The Konami Code.

Up , Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Enter.

Someone highlighted this to me. And I decided to share this with everyone. Apparently, there is a code known as the Konami Code, which gives some cool looking effects to a number of the web pages available, most notably: Facebook, Plurk and even Google Reader.

In Facebook, you'll see some bubbly effects.


The Konami Code will make your timeline in Plurk, move around like waves.

And also creates a ninja in Google Reader.

Leo Mission 3

During March, for all the good reasons, and because March is a truly wonderful month; I took part in the Leo Club's Leo Mission 3. It was my last semester in INTI-UC. With public speaking tutorials which comes almost weekly, a US history trial, and various other assignments, I had a very busy semester. I have been a member of the LEO Club in INTI-UC since my first semester there, but I could barely find the time to take part in any of their events, except the blood donation drives, which are organised, almost,once per semester.

So, for three Sunday afternoons , on the 8, 15 and 22 of March, I was a tutor for the kids from the House of Joy in Puchong. Actually, each of the tutors are assigned to a kid, whom, the tutor would focus on teaching. Like Edward, in the photo below.

Teaching kids, is not as easy as it seems. It requires more than the knowledge but a combination of various skills.

With a combination of determination, perseverance and creativity, hopefully, you would be able to reach out to the kid.

But, apparently, some people are adept in handling kids, while others would have to give more effort towards understanding the kids. What more to say, when one have to teach them.

A group photo in the bus.

And of course, the main character.

Being part of this event, meant less time spend on studying; but it was nevertheless a good experience, as you get to learn other lessons, not found in your everyday, academic text book.
In this endless march towards our own zenith point, sometimes, it's important to reflect and remember how lucky we are.

Soaring Wings

Having flown countless times on Airasia, since 2007, I have been following Airasia's growth as the company grabbed a bigger share of the world aviation market. Airasia has extended it's routes to include London, through it's franchise, Airasia -X. And I'm hoping that the company would spread it's wings, to include destinations such as the United States.

It's an open secret that with Dato' Tony Fernandez  at it's helm, Airasia has turned from a heavily-indebted airline to become an award winning and largest low cost carrier airline in Asia. A formidable force in the industry.

Check out an article by the New York Times, here.

On a different note, Julia's flying home from Newark Airport.Yes, the airport where the 21 year old student (who became Malaysia's first H1N1 patient ) flew from.  Let's hope she has a safe trip home.

Of laws and blogs.

Being a blogger, I decided that I would be better off if I'm aware of my legal rights.Thus,weeks ago, I went to University Malaya. Yes, the premier public university of the country. It was ranked in the Top 200 of the THE - QS World University Rankings by Times Higher Education in 2006.

A law conference regarding blogging and law was hosted there, and I decided to check it out.

The audience listening attentively as the speaker shares his insights. I shall not load this post with information or make it sound like a lecture, but I'll just roughly talk about the topics which the speakers touch on.

The speaker for the first topic is Mr. Foong Cheng Leong, a lawyer from Kuala Lumpur and a blogger himself.He touched on intellectual property and regulations related to it. His topic gave me some insights on the intellectual property rights; on areas which most people are unaware of, such as rights in registering domains, the owners of the copyright of the images.

Next, Mr. Nizam Bashir, a Malacca lawyer & blogger. He talked about defamation, something very relevant for the Malaysian society as the number of individuals being charged for defamation or sedition has increased significantly.

The event ended with a session for refreshment. Since it was a half day event , I decided to take the opportunity to visit a friend of mine at the university, after the event. We took a stroll around the campus, but the weather was getting unbearable. So, we ended up, hanging out at Mid Valley Megamall after that.

A Trip to Petaling Street

Two weeks ago, I took my maiden trip to Petaling Street.It's known as the China Town in Kuala Lumpur, although now, I see more foreigners than Chinese. And the area around there, have quite a number of shops selling soft toys. Yes, I have been around West Malaysia for so long, and I have not step foot to Petaling Street, until 2 weeks ago.

Petaling Street.

The drinks sold by this stall is a blast. There's a stall in MidValley Megamall, but the one sold at Petaling Street taste superb.

This is sold by a stall around that area. One of the best noodles I tasted around West Malaysia. Like seriously. Those of you who are familiar to the food around INTI-UC, Nilai, knows what I mean .

The free laptop.

If you remember this , you would have known that I have a new laptop. Right after my Chinese New Year break, I was greeted by this box when I went back to Nilai.Well, it wasn't delivered to my room. I had to go and collect it at the Accommodation Office, of course.

A bomb?

No, it's not a bomb. I have yet to become a target for terrorists to attack.So, inside the box, I found :

A box (in a box).

Genuine Microsoft Office
Even the disc looks nice.

A laptop bag.
