rambling at 5.30

2005-12-16T13:34:00.000+08:00

Sau Khoon is deep asleep now, its 5.30 pm.I myself, however, couldnt get to sleep.anway, he'll be staying here until he sets of to spain with some bunch of friends.

Theres alot more work on the table, but being a procastinator, i cant be bothered to do it at this hour. Theres nothing due tmrw, just that i need to do some catching up on my reading and re-do the tutorial questions to understand better. have to change, i know. my work isnt that good lately..

Tmrw will be the last day of term.
apart of trying to study, i might go for a lil travelling..

King Kong premiers tday.might go watch it tmrw

and btw, check this out..

just found out abt it. Raya dah lama habis. :P

Goldman Sachs symposium

2005-12-15T09:44:00.000+08:00

the symposium went quite well as a matter of fact.. gotta meet new friends, widen my network, and also learn quite alot about the nature of GS.
anyway,
i started off my day by having a cold shower around 730am. thats the earliest shower i had in ages. hahaha. Finding the GS building wasnt that hard, its on fleet st, just east of LSE.
Apparently, it was a very long day.. we had talks by various people from each division, namely FICC, IBD, IMB, and OT&F. We also had the chance to talk to representatives from the various work segments in the bank. Obviously there was information overflow.. equity, leverage, shorting, M&A.. and all those jargons..
luckily, food was provided.. the food was excellent, and the service ( by waiters) was superb. Well, thats expected,i would say from an established and prestigeous investment bank. making outlays on events like this wud only take less than 0.1% of their total daily revenue.
The highlight of the day would be speaking with the representatives, and also the visit to the trading floor

nothing much happened today except for badminton. It was fun as i havent been playing any sports for ages.
Sundays always have been a lazy-day. If not for nabeela calling at 230, id still be in bed. Btw, i didnt bother to go for malaysian society's football at regents park. It was too cold outside, even when i finally got myself walking towards somerset sports centre at 3.
Badminton was ok, but i played like a beginner. F"king forgotten the tricks, and theres no more accuracy in my shots.
I got back around 5 and as i can remember, did laundry and cooked a late lunch/dinner.Its wierd to call it lunch, since its already dark outside and the moon is clearly visible.

And now, i just realised that i have to finish up maths coursework and do some reading for tmrw's lecture.
I better get going..

A day with some events

2005-12-11T05:36:00.000+08:00

boyy, for a while, i thought i wont be posting any entries here anymore. but well, guess whos back. uhh.. me? hehe. ok thats lame..
theres actually so much to say. itll take me a day if i wanted to backdate all the events that had happened since the first day im in london.
thus, lets just settle with today..
first of all,Im surprise that after a long day, i feel like writing.(not to mention that i didnt sleep the whole last night as i had slept for abt 5 hours last evening)
ok, back to what happened today.
abt 9am sudden thought of reading a book got to me. by 11am i was already at waterstones, browsing over selves of fiction books. they have this 3 for the price of 2 books offer but i cudnt find the right combination of books.at last,i ended up buying one,"out" by natsuo kirino.

later at 1230, as planned, i met firdaus, amanda, farahana and jas in front of Satay House.We had a casual lunch with our Dewan Rakyat Speaker, Tan Sro Ramli Ngah Talib. His wife, Raja puan sri Dato Noora Ashikin was present too (phew, what a long name, its not even her full name).I would say that both of them was very friendly. It was a wonderful luncheon; great discussion abt various topics.. dewan rakyat, suggestions for students, current issues, etc.. and not to forget great foodd! ada sambal petai!.the squid was fabulous too.

And guess what, our name cards are ready.[click here to view the card] Jacob passed it to us just now. It looks very official tho.. haha.. a lil bit poyo when i thing of it again..

...after parting ways...i went to carphone warehouse and finally got my phone, Sony Ericsson W800.woooot hehe..
hope nothing goes wrong... no catch in the ccontract, no mulfunctions ect.

cool day huh?

One more week of lectures and tutorials to go, after which ill have a 3 weeks cristmas break. cant wait..

will write soon. ciao

?

