Kittens in The Backyard

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

While cleaning up our backyard last weekend, we found these little kittens hiding under some grasses. Luckily we found them on time otherwise they’ll be chopped up by the grass cutter. Here’s a video I uploaded on YouTube: For unfortunate ones who can’t view YouTube, here’s an image. Click on it for larger picture.

When Things Are So Easy… Cursed?

Monday, July 10th, 2006

I just realized that when things get so easy, I get confused and lost. Last Saturday a friend asked me to help in installing one of these at his home: There was an installation CD with SmartWizard®, which Netgear said should be “effortless”. Sure, it should be, and yet I was thinking in low level [...]

Bye Bye Old Friend

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

I have to part with my dear old friend today. It has been around since the year 2000, and we had a lot of very good memories together. It’s a 8x4x32 CD writer priced at more than RM800.00 that time, but I managed to get it for RM550.00 (brand new) from my friend. It was [...]

Another Month with Low Post

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Looks like not so much useful post for May either. I was actually planning to post a few useful geeky articles about things I have managed to hack around at work (i.e. Patching the Linux kernel tree to support Linux Virtual Server + Software Suspend 2). Looks like I have to do those later.

Downside of IT Certification

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

Interesting… The Q1 2006 Hot Technical Skills and Certifications Pay Index, released April 25 by Foote Partners, a New Canaan, Conn., IT compensation and workforce management firm, found that pay premiums for non-certified IT skills grew three times faster than for certified ones in a six-month period spanning 2005-2006. http://www.eweek.com/article2/… The study suggests that there [...]

Hectic April

Monday, April 24th, 2006

April has been a very intense month. Everything at work has turned againts you, and the world is falling apart. I injured my hand since a few weeks ago, and had only went to the doctor today. Don’t know what causes this, but I bet it’s because of carrying the heavy office desks to the [...]

Police on Phone While Driving

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

21-Mar-2006: Back from lunch at McDonalds’ Equine Park. Thanks to Azidin for the capture. Great shot from a moving car! Well, the police officer probably gave himself a ticket when he reached the police station. (Click here or the picture for a larger view) I was quite busy for the last few weeks – my [...]

Ewww! Don’t touch that mouse!

Saturday, February 25th, 2006

Oh sh*t! Thinking that I have to touch computer mice everyday at the office everyday… urgh… need to buy hand disinfectant when I go out this weekend. Computer mouses found in cyber cafes have been ranked as the second most bacteria-infested items in a list of commonly touched objects. The survey, carried out by the [...]

JE is Back?

Oh no… don’t tell me JE is back? If you guys can remember, in 1992 Malaysia had trouble with JE widespread. From The Star Online today: Officials baffled by deaths in Tanah Merah By IAN MCINTYRE KOTA BARU: Health authorities were scrambling to determine the cause of the acute neurological syndrome (DIL) which has killed [...]

Search Results

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

Lately I have been monitoring traffic coming in to this site, particularly the referers. I’m surprised to see how many people reach this site by searching (in Google or Yahoo!) for the word sex, and phrases like aksi ranjang, seks malaysia, rogol, bogel, etc. Although I do welcome traffic and people coming to this site, [...]

Danger! LPG Tank Ahead

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

This photo was taken en-route to work (after lunch) on 26 January 2006 by Azidin. I was driving at that time so we were quite far away from the lorry. I was afraid that the bloody thing will fall on my car if I get too close. I tried to honk the guy and let [...]

999 Emergency Number

Saturday, January 28th, 2006

Last night my neighbor’s house alarm was triggered multiple times. At 4.00am I was concerned on what happened as there’s no one at the house – they went somewhere for Chinese New Year. I called the emergency line 999 to report this, as I don’t dare to check it out myself. Guess what? No answer. [...]

Got Stormpay?

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

I’ve heard about Stormpay for quite a while, but have never interested in taking a peek at it as I thought that it is just another pyramid scheme or fraudulent money making site. Two days ago a friend forwarded me a link to stormpay, and as I was irritated with the spam technique I just [...]

This friendly little guy was knocking at the glass window next to my desk the other day. I managed to take a photo: I don’t know what species it is from
