no title

Hmm... I have no idea how to start this entry. The last entry was on 28th June. Whoaa. It's been more than a month since my last update. I'm getting rusty and lazier *sighs*

Anyhow, everything I did in the past month was:

• The application and submission of PTPTN
• Learning (and loving) HTML and Macromedia
• Listening continuously to Fall Out Boys's and Imagine Dragons's albums
• Going through individual assignments and tests
• The second year of Ramadhan at UiTM
• Creative process of yet another novel ideas
• Playing games like an addict

Okay. That's it. I'll keep you guys posted later on. Au revoir >.<

blackout

Yesterday (27 June, Thursday), Sarawak faced with the darkest hours yet. The news said it may originated from Bakun when a sudden drop of 456MW in power supply happened in the hydroelectric plant. Anyhow, while the blackout occurred, me and my roommates' friends went to CityOne. We were there to eat at Sia Foodcourt.

As usual, I'm eating Black Pepper Chicken Rice >.<

My roommate and his friend went to the arcade to play games. I decided to go to Popular to see if there were any novels that might attract me. Unfortunately, there weren't.

Look at them, just look at them

By the time we went back to UiTM, it was still pitch black. Thank god, the lights came around midnight just in time for me to sleep.

subjects' books

I was responsible for collection the money for the BEL311 books, which is EAP Crossing Borders. Ironically, I was also the one who didn't buy the book. Realizing that the lecturer insisted on having the book, I posted on Facebook about who wanted to sell their used BEL311 book. Guess what? Someone replied. Hehe. I bought the book with RM20 rather than the original RM40.

Later, I bought another book. This time, it's for CTU264. It costs RM17 and I bought it right away.

more novels

My friends and I went to our lecturer's office to help out with my friend's schedule. While we're there, our lecturer said we could have her collection of novels. Out of many novels there, only these three grabbed my attention. hihi

Charmed

Charmed is a story of three sisters (Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwells) receiving their powers of telekinesis, time freeze and premonition respectively. Ever since they obtained the Power of Three, their destiny as the Charmed Ones begin as various evil beings (warlocks, demons, etc.) tried to kill them every week. With the  growing powers of themselves and the Book of Shadows, they vanquished every evils that they fought. However, after the death of one of the sisters, they found out the existence of their fourth sister. The arrival of their half-sister, Paige Matthews, reconstituted the Power of Three.

From left to right: Phoebe, Prue, Piper and Paige

Why am I posting an entry about the Charmed Ones? Well, my roommate has the entire 8 seasons of it! Watching this is like watching the female version of Supernatural. Just with more siblings and the fact that they are witches. Hehe

my room

After 2 semester, I finally managed to set my foot (and the rest of my bags) to the well-known Block 6. Block 6 is specifically to place the MPP (Student Council), JPK (College Committee), and the dean list students. When I finally received my result, I decided to get a place here! Hehe. I have no roommate yet. So, I let my friend to be an illegal here. 

9GAG is so not funny anymore

Other than the reposts, 9GAG is not funny anymore. Hmm...

the day at UiTM

The traffic was horrible. There were cars everywhere. I had to use the back exit to get in. Haha >.<

I came to UiTM this morning to register for my room. Luckily, there was an officer in the office. I registered for the room numbered 6216. However, I can't get the key yet. I can only get the key on Saturday or Sunday. And I'm supposed to print out something that have my room number. Is it the Slip Pra Daftar? I should've asked before I went back home *sighs*

third semester

It took about 10 hours while it was supposedly took 8 hours and 15 minutes (according to the map) from Bintulu to Kuching. Of course, the bus will stop here and there for R&Rs. 

After the long gruelling hours of sitting, me and my family finally reached Kuching Sentral.

english books

I don't buy English materials often due to their high prices. However, if there are sales or discounts of the books, I waste no time to buy it right away.

My English treasure chest. Not everything is in here though. Some of the books are gargantuan to be put inside here.

apps

Ever since I have this phone, I started to download a lot of apps.

