YHP error 69 : New Update Required

Sorry guys. too many things to update yet too little time to do so. i'll update the blog when i finished everything this weekend ya. hehe, so a quick summary:

academic info
i went for Cisco Malaysia Netrider's competition, 1st runner up for theory part (individual prize), 1st runner up for overall degree category(team).
i will be busy for CCNA 3 final exam, seminar title and presentation this week.

health info
my body is still feeling not well, quite heaty and tired.
and, uh, having some issues with dog allergies right now =(
been gaining weight which is not a good thing! feel that it's time to increase the exercise intensity and drink the fasting tea given by auntie ann >_<

see yall, bye!

im feeling better now.

i went for my lunch-ner and had a haircut
The haircut lighten up my mood. aha!
or is it because of eunice and nicole?
who are they, 1 is my hair washer/massager while another is my stylist
made my reservation for a hair cut this afternoon, and i deliberately told nicole that i want eunice to wash my hair.
hmm .. Eunice is a pretty girl. But the main point here is, her massage is awesome, definitely enjoy the massage whenever i go for my haircut.
Nicole is my hair stylist for 2 years, yeahh, 2 years. Between me and her, we can talk and share about many things, food, clothes, hobby and etc. and i just promised to give her a voucher to jogoya!

ahaha, gotta thank eunice and nicole for making my day. Perhaps what i needed now is some1 to talk to .. hmm!

i need this.

the very first moment i opened up my eyes this morning, i knew that something was not right. My body was heaty, i was reluctant to do anything. i've been feeling very moody until now. the 'F' word has been used for millions times. darn.. wouldve hope for an ice cream or the extreme mocha to make me feel better.
You must be wondering why i am so jaded now.
the hot fcking weather is killing me slowly, damn it, how much hotter can it be
then, i thought of the fcking schedule i'd be having this week
lets see:

monday: CCNA training starts, need to do FYP and seminar things
tuesday: test, training, FYP things and revise for CCNA skill based assessment, FYP and seminar things
wedsnesday: training, CCNA skill based assessment, finalize FYP things
thursday: training, meeting with Anjoe for project matters
friday: final preparation for netrider
saturday: competition

with all these things in my mind, i just dont feel, uh, well.

p/s: even the fcking washing machine has broke down. this only mean 1 thing, extra spending is required.

all the best my dear!

Prelude.

*more to come.

having a bad day? have a laugh!

it has arrived people, finally!

Retailing at MYR 1,999, im gonna start saving money to get this baby! who cares about overhyped iPhone and overpriced HTC~

more info after this jump: Hello Moto!

what can you do with 5 dollars?

well, you can actually do alot with 5 bucks. What i derived from this 5 bucks is a whole lot of experience, 1 4Gb thumbdrive, 1 2Gb thumbdrive and a qualification to join CCNA national level competition (netriders competition), hee!

the 1 on the right was for the individual theory test whereas the 1 on the left is for team equipment practical setup challenge

the prize (3) in the bluebox, a 4 Gb thumbdrive for each of the team members. btw, i already have the blue color version, now im getting the violet version!

my own prize.. ekekeke!
and, guess what?! it's another thumbdrive, however, this 1 is sold to my room8 for 15 bucks.. wahahaha!

presentation of prize to the team!

and, presentation to me, myself and i!

here's the story:

it was yesterday that this competition was held at my college, just for CCNA networking students. hm, yah~

the rules are quite simple, 2 phases: 1 is theory phase and another is practical phase. Of course, if one wants to go to practical aka 2nd phase, they must get a high score for the theory test.

in addition, there was a embarassing moment in the conference room when 1 of the lecturers, ms Chok was giving us a briefing. She said that last year TARC were 1st runner-up in the national level competition, so this year, she wants that champion trophy to be brought back to TARC. and at that time, she pointed at me and said, "horrr, yeong hui!" .. how embarassing! ><

so, we had our theory test @ the CIT center for an hour starting from 9.30am. after that, the computer calculated the score of each participant and the sum of each team. want to know how much i got? i got 9 wrong out of 50, 82 marks for me! and fyi, there's another student, a friend of mine, obtained 82 as well, we were tied for the no1 spot. Such a coincidence! With that 82 marks, i got myself a 2 Gb thumbdrive. hee! then, before they announce the qualified teams, a lunch buffet was prepared for us! and honestly, the food prepared is more than what we could eat. besides, the thumbdrive and the lunch are already worth more than 5 bucks, isn't it!