2005-08-23T01:31:00.000+08:00

its been a while again since i last posted...
and of course, there were quite some events that took place since..
i just got back from BTN camp,a short for Biro tata negara. Its some camp abt instilling the pride to be malaysian, the load of being a small-diplomat when i go overseas. some call it a brainwashing camp. But it wasnt that bad, although i see abit of politics here and there. One thing i can say, the camp was fun. met new friends,and the rules arent that strict. The worst part is that u have to sit for a whole day for ceramah abt our nation.. haih..
anyway, i went taylor's to collect my results today and met a few of lecturers. Guess what? i found out that i scored an A for socio's paper3, which made it impossible that my overall result for socio is a C. But taylors had written to UCLES on the release date, enquiring the matter.And, and just as i got home, i got a phone call and my socio result has been revised. So now 4A's it is. I dont care, i want the Star to publish an amended list of top scorers! hahaa.. big headed arent I??

effortless entry

2005-08-11T14:44:00.000+08:00

.. and i thought i did try to calm her down yesterday. the bit to make her happy ammounted to nothing? felt like i wasnt putting any effort. like what i tried was worthless. haih. today i tried to make things clear by telling where im going. guess it doesnt work quite well?
i just hope u will settle ur problem. i would suggest u seek advice from a counselor. a career counselor.. take career tests that can help u understand urself, ur minat/kecenderungan..

will tomorrow die?

2005-07-29T01:14:00.000+08:00

All the credits strewn,
In signifying the end,
But I missed the best part,
Could we please go back.

some words from incubus, 11am.pops up suddenly when im abt to write.
anyway, as in my case.. dont think the credits are strewn away to waste. and i dont think i missed the best part. Im talking abt my part-time job at a&w(M) support center( or previously known as HQ).
tmrws my last day at work.(or will it be?? hehe.. ill speak on this later). finally i guess.. one tiring month of waking up early and dressing up properly.. but i guess it was worth it. i gained a lot. like the way people actually apply their various knowlegde at work. te business procedures/protocol.. how to interact with colleages which are older than u, teamwork..and i wud say the politics at work. conflicts, conflicts and sumore conflicts.. especially because i came in when a new ceo was appointed.
the best part is that i dont only get to learn the good part. i also get to learn the bad part. like the weaknesses the company has and the various problems it is having.
wait.. conflicts are bad too right?? haha

oh yeah. the "tmrw last day" part. well, not to be boastful,during the department meeting today, they kinda urged me extend my service for another week. sian my bos.. banyak kerja kat accounts department. sampai migrane.. hehhee..
but i think ive made up my mind.. ive achieved what i set to achieve by working :)
.so basically, i guess i did a great job huh?? :P bangga sket. haha

enough of work. Im thinking of going back kedah someday next week or this weekend.

i dont have the deeds to this land,
i am trespassing,
so shoot me.

i dont send tofu???

2005-07-27T01:09:00.000+08:00

driving up the hilly route everyday tires me . it feels good to reach the top, but cruising downwards is even better.allowing the car to take u down, enjoying the curvy road is an excellent escapade.. however the cost in the form of gas n tyre wear, for driving up is not cheap. In addition, driving up a slope at high speed, considering the limited amount of time, is pretty dangerous as a minor mistake might result in crash. The car too had recently involved in a major crash, resulting in damages to its engine n chasis. havnt fully assess the damages.
i wonder if i can start at the top everyday?
or i wonder if i should get a new car?
or maybe forget doing this altogether?

on track or off track : back from the course

2005-07-20T01:56:00.000+08:00

i just hope u can forgive me....

exams are ok tho, but there are some though papers. i hope i did well. i need 3As!!! urgh.. oh god please let me pass. hehe
anyway, the cool part, im officially free, call me unemployed .. im free..
hehe.. however, boredom is slowly creeping in i guess. Im starting to think of working. a desk clerk will do.. or maybe join some research team, doing surveys. Maybe i should start writing my resume for and internship.
oh, i got some bad news, my granma is going for op on sat. thats only part of the bad news actually.meaning, i have to cancel my trip to melaka, to meet my beloved izyan.im such a bad grandchild.. hehehe.

