No matter how hard I try, I can never get work done fast enough!!!!

Regradless if I have assualt termies, mammoth tanks, landraiders, you name an offensive weapon, I have it, I can never get it done fast enough. Maybe not enough brute force like the saying " if brute force doesn't solve your problem, you are not using enough".

Actually the problem is that I cannot work overtime too much. It makes me sick. Some ppl say work makes them sick and I believe them. There is only so much you can push ahead before falling asleep. *** sees girls running away from me since I can't work longer than them ****

Speaking of girls... will i ever meet a girl which i'll fall in love again? Still remember last year around this time....

Two weeks ago went back to SMK Seafield's new hall to watch a play. Took a very large 360 degree panaramic photo. I'll see if youtube supports panoramic shots or not. If so than can see panoramic view of the inside of the school hall :P

Saw this entry in my 360's blog:
"paanjang16 was absent yesterday... I was smelling something that reminded me of sweat... He better not be playing with a Nintendo Wii... burning calories while playing games is just wrong"

Well, actually I was more playing my computer and killing heretics and purging the planet than playing the Wii. Besides, the Wii isn't out yet, let alone a PS3.

Been using my N80 for a while. So far it is performing well, although there are some delays viewing the pictures. The delay is like when you want to view a thumbnail but it takes a while to load.

I got a new HP. Bought the Nokia N80 from Sungai Wang coz there are many hp shops there and can get a good price if you look hard enough. Decided against N73 coz the key pad too small, no wifi (for something so expensive, no wifi??) and time to change to a slider phone instead of a candy bar phone.

Here is the close-up of my phone in action. Has a very bright LCD screen and cool blue color keys. The transparent case around the phone is for protection but still has openings for the keypads and other important functions like cameras etc.















The picture below shows the number of phones I have used since I got the first one circa 1997/98. Kinda stick to Nokia all this while. My brother used Motorola, Alcatel and my dad Sony Ericsson in addition to Nokia phones. But my brother who usually can recommend handphones say Motorola do hang sometimes and I have seen my dad's Sony Ericsson P910i hang a couple of times, so Nokia is the way to go for next gen phones. Let's see if this phone lives up to its expectations and do not hang like the rest (from what I read on internet forums, N80s do have problems, just like 360s for that matter, so fingers crossed).















Kinda amazing to see how far hps have gone smaller and smaller and smarter and has cameras (N80 has 2, one behind and 1 in front) and has color lcds in a span of less than 10 years.

Puts on Warhammer 40k cap :)

Praise the Emperor!

I now gotten the Inquisitorial approved version of Dawn of War Dark Crusade!! Was in Mids Valley when I saw this sacred artifact. Immediately bought it and brought it home to the safety of my chapter's stronghold to begin preparations to wage war on Kronus!

** Takes off Warhammer 40k cap***

Yippie.. time to game!! My 360 is going to be soooo jealous :P

Can't wait to get the newest expansion to my favourite RTS (Real Time Strategy) game, Dawn of War Dark Crusade!!

The problem is that the "inquisitorial approved" version hasn't arrive yet (most probably in some darn container in Singapore) and the only way to satisfy my urge for battle, like most Choas marines will say " BLOOD!! BLOOD !! I FEED ON BLOOD!!" is to get the heretic version (as in the, ahem version) first. Of course once I buy the original version the I'll purge the heretic version to play online.

Arrghh, really cannot wait.
And I'm sure he can't wait too.

I really dunno why, but my tag-board has since gone offline. I think the company that hosts the tag-board has gone bust, or got hijacked or whatever. Still have not search for other tag-boards to use. Surprisingly the tag-boards of my other bloggers are still online. Must have chosen a more financially stable one.

I was thinking I really should upgrade my phone. I know Changing phones too often is very costly, but what the heck, I need a phone with both a camera function and some high tech stuff to go with it. Need the camera function for work as I need to take photos when I go to site. Too lazy to bring along a camera.

So what phone I had in mind?

The Nokia N73. Has a pretty high end camera for a phone with auto-focus and doesn't have the brick size of its larger cousin the N90-ties.

But the price of one... RM 2200!!@$!@#$

Although I can afford still too expensive. More expensive than my Xbox 360 with 3 games even!

