btw, this product is actually an LCD screen cleaner made in china. and btw, chinese people love to google-translate...

just for fun

dragon's collection of intel pentium logos

2009-07-20T22:53:00.016+08:00

Pentium® with MMX™ Technology &
Pentium® Pro
the very first pentium microprocessor (80586) with p5 architecture, which came out in 1993, did not have a logo.

the first logo for pentium brand was released when intel introduced the new "Pentium Processor with MMX Technology" or just "Pentium MMX" in 1996. the clock frequency of pentium mmx series varied from 66MHz to 300 MHz. the production line was cut down in 1999.

at the same time, intel also gave a logo to their high-end product series "Pentium Pro MMX Technology", which was based on a different p6 architechture. pentium pro series were clocked at 150Mhz to 200MHz respectively. the production started in 1995 and ended in 1998 when intel introduced the "pentium ii xeon" as the replacement for high-end processors.

Pentium® II
later in 1997, intel introduced the "Pentium II" processor. the logo wasn't very different from the previous pentium's. however, the name "pentium" had become famous by then. pentium ii processors ran at the clock of 233MHz to 450MHz. it was replaced by the pentium iii series.

Pentium® III &
Mobile Pentium® III - M
with the new SSE instruction set added in, intel renamed the new mainstream desktop processors as "Pentium III". it was one of the most successful pentium series in intel's history. the production started in 1998 and ended unexpectedly in 2001. it has a variation of speeds from 450MHz to 1.4GHz.

during that period, laptop computers started to become popular and there was a high demand of low power-comsuming processor; as a result, intel created "Mobile Intel Pentium III-M" brand.

Pentium® 4 ,

Mobile Pentium® 4 - M,

Pentium® 4 supporting Hyper-Threading Technology &

Pentium® 4 Extreme Edition

intel made their biggest mistake ever in 2001. they introduced the "Pentium 4" processor with the brand new netburst architecture and promised that it would be much better than the previous pentium iii. however, all kinds of benchmark testing and user reviews had proved them wrong. the earliest pentium 4 processors with socket-423 interface performed way worse than the latest pemtium iii; plus it required the very expensive Rambus DRAM. customers continued to look for pentium iii, so that intel had to cut down the pentium iii in order to push pentium 4.

some years later intel realized their mistake and stepped back to pentium iii. but of course they can't use the name pentium iii again. guess what it became?

follow intel's tradition, the pentium 4 series also had a individual production line for laptop computers; the name was "Pentium 4-M". soon intel noticed that the stupid netburst architecture cannot avoid but to comsume a lot of energy & produce a lot of heat. they then replaced the pentium 4-m with the famous "pentium m" in 2003.

meanwhile the drama of pentium 4 on desktop platform went on. intel added in the "hyper-threading" technology into the pentium 4 processors, and they funnily put the two letter HT into the original pentium 4 logo. there we have another logo for the "Pentium 4 with Hyper-Threading Technology" or simply, Pentium 4 HT.

to compete with AMD's Athlon 64 FX, intel rushed out another funny version of pentium 4, with incredibly high frequency and doubled L2 cache. not to mention about the performance, any way, the name was "Pentium 4 Extreme Edition", or sometimes, Pentium 4 EE.

pentium 4 series was ended in 2008. its frequency vary from 1.3GHz to the crazy 3.8GHz. some of the later ones even supported 64bit processing. however it's super high frequency did bring up its performance due to it's low effeciency.

2006 new logos:

Pentium® M

in 2006, intel came up with the new logos for all its still active production lines. so what happened to the Pentium 4-M? as i mentioned just now, it was replaced by "Pentium M" in 2003. intel finally stopped using numbers to name different series of pentium processor. the letter "M" stands for "mobile". and in fact, from pentium m, intel began to abandon the non-effecient netburst architecture and started all over again from pentium iii. the pentium m ran at a much lower clock frenquency (from 900MHz to 2.26GHz) but was way faster than pentium 4. together the "Centrino" technology, pentium m had become the most successful mobile processor in history. in 2008, pentium m was replaced by "core" series and "atom" series.

original logo:

2006 new logo:

Pentium® D &

Pentium® Extreme Edition

while pentium m was gaining huge success in mobile market, intel's desktop processors remained in disasters. high power comsumption and low effeciency stopped intel from increasing the pentium 4's clock frequency. but intel had another idea: instead of raising the frequency of one processor, they increased the number of processors. "Pentium D", that's how the trend of dual-core processor started. the pentium D processor started in 2005 with 2.66GHz and ended in 2008 with 3.73GHz.

same as pentium 4, it also had a extreme edition "Pentium Extreme Edition", or Pentium XE. Later, it was replaced by "Core 2" series.

original logos:

2006 new logos:

Pentium® Dual-Core

after intel successfully introduced the pentium-m based "Core 2" series, pentium was used as a simplified version of core 2, like how celeron used to be the simplified version of the previous pentium. the dual core pentium was no more "pentium D" but "Pentium Dual-Core".

Intel® Pentium® Processor Family

the "pentium dual-core" brand didn't keep its logo for long. in 2008 intel assigned a family logo for all pentium series processors, including pentium iii, pentium 4, pentium m, pentium D & the new pentium dual-core. soon in 2009, followed by the releasing of core series new logos, a horizontal version of the pentium family logo was also introduced. the new pentium dual-core produced in mid 2009 will be given the horizontal logo instead.

2009 new logo:

dragon's computer gets o.c. to max

2009-05-13T01:14:00.004+08:00

i assembled my beloved computer in 2007 june holiday, after dismantling the previous athlon 900 desktop & a toshiba laptop bought in year 2001.

i had only 1k budget from dad, and out of 250 bucks goes to the 17' LCD monitor. so, a core 2 duo e4300 processor, asus P965 motherboard, 1GB DDR2-667 RAM and an nVidia 8500GT graphic card & a coolermaster steel chassis seemed to the the best combination based on the budget.

people kept telling me i made the wrong choice cuz 1k was enough to get faster stuff, such as e6300 and 8600GT if i would pick a lower-end motherboard and aluminium alloy chassis.

i wouldn't do that. it's short sighted. i knew what exactly i was doing.

now, time to give 'em sorry thoughts:

step 1: a few days ago, when RAM price dropped to the bottom, i got another 1GB module for just 20 bucks. 2 modules of RAM work in pair to build up a symmetrical dual channel giving double bandwidth. people who bought 2GB RAM in one module and lower-end motherboard two years ago can't do the same thing as me (their MB doesn't recognize RAM larger than 3GB).

step 2: in the CMOS configuration i forced the processor to pace with 333MHz external clock instead of the default 200MHz. in order to keep it stable, i turned off the C1E & speedstep energy saving functions and increased the core voltage by 0.075V. then i lock the PCI-E bus clock at 101MHz and PCI bus at 33.33MHz. now the e4300 is working stably at 3GHz instead of the original 1.8GHz with the 1333MHz FSB bandwidth. E6xx0 series have no o.c. potential because their external clock is already very high; even if they do, lower-end motherboards with insufficient FSB bandwidth would become a bottle neck to the performance.

step 3: my RAM was bought with guidance from some hardware guru, i picked the best ones by the chipset serial number. though they were labeled as DDR2-667 (333MHz), but they can be easily o.c. to 400MHz and become DDR2-800. however when the FSB:DRAM ratio is 4:5, i have to make it run even faster, i.e. 418MHz.

overclocking a processor by 66% with no extra hydro-cooling system or liquid nitrogen or any additional expenditure in o.c. devices - all because i chose a quality motherboard and a liable chassis. only dragon does it. now my computer has caught up with the 2009 standard.

p.s. to those who suggested me to buy e6300, find a corner and kick your own balls.

since the personality test says i'm an art guy, i went to apply for the school of art, design & media under nanyang technological university. when they asked me to submit 20 pieces of portfolio, i gave them 19 pcs of my photographs and 1 video developed during my jc times. next they asked me to write an essay to explain why i should be accepted, then i wrote cuz they rest all suck so they should just choose someone good which is like, me. and then they wanted me to do a damn ridiculous assignment which requires paper cut, writing poems and drawing, i really got pissed off. so i gave them literately rubbish this time.

the drawing question says, imagine i'm standing on a road; there's someone positioned near to me, and someone else far away with an dog; showing sketches of architecture would be preferred...

and here is my sketching:

the words below the guy's ass: "*tips* in singapore, place tissue paper on tables to reserve seats."

now let go ur jaws. c'mon...

2009-03-21T02:50:00.004+08:00

u heard that? dragon is back. yes dragon the singer is back!