Exam next tuesday

2005-05-18T01:20:00.000+08:00

i need all the luck in the world. this is it, my future lies on this comming exam. To be honest, im dead anxious.

i can feel it, she's losing her grip..im not sure whether she loves me anymore. guess i cant offer much to her anymore,cant solve her problems, cant make her happy, cant meet her as often, im going agfiudsga.. when?, at least, im saying wuts runing in my head. its kinda sad. i think i've been putting extra attention to her lately, sometimes i miscalled her, msg. or was it all just in my head, thoughts without action. i want to get her attention, maybe she dont get me sometimes. i admit i didnt msg her much, maybe i shud improve. or issit too late? i dont wanna lose a ffriend again.. or maybe there isnt suppose to be "again". i never had a close friend before. hehe. this is what i feel abt our situation, if u feel i think too much, please correct me.

love sucks, it seems so pure, so transparent, but its not. we're not transparent anymore. we cant talk about us. i want the old us, where we can talk abt anything in the world. dont worry whether wut we say may hrt the other.

ehe.

i so want this!!

----

2005-03-17T08:07:00.000+08:00

its been a while since i last posted. i'm pretty busy these days. but its not the sole reason actually. the mood to write just wasnt there everytime i logged into blogger.
by the way, trials in 2 weeks time. i hardly prepared myself for it yet. another thing, ive replied to UCAS, stating UCL as my firm choice while Warwick my insurance.

recently made necessity

2005-02-22T15:09:00.000+08:00

ive been cut off from the world. i cant communicate with others, neither do they can communicate with me. guess what? I send my handphone for repair, since the NO and Cancel button is jammed.guess therell be no more late night calls for the time being.
life's pretty the same, period.

incy wincy spider

2005-02-17T16:58:00.000+08:00

its raining outside.. outside where u ask? outside of "the web" actually. Whats the web again u ask? well, its the name given to taylors computer lab. hehe.. it reminds me of spiders, hence the title of this entry.
I just finished my ielts workshop just now. Personally, i dont find it much of help, as basically, a workshop is a workshop, where we sharpen our skills.Nevertheless, i am planning to sit for the IELTS on this comming 26th.A reason for me to stay over at condo this weekend.
and shoots..Its only thurday, but i feel that ive attended a straight two weeks of classes...

something for the mood

2005-02-12T02:41:00.000+08:00

remember my past entry, saying that i planned to buy something for the nose? i bought myself a bottle of perfume from dunhill. i dont really care about the brand though.i dont smoke dunhill and it reminds me of my father, as he smokes dunhill.. since when i dont know... another thing, dunhill is abit of a middle-agers brand. oh well,i dont think people wud recognise it as a dunhill just by sniffing.

however,just as i was about to feel happy, i found out that my phone was drenched in water, in my room, on my table. It was raining heavily and it never occurred to me that my ceiling cud be bocor.(note that water had dropped in before ,a long time ago, it was fixed since). Im drying the phone now, hopefully itll be back normal.

today's lesson :sayings

2005-02-09T03:12:00.000+08:00

one may not realise something till that something is lost.

2005-02-08T13:33:00.000+08:00

oh damn.. so this is what called the "writer's block".
lets just put it in point form..
1.its Chinese new year holidays. 2.i have alot of catching up to do but i havnt started yet. 3.i wanna go shopping but with whom? 4.i dunno wut else..
oh, goodluck and a safe journey to my ex-classmate, Khairil, who will be leaving for New Zealand later today.. hope to see u again sometime later in life..

no reason to hide

2005-02-02T13:40:00.000+08:00

hmm, it should have been "no reason to blogg".
actually i cant wait for this comming holidays. i need time off from my hectic schedule.
Chinese new years comming, which means, sale, sale and more sale!. hehe.. i have a few things in mind..something for the nose, and something for the feet... :)

no more access denied

2005-01-27T14:36:00.000+08:00

hah.. wut a pleasant surprise, i can log into blogger at college...

hari raya aidiladha

2005-01-23T13:45:00.000+08:00

selamat hari raya aidiladha to those who celebrate!!

2 down, lots to go!y the

2005-01-15T01:47:00.000+08:00

mind the title, its the mosquitos ive smashed a few secs ago... or issit? two down is a coincidence i suppose..well, for what coincidence i'd rather not talk here...
well, im back homE for the weekends, listening to my mum's dance cd's( heck what am i listening, but it sures cool..try listening and u'll see ur legs started to move..). This week has been extraordinary long for me. wouldnt be suprprised as it was the first week of school, after 4 weeks of lazy-holiday...
a few things at college have been changed or rather i would say improved. Firstly wud be the new comlab, with about 50computers complete with flat screen monitors.Finally, we get to see where our fees have gone to huhh? haha.. The library is a total makeover i would say. carpeted, new tables, and about 20 additional computers been added. A good thing, as initially there is about 50 computers in the library to cater about 5-8 thousand students. But the sad part is, increased facilities doesnt mean that college population stays constant. taylors is crowded as ever this year.

snakeee, i am a snake, tempting..

