How do I lost my time so vainly

2007-04-09T21:39:00.000+08:00

Talking about wasting time, I have a tiny iPod nano that have tiny weeny storage... being a typical PC user I tend to manually manage my iPod music library from iTunes. I can't afford duplicate songs because the mp3 player always use to full capacity but I still repeatedly copy same song twice and thrice...

To eliminate the extras I am so smart I sort the song name alphabetically and go over the whole list and able to find all the duplicate entries. After that so conveniently I found a tool calls "Show Duplicates" from "View" menu...

I hope writing this entry is not another time waster tho ;)

Where to go for lunch

2007-03-18T13:48:00.000+08:00

Do you have friend and family or anyone never ending pestering you with question about where to have breakfast, lunch, dinner or even an ordinary "yam cha" place? I do have...

I decided to create a custom search for everything about Malaysian foods. Hopefully the refined search can lead to some better insight of where to have all the great foods in Malaysia. I have high hope that it can solve this no-brainer problem once and for all!

One click away I am about to clear up everything!

I want to post at lot of entertaining stuff and perhaps more photos hmm how I wish my 1G mobile phone have a cheep o camera to shoot for...

Here is it! Go to Keeptumblr. It mean I keep a tumblelog... ok whatever :)

Stop Monkeying with My Broadband Bandwidth

2007-01-14T22:38:00.000+08:00

Check your new streamyx bill (given that you are subscribe to this ~~retarded~~ service) most noticeable start from December 2006, Tmnet streamyx subscription monthly bill now includes your monthly bandwidth usage in the column at right hand side. Well start speculates what is this all about. According to them that's what customer request; to know their monthly download and upload bandwidth usage.

Tmnet is too generous and kind to start provide this new information but stranded when ask to allow freedom (lift the p2p connection throttling) of p2p bandwidth usage. Customers has questioned the unusual p2p connection problem cause by obvious restriction from ISP side for umpteen times but only getting useless response and vague answer or total denial, sometime they even put customer's hardware configuration accounted. Do admit your company did throttling p2p connection for all your streamyx subscription; your ignorant is sheer vain effort to cover up and abuse your customer rights.

The rumors has it, Tmnet may plan to implement bandwidth usage limit for offering several plans that distinct different type of broadband user, be it low usage, multimedia centered or power user that need heavy bandwidth. It might be good news they throw a 'solution' finally. Some might overjoyed, some will ditch its grave before it born. From my point it view it does have pros and cons.

You might be a lightweight broadband user that you want to browse websites, send email and instant messaging. p2p connection is not your concern. You obviously will glad to get a cheaper plan that has bandwidth limitation to certain amount. Good news to you provided that the plan itself is cheaper than your current bill. If not they just rip off the "Unlimited bandwidth usage" once they use to sweet talk you for subscription. And because of it our nation broadband will never be cheap as promoted by the Minister because you never get the best out of Internet when you have limited bandwidth and also this depends to the price structure of the service.

Other pros of this move that benefits ISP are too common sense that I don't bother to list out (too many of them). The truth is Tmnet has a problem to handle all its streamyx subscription.

In 2006, Internet becomes more coherent to users due to web application usage upraised for example invention of so many useful applications from web2.0 blooming. People rush to YouTube, pumping Internet content writing blogs, switch their ear to podcast and video cast. p2p sharing protocol like bittorrent is nothing new to Internet user. All these will be further flourish in year 2007. So as an ISP you should see this coming, more and more Internet users change to broadband service in order to meet the bandwidth requirement for all these that's the reason they subscribe broadband.

From my understanding when user subscribes to streamyx broadband service we want to use it for whatever service that Internet can offers in legal sense. p2p is one of the service that urge so many users to use broadband service. Back to the truth problem lies in streamyx, it continuous accepting more and more subscriber with insufficient bandwidth on hand due to the lack of vision on new generation Internet content or maybe they already see this coming but do nothing. In the end complains rose and Tmnet start to blame user for using too much bandwidth. Your clever planner did not do a good job in foreseen this scenario is your own failure and please do not plant it to customers' head (blaming). Give an example you sell cloth and your design suck big time no one buy it and everyone who brought it hate it, can you blame your customer having bad taste? In that you can find the answer for your problem, Fashion and Trend do change; same do Internet and online service. Save your dinosaur time to start blaming your customer.