2 weeks ago i went to chang yuan's home studio to check out his new guns. it was so damn nice to see his dual-display mac recording system. i did not go there for nothing; of course i went with proper preparation. i'd been learning the guitar for the super emotional ballad song "more than words" by the extreme since last august. and that day chang yuan & i managed to get it recorded.

well... i'm just lazy to describe the process of recording. now hear the this and keep your mouth shut.

mee dragon

2008-11-12T16:50:00.005+08:00

the next time you go to simpang bedok, they will have some new offers for you, like this one, 'mee dragon'!!! hahaz, just kidding.

but seriously, udbhav's mom completely forgot about my existence and did not cook anything since morning. when she saw me lying on the mat like dying, she shocked herself saying 'oh my goodness, you're at home!?? have you eaten anything or not?!!' hahaz...

i told her that i was okay. then i walked down to the kitchen and managed to dig out something from the fidge: there were some raw chicken nuggets, frozen ham and frozen wedges, some packets of instant noodles... actually i was thinking of frying some eggs or just to have some left-over roti, but mom's making egg curry tonight; i don't want to have too many eggs! so i started the fire and boiled some oil and dumped whatever edible stuff into the frying pan... on the other side, i boiled water and cooked one packet of mee goreng. while things are getting cooked i had a small piece of ben&jerry's ice-cream - nice!

come on look at it, yes look at it!!! dang dang dang dang!!! mee goreng with fried ham + wedges + chiken nuggets - yummy! plus, i shall name it after myself - mee dragon. (or should it be dragon mee? let me see, mee goreng, hokkien mee... hahaz never mind...)

i swear frying stuff would scare the shit out of you. all u can do is to shout 'oh mama i got burned!!!' so DON'T TRY! if you feel hungry, just come to my stall and say 'uncle, i want mee dragon!' HAHAHAHAHAHAHAZ!!!

bonie the dancer

2008-11-07T17:29:00.004+08:00

i just accidentally found this cool website called roxik/pictaps - wad u can do in there is to make your own animation. it's simple: just design and paint ur own cartoon character there, use the canvas to define the head, torse, hip, legs and arms, then name ur animation and save it.

here's my work, it's a dancing skeleton. i named it 'bonie'. yes! bonie the dancer! what? for some stupid reason, the skull has gone missing. (dun ask me why)

u can enter the web and view the full version of my bonie
http://roxik.com/pictaps/?pid=a1762233

come, get ur own dancer and challenge my bonie!

ah-beng's life

2008-09-20T18:10:00.002+08:00

pardon me, i just want to be lame today. i found this article on newspaper last week. haha... is it talking about me?

actuall, this is my life:

waking up in the morning on a weekend and realizing that nobody else in the house eats breakfast. then i have to make something myself or otherwise i have to starve the whole morning. normally, i can make some bread and butter with cheese, and find some milk in the fridge.

udbhav's mom bought a lot of instant noodles home for me, in case i feel hungry when it is not dinning time for them yet. and of course i won't just cook the noodles alone; i would like to add a lot of vegetables, hotdogs and a raw egg into the soup. the mom cooks damn nice indian food actually, it's just that when there comes the dinner, i always realize 'oh shit, i just had noodles like 2 hours ago!' apparently my bio-clock hasn't adjusted to the new delhi timing yet.

ok. say 'boyakasha'.

"the lonely sentry"

2008-08-31T00:57:00.005+08:00

the other day i posted a very short chinese song didn't i? that wasn't really nice indeed, especially the guitar. i realized that i can't play the chop (muted) sound properly. gonna train harder for that next time.

and today i recorded one more song, titled "孤獨的夜哨" means "the lonely sentry". the lyrics is about a guy in national service guarding some disputed island in the south china sea and being worried about his lover. quite cool rite?

is it much better than the previous one?

i like my exaggerated performance in front of the webcam... hahax!

"boom-de-yadda!"

2008-08-27T01:17:00.006+08:00

yay! yay! i really love home stay. for one simple reason - there's cable tv. i can watch my favourite discovery HD 24 seven provided if there's no school...

and just one week ago discovery came out with this super cute commercial. i'd say i'm so gonna recommend it to my friends! now let's all say together "BOOM-DE-YADDA!!!"

pause my singing before you play the video clip

but too bad, mr crocodile is not more... i miss his show, as part of my shortest-ever childhood, really.

never mind. oh yar... shall attach the lyrics of the song below:

i love the world

(dialogue)
it never gets old, huh?
nope.
it kinda makes you wanna...
break into song?
yup.

(singing)
i love the mountains
i love the clear blue skies
i love big bridges
i love when great whites fly
i love the whole world
and all its sights and sounds
boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda (twice)
i love the oceans
i love real dirty things
i love to go fast
i love Egyptian kings
i love the whole world
and all its craziness
boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda (twice)
i love tornadoes
i love arachnids
i love hot magma
i love the giant squids
i love the whole world
it's such a brilliant place
boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda...
boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda...

bei jing huan ying ni!

2008-08-20T20:53:00.002+08:00

having bad impression about the 7 years' preparation for beijing olympics, i didn't expect that it could be so successful. At least not a single country has boycotted.

and just after being shocked by the wonderful awesome gorgeous opening ceremony on the 08/08/08, my room mate, udbhav's parents received the most wanted gift ever!

wow, look at that!

it's the whole collection of the 5 mascots of beijing olympics, bei bei, jing jing, huan huan, ying ying and ni ni!!!

guess it's from who? my mum, actually.

this family is seriously ethusiastic about olympic games. we watched men's 100m final together two days ago; usain bolt was awesome man!

my room mate's dad is planning to put the bei bei, jing jing, huan huan, ying ying and ni ni at the back of his car. hahax, that's gonna be cool man!

talk about water

2008-08-11T18:49:00.002+08:00

remember the stupid "watercoulours project"? actually, i took more than one photo for that project. in the end, teacher chose the one of a droplet colliding into water, which i don't think is the best at all...

luckily, before they deleted them from the photography room computer, i retrieved them using a thumbdrive.

have a look:

"Galaxy" - water droplets on glass

"Ocean" - water droplets on glass

"Untitled" - Water from water cooler

yeah, i'm sure you like them. you'll never drag them into recycle bin even if you don't have a brain.

"watercolours project"

2008-08-01T17:26:00.006+08:00

i was doing this for my college's open house last month. the theme name was "watercolours". ms yap asked me to take some photos for the theme.

the hell knows how to take photos of watercolours. so i said i could try take some shots of water, but not watercolours. then i was given a nikon d70s and some water.

in the beginning i was thinking of snapping an ink droplet diffuses into stirred water... but my college couldn't even provide a completely transparent container! i looked around in the photography room... fuck, there was only a 6 inches lunchbox!!!

i was damn pissed off. i was saying something like "want me to take some nice shots huh? then you should give me appropriate equipment!" seriously, it was like with no sperm but you want to get pregnant.

so i filled the lunchbox with water and started thinking about what to take. after observing for a while, i came up with this awesome idea in my mind! so i asked my junior to keep dripping water into the container and i was trying to take the moment when the droplet collides with the water surface.

200mm micro lens; shutterspeed 1/400, priority over aperture; iso 400; customized white balance... while the fellow was dripping the water into the lunchbox, i kept taking multiple shots. i took about 20 pieces each round... and repeated doing the same thing for like 4 rounds... in the end, i picked one of the best shots and submitted it to ms yap.

so there's a photo of water. and she was asking "how about the 'colour'?" i really really didn't know how, so i suggested her to use photoshop or any other software to change the colour tone.

you know what happened late? i saw a outside photography instructor and one of our art teachers came into to the room and started to discuss about how they were gonna change the colour tone... surprisingly, the final product was not bad!

i don't know why. it reminds me of the mao tze-tung painting with multi-coloured faces...

da shirt - part ii

2008-08-01T16:34:00.002+08:00

me said we were gonna wear the new polo tee on friday. and yes, today is friday!

see my class mate, leonard!

he was still posing 1 minute after i took the picture, asking "are you done?"

sorry. i didn't hear... XD

da shirt

"seriously. teach your kids all the right things. don't just ask for everything. do something yourself." - dragon

allo! and... vassup?! hey... today we shall admire the greatest polo tee designer in the spicies.
he designed the nicest polo tee ever for his cca - film and photography society of tampines junior college. take a look at these pictures:

aight, what ya thinking? not bad huh? unlike any other school t-shirts, the faps tee doesn't have a single picture on it. you know why? dude, we are photographers; we take pictures and print them on photo paper, not on shirts. cheng hung said, "simplicity is cool". agree? look at the shirt, just look at it! you'll love it more than i do. can you see the white extensions at the collar and the sleeves? ach ja! he made special request on that part!

emmm... you'll see how cool we are on the coming friday.

guess who's the designer?

