I'm suprised because the picture actually taken using SE750i camera phone, hence the resolution is actually quite low...

Another photo stolen!!!
Nehh..... this site is just borrowing one of my photos taken in Copenhagen back in March. I must admit this has been done professionally... they actually sent an email asking for my consent, to which I oblige (since i'm a nice guy) ^_^

Feel like winning a jackpot!!
Wow... such an amazing feeling! The day that I've hoped for more than a year has finally arrived.
Apa yang kecoh sangat lar?
Apa yang kecoh sangat lar?
Da big boss in my company asked me to 'take over' this babe la... KIA Sportage 2007 version, 2.0L, 16-valve DOHC CVVT, 140 hp @ 6000 rpm, 136 lb-ft @ 4,500 rpm with BOTH 5-speed manual and 4-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. Company car. Period. Well... not quite.... still got more things to say here in my blog corner... ^_^
Note: Censored number plate to ensure confidentiality...err...i mean privacy.
My dream car is actually Nissan X-Trail (so humble eh!) but since I laid my eyes on this car and personally have driven it in 'special' occasions in the past, I've always hope that some day (more like some time in October last year) I can drive this car around on a daily basis... to work and jalan-jalan.
Heheheee... I am actually grinning from ear to ear right now as I'm writing this posting. What a privilege... I don't have to tighten my belly to pay huge deposit for this car or to pay ridiculously big installments monthly or to feed it with litres of fossil fuel every other day and spend lots of $$ to maintain it... cos all of these will be taken care by the company!! Best of all is that da big boss ask me to sell my own car cos I told him there is only one parking bay allocated to me at my apartment area...
A quick check on its popularity and reliability in the SUV market over the internet, KIA Sportage ranked no. 8 in the world and suprisingly Honda CRV topped the list with best overall ratings. But one statistic caught my attention about the KIA Sportage, which is the safety rating, i.e. 9.7 out of 10! Why you may ask? I think the 6 air bags enclosed within the car may have helped in the crash test. 'Safe' cars are good for family man like myself... as I can now feel safer with my kid travelling in the car.
No, I didn't beg da big boss for this, although I did ask about company cars prior joining this company last year. And of course I know everything comes with a price. I know I will have to work twice as hard from now on to generate more income for the company. Hope me and my team can sail through the recession (or depression!) period which could just happen in the months to come. According to a common belief and as a famous scenario in get-rich-scheme books, there will be some kind of economic turnmoil every 10-12 years cycle and by taking 1997 into consideration, next year would be the 'last year' that it could probably surface, yet again. But this time I expect myself to be hit by the so-called recession period, since now I am now the breadwinner of the family. Time to save up and send more company invoices out to chase for money!!
Love ur ABC
Stole these words of wisdom and encouragement from somewhere...
Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits. Believe in urself. Consider things from every angle. Don't give up, and don't give in. Enjoy life today; yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may never come. Family and friends are hidden treasures; seek them and enjoy their riches. Give more than u planned to give. Hang on to ur dreams. Ignore those who try to discourage u. Just do it. Keen on trying; no matter how hard it seems; it will get easier. Love urself first and most. Make it happen. Never lie, cheat or steal; always strike a fair deal. Open ur eyes and see things as they really are. Practice makes perfect. Quitters never win, and winner never quit. Read, study and learn about everything important in ur life. Stop procrastinating. Take control of ur own destiny. Understand urself in order to better understand others. Visualize it. Want it more than anything. eXcel at doing ur best. You can do anything you set out to do. Zero in on your target and go for it.
Very good eh?!!

