Another point to note. The following pictures are from unknown author hence proper credit can't be addressed. I am a firm believer of giving credits to where it is due. Ahem. Legal plagiarism yo. So, credits to the owner. Ahem. This series of brown recluse spider bite wound pictures has been in circulation for quite sometime already I think but since I just got it so I assume there are still lots of you who have not seen the pictures. First of all, ladies and gentlemen. This is a brown recluse spider or so it says in the email. Brown Recluse Spider Looks like your ordinary house spider eh. Now kids, don't go and get yourself bitten by spiders and hope that you will become Spiderman or something. That is wrong. Even if that is possible, you are better off to go and get bitten by Bill Gates or Warren Buf

Merry Christmas 2008

WISHING ALL OF YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS It is Christmas Eve. What are your plans? Caroling all night long? Countdown with lots of booze? Whatever your poison/preferences, BenardCometh Revelations wishes all of you a happy and blessed Christmas. Stay safe, Stay Sober. Ahem. No, Christmas is not the time for you to wait for Santa Claus and demand gifts. That includes demanding gifts from your parents you greedy brats. And Christmas is no excuse for you to get wasted at some local pub/bar in an alcohol infused frenzy. (Though I have no objections to that. Amen) Christmas is actually celebrated to mark the birth of Jesus Christ. There you have it, the truth. Not some over commercialized hocus pocus. Jingle bell, Jingle bell, Jingle all the way........

Installing New Fonts How To

Image
Oh well, As simple it may seems, there are still people asking me how the heck one install fonts, extra fonts that they found or downloaded from the Internet. Thus, this post comes into existence. Tadahhhhh!!!!! Why install new fonts? Simply for the fact that one can have those decorated fonts installed for their own preferences. Or maybe one found the ultimate font that outshines, outperform, and out-whatever-you-prefer the default fonts. One font to conquer em all so to speak. However, please remember to always use professional fonts for professional use. I am sure you do not want to use decorated fonts in your resume and send for job applications, do you? Anyway, back to the post. How to install new fonts in your computer/pc/laptop. Please bear in mind that this how-to is aimed for Microsoft platform since all of those who asked are using Windows. Ahem. (If you want to install fonts in other operating systems. Ask and maybe thou shall receive. =p) First of all, please go and get the

F for Fish

Image
Recently I noticed that different areas of a mall's car park in Kuching are labeled with alphabets followed by numbers such as F3 with illustration that suppose to illustrate the alphabets. For example F for Fish. It is a good method for remembering aside from helping the kids to learn their alphabets. How considerate. However, there is just one small problem that will be mentioned later. Some of the labels that I manage to take picture of are: C for Cow D for Dinosaur E for Elephant F for Fish Oh yes. F for Fish. There is just one small problem that is very misleading. Especially for small kids. Ahem. That is a whale. A WHALE is not a FISH . A WHALE is a MAMMAL. (OMG, I am so nerdy....) Remember now kids, a whale is NOT a FISH. A Whale is a MAMMAL . F for Fish should be illustrated like the following: F for FISH p/s: Oh yeah, I am very the artistic one. Oh well, you get the idea.

Why Retrain Jobless Grads

Just read the news on the government spending RM70 million to retrain jobless graduates. GRADUATES. Quoted from theStar Online. RM70 million to Retrain Jobless Graduates The Government has approved a RM70mil grant to retrain 10,000 unemployed graduates, said Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam. He said the grant would be used to train them in skills like communication, language and creative thinking. “Some have good qualifications but their hurdle is language. So, we want to train them in English,” he said. “We want to make our unemployed graduates more marketable,” he said. What the !@!#!#!$!%$!%!% ??? Why waste more money on retraining those unemployed GRADUATES. They are GRADUATES from universities meaning that they should already have the skills and knowledge needed in their respective fields less the experience. Oh, wait. The retrain is just to train and brush up their English. In that case, that is PERFECTLY alright. NOT. That is NOT alright. Why keep on spending mon

Ditch Internet Explorer Already

Are you still using Internet Explorer as your default browser to browse the Internet? It's about time that you try other browsers such as FireFox and Chrome. I would recommend Firefox though. Heck, anything is better than Internet Explorer. Why? Well, if you have no knowledge about the many bugs and flaws that infests Internet Explorer, this is another reason why. Serious Security Flaws Found in Internet Explorer Users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer are being urged by experts to switch to a rival until a serious security flaw has been fixed. The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say. Microsoft says it has detected attacks against IE 7.0 but said the "underlying vulnerability" was present in all versions of the browser. Other browsers, such as Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, are not vulnerable to the flaw Microsoft has identified. "

Enter The Kitteh

Cats, Kittens, Felines hates me, I don't know why. But it seems that I have fate with cats since there have been few encounters with em such as described in the previous post. Recently I encountered an extremely cute kitteh and it seems to develop a liking to yours truly which is quite surprising given the history I had with felines. So, what to do when a kitteh develop a liking to you? Why, manipulate the kitteh of course as LOLCat or in this case LOLKitteh and make it into a short story. Can I Haz Food Plz  Pretty Plz?  Give Me!!!!! Damnit!! No?  I Iz Sad  I Ignore You  Grrr, I iz Angry There, end of manipulation. Now, excuse me cuz I have a kitteh to torture I have something of utmost importance to do.

