Hi KaDuSVillian, (if there's anyone left... :) )

First, Happy New Year To All...

2015 gone like wind... that what i love to say. It's been up and down year for me. Tapi mcm every year pun begitu. But few events happened that truly makes 2015 an unforgettable year. I don't know why i am so eager for 2016, mcm bersemangat btul mo buat apa yang mo buat, tpi tidak tercapai. Maybe 2016 will become a more challenging year that 2015. Maybe sa akan berhadapan dengan lebih berat dugaan, cabaran. Not sure how or what the challenge is, but i think i still used the COURAGE to overcome it. Just like 2015.

Mother Nature Revenged

Sabah Earthquake 2015.

I was supposed to go for our yearly company Camp, to be held at one of the hotel/resort in Kundasang, when Sabah was rocks by the devastating eartquake early morning of June 5th 2015. It was a 5.9 or 6.0 magnitude, depending on where you heard/read the news. At the time the earthquake happened, i was taking my shower when i felt the ground move. I was at my home in Penampang when the quake happened. Checking on my phone, more and more message coming in informing that an earthquake just occured, didnt know the full stories i drove to our the office to prepare for my journey to Kundasang. Most office in Kota Kinabalu decided not to continue operating, fears for aftershocks that might crack the building. The Earthquake kills a lot of people, all of them at Mount Kinabalu, where the epicenter of the quake located.
This is my first experience of an earthquake, though i have felt normal earth movement but not at this scale. I would like to say condolence to the family who had lost their love one. It's heartbreaking...

Floods

Might not consider this as an Mother Nature revenged, as the caused of this flooding was the worst management of the drainage and of course, rampant hills cutting in our area. This is the second worst flood in our area (the first was in 2014). Macam suda jadi kebiasaan setiap kali hujan lebat, kompom air naik... kalau setakat jalan raya saja, i can accept, but ni sampai masuk rumah... Lots of things had to be sacrifice (buang) as it is deemed unusable. Just need to continue servicing the drainage, and control the hills cutting activities. Goverment patut mo kasi cepat perjalanan tu projek tebatan banjir, which i see is too slow... Sa x hairan kalau banjir lagi ni tahun masuk rumah, selagi tiada tindakan yang di ambil untuk mo solve ni problem

Cost Of Living on the raise

This issue sa rasa smua urang cakap, di mana saja. Especially on April 2015, where the goverment introduce the GST. Sana sini urang bising, but then they "HAVE TO"/"TERPAKSA" tahan as wheter we like it or not we have to buy the things yang kena GST. The Ringgit performance against the US Dollar make things worst. Kalau dulu RM50 buli beli banyak barang, nowadays, one or two things saja can be bought. Some orang besar cakap, tidak akan affect sebab jumlah dia kecil... Ko sanang cakap sebab gaji ko basar, and most of the things u consumed is subsidised or paling tidak pun ko claim... What about the poor? the unfortunate one? have you think about them? oh... tu Bantuan Rakyat buli tulung... as i said, RM50 only can buy few things... hehehe. Minyak kereta, naik turun, kalau naik sa bising la... kalau turun ok la... tapi problem dia some trader cited the increase of fuel price give them no choice but to raised the goods price... tp tidak pula kasi turun when the fuel price went down... hmmm... Makes be thinks... When all the goods price went up, do the salary when up on par with the current cost of living?

Tragic Event

Suicide/Falling Down?.

On the 31 of December 2015 i was getting ready for the New Year Eve celebration with my family. I received a message from our staff informing me that a body of a man was found dead in front of our office. I directly called to get more information and rushed to the office as this is not a small matter. While driving, in a jam, received numerous call from the staff giving me the information i needed. Arrived at the office compound i saw the body of the guy being carried by a police truck, to be send to the hospital for post mortem. According to the stories i heard, he was dead due to falling from the 9th or 10th floor of the building. It was a tragic end for 2015 as i personally knew this guy. He was working as a security guard at our office and actually a humble guy. I heard stories from the security who knew him, but at this time of writing i can't reveal it as it is still under police investigation. I just want to say Rest In Peace...

My Mentor's Gone

I read in my FB timeline and was shocked when i saw a posting of a friend informing that his father left them in his sleep. He was my former boss, my mentor and a father figure to me. He was responsible for the basic IT knowledge i had in me that i developed into my own skills. He's the reason i followed English Premier League more seriously. I had two spells working under him and i gained knowledge after knowledge. He was one of the most respected man in Donggongon. His favorite team was Nottingham Forest but he always talked good when we chat about my fav team, Manchester United. I still remember he let me off early to let me watch Sabah Team playing at Stadium Penampang. He said, you had to support Sabah, your team, your state. But don't use this as a reason to get off early... Uncle Justin Lai, May your soul rest in peace. Missing you already and thanks for making me who i am today... indeed, Donggongon won't be the same without you...

What's In Store for 2016

I'm entering my 8th Year of employment at my current office. This was the longest i've been in any company. Although its only 8th years i am proud for what i had achieved. I might not be as important as other staff but i will just do my jobs, complete it and contribute where i can... I know i can i just have to believe it.

After my yearly Mount Kinabalu climb in April 2015, i've decided take 1 year off from mount climbing in 2016. Then in June 2015 Eartquake strucked Mount Kinabalu making most of the trail impassable. They manage to fix the trail and according to FB posting, there are new trails, more challenging but the view is excellent. I've decided to cancel my 1 year off, and get ready for any Mount Kinabalu expedition. Kalau ada... The only things that motivate me is the new challenge. I need that. I need to remain fit in 2016. I've lay down my fitness plan for 2016 and i hope im not too lazy to achived that... hehehe

I've abandoned my first love, my DSLR for a year. I'm hoping to return using it this year. Not for monetary purpose but to rekindle the hobby i like the most. Had some few plan for my photography activities, and again, i hope i will not be lazy to do that. Expect to post more photo on my intagram, FB, blog and all social media i registered with. Harap la...

