How do you know you’re a tech geek..

…

when you see the movie IP MAN and think “wow.. Internet Protocol Man”…

which turns out to be a chinese movie that’s supposed to be read like YIP MAN..

OMG

Internet-Protocol MAN

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

wish you all a happy happy happy Chinese New Year!

it’s the year of the Ox

so

祝大家 力大如牛, 新年快乐！！！

for the record this has got to be the WORST cny i’ve ever celebrated for the past.. i dont know.. 21 years? next year might be the same too, since I’ll have to celebrate it here at india..

why is it the worst? for starters, it’s the first time i’m away from home. then, there’s a PHARMACOLOGY CLASS TEST on Wed. 28 Jan. Yup. The third day of CNY. WTH la..

but at least i think i should be grateful, grateful that i’m not having my University Examinations coming up.. else it would really really be THE worst CNY ever.. and of course the most stressed CNY.. for those who will be having their Unis soon.. Good luck !!

Received these pics in my inbox today.. kinda funny..

the subject is : Nikon S60 Advertorial. LOL

it comes with one hell of a face detection algorithm..

even people peeking at the building behind can be detected..

..or those faces in the bushes..

or even ghosts in your room!

Nikon Coolpix S60. The camera you just got to have.

hahaha

Facebook

Noooo… facebook… is unavailable… ARGH!!

sigh.

Some things are just not worth it..

I mean that as in sometimes in life, when shit happens, there’s no need to feel upset or angry about it. I mean, it cannot solve problems. Anger might motivate someone to do something, but then, it’s not the best solution. In fact you might end up doing something you’ll regret for the rest of your life, if, you’re still alive after whatever stupid thing you’ve done

for those who did read my MSN status for the past couple of days, you’d noticed that, –[v]kashin–, who seldom post personal messages on MSN, actually does post one, and it goes like this

“WTH need to move again??? dammit”

profanity. not my style eh. =P

anyway the source of all evil is presented as below :

Demarcation of hostel.. #@$#@$

So

because of their brilliant idea of “demarcating” hostels, we have to move back to our old hostel, the one we stayed in when we first came to Manipal, and had to move out of after the first 6 months. And now, after almost a year of letting us staying peacefully here, all of a sudden this notice comes.. and we have to shift hostels.. AGAIN.

AGAIN.

This is some conspiracy i tell you..

or.. it could be that it is for our own good.. see, with more shifting hostels we’d get to exercise more, and with exercise we can lose weight.. and be healthy!

Badan cergas, minda cerdas, like how i remembered it..

if it’s that effective, then why not we MOVE EVERY SINGLE GODDA**ED WEEK? oh and since first year students have classes on Saturday, we can always hold it on Sundays! sorta like a gotong-royong of some sort!

working together can get alot of jobs done!

plus it brings people closer together..

So, MAHE hostels.. Lets MOVE EVERY SINGLE WEEK OF THE YEAR!

oh wait.

i forgot to highlight on the other point.

since we’re supposed to move on the EVE OF CHINESE NEW YEAR / FIRST DAY OF CHINESE NEW YEAR,

we should make it an effort for the WEEKLY shifting to specifically on :

1. New Year’s day
2. Deepavali
3. Gandhi’s birthday (perhaps?)
4. Republic day of India (oh wait it’s the same day as CNY this year)
5. Christmas day
6. Hari Raya, including Hari Raya Haji and Aidilfitri
7. And all other days people celebrate

well whatever happens happens, and..

nothing can be done about it anymore i guess.. What to do, we’re minority here. and it’s not good to create trouble, not at home, not to say at other ppl’s country.. and also, there’s like 1 year left, maybe a little bit more, if I pass all my exams without problem..

just hope that they dont screw with us again after this.

i think, even the patience of saints have limits.

my first zipper shoes!

First post of 2009!

Hooray!  it’s 2009!

hmm..

okay i admit i was 4 days late.. but in my defense at least i posted on the dying hours of 2008 eh? =P

well life goes on as usual, dont really have the New year feeling. Still feels old. nothing new. Dunno la. perhaps because of 1st jan still got class n all.. boring boring..

And the first 4 days of 2009.. nth special.. played a friendly match against b19 last night, and it’s really friendly i suppose. no pressure in the air. But unfortunately we lost. again. We need  more practice! Night practices feels quite nice actually. not hot n no idiots playing crickets on the court. oh wait there are… IDIOTS…

Anyway..

i have Microbiology PBL presentation tomorrow.. and contrary to first block PBL this time cannot divide. And there will be questions.. damn pressure..

and about the presentation.. here’s something interesting to share about.. it’s something i found..

 

just a screen shot of the page.. nothing special no? continue reading..

Oh wow… So single women doesnt have to spend a lot of money to go beauty salons just to attract people.. just get infected by Toxoplasma gondii!

(erm.. this is meant as a joke, am not suggesting people to go n deliberately get infected by T.gondii ok? =.=”)

lol

Anyway.. i’ve given it some thought, and decided that iPod Touch is too expensive.. way out of my league.. plus it’d be kinda big to bring around manipal.. so instead i’m now considering

Slim.. and nice colours.. =)
