Chapter 1...

Okay I'm back to KL after a 5 days vacation at Sabah. During the first day was somehow quite tiring and sleepy as well because the day before I took my flight I was unable to sleep well (slept for only 3 hours). The flight was on 9am but I had to go to gather at my aunt home which was located at Semenyih at around 6am. Once reached there, we waited for the taxi for about 20min to arrive to fetch us to the KLIA. The taxi driver was a friendly old Chinese man, aged 64, and still possessed a muscular body (I'm darn impressed by the physical fitness of the taxi driver). He talked a lot about his sons and some of his background story which I was not really interested, however my aunt was the talkative type, therefore for the entire journey to KLIA, the sound which was audible to my ears was the sound of my aunt and the taxi driver chit chatting.

The journey to KLIA took about 30min from Semenyih, partly due to the smooth traffic condition. After wasting one hour at the airport, finally I was on the plane to Sabah. The view outside of the airplane was amazing during that day, somehow I managed to take a snapshot of a rainbow via my phone's camera....(somewhere over the rainbow way up high~~)

Can you spot the rainbow?

Inside the airplane, there was nothing much to do except going to the washroom regularly, eyes glued at the hot air stewardess, and listen to the musics. After flying for at least 2h 30min, the plane took a stop at Labuan to drop off some passengers before continuing to Kota Kinabalu.

At last, I had arrived to K.K after more than 3 hours butt torturing journey all the way from KL. Immediately checking out from the airport, my father contacted his former colleague a.k.a his student to have a little conversation. Then we bought a taxi ticket which cost rm30 in order to travel to the hotel which was located less than 50km from the airport. Once again, I had to torture my butt or else I had to sleep at the airport...
The environment in K.K was much like the 80's, however the buildings looked repainted and had undergo maintenance. Finally, the gigantic signboard which reads Daya Kinabalu Hotel was visible to me, my face showed a relieved sign because I can finally took a rest.

The hotel was situated in the town center, there was no parking space for the taxi to stop. To my surprised, the taxi driver just stopped at the middle of the road blocking the vehicles at the back from proceeding their journey. However, drivers at Sabah was full with patient and tolerance. They waited for us to unload our luggage and the taxi driver to step on the acceleration without pressing the horn at all !! This is something that will not happen in KL....

So, the first day was pretty much ended without any activities, due to the tiring journey everyone wanted to get a good rest before enjoying the rest of the vacation...

Holiday on the go!!!

Okay so yesterday I had finally finished my final paper which was the fundamental of marketing..how was it? Well it sucks that all I can tell you.. Since it was over I'm not gonna think about it anymore, I better spend my time doing what I'm supposed to do few months ago which are, music composing, guitar training, and readings. By the way, I have finished the Dan Brown latest book. I will simply give it a five out of five..go get this book, read it and try to capture the message behind it. Oh ya not to forgot, yesterday out of the blue moon there was a rat at the back of my electric guitar..I had no idea how this little creature can end up at there. However this little guy looked like it was going to depart from this world anytime soon..I guessed it had eaten some poisonous stuff...


On last Sunday, I went to celebrate ah chiang and huey mun birthday. It was a great day because I got to meet my A level friends again(as well as two more friends which I had met them once few months ago). On that day, I had watched the inglorious basterd which was featuring Brad Pit. The show was quite funny in my oppinion (if you are into black humour) but the show was too draggy. The dialogs in this movie were well crafted, the background scenes had contributed successfully in the humour part, and the cast were superb.

Today, I wake up quite early, 7.15am.. For the first time since the start of short semester, I resume my daily workout routine..I hope that I will be able to follow the routine because it is kinda hard to jump start the engine after a long shut down. Then after having my breakfast I go to find my sis (my godsister) in order to help her setup her home studio stuff..spend few hours at her home and then straight to Kepong for music class. During music class, my teacher tell me that the ringtone that I had composed was considered the one of the best...the moment the word stomp into my ears all I can feel is.. damn happy!!! Lol Now I'm even more motivated to compose and practise music..okay it's time to sign off...

magsafe power adapter ....sick.....happy...relief

Yesterday out of sudden my macbook power adapter had once again broke down...and yeah I just got it back from replacement and it's not even a week yet !!! Then somehow today, it revived but I still doubt it will last for another day..hmm just my feeling. Well yesterday, I didn't attend the music class due to severe headache, I think the extreme hot and humid day had caused the headache...

