I like to analyze things and to improve the entire process. So looking into it again and after talking with Wheimeng, I'll say I'm one who needs to scope down and start tackling the dreams.

So.. I actually asked MC (my hair stylist) just now about the way to make my hair to grow faster, her answer is:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Try to wash your hair more frequent, that's what I do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;My sister told me another few weeks ago:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Try to cut your hair more frequent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;What'd be the right one? I asked the one who knows everything:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="nobr"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=How+to+grow+my+hair+faster" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.google.com/search?q=How+to+grow+my+hair+faster&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;And I got this:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;In short, no pun intended, you can't. Putting pregnancy and illness aside, hair pretty much grows at a maximum rate of half an inch per month no matter what you do. A little faster in the summer than in the winter.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Of all the hair questions that we receive at the Hairstyles Catalog, questions regarding the rate of hair growth is by far the number one question. Many people write to us with remedies that they have heard about that will make their hair grow faster; from washing their hair with eggs, to cutting their hair during a new moon. This is what we call, "Hair Voodoo". There is not an inch of truth to any of these remedies.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;hr /&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="nobr"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hair-styles.org/hair-grow-faster.html" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.hair-styles.org/hair-grow-faster.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;:(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3549711-7710209562917178365?l=yuenqi.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/feeds/7710209562917178365/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3549711&amp;postID=7710209562917178365&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/7710209562917178365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/7710209562917178365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/2007/02/growing-your-hair-faster.html' title='Growing your hair faster?'/><author><name>yuenqi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13369932171812956829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13658636255452221073'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549711.post-5134264548920216193</id><published>2007-02-01T20:32:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-02-01T20:40:43.746+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='she'/><title type='text'>Then You Know</title><content type='html'>Something happened on the 27th, it made me to realise how easy it is to transform life to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a talk with her and I know there are still a lot of things I'm still struggling with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sorry.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3549711-5134264548920216193?l=yuenqi.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/feeds/5134264548920216193/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3549711&amp;postID=5134264548920216193&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/5134264548920216193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/5134264548920216193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/2007/02/then-you-know.html' title='Then You Know'/><author><name>yuenqi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13369932171812956829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13658636255452221073'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549711.post-8141841516086979936</id><published>2007-01-02T22:59:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-02-01T20:40:58.893+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='maplestory'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gaming experience'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gunbound'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='game'/><title type='text'>Gaming Auld Days</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Gaming was part of my life and had left behind.

GunBound is a two-dimensional ballistics-simulation game. In GunBound, players are assigned to opposing teams that take turns firing at each other with their tanks (called "mobiles" in GunBound parlance).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="nobr"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GunBound" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GunBound&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I discovered some guides online which explained the methods of increasing shooting accuracy, I was not satisfied with them as they are deduced from empirical findings. I spent some time to relearn my algebra and trajectory, started off with &lt;span class="nobr"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gnuplot.info/" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow"&gt;GNU Plot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and created a set of high accuracy tools for formula deduction.  &lt;p&gt;I created a set of formulas and guides, &lt;span class="nobr"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=phantomd+gunbound" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow"&gt;contributed to the community&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, joined the &lt;span class="nobr"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gbfeel.net/forum/" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow"&gt;No. 1 guild - ㅋㅌㅌㄴ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, won the KL championship and ended my Gunbound journey after that.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;My way of formula deduction was a secret. No one could write and publish accurate formulas (an almost 100% hit-rate like an &lt;span class="nobr"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aimbot" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow"&gt;aimbot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;) as many as I did in the shortest time and you hardly find people discussed about the game from technical point of view - calculation, gravity, mass, etc. The said high accuracy tools were plotting tool written in C# and formula/indexes "on-the-fly" generator written in Java.