Why I dont like iPhone

2011-03-17T21:54:00.004+08:00

okay, go out there and show off you iPhone (not around tech geeks please.... you'll get slammed to the ground) and who wouldn't say "WOWWWWW!!!! iPHONE!!!" heck, you might even get 2-syllables damn with that... at that time you might feel cloud 9, nothing makes you happier than people admiring your iPhone... and for that purpose, I'd say Steve Jobs really do his jobs... the iPhone have become a cult... it's like to coolest thing ever exist in the world and become one of the things to own at least once in life...

But what if I'd say, iPhone is actually overrated????

So, what makes me dont really like the thing that deemed to be the coolest thing in the world??? let's not talk about that first... why not we give some praise and compliment first...

The positive of iPhone:-

The display is pretty sharp... though I think Samsung Galaxy S running android isn't that bad either... however I do think Apple's iPhone is a little bit better in this area... but really, when running games and apps I can't see any different between iPhone and Galaxy S.... Perhaps I haven't encounter games and apps optimized for Retinal Display yet???
The sensitivity of the touchscreen... I had to say it's supersensitive... a little touch is good enough for it to register with minimal mis-register...
The effect... I had to say iOS has the best beautiful transition effects... changing menu, opening apps, all have its own effect...
The look and reputation... like I said earlier, ppl will "WOW" and it looks so expensive...
Touch Focus!!! OMG, this is something new... I dont know if any Android have this, but it's very cool... to let your camera focus on the object, touch it... fuuuuuuuuuuu.....

The so-so:-

Battery life... I dont think the battery life is something amazing... but good enough... full charge can last me till night... around 12hrs.... for a new battery, I will be mad if it's less than that with my usage (facebook, twitter, sms... mainly internet)
The function... for a mere phone, it's as good as other phones... can sms, mms, make calls, receive calls... download apps for some additional features to improve your experience like games, multimedia... while Apps Store has large chunk of apps to download, Android Market does this too...
The charging time... I had a feeling it's not any faster compare to other phones... well, i'm charging on USB anyway, of course it is... 500mA isn't gonna do much... though the 1A power adapter is pretty fast... but if charging for 3 - 4 hours gonna last you next 12 hours, i have no grudge about it...

The negative about iPhone:-

One serious thing, why the heck we can't choose the network we want to be on??? I mean, it's ok you only want to put us on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Maxis, DiGi, Celcom.... heck, I dont care anymore... back and forth they're almost the same (at least Maxis, DiGi and Celcom) but when you dont give us a chance to choose to be on UMTS or GSM, that hurts me you know... the bad thing about phones/mobile broadband modem is, they dont have enough intelligence when not to prefer higher bandwidth signal...

Like when you had one bar of 3G signal and comparing to 4 bar of EDGE, you should always prefer EDGE compare to 3G but most device will still prefer 3G and end up sucky connection, this is the thing that happening to iPhone 4
Some device might even always prefer to slower EDGE connection even 3G signal is good in the area just because EDGE has stronger signal while 3G signal will provide better bandwidth... however this wasn't the case with iPhone...
With other phone like Nokia that I used before (heck even mobile broadband modems too) will let us choose to use between UMTS or GSM or just let the phone choose... because of device auto preference is always stupid, I choose UMTS for the whole time unless I'm traveling far away...
Somehow in iPhone this thing is missing and it's killing me when it keeps on switching between UMTS and GSM. Ok, Jailbraking will solve the problem but that's not my option... my old Nokia dont even have to be hacked for me to have this options...

The OS... while it's one of the most beautiful aesthetically, it's one of the inefficient way of implementation... especially the multi-tasking (but I really prefer to call it fast app switching instead...)

Apple somehow have high confidence that their phone won't crash even when the memory overloaded like what happened to Nokia's Symbian... the thing is, you can't quit your apps... you have to terminate it... it's like when you running Microsoft Office on your computer, you dont have the "X" button on your top right, but instead you only have minimize button... to close the apps, please open the task manager and select the apps you want to close, click End Process.... very tedious... I still dont know what magical approach they did, but hey, I opened all my apps and never quit them, the phone is still not lagging... I got to give them compliment on that anyway... but the way they manage the task is not really good I think... I never had tested the Android's multitasking... so I can't really comment on it... But I do think iOS implementation is slightly worse than Symbians, solely because Symbian allows us to quit the apps properly rather than leaving it suspended...

The standardization

You can't use MP3 as ringtones, you can't change your text tones (unless jailbroken), you can't do this, you can't do that... seriously, this "no-choice-on-user" policy is getting more and more annoying...

So, as conclusion... iPhone might be good if you dont even use all of the options you have in your previous phones... but for me who will go and change every single possible options and settings (of course, without hacking) will cry over the lacking of options... yes, less options might be better for those who don't like to choose over choices they dont understand but it will annoy certain users who loves customization, personalization and certain critical options like network signal selection...

Who should own an iPhone:-

The person who don't even care about the hardware of the device (CPU, RAM, ROM etc)
The person who don't care about all those options he have and don't like to make decision on his own... always depends on others decision...
The person who think he is sophisticated, cool, and great by owning an overrated, expensive device that will not let you make decision...

I'm sorry iPhone cultist and fanboys... it's just not for me... though the fact that I already own it with 2 years contract, I had to live with it and make something good out of it... I'm pretty sure there's a lot more thing that can be done with this device, but for me it's more like "iPhone is iPod Touch + phone" rather than "iPod touch is iPhone without phone"...

yes, i see iPhone as the extension of iPod Touch... not the other way around like before anymore....

This review is done with iPhone 4 updated to iOS4.3 in hand....

What's the difference in wheel size???

2011-02-11T22:10:00.002+08:00

Last week my baby is glad to receive it's new wheel and new pair of shoes too... the OEM 15" wheels is swapped with 16" OEM from Neo CPS (a recplica of Advanti's Medusa from JRD???)

The front pair is wrapped with new Continental SportContact-1 195/50/16 while the other rear pair is wrapped with used Silverstone Synergy M5 205/45/16 transferred from our family's old Wira... based on my hand lifting, the Neo CPS wheel is definitely lighter than Gen2's OEM 15" which actually surprised me a lot considering it is OEM wheels rather than some super lightweight aftermarket wheels...

So, many might have been wondering... Does changing to a bigger wheel really do have impacts on handling performance of a car??? Well, to answer that questions let's watch the video below....

I experienced the same thing... even though I'm just changing from 15" to 16" instead of 18" to 19", but the feeling is more or less the same...

my recent drives with the wheels pretty interesting. Some of my expectations were met, and some of them are not...

So, what did I expect???

1. Lesser body roll
2. harsher ride/less comfort
3. better handling
4. lacking in acceleration
5. lacking in top speed
6. worse FC
7. inaccurate speedometer
8. Doesn't look that good as I have never liked a car with dark rims anyway...

so, the results???

1. to some extent, I did sense a little less body roll... but it is very very very minimal... I'd say if you're looking for body roll reduction, go for front+rear ARB plus adjustable suspension setup. though I dont know if we go for really really low aspect ratio tyres will it improve significantly at the cost of comfort...

2. harsher ride/less comfort indeed... since the OEM 195/55/15 is pretty high on the aspect ratio, the sidewall helps in absorbing the road harshness too... So, with lower profile dont expect the comfort going to improve... It won't... though I'd say the harshness excites me; except when I met a pothole... It's a pain when thinking about what torture the wheels received...

3. better handling performance... I'd say to some extend is true, though I'd sense it's a little hard to control the steering after the change... it seems to be like whatever harshness on the road can change the direction of the wheels... steering wheel get pretty sensitive and somehow become a little lighter/easier to turn the wheels... though I can feel the car hold on to the road better than before... I've tried one night pushing to the limit (that after I did I scare the shit of myself XP) i though I'm gonna understeer straight into the bushes, but i didn't... the tyre actually screaming but the car going as the steering directed it... pretty impressive i'd say... could be my tyre combo too preventing the understeer... :P

4. i dont know if this is true especially after almost everyone complaining about this, but I dont feel it... I just dont feel the loss of power here until I hit the top speed... I still feel the same acceleration as I felt before the change... it's either there are really no changes or my right legs just become heavier compensating the power loss... but, for the sake of being positive and optimistic about myself, I'd say there are really no changes...

5. Lacking in top speed... this one definitely is.... before changes I manage to hit 185km/h as claimed by Proton... but with this wheel, I can only hit 175km/h and that's it... the speed stay there....

6. Fuel consumption... I was a little worried when I was in the highway... but yeah, I drive pretty hard to push the car to its limit to test the handling so thinking back it's not really weird to have a very bad FC up there... but until today, I'd say there's only very minimal difference or there's no difference at all... it's almost the same with 15"...

7. I was concerned with this too... but because of my choice of tyre, the difference is minimal... based on the calculation I am supposed to be faster 1% compare to the speedometer... however, my GPS shows the same speed as speedometer... though I'd say that 1% is well within GPS tolerance so it might not shows up on the GPS anyway...

8. aesthetic wise, heck it's even better... once the set of wheels is fitted to my car, I dont want to take it off anymore... it just looks too good compare to 15" OEM XD

9. the unexpected side effect is, it seems to be the problems of weird brake sounds with old 15" OEM having less occurrence with new wheels... I was suspecting the weird brake sounds before is due to the brakes heating up coupled with problematic pads... but right now it seems to be the wheels have cooling effect on the brakes???

all in all, after driving with stock wheels for like 1.5years I had to change my driving styles a little bit to accommodate new handling characteristics of new wheels... even changing to bigger wheels does improve a little bit on the handling but I think it is minimal and not very significant... I would say spending the money to fit in all those Ultra Racing bars have a lot more significant improvement on handling and lucky me to get this set of wheels for free and only pay for RM120 for rubbers... XD

plus, considering the price of the rubbers also will make you have headache... and thinking about those potholes on the road of Malaysia, seriously it can make you cry...

Scamming???

2011-01-06T00:19:00.004+08:00

A phone conversation...

Promoter: Hi, saya dari bla bla bla sdn bhd, saya call nih nk menerangkan la tentang satu polisi kami bla bla bla... Sblm tu boleh saya tau apa nama encik

Me: MRL...

Promoter: Ok, en mrl. kami ade polisi yg baru dilancarkan semlm... Hanya org terpilih je yg boleh join polisi ni... benefit die byk ye en mrl... antaranya bla bla bla... So, boleh saya tau alamat surat menyurat en mrl?

Me: "no rumah", "nama jalan" "poskod" "bandaraya" "negeri"... b.... <-- (cuba bertanya soalan tapi dipotong terus, kecewa)

Promoter: Ok ye en mrl... premium polisi ni hanya RM52 sahaja, dijamin xkan bertambah sehingga 20tahun seterusnya bla bla bla bla bla... ok, boleh saya tau kad debit en mrl valid sampai bila? ada tertulis dkt dpn kad encik...

Me: 01/15... s... <--(cubaan bertanya gagal lagi)

Promoter: no yang tertera dpn kad tu? Me: xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx <-- (how stupid of me... again, tidak diberi peluang utk bertanya lagi)

Promoter: ok, dlm masa 14 hari dari sekarang en mrl akn terima satu black and white document dari kami tentang polisi ni. hari ini saya akn daftarkan nama en mrl terus kedalam sistem dan kad debit en mrl akan dicharge dlm next statement... setkt itu saj....

Me: tunggu dulu... tunggu dulu... saya ada soalan nih

Promoter: ye en mrl?

Me: maksudnya skang nih, nama saya terus didaftarkan, and saya akn dicharge RM52 kemudian baru saya dpt black and white utk decide sama ada nk teruskan atau x?

Promoter: kita ada satu tempoh untuk membatalkan polisi ini sekiranya en mrl x bersetuju slps baca black and white policy kami. kami x galakkan en berbuat demikian tapi en sebagai customer ada hak utk membatalkan polisi tersebut dan kami tak boleh berbuat apa2.

Me: Ok, kalo camtu saya xnk didaftarkan hari ni.

Promoter: Kenapa en mrl???? polisi kami bla bla bla bla bla...

Me: saya xperlukan polisi tersebut

Promoter: sekejap ye en mrl, saya pass en mrl dkt supervisor saya

Supervisor: Hi en mrl, polisi kami ni bla bla bla bla <-- (terang blk benda yg da terang lagi bersuluh)

Me: tapi saya xnk register hari ni

Supervisor: Kenapa en mrl xnk register?

Me: You guys dont even give me a chance to talk... You guys come and barge me with info and take my particulars like wanna scam me you know...

Supervisor: oh, so you're anger with our staff just now... it's ok... cmni en mrl, polisi kami bla bla bla bla...

Me: it's ok, I dont think it's necessary for me to take this policy.

Supervisor: so, en mrl xnk daftar? Me: yup... saya xnk daftar...

Supervisor: kalo mcm tu xpe la en mrl. *hang up*

ok, the conversation above maybe has been spiced up a little bit and person plus company involved are not disclosed.

the point is:-

1. this kind of business is allowed????????? I'm surprised.

