Use website or blog to promote your work

Sometimes I have been thinking of share out my work and creation to public so that I can earn some reputation about my work. When Internet not created, people are publish their work and creation in newspapers, magazines, brochure and etc. now with Internet, people can promote their work by using web site or blog. You can create a web site or blogs to publish your work.

This is easier to share work with the world with web site and blogs, and it actually open up to the world market and not only local market. And with linking of web sites and blogs is so important for the SEO, people can simply extend their publicity of their web site by advertise at other’s web site or blogs.

And the cost of promoting works using web site and blogs are cheaper, compare to the traditional way of promoting. You can bid for the place in most famous web site to promote what your work and the click return are very high with more expensive payment.

You can easily find some product online, this is because people are moving to publish their work online nowadays. So, go ahead and register to get one domain for your work and starting to promote it thru your web site or blogs.

Importance of Email

Nowadays, people always using email to communicate with each other around the world, most of people already forget about old method to post thing all over the world.

I think email is very important myth in this world, people can send an email to decide on the venue of the party and also communicate to meet up for the day, and the most important is without alert your boss when you trying to send email for some arrangement with your friends for meet up. It’s quite useful when you are working, the only thing to keep you updated with your friend’s news is email.

Email can sometimes correct evidences of failure as it keep so called black and white when you deal with client about some project.

With technology moving so fast, however people are still using email rather than messenger is because it’s very convenience and quiet when communicate.

Scheduled post publishing

Scheduled post publishing is now live for all the blogger as they only need to put the date and time of the post inside post options. That post will automatically schedule and post by the time you’re entered.

I tried it today after I saw the announcement by blogger, it work for my previous post and actually scheduled and post on time for date and time I entered. This is quite useful and can work out to have more post each day if you have so many things to post in one day. You can schedule it and post it in the next day.

picture I captured for the tested post

But for people like me who don’t have much time to post in blogger will never get use with this features, because not more than 3 posts in one day will be in my mind for the blog. I will keep up my hard work to post more in future and get use to this feature.

Unused things

Still struggling to unpack my thing that moved over from old house, just because I am so busy with old house cleaning and giving back to house owner the original house with same condition when he past to us last time, and some unused stuff need to clean out from store room.

I am actually quite worried when look at the messed up store room, as it maybe will happen to my new house as well. So, for the next few years, I really need to take care on things to buy and make sure is it necessary to keep all the unused stuff?

So, do you face the same problem which full of unused things in our house? Maybe you don’t realize, but you will when moving to new house.

Man Utd thru to Champions League final

I woke up at 2:30 am to watch the match between Man Utd and Barcelona. That was a first live match I watched for champions league. This is because I don’t have astro at my rented house.

When come to 14th minutes, a stunning goal from Paul Scholes gave Manchester United a 1-0 lead and the match ended with same scores means that Man Utd thru to Final in Moscow. After 9 years, Man Utd got themselves a passport to Champions League final.

It been long time we never win Europe silverware, Hope we can win it this year.

Bad Experience!!

Gonna share with all of u guys a very bad experience that I had recently.
I bought 2 items from an electrical shop in ss2, named Legend. I bought an induction cooker and a fridge.

Incident 1
The induction cooker costs me 170 with a “FREE” cooking pot. I tested it at home after buying. The bottom of the pot went burnt right after I put the pot on the cooker, and the mode I chose is “Fry”. I was very upset, so I went back to the shop to ask about it. The salesman told me that the pot is memang bad quality, so I can’t expect more than that. And so they refused to refund me the $$ and was saying that I actually spoilt the pot. After all the talking and argument, my offer to them is that I “pay” for the “FREE” pot and I’ll get the balance back. But the salesman told me that they need time to check for the price of the pot. So I need to wait. They suggested me to go back and wait for their call. So, fine! They’ve promised to call me back in the afternoon, but they DID NOT! Until I called them again the next morning, they told me that the “FREE” pot costs RM30. OK, fine again! I went back to the stupid shop to get my “spoilt” pot and balance of $$ back. Went there and I had to explain the whole thing again to one of the bosses because the salesman is busy entertaining other customers. After another round of explaining, I finally got my RM140 back. Oh ya, and with the spoilt pot.

All I wanted to say is that the service there really sucks. I mean I can understand there will be defect units for all sorts of product. But it is the way they “entertain” me that makes me sick. They tried every way to delay me. Send back to service lah, call to check for the cost lah, normally it takes 3 days lah.. all sorts of excuses. They are just trying to delay your time, so that you feel impatient and leave.

So, stay away from Legend although it is cheap!

Tell you about the fridge later.

Never trust sales person

Referring to the previous post, I already subscribe for ASTRO service and until now they not yet get back to me about the status of my registration. Trying for many times to reach the sales person, but the sales person cannot be reach. The sales booth that I subscribe is actually located at Kelana Jaya Giant.

This added some bad impression about sales person can be found at public place like hypermarket. I think this will be the first and last for any subscriber for any service at any sales booths, they are simply irresponsible and make lots of empty promise during registration.

Really disappointed with people nowadays, I hope every one viewing my post can rethink about commitment during work. And please responsible for your words and really do your best to deliver your service. Life can be peaceful with everyone serious when doing your duty and deliver the best for your company and customer.

Moving to new house

Tomorrow morning, we will move to new house officially. House is almost ready and can move any time by now, but Chinese believe that moving house, we need to pick a nice day for that and also need to do some traditional method when move in.

I am not sure about how true is this, but because of my parents are coming over to do moving with me. So I need to follow the tradition way for moving to new house. It is a true challenge for me to get everything accomplished in this week with all the tools ready for the house moving because I am not so expert in all the method.

Chinese believe that it’s good to bring some good luck when moving to new house and live harmony in the future. So, preparations need to be done for the ceremony in place. I am almost done with the preparation.

Packing is still on going as this will take me another week just because some old stuff needs to clear and move some useful packing to new house. However I need to finish the packing before May because the contract of rental house that we staying will be terminated by end of this month.

This is another new beginning of my life in new house. May all the good luck with us after move to new house.

If you are stay at Malaysia, you should very familiar with ASTRO. ASTRO is the region’s leading cross-media operator with direct-to-home satellite television services in Malaysia. And we staying at Malaysia have no choice than ASTRO because they have been monopolizing the paid television service in Malaysia.

I went to Giant Kelana Jaya for the ASTRO subscription because they are having promotion in Giant. The sales person is quite nice with the promise the ASTRO will install between 3 days. After 3 days of waiting, they still haven’t called me for the installation. So, I went back to Giant and seek for the assistant.

