why cant parents b more understanding? its not like im a hard guy to guess wat im onto. n my arm is burning for goddam sake!
my mom.... always thinks she's right n have everyone follow her lead. especially me. she like to modify the house in watever way she wants n not thinking bout how much trouble the person helping her would b in.
n y do they have to interupt me with something annoying whenever im reading? its like they're against reading or something like tat. i cant even read for 5 minutes in peace. so much for reading in silence...
im mad. its been like this since yesterday...
n lini, im so so sorry bout yesterday.
camps
its not really camping. the KRS n KPL is. still not camping...
y? they dont errect tents. ok, maybe they did. but those tents r commercial tents. u know, those u only need 3 minutes(my record) to assemble. n the KRS n KPL took half an hour n 14 minutes respectively. man they're slow. n they dont cook their own meals(even we do), they dont make anything out of bamboo, they dont have actual campfires(ok, those dancing campfire they do have, but no actual fire).
wat we're supposed to do there was fix some spotlights, n prep sound system. n we got like wat? 4 days to do it!? we done it all on the 1st day, before they actually start camping. we did them in 6 hours(slowly, not rushing. even gone for snacks in between). oh, n we even got time to show off. fix 2 spolights in front of our room to make them look like a hotel. not to mention playing with bows n riding around tokun...
oh, another thing. KPL, go to hell. they're total idiots. offered them spotlights in the begining but shot down our offer. says tat they dont need them. show off. n then when nightime hits, they're stuck to candles. really really funny scene. n then asks us(F3) to fix spotlights for them when our boss is not there. total idiots, u think we're dumb enough to fall for tat!? rejected them coldly, no mercy required or even considered.
n poor KRS guys, their comitees tore down their tents in the middle of the night. n they have to build another bulky tents using nothing but ropes n canvas. they practically slept without a ceiling tat night. the F2s slept in the looks-nothing-like-tent n the F3s slept coverless. oh, n those moron KPL 趁机 move their camps into the torn down campsite since KRS's tents r gone. n they took advantage of the lightings we made n r not meant for them. KRS was generous for covering the expenses for them but the KPLs still rumbe through the site at 1 am when most of the KRS is asleep. i saw a few of them got up from sleep bsc of them.
bout our duty. we all even have time to slack. too much time to do too little stuff. so, KRS found some really annoying way to make our free time miserable. we tried acting for their games. its not tat bad since we get to do things our style. but its still annoying. n then they got us to pretend to b injured so tat their members can practise medicine. hung phung pretend to b drowned n is told to jump into the freezing waters 4 times cuz there're 4 teams. we did everything 4 times. me n nan feng almost got stripped. yes, we almost have our trousers pulled off by F2 girl members during the torturing activity. dont laugh. oh, n thanks to siew wen, my neck hurts for the next 3 hours. i can turn my head left because the dropped my head while moving to so-called 'safety place'. i personally think tat i would rather face the tiger u guys r trying to prevent me from than having u guys to break my neck while trying to save me.
being the forced-leader of the group, i am told to 检讨 my own team which didnt go so well. after the campfire our boss told me to do it n punish them accordingly. gues im overprotective when it comes to ppl who has been working with me for the past 2 years, some 3. when i only stated so-called minor problems, both of them added lots more n have me punish my team for it. of course i wont. so, i kinda argued too much with them n end up sucking them up having to pump twice as much as others. still not me punishing them. so, next time, DONT APPOINT ME AS YOUR LEADER!
the rest was minors stuff. like breakfast at the the tea shop. oh, n lini stopped by to say hello. which didnt even last a minute. guess twilight's more interesting than camping....
oh, n of all the dances in the campfire, siew wen's team's r the most 'watchable'

waiting for the days to pass
its been a really long time since school closed. kinda missed school. i wasnt exactly the kind of person who dreads to have holidays(ok, im not hardworking too. at least not very). to me,holidays r no more than juz time i can spent on personal stuff. but i still get bored most of the time.
as u guys probably known, i've got a job. working at Controlite in Juru. the works there r my favorite, electronics assembly, only on a huge scale. still hv lots of leftover from yesterday...
gone for a ride this evening. missed the rushing cool air as i rode fast through the neighbourhood. its really nice to finally have time to do wat relax me the most. so is normal to c me zooming down the road ignoring the traffic. it means im in mood.
got duty this week. gone on tuesday n back on friday. tokun would b fun, unless i do something stupid.
oh, n im reading twilight. the trip to popular was cancelled cuz i wont drink my mom's yogurt + dunno wat stuff she added. she was furious. so, i found a site where u can download all 4 books in the twilight series. half through the 1st book now. n bella's freakin clumsy n funny...

