2011-09-30T21:23:00.000+08:00

Due to unknown issue from the Uni.CC, my blog and website have been down ever since last week. I had to shift my domain of my blog from the Uni.CC to Blogspot domain for temporary until the issue has been solved by Uni.CC.

6% Airtime Tax !!

2011-09-10T00:37:00.002+08:00

Refer back to my previous post : Airtime Tax ~ What the hell..

According to The Star today, it has been confirmed that beginning on 15 September 2011 onwards, telcos would start charging 6% service tax on each prepaid reload or a purchase of a new starter pack.

With this new ruling, consumers would be heavily effected as each RM 1.00 reload into phone, telcos would charge RM 0.06. If reload RM 10.00, hence RM 0.60 would charge on consumers and consumers have to fork out RM 10.60.

Strictly disagree on this new ruling. I wonder are consumers able to fight back on this new ruling by MCMC. This would be similarly to Goods and Services Tax (GST) whereas we are inevitable to pay for the tax although we are against on it.

Facebook 3.5 updates

2011-09-07T18:44:00.003+08:00

Facebook has updated on its iOS app to version 3.5.

As everyone is still waiting for the release of the official Facebook for iPad app, the latest version has yet to support on iPad and is seriously disappoint a lot of iPad fans.

However, with this new version, iPhone and iPod touch would enjoy :

- Made it easier to share with who you want
- Added the ability to tag friends and places in posts
- Added the ability to share external links from a web view
- Added new design for Profile and Group Walls
- Improved the sharing tool to add privacy controls on posts and match your settings on the web site

Improvement and bugs :

- Improved Notifications speed
- Fixed a number of Chat bugs
- Made it easier to select filters in News Feed
- Fixed a bug with the Notifications bar disappearing
- Fixed a number of Photos bugs
- Improved performance and stability overall

Facebook removed iPad support in their latest app update. It’s not possible for FaceForward to enable something that’s no longer in the app.

Big disappointment!

Internet is back!

2011-09-03T12:05:00.000+08:00

I have been experiencing two and a half days without an internet..!

It was a worse for me as I can't even play an internet for the past two days. It started on Thursday when my router's DSL LED didn't light. I thought there was a something wrong with my wiring. However, at the same time, my house phone was also couldn't use. There was no sound from my house phone when I picked up the phone.

I couldn't lodge any complaint to TM (Telekom Malaysia) on Thursday as on that day, they were still in holiday. In the end, I had to wait until Friday to lodge the complaint in the TM office. Dialed to 100 and informed them my problem and they replied by saying there was a cable problem infected my house area and the technicians were currently working on that matter.

Hence, I waited until after 5.00pm on Friday and still the problem wasn't solve. Luckily by 11.00 am on Saturday, the technicians solved this cable problem and now I can use my internet.!

Google Malaysia Marks Merdeka Raya

2011-08-31T16:35:00.002+08:00

Legal "Roulette" In Taiping

2011-08-31T01:25:00.000+08:00

Today, I went to the Taiping's Fun Fair which is located in the open square nearby the Bomba Taiping or Taiping Lake Garden Food Court.

It was a small scale's fun fair but was full with a lot of type of "luck" games. One of it was a similarity to the roulette in the casino.

What need to be done is to place a token on the number of your preference. (up to 20 tokens at one time)

Then the person would use the ping pong ball to ask any customer to roll the ball into the tube and the ball would roll down on a number.

The lucky number that has the number on it would win 9 tokens on a single bet for individual number. While double numbers bet would win 5 tokens.

Although the way of playing this game is similar to roulette and shall be considered as illegal without a license. But I think this "roulette" is consider as legal since I see a lot of people playing this game irregardless of age or race.

Selamat Hari Raya & Independence Day

2011-08-31T00:50:00.000+08:00

I wish all my Muslim friends, Selamat Hari Raya & wish all Malaysians, happy 54th Independence Day.

Although we all are busy celebrating Hari Raya festive, we shall not forget on our Independence Day as well.

Enjoy your holidays!

Facebook on Skype

2011-08-29T01:54:00.000+08:00

Skype updated with two new features of Facebook instant message (chat) and Facebook news feed within the Skype.

Newsfeed features

- See your Facebook wall directly in Skype

- Update your Facebook status

- Easily Like or comment on a Friend’s status

- Call your Facebook friends directly on their mobile or landlines

Skype to Facebook IM features

- See Facebook friends in your Skype contact list

- See when your Facebook friends are online

- Instant message with your Facebook friends direct from Skype

I had updated my Skype to the latest version and tested on the instant message feature with my Facebook friend and found out the instant message is not working properly. My friend can received my message but when my friend replied, I cannot see the message from my friend in the Skype but appeared in my Rockmelt. I would get this message in the Skype "Your friend is now offline. They may not have received this message" whereas my Facebook friend was online at that moment.

Meanwhile for the newsfeed feature, it is really interesting as I can check on my friends' post from my Skype and click "Like" or comment on my friends' post. I can even made a video call to my Facebook friend from the Skype.