2005-01-07T02:08:00.000+08:00

..the bite u takee.. let me make ur mind, leave urslef behindd, be not afraiddd..
haha.. if ur a hardcore fan of metallica, u'd notice its from devil's dance.
U guys must be wondering why snake? well, there 'was' a snake at my uncles house in pj just now,( was because it hd been killed right after my uncle saw it..) strange isnt it, a snake in the middle of pj's concrete jungle??..anyway, the snake is abt 3/4 of a metres, with a diameter abt one's forefinger.. cudnt be sure what kind of snake it was though.
anyway, thats about all. I got my hair cut just now. Cant believe class starts next week..huuuaaarrrgghhh!!

oUt of the Box

2005-01-05T14:04:00.000+08:00

is there a possibility that humans are responsible for the catastropic tragedy of 26th dec?? Maybe there is some technology that cud control or initiate the movement of earth plates, to produce massive earthquakes on targetted areas, and to make it look like an 'act of god', or the force of mother nature? heh.. guess sometimes my mind thinks too far.. well, actually ive thought about this since the earthquake in Iran, (a country that have never been hit by earthquake since humans can remember) h
anyway,i'd like to stress out that I have no intentions at all in undermining the power of god..im saying this as some might interpret me differently. Peoples' mind ponder.

Im bored, ive no mood to go out, i cant even get myself to sleep. so wha shud i do?

D-NE700

2005-01-04T18:33:00.000+08:00

hhehe.. finally i got myself a discman!hehe.. next will be a pair of speakers!

2005

2005-01-01T19:50:00.000+08:00

intro:
im preicting it to be a very busy year for me..
1st para:
...went to hartamas last nite to have a drink with a bunch of friends. actually just 2 of em. alot of people there but i bet klcc 's worst.
2nd para:
I walked alot today.. not to mention i woke up early and rushed out to fetch my lovely girl. Not a good way to start a day, with constant nagging all the way by mum.. but i guess some of her words make sense.
Bought ella a tshirt for her b'day.but im still thinking of buying her a pillow from IKEA. heheh..
3rd para:
i still hvt bought my discman. instead, ive been spending money.. haha.. how am i suppose to buy it?
4th para
oh. by the way ella gave me a cd. One of the album she burned is Juliana's theory. Nice band i'd say.
close:
end i guess?

reminiscence of the past

2004-12-29T13:05:00.001+08:00

bOoO!! guess whos this? hahah.. im from planet kripton!i came to take over the world!!!

well, here's me and my mum when i was 2month old

see... i was raised in a farm (like clark kent).. hahah.. kidding. Its me somewhere in kedah.

its a bird,no its a plane, Its Me!

OOopss.. hehe.. guess superboy needs to bath too.. behind me was malina, zhafry and the big guy Bron (zambry).. all my cousins..

hehehe... i found this picture, i dunno whos that girl. Must be my mate in kindergarden. Or.. maybe it was Lana Lang!! hehehe

i forgot which raya this was, beside me was Zambry

observe the shorts i wore the very first day of school.. haha..

Oh by the way, here's my other cuz. this picture was taken recently. he's nick-named mat-arip-kecik.. heheh.. look at the hiphop style! soo not me.. hehehe

hi, its me again.. thats all folks..

from cm to klcc

2004-12-28T23:47:00.000+08:00

its was tiresome today.But it wasnt so bad since i got to browse the entire cm and yet opened avenue-k. surveyed the price of the dicsman i wanted, its rm430.Quite a lot of money i think. instead, i bought a blue reef sandal.
I wonder wuts with malaysians nowadays.. they must be shopaholics as shopping complexes kept on blooming faster that mushrooms. Avenue-K is exactly next to klcc, with an underpass as well. the Curve is another one, just opened next to IKEA.It also got an underpass connecting to IKEA.
oh-jolly..i bought a bright yellow rounded mat for my room as well...