2. they just take my particulars without me agreeing whether they should charge me or not, and then wanna charge me... yes, stupid of me also didn't ask first when I was asked about my particulars. But I can see this as a way of twisting words with unknowing people...

3. Not that I'm denying health/life insurance policy is good for you, especially what they offered me. I am actually about to accept the offer after listening to the explained benefit. But when you act suspiciously, I will seriously back off from the deal. The thing is, when it's too good to be true, It might have been a fantasy after all.

4. Seeing that, I am actually felt pretty stupid with me giving them some particulars, but the truth is I had no money in the said bank account. go on, charge if you can.

5. what makes me sad, this kind of business is conducted by an established group (as per claimed by the promoter)... kinda lost my trust with them now...

ehem.... New Year 2011!!!!

2011-01-01T19:00:00.004+08:00

*fuhhhh* *fuhhhhh* *fuhhhhh*

*dusty* *dusty*

As per usual, when it comes to new year, everybody started to talk about new year resolution... But how many of us actually do achieve what we have resolved??? hmmm... let's take a look at mine...

Secure a better job... this one's great... but not enough salary... to tell the truth, I miss Penang... hahaha...
To be a better man... less angry, less temper... is it possible???
Last year's resolution, to enjoy life more...
To be more secure financially...
To have some savings (although seems to be quite impossible...)

#1 is achieved... better job... heck, I'm back in Penang!!!!
#2 hmmm... i dont know... i can claim that I've been a better man... but did I???
#3 enjoy life more, I guess I enjoyed my life more than any other year before...
#4 secured financially... well, i'm not really secured actually... since I've been moving here and there and keep on using my savings in the mean time... so, nayyyy... i dont think this has been accomplished... let's carry it forward XD
#5 have some savings, well... i keep on using them... XD

so, what will be my new year 2011 resolution??

Want to have some big savings... (oh please, sikit2 lama2 jadi bukit ok...)
I want to be a better man than last year... better and better... of course we can't be worse right...
Hmmm... as I have enjoyed my life, why not enjoy my work also??
carried forward of secured financially... haha...
and carried forward savings....

KL kat mane bang??

2010-10-16T22:27:00.002+08:00

when i think about this, i'm laughing...

'twas a week before this, and me and my friend having a drink at a tavern right in the town called Kuala Lumpur or KL. when we done, we prepare to cross the busy street and here come a guy on a motorcycle stopping right in front of us, he asked "KL mane bang?"

i was about to burst in laugh, and almost said "ni bkn KL ke???" but heck his luck is with him, he ask again, "UniKL mane bang, dkt Kg Baru tuh, Kg Baru kat mane???"... and we like, "oooouuuhhhhhhhhhh... UniKL rupenyer..." and we give him directions...

dang, the busy street muffled the "Uni" leaving "KL" alone...

Happy mode + stress mode...

2010-08-06T00:45:00.002+08:00

I Miss My Baby + Price Hike (again??)

2010-07-17T00:20:00.005+08:00

hehe... oooo my baby... how are you... u're fine? uuuuuu... how i wish you are here right now... T~T

and I wonder, RON97 subsidy per liter is only 5cent??? and the government already make a very big fuss over that??? let's count... hmmm... let's just say, on average 1 citizen in Malaysia have 1 car (yeah, some might have 2 or 3 cars, or might even 5... but let's just put it on AVERAGE, OK???) and we have 28millions people (according to Wikipedia)... so, as per liter; RM0.05x28m = RM1.4m...

so, now let's just say on average, peoples in Malaysia spend 130liters of petrol per month, government will save 130xRM1.4m = RM182m per month... perrgghhhhh... that's a lot... and I wonder where will this RM 182m will go after this??? Pembangunan??? nahhh... Terengganu dont even have budgets for bumpy-roller-coaster road repairs... those "Stadium Runtuh" is still there (let's put the blame on those Ultraman and Raksasa for that XD)...

ouh, they also promise other stuff price will not shoot up... well, let's just see like this... let's just say (ok, i dont know the exact value, but let's just say as an example) 30 litres of fuel is needed to ship one container of goods from KL to Terengganu... so, for one trip now the cost has gone up RM1.50... and how does those tokey lorry absorb this extra cost? and what will it leads too?

ouh, I forgot... those tokey lorry already promise not to increase the transportation cost... they'll absorb all the cost... well, F&N Dairies already considering to mark up their goods' prices... not even 24hours have passed... oh, i forgot too... those so called persatuan-pengusaha-mknn-bla-bla-bla already promised not to mark up their pricing too... will those be possible???

i think it is indeed possible... not to increase the transportation cost, they might thinking shipping extra goods in one trip... pushing the limit of the weight... we might see more turtled lorry after this due to overweight issue??? let's just hope not...

ouh, those pengusaha-mknn-bla-bla-bla... we'll see honey-i-shrunk-the-kids version of roti canai, less nasi and mee in nasi and mee goreng, what's more???

it's just my prediction... history tell me the same story of his over and over again... i wonder how this time will be any different???

Guess what???

2010-07-13T22:53:00.002+08:00

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa............ bored... bored... bored... *headbang*

dont know what to write... need to think first what to write... but still want to write sumthing... so that nobody will write on my wall with date just to remind me to update this blog... hahaha...

my life now has been more in KB instead of KL... arrgghhhh... quite stressed traveling like this... it's tiring... *uhhhh*

it's not like i dont want to update, but i dont have nice interesting stories for the blog... maybe i had, but it has become outdated as i had time to write...

anyway, today... somebody had a creative way to tell someone to update his blog... check it out...

first update after one month...

2010-04-09T21:07:00.004+08:00

hahahahaha... it has been one month already??? kihkihkih...

what's comin??

1. i'll resign from MTESB Kuantan and move to KL... hehe... no accomodation yet... this is making me dizzy... huhu... but it looks like one of my 2010 resolution has materialized...
2. My baby will celebrate her first anniversary soon... this coming 15 April will be the date... as stated on her roadtax... yippeeeeee~~~

First Cleaning Project For My Baby

2010-02-18T19:52:00.002+08:00

hehe... been away for some time... last post is early february (isn't it???) and now it's almost the end of february... like i said last time, my life has been boring...

but then, to spice up my life a little bit... I got cleaning project for my baby...

common problem with Campro CPS engine is the lube oil sometimes overflow at the cap and messing the outside of the engine... just look at the 'before' pictures to see what I meant... so, I guess i should clean up a little bit and i was thinking to DIY...

got the degreaser from Giant... and prepared some water + shampoo (Sunsilk is used here, so my baby's engine smells so damn nice XD)

Before:

After:

can see the difference from here

The results:

The top engine cover is very clean now... However, there's plastic part of the cover (which I though a piece of painted metal initially) and the degreaser seems to damage the coating of the plastic... not sure how will that effect the beauty of the cover in long term... huhu...

what so ever, the engine bay is now looking very nice

Why why why???

2010-02-09T23:12:00.002+08:00

Why u haven't update ur blog for the last 2 weeks haaaa??? hahahaha...

the truth is, my life has been so boring that i have nothing to write here... everyday 24/7 in my mind is all work related... it's boring... there's even one time i was thinking to quit my job and become a business man... hahaha~~~

anyway, i am so looking forward to this coming holiday of CNY... can have holiday at home at last... so gooooodddddddd.... tired of those works... especially the project that haven't finished and can't be finished because lacking information... arrghhh...

Few Bugs Noticed on 5800XM V40 firmware...

2010-01-24T00:20:00.005+08:00

Yup... I noticed a few bugs already... but all are minor in my opinion... except one that could shorten the life span of a component...

1. While charging, sometimes they dont dim and put out the LCD backlight. I need to unlock and leave it there so that the autoguard will take care of the dimming and putting out the backlight... This most likely to happen when you put in the charger while the phone is already locked...

2. The lock release backlighting back came back... What I mean is, let's say the phone's lock and screen is black... then you pull out the charger so the backlight comes on to show a notification... then when you immediately unlock ur phone it will goes dark... then u'll have to lock it again and unlock it again... this bug was partially fixed on V31 where it doesn't always happen except with accessory putting in or out...

3. The phone perfoms sluggishly at startup... seems to be like the new home screen hogging most of the resources while starting up... but after a while, it works faster than before... touch response has improved... more sensitive... handwriting recognition is a little bit better than before but still a pain in the ass... ouh, handwriting got it's own bug actually... they sometimes can select and overwrite the previous text...

4. Yup, the new home screen is great... but the contact bar doesn't response to sliding in manner... sometimes they misintrepret the slide as a click... it's slightly painful to use that feature...

5. This isn't really a bug... but it's a very big problem to us user of 5800XM now... the protection has improved too much and now it can't be hacked... and i think somehow they got a list of blacklisted supplier of apps... so, certain cracked software can't be installed... still not sure how to overcome this... but yeah, it's a pain in the a$$...

I sux bad tonite...

2010-01-24T00:12:00.002+08:00

as we all know, 5800XM is a very buggy phone... thus, before the comes of v40 I had a very bad experience with all the bugs in the phone... But I dont bother to do anything about it since it won't solve anything... ironic isn't it??? doing nothing to solve everyhting... hahahaha...

anyway, my phone has accumulated some problems although not major yet annoying the eye looking upon it... two icons of the same apps... this all because of few updates done by the nokia...

so, since I already update to new firmware i guess a hard reset would be good to identify new bugs and solved bugs... hard reset is a pretty much like a process where you format your phone and re-install the OS... literally, it's returning the phone to factory setting...

anyway, since I want a fresh restart I also want to format the memory card... so, I made some backup on my important files on the phone... and guess what??? I though I backed up everything, yet I dont... I lose my videos, South Park Season 13, and my work folders (which contains my CV...) and this is totally sucks...

Silly me, I though I backed up everything... EVERYTHING!!!! yet everything's gone... arrrgggghhhhhhh.... and i'm actually stressed out... since all those data is actually from my crashed SATA HDD... stupid stupid stupid...

Nokia 5800XM Received Its Major Update!!!!

2010-01-21T22:01:00.003+08:00

Yeahhhhh... The long awaited firmware update from Nokia!!!!! The best feature update from Nokia for it's most famous handphone, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic numbered as V40.0.005...

As we all know, most 5800XM user have been dreaming for Kinetic Scrolling when all other Nokia's touch screen phone have this feature. Even with same hardware spec as other Nokia's touch screen phone (including N97) but being the first touch screen phone seems to be like Nokia made this phone as their experiments with new Symbian S60V5 Platform...

Coming along side by side with Kinetic Scrolling in this firmware update is also the long awaited new Home Screen... New Home Screen now features shortcuts bar accomodating 4 shortcut at the bottom and Contact Bar on the above of the home screen... Now we can put in more than 4 (max 20 if i'm not mistaken, correct me) contacts and we now can scroll through the contact bar... However, I dont really like the response we have on the contact bar... But, something is better than nothing... it's useful, just need to get used to it...

If you open ur music player, there'll be a widget with player control on the home screen... Other than seeing what song is playing, now you also can control your music on the home screen...

All these home screen features is pretty much like an extract to 5530... None of the bug list can be confirmed yet although there's a few rumours on big bugs fooling around with the firmware but all seems to be about the memory card... Still need to be confirmed on this...

Anyway, this is a big step for us, 5800XM user... Even though Kinetic Scrolling did not cover all parts of the phone, however most of long list part in the phone have Kinetic Scrolling now... Along side of new home screen and kinetic scrolling, these are listed as changes also:-

* Kinetic scrolling everywhere except: main menu, application menu, browser;
* Home style widget with Nokia 5530;
* QWERTY Keyboard Auto Rotation (on text input screens);
* Refresh Icons “Sharing Online”, “Configuring Accessories”, “Configure Phone”;
* New screen alarm, but only when the screen is locked;
* Improved application “Updating Applications”, which also renames Upgrade SW;
* The application “Data transfer” was also implemented in “Settings”;
* Real Player Updated to 12 October 2009;
* Ovi Contacts installed;
* Removed Download! (Ovi Store still available)
* Touch more responsive;
* Improved stability;
* Slide to Unlock during call
* New contact & music widget.
* New screen alarm, but only when the screen is locked.
* New screen incoming call, also only when the screen is locked.

This latest update is now available via Nokia Software Updater (NSU) or On The Air (OTA) update...

Ending My Hiatus...

2010-01-20T22:37:00.002+08:00

Yeahhhh.... it's been, errrr... is it ok if I'm saying I'm ending my hiatus??? it's only been few weeks... hahahaha... well, at least 2 weeks have passed since my last entry... just now I have a decent working laptop...

well, since last time my laptop got burned and the repair cost is more than 1k, I fetched my old laptop from home (for those who knows, yeah it's my Hyundai M-Life). This laptop have been giving it's best service since 2005 till 2010... five years already...

however, past few weeks since I get this laptop I've been stuggling to use this laptop as it can never give me the response I needed... I'm mad, I'm crazy, bebel xtentu hala, the only thing left to do is running outside and scream "aku gillleeeeeeeeeeeeeee" XD

Imagine this, even with classic theme it takes almost 1 minutes just to open a browser... My Computer takes nearly 30seconds... crazy rite??? At first I thought it was Windows consuming too much resources, but heck after I tried Ubuntu Karmic Koala thing gets even worse... it even hang up in the Ubuntu environment... stupid fella... then I figured my Mozilla Firefox is taking too much resources in Windows, then I tried Google Chrome... hell yeah, it gets a little bit better... however, things still stuck and slowly response to my every request...

well, then I figured... New version of softwares is all optimized for two-cores CPU while my laptop is single core Pentium M 1.6GHz... it never catch up with new software....

