Kuala Lumpur PC Fair(III) 2009

Kuala Lumpur PC Fair(III) was held from 4th December till 6th December 2009. Well I missed the KL PC Fair(II) 2009 as I was still in Miri. As this great event was going on each year, I started to feel that it is getting nothing, since last year. I started to go KL FC Fair when it was 1st launched carried on in KLCC (no longer at PWTC), year 2006. The worse that I meant were like, it started to get boring, unlike previously, year 2006 and 2007, where a lot of booths sell every single component of PC, hardware for sure, we can even customize our own Desktop.

And now, the PC Fair was going crazy, like, the war between Broadbands were worsen, Maxis Broadband in Green, Celcom Broadband in Blue, DiGi Broadband in Yellow, Streamyx in Black and P1 WiMax in Purple, like before except Streamyx(usually orange). How do they war? All booths were side by side and promoters scream and blocked the routes! Even worse, once you stop at their booth, all of the promoters will surround you, no way out, especially in the entrance of Hall 4! (Previously those Broadband booths were not side by side)

Each time PC Fair, I will at least go twice within 3 days, and each time will walk at least 3 rounds. Now, the heat to walk 3 rounds and to go for more than 1 day were no longer at there! Boring~ Prefer to go to Low Yat Plaza, uhm! Oh well, according to one of my friends, PC Fair will only held twice a year, begin next year, 

Here's a thing I wanna share. Once again, I present you 'The Gold Man', I think he was invited to Kuala Lumpur PC Fair(III) 2009! Say 'Hi' to him! 2nd time I met him, exactly after 1 year.

1 After Another

Is the mother Earth getting mad at us, recently? Is she taking revenge on us? Or justice?

Look around us, disasters are happening 1 after another, within 2 months. First the earthquake at Java and Sumatra, Indonesia, then, the tsunami that strucked Samoa, and now the super typhoons, Typhoon Ketsana to Philippines while Typhoon Melor to Japan.

Those disasters are natural disasters, not only destroying the properties, in fact, taking thousands of life. Are these the signs for us to wake up to take a good care of our mother Earth? That simple question is a common topic that has been reminded for years, centuries and decades, but yet, we human are still hurting our mother Earth. It is kinda silly for me to relate we human with such natural disasters, but I think we might be one of the sources which lead such disasters to take place.

Let's talk about the typhoons. After Ketsana and Melor, what will happen next? Based on the information that my cousin obtained, he said that there will be another 2 typhoons may occur around the Pacific Ocean, anytime. Philippines could be the victim, again. If I'm not wrong, he said that Typhoon Melor supposedly aiming Philippines, but then it turned its direction and aimed Japan instead.

On the other hand, my uncle is working on some platforms around Miri, Sarawak. He called home several times when those typhoons happened. Jobs are pending and everyone has to withdraw from platforms and remain at Miri Road for some time to stand by. According to my uncle, the waves that come from Pacific Ocean are big and strong, eventually, those waves are the tails of the typhoon. If the tails of the waves are strong, what do you think about the head of the waves?

So what's next?

Neighbours around Me

Here are some short stories based on my experiences with different kinds of neighbours, each point stands different neighbour. Spend some time and laugh if you can.

• What a neighbour, when his house being robed, we were the one who helped him the most and not his family member. When our house being robed, he closed both of his eyes.

• What a neighbour, everyday came back late night and slammed both grills and doors as loud as he could, without thinking the neighbours around. How could I "repay" that?

• What a neighbour, she is so beautiful and kind, yet she was belonged to someone. Hurt.

• What a neighbour, quarreling 24 hours per day and 7 days per week involving both mother and daughter, do they even think of their neighbour? Also, reputation? Gosh.

• What a neighbour, always looked all his doors and windows, treated own neighbour as stranger. Silly and worthless to smile at them each time.

• What a neighbour, his puppy always comes to my house for nothing and he take no care about it. Luckily the dog that I took care is smart to pee on his gate!

• What a neighbour, always gave her food, to tryout different foods from different culture, eventually, she will return the dish with cold French toast, everytime. As though I don't know how to do French toast, speechless.

