The Laze is back

Had been playing Borderlands for the past 4 - 5 days. Completed both Playthrough 1 and 2 using another class and that is Hunter.

The previous class that I used was Soldier and it seems like Hunter is way much more fun. You get crazy loots - like seriously crazy when using a Scavenger Tech Mod and also Bloodwing Action Skill.

It was really fun and tiring so next is to move on to farm some stuffs and then to DLCs 1, 2 and 3. Soon DLC 4 is gonna be out and I am gonna play that.




Yes, I know I am wasting my holidays - but whatever since it's mine you don't have to care.

Learning is so fun (재미)

Yep, after exams this is what I can possibly do - learn more.. LEARN, especially language that I am so damn into these years and the coming years or forever.

Basically of cause I needed some help from translations in order to understand since for now, I can only understand Jap and Korean just the basic side.

Conversation wise is way harder to learn due to the fact that perfecting communication in different language requires a person to be the 'helper'. (That's how I feel about it.)

It feels super great that an alien language to me is no longer alien.

Probably thing I can do is try not to mix and match one language with another since this will really affect the way I learn. However, some words are really cross-linked for its pronunciation especially.

END OF THE MEMORIZING WORLD

Yeh, at least the last paper is smooth which means the exams period ended off without much 'weight' on me.

Only one question I got it all wrong - stupid recursive and iterative crap damn you.

Well, next thing to do is to enjoy - games, dramas, movies, SLEEP.. whatever.

AND DAMN, NO MORE LIAR GAME THE FINAL STAGE MOVIE ON GV. And why the heck must it be GV exclusive.. well time to download (hopefully there will be) the movie.

THREE out of THREE = 100%

Once again, I am asking myself if I am ready for tomorrow's paper.
According to all the past year papers, I am able to do those questions but what I am worried is that our paper will be quite different in the sense that the questions wouldn't be the same as last year's or past years'.

Did 5 papers - but doesn't really mean anything does it?
If questions will be similar then that would be a sigh of relief but thing is I won't know. I keep telling myself that the questions will be based on the tutorials - somewhat, somehow.

UGH, I am dying.

two out of three

The second paper is down, with a some doubts and mistakes. But as long as I am able to attain my target of 80 for all papers, I will be just as elated.

The day after tomorrow at 9am, it's our last paper. Good thing is that this paper is during the morning - this means that we can enjoy the afternoon!

Damn I love Windows 7's Snipping Tool:
Yes, 36hours and counting down
All I am hoping now is that the last paper will be straightforward. Damn, I feel so excited even though I know I am not going to do much during the holidays. (IF ONLY IT's 7 WEEKS DAMN-IT!)

P.S.: learned a new word from one of the Trance title: Terai - pretty much it's Japanese (てらい) and it means affectation in English.

af·fec·ta·tion

–noun
1.
an effort to appear to have a quality not really or fullypossessed; the pretense of actual possession: an affectationof interest in art; affectation of great wealth.

It seems like the word is somewhat related to acting.

Am I ready for two out of three?

Finally, the day of the exam is tomorrow at 4pm. Pretty fast I'd say.


But am I really ready for this second of out three paper? I had written down a list of notes based on the what-to-study-for-exam hints. I don't know if it does help but I really do wish that I am able to answer all questions tomorrow. The doubts I have right now seems like undefined.

So as I say again, the sample paper looks straightforward but what I am wondering is will they use some of the same questions again or will it be changed totally? Is this even a necessary thought?

DeJaVu.. where are you when I need you.

Talking about DeJaVu, I had strange nightmares + dreams this morning.

임젠밍, 행운을빌어요!
ジェリー、がんばって!

How brain works

"We know that during sleep our body's cells repair themselves, growth hormones are released, our minds processes information, and we re-energize."
Source: Helium

Yes, with that fact about our brain processes information when we sleep, it's bad to do last minute revisions when that particular information is widely spread and there's a need to know a lot. (Unless your brain requires no-sort of any particular energy to work.)

Basically with early revisions, whatever information you have captured during the consciousness state will be processed into the deeper region of the brain during sleep. You will realize that the next day when you wake up, you have no problems answering a question that was supposedly alien.