Will Be Continue... (i Hope)

Thank You SIR ALEX! Welcome To Manchester DAVID MOYES

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Sat, 18 May 2013 14:44:00 +0000

In a Season where Man. Utd won the EPL by major points, United fans all over the world were shocked to hear that Sir Alex Ferguson announced his retirement from managing Man. Utd on 8th May 2013. I was shocked. Sia tidak sangka Sir Alex will announce his retirements. I thought he will be immortal, he will managed Man. Utd forever. I thought he will 'never' retired. For me He is Man. Utd! But when i learned that Sir Alex said he had made the decisions since Dec 2012 i had to admit that he had done his best to to get where Man. Utd are now, he in fact succeeded.

I grew up supporting Man. Utd, no other team. I started watching them in 1990, 4 years after SAF took over. I decided that this team will be my team 2 years later. My favorite player that time was Bryan Robson, after it Ryan Giggs until now. 23 years, i witness SAF developing player after player. Some great signing, some not, but majority of his signing had excel in Man. Utd shirts. From Eric Cantona to Mark Hughes, Ince, Steve Bruce, Andrei Kanchelskis, Solkjaer, Cole, Yorke & Sheringham. I never imagine Kleberson and Juan Sebastian Veron wore the Man Utd before. Who could have forgotten the Fergie's Fledglings that responsible for the 'Treble' in 1998-99 season. Developing David Beckham to a world class player, the same way he did to Cristiano Ronaldo. Phew... that's a lot. That's why i said, Manchester United is Sir Alex Ferguson. I've lost words...

I will have to get use to not seeing Sir Alex Ferguson in the stands at Old Trafford or any Stadium in the world.I will miss SAF chewing his bubble gum from start whistle till the end, his face turns red when he is piss-off with the performance of his team, the commentator saying about the 'hairdryer' treatment if the team were behind, keep looking at his watch when the game is at injury time (especially when his team had a slim lead) and the way he argue with the fourth official. I will miss that! Well, SAF will remain at the club as a directors and ambassador. I know he will not ends there. I will hear news about him... i just knew it.

For this i would like to say Thank You Sir Alex! I am proud to support Manchester United because of you!

Welcome David Moyes. When everybody was expecting it will be 'The Special One' Jose Mourinho is about to replaced SAF, Man. Utd announced that it will be David Moyes, i believe after an endorsement from SAF himself. Not to disrespect Mourinho, i think SAF was looking for someone who could develops young player and turn them into world class player, just like what SAF did in his 26 years at Man. Utd. Maybe Moyes is NO SAF or Mourinho. Moyes is Moyes and i believe he will delivers. He might struggle early but believe me, SAF was almost sack in 1990, but look what he did to Man. Utd. Give Moyes time. I also might felt akward seeing it is not SAF coming out from the tunnel but a different manager, but i know i will get used to it...

So Welcome To Manchester David Moyes, The New Manager of Manchester United!!!

Gong Xi Fa Chai! Happy Chinese New Year All

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:29:00 +0000

Might be late, but this is me. hehehe. being busy with everything. Hahahaha.

So just want to wish Happy Chinese New Year to all the reader of this blog. This year is the year of the Snake. As for me, i was born in 1980 and bear the sign of Monkey, Steel Monkey to be exact. So what's in store for me in the year of the Snakes?

Most i read says that i will have a stable year with its ups and downs. Financially, it will be good, but i doubt that because i will be using almost all my savings on my big days. Maybe after that. hehehe.

Works/career wise, they might be a promotion, but looking at how things go at the moment, i don't think it will be this year, but i am confidence of a promotion. Maybe i just need to avoid conflicts with people near me, but not doing things such as "angkat kaki".

Nearing the big day, the zodiac says that i might not have a stable relationship... hmmm. All i read saying that Steel Monkey will be a bit lonely this year. Don't know what that means... But my overall health is good, only need to 'drive carefully' which i will and always do while on the road.

All the above I'll used it as a guidelines on how i will face the year. Never before i 100% adhere to all the advice of my Chinese Zodiac. Merely a guidelines. Try to improve where is my weakness is no 1 priority, the rest, if achieved is a bonus for me.

So, once again i would like to wish a Prosperous Chinese New Year To All readers of KaDuSViLLe.

Currently Listening To: Cakra Khan - Harus Terpisah

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:53:00 +0000

Enjoy, A song by Indonesian Cakra Khan. looking at his name, people might says that he is from India or Pakistan, but he is Indonesian. Not sure if he is related to any Indian's Khan or he is an Indians descendants.

According to Indonesian Wikipedia he was born in Pangandaran, Indonesia on 27 Feb 1992. Harus Terpisah is his first ever single. Enjoy the lyrics and the music video from You Tube.

Harus Terpisah
Cakra Khan

Sendiri, sendiri ku diam, diam dan merenung
Merenungkan jalan yang kan membawaku pergi
Pergi tuk menjauh, menjauh darimu
Darimu yang mulai berhenti, berhenti mencoba
Mencoba bertahan, bertahan untuk terus bersamaku

Ku berlari, kau terdiam, ku menangis, kau tersenyum
Ku berduka, kau bahagia, ku pergi, kau kembali
Ku coba meraih mimpi, kau coba tuk hentikan mimpi
Memang kita takkan menyatu

Bayangkan bayangkan ku hilang, hilang tak kembali
Kembali untuk mempertanyakan lagi cinta
Cintamu yang mungkin, mungkin tak berarti
Berarti untukku rindukan

Ku berlari, kau terdiam, ku menangis, kau tersenyum
Ku berduka, kau bahagia, ku pergi, kau kembali
Ku coba meraih mimpi, kau coba tuk hentikan mimpi
Memang kita takkan menyatu

Kini harusnya kita coba saling melupakan
Lupakan kita pernah bersama

Ku berlari, kau terdiam, ku menangis, kau tersenyum
Ku berduka, kau bahagia, ku pergi, kau kembali
Ku coba meraih mimpi, kau coba tuk hentikan mimpi
Memang kita takkan menyatu

Silent Riot - Rusuhan Tersembunyi (History Sabah)

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:48:00 +0000

A great video by Nadira Ilana regarding the 1986 Riot. It give the details on how the riot happened, what caused it and who was behind it. This video maybe has given a clue of how some of the illegal immigrant entered Sabah. This was the darkest day of Sabah after independent.

I was 6 years old that time, and was in Kindergarten school at St. Francis Convent, Kindergarten. According to my mother, because of this event, my grandmother was very scared and have ask my mum, not to send me to KK school anymore, because she feared things like this could happen again. As a result, i further my primary education at Penampang until i completed my secondary education.