• What a neighbour, he looks like a fisherman and clean fish every morning in his car pouch. After cleaned those fish, the fish scales were just washed to the main road and that's it. Is that the proper way? The scales have brain, when they were dried, they will flew back to the car pouch! That's more I like it.

• What a neighbour, everyday approached to you and gossip with you. Nothing else to do?!

• What a neighbour, as a housewife who stayed at home, always being a "spy" to peep opposite neighbour to see who came to our house and what are they doing. We do not need a CCTV!

• What a neighbour, any visitors come to their house, they eventually will horn. It is annoying, because my visitors horn too! With the same tone!
  

And so, that's the end of it.

Mooncake Festival

Yesterday was the official day of Mooncake Festival aka Lantern Festival. Unfortunately, the moon that I saw doesn't looks 360° to me, although it was very bright.

As for yesterday, what I did was, instead of eating mooncake under the moon, I ate durian under the moon! Watching kids around the neighbourhood carrying modern and traditional lanterns, walking and running around under the moon light, some with the entire family members, even with wheel chairs. Some may not take part in carrying the lanterns but their house was lighted up with lanterns! Lovely.

As for me, I miss and missed the enjoyment of burning the candles and lighting the lanterns up to hang around my house in KL. Perhaps gonna miss it for another 3 years. Will wait and see.

Selamat Hari Raya!

I would like to wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya, especially my friends around me!

Selamat Hari Raya!

Ah, another boring holiday for me, reason is because I did not plan earlier to fly back, even worse, last minute only knew that my tuition free week falls on the Raya week! Blaming myself for not planning ahead, by the time I noticed it, the price of flight was like 4-6 times higher than usual price. This year will be my 2nd year to skip the Raya celebration at my uncle's house (Alor Gajah, Malacca), and he celebrates Raya every year. Gonna miss another 3 years? Perhaps so, unless I plan ahead, this will be a great lesson for me.

Last year was not that bored, although I did not fly back, I could at least follow my cousins to visit his friends, but not this year, all busy working, aiks.

Mystery of Deep-sea Fish with Tubular Eyes and Transparent Head

Google-ing is fun! Look what I found while I'm doing my research based on "Fish farming". It's a weird fish with a pair of tubular eyes and a transparent head!

To read more, click HERE.

The barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) has extremely light-sensitive eyes that can rotate within a transparent, fluid-filled shield on its head. The fish's tubular eyes are capped by bright green lenses. The eyes point upward (as shown here) when the fish is looking for food overhead. They point forward when the fish is feeding. The two spots above the fish's mouth are are olfactory organs called nares, which are analogous to human nostrils. Image: © 2004 MBARI

RON95 begins Today

Previously, the price of RON 95 in Malaysia is RM1.75 per litre. From today onwards, it will be RM1.80 per litre and will be introduced to nationwide. Perhaps the 'red' colour fuel(RON 95) that often people neglected in Shell(as an example) will be the main fuel while the 'green' colour fuel(RON97) that mostly people used will be the premium fuel, increased from RM1.80 to RM2.05 per litre. The previous 'green' colour fuel will no longer can be found easily nationwide, only selected locations and city. I've asked the cashier in one of the Shell petrol kiosk in Miri regarding RON97 which commonly we used, he answered me only Kuching has it, RON97 and V-Power are not available in Miri, until future, perhaps.

What do you guys think about it? 1st thing came across into my mind was that, are we downgrading our daily fuel instead of upgrading to RON99? Then, will the performance of the vehicle become worse? Next, will the engine of the vehicle gets dirtier easily? Worst of all, will it damage the vehicle engine?!

Oh well, after I've Google'd for few minutes, my above assumptions are out of the box, totally wrong! Here's a simple conclusion that I can make after reading few articles. 1st things 1st, RON signifies Research Octane Number. It is a measurement of the fuel's ability to resist engine knocking. Knocking only happens in the engine whereby the cylinder explodes when fuel and air being mixed together. The higher the Octane Number, the harder/higher resistance for the engine to knock, which it will reduces the performance of the vehicle! Thus, don't feel and think bad of using a lower Octane Number of fuel, it's just cheaper and environmental friendly, I think.

Gigantic Python near Curtin Sarawak Malaysia?

