Of random question and visa application

"Are you a fan of Street Fighter ?"

I declare this, the question of the day ! I was in the midst doing really serious, like my visa application, namely scheduling the interview and looking through the forms that had to be completed, when someone asked me this very random question while I was talking to her about the visa application process. I swear I nearly choked on the ice kacang that I was eating. Okay, that's an exaggeration and that wasn't the most appropriate time to have ice kacang; but still,
that question was way too random ! And why do guys have to fill up more forms than those homo sapiens with XX chromosomes ?

So, are you a fan ?

Missing puzzle ?

The truth is, finding that missing piece is no easy feat.

Hacked but not destroyed

Yes, INTI-Online was hacked ! A hacker known as the White Hat Kid hacked into the system and changed the header. 

The previous header.

After being hacked.

Log-in to your INTI Online account to check it out. 

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.

Of haha and prank calls

Time:Around 3 AM.
Status: Sleeping.

The tune of my ring tone broke the silence. Lazily, I reached out to my phone and looked at the screen. I noticed a name there, and answered the phone.

Me:Hello

Me:OMG ! It's 3 Am.

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.

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.