Time spins to infinity

2004-12-20T19:17:00.000+08:00

hows the new background? nice huh??
went to college today. hav sent my keys to accomodation office and met ms vani regarding my ielts test. haha.. she still remembers me, calling me "rascal" for deliberately opted to skip last years workshop. anyway, the best time ill be taking my ielts is the beginning of next year.
Taylors is still lively tho, with a bunch of peeps comming to either get to know or sign up for next years intake. related to that, i received a text from taylors, saying that they would be willing to give rm500 as commision if im able to find a friend to enroll. Sounds like a great deal huh? so anyone interested in the courses offered by Taylors College? (well, we can split the money.. That we discuss later :)..)

blah blah blah

2004-12-18T23:43:00.000+08:00

i have not been writing as theres wasnt much to tell about..
or maybe there is... right when holiday started a few days earlier (last sat), i went to kuantan for a short vacation.. it was nice i guess, even tho i hesitated on going at first. ill post a picture of my lil brother later. sorry there aint any worth seeing pictures of me.
Nothing much happen today. I woke up late as i barely sleep last night which i dont wish to discuss why...
anyway, i spent a lot of time with the fishies today.. mum bought new orange coloured ones and an awful lot of 'creepy-crawlies' to feed the ikan puyu"s.
Ive also been duggin into a book titled "from beirut to jerussalem", written by dr Ang swee chai. An anger-raising and deppressing piece i would say. It depicts the sad reality over the events experienced by palestinians back in 1982.

Exams OverRr

2004-12-10T15:16:00.000+08:00

YEARrgGhhH!.. hehe, finally i dont have to hear mr.Abbots nags "switch off ur handphones, dont leave it silent, dont write anything yet, toilet visits bla bla, late comers bla bla blaaa....".. Anyway, overall i think i did ok for this exam.

Semester Exam

2004-12-04T13:09:00.001+08:00

hi guys. By the looks of the title, u guys might have figure out why i havent been writing lately. Actually its not the only cause. Im currently staying in subang that means no computer, no need to mention internet connection. Taylors on the other hand blocked the access to blogger. So what choice do i have?
Anyway, Happy Birthday to Izyan Suhaila Binti Abdul Hali. hehhe.. ok ok.. Happy Birthday dear!.You are officially one year older. well, i must appologize as i havnt bought ur gift yet. wait for it k.:).
oh, by the way i've entered a new class for the next semester. my new classmates are pretty friendly. One even said we are the one whose not mixing well.. hhaha.. quite true actually. I didnt make much effort in getting to know each and everyone of them.
most of them are chinese and, hmm, in malay terms we call them "anak lot".
well, i guess thats all for now..

hehe.. i did the test again. kinda enjoyed myself doing it.
HmMm.. the results are different again.. although a few questions are the same

What the hecK?

2004-11-20T17:37:00.000+08:00

i did another test on another site(http://www.web-us.com/brain/braindominance.htm) and guess what.. it says,

"You responded as a right brained person to 13 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 5questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your right brain the most. The summary briefly describes your dominance type."

heck? can my brain be pretty erratic? not erotic mind u.. hahaha..

Your Brain Usage Profile:

Auditory : 22%
Visual : 77%
Left : 72%
Right : 27%

Ariff, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and a predominantly visual learner, an interesting blend of characteristics!

You are an intensely visual person, active and continuously searching. As such, there is no rhythm or beat to limit your learning. You are constantly absorbing and imaging. Your tendency to be left- hemisphere dominant, however, creates some difficulties. You continue to attempt to structure all that input and categorize it, at the same time continuing to seek out new input while "reflecting" in what you have already gained.

With your visual orientation absorbing so much input, you sometimes utilize your left-brain focus to identify logical aspects of what you perceive and may become overwhelmed by details.

When faced with situations where you have to rely on verbal input exclu- sively, you may find yourself needing to work more on maintain- ing an "overview" or perspective in order to fully grasp the material. It is likely that "sketching out" a representation of material that you are listening to will enhance your understanding and recall of the material. Drawing diagrams and note- taking allow you to "see" the relationships and absorb them more fully.

You tend to focus on details and are generally logical and organized. You have an intensity which is evident to others and yet can feel comfortable with the applied aspects of learning, the practical.

