The Trifactor Days

This is a run down of the past 3 days!! Respectively the 4th, 5th and 6th of December.

On Day 8

Today I woke up relatively early. Again. 9 AM is such a normal time to me now. My days feel longer and I get that feeling of satisfaction of saying I've done most of what I want to do today. Thumbs up to myself!!

I also woke up and intended to go for breakfast, but alas was met with my brother's boss at my door. Now, that was a wake up. But luckily, he was a friendly man, who from slight inspection, lived relatively close "by the book" and in a metaphorical sense. Not...literally a book which he carries with him...

I also figured out how to bypass the connection shaping protocol, using a uTorrent client. I beat TM Sux!!

And the highlight...went to watch the Super Fight, LIVE!! Our tale of take, brought to you b- wait this isn't the UFC?!

No, it was BJJ Borneo's Blue Belt fight...which was pretty much just Allen "Bajau" Chong vs Darren "Lamb" Low. The fight went for 2 rounds, gi and no gi, both of which were pretty intense. However, the size difference in both combatants was obvious. Pictures to come in the form of a album on Facebook!! We went for supper, drinks and relaxation after.

Also, we watched "The Hangover" till about 5 AM. It inspires the need for me to visit Las Vegas at least once in my life!! It also created for some good quotes and one liners. Join the Wolf Pack!!

Day "9"

Today, it was a relatively relaxing day. And by relaxing I meant I stayed at home for a majority of it. Just chilling.

Had a farewell lunch for Chico at Fish & Co at Warisan, before heading off to drop Chico at the AirAsia terminal.

From there, I drove off to my old school, Kinabalu International School, for the school bazaar!! Something which I clearly remember from the old days. I suppose it was pretty memorable and fun for the students there too. I purchased 2 beers for the whole time I was there :-P And took a few photos with my Uncle's Camera. I wonder where all that money went...

Day >Ten<

Today, I woke up at 7:37 AM. I took a shower and went to perform my daily internet tasks but then felt tired and went to bed to rest. I awoke at 1:23 PM!! Epic nap is epic.

Relatively lazy day...had Japanese food for lunch and pretty much relaxed.

Visited my apartment to check out the light fixtures and checked out Suria KK, which is pretty much empty at the moment. I give it 6 months before it becomes the new pilak stink hole that became our beloved Center Point.

Went for dinner with family, then went out to play some pool + snooker with my cousin and brother. Lost all my games by sheer luck :( Samson, you got lucky chump!! Especially our 9 Ball game >:(

Had an after-the-game Burger King visit and met up with some old School mates. Went to play DotA untill 2 AM at the local Cyber Cafe and went to minum kopi untill 3ish AM.

Iron Man 2 Official Poster!!

Woohoo!!

The poster for Iron Man 2 is out. Ohh Yeahh...

WAR-MACHINE BITCHES!!

Reminds me of the good ol Marvel vs Capcom 2 times.

Eat Ion Cannon sucka'

And on the 7th day...

...I woke up. At 8 AM.

And it's Day 7 on the Summer holiday saga!! It's like the holiday JUST started yet it feels like forever. best. feeling. ever.

Anyway, what's been up...on Day S7ven


Today I woke up on time for breakfast. In fact, I woke up, had a shave and shower, THEN went for breakfast. I dunno, it's like, I'm sleeping later and later but waking up earlier and earlier.

downloaded the Jay-Z album, "The Blueprint 3" (Worse title for an album - ever) as a test to see how long it takes for the TM Net connection shaping tool to kick-in. I found that the most efficient procedure is that it downloads at high speeds for roughly 5-10 minutes, before getting shaped down to 3.2kb per second. What I do is I pause the download, for 2-5 minutes, and resume the download again, and it seems to return to normal speeds before getting shaped again. This seems to the fastest way to download stuff in Malaysia. Faster than waiting for a file 200mb to download at 3.2 kbps,

It then comes to the conclusion that Peer-2-Peer programs in a whole are pretty much useless...unless you know how to bypass the ISP shaping tool or you have a lot of time (Which I, have the luxury of)...cause TM Sux will just shape your connection regardless.

