Around KL .. Me and the Umbrella

Well .. salam and peace to all

It has been some normal days ... well, Iv Just graduated ...

lets go to the word "Graduation" : this is just a phrase we say to satisfy our own self, that we did something or we have just finished some part of our life... well true to some extent ..

but graduation is actually the beginning of life, and life to human beings means death ... to live you need to kill someone (at least bring him down) ...

what a pathetic life we have... many humans enjoy this, we all feel it during the pre-graduation era, but it gets even more intense after that ...

we could have lived better if not for our own dirty desires ... the desire to bring someone down ... a desire to achieve happiness by killing another human ...

well .. we don't have to take someone's life to kill him ... he can be dead-walking ... a zombie or another killer who is ready to kill another

the worst part .. those who do this are "Graduates" themselves ... but who cares ... "as long as i live, the others die" said one of them ...

some will stab you without even knowing you, so you're a victim in this society of maniacs, probably 70% of the people in this world we live at are ... well, mad ...

but wait, once i was waiting next to the bus stop when 2 ladies passed by, it was raining, and raining .... you know kuala lumpur these days (if ur living here), they saw a third lady's umbrella partially broken, they decided to help and fix it for her, both of them were from different races, (many races co-exist here) .. that was -for me- a Petronas commercial in real-life ... i always wanted to see those commercials in real-life ... it was a touching moment ... to see some people helping each other with no hope of a return ... they shared smiles, laughed and the hopeless lady got her umbrella fixed .. what a happy moment for her as she was carrying many bags ... wait!! the story didnt end there ... i was next to this show of respect, freedom of mindset , human-values ..etc .. and suddenly they offered me a part of what was covering them from the rain ... for the first time i was offered an umbrella ... and even more, i shared it with the lady .. she shared it!!! i couldn't believe ... a person who could offer me an umbrella ( well, half an umbrella) i was in joy! ... happy .. and thought it was one of the best of my days in this city ... the city of kuala lumpur ...

Hmmm ... i knew those people were normal people ... they never felt graduation probably ... they were normal workers .. who came here to work for a living ... obviously they would have been somewhere else if they had graduated ... and i would have never got the chance to be under that umbrella ... it has nothing to do with knowledge nor graduation ... it was just part of the "humanistic" thing we miss ... they had it ...

anyway ... the world may become a happier place with more real humans than "killers", but we will always hear: who cares!!!


just some notes taken on past days ...

Done with my undergraduate level!!!!

Alslam and peace ...

yup! .. after a long disappearance from the blogging stage, i think its time to come back ...

well, from the title, university level is done, now starting to get ready for my postgraduate studies as i cant get job with my current status as a foreign student in this country, its really hard to get something unless by unofficial means ( need some luck ).... anyway .. i like the postgraduate idea ...

Back to the 70's

Salam and peace to ye all

To many things to discuss ...

im back to 70's music again .. Boney M at my No.1 in the list, Bee Gees, James Brown ... and abit of jimi hendrix

running like upto 24 hours ... thats more of a 70's re-birth ...

but i came to conclude those people had better music than us .. even the recording , at least relatively

music in recent month's has become useless ... too much dependent on body language ... not even good music .. forget the lyrics ...

im also on my latest track ...a flute track for the first time ... so its melodic ... :)

had a haircut like after some 9 month .. feeling air on my head again ... it takes more than 5 minutes to comb .. so had to execute that afro-thingy ..

final year project is nearly done .... wooohooo .. due date the 15th of march 2008 ...

wish me luck on that last one ...



a very brief post of what has been happening lately ...

walslam

Ignoring to torture ...

Peace to all .... (if u still believe in peace)

anyway ... you know what (yahh you ... the reader) ...that there is some method which will make you feel real bad ... its when someone you respect behave as if he doesn't know you ... even trying to avoid having a look at you ... so basically you don't exist ... we usually do this with people we hate or get annoyed with ... but when it happens .. it really means one thing ... the damn f***er have no respect at all ... and this is from a very narrow viewpoint of mine ... it depends ... maybe im wrong .. but when it happens it has on exaplanation ... specially when it repeats more than 3 times in a session ....

ok ok ... it just happened here and this got my nerves on ... we use to call this category of behavior "marginalization politics" ... some will laugh as i translated this word-by-word from an Arabic statement ... "Siasat al-tahmeesh" .... now this is mental torture .... you don't have to do anything .. thats the main concept ... you just let the person in front of you in a non-exist state ...


and there you have ... the ingredients to torture human feelings ...



walslaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Its Virtual ...

Alslam - peace -

Finally, blogging from a virtual machine running Linux ....

finally the vmware is running and connected with the world ...


major work and analysis going on here .... clusters is the category for our Final Year project .. experimenting with clusters and parallel computing ... will post more details later on ... the project will focus on light clusters that will ease the job, we will test some programs on it later ...

anyway .. life has been going on well with the lappy top.... can stay up all night with a wirless connection ... this is the life i was missing ..


anyway .. gtgo back to work ...


walslam ...

Its a BenQ!

peace ...salam ...


Finaly

Its a BenQ, best offere and specs as well ... couldnt resists it ...

My New Machine

Our 2 days at the PC fair ended up in a chase .... chasing the black BenQ ... wherever you go, its always that white one ... i don't know how many white notebooks are out there untouched ... but i wasn't easy surrendering to the white one ... its just too white i guess ...

after some wild search ... got my self on a Centrino duo 2.0Ghz machine, coz i needed speed, not battery life or what-so-ever ... installed the 2GB RAM directly ... it came with the neat GMA950 and normal high-end specs such as dvd-writer, SPDIF, .... and hey! .. a built-in webcam ... a 120GB HDD

it came empty though, you can only look at the BenQ JoyBook purple logo ... so i opted for the better windows XP ... not crazy to take windows vista ... it will suck up all the resources im trying to buy here ... anyway ... some development will be done using linux, so LINUX RULES!!!

another thing was that it's Driver CD was Vista-Based, so i had to go back and download all of the winXP drivers ... but thanks to the BenQ's Rich-website (free promo to benq)... i could easily get the drivers for XP ...




and with this .... it like a marriage ...

now have to go and learn how to take care of it ... ;)

December ... Wuzaaaaaaaa

Heyyyyy .. yo ....... peace and salam to ye all ...


Its december ... has been a long time since i wrote something here ... was quite busy ... too busy actually ...

but finally we have agreed on a topic for the final year project, it should be something like a Portable Linux Cluster .... its an instant cluster that should be easily prepared, we will analyse performance and stuff ...

and finally ... i should be announcing my marriage ... yah ... quite something like that .... am getting a laptop ... finally ... yahoo!!!

will it be a BenQ joybook? a Compaq presario? or an Acer?? ...
will it be centrino or an AMD?

These are the questions that will be answered tomorrow at the PC fair KLCC 2007


Il be back later, probably writing next article about my new machine (or wife) ...



walslam .....
