Dead Power Supply

5 days ago, Krunk died. All the rumors that he’s been killed, that he stared doing drugs, that he’s dropped out of college, that he’s been eaten, that he’s enter complete depression weren’t too far from the truth. On 4/13/2002 (that date shall be imprinted in Krunk’s mind forever), Krunk became powerless and died. Not one day has Krunk ever felt so weak, so feeble, so frail. For the past 5 days, he’s been wandering around helplessly, looking for his soul. There was no longer meaning in life. He tried to stop and sleep, but there was something missing and he lay wide awake the entire night. But today, Krunk’s been resurrected. God has once again perform a miracle. Krunk was completely intact. What happened???

On Saturday morning when I was in the shower, there was a BOOM! (sounded like a heavy object that fell off my desk as witness damion recalled). When I returned, my computer had magically shut off by itself and there was a scent of something burning. I was like “uh oh…”. Push the power, no response. Thought (actually more like hope) the surge protector popped, but nope, everything was still powered. Push the power button a few more times, but was hopelessly out of luck. After a brief search, I found my power supply had blown its fuse. Then the torture came. I don’t mind using other people’s computers, but my computer is like my soul. I can’t just share it with someone else. My computer lied there lifeless for 5 days and each and every day life got more boring and painful. There was just nothing to do besides watch TV which I got sick of really fast. At night when I was trying to go to sleep, all I heard was the humming of the refrigerator and that annoyed me. Where’s the humming of my computer, the perfect white noise for a computer geek like me. It was a sad tragedy, maybe comparable to a greek tragic epic.
Monday’s mail came: no power supply
Tuesday’s mail came: no power supply
Wednesday’s mail came: FINALLY!!!
I was so happy, I ran home (my dorm) and ripped open the package and installed the baby in. However, happiness always comes with consequences: skipped both my project meeting and midterm for CS. But hey, what in life is free? Hehe.

I also got a new mouse today. Really sleek looking. Click here to check it out. Guess how much it cost? Hehe, I’ll let you guess but won’t tell you the answer. ;p

Oh yeah, I may seem weird for the next couple days, but bear with me. The secret will be revealed on Saturday or Sunday.

Shots!

my friend goshtic sent me this link. A funny parody of one of my favorite songs: Harry Chapin – Cats in the Cradle.

Today was great! Went to sleep @ 7am and woke up @ 3pm for class. It’s 6:35am as I speak right now. My whole suite got drunk last nite (well, most of it because when the girls are gone, the guys will play) you should’ve seen their reaction after they took their shots. Everyone claim that their throat was burning and stuff. Very funny.

The remainder of my day wasn’t too exciting. Had some insightful chat with my buddy liam. Sigh. One word: girls. Sigh and sigh some more.

Stop hogging all the ugly

they’re finally over! YAY!!! Both MTs went pretty smoothly. I hope I did well. And right now, I’m really hungry. Hmmmm, I think I’ll go look for dinner.

Btw, I finally did it. YES!!! Link (click the link to find out what I did) A bit expensive, but worthy to be one of Krunk’s toys.

I recently also realized KOST 103.5 has a live internet station also. The more the merrier! Wished KROQ 106.7 would have a live internet station. The station has been added to the left menu.

Addition: (names have been remove to protect them from something, can’t seem to remember what that something is. hehe)
Guy: Stop hogging all the sheets.
Girl: Stop hogging all the ugly.
Guy: I’ll trade you some ugly for some sheets.
Girl: Deal.

Babies are not dumb smaller versions of adults

don’t think I’ll be posting a pic of the week for this week. Been too busy with midterms. Have 2 tomorrow (Thursday – physics and math). Wish me luck! ^_^x (and yes, I’m actually studying now)

“Babies are not dumb smaller versions of adults. They are quite intelligent infact.” – pscyh teacher.

Uploaded 2 new sets of pictures to DotPhoto (click on photo album) on the right. I found out how fun comments can be. There’s currently 3 stories: Ralph’s Visit, Christina Yeung’s Visit, and Beach Trip. Open the album and click the 1st picture and click next for the next slide. More stories will follow, but it’s 3am and I have a MT in 5 hrs so needta sleep. Enjoy & G’nite ^_^zzz

Midterms :(

didn’t sleep @ all last nite and went to my first breakfast of the semester with ohfuee and damion. Came back to sleep from 9-11 and woke up and finished math hw due Wednesday. Math54 (linear alg.) is so much easier than Math53 (multivariable calc). oh yea! I didn’t even tell you why I was up all nite. Despite what you might’ve assumed, no I didn’t watch anime all night. Stupid Math53 hw took so LONG!!! I was so mad and frustrated about the hw the entire time and was so happy when I finally finished it. I did watch 3 anime episodes in between breaks, hehe.