Seriously they still have time to change but be preparing to accustom to new generation of online services and Internet users. Curb your antique monopoly 'broadband' plan. Sometime I wonder what is broadband and why it is not what I learn form textbook… must be confused by some joker.

Check your streamyx bill (use IE for this)

Captivate by vain of oneself

2006-08-23T22:46:00.000+08:00

Not sure from when I spend time sitting infront of my PC reading some articles then my mind started bewilder. After awhile I'm tired, I'm calm with a mooniest piece of mind and I sit there just stare blankly on the luminous display with my music play still repeating one tunes and repeat again and another time.

Sure I remember sat there long enough that I can realize I should move for my bed. I guess that's in my way I might find serene that squander moment. Or I just out of focus, emm not sure maybe yes I guess.

dude are you ok? You probably ask. Nah yup I'm still happy enough to feel for this thin air and following my encounter of this frenzied life with a little sidetrack. I believe this is the reason I abandoned me blog, you sure not want another bs like this or listen to me whine about teeny weenie wretched story.

Could you do me a favor

2006-05-08T21:45:00.000+08:00

Pals if you know me in person please help me in my johari window. ok WTF is Johari Window if you ask

The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in the 1950s as a model for mapping personality awareness. By describing yourself from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up.

Basically it is what it is... just DO it if you are free yeah. Thanks in advance :)

My Johari Window, for all teh positive traits in me.

My Nohari Window, then this is for negative force. You can skip this since i can't even think of any of these suit me :P

Tell me yours if you need me a favor to evaluate you!

Today evening sunset was beauty, utter mesmerise by dazzling amber ambient above my head. The sky is golden everything looks glary. Nightfall sunshine shower entire earth that lack of luster and paint them in shinning golden coat. Suddenly everything sounds majestical and warmth for that adorable evening.

Cyberjaya's skyline sheer glorify by nice evening setting.

My eyes can't escape from it, I drove my journey back home leisurely and enjoying the savor of enchanting sundown.

It trailed with heavy rain plus thundering actions hitting hard, spanking everything and alter them back ordinary that's unordinary. :)

I actually won a computer racing games battle

2006-03-12T18:43:00.000+08:00

I won some prizes from my company last Friday, they arranged a fun activity having us to race against each other in computer network racing games. I participated and compete against other 29 racers, quiet a thrill experience there since I never take part in any computer games competition before. This just a relaxing for fun games so not much competition in there hehehe. The computer games we played was the famous computer car racing games series "Need for speed" with the latest release in series "NFS: Most Wanted".

source nez

I played various video games and properly that benefits me even I did not practice before the race start. I played before NSF:MW in PS2 console with a proper comfortable video games controller, where the challenge this time was using a PC and standard keyboard that suck for racing games, I demand a steering wheel controller better with pedal!

Of course we compete for fantastic prizes that no one would expect before. And they create buzz that the first prize winner get a Malaysian Grand Prix F1 ticket worth RM500 and chance to sit beside Michelle Yeoh. Lol what a alluring attraction. Eh but everyone seems to buy the idea and compete crazy upon that. To Dear Datuk Yeoh, beware those lunatic sit beside you ;)

Come back to the competition. Quiet a surprise to me too when I won the primarily round of the competition. After first round finished, I found myself holding the fastest race time in all the groups thus I pretty confidence since then. Later my colleagues kept on teasing me and all the Michelle Yeoh hype and trolls make me a bit nervous hope you guys understand my sentiment that time :D

The final race to compete for top 4th places comes, I have a pretty steady start and lead for almost 2 laps and the 3rd lap which also the final lap I started to feel pressure and for your information my opponents are not bad and almost never errant (eh they are good la). And the pressure built up influence by my colleagues from same department, pretty intense race and foes' car kept on catching up from behind. At a particular steep 90 degrees corner where behind are bunch of cars and I over confidently shove the accelerate key and put a weak steer left hoping it can have a nice steadily passing that vicious corner, but I think the car goes understeer and over accelerate thus my car lose grip and bang aside to the wall and cars from behind simply pass over me and thats gone my fabulous prizes and chance to see Michelle Yeoh ;P.