LCD TV’s brand

Brand can play a role when users want to choose for a LCD. Some friends told me that Panasonic have a great vision in LCD technology and they come out with a good LCD TV. Many friends told me that Sharp have a longest history in LCD technology and also produce the best LCD TV in the market.

I also not sure which one is the better brand for the LCD, but some salesman recommend Samsung brand if come to playing game, because they provide game mode for more clear motion view when come to play game. I also confuse with the comments, but I think when come to buying LCD TV, specification also come to the consideration.

Need to really come into the specification of the LCD TV, then only can consider on which brand to go for. For the next 3 days, I need the LCD TV to be in place for my new house. Because of the tight budget, I only go for 32” LCD TV.

payday advance loan

Unplanned finances always happen to our life as we always over spend during month end. In order to solve this unplanned finances problem, sometimes you need extra financial support from bank or money lending company. Recently, I am having house renovation and facing short of financial support and might consider lending some from bank as well. I also went thru some financial support provider as an alternative way to solve my financial shortage.

I came across this web site which provided convenience loan for users. If you looking for more financial support with loan, I fully recommend this web site which provide short term loan to help you pay unplanned finances. For apply on this loan those applicant must have a stable income through employment and throughout the month your income must be at least $1000. Some document to support you for the application might needed when apply for the cash loans.

In order to complete the application, a valid bank account is necessary for deposit of the funds because it will deposit directly into your account without hassle. And these loans are restricted to citizens of the United States only, because of that I am not able to apply for the loan.

I think it’s good to have some party to help you solve the financial problem as short term solution, because some unexpected issue might happen in our life. If you wish to browse more about this loan, please visit easypaydaytoday.com for more details.

Html and css

Lots of people trying to come out with their own web design using html. Let’s start with assuming you understand html and would like to enhance your web site layout with more fancy and beauty display, you should at first learn how to incorporate CSS (cascading style sheets) into your html document.

CSS is using to pre-set your design and come out with a standard template to maintain your whole web site with more consistency and also flexibility to change your layout.
Once you understand the role of html and css you can easily add your own little differences that will truly make the effort your own. I fully recommend to all web site owners who wish to design their web site with more professional and flexible to understand fully how html and css work together.

You might need to take up some reference from the market like e-books, books to learn the basic of the html and css to apply it on your web site. Or maybe you can search thru internet for your reference while designing your web site using html and css.

good and cheap DVD player

I am quite new when it comes to the DVD players. I never bought any of it as I always using my PC to play all the movies. Now when come to new house, I need to DVD player to be installing with my TV.

Some friends recommend me to use some known brand like SONY, PANASONIC etc. but some friends are even prefer to buy unknown brand with sophisticated features which come in cheap price. I am also not sure what is good to consider when come to buy DVD player. The DVD player I am looking for is can allow me to play DVD,DVD-R,DVD-RW, VCD, CD-R/RW, MP3, WMA. I think most of the format in place.

I will try to get some cheap and good DVD player for my house and try first before go for the expensive one. So, I no need to spend more money on it and get the testing period. Hence I will still using my PC to watch some movies.

NON-IT people are lack of computer knowledge

Referring to thestar news paper, stated that KL a cyber zombie city, says US firm. I think main reason KL’s PC has been a target for the illegal spyware is because Malaysian are lack on basic computer knowledge. Most of the computer users in Malaysia are using pirated OS and they simply don’t know that which link will cause them harm with a click away.

Colleague of mine always fall in to trap when surf net, and install some spyware in their PC make their internet access slow and complaint to me, and I got their Internet explorer are full of toolbars and some even with unknown character installed as their IE title. And most of them are not IT people. This can be preventing by block thru firewall, but since management allows surfing net, and the firewall features is not subscribe to use in my company. So, we need to do in manually thru internet setting.

I think some guide line should provide to them when they browsing thru internet and remind them on danger of installing some spyware in their PC. I am doing that starting from this year. Hope can really work out in the near future.

Plumber sucks

I mistakenly hired a bad plumber to install my plum at the lower part of the sink. He ends up finish the job with the water still comes out from the sink.

And He also help me to move the pipe from the side to the middle of the sink, and he need to hack the tiles to move the pipe and the finishing is not bad but tile beside the pipe are crack and he told me if I want to hack out again, he will crack the other 2. I was like stun for a while and tell him never mind. But after last night, we check that the sink is still not fit properly and we decided to call him to come again. And this time I am going to see him doing all the work and comment it immediately about the lack of his work.

I feel really headache nowadays with contractor as they like to delay works and also give some stupid excuse about their stupid work.

Vacuum cleaner

Vacuum cleaner is not a necessity in a house, but if you have a carpet to maintain, I think vacuum cleaner is a need. I am going to research on vacuum cleaner because I need it badly in my new house. This is going to be another headache thing for me to look into it, as I never buy vacuum cleaner before.

Search thru internet and I got the performance of a vacuum cleaner can be measured by airflow, air speed, suction, vacuum, or water lift. All these are consider jargon for me. I think I need to get some one to explain in detail about this. Maybe need some expert advice and provide me a guide to buy vacuum cleaner.

Do you have any recommendations for vacuum cleaner? Please drop a comment on it.

It took me 2 days to clean house

Clean house is not as easy as you think, I spent my weekend in my new house to clean up all the dust and dirty left over. And the house is not really clean yet. I need to mop the house again because after few time of mops, it still look dirty.

Tired!! Tired!! Tired!!

Nowadays very tired with house moving preparations, today vendor is working on the house patching process. Tomorrow will be another vendor coming in for the house painting. The house preparations are taking me sometimes and I have a permanent work to focus in as well.

I am quite tired with the arrangement as we need to meet dateline for end of month. No matter how, we need to move in by end of this month because our rental house contract will be terminate by end of this month. So, quite rush for the house moving. Wiring man taken out so long for finish his work and make our work delayed, and we need to rush for it. Just got the tiles for the piping adjustment purpose and will past to the contractor to do the wall patching of hacked wall for pipe adjustment.

Interesting Facebook's application

I am quite active in Facebook and I found out that people who joint Facebook are very serious about their account. They can react emotionally in their game which they added in Facebook.

And yes I am one of them, I am quite active in Facebook’s fighters’ club application. There are millions of users added this application and play with the fighting. And more than thousand of gang created in that application. Some users even come out with the trick to win their match. Some users can even sleepless because of their fight and wake up at 3am for monitoring their fights.

In order to get more users to support your fights, you might need to add in some gang’s logo at your profile picture and don’t surprise when you find that my profile picture are full of logo.

This morning, I got a message from some unknown users for the challenge, and even stated that I have been beaten his teammate in the past. This really exceed my expectation and really emotional in that game.

You can give a try for fighters’ club and feedback to me about the interesting of Facebook.

