Just can't believe that this was why i got very hyped to get involved in this unique , full of challenges, i can call costly & really can give you the best feeling you had ever had watching your plants grow....

Ok..back to those contestants. Here are the recap ot the winners for 2009.

Well...thats it for 2009..a bit late but a good history to remember & for me to keep me going to work harder to achieve more in this hobby.

As for year 2010...Malaysia didn't perform very well, maybe because of the fact that everybody have quite the same theme & styles....so.. new ideas coming out in a year time.... was quite challenging...anyway...got good news for the year 2011...will update the result in another post soon.

The Evolution Of Ipad & Why They're Created

2012-02-19T05:27:00.001-08:00

First, during our childhood we need something to scribble on..and yet mobile..
So they created this...

Then we need it to be smaller , more mobile & practical..for daily business use...
So, they created PDA...

But this guy demanded more!!!!A gadget that not only can be used as business use but also for entertainment...
This was how people get the idea to pack in business use & entertainment..because of this guy...

That's how they put in business functions & entertainment into one gadget which offers practicality & mobility...

Ipad....

Wish that i could get one....

Aquascaping

2012-02-19T05:06:00.000-08:00

What is aquascaping? What i understand is you make landscaping inside water @ aquarium...
My simple definition...

Now..this was inspired from a Private clinic in Sungai Buloh ,Putra Medical Centre (PMC) that had a nice natural tank setup.

Now...from there i started to do 'research' on how to create aquascape.

Some of my aquascaping works.
From the start & they evolved ...

My first aquascape in a 2 1/2 footer tank with just a water pump & filter...cheapo & most basic filtering system.
The lighting even a cheap UV light...For a first timer i guess..

Then came this...in a 1 footer square tank...

Remake of the old 2 1/2 footer..

Sad story happened to this tank...the co2 regulator got loosed...all my fished got choked my too much co2...sad day...

Next..another remake of the 2 1/2 footer tank.This one..only the process..the full picture i can't recall where i put the photos..well..just for sharing..

While i remake the 2 1/2 footer...im maintaining the 1 feet & 1 feet square tank below the bigger one..
Should have snap some photo of those two..

Now this was the remake of the 1 feet tank...

In a 1 footer tank...just a small setup with basic needs..

And this was my last tank before i scrap them all...
My last workmanship..the 2 footer...

Some close ups...

Overall view...

Now..this tank cost me RM1.7K for all the stuff....high maintenance...at last..scrap them all.

Well i guess that's all for the history of my aquascaping work..maybe can setup another tank next time...

My First Mod (PC Case)

2012-02-19T03:29:00.000-08:00

This was my first PC Case mod. Inspired by this uncle from Penang, Taufik aka. Bombman (Lyn Forum).
He was my sifu & supplier of most of my materials & tools.
And a kid Sherren Lee (Lyn Forum) who was merely 14 years old when we met & he showed me his work...damm...
Not forgetting Lohwenli & Pmmonkey (Lyn Forum) ...little group with high dreams...

This was my dream case...

Damm nice...with all those acrylics..but can't imagine how much effort to cut them smoothly & bend those 3mm thick acrylics...so high hopes left behind since i can't afford to get the right tools to do it.

Anyhow, my target was still there...yeah..and this was the outcome..

My tool:

And the help of my dad...

I called it THE MEAN RED MACHINE..hahahaha

Maybe next time i'll come back again with a new theme...
For the time being..just stick to this...

I just can't imagine what happened to Friendster.com....all my saved pictures of the process are gone..not to say in my own storage..My hardisk kaputtt...sayang...

A Legend's Last Moment

2012-02-19T02:05:00.000-08:00

A Legend that will last forever in history of football..

I nearly shed tears when watching the last moment of the video...he was and is a legend..

