Monash Potato

Monash, mmmhhhmm....

 

So school started for me and...hang on. School? Shouldnt it be University? OH DEAR...

 

haha. Yeah time flies and now im at the last stage of my education life. Aint it scary? Ok enough of those paranoiaa. So anyways Uni life started, first day was nothing much fresh and fun, the usual talks etc. Queue were kinda long for Business when comes to registration. Second day was some workshop, was reluctant to go but still did due to "peer pressure". Wed went for the school tour. Today skipped. Tomorrow skipping.

 

What i can say for engineering is...WE HAVE VERY BORING PEOPLES! I'm going to rot into some MONASH POTATO, just like any MASHED POTATO!

 

Me onbroad the pain-train now! That is all. =D

Unchanged

Seriously, some things in life just never change. Given the choice, i would erase my primary school years entirely away, and unrelate myself from the all of you at primary school. Its been a decade and i cant believe theyre still onto reputations and pls-grow-up kinda thing. I'm gonna generalize here, especially the girls at those time.

 

Man i'm just gonna make the move and stay away from the all of you. You're all still a pain, really, and you literally spit poison that could scar someone's soul for the rest of his/her life. Man how could you even let loose of such agonizing words? If you think your speeches' endless bound would be forever shielded from physical assaults ( well thanks to human rights )... think again. Continue to provoke people, and statistically someday you're bound to get hurt. That fateful day, i just hope you wont cry over spilled milk blaming and weeping for humanity.

 

Mark my words.

Emotions

Ok, pls PLS do not misunderstand this as a emo blog due to the title. Its not! besides, its the complete opposite!

 

I dont know, i came by a comment made by an old friend of mines in primary school, it was sorta preposterous and senseless. No idea why it just riled me up completely. Untill now my hands still tremble as a result of that, almost like an aftermath of a berserk ( forgive me i cant find better suited vocab except for this commonly used term in games haha ). Yes and i did post a reply to that comment, wasnt in a very friendly manner tho, but oh wells i really cant refrain myself from doing it.

 

After i settled down a little, somehow the question "Where'd you get all these anger from" prompted. Well i carry foward with questions such as why am i always so easily angered etc. Guess i can easily conclude there are only two kinds of people that had a twisted past of constantly getting teased and laughed at, one would ended up being timid all the time and you can bet his confidence is down the drain. Another would be overly defensive.

 

I guess i'm the second one O_O Well not exactly pointing my fingers at my primary schoolmates and blaming that, but oh well for the least i can safely say that they contributed to that. Whether its true or not i, myself am still unsure about it. However i am sure i am born with such heat in my veins and they further fueled me in addition to that. Like i said my emotions are pretty uncontrollable, which is actually a very

 

BAD

 

thing. One thing i noticed is anger seems to be the solution to me whenever i encounter any unfortunate event. Getting angry seems to get me out of that burning prison cell, and in the process of that many are getting hurt. Ouch. I guess maybe i'm too expressive a person, and thats why everything's let out. See, now im pretty much cooled down and all the adrenaline's gone. Look what i've done? ( actually nevermind cuz i think she deserves that anyways haha! ). Yeah...i always get pissed whenever someone brings out the topic of primary school years, and i always end the topic with such hatred and anger. I'm hardly discussing about that topic in a pleasant mood, it always ends up in burning flare. Bleh~~~~~~~~

 

Nothing much about it really, just something i really wanted to blurt out after making that comment in facebook to that ex-classmate. I bet the peoples around me know my bad temper as well haha, hey! I'm still working on it okay! Give me time =P

 

That is all. Laters all =D

 

 

Did you just....wha?

Yes! My all time favourite ripway.com file hosting site...just denied my uploading of songs! WHAT THE FUCK?

 

Now my blog is officially music-less, and im currently with a noseblock again. Gosh i hate to have a noseblock, and its actually more like a nose itch. Yeah and im not done bitching. And my hair is forever with like white hair, hey i have actually went highlighting for my air, and i dye strand by strand into white colour, man how awesome is that!

 

Oh yeah and pls dont mention about my blog outside my blog, haha, cuz seriously on one hand it rly makes my day knowing someone actually reads my blog, but if you have to repeatedly report to me what i wrote in my blog...Not cool. No offense tho, altho i know you're pretty much offended now and would navigate away from this webpage for good! Oh wells. Let me vent my anger.

 

And yeah, you've gotta be wondering why of 2-3 years of blogging i hardly upload any pics of myself...simple, cuz im always so unphotogenic. I hate photos, recordings etc. Yeah i know im not all that handsome tho IRL but hey the least i look good in my room's mirror all the time. Whatever is with that, its so random!