Well, everywhere now is forwarding an e-mail regarding a big Python was found at Curtin Sarawak Malaysia (CSM) area, to be specific, Senadin, Miri, Sarawak. I don't know about the full story, however, it was found (either death or they kill) during the bush fire in Miri, which caused haze eventually. From the picture below, I believe it was killed by the 'head hunters', just look at its bleeding head.

How many meters could it be? Scary? Indeed! If there is 1, definitely there will be more! My oh my......

Malaysia Haze Index

Haze in Miri, Sarawak

Cough, cough and cough. Lost your voice and also your throat will sore. Damn to all the haze that occurred since last Friday(if not mistaken) in Miri. Every morning I travel to class I gotta open my eyes as huge as possible in order to drive at the correct pathway. Reason? Thanks to the mist thick haze. It's too dangerous and risky for me to get down from car just to get a "scenery" of it.

Can any officer or maybe the government do something about this? As far as I know the haze all were caused by the open burning at Kuala Baram. Now, everyone is suffering and suffocating, especially the place where I'm studying, Curtin University, quite near to Kuala Baram. Never expected the haze was so serious, but, on Tuesday, I woke up early to head to town, and all I saw every corner was, haze, haze and haze!

Here's an article for you guys to read @ TheStar.

A motto for this situation was created by me: 'Daze in the maze of haze!'

Back to Miri

As stated in the title, I'm back. Ah well, class gonna start very soon, 27th July. I guess I gotta readjust my sleeping hour, my sleeping time has been interrupted within 26 days in West Malaysia, sleep later by 3-4 hours. Worst of all, I've to start squeezing my rusted brain, again!

Anyway, during my journey back to Miri, I took 2 shoots of a humanga-danga 'wave' of cloud from the Air Bus of AirAsia. To me, it looks like a desert of cotton candy!
Here's the pictures, click to enlarge the image.

Enjoy!

Stay tuned for more updates!

2 Weeks of Mod

This semester break, I spent 26 days in West Malaysia. Within the 26 days, 14 days were in Kuala Lumpur, my house; whereas the remaining 12 days were in Malacca, my hometown.

Now I'm gonna show you what I've done to my Desktop at my home for 2 weeks. Surgeries were made just for the sake of beauty of my Desktop. Firstly, the cable management, it took me hours to do, and it's my first time too! While doing the cable managements, I was dehydrating, sweats were flowing out rapidly. Then, added some bling bling stuffs and so on.

Before the main surgery began, this is how it looks like, ugly wasn't it?

After major surgery, it turned into this

Doesn't it looks neater compared to the previous pictures?
Later, another surgery has been made and it transformed into this

Added a pair of red CCFL and changed the back exhaust fan, from blue 1.2k RPM to red 2k RPM. The old Cooler Master 1.2k blue LED fan has been placed at the 5.25" bay. Hot enough? Doesn't it looks like a mini 'oven' to you?
Finally, it became like this

Not much different as before, just rearranged the bottom part of the cables and finalised everything before flying back to Miri. Ohya, added a pair of Corsair XMS2 1066Mhz 2Gb RAM too, now 6Gb RAM in total, yeay! These surgeries has cost me about RM300 in total, ouch, my pocket money just flew like that. Originally, my theme was to get purple colour by combining both red and blue, but in the end, I only managed to get a little bit of purple at the 5.25" bay.

Within 2 weeks, I've sneaked to Low Yat Plaza roughly 5 times, just to survey and grab the relevant accessories. Perhaps next trip(November/December) will add some UV stuffs for my Desktop. By the way, just wait for 22nd November, I will fly back to KL, flight has been booked!

Stay tuned for it~

*P/s: Sorry for not updating my blog recently, being a lazy axx lately.

Retimed yet Delayed

As scheduled, our flight, AK5189 suppose to depart from Miri at 9.40pm and estimated will arrive at Kuala Lumpur by 11.50pm. The morning of flying day, I received a SMS from AirAsia, it mentioned that our flight AK5189 was retimed to 11.55pm instead of 9.40pm. OMG, sounds crazy, the retimed departing time will be our original arriving time! So, I simply suggested my aunt to request to get an earlier flight (try our luck see whether can change flight for free or not although the probability is very high low).

