Seremban Laksa Asia

I should have shown you guys this much earlier, but heck, better late than never, right? This is rated as one of my favorite around. Simply delicious.

Yup. The small bowl costs RM3.00. It used to cost RM2.50. Then it went up to RM2.80. Ceiling price is RM3, I hope. Bloody crude oil prices.....

The package includes some pork (non-halal prok), half an egg, si ham (kerang, cockles), taugeh and your choice of noodles. I prefer just plain noodles. Not mihun. How to find the place you ask?

Take the second exit to Port Dickson. Pass the toll booth. You should see a traffic light. Turn right. Then you will see a left turning. Turn left. You should pass a Perodua dealer on your right. Follow the road straight all the way. Pass the Kong Guan Biscuit factory, over the bridge. Find a parking opposite the post office. The shop is beside a another shop selling food. If I'm not mistaken, the name of the shop is Restoran Laksa Asia or something like that la. Good luck in finding the place, and do leave me a feedback, if you happen to find it, and please tell me if the food is nice. hehee

Penang Part II

Penang Part II

View from the hotel room. One heck of a nice view of KOMTAR. The room was a little on the basic side, although it IS a 5 star hotel. -.-
We went out after we had checked in. Mom liked to go to Pasar Chowrasta. One nice place, if you like food. Otherwise boring. Hehe. I did find a toy shop, which had a massive amount of r/c cars, helicopter and boats. Prices were not too cheap though. Then came the famous Penang Cendol. Nice….. At only RM1.80, it was indeed cheap.
The location
After the cendol, came another awesome meal, which is -:

So many people !!

The others are fake, I was told.

Yes. Chicken chop. Not any normal chicken chop. This costs ONLY RM3.50. No joke. But (there has to be a “but”, eh?)the wait can make you hair turn white. It was a whopping 45 minute wait for the chicken chop to come. Well, the thing is simple, if you want to eat cheap, wait, otherwise, leave. Cool shit.
My dad and sis then had a buffet dinner, while my mom, me and my bro stayed in the hotel room eating, err, Hokkien Mee, which err, is Prawn Mee. Damn Penagites.. Hehe.. The Char Kuey Teow is also delicious. Damn. Penang=Food Haven.
As night came in, I took another shot of KOMTAR

Not really nice. KLCC had more light, IMHO. Hehehe…

In the morning, which was around 5:30am, (dun ask me why I got up so early), I waited patiently for the sunrise..
And then, an hour later…..

SUN !!
Not very much though. Then a wee bit later on,….



Nice.. Too bad I’ll be leaving Penang on this day…
My bro and sis went for buffet breakfast, and so me and my parents decided to look around for some food.
Then we saw this shop

Yum..Chicken rice..


The rice. Nice….

Quite generous with the soup

What’s chicken rice w/o chicken? Dun ask me~~

Penang Part I

Penang Part I
It has been quite some time since I last update my blog. Hehe. Anyway, last weekend, I drove my family to Penang. The drive was rather fun. And since the Optra is auto, no gearshifting was required from me. And my left leg did get a little too bored. (Read: no clutch). Since the road was so straight, I had to find some means to keep myself entertained. Then it happened. A gold Vios came into my rearview mirror. I was doing less than 110 km/h. So naturally the guy behind me would want to overtake me. Me, on the other hand, half kiasu and half bored, decided to rev the Optra to 4000rpm and let the power kick in. Soon I was doing 110++. Poor Vios, he seems to be stuck at 110! I even went as slow as 110 for him to overtake, but he still didn’t. 2 reasons. 1, he is very very very law abiding, in which he WILL/MUST follow the speed limit of 110 km/h. Or – the poor dude has a speed limiter on his car capped at 110. Whatever the reason, I played with him a few times, till I had to overtake a few cars and lost sight of the poor fella. Hehehe. And strangely enough, that Saturday seemed to be a Vios day, where 3 in every 5 cars were a Vios. I was dumbfounded. They seem to overtake me relatively easily. I did not bother to race them, even though the RON95 price has dropped. I did however, got relatively fed up with a particular WRM registered P2 ViVa. I overtook the nut at 120++, and maintained at 110. He would then overtake me at, hmm, more than that. Light, lack of ABS, EBD is a delicious recipe for a nice accident. Heh Heh.

