Hm... I am the real risk-taker. Seriously! I am!

Two days ago, I saw MSN messenger chat window(bottom part) display a link to try Live Messenger 8.1 BETA. Without a second thought, I downloaded and installed it... and uninstall it 10 minutes later... haha

First of all. It is a BETA version... means it is not a stable release. You must use at your own risk... Obviously, I can't take that "risk"...

This version caused constant freezes... like every 2-3 minutes, my system will be not responsive for 5 seconds and then back to normal... It is not a big deal but definitely annoying...

It has nothing notable in this BETA version too... except they change the layout for some features only... make it more user friendly... Anyway, it is not worth the effort to test it unless you are the real risk-taker as I am!

I am  boring now... perhaps I will start compiling something related to the christmas! oppss... I still owe you the trip to Hong Kong day 2 and day 3... ...

Keep watching here!

Hm.. Hm... I don't know whether or not to be happy... There are some internet searches to my blog each day. Yes! It means I got other "strange" readers which are not like you... :-P ahaha

Something funny to share with you... I treat it funny rather than sad, ok? Some funny search keywords...

Search Keyword No. 1

BIG KOK IN SMALL ASS (search.arabia.msn.com)

Oh my GOD! How this people know my KOK is big ? but a bad things is... he want it into a small ass.... *^^%$^%$%#$##@ I told you in my profile... I am very straight! No gay... I burned BrokeBack Mountain last summer! That's why you see a lot of haze covering your country for months!

Search Keyword No. 2

cicakman bt file (www.google.com.my)

Aiyeh… Although I recommend this movie to you, Malaysian, but it does not mean that I will provide free movie to you. Furthermore, I do not know where to buy that VCD while the cinema is still showing now? haha. Stop searching for CICAKMAN BT FILE! Go support your own country-made film!!

Search Keyword No. 3

Pin Hole Camera (search.msn.com.my)

Ok… I know you need a Pin Hole Camera very much… I know you need it for very HOLY purpose… I know you won’t abuse it! But I am sad to inform you… I still  sourcing for a supplier to supply me with this kind of product and you gotta know that in Malaysia, only “certain” type of Pin Hole Camera are allowed to be sold to public… If you are keen to have one. Ebay is a faster and better way, you fool!

Still a lot of search keywords but they are not funny enough to be listed here... :) I will keep you laughing. Check here constantly!

If you dont know either One Piece or Dragon Ball then you better go google or local comic bookstore to have a look! The Top of the Best sellers. Got 3 in the list as I know. One Piece, Dragon Ball and Slam Dunk. Each of them sold 100 millions or 1 billion copies world wide... I am not sure on the figures but they are good!

http://bbs.fxdm.net/showthread.php?t=131655

Check the link above. Recently the author of One Piece and Dragon Ball has cooperated together for a short comic :D

Have a look! It worth your time if you wanted to see Gouko (悟空） from Dragon Ball again!

3 days ago, I was assigned to assist David in a trip to Sungai Besar... Don't ask me where is Sungai Besar, all I can tell you is nearby Kuala Selangor...

I don't think I can tell you what is the purpose of the trip... or IF I tell you... You also don't know what is it all about too ahaha.

We depart 9:30AM @ Office. Reach the destination @ 11:30AM... Long journey uh?

Then we walk around to do a environment survery first haha. To check around only... It was a fine day without hot sun and cloudly as well :D  I manage to get a DSLR camera ahah :P So I taken some photos for ya to see :D

  A wooden bridge to shore...

  Some kids "ski-ing" ?? haha.

 Mangrove forest... Must take the photo... for office use ...

  BIRDS! Damn! I wish I have better camera lens to zoom it closer for you!

 Wild life No 1. Crabs crabs crabs!

 Wild life No 2. Fish!

