My place is 0.26KM away from the nearest Streamyx Port and therefore no broadband for me, so I was quite pissed for the pass year as I can't get broadband in my place... Finally my future looks a little brighter when my brother informed me that he saw an article in yesterday's The Sun stating that Jaring is offering broadband nationwide.

So I called Jaring straight to ask, and they said that my place may not have it since they need to apply from telekom to offer the service, so i was told to make a "booking" online.

So I went to http://www.jaring.com.my/broadband/index.html?cont=area to check if it was available before i register for it. Hurah!! my number appeared, so I called Jaring 0389917080 (now it's 24/7, Good Work!) again to confirm. They were still saying that I need to put in a registration... so I filled up the form and am keeping my fingers crossed...

You can check out the packages at http://www.jaring.com.my/broadband/index.html?cont=flite_package

RM75 Registration (jaring Dialup users Free... that's me!)
RM79 Per month for 1Mbps (unlimited ) -finally something cheaper than sCreeeAmYx!
Modem FREE! but i guess it'll be the standard ADSL modems anyway...

So wish me luck....

P/S: I wonder if Jaring gonna pay me anything for advertising here... hahaha

USD$100 Laptop

I just love this laptop. Don't mind paying double the price for it... love the hand crank... you can wind the thing for a minute and you get 10minutes of power! Cool! I wonder why the standard laptops do not have that feature...it's a godsend for travellers...Too bad this laptop not in production yet and not for sale. Check it out at http://laptop.media.mit.edu/

Here's a report...
Nicholas Negroponte has been promoting this idea of the $100 PC <http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000313029623/> for the developing world for a while now, and he’s now showing off the proposed prototype with specs and some more details on how to implement the plan. The design calls for a laptop with 500 MHz processor, 1GB memory, four USB ports and a dual-mode display usable in full-color or in black-and-white, sunlight-readable mode. Power will be provided either via conventional electric current, batteries, or via a windup crank attached to the side of the notebook for usage in remote regions without a power grid. The systems will be WiFi-enabled and able to connect via cellular networks, as well as including built-in mesh networking allowing multiple machines to share a single internet connection. Negroponte is working with MIT and five companies (Google, AMD, News Corp., Red Hat and BrightStar) to develop an ambitious 5 to 15 million test systems within the year, to be purchased at $100 a pop by governments in Brazil, China, Thailand, Egypt and South Africa and distributed for free to students. They’re also now considering licensing the design for third parties to commercialize, with revenue cycling back into the One Laptop Per Child project.

99 THINGS GIRLS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GUYS

Any Comments? 

This is a looooooooooooooooooooooog list!!!


1. Guys don't actually look after good-looking girls. They prefer neat and presentable girls.
2. Guys hate flirts.
3. A guy can like you for a minute, and then forget you afterwards.
4. When a guy says he doesn't understand you, it simply means you're not thinking the way he is.
5. "Are you doing something?" or "Have you eaten already?" are the first usual questions a guy asks on the phone just to get out from stammering.
6. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
7. When a guy really likes you, he'll disregard all your bad characteristics.
8. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.
9. Guys will do anything just to get the girl's attention.
10. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend.
11. When guys want to meet your parents. Let them.
12. Guys want to tell you many things but they can't. And they sure have one habit to gain courage and spirit to tell you many things and it is drinking!
13. Guys cry!!!
14. Don't provoke the guy to heat up. Believe me. He will.
15. Guys can never dream and hope too much.
16. Guys usually try hard to get the girl who has dumped them, and this makes it harder for them to accept their defeat.
17. When you touch a guy's heart, there's no turning back. (So girls touch ur guys heart)
18. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...never mind!" would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking.
19. Guys go crazy when girls touch their hands.
20. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.
21. When a guy makes a prolonged "umm" or makes any excuses when you're asking him to do you a favor, he's actually saying that he doesn't like you and he can't lay down the card for you.
22. When a girl says "no", a guy hears it as "try again tomorrow."

51. You have to tell a guy what you really want before getting involved with that guy.
52. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be matured and grow up.
53. When an unlikable circumstance comes, guys blame themselves a lot more than girls do. They could even hurt themselves physically.
54. Guys have strong passion to change but have weak will power.
55. Guys are tigers in their peer groups but become tamed pussycats with their girlfriends.

72. Don't be a snob. Guys may easily give up on the first sign of rejection. (So don't play with a guy you really like, you will lose him)
73. Don't be biased. Try loving a guy without prejudice and you'll be surprised.
74. Girls who bathe in their eau de perfumes do more repelling than attracting guys.
75. Guys are more talkative than girls are especially when the topic is about girls.
76. Guys don't comprehend the statement "Get lost" too well.

79. Guys don't care about how shiny their shoes are unlike girls.
80. Guys tend to generalize about girls but once they get to know them,they'll realize they're wrong.

85. When a guy is conscious of his looks, it shows he is not good at fixing things.
86. When a guy looks at you, either he's amazed of you or he's criticizing you.
87. When you catch him cheating on you and he asks for a second chance, give it to him. But when you catch him again and he asks for another chance, ignore him.
88. If a guy lets you go, he really loves you.
89. If you have a boyfriend, and your boy best friend always glances at you and it obviously shows that he is jealous whenever you're with your boyfriend, all I can say is your boy best friend loves you more than your boyfriend does.
90. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience. (They learn it the harder way)
91. You can tell if a guy is really hurt or in pain when he cries in front of you!
92. If a guy suddenly asks you for a date, ask him first why.
93. When a guy says he can't sleep if he doesn't hear your voice even just for one night, hang up. He also tells that to another girl. He only flatters you and sometimes makes fun of you. 94. You can truly say that a guy has good intentions if you see him praying sometimes. (So girls you gotta give good guys a chance too, they are generally shy about girls)
95. Guys seek for advice not from a guy but from a girl.
96. Girls are allowed to touch boys' things. Not their hair!
97. If a guy says you're beautiful, that guy likes you.
98. Guys hate girls who overreact. (So don't be too demanding or complaining)
99. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.

Penang Trip



Went to Penang last wednesday, but reached there at about 1AM, so not much to do, went to the hotel straight right after some wicked Chee Cheung Fan and Rojak. Pretty Far as we need to travel about 4-5 hours and the toll costs about 50 bucks.
The next morning we checked out about 10AM and head for Lim's Chicken Rice, went up to Kek Lok Si before headed to somewhere near Sg Petani (taking the ever Popular Penang Ferry - where the photo is taken)for Super Cheap Asam Laksa. It costs only RM1.50!!! Damn! u can't even get a roti telur in KL sometimes. I don't mind paying RM4 for it also as there were like tons of fish but as usual Adam had to complain that it taste like Tissue, which I can't figure out as I don't eat Tissues... Duh...
IMG_0595After that we chilled at Ryan's Place before headed towards this ikan bakar place for some REALLY GOOD Food , somewhere in Bidong/Sg Lalang, damn! keep forgeting all the name of the places... don't think i can remember if we were to go there again.
On out way back, we stopped at one the R&R place and was fooling around in the children's playground. I haven't seen them so happy before. Well i guess it's true when they say there's a kid in everyone of us.
All in all, nice trip, nice food, and most importantly, Great company...
