2028

Time for a completely useless post not regarding myself...
Alright ladies and gentlemen, with today's amount of outbreaks and epidemics such
as bird flue, SARS, H1N1 and even in the past they had the plague. With epidemics
hitting the human race generation by generation, the likely effects of a zombie outbreak
seems probable. Go ahead and laugh, but would you be prepared when it happens when
you least expect it? Do you think you would survive? Here are some tips for the survival
of 2010!

First of all, when an outbreak occurs, of course you would need to depend on the help of
others to survive as well. It is a fact that you cant do it alone, and teamwork is essential
for survival. However, the rule of "dont trust anybody" applies in a situation as dire as this
as it is every man for himself. So here is a list of people you might require to ensure survival.

1) The gullible friend
In order to survive a zombie epidemic, you need a gullible friend. Why so? Well, its an extra
body and he is gullible! Gullible friends have many functions, the first one is that they are
a great form of diversion. You can always coax them into diverting the attention of zombies
away from you while you can make a clean escape(his safety is not important). You can
also coax him into doing things you wouldnt dare do yourself, such as looking for food in
a creepy building and being bait. Well, in the case of being chased by a massive number
of zombies, all you have to do is be able to outrun him! not the zombies. So you can coax
him into running slower, thats if you can find such a good gullible friend.

2) The hot chick
Yeah baby! In every zombie apocalyptic world you need a hot chick by your side. In a
world overun by zombies, hot chicks somehow come in handy because the become xena
warriors with chainsaws of all a sudden for some unknown reason. So yeah she's a plus to
have cos at one point of your journey to survival she will save your life somehow. Plus,
she is better at coaxing the gullible friend anyways ;). Oh yeah, she is the only chance of
you repopulating the world.

3) The smart guy
This guy is a must, he is the one who handles all the technical stuff such as devicing strategies
, flying helicopters, busting security systems and hardwiring cars. The smart guy doesnt
survive well so learn from him what you need. He is a plus factor in survival as well, cos
even the gullible friend could outrun him in a zombie chase cos of his lesser physical state.

4) The policeman
During a mad dash out of the city, you would probably run into one of these guys. They are
dependable cos they are brave and they are armed. However this is in Malaysia, so you
might have to bribe these guys first =.= of course, he doesnt realise that money doesnt have
value anymore but just give it to him. Well, urmm you can just wait for him to get killed
so you can have his gun, car and maybe his hat

5) The dog
Dogs are very useful as the senses are way stronger than ours. They bark when those
smelly zombies are nearby and give warnings before and imminent attack. However,
you would require a smart dog that follows you around and not chase after zombies and
in turn join their already massive numbers. Plus factor in survival, if food runs out, the
dog is there. oops

In a world invaded by zombies you require some items for survival. These items can
be useful in the sense of offensive attacks, defense and for consumption. Here is a
short list of items that you might want to carry around with you.

1) A melee weapon
You would require something long, thick and pointy. Not talking about the one you guys
already have tho. Something like a long metal pole, which can be used for pushing and
hitting. Knifes are useless and you will get bitten before you can even deal any damage.

2) A gun(from the dead policeman)
Use this only when required. This is the best form of persuasion for the gullible friend.
Save one bullet because its better to die by a bullet than being torn into dozens of
pieces.

3) A bottle of liquor
This is a useful item when you are feeling cowardly. You can drink it before death is close
or you can use it to burn those undead bastards. Still, alcohol is quite valueble in an
apocalyptical world. So just down it anyways.

4) Cigarettes
Who cares about lung cancer when you are gonna die eventually? In a world filled with
death and misery why not start? Wouldnt kill anyone anyways. Plus it looks cool.

5) A stolen vehicle(hardwired by the smart guy)
Duhhhhh, you wanna walk?

6) A radio transmitter(somehow souped up by the smart guy)
To find more smart guys out there, more gullible friends and hopefully more hot chicks.

7) food, water, medikit, medicine, clothing, condoms, etc

Tips and tricks
Tips and tricks of surviving a zombie outbreak in Malaysia
1) You have bigger chance of survival if you flee to kampung areas
2) Do not stay and defend in a single area, that never works out
3) If the infection happened on a friday avoid mosques
4) If you worry about guilt, dont. Malaysians have 0 attractiveness, killing them would be easy.
5) Avoid times square and prangin mall, wouldnt wanna be killed by lala zombies @__@
6) Malaysia is a diverse country, zombies have camouflague at night
7) Ignore fat zombies, they will die of cardiac arrest anytime
8) Dont hide in jungles, if zombies dont get you, pontianaks will

Not so lonely Christmas

oIm now currently in Semenyih, I just got here by flight and taxi about 5 hours ago. My
flight was around 8am because the later flights were booked solid. Had to wake up around
5am because the airport is 45 mins from my place and I had to be at the check in counter
45mins before the boarding time. Lets just say I didnt entirely sleep early last night and I
had a hard time waking up and doing my last minute packing. I had a 5 hour nap earlier,
I really needed that.

