working life

hey guys, sorry for not updating the blog for so long.. well, it's not like anyone cares i guess..haha...
so yeah, i'm back from Bintulu for about 1 month now and started working as a consultant in an engineering firm. it's my dream job. i mean, after you graduated from engineering school, naturally you would want to work as a consultant, especially if you're a girl and don't want to get dirty and sweaty under the sun.
this job is predictable, routine and stable. this is what i always wanted... or so i thought.

you see, this place where i work, is a place where sitting next to a window is actually a luxury. it's practically a benefit that only engineers or senior draftmen and above can get. do you believe that having a window next to you and being able to look outside for greens and blue sky can make you feel happier? it's not a myth in a place like this. i really appreciate a ray of sunshine to shine through the window and falls on my cold little table. i'm even happier when it begins to rain...here you can only sit at your own place and stare at your work and the same piece of partition in front of you for the whole 8 hours. well that's only for me, if you're sociable enough and like to go around the office and chat with other people once in a while then maybe you can cut that down to 6 or 7 hours. which is not that all impressive.

anyway... what i wanted to say is that, although this office is cold, the people are even cooler. i dont even care if it's proper english to put it this way, but you get my point. their hearts, long exposed in this cold, dark and confined space, have forgotten the warmth of love. this guy, he's been seasoned real well and kept in this freezer for nearly 30 years. and his heart is as hard as a freezing piece of meat. and because he's been living in this freezer for too long, he's forgotten about warmth. he fears heat. he fears being defrost because it makes him soft and vulnerable then anything can come and pierce it or cut it into pieces. so he stays in the freezer to stay strong, to protect himself, and he keeps upholding the belief that staying in the freezer is the only way to survive. he spreads the gospel but he never believe anyone would survive with him. and when every time the freezer door is open, he would kick those innocent young meat to the front, causing them to get defrost and eaten.

so one fine day,

human: frozen meat? wtf! how long have you been here?!
frozen meat: this is the end for me. i never thought it would be so soon...
human: oh frozen meat don't be upset, i will let you die with pride, since you are expired i cant eat you anyway.

so human dumped frozen meat on the floor and it shattered it into pieces. he dies as a hard frozen meat. his upholding prevented him from being eaten. he is proud to be the only piece of meat to die this way.

but how foolish frozen meat was indeed. he never realize that for a meat like him, he was supposed to be eaten. his nutrient was supposed to be absorbed and used for the good of the nature.

well, you know the meaning to this story. it can have many implications depends on how you see it. but if you feel pity for the frozen meat because you feel him, you might be a frozen meat yourself.

eventually, people will learn to protect themselves against the evil of the world. but when it becomes the belief or the principle of your life, you are going a bit too far. it's like, you think your car shell is too soft, so you use diamonds to armour it because diamond is the hardest material in the world, you think i'd be better equip your car with some nuclear weapon so no one dares to come close to you, so no one can damage your car, so no one can harm you. but do you realise that you yourself are putting others in danger while doing so?

you get the point. well, let's see if i'll become a frozen meat one day.

Astro Battleground 2011: Katoon Network

Remember I told you Astro Battleground (ABG) is one of the biggest street dance competitions in Malaysia? IT IS BACKKK YO PEEPS !!!! Just as I thought ABG has gone downhill, suddenly many awesome teams are showing up on the show again! If you are one of the loyal fans of Elecoldxhot you won't have missed the news that Joe Lin is joining this year's ABG under team F.I.X. Not to forget Chris Ooi's Junior, Freshype and one of the senior break dance teams in Malaysia, Floor Fever.

But none of the groups caught my attention more than Katoon Network! They were the champion team of ABG 2009, 2nd-runner up of Asian MRT Cup 2010 at Taiwan, Malaysian represent for Hip Hop International 2011 at Las Vegas, performers at The Big Groove 2010 at Singapore and winner of many other local and international street dance competitions. With such vast experiences and strong background, I just couldn't expect less from them. Let's see how much they have progressed over the last 2 years.. :D

Astro Battleground is about to get really interesting again this season so don't miss it!! :D Now for some sneak peek of Katoon Network's performance at ABG audition.

8tv showdown 2011 final

Well, there you have it, the champion of 8tv Showdown 2011, Elecoldxhot!!!! Congratulations guys!! :D

So I predicted wrong. Elecoldxhot did have something up their sleeves after all. I like how they use different music genre, like dubstep in the first routine. But the show that blown us away have got to be the second show. The second routine was the best, I would say, of all the performances they have done throughout the show. They finally get rid of the annoying idle which they like to incorporate in the middle of the routine. They finally speed up, although still not much grooving, but fast movements really make the show a lot more exciting. So, kudos to the choreographer.

