Plagiarism Checking Services

Now that I'm gonna start my university life in the states, one of the things that I worry most is regarding plagiarism. I have heard so many stories on how plagiarism can actually ruin your whole learning career! Esp in the States where everything is so strict and unbending!

You know why is it so hard for me to adapt? That's because in Malaysia it's much much more lenient. Students do it all the time. Whenever there is a project or assignment that needs to be completed, all the student needs to do is log onto the internet, find the information, copy and paste and you're done.

The lecturers will accept it without any questions. Some lecturers may go the extra mile by asking you to do it in another language so you can't copy and paste, but students just translate it literally!

I'm not saying that everywhere in Malaysia is like that but it is generally not so strict there. And I don't know whether I can complete my assignments in future with all the strict marking and everything. I know it's wrong but don't you think it makes life so much easier?

Yeah.. Yeah.. I know its wrong. That's why we have programs like iPlagiarismCheck.com - See our various packages! This service helps you to check your documents before you hand them in. Whether you're a student or a lecturer, this site is perfect for you. They have this patented software technology which resides entirely online and does not need you to download or install anything.

iPlagiarismCheck.com will then check all blogs, directories, cache as well as PDF's that are all over the Internet. They also checked publications, whether it is hard or soft printed, their software will check books, articles and journals.




Plagiarism is a very serious crime and we students have to be very careful in this. One wrong step and we may find ourselves getting fined, failed, expelled or fired from our universities! That would be a terrible ending right?

So be careful in doing your assignments and good luck in your results!

Good luck in me too!!!

I'm in California NOW!!!

Wow.. I can't believe this! I'm finally here! All the days of planning and worrying and..

It's finally here!

I'm here! Can you believe this? Wahahaha..

Am using the computer in my hotel lobby now! Waiting to go out and explore the town! One thing I'm not use to is my day just started and my friends back home are now deep in their slumber!

The time difference is just so confusing!

But this place is truly great! The town is so peaceful! Everything is so clean and nice. And the weather is superb! Though my skin feels a bit dry though.

Taxi is here

A few months back, the ratio of excitement to dread was 60 to 40..

No.. make it 5 to 95!

On a more serious note though. Since I'm going to US a week before my uni starts, my blog will lay dormant for the next week or so. Thousand apologies ya everyone!

I bought a New Camera!!!

Woooohoooo!!!! Wooohooo!!!

*big smile*

Wooohoooo!!!!

Wahahaha..!!!

I bought a new camera.. I bought a new camera.. I bought a new camera!

Ok.. I shall stop gloating! =)


Oooh.. Open Up! Open Up!!!


All the boring but important stuff!


Here it comes! Here it comes!


My chunky camera lying snugly on me bed!


Its little house!


Remember a few days ago I showed you the video on the Canon S5 IS camera? Well.. Wahaha.. I bought it already! I know.. I know.. it's a bit too soon and bla bla bla.. But I bought it already so there! ^.^







It was quite a harsh decision though. I saw it on Saturday in Midvalley, went home and went to a few websites to look for its reviews, and the next day.. Asked my dad to buy for me.

My dad is seriously the best I tell you. I never really ask him to buy anything for me before. I mean big stuff.. (Clothes doesn't count) but lately, just because I'm gonna go US, he's suddenly being all nice and offering me to buy me this and that!

He even wanted to buy me a RM2900 (USD828) PDA Dopod Phone!!! I still havent decided yet though.. Him treating me so good is kinda making me feel all weird and 'mo yi si'! Hard to explain la. Makes it all the more harder for me to go overseas. How am I gonna survive without my family?

Sigh..

Anyway.. back to my camera. I don't really know how much it cost coz I wasn't around when my parents bought it for me. But the price that I saw was RM1599 (USD456). Kinda expensive I know. It was between the Canon S850 and this.

The Canon S850 is obviously smaller and slicker. More sexy! But since I am slowly getting interested in photography, I was thinking might as well get a camera that has more functions to play around with. Not really an SLR camera but looks like it. Hehe..

But the size is undeniably big and chunky. I can't imagine being in a cool club having fun with the girls and when everybody wants to take a picture, I take out my chunky huge camera ! Hahah..

Not that I go clubbing often! What were you thinking?

I guess I'll just have to have thicker skin la!

I'm kinda lazy to list down all the functions of the camera. Click here if you want the full list of it's function. But mainly it has 8.0 megapixels of resolution, DIGIC III Image Processor (don't really know what it is), 12x optical zoom lens with an optical Image Stabilizer (IS) system (good for shaking hands like mine!) and 2.5-inch vari-angle LCD monitor with wide viewing angle. It uses four AA batteries.

Now this is the part that I don't really like. It using AA batteries. It's harder to charge right? Not as convenient. But looking at the bright side, I can get batteries anywhere I want now.

Pros and cons as usual.

Of course.. after opening up everything. The first thing I did was to try the camera out! And guess who was my first model?


My sweet lovely old faithful!


