. ^^;… haha..

With full stomach, our next destination was Bugis.. Tatsu wanted to buy internal harddisk.. for the welfare of blazers’ anime resource… hahaha.. so, all of us went there.. I bought a new $6 head set too.. as my old one is 60% broken already ^^;.. hahaha.. then then.. at bugis.. of course didn’t forget to pray.. =)

Finished with a short chapter at Bugis, we went to Orchard.. Rain was following us along the way.. =.=.. it made the road less crowded (maybe) but almost all of us got wet.. and somehow really dropped my mood… We reached Orchard at 4++.. then shopped at Tang (again) and managed to buy the happy b’day card I wanted last time ^^.. Met Jess at 5.. have some pictures at Christmas tree.. walking around.. then going for dinner. Our first dinner destination was Sakura buffet at orchard shopping center.. but as we reached there.. “reservation? No? full house then” oh.. T__T.. what make me “ T__T” is that we need to walk back again.. it was raining hard enough that time.. and.. gomene all.. as usual I didn’t bring umbrella… haha.. So.. then.. eventually jess suggested us to go to Paragon… got a lot of restaurant there. Yep.. she was right.. lots of restaurant there.. and we decided to eventually choose a popular one.. with queue more than 3m.. we have prepared ourselves to wait more than hours.. but then.. not even 15 minutes, we’re being called! While most of people infront of us still waiting.. waw? Seems like 7 people is a lucky number ^^.. we ate noodle.. and ordered dumplings.. Jess was right.. it’s delicious ^^.. and the waiter was so kind.. kept filling up our tea.. eating hot noodle with hot tea.. suited a lot with the cool weather.. really felt charged there.. thanks so much for the recommendation, Jess.. =)

After dinner… next plan? Shopping? It crossed our mind.. but eventually (don’t know if it’s because of me or not >.<) we decided to go back to ntu.. and wow.. it’s not easy. We’re in an extreme traffic on our way to MRT. A lot of police blocking the ways and try to do congestion control (make me remember of my Networking course..) it’s so so so full.. and to make thing worse, it started to rain again.. oh.. what a rainy Christmas.. we can only felt relieved when all of us get into the MRT station.. haha.. we reached NTU before 10.. fuiiih.. tireed.. I wondered if I will still be alive if I was at Orchard until the countdown.. ^^;

Alrite.. need to sleep now.. haven’t started packing at all.. and still need to make a list of sins for my ureca supervisor.. sigh..

Still never go to Vivocity...

Happy Birthday Phing!

19th December.. always an important date to note.. haha.. yup.. my best friend’s bday.. ^^ (eee, ok2 phing, not only friend, we’re best relative ^^) hahaha.. Happy B’day for you… eventually you also reach the head of ‘2’ ^^.. Catch up with u in next few months! Hahaha.. can’t wait to meet u soon…

In order to celebrate her b’day.. let’s write something about my activities.. (???) These few days, most of my activities were coughing. Nothing much to explain.. I skipped lab for don’t-know-how-many days already… sigh.. anyway, look at the positive side, I was really forced to quit my coffee.. so.. the rehabilitation went smoothly.. and now I am drinking milk instead of coffee.. yeah~ a big success.. (Nancy.. hoping you the same success with your Diet-Coke rehabilitation :p)..

On Sunday, I went to Alumni Night Dinner… alone… T__T.. On the way there, a lot of people asking where I was going (maybe because I wore so formal and look like waitress..) and questioning me why I was going while I’m not even on my IA yet.. hahaha.. Thanks to Medy that I got the invitation.. or I’ll be thought of dressing formal only for the dinner.. It wasn't their fault, actually.. the dinner was worth fighting for.. it was excellent! All that you might wish for.. sushi? Malay food? Western food? Chocolate fountain? Dessert? Cheese? Everything provided.. hahaha.. worth my time sitting and listening to speech for 3 hours.. ^^

I knew almost no one there… (ya.. who in my batch am I supposed to see.. ^^;) Only met Erikson.. who was busy ushering guests to Nanyang Audi (and kicked me when I asked him to usher too.. T__T).. and also Peng Ho.. who was incharged for that day first aid.. Ronn.. Who was very busy with SU people.. until eventually.. after kept looking… I found.. Silvia!! Aah.. eventually.. never thought I will be so happy to find her.. ^^. Then I tagged her all along the way.. haha..~~ met more new people along.. all were asking where I worked.. sighed >.<.. not to blame them, I was in the wrong place from the beginning. Hahaha..