I recalled crabyaple asking me about a protest @ Berkeley several days earlier about the current situation about Israel and Palestine and I was like “what the heck are u talking about?” I also remember him claiming we didn’t know what was happening @ our school. The thing was nothing did happened then and the protest was scheduled for today. There was a sit-in @ wheeler and it was quite a site. This was the first protest I witnessed @ Berkeley. @ the end, the police ended up arresting everyone because people were starting to get violent.

After dinner today, I slept like a little white sheep deep in his own world. Apparently pikachu was messing with me during my sleep cause he ended on the other end of the bed when I woke up. Woke up @ 12am and ohfuee came over and I helped him with Math1B (calcBC). And now it’s 5:44am and the question comes up again, should I stay awake till breakfast? Or should I go to sleep? Wait… Hikaru no Go 23 is out! Gotta watch that now. Hehe. ^_^x

Evans

going to leave yesterday’s news up since I wasn’t able to post it last nite (fell asleep @ 2am – lousy 1 hr lost). I found out something very shocking. The latest suicide was actually someone I knew. Not know personally, but I’ve chatted with him a few times, one of my anime buddies. His alias online was starspyre. Cuneodogg also told me Evans is the building with the 2nd highest suicidal rate in the US. Just during my time here, there’s already been 2 deaths.

My theory is that Evans is some government conspiracy where it’s the central processing unit of some big robot where all the buildings in Berkeley will go beneath the ground and emerge as a SUPER ROBOT. Evans is already the mainframe of the entire internet around this area. However, some unlucky individuals discover this secret and were killed by government agents that masked the murders as suicides. A friend even suggested that campanile could be the robot’s sword. Hehe.

Oh well, back to hw. Yuck yuck!!! ;o(

Being Lazy

Sorry I didn’t update over the weekend. It was because I lost that hour and totally messed my schedule. Went to sleep @ 9:30am on Sunday morning. Anyways, gomen gomen. ^_^x

This weekend was weird, not just about the lost hour, but everything in general. I had no motivation to do anything besides entertain myself. ZERO hw was accomplished during the weekend. I spent the entire weekend watching anime and hanging out with friends:

Friday Night – Rewatched 13 episodes of Hikaru no Go with mecha.
Saturday – Went to In-N-Out for dinner and then headed to the beach. Beach was freezing cold, but I got tons of cool shots. Will post them up later.
Saturday Night – Continued my journey of Berserk (anime). I just realized how good the music is. Here’s some examples: earth | forces | gatsu. The anime series ended and I had to read the manga to continue the story. Realized my version of the manga wasn’t complete.
Sunday – Spent the entire day reading the Berserk manga. Boby bear came over later and I helped him with his CS project.

Btw, new episode of Hikaru no Go came out, and you know what that means. ^_^x

Psych Midterm

Psych midterm is over!!! Yay!~ Remember about precision and accuracy in chem? Well, mecha and I have a somewhat high precision, but we both believe our accuracy was low since both of us felt worse coming out of this midterm than our first one and our first one we both got 50% (F). Well, I got lower, but that’s not the point. Hehe.

Christina and Connie came up to visit today (separately tho, so it was a coincidence). Pictures will come later.

So tired… 6:20am gotta sleep. Maybe I’ll add more tomorrow… g’nite ^_^zzz

Fight

sorry about yesterday. Didn’t realized I forgot to upload my website to the server. Therefore I have 2 news for today.

Today was a really weird day. For the first time, I saw good friends fight. Not physical nor verbal, but internally. Actions that describe their internal feelings. Like over a TV, normally we just share and whoever is using it usually gets priority, unless they really need it. But some huge drama occurred today and some silent treatment and some bashing of others in front of others. Sigh…

Watched “Spirited Away” today. Really good anime. Another one of Hayao Miyazaki’s work. If you don’t know who he is, most of you should know his most famous work: Princess Mononoke (aka Mononoke Hime). PreyX found an interesting article about this. I think I just dug my own grave. ;p

AIM+

nothing much happened today. Got this new program though called AIM+. Here’s a screenshot of it:

aim+ screenshot

Besides the cool fading effects (aka the semi-transparent effect), it removes the ads and keeps a log of all your conversations. I just recalled that Windows 2k and XP support see through windows and with programs like Windows Blinds, you can have all your windows semi-transparent.

Elbandmonkey told me a secret today. Let’s stop there before I ruin the surprise. -_^x
