Month: August 2003 (Page 2 of 2)

Fumbled around with some more MIDI stuff on the computer today and
as a sequel to the first Lord Of The Ringtones,
I bring you KRU’s Awas and
Limp Bizkit’s Take A Look Around
for your polyphonic phone’s perusal. Go bleed other people’s ears with
’em.

In other news, Spoonfork,
now emancipated
from being a wage slave, managed to sucker convince
me to help him out prepare for the Hack In The Box Security Conference 2003.
Oughtta be interesting!

Yes, the last posting now
holds the record for the most number of comments posted on this
website! Amazing how things can have a life of its own sometimes,
especially from the “2 Guys And A Girl”
who commented the most! Thanks Bart, Zin, Lyna,
Seme
and Dide!

Ati
is graduating this weekend! Congratulations! Welcome to the Boilermaker
Alumni family! ;)

I
like that caption on that Phuturecam screencapture (taken off the
TV show Scrubs
— the caption translates to “The most interesting thing about women is
that they’re unpredictable” for all you non-Malay speaking people).
First, they’re hard to understand
and now they’re unpredictable. Interesting combination indeed! Despite
all that, as once said by DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince
in Girls Ain’t Nothing But Trouble:
“Can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em!” ;)

But it apparently is for these bunch of guys
(right click and “Save as…” ~77MB in size). If you’ve got the bandwidth
and time to spare, try downloading the video clip. Very Linkin Park-ish
song about unity by an Indonesian band. Just watch out for the
chorus. ;)

Went up to Penang over the weekend to attend Thane and Eany’s wedding dinner. The last time they were here, they were still a couple. This time around, they came here as husband and wife. The both of them got married last year at Virginia and the dinner reception is an ‘extension’ of their wedding for those of us on this side of the planet who couldn’t make it there last year! I’ve known Eany since we were kids since she and her family lived just across the street from our house. She met Thane when they were at college and have pretty much been together since (and that’s 10 years, folks!). They both have had it good so far but I’m sure the best times of their lives are in the years ahead!

Our national anthem will be rearranged
yet again for the second time in just over a decade (news originally
appeared in yesterday’s Utusan Malaysia).
Not only that, the lyric Negaraku will be changed to Malaysiaku
to supposedly “instil a deeper sense of love for the nation among the
people”. Go figure. Anyway, in light of all this, I’ve decided to release
a Negaraku polyphonic ringtone
for all you patriotic polyphonic phone owners out there and a
special remix version of it done by yours
truly in a fit of insanity back in 1995. I still like the old version (pre-1992
remix) better.
