An unexpected surprise of my blog

I got an unexpected call from my lawyer this morning while i had just finished my Monday morning meeting. It was a little surprise of the reason why she called my up. There was a claim by another lawyer issuing a threatening remark claiming that i had intentionally produced a blog writing ugly things about the lawyer as well as the judge. To my surprise, according to what i've been told over tc the content of the letter addressing me as the one who creates slandering over the internet about some individuals related to courts. An dthe funny thing here is it threatens me if i were not to officially apologise within given time, i'll be summoned & thus brought to the court.

Funny sunggoh mangkok2 ni!

My first discovery of Android application development

I thought of blogging about a post of my past experience at the Shah Alam High court. That was the first time we, (i mean the rest of usual crowds who have attended my boring harta sepencarian case) have direct communication my ex-wife's farther. Personally, i believe my court battle is actually against him and myself, and not between me and my ex. Anyway, the thought of bursting out about the whole experience in the court and few things that managed to capture which i would think may become an advantage to my side, has somehow influenced my consciousness not to do it right now. Perhaps another posting would be better cause i have something more relevant and at-least-more exciting to myself for me to jot down. It's about a new area of knowledge that i have discovered yesterday while window-shopping and book-browsing at Popular bookstore. It's about Android application development.

To make it short, i unplanned-ly have bought a thick wrox-publishing programming book that cost me reasonably a fortune. The book is in general explaining about how one can write a program on Android platform specifically on sensor-related programming language. Fortunately, the principle language of programming is Java, so it would be and hopefully easier for me to deal with.

And today, still having a good level of enthusiast-ism on the subject, i did a little google, and i came across the following address

A big applause to myself for the reckless accident i have commited

Till now i have done twice accidents in the kitchen. I guess my mind was pre-occupied with other unfinished matters that keep on hovering over my mind since i came back from raya. First accident that has happened this morning was i accidentally slipped my budu bottle that i've just bought when i was about to remove it from the plastic bag to my room fridge. The bottle that was obviously made of glass fell down and shattered across the kitchen floor. The whole house smelled with stinky budu. At the end, it took me almost 1 hour to clean up the mess, picked up carefully all the shattered pieces of glass and mopped the whole damned floor.

The 2nd accident was, i burned my chicken drumstick when i was frying it for lunch! i didn't noticed that i put the stove fire on high and left the drumstick on the fire. I went into my room and so absorbed into my facebook i have obviously forgotten about the frying drumstick. The ironic was, naturally when i did multiple things at the same time especially when one of the tasks involves with cooking, i set the timer on and this this time i did the same routine. The uncommon routine here was, i unforgettably putting the fire on high. Then when i came back to the kitchen which was less than 5 minutes after i left it, the chicken is half black at the bottom. Well, i have to throw it away and redo the frying.

I guess i really need to do something about those unfinished thoughts that are bugging in my mind! Perhaps, i should start off with getting in touch with one of those NIOSH officials.

1st day of work and my mind is numb

I don't intend to do any fruitful work today, cause i guess my mind kinda slow and i need some space to recollect what i really should and must do before the year ends. It's about planning the whole things that i have planned mentally in my mind while i was on hari raya vacation last week.

Anyway, at first i thought my mail would be choked with boring stuffs and naturally if i didn't open it up for few days it would already be closed down due to massive email sizes in my inbox. Despite my worry, it is totally working fine. There are only few warnings from administrator email saying that my email is over sized, and they are not too serious where any incoming emails would be bounced back. As of now, after few deletions, my mailbox instantly receiving other incoming emails and i'm able to send out emails.

Things that are over my mind are the NIOSH classes and how i should carefully plan for my outdoor activities involving mountain-climbing, marathon practices, weekly piano class and a-just-discovered new wish skydiving.

I've just been informed by my girl fren that Tahan mountain expedition is called off cause the climbers from Kinabalu team who wished to join us cannot make it this year cause their schedule is tight. So it can possibly been done early next year. The shit here is, i have already promise my old fren Bado xMRSMer that i'll do the expedition right after the Raya. Perhaps i can make do with simpler expeditions to Irau/Berinchang or Stong.

