IXUS 60

Life's rewarding. Bought a new digicam from sg. wang, so i decided to retake the lousy photo i've been posting all these while.


from: "Missing people: Eddie"












from: "New Hobbies"


from: "Battle-Horn Sounded!"



Short talk:
    It has been raining all day. Somebody once said: every drop from sky contains a blessing from others.

    I guess that's why rain brings life.


对你有感觉




    我才深刻体会 对爱感到胆却
    还好有懂我的你 给我安慰



    看你失落的脸 又在为爱憔悴
    我心痛的感觉竟如此强烈



    眼角的泪它给过谁


    伤透了心也无所谓


    我会愿意 静静的陪在你身边



    如果说爱已不可违


    那我宁愿藏心里面


    其实我害怕 会失去你的感觉



    怎么会 开始对你有了感觉
    又深怕朋友默契转身不见
    矛盾着 犹豫不决
    没准备 跨越爱的界限

    怎么会 开始对你有了感觉
    深陷朋友恋人之间的危险
    进与退 被爱包围
    谁犯规 都狼狈
    谁能解围 让一切完美

    怎么会 开始对你有了感觉
    深陷朋友恋人之间的危险
    你和我 拥抱瞬间
    不后悔 这暧昧
    星光唯美 把爱放心里面





Thanks doggy..

Windows Media Player 11 Beta Release!


Eddie: Prepare to be amazed..





Streamlining and shortcuts
To simplify the Windows Media Player interface, the classic menus are now turned off by default, but still accessible by right-clicking anywhere on the Player's frame.





Fast access to settings
Right-click or click the down arrow that is assigned to each activity tab (Now Playing, Library, Rip, Burn, and Sync) to reveal menu options that are relevant to each respective tab. This new feature offers quick access to the most common Player settings.





Universal back and forward buttons
Navigating Windows Media Player is now easier than ever with back and forward buttons located in the top-left corner. Simply flip back and forth between the various screens to retrace your steps or get back to a previous task.





Revamped playback controls
The new playback controls are easier to find and use and feature improved repeat, shuffle, and full-screen options.



Status area
With just one click, you can change the look of the area in the lower-left corner of the Player to a thumbnail view of an equalizer, album art, or playback status.






Eddie: Metalic-Black skin and Deep-sea-blue buttons! That is way too cooool.. Looking at it makes me reminds me of LG Flatron Slim monitor.



Elegent.




It's just a Beta release so use it at your own risk.

Enjoy.

Kelly Clarkson - Because of you



Kelly Clarkson
Breakaway











    Because Of You

    I will not make the same mistakes that you did
    I will not let myself
    Cause my heart so much misery
    I will not break the way you did,
    You fell so hard
    I've learned the hard way
    To never let it get that far

    Because of you
    I never stray too far from the sidewalk
    Because of you
    I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
    Because of you
    I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
    Because of you
    I am afraid

    I lose my way
    And it's not too long before you point it out
    I cannot cry
    Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
    I'm forced to fake
    A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
    My heart can't possibly break
    When it wasn't even whole to start with

    Because of you
    I never stray too far from the sidewalk
    Because of you
    I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
    Because of you
    I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
    Because of you
    I am afraid

    I watched you die
    I heard you cry every night in your sleep
    I was so young
    You should have known better than to lean on me
    You never thought of anyone else
    You just saw your pain
    And now I cry in the middle of the night
    For the same damn thing

    Because of you
    I never stray too far from the sidewalk
    Because of you
    I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
    Because of you
    I try my hardest just to forget everything
    Because of you
    I don't know how to let anyone else in
    Because of you
    I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
    Because of you
    I am afraid

    Because of you
    Because of you



Weeks before i heard this song in CitiLiner on my way to colleuge. It's a world-wide hit broadcast over and over again, so i would have lied if i said i never listen to this song. I did, but never paid attention.

"oh well, this is a touch song.."


This time i listen to it word-by-word. It nearly caught my tears.

Luckly it never fell down, i dint bring tissue you know..
^^


I dedicate this song to those who lead a life whom nobody else ever wants to.

Good luck.

周杰伦 2006年全新大碟 依然范特西 (Still Fantasy)



The hottest topic discussed over the net and chinese radio station, and now it's on Eddie's Snippets.





    新专辑《依然范特西 》即将在9月8号全球发行!