another day of holiday to drag about
juz ate. mood's been swinging all day long. it wasnt the work, or the weather(its raining). rather me.
watched HSM 3 yesterday. no, i didnt intentionaly watch it, my mom demanded me to watch the movie with them. says its family time. i had to follow or more blabbing comes next.
the story wasnt as bad as i thought. it grew more n more tedious after the treehouse scene. n one thing nvr changed fromthe last installment : the musics sucks. did they ran out of songs n start scrambling for songs? of ALL the songs in the movie, only 1 meets the standard.
oh, n to PC fans. PC fair at PISA starts on 5th DEC to 7th.
the song i was talking bout...
Can I Have This Dance -Vanessa Anne Hudgens, Zac Effron
dont mind the video quality
another song i liked, n it goes well with FF7
Where'd You Go -Fort Minor

told ya i lost my mind...
i finally finished my power supply. n tested it v harshly. even dropped it from a 2 story building accidentally. it performed brilliantly!
2nd thing, im starting my job tmr. im still not over about having a nerd replacing me at digital bay, but i'll manage this then gumble. supposed to start today but my dad 'needed' me for soil moving, digging up a tree, washing aquarium filter n gardening. wonder y im not mad n cursing now.... oh ya, cuz my brain's toasted! neverMIND...
3rd, fixed my mom's computer n bargained a trip to popular n a book. im so desperate for 1 cuz the last time i ever really read a book is the last week of school's monday. reading in library with chung aun n lini.
so, guess life's awesome afterall!
cue the music!

wong's family description
- grandfather: neutral. talks to u bout your mistake n hopes u nvr do it again. likes fishing, retired cop.
- granma: not much to talk bout. she's really onto saving money n stuff.
- dad: outta job, sick. he always tries to b reasonable, not always working as it always get worse. always want to get wat he want even though ppl dont like it. n cracks crappy jokes n gets mad when nobody laughs at it.
- mom: pure paranoid. works for a will n insurance company. being an agent herself means she doesnt hv to go to her office everyday n hence the problem. like baking n cooking. wish to b like the moms in those western movies, baking cookies n hv ppl like them. gets mad when ppl(me n most of the family) refuse to try her pastries or anything she made. treats others like cheap labours but likes to act as a phycological tutor. forces ppl to accept her opinion by making that sound. violators face serious rock n roll music.
- my youngest bro: monkey with an extra primitive mind. he can et v smart at times but most of the time u'll find him drooling n acting like the guy in Ben 10. v girlish, cant do sports. wields the badminton racquet like a baseball bat. an asshole who follows u around n just know how to make u hv a really bad day.
- bro: girl magnet. a pervert(caught him surfing THOSE websites last year n earlier this year). always shows off his badminton skills though he cant even do a backhand. also primitive since he always gets himself into trouble n didnt know when to stop hence provoking others to beat him up(he was a prefect at his school n got beaten up by a bunch of indians). n being stupid n a big moron, he alkways does things tat would also get me into trouble.
- me: my mom thinks im rebellious n lazy. wont take care of the family instead hides in my room doin electronics stuff or reading. not sporty enough. dad thinks im a brilliant technician hence hv me do everything for him. thinks im stubborn n dont know the first thing bout fishing. wat my bro thinks of me i dont care. n my sis... not telling.
ps... go search 'bit torrent'
projects
about the coil gun thing, im stoping it. since i cant get the most important part in making a coil gun, so okay, i can get it, but its only available at KL's jalan pasar n i called the guys there 2 days ago n they said its minimum rm200. if u think tat was an excuse, i dont even know whether it'll blow up n burn or let me shoot a nail into my bro's ass. if it does blow, its goodbye rm200. to save myself from eternal sobbing, im abandoning this project. its already up n shooting rite now actually, juz missing the switch. so when i do wanna shoot something with it, i'll have to spark tat big'o cable which is kinda cumbersome.
starting a new project. building a power supply. its basicly juz a big battery sort of thing but it doesnt runs out of juice. n i wont hv to whine bout not having enough power ever again!
i've built a lot of power supplies before n i can frankly u guys this: "i hate building power supplies!" y? cuz i failed in making every single 1 of them. ok, mayb not. i've suceeded in building 1 for my 2N3055 amplifier. which is toasted beyond repair except to replace the whole thing. n tat i've adi reused the components to build other stuff. n the one i've built for lim seng chong.... erm.... not even close to my satisfactory. since i 've failed so many times in building tat simple of a thing.
for this time, im going for a linear power supply, unfortunately not a SMPS. hey, dya know how complex a SMPS is? crack open your computer's pwr supply n go on woo...ing. its too complex for me. high speed mosfet, EMI filter, chopper, regulator.... i cant build even one of them, ok, i can make a regulator but tats not the point. the point is, a SMPS is really complex n im not wasting time n money on stuff i dont know how to make.
so, linear power supply checklist.
penang bridge run is 3 days away n my name's not in the list. y? not gonna repeat it. laugh n sneer all u want, im not gonna care. juz hope its not raining tat day. god i miss those power bars...

