no lights at the end of the tunnel.
confidence level, 0%.

getting lost in one rabbit hole after another.

- : umm.which monitor?
+: 3rd from left.

u know u have got too many monitors if you have to give directions to get to it.

where i spend my nights. the eerie workplace...8.36km away from home.
8 screens to aid in alien detections.
1 screen (laptop) to watch movies while ignoring detected aliens.

where i spend my days. the boring test bed, 5 minutes walk from home.
the big screen is reserved for movies. says me.

i think..i'll need to double my spec's thickness when i get back.

There are usually 3 main reactions when people heard that I came from Malaysia.
The first one was an excited reaction, mostly from people from the Middle East, who either have spent some time of vacation there, or have relatives who have been there and raves about it.
The second reaction is what I will generally get from Nigerian people. They will sing the tagline
'Malaysia, Truly Asia' for you. Seriously. With the right pitching and all. Our Tourism Ministry must've done a helluva job advertising there.
The third reaction, is generally from white people... wearing dumbfounded faces when you show them youtube videos of KL. This is because.. years after they colonized Malaysia.. they are still thinking most people there still wear grass skirts and shoot birds with blowpipes for dinner, and worships white people. well..ok that one people still do.

this poster advertises summer exchange student programmes..from Surrey to UKM.
untuk belajar tentang tropical heritage dan kehidupan orang2 asli. memang sesuai buat course ni kat UKM. banyak orang-orang asli hidup kat situ. pergi sekolah pakai skirt lalang. merempit sambil menyumpit.
kan kinah kan?

selepas melihat atul dan fik belagak sungguh dengan kelajuan menaip diorang..
tiba2 terasa semangat mahu berlagak datang turun dari awan mendung.

this is the after effects of a large cup of cappucino on a gloomy morning.

It may be summer over here.. but the weather's winter most of the time.
Wisps of fog still came out from my mouth when I breathed and spoke, at noon.
The warmest it gets on some weekends..are around 22 degree where the sun really pierced through and get the english people coming out of their homes in droves to sunbath on the hills.
That will be like..once a week, if they are lucky. Like I said, most of the time it is winter,
setting gloomy moods throughout the week. Nak jalan tak boleh..nak buat keje pon takde mood. (kalau dah pemalas tu mmg pemalas la tak kira la cuaca camane pon)

So most of the time now, I am stuck in the wireless test bed lab. 2 months to go before everything will be wrapped up and I'll probably never bother to study again in my life after this.
For my dissertation, I am supposed to extend the functionalities of a mobile phone.
Let's say .. 2 years from now everyone became as cool as me and owns a smart iPhone.
And let's say.. by then people who doesn't have internet on their phones are just dead people, or pathetic people who are social outcasts. So with the internet and a cool phone, people should be able to manipulate all the things in their home, their fridge, their air-cont, their lights, their whatever freaking electronics.

In the hot summer, or if they work in the hot and stuffy all year Cyberjaya, .. one hour before going back home they could switch on their air-cont in their home, just with one click on a cool handphone.. and go home to a lovely and cooled room, and sleep. Or for people who hires savage indon maids to take care of their kids.. trigger the web cam in their home to send mms to their phone.. monitoring the indons poking at their kids with hot irons. Or.. just testing the temperature at home..from anywhere on earth.. to see if you idiots forgot to turn off your stove. (this thing really just have the future me in my mind)

well.. that's the vision. and if by any miracle I managed to get it to work.. I'll die happily having contributed to making the world a lazier place.. and increasing the carbon effects of air-conditioning.Until that is complete.. 2 months in this dusty lab..

Meanwhile.. what the other english people are doing in these blurry mornings..
all dressed up...doing everything from lolling around and tying up their shoe laces..
doing everything but rolling the ball. playing the laziest game on earth. lawn bowling.