Given that you are somewhat goal-directed, the difficulty with being so visual is that you continuously "see" new goals and thus may be drawn from one to the other or at least forced to think about them within present structures. Because of your visual processing mode, you are regularly faced with tolerating and integrating ambiguity, a process which disrupts the equilibrium of your left-hemisphere preeminence.

It is likely that you are restless continuously and do not feel challenged. You may well explore engaging in activities which enhance right-hemisphere functioning which would reduce some of the tension you might currently be experiencing.

hehe.. im pretty normal am i? right-handed peeps use their left left-brain. At least thats wut i heard...

Early bird

2004-11-20T08:20:00.000+08:00

check out the time i wrote this.. haha.. its 8.20am mannN! well, actually im up early because i wanted to send my lovely izyan to the bus station. damnn.. felt like meeting her was so short a time.. nevertheless i guess i had fun meeting her..

Special Thanks

2004-11-18T14:51:00.000+08:00

Im still in alor setar, having fun and wasting my time u can say.
Well ,the thing is i went to the post office,( alor star branch). I thought i was lucky that the branch opened a day early compared to the main KL branch. I guessed wrong. It opens only for letter collection. Letters due for overseas will only leave alor star this saturday. Damn..
i wanted to blast out at our old-government-service-thinking postal service when my dad did that first...
Hmm.anyway, i wud like to say thanks to my cute sis in london for her bunches, tonnes, million of help.. hekk.. hehe.. She actually printed out my essay and send it to Cambridge.Not mentioning her effort to find me some facts to write the essay. Nanti when i get there, i should give u(kak maz) a treat :).

farewell Mr. Palestine

2004-11-12T04:18:00.000+08:00

Lets mourn over the death of Yasser Arafat, the father of fellow palestinians. Its sad though. Arafat was the standard-bearer of Palestinian nationalism for nearly half a century who never saw his dream of an independent state become reality. Hopefully, the current successor Mahmoud Abbas would take the pleadge and responsibility to continue fighting for the palestinians right.
However,even in this situation, how wud u not be enraged by the refusal by the israelis to allow arafat's body to be buried in jurusalem? at least let him be buried in the his soil!!

What colour

2004-11-11T03:27:00.000+08:00

I wondered just now, which baju melayu i wud wear for this raya.Its not like i have uncountable new baju melayus which leaves me confused of which to wear. I opt to wear my old one this year. Well actually i did the same last year. Guess im not as enthusiatic towards raya as i were before. I used to crave for a complete new set of attire. hahaha, which after a while kept me feeling all guity.
Anyway, im half way though with the essay. shud be complete by tomorrow i guess. I would like to thank kak mazlena for the infos she got me.
Oh, i just found out that ive used up approximately half of my new HDD. hooo.. that is about 40Gb of movies, tvshows, songs, and etc...

Counting the days

2004-11-08T01:39:00.000+08:00

Lst night i downloaded john doe.Its quite an interesting tvseries about a guy who found out that he knows alot of things except who he is. Ask anything except about himself and he'll answer u in a blink of an eye. But well, he may not be able to answer questions like "when is doomsday.. when will someone die.. ect.

If tak malu, come and join me at my grandparents house at lorong panglima,near stadium darulaman, alor setar. aiyak, forgot the exact address. But u guys have to wait till we're full, then u can finish up the leftovers.haha

AMD vs Intel

2004-10-26T01:57:00.000+08:00

rebuilding after disaster

2004-10-23T01:23:00.000+08:00

hmm, i had my intervw just now.in my opinion, it went well. I dont know wut the intervwer thought of it. but its not over yet. i still have a written test tmrw at sunway college. i wonder wut or how to write so that it would get their attention and apparently serious consideration upon my application. Its been a while since i wrote an essay.. aiyo.. hope tomorrw will turn out ok.

anyway, we, kinda had an argument yesterday..quite a big one.It wasnt really an argument as i was purely wrong, and i admitted.i had always wanted to tell her about it.im hoping that we cud be back as normal.. thats all

here's a picture of us while she was in kl some time back..