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Some people called me professor, some called me nerd, and some called me cheater. But whatever it is, these are the few things I learned from the game:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Champions do not become champions when they win the game, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Thinking out of the box is a must-do in order to make an impact to your current situation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;It is boring to be a regular player&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;   &lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name="Gaming-MapleStory"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;MapleStory&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b class="strong"&gt;What is MapleStory?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;MapleStory is a free, 2D, side-scrolling Massively Multiplayer Online Game developed by the Korean company Wizet.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In the game, players defend the "Maple World" from monsters and develop their character's skills and abilities, as in typical role-playing games. Players can interact with others in many ways, such as through chatting, trading, and playing minigames. Groups of players can band together in "parties" to hunt monsters and share the rewards. Players can also band in a guild to interact more easily with each other.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="nobr"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maplestory" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maplestory&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;MapleStory is a boring MMORPG which I dived into after quitting Gunbound. You can't apply physics and mathematical knowledge into it as compared with Gunbound as they are two totally different game.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I had a college mate to accompany me in this game, a programming freak as well, &lt;span class="nobr"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kahyin.com/" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow"&gt;Kah Yin (aka Ava)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. I named myself &lt;em&gt;Rivera&lt;/em&gt; (still known as PhantomD in the community due to my previously established reputation) and played as a female &lt;span class="nobr"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapleStory_character_classes#Page" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow"&gt;Page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, a rare character class.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I quit this game and online gaming entirely before my final year second semester started, I was the highest level Page in &lt;span class="nobr"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.maplesea.com/" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow"&gt;South East Asia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;These are a few things I learned in this game:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Diving into a game by taking advantage of its current market conditions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Creating blue ocean, making competition irrelevant, e.g. doing something rare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Winners do not do it alone but do as a team&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3549711-8141841516086979936?l=yuenqi.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/feeds/8141841516086979936/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3549711&amp;postID=8141841516086979936&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/8141841516086979936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/8141841516086979936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/2007/01/gaming-auld-days.html' title='Gaming Auld Days'/><author><name>yuenqi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13369932171812956829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13658636255452221073'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549711.post-116542275479238583</id><published>2006-12-07T00:31:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-07T00:34:40.836+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Penalty on Dissertation Report</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;Dissertation report&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;pre&gt;KR SELVARAJ &lt;kr.selvaraj@nottingham.edu.my&gt;  Wed, Dec 6, 2006 at 10:34 AM&lt;br /&gt;To: Yuen Chi Lian &lt;yuenqi@gmail.com&gt;, VAHID MAHLOUJI &lt;eay53vm@nottingham.edu.my&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Both,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I come to know that both of you have not yet submitted your final&lt;br /&gt;report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you delay, then marks will be deducted according to the penalty&lt;br /&gt;rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Kind Regards,&lt;br /&gt;KR.Selvaraj&lt;/eay53vm@nottingham.edu.my&gt;&lt;/yuenqi@gmail.com&gt;&lt;/kr.selvaraj@nottingham.edu.my&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;RE:Dissertation report&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;pre&gt;Yuen-Chi Lian &lt;yuenqi@gmail.com&gt;  Thu, Dec 7, 2006 at 12:17 AM&lt;br /&gt;To: KR SELVARAJ &lt;kr.selvaraj@nottingham.edu.my&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cc: VAHID MAHLOUJI &lt;eay53vm@nottingham.edu.my&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi Mr. Selvaraj,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have graduated two semesters ago.

At Saturday night, we went to Luna Bar (together with Kris, Terry and bunch of his friends), which was the initial plan. We couldn't make it as Roger was actually wearing shorts. (Not really that short! Which is why I do not like for ladies it would have even been alright to wear nothing) Five of us out of the ten+, then, headed to Thai Club as suggested by some of them, we have CC and his girlfriend to join us as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I couldn't feel liking the environment, both levels were horrible. I took twice visiting the ground floor, seeing chubby bitches dancing on the dance floors didn't &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;really&lt;/span&gt; make me annoyed, but I felt leaving the place and soon, as planned, received phone calls from Zhanshen to join him, Whei Meng and Su Hao at Velvet Underground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Busy, busy and busy. A place full of people to be seen, particularly, divas. To rate? Thai Club vs. Velvet = 40% vs. 110%.

