future

I was wondering, every now and then, whether to be in KL or BKK? Hard to choose eh? Yeah of course, being in BKK, I will earn more and have more freedom over there. No one cares whether I will die there or whatever vice activities I do, haha... In KL, I will have time with friends & close relatives.. well at least that is the thing that I need most.. hey its like choosing between an apple and an orange..

Ya there are some other things I have chosen as well.. chosen to let go of something and let things be.. maybe there are things that we cant foresee will happen, whether for good or bad.. its better this way as no one will have to endure and struggle so much.. no worries, no keeping oneself in the dark, no controversials, no bugging, no commitments, no aches, no waiting games.. well i get some of these point frm someone and now i knew of the meaning.. aint it just nice? hmm, maybe and maybe not..

well waiting for the right moment to decide and leave now.. hmm, when would be the best time? hafta do some detective & consultation work ady.. lets put it this way, might be end of this year, and nxt year, mustn't miss nxt year's Songkran.. even if im not in SL, mus fly to BKK for that special event.. let see how things go.. hehe :D

Munich (Film)

Yes Munich. This movie is relates us to the events of Munich Olympic Games in 1972 (if i remember correctly), where a group of Israeli athletes were taken hostage and killed by a group of Palestinian terrorist known as the Black September. About 11 Israeli athletes were massacred. This film depicts Avner, a former oficcer/bodyguard to the Israeli PM, is called to perform some 'duties' for his country, after the massacre. He leads a four member assination team to hunt and assasinate those who are responsible for the Munich killings. There are so called agreements that they are not working for the gov or Mossad (Israeli intelligence agency).

The first part of the film does really depicts the actual events of the killing, from the how the Palestinians get into the Olympic Village till the actual killings. Then the film proceeds to tell the tales of how the group of 5 hunts & assasinate those who are responsible for the massacre. It is a film, which make some sense and makes one wonder, when will the killing stop, what is home to those who are fighting this war, is killing & assasination justified. For every terrorist killed, there is another - possibly a worse one - waiting to take his place.

In the end, the story tells that Avner is paranoid about his and his familiy's safety. He even sleep in the closet, just as one of his fellow comrades recalls that his other colleague sleeps in the closet, for his safety..!! Overall the film is near to 3 hours and it does helps to kill some time in Thailand..

PC Fails Me

whoosh, what a day.. my freakin PC shuts down numerous times, more than 6 times today.. a few days before, it have already show it's signs. shutting down once a day, till today, it shuts the shit out of me for 6 times.. curse it...

worse still, i have to disassemble it and remove the HD and backup lotsa stuffs by attaching it to another PC.. with small form factor (mini-ATX), all the wires and peripherals are tightly cramped, having such a hard time removing just the HD... argggghhhh !*&@.. then re-assembling is just as tough as disassembling it..!!!

curse my clients for having such PC and giving me such 'wonderful' time to spend.. hope they will replace mine with a new AMD-64 PC... haha... the PC im using was used by Mr. Kiu and my ex-gf... so i guess it served all of us well and its time to retire that piece of crap.. crap crap crap.. i know my client will send it back to the factory and ask the manufacturer to fix it.. cheh, pray that they wont be able to fix it and jus gimme a brand new PC..

Car Techs...

Hm, nowadays we heard about clutchless cars, AMT, paddle shift (mind you, it comes from F1), CVT & etc.. but doubt u ever heard of Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG).. Well some of you may have heard about it.. Mind you, I myself aint sure what is it right until I read about it..

DSG is actually developed by Volkswagen Group.. It is very different from the rest, say clutchless drive as DSG offer dual clutches... The beauty of this system is that the driver does not operate the clutches, but the engine or computer will operate the clutches.. Its an ingenius idea, whereby 1st clutch is engage, the 2nd clutch is already running (pre-selected) and ready to engage.. For instance, while you are in 2nd gear, the 3rd gear is already running behind somewhere and when it shifts, you dont actually lost any power at all.. In short the transition from 2nd gear to the 3rd is smooth, effortless and pickup is very good (no time lag due to gear shifts)..

Currently, most of the cars we see today still runs on torque converters. Torque converters will cause power-loss & some jerks to a certain degree during gear shifts. This is where DSG comes into the picture, whereby it totally eliminates power-loss, but I am not sure if it does eliminates car jerks ^_^... But I am sure CVT eliminates jerks & offers fuel economy..

We can see that DSG is the way of all future cars, it may even eliminates manual shift sticks (manual gearbox) totally.. Ford, Mitsubishi, Volvo may develop their own DSG systems..