"we need a sitar... double neck actually"

2008-07-27T15:53:00.004+08:00

hey wassup!

gonna chat about something cool today. you know what's a sitar? a sitar... not guitar? ait, a sitar is a south asian musical instrument. i'm sure you saw it before.

in mike myers' new film "the love guru", the stupid guru was playing a sitar all the time. the funniest thing is, he can perform "more than words" with the sitar!!! and it's officially included in "the love guru" soundtrack.

have you heard of electric sitars? yes, surely, there are.

but have you heard of double-necked electric sitars? no? i understand it's hard to believe but... yes, there is one and only one double-necked electric sitar in the world. the guru was playing with it at the end of the whole film, and jessica alba was dancing like a bolywood girl!!! lmao!!!

cool isn't it? muahahahahahax... double-necked sitar... i laughed until i cried... i was so curious to find out whether double-necked sitar really exist. hahahax! you know what? i managed to find an article on the net which is about the making of this very unique sitar. it's on 12fret ( a very famous customized guitar shop ) website. it says one day they received a phone call, saying "we need a sitar... double neck actually... with humbucking pickups and floyd rose bridge... and it all has to function properly." and of course, the call is from mike myers. gawsh! you know what humbuckers and floyd rose tremolo are? have a look at this picture and you'll know. they are gears for those fuckin expensive electric guitars!

and there's this website called "guru pitka will teach you sitar"... it recommends guru pitka's myspace web page and teach people all kinds of yoga poses which appeared in the film... hell knows if they are real.

by the way, justin timberlake acts as "le coq" (sounds like "the cock"), a french hocky goal keeper. it's like a playboy acting as another playboy...

boyakasha. double-necked sitar... muahahahahahax...

ain't getting drunk

2008-07-26T16:06:00.008+08:00

yeah man! me and my friend went to tampines mall yesterday. he said he wanted to have some drink. but dude, we were in school uniform! the stupid cheers shop sold us a large can of carlsberg without checking our ic! the other customers were all staringat the two of us, like how we stared at them when they bought condoms or maxims...

but heck cares! we were drinking it on the road right in the centre of tampines! cold carlsberg was freakin cool. then i told my friend that tiger sux cuz it has the durian taste.... then slowly i started to recall the last time i drank in a bar...

it was in winter, when everybody breathe with vapour coming out from the mouth. the bar was seriously polluted by cigarettes. which bar isn't? then me and my friend was sitting at the table playing with dyes and poker cards. we ordered a bottle of chivas regal 12. we mix it with iced lemon tea in a jar and slowly divide it into small glasses... see the picture? damn cool isn't it?

but why adding in iced lemon tea? dude, you're not gonna drink chivas whisky plain! trust me you don't wanna do that. you'll get drunk before you finish 1/4 of it. chivas official website has about 20 classic serves of this whisky. you can check it out if you're really into it.

i miss chivas... but i ain't getting it anywhere in singapore...

some studies on money

2008-07-24T20:52:00.006+08:00

taiwan is famous for its music industries. millions of young ppl go crazy for taiwanese music. jay chow, jolin tsai, f.i.r... are all from taiwan.

Q. guess what's the full name of taiwan?
a) the republic of taiwan
b) the united states of taiwan
c) the federation of taiwan
d) none of above

A. d)

well, you are stunned. but the official name of taiwan is called "the repuclic of china".

so how many chinas are there in the world? well, you can say there are 2. republic of china & people's republic of china; the former is aka taiwan, the other is the china, mainland.

but the united nation recognize only one china government - 30 years ago, republic of china; and later replaced by the p.r. china...

for historical reasons, it's very difficult for ppl from these two countries to travel to the other sides. but surprisingly, i managed to collect currencies from both chinas!

thanks to chu feng, my gp class mate. i used RMB25.00 (CN) to change her NTD100.00 (TW) note.
have a look at this picture!!!

cool isnt it? both taiwan and china money are there on my table!!!

after observing them for the whole afternoon, i found out a lot of interesting differences between the two currencies:
1/ rmb has mao tze-tung's face on it; ntd has sun yat-sen's face instead. they were the founders of the two countries.
2/ rmb is printed with simplified chinese characters; ntd is printed in traditional chinese characters.
3/ the smallest notes of rmb is 1 dollar (SGD 0.20); ntd has only 100 dollars (SGD 5.00)

100 dollar? what if i lose a ntd50.00 coin? i'll get traumatized...

2nd person point of view

2008-07-21T13:55:00.015+08:00

last december, cheng hung lost his wallet somewhere in johor. then he wrote a short passage about his sad experience. i still remember it because it was written in "2nd person point of view". well, you must be asking how an article can be written in 2nd person point of view... i shall teach you how now.

think about it: when you play computer games, there are only 1st person (eg. counter-strike) and 3rd person(eg. tomb raider). when you read books, there are only 1st person narration (when the author calls the main character 'i') and 3rd person narration(when the main man is called 'he' or 'she'). so what is 2nd person's view?

wikipedia says in 2nd person point of view, the main man is called 'you'. but i don't think it's a perfect definition.

say if i am writing a letter to someone, of course, i have to call the recipient 'you'. is it really 2nd person? no, because i'm the one who's talking to the recipient, so the subject here is still 'i'.

my conclusion is: to build up a 2nd person point of view's environment, two boolean variables must be true: 1/ the main character must be 'you'; 2/ the 'you' must be the author himself.

sounds too philosophical? just try think about it. it's cool...

here's an example

You are not the kind of guy who would be at a place like this at this time of the morning. But here you are, and you cannot say that the terrain is entirely unfamiliar, although the details are fuzzy. You are at a nightclub talking to a girl with a shaved head. The club is either Heartbreak or the Lizard lounge. All might come clear if you could just slip into the bathroom and do a little more Bolivian Marching Powder. —Opening lines of Jay McInerney's Bright Lights, Big City (August 12, 1984)

cool shit... like you are really seeing everything the using the author's eyes...

not-so-homeless boy

2008-07-16T23:43:00.006+08:00

guess what? i moved out from the hostel and settled in my friend's house.
he's none other than udbhav sahai, my computing class mate.

(taken in june 2007, changi naval base)

i brought only my clothes and school stuff over to his house. it was a double storey apartment with awesome views at the balcony. everything's just perfect here: direct buses to school; 5 minutes walk to simei or tampines; airconditioned study room with 2 computers having fast internet access; and extremely delicious indian food. oops... didn't i mention that udbhav is a indian? and certainly, the dad and mom here are super nice people to me - every 2 hours, auntie will keep asking if i feel hungry; uncle gives me a lot of encouragement to face all knids of life challenges through having conversation. surely i will miss this place after i'm gone.

so far i don't really much photos of the house. but for this particular object, i won't miss a chance to snap a picture of it. dude~ it's a jazz guitar!!! udbhav's family friend left it here. i played it every day when the parents were not at home, until yesterday, uncle said 'yes, you can use that'... hahax. i can slowly forget about the acoustic guitar from jade...

my classmates taught me the chorus part of the super nice song 'belaian jiwa'. and i managed to find the guitar tabs online. i'm gonna be the first chinese chinese who can sing a malay love song with a guitar!

fernando sucre

2008-07-08T16:15:00.008+08:00

if you have watched the prison break series, you should remember this stupid guy named fernando sucre. he was an spanish speaking immigrant from puerto rico. he was set out by his cousin, hector, and was jailed. he became michael scofield's cell mate in fox river penitentiary. he had a few more months' jail but his girl friend became impatient and was disturbed by hector. so he decided to break out with michael.

yes, how stupid he was! he wasn't as smart as michael; he wasn't as sly as t-bag; he wasn't as lucky as c-note... his airplane was forced to land in desert; the cars he stole always ran out of petrol; he's always blackmailed by others; he got seriously injured and almost died... but i still admire him cuz he gave up everything and betrayed everyone for the one he truly loves. passion? he didn't even know how to pronounce the word 'passion', remember?

surely i'm not the only one who praises sucre. remember the old mexican fellow who invited sucre to stay in his house? knowing that sucre has stolen his car, he still gave him a lot of money for escaping. sucre is a good guy, no doubts! (today's society is definitely not for good guys though)

ait. that was a short introduction of our main man. now, here is the quote of today by fernando sucre:
"no, he's not just a friend. i know hector. i know men. i know women. i know women and men can't be friends. a guy doesn't drive a girl five hundred miles across the state line because he wants to be friends." - season 1 episode 1

it doesn't sound good to most of u. i know. but it makes sense, or at least, to me. romance and passion are just words decorated with imagination; they make people blind.

love, is the real thing.

share the spirit of ubuntu!

2008-06-17T12:48:00.004+08:00

boyakasha! you'll never know microsoft sucks unless you try anything non-microsoft. yes, i know you are using microsoft windows on ur pc right now! and yeah you must be asking what the hell i am talking about; i sound like there's something else other than microsoft???

you mean you seriously don't know? have you heard of Linux?

linux, pronounced as / 'leenaks / is a open-source softeware, and of course it's an operating system!!! because it's open-source, anyone can modify and redistribute it; and that's why there are a lot of versions of linux... the famous ones, like red hat enterprise linux, fedora, lindows etc... but those fuckers sell them as goods; and they charge money; in the end, open-source did not benefit the people at all... and stupid people like us follow the trend and stick onto microsoft...

do you know that the united nations has this aid program to help africa manufacture computers that is less than US$100? but in the end they realize it's impossible... because operating systems like microsoft windows xp costs a few hundred dollars per copy. until one day, someone created UBUNTU!!! yeah! it's completely free!

ubuntu is a project under the company called Canonical Ltd. those guys are amazing, besides making this software for free, they also provide FREE DELIVERY!!! so yar... 5 weeks ago i made my request on utunbu's official website...

this morning i woke hearing someone knocking at my door. when i opened the door, i saw this super cute parcel on my floor!!!
and yes! it's from Canonical Ltd located in Isle of Man (a british oversea territory)!!! they forwarded my request to the shipment company in the netherlands and after a 5 weeks transport, it arrived at my door!!! woooh!!!
there's my ubuntu in the parcel!!!
hope u can see the words printed at the back of the package:
it says, "ubuntu is a software libre. you are encouraged and legally entitled to copy, reinstall, modify, and redistribute this cd for yourself and your friends. share the spirit of ubuntu!"