Sorry about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the 1-month time in Sydney was really enriching, especially the working culture, which in Malaysia is nowhere near as relaxing as there, as working hours are short (but better efficiency and planning) and people are friendly and helpful. As you may ask, why were you there - part of my jobs is to be a support engineer for the professional issue tracker - &lt;a href="http://jira.atlassian.com/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=yuenchi.lian"&gt;Atlassian-JIRA&lt;/a&gt;, which &lt;a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira"&gt;Apache&lt;/a&gt; is using.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pubs, bars, and hotels are the usual place we went for lunch or dinner. I definitely miss the various beers I have had over there - Alice Ale, Carlton Draught, Cooper Brewery, Crown Lager,  Corona Extra, Guinness, Toohey, Victoria Bitter; alcohol drinks - Long Isle Iced Tea (vodka, tequila, rum, gin, triple sec), Tequila Straight.. Anyway, as souvenir for &lt;a href="http://wheimeng.blogspot.com/"&gt;Whei-Meng&lt;/a&gt; and my high school buddies, I bought two bottles of Chivas Regal in the duty free zone before I departed. (;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were staying in a nice apartment facing the harbour. And guess what? My colleague - Terry  threw three weekend parties in these 4~5 weeks time. I spent some of my weekends at different places, twice of the Sundays I was in Pastow to look for my dad's pal - Dominic, and one of the weekends, I was in Melbourne to visit my uncle and his family. I went to the Olympic /Telstra stadium too, for the Bulldog vs. Knight game, invaluable experience!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A day before I flied, I was shopping at QVB with my female colleague - Mei-Yan, buying stuffs for family and friends. We (colleagues) had our last party that night and went down to King's Cross in the midnight, fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too much to write about, and I will probably stop here. I am ready for the 73-lap Indianapolis GP going live in 1h 30m, which the Ferraris dominated yesterday in the qualifying session.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tags&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/atlassian" rel="tag"&gt;atlassian&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/australia" rel="tag"&gt;australia&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/customware" rel="tag"&gt;customware&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/f1" rel="tag"&gt;f1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/jira" rel="tag"&gt;jira&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/melbourne" rel="tag"&gt;melbourne&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/oz" rel="tag"&gt;oz&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/schumi" rel="tag"&gt;schumi&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/sydney" rel="tag"&gt;sydney&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3549711-115185219247155254?l=yuenqi.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/feeds/115185219247155254/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3549711&amp;postID=115185219247155254&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/115185219247155254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/115185219247155254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/2006/07/busy-but-happy.html' title='Busy but Happy'/><author><name>yuenqi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13369932171812956829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13658636255452221073'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549711.post-114949725044788100</id><published>2006-06-05T16:46:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-27T12:39:12.186+08:00</updated><title type='text'>6 Pounder</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/6783/tomorrow8nl.png" alt="666" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3549711-114949725044788100?l=yuenqi.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/feeds/114949725044788100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3549711&amp;postID=114949725044788100&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/114949725044788100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/114949725044788100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/2006/06/6-pounder.html' title='6 Pounder'/><author><name>yuenqi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13369932171812956829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13658636255452221073'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549711.post-114755742339658897</id><published>2006-05-14T05:49:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-05-24T01:03:12.266+08:00</updated><title type='text'>One Week Passed</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q: (Fritz-Dieter Rencken – The Citizen) Michael, it’s nothing to do with the session, but can youconfirm reports that you’ll be co-operating in some sort of Hollywood movie or cartoon?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MS: Yeah, it’s true that I give my voice for a sort of cartoon movie, yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q: (Fritz-Dieter Rencken – The Citizen) What character?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MS: A Ferrari car, what else?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haha, I like this.

