COLD... Average about 6 degrees Celsius, night time can drop till 3. Snowed slightly just now.

Just done with exams today, I'm signing out in a short while to catch some much needed shut-eye. It's been a while.

oh yah, to veterans. What is usually up in the first week of 2nd Semester ah? module introduction like Week 1 ah?

Every semester is same. Module Introductions. The module introductions can be quite important too, as it gets you prepared mentally and know what to expect throughout the entire module. If you really can't attend, I guess not much harm is done since you can ask a few friends anyway.

Gotta ask you a question..

I came across Packetix
http://packetix.net/en/secure/install/

Perfect solution for normal browsing such as facebook and blogger I believe. Secure VPN connection. Went through the steps of creating virtual network adapter. Then after configuring the client, successfully connected to Japan server. woot~.

But don't know how to use it with Chrome pulak. Help~ hmm.gif

Hmm you try and see... quite simple only.

1. I installed the client. Also set up virtual network adapter.
2. Inserted the VPN server and and port and authentication settings.
3. From the client, it said successfully connected to the Japan server.

But now, how to proceed with surfing?

The ActiveX is only for auto-installation of the client.

There's also an option for manual installation, which I've already done.

Now I'm at this stage (see image below), but don't know how to proceed with using it for browsing.

Hmm the VPN can establish even though you're forced to go through a proxy? hmm.gif

I can try to install it at home and try it somewhere then brows.gif

But I face a problem with this Packetix VPN, exactly as below.
The one below is actually a free trial given by one of the LYN seller.
I wonder if you have any ideas to solve such a thing.

Hopefully some Franchise can come as they can probably suck up the rental, and we get a more decent place to relax - not the smoky SA lo...

Dang.. the SA cafe is still smoky?

I always dreaded to go there due to the odour getting onto shirt..

Was thinking about Station1, Old Town etc. (although I myself don't really like Old Town.)
Fast food chains like McD are good as well, and McD would be perfect for a quick and affordable lunch!
*
Hmm, I don't think McD would do very well here.

Population too small. And after you minus out those who have cars and go out in search of good food, those who are health concious, and those who are on budget, and vegetarians.. tongue.gif

Probably the dessert station would suffice, they type where they sell apple pies and sundaes.

Now that would be profitable, I think! biggrin.gif

Wow, business students giving comments!
Yeah, that makes senses about the small population. McD is even not available in tourists' destination like Port Dickson.
Dessert station, pearl milk tea or stuff like that would be great. As long as they can help to cool off students under that big hot sun!
*
Oh I meant the McD's dessert station that serves apple pies and different types of sundaes.

For milk tea with pearls, there's already one at the SA, have you tried it? It's next to the SA entrance, on the left. Their ice blended mango is good too, according to my friend..

To add another statement as a "business student", haha: I'm quite sceptical on the setting up of some sort of franchise at the Admin building. Reason being the image. Unless it was Dome or Starbucks, something along that lines. It will most likely be another cafe just like the old one, maybe owned by the same owner.

Yahoo, got my offer letter, scholarship letter and disability support leaflet( blink.gif ) from Gdex just now! Will be printing out a moving out checklist soon.

About meals, I am personally inclined to bring a small toaster, margarine, oats, coffee etc from home and maybe a meal once a day at the canteen.

I'm really afraid that people will freeload off my food from the fridge though.

Any nice food at the canteen? Didn't manage to survey the stalls there because my parents were a bit busy. I heard the roti canai is good.

@entryman: How about Subway? Fits the whole student theme
*
That's good news, congrats!

As to the Subway, I've thought about that. But it's highly expensive and impractical for a majority of the students. But yes there probably would still be quite a number of visitors for it to sustain financially. Anyway, who's going to come up with the capital?

By the way, don't take this the wrong way, but those foodstuff of yours aren't considered healthy.
Margarine? Bad. Coffee? Dehydration and bad odour. Roti canai? Bad.
Although this is a small subset but it makes me wonder about the rest of your diet.

A person who's having immune deficiencies should consume raw foods as a majority of his diet. Raw foods, e.g. fruits, nuts, salads. Cooked foods today have very little nutrients left in them, not to mention all the fried oil. Have a look at the discussion here Post #3 and onwards

Take more foods from live sources, and try as best as you can to remove bottled/canned foods from your diet. Dried foods such as imported muesli + dried fruits (stay away from those usual cereals, they're filled to the brim with sugar) would serve as a great breakfast too.

Hmm, yeap, never know. When the time comes to setup such a McD, we need someone who has more than RM 1 million in his bank account to buy the franchising license, and who has f&b experience. And, not to mention the sky high rental that will be imposed. A thorough survey will definitely be done probably by means of handing out leaflets or emails.

@cotton

Ghosts are everywhere. Just bring all sorts of talismans from all sorts of religious people from all the religions in Malaysia. A blessed koran, a blessed talisman from the hindu and buddhist temple, a blessed something from the church, and the best of all bless and clean your own heart, lol.

Another problem is recently someone in pangkor hall wants to open radio station I think. Night time blast music like mad. No joke. Bugger want blast music close window or wear headphones laaaaaa. But I think exams period only la. Last last night dun seem to have radio station on.

I'm now in the China campus's International Student Residence.

You can hear music blaring, everyday can hear mating sounds, anything la.

Doesn't really bother, except if during super late night blast music, then definitely will complain.

actually there's no exact ban la. Just need to pay extra for the appliances. The exact rate need check with management.

Bloodsuckers. Even threaten to confiscate your stuff if they spot check and found 'illegal' items.

But I thought you guys already have a electric usage meter attached to your room?

Even if you use electrical appliances you'll be paying for the electricity anyway, rite?

Added on January 23, 2011, 9:45 pmWill mail them!

Better email instead of call/mail..

And if you do call (to remind them to read email) remember to record the call
(and remember to ask who you were speaking to)..

My personal experience reminds me that recording every action is the best weapon you have in the case of any disputes.
