Lolx...in my recent assignment one of the tasks is too sign up for a Stumbleupon account so taht we can search for more info....And before i actually signed up with my assignment e-mail ( newly made e-mail to prevent spams juz for assg) i tried it wif my actual e-mail...n randomly tried out the application...This is WHAT I FOUND~!! XD This one is mainly on operating systems there are other topics as well...-> XD


COMPUTER STUPIDITIES: Operating Systems
Most computer users understand that you need an operating system to use a computer practically, even if it is not clear why. But many users don't.


  • Tech Support: "May I ask what operating system you are running today?"
  • Customer: "A computer."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Tech Support: "What version of Windows are you running?"
  • Customer: "I got the computer in 2003, so I think it's a Windows 2003. Or maybe it's a Windows 2004? I got it late in the year."
  • Tech Support: "Um, ok."
  • Customer: "Is that wrong?"
  • Tech Support: "No, no, that sounds about right. Tell me, would you know what service pack you have for that?"
  • Customer: "Well, when I got to the register, the young man who rang me up said was about the 5th person to buy it. So it might be service pack 5."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer: "I don't use DOS. What would happen if I deleted that directory?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • My Friend: "I just installed Windows 98."
  • Me: "Cool. But...it's 2001. Why not Windows 2000 or wait for XP to come out?"
  • My Friend: "Oh, 98 is more easily hacked, so I want it."
  • Me: "You want to get hacked?"
  • My Friend: "Yes! Wouldn't you?"
  • Me: "No...."
  • My Friend: "When you get hacked you get a lot of money! That's a good thing!"
  • Me: "???"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Friend: "I heard about this thing called 'Linux'."
  • Me: "Oh, I use Linux."
  • Friend: "What is it?"
  • Me: "An operating system."
  • Friend: "Like Firefox?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend: "Does Windows 98 support Linux?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer: "Do you sell Mac OS X for Windows?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overheard in a classroom:
  • Student: "How much do Windows cost, and do you have to buy each one separately?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Customer: "How much do Windows cost?"
  • Tech Support: "Windows costs about $100."
  • Customer: "Oh, that's kind of expensive. Can I buy just one window?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Friend: "Hey, cool Mac! Does it have Windows!?"
  • Me: (incredulous stare)
  • Friend: "Oh, wait, that was stupid. All Macs have Windows."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Tech Support: "What version of Windows do you have installed?"
  • Customer: "... Double glazed."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A customer called in with modem problems.
  • Tech Support: "Ok, we're going to check your modem settings. First thing we need to do is make sure all programs are closed."
  • Customer: "How do I know if everything is closed?"
  • Me: "Make sure all windows are closed."
  • Customer: "But...I'm in the basement. I don't have any windows here."
Lucky me, I made it to the the mute button in time!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overheard in a software shop:
  • Woman #1: "What this Linux thing?"
  • Woman #2: "It's a program that if you have it on your computer, you can't turn the computer off."
  • Woman #1: "Oh."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I saw two older looking ladies trying to figure out the computers at a local store. I knew one of them would say something that I could send to Computer Stupidities, so I tried to listen in.
  • Woman 1: "What is that little trash can on the screen?"
  • Woman 2: "My son says that is call the 'recycle bin'. He tells me when I don't want a Word document anymore and I delete it, it really goes in there."
  • Woman 1: "Why in the recycle thingy? Can't you just erase it?"
  • Woman 2: "Oh no, Word wouldn't work for very long if I did that, I would run out of blank pages."
  • Woman 1: "Why?"
  • Woman 2: "Because it cleans the words off the pages, then sends the blank sheets back to Word so they can be used again. That's why it's called the recycle bin."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are part of the funny situations....XD LOLX.....

遊戯王!Gx


遊戯王!Gx デュエルモンスターズ (Duel Monsters)
Season 2 of  遊戯王!Yu-Gi-Oh! (i know there is also season 3 but ohh well...this one is about season2)
Not a new release (duh....)

BEWARE....SPOILERS!!

Summary:
If you know about Yu-Gi-Oh! already, then here is my description-->
Overall these are the points
 New cards, more focused on fusion(yu-go) as the main character Yuuki Judai uses a E-hero deck which is also a fusion deck....later in the episode his deck changes to be partial e-hero and partial Neo series (with e-hero Neos as his Ace monster, well...its still a full blast fusion deck coz neos can combine with many types of monsters to form many MANY different forms)


Academy plot/ story/scene, slightly different with the 1st season, which occurs outside of school, quite a lot of the duels occurs IN the academy itself (duel academy...duhh...XD) one of the highlights is the entrance duel whr judai vs kuronos (duno how to spell n forgotten d) and the graduation duel of judai vs kaiser ryo~ (>3< KAISER-SAMA~~~!!!), tag duel judai & asuka vs rei? & dino(da yellow guy with a t-rex cap)....