The other Bridgestone teams looked competitive too in the free practices, notably, Christian Albers of MF-1 Toyota was one of the competitive ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The three-week break was funny, the tabloids could not stop talking about the new contract of Schumi, Kimi, Montoya, etc. The most ridiculous one was &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Flavio Briatore wanted Schumi to join Renault in 2007&lt;/span&gt;. Flavio smirked to respond to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically, most teams have upgraded the chasis, revised the engine and spent number of time in tyre development. Ferrari is expected to be competitive throughout the weekend, due to Schumi's outstanding performance last year: drove the worst car they have ever had, qualified fourteenth but won second with only a 0.2 second gap with the then champion Fernando Alonso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Read More&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.formula1.com/race/result/754/9.html"&gt;Friday Free Practice 1 Results&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.formula1.com/race/result/754/10.html"&gt;Friday Free Practice 2 Results&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tags&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/albers" rel="tag"&gt;albers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/alonso" rel="tag"&gt;alonso&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/f1" rel="tag"&gt;f1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/formula+one" rel="tag"&gt;formula one&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/imola" rel="tag"&gt;imola&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/motorsports" rel="tag"&gt;motorsports&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span class="tags"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/san+marino" rel="tag"&gt;san marino&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/schumi" rel="tag"&gt;schumi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3549711-114567466756812246?l=yuenqi.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/feeds/114567466756812246/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3549711&amp;postID=114567466756812246&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/114567466756812246'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/114567466756812246'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/2006/04/bridgestone-teams-shine.html' title='Bridgestone Teams Shine'/><author><name>yuenqi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13369932171812956829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13658636255452221073'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549711.post-114416851470583847</id><published>2006-04-04T23:06:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-04-06T23:06:33.423+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Unagi Kabayaki</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="photo-viewer"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6445/82/1600/unagi-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6445/82/400/unagi-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6445/82/1600/unagi-2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6445/82/400/unagi-2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to have  dinner at Wasabi Bistro (Mandarin Oriental) with colleagues, it was fun. Have you been there? It was my first time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I haven't had the time to blog since the day I started working. My company, CustomWare, based in Sydney. We focus majorly on &lt;a href="http://www.webmethods.com/"&gt;webMethods&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://java.sun.com/javaee/"&gt;J2EE (Java EE)&lt;/a&gt;, and other enterprise solutions. I'm sure there are a lot for me to learn in this company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chapreedagrande.net/?p=50"&gt;Syefri tagged me&lt;/a&gt; few weeks back, about schooling,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;How many schools did I go to?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;School? I am a guy, but I studied in a primary girl school. I entered Chonghwa Independent High School when I was 12, spent 7 years (form 1 to 6 plus upper 6) there. &lt;strike&gt;I completed my Computer Science diploma in Tayor's College, and graduated from University of Nottingham's (Malaysia Campus) school of computing as a Bachelor of Computing and Information Systems.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Was I the studious nerd, or the last minute hero?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last minute hero, yea. Pretty good in school wide examinations, but usuaully screwed up in nation wide examinations, i.e. PMR, SPM, STPM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Was I the class ‘taiko’ or the teacher’s pet?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;English teacher’s pet. Outside English slot, I’m a typical “weird” student.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What was the biggest rule I broke in school?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two things, 1. I mentioned this in &lt;a href="http://devel.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/2006/01/tagged_meme_mem.html"&gt;my old blog&lt;/a&gt;, I caused a complete shutdown to the school's electricity provision. 2. I was rebellious (it was form 3), I threw a chalk at my teacher when she was stepping out of the classroom (as she scolded me before that in the class), anyway, it hit her ass, I didn't know I could aim that well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Three subjects I enjoyed.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Computer, Mathematics, and er..

Anyway, let me recap what have happened this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Monday&lt;/span&gt; - Went to &lt;a href="http://www.sehmy.com/"&gt;Shin-Etsu&lt;/a&gt; for an interview. An interesting job, I will have the chance to involve in low level (RPG, COBOL, AL) and high level (C/C++, C#.NET) development, but the distance is just too far for me (Setapak to Shah Alam).