Finally at my home sweet home

Honestly, I don't really feel that too excited after arriving home; my mind is kinda lembab & slow semacam. Perhaps because i don't have specific plans of what to do in this 2 days before start off working. At least something that mentally i have collected from the past vacation and become takeaways over here are firstly, i should start off planning carefully for my expedition to Tahan mountain, secondly do some preparation especially mentally for myself on skydiving or gather as much info on skydiving from the aspect of cost, my own schedule like on which weekend should i plan for the trip and which company to go to, third one is research on NIOSH for my career progress particularly when i target that i want to do something different;y big next year. maybe because there are so many things to do on my own for each plan that really make me become slow. Initially i thought of finishing off my puasa 6 as soon as possible and today would be that 2nd last day. however, things doesn't turn up as planned, i tak posa today :(. Aku jadi malass lak plak bila dok kat sini! Ahh.. no matter, i'll do it tomorrow and 1 day during work next week.

Today, it looks like my time would be spent on fixing my aquarium. Well, after my leaving them for a week without supply any CO2 gas everyday and plan fertilizer as usual, the plans look healthy and green! My glosso has spread out nicely although not entirely cover the whole ground. The other new first-time-planted plans at the background have grown up quite tall. Even the expensive moss that i packed in 2 nice square-like layers have shown a thin layer of new pucuk2. Anyway, the best of all is my aquarium is clean, neat and tidy without any ugly hairy like algae that are used to be entangling every inch inside the aquarium. Without them, my aquarium looks soooo refreshing and mind soothing. My thank to those 4 yellow algae eaters. Well done you guys!

Last night after reaching down LCCT from Kota Bharu, suprisingly enough the whether here was excellent, there was no sign of downpour at all. Unlike during the flight take off from Kota Bharu airport until we were close to arriving at LCCT, the whether was constantly bad. There were few bumps that we experience along the journey. and alhamdulillah my journey back to home on my bike was sound and safe.

Eid Mubarak 2012 at my hometown Kota Bharu

Hi,
It has been a while i haven't jotted anything in this blog. It started right after i returned from Kota Bharu to KL meeting and spending time with my kids Hafiz, Hakim, Dania and Madiha; and that was in early June. I lost touch with blogging until now. I took some pictures of them and me so that i can make it as a memory. I believed it's good to capture some memories with them as i only have several days in a year to be with them. InsyaAllah i will posted some pictures of my kids on my blog in future. Anyway, as of for today i want to talk about my new inspired interest which is astonishingly skydiving.

I don't exactly know i managed to get the idea of wanting to join this such adrenaline rush activity, perhaps maybe after watching some youtube homemade videos by not-close-at-all facebook friend name izwan bliss or maybe because of me feeling bored staying at my mom's house in Kota Bharu, just wasting time waiting for my returning flight to KL which is due tomorrow. Couple of days here with no one else to spend with except my mom really make me nuts. perhaps that's the main reason why my mind gradually and desperately wanting to unleash in doing something out of ordinary.. hmmm free fall sky diving. It was a perfect timing when i opened up my facebook and came across izwan's video on his experience going through the free fall attempt. it just caught my attention and after going through some other youtube videos, i said to myself, i must do this. at least if it is not this year, it must be next year.

i hope  still have the guts by the time i am ready enough for the crazy mind-blowing once-in-life-time experience. i'm coming for you skydiving segamat free fall drop zone!

Well readers, Eid mubarak was 5 days ago and today was the 5th day; mmm..... obviously! i didn't take long enough to continue for the 6-day-syawal after raya; which is strongly recommended in Islam. i started off my puasa enam on the 3rd day of raya and today is my 3rd puasa. i hope i can continue without breaking any day in between and able to complete it before my work next week. It'd definitely be leceh if i procrastinate untill nearly the end of Syawal.

