2012-02-01T13:27:00.001+08:00

ASUS A42JV/K42JV come with Intel HD graphic card and a Nvidia Geforce GT 335M, after you install Ubuntu 11.10, before you install the driver in 'Additional Driver', the Unity word fine in 3D, as well as the aero effect and new application switcher, but after you install the driver they provided, you will lost the aero effect and the new switcher, and your Unity will work in 2D, even you log in as 3D, so, here is the solution:

first of all, remove the driver.
the install Bumblebee, instruction can be found on this page.

then everything should be fine

Wonderwall by Oasis

2012-01-30T21:19:00.000+08:00

I keep on listening this song lately

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now

Back beat, the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how

Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now

to an irresponsible one

2012-01-18T22:34:00.003+08:00

i hate that i have to get angry with someone, someone that i know, or maybe 'knew' is better word. when i put my trust on him, he keep on letting me down, he disappointed me. i don't like this feeling, because he is not a kid.

i hate people that cannot keep their promise, and dare not face it like a man, and in fact, the people i angry about is a man. avoiding to face me isn't the solution of a real man, why don't you face it, face me and tell that you're sorry?

i hate people who borrowed something important from me and do not want to return, and keep on telling me when he will return, and he never show up on that day or he will say he forget to bring it. what? kindergarten student?

i hate people that always wanted my help for things that they can complete by themselves. why you have time to hang out with other people but can't allocate a little time for this important thing? what else you know about your responsibility?

i hate people avoiding things they dislike, but never really face it and trying to deal with it, you don't deserve our concerns, and you're not the centre of our life, you have to stand on your own.

what you did is shameful to yourself, i am not proud to have a friend like you, you disgusted me.

a brief journal of December

2011-12-27T17:57:00.003+08:00

1st week, went for LifeGame 2.0 in Kampar, is a 4 days camp/game, the concept of the game is really nice and impressive, and meet a lecture from FES in the camp, haha, what a coincidence.

2nd week, suppose i should start prepare for final exam, since the 1st week spent for LifeGame, but i didn't, instead, i just hanging around, wasting my time watching sitcom. and receive quite a lot of wishes on birthday, watched Mission Impossible 4, really nice action movie, should watch it if you haven't.

3rd week, final exam, and all the papers were prepared very last minute, the 1st and last papers were prepared only in 3 hours, and the 2nd paper is just around 5-6 hours, must be grateful if i happen to pass all of them! and watched Sherlock Holmes after the exam, very nice movie, the duo is still that gay, haha, i afraid there will be no 3rd one since the copyright owner not happy with the 'gay dynamic' between them, and too bad, Irene dead too early...

and Christmas, normal routine, have dinner at church on the eve, supper after the service, stay up until quite late, then wake up last minute on 2nd day. have a family gathering at night, and planned have it again next week.

p.s. the cake on Christmas night is so delicious

4th week, paint my house, spent almost 2 days for it, and my muscle are so pain, old already?

plan to buy cloth for new year this week, i have RM 100 jusco voucher!

much to share, yet, so less to say...
will blog soon, after final exam

我真的很不明白

2011-11-29T15:51:00.001+08:00

有时候，我真的很不明白你，我不明白为什么你会觉得大学学的事一定就是绝对的，然后一定要应用在你现在的生活，难道你不觉得现在就应该好好享受青春吗？反正你以后会有非常多的时间来善用你所谓的“职场求生术”。

有时候，我真的很不明白你，我不明白为什么你会觉得有必要把人与人之间的关系分类的那么清楚，难道每个人都只有一个身份吗？为什么你要搞到你的世界那么的冷漠？为什么你觉得你比别人经历了许多的人生波折？

有时候，我真的不明白我自己，我不明白为什么我会对你那么差，我没有对你有任何的偏见，我也没有对你有任何的企图，但是，我对你的态度就是非常的差，我也不懂我自己在想什么。真希望时间可以倒退，让我们回到过去。

有时候，我真的不明白我自己，我不明白为什我会在过了这么久才发觉我对你的坏，我真的很固执，我承认我有点好胜，我自负。我没有好好珍惜你以前的好。现在才来懊悔。我从前对你没有耐心，也不冷静，现在才发觉它们的重要。

有时候，我真的不明白我自己，我不明白为什么我现在才发觉我什么都没有，但是还在撑。我没有漂亮的成绩单；我没有活跃的运动细胞；我没有特别喜爱我的老师；我没有特别的创意；我没有出色的外表；我没有雄厚的财产；我不勤劳；我不幽默；我不会讨人欢心；我不谦卑；我不圆滑。

真的，我什么都没有，我什么都不是。。。

2011-11-28T03:16:00.001+08:00

i owe you an apology.
did you realise that some misunderstanding and conflict do exist in us?

i think every problem can be solved if we have a proper communication, i know i'm the one that responsible to everything, i didn't actually trying to mend the gap in us, i was selfish, i admit that it was my ego.

i wish we can have a proper talk someday, to correct that.

