NOT!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;so, it's been a while since i posted... well, there is a reason... finals exam week, and no, i don't want to talk about it. AND it's not because &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;i'm&lt;/span&gt; doing so well in school. ANY attempts to bring it up with be treated with HOSTILE intend and a quick execution will take place instantly with a chance of appeal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;i'm&lt;/span&gt; done having some fun with my posting, let's get down to the real reason why &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;i'm&lt;/span&gt; posting this. &lt;a href="http://useless-and-oblivious.blogspot.com/2008/11/omg-3-post-in-24-hours.html"&gt;a while back, i said i wanted to try this new and fancy &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;malaysian&lt;/span&gt; restaurant&lt;/a&gt; :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so, being me i went in for the first time with no intend on eating but instead i just ask for a menu i can take out with me. i didn't feel like spending a lot of time in the restaurant deciding what i wanted to get. so i figure &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;i'll&lt;/span&gt; return the next day for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;two things caught my eye:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;One was the word "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;popiah&lt;/span&gt;" under the appetizers... i was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;omg&lt;/span&gt;. could it BE? the very same &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;popiah&lt;/span&gt; that i love to each every single chance i get in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;malaysia&lt;/span&gt;, be it at home or even in my most &lt;a href="http://jun_lee_useless_and_oblivious.blogs.friendster.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/dscf0651.JPG"&gt;favourite hawker center&lt;/a&gt;, bee &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;hooi&lt;/span&gt;. i think i spelt it right. it's the one located right by &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;pulau&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;tikus&lt;/span&gt; :P a bit pricey compared to normal hawker center (god am i cheap).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, long story short, that was something &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;i'm&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;defiantely&lt;/span&gt; going to order even if it's going to cost me 3 bucks for one roll.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now the second thing that caught my eye too, is char &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;koay&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;teow&lt;/span&gt;. well, obviously it wasn't written in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;hokkien&lt;/span&gt;. it was more like fried &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;koay&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;teow&lt;/span&gt;... i think there was the word &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;singapore&lt;/span&gt; in it somewhere... but who cares, the listed &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;ingrediant&lt;/span&gt; is exactly right... &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;omg&lt;/span&gt;, another favourite food right from my &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://jun_lee_useless_and_oblivious.blogs.friendster.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/dscf0651.JPG"&gt;favourite hawker center&lt;/a&gt; again... &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;lawl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;ok&lt;/span&gt;, so this is what i got...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SUMyJumEbPI/AAAAAAAAAIc/apSW07VoVQw/s1600-h/1126081341.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

uses extra &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27"&gt;sause&lt;/span&gt; where you have to dip it in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion: the taste was just down right outrageous, i could have done a better job myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Char &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28"&gt;Koey&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29"&gt;Teow&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRO: the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30"&gt;ingrediants&lt;/span&gt; were right, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31"&gt;chinese&lt;/span&gt; sausage, prawns, bean sprout and thick white noodles.&lt;br /&gt;CON: no egg, overkill of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32"&gt;soya&lt;/span&gt; sauce making my face cringe &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33"&gt;everytime&lt;/span&gt; i eat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion: like the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34"&gt;popiah&lt;/span&gt; the taste was completely outrageous and also because of the excessive used of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35"&gt;soya&lt;/span&gt; sauce, i got a headache right after finish the meal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to sum it up, i guess my search for a true &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36"&gt;malaysian&lt;/span&gt; food in US will go on... and let's end it with what i hope to eat here in US:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SULaRMloN-I/AAAAAAAAAH0/ZWFLYIKAPMw/s1600-h/BeeHooiChar.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

