Yup...you guessed it..its been 5 years 8 months and 10 days since the last post....today's post its all about keeping this blog alive...and showing Akim my blog...as an example for his blog creation for his Computer Club. 5 years man..its been a long time..whats new?....

Here is some pictures of the family when we visited Hong Kong Disneyland in November 2013. Until we meet again...Syncrow out....

It's been a long time since i update the post....with all the assignments need to be done, i find it hard to jot down a few words in my blogs....there's a lot of things happening in the past 2 months...with the fasting month and now near the end of Raya month..this week full of invitation to Raya open houses...starting with Hamdi (UTM friend) from 1 pm then at night there's Esa open houses and on sunday at 5 Abg Zam's house....it goes on untill night and continued on monday (because monday is deepavali and its holiday).

Hari Raya was fun, we went back to Batu Pahat on the raya eve, we arrived in muar (Mom's house) just a minute before azan magrib, and we got to bebuka puasa on the last day in muar. and then about 9 pm we're off to batu pahat, because this year we're celebrating raya in Batu Pahat.

Enough about hari raya...on the 9th of October we all went to KLIA to see Abang off to Dubai, he'll be working there for the next 3 months, Kak Shidah was so sad seeing Abang about to leave for Dubai... here's some pictures on what going on....

OSX on a Dell Inspiron 1420

Here's a picture taken earlier today of a Mac OS X Leopard running on a Dell Inspiron 1420. Its booting from a portable hard drive, I'm checking whether all the hardware are compatible with the OSX before proceeding installing the OSX on that Dell. Unfortunately...that version (distro) of OSX, kalaway 10.5.2 are not that compatible with that dell, the wifi/ethernet ain't running, there's no sound..but the graphic were smooth..there is no jerkyness when moving the windows across the screen. Reading on an installation guide from wiki.osx86project.org...it did mention that inspiron 1420 works well with Leo4Allv3 10.5.2....with some minor teaks and patch need to be done before OSX runs smoothly on that type of machines...before anything could be done..firstly, i need to get a hold of a copy of Mac OSX installation disk....and for that, i need to torrent it....maybe tommorow it would be finised downloading...then i need the help of Toriq to install it....the installation needs some wicked scripting and tweaks that only a mac user know how....Owh..did i forget to mention that Dell is mine?....yup...just came by courier yesterday...i actually ordered it online last week on monday...the last day of pc fair...they have a sweet deal for that last day.....they throw in 2GB ram and 250 GB HDD for the price of rm 2400++. The decision to buy a laptop came when we find it hard to do my assignments, labs and lily presentations without our own laptops...It comes with windows vista home basic, a intel core 2 duo T5750 2 GHz, 2 Gb Ram, 250 Gb HDD and other things like bluetooth and sd card reader here's a few pictures of the notebook....

the colour is ruby red, something different from a normal black colour laptops

when opened....

Running on Vista Home Basic for now....i'll to make it a dual boot...

Well...can't wait for the OSX to finish downloading...need to used OSX leopard...trying something different for a change.....

08.08.08

It's 08.08.08, thought i post something before the day ends...its a historical date...its the number that the Chinese thought would bring good fortune..and the the Chinese believe it means rich..so if you are rich and drive a big ass car...you should have number 8 as your number plate, preferably 8888....No wonder the Beijing Olympics is today...i wonder how hard they persuade the Olympics committee to pick them to the 2008 Olympics....

Other historical moment is Azly (my office mate) nikah, somewhere in Jitra, Kedah....people loves to do weddings on certain dates....and 08.08.08 is the most sort out dates to do weddings.... I my self loves 07.07.07..... i love numbers involing 7....it's not my lucky number and it never brings me luck but i just like the number 7....

ok....i need to get ready to go to Su's house..need to visit Pak Jang..he'll be doing an angiogram tomorrow...so i thought might as well see how is he doing....Chow...

