Intel's Postboard of Life

Moving

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:35:00 +0000

Okay. I've relocated to www.satriakid.blogspot.com for easy access and also, name wise.

Don't wanna get sued by Intel, even if I can prove to them I'm a diehard fan of them (used to). XD

Update your links.

Hrm, bored. Not having much ideas of what to write here, so here goes more picture spam instead.

Enjoy.

PS: I'm still around. Just, no idea what to write.

The End is Near

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:41:00 +0000

Uni's going to kick start again soon, very soon. Haven't been doing much for the past weeks. Owh well. Least my brain has already been kicked into study mode weeks back due to a supplementary paper resit. Pray I'll pass that.

Cloud using Phoenix Down on his ally, while fighting Reno from Shin-Ra.

Been helping out the gangs at Boulevard for the CosVention which was quite successful. Met one KL friend who came back, Uepu.

Wasn't expecting much either since it was a first in East Malaysia, aside from Sabah I guess. Everything was kind of wrong. They were repeating Yui's song to the extend of me getting sick of my own favourite singer@songwriter. Should have a mix. And people singing Chinese song. So much for an Anime/Manga Con. We need more Jrock or Jpop.

Was surprise to see the amount of people who were actually interested in cosplay turned up, aside from the usual gang of people I know of. Think should really stir the interest here. Lots of people are interested in it, aside from people who really poke on it and being a pessimist about it.

One rarely get to see this stuff up close as it is quite a rare sight in Kuching. And not many people know how to get it. Even people come and ask if we were even selling this stuff which was only on display.

Heck, even those older than us were also involve in cosplaying, to the extend of bleaching and dying their hair like this dude here. Kudos to him for doing so.

Owh well. Enough for me.

For those in Kuching, and are interested in this stuff like cosplay and anime/manga related culture, there will be an similar event on the:

tHe Spring Mall
15th August 2009
No idea what time yet.

Sarawak Plaza
16th August 2009
I heard was somewhere in the afternoon.

Shopping malls now are really interested in doing this stuff since it really drag in the crowds. But heck, using it as a promotional tool to get business, we'll use it as an opportunity to spread the culture and awareness to the members of the public, aside from more Chinese songs.....

=\ Enough rants. Best get some shut eye. Ciaos.

Moving

Hello readers,

I am thinking of moving my blog to a new url address as it is more appropriate as I the current name is under Intel's product line. So much for my diehard fan-ness of me.

What is your opinion?

Aside from that. Some more pictures to show you I'm still updating, though not so often. =3 And new watermark for now, as it is less intrusive compared to my previous one. And I like this more.

Haha. Enjoy.

Sunset Panoramic Kuching

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 18:20:00 +0000

Yo, how's everyone. Doubt much people read my blog, cept for looking at the pictures. Anyway, was freed from the clutches of the evil assignments and reports and freedom for a breather for a few days, went out shooting with a few buddies of mine so enjoy the photos.

Sunset. Using it as my wallpaper currently. Grab it if you like it. Just click on the picture. Remember, CC2 licence.

Now, back to studies and revision for finals!

Holiday, here I come.

Tara~

3/4 Dead

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Thu, 21 May 2009 03:20:00 +0000

Well, life ain't what it used to be. So much ups and downs this time, and also, stuff happened which makes everything feels like one is standing on an ice sheet, never knowing when it will blob or even sink away or worst, give way.

Uni has been on its usual fits of tortures and evilness. This time, was armed and ready, almost.

Crappy shot. Just wanted to show ya'll how I had been doing my work. T_T But its a nice way to work. Less alt-tabbing between browsers, documents and slides.

Aside from that, managed to sneak in some time to shoot something. Feels like somewhat degraded and improved on some part of my skills. =\

I love this shot. Empty but nice.

HDRish in a way, I think... *friend said it looks normal.*

Cute dog.

Another shot I love. Also empty.

Hot chocolate, but not that nice. Tasted better. *Bali~*

Hrm. Okay. Now I'm bored.

I would like to thank a friend who borrowed me to fiddle around with their camera, this time, a Canon 40D. In my opinion, its a good camera. I love the grip compare to Canon's lower offerings (no hard feelings Canoners), and feels pretty solid. Dual it up against the Nikon d80, its a little tad heavier (minus the lens of course). Shutter sounds pretty different too.

Anyway, need to head back to uni again later for a meeting. And tomorrow night, my relatives are coming and I will be in near hell again for CRM final report for my finals.

Argh. Impeccable timing.

Canon 50D anyone? =D

Oops

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:53:00 +0000

Ahiaks~ I accidently messed the settings on blogger, ended up locking the blog instead. Sorry fellow readers/lurkers/stalkers.