Stole it from others blog muhahaha!!!

Today the headache has settled down and now it is the turn for the attack of the running nose!! (Dj gimme the star wars imperial march !!!) Honestly speaking, the global climate has suffered a drastic change. I still remembered during my A level, my chemistry lecturer said that our world was beyond rescue. "Despite the effort in saving the Earth, it is actually slowing down the destruction process itself and not healing the Mother Earth...", said Mr. David Loh...Well do you all believe that we can not restore our Earth to its once greeny and beautiful state?? Personally for me, I do hold on into believing that we can still save our planet.. however we must work together in curing the Earth..

Let's recycle!!!

Yeah recycling is one of the option we can contribute in saving our Earth, therefore start recycling hehe...

Window 7 released!!!

After a long wait Window 7 finally make its debut in every tech store, personally I'm not quite as exited as I does during the released of Mac Snow Leopard although critics claimed that Window 7 is far more better than Window Vista. I've been using Window Vista for two years and I can tell you that Window Vista suck to the max despite it recent service pack 2, it doesn't solve all the problems that comes with it. Anyway I do hope that Window 7 will be far more better than Window Vista but still I remained sceptical (thanks to the fact that Window Vista has failed me many times). Yesterday night, when I was about to doze off I saw a damn funny ad by Microsoft..



So after watching this ad what message do you all get ??? The big question is,are they mocking themselves?? Well what certainly is this is one of the microsoft best ad for me xD

Sleepy..rainy...gloomy day

Today I've finished my business statistic final exam, took almost 2 hours to finish (including final checking)..I hope I will be able to score this subject because most of the chapters in this subject I've learn it before during my A level program. Okay one down and two more to go.. the next subject will be Financial Accounting, I'm kinda unsure whether I could score this subject or not because all the things in this subject are still quite new to me (never taken accounting subject until this time haha)..just pray to God that I will do well.
I wish God will always guide me & be by my side...

Currently I'm still hesitating whether or not to join my friends for the Genting trip although I've paid a total of rm27 for the hotel room. Thanks to the power cut on tomorrow, the Fundamental of Marketing was postponed to 28th (I'm quite curious why the heck UCSI don't have their own power generator, I'm sure that many of the Uni do have their own backup power generator).

Recently, I found myself in a good luck. This have not happen to me since the last 19 years (seriously!!).. Let's rewind back to 20th/10/09...I woke up from my bed and as usual I switched on the pc. Proceed to check the mail, and to my surprised I received an email informing that I had won iTunes credit worth $10!!! It was from the iPhone game challenge that I had participated a week ago. Sincerely I really felt an unimaginable sense of joy in my soul, for a guy that never won any lucky draw or any competition, this was something truly amazing!!! (Yeah yeah even though the prize is only $10 but hey I can spend it on songs haha).. Deep inside my heart I really thank God for giving me the chance to taste the joy of winning =D
Thanks for everything.....


Fast forward to present (21/10/09).. this morning I've bought Adam Lambert new song Time For Miracles (using the itunes credit). I love this song so much until I can't even get the chorus of the song out of my head!! This reminds me of an episode of the Family Guy


Until next time..signing off..

Dan Brown new book..The lost symbol..anyone?