I kinda amazed on the entries made by the Xbox 360 blog site. When you never play with it says the darnest things. Like " I have seen wierd things, but my owner not playing today really takes the cake!" or " I'm going to make you play tomolo, just you wait!! I'm not Kidding!!". When I do play it, it then shower praises like it has been waiting to be played for years. Of it also complains I play too short. Acutally yesterday (Friday night) I did play my Xbox, just didn't bother to go online with it. So the server which hosts and generates the blog "thinks" I didn't play.

For those who think I have neglected my 360 due to the constant rants and pleas by the 360 (as if it has feelings lol), dun worry, it is in good hands.

Enough talking bout my 360, now to other news...

It has been 1 year since I went to Uluru. Still remember the date I was there; 25,26,27 September and the sweet memories there. So happen 25/9 was the birthday of someone I know. Arrive there on the 25, went to visit The Rock on the 26 and 27.

For the post that explains the entire trip, here's the link http://paanjang16.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_paanjang16_archive.html

Here's a group photo of the members in our tour group. Note that there were 3 S.Koreans, 2 Japanese, 2 from France, 3 Singaporeans, 1 American, 1 South African, 1 British, 1 Malaysian and the rest Australians (I think), so we have ppl from almost all parts of the world in our group. Can you match who is from where?

The hardest thing to say to your friends or whoever that you know of is no.

That day which was my friend's birthday I had to turn down an invitation to have a makan gathering to celebrate his birthday was pretty hard one. Imagine, your best friend's birthday and you really cannot go coz you have other important matters the next day. It doesn't help his friends who message me to go is trying to persuade me to go ahead anyway. On one hand you felt you have let down a friend, on the other hand you really have to make this compromise to yourself. Very hard to describe in words I tell you. To make matters worse I let the cat out of the bag by calling the birthday boy/girl in panic when his/her friends wanted it to be a surprise.

Wat to do, I'm one of the first of out the gate when it comes to studying and into the working world. The majority of my friends are still studying and have a LOT of time to spare. Not to mention I need more sleep than most ppl (I'm amazed how far some ppl can go without falling asleep).

Here's a little something I thought about:

Remember the 7 Cs? Whereby,
Cash -Rich
Car -Got wheels
Condominium - A property in the sky
Club Membership - Self explanatory
Career - Stable Job
Credit Card - Swipe Away!
Company/CEO - Own a company

Now there's 7 Ms, whereby
Mansion - Condo penthouse or bungalow is not big enough
Mercedes/Mustang - Not just any car!
Money - Rich!
Manager - Not only a stable job, but high position
Musician - To impress the ladies
Masters Degree - Knowledge is power
Mustache - Err.....

Or Bs, whereby
Boss - Da'boss
Bugatti/Brabus - A Mercedes isn't going to cut it
Bungalow - How needs a condo?
Bachelor Degree - Knowledge is power
Bonus - Stable pay is not enough
Bank - Own a bank

This is all I can think of so far. Maybe there's more to add in the future.

Since my friend wants me to blog more to compete with my xbox 360's blog, here's an entry.

I have added a few more links to some other blogs like my cousin's son's blog, the xbox 360's blog and paul tan's automotive blog.

BTW, I dun think I can compete with mt 360's blog since it updates EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! Oh, and I also do not always go online with it. Sometimes I just play offlince and that's it. Really want to see what it will say if I dun play for 1 week.

Anyway today happens to be friend Woon's birthday. Happy birthday Woon!

My 360 can blog.

Sounds silly but there is a website which can sorta create blog entries that reflect what my 360 is thinking. Let's see how accurate are its blog entries.

The address to it is:

Just got Ridge Racer 6 and an extra WIRED controller in case my wireless one runs out of juice. YESSS! Time to challenge my bro in football!!!

My parent recently went ot a wedding dinner of my mom's friend's daughter. It was held that the Nikko hotel along Jalan Ampang near KLCC. What I heards was that during the dinner the bride, bridegroom, bridegroom's parents and bride's parents (in no logical order) made a speech. To make matters simple either my brothers wedding (since he HAS a girlfriend) or my own (not within this decade at this rate) will have one section for the XO drinkers to drink, a ballroom dancing area for those who want to dance the night away and a wine testing area for those who like wines. The only speech one has to make is to tell everyone about the 3 areas , period.