 SEAFOOD Restaurant!!! SEAFOOD LUNCH!!! And YES, A FREE SEAFOOD LUNCH, LoL! I can't take any food photo this time because I feel too shy to take it in front of other hungry colleagues... ahah. Can you imagine feeling that everyone is eyeing on the plate of food while you taking its photo? I simply too shy to do it this time. Perhaps next time! I will eat that again! Because this time did not manage to order the CRAB... :( Next time must order it hehe :)

 The only female in this trip... and she is not my colleague... opps :P You can guess who she is...

That's all... and remember I am an I.T. One-Leg-Kick and my new extra role is camera-man. Yay! hahaha :P

上个星期， Andy给我听了他的新歌。 还真不错的创作。 可是我觉得不够完美。。。

有一句歌词是 “停车的位置  只留给你”
我就是觉得这句歌词将歌曲的画面都破坏了。。。
所以我建议Andy将她改成 “床边的位置  只留给你”
那里知道Andy说怕太过敏感而卖不出去。。。

唉， 我在想。。。 如果创作被商业化了。 你是音乐人还是商人？ 我不知道答案，也不想问。 因为我知道每个人都会有自己的观念的。 我觉得可惜也只是我的观点而已。 可能在音乐界的角度来看， 一定程度的商业化是必须的吧！ 音乐人也要吃饭的啊！

我肯定是不会怕太过敏感的歌词， 我只怕没有人会欣赏而已。。。 试问自己， 有什么伟大的创作在开始时不是被当作笑话的？ 贝多芬也不是一出生就会作曲的。。。 

因为害怕而失去了胜利的机会是真的不值得。。。成功的果实永远只有勇于尝试的人才可以吃到。 走在成功的例子后面的是不会成功的， 因为这世界不需要两个相同的成功个案。。。 对不对？

Two weeks ago, I saw an T.V. advertisement about a new film... CICAKMAN.

First in my mind... "WTF???!!!" is that SPIDERMAN 3 has rename to CICAKMAN? The CICAKMAN is quite similar to SPIDERMAN. Both also red color costumes. haha and they can climb wall with bare-hand too.

CICAKMAN is a Marvel Malay Super Hero.  Anyway, I am having fun to keep saying CICAKMAN. I dont know the quality of the movie but it is definitely worth a try for Malaysian. Simply because with your support, it may be a Malay Super Hero Legend!

But... don't count on me to go into cinema for it because I have not enough money to support myself too! :P

Many peoples expecting me to write a LONG blog about the recent toll fees adjustment.

I am sorry to tell you that I am not going to write it and why should I?

It is very unlikely that Samivellu will read my blog and start to feel guilty for everything he did ... if you really want to know my thought on this...

I can tell you. Malaysia is getting better and better. Previously, they still gather citizen-voices before they implement or decide on something. Now, they are totally independant. They can make decision without the help of citizen-voices anymore, please do not misunderstood that I am not trying to say that are "conducting business within the blackbox" (黑箱作业）. They are mature enough to INFORM you about their decisions and DO NOT NEED your approval or critism anymore. This is the government that you have give birth to. This is the generation that will rules you for the rest of their lifes. This is the cause and effect. If you ignore this and keep casting votes to them. You gotta pay your own price for casting your blind votes :)

That's all I want to say... They just inform me what I have to do in order to continue to use the TOLL. Nothing much. That's it! Case close and we wait for the Petrol to raise price :)

I noticed this like 2 months ago... before my connection went down for 11 days.

It was an upgrade from 1mbps/384kbps (download/upload) to 2mbps/512kbps (download/upload)

A week ago, before I receive the trusted source of  news on TM Net implemented traffic shaping on BitTorrent. I noticed another upgrade which make my connection speed has greater upload. That is 2mbps/896kbps (download/upload) . It is really able to get at least 70% connection speed of that but... without the ability to BT... it is just too much because all my download sources are using BT to share the files   

Anyway, do not really want to praise TM Net or Streamyx but they did give me something better or show some improvement on this. Let's give them a credit or two for this time... Let's hope another upgrade soon or no more traffic shaping.

hehe. This is the screen capture!!