A year of piano lessons

Today i came very early to the work, it was truly out of ordinary. There was nothing so special today except there will be a meeting with Diyana from Billing. Soffiyan and myself have agreed to meet her this morning right before she started her meeting with the fucker sales people. Well, that's not the key highlight that i want to babble about. At 7am before i went off to office, i put my fingers on the piano keyboards and started playing the ones that should practice and out of nowhere, it came across my mind that i should try play the old songs when i first practice a year ago.

At first it was Lonesome; my fingers and my mind proved to be quite quick in synchronisation. I managed to play it reasonably good.  Well, that was not really so suprising cause i played Lonesome song sometimes when i felt bored with the kids-like song for my grade. And then i flipped the pages and i found the old one named Thumbalaika. Then i started playing the song slowly by looking the notes and my fingers on the keyboard without looking at the translation notes beneath each score. I gradually able to pick up very fast and able to play the song very well relative to the way how i played it a year ago. Personally, i've impressed my own self. Yaaaa... truly it was not a waste of practicing what my teacher, Yap taught me in every class i have attended. I can truly read the notes without the need to translate them one by one. Well done shahrul!

Lost voice

Well, i think the 1st think that came across my mind about what i should jot down here right now is; i lost my voice! i could hardly utter any comprehensible audible sound from my mouth since 2 days ago and today was the 3rd day. Honestly speaking, whenever i say something out, it sounds like itik serati, in fact i need to repeat few times to people so that that they can understand what i'm trying to say. in short life at the office is hard today, not to mention that most of my office mates are either smiling sheepishly whenever i talked or made fun or me. Well, who cares, what i plan to do for today is to finish my office time if not entirely to the end, i'll rush off to home and get ready for my piano class. I haven't practiced anything on my new song.

The last 2 days was worse, i had pain in my throat especially if i swallowed anything even my own saliva and i cannot speak out anything. Thank got i managed to go to Qistina clinic nearby and had new medicine for my throat problem. The doctor gave me a new stronger antibiotic and according to me galfren, they were expensive; RM10 per pill. Other pills are the one to tone down my phlegm which horribly stucked at my throat. After taking them, i felt a little bit better. I even asked for a one-day-MC so that i could have enough rest; i felt a bit tak-sedap-badan lately. perhaps this was because of my hectic routine that i went through after my coming back from Kota Bharu.

There were few unfinished things that i want to post here but couldn't have such suitable time ending up me procrastinating even longer. Things inside my mind like; about my children, i wish i could jot down personally on each of them, my experience during Stong mountain climbing, joining the water rafting at Sungai kampar, Gopeng and the next upcoming event which is Standard Chartered 11.8 km run.

First day to Ayam mountain climbing expedition

lately my mind is being occupied with my preparation for the expedition of climbing Ayam mountain with TNB group. Today would be the day that i and my wife meet them at KL Central and then everybody will take a train together to Dabong, Gua Musang. The place that we'll go for a camp and mountain climbing is also popularly known as Jelawang Waterfall, where you'll be able to camp at a camping site called Baha camp. The place is actual a transit and a mid point before you go on further to climb few mountains; few of which are well-known are Stong, Ayam and Baha. This expedition however only have a mountain peak in mind to conquer which is Ayam mountain.

Today, right after finish my work, i will join the TNB group whom most of them i have never meet before, and the meeting place is at KL central train station. Our group will depart to Dabong at 8:30pm and then will join a 2nd group who will be waiting for our arrival at Dabong, i guess those team members over there are the local people so most of the plan and what to do at the camping site is planned by them. The food, kitchen ware, few tents and the cookings will also be provided by them. Members from KL including myself shall only need bring those stuffs after being divided equally at the climbing base up to Baha camp.

