Are you addicted yet?

// May 4th, 2009 // 4 Comments » // howto, open source

If you’ve been facebooking long enough you’ll probably are addicted to it by now. Be it updating your status oh so frequently, or playing games, or keep on refreshing your home page, or refreshing your own profile page (freak!), or simply stalking other people’s profiles, or if you’re new you’ll probably be crazy adding new friends now.

I’m one of those who likes the games there. I’m quite a powerful vampire there, among my friends that is. And ever since I found out they have Bejeweled on Facebook, I’ve been playing like crazy. Recently, quizzes have become quite a thing in there. I don’t really bother, coz some of them are just bogus or plain stupid. One example, there was a quiz testing on your arabic language. The questions were sooo easy kindergarten level like and of course I got all right (only 5 of them) and the result came out that I can speak and understand the language very well…. Excuse me?? Did NOT worth my time at all. From then on I only picked the ones I deem worthy of my brain power…. scam jek.

I think I update my status quite often, not that I’m so rajin to update it there myself. It’s because I use identi.ca – more preferred way of keeping up to date among my friends/colleagues. I get the updates in my Pidgin which is far more convenient than browsing my Facebook home page, although I sometimes check to read/reply comments. I’ve blogged before about posting to multiple sites using Pidgin – read it here. Using Pidgin also I can receive Facebook chats using some plugin, thanks to Indhran for his post here. This solves my problem on not noticing the message people send to me in there. I don’t even have to open the site and login. Coolness.

p/s: I miss my camera.

Had a blast!

So many kids running around! Cute! BBQ nite, games and plenty of talks, at least I got to know the name of some of my friends’ spouses and their kids. A few years more they’ll grow up and no longer can have fun talking in baby languages heh.

The Regency is actually quite a good place. We rented a few apartments to stay. Quite a turn up for the event. I personally didn’t expect much but everyone who was there sure made everything fun and happening. Kudos to the organizing committee.

The theme for the BBQ nite was red. Despite all the thoughts that went into it, I didn’t wear anything red… lalalala…. Sort of accidental actually, by the time I realized it, it was too late to do anything about it.

The resort staff is preparing the place for BBQ nite, it's candle lighted, well sort of

BBQ along beach – bliss!
Anyway, I’m supposed to go to OSCC dinner tonight. I had confirmed my attendance but decided not to go last minute. I haven’t really touched my laptop for a week and it feels so great. I really don’t want to ruin the ending of my week off. I’d rather spend the time with my family.

Why did I procastinate?

Somebody help me with this please!

I knew I had to finish up some stuff this weekend but I kept on delaying it until the last minute, this very wee hour. You know what I did the whole weekend? Friday night, I was out with family. Saturday, the whole day I spent watching tv – you don’t know how tv-deprived I was. Saturday nite, I can’t remember what I did actually. On Sunday, I woke up really late doing stuff I don’t remember what the night before. I didn’t go straight to work, instead I went cleaning up my room, rearranged and refolding clothes, took a long shower (my heater is broken! isk), watched some more tv, watched some dvd’s, well until it was 11. I went to play games after that (that expert level on Majesty rox). Made some coffee, grilled some fish, downloaded some music, then only I started looking at the work I was supposed to do. It was 2am.

Why did I procastinate?

On a side note, have to work on FOSSchix.my soon. I don’t think any meeting can be held before that FOSS meetup. So sad, there’s something coming up on 3 – 5 Dec. Damn you government for holding so many events and what’s that star rating.

Post-mortem

// August 27th, 2008 // No Comments » // personal

So here’s the post mortem of everything.

Hmmm…. my dad bought me a PDA. Well, not really a PDA but he gave me the money to get one. Was joking (but a little bit hopeful) when I asked him about it yesterday. So this morning I was all smiles driving to work. Came in late (5 min) but who cares these days. It’s tiring traveling from Telok Panglima Garang. Have to wake up early, be out of the house early, have to spend so much time alone driving,  just to get in office before 8.30am. Urghhh cut me some slack. What a cruel way of robbing someone’s life. What an unnecessary babbling to start a day.

My brother is home right now before going back so I want to play all available LAN games with him and Otel even if it continues way after my bedtime….. heheheh…. If I bring back my laptop, there’ll be 4 machines enough for us all but sadly Mueh is not a gamer at heart, maybe can ask abah to join us? Ooohh brings back Diablo memory.

Mom baked a cake after so many years – yum yum chocolate cake with very creamy, tasty, delish chocolate sauce. If we had pineaple slices last night, I would’ve covered them with sugar and bbq them until it’s golden and then dipped that sweet stuff into that even sweeter choc sauce! Strange how I don’t eat chocolate (the bars and ice creams) but I eat choc cakes, choc muffins, choc sauce. My mom bought me a baju kurung, from the look & feel of it, it looks expensive. Not that it matters, maybe it didn’t cost much but she knows how to pick stuff that will look good. Besides, she understands my taste, so all the more better.

Throughout August, I discovered a good spot for shopping – tapak-tapak convo di seluruh universiti di seluruh negara. Oh you wouldn’t believe the prices you could get there. Almost all major unis convos are over now. Normally you can find clothes and tudung at student’s price – I got 2 shirts for RM25 that would set me back RM70+ in shopping malls. Recently when we went for Otel’s convo (now where did I put the pix), my mom bought this fluffly unbelievably very  ‘cuddlable’ pillows. They’re made from goose feathers, the soft ones on the breast side, normally retails at RM290++ each. We got it at RM34. See the huge difference there? I’m sure you’ve heard of second hand stuff from hotels – this is one of those. We took home 6 pillows, 2 bedsheet (I think) and something else made from Egyptian cotton. Go google for Egyptian cotton and you’ll get the idea. All below RM1k.

Well known Pelita Alam, main shop in Tambun if you know where that is. Basically it’s a great place to find home furnishings especially if you need furnitures for new home and stuff. You can get RM40k bed for RM2200 – good bargain right there.

And good bargain also exist in the form of eBay. Do not underestimate the power of eBay regardless of you being a seller or a buyer. You can easily get addicted to eBay. I like to purchase all my cosmetic stuff there. Real cheap. Go browse and test the real thing in shops, go back home and buy them online. Malaysians don’t offer alot, yet, but it’s growing and I like that.

Just for the record, I don’t like the way papers trashed Anwar Ibrahim – they should have 2 sides of the story. Anyway, I don’t believe the sodomy allegations. It’s just preposterous! Like my mom said – “Tak masuk dek akal!”. By the way, last night on RTM1 there was a documentary of some sort on ISA detainees and they showed their everyday lives etc. All I can say is, kalau masuk tv mesti la tunjuk yang baik-baik saje. An interview with a detainee also all gave good comments. There was a short appearance of ex-detainee saying stuff like “ISA membantu membentuk sahsiah saya kini bla bla bla..”, haiya that guy was in for the shortest moment. Get someone who had/have been there for years. Anwar spent his 6 years there. If you are to showcase the real news, get it from real sources. Hape lah!

I’m going to be absent the rest of the next 2 week starting this Friday. Thanks to my team for being understanding – see I told you they’re great people. My camera still with friend, so I’m going to lose the chance to snap pretty pix…. *sigh* … Doubtful to borrow from friends coz I feel they’ll be abit reluctant parting with their cam more than a weekend, unless they have extras. So will snap pix and save in my real memory I guess.

My shoes are not here yet! Why oh why? Been waiting anticipating… Shucks.

Oooohhh am surprise at the lenght of this post here. Well like I said, it’s post mortem of everything.
