Yong Xian's birthday

As the title implies, today is my friend, Yong Xian's birthday. We celebrated his birthday at Aeon Cheras Selatan today morning.

Things didn't go as we have planned though. Our birthday boy didn't show up on time. I'll keep the reason to ourselves. We decided to have a karaoke session instead of watching movies.

We bought him a cake and ate it during the karaoke session. It was fun. It's been a long time since the last time I sing and as expected I can't live up the standard I used to be..Now my throat is sore enough to even talk properly. Failed.

I didn't prepare a present for him (sorry boss), we just used this chance to hang out together before some of my friends begin their college life. To continue the "celebration", we even went to a cyber cafe at Sungai Long, before finally going home.

Anyways, Happy Birthday Yong Xian bro. Wish you all the best in your studies and future. And of course, wish you good luck in your relationship with your gal. XD

Happy Birthday, Mom!

This post is dedicated to my mom.

This day has come,

a special day for you and only for you,

but will never be the same day as last year,

the same goes to the future years.

You,

devoted yourself to our family for so many years,

without hoping anything from us in return;

what you get is what every woman trying to avoid:

aging.

You,

however,

will still be my mom,

the most beautiful mom in the world,

for the rest of my life.

I will not forget you,

even if you have forgotten me for any reason.

I'm still not good with words,

so,

I hereby wish you:

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Fan-cleaning

Finally, this post came out as promised in my last post.

Things started to get fishy a few months back when I started to sneeze violently straight after I woke up everyday. I was wondering, did I make any rivals that speak bad things about me? I had insomnia from this matter (well not really, it's SPM when it started, i guess).

Until that time approaching New Year, I saw this...

Bloody hell just look at that! I failed to expect the expected, it's my standing fan that I used everyday but never paid attention to it. So that's the reason to why I'm sneezing a lot. My dad even said that the fan has not been cleaned for 1 year! LOL

And so I decided to clean this fan at New Year's day. It was a hard + hard task. Considering my condition for not sleeping for the whole night, my hand was trembling badly during the whole process...and not to leave out that the fan isn't really that "cleaner-friendly".

To start it off, I had to unscrew 4 screws to remove the back cover of the fan, and it didn't look beautiful either. Anyway, cleaning that part was fairly easy.

One wipe across it...

and this was how the wiping cloth looked like!

Next I had to unscrew another 3 screws to remove the core of the fan which obviously is the spinning part that creates air flow to blow my @$$ when I am sleeping. It was covered with dust, which explains why device efficiency has lowered (in other words, smaller air flow with more sound produced). Fortunately I just need to clean it with water hose.

Before

After

Here comes the hardest part, the front cover.

I call it The Tower of Dusts

There are many obvious obstacles you can see from the pictures, and the spaces are not as shallow as the ones found at the back cover. I have used 1 hour+ just to wipe off those dusts that are easily wiped by the cloth, and another half hour for thorough cleaning...test of mental and physical fitness...more like a torture.
Nevertheless, I still managed to finish the task despite my bad condition. And the result:

Increased efficiency (larger air flow, lesser sound produced). Most importantly, I have started not to sneeze that much after I have cleaned that fan =D. Hooray!

Off-topic: I have turned 18 officially yesterday. Have to say I received a lot of greetings compared to my past birthdays, 3 from MSN, 3 from Friendster (strangers zz), another 3 by SMS (which included my good friend suffering in NS, and a female friend actually typed a birthday song in her SMS, you are the only one to give me a birthday song *touched*). Thanks to all of you.

All of you might think, "wtf you call 9 greetings a lot??", yeah it's true, the greetings I received in my past birthdays never exceed 5. To add up, my family didn't even remember my birthday since last year. Pathetic eh you say?

Anyway, I have made one and only one birthday wish, and I'm telling it out. Why you ask, because this is actually the wish of everyone who cares for their future! You dare to say "getting 11A1 in SPM" is not what you have wanted for your whole life??!!

Haha, ok la. Until then, ciaoz.