Gay social network apps are so helpful to find new friends. Hahaha >.<

Grindr, GROWLr, MISTER, Hornet, Jack'd, SCRUFF, and Bender are examples of many gay social network apps. I already downloaded Hornet, Jack'd, Grindr, Bender and GROWLr at the time I screen capture this picture.

Hornet is ambiguous. A guy actually threatened me to send pictures of my c*** - dumbass =.=" I like Jack'd, I found someone nice there. Grindr always crashes. Bender is err... I don't know how to put it. GROWLr is for bears.

Add my WeChat: safwan_hanif >.<

Below are the screenshots of the apps. The people are blurred because of privacy. Haha

Hornet

Jack'd

Bender

GROWLr

PC games

For the past few months, I've been slowly playing games more and more often. My first ever game was Diablo II (still loving it) but I can't get it played on my current laptop. The graphics went all blurry. Warcraft III comes shortly afterwards, I didn't got myself addicted to DoTA though. Since then, I downloaded many things like Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Silent Hill 2, Doom 3, Torchlight, Torchlight 2.

I got more games from my friends; Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Red Alert 3, Dead Island, The Walking Dead.

I bought (because I'm too lazy to download) Silent Hill Homecoming, Resident Evil 5, Assassin's Creed II, Prototype and just today: Prototype 2. I already finished the first four games, I just started playing Prototype 2 now. Is there any other games for PC that's new out there?

My genre is between RPG, FPS, survival horror, and open world. As long as the game gives me the freedom of killing/destroying anything, I'm gonna play it.

zipper tie

Every time my friends taught me how to tie a neck tie, I tried my best to understand. However, each time I wanted to do it on my own, I failed - miserably.

I'm still on my way to collect these ties.

new IC

I just got my new IC!

I have two faces! Look at it! Look at it! Haha

books and more books

The Sarantine Mosaic by Guy Gavriel Kay

The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún by J. R. R. Tolkien

Look at the freakin' prices! As a bookwhore (because bibliophile sounds like a paraphilia), I need to get my hands on these. Even though I found a novel that I've searched for quite a while, these "Great Offers" made me buy these books instead. I guess I'll buy the novel later. I hope no one bought that novel yet, since there was only one copy of it at the time I found it. 

days at the Peninsular

UiTM provided buses for the convocation

I don't remember much. I just remember that I met someone during the stay at Tree Boutique. Hehe. There was a lot of people right across the street due to the convo. We went to Jakel. It was heaven for my mom. Me and my sister went to Berjaya Times Square and Plaza Low Yat just the day before her graduation day. We took the KTM and the Monorail since Shah Alam and Kuala Lumpur isn't exactly reachable by walking.

My sister!

After the convocation ended, me and my family went to Palace Hotel. Shopped many things while we're there. I think I just bought an entire new wardrobe *sighs* Oh hell do I care. Thank god the luggage didn't exceed the maximum weight. 

I think that just it.

hotels

During my stay for my sister's convo~ We will be staying at Tree Boutique and Palace Hotel.

Tree Boutique website. 

Palace Hotel website. 

ADHD

My parents insisted on me buying new shoes. Probably because mine was already worn out. You see, I'm the type of guy who can NEVER sit still. I think I have ADHD. Hahaha. I feel awkward and stupid if I just sat and did nothing. I need to do something. Another reason why I always stuffed my ears with earphones - I'm subconsciously telling myself that I'm doing something - listening to music. Anyhow, I'm don't like being pressured into doing things I don't want. I ended up buying these shoes. I hope I won't regret it later.

Never heard of the brand before. Googled it and nothing came out. "wow"

I just got my first certificate. I haven't booked the date for my test yet since I'll be going away for my sister's convo. But hey, the certificate is valid until next year. haha. By the way, you can use the address to send my gifts >.<

I love eating corn. Does it will make me corny? Hm...

driver's license

The eligible age to get a driving license for cars is 17. I'm going to 19 and about to take it. Better late than never eh? hehe. I just started this course on 12 May at Akademi Memandu Bintulu Sdn Bhd. There were a lot of people with different ages in the class. And I met with a friend of mine there. yay! I'm not alone >.<

I have to learn this~ >.<

For more information about this: JPJ.