Airtime Tax ~ What the hell..

2011-08-25T12:51:00.001+08:00

What la with this country! Coming soon will have the Goods & Service Tax (GST) and now want us to pay for the Airtime tax whenever we reload on our prepaid number!

According to the Sun daily, prepaid mobile phone users will have to pay more for airtime next month as telecommunication companies are going ahead with a plan to pass on the 6% service tax to consumers despite opposition from several quarters.

It was reported earlier that the service tax will be implemented on Sept 1 but a source said the implementation date may not be the first of the month but sometime during the month.

Can we oppose on this plan?

Good Bye Steve Jobs & Thank You Very Much

2011-08-25T12:23:00.002+08:00

Steve Jobs resigns as the Chief Executive Officer of the Apple. Tim Cook takes over as the CEO from the previous position of Chief Operating Officer.

I personally thanks to Steve Jobs for the amazing impact to the post PC era as well as the smartphone in the world. Apple has growth tremendously and has been reported to be wealthier than the U.S government.

With that, it marks the arrival of the new era at Apple. Let's us see how Tim Cook brings Apple with more new products in future.

Good news is Steve Jobs will still be around with Apple as the Chairman of the company's board.

7th Edition of Toyota Camry 2012

2011-08-25T01:11:00.000+08:00

A new edition of the Toyota Camry for the year of 2012 has been revealed.

From my first glance on the images, I can see the new edition of the Toyota Camry 2012 is far away from the luxury & executive car compare to the current edition of Toyota Camry.

From the comments I read through from the blog, many commented on this new edition looks like the Honda Civic. Frankly to say, although Toyota says that the new Camry’s form is elegantly simple but modern, emphasizing a wider, lower stance over the previous editions but from the images, I couldn't see the modern look for the exterior and interior of the car.

A big disappointment on my dream car, Toyota Camry. I was expecting a lot luxury and executive of Toyota Camry 2012 compare to previous editions.

Canon Camera "Gila-Gila" Sale!

2011-08-23T16:11:00.000+08:00

Canon is having a "crazy" sale promotion from 27 August until 27 September 2011. Promising up to 30% discounts on selected models and while stock lasts to customers.

I like the poster of this promotion, it is very funny to see the family members tried to prevent their father from buying the Canon cameras. Although people might interpret it to other message such as "don't buy Canon cameras" yet it looks interesting poster there.

I wish Nikon would have such promotion then I can aim for getting a lens for my DSLR.

Arsenal 0 - 2 Liverpool

2011-08-21T01:55:00.000+08:00

I watched this awesome Arsenal vs Liverpool game with Somas in Station 1 yesterday evening. First half was a great performance by Liverpool team with ball possession for the whole first half. Few great saves from both sides goalkeepers. Liverpool took control of the second half and scored two goals. One from the Arsenal player's own goal while another from the forwarder, Luis Suarez.

Just now when I was reading the online news portal, I was shocked to learn that this win was Liverpool first time in 11 years at Arsenal home ground.

iPad 3 Coming in Early 2012

2011-08-21T01:14:00.001+08:00

While in Malaysia, we are still grabbing for iPad 2 and is always facing out-of stock everytime, there was a news reported from Mashable, Apple has begun trial production on iPad 3 which is scheduled to be launched in the early of 2012.

It looks really interesting as the life span for each generation of iPad has cut shorten and will be looking for a new generation after several months of the released of previous generation. For me who uses the first generation of iPad, I would feel myself outdated by next year when the iPad 3 releases.

I believe in the year of 2011, The Year of Copycats as claimed by Steve Jobs would be really interesting as the coming generation iPad would be better than other tablets in the market. As we can see at the moment, the closest competitor would be the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, but for me as long as the Android Market couldn't bypass the AppStore, iPad would remain my first choice.

Cowboys & Aliens

2011-08-21T00:50:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I went to watch this movie, Cowboys & Aliens in Taiping Sentral's Big Cinemas together with my friends, Somas and Bala.

From the posters and trailers, this movie looks interesting and worth to watch. However, after been experienced for two hours inside the cinema, I felt this movie was below from my expectation and not worth for me to pay RM 11 for this movie.

A lesson to learn, make sure the posters and trailers would show the aliens as well rather than just having the cowboys.

myemail in Beta Opens For Sign-Ups

2011-08-15T19:48:00.004+08:00

Do you still remember the controversial official email account for each Malaysian adult suggested by our Prime Minister in the mid of April this year?

Here is the news from The Star Online to remind you back on the news. It was a controversial as it was a considered as a waste on public fund although reports claimed the investment came from the Tricubes Bhd solely without any public fund. However, further reports shown each mail send to the users of myemail, Tricubes Bhd would charge the government agencies RM 0.50. Hence, it will be considered as a waste of public fund as well. Consider if I get an email through the myemail daily, which it means RM 0.50 would bill to government agencies daily. If 10 million Malaysians subscribe to this myemail, hence, Tricubes Bhd would bill RM 5 million in total to government agencies daily. Wow!