    想像依然无限大 感觉依然说不完 音乐依然范特西..

    亚洲天王 周杰伦 2006年全新大碟 依然范特西 (Still Fantasy) 将于9月8日全球发行..

    一年推出一张专辑的周杰伦,果然一出手就有让人意想不到的惊喜!引领流行音乐中国风潮的他,这次邀请了诠释中国风的翘楚费玉清一起对唱新专辑的首波主打“千里之外”,费玉清甚至在MV中入镜,与周杰伦一起带领大家畅游音乐的范特西!方文山的词、周杰伦的曲,加上费玉清与周杰伦的对唱,堪称是史上无敌中国风的铁三角!尤其是费玉清与周杰伦这样的对唱组合更是让人意想不到!难以想像两个不同风格、不同曲风、两种截然不同声音调性的歌手,在进了录音室之后竟然激撞出如此令人惊喜的火花!听过歌的工作人员都深表惊讶,因为费玉清的美声唱法与周杰伦的R&B唱腔,“反差”的美感搭配得竟是如此和谐!

    早在去年杰伦就有邀约小哥的构想,对这次合作的创意充满自信的他说:“费玉清大哥唱起中国风的歌曲非常好听!我认为这是我从以前到现在最屌的合作!我们的声音搭配有一种‘反差’的效果!去年在写‘发如雪’时就想过以后要找小哥合作,只是不知道透过什么管道,后来想到我们总经理杨峻荣也是个在演艺圈闯荡很久的人,所以就请他帮忙,真的非常荣幸可以邀请到小哥来合作!”杨总对于两人这样的合作觉得非常的棒,直呼真是两个经典的结合,也觉得这是一种音乐上的传承。而小哥对于这次的合作也很开心地表示:“周杰伦是音乐才子,与他合作我也很期待在音乐上会碰撞出什么样的火花!尤其这几次近距离的接触后,感觉他果真是能唱、能写、还能导,很有大将之风!”话锋一转,小哥不忘询问这支“千里之外”MV的导演周杰伦,自己的表现是否还可以?周导是连忙束起大拇指说:“非常棒!”

    “千里之外”的MV搭设怀旧老歌剧院的场景,杰伦饰演歌剧院里的年轻小跑堂,一段感人的爱情故事也在这歌剧院中发生,小哥是舞台上诠释歌曲、用歌声诉说这动人故事的人,小哥表示:“我很喜欢这首歌,所以在进录音室之前就已练熟了,进到录音室再经过杰伦指点一下他想要的感觉,录音就很顺畅了!我也发现杰伦唱得很好,有一两句飙高音的地方又急转直下,所以年轻人唱歌也是有其技巧的。”杰伦被前辈夸奖得是手心直冒汗,和他当初为小哥配唱时一样,他说:“小哥才是我见过配唱最快速的歌手!两个小时就唱完这首歌,从来没有配唱过这么顺利,像南拳妈妈曾经都要花上好几天才完成一句。”

    杰伦在录音室为小哥配唱时还发生一段有趣的插曲,原来小哥配唱都习惯制作人把布幔拉起来,那天不好意思讲,小哥原本想说把自己站的位置移动一下,可是因为有点怪,索性就放弃挪位置了,没想到却意外发现在杰伦面对面的配唱下也有不错的效果!直说以后配唱也可以尝试!经过这次的合作,小哥表示:“我们两人声音的表现方式各有不同,两个不同的声音诠释结合在一起,希望这样的碰撞之下,可以带给歌迷最棒的享受!”两人还相约日后若有机会,不排除同台合唱一曲的可能!

    为了给所有乐迷惊喜,阿尔发唱片对这次合作可说是保密到家,总经理杨峻荣更是下达封口令!严禁大家对外透露任何消息,拍摄MV当天除了请保全戒备森严,护送小哥到达的时候还小心翼翼以黑雨伞防范狗仔偷拍,制作电视广告时工作人员也是全程监制守候,大费周章的保密功夫是作到滴水不漏!由此可见对这次合作的重视程度!这首“千里之外”即将在23日由Hit FM展开全球电台首播,请歌迷抢先聆听小哥与周董意想不到的声音演出!而这几天大家也将会看到小哥为“千里之外”所拍摄的MV精彩片段,为周杰伦的最新专辑揭开令人惊喜的序幕!

