Life with a dead CPU

Salaam.

That may well be an interesting title to an article in a PC mag. or perhaps a title to a song(...err). But it is a real dilemma i'm facing right now with my old PC. Which explains why I haven't got time to update this blog.

'Your CPU may have a problem' is the message from the talking (yes, talking) CPU of mine. I would keep on pressing the power button and the restart button again and again for it, hopingly, to load up. but failures upon the trials i made seem to get me over my head.

What's life without my CPU working?

I can't go online, and that means, I can't check my emails, can't listen to my songs, can't read blogs, can't google for information, can't watch youtubes, can't snoop around and being nosy about other people's lives through chatting in MSN etc etc. These have become your 'life' if you're too connected to the world called the internet. It's as if your life depends on it (well at least to some extent, I do)

Oh, and what's even worst is for me not being able to do my work. And i mean work; like lesson plans, students' name list etc etc....which at the moment, is really what i need to do. Getting it delayed would mean i had to do it manually, by hand.

Combining work and entertainment, all these is life for me. And with the CPU having a problem would mean i have to live without them temporarily. And it's really hard. Even harder, i'm worried that my PC wouldn't work at all, ever!! Imagine all those files i have, my music, my pictures, my documents all gone! what a waste of an effort ey?? So please if you can, backup your stuffs, especially the important ones, so that you wouldn't have to crash into pieces when your harddisk fails.

A breather, im posting this and able to do some work through my dad's laptop. I still prefer to use my own though. Though it's an old PC, i still think its better.. heHe...

Again, i have to say this, i NEED a new computer. Make it just a laptop this time. I need a new laptop. Inject me with a reliable new life again. worry-free and trouble-free. But that time has yet to come, because of some factors that i don't want to mention again and again. All related to work and money.

Stay in touch with some posts coming up...

Cheers!

Announcement

Dear readers,

This blog will be temporarily inactive for this week. As i will be away from the country for a short moment. Do drop by the cbox for your words. Cheers! :)

1521

Ever feels like what you have been doing has gone to drain? all the effort and tiring practises are just waste and thrash? Not completely but yeah. point is, if one cant control how to implement what have been drilled into and upon countless times of trials and errors, then that is totally just a waste.

focus and refocus: when nervousness sweeps you away into a sea of blurriness and chaos. cant focus cant breathe. cant even think right. every movement serves a bad turnaround. what to do? Shall i just let it all slip away and surrender? I declare; defeat. But not yet...

Breathe in and breathe out....

wake up and stand up...

play and replay...(and pause for a moment...) play again...

memories flashes back and again...like that music of bOOs and OOhs in my ears...GoGGley eyes; watching being spectators; in silence they say words and sighs and frustrations...

yet again, the opponents lOOking down upOn you, yet to declare victory...

and we say: NEVER!! not yet sucka, we are not going to give up just like that. Come, come challenge us with all your highly skills...with armours in our arms, we shall defend this territory. Attack us with your hawks and we'll spit it back right into your face! (ouch!)

As 15 or 21 has been reached, then only silence and the egoisms of the unspoken heroes are known. Only the winner walks away with pride and dignity whilst the loser can only accept defeat. Lessons learned. better luck next time.

Question: 15 or 21.... What am i? Hahah....

What a day!

woke up around 1230 (!).......rush for Friday prayers.. (of course i had shower) ..... i decided to go to a mosque where i seldom go lately (Since i was all alone, coz dad and my brother had left)...

sat right infront of the entrance to the mosque, everybody's sitting there could see people who are also late to perform their obligations. Imagine, there were people who came just to perform the Friday prayer. They came exactly when it's time to. Nda pyh dgr khutbah kah? And bukannya orang muda2 saja, but a father and his son pun akhir. countless other beings who were also late. Sigh. This is the view, when you're sitting right where the entrance is. On Fridays.

back home, we were preparing to clear and move to a new and renovated extension of our kitchen. After months of waiting, its finally ready to be officially inhabited. Hehe. Parents were happy, so was I.

Really busy day it was. I also recycled some papers. Before that, there was an old guy from Jerudong, asking whether we have car batteries which are unused. this isnt the first time though. Many have asked about whether we dont need those batteries; ( i bet those batteries were lying around which is why people are prying for them). Asking permission from my dad, those batteries were finally exchanged for $7. 3 car batteries that is. so if u guys have car batteries which are not used or damaged, please send the to recycle centres and you'll be glad for making some cash heHe :)

back to the recycling papers, yea, went to the recycler to dump old newspapers. in total it summed up to be 88 kg. And i got $3.50 for that. its not worthy come to think of it, but hey, siapa mbari. besides, we get some space back. Hahah.

to top off the tiring day, a game of badminton for the night. lagitah ku ngalih. Hahah. gonna have a good sleep now.

Logging off.....Salaam..

Note to self: Lupa ku papat kuku! Monday please!

Common problems; minta dijauhi

> JIKA ANDA...
> >>Ada Masalah Hutang (Kad Kredit/Rumah/Kereta)??
> >>Gaji Bulan Tak Cukup-Cukup??
> >>Suri Rumah/Penuntut Ingin Mendapat "EXTRA INCOME"
> >>Jobless Graduate
> >>Ahli-Ahli Global yang Pernah Ditipu
> >>Bahasa Inggeris Tak Pandai dan Tak Tahu Komputer atau Internet
> >>Tak Ramai Kawan dan Tak Tahu Nak Buat Table Talk

Another forward I received. I can see these problems happening in our society. sad. and scary. Because we are about to move into that transition in life. Perhaps this is my pessimistic view about the forward. Moga2 minta di jauhi lah dari perkara cemani.