Anyway, my dad decided that we should stop by at Ipoh for, err, breakfast. It was around 10am, so I guess it does qualify for breakfast. And boy, Ipoh girls are indeed hawt. Saw a few, can’t stop picking my damn jaws from the floor. Enough of girls, the food was delicious. Too bad I was not in a mood to snap pics of the food. I wonder why…..

I continued the journey a little later, where things were, well, kinda boring. The road was so straight that I swore that it joins the sky. No idiots going fast, but there was a convoy of Volvos. I was indeed tempted to outrun one of them, but since Volvos has low pressured turbos, I guess that doing so is, well, stupid. p/s, not all has turbo, only those with the T4 or T5 rating, but heck, they are powerful.

Upon reaching Penang, this greeted me.

Jam. God damn jam. Screw it. The jam was like poo, shit, dung, whatever you call it. I was stuck in the jam BEFORE the Penang Bridge for a whole 45 minutes !! Anyway, after the jam had been cleared, I drove on the Penang Bridge for the first time. Huhuhu. Too bad the traffic was a little on the heavy side, otherwise I would be breaking every speed limit I see.

Dad checked into the hotel little after 3, in which I was damn exhausted after driving for, more than 7 hours. Boy driving was fun.

Real Monks?

Saw this while I was at KLCC McDonalds. I was like wtfroflgtfopokokberwarnawarni.jpg.

No shit. Monk eating BigMac. That's,err,cool? Or uncool? Well, depends on which side of the fence you're on. I dont give a damn, really. MYOB.

Userbars

Sharing is caring. Just let me know if there is a userbar you need me to help yo make.

My Ingenius Way of Laptop Cooling

I was downloading some stuff for some 5 hours when I noticed that the laptop's CPU temperature was a whopping 80°c. Then I pointed a box fan towards it. No help. Then I switched off the laptop and removed the back plate of the laptop, exposing the innards of the laptop. Then I used 3 erasers to raise the height up and left the box fan AND laptop cooler on.



Yup, you can see the innards of the laptop from this view.

The results?

The temperature dropped a whopping 10°c.
Cant wait for V2.0 of this cooler...

A nice joke..

A wealthy couple prepared to go out for the evening. The woman of the house gave their butler, Jervis, the night off. She said they would return home very late, and she hoped he would enjoy his evening. The wife wasn't having a good time at the party. So, she came home early, alone. Her husband stayed on, socializing with important clients. As the woman walked into her house, she found Jervis by himself in the dining room. She called him to follow her, and led him into the master bedroom.

She turned to him and said, in the voice she knew he must obey, "Jervis, I want you to take off my dress." This he did, hanging it carefully over a chair. "Jervis," she continued, "now take off my stockings and garter belt." Again, Jervis silently obeyed. "Now, Jervis, I want you to remove my bra and panties." Eyes downcast, Jervis obeyed. Both were breathing heavily, the tension mounting between them. She looked sternly at him and said, "Jervis, if I ever catch you wearing my stuff again, you're fired!"

Installing Flash Player w/o Admin Rights

Alright, I am using the school's comp to online, but unfortunately the admin account has been locked. I cannot install anything ( yet ). But after some googling, I managed to find a way to install the flash player for Firefox.

1. Download the xpi package from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current/flashplayer-win.xpi

2. Rename the attributes to .zip.

3. Copy the files flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Plugins\ where
%APPDATA% is the folder which holds your applications profiles and settings. (You can open this folder simply choosing "Start → Run → Type in %APPDATA% → OK")

4. Run Firefox if you havent. Restart if you used it earlier.

5. Enjoy..

Rules Of Life

Sometimes we just need to remember what the Rules of Life really are....

1. Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas.
2. You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
3. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship: "I apologize" and "You are right."
4. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
5. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.
6. The only really good advice that your mother ever gave you was, "Go! You might meet somebody!"
7. If he/she says that you are too good for him/her-believe them.
8. Learn to pick your battles. Ask yourself, 'Will this matter one year from now? How about one month? One week? One day?'
9. Never pass up an opportunity to pee.
10. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!
11. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.
12. Work is good, but it's not that important.
13. And finally... Be really nice to your friends and family. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.

