Hmm…

Cryptic

I saw this ad on the floor while walking on the Clayton campus
today. It’s for the regular poster sales they have at the campus
center. Very enigmatic…

Anyway, I just got a call from an Optus representative offering to
upgrade my phone set. It sounded good until he mentioned the 24 month
contract. I told him there’s no way I can do that, coz I’m graduating
in June. Well, he said I’m due for an upgrade (probably part of their
new customer service to reduce churn) and offered me A$11 free call
credits per month for 12 months. There’s a catch though, if I leave
within 12 months, I have to pay A$55 and even my poor math skillz tells
me that’s not good value considering the fact that I’m graduating in
June. Okay, their anti-churn techniques are very sneaky indeed. Oh, and
churn is the industry term for customers switching over to a
competitor’s network. Now, I bargained for a 6 month term of A$22
credits but of course he couldn’t make that happen. Haha! I pushed for
the ‘yes’AnyPhone plan, which I really want to get on coz of the 30
cents for 10 minutes calls to landlines and mobiles. It’s very useful
when using a calling card at night. Unfortunately, that requires me to
change my plan to a A$55 dollar a month one, with A$55 call credits. It
sounded okay at first, but wait, being on that plan will increase my 30
second charges by 6 cents. Of course I declined. Oh yeah, something
funny happened at this point. The rep was looking at my details and he
was wondering how I got on a government plan. Heh! My current plan has
really cheap per minute rates and it’s charged every 30 seconds (more
cost effective) and I need to pay for usage only, so it’s not actually
a plan. He puzzled over it and asked me how I got on this rate which is
meant for loyal customers in the government and large organizations.
Well, to tell you the truth, I don’t know. I stopped pushing for
upgrades after that, none of them sounded appealing to me. I also don’t
want to lose my current rates, although it’s very possible that the
reason I’m getting these rates is due to a mistake on Optus’s part. I’m
already on a loyalty government plan with cheap per minute rates? I
don’t mind at all. 😉

Trapped under ice

I can’t go back to sleep. Wanted to cook some breakfast but my
drumsticks were trapped! It’s been frozen into the freezer compartment
of the community fridge. The thing with the fridge is, it doesn’t close
properly anymore because the magnetic strip along the door has lost its
affinity for the ones along the frame of the fridge. Hah! I can still
think this early in the morning. I’ll be going to slops to grab
something to eat later.

Link of the Day: Shirley’s blog [geocities.com]

I forgot how I got here, was surfing around and stumbled upon this
page. She mentions she’s from Sarawak on the page and I clicked to the
photos page and found the first picture familiar…looks like the YMCA
camp (at least I think that’s what it’s called) back in Sibu, but then
it could be any river. I then scrolled down a bit and saw the class
photo. Uniforms are pretty generic so I couldn’t be sure, but the two
people at the back with the jerseys have the Methodist High School
colors. And that’s definitely the Methodist High School, Sibu
administration office in the background. 🙂 AFAIK there’s not many Sibu
bloggers out there, so it’s a coincidence that I found another one.

Oh ya, I was doing some research for my essay and just for fun, did some Google searches:

[Edit: Deleted links. They were direct Google searches for variants of “dexamphetamine malaysia”]

Those search strings ranked sixthseal.com as #2. Okay, let’s try the
other name, dextroamphetamine. Dexamphetamine and dextroamphetamine is
the same thing, both are d-amphetamine which has the dextro isomer as
opposed to l-amphetamine which is the levo isomer. The speed you buy
off the street is a racemic (meaning it has both +/- isomers) mixture
or dl-amphetamine. For what it’s worth, a piece on Erowid [erowid.org] says that the d-amphetamine (dexamphetamine) is more recreational than l-amphetamine.

Anyway, that’s going off on a tangent. We’ll now use dextroamphetamine instead of dexamphetamine in the search string:

[Edit: Deleted links. They were direct Google searches for variants of “dextroamphetamine malaysia”]

That pushes the site down to #3 on the returned hits.

Replacing dextroamphetamine with dextro-amphetamine returned only a single result, which is a mass news link site.

What is this long winded business about? It seems to suggest that
dexamphetamine is not approved for use or prescribed in Malaysia. Just
for fun I did some more searches and it’s not on the Malaysia National Essential Drugs List (.pdf file) [pharmacy.gov.my]. More importantly, it’s not on the Malaysia National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau (Biro Pengawalan Farmaseutikal Kebangsaan)
[bpfk.gov.my] database of registered pharmaceuticals. Surprisingly,
Ritalin (methylphenidate hydrochloride) is approved though. veritas,
it’s a good thing the doctor didn’t check. Your story about being prescribed dexamphetamine in Malaysia [sixthseal.com] wouldn’t have held up. Sing “Amazing Grace” or something. 🙂

Hmm…the lower right hand corner of my monitor seems to constantly flickering for some reason.

[Edit (7th April 2003): Deleted direct Google search links. The site was getting penalized for it.]

April Fool’s Day

by

Haha! That’s a good one. 🙂 I shouldn’t have told you so many
details of my personal life. You made it so convincing, I’ll give you
credit for that! It’s amazing that you can remember bits and pieces of
my personal life during our conversations (some of them over a year
ago!) and integrate it into the joke. Good thing you had the foresight
to SMS me after posting it so I can do some damage control. :p Sorry to
ruin your April Fool’s Joke, but you’re likely to give my parents a
heart attack. As I’ve told you before, they already suspect I’m you.