This will remain part of Sabah history. Please share to all Sabahan.

Guessing Game: Malaysia's 13th General Election

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 07:32:00 +0000

Since 2011, byk sudah kana cakap pasal ni. GE13 or PRU13. Everybody was talking about this, be it at the coffee shop, offices, home, and almost everywhere. Sekarang lagi la. Di mana2 saja jumpa pasti akan cakap pasal nie. Most story sia dangar, misti pasal politik, misti pasal pilihanraya. Dia nda kira kaum, agama, umur (yg qualified mengundila) smua pun membicarakan bila tarikh PRU 13. Kalau nda silap, last PRU was held on March 2008. Kalau ikut perlembagaan Malaysia, 1 Term is equivalent to 5 years. Kalau ikut lagi, bulan 3 ni genapla 5 Tahun the current govt bearing office. As far as i know, the parliament akan terbubar secara otomatik apabila itu term sudah habis. So mo tidak mo, the GENERAL ELECTION WILL BE HELD tahun ini juga, 2013.

As said before, since 2011, ramai sudah yang bercerita pasal ni election. Sia tinguk smua parti politik pun all geared up. Derang ready since 2011 lai, since drg jangka yg the election will be held on 2012. Tapi nda juga. Dunno why nda jadi. Maybe ada beberapa isu yg menyebabkan election nda jadi time tu. Sepanjang 2012, there a lot of events unfold and some of it might be the 'key' to Malaysia next General Election. What it is, i guess everybody would have knew about it, so no need for me to say more.

Normal question is being asked by friends around Sabah. "Who will you vote?" Well i cant say at the moment. If the last election i am FIRM with my votes, this time around i am more a fence-sitter. As said before, a lot of events unfold in 2012 with some of it will be the keys for this coming GE. So to answer the question of who will i vote, i will have to say "tunggu dan lihat". I'm taking that approach so that i can evaluate ALL parties move before i made the next move. Some might say that mine is only one vote, and would not make much different in the voting process. My answer is simple. Although i am not as important as many out there, my one vote will be very crucial for all party. My one vote will become a key vote, if there is a draw, tapi mungkin nda la.. Hehehe. But i still say my votes is important as other's.

So, who will we votes will depend on many factors. I can only say that our vote will be very crucial. Thank you

Problems on New MyVi Steering

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:24:00 +0000

On Thursday, my friend inform me about a news from the mainstream TV. Since nowadays, i rarely watch news at mainstream TV (because of too much politics) i don't know about the news. It was inform that all the new MyVi will have to go for a 'special' service to replace a problematic EPS (Electronic Power Steering).

Following is the official press release from Perodua regarding the practise. This press release is copied from Perodua Official Web site (www.perodua.com.my)

Perodua initiates Preventive Measure Campaign for New Myvi
Rawang, 16 Jan: Perodua is initiating a Preventive Measure Campaign call for its 74,000 New Myvi variants produced between March 2011 and March 2012 to replace the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) column of the model.
The exercise is to ensure that owners of the New Myvi enjoy optimum performance of their vehicle.
“We apologise for the inconvenience caused to our customers but this campaign is necessary as the car’s performance may not be at its best and could partially compromise the driver’s response time at low speeds,” Perodua Managing Director, Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said.
He said that based on studies conducted by Perodua, the problem could be detected when the EPS indicator is alight, after which, the driver could feel a slight heaviness at speeds of between 30km/h and 40km/h.
This can be temporarily fixed by switching off the engine and restarting the car.
“However, for a permanent fix and to eliminate any possibility of risk to our customers, we kindly request that an appointment to be made at any of our 170 service centres nationwide for the replacement of the EPS column,” He added.
The car company has already issued notification letters to the affected customers.
Aminar said that after making an appointment at the most convenient service centre, a customer will be given a briefing on the replacement of the EPS column. The exercise will take approximately 80 minutes.
“Perodua will absorb all costs for the replacement of the EPS column; in addition, priority will be given to those affected because here at Perodua, You Matter Most,” he said.
“The campaign time frame is open ended; that being said we encourage our customers to make their appointments as soon as it is convenient for them to ensure that the replacement can be done orderly and smoothly,” Aminar said.

As a one of the many user of the new MyVi, initially i did not notice any problem until one day last year i was driving i notice sounds coming from the steering every time i make a turns. Sometime i also notice my steering became a bit lighter on turn. When i saw this press release by Perodua, i did not see any mention of what the variant of the new MyVi. It could be The New Myvi, Elegence, SE or Extreme (1.5). I dont know whether this problem is connected with the recent press release.

Being advised by friends to go and check at Perodua Centre, just in case. Will wait for my niece to get back to work before she can confirm whether my car is included or not. Untuk keselamatan, mo juga pigi check lah...

Paling bahaya kalau driving jauh, palis palis lah, mo juga check ni kalau sia pun involve.

A lot of resolution i heard, from, want to get married, to get the first RM1Million. Well i hope you will achieved it, whatever your resolution is. As for me, as usual, I'm not putting any resolution for New Year. I only hope i will have a good health and continue my life journey until He says, "Your time is Up". Simple as that.

So, i hope i can start writing here again. I Hope... Misti Mo Disiplin. Hehehe...

so, again, i would like to say, Blessed Christmas everyone, and Happy New Year 2013. Peace & God Bless!!!

Another Win for Man Utd: Man. Utd 4-2 Stoke City

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 16:31:00 +0000

Normal service resume as Man. Utd defeated Stoke City by 4-2 in the EPL game.
All the striker score, which mean we had one of the deadliest strike force in the EPL. Rooney actually score 3 goal, but unfortunately, one was an own goal, that give Stoke a lead in the first half. The Final Score was Man. Utd 4-2 Stoke City. Goals by Rooney (2), Van Persie & Welbeck while Stoke goals came from an own goal by Rooney and Knightly. Oh, Michael Owen made a return to Old Trafford in This Match. Still remember the goal he scored against Man City and his hatrick in the Champions League. Class.

As things stands, Chelse still leads the EPL by 4 points, Man Utd share the same point with Man City but with goal different advantage.