A little bit of his profile :

(born Sept. 22, 1976, Itaguai, Braz.) Brazilian football (soccer) player, who led Brazil to a World Cup title in 2002 and who received three Player of the Year awards (1996–97, 2002) from the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
Ronaldo grew up in the poor Rio de Janeiro suburb of Bento Ribeiro. He began playing football as a junior for the neighbourhood Social Ramos Club at age 12 and two years later joined So Cristóvo in the Carioca League. By 1992 he was playing in the Brazilian championship for Cruzeiro. He was a member of Brazil's under-17 South American championship team in 1991 before joining the national side in 1994.
Ronaldo was transferred in 1994 from Cruzeiro to PSV Eindhoven of the Netherlands, where he scored 55 goals in 56 games and won the 1995 league championship and the 1996 Dutch Cup. After switching to FC Barcelona of Spain for the 1996–97 season, he scored 34 goals in 37 appearances and helped his team capture the Spanish Super Cup. Because of his success, Ronaldo was paid $27 million by Inter Milan to play for the Italian club in 1997, a record at the time. At Inter his excellent dribbling skills and knack for scoring goals earned him the nickname “Il Fenomeno.” In 1997 Ronaldo became the first player to win FIFA's Player of the Year award two years in a row. In 1999, however, he suffered a serious knee injury that left him unable to play for almost two years.
Dismissing concerns that his career was over, Ronaldo returned to competitive play in 2001. At the 2002 World Cup he scored eight goals to earn the Golden Shoe award as the tournament's top scorer and helped Brazil win its fifth World Cup championship. He then announced that he was leaving Inter for Real Madrid of Spain. After much wrangling, Real agreed to pay a transfer fee of about $46.3 million. In 2002 Ronaldo was named both FIFA Player of the Year and European Footballer of the Year (an award he also had received in 1997). At the 2006 World Cup he scored three goals to bring his career total at the tournament to a record-setting 15.
While playing for the Italian powerhouse AC Milan in 2008, Ronaldo ruptured a tendon in his left knee—the same type of injury that had occurred in his right knee in 1999—which some thought would put his career in jeopardy. In December 2008 a fully recovered Ronaldo signed with the Corinthians in So Paulo. However, he continued to be plagued by a number of other, less significant, leg injuries during his tenure with the Corinthians, as well as by a thyroid condition that made him gain weight, and he abruptly retired from the sport in February 2011.

Something That I wish To Do

2012-02-19T01:56:00.000-08:00

A video for my Wife...I would like to do this someday..,hehehe

You'll Never Know Who is Sharing Your Wifi

2012-02-19T00:08:00.000-08:00

Do you know that to hack into your WIFI is as easy as ABC? But obviously there are still step D-Z though...
But if you're unaware of the fact that anybody with WIFI adapter can get your KEY pretty easily, then you should take a more drastic measure to change your network security setting.

The worst case is when you have those shared files of yours, or you would like to have sharing network for easy file transfers....then everything will be visible when somebody gets through your wifi...

UUUUUWAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

I'm not gonna tell you how to get or to crack other people's WIFI but rather to guide you on how to save yourself from losing your monthly Data Limit or bandwidth.
If you want to learn for the sake of education....without being a jerk..can google for the tutorials..there're many ways for you to get through others wifi. Please note that this is illegal in some countries or in Malaysia it may not be illegal but... have integrity..

Ok.But first to save yourself, you need to understand few basic terms.I called them basic cause this is the least that i know..haha...cause i'm still in the process of learning some extra delicate networking stuff.

ESSID - your wireless network name displayed. Exp : oliver-Wifi
WEP - Type of security / the way you set your Wifi KEY/PASSWORD.
WAP - Another type of security
Router - i believe most of us are familiar with this. Its the gadget that will produce the Wifi signal. Exp : Linksys

When you know these 4 basic things...then to learn how to operate them...you'll never have the fear that somebody are actually sharing your Wifi.

STEP :

1. ESSID - Somebody have already you password...and you may not know how to change your password...the easiest way is to trick the hacker by keep on changing your ESSID..if today he/she might have your password for Oliver-Wifi...but when you changed your ESSID to Goku-Wifi..haha..he'll be looking for Oliver-Wifi signal but...not there already!!!!so they will take some time to figure out which wifi signal is yours..for them to apply the password that they already have.