The lost symbol
Originally uploaded by Kein yeow

Yesterday I went to klcc with the intention to collect my power adapter (aah finally after nearly three weeks of waiting), after fulfilling my objective I went to Kinokuniya just to have a look since I've arrived there. Normally I would stroll to the comics section but instead I take my time at the novel section. Casually I browsed through some of the novel on the shelf and then without and prior notice..I saw Dan Brown's latest book, The Lost Symbol !!!! I took a deep breath and cradled the book in my right palm, and slowly with my left index and thumb fingers flipped the cover of the book. After a few minutes of readings through the introduction page, I decided to buy the book (I bought a graphic novel as well because The Lost Symbol will be given 20% discount for the second item purchased). Well I've read until chapter 11 and so far all I can describe is, this book is amazing!!! Seems like Dan Brown never fail to capture the attention of the readers. I've read two of his previous books which are the best selling Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, and both of the books are great in my opinion. I like the way the author tell his story, put in some conspiracy theory and make it as if it is real. Even though some critics might argue that the facts which are presented in the book are not correct but hey...who cares as long as the it will make the story interesting. Okay I'm gonna continue reading the book....signing out..

Oh ya before I forget, happy deepavali to all my Indian friends and don't forget my muruku haha. Yesterday out of sudden there was a blink of idea in my head, I sat in front of my humble pc and started composing a club music. I've done the first half of the music and the second half is in the progress, after I've finish it I will post it on the blog and let you boys and girls comment about it. Okay I guess it's time to get back to work (damn I should be studying for my final) signing off...

Done a few ringtones

Today is quite a day for me I guess, first of all today I have successfully completed my very own ringtones. This is actually a part of my homework given by my music teacher, I supposed to finish it few weeks ago but due to many things that I need to pay attention first, I've got no other choice but to postpone it until today which is the due date!! Damn I'm really a last minuets dot com person. Since there is some incompatibility of the previous ringtones, which are half way complete, with the Hyper Sonic vsti (this is because I'm using the 'captain Jack sparrow's version) I have to
recompose a new ringtone. This morning at 11am sharp I sit down on my not so comfortable chair and open up the Sonar. After setting everything up, comes a big problem.... My mind gone blank. For almost half and hour I play around with the midi controller and still my mind is empty. Then out of sudden, as if the angel is whispering to me, I felt a rush of unlimited data was downloaded into my mind. With passion and enthuaism, I'm glued to my chair for 4 hours and then...the 30sec long of my masterpiece was finally completed. Now it's up to the judgest(oh yeah the ringtones will be judged and feature in some eer magazine I guess haha) to decide whether the ringtone is up to their expectation or not haha. Okay..whatelse oh ya my MacBook power adapter is finally ready for collection after waited for the replacement unit for more than a week, so I guess tomorrow I will be going to klcc and get it. Also, I need to cut my hair already. Currently my hair looks like a coconut eer shell(what ever they call it) I'm thinking of getting something more simple and rockish style..hmm no idea haha I think I'm not person with a good fashion sense. Finally, iPhone, the most elegant looking yet powerful phone in my oppinion. Since past few weeks, anytime at anywhere my hand is holding the elegant looking gadget because this phone is simply too convenient!! Even though it does has some restriction in certain things like no file transfer using Bluetooth and no multitasking, however these problem can be overcome by "jailbreaking" it. At first, like many other iPhone users I was reluctant to jailbreak my phone because first it will void the warranty and second I heard that jailbreaking the device will risk the phone to "brick". However I was totally wrong about my perception regarding iPhone jailbreaking, even after jailbreak let's say that the phone somehow got into unstable mode and ruin the phone. Well normally people will freaked out but thanks to the Apple iTunes, iPhone users can easily restore the phone into the factory setting without any hassle and then yeah at this stage you can claim the warranty again pretty tricky huh. For the stability after jailbreaking, so far I've never encounter any lagginess or freezing after jabreaking the phone. I've been enjoying the multitasking ability that the phone has gained, frankly speaking I'm pretty impressed by the hardware capability of handling multitasking. To test the phone to the limit, I have been running 4 applications at the same time and still it did not show and lag. So the go jailbreak your iPhone if you own one haha or else you won't be able to do so after Apple has upgraded the latest batch of iPhone with newer bootrom. Okay what makes iPhone so special than other phone? The answer is applications. This device has the most applications compared to other phone. Whatever you want you might find it at the app store. Okay I guess it's time for me to go to bed...sign out...