But the good thing is, it makes us think. well at least, it makes me think, that such forward brings about to improve 'our lives' or the least 'trying to'. Saying that, i still do not have the urge to call whatever number that is given. Just being unsure and cautious not to be duped.

On the same topic, there's a leaflet lying around at the Surau in The Mall last time with a much bold and striking statement:
'Dr. Ahmad lahirkan bangsa Melayu berjaya - Formula dan ideanya buka minda untuk ubah taraf hidup'.

Not strong enough? try this one :
'Sekiranya awda belum terlintas untuk sms, maka awda masih sanggup berTUANkan MASALAH KEWANGAN setiap bulan. Bagi peluang pada diri sendiri untuk berubah dan berjaya, Insyaallah'.
This was placed at the bottom of the leaflet, and a contact number and a chop of 'BUKAN SAHAM INTERNET' was displayed.

Now, the question is, would you be willing to call and contact the number to improve you life?

Add your Bruneian words to the list!

Salaam...

I've been adding up some Bruneian words into that site. And I must say it's quite addictive. I've been pouring out words which have not been added up to the list and thinking it's better if I can contribute a bit.

Words like biskita, baibun, bauri and so on are some of the words that I have added up. And it seems like I can think of many. Perhaps so. Hehe. You'll also be surprised to know words which you may never heard before like balingkawat, walih etc.

Have a go!

Lost (Season 1)

Went to the padang perayaan with Sally and there were lots of people...despite the fact that it's the last day of school tomorrow...and as for me, I'm having my lesson on the first two periods! Huhu...exciting, haven't got anything planned yet but sort of talked through what to do for the lesson over dinner with Sally...

Night temperature was pretty hot while we were walking and it seems like its going to rain but no, the stars were still shining....

Oh now comes to the point where i'm going to share a little story about being in padang....

i was lost when i was there 2-3 days ago...i was with my mom...and unfortunately she gave her handphone to me earlier...so there's no way i can contact her whereabouts...

We were together when we were there...started to lose her when i was looking at this booth selling watches......i was there for about 4-5minutes and my mom didnt wait for me...went ahead i guess..and disappear...haHahah...Having searching for her in and out of the booths, i thought it's impossible...basar kali ah padang ah...

Losing hope, i stayed with the crowds infront of the stage where people performed...no sight of mom yet....sigh...

Giving up, and it was starting to rain lightly that night, i went to where i parked my car....stayed there and hoping for miracle to happen..hahahah.... that miracle, im referring to is for my mom to at least call my phone or hers...but endless waiting just seemed painful...

With an umbrella in my hand, i decided to go back to padang..... balum pun sampai...ada tya my mom....muahahah.....

that's the story of me losing myself while in padang.........trust me you don't want to be lost while you're there...

Try this link!

http://www.1-click.jp/

Sally forwarded me that link with a title 'solved mystery'....
Ever wonder how your mouse works?
Play around in that site. Hilarious. Hahah.

teR-$cratch! Meow!



That's the pic of the overscratched easicard...easi card: its easi to scratch and overscratch...haHah.. click on the picture and look closer, you can see how hard my mom scratched the numbers! meow! grrrr! ouch!

She had gone to one of the DSTcom counters and they took the card and asked her to wait for 2-3 days for the credit to be sent off to her. That's supposed to be today or maybe tomorrow and its gonna be in full balance ($20). Well, at least, let's hope so, hehe....

Have you ever had THE SCRATCH of your life?

My mom just over scratched her easicard ($20) and couldn't even see the numbers!!

luckily easiK comes into mind, and told her to bring the card to the DST counter..i wonder if they offer full redemption for the card...

will update on this... and will post some pics of the card...

a dose of the pill is making me sleepy now...(i'm having symptoms of flu+tonsil)

good night

Sally Sendiri - Peterpan



Biar Sally mencariku
Biarkan dia terbang jauh
Dalam hatinya hanya satu
Jauh hatinya hanya 'ku

Katakan ku takkan datang
Pastikan ku takkan kembali
Lalu biarkan dia menangis
Lalu biarkan dia pergi

Sally kau selalu sendiri
Sampai kapanpun sendiri
Hingga kau lelah menanti
Hingga kau lelah menangis

Sally kau selalu sendiri
Sampai kapanpun sendiri
Hingga kau lelah menanti
Hingga kau lelah menangis

***

Biar Sally mencariku
Biarkan dia terbang jauh
Dalam hatinya hanya satu
Jauh hatinya hanya 'ku


----------------------------------------------
New from Peterpan's latest album a track with the title 'Sally Sendiri'...nice song, i like!! and not to compare it with my Sally ah eventhough the last line in the track(the one in blue) is sweet :)

Monetary Policy


Days were pretty wet and luckily it was the usual hot day yesterday... its the sunshine again..

Relief L i f e
Life at school is not bad....

I got to get things more planned and organised the next time. All well said and learned i hope...

Having the chance to relief a level II class for a maths subject was also an experience. Those guys are really different, they moved and walked around class quite a lot, but they don't just simply walk and do nothing instead in search of answers to the maths exercise i had given them. And there i was trying to explain to some of the solution to the maths questions..huhu...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stressed out, i contemplate about one thing that struck in my head:
Money $_$

Many to the questions seems better to be left unanswered i suppose... and here goes:

Is money power?
Having all the money in the world, does that make you powerful?
When money is not an issue, does that make one a super power?
Can money control everything?
Is money everything?
Is money powerful than love?
Is money powerful than dignity?
Can i buy happiness with money?
Can i be healthy with all the money to me?
With money, will it guarantee me peace and heaven?
Can money answer all my problems?
My questions?
My wants and needs?
IS money the root of all problems?