IMEI

My dad bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace. I liked it. So far it doesn't show anythings bad. It's my first smartphone and touch screen phone. I'll promise I'll take good care of it, dad! >.<

IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. I checked it's IMEI number just to check whether my new phone is a real deal or not. You just need to type *#06# on your phone. It's IMEI is 355836055526378. 05 is my seventh and eighth number. The seventh and eight number are the FAC (Final Assembly Code) number.

According to Marks PC Solution, if the seventh and eighth digits are 05 or 50 this indicates your cell phone is manufactured either in Brazil or USA or Finland. Commented again by the author of the article, Abdur Rahaman, "As manufactured in Brazil, USA or Finland quality should be fine."

The list below shows the FAC for known manufacturers.
02 or 20 - Emirates which is very poor quality. (NB: Some Indian sets have this number)
08 or 80, manufactured in Germany which is fair quality.
01 or 10, manufactured in Finland which is high quality.
00-  this indicates your cell phone is manufactured in Original Factory which ensures the best quality.
03/30 or 04/40, made in China but its quality is good. But not good either as 00, 01 or 10.
05 or 50, manufactured either in Brazil or USA or Finland.
06 or 60, manufactured either in Hong Kong, or China or Mexico.
13, assembled in Azerbaijan which is too bad. And it is also dangerous for health!

Mutant Girls Squad

Just watched this. Decided to post about it. Not good with reviews. But I liked this movie.

One of the scene

Tentacle rape~~

I'm downloading The ABCs of Death >.<

semester 2 result

I woke up early this morning because someone called me. I don't know who it was because I didn't have the caller ID. Just when I tried to get back to sleep, a friend of mine texted me; how was your result? Like it or not, I woke up, showered, dressed and went straight to the laptop.

My Result. Hehe. Finally >.<

I have no idea what to write. So, I'm gonna share to you about my favourite drinks! >.<






I love HL. Whenever I come home from holidays, my parents always had at least one of these three stocked up in the fridge. hehe

Whenever I go out to eat, my friends will know exactly what I'll order for a drink: Iced Milo.

Another one is Soya! My favourite drink ever since I was little. Aside from Milo that is. Hehehe

novels

I'm starting to read novels again. After weeks of non-productive things, I'm back putting on my reading glasses again to read.

This is the old novels. I haven't had time to take a picture of my newest novels yet >.<

At least now I can't complained of getting bored. Since I have so many books and ebooks that I haven't read yet *sigh*

Me and my friends went to the mall, KFC, Farley, and finally to Tanjung Batu. We'll be going out next week too! yay! Can't wait to get my new phone. hehe

24 April

I have no idea what to name this entry.

I woke up early because I want to change my IC. Me and my family went to the registration office to change it. Just like the first time I made my IC, the fingerprint detector couldn't detect my fingerprint *sighs*

I went to Popular to get my card. Now I have two Popular cards!

I managed to persuade my dad into buying me a new phone. yay!

This is the sequel of my previous post all the way back from April 15, 2011; Aku dan Button.

I want a new phone

My friend picked me up at my home at 1 P.M. and I wasn't ready yet since they told me it was supposed to be 2 P.M. last night. Anyhow, our first destination is the Parkcity Mall. There, I spotted a gallery of mobile phones. The BB my sis gave had its track pad damaged and it haven't been repaired yet. Suddenly, this idea came into my head: why don't I just persuade my dad to buy a new one? A new phone~ hehe

We went to Citypoint later for karaoke~ After that, we went to Tanjung Batu to relax.

I want a new phone. Samsung~

Oh, before I forgot, I'll be taking my drivers' license this May. 12 May to be exact. Finally! >.<

gay

As usual, I was strolling around in 9GAG. And I found this. Haha

games

I loves zombie games. Or anything similar to it. I've been playing Left4Dead for the entire semester until my final exams. At the start of my final exams, I've been playing Dead Island instead. Now that my finals are over, I've already completed playing it twice. As Logan and Sam.

Once I came home to Bintulu, I realized that Torchlight II already finished downloading - months ago. hehe. I got it installed in my laptop and now I'm playing it. Embermage!

I need more games for this holiday! >.<