Thanks to filehippo.com, they still keep old software installers in their server... so, I downloaded old Mozilla Firefox, old YM8, and old Skype 2.5... all softwares are dated back up to 3 years back... hahahahahahahaha... Now, everything works like charm... no more slow response, no more hiccups...

Things Done:
= Remove IE8
= Remove Google Chrome
= Remove YM 9
= Remove Skype 3.8
= Install Mozilla Firefox 2.0
= Install Skype 2.5
= Install YM 8

Laptop Spec:
= Intel Pentium M 1.6GHz
= 256MB DDR RAM
= 40GB HDD

Lesson Learned:
= With such spec, dont even dream big to use latest software... They dont help no matter how fast they claim their software is... XD

My laptop is pronounced dead....

2010-01-03T15:24:00.000+08:00

Ok, right now i'm writing from my phone. My laptop refused to turn on. Giving me headache.

Arrgggghhhhhhhh......

New Year 2010!!!!!

2009-12-30T19:20:00.003+08:00

yup, new year is around the corner (though the actual new year already passed around almost 2 weeks) and people start talking "hey, what's ur new year resolution?" and "how's last year's resolution??"

well, let's review mine... on 1st Jan 2009, i did post these as my resolution...

to be better than last year
to achieve more than last year
to enjoy my life more than last year
to secure myself a JOB!!!
to grad... hoho...

let's see, did I achieve any??? yuppppp... ho yeahhhh... congrats to myself...

did i achieved everything??? I think... to grad... well, i grad, convo already... check... secure myself a job... check... enjoy my life more than last year... hmmm... hope i could enjoy more... most of the time i'm having financial problems... so, nope... uncheck... to achieve more than last year... hey, I already got a job, got a car, yes I achieved more.... check... and last one, to be a better person than last year... so far??? less baling2 barang, less amuk2... although too many2 maki hamun while driving... but hey, less baling2 barang2 and less amuk2... improved right??? checked... hahahaha.... good job MRL... good job...

so, what about next year????

Secure a better job... this one's great... but not enough salary... to tell the truth, I miss Penang... hahaha...
To be a better man... less angry, less temper... is it possible???
Last year's resolution, to enjoy life more...
To be more secure financially...
To have some savings (although seems to be quite impossible...)

I think 5 is enough... or should I add 6??? get a girlfriend, engaged and get married???? wahahahahahaha.... well, my parents started to worried about that issue now, ain't them??? the thing is, I wonder why they ask my sister about this instead of coming straight right at me... XD

The Stupidity of Designer....

2009-12-18T22:48:00.002+08:00

In online registration form, you said a password can't exceed 8 characters...

And in the form, you limit the password field to 8 characters already... so, it's safe... we'll never fill in more than 8 characters...

But in the login form, you don't limit the password field to 8 characters and user can enter as many characters as they want... what??? you think that's good ah???? you think everybody gonna read your small printing saying your password is limited to 8 characters ah???

And then you expect people to notice when they fill up the password field, the star doesn't come out anymore after 8th characters???? stupid fella... bloody hell...

if you limit the registration form, limit the login form too you stupid.... and if the password is wrong, state there "Wrong Password" instead of "Please Try Again After 3 Minutes"... I mean, how the hell ppl gonna know they entered wrong password because of your limitation while you keep asking them to try again after 3 minutes????

I hate this kind of service, but it seems this kind of service is normal if it comes from Malaysian company...

I take one week to figure out that Celcom OCS's "Please Try Again After 3 Minutes" means "Wrong Password" after login at their main OCS page (which is not for MNP, again, why the hell MNP user got different kind of treatment???) saying the password is wrong and try again after 3 minutes...

I urge you to fire this kind of engineer who designed the system... Can't event think to convey "wrong password" msg...

Malaysia 1-0 Vietnam... Gold Medal bebbbbb...

2009-12-17T20:36:00.002+08:00

I just finished watching the live broadcast of football men final of Sukan SEA Laos... The result, surprisingly Malaysia managed to win the game with 1-0.

I have to say, i'm surprised... they played so nice even though there are mistakes here and there... but still, the quality of their game has improved a lot... this is one of malaysia's best game ever... at least the one that i watched... hahahaha...

even though the goal is somewhat a lucky goal but they deserve it... the move that lead to that lucky goal deserve a reward...

Congratulations Malaysia!!!!! Malaysia's U23 team has proven that they can do it!!!! Let's keep this kind of game play consistent for the next tournament...

I only heard this in the Hitz.FM once in the car and attracted to it... nice song... just like what I love...the vids is not that great even it has nice dance routine... anyway, this song is not like nowadays musics that require videos to enhance the effect... the songs do just fine on its own... enjoy...

So leave it behind cause we, have a night to get away,
So come on and fly with me, as we make our great escape.

(Chorus)

So baby dont worry, you are my only,
You wont be lonely, even if the sky is falling down,
Youll be my only, no need to worry,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Dowwwnnnnn, Dowwnnnnn,

(Verse 3)
Even if the sky is falling down like she supposed to be,
She gets down low for me,
Down like her temperature, cause to me she zero degree,
She cold, overfreeze,
I got that girl from overseas,
Now she my miss America,
Now can I be her soldier please,
Im fighting for this girl,
On a battlefield of love,
Dont it look like baby cupid sent his arrows from above,
Dont you ever leave the side of me,
Indefinitely, not probably,
And honestly im down like the economy,
Yeahhhhhh

(Chorus)

So baby dont worry, you are my only,
You wont be lonely, even if the sky is falling down,
Youll be my only, no need to worry,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Dowwwnnnnn, Dowwnnnnn,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Downnnnn, Downnnnnn,
Even if the sky is falling down,

Through My Window

2009-12-10T23:01:00.000+08:00

Don’t want much, I just want everything
Thought that I could, do almost anything
One step in front of the other
Thought that I could do it alone

In the blink of an eye, it’s just another day
Telling me why, I’ll find another way
Got this feeling, got me reeling
I can almost start believing

Now there’s me and you
And we are not alone
You and me, me are together now
Through my window, I can see there’s
More than you and more than me

Me and you, And we are not alone
Different view, We are together now
Through my window, I can see
Our wildest dreams could be so real

I see a spark, it starts a fire
Is this the one worth waiting for?
Thought that I could do it without you
Can’t exist like this anymore

Now there’s me and you
And we are not alone
You and me
We are together now

Through my window, I can see there’s
More than you and more than me

Now there’s me and you, you and me
We are not alone and we are together
Through my window I can see
Our wildest dreams could be so real

Aizat - Just One Boy

2009-12-06T23:40:00.003+08:00

I have to say, the first time I listen to the song in GSC Queensbay Mall, Penang (Talentime) it does catch my attention... the song is nice, catchy... and what's best is I thought it's american singer...

then i find out, it's Aizat from AF and this song is his writing... I have to say, he's good... I like the song... enjoy!!!

Just one fruit from one tree,
Just 1 rumble mumble to 1 beat
Can send 1 boy climbing climbing

Just 1 drop from 1 cloud
Just 1 itsy bitsy twist and shout
Can send that same boy running, running yeah

Aah..there's a four leaf clover sitting in the sun
It's been waiting for someone like you
But there's really, really no one but you
Tell me you're the one

Could it be magic
It must be magic
Tell the truth, are you my only one?

Just 1 word from 1 girl
Just 1 lovey dovey we control
Can make 1 boy crying crying

Oh..I don't care what you say
I'm gonna steal 1 kiss when you look away
And send this boy flying, flying yeah

Aah..there's a four leaf clover sitting in the sun
It's been waiting for someone like you
But there's really, really no one but you
Tell me you're the one

Could it be magic
It must be magic
I wanna talk like you
Wanna walk like you
Gonna kiss like you

Aah..there's a four leaf clover sitting in the sun
It's been waiting for someone like you
But there's really, really no one but you
Tell me you're the one

Could it be magic
It must be magic
Tell the truth, are you my only one?
Tell the truth, are you my only one?
Tell the truth, cause I love you

Dalam lembah yang gelita
tak nampak wajah
apatah nak ku melangkah
merangkak pun payah
percik api menyala
bagai satu petanda
jauh mana kan ku damba....

dalam jiwa yg cedera
tak nmpk cinta
apatah nk ku gembira
tersenyum pun paksa
bibit kasih mu dinda
susah mana pun aku akn menyusurinya
oohhhh...

air mata ku tahan
mengalir lesu dalam kalbu
dingin lalu membeku
menjadi bukti luhur niatku...

dalam hidup yang gelora
tak nmpk dosa
apatah nk bercinta
merindu pun dera
kerdip sinar dimata
bagai satu petanda
sukar mana kan ak puja
ooohhhh....

air mata ku tahan
mengalir lesu dalam kalbu
dingin lalu membeku
menjadi bukti luhur niatku...

hanya kepadamu
tinggal harapan kasih buat diri ini
kembali berasmara....

air mata ku tahan
mengalir lesu dalam kalbu
dingin lalu membeku
menjadi bukti luhur niatku...

fiq - bukti

Bahasa Melayu Bahasa Kebangsaan???

2009-11-22T23:48:00.003+08:00

oleh sbb ak nk bercerita pasal bahasa melayu atau kini dikenali sbg bahasa malaysia, maka ak buat entry ni dlm bahasa melayu... di ingatkan, ini adalah sama seperti tajuk blog ak "Uncle Garfield is Thinking" maka ape yg ak tulis hanya sekadar fikiran ak dan bkn berniat untuk menimbulkan sentimen perkauman ke, membangkang kerajaan ke, menyokong kerajaan ke, politik ke, ape jadah sume tu... apetah lagi nk mengutuk mane2 pihak... jd, jgn la anda sume tibe2 nk terasa, kecik ati, pastu komen pedas2 kat entry nih... sape mkn cili die terasa pedas... tp kalo korang komen ak terasa pedas, selaku penulis blog ni ak berhak untuk remove comment tersebut kan... so, kalo kene remove jgn la kate "eleh, die tu kutuk org boleh, org kutuk die xboleh plk..." ak punye blog, ak punye suke... nk kutuk ak, sila la ke blog anda sendiri... hahahahahaha...

ok, ckp ngan kate2 dan ayt2 pedas... nnt xckp air nk kene minum... kembung perut ssh... terus kepada cerita kite... ptg td ak ade la tgk BWF Super Series China Open dkt channel Astro SuperSport... ak ni bkn la suke sgt channel ni tp da org bukak, ak join skali je... ak mula2 xde la amazed sgt tgk die punye game tu... psl ak mmg xminat tgk acara2 sukan nih kecuali acara taekwondo dan formula1... tp, bile da abis la game single final antara China vs China... then ak amazed tgk die punye event... ok, ak jujur... mula2 ak kutuk diorang dlm hati "ape la mereka2 nih... buat event international, grand nk mampos... tp backdrop chinese, announce chinese, promote pon dlm chinese... abis tu cmne org lain nk phm??? korang2 je la phm..." cmtu la lebih kurang ayt ak... tp lps dlm 3 4 saat tu ak terpk blk... "hebat betol diorang ek, bangga dgn bahasa diorang... walaupon org xphm, tp die punye bangga tu sampai memperkenalkan bahasa diorang kat international event cmni... baru la bahasa budaya bangsa... xknl maka xcinta ek... kalo xbwk kuar bahasa kite kat event2 cmni cmne org luar nk tau bahasa kite kan... xtau, maka xknl la, maka xcinta la..."

tibe2 ak terpk plk... event Formula1 Malaysian GP di Litar Formula1 Sepang... apsal kite gune bahasa inggeris ek??? hmmm... mgkn sbb FIA restrict suh gune bahasa inggeris kot... tp, apsal tibe2 ak rs cam ade GP yg pakai bahasa mereka sendiri??? ntah la... ak rs je kan... xsemestinya betol... walaupon ak rs cam mmg ade GP yg announcer die xpakai bahasa inggeris... tp ak xsure...

lps tu, ak terpk lagi... kalo kite tgk China buat international event, Japan buat international event, Korea buat international event, sume masing2 byk pakai bahasa sendiri memperkenalkan bahasa sendiri... tp kenapa bile Malaysia buat international event, byk pakai bahasa inggeris berbanding bahasa melayu???? ok, mgkn bile time xde lintas langsung mereka pakai bahasa melayu la kan... tp bile time nk buat lintas langsung ke, bg hadiah ke, medal ke, ucapan ke mostly in english... backdrop, promotional... ntah la, ak je kot xperasan bile diorang gune bahasa melayu... tp, bile lame2 ak pk... xnmpk ape yg dilaung2kan "memartabatkan bahasa melayu"...

ape bukti nyer??? bile masing2 sume xnk gune bahasa melayu tp sibuk nk memelayukan bahasa inggeris.... kenapa ak kate begitu??? ok... contoh2 adalah seperti dibwh...