    周杰伦即将于9月8日推出的第七张专辑,名为“依然范特西”,每次周杰伦发片都会被问到曲风有没有改变?事实上他总在他个人独特的音乐风格中,创造无尽多变的新元素!“想像依然无限大、感觉依然说不完、音乐依然范特西”,周杰伦始终在他坚持的音乐风格中,创造变化无穷的想像空间!不断开发与众不同的音乐视野!这也是新专辑之所以名为“依然范特西”的原因。万众瞩目的周杰伦最新专辑即将诞生,8月23日(周三)将展开预购,预购赠送限定版“周杰伦横行时空海报”,在全省7-11预购则赠送“周杰伦战胜幻象拼图”,歌迷千万不要错过了!

98.8 is official broadcaster for one of his song in lastest album 《依然范特西 》, 千里之外 and i have to say, like his album name sugguested, it's truely FANTASTIC! By inviting super vocalist 费玉清, who is well known for his crispy-clear-classical style of interpreting old-school songs, both of them made up a song that's really bring a breakthrough to the music industry. Imagine, who can sing an old-school china-mainland song and make it profitable in this millenium era? Hell no-one else but Jay Chou 周杰伦!

It's undeniable sound nice. Not to mention the song's title 千里之外, oh my.. it mesmerizes me.

I have yet to look at lyrics, i would expect nothing less from 方文山. He is one of the best chinese lyric writer out there.

It's downloadable in the quote link.

    Me: "Hey Raymond.. wassap? So early?"


    Raymond: "Eh you know or not? Ah shum say project the due date is this friday! After that have to send to moderator already no more extend!"

Up to this point if you wondering why our college's ah shum doesnt sweep floor and clean up the toilet. No.. HE is a peculiar one. He wear long sleeve shirts with long ties slotting inside his underpants crossing over his 3 month old tummy.

Yea i'm utterly serious. He is the one marking my Final Project.



I think you should figured out why he hates me so much.


Let's cut down the small talks. After all the long and hardwork, I rewarded myself with this..

Shhhhhhh.. calm down calm down.. i should be the one screaming okay? YYeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh!!

If you're a fan of michael, bad news for you: only VIP seats left, and i'm talking bout the 2nd round!


I sure is the lucky one ^^

12 August 2006

The 2nd day!

Today is an exhaustive one. Things start boringly before lunch time, after 12pm like that, whoa.. you just cant believe the crowd diving in. Like CY Tan always said: busy until mother also cant recoqnize! Not only that i couldnt recoqnize my mum, I skipped the meal too; consuming only mantos to keep my energy on, and building motivation by socialize with people around, customer or co-workers.

This time i saw a lot of familiar faces, greeting each other asking others current undertaking. Career change every fast in IT field, but for anyone who worked together; hey, we are brothers!

I came across a girl walking around. Curiousity urges me to spill out some words.


    "Hey.. you are familiar.."

    "Me? I'm su fan sister!"

    "Su fan? Sorry.. you mean Su fan? emm... oh HER is it? Long time no see, how is her?"



Usually i will pickup and remember. But this one, god-knows-who.

I fulfilled my promise that i had ignored this morning, and they are like.. aww.. i tried my best to stay away from the spotlight. Please..

Tracey took a long long time to count money, the sales is extremely good today. I lost count of how many invoices Yvonne signed, but i got 3, hurray! The another fresh part timer just done the "zero breaking", congrat to her too.

Reminiscence of the pass

While i was standing at a position where a LCD monitor is blocking my view, a saw a pair of eyes, from a part-timer named lie chan.

It's pair of uncertain eyes, looking around and looking back at me. It's familiar, way too familiar. Until i realize it, i already shocked her.

Reminiscence of the pass, it reminded me of ai ling.

I told the part-time girl, and she laughed. I guess she thought i want to court her or something, well.. whatever. We had a conversation, and a lot afterwards.

Her friend is gonna birthday tommorow, i will give her something that should be belongs to ai ling. Reminiscence as it is, it's time that it should be left over.



Back to the PCfair, we fought a decent battle for the first day. Personal contribution 2 PCs, with the team score at 5 PCs.

Looking forward to tommorow.

90 degree change in my life

Recently the incidents happened in my life turns me into another person. Recovering from a terrible sickness , an important letter written, radio in da house.. i dont know how to express this. It makes me realize something, SOMETHING important, or maybe something i had long forgotten. Yes, it's time for me back on track.