I don't think you can find this in the market anymore. The memory card is actually obsolete now! Everything of it is manual. And it has been with me for goodness knows how long! 5 years? I always wanted a new camera. And now I finally do!

Sigh.. I'm so lucky.

Thanks dad! =)




See the flash on top. You have to press the small circular button on top and it'll bounced right up itself! So cute I tell you.

And the funniest part is.. When my friends wanna see my pictures.. I love having them looking around my camera finding for the on switch!

Its hilarious I tell you.

Can you guess where the on switch is?




Can guess? Can guess?

Or you're just too lazy to find it. Can't be bothered? There aren't a lot of switches there ya know.. DOn't be lazy la..

1st button? 2nd button?

With your expertise in photography and cameras, which I know you have.. which button would you think it is?




Hehe..

Here you go!


Pardon my weird words. It's not easy controlling the mouse!


Did you get it right? Or as usual you couldn't be bothered? =P

And when you actually on it.. It'll give up this very noisy sound where it starts to 'stick' out he's little lens!

It's to tell the whole world I'm ready for action!!!

Naughty guy right?


Alamak!


Oooh.. I'm gonna get all sentimental with my camera now.. Don't worry. I'll still use you!

But since I already have a smaller digital camera, I think it'll be all right for me right? I can still go clubbing with my this old faithful!! =)

Wah.. A short post become so long now. Thanks for reading finish you guys!!! =)

What Kitchen Cabinets Do You use?

Now that I'm gonna study in US and leave my beloved house, I'm really starting to miss and appreciate my house. When I first moved to my home, the part where I was truly amazed with was my kitchen cabinets. Before this, my old house had very old and dirty kitchen cabinets. The color was old and boring and we didn't have much storage space.

But my new place was a different thing altogether. I think my parents spend quite an amount on it and it definitely showed! The colour was a nice brownish and everything fit nicely with the kitchen! And we had plenty of storage place.

So are you looking for a kitchen cabinet? Do you use metal cabinets or diamond plate cabinets? These diamond cabinets are made of aluminium that will not rust or corrode! They also carry aluminum cabinets that can be powder coated with your favorite color! The look of your kitchen will definitely determined the amount of time you spent there! So choose wisely! You wanna have home cooked food right? =)

Should I bring half a dozen of Darlie to US?

17 more days

Yup! I dunno whether to rejoice or feel terrible because I only have 17 more days to live in my this beautiful country Malaysia! No.. I'm not dying.. I'm just gonna further my studies soon.

For you out there that have no idea what I'm talking about?

Well.. Em.. You havent been reading my blog havent you? Well.. naughty you then! >.<

Hahah.. joking! I'm going to US soon. Yup! In another 17 more days! It hasn't really dawn on to me yet that I'm finally gonna leave my country of 20 years!

I have been waiting for this day to come for so long that now that it's finally here, I'm not really believing it. I mean, it's not that I don't believe that I can finally go overseas to study, it's just that I can't really believe that I'm gonna leave my home soon! I kinda feel that I don't wanna leave now. I realized a long time ago that whenever I ask my friends that are about to leave on what their feelings are at the moment before they leave, their answer is always,

"Em.. nothing la. Lidat lo.."

"Don't you feel excited at all?" will be my answer.

"Not really. Kinda feel sad actually." will they say softly.

Now I understand how they feel. Part of me, say like 20% is kinda excited that I'm gonna start a whole new chapter of my life experiencing new cultures and stuff, and part of me, the remaining 80%, kinda dreads the 'big' day.

What if I get so lonely there? What if I cannot adapt to the environment over there? What if I miss my family and cry for my mummy everyday? What if.. What if.. What if? A

rgh.. Life is just full of challenges right? Even when things go your way, you still need to face multiple challenges in life.

Now, the biggest problem for me is packing. I have another 17 days more to go and I haven't started packing yet! Not a single thing. Why? Well.. I don't know what to pack!!! I know nuts about packing!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!

My family went and bought a luggage bag for me! Cost around RM700 ya know. Super expensive! You think enough for me anot leh?



I know I'll definitely need to bring clothes. But how much is much? What about shoes? Books? Stationary? Bed sheets? Pillows?


Can I fit everything inside?


I heard that US doesn't have Darlie the toothpaste. Should I bring half a dozen of Darlie then? I have a friend that just migrated to Australia and it seems that she has been bringing almost half a dozen of Darlie toothpaste every time she flew back to Malaysia because Australia doesn't have Darlie. She did this even when she was studying 10 years ago!!!




These things just don't cross your mind unless someone tells you! But now that someone did warn you, are you gonna take their advice?

How am I gonna fit in everything in my bag? Or even if I succeed.. How am I gonna fit it in my room???


Can see how deep it is?


Argh.. I'm worried and stress up now!!! There seems to be so many things for me to do, so little time.. but I don't know where to start and what to do!!!

>.< Help!

