Dragon Tales - When The More is Not Always the Merrier
A story of a little boy who wanted to know the sum of one plus one. First he asked a physicist, who said, If one is matter, and the other is antimatter, then the answer is zero. But if one is a critical mass of uranium and the other is a critical mass of uranium, then that’s an explosive question. Unenlightened, the boy asked a biologist. She said, Are we talking bacteria, mice, or whales? And for how long? In desperation, the boy hired an accountant, who peered closely at him and said, Hmmm. One plus one? Tell me, how much do you want it to be?
WARNING: You wouldn't want to read this if you are in a hurry, it's a useless long list of crap I've written to kill my time. You are warned.
This morning was a weird one, apart from the fact that I'll be taking a test (which has become part of my (everyone's) life every Friday), I saw some funny thing on my way to campus and this inspired me of many things. Okay here's how it goes, when the MC bus took its first stop at PA Block... I saw a shocking scene, no no don't get me wrong nobody was being beaten up or robbed or killed or whatsoever, but then it was already shock enough for me. The truth is... There was only one girl got down from that point =.=""
Okay maybe it doesn't make sense, but please listen to my story first and you will understand eventually.
Okay I'm never been good in story telling so I think here's how it should go... Ahem...
A long long time ago, in a far far away galaxy, "FOR ALL STARS, THERE EXIST" (sorry... over dosage of tests...) a star named the Earth. On the 27th of June, 1988, there born a weirdo baby. Everything seemed to be normal and ordinary but in fact it was not so, in a way. Was this baby special you asked? Yes he is, but he was not the only one. And this is only the beginning of a horrific disaster that strikes every single being on Earth.
The year, 1988. Is was the Year of Dragon. Yes, dragon. The greatness of what a dragon symbolizes has been carved onto every single Chinese's heart throughout the centuries, and it goes on and on... It was believed that those who are given birth in the very year of dragon will bring fortune and prosperity, both to him/herself and its family (or people around it?). Independence, leadership, great strength, you name it; dragon is always being associated with whatever good calamity and quantity that a person has. All in all, in the context of Chinese, "Dragon Rocks!", "wo men dou shi long de chuan ren!".
AND SO, a strange, special, yet not surprising phenomenon will occur in every twelve years in a human lifespan; each time the Year of Dragon comes, Chinese will act as though they have been given great motivation or strength that they'd "race" (in a way) to give birth to as many "long de chuan ren" as they could. "Aiyo Sam Gu... Your baby is soooo cute yo... Aiyoyo son of dragon pulak..." "Haha... Nothing la, you can also get one ma" "Aiyo so good har? Dragon wo..." and so and so and so... "Our neighbor got a newborn dragon!" "Oh we must not be left out! Ah Chai!!!~~~ "Cooperate" with your darling and get me a dragon a.s.a.p! No no not "a", I meant as many as possible! And take that as my order!"
Alright you got the word, "Kiasu" is the term. AND SO, one kiasu leads to another kiasu, and another, and more and more, and more and more and more. Okay I call it the "Power Two Theorem", 2^4^6^n...(2n), n->infinity. Imagine, out of 6.6 billion of total population, there are about 0.9 billion of Chinese, and if according to the birthrate of 20.09 births/1000 population... You can expect a triple that amount in the year of dragon because of all those kiasu-ness, so simple maths tells us that just in the year of dragon itself, world population is gonna increase by a whopping 0.3 billion! And that's not all, the year of dragon is gonna repeat itself for every 12 years, and so Earth is approaching its capacity limit faster and faster!
Though it is believed that people born with the zodiac of dragon lives a bright future, BUT, these are the facts that I discovered
1) The year 1988-One month old.
One word to describe, "Crybaby". But for the dragons even their cries are outstanding and
different from the ordinary kids, instead of the conventional "Waaa Waaa" we have the
"Woo woo" and "Ooo Ooo"
2) The year 1989-One year old.
What more can I say, the first birthday in a dragon's life, cakes, sweets, toys, hugs, kisses, sleep, and sleep, and sleep and sleep, sleep and sleep. Sleep.
3)The year 1990-Two years old.
Erm... Stuck your fingers into a stand-fan and start yelling "waa waa" or "ooo aaa"?