To be honest, i am feeling of sense of thrill to be able to join in this expedition despite the fact that my going to Jelawang waterfall would be my 3rd one already. I guess, it is mainly because the feeling and anticipation that i will meet new faces apart from my old fren Wang Jazmi who currently work at TNB; well he's my intermediary person rather than the experience of hardship and endurance climbing up your ass to the mountain peak. It would be a new experience of me mixing around with new faces and characters  while climbing up the mountain. Apart from that, i think because of several expeditions already that i've joined, my preparation for the luggage rucksack was tremendously better. My target was to make sure the entire weigh must not exceed 15kg cause i need to take into account the additional food and kitchen-ware stuffs that all members must carry at Dabong. and when i last weighted my packed Karrimor bag after endless repacking and rearranging stuffs, it is 15.2 kg. That was the last rearrangement of stuff i made and 40 minutes before mid nite, i rushed off to my office to leave my bag over there. i didn't intend to bring along on the following day, cause it would be me driving my car and mostly is, it will obviously attract attention of fellow employees. So it would be best if i just leave the heavy bag the nite before and i can come to office as usual riding my bike.

A journey to Campbell near Sogo TAR

disebabkan hari ni cuti yang memang aku blur tak tahu sbb selalu sangat delete email HR dan aku pon xde member kamceng kat ofis, maka aku datang ofis mcam sioot. So, i took this chance to do do a long pending task that i procrastinated which is to go to Campbell infront of Sogo Jalan TAR to buy fly sheet of size of 7 x 10 feet. I only managed to leave off the office at a quarter past two. The traffic as expected was always jam by the time i reached the roundabout at National Mosque and towards the historic controversial Dataran Merdeka; this was the place where protestors and demonstrators chose to run their haram rally against government. Jam teruk which make me to ride my bike extra careful from Jalan Raja Laut to TAR and took left turn in front of Sogo to reach Campbell building. Thank god i have performed my Zohor prayers, otherwise i would probably spend unnecessary time here which i didn't have any intention to do so.

 The store at Campbell where outdoor folks always find their cheap gears for outdoors and mountaineering is called apekebende-mak-datuk-nama-dia nih!? Haaah.. Evergreen store. They have website evergreenadventure.com. Those who have in  mind to find cheap with low quality outdoor tools should come here. The sales girl over there memang cam sial, muka ketat all the way, perhaps she was not happy either because she was in her peak of period season or i was being perceived as nuisance as i walk-in and so-called disturbed her having lunch. In short memang mcam sial, aku tanya buat muka bangsat plak, jawab tak jawab. Nasib baik la aku datang dari jauh merempuh jam nak sampai sini, kalau tak memang haram aku tak datang sini!

 I took my time to window shop & scan through what are the things they sell over here; it seems that the products are the same and the way they arranged things have never been changed since i went here more than a year ago. Sungguih pudar kedai nih, totally different from the one Corezone store i just went to. Pusing punya pusing punya pusing aku tak jumpa gak fly sheet, so i asked the sales girl. and you know what... they have run out of the items since yesterday. Bloody hell... memang bazir masa aku je! In the end, since i didn't want to make my effort a total vain, i ended up buying 30m rope and a bunch of tent pegs. In total of RM30.

11km run at Putrajaya on Sunday nite.

i never run on Sunday nite before, in fact never run more than 5km at my gymm. but yesterday was an awesome experience, i ran 11km at Putrajaya my usual running spot. To be frank, i was so exhausted after the run which completed at 10pm but mentally strengthened myself to cook for my late dinner and wash dirty clothes. I burned 1353kcal and maintained an average heart rate of 161, the highest rate was at 181 beats per min. i think that was one of the intense results i have so far. Total time to complete the run is 1 hour 26 minutes. i went out in the morning before, thinking that i must make my usual 10km run. Anyway, because the time was not appropriate, kinda of late already and the whether was not promising. i can hear the thunder and see black clouds coming to Putrajaya so i cancelled off my plan. It was actually because all the running gears were there except the fact that my heart rate detector was out of battery; i was already in my warm up before the run than i realise that the heart rate did not work. I returned to the car and momentarily thought that i should postpone this cause besides the battery problem, there were so many unsupportive signs telling me that i should not run, like i woke up late, couldn't find the route for the marathon at last spending wasted time driving around Putrajaya, whether was bad and it was already half past freaking nine morning. If i were to go on running, by the time i finish it would probably noon. Anyway, yesterday's nite run was something a different cause i took an additional path making a circle around PICC which added up additional close to 2km and the fact that it was on Sunday nite, where today it's a working day and i'm still wasting time not going to office doing my freaking blog. Dah.. dah.. dah time to go to office now!