Wow, lucky us, there were remaining 6 seats for the earlier flight, AK5187. Well, without any further though, all the remaining 6 seats were taken by us, FOC! Well, just nice for 6 of us, except my cousin as he couldn’t make it, because he’s working, burned 1 ticket. However, there is 1 condition for us to accept the changes of flight, the seats that we were getting will be at the second last row, Row 30A - 30F! Ah, who cares man, even last row I also wouldn’t mind as long as can go back earlier! The schedule for AK5187 will be departing from Miri at 8.45pm and estimated will arrive at Kuala Lumpur by 10.55pm. Not long after we changed our flight, another SMS was sent by AirAsia to my mobile phone, and again, it mentioned that our new flight, AK5187 was retimed to 9.55pm. My oh my, just what happened since morning, guess all flights KL-Miri for 22nd June were retimed? No doubt.

Since AK5187 was retimed to 9.55pm, thus, we went to the air-port before 8pm to check-in for safe side. When we check-in, guess what, the receptionist told us that the flight has been delayed to 10.50pm! Well, new flight was delayed but yet still earlier than the previous flight, still acceptable too. So we wasted our dinner time in the air-port just looking at the ticking clock and watch. In the end guess what, we departed from Miri air-port at 11.35pm! Might as well don’t change the flight? LOL, wasted the efforts just to get a 20 minutes earlier flight?! *Sigh*

I wanna do a simply summary here for both flights. Our original flight, AK5189, departing from Miri at 9.40pm but was then informed and retimed to 11.55pm. We changed to an earlier flight for free, AK5197, originally departing at 8.45pm but retimed to 9.55pm, then was announced delayed to 10.50pm, end up departed from Miri at 11.35pm, annoying!

So and so, we arrived in Malacca at 3.40am. This post was typed completely at 5.04am!

Anyhow, this will be my first and hope to be the last time to fly at night, such remarkable experiences were quite unpleasant. However, there is 1 thing that I like to fly at night but it can only be enjoyed less than 5 minutes then will be boring for the rest of the journey, which is, the top view of Miri city is pretty amazing from the plane!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, airplane does not pass by city of KL, thus, I got no comment else than Sepang area. Anyway, tried to capture an image but too bad, failed. Just imagine thousands and thousands of white candles were lighted up and been arranged accordingly as you like, isn’t it so romantic? Oww, so sweet~

Free to Blog

Finally, the exam was done, and it was 4 days back from today's post. The exam was killing me and that was the worst exam I ever faced! One simple question in my mind for myself, am I tough enough to proceed another 7 semesters? No doubt, always relying on my luck to proceed with less efforts. Now semester break for 5 weeks and waiting for the unpleasant result, to come out, 8th July. I need you, luck!

Anyway, I am going back to West Malaysia this semester break with my aunt and cousin's family on the 22nd June. We will head to Malacca first for 6 days as my aunt has not back to her home in Malacca for 26 months! Ah well, she loves taking care of her 2 grandchildren (my niece and nephew) in Miri and that's the reason she did not go back to Malacca. After spending 5 nights in Malacca, then only we will head to my house in Kuala Lumpur on the 28th June, Sunday. Very sad to say that I will not bring my Celcom Broadband back (stated earlier planning bring back to run a speed test), as my 62 years old uncle here in Miri is taking care of the house and need the internet connection to kill his bored-ness time.

That's it for now, will keep updating my blog (although the laziness to blog is always there)!

Circular Rainbow

Last year I saw a Twin Rainbow, and last month I saw it once again, however, I failed to get a picture of it.

Today, what I saw was beyond my imagination! Guess what, I saw the sun was surrounded by a ring of rainbow!!! How does it looks like? Just simply scroll down and have a look, click on the image to have a larger view and save a copy if you want to. I've tried my best to get the best shoot and I'm sacrificing my mobile phone because the ray from the sun was strong enough to damage my mobile phone's camera lens!

Restless Celcom #2

Continue from few previous post, Restless Celcom #1.

As I stated before, I'll not give up as I wanna increase the duration for my broadband. Guess what happened, for no good reason, my broadband auto disconnected. Worst of all, my signal lost. So, I gotta replug my modem.