I am in Sibu

Image
Sibu Kampua Yep, Some might have noticed that it has been sometime since I last updated or maybe not. Yay, I am in Sibu now. Actually have been in Sibu since Wednesday (10/12/2008). Not that I don't want to update but it is kinda hard to find any decent wifi in Sibu. Free ones that is. Internet connection should be free. That is what I believe. Anyone knows of a decent place where an Internet hunger addict such as yours truly can get his daily dosage of the Internet? In Sibu that is. Don't even get me started with dial up. Dial ups should be phased out by now, seriously. I must be crazy for saying this but suddenly I missed Slowmyx Streamyx. Compared to dial up, Streamyx is heavenly. Please don't flame me before you tried dial up and compare it with streamyx. Ahem. For the uninitiated, yes you broadband babies/generation out there. Dial up is where you dial up to the Internet using a 56k modem with the phone line plugged in that emits sound like teng teng teng ting ting ton

Married 1 Year Beaten 9 Times

This is interesting. Quoted: The most embarrassing thing is that his wife does not consider face [personal honor] when hitting someone, several times fiercely slapping my face in front of my mother and brothers [close male friends]. That time she launched a kick at me, I instinctively raised my leg to block the kick. My wife hooked my leg, sending me toppling to the ground (tragically, a tooth was lost, afterwards replaced with a gold tooth), extending my hand to block, she used her forearm on my arm and twisted, I don’t know how, and suddenly my arm was twisted behind my back, a foot bends my leg, and I am suddenly kneeling on the floor. This one point was very miserable, my hand twisted by my wife was dislocated, and I had to go to the hospital. Using half the clothes drying rack, she fiercely hit my butt, the pain making me wail. With my friend there, I had to do something to redeem my face [honor], so I grabbed the remaining half of the clothes drying rack to hit back. Even more di

Avoid Pizza Hut Seafood Lasagna

Image
Yep, people please take note that IF you HAVE to EAT at Pizza Hut located at Jalan Song, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, Earth, Solar System, remember NOT to order the Pizza Hut Seafood Lasagna there. I am not sure about other Pizza Hut eating establishments but I know for sure that the seafood lasagna at that particular branch is DEFINITELY not worth the price paid. And here I thought Pizza Hut is a franchise? Following the PROVEN system? Where is the QUALITY control? Where? Mana? Don't get me wrong. I always loved to eat at Pizza Hut which is exactly why I can make comparison between the seafood lasagna previous and now. What? Recession is it? Have to quality reduce is it? Maybe if I am a first timer to Pizza Hut then probably I would think that, oh so this is the Seafood Lasagna at Pizza Hut and will never order again. Now I feel a bit kena cheated but then again that is common in Malaysia I guess. Here, people even can get away with murder. Ahem. Anyway, the pictures of the s

Generation WE

The Movement Begins... Well, this is quite inspiring. I am considered Generation WE too since I fall into the qualifying age range. Watch Generation WE Just one question. How come it is called Generation WE when we are the generation millennium or the millennium generation? Supposed to be called Generation ME right? But then again, that would sound self centered and selfish. Aha, that is why. -_-" Anyway, I like the way the video are constructed together. A well done piece. AND again, INSPIRING. So, MALAYSIA??????

Cat's Eye Fruit aka Buah Mata Kucing

Image
Cat's Eye Fruit is actually a longan fruit variety and locally is known as Buah Mata Kucing which is literally translated as Cat's Eye Fruit. It is interesting to note that the longan name is actually derived from the chinese pronounciation which means dragon eye. However, since locally it is known as Cat's Eye aka Mata Kucing , I will still refer it as Cat's Eye Fruit aka Buah Mata Kucing aka Longan. Cat's Eye Fruit/Longan Buah Mata Kucing Please note that the Cat's Eye Fruit aka Buah Mata Kucing is not lychee fruit. Lychee fruit can be considered the big brother of Cat's Eye Fruit aka Buah Mata Kucing aka Longan. Now, yours truly shall show you the ancient secret method of opening the rind to get to the flesh. There are basically three methods you can use to open up the rind and get the flesh. First method is the macho way to show your manliness by using just three fingers to open the rind and get the flesh. First of all, pick up a cat's eye fruit

Malaysian Dreamgirl is an online reality show based on model search competition. Malaysian Dreamgirl Season 1 winner is Cindy Tey . Now, Malaysian Dreamgirl Season 2 already started its auditions for the potential candidates to be the Second Malaysian Dreamgirl. And guess what? Apparently somebody thinks I am the Dreamgirl material. Malaysian Dreamgirl Audition Oh, the excitement, the flattery, the adrenaline rush, the suprise, and "the pekataan yang sewaktu dengannya." But, there is just one problem. I am a very healthy male. A very healthy alpha male at that. Ahem. However, there is always the option of turning myself into something like in the following picture just for the sake of the audition: Female-fied Source: Google Image Yeah right. As if I will. Thanks, but no thanks. I am not exactly the William Hung material. Ahem. Side Note: Malaysian Dreamgirl online show is actually quite interesting to follow. Now for season 2, one have to take note of the lessons to learn f

How To Set Photoshop Scratch Disk

Image
Thought this might be useful to some. Recently I am working on some large files with Photoshop that involves huge memory usage hence I decided to modify the Photoshop CS3 Scratch Disk to cater for the huge memory usage even though I upgraded my system memory to 2GB earlier on just in case. Note that, if your memory allocation is not enough, more than often Photoshop will prompt an error saying that the scratch disk is full. Some just restart their computer and restart again. It works but troublesome. Now, what is Scratch Disk? Simply put, a scratch disk is virtual memory. Photoshop uses the scratch disk/virtual memory when your system does not have enough memory/RAM to perform the operation needed. By default, the scratch disk will be on the hard disk where you installed Photoshop. You can always change the scratch disk to any hard disk partition you want or even assign a second, third, fourth and so on scratch disk to be used when the primary scratch disk is full. Always remember tha