Oh and today I picked up/sent Daniel and Rodney from/to the airport cause their flight got delayed. And Daniel, I quote...
"Me : Dude, I swear man, Jet-star SUCKS BAL- correction BIG BALLS!! They are the shit-stain of budget airlines.
Daniel : Hahah they can't be THAT bad dude!!"
I stand by my statement.

Went to watch the first ever BJJ Borneo inter-club competition. It was awesome!! Hope for more action-packed, flap-jacked smacktak blastastic syoktrancic action tomorrow.

Yup, that was my day 7.

See ya'll tomorrow.

The 6th Day.

Day 6. I'm doing better than I though!! Except I'm only updating about the day before the day after. yeah...

Anyway...Day ^(6)

Today wasn't particularly a breezy day. I woke up relatively early to get my Dell computer repaired (Which I'm using now, w00t).

Received a call from TM Net telling me that the 4.0 MB connection is not available to my house, when they told me that it was. Let's just say I got kinda pissed and told them their idiots for wasting my time and that they will never be as good as the internet overseas and their an abomination to the whole ISP scene. Ok, I lied up till the internet overseas part. I cannot wait for FTTH in Malaysia. Screw'yall copper based connection bastards.

Did some shopping for printer ink, paper and a stapler. Someone owe's me $412 RM.

Oh and I shared a whole bag of Goreng Pisang with Daniel and Bobby. Ahh, I should have took a photo. The bag was about the size of a basketball.

Hi5!!

...sucks.

But on a more serious note, here is the update for day 5!! or December 1st, which as of posting, was YESTERDAY...got home late.

Today I went to the beach for breakfast. Alone. :( Cause everyone has school. And I felt like doing a few beach photos!! Will upload them when I get my damn computer fixed.

And I also upgraded my internet connection to a 4.0 Mbps connection. Cause that's seriously the fastest available on the island I call home. Arrggh I miss Australian internet!!

Oh and I had the first Ox-tail Asam Padas from Hyatt since coming back. Still good-as-hell. Hopefully no ring-of-fire.

Randall.

Day Fore!

I've made it to Day Four!! Surprised even myself.

Anyway,

Day Fore (4)


Today I found out that Mininova had just killed itself by removing all of it's user posted torrent 'content' aka movies, games, music and general internet freedom!! Mininova is now a 'legitimate' (*cough* shit *cough*) site that host's "Content Distribution" torrents. Yay, now we can download shit like..."Deathalizer - It Dwells Within EP" cool. Not.

Day 2 + 3

Day 2 (Yes-terday)


Today I watched NINJA ASSASSIN!! I give it a 6.5/10. It's pretty damn corny, and the crappy censoring of the Malaysian Film Board killed a majority of the "Syok"-ness associated with mundane action movies. The only entertainment I had was laughing at the black American lady in Berlin, Germany, researching about a group of hidden Ninja Assassins in...Japan.

Day 3


Today I drove for the first time in Kota Kinabalu since coming back. Twas an interesting drive. I think I'm to used to the mannerism's of the Aussie roads...I gotta earn some ghetto cred with these fools on the road. I'mma get tribal on these fools!!...Oh and the Toureg handles, in the word of Russell Peters "FANDTAZTIC!! IT'S MINDBLASTING".


Randall.

Event-ually?

I have been wondering in more recent time as to what to write on my blog and have come to the conclusion that it'd be good for me to list 1 thing which has happened on that day. Starting. Today.

So!! Today...Day 1!!

I went to Karamunsing to buy some blank CD's and checked out the pricing on a new desktop. I was shocked to find out that nobody in KK carries product part list prices!! Whats up with this pre-made bullshit? Seriously.

Oh and if I take my camera out, I'll be sure to snap a few photos and post em up. Image support for the win.

See you tomorrow!!

It's not my fault I'm critical.

So I was reading the news the other day, and I came across an article pertaining to Schoolyard Bullying - or as Channel 10 news would pitch it, "A modern day battlefield for school kids".

Apparently, in Australia, there are laws that protect Teenagers from being bullied by creating large monetary pay-outs when schools fail to stop a child from being bullied.