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tuesday&lt;/span&gt; - Went for my third interview with &lt;a href="www.customware.net"&gt;Customware&lt;/a&gt;. I did some study on &lt;a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/"&gt;Jakarta POI-HSSF&lt;/a&gt; too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wednesday&lt;/span&gt; - I received an offer from Customware. I will be working for them starting the coming Monday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Thursday&lt;/span&gt; - Spent some time on &lt;a href="http://download.openoffice.org/680/sdk.html"&gt;OpenOffice SDK&lt;/a&gt;. Went to Mid Valley to buy sleeves and pants with mom in the evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Friday&lt;/span&gt; - &lt;a href="http://www.midvalley.com.my/"&gt;Mid Valley&lt;/a&gt; again. This time I was there with Elaine, her sister and Ryan. Watched &lt;a href="http://vforvendetta.warnerbros.com/"&gt;V for Vendetta&lt;/a&gt;, liked the movie, &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000204/"&gt;Portman&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0915989/"&gt;Weaving&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Saturday - &lt;/span&gt;My sister brought us to a studio for some shots. She had her convocation last week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow will be a busy day too, going to meet Dr. Ooi and James at Nilai. I will be blogging again, hopefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="tag_list"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tags:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class="tags"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/customware" rel="tag"&gt;customware&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/jakarta" rel="tag"&gt;jakarta&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/open+office" rel="tag"&gt;open office&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/poi-hssf" rel="tag"&gt;poi-hssf&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/portman" rel="tag"&gt;portman&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/vendetta" rel="tag"&gt;vendetta&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/weaving" rel="tag"&gt;weaving&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/yuenqi" rel="tag"&gt;yuenqi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3549711-114328756008752495?l=yuenqi.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/feeds/114328756008752495/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3549711&amp;postID=114328756008752495&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/114328756008752495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/114328756008752495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/2006/03/employed-java-developer.html' title='Employed: Java Developer'/><author><name>yuenqi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13369932171812956829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13658636255452221073'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549711.post-114275803068575677</id><published>2006-03-19T16:38:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-03-21T09:45:57.426+08:00</updated><title type='text'>1-2 Finish for Renault and 1-2-3-4 Finish for Michelin</title><content type='html'>Giancarlo Fisichella and Fernando Alonso brought home 18 precious championship points for Renault in the Malaysian Grand Prix. Jenson Button could not outdo himself to overtake Alonso and only managed to earn a third-place podium finish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both Williams' drivers, Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg, faced a disappointing afternoon, having their Cosworth engine blown up in the midst of the race. McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen had a contact with Redbull's Christian Klien; the flying finn retired straight after the accident, and once again, he was out of luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It showed little sign of rain but it faded away as the race progressed (down from 50%+ to 40%+ humidity), however, in Kuala Lumpur (the place I stay), it has rained twice since 2pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, both Ferrari drivers started from the middle and back of the grid, and managed to score 7 points in the Constructor's ranking. Felippe Massa did a wicked 1-stop strategy to beat his team mate Michael Schumacher with less than 1 second ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up to this point, Renault are leading in the Constructor's ranking (28 points) with 13 points ahead of McLaren and Ferrari (15 points).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;More..&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://formula1.com/race/result/752/8.html"&gt;Race Results&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="tag_list"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tags:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span class="tags"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/1-2+finish" rel="tag"&gt;1-2 finish&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/f1" rel="tag"&gt;f1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/ferrari" rel="tag"&gt;ferrari&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/formula+one" rel="tag"&gt;formula one&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/grand+prix" rel="tag"&gt;grand prix&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/gp" rel="tag"&gt;gp&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/malaysia" rel="tag"&gt;malaysia&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/malaysia+gp" rel="tag"&gt;malaysia gp&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/mclaren" rel="tag"&gt;mclaren&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/michelin" rel="tag"&gt;michelin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/motosports" rel="tag"&gt;motosports&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/renault" rel="tag"&gt;renault&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/season+2006" rel="tag"&gt;season 2006&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/sepang" rel="tag"&gt;sepang&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3549711-114275803068575677?l=yuenqi.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/feeds/114275803068575677/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3549711&amp;postID=114275803068575677&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/114275803068575677'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3549711/posts/default/114275803068575677'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yuenqi.blogspot.com/2006/03/1-2-finish-for-renault-and-1-2-3-4.html' title='1-2 Finish for Renault and 1-2-3-4 Finish for Michelin'/><author><name>yuenqi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13369932171812956829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13658636255452221073'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549711.post-114256776805673455</id><published>2006-03-17T11:16:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-03-18T15:17:05.553+08:00</updated><title type='text'>It is F1 Weekend Again</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="post-update"&gt;&lt;h4&gt;* Update - 3:11PM, March 18 - Saturday Qualifying *&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giancarlo Fisichella earned his 3rd pole position in his career in the closing stage of the qualifying session, closely followed by Jenson Button and the super-rookie Nico Rosberg.

Coulthard is not the only victim of the rule though, Felippe Massa changed his engine as well after an post-race examination, however, Massa has a stronger car to outdo himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spectators are anticipating few highlights in Malaysian GP: Will the v8 engines survive under the extreme hot weather of Malaysia? Will Schumacher break Senna's pole-position record? Will Nico Rosberg surprise us again?

