"You change your mind, like a girl changes cloth"
- Hot N Cold, Katy Perry

That's what katy perry says and.. ~~I think she's talking about me~~.

I always seems to make wrong decision, a moment I think of this, the other moment I think of that.

A lot of thing goes into my mind, and then my genius brain will interpret it and gave me so many path way to choose, which the genius-brain-of-mine™ leave me to choose.

I don't know. I think i'll take what it gives now.

Just go with the flow.

And, I love katy perry's song okay!

Damn, I did nothing!

Playing with Nikon D80

2009-07-06T10:16:00.002+08:00

So yesterday I got a chance to play with Nikon D80, and I took the baby out for a "walk", and shot until the battery dries. I had fun! Damn, imagine you watching "How to take nice photo" "How to ultilize a dSLR" tutorial, or checking out Chase Jarvis video almost everyday and never got chance to play with a camera, it's like learning how to swim without a swimming pool!

Nikon was amazing. So easy to use, I took about 30 minutes to "know" the camera (because I've been watching tutorial video all the time?) and I got to say that.. dad, when's my D90 coming?

Until the time when I know exactly what to do, the battery dies.

Yes.

Anyway,

I had hell lot of fun! And she is my sis LOL

More photos in my facebook album.

Exploring Alor Star - Pekan Rabu

2009-07-04T14:28:00.002+08:00

Been missing for awhile!

Going back to KL again, next semester begins next week and registration is on this friday. *sigh*

So there was one afternoon when I am seriously boring and nothing to do, I walk around dad's shop and found there's one Panasonic SD Camcorder sitting there. My reaction was like, let's shoot some shit!

I actually planned to shoot the whole Alor Star, which is my hometown (very small town anyway), but, should I say this fortunate or unfortunately, my dad sold this camcorder after I manage to shoot only 1 day.

The video quality turns out crap, but anyway, I playing this just for fun ;p. My background music was all done with Logic Pro, and video edited with iMovie '08.

How was it..?

Comments and critics are always welcome! =)

Rants

2009-06-20T14:45:00.008+08:00

Paddy field can be seen almost everywhere, the paddy smell, and the paddy "feel". Cows and sheep are walking anywhere, buffalo walking across the street..

... wait.

Is that seriously what you're thinking about Kedah?! Sigh! Although we are the rice bowl of Malaysia, but.. we're not that bad okay! ~~Except the UFO landed airport.~~ Seriously! Check out the airport in Alor Star, seems like UFO had just landed (a big hole in front of the entrance), and the situation remains the same everytime I fly back. It's a new airport man!

A visit up to the control room (yes, the place where they provides air traffic control) was awesome tho! Don't ask me how I get up there, all I can tell is, it's work purposes. Reality check, Alor Star's airport aren't happening tho. Only 5 (i think?) flights per day, AirAsia, FireFly and MAS flying to KUL. Thats all. Yes. Alor Star's airport only have flight from AOR to KUL. Well except for those trainee plane and Sultan's private jet.

Sigh. Why am I talking so much about airport now? I don't know why but all I know is anything that is related to flying a plane or making the whole thing work just seems so interesting.

With the blog post titled "Rants", I hope you expect to see all-in-one post. Well in case you don't, er, that's what I'm trying to write now.

So, what first?

Oh yes, I'm here in Alor Star, Kedah, my hometown. Currently on semester break (for 1 month!) until I get back to KL for next semester (I can't wait!!) on 9th of July. Well I've learnt a lesson here! Never book air ticket too early. I mean, low cost air ticket! I bought a 4th of July ticket back to KL before I find out that, the registration date is 10th of July. Well although it's just like 1 week, sigh, I prefer to stay here longer! Tried to change the ticket with AirAsia to make it 9th of July, they trying to charge me freaking 90 bucks ++, while the new ticket only cost like, 40 bucks!