In the battle round, I really think that HMC Phlow did a better job. They seem much more prepared and focused. Their sets were also more neat and please to watch. Elecoldxhot on the other hand, idle a lot during the battle. Before they took their first move, they were sort of lost... They wasted some time scouting the stage while discussing for strategies or waiting for their song to come in, or something like that... It was obvious that they weren't well prepared. At that moment, I thought that was it for them. But luckily they managed to show some stunts before the time was up.

The next most anticipated competition would be Astro Battleground 2011/2012, which hopefully will take place at the fourth quarter of the year. I am looking forward to see more talents this year. It kinda went downhill after the third season but I still believe there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons...Please come out from where you're hiding cause we need to see you :D

Speaking of which I've came across a very talented young man, called Lee Hann Sen, aka B-boy Hann Sen. So far I only know he is or was a member of Famous Crew, he competed in a few B-boy competition such as BOTY and I-battle Penang (search through Youtube). Really hope to see more of him soon :)

Check out his crazy moves:

8tv showdown 2011 final: result prediction

Wow what's this! Dennis is totally stressed out.. :( Through Dennis's confession, it seems like there's a lot of conspiracy in 8tv Showdown 2011 competition. He seems quite unhappy with the competition particularly with how 8tv organises things. From his words, it can also be deduced that Elecoldxhot is having some dispute with other teams... O.o

http://apps.8tv.com.my/showdown/vid-gallery-notseenontv.asp

Do check out other videos provided in the link.

AND OMG!!! Rokustep has fans from JAPAN!!!!!! O.O''' For real??? Suggooiiii

Prediction:

So... tonight is the night! Who will win Showdown 2011? First and foremost, I guess every team that goes into the final deserves a standing ovation. Great job and thank you for all the wonderful times ;D

Frankly, I thought Elecoldxhot would win this competition, but I was shocked when I know their votes weren't the highest. The votes they got could only earn them 2nd runner up. But they definitely deserve more votes yo, so keep voting..

For the result prediction... I'm definitely not as good as Paul, just giving some personal opinions here.. I think..

HMC Phlow would win the title,

Elecoldxhot 1st runner up,

2nd runner up, Bounce Steppers

Rokustep would stand a chance IF Showdown were meant for B-boys.

But the judges and the fans made it clear that this competition is NOT about skills and power moves all along, it's about entertainment...Cause face it, not all the audience know hip hop dances. Not all understand the level of difficulty of a move. Not all appreciate stunts. We normal people only recognise the entertainment value of a show. If the show if interesting enough, then you have our votes.

HMC Phlow would win because I think they showed very consistent performances throughout the show, you can expect good show from them during the final as well. To me, the only thing they lack is attitude...You know, all of them looked too friendly... Show serious faces and held your heads up higher like Faruq, you'll be more destructive.

If Elecoldxhot cannot get champion, it's really not the team we should blame... The judges like them, they've demonstrated high quality of performances every week, there is no way they could lose this competition, really.

But since the show is coming to an end, I guess I can at least voice out my tiny little disappointment about this team that I held so long.

Elecoldxhot, no doubt they can blow the stage, that is, if they let the right person to choreograph... ;D You can definitely figure out their style now --- LA style. But sorry to say...LA style is not interesting enough for an ordinary audience like me... I do hope that they let the one with true talent to choreograph the last and most essential show tonight! I've watched quite a number of their shows and I think, if I guess right, 'that guy' is too confident of himself. He doesn't realize that he needs to absorb more variety of styles into his routine. The other guys in the team who knew this all along, please voice out and help him realize his routine is getting boring. So all I can say is, good luck Elecoldxhot.

Tonight, 930pm, 8tv, 2011 final Showdown. Don't miss it.

Elecoldxhot members

From left: Faruq(from HMC Phlow), Joey, Chriz Ooi, Joe Lin, Billy Yap, Dennis Yin.

Disclaimer : I got this photo from Elecoldxhot facebook fanpage...

A lil intro maybe, but I knew them mostly from Astro Battleground... Chriz and Billy are the original members. Together with Monkey, Leon and Gary, they won Astro Battleground 2008 with their creative and neat choreography.

Dennis was also a winner of Astro Battleground 2007, competing under a highly potential crew known as Racken Force. He joined Elecoldxhot to challenge Astro Battleground again in 2009 and had fought beautifully to the final. Despite outstanding performances delivered throughout the show, this crew was only able to get first runner up in the competition.