Jaring Wireless Broadband sucks

I have been using Jaring Wireless Broadband for more than 1 years as I staying at SS2 Petaling Jaya. I end up telling you all that the Jaring Broadband is Sucks. Nowadays I always bring back Maxis wireless Broadband from company, and I found out that the speed of Maxis broadband is much better than Jaring.

I get this conclusion as I tried it just alone myself using the Broadband without sharing, this is to avoid unfair comparison, and I got the speed is amazingly slow, until you need to wait for 2 minutes for a page to appear. It’s like 56k speed man. Maxis wireless broadband is much better when I access from my house alone as well, even thought it only 384K package.

When I tried online Speedtest to test my Jaring Speed, It actually returned my download speed is 352kb/s and upload speed is 37kb/s. compared to the actual 1Mb/s Package. Sigh~~

So, please reconsider when you want to subscribe for the broadband package. Don’t go for Jaring IF you stay at SS2 Petaling Jaya.

Ching Ming Festival

It’s month of April again and Ching Ming is near, Ching Ming Festival, also known as Tombs Sweeping Festival for chinse, This Festival is to encourage the young to remember their ancestors, and to pay respect to their ancestors.

Normally, we will start worshipping my Grandpa's tomb before the actual day of the festival, I think should be a week before. Then my parent will decide on the date to go for the actual day for praying my grand father. Back to 10 years ago, when I was still studying at my hometown, we always go for the exact date of the festival. This will never happen after we all came out for work at KL and my brother went to Work at Penang.

This year, won’t be able to make it this year because I need to work and still progress with the house moving preparations. Hope can go back for next years.

Instant messengers

Most of the IT people have their instant messenger ID, I am having 3 which is Yahoo, MSN and google talk. Most of the IT Company is encourage their staff to communicate using instant messenger. Keep in touch with friends. Asking friends about some issue facing. But for company which their core business is not IT, it’s very hard for them to allow their staff using instant messengers.

By technology growing from day to day, I am fully agree that company need to let people try using new technology to communicate with their client or colleague. As long as their staff not abuses the usage of the instant messenger, I think instant messenger is a good tool for communication and save money in return.

Too much of chatting might be another issue for company who allow their staff using instant messenger during work. Some company scared their staff will abuse by using instant messenger for just mainly chatting, they will monitoring the chatting from day to day using firewall.

I think the main concern will back to the individual itself as they need to discipline and show the company that they are mature to use instant messenger when working.

VoIP Phone Systems

People nowadays can accept new technologies simply. As many of you may know that VOIP are taking over Conventional Telephones these days. This is very much due to the cheaper charges compared to the conventional telephones charges.

You might be confused with the usage of VOIP, and don’t really know which plan is good to subscribe to when it comes to choosing VOIP services. Don’t worry; I’ve gone thru a web site which provides good solutions for any type of users. Xpender communications might solve your problem fast.

They provide all kinds of VoIP Phone Systems that suite your organization’s needs and they provide free consultation service from their expert.

I think whoever is stuck with the VOIP system function may go thru this web site for more information. Call’s charges are also listed as reference.

IE7 memory Usage is highest for my PC

Recently I found out that my PC are quite slow and sometimes hang, I am surprise with my PC memory usage. IE7 take the highest usage for my pc, no way can a web browser take out the most memory usage for a PC as they are only use for surfing, and my IE7 is without plug-in. It’s clean.

PC's memory usage

Just wonder Microsoft never considering on the memory usage when develop the IE7. I am quite happy with IE7 features but because of the high memory usage, I might switch permanently to Firefox.

Any one is facing the same problem like mine?

Income Tax returns submission

It’s time to declare your income tax again, as normal every year, we need to declare our yearly income and calculate tax need to pay to government or maybe need to take back income tax that over paid for year 2007. Dateline for Individual who work for private or public employer, is 30 April 2008.

What do you mean by Income? For Individual, the income of an employee from an employment includes wages, salary, remuneration, leave pay, fee, commission, bonus, gratuity, perquisite, or allowance (whether such items are paid in money or otherwise) in respect of having or exercising the employment.

I think by this time, individual needs to do the preparation for the tax declare in order to meet the dateline. I am doing it as well. For those who do the tax declare first time, please refer to Inland Revenue Board Malaysia Web site for more info.

Computer Virus and Spyware

Computer viruses and Spyware are a growing threat on the Internet. Millions of virus been develop and release on the Internet nowadays. Many people heard about computer virus but not sure what is the virus look like and how your PC infected. So, I am going to describe and discuss in this post.

They are actually some pop-up ads and ask you to click on it for the authentication for installation. So, don’t simply click on ads that prompt when you browsing thru some web site, especially porn’s site.

I was actually quite shock this morning when I went to see my new house renovation progress. As there is no one there working? I called then vendor, he told me that he get caught in an accident since the first day of wiring work in place and need to repair his car first to continue his work.

He will be in for the work by this coming Monday. I think it’s ok if he continues to work on Monday. But need to really arrange to the paint the house because I am painting myself. In order to make it finish before the kitchen cabinet in place as the kitchen cabinet work started after the design canfirm, I need to really come with the schedule for the painting and also timeline for the wiring work.

He committed that he will finish the work on next Wednesday, it will take another 2 days for the painting if possible. I think I will paint it during weekend and also together with the cleaning work. After that kitchen installation will take place, following by furniture move in.

Hope can make it by end of April or I will homeless. :)

I lost my PDA Phone’s stylus

I am having my PDA phone for less than 2 months. This morning, when I want to write some SMS, I realized that my stylus is actually missing. Damn it. I cannot believe it is missing.

I searching around at my room and never found it, as I remember it still with the phone last night because I used it to write some SMS before went to IKEA for shopping.
Most properly it dropped when I was paying at the cashier, because that was a call from friend.

No choice lo, needs to spend for the stylus as I need it to write SMS. I am going for a shopping again tonight for the stylus at digital mall.

Wiring work in place

Yesterday was first day of renovation, I went and waited for the wiring guy to install extra light and power points. After a confirmation with the wiring man, they started the work by 10:30am.

I actually witnessed how they do the work. My heart is kind of hurt when see them hack my house’s wall. The hacking hole is quite deep, for the air-con piping. Most of the important thing will be the patching part, they need to fill back the hacking. It takes some skill when come to covering part. It needs that person to fill it with care.

I think today they going to hack for the lighting wiring. Hope they can finish the work this week, as I need to paint the house.

Review my posts

I have been actively blog for the past 1 year, and I posted for 224 posts for this blog in total. This month will be the record breaking month for total post in 1 month as it already equal with 31 posts, the highest you can find in September and December 2007.

