Peanut’s com is gone

Posted by peanut on Monday Nov 24, 2008 Under bad stuffs

Peanut is currently facing the biggest challenge in his computer life. His computer refuses to install the Windows XP after he reformatted the com. It would be static in the set up screen continuously looping Windows XP advertisements and new features without any pop ups and prompt for further instructions. After 30 mins of wait, an error log pop-ed up saying that a fatal error of 80096001 is encountered.

Anybody who faced this problem please contact peanut or leave a comment here.

It will very much be appreciated.

Peanut had not been using his computer for 2 days already.

He doesn’t wanna say RIP to his current hard disk because he thinks it still has potential and he wants to reanimate that stupid hark disk even thou it fails him this time.

Sigh!

Locked outside!

Posted by peanut on Wednesday Nov 19, 2008 Under bad stuffs, blogin

Our one and only lock gave up on us today. Had been trying to opening it from the outside but was stuck. I managed to get the door slightly and for the first time, asked my neighbour auntie to help but nothing can be done. And I thought I could climb in from the other side of the street.

Photobucket

Pretty straight forward from here, step on the air-conditioner’s cage, leap up and whole the wooden window and somersault in. If the Prince of Persia is here, he could do it in few seconds. But for me, maybe slightly clumsy. But I was smart enough to call my housemates and they said they latched the door from the room. So even if I could get into the balcony, I still couldn’t get into the house.

Final decision, Leedwi and I decided to let the professionals do their job.

Before that, let’s admire my neighbourhood while waiting for the pro.

Photobucket

That’s the entrance to our apartment.

The next block.

Photobucket

The PRO. He broke off the lock with his ox strength. Power giler.

Photobucket

This lock costs 550 rubs. Plus opening fee for 400 rubles. Sum - 950 rubs

*To my housemates, please pay us that amount back, lazy to retell the story vocally since I blog d. A good way to promote my blog. LOL*

I think, it is damn expensive la! The neighbour even told us to pay her the electricity we used when the guy needed a power source. I think she joking only. But when she said that, I said no problem I’ll pay -_-’

Mafan betul!

Born to be bad?

Posted by peanut on Friday Oct 24, 2008 Under as a med student, bad stuffs, characters

Well, this is not for me. But after 7 years here, I think some people are born to make things bad, or make life miserable for other people.

My group had been paired up with another group since 1st year. Occasionally, we would have some of the classes together, and that day would end up like the worse day ever on earth.

It makes me understand that not everybody is educated the same way. Even thou you are in a med school it doesn’t mean that you know anything about politeness and culture. These people are rude, brainless and no culture at all. The sound wave of their unknown language to use could reach so high that some of us could have headache after a day of class with them. Not to mention the sound of them banging the table, talking on the phone (when the doctor is explaining in front), making stupid useless comments and jokes.

There are times that we had try to tell them to tune down, and even took action by informing to the dean that we would not want to share any class with them. But it seems that our university is too ‘business-minded’ to care. They are like monkeys that could not be tamed. This is why, during classes that we have to share a classroom with them, we secretly pray that the teacher who conduct the class is the strictest and baddest ass in the department. That way, they would suffer!

Not to mention that they would come to class 2 hours late! It would make my day if they are told to go home. I would definitely buy my classmates beer if the teacher could use the F word but too bad they are too kind.

I start to wonder if these people even have brain -_-’

Remember the ‘friend’ who I didn’t wake him up in my previous post?

There is a system with him that makes me don’t like him. Let’s see how evil I am:

During 3rd year, he would come to class, complaining about getting sick and would like to go home earlier. He would always ask the teacher for permission to do so. And most of the time the teachers are just too kind to even ask more. For me, all these are bullshit. My Christians friends in my class even say that I’m so bad for not showing any care.

Each day, he would come to class, and my friends would ask him about his health, give him advice, trying to help him in this and that. But I sat silent. Until one day, the below conversation took place (I will refer him as J in this conversation).

Blablablablabla…. (Conversation before this is just something like below)
Friend : “J, if you have problem sleeping at night and feel tired during the class, try to drink a cup of warm milk, it will help!”
J : “Ok, no problem.”
Friend : “Try not to sleep during the class, we tell you all these because we care for you.”
Me : “Ops, don’t use the word ‘we’. J, I’m going to be honest to you that I don’t care for you, at all.”
Friends : (everybody silent).