Despite of the drama, I manage to come back and race toward the end and won the 2nd place. Hurray so I still get some goodies, a F1 ticket, a t-shirt and a cap with shameless company logo for free advertisement on living host isk isk. I remember last year bowling competition for all the luck me and my team also got 2nd place and won a RM5 McDonald voucher, I see improvement this year ;) I want to change this, always being 2nd, bad karma for Yee Lai Meng arrrhhhh.

Oh I'm going to ~~F1 model show~~ Malaysian Grand Prix F1 2006 race day in Sepang F1 circuit this year, hillstand nia expecting hot weather and sweaty condition.

Wish for a Flamboyant Living Lifestyle

2006-03-12T13:25:00.000+08:00

Went to a property sales office near my place, that project called East lake develop by HKLand promoting lake view visible apartments. Out of the blue I wanna to see what it offers. Quiet disappointed because nobody there in the morning and it exactly not type of project I'm expecting, therefore I grabbed some catalogs and leave. They selling apartment couple with interior design, furnitures, security system, et cetera. The selling price is from RM301K with 7% Bumiputra discount, 300K+ for a single unit of apartment space bundle with lotsa unnecessary craps, freaking dear pricey property you get. Heck I never thought that it's selling some pompous apartment near my Ulu place target rich young executive only, obviously the apartment scarce space definitely not suitable for family with kids.

Are there really that much of young executives willing to move into apartment where everyone will tell you landed property is far better than apartment or condo. That's the mindset told form older generation and continue rooting us believing. Well I would think landed property have its advantages, but successful of expensive apartment depending on new generation willingness on pursuing different lifestyle alas ostentatious quality lifestyle. Or my mistake, there are far more born rich blokes than average joe in our country. Put aside this maybe the strategy is to rent them to big corporation for business trip accommodation purpose, this is more convincing and profitable if theres demands around.

Pretty unrealistic living lifestyle to market for.

A day with Malaysia Public Transports

2006-03-05T21:00:00.000+08:00

It happens again, I am late for getting to somewhere again... As I planned properly earlier and make sure everything is taken care of, still I am late for the KL Marathon 2006 7 km fun run. I should not have any reason to be late in getting there join the crowd start the race and have some fun. They can officially label this participant as status ~~DNS~~DNS but not DNF. Shame on me isk isk.

I must clarify this is not solely my fault maybe it's mine but if our public transport is ~~flawless(dream la)~~efficient and trustworthy I might make it on time. I spent 36 minutes freaking 36 minutes waiting for a train and arrived late later found myself take the same disgrace trip back home. When I approaching registration counter and enquire about registration(too obvious I'm late nothing much they can do), the pakcik give me a pale face, pointing somewhere far away and told me everyone started the race and left me alone in dismal. So I turned back and walk home. Anyway the official website published the marathon's result.

***

Newsvine, another web2.0 application/company or whatever. I guess it had includes all buzz word features in web2.0 cluttered into a community contributes news website in a well done manner. Newsvine doing a good job for having news supplied by press(which credence material to read) and also put attention in user post news too. They put both news sources side by side on each subject/page. Internet user really tiring of repeating ourselves in sign up all these new "web2.0" application, they certainly flourishing non stop. Sometimes they suck so user login once abandons forever. In this case not for Newsvine.

Watching Oscar and Chinese New Year Taman Negara Trip

2006-02-12T13:56:00.000+08:00

For the first time in my life i feel tanned. Looking into the mirror found myself having chocolate complexion i'm like what the fuck when can i get back my usual face! Damn that was a moment of syiok i got.

Visited Taman Negara recently, the air is cool, everything looks green and fresh. Not much extreme activity i thought it would be, we do a lot of treking in the woods and usual stuff you do in jungle...

That trip sum up my chinese new year holiday, sum up the feeling over past cny it was like roller coaster ride that fucking anti-climax to the max. If i continue riding it i would end up speaking like Chewy, Chewbacca. UUUHHHGGG-rrrrrrrrrrrr...

Today i read about that the Oscar 78th annual academy awards nominees list was rolled out. Quickly i took a glimpse of it.