Yo! Yo! Yo! I recreated my Paypal account. It was inactive for 1.5 years haha. The account went inactive and cannot be re-activated too : (  *sniff*

Anyway, I got it setup again for some online payments and such. After 1.5 years, finally we, Malaysian, get the Donate button wuahahahah. At very beginning, Malaysian allowed to SEND money and REQUEST money only... never able to withdraw... I don't know how it works and it seems nothing profitable at >that< moment so I left my account for 1.5 year heh heh.

hm... This post is to notify you that I have added that ultimate DONATE button somewhere @ my site haha.

Now you know, I am such a money-horny or money-minded people!! It is never be too late to know it. ok?

So start donate to me if your pocket has no more space for your money! I will be very glad to keep it for you until I spend it away!!! har har har.

话说上个星期六， 我们到RedDoor吃午饭。。。 吃饱了才发现， Johnny's Restaurant 也有套餐吃。 算了， 虽然RedDoor的咖哩饭吃不饱但是也算吃了午餐。。。 所以决定了星期六就到Johnny's Restaurant吃！

Johnny's Restaurant是提供泰式食物的。 以前都没有发觉。。。 一直都以为她是一家火锅店， 正不好意思 哈哈！不多说了。

点了两分套餐. 凤梨炒饭（Pineapple Fried Rice) 和泰式烧鸡面 (Thai BBQ Chicken Mee)。每份套餐都有附送茶水，TomYam汤和爱死吉林（ice cream 啦）。 TomYam汤不是冬蔭公（因为TOMYAM。。。 没有 “GONG / KUNG / 功” 的） ， 红红的很好喝哦，  喝了绝对不陰公。。。不喝才陰公因为你在浪费食物啊！！！

泰式烧鸡面 (Thai BBQ Chicken Mee) 。嘻嘻，面条是绿色的。  续蓝饭后就是绿面！！ 呵呵， 多么的多姿多彩！ 这碟绿面只有烧鸡好吃。。。 绿面本身没有味道， 就连调味料也没有哦。 吃的时候要将他们提供的泰式辣椒酱加进去才有泰国的味道！！ 哈哈！！！ 烧鸡的味道比起她隔壁的Chicken Rice Shop更好味。。。（oppss... 我没有吃过Chicken Rice Shop 的鸡饭。。。） 反正泰式烧鸡就是比普通的烧鸡好吃！ 明白了吗？ 看看照片吧！

凤梨炒饭（Pineapple Fried Rice)味道还不错， 有炒饭的火候和味道！！ 有很多店都是随便把饭炒热就给你吃的。。。 起码这家店不是为把饭炒热而炒饭的。 哈哈！！ 很深奥的看法吧？ 难怪我啦。。。 我吃炒饭多过你吃盐。

呵呵吃饱了就随便走走， 因为我要买小雨伞（缩骨伞）。 世事往往就是这样的， 到你要用的时候就是没有减价或Promotion的。。。 算了， 下雨就淋雨吧！ 天生天养的我是不会买贵伞的！！ 哈哈哈 说穿了。。。我就是孤寒  哇哈哈哈。。。 这次又给我发现了多拉A梦！！！ 哈哈。想把它带回家。。。 但是还是那句。。。 还是钱不够用的。 多拉A梦你等我啊！！

I got a copy of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate and Microsoft Office System 2007 from the MSDN Subscriber download...

I downloaded it some times ago but I have not enough time to setup for a look and feel.