THEY HAVE SCREWS. so after figuring it out i can finally open the case and get started. everything else came out of the box nicely without much hassle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now, there are certain order to install every single component.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;power supply to the case&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;place cpu on motherboard&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;install bottom part of a heatsink to the motherboard&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;then the top part of the heatsink&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;place RAM on motherboard&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;place motherboard in case&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;attach power supply to motherboard and also wiring from case&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;place hard drive and dvd drive to the case&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;attach power supply to hard drive and dvd drive and also wiring to motherboard&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;place graphic card to motherboard&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;attach power supply to graphic card&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;attach power supply to the case fan&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;it sure does look simple doesn't it? it's not!! i got through the power supply installment &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;without a problem... but installing the cpu became my worst nightmare....&lt;/span&gt;imagine putting this cpu:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSc7vPdq6YI/AAAAAAAAAEc/kKYEQ6bw8NU/s1600-h/original.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 274px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSc7vPdq6YI/AAAAAAAAAEc/kKYEQ6bw8NU/s320/original.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271247571651324290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;on to this motherboard...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSc77ZQBSfI/AAAAAAAAAEk/AnIilJBGWyM/s1600-h/Sockel_775.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 294px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSc77ZQBSfI/AAAAAAAAAEk/AnIilJBGWyM/s320/Sockel_775.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271247780436855282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;ya... so what's the problem? if you look closely at the motherboard. each of the gold things are pins... very fragile pins, that if you bend it by force, they won't cover it in your warranty... so, let's see... people would ask, what's the big deal? ok, fair enough, now imagine you need to shut another panel on your cpu to secure it, so it look something like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSc8mEH8e7I/AAAAAAAAAEs/u2U6G0ACQ_0/s1600-h/lga775.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSc8mEH8e7I/AAAAAAAAAEs/u2U6G0ACQ_0/s320/lga775.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271248513500216242" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;as you can see there is no cpu in this picture... but that's no the point. the force required to snap the lid shut is about how much force you will apply to open a jar of jam that has been VERY VERY TIGHTLY SEALED... so, basically i'm pushing down on the cpu with enough force, i'm sure to crushed the pins... now the problem is i tired using less force, then taking it out, to see if i've even bend the pins... but the pins are RIDICULOUSLY SMALL... and even if my near perfect sight, i can't tell whether it's bend or not... but basically every time i applied more force... i got a MINI HEART-ATTACK... until finally i decided fuck this... and i applied enough force in one go to close the thing....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so, that's bad enough... worst is still yet to come... I DON'T HAVE ANYWAY TO KNOW IF I'M SCREWED UP... well, not at least until i get the computer up... what a long night this will be....well, at the end this is what my motherboard look like after step 5... ready for step 6 :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSdgJNXKEPI/AAAAAAAAAGU/9osxttIq_Zg/s1600-h/DSCF0828.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSdgJNXKEPI/AAAAAAAAAGU/9osxttIq_Zg/s320/DSCF0828.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271287600182333682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh and this is what my computer look like before all the installation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSdgVkKjrdI/AAAAAAAAAGc/-LCrns1io0A/s1600-h/DSCF0829.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSdgVkKjrdI/AAAAAAAAAGc/-LCrns1io0A/s320/DSCF0829.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271287812461931986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pristine is the word i would use&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and pretty much after that i'm too work up to remember to shoot my camera... there are several shots of the stuff in the box but that's about it... maybe i can show you :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway, the only real problem i encounter after that is the installation of I/O plate... it's just annoying... btw, one of the selling point of this power supply i got:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSdX2c73FMI/AAAAAAAAAFU/k1yUvuy9ACI/s1600-h/DSCF0821.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSdX2c73FMI/AAAAAAAAAFU/k1yUvuy9ACI/s320/DSCF0821.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271278481852273858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was that it was a modulated version... this basically means i could attach whatever wire i need to the power supply and to the component and NOT ANYTHING MORE than what i need... the funny thing was that in the end of the day, i used it all...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so, anyway i think i'm just gonna post the rest of my picture... to lazy to write more... ask question if you have i guess... although i highly doubt anybody ever reads all the way down or right in the middle... plus, who the hell actually builds their own computer...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSdafpt--bI/AAAAAAAAAGM/y4p9qgKucrc/s1600-h/DSCF0826.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSdafpt--bI/AAAAAAAAAGM/y4p9qgKucrc/s320/DSCF0826.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271281388681623986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my motherboard... i like the box :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSdZa9GvCVI/AAAAAAAAAF0/PGdlBWNXEao/s1600-h/DSCF0823.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSdZa9GvCVI/AAAAAAAAAF0/PGdlBWNXEao/s320/DSCF0823.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271280208474736978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my graphic card... err... do you know how long is my graphic card?