I think read back is quite interesting and I found out some interesting post that actually remind me on things happen in my life, December 2007, I posted a post name Why is technology important? This is actually a post dedicated to IT idiots and always scolds IT people stupid. In fact, technologies are important in our daily activities.

After the review, I realize that October 2007 and this month, I posted a post with same title Internet line slow vs Internet line slow. This is actually 2 repeat title, just because I never check back the whether having the same name in posts. That’s mean that Internet line slow is a common problem in Malaysia.

I still not yet complete with my compilation of Bangkok trip since I am back from Bangkok!! So, I think next thing to post will be Bangkok Trip. I hope the information that I post soon will be a reference for your all if any of you consider Bangkok as your next trip location.

Ineffective employee

In your life, you might met some Ineffective employee which under you or maybe work together with you. They will cause you to work more and need to help them to finish their project, and at the same time you have to finish yours. This is some of the example I got it from my experience.

Ineffective employees are always missing the dateline and ask you to help in their unfinished work. End up you need to explain why it delayed. However they will never treat it like their fault and complaint about the workload or timeline that given is short. But they never willing to work extra hours to meet the dateline.

No discipline in all area makes that person ineffective in their work. Always went back home earlier, always late, always take medical Leave, and always take emergency leave.
These are the habits that make you ineffective employee. Imagine if you hire some one who always take emergency leave and Medical leave, how can he catch up with the project's movement?

So, be careful when want to hire some one under you. Make sure they are effetive enough in their work.

Moving house preparation

Previously I posted a post name House preparation I stated that we will start renovation work by last week, but it actually delayed to this week. I just went to do some inspection for my new house and verify defect list repair, and I got most of the major defects are done, and I can ask my own contractor come in for the renovation work, I think should be by this Wednesday.

Already asked the wiring counter part and they commit that they will finish the work between a weeks, means that they will get the wiring work done by next Wednesday 2nd April. It will take 2 weeks for kitchen cabinet in place as we already decide with the kitchen cabinet design. So, we still have 1 week time to re paint our house, I think next week we will start to paint our house. And get ready for the kitchen cabinet to be installed after the painting.

Moving house will be started after the kitchen cabinet ready, I think should be around 14th April. Then furniture will be moving in after the grill installed, should be around 19th April. So, according to the schedule stated, we can move to new house by end of April.

Hope every thing can go smooth and on time for the moving.

Are you only working for the money?

I get this statement interesting, lots of people trying to score good in their exam in order to get more stable job and trying to make more money when come to work. Since secondary school, people are aiming to get high score in exam and apply for more professional work like doctor, lawyer, accountant and engineer.

I would like to make comment on this as I found some of the doctor are not really understand the responsibility of being doctor, this is what I see from nowadays people attitude. If you score well in your exam, means that you can be a good doctor? Definitely no. Do you think you can be a good doctor with a highest score in STPM? Definitely no.

Nowadays Doctors are lacking of caring and passion about their work, you are a doctor who receive higher pay because of your professional advice is because you are good in exam and paid for the certificate. When come to patience, and caring you might not in the rank yet. Many doctors think that they deserve that kind of pay because they paid more when they studied to become doctor. This is a wrong mindset, because you are trusted for your service and you must try not to disappoint your client in return.

Doctor must improve your skill and knowledge from day to day, as I see from some cases doctor are usually guessing from the symptom of the patient. And trying from the medication to identify the patient illness, this is not right. When we ask about details, doctor will come back to us with the jargon that we never heard about that, that’s what you suppose to do?

Don’t we have a proper inspection rather than trying from medicine? We are consumer got no right to know what is actually given for my illness? I hope hospital can transparent the procedure and also treatment to the patient, so they can learn from what is actually gone wrong with they health.

Credit Card

You might having lots of Credit Card in your life, but which one is actually benefit you the most? This might be something you don’t really realize. There are many types of credit card offer and you can just subscribe for the service and some are free for life, means that you don’t even need to pay for the annual fees.

Many people feel hard to manage credit card, but I find it easy as I always refer to internet for the charges and also term and condition. There are some sites like creditcardsearchengine.com provide information about Credit Card and categorize it accordingly, there are variety of credit card provided in the web site.

You can find it useful when come to search for particular credit card that fulfill your demand.

Penang Island Hospital Services Sucks

Last weekend, my mom was admitted to Island Hospital for medical treatment. My mom needs to move to isolation room just because according to the doctor, the virus can be spread by air after some diagnose done. We were told that my mom needs to move to the special room, but no exact time informed.

We were there waiting for the whole day for the notice and they never come back with the time, so we thought that they will never do the switching again. So we went out for dinner. When we returned to the hospital, they have actually switched my mom to the special room.

My mom was sleeping when they tried to wake here up. She was blur and shocked. They just out of sudden tell her that she has to move to the special isolation room. And they actually asked my mom to walk herself. My mom forgot to pack her things cos everything was in hurry. Some of them actually make fun of her saying that my mom has got lots of stuffs to pack.

When we were back from dinner, I complained to the sister in charge there that the services provided by Island hospital sucks and improvement strongly needed on the switching room procedure and also nurses' attitude.

We've actually logged a complaint for this case, and the doctor get back to me and I stated that no notice from him. Yes, it's true that he did explain to us about switching room. But actually I am focus on the incident that happened at night, nurses' attitude were really bad and some of the nurses actually did not pay enough patience to patients.

I hope that they can improve their service as soon as possible and come back to me when the improvement plan and explain to me what they plan to improve in return, not to argue with the words that I stated.

I think you might have some bad experience in that as well, feedbacks are welcomed in this post.

Cheap and good Web Hosting

Recently I am looking for a new hosting plan as my existing plan is going to expired soon in July 2008. Still in the process on doing some comparison and survey on hosting plan I should go for.

I am thinking of switching to more cheap hosting plan with more features like unlimited domain hosting. My current hosting plan only allows me to park for 1 domain and even it’s cheap. But not convenience enough for me to add more domain and build more web site. Payment for the web hosting thru paypal is good for me as I got some money and actively in my paypal account. After web hosting consideration and sign up, I will start to plan my ebusiness soon.

Any one very happy with their hosting plan, please drop me some comment or recommendation on what to consider when looking for a hosting plan are welcome in this post.

Hope to hear from you all.

Finally, after a long wait, they approve my blog and now I can take their offer and blog for money. Really happy that I can earn more money from blogging.

I need a break

Weekend was very busy with rushed back to see my mom, and back to KL for new house preparation. I am end up sick today and taking my first MC in this company. This proven that I need a rest as well. My boss will get shock with my MC as this is my first MC under him, he might suspect that I am looking for a new job. hehehe...