1. bile satu band muzik di malaysia buat lagu dgn tajuk "mencari konklusi"... hmmm... konklusi atau conclusion dlm bahasa melayu nyer adalah kesimpulan... xboleh ke wat lagu tajuk "mencari kesimpulan"... kalo nk kate perkataan kesimpulan tu xwujud dlm kamus bahasa melayu, boleh jgk ko nk amik perkataan luar jdkan perkataan kite cam televisyen, telefon dan sebagainye... tp perkataan inggeris sibuk2 kite nk amik jd hak kite replace ngan benda yg kite da ade buat ape??? kate bahasa budaya bangsa... perosak budaya betol la...

2. tema anugerah juara lagu yg lepas... iluminasi muzik??? iluminasi atau illumination bermaksud pencahayaan atau sinaran gitu la lebih kurang... so, xleh ke gune "sinaran muzik" atau "pencahayaan muzik"... kenapa nk memelayukan perkataan illumination tu sedangkan kite da ade perkataan yg sesuai utk digunakan??? ak rs media la yg patot menjalankan tanggungjawab memartabatkan bahasa melayu... tp yg diorang buat, replacekan perkataan kite ngan bahasa org...

patot la org indon makin lame makin mrh kat org2 malaysia ek... makin lame kite makin menyerupai mereka.... amik perkataan2 dari bahasa inggeris, jdkan perkataan kite...

p to the s: ak bknla pakar bahasa, ak bknla bijak sgt bahasa melayu nk komen2 kutuk2 org kan... tp tibe2 ak terpikir benda nih... bahasa rasmi blog ni pon english, not malay... entry ni pon bm nyer tunggang langgang... tp sbg seorang melayu, ak terpk jgk benda ni....

Aril AF7 - Menatap Matamu

2009-10-29T15:58:00.003+08:00

Since AF3, I'm not really into this AF thingy (including their songs, not to say those instant artist) but somehow I just feel this song is just too good... I'm not the type who likes malay songs too much (not because i dont support malay, but they are not just good enough) but this one really caught my ears and the lyrics is actually kinda good... kinda poetic... like a love poem... huahuahau... jiwang sat...

anyway, enjoy...

Sungguh indahnya hari berlalu
Menunggu kasih tambatan hati
Ingin rasanya selalu berbagi
Bersamanya kala suatu nanti

Andai kan kau jadi milikku
Selalu ku nyanyikan lagu rindu
Andaikan kau dan aku bersatu
Dunia ini berseri selalu

Ku ingin dirimu dekat di hatiku
Berdua kita kan raih bahagia
Ku ingin dirimu turut merasa
Rasa rindu untuk menatap matamu
Menatap matamu...

Bagaikan bintang nun jauh di sana
Terangi malam yang semakin gelap
Jika kau sudi menemaniku
Takkan ku lepas walau sedetik pun

Andai kan kau jadi milikku
Selalu ku nyanyikan lagu rindu
Andaikan kau dan aku bersatu
Dunia ini berseri selalu

Ku ingin dirimu dekat di hatiku
Berdua kita kan raih bahagia
Ku ingin dirimu turut merasa
Rasa rindu untuk menatap matamu
Menatap matamu...

I'm Impressed....

2009-10-22T00:49:00.003+08:00

I am really impressed with you guys... as my readers... maybe i'm just not good in making a joke like my entry before this... but I'm surprised, no response at all from anyone... at least, tell it's noob or lame or sum negative comments... but no response???? what? am i too good or am i too bad??? or u guys already know about it??? or what??? hahahahaha...

anyway, let's do some catch up with my life...

currently pursuing National Sports Council (NSC) Sport Science Level 1. it's a 5 days course, 4 days lecture and 1 day exam. hopefully I'll pass and won't have to repeat the paper... hehe... it's a course teaching us about coaching and the sport science in general and not sport specific. and this course is under SPKK (Skim Persijilan Kejurulatihan Kebangsaan) and part of the requirement to obtain SPKK Level 1... With this certificate, i'll be at equal level with those guys who obtained their bachelor degree in Sports Science (and it's pretty much like i'm a guy with two degree already... hahahahahaha...)

in waiting, the VLSI training provided by Symmid... well, i'm still waiting the result of my application and the venue of the class, either it is Kelana Jaya or UMP... well, as far as I know they still receive less than expected participant so I'm still thinking about being in Kelana Jaya even i'm hoping for UMP... also, waiting for those calls for job interview... hopefully there'll be at least 2 or 3 calls for interview this time... if not, i dont know what to do anymore... might change my career to taekwondo after this...

Why native americans (the red indians) are called the red indians...

2009-10-17T00:52:00.003+08:00

One day, Christopher Columbus made an appointment with the Indians (not the Red Indians, but the real Indians in India) and set sail from Europe...

And since Christopher already promised they're coming to India, these indians make all the preparation to celebrate Christopher... the planned celebration is so grand...

And Christopher set sail to India with crews in his ship... and the indians in India wait and wait and wait for Christopher... Amazingly, this Christopher never did arrived on the land of India... and those Indians started to get mad... they said, "where's this Christopher... he's so bloody late..."

While at the same time, Christopher and his crew get lost in the middle of their journey... But, not wanting to hurt his reputation among his men Christopher said they're on the right track and just move on with their journey until they found a land named America... Christopher met few of the native people of the land and he don't recognized them... but for the sake of his pride and reputation, he said "here we are in India... Look, that's Indians"

so, that's why those native american is called Red Indians... it's just because a man is lost and accidentally found another land and doesn't want to admit his mistakes...

p to the s:
1. as been told by Russel Peters and re-interpret by me...
2. the convo photo's are already uploaded... kindly check my facebook photo album...

I'm Sorry...

2009-10-12T23:43:00.003+08:00

I'm sorry everyone... it looks like the entry on the 4th UMP Convo will have to be delayed due to problems with my laptop's display... the piccas are still in the cam and not uploaded yet...

Please be more patient and wait for them to be here... sorry for any inconvenience caused...

Awesome... (15sx, Parental Guidances Are Necessary)

2009-10-08T11:24:00.004+08:00

Do you know one of the reason why I like "How I Met Your Mother" sitcom very much? of course on of them is it's awesome (how awesome can it be other than 3 lame guys with 2 girls trying to look cool, hillarious...)

but another thing is, they try to make real every and each of things mentioned in the sitcom to other people... whatever things that people might get an access to, they will do it making the story like a true story that is actually happened on the planet earth...

First, the bro code... they actually published a book (also an audiobook) called bro code for other people... of course this is pretty much like their merchandise... but then, the Awesomeness Motivational Poster of Barney... FOC with DVD (unfortunately only within US)

It doesn't stop at there... Websites mentioned in the sitcom almost all are made real... the sites are published right after the sitcom mentioned it in one episodes... one of them, TedMosbyIsAJerk.Com although the site later got changed the URL and redirection is done... Heck, they even made a counter site too... TedMosbyIsNotAJerk.com

Plus, one episodes where the discuss about Robin's celebrity encounter where she said celebrity would do weird things if they want to have sex... while that, Barney mentioned about Canadian Sex Act and they even made it real... but eventually removed...

a lot of other tie-ins and you can check here. There's lilyandmarshallsellstheirstuff.com, the Dr.X by Ted, Barney's video resume, Wedding Bride Movie...

What's interesting, while they always mention Barney had a blog and it is real (in CBS server, check it out here) now they mention about Barney tweeting in Ted's Robin 101 class... and heck, it's there!!!!!! it called Broslife

While CBS have their original copy of Barney's Awesomeness poster, but they use a fan made poster which looks 99% alike... at first I didn't realize it but noticed the similarities that the background have with my wallpaper... after a while, yeah it's 100% the same poster with the one I have... why didn't they use their own???

p to the s: sorry for delaying on the convo... hehe... i'll put it up later today...

한남자가 있어 널 너무 사랑한
한남자가 있어 사랑해 말도 못하는
니 곁에 손 내밀며 꼭 닿을거리에
자신보다 아끼는 널 같이 내가 있어

한여자가있어 이런날 모르는
사랑받으면서 사랑인줄 도 모르는

han namja ga isso nol nomu saranghan
han namja ga isso saranghae maldo mothanun
ni kyote son nemilmyo ggok taulgoriye
jashinboda agginun nol kachi nega isso

hanyuhjagaisso ironal morunun
sarangpadumyonso saranginjul do morunun

There's a man. Who loves you so much.
There's a man. Who can't even say I love you.
By your side I put my hand out and
at a path were you can always reach me
I, who cherishes you more than myself, am with you.

There's a girl, who doesn't know I'm like this.
Who receives love but doesn't even know that it is love.

p to the s: entry on convo later... it's not like any of you care...

I'm Messed Up

2009-09-30T02:48:00.001+08:00

Okay, right now it's 2.52am and I got a lot of things to be done tomorrow...

1. I need to wash my shoes early in the morning (due to some stupid kids making a cilibo or chili paste a blowing bomb dirtying everything in 1meter radius, should've slap that stupid kid real hard) and since it's a sport shoes (running shoes while at it) the paste even got into the inside of the shoes through the breathing vents...
2. I got to send my baby for next service... it's gonna be minor service and I'm suspecting like RM200++ will grow wings and fly out of my wallet...
3. I got class in the evening, straight right to the night...

and right now, I'm still not asleep... and now, i might not be able to sleep because I'm too worried if I'm not waking up early tomorrow (which is kinda weird, shouldn't I be asleep if I'm worried about not waking up early tomorrow??)

heck, it'll be a tiresome day... there's more... on thursday got to drive to Kuantan for my convo... hell yeah, it's gonna be an awesome and tiresome weekend... or maybe, not only awesome... also awe-"a whole lot"... hehe...

ouh, please dont think what i mean by awesome or awe-"a whole lot" is i'm gonna get a chance of meeting 'her'... though I'll admit I might be happy (if anything goes well), but it also might be awful... and I'm not looking forward for the happy things, but more to awful stuffs...

Ooooooo crappppp!!!!!!

2009-09-23T23:16:00.005+08:00

I'm very very very da lucky tonite... my baby almost kissed a vios in front... i'm lucky i'm not in wira... damn traffic... and more lucky when another wira brake till his brake is locked up and screech, almost kiss my baby's a$$ but manage to steer away from my baby... or else, i'm going to be in traffic station tonite... phew...

the story is, the traffic on the Sultan Mahmud Bridge is smooth as silk at 65km/h when suddenly it comes to a sudden stop... somehow, the vios in front of me managed to do that sudden stop, and i depressed the brake as hard as possible not in sudden manner to avoid the car behind me kissing my baby's a$$... I managed to stop in time however not for wira behind my baby... isk.... lucky for it to escape by changing lane... plus, not many cars on the road too... if not, well... i'll be in the police station yet again...

My Baby

2009-09-22T11:57:00.003+08:00

Yaaaa.... lot of people have ask me to put up these photos of my baby... but sorry everyone for the lateness... good cameras is hard to come... plus, i'm out of cam for quite sometime when my phone broke and now I already got the replacement (gonna post it up for review later)...

so, like what Lenka said, "just enjoy the show"

You can see the scratch from up here... ouch... dont know where it comes from...

Nice...

Shineeeeeeeyyyy.... errrr... bkn k-boy band SHINee ek... Banjak banjak~~~

My fierce baby, brought me up to 180km/h already...

A little chip on the bonet... small stones fly with the car at high speed... damn...

I know how Howcast channel from Youtube can be so random. They got tips from the simplest things on earth up until the most complex thing you could think of, including hitting women...

However, it never occured to me that they'll make something like this... a how-to video on fasting for Ramadhan... it's actually pretty nice tips... except for one thing that they might be misunderstood or maybe a different teachings from us, the perfume is not forbidden though not encouraged...

enjoy!!!

Sleepwalking

2009-09-06T23:16:00.001+08:00

Upon 6th September 2009, I realized something weird about me and it ain't good...

At 5am, it's sahur time... I am still asleep and suddenly I had this weird dream with blurry vision. It seems to be like I'm off from my bed, open the door out of my room without any particular reason or objectives. I just do it without any intention of going out and it's all blurry... And yes, I am confident that I am still in my sleep mode and I am confident that I am dreaming at that time.

After a while, I sensed something is wrong... And I opened my eyes and at that particular time, it's pretty much like I was waking up... and to my surprise, I'm already at the dining table with foods in front of me... LOL... I sleepwalk to sahur!!!!!!!! Luckily I still didn't feed myself yet. God knows what would happen if I'm sleepeating... ROFLOL...

And, for whatever reason... this actually proves, I sleepwalk... arghhhhhhhh....

My weight is reduced, again...

2009-09-01T22:36:00.003+08:00

Yeah, believe it or not... Somehow i manage to pull this off... last time when I was in Penang, my weight is 89.5KG....