Glory Glory Man Utd

Currently Listening To: Take Over by Mizz Nina feat. Flo Rida

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 01:29:00 +0000

Good Day... i'm blogging after a very long absent... yes, A VERY LONG Absent. Works come up, all of the sudden everything became so and so mess up. I didnt have time to write on my blog. Even have less time to check on my Facebook. Well, given that i have yhe apps install on both my phone still i can't find time to use it. But i still have time to try a new sport in Golf. But that another story. hehehehe...

Well, this time around, i would like to let you, KaDuSVillian to listen to a great song by our very own, Mizz Nina. As some of you might known, Mizz Nina is one of the member of Teh Tarik Crew (not sure still a member or not). She made her name by collaborating with Colby O'Donis in a song What You Waiting For. Now she made a big step, by singing a song featuring American Rapper and singer-songwriter, Flo Rida with Take Over.

This for me is one of the best song i heard in 2011. Catchy tunes, and yes the melody has stuck in my head! I rarely review international song, but this really make me want say something as for me, this song is cool. Well, hope you enjoy listening to this, and i really hope there is more to come from Mizz Nina!

Saying Houston,
We got a little problem, we got a little problem,
I, Imma gonna solve em’
Saying Houston,
We got a little problem, we got a little problem,
Cause Imma gonna rock em’

Enjoy Y'All!

Wonder, bila orang2 Sabah buli buat lagu macam ni and kasi ketengah pigi peringkat antarabangsa! Buli bah kan... sama-sama kita cuba... Mizz Nina Buli, why not us!

my life... do i have one?

Hi KaDuSVillian, sorry for the long update. I actually way too busy with life. Life a an working adult, part-time businessman, part-tike student. Hell, im involve in both district and state level kaamatan committee. Both in Sugandoi competition. For those who dont know what im talking about above, let me explain a bit. Kaamatan is a celebration celebrated by KadazanDusun like me in Sabah. It is a harvest festival where people will celebrate the paddy harvest season. Although nowadays people hv less paddy field, but the spirit to celebrate kaamatan is.still strong among sabahan. This celebration is celebrated every year on the 30-31 OF May every year, with some modern touch in it. The Sugandoi in other and is the singing competition. Its has become a major.part in Kaamatan celebration after the Unduk Ngadau (beauty queen).

Enuff bout that. This waht made me quite busy. Havent have that much precious.time to go and 'play' with my camera. My weekends is fully occupied with studies and weekdays, as usual, with works. Im studying part time but seriously im struggling. I just cant get my hand on what ive been studying. Its a big probem, considering im approaching the crucial time of my life. well, i have to just give it a try. No matter what.

KaDuS Entertainment
This is my baby. This is my passion. The. Local music industry, im running with my friend.under KaDus Entertainment. Im entering the 6th year in KE. And still i dont want it to be a major industry, or even changing it to be a major company in Saah. I just love how KE runs at the.moment. Well, when things getting more successful, they will be people who might thing they can do what they want. Sorry to say, but u r wrong. Although KE meant for everyone, it doesnt means that anybody can do or act on behalf of me. Im still the Founder/Owner of KE. Put that in you dictionary. For people who think that they can do what they wishes is wrong. They way KE runs it business is different than any other company, and i want it to be that way. Even if i have to dig my own money for.that. so if anyone thinking of doing what he/she like, stop it, u giving urself a big trouble. Ehehe

Twitter Activity vs Facebook
Aving dificulty accessing my FB acc for.almost a week. Dunno what have i done wrong, but i think i am.happy with it. i done feel that i 'really' need FB to operate my daily life, although FB has become useful tool nowadays, apart from social networking. Hmm... the words networking says it all. I've been more active in twitter. Set up an account way back in 2007 and only last year become.active again. No wonder more 'newbie' had become.more activethan me. Heehe . As for my FB account, ill try to figure it out this.coming days. Well at the time if writing i've completed 1 week without FB. Haahaha

Earthquake, Tsunami, Nuclear Scare in Japan
On friday, a powerful earthquake hit the coast of Japan. It measure 8.9 on the richter scale and has been billed as the largest quake in record. The effect of the quake, well, tsunami. About 10m high of tsunami hits Japan and reports saying that might be almost 10k people had died.or missing. The nuclear plant at Fukushima also 'having big problem'. And reports i read stated that one of the reactor had explode, and there are radiation leakage in surrounding area. One unofficial reports stated that one of volcano mountain in Japan had exploded. But.this.is.yet to be confirm.

Wat can you see or wrap up above? Dooms Day? The making of 2012? First, condolences to the people of Japan and those.who lost their.love one in this disaster. My prayer and thoughts are.with you. Be Strong.
I learn baout this when looking at the trending topic in twitter on my phone. I quickly went ack to the office.and inform my colleague about.ths, rush to see the news in the computer and the tsuami alarm as been rang in Japan, warningpeople that a tsuami is iminent. It was shockingly scary to see the footage from CNN, BBC and AlJazeera. the wave of tsunami hitting everything in it path. no forces could stop it. I still wondering what had.happen to the one car, who try to reverse back when the tsunami wave almost hits.the roads.

This.is God power.

Well, nothing much to say here. I actually testing on this.new apps i downloaded from Android Market called Blogger-Droid. I actually posted one blog post few days ago using my iPhone but it didnt publish until now, and i remember i've press the "Publish" button, but hey, this is technology... i dont have any idea why it wont post. So rather than trying, turn to my HTC DHD and try to post using thus software... Thus post is hundred percent type from my phone using Blogger-Droid apps, the keyboard while listening to Neon Trees's Animal (love this song). Well so far so good...

There are so many function that i wish to test here. Hopefully i can get it posted on my blog, www.kadusville.net. The typo error is because type too fast that i don't know what character i've typed...hehehe. Lets test this thing!

Inserted a picture. Dont know where it is placed yet as i need to post it before.i can see the placement. Some info about the.pic, it is a black & white scenario of a bus terminal in Donggongon. It was taken from our office gym...

I was actually looking for.the option where i can embbed my fav YouTube vids on this.blog, but so far fail to find.

Overall this apps is good. But i still need to keep on trying to see what i can do about it. I can see my older blog post here and it is easier for.me to see which draft i havent post yet. Hehe. So i think thats it for now.