By the way, myemail is available for sign-up although it is still in beta stage.

A quick glance at the myemail page reveals a couple of new additions such as a shortcut to E-Services, a tab for Marketplace and a tamtam CRM.

A check on the registration page, it shows large fonts which is good for golden generation. It required several information such as Full Name (exactly from MyKad), MyKad Number, myemail id & password, additional security settings and alternative email address.

The myemail.my is encrypted with 128-bit encryption and uses TLS 1.0. Verified by Digisign Server ID. Which is considered as highly encrypted similarly to online banking sites.

I don't like the limited choices of myemail id which are based on my Full Name and are dotted for a space in between my name.

Nice videos~

Another Controversial Ad on TV9

2011-08-05T01:31:00.001+08:00

Yet another controversial video on Ramadan advertisement was found on TV9. This time it was a story of two neighbors (both are famous DJ on local radio channel) were competing each other before the "bersahur" in the morning over the food preparation.

It was reported to be controversial as there shouldn't any competing over the food preparation for "bersahur" and it would give a bad image to others and stereotype towards the "bersahur" true meaning.

Skype for iPad

2011-08-03T16:48:00.000+08:00

Skype has released its online calling app for iPad.

As I am using the iPad first generation, I am not able to use the video call function but I am very satisfied with the Skype app specially for iPad. I have been waiting for so long.

Controversial Ramadan Advertisements on 8TV

2011-08-03T16:34:00.002+08:00

There was a controversial Ramadan Advertisements on 8TV..!

I was really disappointed with such Ramadan advertisements aired on 8TV. I cannot see the relevant of the stories behind these advertisements.

Rather than making an advertisement in wishing Ramadan, it shows the inappropriate acting by a Chinese girl on three different scenarios.

The first advertisement shows the girl shouting at one stall owner and asking another for a discount. The second advertisement shows the same girl eating greedily in front of the stall, with Muslim customers watching her. The third advertisement shows the girl wearing a sleeveless blouse, with her shoulders and arm-pits pixelated.

By airing such scenarios, the Malays and Chinese would be felt offended. I understand on the appropriateness during the Ramadan towards the Malays as I studied in Sekolah Kebangsaan and all races understand on these even before Merdeka! Why 8TV has to air such 'racist' advertisements?

Truly disappointed!

McValue Lunch & Buka Puasa

2011-07-29T14:12:00.000+08:00

Whenever Ramadan month is coming, I am very excited with the McDonalds and KFC's special promotion for Ramadan month.

As for Ramadan month, I can get the same price as the McValue Lunch or the KFC Lunch Treats for my dinner. Usually I am seldom eating fast foods for my lunch and would usually take it for my dinner. Thus, this Ramadan month would be the month for me to enjoy cheaper fast foods for my fast foods dinner. That's great.!

McDonalds has announced on their McValue Buka Puasa deal similarly with the McValue Lunch prices. An additional to the new family member the Double GCB at RM 14.95 for Medium set.

Trip to Bukit Merah

2011-07-29T13:55:00.000+08:00

Yay! Finally I stepped on the Bukit Merah Waterpark on 28th July 2011. It was my first time I been to the Bukit Merah Waterpark. Sure, this will surprise everyone as for a person who is living in Taiping and to get to Bukit Merah is just 20 - 30 minutes drive to there, is never been to the Waterpark before.

I made this trip together with my ex-classmates from King Edward VII secondary school. It was a very long planning before we made a decision to go to Bukit Merah Waterpark. Haha..

Malaysian Owns Golden Yacht

2011-07-22T13:16:00.000+08:00

Today's The Star reported a Malaysian owns the world's most expensive luxury yacht. Although it is not confirm but it has been abuzz in the Britian's newspapers regarding this news.

A Malaysian paid £3 billion (RM 14.5 billion) for this luxury yacht. This was extremely crazy to own so expensive yacht. I wonder who is the Malaysian who has so many money to spend and willing to spend RM 14.5 billion on this yacht alone?

It would be just the matter of time before we will know who is the rich Malaysian owner =)

2011-07-17T15:54:00.000+08:00

A new update for Apple iOS is available at the moment for iOS devices including the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad, iPad 2 and iPod Touch.

The new update makes it harder and preventing from hacking and jailbreaking. Just few weeks ago, JailBreakMe found a way to jailbreak on the iPad 2 and easily jailbreak by downloading the Cydia from the JailBreakMe website.

With the new update, it would avoid hacking and jailbreaking but it would be a matter of time, for the jailbreaker to find a way to jailbreak on this new update of iOS 4.3.4

Road Parade

2011-07-17T15:42:00.001+08:00

Captured with my phone's camera which is just 3.2 Megapixel and was disappointed with my camera not capturing a nice image on night time.

By the way here is the images taken on the Siang Malam in Taiping for the Chinese God Birthday celebration on road parade.

Malaysia Vs Liverpool

2011-07-17T14:40:00.000+08:00

Great game in Stadium Bukit Jalil between Malaysia and Liverpool.