Of course I bought a new ticket =.="

And, I'm going to KL again, this 23rd, morning AirAsia flight coming back on 24th, night MAS flight, for the RCF Loudspeaker seminar. Staying in Cititel, looking forward for that seminar as one Italian Engineer is coming for the talk, who, I don't know who the hell is that anyway. But, I'm quite sure that I could learn something from this seminar that's why I decided to attend that with daddy. (yes me and daddy are doing something similar, the same field with different career). Oops, I haven't even work yet ;p. More about what I like and what I'm studying maybe other post. HAHA.

DURIAN!

Smelly! My first impression towards durian. I don't like durian. I hate durian. That was before few weeks ago. I don't know why, like suddenly, I told mom that, I want to eat durian!

And i ate! And never stop eating after that. It came like suddenly, which, something just tell me that, I should eat durian. I'm weird, i know ;p

Here's some sad case. I've broken the car's back light and rear bumper when I'm trying to reverse park the car. Days before that I almost banged a car at the back, all caused by my slipper, the slipper slipped when I'm pressing the brake. Luckily I'm quick enough to brake. It's like, 2cm distance between me and the car in front.

Remember my cute lil cousin?

She had now turned to..

HAHA. Thanks to her sister, during the fight between both of them, the sister accidentally hit the mouth and the teeth (which already shaking) just dropped off. HAHA. I LOL when I heard about that.

Anyway.

oo you're so close to me now nikon. ;p

MSN Emoticons FTW

2009-06-08T18:21:00.006+08:00

What do you do when you're bored? I mean, seriously bored.

One of them is, when I'm seriously got nothing else better to do, I play with MSN Emoticons.

Like this is how it all get started

Oh well, the blurred text are meant to avoid misunderstanding, or eh, did I just caused more misunderstanding? Haha. Ask her.

*Oh and I'm trying to say tried, not tired. HAHA

So, trying to strike back, she tried another story line like this :

Er. Fail. Seriously failed.

HAHA

What about something like..

Please don't click the [close this window] button yet okay! I'm just being bored.

Ok here's the last one.

So, you know what to do when u're seriously boring now? HAHA

Oh by the way, my msn, smithteoh@hotmail.com .

Girls will always be girls.

2009-06-06T14:52:00.003+08:00

Another quick update from me.

From the above conversation, I would like to conclude that girls, they will always be girls, even if it's the deathliest disease around.

I'm going home!

2009-06-05T15:33:00.005+08:00

I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home

Okay enough spamming. I think I got the message delivered very clear now!

No I did not copy and paste, I type all okay!

Haha. I'm going home tomorrow. According to dad, tons of relatives in my house now, and probably tomorrow. Gosh, I don't wish to see the whole family waiting for me in the airport okay? ~~tons of lenglui waiting for me sound better.~~

Tomorrow 04:20pm flight and hopefully without delay will reach Alor Star at 05:15pm. No flight delay please, please, please, I beg you.

Still wondering if I should buy two dozen of Krispy Kreme (or equals to four dozen of sugar, sugar and more sugar) back home.

Or should I just buy sugars and flour?

Am I A Stand Out in My Life?

2009-06-02T00:44:00.001+08:00

Nuffnang has this event coming called Stand Out! With Tiger And Nuffnang on 6th of June.

In order to get invited to the event, you need to tell nuffnang what a standout you are in your life. For more information how to get invited just click here. Well, this post ain't for that purpose. I'm going back to hometown at 6th of June. =( Air ticket has been booked. =(. I can't go.

Anyway, the event made me think of something that I never taught before in my entire life. Really.

See, now I'm trying to convince myself that, yes, I'm standout in my life. But, how? why? Oh okay, I play the guitar.

I performed on stage. But. There's million more who play the guitar. And there's thousands more gig more often, and there's more and more people who play the guitar well than me, and not to say there are even more guitarist who play guitar to survive. So,

playing guitar made me standout? A big no.

Oh, so I play basketball. Er, Kobe Bryant play basketball, Dwyane Wade play basketball, LeBron James play basketball, Allen Iverson play basketball, Dwight Howard play basketball, so, who am I?

so basketball? no, no, no.