Last month it downed to 85.3KG... And tonite, I weigh myself again... I'm on 82.9KG... Marvellous......... hahahahahahahaha....

In 2 months, I manage to pull off around 7KG.... Wallaaaauuuuuuuuu..... Congratulations to myself...

There's Gotta Be Somebody For Me Out There...

2009-08-23T01:21:00.002+08:00

This is what I feel...

This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I´ll be waiting for the real thing.
I'll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we´re meeting
will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I`ll be holdin’ my own breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

`Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There`s gotta be somebody for me like that.

`Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Tonight, out on the street out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right
It´s just like Déjà Vu
Me standin’ here with you
So I´ll be holdin`my own breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There´s gotta be somebody for me like that.

`Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

You can´t give up!
Lookin´ for that diamond in the rough
You never know but when it shows up
Make sure you´re holdin` on
‘Cause it could be the one, the one you´re waiting on

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There has gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhhhh.

Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There has gotta be somebody for me out there.

Insomnia???

2009-08-22T02:17:00.003+08:00

Lately i somehow being insomniac, cant sleep at nite. Only very late at nite... I dont know why... huhuhuhu... Right now, i'm trying to make myself sleepy so that I can sleep and wake up for sahur on time later... arghhhhhh... tired of this...

Anyway, other than being insomniac I also dont know what to write in here so I guess I'll just ramble and rustle in here until I fell asleep. emmmm... currently i'm in big dilemma and frustration... should I change my career field to sports after this??? seeing how easy I could get a job in this field right now and how hard it is to be an engineer... yes, i always said "go with the flow"... in fact, whatever i've achieved today is the results of "go with the flow"... But, after I get a degree from "go with the flow" it seems to be a little waste if I dont go and pursue for engineering job. but then, job in engineering is also quite hard to get right now (or is it me that not looking hard enough????) and I can also do good in coaching and managing... so, what should i do??? which way should I choose???

but that seems to be more like dilemma rather than frustration... so, there must be something else that I'm frustrated about. yup... may be when someone said I was once special suddenly now thinking i'm boring, i dont know... may be it's just me being more boring or suddenly there's someone more interesting than me.... i guess, i just miss being someone's need and be able to see that someone happy after her needs is fulfilled...

Whatever it is, I just want to put my mind at rest. Because there're still tomorrows to think about that'll surely bring more dilemmas to me... aihhhhh... i'm in soooooooo negative state... can someone come and cheer me up, bring the sunshine upon my face and make me happy once more??? why why why????

should i take whatever moral of the story from How I Met Your Mother??? let go and just wait for the answer??? screw the plan. because we can't design our life??? like i designed a digital thermometer for my microcontroller project??? or maybe not.... people keep saying failing to plan is planning to fail... but what if whatever we planned is keep on failing???? or is it we planned things wrong??? i dont know... i'm out of ideas... hahahaha...

maybe, i should just stop and get that teaching job... huh... Happy Fasting!!!!

Falcon 4.0 Allied Force + FreeTrack Demonstration

2009-08-18T01:53:00.003+08:00

Hi all,

I did promise you guys before the demo video for a game using FreeTrack so that you can see how good they are. Here's my demo from one of the campaign mission.

Microsoft Windows Se7en RC1 Build 7100

2009-08-01T11:40:00.006+08:00

Hi all, it's been a while...

People has been talking that Win7 have been very great and improved a lot from Vista, but we never know until we take it for a spin in our own world and laptop. But not all people would love to test a software (OS especially) before it goes to final version of it. However, I've decided to give up Vista and try the magnificent 7 of Microsoft.

Before we goes up to anything, up until the time of this article written, there will be 20 more days before the download links are removed from Microsoft Windows' website. So, after you finish reading this article and decided to take it a spin on your own, please do it so in the next 20 days or you'll miss the fun.

The Start

Let's get started. I've tried to download the installation image disc from Microsoft but what happen is the so called download manager by Microsoft using Java is a BS and a total mess up. The download keeps on disconnecting and failing every now and then. So, I decided to go for alternative way. Go out, buy an installation DVD (though it is very expensive in Terengganu, it's RM20!!! but better than nothing) and get a valid serial key from Microsoft. In order to obtain the validation key, all you need to do is register a Microsoft account (be it Hotmail or Windows Live) and you'll get the key.

Next, before we install it we need to make sure that your computer is able to run the Windows. Roughly, your computer must have these hardwares:-

1GHz X86 or X64 (be it AMD or Intel) Processor
1GB RAM for x86 or 2GB RAM for x64 system
16GB HDD space for 32-bit system (x86) or 20GB HDD space for 64-bit system (x64)
DirectX9 graphic with WDDM 1.0 and higher

Practically, most of our recent computer should be able to run Win7 without problems especially when you are able to run Vista. As for our test bed, the system will have

AMD Turion64 X2 TL-62 (2.10GHz)
2GB DDR2 SDRAM
250GB HDD (with 32GB free space)
nForce n630/GeForce 7150M chipsets.
DVD writer drive

Now, it's time to start installing the new Win7. Since, i'm starting from Vista I guess an upgrade option is a wiser choice so we dont have to backup most of the stuff in this 125GB partition. It's just a click here and there installation process, however it takes almost two and a half hour for the installation process to complete. It does take quite a long time compared to Vista installation. However, the long process is once and for all.

The Desktop

The desktop of the magnificent 7

Once the installation is finished, looking at the desktop... It really does look nicer in the picture rather than having them in our own monitor. The boxy taskbar, the glass effects even when the windows is maximized, it does look weird at first. I personally like the looks of Vista however, I like the functions provided by Se7en. So, let's just bear with it first.

The desktop icons are hidden as I like my desktop clean like that. However, the functionality, the looks and other stuff about the icons is pretty much the same as Vista. So, i dont worry much about that. The difference of Se7en and Vista before on the desktop other than having a different taskbar, the gadget is not stuck with sidebar anymore. The sidebar window pane has gone now and the gadgets looks more free now, however the concept is still the same with Vista's sidebar. You can drop it anywhere on desktop you just organized them on the edge of your monitor.

Next, is the taskbar. The taskbar now evolved more than ever. The quicklaunch menu is removed and all your program running listing is not the same anymore. You can pin any of your favourite programs to your taskbar and launch it directly from taskbar. However, you dont have to worry about the clutter on your taskbar as the list is already incorporated into the button. So, if you already pin a program, no more additional stuff to show the program is runnning, only a highlight of that button. However, a new button will appear and disappear if unpinned application is opened and closed.

The start menu is not pretty much difference from Vista. So, how does it performed compared to Vista???? Is it any good????

The Start Menu

The Performance

A simple 770MB copying from one partition into another partition of same disc is quite fast, clocking less than a minute rated up to 15.5MB/s is unachievable in my Vista SP1 before. Win7 is surprisingly responsive compared to Vista. Everything feels so light and opening My Computer is faster than any other OS I've used before. So, after all it does improved slightly. Also, when one process is hogging up CPU resources and hanged other process can effectively running without much problem although running at slower speed but still better than slowing down all the way that it becomes nonoperational.

The temperature is slightly reduced to. I havent seen my CPU temperature dropped until 56°C and the GPU is right under 72°C while idling. Playing video could bring the CPU up to 64°C and GPU till 78°C. Well, it's reduced by few degrees as before playing a mere video is good enough to bring it till 80°C++

Flip3D

New features and functions has come as well. If you want to stack up two windows for comparison, you dont have to resize them manually, instead you can just drag the windows to the edge of the monitor and everything is done for you. The Flip3D is retained with better performance and smoother operations. The windows preview from taskbar has become more powerful. You can preview the thumbnail from the taskbar directly, even if you have multiple windows and if you hover the mouse over one thumbnail, a real preview on the desktop is then shown.

Windows preview on the desktop, note the glass effects showing that there's another windows on the desktop

The Compatibility

The biggest haunt of operating system industry for us users and consumers is compatibility. Will newer OS be compatible with my existing softwares and hardwares??? Microsoft claimed that whatever they found running on Vista will run on Win7. However, they dont mentioned about the one running on Vista with compatibility settings and UAC off. So, I put some old software to the test. I've tried running Adobe Photoshop CS, Maxis' The Sims (all expansions is there) and a very old game Dark Colony. While Photoshop CS is a little bit unstable on this Win7, it is operatable. Dark Colony which run successfully in Vista with Windows XP SP2 compatibility also run successfully in this version of OS. However, as for The Sims that managed to run well on Vista without any tweak failed to run successfully without tweaks. You can play but you can't save. Error shows up and the game is not saved. However, with compatibilty settings set to Windows XP SP3, everything is settled and the game ran without a problem. But I still cant get my Daemon Tools to run. After all, whatever is running in Vista, will run on Win7. However, since this is a release candidate and not final I would like to see some improvement on compatibility especially with Photoshop CS.

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.12

As for the hardware compatibility, as what Microsoft said, whatever run on Vista will run on Win7 seems to be true. None of my hardware is having problem . Everything works like charm even on Vista's driver (or perhaps the windows already replaced the driver with another driver?) Also, the system rating rated by Windows has improved. In Vista, I got 3.0 score while in this Win7, it improved to 3.1... not a major improvement, but still it means something. It means that Win7 can run more effective on low-end system after all compared to Vista.

The Problems

It all looks great. Doesn't seem to much buggy after all. But major bugs is still there haunting any new OS without great solution. First one to notice is the all new Windows Media Player 12. One of the features from WMP12 is it have 2 modes, one for now playing and another is Library list modes. The now playing works like charm with lower CPU usage compared to WMP11 in Vista. But when you switch to library mode, everything is so messed up. It tries to rebuild the database of your media files everytime you run the WMP12 that it consumed 50% of cpu resources plus it'll hanged. It seems this is one of the biggest bug the WMP12 is having right now and everyone tried to stay away from it for the time being. Next is the Indexing Service. Indexing Service is used by Windows to make the search faster and easier but it comes at a great cost of performance. This has even existed in Vista and caused minor performance problem and some even choose to stop the service. This service is retained in Win7 for it's usefullness but it still buggy. It consumed 100% of the CPU usage while indexing forcing me to stop the service and not to use it at all. That's the only two problems noted in this OS so far.

The Conclusions

So, how good is the magnificent 7? will it worth the wait rather than buying original Vista right now? I would say, if you want a great OS, dont go and spend your RM300 on original Vista right now. It's better if you wait for this Windows Se7en to be finalized and released for retail. The windows is great and good enough compared to Vista. Despite being a release candidate, I'd use this as my main OS without any second thought. This is pretty much a good OS.

The Pros

Stable and good despite few compatibility issue. Again, being a release candidate it is expected.
Performed better than Vista. Improvement is seen.

The Cons

The Indexing Service is very bad.
WMP12 is very buggy on the library mode

Head Tracking Unit with FreeTrack

2009-07-22T23:01:00.005+08:00

TrackIR 4 Pro camera

Ever heard TrackIR??? I bet none of us have ever heard that except for those who are very concern about their gaming experience. Well, the story goes like this. Some hardcore gamers find out their control of perspective (using mouse for First Person Shooter, or Joystick's Point-Of-View Hat for Flight Sim, or buttons for racing sim) is not enough to cope with their needs of awareness sensitivity and sometimes information overloading start to burden these pilots. They need something that can upgrade their situational awareness so that they are aware of what happening around them (to check his 6 o'clock for bandits let's say).

Then, TrackIR comes with the solution manufactured a head tracking device. This device will track your head movement and they will simulate the movement into the game's perspective. TrackIR is using a specially developed camera to detect either the reflection of infrared from another source or the infrared beam itself. The reflector or the source of infrared often put into a baseball cap. This solution is great giving a player the luxury of natural head movement in looking around, but the solution is expensive. Especially for us Malaysian that will needs to order the device right from US.

However, another alternative solution is available right in the net. FreeTrack is a program that will provide you the ability to track your head movement as in TrackIR however it is not an expensive solution. The program is available totally for free. The only thing you need to spend is the hardware for the program to detect your head movement.

My 1 point cap configuration circuit

I've been experimenting with this tonight and what I say it is brilliant and nothing less compared to TrackIR (from the vids that I've saw saying they're using TrackIR). The head movement is quite natural if you can calibrate it perfectly. I'll upload a video of the demo later. Let's talk about the hardware of the head tracking device first.

What we need is LEDs, resistors, wire, and battery. Of course to assemble a circuit you gonna need soldering iron. The amount of LEDs and resistors needed depends on the configuration. FreeTrack supported 4 types of configs, 1 point cap mount, 3 point clip mount, 3 point cap mount, 4 point cap mount. 1 point cap configuration will give you 2DOF, that is up-down and left-right. With 3 point clip, 3 point cap and 4 point cap you can get 6DOF those are up-down, left-right, roll, x plane movement, y plane movement and z plane movement. However, 4 point cap is a little hard to assemble so I tried to assemble a 3 point cap mount as it is not ideal to create a clip for that. However, after few test I found that 3 point cap configuration is a little bit hard to calibrate as 1 tracking point usually will be out of sight after few degree turn. So, I then change my plan to 1 point cap configuration.