Many great films got nominated and some of it i pretty much enjoyed over year 2005. This year nomination giving me good impression and satisfaction compare to last few year where now it seems to be less commercial touched movie and more cinematic glorify films listed. Either they lost grip or the panel have change hands or more praise toward this trend, i say they have decent taste in choosing good films. Bunch of movies in nomination list, i still not have the chance to watch all. I think better looking at the best motion picture nominees because most of it pretty much i've done watching.

Best Motion Picture of the Year

Brokeback Mountain
Great mountain view, clear river, flock of sheep, everything seem magnificent and mesmerizing so do love between Ennis and Jack. It change my thought of romance between two cowboys can be so tender, but it's hard to prevail.

Capote
Pending will watch it soon.

Crash
Thrill by the vibrant society and chain reaction of a crash incident reveal cliche happens in stereotyped society. Splendid storyline and several touching scenes really caught my attention ::thumbups:: Interesting to know movie like Crash have a newly coined name called "hyperlink movie" which mean

"In a hyperlink movie the motives of one character may have to be reinterpreted after we meet another one" - Roger Ebert

Good Night, and Good Luck.
Wow George Clooney can direct film too, but i have to say it's good. About the movie, what's the implication of the couple in that broadcasting group? Someone please enlighten me ;)

Munich
Pending will watch it soon.

It will be more exciting to choose one of my favorite and wait for the red carpet event and see who will triumph in this year little gold man awards. Now my bet is still Crash, must win material and the original sound track "In the deep" by Birdyork is ear rewarding!

I'm Retarded Website Designer

2006-01-15T12:08:00.000+08:00

Since Internet invented, estimately human created 600 billion static and dynamic pages of contents in ranging from News, online catalogue, directory, articles to forum threads. There are enormous amount of information living in it.

Following is extremely embrassing i had hesitated to post this earlier, somehow at the end i still make this happen, making fool of myself hurray. This may be the most stupiest thing i ever did. Here's the confession. When there were few peoples online, Internet is a niche place for surfer to rambling around. I remember there were not much excitement being online. You have email, irc and some plain and sometimes boring websites to surf. Out of the blue, i did it, the stupid matter. I started to create inane content for the Internet. Upload rubbish and try to annoy netizen. Fool i was, but hey it continue its momentum for about one year before it sink into savage land, hanging at the lonely corner around cyberspace.

I host it at fortunecity.com, in the past it was a big name for web hosting. The idea of it is simple, the essential ingredients illegal operation + free download = cheeky website. Despite the broken english, i still insist that the content is interesting atleast it contains some mp3 download :D Bullshit i can't stop laughing everytime i recall my dumbest creation of all time. Hey its a 3 pages 'website' created using 'webpage' creation wizard still it left a retard imprint on me i can feel it.

Why the hell google still keeping it XD even i myself can't recall the login detail for this. I will remove it whatsoever ground if i can remember the f**king login id. Maybe i should write to fortunecity and ask them to take it off for the sake of cyberspace sanctity.

From the modern perspective of Webpage design. Whats goes wrong.

Cheesy javascript welcome message on homepage.
A fussing welcome message will remind you always welcomed and status bar will have some jaded message that scroll infinitely. I remember almost every less professional website did this... can't blame on me i thought it was norm and i should follow.

Let me count... 10 freaking animated button, background, clipart on a bloody page.
I was young, it was nothing but now i feel dizzy for staying a minute longer. If any senior citizen came across this, i'm so sorry, please forgive me not being understanding. Not to mention it having a marquee scrolling in the header section. Hmm i still seing these thing nowaday...

Talk about marquee, most irritating tag in html ever invented demonstrated.
Behold my friend, a big obtrusive banner that having text scrolling horizontally is freaking everyone from 21st century. For netizen appeared oblivious or unfamiliar to marquee, here's a recap for IE user, other mordern browsers will not able to view it ;)

Old skool marquee text, IE only

Rigorously saying, there's no content.
Thanks to my extremely ridiculous inane mind. The superb engrish i master, it is well written in perfect engrish lol. If i'm not mistaken there's no more than 10 updates. Found this "Latest update at , 23 July 1998" :P

It knows how to pop up!!!
hohoho none of it working now. Firefox block it all kudos to the wonderful pop ups blocker.