AKG Perception 120 stage and recording mic



The AKG Perception 120 mic, I just got this new toy on Thursday and yet to test it. The box looks pretty nice, black and grey color blend well, the placement of the microphone picture is good enough to catch your attention, and the the font size of the wordings just nice enough to make you feel that you're the owner of a professional product.

The back view


The specifications...I don't understand it at all anyway just post it for the sake of those who understand it

It's unboxing time!! let see there's some booklets and warranty card..hmm nothing special


Now this is something special!!!

I feel that I'm holding the holy grail ..no I'm indeed holding the holy grail!!!

From the side it looks kinda like a oversize bullet

It's time to sing~~~!!!!!

Well I will try this mic on tomorrow, hopefully there will be no problem during the setup..wokay buh byezz

Excited with....

I’m quite surprise yet happy that actually there is somebody out there who bother to read my craps hahaha.. thank you!!! =D


Wokay today is 17th of Sept(by the time i click on publish post it will be 18th of Sept Malaysia time xD) and I have finished my another lesson at Serene Music academy, today Serene (which is a great teacher of mine) told my cousin and me that we need to compose and produce a song in a month!!! If I’m not mistaken the song will be used during Serene Music Academy one year old celebration during december (if I not mistaken la haha..I hope that I will got a chance to perform xD haha)The moment I heard it I was in complete shock, I can feel the goosebumps slowly raising up like a sequence of human wave in a football stadium. To be honest, I was quite unsure whether I can finish it in time although I already have a few unfinished songs. Anyway, I’m thankful for my teacher to give me this opportunity because now I don’t have anymore excuses to not finish up my songs anymore. I will be working together with my cousin for this song that I’m gonna compose, the concept of this song is country rock. Instruments wise, there will be acoustic guitar, drum kits (type of drum set is still unsure), bass, violin, and perhaps some SFX. The structure of the song will be intro-verse-pre chorus-chorus-interlude-pre chorus-chorus-bridge-chorus-ending. Okay that’s it, it’s time to put everything together and hopefully it will pay off haha. In the mean time, I’m gonna listen to some songs and try to get some inspiration and idea. Okay it’s time to sign out buh byezz !!!

Tune Money....sucks...

14th of Sept 2009


Today I’ve finally settled my Tune Card and the Tune Money account, In excitement I deposited rm70 and purchased the Mac OSX 10.6 !!! Weehaaa!!! Actually I wanted to get it few weeks ago but I can’t because the extremely frustrating Tune Card was giving me some trouble. First the card has to be activated via online, this is actually a very easy process, all I need to do is login to my Tune Money account and click activate but for whatever reason the Tune Money didn’t send me any login ID and password for me to access my Tune Money account. Annoyed by this matter I give them a call yet I can’t get through them because all the operators were busy and they $%^ing charged anyone who call the customer service !!! Given up waiting for their operator, I sent them an email regarding my difficulty but didn’t receive any reply from them even after a week of waiting. So yesterday which was 13th Sept I called them again and luckily this time I got through. I made my complain and then boom!! everything was done... so boyz and galz beware of Tune Money, their service is ahem ahem suck ahem ahem...

Fri is my Choco day .....