1st Post of 2011

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 16:56:00 +0000

Hello readers! it's been a while...? while? it's been a very long time lah, easy to say. Over two months of absent. How am i going to catch up? Yeah, blame it on Facebook. hahahaha. nah, i've communicate less in FB nowadays. Only checking incoming message using my phone, and that's it. i guess time is the main issue here. I dont have that much time to write a post in this blog. Should i abandoned this blog? I don't think so. I think i should slowly catch up with the rest. Guess a lot of blogger had already abandoned their blogs and turn into FB. How fast technology change. Still remember i used to be an active chatters in MiRC and stop using it after i started using Yahoo! Messenger. After that i totally forget about MiRC. Does blogging will suffer the same fate as MiRc because of Facebook?

Talking about blogging, i remember one news (local one) headlining a news article about one food critics and a restaurant in KK. I don't think it is a things to mention the name of the blog and also the name of the restaurant involve. Well, i wouldn't risk myself to be sued just because of my posting... hehehehe. The restaurant owner is suing the blogger for a posting allegedly degrading the standard of the restaurant. I never been to the restaurant so i couldn't give my opinion on this. But i only can say that, this might be a remote cases and since the owner of the restaurant, maybe wanted to see how popular is he in the internet, he might stumble upon on Google about this article. Well it happened to me, and i have being warned. I once wrote a post about our organization annual dinner, where i say i am not really into the event where there is a dress code in it. Yeah, it is time wasting to go and find an outfit for one event. Unfortunately my boss the CEO, found the posting while searching in google the rest is history. I learned my lesson. hehehehe.

So, whatever happen to freedom of speech in Malaysia? or should i ask, is there any Freedom of Speech in Malaysia? or even the world...? Well there are... Only that it ask us to used it wisely. Does the blogger used the freedom of speech wisely when he post about the food he taste in that restaurant? For me, yes. He's expressing his opinion. Do the restaurant owner doing the right thing for suing google and the blogger over the posting? Yes, if his business is decline because of the posting. So who could we blame? Who is in the wrong here? Well, for me the only way is to practice a safe blogging. One wrong posting, then be prepare for Police to visit your doorsteps. Honestly i feel pity for the Food Blogger around the state. They might have won the best actor award, for pretending everything is good. Cheer Up pal...

Well this end my post today. Hopefully there will be more post to come... i really hope... Until then, Good Night and have a nice day... oh, I am actually waiting for the Man. Utd Match against Southampton for the FA Cup 4th round... Hopefully they can advance to the next round... Come On MAn. Utd!!! Bye!!!

KaDuSViLLe Domain is Finally up.

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 16:16:00 +0000

The title above says it. Yes, finally i owned my own domain. Well, as long as i keep on paying the renewal fee, the domain name will be mine, and if i stops, others will get it. I've registered KaDuSViLLe.net last Thursday and only today (17 OCT) that i realized it is up after few days of tweaking here and there. I almost gave up, but after thinking that it is a waste of RM30 for purchasing the domain name, i've decided to continue searching for solution. Sayang bah tu RM30. Lama tu buli pakai bikin bili minyak.

Although the domain was up, i still experience some problem reaching it. Not sure about the reader out there, but i still get the OpenDNS "Unable to load page" error message. I don't used OpenDNS IP as my preferred DNS setting. I used it before but i've disabled it for sometime. I am just puzzled up why OpenDNS error comes out occasionally. Macam biskut bah, sekejap ada sekejap teda... hehehe

The page i sometime received when i directly type www.kadusville.net (or kadusville.net) on the address bar

On blogger site, the "dns not setup properly" message still occurred.

I dunnola... i think i've setup everything accordingly. Refer here and there, ends up i slept at almost 4 AM last morning, just to configure this up. I have to use other domain registrar service just to manage my domain, as the one i've register with didn't have the said function. Oh, FYI i've register with Mercumaya, Malaysian local web hosting company. To Mercumaya, If you are reading this, please, please lah... Invenst in upgrading ur sytem, so that we don't have to point our domain to a third party server, just to get it to our blog. Why can't we do it directly. I am started to think that i've made a mistake for choosing Mercumaya as my Domain registrar. I am currently considering to transfer my domain to other domain registrar. How bad... I've decided to temporally point the domain to www.dnsexit.com because it has the option to create a CNAME or Canonical Name. And also i can easily manage my domain name there. The only problem is that dnsExit has recently experience a DDOS Attack or Distributed Denial of Service Attack. I am not sure whether this contribute to the current problem i've experiencing now.

Satu lai problem yg timbul ialah,all my links, that i purposely put on my blog is missing. That link is for my easy reference to visit other blogger's blog, and it is missing. The good things is, i can fill it back, but it has to be done one by obe, and on top of that i don't even have a backup off it. Ada bah sia buat tu nga outdated suda. all the latest links with the latest blogger on it, ilang begitu saja. i have to refer to other blogger to redo my link. Those blog yang i do remember putting it, i will link it back. yang sia nda ingat tu, kasi tau lah blog link kamu, supaya senang sia mo visit blog kamu.

Whatever the problem above, it might be due to my incompetency of setting up my own domain. Well, let this be the lesson for me. I won't learn anything if i don't make a mistake. Now i've made the mistake, and now i know what can or can't i do.

FYI, KaDuSViLLe will be the same. Same content, same stories. Same style of writing, same grammatical error... it is still me... I only change my url, so that it can be easily remembered and refer. Well, lately i've been asked to do a talks about blogging so it would be nice to have a url that is simple to note. I will try to improve this from time to time, but until then, enjoy ur stay at KaDuSViLLe.net ... The Place I Belong

KaDuS Bilang:
Ndada juga setakat ni, it's just that i am really irate regarding how i still can't manage to set this blog URL properly. Well, never give up i said. But if any of you out there yang tau tentang ni masalah, please la bagitau sia... hehehehe... TQ!!!

Another Murder? Whatever happened to the world today...

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 12:06:00 +0000

Blum reda cerita pembunuhan kejam Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya dan 3 orang rakannya, sia dikejutkan lagi dengan satu lagi berita pembunuhan kejam dan kali ini ia berlaku hampir dengan sia. Um, not that near lah, but at the same state and buli sia cakap driving distance, well, it's quite near juga. The disappearance and subsequently murder of Annie John Dismas, a nurse from Kudat was on the lips of everybody especially Sabahan who indeed very shocked because of this case.

