Mr.FcuK Snapshots & Lessons of My Life

3 weeks of class and what have I learnt? That all subjects are 100% exam based, that Digi is used by most of the foreign workers, that free trade and protectionism has their own advantages and disadvantages, that working in a Ice-cream factory is cool, that “birds and bees” stand for sex awareness campaign and many many more.

Ultimate is back in action, with now more people, more practice days, hardcore sessions and pure ultimate laughters and fun with Chong. ACE Society, Action with Compassion and Empathy, is also back, with 200+ members, more than double of the amount of members last year. 2 Clubs that I’m proud to be at, 2 Clubs which hopefully can win awards again.

So what’s changed? What’s happening for the past 2 years? Crazy upgrade of computer labs, more tables for laptops, more signboards to help the uncertain, the busy, busy Club and Society Fair and Saiful is learning how to play DotA.

Now - 19 inch flat screen monitor, 4GB ram, Intel Core 2 Duo, Windows Vista and Office 2007 !!

Nice.

More tables in SA now for students to Ad Hoc for DotA and Counterstrike do homework, have meetings and eat.

What’s behind the doors are now easier to be identified.

2 Great awards last year.

We don’t really like huckers. But sometimes we do huck (Caleb and John !!).

Now I know how it feels like to be ran over by rain water when a speeding car goes through the puddle. And if you haven’t tried eating at the stairs of the main door of Avenue K, you should try it. Nothing better than a 1901 Hot Dog, on the 19th day of the month, on the stairs and not raining. And yeah, I shaved, again….

I finally upgraded my Wordpress Version, after using the old one for almost 2 years now. I had to do it manually, but to my surprise it was kind of fast. Luckily everything that I have on my blog is still in tact.

I used this Wordpress Upgrade Manual which is an extended guide that has more steps. The backuping part was the longest, but after that everything was quite easy. If you have to backup your database manually, it is advised to use the Wordpress Backup Database Plugin, created by Skippy. In just a simple few steps, your database will be backup and it will also be easily restored.

Next thing that I want to experiment on is SimpleViewer, which looks very cool. Just need some patience and understanding on the manual to execute the plugins.

Till then, more Frisbee posts to come….

3 of my plans for the summer didn’t look to be really great. Qualifying for Nationals didn’t work for me, as I was busy for both the qualifying sessions, so I couldn’t make it. Blogging on those which I would have supposed to blog also failed as I didn’t really update my blog for really, really long already.

2 plans down and that leaves only the Frisbee plan and it succeeded. I have been teaching Ultimate Frisbee at Sungai Petani voluntarily for about 1 month now. 2 big schools, 1 mini school, and later will be my first session in another big school. First pick-up session in public ground was held on the past Friday and Saturday. Turnout wasn’t that bad, as around 20 people came to enjoy themselves.

Am glad that I was given the opportunity and there’s just a lot of people for me to thank, but I shall leave that for later post. Just a brief blog entry here on how am I doing and I have to say, tired tired. It’s not easy to spread Ultimate when you are going solo or double. I wish Oops (formerly known as Nottingham Knights) were here….

Want to watch funny politics? The last time I heard, Malaysian one was not too bad. In fact it’s quite good and makes you laugh so that you can live longer to see how slow Malaysia’s development is.

So tomorrow live debate, Anwar and Information Minister, 9.00 pm. I think it would be great, maybe like how Robin Williams is in the movie “Man of The Year” …….

It has been a year now since Mr.FcuK went dot com and I just renewed my subscription for another year. It’s a risk worth taking for RM 139 per year as it feels like kinda cool to have a dot com website. I know Chong is used to it already, since he has some ventures of his own with domain names. He even created a simplified web address for those students from Nottingham to check their mail without remembering the long web address. Nottimail.com - I guess that’s what people meant by trying to succeed on the Internet. Never a harm to try out different things and one day Google might just knock on your day with money that you can’t resist, which could let you live like forever, unless you have wives like Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Then maybe you need to buy more underwears for them.

Anyway, here’s a toast to myself (yeah quite sad) for another year that has passed and hopefully I have blog entries which has more humour in it….

Yes, 2 tickets to Air Supply. Me and my dad at Genting for their concert. They are finally here, after I have waited for so long. It has been 3 years since they came to Malaysia, and I had to make sure that I catch them performing live before they couldn’t do any concerts anymore.

My first time at the Arena of Stars and it was my first concert in my life.

It wasn’t the best of seats and next to me was 4 aunties. This was expected. I have learnt my lesson - book early.

Rocking the arena with “Every Woman in the World”, “Two Less Lonely People in the World”, “Making Love Out of Nothing at All”, “Goodbye”, “Even the Nights are Better”, “Lost in Love”, “The One That You Love”, “The Power of Love”, “Without You” and etc.

Russell changed into a Green Batik shirt mid way through the concert. It looked great on him (he’s the one with the arrow pointing on him). They also came down to the audience platform to further electrolyse everyone.

They ended the concert with “All Out of Love”, with people gathering near the stage.

I truly enjoyed the concert as it is definitely one of my dream which I really want to achieve in my life. Not just to attend any concert, but Air Supply’s. Even though their songs are much appreciated by Uncles and Aunties, but for me, their songs really helped me through my hardest times in my life and I am really thankful for that. Not many people of my age would really understand why I love their songs so much, but the songs really make you fall in love.

Thanks dad….

Yeah, finally I have landed on Facebook. Nope, this does not mean I have given up on Friendster, in fact, I am not really active in Friendster anymore. Why Facebook then? Cause my Frisbee mates are there, chatting about upcoming tourneys and some random chats which they find it funny and also criticising about CEOs of certain companies. So I have no choice but to enter Facebook and open myself vulnerable of Wall’s bombardment. I have seen many people’s wall, and it really makes me losing my appetite as it is just to *censored.

Anyway my Plan 2 for entering Magic Nationals this year unlikely will be achieve because I do not really plan to go for Ipoh Qualifiers, as I don’t really have the confidence in playing this year’s meta game. If there is something big or some inspiring vote of confidence, then probably that would be what it takes to change my mind.

On the contrary, praying hard that Plan 1 - teaching Ultimate at Sungai Petani will work. Just one phone call and the plan will be a success. Waiting eagerly and hopefully Monday I can start. Really keeping my fingers crossed as I have just been sleepless for nights.

So if you managed to find my Facebook account, just add me. At least I know that who is reading my blog….

Summer break has started for me, with around 3 months of long holidays. 3 months, with no English Premier League, but at least  there’s Euro and Olympics to watch this time around. 3 months, with no intention of going to intern this year, might probably be a good time for me to do things which could provide me a different life experience.

Coming back here to my hometown here means no pickup every week. So there’s where plan 1 comes in, with the thought of spreading Ultimate Frisbee in my local town, secondary schools being my main target, which can keep me company for at least a month with a taste of Frisbee at northern ground. Whether plan 1 will succeed or not, it depends on me and I guess I will find out in 2 to 3 weeks to come.

With eagerness to go back to KL, plan 2 is to qualify for Magic Nationals 2008. I need to travel down to Ipoh though, with no experience in standard block constructed (sorry for non-magic players) for almost a year, it would take me luck to actually qualify. However, before I can travel towards south, I need to get consent, directions and of course a deck.

Plan 3 - keep blogging during this summer with all those “want-to-post-up-articles but no-time-combined-with-laziness’s articles”. Getting my foot back on track with this almost-one-year project of mine should be done with more inner effort of mine.

3 plans, 3 months. Anyone wants to play Frisbee with me at SP ?? Please……
