Championship of TRC

It was’t even three. Air-con blowing strongly, shivered in my piece of blue jacket, busy type type typing away, and occasionally drinking water from the water bottle I had at the side.

(And in case you guys think I’m writing a composition here, I’m not. I’d be crazy to write an English composition, not when it will serve as an English Language learning material for primary school teachers in primary schools, for teaching the kids what are the grammatical mistakes that they shouldn’t make. Over!)

Back to the point, it was’t even 3. And as far as I have remembered. I’ve went to the toilet 3 times since the start of official working time ( which is 9am).

Note here : I’ve changed THREE (using alphabetical here just so I can caps them to emphasis on the importance of the number) time of the toilet roll that’s hanging at the side in those ceramic toilet roll hanger.

Not once, not twice, but three times I’ve changed the toilet roll! 1 more change, and the 4 toilet rolls can just gather around a square table and play mahjong (heh, imagine that scene).

I think I can like change the toilet roll out of the hanger using one hand now, and maybe I should train changing using my left hand.

Who knows, someday when a Championship of Toilet Roll Changing come, I might be able to appear in the top 3.

On a side note : I went to the toilet again before 6, and I ended up changing the toilet roll again.

Updates on WoW

I know most of you are not interested in updates on WoW at all, because most of you guys don’t play it. BUT, I still wanna blog about it hehe (come on and bite me man muahaha).

Anyway, was telling Oi Oi over the game that my character totally looks like this loyal member of a black cult, but I haven’t been able to show her how much of a cultist my characters are, and it looks even more like a black loyal cultist in the login screen, where we can get a close up look of the characters we have.

So here goes :

This is my mage, aaaaand I’ve finally reached level 85. That was like a week ago but I didn’t had the time to blog about it, I may sound busy, but I am really busy! With WoW, that is. And Big Bang Theory. And going out. And working. And sleeping. And watching of it-that-cannot-be-named (not Voldemort!). And things.

Look at this! Don’t you guys agree that this my character work for a black cult? Goes around casting black magic, placing curses…. The background makes it doesn’t look as bad though.

Then look at this :

This guy over here. He totally looked like this… Star War’s baddie, the I-am-your-father guy, not sure what’s the name, but I think you should be able to get it, it just looks like a replica of the original I-am-your-father guy. I just need to get some enchanting (some skill to make the equipments better) which will make my weapon glow, and it’ll be like I’m holding a light saber.

Imagine my mage in this background man, then it’ll look like a black cult member.

A few people asked me, what am I suppose to do after I reach lvl 85? Well… You can like, go around killing powerful bosses, or camp around noobs places to kill noobs, get better equipments, earn $$$. Frankly, there’s really a lot of things to do, it’s kinda hard to explain.

Oh, and I forgot to whine about how hard it is to level my black cult member. Mages are known to be weak among all classes (no matter which game is it). And what makes WoW really different from most free RPG online games is that when a player creates a new character, they will have to choose a faction and when you’re playing the game and come across another faction, you can choose to kill them.

Killing players of another faction who’s level is quite on par with you give you honor points which allow you to change for better equipments. So as I’ve told most of the people around me, I’m like this walking jelly bean that gives free honor point. I think there’s this unspoken code which most players abide where they spot a mage, no matter how far away they are from the mage, they’ll just come running / flying to you to kick your a^$ out.

After all the struggle and torture to “grow” my black cult member, I’ve finally reached lvl 85(wipes tear from eye). I’m now in this volcano-is-likely-to-erupt-anytime-and-anywhere place to get better equipments for her. This is a very crucial place to get equipments and I just have to say this : I feel like I’m training in war zone.

The greens being my allies with the reds being my enemies are we are supposed to be at war with each other.

I have to kill this big red stoney thing whose life is like 774k (wow, I actually remembered) when my life is like 90k. Not to mention, I’m a frigging black cult jellybean.

The grounds are shaking, people (as in virtual) running around everywhere, fire elementals, mobs, fireballs raining everywhere, and particularly fireballs raining down ON me. I could use a safety helmet in there man.

And damn that oi oi, she didn’t reply me when I told her I was having war. LOL.

My HP Deskjet 1050 All-in-One Printer – J410a Printer Scanning Problem

Did I mentioned that I got this marvelous gift from my friend, it’s like an all-in-1 printer which can

1. print
2. scan
3. photostat

Technological things are so amazing nowadays, they make everything so convenient for you. This bulky thing is the kind of thing which of 365 days in year, most likely there’d only be like 5 days you really need this thing to be there. It’s good if you have it during that five days, but if you don’t, you’d have to go through a lot of troubles.