3 years after the above conversation, they know I was correct.

J would ask for earlier dismiss from the class at least twice for each rotations, using various excuses. His favorite excuse would be ‘the house pipe burst excuse’. According to that, if not mistaken, the pipe burst around 5 times a month, and it only burst during the starting of the rotation.

And today we had a class nearer to the center, instead of the far away hospital that I blogged about 2 days ago. He went home earlier giving another kind of excuse the day before and he didn’t ask about what to study the next day. In the end, he end up in the far away hospital instead of the one that we are suppose to be in.

He called me in the morning
J : “Bing! Why you didn’t told me that it is in Kim (the place we are in) today?”
Me : “Why you didn’t ask?”
J : “Haichooooo.”

He didn’t came to class at all today, saying that there is an accident on the way and he got to the place late at 11.30.

In the lecture, he saw me.
J with angry tone : “Bing! Why you didn’t told me man….”
Me : “Do I look like your baby sitter?”
Me again : “Do you need a baby sitter?”
Me again : “DO you f***ing need a BABY SITTER?”
J : “…………”

Sorry, abit emo today. But I’m seriously so not SYOK with him. Duh…

I shall study more and be a better doctor. I could do so much difference just by stopping people from going to them. Grrr….

Hunting for wordpress theme

Posted by peanut on Saturday Oct 18, 2008 Under bad stuffs

I had been hunting for a wordpress theme that suit my taste for quite some time already but there is none!

Photobucket

The fact that I tried out more than 10 themes on the testing platform is just so disappointing! Most of them are not coded properly, either having problem with displaying the background color at the bottom of the theme, or problems with saving the comments done by the administrator!

The reason of me wishing to change to a wordpress platform is that:

  1. Their themes enable a comment box under the post, instead of opening another comment window to post a comment.
  2. They have widgets
  3. And I agree that the platform is more powerful, but it is not really THAT powerful when we ‘the know nothing geek’ can’t figure out how to use them! Or we just don’t have time to figure out how to use them!

In the end, it is just a whole bunch of disappointments.

talking about jinx

Posted by peanut on Monday Jul 7, 2008 Under bad stuffs, blogin, cool stuffs, magic

Well, today is definitely not my day. Well, not to say all, maybe only for this morning. As I blogged about it yesterday, today is suppose to be my first day of practical in Kluang hospital. My mum woke me up at 6.30am (wow!) and I reach there around 7.30am. I noticed that I took the wrong documents which were needed, so I drove all the way home to get them, and on my way back to the hospital, I noticed some liquid splashed out from under the bonnet. And after a few more meters more dirty liquids came out and I decided to stop at the road side. I know something bad happened (even idiots would know).

Photobucket

The cover of the radiator is gone!! I seriously don’t know how can that happen. Seriously frustrated big time!

Maybe I didn’t lock it well enough yesterday when I added water. Damn! Not to mention that I almost step on dog’s shit when I get down from the car. Okay, it was ALMOST. And I accidentally knocked my own head while entering the car because of wanting to avoid the shit, (and another time when I was trying to get into the car after fixing the cap).

Knowing that I can’t get back to the hospital with my whole bonnet stained with dirty water (and the most important, the engine will break down or explode because of the heat, haha), I drove home, and proceed to think of a good get-away plan. It was almost 8.30am by then. Well, I ended up calling my friend Tze Wei to come and pick me up and go a spare part in town. He was doing his practical in the hospital so I gotta wait until 10 plus. Haha, don’t know why I’m so sure that he would do that for me, that is what I call friends -lah! If somebody is in deep shit, the one that helps is ‘THE ONE’. Anyway, I gotta meet his gf as well. LOL.

Actually I did try to walked out to the shops to look for any garage but I bumped into Eesen’s father and he told me that the nearest spare part shop is in town.

I got the cover, for merely RM15.

And it was 11pm and I can’t go back to the hospital. LOL. So my ‘first day’ is postponed to tomorrow.

Oh! And forgot to mention that when we are about to set off to get that cap, the postman delivered my bicycle magic card from UK! (What is today? Good luck messed up with bad luck?) Hahaha.. Here are some of the pictures:

Photobucket

See? Proofs that eBay and Paypal actually works!