Basically i needed to transfer my samples into ten lanes that is also filled with another buffer. now the problem was that i didn't write down what's the concentration of the buffer suppose to be, and being new, i didn't know everything is suppose to be 1X not 4X or 5X. i just assume that different experiment will use different concentration... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;so i load 5X of running buffer&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the results were&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; fantastic&lt;/span&gt;... in not a good way... i had 6 sample and 2 molecular marker... so i had to load them in one by one... the funny thing was by the time i load the 3rd sample, i felt something was wrong... my sample didn't want to settle down... like they won't go down... i thought maybe i need to give it some time... so i continue to load the rest of the sample and molecular marker... when i was done the result was amazing... the first two sample i load was &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;GONE... POOF INTO THE AIR&lt;/span&gt;... &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;somebody stole my sample&lt;/span&gt;? well, not exactly... i look at the third sample and guess what i saw?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the sample was &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;CLIMBING OUT OF THE LANE&lt;/span&gt;. it's a freaking sample and it's climbing out... oh yeah, i'm loosing sample by the minute... so yeah, i'm slightly screwed... well maybe completely screwed cause i can't continue without my sample... it took me a while to figure out my mistake... so i related it to my coworker at the sFn...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSdMWNf0DwI/AAAAAAAAAE0/-PiM3DdP_-Q/s1600-h/sercet+group.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SSdMWNf0DwI/AAAAAAAAAE0/-PiM3DdP_-Q/s320/sercet+group.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271265833324384002" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;guess what they do? they set up a facebook group just for me... oh yeah, and it's a secret facebook group...

discussion or at least what would have been a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;sticky&lt;/span&gt; discussion if he had not been the one leading the conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, we talk about politics and then... &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;something which i tread lightly&lt;/span&gt;... &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;philosophy&lt;/span&gt;. 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 &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"me"&lt;/span&gt; out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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, &lt;a style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" href="http://www.aynrand.org/site/PageServer?pagename=objectivism_intro"&gt;I AM AN OBJECTIVIST&lt;/a&gt;. well, there is a link to the way i see the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway let me explain how i see the world or at least from the points Ayn Rand makes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Reality exists as an objective absolute—facts are facts, independent of man’s feelings, wishes, hopes or fears.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Now let me explain the points above.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I look at facts alone. I don't let emotion get in the way of facts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Well, the second point ties to the first point in the sense, i value logic above everything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7380878251553303158-856827645234418968?l=useless-and-oblivious.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://useless-and-oblivious.blogspot.com/feeds/856827645234418968/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7380878251553303158&amp;postID=856827645234418968&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7380878251553303158/posts/default/856827645234418968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7380878251553303158/posts/default/856827645234418968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://useless-and-oblivious.blogspot.com/2008/10/well-this-turn-out-different.html' title='well, this turn out different'/><author><name>Jun Lee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15183170175974706347</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SPPJuS6QnwI/AAAAAAAAACE/dQXwFOpqhTU/S220/n634830866_912236_7577.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380878251553303158.post-2385987710994901897</id><published>2008-10-13T17:18:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-13T17:46:08.467-04:00</updated><title type='text'>my posts are way too long...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;it took me a two days to realize that my post are way way too long. i quote from house:&lt;blockquote&gt;Fourteen pages.

type='text'>computer and shoes...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;well, life is funny. i told my mom a while back that i would get a new computer after my mc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;at test, so she said it's ok.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; 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 tim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;e i purchase the computer i wouldn't have the 700 to spend cause i don't have a job...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;concentrate&lt;/span&gt;... 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 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;check from my new job... i might be another 100 down... so, i would have around 400 bucks from my own saving... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;that's make a grand total of 1400 :P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;way to make more money&lt;/span&gt;... well, some of you know how :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so anyway this is my list of parts i'm g&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;oing to get. so, how is gonna get jealous :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br

computer... only self build computer can be this cheap... well, anyway still n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;eed 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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;maybe not... but i've still an ace up my sleeve. my cousin has brought my brother a 400 bucks graphic card last yea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;r 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;... i was thinking i'm probably the only one with that pair of shoes. design and all... why? ther&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;e is two reasons&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;and i've freaking hell traveled&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt; 20000 miles&lt;/span&gt; before wearing them!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;and also there is like a million design out there, with different color and everything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Several days ago, i discover that i'm the only one with my shoes... i mean come on, it was the exact pai&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;r 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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ain't i weird?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;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...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

question of the day is: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WTF is wrong with this picture?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ffe_i4-KiY/SPFXyDC08JI/AAAAAAAAAAM/kJTo8ySQLJo/s1600-h/DSCF0806+edit.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;"

style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;now, if you can't find out what's wrong with this picture... i'm sadden by &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;how little you know me&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;so scroll down for an answer :P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;so, now the answer... where the fuck was my computer... well, it &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;crashed&lt;/span&gt;. and