WHAT ELSE!

OMG!

School ha. Did having bottom ten almost every exam made me standout? If yes, I do stand out then! Er, well, being 1 of the only 3 chinese guy in class, is this.. standout also? And er, as a student whom name been listed in "Buku Ponteng" for tons of time (especially add math class?) , and being a student who get caught by principal in assembly and then get canned in principal's office because I "made noise" in assembly made me standout?

No way.

Hey don't get me wrong, I'm not that bad in my secondary school. In fact, thats what I call it experience. I'm only a light case, compared to others. Yes, there are lot more that you don't wish to hear. Errr...

No no, I still can't prove myself a standout yet.

Oh oh, I blog. I'm a blogger! *shines*

So? Do you know that how many blogs are now registered with blogger,wordpress, xanga? and not to mention about other blogging platform and other self-hosted blog. Now ah zhu ah kao ah meow ah wou ah beng ah seng ah lian ah hooi ah meng and even my ah mah can blog.

I definitely not a standout, if you ask me.

But I have a question for you,

why do you want to be a standout?

What a day.

2009-05-31T21:54:00.006+08:00

"stun him la!"

"noob hai!"

The clock strikes 12am. It marks the start of my second day after being officially 18. It is the place where all (ok maybe most) of the gamers do what they do at best, shouting and cursing while playing the oh-so-femes-DoTA. Don't ask me why I was there though.

"lei yao diu ngo mou?" (It says Did you **** with me?)

Something like that, I can't remember. (Hey, our brain is meant to keep something useful okay) And the fight starts. A lot of people going there, I can't see clearly. A guy whack another guy. I saw something look like a hammer. Another guy whacking another guy at the side. Well of course, for sure you will see some guy trying to stop both of them.

And a lot of cursing and cantonese-ing continue. I can't really understand much, all I know is both of them are diu-ing each other. It only lasted for about, 3 minutes, I guess? No blood involved, sad. HAHA. I hope to see more!

Er, no pictures tho, else I'll be the one who diu-ed by them.

3am, I think. We went out from the cyber cafe. Heading to the Steven Corner beside. Checked our wallet. Nothing much left. Scared of getting no transport going back, we decided to withdraw our money from ATM before going to eat.

There's exactly 4 banks in a row. We step in to the first one.

And the rest all looked exactly like this!

To make thing worst, it started to rain. Picture this in your mind, 3 guy running in the middle of the rain in freaking 3am to get money from ATM but all of the machine out of order.

FML!

However we still have enough money to pay for the taxi.

Planned to go genting the next morning. Planned to reach Titiwangsa LRT station at 9.30am. So we woke up in the morning (after 4 hours sleep?), and of course, to bath.

Turned on the water heater.

No water coming out.

Went to another bathroom. The same thing. Open the water taps. No water. Nothing.

WE GOT SCREWED.

Another friend of mine staying the other block in the condo, and yes, luckily he has water in his house, so we went over to bath.

Thinking that all of these will be the worst thing ever happen in one single day, we excitedly (do we?) went to Titiwangsa bus station after breakfast at OldTown. (You can go to Genting via bus either from Titiwangsa, KL Sentral, and, er, another place, which I can't recall now)

So met up with another friend in Titiwangsa bus station, we went to the Genting booth, and found out that, the next bus to Genting is 11.30pm. That time was 10.30am. We decided not to wait, as, you know, that place, sucks big time. The plan is now to go to KL Sentral and get a bus from there.

Took LRT, and straight to KL Sentral.

"Genting highland ka boss?"

"Semua bus sudah full la, 3.00pm next bus"

We went "..............."

"Taxi la boss. Taxi murah. Satu orang RM20 sudah boleh naik (which sums up RM80)"

Thinking that, it is school holiday, and the place must be filled with people and more people which we can describe as People Mountain People Sea(TM), we decided that, we are not going to Genting, anymore.

Oh, you asked me how I feel?

