This is the logo for 50th Anniversary Malaysia National Day, Malaysiaku Gemilang. Tomorrow(31-08-2007), all Malaysians will be celebrating Malaysia's 50th years of independence. Heehaw~...there must be fireworks in KL city. Unfortunately, I cannot go there. It's too damn far from my place. So..maybe I'm celebrating in my own room. Hehe...
So...here are the meanings of the logos in malay version where I searched it from here.
Rekabentuk logo ini diilhamkan dari jalur gemilang sedang berkibar yang merupakan bendera kebanggaan rakyat Malaysia. Kibaran Jalur Gemilang melambangkan semangat kecintaan rakyat pada negara.
Jalur merah dan putih digayakan dalam bentuk angka lima manakala bentuk bulan dan bintang dijadikan angka kosong yang mana ia menjadikan angka 50 yang menjadi tonggak utama logo ini sempena ulang tahun kemerdekaan ke 50.
Bahagian dihujung angka 5 terus disambungkan pada stigma bunga raya yang merupakan bunga kebangsaan Malaysia. Pada stigma itu diletakkan lima titik dihujungnya yang bermaksud lima rukun negara yang menjadi amalan setiap rakyat Malaysia.
Bentuk dasar logo adalah bulat yang 'italic' / slanted ke kanan. Bentuk ini adalah dinamik yang memberi maksud kemajuan pesat yang dialami oleh negara Malaysia sejak 50 tahun mencapai kemerdekaan
Bentuk bulat juga bermaksud rakyat Malaysia berbilang kaum yang bersatu dalam mencapai nikmat dan kemajuan sepanjang 50 tahun usia kemerdekaan.
Warna merah dan putih melambangkan keseluruhan rakyat Malaysia. Warna biru bermaksud perpaduan yang dijalankan oleh rakyat. Manakala kuning adalah melambangkan ketua negara, Yang Di Pertuan Agong, ia juga bermaksud kegemilangan yang dikecapi semenjak 50 tahun usia kemerdekaan Malaysia.
And here is the Malaysia's Independence Day Theme Song "Malaysiaku Gemilang":
Lyric: "Malaysiaku Gemilang" Marilah kita semua Atas nama negarabangsa Dengan Tekad mulia, Maju Berwawasan Mencipta keagungan Berpadulah kita semua Di dalam satu suara Dengan degupan Merdeka Menjulang budaya bangsa Untuk Malaysia tercinta Malaysiaku gemilang Merdekanya terbilang Berdaulat dan makmur Berjaya kami syukur Malaysia, kebebasan kedamaian Malaysia, kebahagiaan kebanggaan Malaysia, cemerlang terbilang Malaysiaku gagah gemilang

We love Malaysia and Happy National Day~! Enjoy...
I slept at 5:00a.m today and woke up very "early" in the morning after 5 hours of sleep. It's very tiring and I hardly to open my eyes. After brushing my damn teeth I had a long journey from Sg. Long to Petaling Jaya's Utar campus. That's about 35km distance and around 45 minutes to reach the destination.
And you know what? I went to attend 1 phucking HOUR Mathematics for Business & Social Science revision class. It's so damn far from my house and wasted a lot of time on the road just to attend 1 hour class? What the phuck? And and...frankly, I hate this subject very much. Hate calculations! The lecturer, Mr. Chua, who gave us the revision today. Damn! I have to say that I'm not quite sure if he's good in teaching or am I stupid? Many of the questions that he explained, some I understand(I have some basics), but some...hmm, I really don't understand(I think I am stupid..hehe).
Kind of hate this subject because there are so many phucking piece of shit symbols and formulas that you need to memorize. Don't really know what do the symbols stand for. I wanted to ask but in the end I didn't ask. Ha! I just jotted down the formulas and the notes from the white board and prepare to ask my friend to teach me. Pity to my friend as he's going to be busy for his final exam too while I'm still asking piece of shit Maths which is my failed subject and he had passed the subject.
In order to increase my CGPA, I was forced to attend this phucking 1 HOUR revision class. Yeah, I didn't manage to get above 2 CGPA. I have to sit for the particular subjects like, Economics, Introduction to Cost Accounting and Maths. I have failed these 3 subjects and I have missed 1 class for Economics, damn!