P.S: Sorry Woon, still thinking if there should be an area for DoW Lan gaming.

Recently on Tuesday there was a war between to Big TV stations. One is showing the Fairy tale wedding reception of a pop princess marrying a "datuk" with loads and loads of cash, the other showing the exclusive interview of a couple after thier tragic break-up.

I wonder if the broke-up couple wished they went for Siti and Datuk K respectively.....

Anyway of all the time in the world it had to be on the same day and at the same time. Your's truely saw both by switching the channels to TV1 to TV3 and vice versa.

My Xbox 360 is now downstairs plugged into a 40" inch LCD. The graphics is beyond words to describe. Ok, really want to post a picture, but that would show too much.

It happened again.

Was in the thick of the action, with a barrage of missiles heading my way, firing everything I've got at the enemy, then...

Or,

Was in the thick of the action, dodging my way out of enemy fire. About to align my sights on the fool who attacked me when...

Or,

Doing a perfect lap with the maximum amount of kudos any pro driver can get. As I am about to the the last corner to win the race ...

Ok, I made up the last one, but the batteries of my 360 controller goes kaput at those very moments I need them. Half-way playing then suddenly need to re-connect the controller. I think I these rechargable batteries are the low end type (1300, the high end ones are 2600). I used the Energizers which came with the 360 itself and it lasted a very long time. The Everedy batteries which are meant for cameras didn't last long either.

So now I am charging more and more and as often as possible. Hopefully I won't get frag coz my controller went dead.

Wanted to do something when I come back..... but sooo malas........ nvm, do tomololah...

My brother and I have been playing the 360 lately. So far my brother seem to be better in some of the games I bought. In PGR3 he drives better and has more $$$ and cars than me. When it comes to Fifa World Cup 2006 he can play better and not tackle everyone, resulting in less red card issued. He even won the World Cup with England!

Anyway, I have been playing a bit of DoW with the new enhanced AI mod. I would say the computer dun attack you so fast and thier attack force is less compared to last time. But they are now very smart.

Here's a typical scenario: I have build up enough squads of marines and pushed the enemy back to his base. When I arrive at his base, there is no one to greet me and the buildings are clear. So I proceed to attack the buildings in the enemy base. During that time I can see the computer calling in some squads into the buildings. Not a problem since my force is big enough to deal with them.

Just then out of nowhere, this DREADNOUGHT appears and I am forced to retreat since:
1) my force has little to no anti-armor weapons
2) my machine temple/base/factory isn't ready
3) my machine temple/base/factory is ready but so far away

So I have no choice but to retreat and see my men being tossed about by the dreadnought. After awhile the computer has more armor than the anti-armor weapons I have and proceed to defeat me.

Here is the route I typically take to office. First I start from SJ, move on to Federal highway, take breakfast in Kelana Jaya, get on the LRT at the Kelana Jaya station, alight at the Masjid Jamek station and walk to office. So total distance travelled is 52 km.



This is the route I use to go home. From my office in KL, take LRT back to Kelana Jaya, use the LDP then take an alternate route to the old airport road (to avoid the crawl towards the Western Digital flyover), join the Federal Highway at the clock tower then return home by Jalan Tujuan.

On the way home today I thought I find out how much kilometers do I travel to and from work on an average day. So I booted up Google Earth and trace the distance from my house to my office and back.

*** Tries to upload picture and failed ****

Nvm, maybe some other time. From the looks of it I can't upload to blogger from my lappie to the router wirelessly. Oh well, next time..

Anyway, the distance I travel on average per day is 52 km. About 26km to work, 26km return. If I drive and average 17 cents a kilometer, I will have to spend 8.50 a day. For a month with 4 working weeks RM 170.00, just on petrol. Not including toll, parking etc. So no surprise of I have to spend about RM 300 just to commute.

Anyway recently someone e-mailed me asking how is Seafield. He/she wanted to know if Seafield is a better choice compared to SMKSU. I told him/her that Seafield is more friendly, the clubs are more active and the facilities are better etc with a little help from my still in Seafield brother. Later got the reply that he/she has decided to come to Seafield to start Form 1. Btw, he/she got to know about the school and my e-mail from my SMK Seafield website. Gosh, stil have not update or perform anything maintenance for it ** guitly ***.