Let me tell you, I felt funny. Everything was so stupid and funny. What an experience. See, ATM not working, no water, and now, Genting plan is spoilt? HAHA. I can't forget this shit man. So what we do?

We went GreenBox Sungai Wang.

HA HA.

What a day. Seriously. What a day. I shall not forget this shit.

Er, last thing is,

Don't go Sakae Sushi after you watch X-Men.

It's the time of the year

2009-05-28T22:55:00.004+08:00

It is the time again, but this time is a little bit different from the past 17 times.

What the hell am I talking about? HAHA.

If Facebook didn't tell you this, let me say this just one time, today is, my birthday.

It's my freaking birthday.

No parties, anyway.

I'm now "officially" eighteen. So, now what?

18 sounds young. But 18 means a lot, I think? Well at least when you're 18, you can now, officially buy alcohol (?!) from 7-11, or you can now, officially buy a pack of cigarette. Don't get me wrong, I don't smoke, never, and won't. I drink, occasionally, not daily.

Oh, so, what more?

~~Officially click the link "Click here to proceed only if you are over 18" ?~~

I don't know. Suddenly felt like, 18 is just a number. I used to anticipate the moment I turn 18, I like most of the kid do (I think?), which I, don't know why. I've grown up a lot, I think.

Grown up, or being matured, means a lot. Growing up doesn't mean that you don't watch or like doraemon anymore, growing up doesn't mean that growing hairs all over your body, growing up means more than, at least for the one that I'm thinking now.

The way I react, the way I deal with problems, the way I think, and the way I behave (Although some still taught I'm childish), changes a lot. I'm not the one I used to be in primary school or secondary school anymore, hey, I'm now improved shaowei firmware upgrade version 18.1.

I don't know, what am I supposed to do in my one-time-only-eighteen's-birthday?

Anyway, Happy Birthday to Me, and let's see what awaits me for my birthday =)

Hometown.

2009-05-24T01:11:00.008+08:00

Here I am again, the heartbeat of Malaysia, the central of everything. Kuala Lumpur. Okay maybe not everything.

Back from my hometown after a two weeks "study break" (or what I call it holiday), I'm here again for the final exam before I'm going back again, 6th of June. The holiday was well spent, at least for me.

This is what I do almost everything. Helping dad out in his busy office. Setting up and patching all those cables for a few school's sound and lighting system. I did this all by myself WTF. Well at least I'm doing something that I like. Uh, and yea, helping out dad also means that I'm his driver all these while. I drove all the way to baling (and back) for a futsal's sound system installation. Seems like that Gila Steering (TM) symptoms I had already goes away, I'm so sick of driving now.

Play. Yes I did enjoy myself with my friends in this The Carnivall Water Theme Park, which I assume, not many of you all know the existence of this place. Just google this. Drive them all the way to Sungai Petani. He say I drive my porsche "laju jugak". Which is, slow for me. Maybe I should write more about this, er, maybe not. Check out all the photos here.

Eat. "Eat this fish, eat more la" says mom. "Why? KL don't have fish ah?" replies my dad. Yes. My mom is keep asking me to eat this and eat that, like, eh, eat more apple, eat more fish, eat this eat that. Hell, she even bought Zongzi for me, as if KL don't have all those thing. I know, I know. She loves me =) And all those thing that she asked me to eat, I probably won't eat them when I'm here, well for a very good example, apple.

Oh and ya, I did stayed in my auntie's place yesterday. It was.. funny.

The moment I said bye to my dad and mom and sis and hopped to my auntie's car, the two cute cousins started laughing.

I exchanged phone with my sis (her K660i) and now I shall say that this phone's camera sucks ball. Extremely noisy picture. But what to do, she is so cute =)

Well the two sisters did argue tho, as always anyway. Well if you can read chinese, then you know what its written on the whiteboard.

And this is something I won't forget.

"shaowei kor kor, you stay here longer la.. you stay here for.. erm.. for.. 100 days lar ok!"

but then the sister said,

"no, you stay here everyday okay!"