Shall we talk? 陳奕迅

2011-11-24T23:57:00.001+08:00

其实，我什么都没有。。。
别人有过的青春，却不曾发生在我身上，如果你问我，我的“那些年”到底有些什么？我真的不懂我有些什么，没有篮球，没有漂亮的成绩，没有一起“打手枪”的死党，也没有“沈佳宜”。
现在，我没有过去的回忆。我也没有现时的激荡，每每要和别人争论我的观点，却没有人可以明白；往往需要刻意出现，来提醒别人我的存在。
到底，我拥有些什么？

知道你读书的压力很大，在陌生的环境，在名校的气氛，压力自然会很多，而且又有很多事情要兼顾，但是，当压力大时，记得记得要释放出来，不要憋在心里！

加油加油，为你祷告！

求知還是求職（转载）

2011-11-10T20:25:00.001+08:00

問當今大學生為什麼求學，十之八九會回答：現今社會沒有大學文憑找不到好工作。許多父母也灌輸小孩從小就要好好唸書，這樣未來才能找份好工作。這時「好工作」的定義就廣了，但狹義來說應該就是不用汗流浹背出賣勞力又能有豐厚薪水的工作。

還沒畢業的大學生，在畢業前就開始擔心以後的出路。尤其在最後一學年，還沒有方向的孩子更是被追問到不得不回答一個一般人期望的答案。若你說自己還沒想好未來要走甚麼路，旁人就會露出十分擔心的表情，要你好好為未來鋪路，不然就到學校的就業輔導處諮詢一下。

「未來出路」總是最讓人頭疼的問題，有些幸運的人較早發現自己的興趣，清楚知道自己以後的方向；但有些人花了一輩子也不知道自己想做些甚麼，而盡照著一般人的腳步前進；我想大多數的人都不太幸運（無論是受命運還是社會構成的牽絆），並未設想好自己未來的路，他們有的僅是「希望找份好工作」的念頭。

因此，為了找份好工作，學生們在求學期間也被要求要為未來鋪路。為了好的推薦信而努力和教授打好關係、為了要讓未來僱主看見你的管理才能而在大學期間參加社團、為了讓自己有多一些競爭力而選擇副修、雙主修、學位學程……有了這些，履歷表就漂漂亮亮了。

以就業為目標沒錯，因為每個人都需要工作。但當「求學」的動機已演變為「求職」的另一面向，而真正讓學生吸收各方面知識的大學，幾乎都是以學生就業為導向了，「為了求好工作而念大學」的觀念則日漸根深，求知的本質是否也已經變相了？

新加坡政府每年提供數以萬計的獎學金給優秀的外國學生，唯一條件就是大學畢業後在政府機構工作三至五年。這樣的政策當然也吸引了數不盡的馬來西亞人才，我就認識許多中文系畢業後當華文老師的。前幾天聽一位學妹說，她高中畢業後也拿了政府獎學金念大學，目前畢業在即十分想要繼續念碩士，卻因和政府簽了約必須工作五年，她坦言入社會五年之後應該不會再考慮求學了。

這樣的例子層出不窮，我看到的是以就業為導向的大學機制竟演變成求知識的阻撓。這也難怪念文學總被認為是不切實際的了，因為沒有僱主會要求員工有文學修養呀！

it's been awhile that i didnt record things around me, basically the new semester just give us many works to do, as it's a short semester, and i talking 4 subjects, and it's already half of the semester, every assignment is going to due soon. (and lab report)
but generally, it's quite less pressure compared to long semester....

just come back from Melaka, been there for a retreat, the food is nice, i miss the cendol there, and the meal prepared by the resort, it's awesome! it's a nice place to visit, looking forward to visit there again!

but of cause, it's a retreat, and induced me to think of something, maybe will share it out later after i organised my thought.