And for the rest of the 360 days? It’s just a bulky thing that’s positioned in the cornerest corner of your room just so that it won’t be in you, your brother’s, your sister’s, your mum’s, your dad’s, whoever, whatever’s way.

Anyway, about a month back, I needed to use the scanning machine just so that I can scan in my polytechnic transcript for UniSIM, and just when I was marveling in my own little lalaland of happiness that I have this amazing thing in my room which can do scanning, I realized, my scanning software is not working at all.

It crashed the moment it was connected to my mac com. That’s why I hate Apple. There are a huge amount of people using windows OS, and before you realised something is not working in conjunction with Windows OS, there’s already a fix somewhere out there for you to download and install. For Apple’s mac? Well yeah, there might be a bunch of people who’s discovered the bug before you do, but, the fix is not out yet.

Which leads me back to the good old days I had to use my camera to take a picture of the transcript and then transfer it into soft copy. (And then I question myself a few times, “what do I want that stupid shit for?”. But anyway, since it’s already there and it’s not like I can do anything about it, I just got on with my life.

Until my brother called me again just now to help him to scan his transcripts. Heh, this is a world of transcripts.

I connected my printer to the com, on the scanning software, crashed.

Disconnected my printer from the com, on the scanning software first, then connect to the printer, crashed.

Restarted my printer, restarted my scanning software, crashed.

Did nothing with printer, restarted scanning software, crashed.

Did nothing with scanning software, restarted printer, still crashed.

Change squatting position, stare at my printer, stared at the fan, willing it to on it by itself cuz I’m sweating like mad.

Continued staring at printer, continued resending and resending the damn report to whoever, whatever, that’s going to receive it, hoping that there will be an alien / IT prodigy / whatever / good living virus that will be on the receiving end solving this damn problem.

Went googling.

Changed squatting position again.

Stared at fan, stared at the damn transcripts. Sighed at the goddamn printer and scanning software and finally came to this website :

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=4027465&sw_lang=&

AND, I realised there is actually a fix for the stupid problem!

Happily downloaded it, and finally stood up to on the fan, surfed my email, smiled happily at my printer, thinking that everything is going to be fine afterall.

DING! Download finished.

Happily double clicked it ….

This update requires Mac OS X Version 7 or later

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!! ARE THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE USING MAC OS 7 < BELOW NOT HUMANS? And it’s not like my Mac OS version is of one that is made in the stone age!!

It’s just a 10.6.8!!! Only that 0.0.2 difference!!

Stared in disbelief at my mac com, stared in disgust at the bulky thing, stared in exasperation at the damn software I thought could have saved all the anguish I had.

So, I right click the file and show the package content, found several installer in the program itself, and slowly installed it one by one, dragged items from the resources folder to my printer’s resources folder.

Restarted damn printer, restarted damn scanning software, DING DING!

IT ACTUALLY WORKED.

Conclusion of this whole post : I’m really like smart.

On a side note : what’s that “requires Mac OS X Version 7 or later” for? In the end, I could have still installed those things with the current OS I have! This is like frigging lame.

My day as a Zebra

I have whined to a couple of you guys before already, but I was wearing this thick black and white stripes blouse 2 days before. Each stripe, id I didn’t gauge wrongly, it’s about 1cm each. The moment I wore it, looked into the mirror, I felt like a zebra, but since I’d had to wear it sooner or later, I just continued wearing it for the whole day.

When I got onto the bus, there’s this lady that keeps staring at me, so I stared at her(while feeling like a zebra), and she actually continued staring at me, which made my inferiority complex more inferior. And that made me feel more like a zebra.

I guess I was overthinking it, because as soon as I got off the bus and walked on the streets, nobody stared at my zebra outfit, though I kept thinking the whole world is staring at me (or maybe I thought I had the attention when I don’t cuz I’m such an attention seeker hahaha).

Anyway, I felt miserable the whole day, cuz… I felt like a zebra.

Conclusion is, don’t get a black and white stripe blouse when the strips are thick. It’ll totally transform you in to a zebra. Hell, if you actually cross the road, the cars might just run you over, high possibility of regarding you as a zebra crossing.

Plan Your Life Well

This was shared among my work team by my manager, and I find it pretty inspirational (?) and true, so here goes, apparently it’s a 30 seconds speech given by the CEO of Coca Cola.

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the Air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four Balls – Family, Health, Friends and Spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.”

Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends and have proper rest.

Value has a value only if its values is valued.

True, right? Heh.

PS to Oi : You have an extra ball, your blog, please do blog more regularly, because once it’s dropped, you can NEVER, EVER say that I don’t blog regularly. Give you 2 more days, if still no new blog post, you can’t say that I blog irregularly *whistles*

PPS to Oi : Juggle your work man, stop carrying umbrellas around all the time like a eunuch palace maiden. =P
