Stress and more stress

Not liking stress. I am hating it. What's the opposite of love? Hate! HATE! Stress is horrible!

Argh! I feel like punching someone in the face. Gah! I know, I have very bad stress management. Ok, I am seriously hating Form 4. Hate it! Gyah!!

GYAH!!!!

Alright, chill Bee Lee...

Hmm... well, I have to go to bed. It's already 10.30pm.

Ooh, that's so fake!

This is actually not a very rare occasion. A lot of computer users are gullible enough to fall for pranks, well, sorta.

Now, yesterday, I was searching for something in google, and one of the links that I clicked on redirected me to a fake anti-virus website. The website is scripted to close down the internet browser and show a pop-up asking you to download a fake antivirus software. I fell for it once, that was a few years ago, I am so not gonna fall for it again. I did a research before on these kind of pop-ups, and the things you should do is:

1) Don't EVER respond to the pop-up (even clicking the corner "X" button). Just leave it alone. Some rogue anti-virus software pop-ups (especially those triggered by the Vundo Trojan horse) are scripted to download the fake anti-virus program even if you close the pop-up or click anything on the pop-up.
2) Cut your internet connection: Unplug the ethernet cable, telephone cable, off the modem, whatever, as long as the internet is down. This is just to prevent the pop-up from downloading the fake anti-virus software, if it plans to.
3) Now, close the pop-up. Clicking the "X" button should not do any harm, since the internet connection is down. Alternatively, you can always use the Ctrl+Alt+Delete method.

The most important thing of all is not to panic.

I could not record a video of it because strangely, the link disappeared. Hmm... well anyway, when a pop-up comes up from nowhere, you'll know what to do.

Is there something wrong?

Though it's hard to bear my own depression, it's even harder to bear with another's anger and sorrow. Why? Well, it's mainly because I feel kinda helpless. All I can do is listen to his/her sufferings. Life is really harsh, and one of the teachers I know kinda mistreated my friend today. Not sure whether it's because she is forgetful, or just care more about school's magazine than the welfare and the emotions of others. But there's really nothing I can do. Sorry.

Anyway, I got blacklisted by my Maths Teacher, because I passed up my homework late, TWICE. I really need to earn back her trust. Hahahaha!

Strangely, I tried going to youareblocked(dot)com, and apparently, the domain expired two days ago. Phew!


Hmm... Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka dot Bikini. Hahaha. One of my favourite songs. It's just amusing.

80 cents, so awesome!

Ok, let's compare some stuff:

The print on the far left is from Shannen (thx Shannen, I owe you man!), but then, there were errors, so I terpaksa edit it. So, because I don't wanna waste too much of Shannen's ink, I asked my dad to bring the document to a shop to print, and that shop is Fuji shop, the one that prints photos. Ironically, the print didn't really turn out right (as you can see on the far right). I was like WTF? A photoshop which can't print a simple document nicely? Really ah, horrible. And some more, that shop charged my dad RM4.00, and took like 3-4 hours to print. Yea right? Are you trying to con my dad, Mr I-Print-Photos-but-I-Suck? Goodness.

Finally, my dad took me to a normal, ordinary looking shop which specializes in photocopying. And you know what, they successfully printed it (you can see it in the middle of the two prints). It's as good as Shannen's, though a little bit darker, but it's alright. And it costs only like what? 80 CENTS? And it took me not more than a minute to get it done. I was like Photocopy Lady FTW! I am so not trusting that Fuji Shop anymore.

A very important announcement

Don't go to youareanidiot(dot)org. Seriously, don't. DON'T. Must I rephrase that? I don't think so.

Ok, DON'T!

If you are not aware of this, you should continue reading...

Apparently, that website drops a javascript that disables some of your keys (F4, Ctrl, and Delete), stopping you from using that Ctrl+Alt+Delete or Alt+F4. Now, this malware is seriously a pain in the ass, so don't try to go there, unless you really want to. This trojan causes many many many popups to fly around your screen, and slowing down your comp significantly. I won't be responsible for any damages caused ok. And remember, I am using a VIRTUAL PC, therefore, all damages are limited within that virtual pc. Here's a video I recorded.




(Oh, if you see the Task Manager in the video, that Task Manager actually belongs to the host computer, my computer, not the virtual pc)

Upon further investigation on that popup-swarmed website, it actually activates the javascript it left in your Temporary Internet Files folder after you exit from the page (go back or close the IE). It then creates 6 IE windows showing the open.html page, which resides in the youareanidiot(dot)org website.

The open.html page has quite a similar HTML code as the youareanidiot(dot)org main page. When you try to close the open.html window, it runs the javascript, and creates another 6 windows!

Now, strangely, if you're using Windows XP Service Pack 2, you should be ok because the IE has a pop-up blocker. A pop-up blocker is enough to stop it from creating those annoying pop-ups. Still, I don't really guarantee that.

And guys, if you are sent an email recommending you to sign up in youareblocked(dot)com, it's really a phishing website. It will steal your hotmail/live account id and password. That's what I read la, at least, but I'll go test it out when I have the time. Wow, first time I had an adrenaline rush by playing with computer malwares!

Well, if you did type your password in that youareblocked website, which claims to tell you who blocked you in MSN, I suggest you go change your password.

Soon...

Mr Ball 2 was suspended for a month and a half already, because of EdBoard and Interact Installation. After I've finished my EdBoard duty, I can continue Mr Ball 2 already!


Yeah!

Stressful life

I have to admit, these few days had been one of the most stressful days in my life. I have to know how to organise my time man. The EdBoard thing is really eating up my homework time and my napping time. I'm exhausted and stressed up.

Oh, and today, the teachers had a meeting. ... Not really liking the outcome...
They made a new rule:
"No student will be allowed to exit the class during lesson, unless it's urgent"

This rule, plus with the staffroom thing is really getting to my last nerves. Sometimes I feel like ranting to the headmistress or the HEM. Then again, I'm just a student. What power do I have?

Why? Why at this time?

Should I continue? Or should I just pass my job to someone else and run away from the challenge like a coward? Sigh... I'm facing one of the worst dilemmas in my life.

Gargh!!

I wonder why I even took up the offer to collect class photo order forms. Sheesh! You know how stressful is it? I had to stay back in school almost everyday!

Oh, you'll like this. Yesterday, one of the teacher's handbag got stolen, and so, the only way the school thought that can help to solve the teacher's-items-go-missing problem is to lock the staff room from the students! Yeah right... as if that will do any help? Because of that, I can't reach quite a number of teachers to collect the order forms. It's like WTH!!!?

I am so furious about it. Well, I do pity the teacher, but still, is locking the staff room from the students gonna do any help? If you want the problem to go away, might as well lock the whole school away since there are so many items to steal from the teachers all over the school. ... Ok, maybe I'm like "over reacting" and all, but this locking the staff room thing has really made my life that little bit harder.

Hmm... not to mention I got "halau-ed" out by the afternoon's discipline teacher from the staffroom just now. I don't blame her, she's just doing her job. Gosh, of all the things to lock??

Somemore, how can you prove that students are the ones responsible for the missing handbag?

Kick it into Gear!

Hmm....

Kick it into Gear - Country bears
I've finally found this song after 4 years of searching! I've never really liked Country Bears, which is a Disney Movie about some bears. But I really liked this song, sang by Jennifer Paige. Strangely, I dunno why it was so hard to look for this song back then. It's kinda catchy.