Spending on outdoor attires

Harini memang mcam orang kaya aku spend gilerbabi banyak utk barang2 hiking kat store yang jual branded items untuk mende2 yang ciput sahaja; eg xtralite fast outdoor shirt, pants, cold jacket ngn ntah mende2 yg kecik saja. Tapi disebabkan jenamanya yg dasyat maka harganya beribu lemon dashyat jugak. Hanya utk beberapa mende that was less than 10 items i have spent more than RM700. and that was considered fortunate cause there was no proper & light tent at the store in which that was the initial plan why we have gone out to the store, otherwise the expenditure for today would rocket up unbelievably high. If my financial expense for today is converted into a human fatal disease, it'd be equivalent to a heart attack level 4. One'd would be recommended for an electric shock to recover for his pass out.

Anyway, this kind of insane spending on items that was jarang2 guna is not my frequent habit. The fact that i committed such sin was because i just received my bonus few days ago and also the fact that i got my salary increase. So i thought, as a gift for me for being so fucking cheap in everything, i'd say a treat like this would be worthy. At least i can see for real that the financial suffering that i go through everyday is worth a while; bukannya spending on some vacation shit somewhere out of country which in the end, personally i feel takde mende pon ko dapat. Anyway, that's other people's interest.

For those who have experience in jungle tracking or expedition in mountain climbing in particular, lightweight is a life saver. So by having good quality tools with you is something that you cannot put it aside. When you were under extreme and tensed scenario in a jungle, every weigh and size matters and the more tools you have with you the better; thus everything you bring along must be extra light, small in size, dry fast and must be in its highest quality. Well, experience taught me well enough; i suffered a lot in my last experience to Tahan mountain.

520 kcal burn in 30min run

As usual, i spent out running in the early weekends morning. I managed to burn 520kcal at an average 154 beat per min heart rate. I actually planned to have a 10km run tonight at Putrajaya but since it would be a waste of time doing nothing useful in early morning, so why not burn some calories. But 8:15am, i finished running and arrive at my apartment area to cool down myself. My weigh has dropped from 66.2kg to 65.5kg after the workout.

Finished washing my office clothes and this time instead of drying them under the fan inside the house, i hanged them outside so they'll get direct hot morning sunlight. I usually don't do this cause worrying that it might rain outside & it normally was late already when i finished washing my clothes, but this time cause it's still too early i was confident they'll get dry soon enough just before noon.

At half past nine, i received a phone from my girlfren saying that she was already at KL, in fact was outside participating in a run race event and just finished her run. Well, she becomes quite astonishingly active lately. Yesterday, she participated in a family-day-type event organised by companies under which her brother in law works for. She had join fr 10km run and got a hamper because she managed to finish in a qualifying time; 1 hour 5 min. This is really an outstanding outcome for a sick lady like her, i bet nobody would believe her achievement with her good active life style this if they know that she is concurrently suffering from two critical diseases which are fatal, and she needs to attend for kimo sessions twice in a month.  This time, she was at Bukit Jelutong joining for a 10km run under Sime Darby. I pray for her health and long life. Luv you.