To make the long story short, I went back to hall at 10++.. with full stomach.. I ate almost every kind of food there, regardless of my sore throat and cough.. yah, I accepted the consequences for my big mouth… hahaha.. back to hall, rest for a while, then went to celebrate Chris’ b’day at his room.. and.. for the second time, we’re not able to meet him… sigh.. eventually needed to wait for almost 2 hours.. when he eventually turned out at Helios’ room.. haha.. Happy Belated b’day, Chris… All the best for you this year yo.. ^^

Yoz, eventually.. time is 1.30 now.. almost whole day slacking around.. hahaha.. btw, I watched Andy lau’s “Battle of Wits” today.. don’t understand why they said the movie is worth watching at cinema.. find it a bit disappointed…. Haha..

Ok, time to sleep!

Nitez~

Girls-Only Blogthings

You Should Be With a Water Sign!

Your best match is a Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces

Why? You crave intimacy and connection in your relationship and while most guys can't open up enough for you, a Water Sign can. Not that you're whole relationship will be soul gazing, a Water Sign matches your goofy sense of humor - and desire to help others.


Your Ideal Marriage Proposal Is

Mutual, after a great conversation about your future and feelings.

... what actually make me took those tests ^^;;; hahaha... just curious to find out too when i browsed A-PratZ's blog :p

No comment with the result,

Currently…

Under a high level of pressure. Now is approaching the end of 2nd week of lab.. and I don’t have even a piece of code to show and proof that I do something. What I had been doing is search, search and research.. from first expectation of high level language such as C#, now I’m down to the Windows API programming in C++.. I’m totally stunt when I saw the ‘easiest’ code in the related tutorial.. and end up spent my whole day yet can’t figure out what are those codes talking about. It’s all variables with not understandable meaning. Example of the code:

pLibRemote = ::VirtualAllocEx( hProcess, NULL, sizeof(szLibPath),
MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE );
::WriteProcessMemory( hProcess, pLibRemote, (void*)szLibPath,
sizeof(szLibPath), NULL );

Readable, huh? But really not understandable for me.. all those variables just seems like out from no where.. help meee >.<

To make things worse, I’m not in my fit condition.. since Tuesday, I got severe sore throat + itching nose. But I just don’t care about it, and event join ISG, running together with erikson, ari, and jun wei for the opening of ISG… Not really tired.. but after the opening ceremony ended, I directly went to lab again, without changing clothes whatsoever.. the effect was real.. I felt sick by the next 2 hours.. can’t resist it anymore, I went back and rest.

The next day, I skipped lab. Partly because I wasn’t feeling good yet.. and because I needed to prepare to go to aiport with Rina, Medy and You Xiang. Yep, the day is eventually here. The Redcross’ Mission to Vietnam trip. The event that had been prepared from semester 1 =).. haha.. we reached airport almost 1 (sorry for being latee.. >.<) and then taking pictures (as usual) and ate at Burger King.. Food really can kill me. I even can’t resist the temptation of eating those during my severe sore throat >.< Btw.. we meed our prez’ subcomm there. He is really quiting SCE.. for next sem. Yet to decide his future for next year.. due to medical reason.. but he said that we still can call him for help anytime we need him.. thanx so much =)… he is really a good subcomm ^^

So.. by 3pm.. all of them go inside the airport… we go round for awhile at airport before eventually going back.. reaching hostel at almost 5.. then went to check my letter box.. and found my cheque from M1.. horaaayy!! I was so afraid that it wont be delivered to me.. due to the wrong address.. somemore, handarmin had already received it 2 weeks ago.. anyway.. happy2 ^^

Today, I went to lab again. Today, I encountered windows API programming, which made me break down, up, break down, up, and break down again. But at the end.. I decided not to give up.. and tried my best to understand it instead of asking for new project.. it’s not fair for Medy.. and I myself also not really felt good of changing project. Every project has its own difficulty. Just carry on. Yeah!