Well, that is how I am able to learn the basics of Korean and Japanese. Day by day, as more sleeps are introduced, I am able to know better of all these basics.

Pymaxe

Thanks to ghacks.net, it showed me this open-source program where one is allowed to download any kinds of music/songs (if it's available on the net somewhere in the corner)(oh I realized there's 3 locations it searches).

Found a few Originals of the trance rips I had using this program. Neat!

The program is named Pymaxe



WIRELESS NETWORKING

CWNA - it may seems easy on the outside but for the exam, there's a serious need to memorize loads of texts. It's very unlike NETWORK MANAGEMENT where at least the points are easy to memorize as they are short.

Yes, knowing how to "list" and "give" is the easy part to memorize for WNET but the problem is with the chunk of texts that describes the feature/standards, etc.. Also there are processes of some of these features with more than 3 steps and each point is really kinda hard to memorize.

Also, upon looking at the sample paper that was provided, it seems that the 20marks from the long question is pretty straightforward, but I don't know for our case. Maybe same, maybe some alterations.

This really feels just like last year's NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE paper. However, this time round I have that full determination to get everything in my mind, thus I am kinda stressing out right now!

Please give me some good luck for this paper, blogger. lol.
Here I have to say the same thing again in Korean and Jap.

ありがとうございます!감사합니다!
Pardon, but my vocabulary for this two languages ain't wide yet.

P.S.: I lost my interest in sharing (it's a day without activity on Twitter and FB, good job ZM) plus it's good to know for myself that the word 'addiction' isn't in my English vocabulary (neither it is in Chinese, Jap or Korean)

blow away

Ranting on Twitter or Facebook isn't going to help for me since there's this 99.99% chance that it is ignored.
Sharing interests are also pretty much futile on social networks for me.

So, I will take my blog as a live matter to rant, talk about everything as humans are just not reliable. There seems to be so many things for me to say (pretty much negative ones) but on a third person's view, it will probably be something that is opposite or rather more different opinions.

I've decided and trying to stay away from Facebook and Twitter for a long time but usually it's to no avail due to the fact that I browse them just to look for updates on other things (Feeds and News) and not human statuses.

I always take it this way - if no one bothers what I do, or my interests, or what I shared so might as well I will ignore them too. I am always bad with conversations no matter what, so starting one is way worse than anything else.

I've accepted my fate of how my life goes. With the topic of fate comes girls.. what's so good about them I thought. Apparently they are there for the matter of distractions.

According to my fate, I doubt I even have one bit of attraction level to the girls out there. If that it is, so be it since I might as well also say I hate Singaporean girls to the max. If by chance a girl out there seems to look upon me, I will simply ignore. One basic reason is no money to spend on them (for those who think money > love of cause).

Also, I can't seem to care for people as I could only go out bother about my own. The only times I care is when I got exploited of my sincerity. Plus, there are certain people I do care though.. including parents that's for sure.

Accepting the fate makes my life way much simpler to go through. Watching dramas, listening to trance, playing games in the cyberworld, browsing web, solo-recreation are the best. Doing everything solo for the sake of own interests. Oh, I might even watch Liar Game The Final Stage myself after exams.

Gonna go through life with the DeJaVus I have.
If any friends read this - ごめんなさい!죄송합니다!
My expressions and emotions are probably lies if you ever see me next time.

すべてはうそです。- the same phrase again.
自分は金利重要なです。

one out of three

Today's NETWORK MANAGEMENT paper was fine. However, the questions were not what I expected except for the last question on QoS and I was definitely right about it - marking and conditioning.

Those chapters I focused on didn't really come out but of cause I was still able to do, luckily. Polling and logging came out too but I did not focus on it at all. Still it's common sense already so I got that right!

So, WIRELESS NETWORKING is the next paper and the format is the same as today's paper. But this god damn module is gonna be hard to revise due to the long winded notes and also there aren't any past year papers to practice. The tutorials are only handy when it comes to MCQ.. those answers to the short answer questions aren't short at all.. =O

Direct Translate of my name to 한국

My Chinese hanyu pinyin to Korean:

임젠밍
ImJenMing

LOL!..
So now another name added to my list and that makes:
  • Lim Zhen Ming
  • Jerry Lim
  • 林镇铭
  • ジェリー
  • 임젠밍
언어 재밌다!
Language is fun!