so, linear power supply checklist.
- transformer(can get 1 from old electronics)
- wires(cracked a SMPS lately, it'll last)
- regulator(i think i've got a LM350 in my private stash, n the best part is its a adjustable regulator)
- rectifier(can get from SMPS)
- capacitor(SMPS)
- LED(hmm..... take from school project)
- inductor(there's a really big 1 on the SMPS)
- heat sink(SMPS got it, 2 of it actually)
- switch(got some from lim seng chong last week)
- wat else?
- resistor?(y the hell am i worrying bout this? there r tons of these in the SMPS!)
- binding post
- potentiometer
- casing(use the SMPS)
penang bridge run is 3 days away n my name's not in the list. y? not gonna repeat it. laugh n sneer all u want, im not gonna care. juz hope its not raining tat day. god i miss those power bars...
CMOS battery replacement 101
ok, so this is a post tat would solve seriously dumb problem with your computer. essentially when u boot up your computer n c ur clock has been resetted to 12am or u get a 'cant find HDD drive' or something like tat, u need to change your CMOS battery.
CMOS battery is well... a battery. it looks like this in most motherboards.
this litle thingy power your computer's CMOS which stores your BIOS setup. CMOS is basicly a big IC tats juz a few milimeters smaller than your processor. it usually hv to words 'CMOS' printed on it. BIOS is your computer's basic programming if u would like to call. it stores basic data about your hardware such as where's your cdrom, info bout your hard disk, clocks etc. so if the CMOS battery runs dry, your clocks stop(tats the nice part), then your computer fails to boot(which is really, really nasty).
to change it, all u need to do is to crack open your CPU(nicely of course). n find this battery. its bot the size of a fifty cent, silver in colour n usually near the CMOS. n it is sometimes covered by a black plastic cap.
when u eventually found it, pry it out gently with a screwdriver. but becareful not to touch other stuff. n then check the number on the battery n get a new one n put in in the same way u take it out.
when you're done, turn on your computer. u'll c the black screen with white sentences as u usually do, n look at the left-bottom-corner of the screen. it says "press F* to go into setup". press it. n a blue screen comes out. this is your BIOS setup.
ok, go explore a bit in here n DO NOT change anything unless u're intended to. find a sentence which says "load.......". its usually above the "save n exit" n its different for every computers. u'll use your arrow keys in here instead of your mouse. select it n press enter. a pop up will come out, press "y"n hit enter again. your computer will reboot(restart).
n when u log in to your account. move your mouse to the clock in your taskbar. i know, its still at 12am, but tats normal. connect to the internet n synchronize your time. the time would b back to normal now. if your time is already back, then u hv a really good job of buying motherboards.
after this, everythings is normal again. if you're a bit paranoid, u can always go to the motherboard's manufacturer's website n update BIOS. there's a tutorial there so i ont hv to type so much.
oh, n a reminder. CMOS battery typically last 2 to 10 years. so check regularly if your computer is older than 2 years.
good luck.