4)The year 1991-Three years old.
"Sorry ma'am, we are out of powder."
"What!? How irresponsible! What would my son feeds on then!?"
"Sorry ma'am, as you know this is the year of dragon."<--overpopulation of babies.
Dragons ARE special aren't we? So it wouldn't surprise if we start to walk and talk now and that we are faster than YOU?
"Mom can I yell at you now?"<--baby language) "Mummy"<--adult language) "Ooh how clever" "Hey I peed!"<--baby language) "Waa..."<--adult language) "Good boy. Good boy doesn't cry"
Man... Us the dragons get our compliment even if we peed!
5)The year 1992-Four years old, Pre-Elementary (home learning).
"Come and follow mummy say... "One, two, three, four, five, six..."
"Don't want! I hate you mummy!"
"Don't say that. Come... Mummy give you a kiss, now listen..."
"Your mouth stinks!"
Oh oh... Dragons ARE special.
6)The year 1993-Five years old, Elementary Year 1.
"Darling, show mummy what have you learn in school today?"
"Shit!"
"What?"
"Shit la you!"
"Huh!?"
Believe me nowadays kids especially the bunch after the dragons learn the word "shit" way faster than the previous generation... And I just witnessed that.<--overpopulation of kids that caused the teachers do not even have the time to bother about what were the kids learning after all, even it means bad words.
7)The year 1994-Six years old, Elementary Year 2.
The dragons finally graduated from the kindergarten. And a dragon is not a dragon without some extraordinary deeds on this special day.
"I'm gonna marry you when I get older!"
Said a dragon to another dragon. And another extraordinary answer from another dragon.
"Who cares about you shit"<--overpopulation of female kids that caused girls looked down on boys as they have much more choices out there.
...
8)The year 1995-Seven years old, Primary Standard 1.
"Sorry ma'am, we are full."
"What!? I want to register my son into your school!"
"No I'm afraid we can't do that, cause we are full"
"..."
"If you are full, why don't you shit at toilet."<--overpopulation of kids caused insufficient space in school and frustration among the parents.
9)The year 1996-Eight years old, Primary Standard 2.
"Aunty, I want a hot dog."
"Sorry we are out."
"How about a fish ball?"
"I'm afraid we can't, it's out as well."
"Then what do you have?"
"We have hot dogs and fish balls as usual, but we are out"
"..."<--overpopulation of kids caused insufficient food supply in the canteen
10)The year 1997-Nine years old, Primary Standard 3.
"Sei lo... PTS wo..."
"Yalo yalo, they said if success you can jump very high wo..."
"Huh? How high wo?"
"Above the standard 4's head lo."
"Wah that sounds cool, as they have been bullying us."
And it turns out to be... FAILED
Dragons' style, even they said they want to do something and they meant it, the possibility of them getting it done is... 3 out of 10.
11)The year 1998-Ten years old, Primary Standard 4.
As a result of overpopulation back then in the year of dragon and as a initiative of cutting cost as the school reduced the amount of classrooms designate for specific forms... Students got cramped together, and denser.
"You stupid shit, if you have passed that PTS earlier you should have begone, stop squeezing in this limited space already!"
"The same goes to you shit!"
Dragon's style, never say "I'm sorry".
Naive.
12)The year 1999-Eleven years old, Primary Standard 5.
"What the heck is UPSR???"
"U Pee n u Sucks Remember?"
13)The year 2000-Twelve years old, Primary Standard 6.
AHA!~ Another Year of Dragon! And you do the maths again, another 0.3 billion into the poll.
"Why did you do so badly in your pre-UPSR test? If so you will never pass and have to sit for Remove!"
"Sorry teacher my brain was infected by Y2K last night..."
What said is said, but still we managed to get pass the Remove. Dragon's style, sometimes we still get what we want, by luck.
14)The year 2001->2005-Thirteen years old to Seventeen years old, Secondary Form 1 to 5.
*Censored*
*"Invalid command name, file not found, please try again later"*
Dragon's style, we tend to hide our darken Secondary Years...
15)The year 2006-Eighteen years old, Foundation/Form Six/Diploma/Certificate.
"Holy dragon! What in the world..."