I'd never fail to like cold weather

This is why I always love cold weather. Your computer/laptop would usually work better without those stupid heat.

Random pics + new printer

As I said before, my life seems to revolve around my interests. This is one example:

It's Korean branded...
bonchon.com
Still looking as good as new :D

Maintainance isn't futile this time

Just some SUPER macro shot
SUPER macro shot 2 - dusty..

New printer bought from COMEX 2010 yesterday(in the time of posting this entry) for $98. Pretty good printer. It seems that I like Samsung products even more now.

Samsung ML-1660 Monochrome Laser Printer:

Samsung!
More Korean entities!

Lastly:
Right! just a pose

한국어

It seems that I have learnt 35% basic of all basics for Korean language.
With that, thinking I should be able to read Korean language, changed my Gmail language into 한국어.

But still I couldn't read much of it.. Only a few - which basically means that it's futile to change into Korean language interface..

It's the one and only top priority agenda after exams - to fully learn the language.

Interests

I didn't know my interests could change all of the sudden.
When I was young, my interest used to be on:
  • Games
  • Computers
  • Electronics
  • ....and many more
Now it seems that my interest added on, and also some are gone. The new ones are basically:
  • Dramas
  • Languages - especially Asian languages like Japanese and Korean
  • Music - it has gotten way stronger
The removed ones are games and probably girls.

I said girls doesn't mean I am becoming asexual, lol. Just that I don't feel the need for love from a 3rd party anymore. Parental love seems to be way much more important than anything else.

SO GET LOST ALL SG-GIRLS, I DON'T NEED YOU NEITHER DO YOU NEED ME! rofl~!

Fed up.. fucking fed up

So, I asked dad if I could get $ from him to buy the ink cartridge for our FAIL EPSON CX5500 printer.

The series of fail events goes like these:
First I bought the pink colour cartridge, and all was well until it does the head cleaning and it states that the black cartridge couldn't be used. Okay......

So then I went to buy the black one today. Installed it and it was working BUT nothing was printed out of the paper. Took out all cartridge and shook them well, then the same problem comes occur but this time it's yellow... WHAT THE FUCK?

F*ck you EPSON, why not design a printer where it can print even though other cartridge is having problem? FFS, trying to earn money through such dishonest method?

Sorry, but this will be the last of your product that I will ever use.

And I should go and buy Samsung ML-1660 Mono Laser Printer tomorrow - GAH, I need to print them so badly.

Friday, September 3, 2010

Am I ready? + P.S.

Upcoming is:

Am I ready for that? After doing 4 papers, this module still feels kinda alien and I am damn worried for the first Short Question (B1), especially if it comes out on the purpose of/describe protocol/server of Syslog, NTP, AAA, etc.

I am just unable to explain those.


Next is this:

I have done a spam on twitter - showing the need of some release.
BLA~ ARGh.... damn


and I need a car to drive! 
and I need a new phone.. 
and I need new trance to listen to..
AND I WANT MORE DRAMAS SHOWING 김태희 - キム・テヒ !!! 

감사합니다! - ありがとうございます!

oh yes, I understand Korean 'symbols' better now, just that typing it is all different thing.

New achievement!

Yea! Was so freaking worried that I couldn't pass my TP but it seems like the table turned.

Damn I got so much demerits on stupid mistakes like did not release handbrake and wide turn, still I thank the tester who's so good to give me a pass as I gotten 18 points.

It could have been 14 points but due to the ending part where I was supposed to turn in to the school gate and I turned into the wrong lane (cuz I kept telling myself to keep left at that point of time lol+omg). =\

If I ever get to drive, I must tell myself to be careful and possibly I still need lots of practice.

Oh yeah, since it's an achievement and I am happy that I passed.. now I shouldn't have a problem in focusing on revisions.

Still have things to achieve.....