and i managed to find the meaning of "ubuntu". it's an african word meaning 'humanity to others', or 'i am what i am because of who we all are'.

i have some more african language here:
ubuntu nakupenda wewe! ubuntu tuna tuka wewe!
anyone knows the meaning?

sing a better song

2008-06-13T00:28:00.006+08:00

you are recommended to increase the playback volume for this song.
Love Will Keep Us Alive [Band] - Longyin
i know it's the third time i recorded "love will keep us alive". the first time was last year, with minh's help, when i hardly memorized the lyrics. then the second time was in beijing, PTR studio; uncle wang helped me recorded a demo with guitar. how about this time?

yeah man! it was done at home... in just one day! i didn't even go to chang yuan's house this time. coz i realized that recording can be done using $10 microphone as well. And... instead of using Audacity, i chose adobe audition 3.0! it's not any worse than cubase sx 3 or even pro tools. btw, i must mention about guitar pro 5.2 again; i used it to make the drum beats, bass and electric guitar sound.

can you see the microphone i used? hahax...

and below is the guitar that i borrow from jade! and the monitor earphone from cheng hung!

p.s. the earphone was only for recording because the playback is not supposed to go back into the mic again... during the mastering, i used 2.0 loudspeakers...

i don't want to say it sounds great coz you know the equipment that i have... and any way it was just for fun. the stereo effect was screwed up (you would feel a little dizzy with the guitar sound)... uncle wang didn't teach me a single thing about mixing last december...

here is the whole process of making an simple recording at home. continue if you are really interested.

01/ find proper background music. if not, make your own one with software like guitar pro or reason. bounce every single instrument into different tracks.

02/ run software like cubase, adobe audition or audacity. import all the tracks made in step 01.

03/ adjust the volume. wear earphone. record the guitar or whatever instruments that u have.

04/ record the main vocals.

05/ record the harmonic vocals.

06/ apply equalizers onto tracks and set the stereo panning positions.

07/ apply hard limiter and reverb onto master.

* if you are using a mac, u can do all the jobs using garageband.

remember to send me your songs when you have done one. cya!

fell in love with malacca

2008-06-09T20:25:00.008+08:00

thousands of people came all the way from china to southeast-asia hundreds of years ago. many of them eventually settled in the peninsular of malaya. i was wondering why they picked this piece of land out all places on the earth... i planned a journey to malaysia and wished that i could find an answer...

with this piece of colour sticker on my passport, i started my trip. (for your info, it's called a visa)

4 june 2008, 1030h, i met sakuramoto kenji, the jap guy at woodland mrt station. we took bus 170 to the check point. the immigration officer scanned my finger prints and compare it with mas selamat's and then let me go off... later, i saw "selamat datang malaysia". then i was confused why they scanned my finger prints...

later kenji and me walked around in the city of johor bahru. it was such a great feeling getting out of singapore! it was a totally different society in there... i saw littering, jaywalking, graffiti everywhere; people sold pirated dvds, fake nike & adidas, sexual enhancement pills right beside the streets... fuckin awesome! it reminded me of the movie "babel", when amelia and her nephew drove from usa to mexico... i told kenji that i felt good. he asked my take care of my wallet... later we had lunch in a coffee shop, it was mee goreng... i regreted saying that mee goreng from simpang bedok was good...

then kenji brought me to larkin bus station. i bought my ticket to kuala lumpur with only rm25.00 (same thing cost SGD32.00 in singapore). kenji went off.

it was the best bus ride in my life. i loved to see countless oil palms stretching into infinitely far far away... tropical jungles with stems dangling around, and beautiful outlines of mountains camouflaged in the colour of the clouds...

1830h, the bus terminated at kuala lumpur, puduraya station. cheng hung fetched me from there. i rested at his house somewhere in kepong...

5 june 2008, 0930h, cheng hung's mom drove us to a nearby tea restaurant for breakfast. they bought me wantan mee, sia lah... i couldn't stop swallowing the noodles! the school canteen's wantan mee can go eat shit...

then cheng hung brought me into kuala lumpur city and walked around. nothing special actually. it's just a hybrid cluster to me. a combination of traditional asian civilization with the pride of oil billionaires. i didn't like it...

later in the shopping mall under the klcc twins towers (look like two bars of corns), cheng hung treated me guilinggao (the jelly made of herbals & turtle shell)... it was bitter like hell... but surprisingly my face didn't grow a pimple for a whole week... btw... cantoneese sounds cool to me.

i told cheng hung that sorry i didn't like kuala lumpur. so his family brought me to puduraya and managed to get me a bus ticket to malacca. it was an illegal bus. any way, at about 2330h it dropped me at the correct destination, melaka sentral. amanda and her mom and uncle ong were there waiting for me. we drove all the way to a kampung - where amanda's house were located... i slept like a pig... i loved the kampung smell...
6 june 2008, 1000h, amanda and her mom & uncle ong and michelle took me into the town and had roti canai as breakfast. then amanda's mom dropped us in some super old street with super old buildings. amanda and michelle became my local tour guide. it was really testing their patience, i know... malacca was such a wonderful place... and i "didn't miss a single corner" (quoted from amanda's blog)... i felt like being in the 17th century walking on those streets...
i was amazed to see ppl in a tourist site can still live as usual... pace of living was as slow as tango... it was fabulous... (people in singapore are busy like monkeys)

amanda recommended me this dessert called cendol. it was selling in front of the red house... yeah man... don't mention about ice-cream any more.

the lunch was at the chicken rice ball restaurant opposite ocbc bank. and of course we had chicken rice ball!
it was amanda and michelle's nightmare... i visited so many museums in one shot... "guys at my age should not be interested in historical stuff..." sorry lah... but that's what malacca is famous for... sultanate of melaka, han li-poh, cheng ho, the portuguese, the dutch, the british, japanese invasion, independence... hahax, see? i've learned a lot! can i say i'm half a malaccan now?

there were two portuguese street singers performing at the top of st. paul's hill. they sang english, cantonese, hokkien and malay songs; they played right-handed guitars left-handed. power sia!!! the performance was great... it gave them all the changes in my wallet... respek!!!

1930h, the chongs & the ongs treated me claypot chicken rice. trust me, it's 100 times better than any other chicken rice!

at night, the chongs & the ongs brought me to ktv to sing karaoke... hahax, time to show off again... i sang until voiceless... amanda's mom and uncle ong were very glad that i could sing old songs... hahax! and there was legal beer to drink!!!

while aunties and uncles were singing... the metta school kids were busy taking photos...

we sang until 7 june 2008, 0200h. then we drove to some restaurant in the kampung to have supper. i ordered mee goreng again... but this one was the best in the whole world!!! it was super spicy and hot, i ate until smoke came out from my ears! sedap!!!

again, i slept like a pig... and the kampung smell... best sleep ever...

we woke up at 1100h and went to eat bak kut teh in the town... i hate the stupid school canteen bak kut teh... that's purely garlic soup! the melaka one is the real thing!!!

amanda and i went back to a-famosa to take this picture... the stupid photographer chopped off the top of the building... by the way, a-famosa was built by the portuguese; the dutch or is it the british bombed the whole place... then the kind hearted and diligent amanda accompanied me all the way to the sultanate palace and the memorial of independence or whatever... she 's a very good malaccan; she could tell the story how malacca got its name...

lunch was the malacca's most famous laksa. cool shit... almost beat my favourite singapore katong laksa...

uncle ong brought me to bukit cina in the afternoon. amanda was scared of mosquitoes and decided to rot in the car... i followed uncle ong climbing all the way to the top of the hill. uncle ong breathed heavily after the hike... from the plateau we could see the whole of malacca town... it was beautiful! i cant find an appropriate word to describe it... or should i say it's like a paradise? uncle ong told me that he used to play truant and hide on the hill when he was young... he said it's the last piece of chinese resort in the town. he then brought me to the sam po kong temple and the memorial of chinese victims during japanese invasion. "do the chinese people in china consider the oversea chinese real chinese?" he asked me... i didn't know how to answer him...
i joined the chongs' family dinner at night. amanda's mother, brother, grandfather and all her uncles and aunties and cousins were all there.

after that was supper. we ate the town's most famous satay celup. it reminded me of the mah-lah huo-guo in chongqing... i rated it as the no.1 food in malacca! hahax!

and again, i slept like a pig... kampung smell... satay celup smell... the malaccan smell... so nice...

