H1N1(A), typhoon, and tsunami. Recently, a lot of natural disaster has happened, and many people suffer. I even heard from friends they are receiving text messages on their cellphone regarding when this disaster will hit. Some kind of predictions? I have no idea but if this was a hoax, someone has to stop doing so, because it involves lots of process, as well as many things which has to be taken in consideration, but still, better be safe than sorry right?
Somehow the hazy around Kuching and further has really gone away after a really hearty heavy downpour yesterday. Sad it never lasted, even I got soaked under it. >_<
Mooncake festival came and go, nothing much to shout about, only that Friendship park was flooded with people while I was at somewhere else having fun partying instead.
Hari Raya also came and went. Had a last open house invitation to my dad’s friend’s house, who I just found out was a descendant from our “Father of Malaysia”, Tunku Abdul Rahman. Not bad, except I cannot see any resemblance. Owh well. Least they were very humble and easy-going.
What else….. Owh, and Swinburne Sports Carnival is back. (Trying not to mention anything Swinburne related but it ended up a failure instead. Haha.)
One more thing, welcome back from the mid-semester break Degree and Diploma undergrads. For those who didn’t had the holiday, yours will come.
Cheers.

This might be old but its kind of interesting to see what started out as a joke by Googlers (Google employers) and a place to put ideas has become Google’s Master Plan for World Domination, as many people have coined it.
Somehow, its quite interesting reading it. I have been browsing through the board, and finding little stuff which is quiite interesting as well as true. Heck, they even have “Invest in Malaysia” and “Buy Malaysia”. I think Google has us in their eyes. Probably wanting to take over our MSC as its one potential technology to them?
View the Google Master Plan
I know its old but still interesting. Apparently some part of it has been erased off.
Space elevator… Now that sounds interesting.

Well, seems that the campus ground has been flooded relatively quite badly. Either its me or seems that the foundation classes has started, hence the flood. Or am I mistaken?
Traffic jams have gotten heavier. Luckily there are still many parking lots available early in the morning, as early as 8.30am at the multi-lot car park. Somehow coming late has its advantages also. Save me from contributing more CO2 into the air as I’m not stuck in a jam. Aside from having to wait for slowpokes who are driving up the multi-lot carpark rams at a slow pace (sorry if you are one of them. Been driving up and down those rams for years already, so far, nothing eventful, cept for a girl’s car which got stuck between the divider down the ram, nothing for me).
Speed bumps seems to be lower already, or was it cause there is less fuel in my car’s tank? Lol. Or all the ‘klunks’ and ‘kinks’ has scrapped some asphalt off it. Guess the management isn’t doing anything about it. Anyone want to start a petition? Grab siggys from all the drivers and smack it into their faces >D. *just giving suggestion. Anything which happens from this suggestion has nothing to do with me, unless you want to grab a siggy from me, I’m fine with that*
What else….. Owh, hope everyone had an enjoyable long weekend (3 days! due to Merdeka celebration and our country’s celebration of its independence). Btw, do watch this video Ne…? on youtube. Very meaningful. Still shows us how Malaysians are still friendly and willing to help people (okay, honestly, I’m more of a pro-Sarawak person but I still love my country). Enjoy it video and have a good laugh also. I wonder if Mr. Rodney will watch it… *bugs Mr. Rodney who’s just beside*
Okay! Time to go for lunch before my next class marathon! Tara~

Anyone hate the newly made speed bumps? Apparently so. Seems lots of the new Datsun (Nissan) Fairlady 350Z are missing, as well as Evos and all those uberly lowered cars are missing from the Uni’s carpark.
I hate it. With standard suspension for my car, the undercarriage still hits the speed bump. And that is only me in my car, which barely have anything extra (aside from the fuel and my bag with books). And the management said that the speed bumps are road standard. What road standard? Heck. If it was of road standard, no one will leave scrap marks on the asphalt. Pfft. Probably because the contractors are driving huge fuel guzzeling 4×4, they never get any problems.
Now I really wonder if the “klunks” and metal grinding sound will be here to stay or the management will do something about it.

Sounds like PiKom is not gonna hold a PC-Fair in Kuching and generally in Sarawak! It’s quite surprising, I know, but if I were PIKOM’s CEO I would not make a different decision as I have also been through the outdated, bureaucratic government procedures in Sarawak, which makes simply every foreign investor not interested in here!
I’m not gonna say more as I’ll get into politics and that’s what we are not allowed to do here!
Be safe and enjoy the last minutes of your holiday