My new RAM

Beautiful RAM. Got it from a forumer at RM205. Plus postage. Nice. Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB kit. 1066mhz.. Yum yum... That would translate to around 8.5GB/s transfer from CPU to RAM.. I like.. LowYat's best price was RM205 for a Corsair DHX 2GB, but at 800MHz.. hehehe
What a beauty~~~

First Paycheck

Was RM558.30.

So little. But its better than staying at home for 3 weeks and rotting at home. Shopping time~

Exercise and get $$ ??

I received an SMS from my junior. Lets call her X. Well, X asked whether want to go out yumcha later or not. I asked when. She said around 4:30. Fine. My class finished early, so I managed to online a lil while before I went out. I left college at 4:20. Reached there before she did. Then it occured to me. Who else is going? I shot her an SMS. Her reply was just the two of us. Crap~

She arrived shortly after. Then we had a seat. That was when I was preparing myself.

Her first words were, " This is not about selling anything, direct sales or MLM." In my mind was, Yeah right. I was then mentally prepared for all kinds of shit. Hehe.

Then she started saying about this membership/facility for exercising and martial arts and stuff. Membership for 3 months is RM980, RM330 for a month. RM 180 for 0.5 months. Wow~~ Damn "cheap" horrr.... I LOL-ed silently.

I let her continue talking. I was already drinking my coffee ( which was a treat from her. I supposed was to convince me to listen to her ). Wow........

Then was the money making part. I did recall her saying that from each member that registers, the introducer makes RM328, RM11x and RM60.20 respectively. More like cheating them of their money, I suppose. LOL

Then she introduced her fall-back plan, which means that if I am friendless ( aka Phantom ), I still can make small bucks. But who wants to make small bucks? Hmmmm.....

I asked her if she has successfully convinced anyone as yet. She said just one. Well, not bad for a start. She did not mention which "plan" did her "victim" signed up for though.

The best part? " You can earn up to RM10,000 a month......" Up to. Yeah right. In ALL of your WILDEST dreams. Woohoo.. If it can, WHY NOT EVERYONE SIGN UP !! ITS FREE !!

They are even planning to open a cafe. Wow...... Wonder what the name would be. Moneybean? ROFL. She said that it used to have one, but since some members disagreed on some thing, so it had to be shut down. So, what make one think that it won't happen again? I found out that there was even going to be a TV3 interview. Wow..again...

I asked her if there was any cons with the whole plan. Her answer?





No



Where do I sign?
Nah, forget about it. She was also selling the Quantum Pendant a while back. I asked her why no more selling. She said not everyone want to buy a RM500 pendant. Well, why not? It volcanic rock that can be bought from ACE Hardware cheaply. I guess someone spilled the beans. Poor thing. I shall see how this "magical" plan survives.

I failed.......again

Just saw my final sem results. I fluncked my accounts ( again !! ) AND GMII. I'm screwed. Looks like I'll be going Kampar much much later.......sigh....

Random Joke

A wealthy hospital benefactor was being shown around the hospital. During her tour she passed a room where a male patient was masturbating furiously.

'Oh my GOD!' screamed the woman. 'That's disgraceful! Why is he doing that?'

The doctor who was leading the tour calmly explained, "I'm very sorry that you were exposed to that, but this man has a serious condition where his testicles rapidly fill with semen, and if he doesn't do that at least five times a day, he'll be in extreme pain and his testicles could easily rupture."

Oh, well in that case, I guess it's okay,' said the woman.

As they passed by the very next room, they saw a male patient laying in bed while a nurse performed oral sex on him. Again, the woman screamed, 'Oh my GOD! How can THAT be justified?'

Again the doctor spoke very calmly:
'Same illness, better health plan!'

Working at McD : Day 3

Today is the first day of my proper working days. 8 hours, instead of the training's 4. Got to work at 9am. Very early. Got stationed at the back cashier for like, err, 30minutes before I got kicked to the kitchen. Withing the 30 minutes, I met the morning shift dude, Azahari. 18 years old like me. But he will be working to fund his studies. Wow. Seems like he will be working for a long time. Anyway, at the kitchen, I had to fry the patties and those kind of stuff. Had lunch at 3 something. Worked till 6pm. Was horribly tired at the end of the day. Looking forward to tomorrow's work. :p

Working at McD : Day 2

Well, Day 2 means you know where you should go already, and I told the manager I was to be stationed at the back. Got there. Worked as usual. This time though, quite some interesting things happened. Firstly, there were people who, well, are quite, err, rich. I wanted to return the change, but they told me to keep the change. I was like, lol and wtf?? I can't accept tips. Seriously. And then, I learned how to spot an African's car. Well, 98% of the time, it is a Proton, maximum 2 years old. Waja, Persona, Wira and Satria Neo. And then, 100% of them, well, use the freaking high beam. Idiots. From far can see them, and my eyes hurt. Why can't they use the normal light like everyone else? Why need to be so special? Goddamnit.