I been busy with new project in company and get it to be ready by May or June. I am not too sure whether I am fit for work tomorrow, I feel great to have a break after a busy weekend. After all, I need to get back to work by tomorrow to make sure all the thing is on schedule.

Next week is going to be busier as the house renovation work start soon. So, I need more rest from recover and fully fit in work and my own things.

Internet line slow

Internet line slow seems like a common problem for Malaysian as maybe we are so depending on one provider in broadband service. Nowadays is getting worst with the respond time really lack, some online transaction will just go time out after the requesting time exceed the limits.

What service provider can do to enhance the surfing speed? Maybe this question can prompt to our main broadband provider Telekom. It seems that already few years in the business, but still giving lots of problem in return. Malaysia are so called high technology country but still depending on 2MB speed broadband? I am not sure is this healthy in technology development?

Really hope Telekom can speed up on Broadband speed in order to catch up with other country’s development.

Job Opportunity?

In the past few years, you might meet lots of friends with they always tell you that you are good to work together. And some define you as their best friends and feel happy to work together with you. I hope you don’t treat it seriously as this is only part of conversations to make you trust them and work happily with them.

How many of them really can take their word and offer you some job opportunity? As many of you know that I am looking for an opportunity to enhance my career in other places, because I feel that I need to move on to polish my skill and also knowledge as current work never offered. This is one of my mission in my new year planning.

Since then I been asking around for the job opportunity and most of them are actually never get back to me with the offer. That is where I found this interesting and understand the situation. So, don’t get stuck with the situation, just keep on going and seeking in Job advertiser web site for vacancies. Hope that I can get it before June.

Wish me good luck ya.

big change in Cabinet

8th march 2008, big changes in election already took place in Malaysian’s mind and give hope to Malaysia about the changes will take impact in economy and development in Malaysia. Yesterday news make Malaysia even surprise with the big change in small Cabinet.

Yesterday, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi unveiled a new small Cabinet, dropped senior ministers and brought in 50% new faces, with 16 of the 32 ministers being newcomers. That will be news of the week, and people are looking for the changes take place.

I hope with new faces and new energy in cabinet, Malaysia can moving forward in economy and development. Will see what will happen in the next few years.

Internet banking

Nowadays I seldom go to bank for all kind of transaction, it’s because I already get use to internet banking. I sign up for bank internet banking and make the payment online. And it’s very convenience and no hustle. Online payment can be make anywhere with a click with web browser.

Ever wonder why people are still not trust in internet banking, I think it’s quite save for the transaction as long as you keep the password yourself and not posted your password thru messenger and don’t dispose to other people as this is password.

My uncle used to tell me that actually he don’t really trust in bank about the transaction and not even trust on technology. Until today, he don’t even have ATM card, as he believe that with ATM card, his money is not safe to keep in bank. I think just because he is oldies people with traditional thinking. So, he still enjoy queue up for the cash out with bank book.

I can really say that internet banking is quite safe with latest technology. Old generation really need to learn and accept the changes in the world in order to catch up with the aggressive tech world. Since Internet age are taking over the tranditional way of daily activities, I think people need to accept changes.

Defect list repair

Since last month I was talking about defects list inspection and repair. Ok, let have some clear define in that. I bought a condominium in PJ, which already completed by Jan 2008. Once we got a letter for key collection, it’s actually near Chinese New Year. I am staying at Kedah, I went back to Kedah for Chinese New Year celebration.

Then we got the key by 20 February 2008 and directly we go and finish our inspection for defects. What is actually inspected, main constructor is less resource to make sure 100% perfect on the property built. So, It will finish with some defects that left by main constructor like windows not able to lock properly, door crack and so on. After inspection, you can fill in the form that ready by management office for defect list. After submit, they committed to finish the repair by 28 working days. The process is slow in the sense of they mostly will left out some defects repair.

We submitted our defects list by 25th February 2008. It will be finish by next week. Their rules stated that before defect repaired, they not allow our own constructor come in for house renovation. So, we will only start to build our kitchen cabinet by next week and also wiring for the extra points.
We went to check the defect list repair again this morning, and they stated the inspection and repair already done, but it's actually undone. So, will take another 2 days to finish the work. Hope thay can speed up the progress, and I can start my minor renovation next week.

Kitchen Cabinet Design

Just went to meet cabinet designer, he actually come out with the design for the cabinet. First touch up is look nice, I quite like the designer as he consult in all area of concern for my kitchen build up and give the necessary advice on how to make it useful and nice looking kitchen.

This kitchen cabinet designer is using hand drawing for the design, and come with the measurement for the layout. I think I will follow what ever he advice and look forward for the outcome.

It will take around 2 weeks for the kitchen cabinet ready and build in place. While waiting for the defects repair. I will confirm the cabinet and get it done before 15th April since the moving in date is fixing at the end of April.

I will keep posting more about house renovation and moving house experience in my blog for more reference.

Keep Promise Please

Have you ever tried to believe in someone, but that person keep disappointing you with millions of excuse on hand. I think who ever have experience this before will know how I feel. Maybe you can sound like “Why you so serious? It’s just small matter!” Ok, means that you cannot handle big matter either.

Just giving you one example, you might get some idea on how it looks like. A neighbour of you who have a dog promises you to never let his dog shitting again in front of your house. The next day, you saw dog’s shit left at the favorite spot, immediately you call him for explain. He reflected that He will never do again.

1 week later, the incident happens again. You again talk to him with the same thing. And he promise not to repeat again.. The thing happens continuously for 3 months. What you feel? Will you call a police for that? Will you kill the dog when your neighbor not around?

I think every one have their patience limit. So, I hope everyone who sees this post can keep learning and improving on their witness for not hitting the limit.

gold

Everyone knows that gold's price has increase tremendously from day to day. How high will it hit? It is still unpredictable. Friends of mine are so exited in investing on gold. They keep coming to me and say that I should do some buy-in as well.

So, I have decided to search thru internet for the details. I came across this web site called monex.com. It offers gold investments for over 30 years. The web site itself also provides professional advice in types of gold to invest. I think this is a good web site to refer to if you want to start from scratch in gold investment.

I got some ideas about gold investment after going thru information provided from monex.com. So, what are you waiting for? Do some studies and catch the boost together with me.

PDA phone giving me problem

My PDA phone that I got it from my friend is actually not stable and giving me some unknown problem.

When there are some incoming calls with unknown caller, this will hang with noise come out. And I need to restart the PDA phone by using stylus pen to hit the soft reset button. My friend who is using the same model with mine, actually tells me that there are lots of defect for this device. I am quite shock with the feedback, I think this is not because of the software issue, most common will be hardware issues.

I never give up with trying to solve this problem, already try to hard resetting the device, but still the problem happens. I am seeking for the permanent solution for the problem. Since there is no permanent solution from the handphone shop itself.