My prototype of head tracking device

FreeTrack do recommend to use infrared LEDs, however a simple visible red light LEDs is good enough for tracking purpose.

Another important hardware is a webcam. A normal regular webcam is good enough. You can get them in computer store cheaply. Not even for hundred bucks. Logitech's webcam is good but you can save the money if you are playing on your laptop with a built-in webcam.

Total cost for hardware will depends on your configuration and without the battery, it won't reach RM10. Plus webcam, it should not be more than RM90. I bet, this could be done only within RM50 budget.

As for the software part, you can download it from FreeTrack Website and a little config is needed. First you need to set various settings of your camera like brightness, contrast all to zero. And when you push the button start in the software interface you'll adjust the threshold until you can only see one tracking dot(s) marked with a cross. Then, you can adjust the sensitivity.

The interface of FreeTrack, notice one white dot in the blackbox, that's the tracking dot detected by the camera

I tested my 2DOF 1 point cap with Falcon 4.0: Allied Force (a really complicated flight sim) and it comes out great. I can check my six faster than before and never actually lost track of a bandit with its radar locking on my six. I even managed to figure out what to do (which I never did before due to info overload, again this is a very complicated flight sim that would take months to master with 800 pages of manual) and bring down that MiG-29 to its doom. However, I still need a few more practice with this device until I came to master the control. Well, with only few minutes of practice I can actually figure out to make the bandit overshoot and bring him down with my AIM-9L, it's very good. Before this I can't even shake them off. Haha....

So, instead of spending USD99.90 or RM359.40 (and that is without tax and import duty) it is really worth it to spend half an hour making this and spend another RM50 for a webcam.

p to the s: a review on the Falcon 4.0: Allied Force is coming soon. Wait for it. Like I said, it would take months of training to dogfight in this game effectively. It's pretty much like flying the real F16 out there without the hard 7G giving you GLOC.

Apple iPhone... Is it really worth it???

2009-07-19T02:15:00.003+08:00

It seems to be that recently, Apple iPhone is one of the latest hit gadgets in the world. Everyone wants to own an iPhone. It have become part of the world's latest lifestyle. But it only come exclusively with carrier packaged subscription. Luckily for us Malaysian, we now can have a taste and feel the luxury of iPhone brought by Maxis with their own iPhone package subscription. The big question is, is it worth it????

I don't really want to touch the rate that Maxis brings in for the iPhone subscription, but the RRP (Recommended Retail Price) as stated by Maxis and the price tag used by them to sell the iPhones without the discounts that come with the subscription to their Hotlink prepaid customers. The RRP for iPhone 3G 8GB currently offered by Maxis is RM1990 while iPhone 3GS 16GB is RM2490 and iPhone 3GS 32GB is RM2990.

But, if we check the details given by Apple, the RRP for iPhone 3G 8GB currently is at USD99 which means ~RM350 (given the current rate at the time of writing as in the knowledge of the author is USD1 = RM3.60) and as for the iPhone 3GS 16GB is USD199 or ~RM716.

So, comparing to what Maxis offered us is ~6 times the original price quoted by Apple for iPhone 3G and ~4 times the original price of iPhone 3GS... What happen? What makes the price gone crazy like that? Is it the tax? Is it the import duty?

If it is the import duty, why Nokia could sell their Tube (5800XM) at ~RM1.5k while being USD350, way more expensive compared to iPhone 3GS... Or is it because iPhone is 100% imported and Tube is assembled in Malaysia??? I dont really know about that.

But, as far as the ridiculousnous goes for Maxis' pricetag on iPhone I would say stay away from a phone that is so sophisticated yet can't use MMS service until recently.... Because for me, it is totally not worth it to pay RM2.5k but can't even use a simple basic features like MMS (again, until recently) and until the reason why the price tag difference is too much by Maxis is revealed, I think it might be a good reason not to buy an iPhone.

Shower at nite = Pneumonia?????

2009-07-13T23:25:00.006+08:00

First of all... *blow* *wipe* *sweep*...*cough cough*...

okay now... more than one week... hehehehe...

for now, another controversial theory from our ancestor... You go take shower or bath at nite, you'll catch pneumonia (paru2 berair... bukak wiki kalo xtau....) for sure... if not now, there'll be the old time... hmmm... I'd like to catch your attention... Some say that you get pneumonia from the cold ambient and water temperature when you shower... anologous to an iced water in a glass, condensation occur, vapour in the air becomes water on the glass surface.... while the lungs is hotter containing hotter air than ambient temperature making the vapour in the air condensate and water droplets formed in the lungs.

there's one article saying that most of pneumonia patient have one favourite sport activity that usually played at night, it's Badminton (really, it's bad for your health than.. it's already said BADminton) since they usually played at night, after the game before they go to sleep they usually take a shower... same as most athlete in this case... most athlete will have night training session so before sleep they usually take shower... I was once an athlete, once a sport team manager, i know my players' activities and my activity...

So, is it true that you'll catch pneumonia if you take shower at nite???? some says doctors dont recommend it and some says doctors said it's ok... which one we want to believe??? is it a myth? or is it true???

let's see, what is PNEUMONIA actually... From Wikipedia (yeah, I know wikipedia is not 100% accurate and yadda yadda yadda, present another article from another reliable source then...) on Pneumonia, Pneumonia is an inflamotary illness of lungs and often described as lung parenchyma or alveolar inflammation and abnormal alveolar filling with fluids... The cause of pneumonia are virus, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and another one is idiopathic where the cause is unknown (no wonder it sounds like idiot, it trully is)

So, there's no statement saying definitively that taking shower late at nite will cause pneumonia... maybe it can go under idiopathic, but since the doctors and the experts can't even determine it thus the name of idiopathic we can't definitely says taking shower late at nite is one of the cause of pneumonia...

It is however, based on article from Google... it seems to be true that a badminton player will catch pneumonia... Allahyarham Datuk Sidek is said from few articles having combo of pneumonia, diabetes, hypertensions and the ultimate is the kidney failure. Is it true that the pneumonia he's having is caused by taking shower late at nite after training his kids or just simply because of it is BADminton??? haha... just kidding... dont be mad... what i'm saying here is, is it definitely the late nite shower or is it because of something else seeing he got a cocktail... I've tried to find another article saying an athlete having pneumonia but so far, we haven't heard Misbun, Jailani, Rashid, Razif, Beckham, Datuk Lee Chong Wei, and other famous athletes catched pneumonia... I dont know, my be it's just me.... If you got some articles, let me know... however, what i'm thinking here is, the pneumonia is actually not from shower late at nite but simply because the way the shower is taken here is not really correct. Or it can also be other reasons from staying out late at nite.

One of the tips taking shower or bath is, you wet your body from down below and come up to your head. This way your body would've take the least shock from temperature change. Also, it would be bad if you taking shower straight away with your body all sweaty... you should let the sweat dry first before step into the shower... So, what's the verdict here???

But then, the anology of iced water in a glass... it does make sense isn't it??? well, then it could be simply solved by taking shower with warm water. How's about that??? Oooo crap... it's the ambient temperature is too low... But then, warm water??? it should reduce the effect compared to cold water right???

I've read one article about shower late at nite in Utusan Malaysia in Kesihatan pull out... The doctor they interviewed says that it's ok to take shower late at nite... He even recommended few ways to take shower... It is recommended to take shower maximum 20min. But depends on the individuals, it can be reduced if the individu has illness related to coldness (as in temperature) like flu or some other illness, or even simply because you can't stand the cold water... the individu can take a shower in 5min or 10min... if you have water heater at home, it's recommended to take the shower with warm water especially if you can't stand cold water. After the shower, make sure you dry your body and hair with tower thoroughly or you'll catch cold or flu afterwards because of extended exposure to cold temperature.

And come to think of it, isn't prolonged cold and flu could cause infections in the sinus and moved to the lungs also which could lead to pneumonia too????

Leave your comment if you get some good ideas to be discussed...

It's time to boycott KFC????

2009-06-18T16:07:00.003+08:00

It's not because israel products, or american products or anything like that... it's quality issue... KFC's food quality nowadays are very bad despite the price and the cleanliness 'A' grade...

Yesterday, I bought KFC as my dinner and one of the item is my favorite Zinger... What happen is, without me realizing they give me a very old Zinger... the burger has already shrunk, the bun is hardened... the cheese is already dried out... and of course and as usual, the vege is already blackened...

It is beyond edible... I dont know how long have the burger is made but I can be very sure it's probably already been 24hrs... since it is a take away, so i can't give any complaint to them coz no proof... and i'm not bother to go back to the restaurant again... plus, my cam is already dead... so no picture too.... ARGHHHHHHH.... go to hell...

To Anonymous Cowards...

2009-06-08T20:15:00.005+08:00

Quoted from one of my anonymous reader's comment...

"KUALA TERENGGANU: An eleventh-hour decision to use a space frame design for the roof of the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium could have led to its collapse on Tuesday morning.

A decision was made at the last minute to cover the grandstand area with a space frame roofing to add a "curvy, grandeur and sophisticated" look to it.

The source said this, coupled with a looming deadline for the opening of the Malaysia Games, was a recipe for a disaster waiting to happen.

"It was done in a hurry and everyone in the engineering field knows that a space frame design is not an easy thing to build. Besides the difficulty involved, it is also a more expensive option," the source said.
According to civil engineering terms, a space frame is constructed from interlocking struts in a geometrical pattern using steel tubes.

-Quote from The New Straits Times Online, 4th June 2009-"

"Nice" comment for spaceframe design. But why not ask the people who really know?

Just wanna tell you guys... this is the last time I'm attending to such cowardly anonymous comment. After this, anonymous comment like this either will be treated as rubbish or it will be ignored...

Okay, i take it "Nice" comment as not a really nice comment... so, if i'm wrong (which i am 100% sure i am not) please let me know...

In this case, I'm quoting the things from The New Straits Times Online (at least what he is quoting from my entry) and they already said the "the source" is someone who is involved in the project... so, I hope you can accept that... the reason I'm quoting from newspaper is they are the easiest source of something big like this.... So, if you have problems with it, suck it... dont read it, ignore the entry and wait for another entry on another issues...

again, i state here... I'm not a civil engineer, nor someone involved in the project... so, when you read my comments, my thought on something... please and please and please... dont be a sponge... absorb everything I'm giving here... If there are wrong info that you know of, leave me a message so I can make a correction... dont do such impression "aiyaaa... this guy just nk hantam2 gomen je... dont care for wrong info..." I am not a guy who can't accept his own mistakes... so, if you know the truth just state it include the statement quote and I'll publish it here... and do not make it Anonymous... as it most likely being ignored after this because I'm not giving any attention to cowardly comment...

Also, when I make a comment based on newspaper report, please treat it as newspaper report too... newspaper reports tend to mess up few details, so do i when making comments especially based on an already messed up newspaper reports....

So, rather than telling me to ask someone who already knew... why dont you go and check my source if they're already from someone that already knew... if not, come and tell me... if yes, deal with it...

DONE...

Few Investigation Results on Stadium Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin's Roof

2009-06-04T11:52:00.003+08:00

He said the defects were spotted during the opening of Malaysian Games (Sukma) and the state PWD was alerted about it.Ahmad said he had chaired several meetings with PWD officials and told them to expedite the remedial works.The Armed Forces, he said, also reported that the structure was unstable when they attempted to abseil from the roof during the opening ceremony of the stadium last year.

Ahmad revealed that he had personally spotted defects on the airport roof which required immediate remedial works.

“The finishing at the airport looks shoddy,” he said.

-Quoted from The Star Online, 4th June 2009-

KUALA TERENGGANU: Menteri Besar, Datuk Ahmad Said, semalam mempersoalkan kelewatan Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) membaiki kerosakan struktur bumbung Stadium Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin yang runtuh kelmarin, sedangkan masalah itu sudah dikesan sebelum Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) Ke-12 diadakan di situ setahun lalu.

Bagaimanapun, katanya, JKR tidak mengambil sebarang tindakan susulan seperti dijanjikan dan hanya mengadakan mesyuarat dua minggu lalu selepas beliau menghubungi jabatan berkenaan seminggu sebelum itu bagi mengingatkan perkara berkenaan kerana stadium itu akan diserahkan kepada kerajaan negeri, November ini.

Ahmad berkata, Exco juga memutuskan supaya JKR membuat pemeriksaan segera terhadap beberapa prasarana lain yang baru disiapkan, termasuk Lapangan Terbang Sultan Mahmud (LTSM), Pusat Akuatik Batu Burok dan Stadium Tertutup Negeri bagi mengelak sebarang kejadian buruk.

"Saya nampak bangunan berkenaan (seperti) ada yang tak kena... tak betul. Kita bimbang kerana ada atap bangunan LTSM yang tercabut... mungkin sebab ribut dan kebocoran juga berlaku.

-Quote from The New Straits Times Online, 4th June 2009-

So, after all... to summarize this, Defects spotted since SUKMA's Grand Opening, means JKR have one year to rectify this but no action taken... The root cause is still, the rush works due to SUKMA's timeline and because you want to boast to other people, you decide to use something expensive, sophisticated yet hard to build but you want to build it in rush... not much research could be done... Well, what a complete disaster recipe...

