IT HAS ARRIVED!!!

the long awaited day has finally arrive... well... it was just 3 days of waiting... maybe i'm over exaggerating but then again it's my computer we are talking about.

anyway this is my order forms on tuesday
well, this order is for my motherboard and graphic card. i kept the bill separate to cause of the process i need to go through to apply for the lifetime warranty. the rest of my computer is on a separate order:
well, this is one order but newegg decided they didn't like shipping ti at the same time. but i'm all good with that cause it was from the same location and i just hope they will arrive at the same time.

well, so it's here or at least in the freaking mail room. well, i'm at work now and i'll did try to retrieve my computer before work but the mail room was close *sob* so now i've to wait until work to get it.

hopefully by tonight, i can get it up and running and start banging away at the months of gaming that i've miss out on. namely warcraft 3 and a couple new games:

1. CoD4 expansion pack (forgot name)
2. Far Cry 2
3. Crysis expansion pack
   
4. Assassin Creed (came free with my CPU)
5. Perfect World (my brother wants me to play with him)
6. Navyfield (cause i like blowing things up)
   

well, that should do for this weekend :P and there is still a lot of reading i need to do. so i can't spend all my time on games... life is unfair :(

i will definitely post another blog to show me getting my computer together and showing off it's awesomeness *EVIL LAUGHTER*

well, this turn out different

well, it was funny. at first i wanted to talk about the fact that i am sick. and it all change yesterday. i was talking to this boss of mine at my new work place. and we got into a sticky discussion or at least what would have been a sticky discussion if he had not been the one leading the conversation.

well, we talk about politics and then... something which i tread lightly... philosophy. well, i know who i am... and my way of thinking has always been different. so it is not something i voice so openly. well, anyway all this time i never knew what was the name of my way of thinking. i mean i know it's not the regular stuff and i don't mean that in a condescending tone. it's just i don't know what are the names of the different view. but i do know, there isn't a lot of "me" out there.

So, after about ninety minutes of talking, i found out, on a political point of view i am a liberal, not sure of the subcategory yet. As for my philosophical point of view, I AM AN OBJECTIVIST. well, there is a link to the way i see the world.

well, the most surprising thing that i would say is that i form this point of view without being influence by Ayn Rand works. i thought there was nobody like me or at least there wasn't a group out there like me. maybe one or two poor souls out there trying to justify the way they see the world. How naive am i? out of 8 billion people out there and i thought there wouldn't have been a movement that suits me just nicely.

anyway let me explain how i see the world or at least from the points Ayn Rand makes.

1. Reality exists as an objective absolute—facts are facts, independent of man’s feelings, wishes, hopes or fears.
2. Reason (the faculty which identifies and integrates the material provided by man’s senses) is man’s only means of perceiving reality, his only source of knowledge, his only guide to action, and his basic means of survival.
3. Man—every man—is an end in himself, not the means to the ends of others. He must exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself. The pursuit of his own rational self-interest and of his own happiness is the highest moral purpose of his life.
4. The ideal political-economic system is laissez-faire. It is a system where men deal with one another, not as victims and executioners, nor as masters and slaves, but as, by free, voluntary exchange to mutual benefit. It is a system where no man may obtain any from others by resorting to physical force, and no man may initiate the use of physical force. The acts only as a policeman that protects man’s; it uses physical force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use, such as criminals or foreign invaders. In a system of full capitalism, there should be (but, historically, has not yet been) a complete separation of state and economics, in the same way and for the same reasons as the separation of state and church.

Now let me explain the points above.

1. I look at facts alone. I don't let emotion get in the way of facts.
2. Well, the second point ties to the first point in the sense, i value logic above everything.
3. Now this point is very interesting. some people consider this view selfish or self centered or some other similar description. I don't live to sacrifice myself for anybody just because it's consider a good thing(emotions). I see it as i do what i must to make sure i'm happy. And it doesn't mean i never do a good deed, it's just i don't see it as a good deed. well, of course there are something that i do that isn't all that nice either.
4. Now, this point just means that, i value competition above anything else. Anything that supports the weak trying to bring everything up as a hold is bound to fail, from my point of view.
   

So, i am going avoid giving example at this point cause i don't see how it could end up with a smile. my views are already different. don't need to add more to the mix. So with this, i've one question. Any objectivist out there that i actually know?

my posts are way too long...

it took me a two days to realize that my post are way way too long. i quote from house:

Fourteen pages. The audience will be comatose by paragraph two.

yes... i probably would have killed somebody out there already... well, it's too late to do anything right about now, so i'll leave it at that and pray i don't kill anybody again :P

and here are some pictures. i don't feel like elaborating too much since i'm short on time.


This is by far one of the more interesting pictures that i have... i mean this is what happen to a floor full of guys who have nothing better to do i guess...


