11 de janeiro Been a while eh? Entering 2009 wasn't as jolly as it should be. Bad times, indeed. Anyway, I've been updating my other blog more than here, so if you are somehow still interested, head over to: http://ashytized.blogspot.com I was just looking through most of the old blog posts here. Quite some memories. The "Demon Queen" post were quite unbelievable, now that I think about it, I wonder if I should dig through the Blogjutsu blog too. I'm back on the road alone again. Looks like my princess (believe it or not, she really has royalty blood) deserves someone better, though it always hurts to be at the other end of the break up gun. I should not contemplate on it much.. it's just a relationship right? but, I've put so much into it.. more than I ever have in the past. Yet it was not enough. Twice in a row. Funny, 2 is supposed to be my lucky number. I think I need to choose a different one this time ;) Gosh, if my first ex knew, she would be laughing her mouth out for sure. "You're a loser, ash! no girl cares for chivalry anymore" Trying to get into that "mode" again. The "screw it, I don't need a girl" that had sustained me for a few years before. Family, friendship and basketball had sustained me in the past. I should try refocus on those three again :) So.. whoever quotes me the "lots of fishes in the pond" crap to me, I'll throw them into a real one. I'm serious. 27 de setembro Yo!Nearing the end of my final semester of 3 year. 1 more year to go!
Some updates:
Joined the Angkasa SiswaSat 2008 competition
Finals coming up
Starting to become more busier at CrazyEngineers
Also, don't forget to check out my more frequently updated blog here:
23 de abril one week leftCrap, class begins again next monday. So much for a vacation.. *sigh*
Just got a new joystick. Yes.. call me old fashioned, but they are pretty vital in flight and space combat games. Check out the entry here:
My tune card will only get ready by early next month. My online account is already active, as well as my internet banking. All I need now is the card! I wonder what my first internet purchase would be.. *dreams of an original NBA jersey*
16 de abril update!Gosh
I just typed a moderately long post, then IE crashed :( So not in the mooooooooood.Should have used FF, or even better the Live Writer. Anywayz, I changed the theme a little. Made it a little beige-y. Its a nice relief from the previous theme. Trouble with Live Spaces is its
laggyness. With my blogspot blog, its relatively quick to log on and post. This is pretty important if I only get to have access to the net on old computers on campus.
So what have I done since end of Jan till now?
 Midterm exams: Can't remember much, but I felt it was a little sucky 1st Anniversary with Princess: Remembered every detail, hehe. It was a great dinner, everything went well. Projects and reports: Not as bad as last sem, but still quite research intensive.  Final exams: Big ouch. Had a couple of really good papers, but also had baaaaad ones. Its the bad ones that worry me. Results come out in a couple of weeks :(
 Powerpoint presentation: Helped mom design one for a farewell gathering at Istana hotel, for the wife of the ex-FM (he's moving to the Ministry of Home Affairs and Internal Security) PC fair: got some components. Quite content that I finally got to upgrade both the family computer and the laptop.
 Visa card:I applied for the Tune Card (from Tune Money) yesterday. Its a prepaid Visa card that can be used anywhere that has the Visa logo. Plan to use it for online purchases more than anything else really. Anywayz, this is quite a good concept.. perhaps better than debit cards too. I'll post more
about it when I finally get the card and use it to buy something online. Im sure lots of people are eager to know its usage.

 Plans?I dont have any definite plans this holiday. Its only for 3 weeks anyway, since I'm taking the short sem as usual. I've never had a long holiday ever since I started uni! Can't wait for graduatation. I better buck up with my studies till I finish.. 21 de janeiro January Update!again, can't think of a more creative title =P
It's been a busy month; the usual assignments and reports. Did a lot of researching regarding Islamic science & tech as well some engineering topics. I believe MEMs and nanotechnology is going to play a significant role in Telecommunications, so I need to catch up with that. Recently, OpenHardware seems to be a very attractive initiative to try out, seeing the sucess of OSS. I had once research on cryptology methods, I wonder if I'll continue that too.. Maybe I'll post more about those stuff in Ashytized.
The more I searched the job classifieds, there more I came across positions for Research & Development Hardware Engineers. I'm guessing thats the thing I'll be aiming for now. Panasonic has some decent positions, even in Shah Alam. It would be a darn good opportunity to get a job here.. at least I'd save a lot on housing and transportation costs *grin* Im guessing there will be more R&D positions available by the time I graduate, inshallah. Some positions state some knowledge in PSpice is an added benefit, so thats cool. I had feared that learning that during my degree was a waste of time and energy. Which reminds me.. I still owe one of my professors a PSpice project report on Frequency-Time converters.. *gulp* C/C++ is mentioned consistently too.. I need to brush up on that soon.
Went to Enoch's 21st bday party last night. I had appreciated the invite, it was a much needed break from my hectic schedule. There were lots of people there, but, only 1 other person from our high school alumni came. The rest was from Enoch's uni and church. It was a bit akward seeing how I was the only malay dude there. Plus, they had a church prayer done for him during the cake cutting session. Of course, I still made a prayer, but in my head ;) Me and my other school buddy did some catching up to do. Missed the good old days! Enoch hasnt changed much.. except maybe the grunge-like hair, lol. I wonder when sukhdip will come back to do a big reunion thingy =P Damn.. I wonder how the Gangs of 2k3 website is going. I really need to revive that soon!
I finally had tkd classes. My legs hurt too much =( It's been about 6 years since I last had that kind of intensive training, so it put a toll on my unfit body. They are training for competitions, I believe. So there isn't much new theory to introduce, much to by disbelief. I would have started my.. *ahem* green *ahem* belt, but everyone else was black belt. Oh well, I guess i'll just focus on kicking techniques. Perhaps its a blessing in disguise? I hope I don't get my ass kicked in competitions!
Speaking of which, there'll be a 3v3 bball competition soon at my uni. I'm still in a process of creating a team.. but not many ppl I know are available =( I hope I can get ppl in time.
Thats it for now. I wanted to post a more interesting entry, but I'm so darn tired right now. Till next time!

=DWelcome to this blog of nonsense.. nonsequentually, that is *grin* after going through some identity crisis, this blog settled down to being just a personal blog. No bball (well.. maybe a LITTLE) and tech stuff. Just plain oooold Ash ;)