 

So im kinda back to a fulltime gamer, and yeah when you cleared almost every dungeon the game can offer, you've got pretty much nothing left to do for the rest of the week until the resets come. That include spending 6 hours in front of computer                     raiding                      , i guess thats completely lifeless in the eyes of...well you know non-WoWers. Besides, i just heard from Jan that our orientation is actually starting THAT soon...

 

and im kinda tired now and sleepy, but i dont feel like sleeping.  Yeah i know another random event just occured while im not done with my last sentence. Whatever im lazy to continue that sentence. And i just realised my blog has way too many paragraphs! Seriously! Like hey do you rly need that many paragraphs? Gosh i just sneezed again. And yeah! I think cuz....not another sneeze...cuz i despised ppl that are way too lazy to organized their blog entries, that the entire page consists of one big paragraph. As much as i wanted to shit on ppl that has blogs that are too wordy, i just realized mines exactly the same! Oh noes haha. Oh well those really entertaining ones are...you know entires with much efforts put into the fonts, colours etc, whilist mines are nothing much but a place for some anger-dumping. And i have to give credits to most girls, cuz theyre pretty good at that and they have this pool of patience which share the same size as Alantic Ocean. ( Wow aint that catch your attention immediately? Maybe i should start making my WORDY blog more lifely.)

 

oh my god, i just saw my laundries still outside in the open hanging. Oh wait theyre just socks, nah its all fine. Oh yes and i went Maybank to open a savings ( all because UOB couldnt offer the convenience im seeking, and i got so mad i transfer all my money over to Maybank. One of them to be named is the lack of UOB ATM machines around in malls ) and yeah i went Maybank at 9.15 AM. First customer of the day to open a savings account! Well previously i toke my leave halfway thru the queue simply becuz it would take me one hour to get my turn ( thats preposterous! ) . And i got a damn ugly ATM Debit Visa card, with some picture of apples on the card. Ewww.....

 

So i went shopping Voir for Vday and got myself a Vmagazine and a Vcollar t-shirt. Just kidding i did none of those. Well my sis came back with a bouquet of rose and a sigh that night ( Vday eve actually ), and mentioned love is all so complicated. Well, its all not that simple for me as well that night, and yeah i agreed that its complicated and i aint telling anyone about it. Rip your curiousity off your mind!

 

Its ok, your flesh wounds would only heal after they've bled enough, so are emotions.

 

Guess i'm off, and ripway just informed that my song upload request just got timed out AGAIN. screw it, i really wanted to upload Katy Pery's new song Thinking Of You. Bah hope it can be done within a working day upon this entry. Oh wait, did i just mentioned "working day"? hell yeah like i'm working =.="

 

Anyways im off. Laters.

 

EDIT: (5min after posting this entry) hey i finally uploaded it! using IE and not Firefox. Gawd, i'd thought Firefox's better? Phail. IE just got its credit. haha.

Ok anyways enough, you have any idea what pain i had to go through to type all those above? I actually opened a website with fergie's Fegaliciou's lyrics and started counting the number of syllabus in a row and crack my head thinking what to put in!

 

"Well...no one asked you to do these"

 

FUCK YOU! kidding haha well i was kinda bored as well. HEY you should really play Fergalicious and sing my blog at the same time, its fun! Yeah i know im kinda sad, and guess whats gettin sadder?! I think i might record a singing of that tonight maybe HAHA. Sigh...Valentine's coming again...or should i say Singles Awareness Day? =P

 

Anyways i went about trying with a long-ranged lens, with my DX body it should extend to 120-600mm ( default 80-400mm ). So the longer range lens i zoomed at 400mm, and the other lens i zoom at 24mm ( so 32mm on a DX body ). Just some fun shits. The left one has been modified by the progra, Paint before so...the quality sucks big time.

 

Peace guys, enjoy Valentine's =D

 

Slipping through my fingers

Slipping through my fingers all the time,

I try to capture every minute,

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

( song: ABBA - Slipping through my fingers )

 

Its coming so ever quick, the time where we'll part our cozy nest now, soar on wings and seek another one. Yes, fxeng sloggi and sara's going off THAT soon! Hell the 7 power-rangers would be broken and desecreted into pieces by then, all then would journey on our own ( except for two sad souls which will be doing engineering, oh maybe another pair in Business...i wonder whos that mmmhmmm ).

 

So the usual emo me went planning for a CNY ang-pau-fest, trying to give everyone their Kodak moment ( who still use non-digital cameras?! Oh wait, there are! ) and something we can look back to 10 years down the road. Well you know the usual them, always giving trouble. One will almost anytime worries you that you might lost contact with her simply because sometimes you just cant contact her in any way poosible; one always give nonsensical answers and puts me on a boiling point; another that the 6 of the power-rangers would never bother to ask her out if she denies the invitation; least thanks to the 2 of you - fxeng, sloggi and hx for giving replies such as "Can can anything also can!"