Joe Lin with his crew, Free was also one of the competing teams in Astro Battleground 2009. They demonstrated very high standard performances, but wasn't good enough to fight the other extraordinarily strong teams that gathered all at once in that year's competition. To me, that was the most exciting street dance competition ever held in Malaysia. Do do check them out on Youtube... I dare to say the standard was a lot better than Showdown 2011. But still, I'll follow Showdown till the final. As for Joey, this is the first time I see him on TV, so I don't have much to say about him... :X

Elecoldxhot: Showdown Week 6 Life Show

Here's Elecoldxhot's week 6 live show... I don't know whether I like this performance or not... I was waiting for the impact... but it just didn't come :/

They have set their benchmark so high on Week 4 live show that now they have no choice but to maintain that level of entertainment and difficulty, otherwise their performance would be overshadowed. I have seen better performances from them such as this one.

I guess what Elecoldxhot lacks of is grooving... Hope they work that out :)

Elecoldxhot: Showdown 2011 Week 5

There you go. Yet another awesome performance by Elecoldxhot in Showdown 2011 week 5 live show. It's unquestionable that they were the best crew of the night, but I kinda feel it's overshadowed by last week performance... :/ maybe I just prefer trans over vampires.. nyehehe....

You know once you get famous, you can't escape your fate of being drawn into some horrible manga character by some crazy otaku fans... XDDDD Here's one on Dennis~<3

8TV Showdown 2011--Analyzing Elecoldxhot: from an audience point of view

OMG... I'm totally into street dance recently and showdown 2011 is definitely one of the most prestigious street dance competitions that cannot be missed yo!

This year I'm eying on Elecoldxhot. Frankly speaking I wasn't quite a big fan of them before this. I've seen their performance in Astro Battleground and click through some of their videos on Youtube. While I found their style unique, their skills are lacking and their dance variety limited. I thought they still don't groove much to the music, they still stop half way through the dance and waste time looking at each other, too much slow mo..

But this performance totally blown me away... O.O

The crowd just love it don't they? I myself have watched it for countless times :D

To me, rather than doing complicated flipping or human stacking or any moves that requires years of practicing to achieve perfectness, they focused more on choreographing a set that would sell for sure. They've mastered the tactics so well that people would be totally mesmerized by their show and oversee the weaknesses in their moves. Take this video for example. Dennis is the only one who can shake like a real mama.. But the show was a blast, no one really cares about how they dance.. It was so mind blowing that you won't even have time to think : hey, that guy should have shaken harder.. Of course if everyone could dance like Dennis that would give extra merit..

Another strength of this crew is they are very confident in themselves and their crew members. They work together so well that you can hardly find any fault in their routine 95% of the time. Everyone in the team loves their set, they have practiced for so many times and all there is left is to impress the people. Not to mention they are hardworking and creative. They are able to pull it off every week with strong believe in themselves.

Quoting Showdown judge Maple Loo: They are creative, cool, confident, they have character, they got craft and lastly they dance like crazy. This group will definitely go far in this competition. All the best to Elecoldxhot!!

random post

Ahhh... It's a lazy Tuesday afternoon...

Life is as usual

Doing assignments and watching Youtube videos at the same time is an unchanged routine for the past 4 years..

Sometimes when assignment gets really boring and stressful, I'd start to think if all of these are worth it...

art passion

I'm actually a big fan of anime and manga:) Here are some of my art works that I produced during free time^^ no matter how busy I am, I can always find some time to practice my drawing skills. But as you can see my skills are still very immature. I wonder how far I could have gone if I took design course rather than engineering 5 years ago...

Sometimes it really made me down. I'm not at all a bright student, I know my own capabilities. It was mere self ego that pushed me forward. That half-hearted effort made me an incompetent engineering student and a poor artist. I believe every success comes with a true passion and 100% commitment. And the saddest thing in the world, is to give up your true passion for other people's passion.

Fukushima Daiichi plant latest news

Following the 9.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan on March 11, more than 400 major aftershocks stronger than 5.0 magnitude occurred, taking away 13,219 lives in the prefecture, with more than 14,000 more still unaccounted for. This disaster has left 150,000 homeless (AFP).

The catastrophe also knocked out the cooling system of the Fukushima Daiichi plant that has since spurred anxiety of nuclear widespread. Despite weeks of efforts to cool down the plant reactor using sea water, the plant still experienced continuous episodes of explosions and eventually released nuclear radiation to the vicinity.

Fukushima on par with Chernobyl

On 12 April, Japan upgraded its nuclear emergency to the highest level of 7 in the international scale of atomic crisis, putting it on par with the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that took place in 1986. Level 7 in the UN's International Events Scale (INES) is rated as a major accident that related to:

a ''Major release of radioactive materials with widespread health and environmental effects, requiring implementation of planned and extended countermeasures.''

The significance of INES scale from zero to Level 7 are shown below:

Zero: Events known as 'deviations' that have no safety significance

Level 1: Anomaly. Minor problem with safety components at a nuclear plant, but significant safety margin remaining.