"What's wrong with these people!? Where in hell did they come from!?"
So much as to say, overpopulation and extreme birthrate back in the year of dragon have once again bring these people under one roof again. This is a place between hell and heaven, where in hell as there are too many, i mean TOO MANY dragons gather under one room and cramp altogether in one place all at the same time, and the dragons had a hard time to search for nice food due to shortage of GOOD QUALITY food because of high demand and low supply, and that the authority has no other choice than to drag the tuition hours and make it longer to accommodate all the students as to provide enough classrooms for them; where in heaven as there are too many students in a classroom that the lecturer won't even notice that there are actually quite a number of dragons "escaped" to their respective wonderlands, and that dragons can make lots more friends here in contrast to other people bearing different zodiac signs. Everytime the dragons have to wait for a bus, get up to the bus, get down from the bus; queue up for food; queue up for toilet; wait for using computers; queue up for results and etc etc, they would have to do it differently than the others. Secret Recipe, KFC, Mc D, Kenny R, SP, MV, KLCC, TS, 1U, virtually anywhere, is cramped with dragons, as this is the favorable season for mating too (which in turn comes a GOOD QUESTION, where in heaven is my first love!? =.=). The road is cramped with dragons too, all with their respective rides, Wira Kancil Saga, Wira and Kancil and Saga, and Wira Kancil Saga. LRTs are cramped, with lots of lots of dragons. Concerts K-Box libraries... And that's not all, cinemas would be cramped too as the dragons are all turning 18, they were too excited about "18sx,18sg,18pl"...
16)The year 2007-Nineteen years old, Degree/Form Six/Diploma/Certificate
Nothing much improved except the fact that the dragons have grown taller and bigger, thus occupying more and more spaces. And that their brain grew smaller and smaller in contradict.
Not so "prosperous" to me at all...
And imagine the huge contrast of when nowadays MC bus stops at PA Block with the previous year; now there are at most 4 to 5 students get down from the bus while other mostly get down to PC and PD (degree students as to say); unlike the year before, when the bus stopped at PA, there used to be lots more student getting down, like about three quarters of the students.
And now we even have to fight for space to eat and use the facilities such as computer labs and library and study rooms, Universiti Tak Ada Ruang is the most suitable name for this "Dragon Lair", as I can't really find many good unoccupied spaces nowadays.
Praise be to Dragon.

One of the "prettiest" day of my life...
Yes yes I've abandoned my blog for months... In fact I did not plan to post until I've got everything done (I believe these "things" are revisions (zero), tests (thousands of them), animes (millions of them), songs (zillions of them), mine sweepings (near infinity) and some other stuffs I have to take care of...), but then I finally realized that I was such an idiot to have thought so in the first place. Just what in heaven was I thinking, they were only the many reasons I kept using to evade something that is good to be done. Yes I agree on "so many things, so little time", but then procrastination is not a good habit to begin with at all. At the bottom of my heart I clearly understand that I was just coming out with reasons to get past with the blogging... Haha, so I'm back again, in my latest addition, I will enclose some photos I took with my camera phone when I took a "casual tour" around Subang the day before... HT is a serious automobile freak, he knows from top to bottom about cars (kami!~) and he regarded this place here at Subang (around Sunway Pyramid) as "A City of Car Modifying" in Cantonese. Imagine two kid-like teenager went pass a whole lane of nice cars, I was actually jumping in joy and fell in love with what I saw XD. Frankly I know nothing about cars, but I love flashy and pretty stuffs, including cars XD. Enjoy~
Nissan Skyline GTR
Nissan Fairlady
Nissan Sylvia
Toyota Supra
Mitsubishi Evo
Another Nissan Skyline GTR
Is this a Mitsubishi Evo too? I'm not too sure...
Definitely another Mitsubishi Evo
Can you imagine where did I found this car!?? Hehe... UTAR!!! Holy crap it's a Mazda RX-8!!! (One of my favourite besides Skyline...)
Another car in UTAR, and I don't know what car was it... Even HT had difficulty on this... I think his final answer was... Mazda? ("It's Roadster, I think I have heard this name before... Somewhere... Hmm...)
HT said it is a Nissan saloon...