Damn. However, I manage to see the duration before it get disconnected, which was 190:01:40, nearly 8 days! Thus, this shall be my own personal record for not turning off or restart my broadband connection for nearly 8 days! See when can I break this record, usually I'll restart my connection at least once per day.

The Fooling Day

Caution: Don't get and be fooled by April Fool from your friends & family!

I'm not gonna fool anyone. Anyway,


Happy April Fool's Day!

Clumsy yet Lucky

Most of the Homo sapiens has 1 bad habit when encounter homework, projects, assessments, assignments, reports, etc. The bad habit will be LAST MINUTE work!

This is what gonna happen if you always complete your work in the very very very last minute:
1. May not be perfect 100%.
2. As the time limit is approaching, you will simply do.
3. You'll take no care even if you feel it's incomplete.
4. Grammar and spelling mistakes everywhere.
5. Produce untidy and messy work.
6. Rush till early morning and no sleep, go to class with no strength.
7. Anxious to get low marks.
8. Gain low mark at the end of the day.

Ok, I admit that I'm one of the Homo sapiens that always do last minute work. It was the worst 'nightmare' that I ever faced. People always give excuses that they had no mood to do their work, until the very last minute, they will rush for it, is that the mood? I've rushed my project till Monday 2am, and ready to save a copy into my pendrive before heading to bed. Before that, I was cleaning the unwanted temporary files on my Desktop. Without anyone's notice, I didn't realise that my folder for my project has been selected. Guess what I hit on my keyboard, I hitted 'Shift + Delete + Enter'.

And wahlah, the 'nightmare' has just began. My heart was like gonna blow! First thing in my mind was, I asked myself to calm down, trying to convince myself so that I can recover it by using certain recovery softwares. Too bad, I can't recover it perfectly. Only manage to recover it for about 70%. The balance 30% I gotta redo it. My tables and diagrams were gone, my drawings were vanished. What to do? Rush again from S to Z (not A to Z, it's the balance 30%)!

Rushed till 4.30am and planned not to go to bed as I gotto get ready for class by 7am, no point for me to sleep. But too bad, the heavy cold rain outside has made me wanna sleep and resulted me to woke later by half an hour compared to normal waking time. And again, rush, rush to class, yet reached too early, ZzZz.

So to all Homo sapiens, please don't do last minute work. If you still refused to change such attitude, wait till you experience it.

Restless Celcom #1

My oh my, bandwidth limit for Celcom Broadband per month is 5Gb while Maxis Broadband is 3Gb. After you exceed the bandwidth of the month, your internet speed will slow down automatically until the following month, as the service provider will reset it once a month.

I, personally using Celcom Broadband in Miri for nearly a year. Think in the near way, 5Gb is kinda big. If you think further, 5Gb is nothing. This is what I mean, look at the image below which I 'print screen' it.

If you can't see and lazy wanna enlarge the image, I'll tell you what am I going to show.

Signal : HSDPA
Network : Celcom
Duration : 162:05:07 = 6.75 days
Volume : 7.4Gb

Ah well, I've on my broadband for 6.75 days streak without even thinking of restarting my connection or laptop. Once you restart, the duration will reset automatically. Now, currently, the duration is still on going. Assume 1 month contains 30 days. I exceeded the bandwidth within 6 days, so I'm gonna suffer for the following 24 days?

Oh well, from what can I conclude is that, I like the connection of HSDPA, reason? If I'm lucky, I can reach 2.0mbps+ for the download speed in the internet speed test. Try it out at www.speedtest.net for free. If in Miri the download speed can reach 2.0mbps, what about in Kuala Lumpur, since it can reach up to 3.6mbps. Gonna try once I go back for mid term break as I didn't bring it back last year semester break. In KL, my DSL connection may only reach 1.5mbps, maximum. Anyhow, the weakness of using broadband is that, it only emphasize on download speed, not upload speed, which means that if you play any online games, the ping must be high and laggy!

Anything else? It's my first time in my life, again, to on my broadband without stopping it! From what you saw in the picture above, the duration is 162:05:07, and now, the moment I'm typing it, is 162:36:44. I'll post the final image once I give up.