terrified, petrified, stupified by yOu

2004-10-20T22:08:00.001+08:00

thats a sentence i got from the movie Beautiful Mind. Nice story really. Its based on on a true story about a man called john nash who was given the nobel prize for his work, the game theory. Its not a theory about games actually. dont really know about it but wut i do know is that his theory contributed much to maths and econs. WUts interesting about it is the movie moves from the perspective of john nash, of how he sees the world. halfway through the story, u'll be taken aback to know he had illusionnnary friends and that some of the characters in the movie only existed in john nash's mind.
hmMM.. well, the moral of the story is; geniuses are wierd and crazy? hahaha.. kidding.

huh, by the way. im anxious about this comming cambridge interview. ive already knew thename of my probabble interviewr. Dr. MJ Mill Gate is his name. the problem is i cant search anything of any sort about him in cambridge's website. It would be some help if i got to know a lil about him, his work and scope of specialisation. if u happen to know, please email me ASAP.
the interview is one thing, ive got a written test the next day. no one knows wut will be asked. thus i cant expect nor prepare anything. demm

FcUk self-aclaimed israel state

2004-10-14T18:00:00.000+08:00

According to forbes magazine, there are now 313 billionaires in the United States, the largest number ever and a huge jump over the 262 counted last year. huhhh... when will my name be in that list? haha.. keep on dreaming... i wont be in that list.. but ill be in malaysia's top 10 millionaires.. haha.. hopefully.
Well, ive not been updating this blog for a while now. the problem is, i felt like writing at the wrong place and the wrong time. Once i have the chance to write, all went swoosh..gone.
i had just finished reading a book about the palestinian issue. It is sad to know that the imperialist power and oppressions still exist in the 21st century.The palestinians are deprived from their land that they had lived on for years.The israelis have no rights at all to claim that they have such connections to the palestinian land. It was them, who ran away, not wanting to protect the land they claim theirs when the babylon empire atacked them. Instead they flee towards rural germany and russia, some to now, the US. They have dispersed, and assimilated with the locals. now, are they people of Palestine anymore? just look at malaysian chinese? are they entitled with the right towards any piece of land in CHina?? nO.
But that was a long time in history. Now the jews are strong, partly because they have support for big nations. partly because the arab nations are too weak and unorganised. There were even wars between some arab nations. No wander they lost when they fought the jews in 1948. It was that loss that allow the zionist to grow stronger. people say israel now has more than 200 nuclear warheads. Isnt that against the stopping of nuclear proliferation that Bush talks about?
.. one day, the palestinian will rise over israel. It is written in the Quran as such, as one of the things that will happen before qiamat.

anyway, lets get back to me. i had also finished watching last exile. in case u guys dont know, its anime. It is about 2 partners who fly the skies to complete missions. their missions are to deliver letters or even small cargos."vanships" are the vehicles they use to fly.a Vanship is totally different from a flying van, if u try to imagine how its like. Its a must see show,the whole thing is short and interesting.

Labelling theory

2004-10-01T20:30:00.000+08:00

dont mind the title. simply what came across my mind earlier. well since ive mentioned it, labelling theory is something to do with criminology studies. To be exact, Howard becker came up with it. He argued that sell-fullfilling prophecy made criminals indulge in crimes.hmm, let say a guy was called a thief my his community, when he cant shrug of the name-calling, he'll just steal. hehhh.... why am i explaining this?
this week went ok i guess. was extremely sleeply and dizzy in class. i had a flu yesterday. glad it wasnt bird flu. that wudnt be good ehh? hehehh
anyway , im back home now, for the weekend. I think i need to mention this. Dr.M was right. malaysians have 1st class facilities and infrastructure. the thing we lack is civic minded; the mentallity to suit the achievements. the reason i say this is because my journey back home just now was hell. the lrt was packed and that people from the next station didnt not allow any space for the ones inside to step out. cant they wait till who ever wants to get down go first, instead of rushing in. the result was human-lrt-sandwich. Thats not all, before that there was this moron playing with his mobile tones. Its not even polyphonic for gods sake.
ok, enough of that.
i have a week of class to go and HHooray, 1 month holidayy!.

Jack is such a dull boy

2004-09-30T01:11:00.000+08:00

all work makes jack a dull boy.. haihh.. i think im going to end up being jack if i continue like this..theres nothing else to do other than studying.even worst, my housemates are workaholics. even tho we dont have any exam this sem, they still study like mad. sometimes i wonder, dont they feel a lack of life? no particular hobby? no particular talent to work on? Im a bit kiasu dont u think? hehe.. well, it irrates sometimes, to see them study while im not. So, i often end up studying as well. hahhaa. thats a good thing rite?
i kinda like morning view album by incubus. never had the chance to hear the album properly before this. Its kinda nice, some slow songs innit.