2. WEP - This is usually the basic security measure being used or most if the time its the default setting. Please note that to be able to crack your KEY...these hackers will look for signal with WEP-key. Ya..the easiest security system to crack.
So how?If this already the default security system...so i'm open for hackers!!!!!!!

This comes to step no :

3. WAP - in the security system there are actually 2 types. First of all, the WEP (that had already made you frustrated) and the second one is WAP. USE WAP. Yes.This is a more complex type of security.Set you KEY using WAP and not WEP.( Althrough WAP still can be cracked, but only a few will have the patience to do so..) Can use the same password that you used for your WEP. Doesn;t matter. You can choose from these two options when you set your password in your.........

This brings to step no:\

4. Router - GET TO KNOW YOUR ROUTER & HOW TO PLAY WITH THEM. You can get all the info or steps from your manual provided with your router or ask your internet provider for guidance especially they came to install your internet. This little gadget has it all. To change your WEP to WAP..you'll need to go into your router to change the setting. i'm not going to show how to get into it, but you can google for the tutorials.

Please note that, when a person can get into your wifi...i would assume that they even can get into your router by entering default ID & PASSWORD for your router.Most of the time, your internet provider will not tweak the ID or password for your router which they will leave it to default. Anybody can know the default ID & PASSWORD for you router. Just Google the model and wallla!!! . So...if he/she plays with the settings...then it can ruin your networking..The safe way is..change your ID & PASSWORD. Then again, you need to know your router.

Well....there you are...few easy steps to counter the problem of people stealing your WIFI signal. Maybe not as easy to crack them.Hehe....

Not you can feel relief...

FFFFUUUUUUUHHHHH.....

Like i said.....YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHO IS SHARING YOUR WIFI.

Who Has The Highest Erection Now!!!! (Tower)

2012-02-18T22:52:00.000-08:00

Haji Ibrahim Nehramli, president of the Avesta Group of Companies, promises that the Azerbaijan Tower, as the project is being called, would rise 1,050 meters with 189 floors to dwarf both the Burj Khalifa (by 220 meters or 722 feet) and the Kingdom Tower currently planned for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (by 50 meters or 164 feet). That’s not all. The Avesta Group will be planting their tower on an artificial island in the Caspian Sea, at the foot of virginal beaches and crystalline waters .

Construction on the Azerbaijan Tower is set to break ground in 2015 and will continue onto completion in 2018-2019 at a cost of $2 billion. And like all of the city’s other structures, the tower has been designed to withstand up to a 9.0 magnitude quake. The Khazar Islands are scheduled to be ready by 2022.

This is a damm rich country.....how about spending more to help the unfortunate...share your kingdom i guess..hehe

SOS : Architizer

2012-02-18T22:32:00.000-08:00

Okay...first of all i would like to introduce to many who might not know what this words represent :

A R C H I T E C T U R E

Architecture

The art and science of design and erecting buildings and other physical structures.
The practice of an architect, where architecture means to offer or render professional services in connection with the design and construction of a building, or group of buildings and the space within the site surrounding the buildings, that have as their principal purpose human occupancy or use

SOS : wikipedia

I just couldn't understand why....in most cases when people asked me the typical question :

Ey...what you do for living? What is your occupation? Kerja apa?

When i answered : ARCHITECT....

...............................................................................????????????????????????????????????????????????
Next question they will ask : what do u do? u buat apa?

Duhhhh......
architect : Erm....i design & make sure buildings are constructed accordingly...
Layman : Ou....i thought buildings are MADE by engineers...saya ingat enginner yg buat bangunan..

Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!How come?????

I thought this profession is well known throughout the world!!!Internationally!!!Globally!!!

But still, when i had a chat with security guards who guard sample houses, and most of them are foreigners, don't be surprise if they will have the same reaction....Telling them that you designed the building only make them wonder that you only choose the color scheme, door design & windows... They will have the idea that engineers build that building.

I'm don't blame the engineers for this.I even would like to thank them for all the hard work & support as team members to make projects a reality , structurally sound, mechanically & electrically functioning & most of all SAVE for dwelling..

BTW...a good job for all the consultants...