Mass Call: TIME to get serious fellow minesweepers~
I just don't know the way to describe how happy and excited was I when I found this beauty, a Minesweeper program completed with Video Recorder and Playback function, anti-hack and anti-cheat and etc etc...
http://www.planet-minesweeper.com/clone/download.htm
I even downloaded the video of the world's fastest minesweeper, Dion Tiu's last video when he broke the fastest minesweeping record with a 38 seconds highscore in the expert mode, and imagine how brilliantly he played that game. Swift, precise, sharp senses, super lucky, talent... Just among the words I uttered when I watched the video again and again and again and... And by using this superb program, I was able to do that in slow motion, to enable some learning from the expert :p...
http://www.planet-minesweeper.com/bestever.php?p=ranking
This is the list of the world's topnotch minesweepers... My biggest hope and target for now? To at least enter that list, even in the position of 400+ will make me crazy...
If you are just another hardcore minesweeper like myself, I suggest that you get the Minesweeper Clone a.s.a.p and register yourself at the website so that you can get your name up in the list if you ever break the record :-)

Another year, another start, another adventure.
Look at the date, today is 25th. It's someone else's birthday (ahem...) and yet I ate a slice of birthday cake that is meant for me in the morning right after I woke up at home. It has been this way for many years now (though it's not like 5 o'clock early in the morning everytime...) and of course I can somehow foresee what my parents would do every year. Yup my birthday is around the corner but "quite unfortunately" though it does not fall on the day that I'm home (wouldn't make much difference anyway) and so my usual "mini celebration" (erm... not quite...) has got to be today morning in that brief 8 minutes time.
Frankly I do not celebrate my birthday, now don't get me wrong that I did not get wishes from friends or presents or what, but I meant "no fancy dinner/meal or celebration (you know, like those kinda buffets that we used to attend with invitation to MANY people), no special presents, no wishes from family (they never did, so do I), no candles no nothing". I could hardly remember the last time I really "celebrated" my birthday, was when I was like... erm... 7 or 8 years old? Now that I've mentioned it, I would like to describe a bit about my childhood birthday celebrations. They used to be my happiest moments, though again no fancy meals and such, but of course there will be cake (I never missed cakes every year in my whole life, and I love them), AND the most important part for me, is that there will be tons of (I mean "many") toys surrounding me with the cake in front. Yes I once fond of toys; Transformers, Matchbox, Power Rangers (my ultimate collection), Gundams, "Pasar Malam Plastic Classics"... you name it. My mom used to be very strict and so no computer and video games for me last time, but "mild level" of Digimon is acceptible. So far I could recall that I have stuffed two full plastic boxes (huge ones) of toys, and now they are on display in my other house, nicely attached and posted. Not that I like to collect bunch of any plastic figures or so called "junks" but I actually do have a taste and "class". To visualize this point, I've actually collected almost RM 1.5k worth of toys (Power Rangers was the culrpit, I meant "High Quality Officially Genuine Power Rangers Plastics cum Metals Figures or Toys or Models" or whatever...). Yes, picky as to say I am. All in all I would most likely get some "high quality toys" every year from my parents and aunt (both are my hardcore toys sponsors throughout my childhood). I still remember clearly the phrase "Mighty "Morphine"(Morphing) Power Ranger!", I was a big fan of Power Rangers for many seasons lol...
So much for my childhood memory, of course I did not get any toys on this morning (I wished I could get something else, but none that was present. Not that I would blame them for that, of course I do understand about my parents' financial situation...). And as usual, "Khai Yuen there's a cake inside the fridge, cut it anytime you want and you might as well have it for your breakfast, cause I did not get any bread for you yesterday." It was a chocolate cake (I don't think I missed any "chocolate" too in my whole life whenever on my birthday, I love it...), I mean CHOCOLATE CAKE, because I can see nothing else besides chocolate. Chocolate toppings chocolate cream chocolate wrapping and of course, chocolate cake LOL. Anyway, it was a reasonably cheap cake compared to other branded cake shops, this one is from Tesco. No I wouldn't mind it, as long as it's a cake, and hey it's chocolate! XD
And so I ate the thing, cut it myself, no candles no birthday song (it was 5 in the morning duh, my parents were sleeping...), all by myself. Instead of a "mini celebration" I would say that it was just another normal breakfast, except with that "Happy Birthday" letters on the cake. I had done with it after about 8 minutes, ate to my heart content and put the remaining into a tupperware and into the fridge, and I told my mom to share it with my dad and grandpa when they wake up.