I had started a healthy lifestyle!

Wake up at 8am, sleep before 12am. Eating 3 meals a day, snacks sometime but no more supper!

Before sleep i make small notes on what i gonna do tomorrow. When i wake up i do some exercise and set the time for each task.


I could not even believe at myself.

*facing at my own reflection* "Hey!! You kidnapped the old KO i know?"



i will write these in my blog in the near future:
  • "We are just friends!!"
  • Being hero by building cracking bridge?
  • If INFORMATICS is a person
  • Warmth from a cold society
  • Reason causes TARC student death
  • Female again..

We are not "tak-apa" citizen!

Today morning i woke up i check out the AskForPeace campaign website, my head has been all about the tarc robbery inccident.

I couldnt believe my eyes, staggering 16874 people leave comment, a huge leap from 14723 yesterday, only for 9 hours from my sleeping time!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

i even couldnt find my own name in the list anymore! this is unbelievable.

Yes folks, this is the right attitude! Show them we are not tak-apa citizen!


Let's change the focus. Let's hear what our respected PM Abdullah Badawi has what to say:




    PM: Those who spread untruths on the Net will be detained

    KUALA TERENGGANU: The Prime Minister has issued a warning – those who spread untruths and slander on the Internet will face the law.

    If information in blogs, websites and online portals were incorrect, bordered on slander, caused disturbance or compelled the public to lose faith in the nation’s economic policies, their authors would be detained for investigation, said Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

    he crowning himself as King of Malaysia.
    Since when our country going backward to Monarchy?


    “We cannot allow such matters to flow through uncontrolled,” he told newsmen after attending a briefing on the proposed Islamic Civilisation Park in Pulau Wan Man here.

    “They say all kinds of things, make all kinds of dubious claims. We cannot allow them to abuse the freedom earned under the media. If left alone, they can say or pass on all kinds of things.”

    Abdullah also said that those who sent out such information via short message system (SMS) would also be held accountable.

    “If they abuse the freedom – more than the present freedom given without any restriction – we cannot allow it,” he declared.

    “Where in the world is there such a freedom, where one can freely spread incorrect information and slander without having to own up to it?”

    Asked if he was calling for a control mechanism, Abdullah said he would leave it to the police to investigate first.

    arent we complaining on police?
    what do you mean by "leave it to police?"


    It was reported recently that the Internal Security Ministry was investigating several online sites following a string of misreporting that caused tension and confusion among Internet users.




    quote :: the star online


Over the years since we merdeka, government has control the freedom of speech, and kept the ISA emergency law. Neither the press nor individual has the freedom to report incidents accurately. This is unavoidable since our country is still under the threat of radical Communise. And on the other hand, slowly and slowly over the years, government has gained their political advantage by covering up their own mistake and any reports that related to the mistake of their own is considered as a threat of national security.

In simple words, they had introduce us a world of matrix where everyone is living happily with the laungan: Malaysia Boleh! where behind the scene their is patriot (patriotic people) suffered for their fighting for justice, getting detained under ISA with no law to refer to and nobody to help.

Coverting us into obidient little sheeps that will only say "yes", "yes" they had succeeded. We are easily contented when they give us few sweets, but in fact they are parasiting our hard-earned cash from our money stash. And long years to come we as the resident of "MALAY"sian wouldnt see any real improvement to our lifes, where who will benefits the most is the politicians, and secondly the malays of course.

49th (typo error :: 50th), merdeka day is comming. We can cheer out how loud as we can, MEEERRDEEKA! But in reality, we are heading backwards of our aim.

I aware of this situation, do you?

Now we have gained a new portal and the right time to voice out our opinion. The advancement of ICT is what the government should be scared for, because they couldnt surpress the power of citizen anymore. We will make them listen to us, tell us the truth and pour our hard-earned money into the development of our beloved country, not into their own pocket!

Servant should never surpress their master!

I hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Tribute to TARC student Lee Khian Yip

this is the original text i had sent to www.you-zi.net/AskForPeace/:





    PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS NOT A FRESH PHENOMENA HAPPENED IN OUR BELOVED COUNTRY. WE HAD COMPLAINED, WE HAD REQUEST IMPROVEMENT IN POLICE FORCE, WE HAD REFLECTED OUR PROBLEMS TO THE GOVERNMENT, BUT OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE, WHAT HAD THEY DONE?!! AND YET THE YB XXX STILL FINDING EXCUSSES COVERING UP THE INABLITY OF CURRENT POLICE FORCE. WHAT THE F!! DONT DIVERT THE PROBLEM BY SAYING IT'S A SICKNESS OF OUR SOCIETY, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU(GOVERNMENT) HAD DONE WRONG N YEARS AGO, THAT ONE WE HADNT F YOU U STILL WANNA MENTION IT? NOW WE WANT THE POLICE FORCE TO DO MORE THAN ARRIVING TO THE SCENE IN 2 MIN (WHAT AN ARCHIVEMENT!), WE WANT CRIME LIKE THIS TO BE PREVENTED! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU POLITICIANS?

    I DONT KNOW BOUT YOU GUYS BUT I AM GODDAMNED FURIOUS!


I had gave out all my rants to this official website for TARC incident. Theoretically the YB xxx is just applying the cover-up-his-ass method to calm down the crowd. I dont buy this, i will complain until they did something constructive!

Second student slashed in robbery

again, robbery at the same place and yet police has failed to prevent it from happenning. Looks like the police force is getting more and more media attention these days. What to do and who to blame?




    By ANDREW SAGAYAM

    KTAR student Phang Kar Wei, 23, at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital here yesterday. Phang was slashed three times and assaulted by snatch thieves in the incident in Taman Melati last Saturday.

    KUALA LUMPUR: A second Tunku Abdul Rahman College (KTAR) student fell victim to robbres just minutes after first-year accountancy student Lee Khian Yip was hacked to death in Wangsa Maju here on Saturday.

    Phang Kar Wei, 23, was repeatedly assaulted and slashed three times on his hands and neck by two men on a motorcycle at 8.45pm in Taman Melati, some 2km from Wangsa Maju.

    Police believe the same robbers were behind both incidents.

    Met at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital yesterday, Phang said he was walking back to his condominium from the Taman Melati LRT station about 1km away when he saw two men, aged between 18 and 20, standing beside a motorcycle.

    “When I walked past them, one of them asked me for directions to get to Kelana Jaya but I said I was not sure and kept on walking.

    “His friend then asked me if he could borrow my handphone to make a call as his pre-paid credit was used up.”

    Phang said he ignored him. The Information System Engineering student from Kampar said both the men followed and cornered him.

    GOING INTO DETAILS: Phang relating his ordeal to Yew at Kuala Lumpur Hospital yesterday.

    “One held me while the other threatened me with a parang. When I refused to hand over my money, he slashed my neck, took my RM1,000 laptop and the RM2 in my wallet.”

    Phang managed to run away but the men caught up with him on their motorcycle.

    “They slashed me again and repeatedly assaulted me,” he said.


    Wangsa Maju MP Yew Teong Look said the area was prone to crime and hoped the authorities would ensure the situation did not get worse.

    quote :: The Star Online


What the heck happened to the criminals? After they get the stuff they wanted they still slash the innocent fella? This is way too much!

RM30k Reward for Infomation on TARC robbery inccident!



    I was at the forum earlier. People were so furious and emotional. The press was there to cover the forum. The people were throwing questions and questions at the police who were represented by Sentul OCPD (who is in charge of whole Setapak inclusive of Wangsa Maju). YB Yew Teong Look was so protective of the police he asked everyone not to question the authority but to look into a solution.

    A question threw at the OCPD is do they have any information, suspect or any solid clue into the incident as yet. The OCPD answered with a no followed by a loud jeer from the attendees. The person who asked the question later identify himself as a representative from Fu Gui Group (best known for operating Fu Gui Cemetary) and offer a reward of RM30,000 for any information which lead to the arrest of the culprits. Also an immediate help of RM5,000 to the 2nd surviving victim of the slashing incident which is currently recuperating in the hospital.

    quote :: LowYat community forum


there is a big question mark: if police cant protect us? who shall me turn to? Raping and robbering cases keep on terrorizing our country! The criminals treat police like nothing, btw, did police has ANYTHING for them to be scared of?! And the stupid government, From now on effort should be pour into improvement of public security rather than anything else! YOU HEARD ME? WE WANT A SECURE SOCIETY! rather then questions, throw tables and chairs to them show them our rant until they do so!

i say.. chop their hands off before we hang these criminals!