8 june 2008, 1030. the chongs gathered at cheng hoon teng temple and had some sort of ceremony for amanda's grandmother... i stared at the smoke of burning incense and the dust of bank-of-heaven-currency in the air... i realized it's come to the end of my journey, but i still haven't found my answer. i don't know why the ancestors chose to stay in this place, but eventually, after their super hard work with blood and sweat, they built there a paradise... we are just everywhere in the world; malacca, singapore, san fransisco... they are the real chinese people, more real than the chinese in china (the cultural revolution made the china chinese mad)... i truly respek them yo!

terima kasih melaka!

and terima kasih, malaccans...

there is no spoon

2008-05-27T14:22:00.008+08:00

the year of 1999 was believed to be the doom of world. however the mighty nature, or god, or whoever you think it is, changed his plan last minute. instead of freezing, burning or vaporizing the earth, he decided to let us die slowly. that's why you see civil wars, pollution, tsunami, earthquake and exams all over the world.

the year of 1999 was also believed to be the doom of computers. they believed that all computers will break down at the last microsecond of 1999 because the coming 2000 can only be represented by 00 which clashes with 1900. it was known as the "millennium bug" or "y2k bug". people were concerned and actions were taken; the y2k bug didn't take place.

and we still see humans and computers around.

there was a movie which talked about the relation between humans and machines. it's called the matrix. it gave us an idea that humans created machines to be their slaves; and as machines are integrated with more and more intelligence, they will eventually enslave humans. besides the well-known matrix trilogy, warner brothers also came out with a side project called "animatrix", meaning "animated matrix". the whole idea of having the matrix and animatrix is to show how possible it is for us to be enslaved by machines.

i believe in matrix. i love the movie so much. i memorized most of the scripts of the movie.

here are some interesting quotes:

"the matrix has you." - trinity
it tells us the nature of matrix. however, to most us, it has the same effect as "i was captured by aliens."

"follow the white rabbit!" - trinity
trinity asks neo to follow the gal with a white rabbit tattoo. then neo meets trinity. and then neo got into trouble with agents... i think it's talking about about not to have sex, coz sex can lead to nasty consequences like... relationship? make sense?

"jesus christ, that thing's real?!" - neo
i said the same thing when i was in kindergarten. i peed my bed when i dreamed there was a toilet bowl in front of me...

"welcome to the real world." - morpheus
the difficulty is we cant tell if we are in the real world. then morpheus added:
"what is real? how do you define 'real'?"
knowing that there is a real world, but pretending not to believe it; or being fucked up in life, and believing in a "real world". which one is more like masturbating? i find myself stuck in the middle somewhere...

"should have taken the blue pill." - cypher
this one is for my friend, cheng hung. he thought that he could be neo... excuse me, they called him "the one"... btw, how many people go to exile every day?

"there is no spoon." - the smart ass kid at oracle's house
i've been thinking about the meaning behind the line for the past 6 years. thank the tpjc choir, their teachers forgot to buy spoons for dinner just before their concert at esplanade...

"guns. lots of guns!" - neo
my papa asked me if i need anything when i last called him. i wanted to say "money. lots of money!"

"give me the code!" - agent smith
i hacked a computer to be my personal rootkit for illegal downloading and many other purposes. cheng hung was screaming something similar to me...

actually there are still many many other quotes, especially those philosophical ones from morpheus (he thought he's the god or what). but i have to stop because i'm already tired of typing.

have u noticed the picture at the start of the article? btw it's drawn by me when i was in secondary 3! you like huh? ... no? don't lie!

artist longyin

2008-05-21T21:01:00.005+08:00

hey wassarp!!! (let us skip the meaningless "boyakasha"...)

me is very proud of myself. me can sing, me can take photo, me can keep a blog; me can't study though... and me think that it's time to agree that me can actually draw also! me have two art friends, cheng hung and minh. they can draw very well. me heard that weird people are often artistic. well, me think that me is weird enough... so yar, as u see, me can draw as well!

here is my hardly used ti-84 plus graphical calculator. me couldn't afford a silver edition at the beginning of last year. so me decided to purchase just a normal one, and may then spray it with silver paint to make it a "silver edition" for real. but me soon gave up that stupid idea because silver paint was expensive too! anyway, my purpose was just to make the calculator look unlike a calculator, maybe i could just switch the front cover and battery cover with someone... at that time, my classmate james was the only human who supported my crazy plan. so thanks to james, for my black and white calculator.

since it was already black and white, why not make it even more black and white? fuck the silver paint!!! i decided to use permanent marker instead!!! yeah! when talking about black and white, the first thing came to my mind was the african zebra. boh! so me made it a super cute zebra! black and white stripes! stripes stripes!!!

dang dang dang dang! here it is .......V

cool shit! hopefully after me graduate from tpjc, me can sell it on ebay for 200 bucks... 150 for the electronics; 50 for the longyinthusiasm!

now let's chat about tattoo. me don't know why humans like tattoos. to me they juz look like birthmarks. me can imagine when couples are doing stuff on bed (some do it in clinics), apart from carrying out the standard in-and-out, they can also spend some time reading the tattoos! wad a smart invention! me like michael scofield's tattoo; it covers his whole body and has some secrets hidden in the pattern!

me want to have tattoos too! but me don't want the permanent ones. again, me chose markers!!!
here's a sample of my marker-tattoos!!!

me spent my whole day admiring it, and in the end me did not study at all!!!

say hi to the artist longyin! respek for real!

the best damn thing

2008-05-04T15:27:00.005+08:00

boh! wassup! today i want to talk about me profession.

i do have several professions, photography, singing, brainwashing... but there's actually a very insignificant one - video editing. when i joined faps last year, i didn't know the full name was actually "film and photography society"; the hell there's a "film" in front. i thought i was joining a photography club... so you know as the vice chairperson of the society i had to come out with something related to "film". teachers said i dun have to worry because we were actually doing videotaping for most of the school events but u know, that's called a videotaping, not filming.

it was really a nightmare before i eventually came out with the idea of "campus tv"(or should it be tv campus? wadever u like...) and that's how u guys see things like "bird shit show" and the "teacher's day show"... i is confident enough to say that u guys loved them but what the fuck, i is sorry to say that the show is not continuing any more because i is not the person in control. yar i know i should have at least write some proposal to save this project but watz the point of doing something that is gonna be rejected anyway? fuck that!

after that, there was only videotaping. it sucks, but i still have to do it. mao tze tung (was it he?) said, "if someone rapes you when you can't resist, enjoy it." ait, so i did it man; some more, i did it with my love.

so ladies and gentlemen let's watch this opening video presentation for the ministry of education invitational debate championship 2008 grand final (freakin long name indeed, look at surname 'n u'll see why).

in the beginning mr kenneth lee passed me some classical songs and wanted me to use them as the background music. i could imagine wad kind of product he was expecting from me... if the video seriously came out like wad he thought, it would be a shame on me. i cracked that cd and dumped it into dustbin (sorry mr lee). i started to plan something really cool, that the audience could feel the excitement and fury of the debate. graffiti font and scratching sounds are perfect. and i was considering the music... classical pieces? muahaha, no! hiphop? go suck its own ****! i decided that rock-techno was the most appropriate. and where do you think i got the scratchin sound effect from? - need for speed most wanted...

i have nothing to say about that ministry guy who asked me to lower the volume of the sound. i told him "sir, it's not my job". seriously, he didn't know that the ava control room can adjust the volume...

wad? what's name of the font that i used? good question. personally i love the font; it gives me a sense of street art. ait, the font is called "linkin park". u should have seen it on linkin park's album "hybrid theory", "meteora" & "reanimation".

so how do you like me video? cool huh? yar, it's the best i could do with the facilities & materials given... yar... "filmed"... with home camcoder... edited on pc...

hang a moment. dis morning my cell mate said he's going for self-exile, and he is missing since 9am. sounds like a joke doesn't it? let's assume it's a joke...

my cell mate

2008-05-02T21:03:00.005+08:00

wassup yo bros! today i shall... excuse me, as usual let's start with saying "boyakasha"! alright, safe.

today let's chat about my thug, cheng hung. me think it's necessary for me to mention him bcoz too many people are making mistake by assuming that he's me gay partner. no doubt, nowadays being gay is popular. me myself think that gays are cool actually. but IF me is really a gay, i mean if u are a gal, would u choose a psycho to be ur b friend?

in fact. he is me cell mate, not soul mate. we live in anglican high school's hostel; same room, not same bed. me like gals; he doesn't like men(let me assume). me dun like him, simply for one reason - he keeps telling people in school that "we're gays", while he already has a g friend.

like me said, he's a psycho. he sleeps 4 hours a day. besides doing school work and everything he does chinese calligraphy and sometimes dancing. unlike him, me dun write words in nice nice manner; me enjoy scratching paper with pens fast n furious, and me drag super long strokes to waste more ink. me can't dance either (can if someone could teach), i hate sissy stuff, especially dancing; only pussies do that.

he keeps two sets of drum sticks; he hit and bang tables and chairs 2am at night. he seems to be a geniune drummer, but seriously for the past 2 years that me have known him, me did not see a single drum with him (not even a toy one). me not like him, me love guitar, and me do have guitars. in fact me keep 3 guitars right now... it's just that me dun really know how to play...

hey u nuts listen up. me is not here to introduce him to u all okay? me just wants to declare that me is not gay, especially not gay with him. boh! so yar... eat more 'n keep fit, 'n me hope u all enjoy me bullshit... btw we cheng hung 'n me formed a organization call "babel" last year, and surprisingly this organization has done nothing so far! chill!

ait, stay alive and me wish u stick on to my blog. me'll be updating soon. yo! respek! check it.

boyakasha & nas show

2008-04-25T20:29:00.004+08:00

boyakasha!!! yo man! respek! (my long-time-no-see starting line) me want to work when me want to work. most of the time me want to just chill or whatever, or just hang with me homies! u dunno wassup coz u no hiphop people man.