I watched the game from beginning until the end. Malaysia team played well in the first half but in the second half, they failed to maintain the first half's momentum and allowed Liverpool to score five goals in second half. Most of the goals came from the weak and misunderstanding among the defensive players and the goal keeper of Malaysia.

Proud to see the Liverpool team played in Malaysia for the first time ever and hope in coming years, Liverpool would come to Malaysia again. Although no King Kenny in the field, yet the Liverpool was still playing their best. I am very happy to see Liverpool team was playing more on short passes and one touch football.

SMK King Edward VII Sports Day

2011-07-10T19:23:00.001+08:00

On 9th of July, my alma mater was having its sports day. As usual our tradition for our sports day is held in the afternoon at 2.00pm.

Last time our school's sports day was usually in June but this year, it was had it in July.

No Stevie G in Malaysia

2011-07-06T00:02:00.000+08:00

Source from Soccernet was reporting, Liverpool Captain Steven Gerrard has been ruled out from the Asia tour to ensure he is fit to for the start of the new Premier League season.

It was sad to hear on this news. I thought I can see Steven Gerrard plays against Malaysia Football team on next week.

Hope he will recover as soon as possible and would be able to start on the new season.

MNP to U.O.X.

2011-07-05T11:01:00.000+08:00

Finally I get my Hotlink number ported to University of Xpax (U.O.X.) and my phone shall valid until my age 25 years old.

I ported from Hotlink to U.O.X. because my Hotlink number was not in Hotlink Youth Club and it was very expensive to make a phone call under the normal plan and I have to reload credits into my phone in order to use the Hotlink number to make a phone call or SMS. Hence, I decided to port to U.O.X. as the credit would valid until my age 25 years old.

It took me four days to successfully ported to U.O.X. I think Maxis will blacklist my number as previously, I had been porting a lot of time. Original from Maxis --> Digi --> Maxis --> Celcom.

Now my phone is valid until 7th February 2015. haha.. Better than my Digi Campus which is valid until 13th July 2013.

Images from 1Student 1Sport Event

2011-07-03T16:36:00.002+08:00

Here is the slideshow for the images taken by me on 2nd of July for the launching of the 1Student 1Sport policy (Dasar 1Murid 1Sukan) by our deputy prime minister in Padang Esplanade, Taiping.

At First Was Mitsubishi, Now Is Chevrolet

2011-07-03T00:36:00.000+08:00

At first, Malaysia Police was engaged with Mitsubishi for the Mitsubishi Lancer modified version for Royal Malaysian Police patrol car. Now, it is Chevrolet turns to get the taste to become Royal Malaysian Police patrol car.

Two units of Chevrolet Captiva and one unit of Chevrolet Cruze were given to Royal Malaysian Police to evaluate.

I believe sooner or later, the highway would fill with luxury police patrol cars (Mitsubishi, Honda, Chevrolet) to combat road crime.

Facebook Video Chat Powered by Skype

2011-07-02T13:40:00.000+08:00

Facebook confirms they will launch a video chat service on next week. The video chat is powered by Skype. Although at the moment, there is no screenshots of Skype-powered video chat on Facebook found in the internet but according to Mashable, it would be look alike on the image above.

Interesting and let's wait for next week to see and use on the new video chat service on Facebook !

KFC Lunch Treats

2011-07-01T13:39:00.001+08:00

McDonald's has McValue Lunch while KFC has Lunch Treats.

I saw this advertisement in our local newspaper and finally KFC has fight back McDonald's McValue Lunch. The most popular KFC meal set, the Snack Plate is now offered at RM 8.95 cheaper compare to normal price at RM 10.10. This special price is only available from 12pm until 3pm daily.

For me, I am very seldom to have KFC during lunch time, I usually take Snack Plate for my dinner. Wish they could have such price during dinner time. I would be very grateful.

Transformers Dark of the Moon

2011-06-30T10:05:00.000+08:00

Awesome movie, great story, superb graphics and best sound effect.

It was my first time I catch up with a movie on the day it's released. Transformers Dark of the Moon is really awesome and speechless to describe it. Only you will realize when you sit in the cinema and watch the movie for 2 and half hours.

I watched this movie in 3D. And when wearing the 3D glass, the whole movie would look darker and only sometimes can see the 3D effect. Some more, it is very expensive to rent the 3D glasses in my hometown, the Big Cinemas charges RM 5.00 for one 3D glass. I still prefer the normal or 2D version.

Frustrated with New Digi Campus Rate

2011-06-29T17:22:00.000+08:00

I just realized that beginning 8 of June, a new rate for Digi Campus had been imposed.

I am really surprised Digi changed its Digi Campus plan rate once again. Now even worst. Last time, I sent SMS to my Friends and Family numbers, the SMS was free or charge. Beginning 8 of June, every message sent to Friends & Family numbers would charge RM 0.01 while to non Friends & Family numbers, a SMS would cost RM 0.01 as well.

Sending SMS to other telecommunication providers are remained same with RM 0.06. Why they didn't inform us through SMS on this new rate. I am surprised to check my statement on every SMS sent to my Friends and Family list was charged RM 0.01.