I really don't want to let my parents down. That's why I have attended the 1 HOUR revision class. I have tried my best, dad, mom. Attending the revision class, it's worth it though. I have learned mostly the important formulas and get some tips anyway. What else can I do? You study for future? Maybe yes, maybe no? It depends on how you think. In my mind, both the answers I accept. Yes, it's really for your future because these days, if you have the certificate with you, companies will consider you first only then people without certificate. Correct me if I'm wrong. And for the answer No, will that be your forever job? Salary satisfaction? Even now, you can see some people without certificate, they got higher salary than those people with certificate.
Gosh~ I am really feeling damn sleepy now. How I wish I could have done my revision now but I cannot tahan already. Sleep first. zZz....
Whoa, I was really having fun tonight at pasar malam - Taman O.U.G. The most enticing me at pasar malam are the foods over there. The most that I like is Chow Tofu(臭豆腐). Everytime when I go to pasar malam, it's confirmed that I'm going to buy some Chow Tofus to eat. If I don't buy it, probably because they are not around. Man~ it's really phucking delicious. You can't imagine how good it is and I'm not going to tell you how good it is. IT'S JUST PHUCKING NICE! Someday, I'm going to bring my whole family to have Chow Tofu as a dinner? Haha. It's so special to me because my hometown does not have this kind of food.
Some people may hate the smell of it, perhaps, it's smelly for some people? For me, the smell is perfect. It's like....how to say, umm...fried chicken? Hmm, don't really know how to express it.
Heard someone saying that Chow Tofu is made of rotten vegetables. I don't know if it's true but it sucks when you look at the Tofu in the container which full of dark green juice. I don't have the picture with me but it really sucks! They just grab them and cut it into 4 pieces. I mean one whole Tofu cut it into 4 and then fried it. Fried them with full of don't-know what-oil is that in a big pot.
Sometimes, I feel that, selling Chow Tofu is quite earning though. You can see, they cut 1 piece of Tofu into 4 pieces. 1 small piece sell for RM0.60. Which mean, 1 whole big Tofu equal to RM2.40. What the phuck, that's a lot of money! By the way, tons of Tofu are in a big container. I don't know how many they are, but I can tell you, IT'S PHUCKING A LOT!
Unfortunately, if you want to eat Chow Tofu, there's a schedule for you. They are not selling at one place but many places. I think they are 5 places on Sunday and Tuesday to Friday. I'll list them here.
Schedule and Venue: 1. Sunday - Kepong Baru 2. Tuesday - Sri Petaling 3. Wednesday - Taman Connaught 4. Thursday - Taman O.U.G 5. Friday - Taman Putra, Cheras
1. And this are the fresh Chow Tofus.
2. With chilly sauce and slices of cabbages. Yeah, I ate 8 pieces which equal to 2 big Tofu. Cost me RM4.80. Remember, it's RM0.60 for one little piece of Tofu.
Note: Do not upset your stomach by eating too much, it's not good for your health. Perhaps, once a week? Hmm~ you decide.
Alright, the reason I write this post because I want to let people know about the importance of APM. I do not care whether you are a newbie, average gamers or pro-gamers. I myself is not a pro-gamer but I still have to write it out. So, let's start off.
Okay, what is APM? APM stands for Actions Per Minute. It's a calculation of gamers' actions in some games like Warcraft III, Starcraft, DotA and so forth. To make it clearer, it's a calculation based on how many times you have CLICKED the mouse and how many times you have PRESSED the keyboard per minute. Basically, high APM usually connected with skills. How fast you can control in a game and high APM also shows one's Micro skills. For me, my average APM for Warcraft III standard game is around 150-170 apm which is very noob. Pro-gamers like WE.Sky(2006 World Cyber Games Champion for Warcraft III) from China has average APM around 270-300 apm, that's insane!
I found that a lot of gamers do not know about APM. When I asked my friends about APM, they didn't know what the hell am I talking about. No matter what I have told them, they are not interested and play the game blindly without knowledge(no offense). All I can say is ACTIONS PER MINUTE, that's all.
I have an APM machine, specially for Warcraft III.(W3G Master - I may be uploaded the software here.) which I forgot where have I downloaded. You can download them and search them from Google search. You can say it's important or not important for you. But personally, I feel that it's important. Why? Because you can improve your skills, your ability to micro, train your speed, efficiency and accuracy. That's what I found out, of course.