Turn your PSP into a GPS navigator
No more comments about politics in the country at the moment and I've turned my attention to something else....
I first heard about this about 3 weeks ago when my wife told me a colleague had a PSP with a GPS capability. So I went surfing on www looking for verification and was truly excited... that the GPS thingy is real and it's already in the world (at least within the geeks' world) for 2 years already. Was damn excited because I've always wanted to have a 'mobile' gadget with maps in it (satellite, street maps etc.) and with GPS I can see where I am and directs me to the place I want to be. And it's better to bring this mobile thingy with gps capability along than large printed maps or books (e.g. Klang Valley road maps).
Mobile devices like phones & pda have usually small display screens... so not that shiok I think for navigation. I've not explored the iphone but I guess it's difficult to fix or lock-on to the GPS satellites if you don't have an external GPS antenna attached to your device (any). Another issue could be the accuracy and speed as I've discovered that it takes longer time at a lesser accuracy to lock-on to the satellites if you have a built-in thingy instead of the external ones.
So ok, enough of introduction and now here's a brief tutorial on how to turn your PSP into a GPS navigator like mine:
1. Buy a PSP, if you do not have one already. Go to Low Yat, plenty of choice. Compare, bargain and specify for a customized firmware (this is more like operating system for the PSP), so that you can play downloadable games from www (via file sharing e.g. torrent). My firmware is 3.90 M33 and it gives me a lot flexibility in customizing my PSP. Price: RM 550-770, depending on your accessories and add-ons.
2. Get a GPS receiver, mine is PSP-290, made in Japan. No manual comes with it and the text on the neat packaging box is all in Japanese. Get this gadget in Low Yat or online. Have had a bad experience with online purchase before, so I decided to buy this on the spot in Low Yat. Price: RM 200+. Very easy to hook-up to the PSP.
3. Download Map This! application. Look up in the www for more info, but believe me, you wouldn't want to read hundred of threads in forums and spend hours (like me) just to get started. Un-rar it after downloading it from deniska.dcemu.co.uk, copy the folder into your PSP (e.g. E:\PSP\Game\mapViewer), where 'E' is presumably the drive of your memory stick duo (after hooking-up your PSP to your PC/laptop via USB, or via a USB card reader).
4. Run the Map This! on your PSP and you'll discover a default map, i.e. New York City or something. But since you are in Malaysia, you'll need local maps (of course!).
5. Download Global Map Download Tool (GMDL), the current version is 5.08b. You can use this to download various maps over the www. Not very stable, freezes most of the time if you have large downloads (>20MB)... even MS Windows or Internet Explorer crashes from time to time wat!! Before download you need to specify your map area (aerial/satellite, road/street or hybrid etc.), zoom resolution and the destination folder for the download. Create a folder with any name you want but importantly put an underscore (_) at the beginning of your file name (e.g. _Damansara.street.maps), else Map This! would not be able to access the maps' folder. Copy the maps' folder to your PSP\Game\mapViewer\maps folder and if everything is alright, Map This! will display the name of your folder (in the 'select map' menu) just after the startup of this pocket mapViewer application. The bigger your storage card you have on your PSP, the more detailed or larger maps you can store and use.
Here are some snap shots on my PSP with the GPS:

Tips: It should just take you 1-2 days to get all these up and running, else you'll have to search for more info on the www (tutorials on youtube) or just leave a comment here and I'll get back to you with some answers.
Happy geeking and tweaking!!

Stupid Stumid
According to Stumid, the reporter was held because she was believed to be under threat and NOT A THREAT to the national security. What a pile of bull shit.... then why use ASI? Who authorises the use of it in the first place? If it is the police as he claimed, then we the people are troubled a lot because the country are really in police state!! You dun need to slap someone with ASI just to interrogate somebody. This Stumid think we, the ppl of this bolehland are stupid? Bengap betul si Stumid ni... cilakak betul!!
Released!!
Got the news that the reporter was released. Apa hal dengan kerajaan ni ar? Pundek betul lar... boleh suka-suka tangkap orang lepas tu kasi lepas suka-suka... lepaskan RPK dan Teresa Kok jugak la si baruah Belasan Natiunal!! (ditujukan khas kepada si Bodowi, Stumid dan kroni-kroninya!). Wow... what a nice feeling after saying these in bahasa... what damaging can it be to you when someone of different race or culture mock or scold you in your own native tongue? Hurtful? That's exactly my point.
But there's one moral story behind the expedite release of the reporter: Makkal Sakti!!
You see people, the government is nothing, I repeat, NOTHING without its people. Any more unwarranted arrest would undermined the governments' credibility even further down the hole/point of no return. Bloody fools!!! Don't get the fear into you... that's what the natiunal's policies are doing to us...to 'silent' the majority i.e. the level and clear headed ppl which can distinguish what is right and what is not. So let's stand together now as citizens of bolehland, speak up and be counted!! (of course do it discretionally la... pakai otak sikit la brader!).
Let's stop talking about our indulgence for food and hobbies etc. (nothing that really matters as compared to the direction or where the country is heading right now, thanks to the apartheid-based policies laid down by Mahatiao and his disciples in this country). Let's start barking on REAL issues at this point of time and capitalize on momentum of 'wave of change' started by the opposition in this country. I hope too see a bigger political tsunami in the country and wash out the shallow-minded, racist and not-so-smart politicians (believe me, these group of ppl are small, i.e. minnows) and reduce the racists' down to their knees.... for the country's sake!! Like a saying I once read, this is my country, I'm born here. But do I want to be marginalised or die because of political hegemony and obscurantist doctrine - NO WAY man!!!
p/s: thanks to the national education system, i can maki hamun in so-called native language of bolehland and mother-tongue of some... go figure.
Here's my spectacular signal for 'dissent':
http://www.malaysiakini.com/ - news and views that matters
p/p/s: 916 or 920 may not happen after all, but who cares? What really matter is the cause and effect of the promise... will eventually prevail in the next GE (13, auspicious number for some?), I hope. If I'm still around that is.