I personally don't know her. Although she went to the same University as me. She's taken different courses from me so i might never see her at the campus. She come from Kudat, where i do have a lot of friends from there and few nurses friend from the northern part of Sabah. Her fiance was from Kg. Mahandoi, Penampang, Not far from where i used to live, and i do have a lot of relative residing there. So when i first heard of this story on Saturday (the disappearance) and the finding of a semi-nude bodies inside a drain at Taman Kingfisher, Likas Today (the murder), i could not help myself to ask around just to get the latest news about this.

Semi-Nude? yep... That was what is being written in the news. A lot of you might have an idea on how was the crime committed, rite? No need for me to elaborate more, as this could instill pain for her family and friends who might be reading this. I know it's hard for them to accept this, especially the way she died.

I don't want to speculate the motive of this crime. At this time of writing, i guess police are still investigating this. A lot of 'theory' is buzzing around, especially on the internet, where people express their feeling toward this crime. As i say, speculating is not my main purpose of writing this, i hope that readers would not put their own speculation or theory about this incident.

I've followed the murder case of Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya closely via the internet. That gruesome murder happened because of 'a business deal turn sour' (as quoted by many newspaper). The prosecution team is working very hard to collect evidence to bring the suspect to ~~justice~~ the gallows. How life so easily been taken away just because of that event. Well, this is how a criminals acted. They get what they want and they'll do anything to get it. Even killing.

Back to the late Annie stories. A very dedicated nurse, as per describe by her colleague at the Kudat Hospital, she's enrolled for a Bachelor in Nursing Studies at Open Universities Malaysia (OUM) was was supposed to attend weekend classes there. Such a high hope but ends so quickly because of one ~~human~~ ANIMAL. Ya, animal!!! Why do i call him/her that. Well, God gave us brain to think and act wisely. Tapi ni, think and act foolishly. Sia rasakan ini urang yg buat ni penuh dengan bisikan syaitan di telinga dia. Whether he/she did it purposely or not, it doesn't matter anymore. Annie's gone and gone too soon. Was supposed to get marry next year (according to one of her relative) and yet this animal action kills all what could be a happy day for her. Kepada pembunuh Annie John Dismas, or urang yg kenal ni pembunuh, kali saudara dia ka, yang terbaca ni, read this:

I'M HERE NOT TO JUDGE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE. I'M NO GOD FOR DOING THAT. FURTHERMORE I THINK YOU ARE NOT WORTH TO RECEIVE A JUDGMENT FROM ME. NOT EVEN CONDEMNING YOU... NOT WORTH IT. I HOPE YOU ARE READY TO FACE THE REALITY THAT NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO, SOMEHOW OR SOMEDAY YOU WILL GET CAUGHT! IF NOT IN THIS WORLD, THEN MUST BE IN AFTER WORLD. WELL IF YOU GOT CAUGHT NOW AND BEEN SENTENCE TO DEATH, YOU WILL RECEIVE TWO PUNISHMENT. SO READY LAH KO BINATANG. KO PINYA KEPINTARAN NDA AKAN BANTU KO LAGI... SAMADA KO MEMBUNUH DENGAN NIAT ATAU TIDAK, SMUA URANG AKAN LABEL KO SEBAGAI SEORANG PEMBUNUH!!!

Seeing the way some of her friends express their feeling towards this incident, i could say that Annie John Dismas was a wonderful person. Someone who is so lovable, friendly and caring. It's a loss when Annie John Dismas left their friends and family. I wouldn't want to imagine how they feel because i know this is hurting.To all Annie John Dismas friends and family who might stumble upon this blog, Condolence from the deepest of my heart! Please be patient as this might be God greatest test to you all. Keep on praying for Annie's soul. I will...

KaDuS Bilang:
Cukup lah sia cakap ni... macam banyak uda... ANNIE JOHN DISMAS, although don't know you, i just wish your soul will Rest In Peace. My prayers will go with you. May the perpetrators of this will be revealed soon and we know who did this to you. Rest In Peace...

And Another templates

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 18:28:00 +0000

Whoa! I Finally manage to change my blog template from the old one (can't remember when was the last time i changed it) to this new one...

This was my old blog template. Believe it or not... i found this one is more 'cantik' than the current one. Hmmm... Dunno... I still need to find a template that suits me. Haven't been blogging for quite sometime and i think this is the right time to start over again.. so i decided to change my blog template first. Well since i am soooo sleepy... this is the best i can do... i still need to tweak this template though. My HTML coding skills was rusty, i know... haven't been doing coding or even programming for such a long time, due to some 'mysterious' circumstances... hahahaha.

I need to find or create a very simple template, that is easy for for all of you to read and easy for me to retrieve/check/see whatever lah. Hopefully can do it today, after i come back from a friendly soccer match between the Lojitan Family and the Mojitoh's Family. Hope i will not feel exhausted.

Until then see you all... hehehehe

Was almost cheated... Cheated?

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 08:56:00 +0000

Yesterday was a great day for me to do some shopping. I went to Centre Point to look for a pair of futsal boots. Really need one as my current one is not in good shape anymore. I end up bought two pairs of boots, one is for futsal, and one is for outdoor soccer. But that was not the place i almost cheated. It happened at Mega Long Shopping Mall Donggongon. Sia rasa, when i mention this Shopping Mall, most of you would know why i am saying "almost cheated". Hehehehe

Mega Long (what is the correct spelling of this? MEGALONG or MEGA LONG???) is the latest attraction of Penampang and Donggongon Town. It boost the Longest Shopping mall in Sabah. And for the first time, Giant set it's foot on Penampang. Also this is the first time that a cinema was built in Penampang, All in Mega Long. In megalong you could find a lot of attractive shops and outlet, not forgetting famous fast food chain. uiks, lari topik!!! hahaha. Cukup lah... kalau kamu mo tau, pigi ja sindri..

After coming back from Center Point went straight to Giant as i want to buy something there. On my way to Giant, i was stop by a young girl asking me to write down my name just to "make sure they are doing their job". The dialog lebih kurang macam ni...

Girl: Abang, tulis nama saja. Kami tiada punch card, nanti boss cakap kami nda buat kerja. Untuk rekod saja.
Me: OK. Buli bah kalau ko...

