I have always been a fan of Crocs shoes because of their lightness, durability and the airy design. As someone who suffers from athlete’s foot since the teen years, airy means better air circulation and dryer feet. Back in 2009 or 2010 we went to a Crocs warehouse sale in Ikano Power Center in Damansara. [...]

Since January 2010, the state of Selangor where I live imposed a new campaign where no plastic bags will be provided in retail transactions. Note that it’s a campaign and not a law. While I am in agreement that we need to do something about the pollution and improving the environment, I think this campaign [...]

Late Friday afternoon, tired from the week’s work, I encountered this on the road. Approaching a crossroad with traffic lights, it turned red for those going straight. From behind, there’s this Proton Iswara swerving dangerously to the right taking the right lane for vehicles turning right. Fine. Detecting that there’s a car on that lane, [...]

“Tak Nak“, literally translated to “Don’t Want” is a tag line for Malaysia’s anti smoking campaign. In true sense it means “Say No To Smoking”. It’s a collaboration between the Government and a few other organizations. I was lucky enough to have some time to recently visit the National Zoo of Malaysia (locally known as [...]

If you are a UniFi subscriber, and live in the Puchong (plus Damansara reported by achmatibrahim via Twitter) area you might have already been aware of the downtime since yesterday afternoon (8 December 2010). At the moment I am writing this post, it has been more than 12 hours. TM is not actively informing users [...]

That’s what an Editor of the Cooks Source magazine told a writer when she called about the magazine taking her 5-year old article and publishing it in the magazine. If that’s true this blog wouldn’t have been taken down by GoDaddy a few months back because one of the sister blogs hosted in the same [...]

I received a call just about 10 minutes ago, from an automated recording system. Dear customer, you have eight thousand of outstanding amount in the system. Please remit your payment immediately. Press 0 to talk to our customer service So I did. For the record I never had any relationship with this bank for anything. [...]

iPhone 4 has just been launched in Malaysia, and I have also been closely following the progress. Looking at SoyaCincau’s comparison between Maxis and DiGi, I was attempting to load DiGi’s page again. I have done this before. Instead of talking about iPhone 4 itself, I am going to see why the page is showing [...]

I had to transfer 2 WordPress blogs to another hosting provider last night, as the free one is going to expire today. It should be as easy as: Transfer the files Transfer the database Change DNS servers in registry to the new DNS servers Configure the new hosting location In a few hours after the [...]

If you’re one of the SysAdmins working for Maxis, and you celebrated the recent System Administrator’s Appreciation day, you should really think about your future. SysAdmins are supposed to make people life’s easier, not the other way round. Maxis has been implementing transparent proxy for some time now, I think to save on bandwidth usage [...]

MAJALAH “SAJI” CURI GAMBAR KEK MAT GEBU!!.. The thing I hate next to bad service is plagiarism. The title above stole my attention, and since it was posted on June 27, the magazine has not responded. Sorry folks, the link is in Malay. The “Saji” magazine is a food magazine published by Utusan Karya Sdn. [...]

I was trying to post 3 used items for sale yesterday, but managed to do only 2 because I still don’t have access to the 3rd item’s photographs. I posted 2 items: 1. Polygon Zero 2007 Region: Selangor Name: Ady Romantika Email: [email protected] Telephone number: 01XXXXXXXXX, not shown in the ad Category: Other Vehicles, For [...]

I was instructed by my financial advisor to apply for the Al-Aiman credit card because of the low cash advance fee, to execute in a financial program, so I did and I got approved. However I received 2 cards (both Visa and MasterCard) although I only applied for a Visa card. Something fishy is going [...]

I had to go through quite a significant number of resumes the other day, and here are some tips for fresh graduates out there. Try to make your resume short. 2-3 pages is just nice, 4 is too many. Skip that section listing your primary school results and hobbies. What good does it make if [...]

Technology is great, indeed but human interaction is also important. We are sushi lovers, yes. Our favorite sushi outlet in Malaysia is Sushi King. Passing by Sakae Sushi for many times and looking at the rows of computer screens, we decided to try it out on Mother’s Day at The Curve. While other eateries provide [...]