 

Finally after much obstacles and storms and tsunami and thunderstorm and hurricane and volcano erruption and earthquake and blizzard and heat waves, i've finally journey through the WEST! Where the ancient inscription there lying in golden sparks that could blind you and - WAIT LESTER COME BACK TO YOUR SENSE NOW! Ok ok so after finally much phone calls and thoughts, finally i managed to pull off a perfect date for everyone!

 

Funny thing is hx and i planned to have a Msian Timing for everyone - by telling them to meet at 10.30 for hx's to pick them up and actually having hx to reach at 11 instead. Honestly, you guys totally proofed me wrong. I'm defeated hands down man seriously. Almost everyone got ready before 10.30 and called me to double-checked the timing, thats when i had to send a SOS sms to hx haha. So everything proceeded as per normal untill... "Lester! I think we're past Caltex petrol station already" My genius plan is ruined! NUUUUUUUUUUU~

 

You've gotta thank me for having some insanity in myself, because i sped like mad! I even tried to cut through two cars while on the phone with the guo ( whch is in hx's car ) while letting them catching me doing that stunt. So yeah they came to my house, did some room raiding and was glad to have my room to be ranked the tidies and cleanest ( sara you lose hands down, word. Haha ). So i did a change of clothes and there we go george's house. Nice "year-cake" he has at his house, and i still remembered we're talking about how these foods originate from. Of course i lost my gambling-virginity at his house haha.

 

Next stop was suppose to be Brenda's, but due to unforseen circumstances *ehem* we had a change in plan and went Guo's first. His piano/organ playing's funny when he tries to play like a vampiric song, where i laughed like mad again. Next stop was sara's because we're all trying to catch her mom at home. Sara-oh-sara, all trying to tidy her room up before we enter, just to have me slide opened her closet door and *whoops* wouldnt mention what dropped out first. More blackjacks! Then hx's house next, wow i'd never expect him room to be that much of a...sleeping room. Had to say he looked very alike with his mom, the same cheeks. Hell and his house had those aquariums i always wanted! damn! So finally i got my chance to be the banker for blackjack, and first round me being a banker i got a WALLUP! $_$ and down the golden lucky road i went. They'd never gave up on me, trying to "earn" my money back HAHA.

 

Finally last stop at sloggi's place, and i found out she had this very sloggy pillow HAHA! Whats even funnier is when i drop the pillow on her head, it formed a mushroom head perfectly! Just like any mushrooms found in the game Mario! haha! So i suggested i partially belanja makan at THREE-FRIENDS restaurant, it is then you realized how NICE some people can get at times. haha kidding =D. So finally i felt we're adults, cuz we're dining just like any families - couple of dishes and a bowl of rice for each. Although my stomach wasnt quite ffully filled after the meal, least it was a diffrent experience for all of us. So we planned to go MidValley for a movie, and there hx and i dashed through the rain, picked our car and came picking up all the Mr and Ms oh-so-classy only to have sara complained about how her white shoes are drenched. Sigh~ haha.

 

Next was pretty unfortunate, hx's car went through a deep puddle of water after a turn going to Federal highway, and whats weird is as i followed him through the same lane, i made it out of the water but his car went haywire. Guessed his car was a little sporty and too low-rise. Kids insisted on staying back with hx but the adults thought otherwise ( hahaha! just kidding man haha ) so one of the many ( OLD , i know you'll try to emphasize this. I JUST KNOW IT! ) adults drove the rest of the bunnies back. Didnt end there for that poor fella, later heard him falling into a drain and getting couple of bruises. Ouch poor thing la you ='(

 

Well for the least, i finally have something to remember of when thought about my 19 years old ( 20's saved for Monash, take it as 19yrs old is for Sunway College ). This trip and the lagoon, and hope any misunderstanding and unhappiness or any unfortunate events is something we can look back 10 years down the road, and laugh about it. I thank you for having to be able to cross roads with you, especially when you're all there when i was undergoing one of the biggest ( yet ) transitions in my life, so you all were basically patching up all the wounded scars and making me...one of you guys again.

 

So imagine us like a structure constructed by nothing but matchsticks, its weakened structure if not already fragile enough, displacement of any of the matchsticks would collapse the building. One after another will be leaving this one or 2 weeks, summing to a total of three. So i say we light the matchsticks and burn in such an ever bright flare that is enough to be imprinted on a film - our film - our Kodak ( fine Olympus or whatever ) moment that we could bring with us for the rest of our lifes and let the ashes be blown away so ever gracefully without any regrets.

 

-  "Slipping through my fingers", in memory ( choi!! haha ) of Sunway University College, HaoXian, George, Sara, Brenda, GuoYaw, Janelle. ( i have kept blog entries for 2 years already, so will i for another 4 years min, and trust me i do read entries made years ago <3 )

J One Camera!