Final exam, Here I Come.

Touched.

2009-05-20T16:44:00.008+08:00

Two weeks before, I followed my friend's car back to my hometown and this saturday, I'm going to KL again with him. He's staying in Penang while I'm in Alor Star. The plan was this friday, I'll go to his place and stay at his place, then the next day leaving to KL in the morning.

It seems nice. So I said yes. During one of the dinner with my auntie from butterworth, she asked how am I going back and, she suggest me to stay in her house. Well, I said yes. (but in my heart I wanna stay in my friend's house)

Her very cute daughter, or my little cousin was very excited.

After the dinner, I told mom that, I'm going to stay at my friend's house. Actually thats what I taught all the while.. just that.. Not good ma reject people face to face. Keke

The next day,

Mom told me that my little cousin actually planned where I sleep, what to play with me, and, well basically everything for me to stay in her house. She told her mom that, "shaowei kor kor gonna sleep here!"

And that night, my little cousin called me when I'm writing this post in OldTown.

"shaowei kor kor, where are you?"

"I'm outside lor. Why?"

"Outside where? Roadside ah? *laughs*"

"Haha, No lah, Outside lah, why ah?" (Although I knew that she gonna ask me to stay in her house)

"You come stay at my house laa.."

"Don't want lar. Where I sleep wor?"

"Yerr you come la. Come la. You sleep on my bed la! I sleep on the floor lo!"

I'll be such an asshole if I said no.

Primary School

2009-05-19T18:52:00.012+08:00

Below is my own story. =)

Although I'm just turning 18 this year, but from what I've observed, education plays an very important role in one's character. I think everyone deserved a proper education since young. Although school days are kinda.. boring, but it is the fundamentals for us when we step outside.

Why?

Let me tell you how I actually realized how schools made an impact to my life. I'm born and raised in kampong area. It's called Singkir. (omg, google can seriously find anything). My very first education I ever get is of course, kindergarden over there. But er, nothing much on that as I had no memory at all of that time. HEHE.

By the time I need to attend primary school, that's about 7 I think? Dad decided that, I need to get better and proper education. So we moved to Alor Star, the capital of Kedah. I was then enrolled to SMJK(C) Keat Hwa K, one of the well known school among Chinese in Alor Star, because it was some what associated with SMK Keat Hwa secondary school. Er, more on that, later.

But the school was rather.. awful. But this 1 I can't find in google. Let me explain to you. That time, there are actually two schools (Keat Hwa K and Keat Hwa H) sharing the same building. One school in the morning session, and the other one in the afternoon session, and it changes every year, like, this year Keat Hwa K will be on morning session, the next year it will be on afternoon session. The cycle goes like this.

So sharing the same building means, sharing the same classrooms, the same hall, the same facilities, and well, almost everything, except the students, teachers, and the management. You know when two school share the same thing, for sure they will "fight" over something and not only the school, sometimes when you go to school, you might find the table gone missing, well, or maybe a more romantic one, a "love-letter" under your desk.

If you were to ask me, what's the most unforgettable thing ever happened to me in my primary school, I would tell you that it was the time where I, me, get a stroke from teacher because of the word "infamous". Ah. Yes. I'm not making this shit out.

I don't know how it all get started, my Chinese teacher was asking us about english vocabulary, if the memory serves me well. A friend of mine said "famous" I think, and well, without thinking twice, I said out loud, lao shi, INFAMOUS!

And she freaking stared at me.

You know what she said after that?

"Infamous?! There is no such word as infamous! You don't simply talk!"

Er, I'm standard 5 that time.. which mean I'm 11. And I'm freaking sure that is a word called INFAMOUS. eh hello you all know what INFAMOUS mean right?

And then, before I even have a chance to defend myself, SHE FREAKING CANED ME! YES I'M NOT MAKING THIS SHIT OUT. She caned me because I said "INFAMOUS", which is, not a English word for her. SHE DID!