Say it ain't so

Add a new page element on this blog just now....Videos from YouTube...Its by Weezer , Say it ain't so from the The Blue Album... released in 1994, it was called the blue album because it has no title..so people refer it to blue album because the colour of the album was blue....

I remember the first time i heard it, it was back in 1995, at that time i was at Kolej Mara Banting, studying A-levels Accounting, back then i thought i would be an accountant one day... and along the way i realized that accountancy was not my thing...i could never pulled it off..and got interested in computers instead..and the rest is history... Anyway back to the story... a friend of mine back then by the name of Hafiz ( He is now an Engineer somewhere in JB) introduced me to Weezer and the blue album...and saw my first music video of Buddy Holy on his laptop.... I was so amazed on how a video can be played on a laptop...back then the computer was not that hi-tech... intel pentium 75 Mhz, 8mb of ram, 2mb of vga, 2GB of hardisk space and a sound blaster sound card and you good to go ( that spec was our house first pc..and the pc are still there in Muar and i bet i can get it working again...)

The other day when i was browsing through YouTube, i found videos from Weezer, and it got me reminisence the good old days...back in 1995..back then i was young..eager to explore new things and i was in love....hence it got me changing the title of this blog to We're Going To Party Like Its 1995 !!!...

Ahh...what a good year that was...all i have from that year was memories and experience...my A-Level went up in smoke, and i burried my dreams to be and accountant somewhere in the Kolej MARA Banting grounds....but i still have Hafiz's Blue Album cassette somewhere in Muar ( Sorry Apis..i know you were furious when couldn't find the cassette...it was me who took it... muahahahaha)

Bored Out Of My Skull 2/ Dieting

I'm bored like hell...there is nothing to do...no job or what so ever...and furthermore I'm hungry like hell...todays breakfast consist of a Hi-5 chocolate bun and plain water. Wonder why a sudden change in breakfast rather than the normal rm 1.20 nasi lemak on the side of the road in Jenderam or Lily's Nasi Goreng or Mee Hoon...sadly to say...i'm on a diet... I've bitching about my weight for quite some time now....my weight have been steadily increasing since i'd stopped smoking about 2 years ago... i'm quite worried about my weight, because my feet starts to hurt when i climbed the stairs and i'm easily out of breath...so i thought..i have to start somewhere.... so officially yesterday i set out on my journey on dieting.... if i can see any progrees let say i lost a kilo this week...i can say the diet is working...

I was amazed by NoktahHitam, in one of his post in his blog, he says that the was able to loose 16kg in a month by dieting...so what the hell...if i'm able to loose only 5 kg in a month than it is surely a success...loosing weight is much much harder than gaining them... My biggest problems is rice... as long as i remembered..i have to have at a least a meal with rice....and i ate them a lot...usually three plates of rice whether for lunch, dinner or breakfast(in a form of nasi lemak, nasi berlauk, nasi dagang, nasi kerabu)... so the hardest thing for me is #1..refraining myself from eating a lot...#2..Getting through the day without nasi... i know if i'm able to do this for at least 2 - 4 weeks ...my body will get used of having little food.. the uncontrolable hunger and headache will stop.... i guess....

For now....i'll be having this piece of roti arab for lunch....oo man this hunger is killing me....

You are Connected to the Internet ....

Finally....there's an internet connection in my new house...the TM vendor activated my phone last Tuesday....but sadly there is no internet...the lady who handles my change of address in TM point Cyberjaya were on leave on monday and tuesday..so just today that she was able to asked the TM guys to set the jumper for my streamyx....

When i got home...at about 7 pm, i connected my modem to my phone line....the dsl lights starts blinking slowly...it was a sign that there's no dsl connection.....but i waited some more....and suddenly the lights starts blinking rapidly and and stayed on lit...

Then i start dialing to streamyx using my computer...dialling....validating username and password...registering your computer to the network....You are connected to the Internet.....Walla....and i'm now online...connected to rest of the world ...using the crapiest dsl connection that TM can offer...

Took a few pictures of my new computer room an few others stuff...