UChuuujin~ (Aliens) , u know the old series was all about history rite? so now we have aliens~ XD example neos from neo spacian (a planet sumwhr outer space), and the force from outer space as the villians etc~


most importantly... HANEKURIBOH!! (winged kuriboh ~~ X3 if u liked kuriboh in the 1st series~ u'll also like this one~)


If you duno what is Yu - Gi -Oh!, I suggest u watch the 1st series 1st so that u can be more familiar with the duelling system and cards effects~ but i'll just summarize the main point of both seasons,
1. card battle (duel)
2. duelist ( people who play cards)
3. monsters ( u can summon monsters~ eg. Blacku Magician Shokkan!! )
4. setting traps & using magic cards ( u can set trap cards & use magic cards to boost support ur deck)
5. strategy ( the nice part of watching these series is getting awed *,* by the possible strategies in countering & attacking & winning)
6. friendship ( a second point y i liked it its coz it emphasized how important and nice friendship can be T,T touching sometimes)
7. believe ( totally shows how much a person can do if he believe XD...in the shows it is presented by believing in ur cards, but i think it can be applied in real life as one must believe in his/her dreams, goals, friends, family and urself!!)
note: I highly recommend the jap version (watch it with subs if u dun understand) over the english version (no cut out scene, epic!!, nice voice!!)
but ppl have their own preferences >.>..oh well

so that sums it up~~ now~~ picha time~~ XD

E-heros and hanekuriboh~~


Neos and other neos series monsters~ frankly speaking, neos is also an e-hero =/



johan (pronounced as yohan) and his monsters~ the card on the right is Rainbow Dragon~~ one of the super uber rare cards in Gx~



Kaiser ryo and Cyber End Dragon!!~~~~ feel the power of mecha deck!!! (thr's one episode sumore at the yubel/ha-oh arc whr kaiser's cyber end dragon reached 90000 att :3 ...one word to describe... AWESOME *,*)

GOD CARDS!!!....every season has a set of 3 gods~ in this season its Hamon, Uria and Raviel~ (left to right) not as WOW as yugi's egyptian gods but not bad~ (personally i liked uria among thie three)

WARNING BIG SPOILER!!!: 



(FINAL EPISODE : YUGI/ YAMI YUGI VS JUDAI)





OSIRIS VS NEOS!!

ps: ONE LAST WARNING!! yu-gi-oh can be veeeeeeeeery long (up to 100 or even 200 episode with many arcs...so i suggest u take breaks between each arc so that u dun get so bored)

SHOWDOWN 2010 (update)

oh yeah...Wakaka crew won....= =....they even performed with waka waka eh eh~ ...maybe coz its da wrld cup dat they won...or maybe they had more supporters....T.T but personally i prefer Floor Fever ( who went into the finals) and Giller Battle Crew (who nearly won...=.=)...during the finals, they chose based on number of votes..FF which is VERY GOOD but had less supporters were out...leaving GBC and WKK...They went through the FINAL battle...(u can call it final showdown if u wan..)...where all the votes before were set bac to zero.....voting results r up and WKK won..simple as dat...=.=....well...i m not criticizing WKK for being bad...they're  good i admit it...but i tot GBC is BETTER...dats' all...personal view...everyone has different aspects rite?...haihzz......=.,=

Kaichou wa Maid-sama!

Well, it's been a long time since i have uodated this blog...XP...sorry my bad...kinda lazy to do so since i can't really think of what to write...so maybe i'll start off with an introduction on a new manga i've been engrossed with lately?...Presenting...Kaichou wa Maid-sama!! 会長はメイドー様!

Let's start off with how i came to know about this manga...i only started reading recently even though i've previously saw it somewhere before (which i can't remember where). I remember reading one chapter somewhere in the middle and it was hilarious! so i tried searching for the title...I saw it 2 times the 1st was when my dad bought a Shonen JUMP from japan ( YES!! JAPAN!..too bad i wasn't the one thr..), obviously i asked him to randomly buy any one.....then i was juz flipping through admiring the mangas then a few titles caught my eyes which one of them is THIS!....My 2nd encounter was when i was reading through a chinese weekly manga magazine 漫画周刊 and spot it again! (exactly da same chapter but different timing...oh well..) so i tot i wana look for it when i was borrowing mangas...tried about 10 time or more every time i visit any comic shop...unfortunately...no sign of it...




Well guess what? ...recently when i went out with some frenz...we were somehow talking bout free mangas online and recommended Kaichou wa Maid-sama ...The moment i heard maid-sama i got excited coz i remembered the chinese name was sumthing sumthing related...XD...so i immediately went to the website n scan through the popular titles~....Lucky for me... IT IS THE ONE!!!...so far it already released about 51 chapters and 52 is coming out soon...i juz finished all of it in like 5 days? or was it 3?....(neglecting the fact of going to school and eating and sleeping)....ITS A NICE ONE!!! SO....I would oso recommend it..^^...i m not gona tell u wats it about because that is for U to find out...XD but dun worry i'll put up some pics....hehehe!!





ps/hint : ohh btw...there was also the anime ...so far 18episodes...not finished... ^.^ and...This is NOT ur normal maid....AND USUI TAKUMI n AYUZAWA MISAKI is sooooo COOL!!