as i said, me is back here man. me no more slack in my life man. so u'd better be in man. here's the thing: me is back here on longyinism and will continue to give u guys fun man. life doesnt blow - it sucks! u noe, school, cca, scholarship, relationship... all those crap... fuck off!

so yo, letz start today's post. here is my main man, nas. i'm sure u guys recognize his face. respek! he was the guy who suggested "pluster the butt (of the birds)" in my first faps video demo. he's a geniune artist indeed. i love his customized spectacles with widely openned eyes drawn on the glasses. today he again did an impressive job by performing a neck brownian motion with sahai during our loving mrs lee's jeepee tutorial. have a closer look here:

it started with brownian motion. but at last it ended up with an inelastic collision. why do you think the vid is so funny? coz nas was pretending sleeping!!! where the heaven do u see people sleeping with head turning round 'n round? poor sahai. thank him for letting me uploading this vid.... and sorry for ian chan, he laughed his ass off and tears flushing across his face...

boh! here comes near to the end. in fact, it is the end. yo, respek!

my very own 'what do i do with my heart'

2007-12-31T21:03:00.001+08:00

the eagles released their new album, 'long road out of eden', in october. i couldnt believe that such a bunch of old guys with white hair were still rocking. it was 13 years after their previous album, in the 21st century; 13 years.

i was listening to the cd in my auntie's car in beijing. i knew that it was a new album; but it really sounded old - old in what a nice way!

the day before i got that album, uncle wang taught me to practice remake background music for existed songs. "u listen to the kick, then the drums, then the hi hats... bass and then..." he said, "u must listen for many time until the whole thing burns into ur brain." hey! u think it's easy? i was never trained before...

didnt really think about making any background music. until the moment i heard the 4th track - 'what do i do with my heart'.

it's a horribly nice piece, i should say. i was so touched! i couldnt find a words to decribe its beauty. 'i shall sing it!' i said.

so, from the second day i reached singapore (16 dec 2007), i started to repeat listening to the song; with cd players at home or mp3 player outside. i then sat down in front of my computer and used guitar pro to compose the midi; it took me 4 days. then i spent another 3 days to apply realistic sound effect using cubase. however i didnt have a pair of good quality loudspeakers. i then brought everything to changyuan's home studio to record my singing and finalised the minus one. thank you changyuan!

and now, time to share the final product with u guys. (128kbps, stereo)

it was precious experience to have a personal song done on one's own. now i know how basically a typical rock song is made of. it was semi-professional - except uncle wang cant be here in singapore to help me do the mixing.

if u are interested, why not go to find the eagles original song and make a comparison?

lastly. hope u all know who this song is dedicated for.

i also hope to earn some little money so that i can invest to build up my own studio. hahax, why all my hobbies burn money?

my holiday life in the studio

2007-12-10T17:49:00.000+08:00

hey yo sup? last time i told you guys that i recorded a song in a professional studio. yes i worked in the studio for two weeks and managed to some little payment. it's called PTR Studio, one of the best in beijing. it's somewhere in the north, a few km away from the birdnest olympic stadium. i took subway line 5 and reported to the studio at 2pm everyday. surely some of u think that 2pm is super late; but u have to know that they dismiss only after 1am. wanna see the inside of the studio? take a look at this video clip!

boh! so how was it? the first room u saw in the video clip was the mixing room. it's where they adjust every single sound track of a song and finalise the master(the original track, which the factories use to mass produce music cds). the guy in purple below (appeared in the clip oso) is who they called the mixing engineer. he's got extremely sensitive ears and he knows at what frequency does certain instrument sounds the best. oh yar... his name is uncle wang... or wong... (shit~ can't remember.)

the second room i stepped in was the monitor room, where the recording engineer and other staff can operate and monitor the recording. the long haired guy in black&white stripes below is the recording engineer. i called him meng qi gege. his job was to operate all the complicated machines in the room and repair lousy vocal samples. you may wonder if he plays basketball; hahax let me tell u, nope... he said he's too thin to keep stable...

in the monitor room there are a few other staff oso. you can see them in the picture below... (from left to right) the first guy is yang lin, even younger than me, doing all kinds of assistance work. the macho guy with a guitar is hai hua gege, the manager of PTR Studio, and also a song composer under EMI. i m sitting in the centre. the young lady on my right is joe, a violinist, song composer and music arrangement editor; she monitors the recording and gives singers professional guidance to their vocal. all of them are multi-talented people, especially the little guy, yang lin, no.1 wow player in the server...

you must have noticed the corridor with lots of photos on the wall! yeah, they are all famous singers or music producers in china. but this guy below is not one of them... he's the best guitarist here, graduate of tianjin conservatory of music. he's a music arrangement editor as well and he produces excellent background music for many songs... however he always have financial crisis... oh yar... i called him shi yang gege.alrite... here's the last room that i showed in the video clip, the recording room. it's 100% sound proof. the only way to communicate with outside is through the earphone and the mic. i should say... it's the most sensitive mic in the world; it was suspended on rubber bands... look at this picture below, there's me!!! i was recording the guitar part of my song!!! cool shit...
so, that's all i want to talk about this time. here i want to thank all the staff in the studio to give me this opportunity to experience the life as a worker of the music industry and teach me all kinds of technics of recording. they are all nice people!

so we have come to the end of today's longyinism. let's say goodbye to PTR Studio. byebye!

the song for my princess - part ii

2007-11-27T21:46:00.002+08:00

i've been working in a recording studio in beijing for a few days. they have the best facilities i've ever seen. the past few days was damn busy, but today i got almost no work to do. i then booked the room under my own name and recorded "love will keep us alive" again! no doubt the quality is much better this time. hai hua gege (海华哥哥) helped me set up the capturing devices and was monitoring the whole process. uncle wang (王叔叔), an excellent audio engineer, helped me edit and finalised the sound tracks.

now, please enjoy the song, "love will keep us alive" for my princess - jingyi.

gonna talk about more about the studio next time. cya!

2007-11-25T00:19:00.000+08:00

meet mr cat on halloween night

2007-10-31T20:29:00.000+08:00

booyakasha! check this out. today i is here to talk about halloween. well i don't really know what halloween is. to me it seems just like the chinese hungry ghost festival (seven month) where children can dress up with unusual costumes and hijack one another's parents and ask them for money.

here is my main man, cheng hung, the top art guy from tampines junior college. this is a photo of him captured two days ago. he was pretending to be like homosexual and doing some performance art in the singapore national museum. he was spotted by the cctv camera and almost triggered the security. he said he did not know what he was doing, but i guess it has something to do with halloween.
he was planning with minh, the head of the tpjc vietnamese gang on what to wear on their friend's halloween party. today he wrapped his finger with rubber band and poke the finger tip with a needle. i heard some noise like from killing a pig and i saw blood sprayed onto his white long-sleeved business shirt. he then plaster his forehead and face and his finger, then carried a suitcase. he looked like a zombie from biohazard when he stood in front of the mirror but he insisted he was trying to make himself some guy from the FIGHTCLUB. well i don't know what fightclub is; but if cheng hung is one of the members, i would call them a bunch of psycho. and... well... good luck for his halloween party.

forget about cheng hung. yo! now let's chat about cats. there's a cat at the main gate of anglican high school; if u're lucky enough u should be able to see him (assuming it's male, coz i never check down there). i see him almost every morning and evening, and i managed to jump over his head each time! he's not scared of me at all! just now after my dinner i went to meet him, b4 he went for his halloween party with other pussies.

i then took a photo with him. pretty cool isn't it? he even knows to smile at the camera... bye bye mr cat...

i have to stop here becoz me and my friends hav decided to rob some teachers' house tonight, with fluoroscence masks and claws, of course...

respek! see ya!

a secret of the F.I.R. new album

2007-10-13T14:27:00.000+08:00

yesterday i bought F.I.R.'s new album 愛.歌姬 (love.diva)... i decided to buy it long before its releasing. hahax, i've finally got it... damn excited!!!

F.I.R. is always the best taiwanese rock band to me, since their first album, 飛兒樂團 (fei er yue tuan). this is already their 4th album and it could be one of their best! i still remember that day when i heard the hit 月牙灣 (Crescent Moon Bay) during the september holiday from 93.3fm...

i went back home and quickly inserted the cd into my com, but i was then stunned when i heard the 1st track... it was totally rubbish and sounded like from a stuck cassette tape!!!

i thought there might be dust or something on the disc so i took it out and carefully cleaned it and then put it back again. however the problem still existed...

then i told myself there must be something wrong with my com. so i try the cd in sing wei's mac and then in cheng hung's cd player. everybody agreed that the song must be just like that... what a disappointment...

but then cheng hung suddenly shouted "i know already! the song is reversed!"... then everybody said "oh, yar!"....

we quickly used minh's audio editing software to reversed the whole song... and now we've got the real version of the the song, 詠嘆曲 (Hymn)!!! i checked on the internet if anyone else has discovered this secret; luckily, not at all! hahax, we might be the 1st to find this secret in the world, or maybe asia? but definitely the 1st in singapore... hahahax

i wonder if F.I.R. got any special gift for people who managed to find their secret. but now it's time to share this real version of the song with u all...

teachers day performance

2007-09-02T11:20:00.000+08:00

friday was teachers day. all the chung cheng people asked me to "pon" college with them so that we could go back to chung cheng high earlier. but i had to go to college because i was supposed to perform with conan and ahmad.