Last week, I am quite busy but still manage to fire up my virtual pc and run the Windows Vista Installation. Previously, I tried to installed those beta releases or debug builds... never success. But amazingly, this time I got it installed! The installation is smooth. As easy as other Microsoft Operating System. All you need to do it to click "Next", "Yes", "Accept", "OK" and "FINISH". hahaha  

Many people say we need high-end hardware to run Windows Vista and Office System 2007 because of their extra-ordinary GUI. I admit that this time... I am truly impressed by Microsoft. This Windows Vista really comes with GREAT interface. The design is so futuristic. Anyway, I run this copy of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate under Microsoft Virtual PC environment. It is still having quite ok performance after I install the VM Additions for the O.S. itself. I do not really know if can be run on any non-HT or non-DualCore processor or not... I doubt it very much... perhaps I will try to get it install into my home computer soon. Provided all my games will be supported and playable under Windows Vista environment :D

I capture some screen shots for ya!

These are some new wall papers.

Interesting? Attractive? haha. I really liked this... but I won't upgrade my Windows just because of this reason...

I captured the Office System 2007 interface for you to have a look too!

Nice interface, isn't it? But please... I really find myself outdated... because I am having a hard time to use the new windows and office. I can't locate most of the functions... but it is somewhere within the software! Just gotta spend more time to familiarize with it!

Please don't ask me to send you a CD copy of Windows Vista or Office System 2007... I will not give you, you gotta buy it yourself!! haha I am a bad ass, as usual.... :P Don't curse me!

All the screen captures or wall papers are not display in actual size. You may right click and "save as" then open it from your computer again. It will display with its actual size! :D

That's all for now. Tons of works waiting for me... and today is Saturday...

I love my country but I am not a patriotic people. I will run-away if any shit happens. I am very neutral yet typical type of Malaysian. I do not like those politicians but I do agree that they are needed for "balancing" the country. I do not feel proud to be a Malaysian simply because I have nothing to be proud...  You want me to feel proud that the Government spending millions of dollars just for the astroNUTS to eat ROTI CANAI and TEH TARIK on the spaceship? They can hang the Malaysia Flag behind their back and wear RED underwear outside will give better effect to ADVERTISE Malaysia to the world… Both TEH TARIK and my idea are stupid enough to let people keep laughing at you during their lunch hour talks. I feel pain to pay tax because you spend my tax money for 2 pieces of ROTI and 2 glasses of TEH TARIK!

Malaysia Management Style is very funny in the way that they never try to correct their mistake but keep repeating it + invents new mistakes during the repetitive process. Wow! I must say this is continuous “improvement”.

Some months ago, Government announced that this year, 2006, will not increase any TOLL fees. Yeah! A good news, but I am such a smart-ass. I can foresee that at 01-01-2007, they will increase the TOLL rate! Haha. Remember that you read it here first if you see any rate adjustment later …

Malaysia is one of the big exporters for Petroleum. Yeah! Petroleum!! Fuck it because they increase the petrol price for 3 times a year. When the world market increases the price, then they put the burden to the citizen! But when the price drops, they do not lower the local petrol price but keep that EXTRA profit into THEIR pocket for FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. I love it! I love you, Malaysia! You just need a reason to take my money of from my pocket only!! You are the licensed robber!!! Why those petrol-station owners cannot suffer lost?? They give you coffee money monthly????  Why must we suffer lost??? If you really care about the citizen, please do some damn things or at least to impose new Labor Law that each and every employer must increase employees’ salary when such situation happens!

Let’s talk about Internet. Traffic SHAPING!!!

Quote 1. from Newpapers

… Malaysian Cyber Security Centre (MCSC) and local telcos have been directed to crack down on online pornography….

Quoted 2. from my memory (I read it somewhere … it is official from TMNET spokeperson)

… it was 20% of our users use 90% of our bandwidth for P2P downloads. Next up, 90% of P2P downloads are found to be pornography, so we have to filter and block all P2P traffic to curb online porn…

I have nothing to reply for Quote 1, Government or Local Authority does not need my approval to impose any new laws. Likewise, I don’t give a damn to their bullshit too. As long as, they never accuse me with that!