JKR is totally screwed up this time... and now, the Airport got structure problems too... Well, until there'll be one death, JKR will keep having the free spirit and yeah, until then I hope there'll be no more JKR... You guys have screwed too many buildings...

And yeah, projek mee maggie should not be initiated anymore... yeah, i know... you guys have a schedule, but if the schedule is not good enough this is what happen you know???? Coz, something like this wouldn't happen if things are not done within it's minimum time... You know, something like building a frame will take minimum 5 days, but optimum is 7 days, then you said "5 days and make it earlier if possible!!!"

More on Stadium Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Collapse

2009-06-03T09:26:00.005+08:00

This news has made it to the front page of the newspapers today.

Bumbung Stadium Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, Kompleks Sukan Negeri di Gong Badak yang bernilai RM292 juta dan menjadi venue utama Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) 2008 runtuh menyebabkan kira-kira 50 peratus daripada strukturnya musnah.

Kerosakan melibatkan bumbung di bahagian timur stadium sepanjang 400 meter.

Ia menempatkan pintu masuk utama, pintu A, B dan B1 ke tempat duduk awam dan tempat duduk tetamu diraja serta orang kenamaan (VIP).

Tiga pegawai Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) Terengganu termasuk pengarahnya, Ahmad Sabri Hussin berada di tempat kejadian bagi mengumpul maklumat serta keterangan berhubung kejadian itu.

-Utusan Malaysia Online, 3 Jun 2009-

KUALA TERENGGANU: Sebahagian bumbung Stadium Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin di Kompleks Sukan Gong Badak di sini, runtuh semalam menyebabkan timbul pelbagai persoalan kerana stadium bernilai RM292 juta itu baru setahun digunakan.

Dalam kejadian jam 9.30 pagi itu, struktur bahagian bumbung di tempat duduk utama termasuk Pentas Diraja ranap dan menimpa sebuah kereta, tiga motosikal serta sebuah jentera berat yang diletak berhampiran kawasan itu, tetapi tiada kemalangan jiwa dilaporkan.

Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, ketika mengulas kejadian itu, mengarahkan kerajaan Terengganu melakukan siasatan segera kerana ia tidak sepatutnya berlaku berikutan stadium itu baru disiapkan dan digunakan pada Sukan Malaysia (Sukma), tahun lalu.

“Hal-hal sebegini yang menyebabkan kita tidak berpuas hati... adakah kejadian itu kerana kontraktor, perunding yang tidak melakukannya dengan betul atau pihak yang mengesahkan kerja akhir tidak membuatnya secara teratur.

“Ia mungkin juga disebabkan hal-hal di luar jangkaan yang kita tidak tahu,” katanya pada sidang media selepas merasmikan Majlis Titian Gemilang kelima di Dewan Tunku Canselor, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur.

Stadium yang boleh memuatkan 50,000 orang itu, dirasmikan oleh Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin pada 10 Mei tahun lalu dan yang pertama di Asia dibina menggunakan sistem bumbung tanpa sokongan tiang.

Muhyiddin berkata, beliau memahami jika kerosakan hanya berlaku sedikit dan bukannya membabitkan keruntuhan yang teruk.

Menteri Besar Terengganu, Datuk Ahmad Said, berkata kejadian itu dianggar membabitkan kerugian kira-kira RM25 juta.

"Memang kita dukacita dengan kejadian ini, tetapi saya bersyukur kerana tidak ada yang cedera. Kebetulan tidak ada sebarang majlis berlangsung dan pekerja yang sedang melakukan kerja pembersihan stadium juga selamat," katanya.

Insiden itu berlaku sehari sebelum Kejohanan Sukan Staff IPTA ke-34 yang sepatutnya bermula hari ini hingga 13 Jun.

Berikutan kejadian itu, kejohanan yang dijadual disempurnakan Menteri Pengajian Tinggi, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin pada 5 Jun, dipindahkan ke beberapa lokasi lain.

Sementara itu, seorang jurutera sebuah syarikat kejuruteraan tempatan yang mahu dikenali sebagai A Mohamed, mendakwa beliau sudah memaklumkan kepada beberapa agensi berkaitan mengenai keadaan struktur bumbung itu yang melengkung.

“Keadaannya semakin ketara sejak beberapa minggu lalu dan saya sudah membuat aduan yang disertakan gambar mengenai keadaan struktur bumbung yang terdedah kepada bahaya, tetapi tiada tindakan diambil.

"Lengkungan pada struktur bumbung tanpa sokongan tiang itu dapat dilihat dari jauh dan setiap kali melihatnya saya bimbang sesuatu yang buruk akan terjadi dan kebimbangan saya menjadi kenyataan hari ini (semalam)," katanya.

Pengarah Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Terengganu, Penguasa Kanan Bomba 1, Pauzan Ahmad, berkata runtuhan itu membabitkan bumbung sepanjang 80 meter daripada keseluruhan 134 meter di kawasan tempat duduk utama termasuk Pentas Diraja.

“Kami mendapat maklumat pada jam 9.45 pagi dan tiga jentera yang bergegas ke tempat kejadian sampai tujuh minit kemudian dan terus membuat penilaian bagi memastikan tiada mangsa terperangkap dan menentukan adakah akan berlaku lagi runtuhan," katanya ditemui di tempat kejadian.

Seorang juruteknik elektrik, Hanafiah Osman, 27, pula berkata dia sedang membaiki lampu jalan di luar stadium itu apabila mendengar bunyi besi berkeriut sebelum struktur bumbung berkenaan runtuh.

"Keadaan ketika itu sungguh mengerikan. Walaupun sedang dalam ketakutan, saya turun dari tiang untuk cuba menyelamatkan kereta saya tetapi sudah terlambat. Rakan saya juga terpaku melihat kemusnahan itu," katanya.

Kereta Perodua Kancil milik Hanafiah yang diletak berhampiran kawasan itu ranap apabila ditimpa runtuhan bumbung itu.

-Berita Harian Online, 3 Jun 2009-

Bold sentences proves my speculation is not just any speculation. People have noticed that and worried, still no action??? And, can't SPRM just wait a little bit until the root cause is determined???? Well, unless you already know that there's corruption involves and you need to cover them up asap, there's no reason for you to be there... at least for the time being. It's not like you are the one who examine the rumbles...

KUALA TERENGGANU: If the roof of the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium had collapsed today instead of yesterday, thousands of lives may have been lost.

The collapsed roof damaged several vehicles in the car park. — NST picture by Rozainah Zakaria
The collapsed roof damaged several vehicles in the car park. — NST picture by Rozainah Zakaria
For the stadium was scheduled to host the Public Institutions of Higher Learning games which would have seen thousands of competitors and spectators packed in the year-old sports arena.

Although no lives were lost, the collapsed roof has left numerous red faces in the state.

Calling it an embarrassment that had tarnished the country's image, Works Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor lashed out at contractors for not building a proper structure.

Shaziman said the ministry would investigate the cause of the collapse and an in-house consultant would evaluate the damage.
A car and three motorcycles parked outside the stadium were damaged when about 80 metres of the roof collapsed about 9.30am.

Most of the debris crashed onto the grandstand of the RM292 million ringgit stadium.

"People will say that in Malaysia, not only newly constructed buildings collapse, but even ones earmarked for demolition," he said, referring to the collapse of the Jaya Shopping Centre in Petaling Jaya, Selangor on Thursday, which killed seven Indonesian workers and injured two others.

"There should be no compromise when it comes to selecting the best experts for such jobs."

Shaziman was speaking after visiting the site yesterday afternoon. Also present were Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said, state secretary Datuk Mokhtar Nong and several state executive council members.

On opposition politicians' statements that they would lodge a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission on the matter, Shaziman said there was nothing to hide and the ministry would cooperate with the MACC.

Said said the stadium was issued a temporary certificate of fitness by the Public Works Department just before the Malaysian Games last May, although none was required for a government building.

He also estimated damage at RM25 million, adding that a Korean contractor was appointed to construct the roofing structure.

"We don't have the details of why and how it happened but we will wait until the investigations are over," he said, adding that the stadium would be closed until repairs were completed.

He also said the stadium was still under the main contractors', Bina Struktur Sdn Bhd, Emarcon Sdn Bhd and Genggam Mercu, two-year warranty.

-New Straits Times Online, 3 June 2009-

Now I see what SPRM do there... Report has been lodged??

However, the stadium only get temporary CF only for SUKMA... then nothing has been done to re-done the inspection???? No wonder SPRM is there...

Stadium Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin's Roof Collapse... FInally...

2009-06-02T22:02:00.008+08:00

Based on latest reports I received, the roof collapsed at 7.30am, 2nd June 2009 without any wind, storm, tsunami nor earthquake... 1 Perdoua Kancil and 4 motorcycles is the only victim. No other casualties reported. I'm still waiting for the pictures from my parents in Terengganu... hopefully they'll come in soon so I can have them in here...

So far, this news only appear in blogs and Berita Harian Online (from what I know). No root cause has been determined so far yet only few speculation from me (and supported by few others) which could be the most valid the true cause of this incident.

The root cause is the weakness either in structural integrity or material defects. It is however, 7 months before this incident (early December 2008) the roof (the one that collapsed already) have few noticable deformation. Few broken supports noticed. Probably due to rush works to catch up with SUKMA 2008, few defects and mistakes were ignored.
The most important thing is, they got more than 6 months to rectify the problem yet at the end of April 2009, the problem is yet to be rectified. I saw them with my own eyes as I was at the stadium that time. So, why the problem hasn't been rectified when you already have more than 6 months before the roof collapsed???? Only they can answer the question...

Anyway, that's only my speculation. I am not an architect nor civil engineer... It's up to you either to believe, think, or dismiss my opinion. But still, 6 months?????

Hopefully more pictures will come in and I can show them here.

updated 2/6/09 2311hrs... picture came in and uploaded... these pictures are not faked...

Grrrrr.... How could something like this happen...

Well, first and foremost... *blow* *blow* *debu berterbangan* haaaaachiuuuu... *sniff* *sniff*... waaaaaaa.... it's already almost one week since last entry... haha... guess, i've become quite busy plus no idea what to push in as new entry...

right now, hmm... a little bit mad... I got work to do with the machine and currently the machine is down... grrrrr... When I want to use it yesterday, it is being used by other team... and when it's free this morning, the machine breakdown already... haiyaaaa... how come this happen r??? what's more frustrating, the technicians said that the vendor will come in for repair in short time (and the vendor is not yet being seen in the lab) and now the machine is restricted for use (with labels, means it probably for a long time)... wonder if it'll make it this evening... but as per schedule, the machine is occupied this evening... looks like i have to postpone my job again... *sigh*

Step Up 2 OST... By Cassie - Is It You... Nice lyrics and when combined with piano music, it's very nice...

I'm looking for a lover not a friend
Somebody who can be there when I need someone to talk to
I'm looking for someone who won't pretend
Somebody not afraid to say the way they feel about you

And I'm looking for someone who understands how I feel,
Someone who can keep me real and who knows always
The way I like to have it my way
And I'm looking for someone who takes me there,
Wants to share, shows he cares
Thinking your the one that I've been waiting for

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me? (Could you be?)
Could you be the one I need?

I'm looking for someone to share my pain (Uh)
Someone who I can run to, who would stay with me when it rains
Someone who I can cry with trough the night
Someone who I can trust who's heart is right
And I'm looking for someone

**And I'm looking for someone who understands how I feel,
Someone who can keep me real and who knows always
The way I like to have it my way
And I'm looking for someone who takes me there,
Wants to share, shows he cares
Thinking your the one that I've been waiting for

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be this one I need?

Don't Take for grant
How much I care (How much I care)
And appreciates that I'm there
Someone who listens
And someone I can call who isn't afraid of thought to share

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

The Ignorance of People...

2009-05-24T20:49:00.004+08:00

I dont really know, how come one person block another person's walkway without any guilty feelings... I know, it's hard to find a parking spot around here... but please, what if somehow I need to get out fast for some sort of emergency... and there you go, your car is behind mine/right in front of my gate...

The one in this pic, this one is still ok since I can go out without problem... only if I want to go out driving, i will have problems... but last nite, I got an Estima park right in front of my gate to the level that it's hard for me to go out myself.... yeah, i know you are so kind hearted, visiting a relative/friend who had lost someone... but please, dont f**king block my way you bloody idiot!!!! you're lucky enough coz i m not really in the mood of ruining a car... if not, your bloody estima is done for...

really, next time i saw stuff like this, I would consider to scratch right from the front straight to the back, with my key... I wouldn't mind if it's just for a while like half an hour, but if from 9pm up untill 12am... you'll get what you deserve.... you got to get got...

Boycott memvavi buta???