Level 2: Incident. Radiation levels of more than 50 millisieverts (mSv) per hour.

Level 3: Serious Incident. Severe contamination within facility with non-lethal injuries. Low probability of public exposure.

Level 4: Accident with local consequences. Partial meltdown to fuel and release of significant amount of radioactive particles within facility but no countermeasures needed.

Level 5: Accident with wider consequences. Severe damage to reactor core, large quantity of radioactive material released. Requires some planned countermeasures.

Level 6: Serious accident. Significant release of radioactive material requiring planned countermeasures.

Level 7: Major accident. Major release of radioactive materials with widespread health and environmental effects, requiring implementation of planned and extended countermeasures.

----Borneo Post, 13/4/2011.

Plans to dismantle plant

Every increment in the scale would mean 10-fold increase in severity. Now, the options left are very limited. One of them would be to dismantle the plant for good. However, this is no ordinary dismantling, claimed Tokyo-based analyst at Mizuho Investors Securities Co.. The decommissioning of a nuclear plant would take not 3 years, but 3 decades to complete, consuming up to 1 trillion yen ($12 billion) in the process. (Bloomberg) The companies that have submitted the proposal include:

1. Hitachi Ltd. (6501) and General Electric Co. (GE).

2. Toshiba’s group, which includes Babcock & Wilcox Co. (BWC) and Shaw Group Inc. (SHAW)

3. Areva, the world’s biggest maker of nuclear reactors.

Sucker Punch movie review

Although many people say that Sucker Punch is for guys, being a female audience, I have to say: ''The movie is pure awesomeness!''

Do expect lots of kick-ass fighting scenes with fabulous graphics and cool background music. Do expect hot chicks. Do also expect 'echi' costumes, guys would definitely like it ;D. If you are an otaku, you would also find some mild 'yuri' scenes throughout the movie. Basically I think the movie has a lot of Japanese anime essence in it. If it were to be an anime, one would classify it under 'action', 'mecha', 'echi', and 'psycho'.

However, I would not recommend the movie to those expecting storyline. The story is not well elaborated. There are loose ends here and there and it is hard to make sense out of the movie if you don't read the synopsis beforehand. The character development is also kind of limited. I would give 3.5 out of 5 for the storyline.

But then again, I would say the story is very unique, it is just like what the trailer emphasized, '' you will be unprepared''! And what I like most about this movie is that 'hot chicks fighting in sexy costumes' actually make sense in this movie! *spoiler ahead* Because the fighting scenes are the character's fantasies, so anything unrealistic about the fights automatically becomes acceptable. No one can actually say something like 'It's impossible throw that thing so high!' or 'how can she be so strong she doesn't even have biceps!' and so on... Those are her fantasies after all! And that's what so clever about the whole idea.

Now check out the trailer and one of my favourite songs from the soundtrack :) Enjoy.

No.1: C.R.A.Z.Y. (Italy)

Born Christmas Day 1960, Zac Beaulieu is the fourth of five sons of Gervais and Laurianne Beaulieu. Zac feels somewhat disconnected to his brothers, all of whom are different from each other. They include the bookworm Christian who is the eldest, the dumb jock Antoine who is third, and the youngest Yvan. But Zac has the most contempt for his second eldest brother, the shiftless druggie Raymond. To his devout Catholic mother, Zac is her miracle son, both for being born the same day as Jesus Christ (a fact which Zac has always hated), and because a Tupperware-selling mystic once told her that he has the power to heal. Laurianne has always coddled Zac, the two who have a special if unspoken bond. But Zac wants more to please his father, who wants more than anything in his sons that they grow up to be man's men and not sissies. As Zac goes through his mid-teens to early twenties, Zac isn't sure if he can live up to the ideals of either his mother or especially his father...

Japanese spirit

Following the catastrophe that hit Japan on 11 March this year, the nuclear plant located at the Fukushima prefecture underwent a series of explosions which led to serious leaking of nuclear radiation. Tens of thousands died and went missing due to the 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami attack. People living within 30km radius from the plant were evacuated. Raw spinach and milk from the vicinity have been tested positive for nuclear radiation. Nuclear crisis has become an international concern now and people could not help but feel helpless and miserable at moment like this. In fact, many wonder if this is the end that we've been reading and hearing all this while.

Nevertheless, it definitely is not the end for Japan. Being a country that created dozens of superhero characters that give so much fantasies and hopes to so many people around the world, Japan never stop giving hope and comfort to us even after experiencing such catastrophe. I was truly astonished by how optimistic and how organised they are while handling the aftermath of the disasters. The video below for example, is enough to show how amazing the Japanese are.

Once again, lets hope Japan recuperates soon.

gosh...

Don't just do for the sack of completing the job please... 3:(