Quote 2 is ridiculous. If your TOTAL bandwidth can be 90% utilized by 20% of the users that mean you are not providing the service as advertised!! See… You offer 1mpbs unlimited online time package. So you have to be prepared that we will utilize the connection as much as we can! You, TM Net still dare to say 90% of bandwidth is utilized by 20% of users. On the other hand, another 80% of users are “sharing” the left-over 10% of bandwidth!!! Now, you know why you get slow connection!!! It is because you are one of the 80%, I am SOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOoooooo sure of it! I must stress that, TM Net or the ISP should not blame the users because they are using what they are paying for! The ISP should be responsible on bandwidth issue instead of throttling the speed! When they limit the speed, they should rebate to us because it really affect our Internet experiences. Simple calculation, I can download 50GB/Month before the traffic shaping. Now I can only download 1GB/Month, 1/50 * 100% = 2%. Then my package worth RM77. I should pay Rm77 *2% = RM1.54 because I really enjoy the 2% only… Anyway. If you support my calculation or my ideas above. Please give a call to 1300889515, for lodging a slow connection report. I did it but only I cannot do anything on this.

Come on! If the Internet is being used in such way, you have to educate the users! Tell them what porn is and what sex is! Cover up and restricted everything will increase their curiosity to explore further!!! You fools never learn!!!

We have many many more issues like the police-women ask a China tourist to strip off their clothes and someone recorded it for the sake of sharing….

Some Malaysians kill some foreigner but still living happily…

Policemen accuse news reporters being too sexy so people are allow to put a pin-hole camera to capture those sexy screens…

Government wants to filter bloggers’ websites…

Ok… I am not really against the M.M.S. but I wanted to share my thought with you.

If petrol price raise up, I will stop driving as much as I can…

If Tolls increase the rate, I will use the alternative routes…

If the Internet Traffic Shaping still going on, I will not use P2P but setup FTP server for traditional “file-sharing”

If I cannot download any porn… I still can buy VCD … so what? Nothing can stop these cycles… It is the matter you gotta live with it or leave.

Again, if you are going to leave a comment to tell me to fuck off because I whine for nothing… You are not welcome to leave a comment without supportive ideas towards this post. Simply because “Life may be a bitch but that’s my bitch! Only I can fuck her!!” ok?

Ok folks.

Time to blog about my new phone, the Dopod 577w. It is a SmartPhone with Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0. Remember... This is a SmartPhone, not a PDA phone. It is just like any other mobile phone in the market... but smarter! That's it!! haha... If Dopod ask me to write a review on their phones... I am sure they are going to be very mad :P waahahaaha

Technical Specs click here!

Of course I am not going to make you bored with this entry! Since you guys keep asking me how it works and how nice it is.

First, I really feel amazing with its size. It is a little bigger that Nokia 8250 but smaller than Nokia 3210 haha. So you go to figure it yourself. I have no camera to shot the photo now. Perhaps I will upload it here soon. Who says size does matter? It comes with this small size but included most of the hi-tech components namely WIFI, BlueTooth, Infrared, Extended Mini SD memory slot (Max 1GB support). Keep this in mind, this is a SMARTPHONE. It has no touch-screen or any other PDA looks like features. If you need a PDA phone. Go get something other than this.

Second, I must stress that the WIFI connectivity. Among all the HI-end phones, this is the one of the least that equipped with WIFI. It is IEEE 802.11b standard which means maximum 11 Mbit/s, signal range of 100 meter. WooHoo! Simply amazing right? hehe. Anyway, the WIFI is only for Internet or anything to do with the Browser. It does not support MS Networking... I means you cannot create any share files or folders to your network :P But with the 2 points above... It simply beat any walkman phones with technology.