choices
found a job. a few actually. all with their pros n cons. since when dya evr get a perfect choice anyway? there's always compromises...
job number 1, cashier at bakery. its my mom's friend's place. 4 bucks per hour. near sunway carnival, so transport would b a problem. n im not good with customer service, so i'll probably piss off many off her customers. on the bright side, i'll get free cakes n breads! n work hour starts at 9am.
2nd, assistant at a hand phone shop in krico. also my mom's friend's place. not sure bout the salary. there's internet connection there, in fact i will work as a software downloader there if i accept. the job would probably b boring since i'll juz sit there drooling cuz one thing u hv to know bout downloading stuff is tat its slow. hmm.... gigaget would probably save my life. n i'll b forced to use IE... again
3rd job,assistant in computer shop at jusco's digital bay. main job is assembling PCs or carry stuff around, arrange stuff... u get my point. probably get to know more bout computers there since all i know r basics to them. n i think i can bargain myself a power supply to play with. im desperate 2 learn bout smps. its so cool! dya know u can draw up to 50 amps from them even if u plug them into a 13 amp socket? n transport is also an issue. oh, n 5 bucks per hour.
4th job, technician at electronics shop(not my kind of electronics shop, its a shop selling tv, hi-fi....). its my uncle's place. the sad thing is, my mom asked me to go help, as in no money earned from working. it in sg. dua, a really rural area but developed fast nowadays. not my kind of work.
5th, office assistant at PBI(pusat bimbingan inovatif). near chung ling. i used to go tuition there but discontibued since its too far away. my mom's clasmate own the place. n all i'll ever do there is photocopying. n i might bargain for next year's notes if i decided to go there. the guy's really nice, n he really knows how to teach.
6th n the last, photoshop assistant at alma. my aunt's place. n this time i'll get paid, 4 bucks per hour. i not sure bout wat i'll b doing at the job, but it looks interesting enough. oh, n she'll take care of lunch! i nvr met her though...
confused, not knowing which one to pick. compromises must b made n im lucky i didnt get a job tat would wear me out by the end of the day. so, i'll keep on looking...

happy holidays, goodbye classmates n hello santa!
ok, santa's a month n a half away, but u get my point.
my class's last day was wednesday. we gone crazy with all sorts of food. it was weird to find most of my classmates who ignore me most of the time came n talked. exchanged emails n phone numbers(i gave them fake ones), those kinda things u do when u FIRST met a guy. lots of photo sessions n games. there's even 1 which u must honestly answer the question directed at you, absolutely no secrecy. still, im fine with it cuz they didnt ask anything too... how dya describe this? yeah, private. thinking back to the begining of the year, this was fun. the class changed me a lot, im no longer avoiding big crowds, im not putting on a serious face n so on...
thursday was nice. we finally got 2 power up the tesla coil. it was great, watching sparks flying all over the place. oh, n watching yinjou get electricuted too. it proved tat saltwater, aluminium foil n glass bottles r good capacitor material. we also make some out of party cups instead of glass bottles. it performed better, n decided to make more. u guys should've seen lim seng chong's expression when we fire it up... he look like he've been drained of blood.
we got training tat afternoon. i've gotta say, its the funniest serious training i've ever been through. starting with the running up n down the stairs yelling 'ha, ha, ha'. its goddam hilarious! n then the part when the speakers was dead. all of them, yes, ALL of them crowded at the control center n cant figure out a damm thing(it was later identified tat our boss shut off the equalizer's volume,which was the size of a screw). n i went off looking around n stopped by the back of the speakers. a ex called me over, asking y am i departin from the crowd, tat i could giv some opinions. i said the more ppl cowding, the worse the situation, n i am making myself useful by checking the wires. n she took it! i went back giggling. burst out laughing when im out of sight. at the end of it, our boss even credited me n lectured the others. i resisted laughing, again.
friday was great. we made up new caps using shaker cups(which was much larger) n fired it up. lini came soon enough to watch the show. the sparks was less than expected, but it served its purpose. things got a bit scary when lini tried to draw arcs, she came really lose to shorting out the secondary coils, which would really piss of the whole team. since the arcs n the spark gap is really noisy(seriously, u can even hear it from the bilik tutorial), LSC got mad. we laughed it away.
yinjou finally got his mixer-amp finished today. tested it out, really good. im juz relieved he finished it cuz he worries bout everything. everyday he asks: 'like this can ar?' 'where should i put the potentialmeter?' 'the transformer can use ar(he asked this 5 times)' etc. even after school he wasnt giving up, phone to my house every single day askin bout wat wire should he use, which port should he connect the audio output from the pc, blah, blah....
lunch. i told the guys bout the me being 'hardworking' as our boss stated. i didnt notice jun an was drinking. n all of them burst out laughing n jun an sprayed lyche on jun lin n nan feng. it was like slow-motion, i can c the droplets flying n hitting jun lin square in the face. the best part is, there r some chinese orchestra girls behind jun lin. n im sure thy got sprayed too cuz they immediately left. i wished i've caught it on tape. oh, n i even got to yell 'coconut head' for the last time for this year.
after duty. junan decided to show off his badminton. n used jun lin as a crash dummy. yea, got shot multiple times everywhere. even at those places which was not supposed to b shot at. we all had a good laugh.
guess tat's wat happen when its the last day of school. i will definetely miss messing with u guys. so, happy holidays. c ya next year...
to those going for SPM n STPM, may your sword stay sharp...

