Ending and Beginning

Image
It is the last day of 2007 which means 2007 is coming to its end. If according to the lunar calendar, it is the end of the golden boar year and going to usher into the rat year. So, that would be golden rat year in 2008 I think. Yep, it comes back to the beginning of the circle. Do not understand what I am talking about? Well, read the story of the Chinese Horoscope/Zodiac and you will know. Anyway, its New Year Eve. Time to reflect back what have you done in 2007 and also plan for the 2008 resolution. Yes, you reflect and plan. Am not going to reflect and plan mine here. So --HAPPY LAST DAY 2007--

Photoshop Basics Tutorial Part 1

Image
Alright, yours truly am going to do a series of Photoshop tutorials. For those who don't know, basically Adobe Photoshop is an image manipulation software. All you need to know is that Photoshop is very very useful and by knowing how to at least operate/use Photoshop will do you more good than harm. Lets begin with the basics shall we? For those who are already very expert in Photoshop please bear with me. One have to learn how to crawl before one can walk, correct? First of all, open up Photoshop. Yes, you have to install Photoshop FIRST before you can use it and yes, you have to double click on the Photoshop icon before you can run it. Unless of course if yours are operated by voice command then that would be different. (And yep, I am trying to be funny here in case you don't know. =p) So, the first thing you will see when you run Photoshop is the WORKSPACE or the Photoshop main window. Refer to the following image which is labeled for your convenience. There are a lot of di

Lucky

Image
After all that happened, the laptop case and the car case . I am beginning to wonder whether I have a guardian angel or not. Everyone has their very own guardian angel and those angels comes in different forms. Perhaps my guardian angel happens to be asleep the time those thing happened. Sleeping on the job, so they say or maybe I have the laziest guardian angel there is. Anyway, ditch that. What to do when you know that your guardian angel is not doing a good job or is just plain lazy? You will need all the luck in the world. Yep, I need all the luck that I can get. Need to get lucky. How to get lucky? Either you just let it come to you or you can go and get lucky by force. Well, can't blame me for using force. Desperate times call for desperate measures. .............................................................. .............................................. .......................... ............. ...... .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Boulevard Madness

Image
The first hypermarket in Kuching, Boulevard had its soft opening on the 22nd December 2007. Normally, yours truly would not be bothered to go during launching or openings as he knows that there sure to be lots and lots of people rushing to send in their money. However, this time is an exception because of the nagging received from his sis. Yes, between nagging and risking his life at the rush madness, he choose risking his life. (Not to mention precious time wasted in the process of finding place to park.) Once there, the area around Boulevard are already fully parked with cars. Lots of cars. All going to Boulevard. Some even parked quite a distance and walk over, of which I would not understand why. You see, I am the type that if there is too much hassle to go and SPEND my money, I would rather go spend elsewhere. ............................................ .............................. .................. .......... ....... .... .. . . .

Almost Stolen Car

Image
Just now at around 0015 hours (It's 12:15am in case ya don't know), my car is almost stolen. Yes, yours truly am very popular with thieves and the like. After the stolen laptop case and now the nearly stolen car. Luckily I did not sleep early as I am browsing through blogs. See, Blogs are good MMMKAYYY. So, I heard my car yelling for its master (car alarm) and I rushed out to check what happened. I saw a tall dark skinned guy opening my car's door and when he saw me rushing out, he ran to a car and speed off. Upon inspection, the driver's side door keyhole has been drilled into with some type of equipment. Darn, have to fork out some moolah to repair it. Darn. Yours Truly manage to mental jot the car plate number of the car used by those bastards. Police report done. Beware of Perodua Kancil (Grey) QKT 569 Location Kuching So, those who are from Kuching might want to jot down the car plate number and try to be alert of any Kancil with the same number. It is possible th

Suicidal Rabbit

Rabbit seems to be an interesting creature. Previously there is this Mr. Rabbit Exercise and now another Rabbit is exhibiting disturbing suicidal behavior.