2009-05-16T01:21:00.002+08:00

People keep saying boycott coke, boycott coca cola... what so ever, you totally shouldn't boycott coke just because of this poster... yeah, i'm spreading to entire Muslims out there... I URGE YOU, dont boycott because of this poster... but boycott coke for what they do, their cooperation with zionist... not because of this poster... stop making yourself become a joke...

lemme give you a little arabic lesson. As far as I know, the arabic writing in the poster isn't La Mohammad, La Mekah... "La" or in english, "No" is spelled with "lam" "alif"... as for the word spelled with "lam" is pronounced "Li" means "For" in english... which means, the reversed coke means "For Mohammad, For Makah" and for that matters, we should've support Coke!!! (please dont...)

and i'm here not to say support coke... just, please do things with good reason... not because you have been scammed somehow... there are plenty of reasons to boycott Coke, but please... not this one...

p to the s: if you read this and found what i explained is wrong, leave me a comment (especially you rdhanz...)

CollegeHumor - In an Apatow World...

2009-05-14T09:38:00.004+08:00

Who doesn't know Judd Apatow? (yeah, i bet not many of you do.... i just know by myself too)

Well, these guys at CollegeHumor made an interesting original songs depicting how Apatow's world is... well, you won't catch the point if you dont know who is Judd Apatow... However, if i mentioned movies like Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Forgetting Sarah Marshall they might ring a bell... yeah, Judd Apatow is either their producers or directors where the stories usually being "a loser guy who smoked herbs, drink beer, and have 0% chance of hooking up with a girl suddenly got a chance (either badly or goodly) to hook up..."

Well, here's the info on Judd Apatow and you really have to actually watch those 3 example movies (Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin and Forgetting Sarah Marshall) to actually know what this song is about and only by that you'll find the lyrics amusing... Presenting... CollegeHumor with In an Apatow World

Take a look over here, won't you take a look at me
I'm nothing special, nothing much to see
I got a weird scruffy beard and a big beer gut
I smoke herb all day, I'm a loser but

There's a place I know where I can land
Any woman with a sweep of my chubby hand
A magic place where girls aren't guarded
All you need to be is socially retarded

In an Apatow world
You could be my girl
I'll be Seth Rogen
you'll be Kate Heigel

You're not out of my league
Stoner is the new stud
Cuz a loser is a winner
In this world of Judd

Now my job's unique and it seems bizarre
Ugly guys aren't anchors or rock stars
My friends are lame but important to me
In fact the same guys are in all of these movies

But despite all that I catch your eyes
and you're charmed by my wit to my surprise
Somehow you love it when I talk to you shyly
Even though I look like John C Reilly

In an Apatow world
You would be my girl
You'll be Mila Kunis
I'm Jay Siegel

We will have a big fight
But no bad blood
Cuz it all ends happily
In this world of Judd

I think you got it twisted dude, I'm kind of mystified
That these unrealistic movies have blinded both your eyes
To the cold reality of basic sexual attraction
Jonah Hill only lands Emma Stone after 'action'

At the end of the day you're a gross man-boy slob
And you've played your PS3 longer than you've held a job
So I won't be your Applegate, your Fischer nor your Keener
You should take that hairy Ferrell *** to the cleaners

But in an Apatow world
Yeah, I'd be your girl
I'd run my perfect fingers
Through that Jew-fro curl

And the losers in the crowd
Now know they have a chance
Nevermind being awkward
All you need is romance

But before we conclude
Lemme have the last word
You would never touch this
In the actual world

All software capable of running on Windows XP SP2 should be able to run on Windows Vista SP1

2009-05-12T09:18:00.007+08:00

Some people have been saying, "I dont wanna use Vista, this software can't be ran on Vista..." "oh no, Vista got compatibility problem..."

and this means that obviously you dont even use the full potential of Windows XP... Here goes the tips... This will make every software capable of running on WinXP run on WinVista...

Compatibility Mode

The features have been in Windows since Windows XP and still remain in Windows Vista. Simply right click on the icon of the program/software/games that you want to run, and click properties. Up there, click at the Compatibility tab and select Windows XP SP2 in the field of "Run This Software in Compatibility Mode For:"

While you're at it, you might want to disable the visual themes and desktop composition (as in the figure above). These two also are the caused of software incompatibility... by ticking these two options, your Windows Aero interface will be disabled and your software/games will have better compatibility...

User Account Control (UAC)

UAC is the most annoying feature of Vista, but they provide you with the best of security that isn't found in Windows XP. It prevents a suspicious applications from executing by themselves and you are needed to verify it. Unfortunately, old software while being a valid software doesn't have the identification tag needed by the UAC to auto approve thus requiring you to provide approval each time you want to run the software.

While it seems to be harmless as it ask the user before the execution of the application, the truth is UAC did mess up the initiation of the application execution thus causing the software either failed to run or running abnormally, or even to the extend like the software being run with 2 different profiles...

So, what you should do here is to disable the UAC... first, go to control panel and type in the search box, UAC... link to "Turn User Account Control on and off" will appear and click the link. BE WARNED THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO A LESS SECURE SYSTEM.

next, untick the option "Use UAC to help protect my computer".

By now, every software that is capable of running on WinXP should be able to run on your Vista system by now...

Conclusion

This method have been tested... It works great.... I have tested with Simcity 3000 Unlimited (a game by Maxis released on year 2000 with compatibility issue at first) and TOCA Race Driver 3 (2006 game which initially developed compatibility issue with Vista but fixed with this method) for games... and for application, Adobe Photoshop CS run with no problem, I even heard my friends said even Adobe Photoshop 7 have no problem with this method.

Datuk Seri Muhamad Nizar is the legal MB in Perak.... FINALLY!!!!!

2009-05-12T00:10:00.003+08:00

Yaaaaa... what I would like to say is, SUCK IT!!! you guys have make Malaysia very unstable politically... you guys have lost people's trust... you dont have to say "rakyat perak perlu bertenang" coz they've get what they want and yes, now they are very calm...

Here's the fact, you guys have never won any small elections except the one in Sarawak, clearly people has lost the trust... you guys dont even win the court ruling, means you are obviously, clearly without any doubt going against the rules. haiyaaaa... even the court can't help you find a loophole... stop appeal la... waste your time only... even though you win this appeal, it's already known that you guys went against the rules... just let it go already la... Zambry is not an ideal leader... plus, yout verbal appeal has been rejected... haiyaaaaa... i'm afraid you'll embarassed yourself some more... enough with the lost in elections already maaaa....

if you dare to challenge the people of Perak, try to dismiss the DUN la... then we'll see which one is the people's choice...

again, SUCK IT!!!!

2009-05-04T22:37:00.003+08:00

i was on my journey back to Penang after my vacation at my hometown...

after just overtaking a vehicle, return to my lane...

here they are, in the middle of the road, stopping my car...

demmit

When a stupid guy, making a story of a computer...

2009-04-24T10:36:00.003+08:00

okay... i'm not sure if they meant sumthing else... but when somebody is tracing where a download source came from, they'll either look for the domain or the IP... and in this case, it is IP since everything is number... but look at those number...

456.262.736.462.... what does that mean??? even if you're calling some random numbers on IP please make one that won't make you look stupid enough... IPv4 will have 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 and IPv6 will have 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 up to FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF

what the heck is 456:262:736:462?????

p to the s: correct me if i'm wrong in IPv6...

"Pernahkah kau ada
Bila ku perlu tuk meluahkan rasa hati
Dan bila kau bersuara
Setia ku mendengar
Agar tenang kau rasa

Siapa sebenarnya aku padamu
Mungkin sama dengan teman lain
Yang bisa kau buat begitu
Dan bila
Tiada lagi teman bermain
Kau pulang mendapatkan aku
Itulah aku... Padamu..."

BBQ in the dark, the middle of the nite... huahuahauhau...

2009-04-08T10:50:00.006+08:00

Okeyh... A BBQ is planned... Things have been bought... Chicken to grill (or actually burn)... Grill, drinks, everything has been setup... Yet, the only thing that left is... THE VENUE... I guess this is the first things ever thought when some event is planned... Where should we held it??? But, due to the two geniuses this important thing is not decided early on... wahahahahaha... however, that is the fun... haha...

We set out of home and move to the undecided location which is decided to be somewhere after the Batu Feringgi (i forgot the actual name... somebody, remind me please...) at like 10pm... haha... who held a BBQ session at 10pm???? ROFLOL!!!! then, we arrived there like 11.30pm and start to look for a suitable place.... unlucky us, those place suggested at first were too dark and not really suitable for such things. so, we're back to square one... no venue... however, as we stroll back, they decide to held it at one of the beaches...

Taking out the equipments, and they just realize that they lack of few things. Well, it doesn't even bother... haha... so, the event went well with few burnt chicken... these people are so racist that they dont want to eat that black chicken... LOL... told ya to control fire... you guys dont listen... hahahahahahahahaha....

anyway, enjoy the photo... even though everything's end at 2am, but still it's fun... should do it again some other time...

Items Acquired by the Two Evil Geniuses at Giant

My Own Cloud Computing is Up...

2009-04-04T20:04:00.007+08:00

before I start anything... u guys might wondering around what is actually cloud computing... cloud computing is just like any other computing... where u got OS, application... do your own documents, do your own things... except, the computer is not actually your computer... you dont actually access your own harddrive... and the OS is not actually on your own hadrdrive... it's all in a server!!! which, will give you the advantage of accessing your computer everywhere, anywhere, anytime (except when the server is down... XD)

yup... i setup mine... and you can experience what is cloud computing actually is all about at MRL's System and below are some pictures of them... This system is powered by eyeOS

Right now, if you wanna have an access to my system you can have one account for your own... But, since the hosting is only have 1.5GB limited space only six lucky users will have their own account... and one person is limited to one account with 250MB storage (with only documents in your repositories, imagine how big 250MB is...) For those who are interested, please contact me at my Gmail.

For now, only basic functions is available like word processor, spreadsheet and some games... more features will be added after this.

This is it... Desktop in a browser... previewed in Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex with Mozilla Firefox 3

Application Windows... You can install applications too...

Got browsers too.... Irrelevant features as you need a browser with PHP support for this... and yet, you get another browser in another browser...

Fast and Furious 4 (Spoiler Alert)

2009-04-03T09:58:00.003+08:00

After a long wait for the return of good street race movie after exotic RedLine and quite crappy Tokyo Drift, the Fast and Furious 4 is released in Malaysia on 2nd April... Quick response have allow us to get to watch the movie on the first day it is released which is yesterday... YAYYY!!!

After you read this line, there might be a hell lot of spoiler alert... I dont care to filter them out nor make a new synopsis without spoiler for you to read. If you don't like to know the story before watching it, back off now... stop reading and go watch the movie...

The story goes back before the even of Tokyo Drift where Han is still working with Dom after Dom run away from LA which Brian let him go in the 10sec car (remember??? it's FF1). Dom leave his team because he wants to retire from what he is doing, stealing... the job is getting dangerous for him...

After he leaves the team, his love Letty has been murdered... Dom is mad and start searching for the murderer... Then, it happen to be that Brian who is now in FBI is looking for the exact same person David Park and stumbled upon each other... Now, with Park's help, both Dom and Brian are in a race for a pos of Braga's driver. Their objective is same, to wipe out Braga's team... Brian got Braga, Dom will get Fenix, Letty's murderer.

Brian, as usual choose his favourite from the impound... he choose 3 cars exactly... 1 modded Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R and 1 stock Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R, and another red Nissan GT-R... as for Dom, his fav is muscle... But, suprisingly despite the fact that Nissan GT-R he got from police impound lot is far more superior than both 2 other cars he choose, he opt to mod the Skyline R34 (probably there'll be too much destruction scene and so the producer think whacking a Nissan GT-R is not a good idea).

Both of them got into the job as the driver. And as soon as the job is finished, what Braga wants them to be dead... after few scene, now they managed to bring Braga's out of his nest...

However, as usual... the greedy fed will never do their job right, messing up the operation badly and Braga managed to escape. They went over the border, get Braga and after few exciting scene, they get what they want and Dom surrendered to the fed... Dom is sentenced to do 25years imprisonment however, the story ended with Brian along with Mia hijacking the bus to release Dom...

What's good about this movie??? Even though the CGI is quite obvious, but the CGI looks good... the story is full with adrenaline rush... the scenes where they are driving in a tunnel, damn good... I'll never get the skill to do that... old main characters are back which is nice because it feels the originality of the Fast and Furious...

What's bad??? there's not enough street race scene as much as 2Fast and 2Furious, but I think it's equal to The Fast and The Furious. The other bad thing is, the use of Skyline R34 for Brian's car... Coz, one of the tag line in the poster is "New Model, Original Parts"... I was thinking new car models, and original characters... but, the thing is... new storyline model, original car... huhu...

My rating??? 4 stars out of 5... if there's more street race scene and new cars, i would not hesitate to give 5... Now, enjoy the pics below...

Paul Walker is the only actor who can bring up Brian O'Connor to life. Sexy, macho, good... I really love his character.

Mia Toretto... she really did get her boob job done... I remember how she looks like in FF1... Dont bluff me... XD

This is some badass chick... I actually stunned when she is with Dom in the garage (you know what I mean) and I actually surprised instead of nailing her, Dom choose to talk about Letty... XD

Dominic Toretto... Cold character he got in this movie... Just like in FF1... His raging anger once he knew Brian is the one who send Letty in for undercover job is marvelous...