after lunch, my team was assigned to 1 of the CCNA network laboratories for the setup challenge. The challenge was about subnetting a network(VLSM), dynamic routing protocol (OSPF) and inter-vlan routing. these are all the things that we have learnt before. but 1 thing we never go through is emergency recovery. and that happened to me yesterday! arghh, sorry CK-san and vincent-san, i admit that it was a honest mistake. i configured the wrong authentication password on the switch. That caused me to be unable to login into the switch interface(the IOS). luckily the invilgilator was quite lenient, she gave me tips to bypass that configuration file. hee. but im sure that this kind of thing wont be happening anytime soon!

back to the challenge, we were one of the 2 teams that could finish the challenge. The rest weren't able to make their network operable. furthermore, i thought that my team is going to be penalized! and it did, i guess, my lecturer told me, our total mark and the mark of another team is separated by a small gap. How pityful! ><
thus, the result showed that we were 1st runner-up, sighs!

and that's it, after the prize presentation, it was about 4.30pm, i was very exhausted at that time. Right now, my team and other teams need to prepare ourselves for the netriders competition, but we need to study CCNA exploration 3 and 4 ourselves , oh dear~

Glory Man United!

woke up this morning @ 3.30 just to watch them in action, we won! 2 - 0 against Italy's Inter Milan with goals from Vida and Ronney.
1 interesting is that Vidic scored the 1st goal 4 minutes after kick-off whereas Ronaldo scored 4 minutes when the second half resumes.

glory glory Man United! We'll march to the final in Rome!

a delicious Japanese dinner.

Well, today i have some free time, thus, i asked for sis's help to schedule a facial session for me.. ahaha.. the session was at 4.30pm, somehow, i reached there late. reached sis's company @ amcorp mall around 4.15pm, then i had to drive to hartamas shopping centre. besides that, i had to refer to the map drew by sis, muahaha, not so familiar with roads in PJ what.
so ... as usual, my session is ultra long, dry skin, lots of blackhead, excruciating pain session, but i'm gonna skip this, it's not the main thing.

After facial session, me, sis and bro-in-law had our dinner at Rakuzen, muahaha!

Well, what they serve? Japanese food !

First up, unagi don ordered by bro-in-law. Hey, this could be the best unagi don i ever had. the eel didnt have that unpleasant flavour, it was just nice!

Second Up, Sushis. [Sis deliberately put their chopstick cover in front of the plate] ahaha ..
i just ordered salmon and omelette only. Yummy Yummy! the sushis were in bite size, so you can put the whole sushi into your mouth. Although the salmon slice is thinner than the sashimi salmon, it was great!

Darn! i always take the pictures after i started eating them. This was supposed to be 5 assorted sashimi: Salmon, Tuna, Squid, Octopus and Amberjack. The sashimi slices brought me to heaven. They were generous to give us sashimi slices which are about 1-1.5cm thick, FOR REAL! Yum Yum!

Are you wondering why there is only 1 skew left. This is because we already ate 1 of them. ahaha .. Then i only realized that i want to take picture. The chicken was well marinated, barbequed to perfectness and juicy.. 1 of the best i've eaten!

lastly, sis told my aunt in the phone conversation that i ate too much until she wants to declare bankrupt..the total bill was just RM119 -__________-

crappppppppp! totally crap!

i wasnt supposed to type this out, but i cant bear it anymore

okay, story is like this. 5 minutes ago, i was about to hang my just-finished-washing-clothes that are still in washing machine.
and guess what?!
i heard girl's moans and whines, walaoeh, it got me nervous there, of course i dont want to potong their steam.. so i just pretend that i wasn't there, imagine i have to walk pass the room 3 times quietly... zzzz
[ to my hsmate: next time when you and your gf wanna make out, bagi tahu la dulu, terkejut la aku, tak boleh tong sial -____ - ]

while i'm typing this sentence, they're done, because i heard someone opened the door -____-

heee!

Can you guess what are these?
1. They're not Kaya Pau
2. They're not Lotus Pau
3. They're not BIG Pau
4. They're not Beef Pau
5. They're not Vege Pau
6. They're not Yet Zi Mei BIG Pau
7. They're not Chicken Pau
8. They're not Siu Long Pau
9. They're not Plain Pau either

yeahh! this time you got it correct! they're Char Siew Pau :D

eee? why is there a stain?

first of all, darn you fatty-lun, cant you tell me your plan earlier! furthermore, you are always flippant when organizing activites, please be serious next time! if you had tell me that there really is an activity in a SERIOUS manner, i'd be having fun with you guys right now instead of typing this blog in taiping. *yawns

today is uh... 7th of march? results are out...
can you help me rub that stain off behind that A for the 3rd item from the last? grrrr! stubborn stain!

my breakfast, hee!