The most important part, the most valuable Guestbook.
I've a guestbook feel free to pour shit in it. From early before the blogosphere invented, everyone have commenting fetish and whoring at each other guestbook. Comment system actually inherited from it's predecessor, the divine Guestbook.

Let's revisit and do some demolition!!!
I thought i would still able to access it unfortunately it's dismal free webhost like many other sob sob.

Dude, where is it now?
No i won't publish the link here because that almighty Google bloke will stalk it and try to memorize and caching forever. For all mutual benefits i reluctant to leave a link here, let it begone!

Talk About Cyberjaya LimKokWing Route

2005-12-22T00:00:00.000+08:00

There is a notorious pathway entering Cyberjaya head from Puchong/KL pass by LimKokWing. A mere miles away reaching the heart of Cyberjaya. Passerby gave a name matched to it's geographical condition, called "Dead man curve". The miles long tarmacadam road make up of several unpleasant sharp curve that need extra care when driving along this route.

Over years i've been using and witnesses road accidents happens. The frequent accident that cost casualty make worries for drivers heading to cyberjaya using this pathway. This is the most straight forward route visitor might chose over other alternative.

From my observation, i believe the culprit of this dangerous driveway are rainy weather and palm tree plant along. Despite the weather condition where it is common sense to drive more slower and with cautious in rainy day. More perilous was the palm tree fruit drops onto road and might spill oil thus worsen the wet road condition. This is the reason why the road is more slippery than usual.

Use the correct/alternate path to reach Cyberjaya. It's a straight course but slightly farther than dead man curve. The traffic is not as congest as the usual route, so it would be more enjoyable, it is better way to start the day :) I failed to find a proper map to show you the way, no worry i have mad skill in drawing freehand map inspired by Picasso.

Switch using alternative route! It is much safer.

Hurray holiday is near! Wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The snowman fun spree found from julie the biscuit. Too bad here never snow anyway here the stupid snowman lol i found it's pretty vain idea to make one :D

Merry Christmas to all

Encontró a Short Film

2005-12-10T01:33:00.000+08:00

Begin with small talk
Seems likes RM1 coin is no longer valid for trade in Malaysia, according to news source.

I know it’s late to talk about this, recently my good friend ch lee gave me his latest 23 minutes short movie. Encontró with tagline Find it… before it’s too late. I guess the whole production is relying solely by him, hardness of deliver in a whole really impresses me, and you sure need lotsa passion and ideas to run it.

Yellowish poster cool!

This short movie is about a bloke had a sudden lust to open a locked drawer finding something in urge, thus poking around and started series of search incidents where the funs aroused. The hidden content in that drawer intrigued me at very beginning of the scenes. The short bloke unable to figure out where that damn key was. He is then scrounging around the room, place to hang out, and an Indian barber shop(featuring some friendly villagers) for a missing key.

Surprisingly the hidden subject in the mysterious locked drawer is agitate viewer about a conceal message which bring the sensation of found (I was told that ‘encontró’ is a Spanish word which mean found.) and feels serendipity. Although it’s a hobbyist project still I’m astounded with capabilities of my friend with great interpretation of filming and movie. It was clearly firm skills in script plot with weirdest idea ever. I have a good laugh on that surprising easy to ignore message even though it’s involving money, still not much hint to guess la put more riddle behind the scene ma.

A better mix of background music would be lucrative in bring out harmony stream of the film. Most of the music too melodious of instrument may consider song or even super exaggerate rock music hehehe. Some over reacting move of the actor which intent to show direction and emotion of the subject was pretty ineptitude and should lure attention in a natural manner. I believe nothing is prefect without intersperse of imperfectness.

By the way learnt from several scenes, there is some road named “Jalan Mati” (dead end). It does not mean dead end but it is the name of that road. Probably the town planner ran out of brain juice when try to give a name for a new road, therefore bestowed a strange name. or in other case something fishy happen there lol.

Bandar Baharu means new city?

KWSP E-KIOSK

2005-11-21T22:00:00.000+08:00

In case you still living under a rock, our government department KWSP goes high tech nowadays. They have this gadget, e-kiosk that save people hassle getting a manila card numbering system, queuing for a puny EPF statement.

Recently I intentionally spared a morning paid visit to a not so near KWSP branch. By being a fool for long, I noticed that… I forgot my account number and without bringing any reference.