That's it for this year, just another year. But then I suddenly realized something when I was on the train back to MC; my mom has never failed to provide me with cakes every year, well actually my dad pays for it but she chooses it, and yet I've never said that "particular phrase" to them at all. And so I would like to take this opportunity here to say...
Frankly I do not celebrate my birthday, now don't get me wrong that I did not get wishes from friends or presents or what, but I meant "no fancy dinner/meal or celebration (you know, like those kinda buffets that we used to attend with invitation to MANY people), no special presents, no wishes from family (they never did, so do I), no candles no nothing". I could hardly remember the last time I really "celebrated" my birthday, was when I was like... erm... 7 or 8 years old? Now that I've mentioned it, I would like to describe a bit about my childhood birthday celebrations. They used to be my happiest moments, though again no fancy meals and such, but of course there will be cake (I never missed cakes every year in my whole life, and I love them), AND the most important part for me, is that there will be tons of (I mean "many") toys surrounding me with the cake in front. Yes I once fond of toys; Transformers, Matchbox, Power Rangers (my ultimate collection), Gundams, "Pasar Malam Plastic Classics"... you name it. My mom used to be very strict and so no computer and video games for me last time, but "mild level" of Digimon is acceptible. So far I could recall that I have stuffed two full plastic boxes (huge ones) of toys, and now they are on display in my other house, nicely attached and posted. Not that I like to collect bunch of any plastic figures or so called "junks" but I actually do have a taste and "class".

Thanks, mum and dad.

"Sometimes time really matters"
As of May 1, 2007:
As of June 16, 2007:
Sometimes, it's not just about the improvement by a mere 3 seconds or 1 second, but it means a lot, it actually brings about 1 to 3 more months of joy and sense of achievement, until I can break it again...
1. Have you ever tried to travel from PJ to Setapak after classes from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., play basketball for about 2 hours, and lepak till 3 a.m.? And get up at 7 a.m. just to lepak again before rushing back to PJ for class again? I went back to have a "short nap" from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. after that, and then from 9 p.m. all the way to 6.30 a.m... Amazing how I could sleep like that isn't it? Oh my... And have you tried brushing your teeth with your finger, and not changing your clothes for one whole day?

灯灯灯凳!!~
After being "DC" from the online world for weeks (not fully "DC" afterall...), I've finally quit slacking off and have decided to spend "a little" time in PD computer lab to get on with my post, on this filthy keyboard (=_=)... SERIOUSLY most of the keyboards in PD look like someone has just peed on them, often covered with dust (but I don't think they are simply "dust") and "dirt" (uhuh..?). I felt sooo uneasy whenever I have to use them, oh well, can't help anyway.
I've not planned to blog beforehand so I do not have any particular idea in mind, so I'll just get through with this "quick" and "brief"...
Recent thoughts:
1) If I ever "gay", it would have to be L, no one else. DAMN YOU REM!!! (in honor to our beloved L)
2) Is it only me or what? I've noticed weeks ago that ALL of the anime I've watched use clamshell phones, do Japanese know what is "candybar"???
3) I've had a ride on a bullet train. If you ever interested in riding one, you don't need a visa and passport for a trip to Japan, you can get one in my Introductory Calculus lecture...
4) It sure rains a lot...
5) It sure is hot when it doesn't rain.
6) I ran out of games to play... Seriously.
7) TimeNet is a murderer.
8) You can actually get by without getting scold by parents when your housephone bill exceeded RM600.
9) And you can actually push your phone bill over RM600 (there IS a reason why I was DC'ed for long...)
10) If you still don't blog after a long while, you won't get the chance to do so anymore.