1Murid 1Sukan in Taiping

2011-06-29T16:05:00.000+08:00

This morning I saw people putting up banners of this event in Jalan Taming Sari. I went nearer to see and realize on 2nd of July, our Deputy Prime Minister will be coming to my town to launch on the 1Murid 1Sukan policy.

Date : 2nd of July

Time : 7.45 am

Place : Padang Esplanade, Taiping

It seems like this event would have a short run around Taiping Lake Garden among the leaders of Malaysia and students.

Good move to promote such policy on students, to encourage students to take up at least a sport. I believe on 2nd of July, the whole Lake Garden would crowded with students from all Taiping's schools.

Ancient DSLR

2011-06-29T15:55:00.000+08:00

Anyone know what model is it?

I saw it when I was visiting the Han Chiang's museum .

They look like DSLR, yet it looks very ancient model. Haha..

Freak Accident

2011-06-29T15:47:00.001+08:00

On 28th of June, I witnessed a freak accident in front of my eyes. I was so surprise to witness such accident. It happened in the traffic light of Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah.

That time, I was stopping my car as the traffic light turned red, cars from opposite was moving with green light. As I am waiting for my lane's traffic light turns green, I am looking at the cars passed by besides me. Then for the sudden, the bike in front of me moved to turn right while the traffic light still red on my lane, hoping to cross the road while there isn't much cars from opposite.

However, the biker's wish was cut short when his bike moved slowly to cross the road was crashed by Toyota Camry which was driving from the opposite. The Toyota Camry wasn't driving fast, around 70 - 80 kmph. I was feeling weird as why the biker would cross the road to right hand side since there were still cars moving from opposite. I am very sure that the biker can see the Toyota Camry was coming.

The impact of the crash caused the biker to fly over the Toyata Camry and plunged onto road. The biker's bike, Yamaha was flung 10 - 15 meter away from the crash site. Both Toyota Camry and the Yamaha were badly damaged.

I stopped by to help the biker, fearing the biker might dead, but luckily, God was with him, he just lost conscious and an ambulance brought him away.

From the crash, the helmet of the biker break apart. I couldn't see any blood around the biker, so I think mostly would be internal injuries.

Skype for iPad

2011-06-27T11:57:00.003+08:00

Soon, I can use Skype app compatible with iPad. I can say good bye to the ugly x2 interface. Currently, I am using Skype app for iPhone and it is really trouble to use it with iPad. With iPhone keyboard, I couldn't enjoy the real experience of chatting :)

Soon, I will have a better app for Skype with the launching of Skype app specially for iPad. It would run better with iPad 2 as it can use for video call compare to iPad 1. But, I would be happy with just chatting with my Skype friends using with iPad 1.

Massage on Cat

2011-06-25T19:15:00.002+08:00

I had an interesting cat. This cat loves us massage on her back. We need to pat on her back and she would looks very enjoying. Compare to other cats, usually when we pat on them, they would run away but my cat is so special and very happy to have people pat on her back.

Have a look on the video taken by me. She was so adorable when I pat on her.

Unreasonable Profile Update - Parlimen and DUN location

2011-06-25T18:52:00.003+08:00

As on 20 June, most of students were checking their final exam results, our Portal had been flooded with high traffics. It was normal to have this situation as for the past few semesters, I had experienced on this. Hence, I need to check my final exam results during midnight where the traffics would not as high as in the day time.

However, something went wrong and ended everyone couldn't check their results on that day. The results was published on the next day after they had fixed on the system. In the end, every student has to update their current profile before they are allowed to check their results.

It was a good way to get the latest information from students as we were eager to know our results, I am fine to update my profile as well, but to my surprise, inside the profile required us to fill in our Parlimen and DUN location.

What is our Parlimen and DUN location need to do with our student profile??

We are noted that all university students are prohibited to involve in politics!! It was very suspicious! to have our Parlimen and DUN location updated to the university system. Is this the sign that general election would be around the corner? Or anything special would I get by filling this Parlimen and DUN location?

Until today, no explanation is given by any university authority or our students' representative regarding this Parlimen and DUN location updated to our student' profile.

I hope the university won't involve us in any politics motive!

Final Exam Results Leaked

2011-06-25T18:31:00.000+08:00

Few days before the real date of final examination results released, it had leaked online. Everyone was sharing in Facebook the link to check the results.

Supposing, everyone can check their final exam results on 20 June but on 17 June, the link to check the results was shared in the social media and it had create an uproar to everyone.

All we need to do was login to our UUM Portal first and then click on this link, http://www.umis.uum.edu.my/umis/biodata/keputusan_pep.jsp?term=A102&valid=true to check the results of current semester. The link was get from the UUM Biodata and was hidden in our Biodata for few days before 20 June.

Although, our MPP Facebook fanpage had explained on the situation but the reason given by them wasn't acceptable. It was impossible for someone to hack into the university computer and get all the students results and so kind to share to everyone. If I were the hacker, I would prefer to hack into the system and change my academic results rather.

