i finally got managed to get an antivirus software installed in my pc. it has been running without one for almost 4 months! imagine that.
so i purchased a CD with a hundred other softwares init, as being close to s'pore i do have elements of 'kiasu'ness (aint buyin a cheap CD for just ONE software, might as well get a hundred other i dont need rite?)
then trouble no.1, i dont have the decompression software for the file. didnt know it was a compressed file.. tot i got cheated!! lucky got that figured out pretty fast, downloaded a FREE version.. n got the files..
extracted them, ran the serial number generator.. n walaa.. installed..!!
NOT QUITE. now there is another code that u gotta transmit online... and ALL the codes i got from the keyGEN was not working. (after several hours of tryin all the codes) i give up, n try gettin the serial number online.. there are thousands out there... so easy.. but still not workin.
wats next? this is when the killa helped me. i found out its a tad bit more complicated then just inserting a serial number or running a crack program!
so after detailed therapy of crackin the security.. i got the antivirus running.. and now it has slowed down my connection.
i think i was better off without it.
4 months, n didnt get a bug. i think all those vit C's and exercise was better then giving it a jab!

the looming felons II
i got a blog response.. woohoo..
in the sequel, i hear from a friend her version of the looming felons:
*since she calls herself an animal n all, will keep her identity anonymous*
on one of her days back here.. she writes…
-----
the family was chatting outside her uncle's house when some guy pulled up in car, smashed the window of his van and stole his highway transponder thingy (which apparently was worth only $100 bucks and the system was going to expire in a few months too). stupid! there were about 8 people in the compound, albeit mostly the old folks, and tons of neighbours everywhere - still he has the guts to do this. damn... me being a canadian chicken, and not used to this sort of madness, ran straight into the house, with my heart racing. meanwhile all the locals were yelling... hoi! hoi! hoi! running after the car to take down the license plate (probably stolen car too). after that, everyone started sharing stories about similar things happening to them - stolen bonsai, stolen handbag (3 accounts), stolen cellphone w/ injury, stolen jewellry, even stolen bata shoes! talk about desperation. it's scary when the stories are not of a second cousin's uncle's half brother's nephew. now, it's really hitting too close to home - a friend or a relative. man, my paranoia has reached new levels. now u know why i defected. malaysia's a scary place for paranoid chickens with weak hearts.

the looming felons
my mom relates the story to me...
this afternoon, as she was just about to take a lil nap, a woman waltzes into our garden (gate was closed) and comes up to the door. now, my mom is lyin on the couch, no intention to entertain any sales or watever person...
so she just lays back. the lady holding a long umbrella, starts knockin away with her umbrella at the door... long enough to irritate anyone who can sit through a 2 hour argument about bush's intelligence.
so my mom draws the glass door, and says wats goin on?? she just says "oh, can i come in?" for no reason watsoeva.. and her dumb answers continues, my mom keeps saying no, she isnt feelin too well, she wants to take a nap, please get out.
so she stops, n turns away. moments later, my mom spots the woman still in the garden. she is pickin my moma precious orchids!
so mom goes "wat are you doin? you are not suppose to pick peoples flowers!" da lady doesnt care.. continue to pick em flowers n says that orchids smell so nice (yea rite, da orchids have NO smell). after threats of callin the police.. the woman walks out.
later, our neighbout says the lady hopped into the car driven by a guy. so come the talk about recent events.. (yup neighbout gossip):
it seems that in another neighbourhood incident, the maid in the house let in a stranger lady, then some men came out of nowhere, went in and robbed the house!!! yea.. damn...
just a week ago, the teacher living a couple of doors away, got down her car outside her house... out of nowhere (yea, thats where they hide- nowhere)some dude on a bike grabs her hand bag and speeds off. poor lady fell to da ground, poor biker guy got a bunch of test papers! so much for robbing a teacher.
in uni, i hear another story. a fren of mine was right outside a mall, and a car pulls up. the guy in da car says "dude, can i borrow ur phone, i needa make a call.. blah blah blah". so he generously gives his phone to the lad. the guys says, "hey, get in the car while i talk on the phone". my frens asian'ly declines.. then suddenly the driver gets in gear n drives off!!! (yup with the phone)
so now it comes to me... as i was walkin back from uni, on a rather quiet lane there is a car, engine running, windows down, 5 boys in it. no one else seem to be around. i walk face down to avoid contact coz from afar the eyes already spelled trouble. as i walk pass, one of the guys goes "pssssstttttt". i ignore...
then just b4 i am at a save distance away from the car, he goes "excuse me.." and waves for me to get closer to the car... so naturally i did.. until suddenly my frens phone running off in a car story hits me.. so i make a undecipherable signal n walk away. they boys in the car... they didnt do a thing as far as i am concern.
now i know y lotsa people are paranoid. still, i wish it was otherwise!!

how do you know the weather is hot?
1. your bladder is full, you walk out to pee. next thing you know, the pee'in sensation is replaced by thirst!
2. you take a cold shower coz ur feeling so freakin hot. 2 minutes after drying yourself, u stand wondering if u dried yourself as ur drippin wet again. (tip: taste the water on ur body to check if u really didnt dry yourself!!!)
3. you are constantly dehydrated.
4. you gotta carry a fire extinguisher with you, coz if ur out too long, ur skin starts to burn
5. all the plants around you are dead!!!

who would have guessed that travelling to some place 1/2 hour away to sit in a lil room with a couch (that has been "used" by hundreds of other ppl) n a tv n a massive sound system, just to sing songs can last four hours...??
in fact, if they hadnt stoped us, i wouldnt know when we would stop. its like a triathlon, we would push the distance til the paramedics say "sorry sir, but u have left ur legs a mile back"
yes, a bunch of me uni mates n i went to a karaoke session n got me back home at 6am. i am facinated coz the last time i remember entering such a session was when i was 14 in thailand. n that was just for a brief moment coz half were pissed drunk while the rest were drunk n pissin... n no one wanted a lil kid spoiling their so called "singing" with their skimpy dressed gurls on their laps.
so sat nite gave me a new insight to the fun this could actually account for. unfortunately i also found out that me folks share the same sentiment as when i was 14. too bad..
i say sing your hearts out!!!!

with da space, i guess i am open to any email from any sorry soul that crosses this blog path. let me hear it!
n again...
the semester nears the end. at least this time i am aware..
another work due, but this time i had a four day weekend to get it ova wth... being typical me... it stil gets done at the last minute!
four day weekend? yea.. only in a country like msia as sat was labour day, sunday was a buddist holiday, so the government figured why not give the people the two days off they deserved coz these poor unfortunate souls had to have both public holidays fall on the weekend... boy i LOVE this country!!
u can look forward to some sorta long weekend almost every month.
besides a whole bunch of ppl gettin married this wk end, a whole bunch of ppl also headed back to their lil home towns out of the city causing a MASSIVE jam EVERY GOD DAMN where.
so on the last day, 8 hours b4 i get back to uni, i sit n try finish my assignment. in the next 4 hours i manage to get done, only to find my printer doesnt work at freakin 4am. after much fixing, i think old equipment dont really wanna work with the new stuff.. i think its a generation gap, n head to sleep. man, even electronics have moods. wait till this AI thing kicks in....