This shop is one of many located inside Mega Long. No need for me to mention their name as i know a lot of you would have guess it. I heard lot's of "fraud" stories regarding this company. Normally i would say no and walk away. But since i want to know what does they mean by fraud or cheat, i give myself a try. She ask me to follow me inside the shop and ask me to fill in the spot & win contest. Antam ja lah... Then she went inside to get i envelope containing the car sticker, and voucher. Kunun2 asia dapat RM200 cash voucher... Buli kunun beli barang sana. Then ada lai satu Vocher, RM100 but this time with gambar. periuk and stove. Trus this girl colleague, a guy come and sit with us. Bermula episod marketing derang.

Come to this young guy surprise (kunun lagi) the RM100 Voucher is (Kunun2) for special customer and i am kunun-kunun the lucky one to receive 2 items worth RM6k ++. Huah... Lucky kan... They even "called" their boss to ask him to further explain to me about the offer. The dialog, lebih kurang di bawah...

Boss: Sia mo minta confirmation yang your voucher ada gambar those two items?
Me: Ya... Voucher harga RM100 with the pic of the two item.
Boss: This is to confirm that you never purchased anything at our shop, or register to any offer from us?
Me: Nda pernah. This is the first time i heard about your company.
Boss: Okay, yang sebenarnya kami randomly put in the voucher inside the envelope. Not even our staff there know about it. Based on the running number, you are lucky enough to become our company ambassador. Di Sabah only a few saja yang dapat ni. You don't need to pay for this two item, as you will get it for free. The company will sponsor you to use it and you will promote this to your neighbour or family member. I'll let my staff explain further...
Me: OK... (dengan stail yang blur2 ni)

The the male staff, explain to me about the offer. the so called company ambassador program and a lot of benefits... bla bla bla & so forth. They even demonstrate to me on how to used the appliance with one flies become victim of their demonstration. Hehehehe... Then the demo, the sweet talk ended. They are back to bussiness. They inform me, in order for me to get two sponsored item, i need to cash in the RM100 voucher and buy any item in the shop. They proposed me one item, priced about RM2988 (whoah!!!) and using the RM100 voucher the new price is RM2888. After failing to convince me, the called their 'boss' and the 'boss' agreed to give me a 'special' price of RM1688 for me to buy the one appliance and get the other two for free. They even ask for my credit card and my atm card, so that they can 'help' if i don't have cash in hand. After almost two hours of negotiating, talking and listening, i had enough. i told them that maybe this is not my luck so let other people get this. I'm off the shop went straight to giant. End of story.

Now i know how it works. They are desperate to sell the product so badly, even have to do something that annoyed other people. Gained the experiences of being tried to buy a thing, i know how it feel, learn some new things, but what i hate the most i totally forgot what i want to buy at Giant, and at this time of writing, i still can't recalled what i want to buy there. This is all because of the so called lucky offer. Kenapa juga sia mo pigi try ah? hahahaha

From my observation, i don't think their main intention is to cheat. but the way they run their marketing strategy makes people thinks they want to cheat. My findings...

1. At first, they just want you to fill in name, even promised won't take long time, even heard they say, "tidak beli pun tidak apa", but ends up listening to their offer after offer.

2. The voucher is priced at RM200 and RM100. The items in the shop is priced within RM2500 to RM5000. Apa lah guna tu voucher tu? Untuk mengaburi mata saja sia rasa.

3. Why do you repeatedly ask for my ATM or my Credit Card (i told them i didn't brings both card), even offer to go to my home, just to swipe it? I think if i have gave them my cards, they might swipe it without my knowledge.

4. They called their boss, but it is like that their 'boss' is just around the corner, maybe sitting at Marybrown eating french fries. Suara tu boss pun macam too good to be a boss... macam colleague dia saja.

More... nanti lah... hehehehe...

Their marketing strategy in my opinion is dead wrong. It seems that they are forcing people to buy their products. I even overheard the other group of promoter saying the same things to the other customer they manage to 'catch'. The words are, "Anda adalah yg bertuah di Megalong ni ari. Urang lain pun tidak bertuah macam anda". Sia salah dangar? what about me...? hmmm... Berapa ramai yang "bertuah" oh? Ramai yang sia dengar nyaris kena, or ada yang uda kena... Kena swipe derang pinya ATM or even Credit Card... Ada cerita sia dengar sampai Tourist kana suru bayar sampai RM15k but not sure dimana or adakah the same company. This way of promoting and marketing should be tweak to suit the people here. Be reasonable... You are not selling cheap children book worth RM20. You are selling appliances ranging from RM2k to RM5k.Not all people have enough money for that.

KaDuS Bilang:
Sia nda blame tu promoter lah... derang tu cuma kerja. Mo earn the commission untuk bayar overdue bills derang. ada yang masi belajar, ada juga yang ada family uda. Just that sia rasa cara derang untuk mo get custumer tu salah. Maybe itulah arahan daripada big boss derang, and they have no other choice but to obey it. Hmmm... Guess derang ingat macam jual buku jak ni... hmmm... It has to be stop... Megalong Management should see it over, to avoid untowards incident. Sia buli tahan... sia buli layan... tapi nda smua urang macam sia... Kalau tekana yang pemanas? buli menjejaskan reputasi tu kompeni and Megalong in whole...

Pandangan sia yang kabur lah...

10+ mistakes Linux newbies make

noreply@blogger.com (markiekadus) — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 02:37:00 +0000

I found this article from ZDNet Website. It was originally posted on TechRepublic website. You may visit this site HERE. I found this topic quite useful especially i am one of many Linux user and a Novell Certified Linux Professional (NCLP). It's been a long time since i used Linux. At office i once have full access on all the Linux installed PC and server, but since this guy, the no-life guy come to our organization, Linux day in the office are gone... Sad...

Some of us might have used linux for whole of their life, maybe some kind of an expert. They might know this and might have "been there". Especially when you are new, and just wanna venture into Linux. You may find this somewhat funny as i did, because i've done almost all the "mistakes". Hehehe...

So lets get on with the article...

10+ (plus) Mistakes Linux Newbie Make
by Jack Wallen

New desktop users can make plenty of mistakes (as can anyone). But knowing which mistakes to avoid, from the start, helps prevent a LOT of frustration. I’ve handled the topic of mistakes new Linux admins make, but never those of desktop users. Here are some of the most common Linux desktop mistakes I see new users make.

