Recent updates...

Hey hey another "gomennasai" here...
Was very tired with a bunch of deadly assignments and *drawings* (duh luckily the lecturer is so rabun) and tests... So I had no mood to update blog despite there were a lot of stuff I would like to spit them out.

Here's some updates on my recent status...

I've turned 18~!

Yo I'm officially adult now and I can watch 18PG 18SX *prawn* legally now and always XD

That day was Tuesday and I had workshop until 5pm (duh) and when I was back to my room, Kenny, who should have been rushing me to have dinner, asked me to take shower O.o I refused to take (as I was starving too) and followed them to Raymond's room as usual to WAKE him up from his nap and go for dinner.

I entered from Lang's room (his room can be opened with brute force even if it's locked) and shouted "LANG~ MANA YOU?" << typical mah lai style

And there was no response, not even a slight breath. Kenny's emotion was line o.o||| and I thought something was strange... The moment I opened Raymond's toilet door (both rooms are connected by a toilet) and

Booom!

Colorful pieces of "happy birthday bomb" exploded above me and there were a few familiar faces in the room with Chia Soon or Kar WEEEE (forgot who) holding that yellow big cheese cake with written "Happy Birthday JI-CHAN"!

Credits to Kenny and his Sony A300 for this photo! And I noticed that his cam is so sharp T.T

It should be JT-chan though, the cake shop staff might had a typo haha.

I was like wtf what's happening as I never got a surprise birthday before. There were Kar Wei, Chia Soon, Raymond, Hon Shin, Lang, Jes and Hao Jie inside, looks like everything had gone well with their plan. I was in *shy shy* mode and blah~ the birthday party starts~ in Raymond's room XD

And we ended up with everyone's face with cheese cake after a cake fight LOL

And... I got this as my 18th birthday present XD

End of story, back to my life...
I've changed my phone! Finally!
Say goodbye to my old N73, I've got the Tube™ aka Nokia 5800! Opp, I heard someone there murmuring "aiyo... nokia ah? very lag lahh..."
Then you may press Alt+F4 now, twice and trice if you want to, because you are totally "not in my channel" and you are not acknowledged as much.

So far so good, initially I had problem playing HD videos in my tube because of constant lagging of the videos, but Ohhhh it's the theme problem =.= uninstall that theme and I can play Gee MV or Bleach in my tube clearly!

Photoshoot~



I like this very much, smooth and silky *with my new matte anti fingerprint screen protector*

ja ne, please check back for more updates and do leave your footprint here... Thx~

Finally upgraded!

... my screamyx to 1mbps speed! with wifi @ home!

Tested with speedtest.net, it's not as fast as some 1mbps streamyx user who got 1.60 mbps (60% extra) but hey, I got 30% extra, pretty good already.



Torrent download speed can reach 140 kbps (not yet test with bleach torrent)



Direct download speed can reach up to 200kbps!


Well these speeds are not as good as in the library (max 1MB/s speed there) but it's almost triple my speed before! Nothing fancy compared to those richbois with 4mbps connection at home, just to show off a bit XD

Erm about the hari raya photos at maba's hse... will process later beh~

R.I.P Yoshito Usui sensei, author of Crayon Shin Chan.

Remember one of our very first childhood manga/comic, Crayon Shin-chan?
I just bought book no.49 of that which is released in Malaysia not long ago... Sadly and in my greatest sorrow, the author of Crayon Shin-chan, was found dead after hiking in a mountain in Japan. The cause of his dead is currently believed to be falling off a cliff in the mountain.

Details: (adapted from here)

The popular Japanese manga artist of “Crayon Shin-chan,” Yoshito Usui, was found dead in the mountains of Gunma prefecture after apparently falling to his death off a cliff. Usui had reportedly gone missing on the 11th of the month after telling his family he was going for a day-hike in the mountains.

The body of 51 year old Yoshito Usui was discovered by a hiker yesterday, September 19th (JST), at the bottom of one of the steep cliffs of Mt. Arafune, about 90 miles northwest of Tokyo. The incident appears to have happened on the north face of the mountain just off a popular hiking trail on a part of the cliff that is about about 100 meters (330 feet) tall . Mt. Arafune is famous locally for its colored cliffs which run between 200 to 300 meters tall (about 650 to 1,000 feet) in some areas, and is considered to be one of the top 200 mountains in Japan. While there are no guard rails along the cliff edges, accidents on the mountain are reportedly rare.

Rescue workers yesterday were unable to retrieve the body, which was already believed to be lifeless. Today, September 20th, around 17 police officials hiked up to the body’s location and had it airlifted out by helicopter in the late afternoon. Although descriptions of the body’s clothing matched Usui’s, identification was not officially determined until late this evening after matching dental records. A broken digital camera and a beige bag were also found in the same vicinity.

Usui, who enjoyed hiking, left his home early in the morning of the 11th after telling his family that he was going to Mt.Arafune and would be back by the evening. However, when he didn’t return home or answer his cell phone on the 12th, his wife went to the police. A faint signal from the phone was located in the Mt. Arafune area on the 13th, but could not be pinpointed. The signal disappeared on the 15th according to reports.

The cause of the incident is still being investigated, but his family did not believe Usui to be suicidal.

May Yoshito-sensei rest in peace, your great creation had brought and will continue to bring countless joy and laughters to me, everyone and the upcoming generationS.

Best regards,