Take care, Red Cross Team. Enjoy your holiday at Medan, Tomy & WK. Next departure: (19) Nancy & Ivana, (20) Boly, (21) Anton, (23) Vera… Gonna miss all of you…

Sore throat + coughing + itching nose,

Self reflection

Who am I? A selfish kind of person. :( Always get the same feeling when I’m in difficulty. I got valid reason to think so. When I’m stress or in trouble.. there are always friends care enough for me.. asking if there is anything they can help… always. I really appreciate what they did to me.. felt so touch… and definitely helping me to distress… (Friends.. thx so much.. you know I mean it)

However.. I myself. What I did when they were in my position instead? I never felt that I did as much as them.. said I’m a bo chap person… I really am.. I did try to help as much as possible IF they asked for help.. but why I’m so seldom initiating the help?

*Thinking*

Holiday :'( Holiday :)

One week of holiday passed.. I have a stressful week-day.. lucky it ends with a happy week-end…

On Wednesday, I eventually discussed with Medy.. we decided to use C# to code it. So, on Thursday.. I searched all the possibility of using C#.. Although has been years, C# isn’t very widely used yet.. thus.. very little help can be found how to use C# in networking.. more, all the C# tutorial related with Winsock never can work! Really stressing people up >.<.. On Friday, Medy eventually had time to go to lab. We discussed for a while, then chatted with prof Zhang Jun again. And again, I felt lost. The program must be somewhere between application and transport layer.. and if the program can ever be done, it must be through the use of Winsock.. while.. I really didn’t know yet how powerful the Winsock is. I couldn’t really concentrate on Friday.. Still felt losing my roomie after saying goodbye to her at Habour Front.. (since when I became mellow? ^^;) hahaha.. I eventually walked out from lab at 3pm.. feeling guilty to keep mellowing in lab and claiming the money. :p met Tomy and WK on the way back.. thus eventually had tea break… chatting around of how stress all of us.. ^^; then eventually decided to distress ourselves by going out tomorrow. Journey was being planned.. we chat until 4++ before decided to go back.. hahaha.. Reached my room.. again, felt the emptiness. Put down the thick C++ book I borrowed from Arianto (thanks a lot ^^) then started chatting and browsing until late at night.. Then went to celebrate Dunkie b’day.. haha.. Happy 20th B’day, Duncan! It’s such a nice party. Eventually be able to see that Duncan can be salting too because of so many guests :p.. haha.. I met Hans there.. he asked me about the ureca project.. in where I can’t really give good answer.. however, eventually he decided to join us! (after so many rayuan pulau kelapa from me…) when he questioned me about the prog language use, I said C++.. then he cheered. I wonder if he knew C++ very well.. he said that he knew nothing.. but he really eager to learn. Hem.. quite deterministic =) that made me think.. why it’s so hard for me to leave from my comfort zone of java and C#.. while he is so happy to learn new language? I think I should have taken it as an opportunity from the first place.. instead of thinking of switching project or forcing to use C# in doing it. Thx for make me realize it ;) One week late is better than no at all rite? Haha.. I back to hostel at almost 2.. then of course going to sleep asap.. and wake up again at 9am by alarm. The room was still as silent as when I was going to sleep.. oh.. roomie.. :’( Then I prepared myself.. then go out at 10.10.. met all of them ontime.. except WK who late for 10 minutes.. which was still very2 ok ;) Reached Bugis around 11… Boly gathered with us there (sorry for making u waited for so long >.<) then went to pray together.. the place was in renovation, but still so many people there.. ^^; finished praying, went for shopping a while at upper level of bugis market.. (got aircon there!) the place is nice enough.. but strange that so many shops are closed. We bought some stuff.. (thanx jess for the cute thing :’)) then went to our next destination… what? KFC for sure ^^ Since I commented that the chicken at KFC nearby is small, we’re having KFC at mall.. The place is so small.. need to wait 15 minutes to get a seat.. >.<. but then, all of us are satisfied with the meal (Cheese Fries still the best) Felt very full as we walked out and continue our journey to Mount Faber ^^ It was around 1.30 when we reached habour front and bought our sky train ticket to mount faber.. All girls sat in one sky car, while all guys (poor them, so gersang :p) sat at another car. I got the car number 57.. which is my favourite number.. so happy o^.^o.. Rina was definitely scared when she was going in to the car. Keep holding Jess' hand all the way to Mount Faber.. haha.. It’s a fun experience. Can see the whole Vivocity from upthere.. ^^ Reached mount fiber.. the christmas feeling was really there.. the decoration was wonderful.. the theme is jewel box.. the decoration filled with blue and white.. what a white Christmas.. adore the decoration so much. Hahaha.. We took a lot of photos (for sure) although I need to use my 2MegaPixel nokia camera this time.. ix.. I really miss Canon.. William said that he is planning to buy a camera too.. Canon A63. Eh? It reminded me that William Tjin ever suggested Canon A63 too.. 2 suggestions from 2 William can’t be wrong. Camera defined ;) But I still don’t know when I’ll buy a new one.. still feeling guilty after all.. >.<.. boly said that she also wanted to buy a camera. Haha.. if 3 of us go to buy together, will it be cheaper? :p