1: Assuming they are using Windows

Although this might seem way too obvious, it’s not. The average user has no idea there are even different operating systems to be had. In fact, most average users couldn’t discern Windows XP from Vista from 7 (unless they are certain Windows 7 was “their idea”). Because of this, new users might believe that everything works (or doesn’t work, as the case may be) as it does in Windows. Make your end users aware that they are using a different operating system — and that it works differently.
KaDuS Bilang: Done This... hehehe... try to do some Windows command on Linux platform. Sampai sia pigi cakap ni sistem buruk... hahahaha. Rupanya lain...

2: Trying to make exe files work

Unless you have done your homework and installed WINE, double-clicking those .exe files simply won’t do anything. And when that happens, your end users are going to be upset. I have seen many an end user download an app made for Windows assuming that it will work for Linux. Make it clear to users that Linux, like Windows, will only run applications made for that operating system. This, of course, is tossed out the window when WINE is involved. But new users won’t be using WINE anyway.
KaDuS Bilang: Even try to install Yahoo! Messenger on Linux until i found Meebo. Then i quit trying although there is a YM Version of Linux... huhuhu

3: Choosing the wrong distribution

One of the biggest problems for users is choosing the wrong distribution. Imagine being a new user and selecting Gentoo or Slackware or Fedora! Yes those are all good distributions, but any of them would send a new user running away in fear. If you are in the initial stages of helping a new user out, do yourselves both a favor and choose the distribution carefully. Consider the user’s ability, needs, and hardware before you make that selection. Don’t just jump on board Ubuntu because everyone says you should. A lot of distributions out there are made specifically for new users. Give them all a close examination before making the choice.
KaDuS Bilang: My first Linux Distro was Red Hat (forgot what version was it) and yes i have no idea what it is all about. Since then i've been using Ubuntu (derived from Debian) and SuSe

4: Not finding software

Because so many new Linux users are migrating from Windows, they think software can be had from the same channels. Most of the time, this is not the case. The new user needs to become familiar with their package management tools right away - especially tools like Synaptic, Packagekit, and Ubuntu Software Center. Each of those tools is a mecca of software where users can most likely find all the applications they need.

5: Sending OpenOffice documents to Microsoft Office users in the default format

I see this so often. New Linux users are proud of the strides they have made but dumbfounded (and sometimes turned back to Windows) because the people they share files with can’t read their formats. Remember, Microsoft products are not good at getting along with other operating systems and other applications. Make sure your new users are saving in file formats that are readable by the Microsoft equivalents.
KaDuS Bilang: I always save my documents in M.Office Format (i.e. .doc, .xls) as i know Open Office can Handle it.

6: Avoiding the command line

I can’t, for the life of me, figure out why people completely avoid the command line as if it is the most complex tool there is. I know people who can work absolute magic with Photoshop but can’t seem to type a simple rm command at the command line. Why this is I will never know. New users shouldn’t shy away from the command line. Knowing the command line isn’t essential anymore, but it will make them more capable users.
KaDuS Bilang: I've tried to avoid this during my first time, but i can't because i have trouble findings application that i want to run, or removing a folder or file when i have to forced remove it. hehehe...

7: Giving up too quickly

Here’s another issue I see all too often. After a few hours (or a couple of days) working with Linux, new users will give up for one reason or another. I understand giving up when they realize something simply doesn’t work (such as when they MUST use a proprietary application or file format). But seeing Linux not work under average demands is rare these days. If you see new Linux users getting frustrated, try to give them a little extra guidance. Sometimes getting over that initial hump is the biggest challenge they will face.
KaDuS Bilang: Never Do this. i never quit Linux, although i rarely used it... hehehe

8: Thinking the Windows directory hierarchy translates to Linux

There is no C:\ in Linux. Nor do you use the “\” character. Nor should you use spaces in filenames. These are common mistakes new users make. Trying to map out Windows to Linux, directory for directory, is impossible. You can get as far as C:\ = / and maybe Default User = ~/, but beyond that you’re out of luck. Make sure new users understand that everything starts at / and their most important directory is their home directory (aka ~/ aka /home/USERNAME/).
KaDuS Bilang: First question sia dulu, "MANA C Drive?" hehehe... Until i use Ubuntu (or any other KDE Linux) where i can mount C (or any Drive) and use it like windows. heheheh

9: Skipping updates

I have been burned with Windows updates many times. Need I bother mentioning the update from Explorer 7 to Explorer 8? Very rarely has a Linux update fubar’d a system of mine. In fact, I can’t remember the last time it has. So I am always up to date on my systems… and with good reason. Those updates bring new security patches and features to software and should be applied. Having an installation with a security hole is not what your users need, especially on a machine that houses important information.
KaDuS Bilang: On top of that it will take a very looong time to update Linux if you haven't update for a long time and making you much frustrated. Hehehe

10: Logging in as root

I really shouldn’t have to say this. But just in case, be sure to tell your users DON’T LOG IN AS ROOT! But… just in case they must… DON’T LOG IN AS ROOT! Instead, have them open up a terminal window and either “su” to root or use “sudo”. And just in case you didn’t hear me the first time, DON’T LOG IN AS ROOT!
KaDuS Bilang: Never do this. Once i was explained about this i never login as root until i really confident and know what am i doing.

11: Losing windows to the pager

The pager is one of the handiest features of the Linux desktops. But over and over, I’ve seen that new users don’t quite understand what the pager is for and what it does. Because of this, they will “lose” their windows from the desktop. Where did it go? It was there a moment ago! I guess it crashed. No. More than likely, they moved it to another desktop. Another desktop? You see where this is going? Help the new user understand what the pager is and how useful it can be.
KaDuS Bilang: This can be quite confusing if nobody explain to me before...

12: Ignoring security because it’s Linux

A big part of me still wants to boast and say, “In the 12 years I have used Linux, I have never once had a virus or worm or been hacked.” Although that is true, it doesn’t mean I should ignore security. I have witnessed the effects of a rootkit on a Linux machine. They aren’t pretty and data will be lost. Tell your users that they can’t ignore security just because they’re using Linux. Security is crucial, regardless of the OS.
KaDuS Bilang: Yup... this is true. I know that virus/worm infection on Linux machine is rare, but once infected, it will effect in a long time. Lucky me, i never encounter this. Hehehehe