SuNdaYy waKeUp Call

2004-09-27T01:41:00.002+08:00

.. soorry dear, i know u were mad at me this morning. 12 missed calls..anoo.., for those who are lost,, ela came today and i was "suppose" to pick her up as soon as she arrives at pudu.lemme put it this way, i slept around 430am and she arrived around 9am... hehehh....it was difficult to wake up.
Anyway, we went to klcc and god,things have changed over there.never been to the new tower records, and i totally forgot that i wanted to find damn dirty ape's cd. we didnt do much; we walk alot, browse alot, and eat alot (the eating part was me). i felt like mention this; i came across issey miyake's booth..i want it i want it i want it i want it!!.haha.. hinthint*wink*wink*.. khekhehe.

i'd better go, tonnes of homework to complete and im so tired and sleepy.

Why study Economics

2004-09-26T04:29:00.000+08:00

this is wut i came across last night

There are many reasons to study economics - these are perhaps best encapsulated in recent statement issued by The Royal Economic Society....

One of the things that makes economics graduates so employable is that the subject teaches you to think in a careful and precise way. The fundamental economic issue is how society decides to allocate its resources: how the costs and benefits of a course of action can be evaluated and compared, and how appropriate choices can be made. A degree in economics gives a training in decision making principles, providing a skill applicable in a very wide range of careers.
Economics also teaches one how to extract the essential elements from a complex picture. This is developed through the building and use of models of how the economy and its constituent parts work.
It additionally provides training in the technical methods needed to analyse and understand the economy. As well as their immediate relevance for the degree programme, such training develops the numerical and descriptive skills so many employers are looking for.
Graduates in economics divide into two: those pursuing a career that directly uses their technical skill and knowledge of economics, and those who follow careers recognised as being open to all graduates regardless of their subject training. While there is hardly an occupation in which you cannot find an economics graduate, some areas are more natural locations.
For example, a significant number of graduates choose professional training in accountancy. This is not necessarily because they wish to be accountants, but because the combination of these two qualifications provide a particular adaptable recruit for industry. Another attraction is that an economics degree usually allows exemptions for certain professional requirements. The same is true in banking, insurance and finance, other fields in which economic graduate skills are valued and where they seem to prosper.
Another significant career entry point for the economic graduate is as a management trainee.
In producing articulate, analytical and adaptive graduates, the economics degree is seen by many companies as providing a basis for a successful recruit who can advance to the highest levels of management.
Economists are widely employed in public service: as general recruits into the administrative stream of the civil service and as specialist economists. The major recruiter of specialist economists is the Government Economic Service whose members advise ministers and senior civil servants.
Economics graduates can also look overseas. The European Commission in Brussels and then OECD in Paris employ a significant number of economists, as do the big international agencies such as World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations.
There is also employment for economists in the media as financial and economic journalists, specialist economic consultants and as teachers of the subject within the secondary, further and higher education sectors. Many leading political leaders are economics graduates.
A training in economics is intrinsically useful in developing skills that are highly valued by graduate recruiters. A recent study compared recent graduate salaries six years after graduation by degree subject. Economics graduates were in the top 5% of the distribution, 17% over the average graduate and university graduates as a whole generally earned salaries more than 40% above average earnings !"

Miss me? i missed updating this blog? huhh? did i just say that? the reason i havt been updating my blog for nearly a week was because the damnn stupid server of taylor's has decided to block the access to blogger.com.One reason: blogger takes alot of bandwith.sucks. now now, lets forget about that.
nothing much happened at school, about one third of my classmates went for the btn camp somewhere in johor. Theres no phone coverage, the place must be so ulu. hoohooo.. ill be going for the same camp next year. hopefully maxis will have expanded their coverage by then.

No no, i did not go for vacation, just the routine trip bback kedah to meet my girlfriend. heheh. had great fun hangging out with her. we watched the tv all day, and laugh all day long ( u think thats all? haha.. there're somemore i guess.. hihihi). Hope to see her again in near future. anyway, the trip back wasnt enjoying at all.

At least im safe back home now.
