TYhis is a post using my now "brainwashed" home computer. I have to format it coz it was beginning to lag like a snail and Internet explorer is unusable because it keeps having pop-ups and other unessary toolbars on it.
From the software I installed so far, I think I am leaning to open source software then expensive commercial software. I installed mozilla thunderbird instead of M'soft outlook, firefox instead of IE, winamp instead of WMP, Openoffice instead of MS office and Foxit Reader instead of Adobe... what is the Adobe's PDF reader again? .. Ya, Acrobat. Try it, Foxit Reader is WAAAYYY better.
Right now looking for ads about jobs in the newspaper. Applied to some, with little response from any so far. Hopefully after new year things gets better.

Wifi problem
Right now the only way I can surf using my laptop is using the home wifi. It is provided by a router with an in-built modem that supports wifi and up to 4 Lan ports. So far the modem is very good as it can connect to internet easily and is xbox live friendly (as in no need to do advanced settings to connect).
The problem now is... WHY THE HECK THE SIGNAL KEEP DROPPING OUT FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON???!?! Definetely not the walls since it is quite near the router. I think could be the internet connection, if it drops, so does the wifi signal. Or maybe after I set the WEP (wireless encrpytion) the problem occured. Or maybe because my brother downloads stuff like crazy. But late at night when I am surfing and my brother is asleep no problem with the line.
This problem annoys me since it is very bad to talk via msn. Send 1 msg, disconnect and then you have to send again since the person you msg thought you disconnect. Then when the person wants to send msg, you disconnect and he/she can't send the msg. Unlike ICQ msn can't send pm when the receiver is offline. GRRRR...

2k5 in review
Since my brother made a post reviewing his life (any better word to say it ? :P) in the year 2005, I not to be outdone decide to post about myself what I did in the year 2005.
The first part of 2005 (and the month before it, Dec 2k4) was the first time I ever work to earn money and most importantly experience in the real world. I did practical training in a factory in Shah Alam as part of the requirement of my degree where I took the role as a trainee engineer. Basically my job was to ensure the production line is running smoothly and to save manpower and production cost as much as possible. But the most important thing bout working is getting along with ppl and getting the job done as soon as ppl and learn how to handle things without any guidance at all. Still remember vividly the person I'm under saying that I got to figure out what to do for myself and not simply wait and listen for instructions. Other things are pretty minor like braving the traffic to work, leaving home early and coming back home late (well, not very late) and finding out just how hard to support the type of lifestyle I'm without relying on my walking banks (hint: they raise me).
2k5 also marked the final year of my degree. Very time consuming and laborious work to complete the final year project of my degree. Late nights, working long hours during holidays, big arguments with project mates, supervisor oveaseas for half a year, been there done that. But it was done finally and with good grade to boot. The seminar went well, the exhibition went well and the final report was printed and send to Finland (where our supervisor was at the time) safely to be graded.
During my final year I fallen in love yet again after I first did 4 years ago when I was in Form 5. Four years is a long time to forget and get on with chasing another girl. Fortunately, I had more success this time as I managed to to kept in contact with her compared to last time where I totally forgotten to take note of her contact number. This time I tried not to repeat the mistakes that cost me dearly last time. But still, I still managed to screw up half way when things were looking good. Thanks to the advice of some friends, I finally learn what I should not have done. The good news is that I did went out with her once after my debacle...
I travelled more around Australia in 2005. Went with my friends in a rented car and did day trips to locations around Adelaide. The first day we went to Barrosa valley where I ended up with 2 bottles of sprakling juice, 1 bottle of red wine and 2 bottles of liquor. Second day went to Murray bridge and visited the Murraylands. Third day drove all the way to Port Augusta. Then during the semester break in semester 2, we went to Uluru on a backpacking trip. First time slept under the stars, literally. Fallen in love with a Korean girl on the Uluru trip but found out she was not single, priceless.