Someone has googled my name

This is weird. When i typed my name on the google text field for searching purpose, in the middle of typing it before completing, google auto completes my name. This means someone out there has already searched my name! eiisyh dasat2x. I hope my children are some of those internet searchers.

a safe life

This week is a week of mmmmm what i should refer as... i guess a moment of truth. Everyone knows their performance result of last year. In general there will be 2 main groups of people; the first group will be excited, happy, content and satisfactory with the result they get from the management on their yesteryear performance whereas the other one whom is unfortunate will be frustrated, upset, feeling down and even have a flash of mind wanting to commit suicide. perhaps the other one in between of the 2 groups would be the ones who don't care fucking less about the shit of the performance. Well, i admit i'm one of those guys. What can i say, living the shit out of the working culture under babi-sonnomabotch rapai and his gang kaki jilat, has made me sunk down to the bottom of the floor without being able to show that i'm as good as the other performer.  The fact that, my performance result for the rest of the-ones-that-have-ever-remember-until-now show that i'm just an averager, not up to achiever level neither at the non-performer has resulted in me being at the safe side. The risk of being in such group is my career is doomed to a crappy shit! i cannot moved up further for my self development and i can only be as stagnant as previous; only observing other junior kaki-jilat bastards climbing up the ladder.

Aaahh.. tak kesah lah, as long as aku safe kat sini, tiap2 bulan gaji masuk dalam akaun. aku happy buat kerje ikut suka hati aku cam kompeni ni bapak aku punya, ikut suka datang kerje pukul berapa and balik kerje pon suka hati aku. Pergi mampos telekong!


Anyway, from other angle, Terima kasih aku amat appreciate kat telekong dan sumer bos2 bangsat yang bagi aku kerje sampai sekarang kat telekong dan sentiasa rate aku kat average level, pastu bagi gaji kat aku tiap2 bulan tanpa fail. Memang padan muka aku, takde saper pun lebih padan muka banding ngan aku sebab mampos keras tempat sama kerja sampai sekarang. Aku amat appreciate gak kat kompeni telekong ni sebab bagi peluang kat aku buat kompeni macam bapak aku punya kompeni, so amat berbaloilah dgn sumbangan kerja aku ngan gaji yang aku dapat.

New tetra collection for my aquarium

I just bought couple of fish for my tank and they are all tetra family. The last fish i recently bought at Midvalley turned out to be not healthy, i think it was because of that in the end most of my fish including the present ones in the tank were dead also, leaving 3 different species; they yellow algae eater ( i'm surprised cause usually they were the ones who die first), the golden tetra and the rummy nose. Now after putting everyone altogether , my tank looks full again with variety of tetra species; 5 red zebra tetra, one peculiar tetra which i dunno the name and my favourite ones cardinal. I hope they can live long enough.

Unfortunately when i dipped the plastic bags filled with the new fish into my tank, 3 of them have shown some symptoms of early stage of dying. Dipping the bag into the tank water for at least 20minutes or more is a routine that you should do whenever buying new fishes before you let them mix with the new tank water; this routine is called familiarisation of water temperature. Total cost of buying additional 25 tetras is RM59. That the same cost for my entire week expense! Giler costly maintaining aquarium fish ni..

Discovering tiger footprint on last day at Taman Negara

We decided to make a more challenging activity on our last day at Kuala Tahan National Park, so we thought of have tracking on our own to one of the Bumbum in Taman Negara deep in the jungle. One of which not really far that requires 3 hours go and return way and its distance is only 3.1km from Mutiara resort, named Bumbum Tabing (1st time i heard the name, i mistakenly thought it was Bumbum Kambing, heh). the route to Bumbum Tabing would be the same as the route towards Tahan Mountain, where after 1 hour tracking, ones need to make a right turn towards bumbum Tabing.

We left off our chalets early in the morning & stopped by at the nearby stall for our breakfast. We plan to finish of our tracking and return back to our chalet before 12 noon, so that we have ample time to check out & intended not to be charged extra; additional of 1 hour for RM10. The first landmark before going off into the jungle was a big signboard showing the direction to several locations with their corresponding distances. At first, the tracking route was easy because we only need to walk along the fibre structure pathways; then it ended because there was still ongoing construction to continue laying down fibre pathways. The jungle started to get thicker and less sun lights with higher humidity. We encountered few wild animals on our way such as a pair of wild black chicken-like animals crossed the tracking path ahead of us, wild monkeys on top of us making noises. There were plenty of animal footprints on the track, most of which were either the malayan antelopes or mouse deers. Then after half an hour of non-stop tracking, i noticed several unusual footprints; i was not quite sure at first so i quickly signalled my girlfren to stop walking and both of us check on the footprints carefully. I was definitely 100% certain that they were belonged to harimau belang! and they were still fresh!.. we thought of cancelling our plan and have no 2nd thought of returning back to the base camp. There was no need to take risk, especially there were only 2 of us. I definitely didn't want to take any foolish chance since today was the last day of our stay at Kuala Tahan.

