Yeay !!! Akhirnya...saat yang dinanti-nantikan telah pun tiba. Segala kegusaran telah terpadam. Khamis lepas aku dpt pasang motherboard baru (Gigabyte DS3L). Kire aku buat sume la...cabut processor dari motherboard lama..pasang balik sume kat motherboard baru. Pastu, format harddisk baru (SATA II 250 GB), install XP Pro. Sambung lak Jumaat petang ngan lain2 software yang diperlukan.
Dari jumaat malam, kepagi semalam dan lah kemalam ini, kemas bilik kerja aku nih, setup cabling cantek2 (siap ngan power surge ngan regulator lagik). Tapi major breakthrough..bila aku buleh transfer WoW aku. takyah nak install balik..yes ! Dan hasilnya...testing sampai sejam setengah hehehe.
Skang tinggal nak format harddisk lama (SATA II 160 GB)...60 GB dah format, 100 GB lagi besok la kut...takkan tak tido lak kan. Masalahnye sikit skang nih...nak wat pe storage bebyk tuh ? Hmm..ke layan satu PC lagik...power supply ngan harddisk dah ada...tinggal yg lelain jek...hehehe..naya tul...

ONCE...trip to Shenzhen/Hong Kong
Last week I followed my wife's company trip to Shenzhen and Hong Kong from 11 - 15 June. I must say it's an experiences going to China. Seeing different people, different culture, different way of life and different views. Some photos with my SGH U700 (more from Sony soon).
We have no difficulty getting halal food as it has been arranged by the travel agent. So good that I've gained additional 2 kg !!! *sigh* Quite alot of halal restaurant in Shenzhen and HK, just that not many that can accommodate big group (we're about 50 ppl). HK will not complete without visiting Disneyland. There're few interesting sights in HK as well ;-).
this is taken from the Indian food restaurant in HK (claimed to be halal...but dunno lah..tawakal je la..). interestingly, it has TV/DVD man ! i dunno how to turn it on..but really something to spend ur 'time' in here enjoying dvd shows @ 12 june 7.59 pm
seems like the whole toilet man !!! @ 12 june 8 pm
It's raining in both Shenzhen and HK. HK is having summer season as we went..but summer in HK means raining season :D. So, always brings ur umbrella or rain coat when u going out. Given a choice, I might go to HK again (of course with my kids..no point going there alone duh!) but Shenzhen..ermm...perhaps if all paid for ;-).
panorama view (only with my SGH U700 :p) from Sungei Wang type of shopping mall. the photo is where the bus and train station of shenzhen @ 15 june 3.56 pm
another panorama view. we've to spend 4 hours shoppin and we're done in 2 hours. this is part of spending time waitin. btw, i'll improve my panorama technique later ;) @ 15 june 4.08 pm

Aku tak dpt join xpdc candat sotong sebab depa naik ari jumaat. cuti aku dah la sikit...so aku join utk bbq je la. Mlm tu lepas bbq, kami bermesyuwarah utk mengesetkan hala tuju EKAT seterusnya.

ONCE...Netbash@WCIT with Vinton Cerf
I attended the function. Dr Vinton Cerf is Chief Internet Evangelist at Google. Very interesting person, knowledgeable and approachable. He is one of the internet founder (as he puts it that way).
One interesting point that he shared is, in Google, there's lots of young people. And young people don't quite understand the word "Cannot Do". It's not registered in their vocab. Thus, everything is possible, there's ways to solve it, etc..etc. So, the old people (again..as he puts it) need to rethink. As he rethink on some request by the guys, the reason it doesn't work then was the technology was not there yet..the acceptance might be a problem...and there's other contributing factor on why it won't work then..but it might work now.
So, to the old people, before you decide to block the young guys on their ambitions by saying "No" based solely on your previous failed experiences...think again..why it failed then ? May it work now ? Most of the time...it might...
ONCE...sukenye...
ONCE...madness
I've got few SMSes on 4 June, reminding to fill-up my petrol tank before midnight as the fuel price will increase by 12 midnight. As usual, I'm not interested to do so because it'll be hell jam at the petrol stations..as it always happen before.
However, this time around is crazy. I was from Putrajaya around 6 plus, the jam started from Seri Kembangan exit all the way to Puchong. And you can see people crawling and waiting for HOURS just to save some money on the fuel. Don't they ever think that the idling petrol running not worth waiting ? Or rather...there goes your savings man !!!
My sister-in-law waited for an hour at Shah Alam. Fair enough that hers almost empty..no choice so too speak. My office colleague shared with me this morning (i mean Thu 5 June), that his sister-in-law waited for a whopping 4.5 hours at Seksyen 6 Shah Alam !!! I can't compute why people can wait that long. 4.5 hours just sitting there in the car doing nothing ?!! Or perhaps that's one way Malaysian destress once a while.
Another colleague shared that the petrol station ran out of petrol as she wanted to fill-up in the morning. To those people, is the hours wasted waiting worth the once-in-life-time savings ? Will it last for 2 years ? In KL, minimum 5 days you would need to fill it up again (depending on how frequent and how far you travel to work and for work everyday). Don't you need to pay the new price anyway ? I don't really digest for such professionals, middle class people, educated...all so called modern thinking Klang Valley people (err...it might be nationwide...but this is what i saw and heard...in Klang Valley)...can't think that far..?
Anyway, for those who're abroad and might not aware, old unleaded fuel price RM 1.92/liter. Now RM 2.70/liter. For all things that we want to be a developed country...but yet we don't dare to live without subsidies. *sigh*