Btw, no pictures for today. |_|

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 10:01:00 +0000

Work, assignment and studies. How would life be without it? With minor assignments going to due soon, pretty much quite contented with what I have been doing, except the part of online discussion which is too damn formal, for what prefer from doing. Formalities should be exercised and used but at times, drop it. Makes things easier.

Doing some sketches for assignment. Talk about drawing. Miss the days when I last drew.

Now, I seriously need to carpool. There aren't enough spaces to go around for the new kids on the block nowadays.

Think my post is a bit weird. Owh well. XD I love life! Seriously.

PS: Notice there isn't a title? I'm out of idea for a title. Least blogger allows that.

Week 1

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 05:31:00 +0000

Week 1 of uni wasn't that bad consider I'm in my final year already.

Met up with quite a few people, rekindle friendship and met even more new people.

Assignment has already hit us hard as I need to submit an idea in another 2 weeks time so been cracking my head for a number of days.

Owh well, looking forward to classes then.

Radioactive Drink

Enjoy~

Another Beginning

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 11:12:00 +0000

Uni has started and wasn't so eventful. Managed to catch up with some old friends who were back and running around attending lectures and classes (wait, on a first week? Oh well.)

Weather was fine before that, then it just poured. Not that I'm complaining but hot weather couple with a crazy rain (Hey, welcome to Kuching) which never lasted for an hour (usually it does) and you get a very humid and wet air.

Bah, rained and stopped. What the... （￣へ￣）

After attending lectures, I reluctantly went home cause lecture was cut short due to a PC-less tutorial class. Besides, the lecturer has already prepared the stuff on slides, so wasted some time talking crap and stuff with the lecturer instead.

Home, this is how the weather was.

Around 30 mins or so later.

There.

The holidays have been fun, minus the boring part of doing nothing for days on end. Entertained myself on animes and music and my NDS games (Chrono Trigger is nice, so is Zelda and FF4 but all is near its end and I didn't want to finish them).

Had a few outings

A few gathering with a bunch of people

Some nice shots

And lovely mother nature doing her thing she's good at

Some boring outings also not to mention

And not so-much-fun Chinese New Year also. Feels like some other day.

Missing KL, or more precisely, Selangor

Drinking with my cousin

And the fun I had with my cousins

What a life.

PS: I noticed I haven't updated my sidebar. Owh well.

Around

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 13:26:00 +0000

I'm still around. Just nothing to post/blog about. Not much pictures to show because have not been shooting much lately due to the rain and more rain and rain.

Been quite bored so when the sun was up, went to take a few shots of something which I have wanted to do for months but never took the initiative to do it.

Uni is about to start. At last, something to do.

Titleless

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 16:50:00 +0000

Well, CNY is here and since I'm quite late, Happy Chinese New Year to those celebrating and happy holidays to those who aren't (well, its already the 3rd day so most of those working are back working already.)

Enjoy the shot I took on the eve's of the Lunar New Year.

=D

Indulgence

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 16:58:00 +0000

Result is out, apparently passed everything and everything is in order. So, had to have some something to celebrate about.

Last year has been well, and pray it will be better this year.

Don't drool over your keyboard.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 05:01:00 +0000

As said on the title. Cheers people!

PS: I know this is late.

PC-less

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:51:00 +0000

Out traveling and no computer to use.

Went out with Atzie and had fun, cept bloody Yes Man movie was darn potong-stim (KL Slang) and the movie ended abruptly. But I got to give it to GSC their seats are really nice and comfortable. Sad I was freezing my ass off due to the air-conditioning though.

Nothing much except Christmas is near.

Clueless

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 16:13:00 +0000

Nothing much happening except going out for yam cha during the nights with a few friends from KL most of the time. Aside from that, holiday seems boring.

Really need something to shoot.

Looking forward to Wednesday outing.

Just something out of random found from my hdd. Enjoy.

Back and... Missing

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 15:25:00 +0000

Owh well, nothing much to blog about. Lifes been.... dull ever since finals was over. Maybe something new in a few days time.

Anyway, just some stuff I dug up from all those pictures I have taken but no time to process. Converting RAW to jpgs are pain.

Enjoy.

Finals Has Arrived

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 15:19:00 +0000

Dead from dreaded assignments and short semester (somehow) and also, super pack 2nd semester, where there are always too many activities, its time to study (actually, been studying on and off for the past 2 weeks) and now, fully concentrating (just finished my final assignment).

Study time!

Ciaos~

Paintball in Kuching 2nd Round

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 05:53:00 +0000

This time, we all went loco and headed out for a fight again on the 4th day of Raya (well, it was a holiday and everyone needed a break from the constant nag by lecturers and assignments biting our arse) and grab a reservation in Sentosa Sports Center. You can find more information on the website and I do recommend it, aside from the little complain that the lighting is tad poor and the place is tad small. Rest, its good.