Working at McD : Day 1

Arrived there at 5pm sharp. Told manager I was first day there. Got kicked to the back. Became cashier for Drive-Thru. Met a nice dude named Hairul. talked to him. Then he taught me how to take the money and so on so forth. Darn, greeting the customers ain't easy, but I managed to finish it. Day 1 is my first day (if not???), and I was waiting so darn long for 9pm to come. It came, after 4 hours, that it. Enjoyed that day.

Why i LOVE my mom

Simple, whacking my head is a sign of LOVE~~ Yeah. 3 times. More LOVE~~ What resulted in that? Just asking what is right and what is wrong. Who knew that questioning those topics would result in LOVE ~~ Ya ya ya. You are the BEST example la. Daddy is NOT THE GOOD EXAMPLE LA. Whacking head is DAMN GOOD EXAMPLE NOW LA??? Screw that.

Anther MSN virus in the wild

If you guys receive a NEWESTPICTURE0011.zip file, delete it immediately. It is a very strong virus.

If you got infected, there are several symptoms.

- No Task Manager
- No regedit
- No msconfig
- AV shuts down
- Autostarts using " Symantec Security Service ". In which I did NOT install that program before
- Deleted my hosts file. Now I can't online.
- Spreads through MSN with the ZIP file NEWPICTURES1100.zip.
- Inside will be a .scr file. DO NOT OPEN IT.
- Using address bar in XP will NOT work.
- Settings will bounce back.
- Programs may not run after being infected. You may need to rename the .exe file. ie, hijackthis.exe rename to hjt.exe
- System Restore disabled
- Infects USB drives as well. Use Win+E to open your drive,as right-click and Open also triggers the virus.

Download and install Malwarebytes Antimalware, Kaspersky Antivirus 2009, ComboFix and boot into safe mode. I will teach you the exact steps if you need to know precisely how to clear it.

Another browser

Another browser is out, just after about a fortnight after Chrome's launch. Its called Space Time 3D. And well, here is a small review.
Looks nice? Well, it does. But seriously, the lack of buttons really annoys me. And, how the heck do I add tabs? And why does Wikipedia does not have an entry of Space Time 3D yet? Anyhow, I will take this chance to, err, bomb this browser. Hahaha.

Not to be cruel or anything, but every since the launch of FF3, IE8, Opera 9.5 and Chrome, I was expecting a heck more than this. Yes, other than the 3D effects, I am not happy at all with ST3D. It sucks. Yes, it SUCKS. I mean, why doesn't the regular Ctrl+T opens up a new tab? If you observe closely, the full screen ain't full. The top still has some empty space. Why is it so slow? What is your source engine? And why the hell did you gave me a BSOD? Why? I hate this browser. Nuff said.

Why I Fired My Secretary

This is a true story. Last week was my 40th birthday and I really didn’t feel like waking up that morning. I managed to pull myself together and go downstairs for breakfast, hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, “Happy Birthday!”, and possibly have a small present for me. As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone “Happy Birthday.” I thought… Well, that’s marriage for you, but the kids… They will remember.

My kids came trampling down the stairs to breakfast, ate their breakfast, and didn’t say a word to me. So when I made it out of the house and started for work, I felt pretty dumpy and despondent.

As I walked into my office, my secretary Joanne said, “Good Morning Boss, and by the way Happy Birthday!” It felt a bit better knowing that at least someone remembered. I worked in a zombie like fashion until about one o’clock, when Joanne knocked on my door and said, “You know, it’s such a beautiful day outside, and it’s your Birthday, why don’t we go out for lunch, just you and me.” I said, “Thanks, Joanne, that’s the best thing I’ve heard all day. Let’s go!”