Any solution will solve this matter, would really appreciated.

HOPE

It is already the 4th day after election, but the wave of change has just begun. Penang's new government has announced to waive all summonses issued before 11th March 2008. Ofcos, waiving summonses is not the only thing we expect, we expect more policies to improve the state's economy, to develop a better greenery environment and many more.

People used to say that Malaysians are typically very "shy" in giving opposite opinions, but this time we sure deny all these sayings. A healthy country definitely needs stronger opposition voices to ensure the ruling party is performing.

Well, still, we should stay optimistic, and believe in the country. HOPE is what we have, and we do HOPE for a better Malaysia.

Revision control freeware

I am looking for a freeware which will install at server side to control file’s version. Any software will do this for me. My company is not a IT company, they don’t really understand about why we need version control for files in the server.

For those who work in development team, may understand my view of the version control. If you are having small team which only content 2 programmer, you might not having file version problem as they can work closely to resolve this problem.

As my team is growing bigger and I need to keep track on their source code and version. I need to use revision control software to do so. Any one using please send me some comment on this.

Big changes in election

Most of you know that Malaysia just finish their general election. There are lots of changes from the result of general election. Opposition is winning big in this election, this show that Malaysia is ready to take change for their country.

The result is quite shock by opposition as they won 5 states including Selangor, Kedah, Perak and Penang. People are hoping party opposition can do something to improve Malaysia in all area, but I think they need some times to reorganize back what is already left by government.

People are not influence by some sort of threaten, they are accept changes. This is going to be a good move for Malaysia. I hope Malaysia can move on and let the new generation feel safe with the country.

Election

Tomorrow will be general election day for Malaysia, I think tonight will be jam again for North South Highway as people are heading back to their hometown for Voting.

I will go back together to my hometown as well tomorrow morning with my best friend, just to avoid the traffic jam. This year is going to be different to me as this is my first time to vote for my home. I need to go thru lots of consideration to vote for the capable leader. Party with majority vote will win the election.

Cyber war already started for sometimes to get people vote of them, parties are trying to get people trust and vote for them.

I hope Malaysia’s coming election winner can improve all issues in Malaysia in order to bring Malaysia to next level in the global ranking. This is what people want to see.

Privacy

I received a call from Airasia about buying some insurance offered by their company. At first, I am quite ok with their briefing. When come to the last part, I am quite shock with their statement said: “ if you agree with the insurance, we will fax you the plan and we will subscribe for you, therefore we already have your info about credit card and personal details. “

Wow!!! They can keep my credit card info and just submit the form for me without my signature and anything????!!! So, I questioned the operator back about privacy broken issue. What if your company just gives out my info to other company? How can your company keeping my credit card info. Is this legal?

Until today, I still don’t understand why company can keep our credit card info and this is not right. I thought we only use bank to verify all the info. And company should not keep our info at the first hand. Then this will be very dangerous for people like me, always like to use online service. Sigh~~~

Underpaying staff

I think this is the most common thing happen in any firms. And among your friends, you might find lots of them, and not to be surprise that I am one of them.

Lots of companies are trying to invest in Malaysia, and setup some company to function in Malaysia. I got friends from UK, and he told me that Malaysia is actually a good place to setup company, because people are so dedicated to the work. They never argue with the policy and get use to the current situation and most of them are even underpay.

This is true, I gone thru lots of interview. And once the interviewer would like to hire you, they will try to pull down your salary to the minimum of the budget given. What is actually their purpose? For me, I take people base on their experience and their attitude. I managed to hire some staff that really dedicated to the work, just because I am giving them honestly in pay. Company is never question about my judgment when come to give pay to my hire maybe just because they dedicated to work in return.

But how many companies will think the same like me? I think by far the majority of employers are honest and scrupulous, so they will just pay for the minimum pay of the budget given. Sadly I am one of the underpay staff as my boss is acting the same like majority employers that like to giving out minimum pay against budget given.

I hope employers need to recalculate back some important staff’s pay in order to make them stay long in their company.

Tired weekend and more

Last weekend was my busier weekend for household shopping. After 2 days of shopping, we managed to grab some lamp and decoration items for my home. We also get some quotation about curtains, and need to finalize which windows to go for expensive curtain and which window should go for cheap one.

Ikea are having sales for some item, we gone thru lots of idea to setup our house, I think this shopping was worth it as it giving us some idea of setting up my harmony home. The lighting effect of Ikea and

Today I need to meet up with my vendor about the wiring service and need to get a quotation about extra point cost. Any idea on the quoting about housing power point, please drop me a comment.

Shopping Week

Ikea is having sales and we are going to look for furniture and electrical for my new house, Courts are also having big sales by this weekend. Survey is almost done to get the cheapest buy in town. Ikea will be the station for extra items to get my house looks classy.

So, I need to prepare the checklist for my new house. Light shopping is also needed as I will start house renovation by next week. This is going to be busy week ahead. Tomorrow is pack of activity to attend, and need some extra planning for weekend. Hope I can get some return from the busy weekend.

Any one got idea and info about my buy guide, feedback are welcome in this post.

Virtual Server 2005

I am currently working very closely with virtual server 2005. I am going to install Additional linux server in my Window base server. I think this is going to be very challenging task for me as I only have my R&D server to test with, any error come will infect my development server.

I am going thru the documentation and also article to make this task complete with no mistake. I got some experience with Virtual PC but not Virtual server. Hope it be very similar with virtual PC. So, it will ease my work on setting up the server.

Happy Chap Goh Mei

Many people know that today is consider 15th day from the Chinese New Year, all Chinese will celebrate the last day of Chinese New Year tonight, which we called it Chap Goh Mei. Happy Chap Goh Mei!

After a celebration for long weeks, this should be the end of the Chinese New Year. Today is Chinese valentine day as well. So, singles will go out to the nearer liver or sea and toss tangerines. I think this culture is no more happen in Malaysia as government ban It because it spoiled the city's image and rubbish are seen everywhere after the event.

Really curious about this, any one know it’s actually happen soon tonight, please sending me the detail. I might need to tell my Friends to join them. Kekeke…

Any way, happy Chap Goh Mei to every one.

Email accounts

Just wondering how many account you have for yourself. I think most of the IT users are having the same problem with me as I have more than 5 accounts for myself.

Let’s calculate it from here, 2 Yahoo mail, 1 hotmail account, 2 gmail accounts, 1 company’s email account, 1 UM email account and the last one is my hosted domain email account. Wow!! I am having 8 email accounts to manage. I believe you might have more than mine.