No way for me to turn around, walk home without a fight, brilliantly I thought of a dismal idea, I left that innocent field blank for several forms that I had. Getting a number and proceed to a long queue, finally my turn. Hand in incomplete forms and got rejected.

I ask for help they said sabar no problem they still have this last resort of secretly developed weapon, e-kiosk. Equip with state-of-the-art Malaysia identity card, mykad simply shove into e-kiosk reader and stick my thumb on the reader Walla the printer throw up an A4 size EPF statement, job done. I like it very much, it really avail the anxious queue up at the branch.

Later back home wandering around and read about e-kiosk also in the KWSP website. I should do some homework before poking around. Our government’s multimillion e-government endeavor finally enjoyable now. Quickly spend sometimes, be it lunch time or tea time go fool around KWSP.

The ColorCode Test

2005-11-03T15:30:00.000+08:00

Not another mundane personality test, I used to ignore them very well. However I did it and its called the color code test, albeit color test it’s title reads, but none of those questions related about your sense in color or choice of pastel. At the very end result gave you an idea what’s your personality color, which they will give explanation on that…

My boss sent it to us and asks to try and reply with the result, well I did overlook it at first but heck I have no choice. Here my reply

Dear boss,

I did take the color test. After answered almost 50 questions I click on the result button, it prompt me javascript error... How disheartening it is, thus I gave up for another try. It is hard to answer faithfully for another round of questions.

By the way, what is color code test about? The result would be predicted color that I like?

I can tell you what my favorite color is. My favorite color always changes from time to time. Let say I like green color now because it is the color of year 2005; back in millennium the color was orange, I was obsess to it and later it replaced too. From the trait of my color picky, can’t say that I have no idea what I like rather to say I am quiet adaptive to environment and trend.

Therefore if you passed by my cubicle one day and found that I was not around, you may be wrong guessing. I may camouflages to adapt cubicle color environment, that’s how adaptive I can be lol. Just kidding.

Regards,
ME

Luckily they store the result...

Congratulations. You are BLUE.

BLUES are motivated by INTIMACY. They seek to genuinely connect with others, and need to be unerstood and appreciated. Everything they do is quality-based. They are loyal friends, employers, and employees. Whatever or whomever they commit to is their sole (and soul) focus. They love to serve and give themselves freely in order to nurture others' lives.

BLUES have distinct preferences and have the most controlling personality. Their personal code of ethics is remarkably strong and they expect others to live honest, committed lives as well. They enjoy meaningful moments in conversation as well as paying close attention to special life events (e.g. birthdays and anniversaries). BLUES are dependable, thoughtful, and analytical; but can also be self-righteous, worry-prone, and moody. They are "sainted pit-bulls" who never let go of something or someone, once they are committed. When you deal with a BLUE, be sincere and make a genuine effort to understand and appreciate them.

Understand that no two BLUES are exactly alike. Although you share the same core motivation as many others, your personality is still unique to you alone.

Maybe you should take the ColorCode test too.

Get con by windows

2005-10-12T16:50:00.000+08:00

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a folder or file anywhere named as "con".

This is something pretty cool and unbelievable.

At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened! Try it out yourself.

I'd try once, twice, thrice and thousands of times, nope no good i cannot get con by windows(M$ Windows XP Pro).

2005-10-10T09:00:00.000+08:00

Finally I spent time changing blogger template, I don’t know why there are so much hassles to position things in few boxes. It still barely passing the Html Validator test (I use Tidy). Hopefully most other browsers could view it, since I have no machine to try on all other fancy browsers.

I make the font size larger to make reading easier without hurting the eye with puny text, and keeps the previous layout style which is the two columns style aka typical blog layout kidding. How can I really master all those tricks for positioning in CSS darn it there are too many glitches and catches?

It’s getting near year end, time to figure out direction for next year. Wish I can sort all those cumbersome without much worry and be happier. Feel like wasted another year in my life not much accomplishment.

But I feel lucky, I’ve got invitation for Wordpress.com account and my Ning account changed to Beta developer status. Silly what is so excited with that?

Back to the template talk, it has taken me few days to change it and I feel worth and not worth of doing this. And initially I’ve another layout to use but it’s not practical coz I have not much control on the whole page so to make things simple, I make use of this simple layout. Let me capture screenshot of the other layout.