To my parents and girlfriend: veritas’s post below is an April Fool’s joke. Don’t worry, we’re two completely separate entities.
To law enforcement officers, investigators or related persons(s):
veritas’s post below is an April Fool’s joke. He’s a guest author on
this blog. I’m the owner of this domain and I do not possess any
illegal substances.

Oh, I already saw a comment and you didn’t manage to fool teddybwear [blogspot.com]. 😉

Front bumper. On the sidewalk.

I just came back from Moomba. Saw this while crossing the road on
Swanston Street. There was this police car beside a red car and an
Asian family were talking to the police. The red car seems to be
their’s and apparently someone removed the whole front bumper of their
car and put it by the side of the road on the sidewalk! 🙂 It looked so
funny, so I snapped a photo of it. It’s a pity for the folks it
happened to though. Hmm, there seems to be a higher than usual police
presence in the city, probably due to the Formula 1 and the Moomba
Festival. Well, I’m going to write about Karen’s birthday @ Dion first
and then Moomba so expect those later in the night. Meanwhile, look at
these photos. Not something you see everyday.

Remorsefulness – spell check says there is such a word

by

hb6mar.jpg

That’s me, taken today as promised. Showing my girlfriend my
remorseful face to apologize for not hearing the cell phone ring
yesterday night. She called me 39 times but I didn’t even hear it! I’ve
never gone into such a deep sleep before. I’m sorry Louisa! I hate it
when that happens too. 🙂 I slept like a dead man yesterday. It was
only for a couple of hours, I was feeling tired so I laid down for a
while and I just totally passed out. I haven’t been sleeping much
lately because I’m finishing up my Industrial Experience stuff. Several
other people called me and I got a couple of SMSs as well but I never
even heard anything. It was the dreamless sleep of the dead. 🙂

berrytor.jpg

It was around 8 pm at that time and I only woke up at around 1 am.
Adrian called me for supper and I must have been in a low sleep stage
then coz I heard the phone ringing this time. What luck, I would have
slept through the night otherwise. I didn’t feel hungry but the Berry
Tornado sure looked good and ice cream is easy to digest. 🙂

Well, there’s another reason for being remorseful. I failed my
summer semester subject by 5 marks. I got 45. Two remorsefulness for
the price of one. How wonderful.

Wet farts

by

shitpant.jpg
The stained seat of my pants

I’m wondering whether I should post this at all since it’s so
disgusting. After much contemplation, I thought “what the heck”. 🙂
This happened today. I had just woken up. That’s my comfy old PJs you
see. Anyway, there I was, sitting up after waking and turning on the
computer. It’s just within arms reach because you won’t believe how
small the room in our halls are.

I have a small bed that’s so small that everyone who sees it thinks
I’m going to fall off the bed the moment I turn. Beside my bed is my
table. That’s the only table provided by halls in the room and there’s
no space left to upgrade your table should you feel the desire to. I
have a chair in front of the table. On the table, is the computer.
There is not an inch of space between the bed, chair and table.

There is no way to pass through unless you jump over the chair.
Anyway, that’s how small my room is but I don’t know why I am talking
about this. Well, anyway, I just woke up and turned on the computer to
check my mail. I felt a fart coming on. That’s normal, I have very
regular bowel movements. I have to go very soon after I wake up. Well,
I let it go and noticed something uncharacteristic about the
flatulence. It felt…wet.

I turned around to look at myself. I didn’t really even have to since I already felt it before I saw it. I wasn’t wearing anything under my PJs. Slimy. Accidents do happen. Oops!

Sorry if I disgusted anyone. 🙂

It’s just like Magic!

There I was…taking a dump in the toilet this morning. I was still
in my PJs (I just woke up) and I brought my cell phone into the toilet
to play some Tetris. As I was about to wipe myself, I put the cell
phone down on top of the two rolls of spare toilet paper that has been
stashed in one corner of the toilet and pulled on the roll. I actually
can use one hand to wipe myself but that requires this trick where you
take a hold of the end of the roll and pull hard towards you to unravel
it. Once a desirable length has been acheived, you flick the length of
toilet paper downwards (while still holding to it) in a hard and fast
motion. I was in no mood for bathroom acrobatics this morning, so I
just put the cell phone down and used both hands.

Anyway, after doing my business, I washed my hands and went back to
my room. A bit of background information: my toilet is shared with 3
other people, each stairway floor has one toilet and each stairway
floor houses 4 single-occupancy rooms and thus 4 people. The cleaners
come every morning to clean the bathrooms, restock on toilet paper and
empty the floor waste bin. Well, I was in my room and working a bit on
my IE when I realized that I forgot to bring my cell phone back from
the toilet. I went back to get it and found out that:

celltp.jpg
My cell phone has been transformed into an unused roll of toilet paper.

Anyway, the cleaners had been there since there was a new roll of
toilet paper on top of the previous 2, so I called my own cell and one
of the cleaners picked it up. I arranged to have it returned to the
operations office so everything was fine. Just thought it was funny
that my first though was “Oh, my cell phone turned into toilet paper”.