we sang a song modified from "when you say nothing at all". the lyrics is about appreciating teachers' work and it's super funny and full of jokes. we did not expect to pass the audition in the first place - conan said all the other 7 groups of performers were much better than us; we got in just because the song was funny enough.

and of course, happy teachers day to all teachers...

my sumatra tiger, my metal monster

2007-07-29T14:51:00.000+08:00

they suggested me to buy a new one. but i said "no, it's not dead".

broken pedal does not mean dead.
rusted chain does not mean dead.
distorted spindle does not mean dead.
dysfunctional gear shifter does not mean dead.
it's still alive. my sumatra tiger, the metal monster, i bought it, i own it, i modified and sprayed it.
i don't allow it just die like that, with no meaning...

i forget the reason why i parked it near the school side gate. it's been a long time since i let go the handle last time.

beautiful orange fur with black stripes, u can't find another bike with the same colour in singapore.

i created it and it has my name on the chest. no one touches it without my permission. it only obey me. it's mine.

it still looks metallic, strong and tough from outside, after a long time. but i know it's very tired already. it's just trying to stand for its last dignity.

some months ago we still sped on the street together, attracting lots of attentions. my memory was full of sunshine, fresh air and freezing rain drops. but now, i can only touch its back and recall our happy memory.

some chinese shit to share

2007-07-14T16:31:00.000+08:00

hey yo! welcome to longyinism. today's gonna be special because this is the first time that i m using chinese to write this blog. hope u all heard of my friend cheng hung the psycho art guy: he was the one who told me "chinese blog is ok".
you know what? i tried composing a song during the stupid june holiday. but finally i only got the lyrics out. after editing for half a month, i think now it's the time to show it to you all.
here the shit is, let's go!

熙来攘往的商业街
玻璃墙的冷气咖啡店
我裹着租来的白色礼服
学人对着镜子扮模样

默默迈上墙角的舞台
人模人样的点头哈腰
他们面部统统扭曲
咀嚼巴黎风味点心
没有关系我也有吃饱
两杯泡面也是不同口味

钢琴手伴奏终于响起
我把嘴唇靠在银色Mic前
Jay Chow 含糊不清的吐词
陶喆娘娘腔的假音
会模仿才是最IN
他们听完才会开心

这不是 Indoor Stadium
也不是我的演唱会
唱完也没有掌声
他们面部依然扭曲
说话时食物喷到对面
店里气氛火热
我只是一个陪衬

靠窗第二张桌的女孩
在和一群男女嬉笑
我认出她来自我的学校
不想会在这种场合遇到
粉底眼影唇膏
头发遮住一只眼
也不能让你 Look 成熟一点
求求你不要矫揉造作
唱情歌只是我的工作

酒足饭饱的人逐渐散去
灯光渐渐黯淡
脱下人皮的我
镜子前狼狈的强睁双眼
我来到路边
向不远处招手
不是Taxi

别以为我是什么公子哥
别以为引人注目是我的风格
我的辛苦
被父母宠坏的小朋友
不懂......

never had i performed in a cafe before, i swear. the earth mama knows where the heck i got the inspiration from. cheng hung laughed his ass off after reading this.
ironically, sing wei has found a place where we can performe... some bar in somerset i guess. he's practicing the piano every night now; all jay chow and wong leehom stuff...

maybe it's necessary for me to explain this: the two pictures above were taken in city hall. they have nothing to do with the lyrics or poem or whatever. but they are in the same atmosphere: in crowded places, someone is forgotten. what the fuck, i m turning emo again...

靠，华文越来越烂了......

07/07/07, the night of being emo

2007-07-08T20:12:00.000+08:00

yo man, wassup? what were you guys doing last night? watching live earth performance on tv? you know what? i turned emo, very very emo, again after a few years time. i hate people being emo in front of me, but i turned emo myself...
planned to buy some new clothes and shoes with mihn, but sing wei wanted to bring us to a free rock concert at esplanade. after hearing those punky guys screaming for like half an hour, mihn and me went to a cafe nearby. couldn't afford seeing a group of sissy men gossip beside us, we decided to go somewhere else. watching ah bengs pointing mid fingers at ang mos in orchard road; then cheering for drunk people gang fighting at east coast. we then walked for 2 hours to kallang river, waving wine bottles in our hands.
so here is the place: the bridge outside indoor stadium. when we reached there, it was 3am in the morning already. we then sat on the handle bars, talking nonsense and drinking like siao.

i m sorry but i did not purposely make this picture so gay. i guess gays don't even sleep in the middle of the bridge. it was really cold there...
after sleeping for maybe 1 hour, i found mihn still reading his art book. then i took the pictures below of him as my model.

i cannot remember how this shit finally ended. i woke up on the bus back home at about 630am, found myself lied on the seats occupying the whole row...

keep your keyboard clean for your health

2007-06-27T20:25:00.000+08:00

booyakasha! check this out! good evening, guys. terrorists killed a thousand in 911 attack, while germs kill 60-80 thousand americans every year. look at the keyboard that you are using now; check those gaps in between the keys... yeee... you would easily spot dusts, hair, insects, oil, noodle, juice or whatever sticky liquid inside. how many family membersdo you have? for their & your own health, follow me and wash it now!
ps. better if you are using a logitech water proof keyboard
the inside of other keyboards may not be the same as mine

now, sit at your desk, or on your bed or any place that you feel comfortable. flip your keyboard and turn out all the screws at the bottom with a screw driver. keep them aside but don't lose a single one.

second step, open the bottom slightly (or force to open it, it won't break). now you will see some semi-transparent plastic sheets like this. it is the electric circuit. use ONLY dry materials to clean it and then keep aside.

now carefully remove this rubber-like thingy. make sure you don't tear it or mistake it with the ice-cube maker ^_^

take out the PCB with the wire and keep them aside. you have to do this 'cuz later you gonna throw the keyboard into water.

now you can wash the rubber-like silicon thingy with water, soap, detergen or shampoo or whatever

ask your mum if there is a used toothbrush for sacrifice to the mighty science. use it to brush every single gap or hole on the keyboard until all visible unwanted stuffs are cleared away. DO NOT use the dish cleaner; it rubs away the alphabets.

now it's the time to dry them up. shaking and tissue paper might be helpful to reduce the time taken for them to be dried.

make sure they are well dried. and now put them back one by one.

check if everything is inside alredy. ask your siblings if they took any parts. and then turn all the screws in tightly.

it now looks brand new!!! last but not least, tell your papa or mama you have done something for them.

keep it real. respek! cya.

the craziest thing in my holiday

2007-06-11T20:13:00.001+08:00

hello, everyone. let's talk about computers today. since i've got my budget for upgrading my desktop computer (the toothpaste-heatered one, please refer to how my pi was printed ), i need no more my super slow Celeron 1.2GHz laptop. knowing that nowadays kindergarten kids know how to dismantle a desktop computer, i decided to do something special again ------ to dismantle the stupid laptop!

the greatest hardcore hardware player, me, made the laptop look like this within half an hour, though i'd never see the inside of an laptop again. but now i see!!! it's almost the same as a desktop!!! except there are batteries...

now tell u guys a BIG joke: have u heard of the theory that seeing half a worm in the apple is more scary than seeing a whole worm? here is a modified version of this theory: having one extra screw left after putting back all the parts of the laptop is thousand times scary than failing to put them back...
i seriously dunno where the heck the damn screw should be... luckily, after all, the laptop still can work...

btw, anyone watched "Saint Seiya" before?

went mad on full moon's night with fever

2007-05-31T16:04:00.000+08:00

last night, having a fever of 39C, i saw cheng hung setting up the camera in the yard trying to take something. so i went downstairs to see what he was doing. he said it was full moon's night and he wanted to captured the moon. he was really hardcore that he used a 300mm 4.5:1 zooming lens together with a 2X teleplus lens. and now i m showing you a 9X bigger moon below.
when i was walking back to house, i noticed there was a little cutie posing on the grass. i tried to scare him away but he was so calm that he did not move a single step. i quickly called cheng hung and we took some cool photos with this young fellow: he looked really great under the light of the moon (reflected from the sun, i know).

i believed the 39C fever had destroyed my brain cells and it is said that people would turn mad under the full moon. the little frog reminded me of steve irwin. i madly squat down, sticked my face onto the grass and asked cheng hung to take a photo of me...
but any way, steve irwin was greater than me. he played with snakes and crocodiles, but i just played with a little frog.

the greatest photographer captured waterspout

2007-05-27T10:52:00.000+08:00

when tsunami attacked indonesia in 2004, i asked my friend if tsunami, flood, earthquake, volcano eruption, typhoon or tornado could happen in singapore, and they told me directly NO. i was so disappointed when i heard that coz we can't feel the greatness of the nature without disasters.

and then, this friday (25 may 2007), all J1s went for the navy openhouse at changi naval base. i was not impressed at all when i saw the small small boats parked at the port. but during the boat ride, when everybody was so high to get wet, i spotted something extremely unusual. that thing reminded me of the movie "the day after tomorrow". i told myself it might be just smoke from somewhere or some mirage, but when my classmates started to scream "tornado", i believed it was really happening, in singapore, just a few km away from me, on the sea!

it was time for me to do something! but the stupid breakwater structure outside the port kept blocking my sight. water from the side of the boat almost wet my phone. until the boat got rid of the breakwater, when the city, the tornado, and i formed a straight line, i pressed down the shutter and got this super shocking photo! my framing is nearly perfect coz that thing looks like right above the city's buildings and it's so horrifying!

some of the geography students kept telling it wasn't a tornado. they called it a "waterspout". then i went home and did some research. it is now clear that "a waterspout is a tornado on water..." haha, i wonder how their teacher teaches them geography. i don't care. i shall call it a tornado.

i also did some research in the main portal websites. they actually reported on the tornado. but their photos are like shit... (taken by residents probably). my photo is the best! i'm the greatest photographer.

english calligraphy

2007-05-05T10:41:00.000+08:00

owning tan terry homework for too long >< ... then friday had to stay in library struggling until 1830. but i did not use every single second to do the homework. i started a side project at the same time...