Photobucket

It is really cool, the deck is air-cushioned and I can fan it out nicely without any problem. Play with ease. Haha.. A piece of new ‘toy’.

Photobucket

The joker, as cool as it looks on the site. Envy?

And then I took the 1pm bus to JB. Reached there around 2.40pm, took a taxi to Pan Global Plaza, hand in my Indian visa application form and straight away proceed home, got back here around 5pm and blogging this down. This must be the fastest one day trip to JB I had ever had.

Photobucket

It was raining in Johor Bahru.

Photobucket

The trip wasn’t too boring as I have my new iPod to play with and I brought along my new cards as well.

The trip is okay, but it costs like:

Bus to and fro = RM7.50 x 2 = RM 15
Taxi to and fro = RM 10 x 2 = RM 20
Visa application = RM 160

I’m a poor guy now. Okay, wish me luck for tomorrow’s first day. Ciao!

Sh*t happens II

Posted by peanut on Thursday Apr 3, 2008 Under bad stuffs, blogin

Ok, I know it is a bit too much to post up 2 posts for one day but actually the previous post is typed few days ago..

So today, I decided to call up the company for the last time, asking why the internet is not working (it is not compatible with my housephone line at home) and if things can’t be solve fast, then I’ll unsubscribe it!

me : Why is my internet still not working?
them : I’ll connect you to the engineer.
me : (waited….)
them : Hello..
me : The dsl light on my modem keep on blinking and I can’t access to the internet.
them : Wait, let me check your account (see whether I got top up or not konon..)
me : I called 2 days ago and you said you will call somebody to come fix it but nothing happens.
them : We promise that we will fix it in 10 days.
me : 10 days? What am I going to do without internet in 10 days?
them : …….
me : Ok, how do I unsubscribe this service and can I get a refund.
them : You can do it. You still have 1350rub in your account.
them : Please bring the contract and photocopy of you passport and write a notice for a refund.
me : Errr.. How long will the refund takes usually?
them : Around 2 months.
me : ……. (Gasp! Grrrr.. What the HELLLLL!!!!$#%^#&%*)
me : (Hang up)…

Of course the conversation was in Russian. And after I hung up the phone I seriously feel like cursing.. 10 DAYS???? 2 MONTHS???? What the hell is that!!!!

Sh*t happens

Posted by peanut on Thursday Apr 3, 2008 Under bad stuffs, blogin

This is ridiculous! My house decided to change from this service provider DOM.ru to Disel as Disel provide unlimited megabytes of usage with a speed of 256kbps (the previous one provides 20Gb with the speed of 256kbps and if more than that the speed drops to 32kbps). And know what, it is not working! At first I took all the trouble to subscribe to it, and when I got home, the dsl light on the modem keeps on blinking! (normally it should be just there all the time, not blinking) And when I called the technicians they said that I need to pay for the month first. Well, there goes my 1750rub including all the charges and it is still not working.

And guess what, it works when I pick up the phone and call the technicians. What a joke! The light would only stop blinking when I use the phone to call somebody. Argh. I seriously need to call them up again so that they send somebody to look at this, one of my friend who subscribed to the same operator said that they never fix the problem and she ended up switch on the house phone whenever she uses the internet. But for me, I can’t even use the internet just by switching on the housephone, I need to call somebody so that the phone is always connected, and then only the internet will work! Arrrrr…

If you see this post, it means that I’m calling somebody so that I can use the net… Grrr..

p/s:
cool, I set my handphone to no vibration and repeatedly call my own handphone from my housephone. The dsl light stop blinking and my LAN got connected but the internet gateway didn’t pop up! Arggghh.. I hate days without internet. Actually I can live without internet but the idea of me not updating my blog when I just got approved by Adsense is a non-sense!!!! I wanna put the Google search box in my blog so much now, and I wanna access to my Hotmail now, and I can’t!! Now I need to save this piece of post in my Notepad and only publish it when I got connected later. Argh.. Damn pathetic!

p/s 2:
yo.. actually I’m really unhappy about all these internet stuffs but when I got online today (using normal dial up with modem, imagine how pathetic I am), am so happy to see comments from some new people and old friends!! holla to Nichny and Jiaren!