It’s too graphical extensive, can’t find proper place to host them, but I found that we actually can post any picture when we create a new post and not using it, so I put them there. This new template should tahan for sometimes before my hands got itchy and change it again.

Go ahead use our code

Everytime I'm so exicted to get something new into the side bar they causing problem :S

Validate your code snippet before asking other to use it.

Maybe it's my obligation to do that...

Approach For Information Retrieving

2005-09-26T21:42:00.000+08:00

For getting frequently access data where need some seamless instant retrieval and result is current, I believe it’s better to acquire from smaller pool of data. Talking about data that seat in table in database, we would like to have table as data store as well as table that design for fast access to latest data.

From what we learn from ping beacon, we could easily bring over it for data retrieval approach. Ping beacon usually uses to store latest set of result and pending for massage process. The solution is instead of querying complete data, which is often vast and might over burden many tiers for search and transfer operations, we query data from fast access data store which design to be small, current and simple.

Beacon function as signal to alert people about threats near by. We adopt the rapid readiness and signaling, take advantage from these traits and realization small and fast data access storage in order to speed up process of accessing main storage.

In example, require to show top 10 newest albums releasing currently. The tradition was select top 10 records for album order by release date descending. Now if we have the data pool that stores only latest 10 records which inserted whenever we create a new record, we only need to select all from it. Not much trick in searching whole table that may consist of millions of records but acquire the latest. This considers design aimed towards application wise.

It's like approach of keeping a short shopping list for glance of view which is much more quickly than squeeze out from brain.

This incurs several cost of implementation. First of all we need extra storage, but that would consider economic way for mass usage since it significantly reduces large index search and processing power.

Whenever we add new record into complete table we would need to insert it into the duplicate temporary storage. Thus the list would growth and we do need to maintain the growing data storage.

The Day Start With Dream

2005-09-11T11:08:00.000+08:00

I have a luminous dream this morning, this is the first time I attempt to record down my dream. It’s been awhile I hadn't dream of anything.

I vividly remember that I’m walking on the street and heading to somewhere. Behind me are high rise concrete buildings, I walk towards the junction and turned to my left and suddenly a huge humming sound coming from my back and I turned back to see what’s happening. Surprise me that it was a rocket which got out of track and flying low height and flew horizontally like a normal airplane flight track which is totally fault for a rocket to do that. That's a rocket not a shuttle, it’s a very tall rocket similar to what China built recently, gorgeous white in color. It goes so wrong out of tracks and follow behind the rocket was three satellite look alike objects which also very big in size. On the street some pedestrian scream but they didn’t run away terrifying by this sudden strike. And everyone continue on their footsteps and I too continue heading to my destination which is the train station. I feel anxious and skeptical about this incident, but I feel that something fishy going to happen next.

I stood on the platform waiting for my train to arrive. This station looks contemporary and it's a roofless design I can see a clear blue sky upward. Crowd on the far end of the platform screaming suddenly and I drag my sight to them and further I can saw object flying towards us. When it become closer I saw what's flying toward here and it’s a long white modern train that having several carriages attached. It fly pass on top of us and continue its momentum and flew further. Before I have time to catch where it crash on there's another train keep on flying towards us which luckily not hitting us, then another and another one, it happen to glide closer and nearer one by one. Lastly, a red color train suddenly nearly slams on us and I can feel the force pushing toward the crowd and luckily it didn't bang on the station. Unfortunately the next white train slamming on the station and everybody are squeeze together and push by the carriage. The people from the far end of platform must be hitting hard by the train and I was at another end of the platform. Both end of the train try to reach each other and cram everyone in a circle formation. I nearly hit by the loco but fortunately it losing momentum when it reaches the end of the platform.

That was catastrophic tragic accident happen on unexpected, everyone so nervous and starting to running no direction and try to get out from the scene, I follow the crowd and run towards exit. I reach my hand phone wanted to call for help surprisingly I receive a message. It was a weird and long email message in html format... and I woke up at that time, an abrupt message ended this horrible dream.

I always dreaming this genre of vision, so I’ve get used to absurd dream. I never have dream of ghost chasing on me which I really want to experience it someday in my dream. Maybe I should try to write another one once I have chance. This is how the day begin, somehow amusing.