We went to lunch but not where we’d normally go. Instead she took me to a quiet bistro with a private table. We had a couple of mixed drinks and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. On the way back to the office, Joanne said, “You know, It’s such a beautiful day… We don’t have to go right back to the office, do we?” I replied with “I suppose not. What do you have in mind?” She said, “Let’s go to my apartment, it’s just around the corner.”

After arriving at her apartment, Joanne turned to me and said, “Boss if you don’t mind, I’m goinna to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I’ll be right back.” “Ok.” I nervously replied. She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake…

Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens of my friends, and co-workers, all singing “Happy Birthday”.

And I just sat there…

On the couch…

Naked.

Random joke

A man checked into a hotel. There was a computer in
his room, so he
decided
to send an e-mail to his wife.
However, he accidentally typed a wrong e-mail address,
and without
realizing his error, he sent out the e-mail.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just
returned from her
husband's funeral. The widow decided
to check her inbox, expecting condolence messages from
relatives and
friends.

Upon reading the first message, she fainted. The
widow's son rushed into
the room, found his mother on the floor,
and saw the computer screen which read as follow:

To : My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Reached
Date : 16 May 2004

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They gave
computers here,
and we are allowed to send e-mails to loved ones.
I've just reached here and have been checked-in.
I see that everything has been prepared for your
arrival tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing you TOMORROW!

The Italian

The Italian.

An 18 year old Italian girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period for 2 Months. Very worried, the mother goes to the Drugstore and buys a pregnancy test.

The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says," Who was the pig that did this to you? I want to know!" The girl picks up the phone and makes a call.

Half an hour later, a Ferrari stops in front of their house. A mature and distinguished man with gray hair and impeccably dressed in an Armani suit steps out of the Ferrari and enters the house.

He sits in the living room with the father, mother, and the girl and tells them, "Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem. I can't marry her because of my personal family situation but I'll take charge. I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life. Additionally, if a girl is born, I will bequeath a Ferrari, a beach house, 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beach front villa, and a $2,000,000 bank account. If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $4,000,000 bank account. If twins, they will receive a factory and $2,000,000 each. However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest we do?"

At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him, "You fuk her again."

Acid3 tests

As quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid3,

Acid3 is a test page from the Web Standards Project that checks how well a web browser follows certain web standards, especially relating to the DOM and JavaScript.

It was in development from April 2007,[1] and released on 3 March 2008.[2] The main developer was Ian Hickson, who also wrote the Acid2 test. Acid2 focused primarily on Cascading Style Sheets, but this third Acid test focuses also on technologies used on modern, highly interactive websites characteristic of Web 2.0, such as ECMAScript and DOM Level 2. A few tests also concern Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), XML and data: URIs. It includes several elements from W3C CSS3 working drafts that have not made it to candidate recommendations yet.
When successful, the Acid3 test displays a gradually increasing percentage counter with colored rectangles in the background. The percentage displayed is based on the number of sub-tests passed. In addition to these the browser also has to render the page exactly like the reference page as rendered in the same browser. Like the Acid2 test, the reference rendering is not a bitmap, to allow for certain differences in font rendering.

Ok, enough of copying. Here are some results from popular browsers today.

Google Chrome

Firefox 3

Internet Explorer 8, Beta 2

Opera 9.5

Acid3 was deliberately written in such a way that every web browser failed upon the test's release.

Google Chrome Launched

For those who are still in the dark, this is Google's first beta browser. I'm using it now and I am relatively pleased with how it turned out. Something different from the other browsers I have used. But since it's still in beta, I'll keep my criticism until the final is out. Anyway, it does eat less RAM than FF3.

Initial tryouts did show that there is no drop down for the address bar. And I can't use the scroll wheel to scroll down. Oh, where is my smooth scrolling? Why does it need to have online installation? Why can't I download the whole application and install it on internet un-capable systems? Wait for more to come while I torture it.
For downloads, its at http://www.google.com/chrome
Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

The car I use.

Its not my car. Its my daddy's one. I use it as mine. Hehe. Anyway, I drive this most of the time and I do get quite attached to it.



Its not my car. Its my daddy's one. I use it as mine. Hehe
It's a 1.6l Chevy Optra. 2005 model. I do wish to change those fugly rims for something better.