Actually, there wasn't any hacking process needed, all we need to do is login into our Portal, go to the Biodata, inside there, we can check our previous semester examination results, we just need to change the semester to A102 then we can get the results for that semester. Similarly to our Add Drop process through portal.

Few days before the results released, they would hidden the link to avoid people to check it but yet there was always clever persons to unveil it. This method can be reused for our coming final examination.

Famous Portuguese Grilled Seafood in Mid Valley

2011-06-25T17:54:00.000+08:00

My friend brought me to Mid Valley to have the famous Portuguese Grilled Seafood in Mid Valley. As it was my first time in Mid Valley, I had the difficulty to choose which food for my lunch and in the end, I chose this suggested from my friend the Pari fish.

It has a lot of varieties for customers to choose and the famous ones according to my friends are the Pari fish, Lala, and Sotong.

I ordered the Pari fish for RM 7.50 + RM 0.40 for the rice. Having a meal in the metropolitan would cost me RM 7.90 which was very expensive in my opinion. I had to spend one red colour note (RM 10.00) just for my lunch inclusive a cup of water.

Yet, my utility for this lunch was very high and was satisfied although the Pari fish was very spicy.

Trip to KL & Selangor

2011-06-25T17:41:00.001+08:00

I left my home on 11 June and returned home on 24 June. Exactly two weeks, I was away as I was attending these events.

Pre-NatCon (National Convention) on 12 June

NatCon from 13 June until 18 June

Post-NatCon from 18 June until 20 June

Reception intern for SOLS 24/7 from 21 June until 23 June

Visit my gf on 23 and 24 June

Throughout this two weeks, I had been to a lot of places in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. Travelling from Serdang, to Segambut, to KL Sentral, to Bukit Bintang and to Mid Valley.

I had my chance to visit the Mid Valley for the first time with my AIESEC friends, Sharon and Hui Yi and we had a Fast and Furious 5 movie there.

NatCon 2011

2011-06-25T17:26:00.002+08:00

Extremely intensive 6 days planning from 13 June until 18 June 2011. I attended the National Convention 2011 which is an annual event for Management Team of each Local Committee of AIESEC. There were approximate of 350 delegates from 11 different Local Committee of AIESEC in Malaysia had attended this 6 days event.

We were staying in Kolej 17 and I were impressed with the condition of the accommodation. It is a house type accommodation where inside a house has four rooms to accommodate two persons in each room.

From what I know, this college 17 is specially for medic students. It has a very good environment to live, study and leisure.

Myt favourite topic discussed by ING which was Communication and was very suit to my current position as Vice President of Communications Department.

930 tonnes of food being thrown away every day

2011-06-10T13:09:00.002+08:00

Adapted from The Star

Looking at the title alone, it was scary to hear so many wasting foods are thrown away each day. This is true as I seen it with my eyes how Malaysians bad eating habit of unfinished foods.

In my campus, I see a lot of Malaysians took a lot of foods on their plates and I am impress with certain of them who are able to finish all of the foods. However, I am disgrace to most of them who are not able to finish all of the foods. Some of the foods just being eaten with few bites.

I am wondering what they are thinking of waste foods. Are they very rich persons? or they are trained to be like this in their home? I am very curious to know !

There was one time, I am together with my gf in Pizza Hut Taiping and saw two Malays couple eating beside my table, ordering a new set of appetizers . They just ate few bites of the appetizers and left the remaining on the table! I am wondering what they are thinking? The unconsumed foods can be taken back to give to family members or anyone else. By leaving the foods on the table, all the unconsumed will be thrown to dustbin. It is wasting the foods!

EveryDNS to FreeDNS Afraid

2011-06-08T01:45:00.001+08:00

This morning I received an email from EveryDNS (current DNS Host) regarding request to shift their server to a new host which is Dyn. For the past few days, I have the trouble in logging to my blog. I always receive the DNS error page.

A check in the EveryDNS website shown that 84 days left for all its members to shift to a new host.

So, I had to shift to a new DNS host. However I found it complicated to host under Dyn, hence I need to find a new host. As I was looking for a new host, it would take several hours to effectively change to a new host. I found this free DNS host which is FreeDNS Afraid. It is very easy to setup for the DNS compare to Dyn.

As I am using a free domain, Uni.CC, so I have to change its Nameserver #1 and #2 to a new host : ns1.afraid.org and ns2.afraid.org.

After that, login to the FreeDNS Afraid and click "Manage" and click on your domain. Select the Type A, Subdomain to www and the destination to 216.239.32.21 or 216.239.34.21 (which is for blogger)

In the beginning, there would be a broken domain, just ignore it, wait for several hours and click on the "Check for Broken Domains" then it would be successfully port to this new host.

After that wait for several hours, then a new DNS host would be setup and ready to use.

Apple Now Worth More Than Microsoft & Intel Combined

2011-06-07T15:01:00.000+08:00

According to the news reported in Mashable.com

Apple is now worth more than Microsoft and Intel combined. That is impressive to see the Apple has growth so much in the past few years.