Here are some examples of my Warcraft III Battle.Net APM from my APM machine: Yeap, I'm Bausch and I'm a Human player from Lordaeron(U.S West). You can see that I have 153.28 APM while my opponent was only 35.98 APM. Do not laugh at me for playing with a newbie. This wasn't my choice to challenge him, because he has average Level as mine, so the server let us had a match by random. And yeah, I won the match.
Here is the Chart. I was in blue and my opponent in yellow. Apparently, you can see that, for the first 2 minutes, I have over 500 APM, and after that average APM was like 200. Hmm~ not too bad for me. Of course do not compare it to Professional Gamers.
This chart shows action that I had. Do not try any questions in your mind about my right clicking. Pros have even much more than I do. You can see that my Select group hotkey(using keyboard), I had 977 actions which is not pro at all.
Okay, enough for my own APM. Now, I'm going to show you the 2006 World Cyber Games Champion's APM - WE.SKY, a Human player.
This is the APM of WE.Sky and WE.DuCui. Look at those phucking pro players. 280+ apm. Compare to me, I sucks!
Brown is Sky and Red is DuCui. Sky had phucking over 600 apm for the first 2 minutes. Hmm~ speechless.
The Right Clicking method. Look at the figures! INSANE!!!! 1.8k and 2.5k actions! Of course 2.5k right clicking is not for 1 minute, it's for the whole game.
To end this post, I would like to tell you all, high APM doesn't mean you are a Pro, but low APM and I mean LOW, you are really a noob. Have to improve yourself, I should say. Also, you can download the APM calculator by yourself in order to check your own APM. I wish one day, there's a Malaysian winning WCG championships. Improve, improve and improve!! Remember that!
I don't really know what's happening to those Pro Players. Yeah, I mean Badminton. It's like phucking strange that low ranking players had won the match against high ranking players. And the difference between the ranks are far behind.
14th August 2007 ANUP, Sridhar - Who the phuck is he? It's kind of like a miracle to win Taufik Hidayat from Indonesia who currently world ranking no.10 and yet Anup was just world ranking no.34. See the difference between the ranking? I couldn't believe what I saw. The results were 21-14, 24-26, 22-20. This is crap. The next day I read newspaper (15/08/2007), Taufik told the reporters that Anup is a tough players.
15th August 2007 Again, Anup Sridhar from India. On the 15th August, 3rd Round against Malaysian player - Muhd Hafiz B Hashim (world ranking no.13). The results were 21-19, 18-21, 21-15. Yes, Anup won. Phuck, there are no Malaysia single players left. Now, we have to depend on Wong Mew Choo (world ranking no.10), women's single and 2 men's double Choong Tan Fook and Lee Wan Wah (world ranking no.6) and Koo Kian Keat and Tan Boon Heong (world ranking no.2). Gambateh~~
Here goes to Wong Mew Choo our Malaysian woman single. It's nice to see her winning the match against Xie Xing Fang (world ranking no.2) from China. The results were 21-10 and 21-8. Why the phuck could this happened? Xing Fang's score is not even over 10 per match. This is too phucking strange. Miracle miracle miracle!!!!
Okay...from the above, I've read one of the forums, a lot of people are saying that, it's a ghost who made the miracles. Know why? It's because they were all playing at Court 4. Court 4 was haunted by the ghost. Anyway...this is just only a gossip.
Hopefully our Malaysian men's double and women's single qualified to semi finals and of course FINAL. I bought the tickets for FINAL, so do not make me disappointed. Chill~
17 August 2007 Alright, this is really pissing me off. Our Malaysian men's double Koo Kian Keat and Tan Boon Heong unable to qualify to semi finals. And when I checked up their court. Once again, it's COURT 4!!! They were competing with Shuichi SAKAMOTO and Shintaro IKEDA from Japan which is currently ranking no.16. The scores are 21-13, 17-21 and 25-23. Sigh~ is COURT 4 really haunted by the ghost? Is it really just a gossip? Hmmm...who knows?
However, our final chance for Malaysia is Lee Wan Wah and Choong Tan Fook. Good luck to you guys.