Sigh. I think she hate me very much, so she simply find a reason to cane me. =x.

That's not the only case. Sigh the chinese school is making me so traumatized.

I remember it was Pre-UPSR test. And well, we are allocated to other class and with separate people sitting inside the class. There was this girl teacher, who look after us in the classroom. Half way in the exam, I noticed she actually closed her eye (or the eye looking down the floor, according to her) for quite a long period of time.

So after that paper we went back to our class, and discussing discussing when I said that, "eh, the teacher just now sleeping in the class lor! HAHA"

And the teacher (not the 1 sleeping) actually covered and say that maybe she was too tired and whatever. I'm not thinking too much that time, and taught it was just something I said and people will actually forget it.

I was wrong. So wrong.

So the next paper, the examiner is the same teacher again. Well I taught nothing gonna happen, I mean, I don't even remember the fact that I just said she slept in the class. And after finish the paper, it was when my nightmare kicks in.

She said, "Hold on. Who actually said that I slept in the class just now?"

Oh god. My classmate were looking at me, at I was panic. I was like, how the hell she knew?

Err, being a hero that time, *cough*, I raised my hand, and I said, "Teacher, Me, but.."

She said "Okay the rest, you can go out, and you, come here"

She immediately turned into..

...a tiger shouting at me!

I can't remember exactly what she said, but I remember she just keep scolding me for saying she was sleeping while the exam was going on.

It was recess time. The "crowd" was getting bigger.

And I'm trying to explain myself and she..end it up with a slap on my face.

I shit you not she SLAP ME ON MY FACE!

Oh god. Is that one of the reason why I'm so scared to get in chinese school after this? =x

Well of course, my life in primary school is not only getting slap or caned, I do have glory moment. *cough*

Entering the school in the last class for the first year, I managed to climb to the fourth class in the second year. Third year and fourth year I managed to get in second class and in the fifth year, which is Standard 5 will be the most happening year for me, I think?

Standard 5, I was in second class, which is, 5 Kuning. Don't laugh! And I was, the class monitor that time (only few months only before my place got replaced.. KEKE). For the first 3 exam, I scored the first in the class. I don't know how this happen. I don't seems like studying in home, and I have no idea at all how it happen. But for the 4th exam I get 10th in class, and for the final exam, I get the first in class again. And this qualifies me to get in the first class for next year, 6 Merah.

If you think that going to 6 Merah will make my result even better, you're wrong. I started to wonder if the reason of me getting 1st in class is because of the rest in the class is too stupid. Those freak in the first class are smart like! Oh My God. and I never climb to Top 10 since then. Not even Top 25.

I was at the Bottom 5. =x

I think that's all for today's post, more stuff to come next! Keke.

I'm Back

2009-05-18T13:22:00.005+08:00

Hey hi. I'm back, again!

My mind had been changing and changing lately. The mind keep changing and hesitating, I keep wonder if I should keep spend my time blogging, or shall I just stop blogging. Well I've again deleted all the post that I've written.

Er, sometimes, at some very moment, something just flash through my mind and says, Hey, I'm tired of blogging. Let's stop this shit. So that time, I don't know what happened and I "decided" to stop blogging. I was wrong though.

I always have stuff to share and say, but sometimes, I just felt like, "ah, what to blog today?" Then i realized something.

This blog is mine.

Am I right?

I'm just too slow to think of this, that I don't really need to update so frequent, I'll just need to say whatever I need to say. You agree right! But anyway, I still have a lot of stuff to update! At least 4 post a week, I promise.

So after I taught of that, I think that, hey, let's switch to wordpress. The simplicity of wordpress, the many ease of use in wordpress caught my attention, and yea, that was in the time when I abandon my blog. I started to plan to get a server, a domain, and host a wordpress blog.

Er, you see, as I said, my mind changes. I suddenly taught of the free and stable blogger.com. Yes. switching back to where I start.

And now, I'm here.

And I will, keep blogging at here.

Oh ya, If you're wondering who am I,

I'm shaowei.
