Are you secure with what you are?

Whoa. What a night with Vinod, the rubber guy.

The man has a vision to help Malaysia regain its glory, starting with the youth. He’s the guy who started Rakan Muda, but when he stepped down, it turned Political, some dude who used it as a platform to get into BN. He doesn’t want to be a political party, but if either BN or the opposition makes good plans, he will support it, and more importantly, critisize bad decisions by the MPs!

Here’s Anwar’s Charge

I had a talk with my dad and he has interacted with Malays in his twenties and thirties. It is VERY VERY common for anal intercourse among single and lonely guys back then. Everyone was pretty poor, few were rich.

“Takde lubang, cam mane?”

Now we have four figure monthly allowance WHILE STUDYING in expensive unis costing 5-figures annually.. Of course “Ada Duit Dapat Amoi” right?

On another topic, i would like to post out this question. Are you secure with what you are?

Most people like to be reaffirmed that they’re good. Rub their shoulders and they’ll do anything for you (favour lah). As children, yes I can understand the need to tell you what’s right / wrong, what you could do better. But past your teenage years, do we still need positive reaffirmation?

Lets say your friend tells you something negative about your character, or the girl you like for example. Do you take it to heart? Why? Would you be disappointed or angered? Do you feel a need to confront, or would you ignore, or avoid this issue / comment?

I would like to plug Cynthia Tan’s [FB] choir -

Dithyrambic Singers

on their release of their new 12-track album

Which I witness its live recording earlier this year at Sentul.

The one I’m excited about is Locus Iste. You just have to listen to the first line, right off the bat, and you’ll be tickled! Most of the tracks dances across various sub-genre and culture. Even the random noises / sounds in a “skit-liked” piece really was a well organised distortion, as I like to refer it to as :)

One trivia fun fact / sidenote: I am sure she won’t like 90% of July’s phailed mix. haha.. :P

Thought for the day: “Listen first, then talk”.

- That’s CSMA / CD in Networking Fundamentals!

Can you REALLY tell the difference?

A friend recently told me, that for Rock music, 192kbit MP3 really sucks badly. And 320kbit “barely” cuts it.

I was extremely surprised. Most of my collection are ripped at 128 or 160kbit and I find them “awesome” on my Altec Lancing 221.

One component that influences sound quality is of course, Speakers. There’s a huge difference comparing a RM 100 and RM 1000 speakers. But will you get the same exponential “jump” once you touch the 6 figure mark like some audiophiles do?

Another thing is sound card and cables. Modern computer motherboards have decent onboard sound. So if your speakers are under RM 300 just stick with onboard. If you’re going professional, or doing recording (podcast for example), then you should get a better card, perhaps a Condenser Mic (yup, i’m considering this one).

Just for kicks, I ripped Track 14 of Planet Shakers – Beautiful Savior (2008) from Lukas CD :P Thanks bro…. “Nothing is Impossible” (a swipe at Adidas tagline!!)

Nothing is Impossible (Apple Lossless .m4a 43.2 MB)

CASFUMAL 2009 at Pan Pacific KLIA

I just came back from the CASFUMAL leaders summit held in KLIA. It spanned across two days, bringing together leaders from various colleges and universities to “network” with the industry leaders.

One of the sessions, Mr. Richard Thompson of PetrominWork, a Scot who liked British football, gave this presentation about Football Management.

Thats Michelle

That's Michelle

Across the next few days, I will share what I have learnt during this conference.

The food on the last meal was awesome. The night before, it was great too.. had the best seat in the house, right next to the VIP and stage :) Met really nice people and had a blast.

For now, its “Snap back to reality.”