Commemoration

It has been more than a month since you left me. A year ago when I first set sight on you, I knew that at that instance, we were meant to be together. Up until that point in time, I never knew you existed and fate played her hand that we should be together. For that I am truly grateful. We have been together for one whole year and during that period of time, you helped me tremendously not only in my career and studies but also in the way of how life should be. You are my companion during the times when I am alone. All those memories we had, all those journey stages that we had gone through together strengthen me to be a better person. However, I took you for granted and thought that you will always be there for me in supporting and giving that extra help that I need. Yes, I am delusional in thinking that you will never leave me. Delusional indeed. Partly I am to blame for not taking care of you better although I understand that you are forced to leave me. It is not by your own free wi

Sibu Flood 2007

Image
I think most of you know this already. Especially those who are from Sarawak. My hometown, Sibu is flooded. Somebody forget to turn off their tap I guess....... Alright, that is lame.. =p Previous post on Sibu here and here . Anyway, I have some pictures emailed to me. Pictures on the Sibu Flood. It has been a while since the last time I went back. It is not as bad as the flood in Johor but still it is a flood. Anyone have more pictures for me? I am interested with the flood pictures of my hometown. And no, I am not sadistic. I don't take pleasure with other people's pain. Unlike what happened to me . I really hope that you are happy knowing the pain I have to endure from losing it. May you live forever.

Kampung Buntal

Image
***Obviously I know that the last picture "Bilian" is not seafood. For those who don't know. "Bilian" is not sea veggie either as it does not grow in the sea. It is just a local vegetable. So there. For ya revelations*** Last weekend, Sunday went to Kampung Buntal. It's a place that is famous for its seafood. So I heard. Actually went to Damai Beach Resort to pick someone up and decided to just drive over since it is nearby. Anyway, having sea view or beach view while eating shouldn't be that bad right. The view is quite nice and the food is quite good. However, I would not recommend to deliberately drive up to Kampung Buntal JUST to eat seafood. There are other nearer alternatives. However, there is this restaurant near Sematan that is worth the drive but that is another story for another time. ............................................. ................................... ........................ ............. ....... .... .. . . .

Milk Crab

Had Milk Crab to snack upon just now and it is prepared in house.(home cooking). Anyway, the reason it is called Milk Crab is because of the fact that lots of milk being one of the main ingredient.

***This is the post of the beach trip as mentioned before.*** The Holiday Chalet Sematan is located at Sematan, Kuching. It is about one hour drive from Kuching. Previous blending with nature at the beach is at Lundu which is around half and hour (or less) drive from Sematan. This time around it is a 2 days and one night trip.

Heavy Fine For Downloaders

*** For those who follow this blog, which I am sure the amount are countable using fingers. You will notice that there is a serious lack of updates. This is due to the stolen Phoenix case and yours truly doesn't have the moolah to just go and get a new rig. Not only that, yours truly been busy with the concluding of the case.(Will do a complete post on that on other day)*** I am sure by now, everyone who have Internet connection (read broadband) knows about this already. The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry warned Malaysians who download songs, video and etc to be prepared to pay a minimum fine of RM250,000 and up to Rm500,000. For more information, click here . Now, what I am curious is that how the enforcement will be. I dare say that almost all broadband users if not all, uses broadband for downloads. Before I continue, I feel the need to clarify that yours truly am not implying that he is doing illegal downloads although he is a broadband user. (If the Streamyx pa

Miniature Pinscher

Image
***Still looking for all those pictures taken during the beach trip to Sematan, so that post is delayed*** There is a new addition to the house. That means the total K9 in the house amounts to 3. Previous post on Men's Best Friend . The new addition is a Miniature Pinscher also more popularly known as Min Pin which is a breed of toy dog. Miniature Pinscher can grow up to 12 inch long or 30cm. (Small indeed) Anyway, my sister bought a female Miniature Pinscher(RM600) just for her beloved Princeton to hump satisfy its sex crazed needs . Seems like Princeton just got himself a wife. (Have to wait till the Miniature Pinscher grows a little bit bigger though) So, without further ado.......... Introducing TINKERBELL (Yes, I noticed that it is the same name as Paris Hilton's pet chihuahua. Don't ask me, ask my sis) ..................................................... Now Princeton can satisfy his lust (Need to wait till Tinkerbell grows up though- For sure he won't mind)