What to do when you come back to taiping? go for glutinous rice with chicken ( loh mai gai ) and char siew pau of course!

the best place for loh mai gai : golden dragon ( besides CIMB bank at town center )
the best place for char siew pau : the bazaar near my house in Pokok Assam

i can sense my pau's are coming... ekekeke

jeng jeng jeng

i did mention that i'm craving for cakes right, didn't i ? here's a little reward for myself :D



and now... i want Char Siew Pau!

The flaw in the system

i've been really discontented for the last few days is all because of bias.

okay, thing's like this. All computer science/IT students must go for their 6 months industrial training after current semester. Forms were filled, resume was submitted. i've selected some of the companies that i'm interested in, eg. HSBC, Accenture, Swisslog and Silverlake. Of course, the pays vary with RM1387, RM1000, RM1000 and RM 600 respectively.

Last December i was assigned for an interview with Swisslog. i was kinda disappointed that i never managed to land the job, but ck-san and another 3 Information system engineering students got the job offer. NEVERMIND!
Then i was hoping that they(the lecturers) could assign me to HSBC or Accenture. Few days later, Accenture was removed from the industrial training list. Reason unknown. NEVERMIND!
i cleared my minds, set my sights on getting a job at HSBC.
To my amazement, few days later, i was informed that they have arranged an interview for me with Silverlake, the banking software giant in Malaysia [ they provide the systems for 2 of 3 Singapore's banks, UOB bank, OCBC Bank ].
after a stress-free interview, they have offered me the job offer. Of course, i accepted it with haste. As Hokkien always say, "Get the prawns when fishes are unavailable"
In addition, i realized something, they were never going to assign me to HSBC. This is due to that the interviewee shortlist for HSBC appeared 1 day after i received the notification to go to Silverlake. DARN!

Now, you must be wondering why i say that it is a flaw. 1 simple reason, Requirements.
HSBC, Accenture and Swisslog require students that have achieved more than 3.0 CGPA. i'm not being proud here, but i certainly have the credentials to go to one of these companies. 3.924 CGPA for diploma and 3.75 CGPA for advance diploma. im still wondering why am i not being assigned to HSBC. Instead, they assigned 1 of the girls in my course to go for the interview, and she didnt get the job offer.

GERAM SIAL! RM 1387 and RM 600 have quite a huge gap in between.

Bias created all of these. The lecturer who is responsible for all these assignments taught the whole Information System Engineering course. Thus, she knows all of her students very well. and, of course, if you're a lecturer who know your students well, you will certainly send the best ones to all the top companies. Human are indeed selfish.

the 1st of all to come

Hail the Devils! it was a goalless draw after 90 minutes. However, we have snatched it after a 4-1 penalties shootout. Viva Manchester United!

*gaspsssss*

due to the brilliant decision made by me and my final year project group mate, ck-san, we have brought ourselves Plenty of obstacles. The 2 things above are the vital ones.

whoever thought that multimedia information system is so different from the common ISes. We had embarassed ourselves in front of our supervisor, anjoe-san that day by indicating that we are to implement a Human Resource Multimedia Information System. A lot of technical questions were heading towards us, leaving both of us hungry for words and answers.
Why? We never had a thorough research. Now you know why.
the most obvious question that i still remember which is "the query to retrieve multimedia is different from the usual 1 right? how about the multmedia data model?" ... darn... kena pawned 9 9 6.

Thus, after that day, i borrowed "Multimedia Database" from the library. whoa! how lucky i was to be able to borrow a book like this from an outdated library. In case you dont know, the latest framework to develop an windows application is .Net 3.5, however, the books available in the library are only limited to .Net 1.1 and .Net 2.0. *yawns.

i've gone through 6 chapters now, discovering terms i have never heard of : Ontology, latent semantic indexing, (agglomerative, divisive, polythetic, monothetic, hard, fuzzy, deterministic and stochastic) clustering, Euclidean distance, Mahalanobis distance, Principal Component Analysis..........

Oh! Tuhan Aku!