11) The elevated vehicle bridge over the roundabout near MC and Nissan is finally completed, thanks to it the traffic there is much more improved and well-organized. This morning I got my first ride-through from MC to PA, it was fast (uhuh, and NO more congested early in the morning). Odd enough though, I began to worry, sure that bridge is to bring convenience and a time-saver, but then it indirectly (and inevitably, since it doesn't make sense to just put a traffic light in the middle of the road which is not more than 2 kilometres) causes the cars to speed across the bridge all the way down until the junction into PA block (and continues after that). Today I've experimented (ahem... "experienced") that, the MC bus was running sooo much faster than it used to be when it takes the bottom road. Let's think about this, UTAR is well reknown and beloved by many Chinese (achoo!!~) and many chose to further their tertiary studies here, imagine many people from outstation or natives that stay in Section 17 or so, and every morning they will have to cross the road to UTAR PA without any assistance from any traffic lights or safety guards (primary school?) or traffic police (?) or bridges (sorry but my english is poor, do you have any other substitution to refer to a "smaller sized bridge"?? @_@) or zebra crossing or whatever... Yea you get my idea here, with THAT thrusting speed of the cars it's impossible to put an instant break in times of emergency, and so accidents have a high chance to occur in the very near future (my humble deduction). Should we start worrying right after it happens? Or is it better to do something now? At least build some mini bumpers (again, what do you call those lines?) or paint a zebra crossing before you open that road! Oh come on Zzz...
12) Ampang Yong Tau Fu is no match to the Yong Tau Fu near the entrance of my town, erm... HUH!?
13) Despite that I've stopped onlining in the past few weeks, I am still able to grab all of Ai Otsuka's albums (except for her compilation album, that comes afterwards). Regardless that I'm updating my blog so darn late, I've had them all... Now? Working on Yui (blekk). I can't stop now, not when I'm bored to death without any interest in games anymore (some occasional hacking in Dota). But of course it is an end to my online routine at home, I can't do that anymore, not that I can't do it at UTAR... XD.
14) Ivan is a nice guy (no you don't need to treat me to a meal or what... XD)
15) DAMN I still don't get the chance to see Kelvin drives!! (=_=)
16) My (T5) and my neighbour (T6) tutorial class are S C A R Y, I can sense many CGPA 3.8+ scorers in these two classes, seriously I'm freaking out...
17) I've managed to escape from a super hot stove, yet found myself in another freaking haywire fridge!! Guys remember how we used to complain about the air-conds in PA block? Now I don't get the same problem here in PD, but it's a bit over... Especially in these stormy days, I'll consider to get a jacket soon... Damn...
18) Where in heaven is my new phone!!? (if my mom ever read blogs...)
19) Where in Malaysia is my new spectacles!!? (if my dad ever read blogs...)
20) Are you guys gonna reserve it for my birthday surprise??? (if my parents ever read blogs...)
21) My new little puppy is CUTE~ Kawaii... (all dogs to me are cute except for Chiwawa), show you some photos sooner...
22) I've heard that SOMETHING (unfavourable) happened on last Saturday (June 11) in UTAR, anyone can update me on that? XD
23) I'm bankrupt this month... Aiks...
24) I can't sleep later than 11 o'clock lately... It's cause I will fall before that, I wonder WHY.
25) I will have to find alternative sources to download Japanese songs, I can't rely on download manager anymore. So if anyone ever have any good sites (with direct download links on the exact songs or WinRAR archive of the original albums) please do let me know, you will be a life-saver of me.
26) Oh, I saw a magnificent paragraph regarding a SUPERB Japanese female artist's information, I'll highlight it here...
"Sony released a deluxe box set for Seiko in July 2006. The box set contains 55 CDs, 860 songs cost 100,000 yen and has a play time of over 80 hours."
If you are counting with your little fingers, put that down, I'll tell you. It's ~RM 2857.19... I don't know about you, but this is my first time in my life that I've seen such amazing fact.

27) I'm starting to get bored eating rice box (I mean the rice inside okay?) in MC alone, really hope to meet new friends soon so I won't have dinner alone at night anymore...
28) My eyeballs are gonna explode in a few more minutes, and my songsdownload have completed, sayonara.
(Oh lord please grant me great strength and courage so that I can come back to this wonderful place once more, for that I've found my salvation in blogging that I can release "something" that has been kept in my soul for weeks... Ah Men)<<--- (is that the right way to say a prayer?)
