    Urgh, my waist hurts like bitch. credit: Rugby-Pioneer It’s been awhile since I last played rugby (or touch rugby). I’ve already hung by boots long ago, except several occasions like MCOBA above 35. Last weekend, I needed to break a swea...

    Posted on Monday July 6th, 2009 at 04:39 in Personal, geek's life

  • What Is This ??

    Posted on Sunday July 5th, 2009 at 07:53 in geek's life

    Posted on Saturday July 4th, 2009 at 23:11 in tutorials, geek's life

    I recently bought a Nokia 5800 and asked if the shop keeper could install Garmin XT for me. Guess what? He wants to charge RM 80 (USD 20) for that! It turns out, it is pretty tough considering my lack of expertise when it comes to Symbian OS phones....

  • The Long Exhaustive List

    Posted on Wednesday June 24th, 2009 at 05:55 in Personal, geek's life

    People come and go. So do blogs. I noticed the list isn’t updated. Some blog died, some unattended, some privatized and others, still proving me wrong. Good job. Anyway, if you want to be on that list, feel free to leave a comment. But be sure...

    Remember the 3 stooges? Apparent 2 left. 3 cousins, childhood friends. Ad, Ak and Ed. Last week Ad stunned me when he told me he’s getting engaged that weekend. I was rather puzzled with his decision. 3 weeks before, it was another story. I...

  • Gossip Girl?

    Posted on Sunday May 3rd, 2009 at 16:11 in Personal, geek's life

    I spent the long weekend visiting grandma in Penang. She isn’t exactly bed ridden, the doctors wanted to keep her there. As much as I like being on the look out (for doctors), I hate hospitals. They’re filled with sick people and palliati...

    Posted on Thursday April 16th, 2009 at 11:05 in geek's life

    Back in 2003, my dad lent me one of his company car (I was also a trainee there). I used to stroll around up and down town. You know young adults, going out (dating) was the way to go. Jalan Tun Razak is a busy trunk road, bad traffic during waking ...

  • In Need of Another Screen

    Posted on Thursday March 5th, 2009 at 15:19 in business, geek's life

    One of the common flaw for having a dual 22 inch setup is resolution. Whenever I put my sketch up (in digital format), I drew to fit my screen. And I realized, not many share my view, it’s 1920 by 1080 pixels. A considerate web designer should ...

  • Problem with Windows XP SP3, FlyakiteOSX

    Posted on Sunday February 1st, 2009 at 15:57 in geek's life

    Few days ago, I installed a software to remove my-thousand-fonts. Somehow, I slipped MS san serif and everything else falls apart. It looked like the end of world! Did some googling, restore, upgrade. It still looked like minced roti canai. Last opti...