So its been almost a month full since i last worked in my dad's shop, and previously it were my parents who were running a 2 man-show. Now that my mom's on a break, so i toke over and...yeah its been a month since i last worked haha.

 

Learnt a lot tho, and feeling a little proud of myself haha simply because now i can easily handle 80% of the stuffs in the shop. Well initially i faced a lot hardship, for my father had dwelled in the photography and camera servicing industry for a bare minimum of 30 years, and I myself which have like only 6.37% ( it is THAT precise! mind you! ) interest in camera. So you could probably guessed how badly i have had gotten bullied by customers at first.

 

Well seriously, how would you see someone without any knowledge in cameras and photography and yet doing camera retails? WHAT A LOSER! So me being incited by all these people casting all these eyes on me, i went learning photography!...from my dad. Turns out ok and i've basically mastered many of the basics. Alright my turn to bully you customers back!

 

It was really quite an experience working, you'll meet the worst assholes in the world that you want to attach a heavy DSLR camera to a monopod and start smashing his head, and also the most unreasonably obnoxious people in the world. Not to mention also the most understanding people in the world and those with immense patience when comes to waiting their turn to be served. Least i've personally experienced them myself,  and learnt to handle them.

 

Just recently, a customer came with a camera branded Richo or something ( seriously, WHAT in the world is that brand? no offense haha ) and asked whether i sell the battery or whatever i could not recall. I double checked the brand with them simple because i mistaken it as NIKKOR ( they sounded almost similar, but Nikkor is only applicable for NIKON LENS, which was why i was wondering why would he mention NIKKOR for a camera body ). Guess what? He exclaimed "Richo also never heard before?!" and shooked his head in dissapointment and walked away. HELL WHAT WAS THAT? Nikon Canon are the leading brands, few others are Olympus Sony Panasonic and Casio. Hell thats why i never heard of that brand! Guess thats why i started another blog entry! haha

 

Also few other things i hated to deal with :

1) I would regard our shop selling the CHEAPEST nikon DSLR cameras in the whole of Kuala Lumpur ( except another one competitor of ours and i would leave you to guess it ), and we would definitely have to charge that at cash price. Credit charges would be applied simply because the bank is charging us, and we would have to charge YOU because our cameras are already at a very cheap price. Funny thing is sometimes no matter how hard we tried to explain to them, they're stubborn with it and insist we waive the credit card charges for them. Next thing i would usually tell them is "would you rather me to have the initial price stated to be inclusive of credit card charges?"

 

2) Discounts discounts and discounts. Yes i totally understood that but i cant understand why you could spend **half an hour** trying to haggle prices, or asking for a RM 300.00 discount for an item costing about RM1000.00. Look, i have trouble even giving you a RM10 discount. Again and again we always straight away give one discounted price and stick with it ( stays the same for every customer ), its easy for you and easy for me, save all the saliva. Some always still insist on discount, they would just be better off happier to see that the price dropped a little. Well usually after i hit my boiling point, i would usually question them "would you rather me to put a VERY high price and let you haggle the hell of it, or a straight away BEST PRICE we could give?". And seriously, the more haggle you ask for, the more we know about your expertise in cameras and your awareness of the current market price in KL =P .

 

3) Customers that treats me like a waiter, im not a customer servicemen and i could only serve you 80% of what im capable of, we're VERY busy peoples ( although sometimes you could still catch me sitting back listening to iPod and stares at you HAHA ).

 

4) Window shoppers. "Hey i want to test that Coolpix S520"..."Hey i want to test with memory card"..."Hey i want to test both P80 and P60"..."Hey i want to test both with memory card"..."Hey teach me how to take picture"..."Hey what are all these functions for?"..."Hey what is the exact diffrence between these two models?"..."Hey i want to test with this same camera with diffrent colour"..."Hey i want you to teach me how to take good pictures at wedding nights"..."Hey i want to try the camera just now again"..."Hey i dont think i want to buy, thank you"

 

HEY, FUCK YOU! Well but seriously, usually i wont last untill the 5th question. Over time i have developed these eagle eyes to diffrentiate window shoppers out from customers with intention of buying. This is not a Padini Concept Store, even if it is, they have a limit on the shirts you can try as well.

 

5) This is one question i hated to hear the most. "Are your Nikon branded cameras and lens original?" Although 10 out of 10 times i would answer with a soft tone of voice assuring its original and comes with a 1 year guarantee, any doubts you can visit Nikon Malaysia Headquaters which is less than 5minute drive ( including time spent on parking ) in PKNS Tower which is just around the corner. STILL, deep down i felt a little insulted when i hear people asking these. URGHHH!

 

So yeah guess thats all, i've had my bitching sessions. What a relieve to vent all my anger out~ phew!
