Yer Blues!

You asking me how was it?
I don't know, I don't know
You asking me will i get through?
I don't know, i don't know..

Beetles bite my throat, silver hammer banging on my head,
Feel so self destruct, feel like i'm hearing bell from hell

Something in the pages needed to be knew,
Memory almost full,
I'm drowned inside this sick body,
Waiting to be rescued, but nothing worked.

All my troubles seems so near,
Now it looks that they're here to stay for another month,
My speed is low, my mind is blown,
Now i'm half the man i'm used to be.
Shit........

Time goes on, life goes on,
But i'm still stuck in this disease,
Pages never flip, but times ticked me by like a clip.

Why we had to go through all these hell?
I don't know i don't know.
Why we need all these thought control?
I don't know, i don't know.

Hey, teachers, leave us kids alone!!!
We don't need no examinations, we don't need no life control,
All i wanna do is to break free,
But reality entangles me in this shit!!

Weapon of Choice

I just got a new mouse- Logitech Gaming-Grade MX 518. I got it from India Ebay for Rs 1750(RM 160), which is very reasonable for a good mouse (even though in Msia it is sold for RM130 only). It just arrived yday after 4 days of my payment through bank transfer. Many ppl might think why spend so much on a mouse when u can get one for Rm10? Well, let me explain, a good computer input like keyboard n mice are very very important!

Nowadays working place hazard is a very important issue. Diseases like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, tendinitis, backache etc is very common in many ppl. People sit in office for hours pressing their keyboard n mice to do work, some ppl use them for hours of extreme gaming, so it's actually a very good investment as a good mice n keyboard can actually last longer than ur computer, so it's actually like "once-and-for-all".

Last week i had pain n numbness on my right wrist, and there's big swelling and my hand feel super weak to do anything. It is not the 1st time i got this kind of prob, it had happened once a while, sometimes due to wrong position when i was sleeping; overstretched my wrist in sports or too much gaming at home. I spent around RM150 on all the X-ray, blood test, MRI scan, wrist band n drugs to find out that i was suffering from tendisynovitis of right wrist(swt!!). So out of frustration, i decided to hunt for a new and good mouse. i surfed through many websites to find out how to chose a mouse and which brand is the best. So these are my conclusions:

Here are some tips on mousing:

1. the shape must be ergonomic to fit ur right/left hand comfortably
2. large enough to fit the whole palm n without flexing or extending ur palm
3. mouse should be free moving + move the mouse using ur elbow as pivot, not the wrist
4. do not compress ur wrist on the table, and do not use a wrist rest cz it only give more compression n restrict circulation
5. ur forearm should be straight when u sit n move the mouse, n the wrist should be straight too
6. it's best to be positioned around the Numpad of ur keyboard

After some times of research, i'd mark on a few:
Logitech VX Revolution Wireless Notebook Mouse (RM 275)
Logitech V450 Wireless Notebook Mouse (RM160)
Logitech MX518 corded gaming mouse

So now my next verdict: wired or wireless? In the end, i'm 100% gonna stick to wired, why?

• much cheaper
• no battery headache
• no interference with other wavelength
• no lagging or slowing down (which is the main criteria as a gamer)
• i do not travel along with my notebook

So in the end, i'd decided on Logitech MX518 corded gaming mouse, which i'm very pleased with

• very beautiful design
  
• very comfortable size n shape
• very smooth with it's high quality optical, even without laser technology
• with 6 customizable buttons, which i find extremely useful (i expect one day i'll be so used to the thumb buttons till cant live without them)
• can change the sensitivity on the go, which help me adjust to diff situations
• 1800dpi sensitivity
  

In the end, you might ask why i neglect Microsoft n Razer? First of all, i only trust Logitech cz Microsoft hardware is kinda disappointing. Secondly, even though Razer does produce very good gaming mouse, but MX518 is proven to be better than Razer Viper and Razer Diamondback, while other models are damn expensive. MX518 even though is not as 'high-class' as other Logitech gaming mouse like G5, G7, but it's the best of it's kind with very cheap price. Highly recommended. You can really own people with this weapon in gaming. Though nowadays i don't play game as much as last time, but it's still a good choice for everyday use.

Holiday (apparently)

Been long since i last posted, am not free (apparently) and kinda bored, so there was nothing significant to write about. We're now on "holiday", but not a free holiday, or i would say in another word- study break (swt). My 3rd sessionals exam is just 2 weeks away now. Shit, still many things to cover. I like the feeling of not going to school and stay at home studying, BUT, whenever there's too much time for me, i tend to 'waste' them. Procrastination! So basically, i'm still in deep shit in my preparation. I need to pass all subjects this time cz my previous 2 sessionals are really badly done.

Now i only have posting in th morning, Medicine posting, in the shitty government hospital again. It supposed to have started 2 days, but i'd not attended one yet, cz i overslept. My last Psychiatry posting always start at 10.30, but now it starts at 9, swt, cant wake up for both days. Tmr gonna go.

My mind already cant help thinking of the 80GB Ipod Classic i want to buy during holiday; my trip to Singapore; plus all the shoes n shirts n computer peripherals etc. I really miss home cz it'd been 10 months since i was back there. But now, what most important is my exam. I have to pass all the papers in order to enjoy my holiday. Ok ok, it's time to study again. So long..