Since the launching of iPhone and iPad few years ago, everyone has been dying of owning these two gadgets. I owned iPad and after using it for several months, I have the feeling of owning iPhone and MacBook as well. But yet, now isn't the time for me to get these two technology at the moment as I already have a handphone and a laptop. But surely, I am looking forward to own these two gadgets in future.

One of the reason of Apple growth surpass Microsoft and Intel is the strong response towards iPad 1 and iPad 2. I strongly agree on this as nowadays in the newspaper, I always see advertisement promoting their brands with a competition of the prize of iPad 2. With such support towards iPad, in future, we can see each and everyone of us would own this Apple tablet rather than a laptop.

So, what Microsoft and Intel would be doing to counter this fact ? Not to forget, currently most tablets in the markets are equipped with Android. So, in the future, if we are preferring to a mobile gadget rather than PC (desktop), then Microsoft and Intel would lose its popularity.

Bak Chang Celebration

2011-06-06T23:21:00.000+08:00

Today is a Bak Chang (Rice Dumplings) celebration.

I ate one of it today and it was very delicious. Only once in a year, I would have the chance to eat Bak Chang, the rest of the days mostly it would be very hard to find people selling Bak Chang in the market.

2011 Perodua Myvi D54T

2011-06-05T15:53:00.000+08:00

The new Perodua Myvi has been shown to publics in the Buletin Utama ! A sneak preview on this new Myvi with the tagline Will this replacement Myvi conquers the national automobile industry !

All these images are taken from Paultan.org Perodua Myvi D54T Refer to this link for more images of the new Myvi.

I am wondering why has the D54T. What does it mean?

I am impress with the touch screen navigation system built into the car. How much would be for this car and the specs ! Lets wait for the launching of this new Myvi by end of this month.

Magic with iPad

2011-06-05T15:40:00.002+08:00

Have a look on this Simon Pierro, a magician performing his magic tricks with iPad. Truly awesome!

Motorola EX115

2011-06-04T16:23:00.000+08:00

Qwerty Keyboard & 2.3' Screen

This was my first time to own a Motorola mobile phone. Last few days I was looking for a replacement for my phones as one of my phone is not functioning well. Both of my Windows phones are very heavy and are unsuitable for me to bring out all the times.

LG KS20 & Dopod 838 pro

Hence, I was looking for a Dual SIM phones. So that I just need to carry one phone rather than two phones all the time. I found several phones such as CSL, Samsung, Motorola, Nokia and etc. After screen through the list of phones, I get it into the top two preference phones, Samsung Chat 322 or Motorola EX115.

After few consideration and review from the internet, I decided to go for the Motorola EX115 as it has 3.2 Megapixels camera and has bigger screen of 2.3' compared to Samsung Chat 322 with 1.3 Megapixels and 2.2' screen size. Although the Motorola EX115 priced higher than Samsung Chat 322 by RM 50 yet the features are more to offer.

Dual SIM & MicroSD up to 32GB

3.2 Megapixels camera with video recording

It has a very good sound and awesome camera quality for 3.2 Megapixels, to expect the phone at RM 320, it is unbelievable have the Motorola EX115 to match with other Dual SIM phones.

2011 Perodua Myvi Ready For Booking

2011-06-03T09:50:00.000+08:00

The new 2011 Perodua Myvi is ready for booking beginning 4th June 2011. After so long of rumour in the internet on the latest new Myvi that is set to rock the national automobile industry once again.

(Current Perodua Myvi)

From the internet, we can see the new Perodua Myvi in spyshots photos from several websites. As I'm seeing the photos, I can see not much change from the current model of Perodua Myvi. I was expecting to have a full re-design of the car similarly to the Proton Saga. I am not looking for a facelift of current Perodua Myvi.

Booking is available from 4th June, thus, it would be a matter of time that this new Perodua Myvi would be launched. Let's stay tune for the launching of this new car.

Youth Nation Summit 2011 ended

2011-06-01T23:44:00.000+08:00

Youth Nation Summit 2011 had finally came to the end. This event began on 28th May and lasted for 4 days. Yesterday on 31 May, the event ended with the launching of the closing ceremony by our Prime Minister, Dato' Sri Najib Tun Razak in One World Hotel, Petaling Jaya.

Today's this event was fully coverage by almost all Malaysian newspapers. This was a great news as it helps to expose AIESEC and myHarapan brand towards Malaysians. I hope after this event, more companies would aware of AIESEC in Malaysia.

I had made the live coverage of this event in my AIESEC in UUM's Twitter : http://twitter.com/LCUUM

In this event, our Prime Minister has launched the myHarapan micro funding, a conditional grant structured to provide financial assistance to youth movements that involved in nation-building projects. It will provide with seed money of between RM 5,000 and RM 15,000 to embark on various programs.

Good news for me as Skim Latihan 1Malaysia (SL1M) program would be launched by Prime Minister today which would provide graduates with training and internship program with government-linked companies for a period of one year.

iWork Apps with iPhone Compatibility

2011-06-01T13:15:00.000+08:00

As we all know iWork iOS apps, (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote) are working with iPad only. However, Apple has released an update on these iWork iOS apps and now all of these apps would be compatible with iPhone and iPod touch.