"er... how do you call that?"
"english calligraphy!"

but actually i know nothing about calligraphy. i returned all the skills back to my primary school teacher already. i was thinking about why there's only CHINESE calligraphy? why not ENGLISH calligraphy? or TAMIL calligraphy? then i remember one day i was using an arabic-like font to type my documents on computer... well... it inspired me to create such a CHINESE-LIKE font!!! all 26 alphabets are there... sorry for the messy drawing... not enough space on terry's question paper. notice that i actually came out with all the alphabets using PROPER STROKES which really exist!!! and specially made them different in CAPITAL and in SMALL cases...

mama said everything must be applicable... alright... let's apply them now...

it is applicable!!! and it looks so cool!!! next time i shall use this font to write my homework =D

i really want to see teachers drop their jaws hahax!! i got even better idea: make this font in computer... then send to all my friends!!! hahax...

anyway i completed my homework finally, but terry still angry with me... =(

how my pi was printed

2007-04-30T20:12:00.000+08:00

as you know, today is the deadline for submitting the PI for PW. and u should be able to imagine how i was struggling with it yesterday night. when i finally finished the PI, i was so happy that i turned on some music and then ACCIDENTALLY fell asleep with my laptop. when i opened my eyes this morning, it was 6am already. and i then realized i was supposed to print my PI out!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT!!! so i immediately on my desktop computer, however it hanged for no reason!!! then i noticed that the CPU fan was not turning at all!!! wtf!!!
i then entered the CMOS and the screen showed the CPU temperature had reached 80+ celcius degrees!!! OMG~ liddat the CPU can burn u know?

i quickly switched it off and took out the stupid fan and very obviously the sillicon layer behind the fan had dried up due to the unexpected heat.
and my poor AMD Athlon 900+ CPU looked almost burnt already... (lucky sia...)
wtf... i did not have sillicon soil at that moment so i just used toothpaste instead...
but the fan seemed spoilt already so the computer still could not work... i then got inspiration from dunno where... i took out my hair drier and started blow cool wind at the mother f***** fan... and finally the temperature went down to 60 and i eventually saw the familiar WINDOWS XP logo...
and of course, my room was full of smell of toothpaste... muahahahaha... but any way i held the hair drier all the way until the printing was done... and the most dramatic thing ever was: the computer hanged again just 3 seconds after i got my PI printed!!! wow!!! HOHO!!!

then i got no time to wax my hair and i had to take mrt to simei to catch the missed bus no.9... wow... everything was just on time!!! i saw zhi han at simei mrt oso!!! wow!!!! powerful sia!!!

HOLLYWOOD MOVIES ARE JUST LIKE THAT...

meaningless school icon designing competition

2007-04-20T03:08:00.000+08:00

a few days ago minh told me that my amy&archie never win. the honor goes to the black-headed ones. well i can accept this as the result is based on voting. my friends have tried their best to support me and i feel very satisfied.

but cheng hung told me his teacher actually dun like any of the students' designs... he said he's making a new one based on the winner's. then i "huh?"...
"wasted sia..."
i turned very confused. wad the fish is that? since he doesn't like our ideas, why he still set the online voting?! i felt wasted for the time drawing the stupid shit during lectures, for typing the rubbish write-up full of vulgar terms(they modified it until it sounds nicer) on my laptop and for minh's 200-buck colour pencils.
when i was about to forget it, minh told me some more: the teacher used my idea in his new icon - the pink and blue skin colour!

alright, if so, the teacher better gimme some prizes for the skin colour.

a dream... a simple but romantic dream...

2007-04-17T20:28:00.000+08:00

i m sure that every "single" guy will have this kind of dream: one day you save a girl 's life and she s gonna fall in love with you...
and normally it only happens in dreams...
you know, this is not the antient time so i cannot bring swords on streets and chop the bad guy. gals won't even hav a look at me coz they have seen better-looking guys on tv already. and after i told such a stupid dream to my friend, he said "LOSER!".

but dreams still carry on. some more i spent a whole night to draw this stupid dream onto a piece paper (double sides). now everybody can see: it's really a nonsense dream...

the story should happened some hundred years ago, most probably in china as main characters speaks chinese (or japan coz the guy dyed his hair and there're ninjas). the guy (supposed to be handsome) just dated with a gal (supposed to be pretty). then the gal was hijacked by a ninja gang. then the guy went to save the gal and was shot with a gun (when was gun invented?). then he killed the boss before he fainted. then the gal cried. then after a few months they get together...

i know my drawing's like a shit and my idea 's like a shit oso... but there's something VERY TRUE with it: that's what every good guy wants to do for the gal he likes, isn't it?

my happy april fools' day

2007-04-01T16:07:00.000+08:00

yesterday i still nvr realise the next day s gonna be april fool. i was fully concentrating on the campus superstar 2nd audition. well ofcos i passed and got into the 3rd round which s gonna be on 14 april. for the whole day i nvr eat anything and when i came back home, i was like dying. i forget the time that i went to bed. the only thing that i knew was... i heard my room mate coming into the room. i wanted to say hello to them but i could not wake up. after that i started to make dreams again.

zzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ....

well... dunno after how many hours... when i opened my eyes... i was SHOCKED! i still remember that i said "what the fu** is this..." hahax... as what u can see from the picture above: my bed was tightly wired with red and white adhesive tape (same as the one used in construction sites) !!!

then my bed totally looked like some kinda forbidden area... i said "shit... how am i supposed to get out..." then i was looking for the biggest hole on the "web". finally i squeezed and slipped out from the bed wearing only my undie... early in the morning i was still quite blurred but i noticed that there was no one else in the room. "funny sia..." i was toking to myself. just as i took my pants and was ready to wear, tonnes of people dashed into the door and laughed like siao... they said:

"HAHA! APRIL FOOL!!!"

den i forgot how to laugh already, quickly put on my pants and started to observe my poor bed.

OMG this is... it somehow looked like a birdie cage or spider web but definately not a bed... some more they put a stupid piece of paper on the bed, says "CACOON"...... then they showed me the photos they took when i was fast asleep...

V oh... it's Cheng Hung and Minh's idea... they art students like to do funny stuff which normal people cannot understand... then they showed me a piece of paper, says "congratulation! u passed the audition!"

now i know it's not only a april fool joke...

i remembered that day when i was walking on my way home... i saw a worm hanging on his silk from a tree... then todae i become a cacoon... there must be something related i think... well... after breaking the cacoon, wat would u get? muahaha... thank you cheng hung & minh...

wad a nice day!!!

decorate handphones with wrist bands!!!

2007-03-25T16:45:00.000+08:00

hey guys, this is my first post on this blog. today i wanna talk about wrist bands. well i guess everyone has a wrist band... i ve got 3 within the past 2 yrs! but unluckily my school doesn't allow students to wear them... i had to take them off then... =(

ok let's have a look on the bands carefully. they're colourful, elastic and... well there's some words on them... they're nice isn't it? are u really gonna follow the stupid school rule and throw them away? well i heard NOOOO! alright let's do something with them so we can keep them and show ppl how nice they are!!!

dang dang dang dang!!!!

look at my handphone here!!!
(MOTO ROKR E2 Jay Chou Limited Version)
wad model is not important... thought i like orange but every day seeing the same colour still a bit boring...

well... one day i was holding a wrist band and my phone in my hands... den suddenly a stupid but creative idea came up!!! i put the band around my phone!!!

Nice rite?!!! muahaha... i know u are damn jealous now!!! after i showed this to my friends they all took off their wrist bands and started to put them on their handphones!!! i m gonna show u some of their work now!!!

Audi's Nokia phone

Cheng Hung's MOTO L6

Hong Liang's (dunno wad phone...)

Raj's Siemens Phone

========================================================

HAHAHA~ how are they? i hope u guys will like it. Customize ur handphone with wrist bands now!!! these are the benefits u can get:

1. ur phone will look nice! (of course)

2. ur phone will not break if u drop it on the floor

3. ur phone will not come out easily if ur pocket is too slippery (sometimes i even find it difficult to take out) =)

There's something u must take note:

1. this is ONLY applicatable on BAR PHONES... (flip or slide phones cannot)

2. make sure those buttons on the sides are not important...

3. make sure the band can be easily taken out... coz u needa charge ur batt =)

Alright, that's all for today!!! cya!!!