Have you ever seen a pepsi bottle like this? i mean even if you did it's probably when you are still a toddler... i found this last spring in my aunt house... talk about an old drink... too bad it wasn't wine. anybody want to give it a try? and maybe get a diarrhea for an hour? :P


btw, one of my classes is now working in a research lab, doing all sort of cool experiment, which i will talk about another time, can't seem to get the right pictures for that yet... anywho, this is what they have just in front of my research lab. it's suppose to be a genome sequence of a mice (which we frequently test on), but all i see is pretty color and a nice background for my cellphone.

before i leave, GUNDAM 00 started!! go watch!!

computer and shoes...

well, life is funny. i told my mom a while back that i would get a new computer after my mcat test, so she said it's ok. so she said gave me 500. and i was sweet. well, i knew it's going to be tight. so i look around for more funds. and the next place is my aunt. well, i've been hell of helpful to her so many times, i decide to bug her a bit. so finally after a while, she also agreed to another 500... now i'm a thousand up and i haven't even planned out what i want. since last term i was about 700 up on my account... well, i knew by the time i purchase the computer i wouldn't have the 700 to spend cause i don't have a job...

so, not after some calculation... but spending my money cause i don't have a job. well, that's because i lost my workstudy and thus my job. so i decided to look for one after my mcat test. you know so i can concentrate... at least that was the plan. well let's say thing fell apart. so now by now i'm 200 down... and so i think, by the time i get my check from my new job... i might be another 100 down... so, i would have around 400 bucks from my own saving... that's make a grand total of 1400 :P

now under normal circumstances... i wouldn't be spending all my money... but then again, it's my computer... and now i need a new one, and i don't think i'm going to spare any expenses. btw, i got a job :P and a way to make more money... well, some of you know how :P

so anyway this is my list of parts i'm going to get. so, how is gonna get jealous :P

NZXT LEXA BlackLine Black Steel

ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor

EVGA 896-P3-1267-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB

CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX 620W ATX12V v2.2

and there is also one more dvd burner that i would buy... and also.. well, my old hard drive and two more dvd and cd drive. so, as you can see, this is one wicked computer... well, look at the lighting. i don't really fancy red, but the blue version is more expensive. well at least it would be mix with blue. well, on the bright sight it will cost me about 1300 and you will never find a price this cheap with any prebuilt computer... only self build computer can be this cheap... well, anyway still need to check prices everywhere to see if i can get it any cheaper... btw, did i say i'm also going to get a 22 inch monitor to go with my 17 inch monitor... and thus making the setting a duo monitor :P jealous yet?

maybe not... but i've still an ace up my sleeve. my cousin has brought my brother a 400 bucks graphic card last year and when he as me what i want i decided nothing yet... so i'm hoping i would be able to convince him to get me an original 64bit windows vista and a sound card and that would be sweet.


So... let's make a transition to a second topic for me, shoes :P weird isn't it? i mean come on, i'm a guy... and so how can you expect me to talk about shoes.... so let's start. and you will understand. well, this is my shoes... and well, it's a shoes i brought from malaysia... i was thinking i'm probably the only one with that pair of shoes. design and all... why? there is two reasons

1. i mean it's usually the case where things you can just buy in malaysia, you can buy in US a while back already... this is at least what i thought.
2. and i've freaking hell traveled 20000 miles before wearing them!!
   
3. and also there is like a million design out there, with different color and everything.

Several days ago, i discover that i'm the only one with my shoes... i mean come on, it was the exact pair that i have!!! i mean it's impossible!!! at least in terms of the odds. so, i was walking down the street when i notice this guy wearing the exact same shoes as i am... i normallly would have walk at a quicker pace than most people. and would have been ahead of him... but today is one day, i stay back just to watch... and also took a picture :P

ain't i weird?

so, well, if you look close enough, you will see the it has green strips all over it. and well it's impossible fo rme to take that picture as you can see, just cause that guy is several steps ahead of me... well, i could have walk ahead and ask someone to take the picture for me... but i'm not that free. so here is pic of my shoes...



well, as you can see, it's the same. i mean it's seriously the same. well, anyway the whole point of this post i just to share the incredible odd that occur to me. so what do you think? did anybody else have this happen to them?

So an explanation...

So, i'm trying to do this like the third time already... with two failed attempt, i don't think i can take a third. btw, this happen a month or more ago, just didn't get the thing to post. so let's start :P

the first question of the day is: WTF is wrong with this picture?

now, if you can't find out what's wrong with this picture... i'm sadden by how little you know me... so scroll down for an answer :P








































so, now the answer... where the fuck was my computer... well, it crashed. and i mean it just refuse to start up after i shut it down for four hours... i mean what the hell could happen in 4 hours without me doing nothing...it's just plain weird. so, this is probably the best situation for me. i mean it happen one week before my mcat test. so i was like yes!! now i can concentrate on studying for the mcat. well, it was thrusday and so my test is like next saturday...

ok, now let's see the twist turner. i mean a serious twist turner. So, on sunday, six days before the mcat test, i decided to check up on the test to see what i need... now the most stupid thing happen, i remember the wrong FUCKING date... it was YESTERDAY... i FUCKING MISS IT BY 24 FUCKING HOURS... and i thought this was gonna be a good freaking semester...

so now i have to wait for the next test date. which is in january... and well, no refunds too. that just means i loss 200, well and it's not malaysian. IT'S US DOLLARS... well, guess i've just lost 200 dollars. what a way to start the year. so, let's see i lost 200 bucks and my computer broke... in all likely hood. i say it's been a magnificiant day.

well, so i went one month without computer... damm it was hard.