The particular case I was reading on was about a teen named Ben Cox.

The story goes that Ben Cox was six years old when, for two years, he went through a phase of intense bullying and terror at the hands of a fellow student two years older than him.

12 years on, Ben is now seen as potentially never being able to enjoy the fruits of life, such as "...the satisfaction of employment..." He is said to be unable "to form any relationships, romantic or platonic." and as the Judge says "He has no friends and is unlikely to make any."

The truth is harsh.

Now, how much was this kid "rewarded" as part of his payout?
$400,000 Australian Dollars + A weekly pay-out for the rest of his life.

Now, why do I care so much about this kid who got bullied?

I can see why he got bullied, you know, he's just a funny looking fellow.

But that isn't why I laughed at this article (Its not his fault he looks like that, don't laugh!!)
Its because of the tag line below the image.

It says "Hurting : Ben Cox leaves the Supreme Court"
I can hardly see how this guy is hurting at ALL after having won such a substantial amount of money. And, being the kind of person who tries to back up the majority of his shit, I proved he was smirking with the use of photoshop!!

The general consensus is that when people smile, especially fat people (Like me), you will see a ridging upon the cheeks of the person. This ridge is hardly noticeable to humans, but when you take photos, you will leave slight shadow marks. This poor attempt at uncovering the fact that Ben Cox is in fact not really hurting is thus proven!! This guy smiles!! He's HUMAN!!


Some of you guys are currently questioning if I've gone mad that this isn't a very funny topic to talk about. I know. But I also couldn't help but see this guys face and think of one thing. One thing that serves as a constant reminder to laugh everyday of my life.

I swear, I knew I saw Ben Cox before.

Randomosity is a word?

Anyway, I wanted to talk today about a few things...

Like...
Whats been up?
Not much.

How's life?
Same same.

Why no update?
Playing my with my PS3 to much since I've moved it to my Computer screen for the HD port...

Cool, is it fun?
Yup.

Is it lame writing this out?
Yup.

Realllllyyyy?
As lame as a crippled man with one leg.

Phew~ Good we got that outta the way.

So anyway,

Who here feels that the new "Where the Wild Things Are" movie is gonna be rockin?

I think the movie looks so cool, I just can't wait for it to be released!!

The funny thing was, I never actually read the whole book as a kid (Yeah, I know its a short book, but I have my reasons...) but the main reason was that they looked creepy as hell!!
I mean, come on - The yellows eyes man!! They have some serious cataract issues...

Anyway,

If you have never read the book, do so.

But the book is in the kids section!!
How can I read the book if its in the kid's section if I don't wanna pass of as mentally retarded or a pedophile?!

If your like me, over 18 and way pass his expiration date at child hood, there is hope!! and it doth come in the form of...

YOUTUBE!!

Click the link for the animated audio version of the book!!

Where the Wild Things Are

God Bless technology!!

Anyway, why the sudden love for the Where the Wild Things are?

A) The trailer song for the movie is AWESOME!!

Arcade Fire is THE BEST!!

I knew about them from School actually, because of this website...

Its the Neeooonnn BBBIIIBBLLllleeee

Took me awhile to find out who on earth sang the song cause I forgot the link to the site. I've tried every word that you could possibly think that goes in front of Bible, except Neon...

But anyway, the song they played for the Trailer was a remastered version of one of their most well known songs, Wake Up.

Wake Up - Arcade Fire

Such an awesome song...I love it!! I wish they could tour Australia again...

B) Because I, once again pixel art'd something on MS paint and later thought how lame it was...but still enjoyed it deep down...

Click the image for the full size.

Anyway, as the great Bug's Bunny once said...

Thats all folks!!

Oh but wait, there is more!! (No, not really...)

Here are a few links to get hyped up for Where the Wild Things are :)
Where the Wild Things Are (Film)

PS : Did anyone notice how much more flawed the Wild Things are in comparison to the book from that trailer?! When did Wild Things cry?! I liked it when they were old school...you know...swaying their heads side to side and roaring at inanimate objects. (Hehe see Pathetic Fallacy)