Let make this topic interesting, and you might share out your best tool to manage your email accounts. Basically all my personal account I am tracking using messenger. I am having 3 messenger on the run when I on my PC. Which is windows live messenger, yahoo messenger, and also google talk. These messengers will prompt me a notification when new email coming in. So, I don’t have to check every minute for the new message. I prefer using web base client to read my personal email is because these account are having huge data inside. I don’t really prefer to download to my thumb drive.

For company’s email, I am using outlook as this account only in used when I am in the office. I am using thunderbird for 3 others account gmail, UM account and the hosted domain account. I installed the thunderbird application in my portable drive, so that I can read from any pc with the portable drive plug in.

It’s a hustle for maintain the email account for people like me who have a permanent work and also doing some part time job, as we always face some time shortage in check and reply email. What do you think about maintaining email accounts?

Fantastic Man Utd

Man utd thru to the Quarter final of FA Cup with 4-0 sending Arsenal out from the cup. There are major 4 changes made by both team ahead of champions league fixtures in place soon.

Darren Fletcher shine with opportunity given, Fletcher came in as first team for the FA cup tie with scored 2 goals past Arsenal’s defends. I was waiting for him to scored hat trick for Man utd with some chances almost the end of the match.

Credit should give together to Nani as his performance is simply marvelous. He is controlling the midfield with the stable skills, arsenal’s defenders are failed to catch up with his movement and he delivered some interesting performance for the match.

Really enjoyed the match and I hope they can really pick up for EPL title chase by no losing any points with repeat performance like today.

I saw the news about this billboard, it actually a proposal for marriage from David Tan to his girl Friend.Just refers to the girl’s Opinions, and they are quite in love with this kind of proposal. anyaqq said this is the most romantic thing to do right before St. Valentines Day. Heay said the guy is creative.

In fact, He is not creative. From the Sun’s news, billboard is actually his family business.So, to prompt him with this idea is not hard. And this may cost RM40000 for the proposal. Means that if you have this idea, but you are having an only normal living life with not much extra savings and income. It might just your dream for this. So, means that He is rich to do this.

So, girls don’t compare yours as long as your boy friend is really proposed with his heart of love. Just an advise la.. So, you won't get angry with your boy friend loussy proposal mah.

Keyboard Repaired

Yesterday I was having some problem with my laptop's keyboard. I decided to operate my laptop last night, and try out the keyboard cleaning.

I open up the cover and take out the keypad for cleaning, it actually stuck with some small paper inside, I am not sure how the paper stuck in. I was wondering if I send my laptop to service center yesterday, what will happen to my laptop? It depends on luck, if you meet some one really honest with their customer. This will return with free of charge. If not, maybe they will replace a new one with service charge included.

I am sure you think the same with me. So, please try your best to fix it yourself before send to service center.

Keyboard having Problem

I bought my laptop for more than 2 years, now it giving me some keyboard problem. “H” key is not functioning well, and need to press harder to return the “H” word. Sigh ~~

It maybe because of the key’s spring problem, I am not good in hardware repair, I need some advice on that. Trying to figure out how to solve it myself if not I will send to Service center to repair it. Any one facing the same problem like mine, and can share with me how to repair? If there is any please drop me some feedback. I would prefer DIY and repair it myself.

If send to service center, hope it won’t cost me much for repair.

Bought PDA Phone

As I am searching for a PDA Phone, this can be refer to my post that I am searching for the PDA Phone. Today, I back from my hometown with a PDA phone. The model is Dopod 818.

This is an old version phone, I bought it as second hand phone from my friend’s shop. I think it’s good for me to try second hand phone before go for a better one. Because I am not familiar with PDA phone and it’s quite complicated when come to functionality.

Starting to learn how to play around with this phone and upgrade myself with pocket PC software. It’s quite interesting and it really gets my attention to learn the machine back end and also create some application for my personal use.

Chinese New Year

I am just back from my hometown after Chinese New Year celebration, quite tired with the break and I am still in Chinese New Year mood.
I reached KL this morning and straight away come in to work, today is quite quiet in my office as almost all my colleagues are not back yet. Maybe tomorrow only they will come back to work.

Every year, when come to Chinese New Year I will take this chance to meet up with my hometown friends. But this year is a bit difference, I take my break to talk with my mom and hang up with my family. In fact, my friends are all busy with their own family as well.

As I always mention to my mom that this year is going to be good year ahead. I am looking forward for this coming New Year, and wish you all Happy Chinese New Year.

Facebook addiction

Everyone is keep talking about facebook nowadays, facebook is really different with other social networking site, and hence Facebook is a great example of Web 2.0. It allows users to communicating with each other using lots of method. And there are a lots of application can be add on into your profile and also share out to your friends.

I think I am one of person who addicted to the Facebook uselessly. From day to day, I will open up my facebook account and keep updated with my friend’s activities. It’s true that people said that you can know friends from Facebook very closely but never meet them before.

To be great that I still can control my time for facebook actually, my colleague are actually open up his facebook account from day to night. I even receive some message about not to hit them in some application, this is showing that they treat this so seriously. I am quite ok with all the application as I treat this as a game for me to fill my boring time.

One of the Application I really like is fighters’ club, it allow people to pick a fight with friends and see which side have a huge friends with Street credit point will win the match. It comes with tactic that lots of people take last second jump to beat the opponent. This needs lots of friends stand until last second of the fight and jump in for win the match. This is quite interesting, and I am simply like it.

For new users who just join facebook, please don’t get addicted to FAcebook. As you will find yourself stick to the PC from day to night and fighting for level up for some applications.

So, think before join Facebook. Kekeke…

Microsoft acquire Yahoo

I think this been a rumored since last year, but now it’s going to be reality and Microsoft is going to buy Yahoo. Microsoft has made an unsolicited $44.6 billion bid for Yahoo on Friday, 1-Feb-2008. I got this new from Saturday’s The Star paper. CNN posted it on 1st of Feb 2008.

Microsoft seeking to join forces against Google Inc with acquire of Yahoo. Yahoo has been competing with Google since last few years. This time is going to be hard for Google with the joint technology with Microsoft.

With news showing that Google has run into problems with reported fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday that fell a penny a share short of forecasts and the company also announced a slowdown in its revenue growth.
I think in near future, Google will buy more assets to compete with them.

Wireless broadband

Currently Malaysia only has wireless broadband personal package around klang valley area. And their packages are quite cheap compared to others. I am one of the wireless broadband lovers, because it giving a lots of conveniences for people like me who like plug and play gadgets.

In my pervious Post about Do broadband service speeds impact surfing, I waive out some concern about Internet speed. now I am going to discuss the wireless broadband covered area in Malaysia.