Ok, back to main track.. so we played at Mount Feber until around 4.. have a lot of jokes and chatting along the way. It’s so much fun =D.. next, we’re thinking of going to vivocity or orchard.. after much consideration.. since only me and henry who never go to vivocity.. following the proverb “one for all”, we decided to go orchard instead.. Reaching orchard… the shopping evil started to wake up. Bought 2 handbags from Tang at the first half hour.. :p.. then.. went to Christmas decoration store.. I want to buy a card.. but then.. after waiting for more than 15 minutes and my queue kept being cut, I felt angry and canceled it. Have more windows shopping.. then we went to lucky plaza.. bought phone cards (and more windows shopping) and then having our dinner at Ayam Penyet. That was my first time eating there. Comment? Nice ;) Thanx so much friends to fulfill my demand.. although we just have chicken for lunch (shy shy) Finished dinner, my lip is as red and as bold as African T__T who asked me to finish all the chili... sigh.. didn’t want to care about it, next we moved to Giordano.. Tomy and Henry began their shopping madness :p.. hahaha.. after gio, move to Taka.. bought chocolate for daddy and jacket for mommy.. also bought some other stuff for friends.. all of us really shop we never shop before ^^;.. bought so many stuff… We eventually finished shopping when all the shop close.. and going back at 10++…

Reached NTU at almost 12.. feel so tired.. yet happy.. and didn’t have any intention to study.. hahaha.. so just packing some stuff.. and going to zZzz.. The next day… doing all the household stuff.. sweeping, mopping, cleaning desk, washing clothes, blanket, jacket, etc etc.. also preparing the stuff to be taken back.. only finished at 4.. ^^;.. sigh.. then.. start to write this blog.. then.. now is almost 6 already.. going to have dinner soon and watch movie with blazers =)

Such a happy weekend… these is my another 3 days without coffee.. (but also 3 days without studying.. ^^;) Henry suggested that i try to stop it alternatingly.. may be will try to follow it.. ^^ Yooz.. going back in 2 weeks time.. tomorrow will be a tough day.. btw.. looking at my photos, I just realized that I’m so much fatter after exam.. sigh.. why T__T

Miss you, Che.

Those Rehabilitation days...

... fail without excuse. ^^; These 3 days, i have refrained myself from drinking coffee... And so, these 3 days... My brain never can think clearly.. neither can I be fresh enough no matter how long I sleep.. And as the consequence of taking nap too often, I can’t sleep at night, which cause me to even sleepier in the morning.. so.. eventually.. I quit rehabilitation! Yay… As long as I’m not overdoses.. I hope I’m fine.. T__T

If I really need to find something to blame, maybe I should blame it to ureca :p haha.. The ureca madness started this Monday.. Can you believe, I’m really taking a project in networking! The weakest subject I’m in… I don’t know what make me actually accept it at the first place.. now I’m sitting at lab from 8.30 – 5.30 without knowing where should I get started.. sigh.. not really a good sign for a start. I think I have opened thousand of website regarding socket, hooking, etc.. but nothing really stick in my mind yet >.<>.< Let’s see how it is after few more days…

Eventually finished Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle Season II,