Waja And Optra Afterthoughts

I did have fun driving both cars. The Waja is so much more responsive then the Optra is. I accidentally revved the car to 5000rpm while stepping on the accelerator. And the 4G18 is kinda rough. Maybe it is kinda old. Anyway, while cruising at 90km/h at some trunk roads, the car's rev was around 2500rpm. I managed around 2200rpm on the Optra. It is all about the gearing. The ride of the Waja is also a bit harsh, kinda hard. Maybe it was due to the 16" rims and series 45 tires. Darn sporty rims sacrifices comfort for handling. I did not managed to play on further, as it was around 11pm that day. I could have tested the D-3-2-1 on the bending roads. I only managed to play with the "HOLD" button on the Optra. More to come soon, I hope.

Chevrolet Optra Review Part II

Okay, here is the second part of my review. Here, I think I will talk about the performance of the Optra. The 1.6l powerplant may not be enough to push the car, as the car weighs roughly 1400kg. The engine is relatively smooth. I managed to rev the engine to around 6000rpm, in which the engine starts to feel rough, and noisy. But heck, who revs the car to such insane rpms? I only did so because I wanted to overtake some slow drivers. The best part was that daddy did not mind much. All he said was mind the corner ! Near my home ( Len Sen area ), the hilly roads are relatively windy, and is perfect to test the car. At the back roads, I managed to do around 75km/h, which the car still feels planted, and it is still possible to push the car even more. I did managed to have some fun with cars like a Kancil, a Volvo 240 and a Honda City. But the same can't be said for my mom, as she keeps saying this like, " SLOWER ! " Daddy said he will change the tires to Goodyear Ducaro GAs soon, which I can't wait, as the current tires are quite noisy.

A little review

Here I would like to put my little review on a Chevy Optra 1.6. Well, the car isn't brand new, and I did not know how the previous driver drove it, so my review is an as-is basis. Anyway, I'll start now.
The car is the first gen Optra, which means that the looks is generic when compared to its international siblings. It has a good shape, safe for the fact that not many people are aware of how good this car actually is. The direct competition for this model, which is the 1.6, is the Proton Waja, Proton Persona and maybe even the new Suzuki SX4 Sedan. The engine is a Daewoo sourced 1.6 E-TEC II, which produces 107bhp at 6500rpm. A little more when compared to the first gen Waja, but if compared to the CPS Waja, even the 1.8 Optra pales in comparison. The Waja and Optra's suspension system is tuned by Lotus. But I suppose the similarities end there. The steering of the Optra feels planted, and has a good weight feel to it. My quip is that the sudden pickup of the car is just not good enough. I have driven other cars where when the accelerator is pushed down, the car slips down a gear or two, but for the Optra, I need to press rather hard before it kicks down A gear. It seems to lack the fun factor there.

End of Part I

A small update.

Its has more than a week since I have last updated my blog. Delays and delays. Damn. Anyhow, I have finished testing the "damn" izzi 4G. I am seriously not impressed by this product at all. For something that costs RM700+++, I was expecting a hell lot more. My principal thought it could work indoors, but I have tested it, and well? it sucks. No offense, but only 1 or two rooms has marginally good signal. I am disappointed by this product. Don't get me wrong, it has the potential to do well, but I was not allowed to ring it out, due to the nature of this product. Download speeds hovered at 30 kbps, which is nothing to shout at. Really, I do hope that the Government brings out WiMax sooner, so that it will be a hell lot easier for most, if not all, of us.

PC Fair August 2008 Coverage PT4

After emerging from the speaker zone, I was greeted by

Sony girls. Nice..

Anyhow, Intel was opposite Sony, and...I saw these guys.

So-called Intel engineers. Scary.

I went to look for something that interests me more, like this,



If you are so inclined, this is the new 45nm CPU from Intel. TO be honest, I don't really give a damn.

I only gave a damn to this.


3 graphics cards in perfect harmony. Beautiful. But there were too many idiots ogling at the poor thing. But if you do look carefully, you'll notice two thins. One, the cards are too near together, which is bad for airflow. Two, where are the SLI connectors?? I do wonder how much does this rig costs.

Wall-E spotted. Cute fella.


More girls.





Anyhow, this was the last hall with girls worth snapping. I think I'll just let it stop here. Enjoy. :)