My trip to Penang this time lasted about 9 days, and it was somehow bittersweet. I did
manage to hang out with most of my close friends but not all of them, due to some time
difficulties by both parties. Didnt really do much this time because not only did I have
limited access to the car, my friends were also busy with their own stuff such as assignments
and examinations. I didnt exactly manage to spend much time with my parents either so
this holiday was kinda sad. However, on the brightside, Jess and her sister
came down and I saw them on Christmas and boxing day, so yeah, not so sad. :)

In Penang, I managed to curb my addiction for L4D2 by finishing all the maps like twice with
my friends. Therefore I wouldnt be tempted to drive all the way to cheras to play during the
exam period. I avoided playing new online games as well to avoid being infront of the computer
screens all the time. Its about high time I eliminate all these distractions before my examination. Although I would require some inspiration to jump start on the books.

Well, being back here means Ill be going through the old routine again. Being away from the
gym for ten days means Im gonna go through hell during tomorrow's session. I cant wait
because I can feel my arms and body weakening from over-indulging back home. Anyways
its been awhile since I pigged out, so I kinda deserve it because Ive lost quite alot of weight
over the semester. Hopefully I can buff up by the end of the coming semester, anybody wanna
be my gym buddy?

Anyways, one last quick random update. Stoner is doing fine, but the stupid dog grew fast
over the course of one week. It has lost all its puppy fats along with significant cute values lol.
Lucky thing that my housemate was around to feed it during the holidays if not I would have
to depend on the security guard, which would not have been easy. Glad that things are going
good so far, gonna rest awhile, get some dinner and do some study later. Hopefully, I need
some form of motivation lol. :)

It feels great to be back home after being in Semenyih for such a long time. It
feels as though Ive been gone for a really long time. I was so suprised yesterday
when I got back to see that ALL my pets have grown significantly FATTER.
WTF, all my dogs are now like 1/4 times bigger and same with my cats. Super
fat animals, but I prefer them that way anyways :D.

As usual, on the first night of my return I usually dont have a curfew and would
be out for the whole night/morning. The curfew usually only comes in effect when
I go out too often and come home too late. My curfew btw is usually around 2-3am.
Yesterday I came home around 4 smth. Had a L4D2 session in netcity, luckily it
just came out :). It was so much fun cos everything is so new, but of course I had to
try it out in easy mode first lol. Gonna go advance sometime next week. After that
it was mamaking at Abu, been awhile since I had such a big supper.

Today was rather uneventful, I spent the whole day at home lazing. I basically spent
my time playing games and watching tv. Didnt spend much time contacting the outside
world lol. Cant really go around at my own will because my car isnt here with me. Earlier
I asked my dad to let me drive his car but he was a bit hesitant of course. Im not too
keen myself because Im scared of driving his huge ass car. Well, at some point of this
holiday Im going to have to drive it and hopefully not crash it lol.

Anybody wanna watch Zombieland with me? Ive already got someone to watch
Avatar with me. Kwen get yo ass back here man!! We've gotta have some blue reef
and netcity sessions with the gorilla when you get back LOL!! Got no new jokes
this time tho.. Feel like playing paintball all of the sudden =.=

Return


Yesterday, well not really yesterday since its already midnight, well 2 days ago
I was at pavillion with a uni friend and two friends from secondary school. Its really
nice to see that old and new friends can come together and socialise without any
problems and slight awkwardness haha. But of course there will be chemistry, I
dont pick friends out of thin air you know ;)

It was nice to talk again to my friends who I have not seen for over a year. Reminding
each other of the fun times we had and the hard times we went through together. Being
with them really reminds me of the great life in my boarding school and makes miss that
place all over again after getting over it a long time ago. I can help but get that nostalgic
feeling of being in my boarding school. The serenity, the trees surrounding the place,
the yellowish white walls, the cracked concrete path ways, the crickets singing at night,
the cold soothing night air, the familiar faces all year round, the cosy little room, the
relaxing weekends, the swimming pool, the badminton court, the sunset, everything about
the place I miss it dearly. Haih, time flies.