Build the Best Paper Airplane

2005-08-20T12:30:00.000+08:00

Alone in home surfing the world wide wait with streamyx, i found this article Build the best paper airplane in the world by Michael O'Reilly. This papercraft air plane title to be the best paper airplane in the world geez without second thought i decided to follow instructions and make one for myself. Believe me it's freaking sophisticate with 35 steps to taken care before the fun spree.

I got stuck on step 16 - 18 and having sometimes to figured out the correct way to replicate it anyway hacking thru finally the junk created, no more, just the only and lonely one, lazy of cause and too exicted wanted to launch it into air and let it glide! hurray.

Paper Aeroplane

Wee little paper aeroplane

Flying a paper aircraft consider tricky maybe same as the real one. Need to make a little bit adjustment here and ther to make it cruise further and smoothly.

Feel rejuvenated when play with it, it's exciting and arousing XD. Holding it gently and launch with soft force, it glide with zephyr and flying forward calmly, woohoo suddenly it trespassing forbidden area my neigbour courtyard, it venture over the fence and slam on the post hence crash into the greenery lawn, end of story, au revoir my lil paper airplane.

Hazardous Air Condition

2005-08-10T17:07:00.000+08:00

Heavy haze cover all over Malaysia. The condition is worsen and air becoming unhealthy position to hazardous level according to some said. The visibilty at Cyberjaya drop to less than 0.8km once going less than 0.5km which pretty scary.

My friends take care and becareful while you're on the road, drive steady and reach your destination safely. And constantly checking visibility index for meteorological stations in Malaysia and the Air Pollutant Index before you start your journey.

It Happens Everyday Everywhere

2005-07-30T13:28:00.000+08:00

Of something you may not notice in everday conversation with friends, family, colleagues and people around you, things came out of your mouth may repeat and therefore become word you tag most of the time.

Lately i dine out with my colleague and we have this interesting games something call 'Quotable quote' there we talk about our daily most used statement/words for each of us. It seems like i'm a man with few words at work. After musing sometimes, it reminded me that i have this words with expression 'Who cares' that frequently used by me.

This sound arrogant and bad attitude imply in my speech, it really happens to me desperately using it for few reasons.

First of all to reply something that i really do not care and i mean it. This is norm and simple as it, no pun implied. Things works better now, i seldom/not have to do that recently. Maybe i started getting more matters to be concerned. Wow i'm glad, this however show that my attitude towards more responsible and cautious manner. Or you may infer that i'm more 'kiasi' than last time XD

If someone brag too much i couldn't withstand and it's nonsense to me, such attention whore. Hey it silly and you looks moronic to me, i'm not give a f**k go wank yourself. Usually first thing to do is ignoring and avoid at all cost, if this is not working react with silent and give irritated face to them. Lastly tell them the truth and how i hate it. Usually express with silent and feel irritated will turn them off, trust me it works.

Sometimes we take count of something too serious in a simple talk and 'who cares' kicks in as handy way to stop bothersome of puny issue that had brought up. This meant for good intention in taking out endless debate. Take it easy we actually know it but had lost control over it.

Lastly this is not that i don't cares about but it nothing to be worried. Needless, which is rubbish. Conversation classified as rubbish talk are boring, regular and may be unintelligent. It's worst than 'hi and bye'

Do you feel excited when someone do this to you?

You are jogging on routine path around the neigbourhood.
Jerk A: sexy, Jogging ah?
Ah-bu-then? escape from bank robbery ar?

***

You bathe your pet dog.
Jerk B: Hey sexy Washing your dog ar?
Blindfold ar? Do i look like doing something else, like washing your dick? Give me a break.

***

You holding wrath on inefficient public transport and patiently waiting for late bus at bus stop.
Jerk King: (I reckon you can guess what s/he will puke out) Waiting bus ar?
No, actually i'm waiting you to annoyed me. Are you satisfied?

***

If above conversation ended there, the whole intention to start a talk ruinned and it's miserable. I may be rigorous on what everybody does every single day for socially interact with each other. Acutally i/we able to react as it's norm for an ice breaking line. Everyone should practice more intelligent or at least some sense of starting line to spice up our life a little bit.
