my stuff

I needed another credit card to be used with my personal Paypal account. All my credit cads are linked to my business account. I searched the web to look for easy to application and near to my bank. Since I maintain an account with HLB
and just a few steps away from my office (easy to settle outstanding bills) I picked HLB MTV. I applied online and they called me the next afternoon. See how it goes.

Not Fellujah, Baghdad or Afghanistan. Not air strike but CNY fireworks

I could not believe that i spent one whole day at Immigration department in order to renew my passport. It was taxing and time consuming. My advise is to renew during working days and not during school holidays. I have to go again in order to collect my passport. Normally this process would take half a day. Plan your trip carefully to avoid frustrations due to long hours of waiting.

Integrated solar cell with charge indicator (See back of phone)TFT Screen, wide viewing angle, Motion sensor with auto display rotation. WOW!

I had ostrich meat for Chinese new year.  I was quite sceptical about the taste, after I had it all Icould say was Yummmm.

Tomorrow is wednesday and it will be a full working day. I am glad cause i do not like holidays. As a business owner holiday means no sale and that is no fun – $$$. I am planning to go to immigration dept to renew my travelling papers. Happy chinese new year to all who are still celebrating!

Thanks Maxis, I got Iphone 3Gs for only RM 990 – Loyalty promo, no other upfront payment whatsoever.

So HTC, you’ll be my secondary phone
Iphone apps are amazing – for fun and work. It really helps me a lot.

Righteousness – Purity of Heart and Purpose – Selflessness

What is sacrifice? Sacrifice involves examining your conscience and doing your duties without hesitation, without waiting for others to perform your deeds for you, without expectation of rewards, and without consideration of hardship and effort. When you work selflessly for your country, help to relieve suffering in the world, give your share of family resources to help your siblings and relatives, this is sacrifice. When you uphold your virtues, help orphans and widows, give to the poor, this is also sacrifice. However, if you steal, rob, gamble, engage in unscrupulous actions, lead young people into bad habits, cheat in your business dealings, and do things only for money or other personal gains, you have abandoned the virtue of sacrifice. The practice of sacrifice also involves giving up personal gains to uphold the virtues of dedication, trustworthiness, and honour. We need to sacrifice self-interest, and even our lives, to fulfill promises we have made to others and to ensure that our actions are honourable and honest. Sacrifice also means helping others regardless of what they have done for you. This means that you must first show appreciation of good deeds rendered to you by others. If you do not appreciate help given to you and return a good deed with an evil one, you have forgotten what it means to return good for good. If you cannot even return a good deed with a good one, then how can you perform actions selflessly without any expectation of rewards? If you are unwilling to sacrifice you will not come to a good end.

Dell Volstro price 1.9 K, parts malfunction after warranty – required to purchase extended warraty RM 1.2 K
How sweet!
Last time Acer charged me RM 600 for the motherboard. It was reasonable. This one is really milking it to the maximum.

My fav, I have Lady Gaga playing repeatedly on my Ipod. Happy holidays. Enjoy your long weekends. Don’t worry bout me I will be fine. hehehe.

Got myself a Lenovo. Now I got an empty pocket and a shiny lappy. Bloody hell, it is the end of the year and I need money for many things.

I am quite happy with my new purhase though, with windows 7 and nvdia graphic card, watching Lady Gaga on youtube seems to reveal more details

I could not extract my old data. I called Dell to extend my warranty, I hope they can replace the motherboard for that tiny Volstro, I gigabytes of pictures and videos that I need to keep permanently.

11 months after my warranty my dell Volstro 1200 gone kaput,
This is my working notebook! God sake. No more dell – no more no more no more.
Not me only but many more. I got a thread to prove it. Gosh, data extraction. Shit and setting up a new notebook will be very painful

Christmas Holiday wish list

Buy Me Yeah right.

A bit emo after watching APOCALYPSE: THE SECOND WORLD WAR on NatGeo. I love good war documentaries.