I'll let the picture do the talking. Forgive me for the not so good pictures and I had to tinker with it quite a lot to fix it as it wasn't taken by me. I was inside marking people instead with a marker!

2 Japanese friends new to paintball. Another friend was telling them what to do and whats not.

Ready!

*Peaking~*

*piew~ piew~ piew~*

Next round!

Military training?

One on one showdown!

*Aim~ aim~*

That dude is hiding.

"Go! Go! Go!" *running for cover*

Er... Commando maybe?

SWAT tactical style maybe. I reckon they both watched too much movies.

Sneaking around....

Ah. The marker. Tippmann 98 Custom with CO2 tank.

Ha, just had to do this.

Hrm...

Well, thats all. Hope it sparks the eagerness for those readers who want to try paintball. Its fun and safe, apart from the bruises.

Owh, did I mention the ground is sand? You can slide around but I don't really like it. Cannot sprint properly. All that energy absorbed into the sand. Wastage.

Things Happens

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 10:16:00 +0000

Today, was out for a shooting since a friend requested for help so I was glad to give a helping hand and also, was sick leaving my butt rotting away on the chair staring at my assignments. A little bit of fresh air would do me good.... Yea right!

My nikkor lens nearly shattered as the frontal element of the lens came off its mount and landed on my foot and on to the ground. Great. I have a chip on my lens. Luckily, it does not affect the picture but its a scar on the lens already.

See the white part? That is the chipped part of the lens. Inside.

And no, I did not drop the damn camera.

GAH!!!

Gonna send to for warranty claim tomorrow.

Life Hurdles

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 17:39:00 +0000

Owh well, seems this semester is super hectic compare to the many years I've been in uni.

Assignments due here and there, and having so little time to complete it, and trying to squeeze as much time as possible to go on with normal chores is tad tiring.

And I have a test on law today. Better get over it and finish up the rest of the assignments.

Pictures

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 14:52:00 +0000

Been busy, only had a little time of breather for a few hours of snaps before plunking my arse on this chair and stare at the screen doing assignments again. This semester sucks a lot. Datelines are so near to each other, work piling up like crazy, and not much time for entertainment. What rotten luck is this.

Till now, this month I ended up letting my tongue go and spitting our curses here and there. I guess I should hold my tongue more. Owh well, like I say, "No stress, no work."

Anyway, enjoy the pictures.

51th Years of Independence of Malaysia

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 05:09:00 +0000

This year's Merdeka countdown, apparently not many people went and celebrate as I also stayed at home, completing assignments and my uncle was not willing to go down again due to last year's 1 hour jam in downtown.

Heard fireworks going off for approximately 10 minutes and it died down. Hey, Chinese New Year's firework laster over an hour at least.

Owh well, back to my assignments.

Just something in BM, since I haven't touch it for years already. I wonder how much it has downwindled.

"Merdeka~! Merdeka~! Merdeka~!" Tiga sahutan merdeka daripada Bapa Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman, di Stadium Merdeka, menandakan Malaysia telah menjadi sebuah negara yang merdeka pada 31 Ogos 1957.

Paintball in Kuching

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:28:00 +0000

Few weeks back, I was invited to join a couple of my friends to go and try paintball at the Kuching Borneo Paintball and also they want to try out how paintball was.

So, half awaked, I was informed that they will be heading down there and I'll have to meet them up there. So, I did.

I'll let the pictures tell its tale.

After game discussions and bragging rights.

The in-field markers provided. Gas supplied is compressed CO2.

Patriot markers.

Being an amature in this, I was pratically taking down opponents faster than my team mates can shoot, so after the first round, I slowed down my pace and pratically sat there, being the so-called last man standing in the field.

Everyone got a shot to their body, but I walked away clean, except a stray pellet smack right on my right eye. One an only~

Lastly, the field. Check it out.

The field ain't bad, except, its not totally flat, and commando crawl as well as knee sliding wasn't inviting, so I totally avoided those.

Price-wise, its cheap. A box of pellet of 2k rounds is worth rm300 and equipment rental was at rm20. Not bad but I still prefer Astaka field.

Enjoy.

Lack of Post

noreply@blogger.com (サテッリアキッド) — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 17:41:00 +0000

Hrm.... Work took pratically 90% of my time, leaving 10% of that for sleep and bit of entertainment during the 1 month holiday.

Now, uni has started, grades were good and finally, back to studying again and getting stress over assignments and also finals.

During the transistion of work and going back to uni, I went for the Sarawak Regatta 2008, and gotten myself soaked as well as enjoying the race from the regatta.

Pictures for you to enjoy.

Trying to overtake.

Sinking boat. "Man Overboard!"

D80 Cameraman

After a few hours, heavy downpour followsuit and the race was held off due to thunderstorm and the boat paddlers all scramble out of the water.

Silver veil

Hrm.

Enjoy.
