Some of you may already know that my Macbook HD fucked up last few days. It was a normal night and I just went out for a while to hang out with some friends at the basketball court (okay that’s nowhere near normal actually), to return to my room when suddenly my Macbook wouldn’t start – at all. I’ve read somewhere that when the progress bar appears on the boot screen, there might be some problems. After several force restarts, the Macbook still died on me. Thankfully I have an extra laptop with me, a Windows laptop, so it is easier for me to look for solutions online while trying to fix the issue. None are working.

I tried safe boot by pressing Shift (or Shift+Cmd+V) on start, the Macbook died in the process. I put in the Leopard installation disk and use the Disk Utility to verify and repair the disk – no luck. I read about target disk mode, but I don’t know where to get anyone with a Macbook at that moment. I almost gave up. I don’t care about the hard disk. I just want my files. Some new files are not synced yet into my Dropbox or my external hard disk. It was a bad timing. I was trying to avoid resorting to reformat the hard disk.

We went to the Youth Festival last weekend for a short post-final-exam trip. I don’t really bother about the events. It was OK. But I’m glad that we met some people there. Thanks to ajinda for being our tour guide throughout the day!  First stop, Eightyfourcube booth, of course.

Super cool. Finally managed to take photo with the idol, Mr Art:tech I bought some postcards of his artworks too. I wish there were somekind of posters or something.

I went to the nearest wifi spot just now to upload this new theme. What can I say, the high-tech infrastructure of UTP internet doesn’t allow FTP or cPanel access. Anyhow, I started working on it bit by bit during the study week. I just feel like the previous theme is not really my type. So here it is.

By the way, the final exam is finally over. Next one will be the preparation for my FYP presentation. But I want to take some time to do some redesign works, and other works that are really worth doing, outside of the academic circle, first. And oh, I’ll be going to the Youth Festival on Saturday and/or Sunday. Say hi if you see me or blank172!

Finished two subjects for final exam. Another two this coming Wednesday and Thursday. Then working on FYP oral presentation. Can’t wait for the holiday ! *ps; This is just a filler to push the previous post down. Feel weird to see my face everytime I open my blog haha

That’s my latest tshirt!

Final exam first paper will be this coming Saturday. By then, I have to cut my hair, again. Or else I can’t get into the exam hall. Fuu. A quick photoshoot to ‘preserve’ the hair. haha yeah right.

I want to create a web application, just for the fun of it.

Yeap, that is one of my items under the “Things to do after I graduated from UTP” list. I have been wanting to be in a group of people, developing some fun stuff for the web. It almost happen few years back, but that didn’t take off pretty well.

I have this web app, among few others, I developed for fun inside my local server. I even have all the documentation and stuff. Berangan nak release la konon. I showed this to Bat during my stay at his house last year. Yeah, I know, this looks pretty basic, and file management maybe suck, and not following object oriented MVC thingy. But it is something fun. I even created my own Twitter on this machine, and used it among my housemates inside the network, last year. haha

I hope I will have the time to continue this dream. Maybe next year.