Post-Exam Post

The first day after exam.. I slept at 4++.. can’t really sleep.. then wake up at 10++ (note: ++ can mean anything bigger).. hahaha.. wake up.. cleaning room.. then discuss with my sister if I should go back later.. after discussion, think that I might be able to go back at the end of December.. and coming back the following week.. right before IA.. but the flight ticket is yet to be booked.. see how ba.. my roomie most probably going back this coming Tuesday.. :’( going to miss her a lot >.<

After lunch.. continue installing software to my computer. Microsoft is really fighting against piracy! All the new software can’t be installed without the genuine test. Sigh.. lucky.. suddenly out from no where.. I manage to get a registry key.. which after that.. my windows seems to be treated as genuine.. wow.. hacker.. you rocks! Haha.. so now, I’m using IE 7 and WMP 11, and my windows update run per usual =).. cool ^^.. can relax now.. until Microsoft find another way to break it. Hahaha..

Installing and upgrading took longer than usual.. don’t know why =__=.. until now, 11.30, I just finished to install my last software. Hahaha.. feel satisfied after formatting my computer.. now it’s clean outside and inside ^^.. anybody who look at my computer now wont even know that I ever learnt about java.. (though I know I will need to install it again sooner or later.. ) hahaha..

Ok ba.. replying some emails, then going to sleep soon.. tomorrow will need to set my mood for ureca liao.. :’(

All the best for everyone who is taking japanese exam tmrw ^^

Exam is over!

Eventually ^^ Sem 5 is over! Exam paper.. c ya next year.. fufufu.. A very short summary of exam.. heem.. can say that all are so-so.. never can do all… but nothing to lose, since the exam preparation time is very short (yet I kept complaining why I always be the last to finish exam) so.. ya.. the one I regret most is my Net Centric Computing exam.. I studied hard for computation part.. and study too detail for the theory i.e: learn all the algorithms steps.. but then it came out with the very basic questions: mentions the layer functionality of TCP/IP and OSI.. 10 marks. Yet I can’t do.. the other parts are also a mess.. programming part, I misinterpret the algorithm.. thinking that he was tricking us.. hix.. eventually I’m the only one come out with cloudy face.. while the rest shining so bright. Oh ya, no computational questions are asked. At all. Sad sad.. T_T

Ok, that’s all about exam :P.. haha.. special thanks to Nescape 3 in 1 which has been accompanying me through out the semester XD, providing me with good concentration and good sleep.. but addictive T__T.. I still remember on soft eng II exam I didn’t drink coffee.. in the middle of exam, I suddenly felt dizzy.. and back to home, can’t study at all.. eventually slept until 4 before go up, drank coffee, and felt charged! Sigh.. sigh.. not a good sign, really. (well, afterall, don’t know it’s due to coffee or lack of sleep the night before. Haha..)

So now, AI exam is just over. Artificial Intelligent.. hem. The course title sound cool rite.. Btw, there, I found another respectable lecturer: Assoc. Prof. Michel Pasquier. He really knows his stuff. Another lecturer I respect is Assoc. Prof. Kuiyu.. which I had mentioned last semester. Haha.. Cheerz for both of you! Both has different characteristic. Kuiyi is famous for his anti-microsoft and real programmer.. while Pasquier is for his logic and his commitment to AI. Truly amazing. His answer on discussion board (which has more than hundred questions) is always satisfying. However, still, 1 semester is enough. Hope didn’t need to see him again next semester.. haha.. (I’m not kidding.. this is a killer subject T__T)

What is my plan now? Format my dearest compie. My Kaspersky anti virus isn’t working now.. and there are so many programs that I will never use again in daily life.. (thanks to computer science course..) And since I am in geje mode, let’s list out what software I have now:

(seems like my geje mood hasn’t gone at all.. ^^;)

Oh.. one more thing.. yesterday I got an email… a link to e-magazine. (er, ok, gals magazine afterall ^^;) I like the idea.. the title is Cinderella. It’s a maganize, with all the things like paper magazine, yet clickable, moveable, soundable.. and the design is.. cool from my point of view. Somemore they don’t need to print it out.. so reduce the production cost.. and they can get money from advertisement.. hem.. I really think it’s a brilliant idea. Let’s help them to promote. Haha.. anybody interested, can download their first volume and second volume (yes, they just started) here.

Ok, going to format computer now ^^

Happy Holiday all~~~