Today is the 4th of September and the digital clock is showing 11:46AM, the sky is dark and I can feel the breeze air is blowing onto my skin. 2 minutes later, the rain is streaming down from the sky. I switch on the light and then lie down on the mattress, my mind is in a state of achieving its ‘zen master’ state. About 3 minutes later, my so called ‘zen master’ state is disturbed by the sound of the vaguely timed rhythm from my stomach. Like a hungry wolf, I run towards the refrigerator and open it without any hesitation. Inside it, I found two nicely design boxes. There are few valuable items inside the boxes itself, I’m now taking out both of the boxes from their cold storage. Slowly, if not gently, I opened it with a feeling of excitement and then!!!!!....... Oh, there are my 7 sins of chocolate, brownie, and some biscuits. Impatient, I search for my tiny baby spoon and dip the spoon deep inside the 7 sins of chocolate. I’m now ready to put everything the spoon is able to scope into my mouth. Oh~~!!!.... the taste is so great, I feel as if I’ve been sent to hell and then somehow got my free pass to heaven. The moment I put it inside my mouth, all I can taste is mild flavor of bitterness but after that, the sweet chocolate taste gradually awaken from its sleep. Without rushing, I took my time enjoying the luxury taste of the 7 sins of chocolate while listening to X Japan’s Tears.............





(picture was stolen from Mr.Fui ....lazy to take a pic =p)


(P.S the 7 sins of chocolate can be obtained from Delectable at The Garden, it only cost RM12 each, worth a try...also they do carry out some custom design cupcakes as well, check out their website http://delectable.com.my/ =D)

Tue is .....

Blogging blogging blogging... I can’t seems to consistently update my blog, actually my mind is full of things that I wanted to share but I often find myself stuck in the middle of writing. This is because I crap so much and I often find myself going off topic, so this time I’ve decided to keep it short and simple (the principle which I’ve learnt from my Business Communication course).


Okay first of all, I’ve settled my PTPTN loan !!!! (yeehaaa!!!) Finally after a month of preparing all the documents needed, today I went to UCSI just to submit all the documents. To be honest I’m becoming very lazy since the start of the holiday for this semester, it is because of I’m spending too much of my free times just by sitting in front of my pc (and stares at the LCD monitor for hours as if Jessica Alba is undressing in front of me), anyway it feels quite refreshing just being outside of the house hahaha. At first I’m really annoyed to the fact that I still have to go back to UCSI at tomorrow’s morning (actually today is the document verification day) just to personally submit the documents to the officers in charge, but thank God, due to the fasting month for Muslim the officers in charge are not willing to come to UCSI therefore all the documents will be submitted to the UCSI staff which is in charge of this matter. So ‘jeng jeng’ everything is settled today.


Secondly, I’m veeeeery excited for the Apple upcoming operating system, Snow Leopard which will be released on this Friday!!!! (*jumping up and down like a zombie*). It has been a month since I’ve been using Mac, frankly speaking, I’m very impress with the stability of the system as well as the built quality of this elegant looking mean machine. Now I’m sure that many people will say that Mac is expensive and the specification of the hardware is not in par with other laptop in the market. Well, that is not the case anymore because nowadays Mac is becoming more and more affordable (check out the Apple website to find out more if you don’t believe me), since I’ve started using a Mac I’ve discovered that the true beauty of the Mac is not because of its appearance and brand name but it is because of the operating system, the soul of this machine that what makes it so special. It is hundred time faster than a Window based pc no matter what you are doing (this include starting up and shutting down as well), when an application hang it will not cause the whole system to freeze, faster software installation and uninstallation (uninstallation is done by deleting the icon of the software, that it simple isn’t it ?). Now, I can’t confidently saying that the Mac has the ability to optimize its hardware even though the hardware spec might be average in terms of speed. But so far there is no lagging issues occur even when I’m running more than five software at the same time and some of the software is quite demanding in terms of system spec. Erm what else, oh ya, most important thing is it is 99.999999999999(a hell lot’s of 9) percent free of virus and spyware (and whatever ware that is harmful to Window) so there will be no worry for the guys because we can just surf the *prawn* site for hours muahhahahah except me of course (*run and hide). The disadvantage of using Mac is if you’re a gamer then you might not like the Mac because you can hardly runs any graphic demanding game with high graphic setting, apart from that Mac is good with almost everything and it does it better than Window based pc.


Finally(after indirectly written a review regarding the Mac) I’m going to end my post by saying thanks to all who actually spends the time to read all the things that I’ve written. The end.