Im coming home, really soon. Only a few minutes ago had I realised that Ill be home
in 5 days time! Im really really looking forward to that, hanging out with my friends
and hopefully be able to play L4D2. I cant wait!! I miss my home so much, its been
a while since I really thought about home because of the great times Im having in
campus and the amount of assignments bombarded at me. Now that I suddenly
realise that Im 5 days away from home is like putting a muffin in an oven for 10 mins
and it popped out in 3 mins. Im not sure how would this analogy help you understand
but yeah... lol. However this time around, Ill be leaving quite a few things behind, Ill
be leaving my car behind, Ill be leaving little Stoner behind and most importantly Im
leaving my dear shooting star behind, my wish that came true :).. sigh

Goodnight people =)

The Green Path


Finally Im done with my QM assignment. I went through hell this weekend
completing it. It wasnt exactly hell when you have friends over your place to
do it together lol. It is during assignments when you get to know the true nature
of your coursemates. This is something I learnt over the weekend, as I got
to know my coursemates better through working together and the absence of
some others was proof enough for me about their intentions. I will not state
here what sort of intentions.

Anyways, on saturday I rushed my assignment from 1pm to 5am. It was the
first time I ever did something like this. I realise that at 5am, Im a completely
different person. Its not exactly a good thing really. Around 5am I realise that
I am actually less coherent. I tend to talk alot of crap around that time and
when people talk, all I hear is words, drifting by as my brain fail and fail again
to process and interpret what that person is trying to say to me. Its almost
like DDR in my head, except my brain isnt trying at all to hit the arrows lol.
This was proven when I woke up in the morning to find the vocabulary in my
essay being complete bullshit, but the facts were there, much to my relief.

This morning as I walked to the assignment submission counter, I realised
that this semester is ending. Time has flew by so fast, and it made me realise
that Im already in Uni, I made new friends, Ive ditched some old ones and
my life has changed significantly for the better(of course) over the course of
this semester. Its just that, I let everything pass me by at such a rate to the
point where I didnt even take the time to stop and look at where I currently
stand and who I am, right now, as a person, perhaps as someone else, as me.

This year is ending soon, in less than a month's time and it would mark my
second year in Nottingham. Ive been through so much in this uni, Ive met
so many people, I learnt so many things here, experienced so many things
and lived my life here, in Semenyih, my second home. I know I actually
complained a lot about this place, about the people, about everything. But
it took me time to realise that for once Im actually having fun being away
from home, and the people who may hurt me sometimes are my true friends.

I would like to talk on and on about what I did in Nottingham and what
I learnt but that would perhaps take another post. So I would like to
extend my gratitude here to whoever Ive met in Notts whether just
a hi bye friend or a very goodfriend. Each and everyone of you have made
my life here(and still are) and interesting one. I bid you all goodnight :)

Fatigue


Just when I thought that I can relax and run away from assignments, they
slowly crawl back in once again. Last week I handed in two assignments and
looked forward to a relaxing weekend, but no, there is another one due this
monday, quantitative methods. Wth, everheard of assignment for maths?
Maths has always been my all time favourite subject in secondary school but
in college and uni it has been like the worse form of nightmare I can ever imagine.

My module is called Applied Research Methods I: Quantitative methods. It
is a form of maths for psychologists to use I guess. I dont even see the point.
What makes this form of maths stand out from our conventional maths is that
it is in a more theoretical form which means we have to explain equations,
formulas and symbols in words. sigh......

Never have I ever been so worried about an assignment or something related
to work before during this semester. The assignment is due in less than 3 days
time and I have barely started. I guess this is gonna be a hell of a weekend for
me,but do I have a choice? I cant wait to return back to Penang, everyone is
back now! Well, almost everyone. I havent seen my islander friends so a really
long time, I miss you guys, seriously =(

Argh, there it goes again. My stomach has been acting up a lot lately im not sure
why. Maybe its because I ate some really messed up stuff lately. My diet has been
quite meaty lately as I eat very less vegetables and no fruits at all. This week my
stomach has been really freaky, Ive had many uncomfortable trips to the toilet during
these past few days. Earlier during this evening, within 2 hours I was in and out of
the toilet for 4 times already. haih..

Im coming back on the 18th =). Really looking forward to that. I miss home so much,
but I wont be able to enjoy it much tho, Ill be home only from the 18th till the 26th,
because I have papers during early January. So, this is suppose to be a study break
and not a relaxing holiday. Im not gonna stay back here like I did last year, most
regretabble decision ever made! I miss FUG! =p


Anybody wanna take care of stoner during my absence? This is my biggest dillema ever. =(
haih,=(