On our return to the base we stumbled upon a pair of british couple, so we warn them about our encounter. I believed they took our word cause once we arrive at the Perhilitan office, we saw them passing us. The Perhilitan people at the office reassured us that the photo we took earlier on the footprints were belonged to the tiger.

Perhaps, next time if i were with few more people i would certainly go on further tracking deeper until i reach Bumbum Tambing. Maybe next time...

10km run on early Sunday morning

Just came back from my 10km run at Putrajaya. i never plan that i'd run today until in this early morning when i woke so early on weekend like this (half past 5), i thought why not kill my time by doing something sweaty, moreover i miss out my gym workout, so i consider this as a payment for yesterday's. left 7am because i still sort of hesitant whether i should go off or not and anticipating whether the weather is fine. arrived at 7:20 and did some warm up, finally started running at 7:30am. I only have taken a fresh banana for my breakfast just before the run, i hope i'd be okay.

The run was at a moderate speed, it was not too fast and neither too slow; I passed high story building of Wanita, keluarga & masyarakat, the roundabout, uphill to PICC and reached the traffic light infront of PICC and made a U-turn towards the Putrajaya mosque at the other end of the long stretching 6-lanes road. When i passed by Wisna Tani on my left, it was already 10 minutes past 8. If it were not because i had done this routine & had an experience previously, i would most probably stop and have a rest before reaching the end. I finally finished within 1 hour and 10 minutes; still fulfil the qualifying time for any 10km marathon. By the time when i arrived at the Mosque compound, buses from foreign tourists have already started to jam up the place. I guess our place is a favourite for chinese-like foreigner like either hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan or singapore. Everytime i see the tourist here, they would be those groups of people. Have a cool down period for half a hour and head back home.

It was undeniably tiring but at the same a fulfilling one.

Google Calendar

I never noticed about so many features that Google has offered to their users aka potential customers until today when i just click one link called Calendar. Honestly speaking after trying a simple creation of event in my newly Calendar, i think this is quite handy tool especially when i am always using Google Blogger. It has the same feature as my typical Microsoft inbox calendar so i don't find it difficult and awkward to use. I'm thinking to use it as my regular reminder. thumbs up Google! i love it.

Anti virus expired

I just realised that my anti-virus that bought earlier has already expired. No wonder i kept on getting this irritating message from Avira antivirus icon on the right bottom of my desktop untiringly kept reminding me over and over like-nothing-else-to-do; and i thought of there was some kind of error on my PC. Well, looks like i have to renew it and might be using a different one and not Avira. I should do some googlings.

Currently, what i have in my  mind are the followings. I did some simple google researches comparing of the features and prices.

1. avast! Internet Security - USD39.99 = 122.589
2. AVG Internet Security 2012 - USD54.99 = 168.57
3. Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 - USD59.95 = RM183.777
4. Avira Internet Security 2012 - RM119

It's obvious that Avira is the lowest of all, however according to the reviews that i have scanned through, there are not many feedback givers that recommend Avira as oppose to the threes. In fact when i compare the features amongst the fours, i guess there are not much that Avira has offered. So price vs values do speak here! I think i'm going for avast based on the simple feedback & reviews i've checked. I'm surprised that many reviews condemned AVG especially the free one because it was said that the program uses the memory resource of your computer and in the end it makes your PC damn slow, even crippled.

The date of comments were way back 2009 though. 1st and 2nd links.