It was, however, a disappointing afternoon for Fellipe Massa who was on the wheel of F248 for the first time in an official game for Ferrari. He had a terrible pit stop in the very beginning and forced to get stuck in the middle. As for his country fella, Ruben Barichello, it was not a good race to him either, he suffered gear box problem which caused him to use only 6 out of the 7 available gears. I pity Giancarlo Fisichella the most, he is the person with worst luck, as he has to live under the shadow of Renault's inconsistency. He had 6 retirements last season, and today, he quit the game after losing hydraulics in lap 20, running a retarded car with only 7,000 rpm (usually 19,000 rpm).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the race result,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;1 F Alonso (Renault)&lt;br /&gt;2 M Schumacher (Ferrari)&lt;br /&gt;3 K Raikkonen (McLaren)&lt;br /&gt;4 J Button (Honda)&lt;br /&gt;5 JP Montoya (McLaren)&lt;br /&gt;6 M Webber (Williams)&lt;br /&gt;7 N Rosberg (Williams)&lt;br /&gt;8 C Klien (Red Bull)&lt;/blockquote&gt;Oh.. by the way, I watched it live on 8TV 7 oclock in the evening, but they delayed the coverage by resuming it at 8:30 for the 30 minutes Malay news. I found it an insufferably stupid decision, who's (F1 fans) going to watch delayed coverage? It totally flung my excitement out. I was pissed, sent them a negative feedback via email, and forced to catch the latest news in &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/4797550.stm"&gt;text version&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know some people will suggest me to get an Astro, but that's not really a smart choice. Firstly, I do not like spending my time in front of the TV, except for F1 and soccer. Secondly, I reckon that it is part of the Astro's game to make us to subscribe its packages, and apparently I won't, at least.. at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not put me into any debate like, "shut up, it's free okay?". I have the &lt;span class="hw"&gt;carte blanche&lt;/span&gt; to complain, and what I want to say is, they are having two channels (TV3 and 8TV) to work out with but they did not plan the schedule very well. The Saturday F1 qualifying session is clashing with 絕對 superstar, the Sunday F1 official race not only is interrupted by 30 minutes news, it is "graciously" delayed as well. I don't mind interrupted live coverage honestly, please, just don't delay it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They shouldn't have promised about this live coverage thing in the newspaper.

I have been impatiently waiting since the end of the 2005 season, which was about 5 months ago, and it finally started 15 minutes ago in Bahrain when the clock ticked off at 4 oclock (GMT +8). When the F1 season comes, family members are going to hate me for I will skip having dinner together with them on Saturday and Sunday. Aha, sorry my dears, I can't tell which side is more important!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="photo-viewer"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6445/82/1600/f1-bahrain.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6445/82/400/f1-bahrain.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6445/82/1600/f1-top3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6445/82/400/f1-top3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6445/82/1600/f1-f248.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6445/82/400/f1-f248.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, if you have ever read my old blog, you should know that I'm a  Scuderia-Ferrari-Marlboro supporter. Last year in Bahrain, it was an utterly bitter experience to Ferrari and huge disappointment to the fans, the F2005 was introduced two races earlier but it failed to deliver what everyone expected. Today in Bahrain, I am still unsure whether Schumi and Massa will be driving the brand new F248 or v8-engined/v10-engined F2004 chasis. But looking at the timesheets of their intensive training in the past few months, I believe they have the potential to fight for the podium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing I like about and wish to learn from Michael Schumacher is his cool manner in responding the press and his known optimistic behavior added with a bit of sense of humours:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I guess if you take a calculator, take the number of races, the number of points available you can give it a percentage. I am not quick enough to calculate that for you now but that is the way I see it. As long as mathematically there is an opportunity, whatever the percentage, we go for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://formula1.com/news/3268.html"&gt;More..&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I said that at mid-season I will decide if I want to go on or not go on, and 99-percent I do this with Ferrari if I go on, I should say 99.9-percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://formula1.com/news/3910.html"&gt;More..&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I guess he has been asked a lot of questions regarding his car number in this season (no more No. 1 anymore), like, yesterday in Bahrain's press conference:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q: &lt;/b&gt;Now for the last five seasons you’ve started the following season as World Champion. What changes does it make when you’re not World Champion? &lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MS:&lt;/b&gt; Not really much, honestly. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I have to walk a little bit further to my garage. That’s the only thing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://formula1.com/news/4062.html"&gt;More..&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Pretty lame answer it was. Perhaps you didn't find them funny, but the fact is, most F1 drivers are taciturn and boring. So if you like reading F1 news, you will find Schumi's ones more delicious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to take a nap now and check the timesheet of the first practice session later on.
