3 nights in a row at Bukit Jalil

Last night completed my 3-night-swimming-practice. Honestly i rarely make this kind of commitment especially when it comes to swimming, however because of me realising that i have progressed remarkably within the last few weeks, i consider this as a breakthrough. Last night, i did the same thing of paddling with my hands and constantly kicking my legs. Although my face was still under the water surface while padding and making me not able to breathe, i noticed that my entire body afloat was reasonably moving stably, as oppose to the last practice where it was wobbly. Another thing which i think it was an improvement was, when i paddled using my left hand, i felt that i was more confident. I always make the bars at the bottom of the swimming pool as my mark to make note on my progress. So until now, i was able to reach 2 bars by paddling my hands and obviously holding my breath underwater. Well, i could not wait to learn on how to surface my face out of water and catch the air. Until now, just keep on practicing. I got to stop, cause i have a meeting to chair.

gopro xshot extendable arm

It's really a good news for me today. I just arrived at my office cubicle and i realized that there was a large parcel lying on my table. Not to my surprise, immediately i know that the xshot 2.0 extension arm for my gopro has arrived. i dont expect that it will arrive that soon, i was thinking it may take around 3 to 4 weeks at least, well this is based on my past experience of purchasing over ebay. Thumbs up ebay!!! it looks like my gopro will be accompanied with a handsome xshot extension arm.

New year with new goals in mind

I admit that i haven't got any reasonable excuse to explain why i have lost touch of my blog. Well, i don't to blabber wasting my time justifying myself why i'm so lazy. the fact that my blog becomes irresponsibly poor, well in fact with no post at all for the past 5 months is just & inexcusable & un-acceptable. The point is now, i wanna start it back. Making myself of returning to my old habits of jotting down my thoughts is something that i think is good, at least to my mental therapy. There were so many things have happened and yess i wont blab about them. If i think i have ample time to scribble it down, then good for you. In this particular posting, i just wanna to share one of my personal goals this year which is freestyle swimming and paragliding. As of now, i'm so into thinking of my swimming lessons. Honestly speaking, i cam say to my self that i have progressed remarkably. I started i think almost one month ago at bukit jalil pool, never had in mind that i would progress quite well like now. i only set a mildly goal that i want to be able to freestyle swim at least this year, if not the worst i can make myself move forward just by kicking. The last memory i had on swimming lesson was in 2006, where i failed to swim. I know the theory but when i dipped myself into the water, things were not as what are learnt. From thereon, it become sort of a nightmare & i'm phobia of starting another freestyle swimming lesson. Well thinks had changed now, thanx to my gf for encouraging me to go to a pool and start over again. Now, i am able to kick forward & moving afloat at the water surface. and i just started practicing using both of my hands slowly paddling the water. It was still not really in orderly fashion but i started to get the hang of it. Couldn't wait to update another posting on my progress.

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!

Location of Android SDK directory in my computer

Until now i have successfully install the basic Android SDK. what i have noticed once the installation was, it comes together with the Android SDK manager. The manager functions as a tool to download even more Android libraries. When i have downloaded the recommended libraries, it turned out that the space required to store those libraries has depleted to close to only 300Mb left. My computer starts to crawl like shit.

Few other things left that i should learn while installing the required program to run Android, such as ADK and Eclipse.

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.
