Game of Thrones Labour's Day Marathon...

noreply@blogger.com (dreckker) — Tue, 03 May 2016 15:14:00 +0000

gotten the Game of Thrones full 5 seasons two weeks back, and have since been watching 1 - 2 episodes everyday till the recent long labour day public holiday weekend... finished season 2 & 3... and it was guuuud...

this series has it all - family, love, romance, brotherhood, loyalty, deception, betrayal, incest, gore, fantasy... and kept me looking forward to watching the next episode every time, causing me to have less sleep every night...

I particularly like Jon Snow (played by Kit Harrington)... & his wilding girl friend Ygritte (played by Rose Leslie)

& whadda ya know... it is confirmed that the two are in a relationship recently in 2016... such a lovely couple...

lame Chinese jokes... this dude is good...

noreply@blogger.com (dreckker) — Wed, 06 Apr 2016 14:39:00 +0000

after getting my diving license in 2012, joined my dive master - Edward, on a dive trip he organised, with 11 other Kuching divers who joined, to Puerte Galera, The Philippines in May 2013...

group shot, as usual, upon arriving The Philippines...

This view welcomed us as we reached the dive resort - BadLadz Adventure Dive Resort...

can online/update Facebook/blog at the common area at the dive resort

Sunset at Puerte Galera... so relaxing, so serene... so peaceful...

for the next four days, it's all about eat, sleep & dive...with super clear water...

swam through some tunnels... everyone had a go... & everyone passed...

everyone had a great time...

noreply@blogger.com (dreckker) — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 10:18:00 +0000

it was in October 2012 when a few close friends encouraged me to get my open water license... and finally I enrolled myself at Borneo SCUBA to attend the course... two weeks passed, and I was going for my first open water dive/test for the license at Sematan with another 3 friends...

pose for a pic before going under for the final test...

of course I passed...
stay tune for my 2013 dive trip at Puerto Galera, The Philippines...

Puerto Galera...

mirror...

noreply@blogger.com (dreckker) — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 04:53:00 +0000

nope, I ain't referring to typical mirrors that retail outlets are selling, but a virtual mirror in everyone's mind, or heart....

I think before any words come out from one's mouth, it should go through this so-called virtual mirror filtration... especially hurtful words towards someone (whether or not the said someone is physically there...).

why...?? because I notice lots of time, when hurtful words such as "idiots", "assholes", "brainless bitch", "so-hais" are thrown by close friends towards another mutual close friends when the targeted person(s) are physically not there to hear it, friends who heard it (in this case, myself) felt weird...

the 1st thing that went thru my mind is... "wtf man.... why wanna say liddat leh...??"

2nd thought: "seriously, ur level just free fall-ed, and I ain't gonna tell u too much stuff from now on... coz if u can say these stuff in front of me, I can be sure that I have been the targeted person when I'm not around..."

3rd "u urself ain't that great a person in the first place... so why don't u look into ur own pee to see ur own reflection (attitude/manner/act) before talking bad about other friend(s)...

IF one can pause awhile, and reflect on the things that they are about to say, as well as think of the consequences after saying it & the damages that might be done and how it would reflect back on him/her self... I think alot of conflicts, hatred and pain can be avoided, and friendships saved...... =))

Online Sports Betting Information is Crucial

noreply@blogger.com (dreckker) — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 09:05:00 +0000

Information is critical nowadays, and it applies to all industries, including that of betting. Without accurate and up-to-date information such as players' injury list, booked players' list, estimated starting line-up, transfer news and recent performance & scoring ratios, it is really difficult to make online sports betting decisions.

Hence, a site providing such useful information is a life saver because punters are able to make more detailed analysis and considerations before making bets. With more information in hand, it enables decision making on whatever bets easier, and avoid the scenario of sustaining losses due to some vital factors and news being overlooked.

Being a major NBA fan, if I were to place bets on any NBA teams, I need to know the current status of the teams to be playing later on, as well as available players, their fitness levels, scoring ratios and winning runs. At sportbettingspot.com, these NBA information is readily available, and allows me to place more confident bets.

Web Hosting - some guidelines

noreply@blogger.com (dreckker) — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 05:45:00 +0000

Before committing to any web hosts, I would first go through a web hosting review, determine whichever web host that offers the best package for different operating system platforms, be it Linux or Windows.

Apart from that, the locality of the web hosting - Europe, North America, Asia, Africa or Australia, is essential in determining access speed and stability. Having a review site rating and recommending the best web hosts by giving out different best awards ranging from "best budget" to "best linux" web hosts is an added bonus.