one step up, two steps down
ok, so screwbert finally finished his capacitor for the tesla coil(ok, he finished them yesterday). but it blew up today. a major setback. he finished everything else, n when he tests the cap, black smoke came out. it burned.
ok, so he's planning to make another, the other way. instead of sticking pieces of plastic n aluminium sheets together, he's planning to use glass bottle, salt water n aluminium foil. jeez, should hv thought of tat earlier.
oh, n obama won. dunno wat the big deal bout it but i nvr liked mccain n supported obama anyway.

lost
2day, would b the darkest hour of my entire lifetime. even 4th of Feb 2007 wont b as dark as 2day. too much lost n none gained.
Friday: nan feng blew up my mp4, discovered it yesterday
Friday: kelvin lost my racquet, which is not actually mine. half of it was my dad's. n kelvin turn out empty handed when i met him this morning.
today: junlin lost my external hard drive. reason? he forgot to bring it to the bengkel.
today: junlin dropped my really really expensive speaker. its at junan's place, havent checked it out yet.
today: blew up a really rare capacitor. entirely my fault. im not gonna elaborate anymore on it.
stayed back at school to avoid having to fix a lamp, check sound system n anything my parents can possibly think of. turns out they saved those jobs till i came back. the following conversation occcured during dinner.
dad: tmr u got stay back at school or not?
me: no, depends.
dad: i thought u didnt stay 2day, i wanted u to check the lamp at the aquarium. after u feed milo pls go check it for me.
me: i have things 2 do after this.
dad: do it later la, tmr got time n there's still many things i want u to do.(this line really worsen my already crapped mood)(oh, n guess wat? its mom's turn)
mom: wei, tmr after u help dad pls come help me. jun jun(my bro) is at school tmr afternoon, so pls help me move the flower pots.
me: he's at home in the morning.(being polite here...)
mom: (a really loud voice) ask u to do a little thing oso cannot meh!? always hide in ur room dunno do wat. come out n help the family a bit will die ar?
n tats it. i feel like im nothing more than a tool at home. n even when i feel like crap, they hv to make it worse EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN TIME! tats y i prefer frends to them. they even yelled if i tell my granparents bout the problems in the family. thy say tat i didnt respect them as the leader of the family. screw tat, if u guys were, im so glad to tell u tat u've done hell of a bad job.
ive got myself a really bad bruise on my knee last thursday while playing doubles badminton. n 2day added some fresh cuts to the total count. its now 5 instead of 3. n it hurts like hell. im probably gonna fall or drop something when moving those pots tmr... n then i'l really go down bad.
screw it, now i got junlin begging for forgiveness n doing a crap job of explaining which i hv no intention of hearing plus a the girl from the wireman family bugging me bout hving a bad mood. perfect...
n lini, big thx for ur company.

holiday's coming
ok, i know holiday's r a week away, less for A class guys. but im struck dumb when i get a really good question outta my head. WAT AM I GONNA DO FOR THE WHOLE HOLIDAY?
yeap, i cant sleep last night. the question keeps bugging me. i know i hv a long wait till the results eventually come out but i want something to do. something productive. duty for the whole holiday r only for CO n JSPO. which was only wat? 5 days? so, i want something to do.
i was thinkin of getting a part time job at electronics store, or i could b a tecnician at a computer store. p.s. i heard there's a job offer at PC Depot. but my skill's probably limited compared to those who r working there, but learning while working's good, i think. electronics' store was much less tricky. transport is no problem, since u can get a bus 2 anywhere today. look on the bright side, i know a lot bout electronics, part number, component's max ratings, recommended components(special thanks to screwbert) n probably which store 2 buy. so, its still a hard choice.
instead of working, i might go for courses. im having a RAE exam on december so tat'll probably help A LOT. the ony problem is, where can ya find a course which is not mobile phone servicing course!? frankly, ALL of the course i found is crap. either a direct servicing course OR 1 which includes it. im not gonna service a cellhone for cry it out loud, its full of ICs. u juz hv to change the whole board or u just solder a few loose wires. besides they charge u like 50 bucks to fix a cellphone even its juz a broken wire n they tell u in electronics language so tat u'll think they're so damm pro. trust me, i caught a guy in carefour doing it. n his stall is right next to the escalator.
im driving too much ppl mad these days...