Maxis had achieved some extra milestone and having their wireless broadband into some area of Johor and Penang. Just wondering by when we can have a broadband that covered the whole Malaysia? My hometown is one small village at Kedah. Currently we only have wired broadband. I seldom go back to Kedah and my parents know nothing about technology. I am having difficult when gone back to Pokok Sena which I not able to online and VPN into my company and work for them.

I hope some Telco can really work hard to make my dream come true with wireless broadband that access from any area in Malaysia. So, I will have this broadband in my new house.

In the late list

My boss just call me for private meeting, they compile a list for the people who late for last 4 months which mean Nov to Dec 2007. I am in the list as well.
So, he issues me a warning with the management decision as the reason.

I accepted it but did a feedback to him that actually sometimes I worked at midnight if there is any call from Production people. Sometimes I worked from 1AM – 3AM, and I am late to work for just 10 minutes. They also treat me as late comer. I am quite disappointed with the system here. I know late is my problem, but I am not abuse this.

I am consider quite discipline when come to company policies, but this is really one thing that make me crazy when come to punctuality. Because as a supporting team in this company we are work for 24 hours basically and need to on call standby during weekend as well. I think company should set more freedom on start working time if we never abuse it.

This is one of the reasons make me looking forward to a move.

New Year wish

Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year is the most important holiday for Chinese who staying at some where far from their hometown and I am one of them. This will be the important holiday for me as well, and I am going back to celebrate it with my family and hometown friends.

I am working at PJ and my hometown is at a small village located in Kedah, I seldom go back if there is no any long holiday. Yearly is about 5-6 times, my mom can sit down and talk with me but the talking time is not enough to finish a pot of tea. Chinese New year will be the longer holiday for me to chit-chat with my family and friends.

This Chinese New year, I have some mixed feeling. We are still waiting for my mom to recover from her illness. Two days before Chinese New Year will be her last injection for Hepatitis C, recover or not also have to go on with her life. If injection cannot take effect on her virus, she will be live with the Hepatitis C virus. There is no more treatment any more as this is the second time she taking injection.

So, if you ask me what is my New Year wish? There is only one in my mind which wish my mom fully recover from the illness and live happily and I will bring her to travel and experience flight for the first time.

My Laptop

Laptop can be more popular in year 2008, as laptop price as dropping fast and users are considering the conveniences of the moveable personal PC. I am having one as and I upgraded its RAM to 2G at around September 2007

I found out something weird about laptop, laptops usually run on a single main battery or from an external AC/DC adapter which can charge the battery while also supplying power to the computer itself. When I unplug my external AC/DC adapter, the laptop’s performance is lack compared to with AC/DC adapter power. I made another test without AC/DC adapter, and start the Window and perform some hard core task, it take longer time compare to with AC/DC adapter plugged.

I don’t know whether you all facing the same problem with mine. But I tested my friend’s one also facing the same problem, do you laptop have this problem as well??

Microsoft Office

It has been a year after Microsoft launching their new version of Office, but I still can find users who are still stick with the old version in their PC or notebook. Lots of cooperate users are also keen with the old version. Some of my company’s PCs are still using office 2000. Why?

This is because of the memory usage of the application is getting more and more. New version come with more features, this directly will cost the increment of memory usage. Old PC with windows 98 is not suitable with the new version and it has to stick together with the older version of Office. New PC which came with Office 2007 need to convert back to previous version as per request from users with the reason interface is making them sick.

This is what I see from my company. In the other hand, for IT junkies, we need to try every new product that came into our work space. As we need to understand before implementing the version. So, I already get used to the new version. What about you?

Why 23?

My friends who used to ask about my email address, why you put 23 at the back? U created your email when you turned 23? You created your email on 23rd of the month?

I think it’s very hard to guess it correctly why I put 23 at the back. My answer will be very simple: because my name is already taken by the time I choose my email account. Then they will continue to ask “but why 23?” kekeke…

If you are my secondary school friends, you might know why? I used to love basketball, I almost every day went to basketball field and play basketball alone or with my friends from 3PM until 9 PM when I was in secondary school. I was good in basketball as well, and able to reach state level with my hard work and determination.

By my generation, Michael Jordan is the one who impress me the most in basketball. That is why I am putting all my email with number 23. Not to say that I am as good as Jordan, but to put my all time idol in my heart. And once Jordan's skills deteriorated and he left the league for good, then I stopped watching the NBA.

So, don’t ask me again why I put number 23 at the back. That showing you never free to see my blog. Kekeke…

Home status

Back to July when I posted the post finding a place we call home, I and my fiancée already chosen a house and bought it and waiting for the completion of the house. We chosen a condominium for our new house. Basically my house’s construction is already completed , but still waiting for the CF and also house’s Key.

Developer promised us to pass the key by December last year, but it drag to this month and again they fail to commit about the date for the key when we ask them again. Looking at Chinese New year is around the corner, I don’t think they can pass to us by this month. So, we need to wait until after Chinese New year only can get our house key.

Really looking forward to this, and still lots of thing need to be done as house renovation will be taking place in my task list after we got the key. I think still some times to go before we can really enjoy a new life with new environment. Cheers~~~

Slow progress month

Surprisingly this month is going to be my slow progress month for my blogging life. My workload is going to kill me off from blogging. I need to tell my boss that I am going to leave this job because I don't have time to blog more. hehehee.. Just kidding.

I am struggling with the work and now I still in my company to fix some data error that made by end users. As I always mentioned that it’s not easy to be an IT professional in manufacturing environment as users make mistake, you will be the one to solve it on the spot. In return, they will blame the system that limit them from make change of their mistake.

I need to really free my time to start my own things. I don’t even have time to do my Master’s degree thesis, and I have no time to look into the detail about e-business that I plan to start this year, and the worst thing is I don’t even have more time to blog!!

I still haven’t blog about my Bangkok trip. Hai~~~ I need to really work hard for this coming week and compile it out and blog it.

PDA Phone

Currently I am searching for a new mobile phone to replace my old phone which I bought 5 years ago. 5 years ???!!! Yes 5 years ago, the model is Nokia 6800 and still functioning but speaker and keyboard showing some faulty. kakakakaa.. i think most of my friends also get shock when I told them I using my current phone for 5 years.

Previously, I am not very fancy about phone model or phone features, I only need mobile phone to just make calls and receive calls. Maybe some times use it for send some SMS, and sometimes use to access GPRS. This is what i get from my current phone.

But I changed my mind and plan to get a PDA phone, because now I am no more normal mobile phone user. I need a phone can assist me for memorize my appointment, WI-FI enabled will be the top priority for my new phone. I need a phone to capture some picture so that I can blog about it. This should be pat of requirement for my new phone.

This will be my New Year wish, I am going to be fully technology enabled guys after I get my PDA phone.