Bonsai Cat

Do you receive weird e-mails from friends? Those e-mails that contain weird images that sometimes if you're lucky will make you laugh or feel in awe with the ability of people to take those pictures.. or make you think twice whether those pictures are real or not.

I don't know whether you received this mail or not but yesterday was the 2nd time I receive the mail on 'bonsai kitten'.



FOR EVERYONE WHO LOVES ANIMALS

A site that we were able to shut last year has returned. We have to try to shut it down again! A Japanese man in New York breeds and sells kittens that are called BONSAI CATS.

That would sound cute, if it weren't kittens that were put in to little bottles after being given a muscle relaxant and then locked up for the rest of their lives!! The cats are fed through a straw and have a small tube for their faeces. The skeleton of the cat will take on the form of the bottle as the kitten grows. The cats never get the opportunity to move.



They are used as original and exclusive souvenirs. These are the latest trends in New York, China, Indonesia and New Zealand .






If you think you can handle it, view http://www.bonsaikitten.com and have a look at the methods being used to put these little kittens into bottles. This petition needs 500 names, so please put your one name on it!!! Copy the text into a new email and put your name on the bottom, then send it to everyone you know. If you notice that there are 500 names on the list, please send it to: anacheca@hotmail.com



Well.. I have to admit that I really felt disgusted with the mail and was angry at how people can actually do this kinda things to animals. And I was curious to know more so as usual, I went and google it up!!!

And guess what I found?



Bonsai Kitten is an internet hoax, which claimed to give instructions on how to grow kittens in bottles as a form of decoration, similar in fashion to a Bonsai tree.

That's what wikipedia said!!!

Haha.. can you imagine it? It seems that a group of very free MIT graduate students that didn't really know what to do with their lives came out with this hoax to play on people's humane feelings! It seems that when people grew to knew about this 'bonsai kitten', animal activists actually went on to complain to animal welfare organizations and set up online petitions to have the website banned!

Some people are so free I tell you!

And to make things even more absurd, this case was actually investigated by the FBI itself! Haha..

Were you fooled?

Wednesday, July 04, 2007

I'm off to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah!

Yup!!! Off I go again! All this flying around in aeroplanes is kinda making me feel all tired! I'm not complaining or anything. I know there's a lot of people out there that hasn't been on an aeroplane at all but.. sigh.. just thinking about packing, going to the airport, waiting to board the plane, siting down in the small tineey winney seat, feeling the air pressure blowing your ears out, and waiting for the plane to land..

Well.. kinda turns me off flying!!! >.<

I'm sorry if I sounded like an unappreciative b*tch but.. boohoo..

If you're wondering though.. I'm going there because my cousin is getting married soon! Yup! And it's gonna be a huge elaborate affair. With church wedding and all. Haven't been to a church wedding though. Should be super romantic! Can't wait.

And all my favourite KK food!!! Ooooh.. My last time though. =(

On another note, today is the 5th of July. That just gives me another 24 days in Malaysia. Then I'll be off to the States to start a whole new chapter in my life. I dunno whether I should feel excited or sad!

Excited because.. well.. I'm gonna start a whole new life! A totally different experience. I'll meet new people.. experience different culture.. learn new things.. Didn't I always dream of going overseas? Now my dream is coming true.. Right?

But but but.. what if I cannot take it? What if I get so lonely and lost and hide myself in my room and cry every single day? What if I miss my family and Cody too much until I can't do any other things?

What if I miss Malaysian food so much until my stomach wont accept other food at all? (I personally think this is kinda fake though!)

What if I fail all my subject because I couldn't adapt to the environment there? And be kick out of the university?

There are so many what ifs.. Argh..

And the worst thing is.. I haven't started packing AT ALL!!! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO BRING AT ALL!!!

Oh dear.. so confuse now.. Princess Shin is a confuse girl now!!! Boohooo..

Any advice my dear lovely imaginary readers?

Celebrity Gossip

We all love the tabloids! I mean who wouldn't love to read about the lives of the rich and famous. Whether it is a celebration or a tragedy, we all love to know all the juicy details of the rich and famous!

It's just in the human genes! Don't you think so? Though somehow I think most people just like the read celebrity gossip because it's mostly bad news for the celebrity themselves and people just like to feel that the celebrities don't have it all after all!!! Right?

Remember Britney Spears shaving herself bald and ending up in the rehab again and again? Well.. the pop princess is not so perfect after all right?

And Katie Holmes being married to Tom Cruise. Well.. we all know that it is not exactly paradise for her either?

Life is like that I guess.. You can't have everything!

Where do you read all these? Nowadays you don't have to buy tabloids or magazines anymore! There are more and more celebrity gossip sites out there for you to choose! And the best part is most of these sites are more up to date than the most popular magazine!

Well.. there's a new site now. celebrity gossip.com is a brand new site that is dedicated in bringing you the latest celebrity news, rumours and scandals of Hollywood! They're updated every 5 minutes and it even allows you to vote and leave comments on each post!

So ahead over there for some juicy celebrity news!