Third, this phone installed with Microsoft Windows Mobile OS 5.0 and Windows Media Player 10.0 ... wow! sooooo you can watch your movie, listen to your favourite songs anytime @ anywhere! BUT please do not put high expectation on this... with a mobile phone size of screen display, even James Bond will looks like a monkey... ok? If you want me to rate the sound quality of it... I would rate it 5 out of 10. The sound is clear but not up to the good quality. It is just same range as most of the mp3 players within the market. If you are looking for a phone that can play mp3... do not buy this one. It will fail you miserably. :)

Fourth, the phone comes with a 1.3 mega pixel camera. Well... without good auto-focus (it can focus but still...) and with 64K colour only , I doubt you can shot any pretty photo or vidoe... if you think to shot your porn film with mobile phone (to share with me)... please DO NOT GET THIS ONE. Simply because the movie quality is not better than those we see on youtube.com or any other self-vidoe broadcast site. Anyway, I will upload some file for your reference. hehe At least, I  show you some realistic sample rather than nothing.

  this is the breakfast of mine for today. Haha...

For movie sample, download the file below

VIDEO_015.avi (303.94 KB)

Ok... let me tell you something not really nice with this phone...

First, the phone comes with too little memory or RAM. you need more memory to run program smoother. You need more storage to store your data like contacts, caller ID ringtones, caller ID photo and etc... most important, you need more storage to install more applications to fully utilize this phone :D. I can say with the original memory size, you are not going to have any fun with this phone. If you want to buy this phone, remember to allocated Rm90 extra for a 1gb Mini SD card (of course you buy it yourself somewhere near you...) :)

Second, the processor is too slow. Haha. It takes 1-2 minutes to start up or restart. Sometimes it will hang too ahahah HANG!!! That's the Microsoft Windows Trademark... so I think I will live with it... Likewise, I have no other alternative too :P OR I do not multi-task with this phone.

Third, the casing of this phone... looks very kiddo... Like a toy... very much. First day I hold this phone. I am thinking... "Oh man... I cannot afford to let this phone drop on the floor, because the casing will be broken!" haha. Seriously, every friend who hold my Dopod 577w has the same thought as mine...

Fourth, the "joy stick" and the keypad is not so easy to press unlike other mobile phones... Well, I do a research on internet. This is by design... many Dopod 577w users has the same comment on this... so... nothing to say as well.

Lastly, I am going to tell you the most interesting thing. I bought this Dopod 577W with RM650 only from the distributor!!! Hahaha Freaking cheap, right?! But to get this price, you gotta be a MSDN Connection Member with at least Silver level Membership... I am a Gold card member. First in the life time that I am feeling so good to be part of the Microsoft Program :D That's the GOOD deal which I mentioned earlier :D Nothing to complaint... seriously, with this price, I have nothing to complaint already :)

Additional note, distributor sold out all phones already... so you gotta wait for next promotion! I will keep you update with this blog!

YoooHoooooo!!!

Finally! I own this master piece of junk!

19 inch display with DVI on... simply fantastic! Plus 3 years product warranty... definitely beating up Dell 19" ultra-sharp LCD with this price... but only for PC fair promotion...

For RM 798, this product is definitely a worth shot for all lcd lovers. It comes with smooth white casing. Sleek and simple design. 5MS display... 

Actually I wanted to get 940BF as my targetted model but after I see this thing... this is toooooooooo seducing. Like a naked girl dancing in front of me and asking me to buy her home!!! haha. No lie and no joke:P

The design is like the Apple computer ... simple but beautiful.

I tried to watch my favourite anime, One Piece, with this LCD :D Woooohooooo! I feel soooooo great. It really worth the price for it... Anyway. This could be 2nd good deal I made for last week. The first one is my Dopod 577w :D

Spending money like water... aih... but its ok. I am looking forward to this year end bonus payout to "FLOOD" my bank account!

Anyway, I am not good to tell you how's the specification of this LCD. Samsung website has no information of it.

hehe I am sorry, dudes. I got my camera with me... but I am unable to shot any "booth girl" for you... I promise I will get you some nice chicks photo @ next PC fair (if any)...

My next blog entry should be something related my Dopod 577W :)

Stay tuned!