18 August 2007 Cibai~ I fed up already! Please allow me to phuck around here. Mother phucker black ass hole!! Final chance for Malaysia men's double failed to qualify to FINAL!! Mutha phukka! Wasting my FINAL tickets! It's meaningless to watch the game without Malaysia in Final though. Sigh~~~ but anyway, I watched(live telecast from ASTRO Supersports at Mamak Stall) those Malaysian having a great match with Indonesian. The final scores were 22-20, 28-26. The 2nd match is phucking excited. Both the teams didn't want to give up. What a rally match after both the teams reached 20-20. Then, both the teams keep doing mistakes. Deuce...deuce...deuce and deuce!!! Finally...Indonesian won 28-26. Pity. Sigh~I'm gonna sell the tickets as soon as possible(shut the phucked up, who the hell is going to buy the ticket? Even RM20, no one is going to buy!!). Nevermind la, I can watch Lin Dan(actually I dulan him very much) too<----to comfort myself. Chill~
Why I dulan Lin Dan so much. Watch it and you will know! 1st video - This event was Malaysia Open 2006 at Kuching Stadium. Look at Lin Dan...not sporting at all after losing to Lee Chong Wei. Yeah...he did not want to wear that Ibans-made hat. And heard my brother who watched the event LIVE at Kuching saying that Lin Dan even threw the "big cheque" away very heavily. Hey...c'mon la. World ranking no.1 also human la...you're not GOD. But..It's quite funny while Chong Wei wore the hat. Hehe.
2nd video - Did not shake hand with his opponent(Chong Wei). Diao!
19 August 2007 It's final day for Badminton World Championships. Bye bye pal~. Now I'm freaking tired to write the blog because I'm hanging out with friends for almost 12 hours without going home to have a rest. I went to have my brunch at around 12.00p.m. After finished my brunch, I went to Putra Stadium directly.
Okay...let's shut the nonsense, let's talk about the matches in the stadium. Whoa! "People mountain people sea" that almost filled up the stadium's seats and I was sitting with a lot of Indonesia's audiences. My seat? I was sitting at Block L2, Row F, Seat 15. Fortunately...I was supporting the Indonesian players, hehe. What if I'm not? Hell no, I'll kena diao by those Indonesia supporter...joking. Hmmm~..quite enjoying the atmosphere though. Well, there's a bomoh(old man, which I heard someone saying that he's a bomoh) very very noisy and quite irritating but funny. I saw some messages written by him on a piece of manila card : "I DON'T LIKE THE NEW SCORES, I LIKE OLD SCORES. 22-20[X], 17-15[O]." What he meant here was, he dislike the new scoring system. Badminton's scores used to be 15 scores per match with service back but now, 21 scores per match without service back.
Alright, skip the nonsense again. Talk about Men's Single, Lin Dan vs Sony. For me, I'd like Sony to win the match but apparently he wasn't doing great during the 1st match. Keep doing mistakes and Lin Dan a lot of "macam-macam", keep asking the floor cleaner to clean the floor. His strategy to calm himself down? Maybe?! 2nd match, Sony did quite well and played very aggressively compared to the previous match. But in the end, lose again. 22-20. Pity of him.
Anyway, this is not important. The most important things is that, I didn't waste my ticket(RM53) because I got Lin Dan and Zhu Lin's autograph. It's AUTOGRAPH man!! Though I dulan Lin Dan quite a lot, at least he's World Ranking No.1, so, nevermind la. And umm...I even took his photos = ="". Oh oh...forgot to mention, I took some photos of cars LOTUS and Desire too. What the phuck? Hmmm~ Zhu Lin is really pretty. No pimples, fair skin, smooth and straight hair. I like it...my taste. Hehe... I'll post up the photos with autograph and so on.
1. Zhu Lin's Autograph.
2. Lin Dan's Autograph.
3. Zhu Lin during the final match against Wang Chen.
4. Lin Dan - time to get his autograph. Not very nice looking right? His face very square, but he's muscular.
5a. Side of LOTUS! Cool! I tried to open the door but it was locked.
5b. Front of LOTUS. Look at the front skirt, the hoods. My god.
6. DESIRE from side angle. Not a very good angle cuz the one standing in front of Desire kacao kacao punya, couldn't take the whole Desire.
7. Lin Dan in black versus Sony Dwi KUNCORO in red during Final.
8. Front door of Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil.
Damn~ 1.57 a.m already. I'm really phucking tired! Tomorrow I'm going to start my new life and start to do my revision(failed subjects). Okay~ good night to myself. Chill~