Heading to torrent web sites to download the digital version

1) I love tech and gadgets
2) I spend most of my time in front of my computer.
3) I don’t have any close friends (maybe 1)
4) I could not ‘afford’ to keep friends.
5) I don’t have time for my friends.
6) I am anti social. I jumped on facebook bandwagon just to show people that I am still alive.
7) Due to work load and responsibilities, I am not always happy or in a good mood.

Sigh*

Streamyx was down today. Half a day. My colleagues had to tap on unsecured Wifi (scarry – insecure) . I called the helpline and had to go through process. I was very professional so they escalated my problem to Level 2 Tech. That is the trick. Convince them, and go through the ping and gateway ping processes in order to identify the problem (DSLAM or My connection), I also informed them that other people in the area could not connect and Cyber Cafe around the corner had to put up a sign * No Internet – LOL.

The connection recovered at 2.45pm. I suddenly realized that we need a secondary connection. P1 / Or Amax. I picked Amax. Fiz my colleague and best friend called their agent and she returned the call 10 minutes later (she was driving ). Amax sent two techs in orange car, me and another colleague saw the car on the way to the parking lot. I said to my friend, look at that amax car, they probably looking for our office.

Amax WIMAX

When I was at the Datacentre installing and troubleshooting servers, Fiz called me up to inform Amax already done testing and deploying our backup internet connection. Yay!. According to him installation was a breze and yes the guys in amax car were the assigned installer techies. I took the modem home and use it to surf and blog today.

Here is the continuous ping result. We subscribe for 1Mbps package only

My SSH connection is also stable compared to 3G. Please take note this is Wireless so you could not compare with Streamyx (my office) or Time Netlynx (my home)

One thing I noticed about AMAX, they tend too keep changing ips, upstream and downstream not too sure. I had problem with my company billing system. Thank god I tweaked “Disable Session IP Check” and I managed to log in to the billing system. I had trouble logging to other pages that require session IP check though.

What is the point of all that? Load balancing? Keeping Bittorrent tracking confused? As for normal surfing I think it is sufficient, Winamp and Youtube, stutters though. To sum it up. Good job lah for Wireless. Definitely better than 3G.

My house smells like *hit. It is not from inside the house. There is a stench coming from our pantry. The smell is unbearable. I think somebody on the 19th or 17th floor passed away and the body is now decomposing. Yuck. I think we need to inform the management. It could be a carcass like a bird or cat got stuck in between the air conditioner outdoor unit.. Initially, i thought the stench originated from leaked sewerage pipe ( i already put my nose near the inlet and pour tonnes of bleach and antiseptic liquid -nada, not there!).

In Taman Desa there is a huge septic pond that produce sewerage smell when it rains. I think i am old enough to differentiate the smell of shit and smell of something rotting. It is not coming from the septic pond! my dear housemate!

I bought a few cans of air freshener, it has auto spray thingy. It would not work, the smell keep on coming. I closed the bathroom window to prevent the smell from coming in, but the smell keep coming from the pantry then to the kitchen.

Should I go upstairs/downstairs to check if the smell originates from there?

Malaysia Air-lines (MAS) was ranked eighth best in the world by the dedicated travel magazine for Asia, Smart Travel Asia.

This sees the national carrier in a tie with Lufthansa and moving up one rank from last year.

I am thinking of canceling my Facebook account soon. I don’t think it is a great way to connect with new people. Why I don’t get it.

1. I joined because i wanted to meet new people. Some people added me and refuse to say a word.

2. Pointless postings- I’d rather join discussion forum.

3. I also i think is a mini self portal to show yourself – I’d rather join Online personal ads.

I could go on and on.

1. What I like about FB is i can monitor my siblings’ activity LOL. They even posted pics of them going out, having dinners, new haircuts and even their dates LOL.

2. I guess I am too ancient for all the stuff.

3. Productivity is wasted when you spend to much indulging in FB, I I’d rather read Wikis