Having the iWork iOS apps available in iPhone and iPod touch, would be great as for iPhone and iPod touch users as we can edit and viewing documents at any time. Yet in my opinion, using iPhone and iPod touch to edit on the documents would be very hard as the screen is so small compare to iPad.

According to this schedule, it was a disappointed because Penang isn't listed in the second version of the PC Fair. I think it is because in the first version, in Penang, there were two places in the island were having PC Fair but in different places.

Yahoo!!! I'm coming home, I'm coming home.. tell the World I'm coming home.. let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday!!

Haha.. Finished my last paper!

This paper I just need to memorize the tips given by my lecturer. Each and every tips given by my lecturer were exactly the same! Or else I would die on this paper.

Anyway, just as the lyric above, wash away all the pain of yesterday, and heading for a better today and tomorrow. Now it is time for holiday.

Tomorrow I shall be in Kuala Lumpur for Youth Nation Summit 2011. Will update on this event soon.

Financial and Reporting III

2011-05-26T18:42:00.000+08:00

Sorry for my late post. This post suppose to be from yesterday.

I had finished my second last paper. Now left one more paper! Tomorrow is my day :)

Out of all the papers I taken in this semester, this paper I worried the most as I messed up with the formula and my Statement of Financial Position couldn't get it balance! Hopefully I can get a good result for this paper.

Anyway, now I am heading for my last paper!

Opera Mini for iOS

2011-05-24T23:58:00.001+08:00

Opera has just released its version 6, Opera Mini 6.0 that is available for iOS devices.

Opera Mini 6 is available for Free download via AppStore.

Tried on this new app by Opera, similarly to my phone's Opera Mini. The web would load in mobile version rather than desktop. It would save a lot of bandwidth for 3G model. However, to have the browser to load a desktop website, it would take longer time compare to Safari.

I tested on four websites : Google, Lowyat, Blogger and Facebook. Google and Facebook would load in mobile version and they loaded quickly. While Lowyat and Blogger, they would take minutes! to load completely. Thumbs down.

Sultan of Johor owns RM 5.2 million Fastest Car in World

2011-05-24T15:20:00.002+08:00

I couldn't imagine any Malaysian would drive this Bugatti Veyron on Malaysia roads with the maximum speed limit of 110 km/h.

However if this car is owned by Sultan then it makes sense. This white blue Bugatti Veyron is owned by Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Ismail. This car is price at USD 1.7 million or RM 5.2 million. This would be the first Bugatti Veyron in Malaysia.

This car is powered by an 8-litre W16 quad-turbocharged engine that produces around 1001 horsepower, the Bugatti Veyron is able to reach from 0 to 100km/h in just 2.46 seconds and a top speed of more than 400 km/h which made it one of the fastest production cars in the world.

PSD Scholarships Flummoxed

2011-05-22T11:48:00.000+08:00

Once again this year, the newspapers reported grouses of top students of SPM were unable to get their choices of PSD scholarships.

Some scored very excellent such as 9A+ and 1A and wishes to get a degree in engineering in Germany instead is offered a diploma.

It happens every year and this year is different as our Prime Minister said anyone who gets 8A+ would get a PSD scholarship regardless of races, background and etc. However, these few days newspaper reported cases of top students obtaining the minimum requirement of 8A+ do not receive their preference PSD scholarship.

The worst was reported by the Deputy Education Minister, government officers who failed to follow Cabinet directives was one of the main reasons why top students failed to get scholarships. How come this can be happened?

It is sad to see this case happening each and every year. I recall back my time when I finished my SPM examination, I wasn't having excellent results to apply for scholarship, thus, I couldn't apply for the PSD scholarship but I applied for matriculation. Yet I didn't get a place in matriculation and had to further my study in STPM.

Stream Audio from iPad to PC

2011-05-20T01:30:00.000+08:00

I like to listen to radio but sadly when my broadband monthly quota finishes, my line would be lagged and hardly to listen to online radio. However, my iPad can stream the online radio smoothly using the hitz.fm app (for Hitz FM, MyFM, MixFM, and Lite FM), MPB app (for Fly FM and One FM) and SingRadio app (for 988) even after my monthly quota.

All these apps can play online radio stations smoothly. But the problem is I need external speakers or earphones to play the music as I scare on the internal speaker would spoil if I use it to play music for long hours. Hence, I search in the internet and found this software calls, Shairport4w. This software allows Windows to wirelessly stream audio from iOS device similarly to AirPlay. It requires Apple Bonjour in order to run this software which is already available if you have installed iTunes.

Download Shairport4w

All I need to do is download this software and run this software. This software doesn't need to install into computer. Then, open my radio app, MPB, let it runs on One FM. I can see beside the volume, an icon for me to choose either to play audio with my internal speaker or PC.

Now I can enjoy my online radio stations from my laptop speakers via iPad apps!