昨天又再次在我的梦里看到你，其实理性的分析，这也蛮奇怪的吧，为什么会梦到你呢？
已经是这两个星期的第四次了，我们的关系并没有那么的深，大家都不是很了解对方，虽然说知道对方的存在很久了，我也不知道为什么我对你会有这么强烈的感觉，当然，这种感觉你是不会有的，因为理性的人都不可能会爱上不熟悉的人，所以说，感情都是不理智的。
但是，这次就让我不理智吧，不要唤醒我的理性，让我继续喜欢你吧！

孩子氣 - 陳妍希

2011-10-27T22:48:00.000+08:00

《那些年，我们一起追的女孩》插曲。
陈研希的歌声很有感觉！

看到當年教室窗口前的你和我
像月亮在黑夜起不了光合作用
若不是Cupid錯射蘋果在你胸口
來時的路會多麼不同

每次交換考卷和你曖昧的交流
多少排列組合只想坐在你身後
若不是當時我們都有一點懵懂
現在的我會多麼不同

溫柔的孩子氣　伴隨那些年光陰
像太陽般和煦　深深溫暖我的心
你笨拙的擦去　我臉上所有淚滴
擁入懷裡　再也不分離

每次交換考卷和你曖昧的交流
多少排列組合只想坐在你身後
若不是當時我們都有一點懵懂
現在的我會多麼不同

溫柔的孩子氣　伴隨那些年光陰
像太陽般和煦　深深溫暖我的心
你笨拙的擦去　我臉上所有淚滴
擁入懷裡　再也不分離

倔強的孩子氣　拉遠我們的距離
自己擦乾淚滴　不回頭轉身而去
是命運的結局　還是下一章序曲
看著天燈　緩緩的升起

直到那天喚醒　平行時空的夢境
月光灑滿回憶　我們在星空下　相遇

给“沈佳宜”

2011-10-26T23:56:00.000+08:00

刚刚看了《那些年，我们一起追的女孩》，现在我的脑海里都是沈佳宜，好啦，准确来说是陈研希啦，她真的真的很漂亮！也许是故事情节的关系，也许是起共鸣的关系，现在就是忘不了她，当然，看这部电影时，脑里不断的想念你（我的“沈佳宜”，那个我为她奋斗的人），其实，如果你还没离开，又有机会看这部电影的话，也许我会约你一起看，但是天意就是这么爱做弄有心人，让我留下了遗憾。。。

但是，人生就是要有一些遗憾才会显得拥有的珍贵，也许我们还有这样的机会吧。。。

“沈佳宜”，我喜欢你！

after 1 week of this short semester, i started to realise doing 4 subjects in short semester is not easy! but i ready to face the pressure and rushing schedule.
i have 1 subject that did not take account into my CGPA, you know, the stupid Sun Zi's Art of War and Business Strategy, which is totally waste of time (although it only take 1 hour per week), but yet, we still have to do the assignment, luckily we are doing as group work.
and the Entrepreneurship have no mid term test, which mean the assignment is weighted 40% of my grade, so that's mean, we only got 1 shot before the final, and it's a group assignment.
hope i still can push up a little bits of my CGPA...

*i miss you, but i never got the chance to tell you...

some review on Ubuntu 11.10

2011-10-16T23:18:00.000+08:00

i can't resist the temptation to upgrade my Ubuntu to 11.10, but there are some minor problems, perhaps not problem, just some bugs to fix...

but there are still some improvements on quite a lot of things.

they have a better architecture for 64-bits and able to install 32-bits software.
programs load faster compare to 11.04 (especially after log in, usually have to wait a while for the program to load, but either version are better than Windows)
improved Unity, they have lens, easier to search files or programs, and there are filters to filter the search results. there are also classification of files and programs as well.
software center is upgraded, have better search function and interface.
the panel on right top corner is simplify
of cause not to forget the improved interface

bugs are:

longer boot time and shut down (shut down is really take a long time compared to previous one, but still better than Windows)
the program switcher is not that nice like other review, maybe some problem with my graphic card? have to find out...
the launcher cannot be rearrange (at least i don't know how)

not to forget that i am upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, if you have raw install, then should be fine.

2011-10-14T19:55:00.002+08:00

It's here, Ubuntu 11.10 was released yesterday night!

*but i will only upgrade mine next week, quite busy watching 'Strike Back: Project Dawn' this few days...

2011-10-11T21:38:00.001+08:00
