BLESSED NEW YEAR 2009

Starting a new chapter in 2009, I wish everyone and myself to have a HEALTHY body (being fit and pretty - that's what I mean).

That's my 1st priority now.
2 - Being more (love, care, joy, cash cash cash)
3 - Have a plan that keeps me going everyday

Simple 3 things to keep my 2009 more meaningful.

To readers and my friends, have a BLESSED new year.

(To Malaysian Govt, reduce FUEL price further down :P )

Tuesday

Yahoo Messenger can be naughty as well

I was prompted by this auto bot YM friend keep luring me to chat. So I decided to play with "her" and see what response I get.

Enjoy reading!

After that, she just keep quiet. Maybe she really too tired with her toy or hands are too busy and cannot response quickly. Btw, above conversation finished in 2 minutes. Am I good or what? I hardly started anything.

 

What's New for today?

  1. Dell Mini 9 couple with Maxis Broadband (RM99 per month) -- read the last line
  2. Dell Mini 12 is heading its way to Japan
  3. Google Phone (Android) has Street View
  4. Found another version of body kits for my car
  5. Girl friend got mad with me if I keep facing the laptop more than facing her. How?

Good night people.

Monday

A 3 hour City Get Away trip to Perdik Waterfall

Never have I imagine a short weekend trip could be so much refreshing than any oversea trip. Reason being is everything is under control and within my comfort.

  1. Girlfriend planned the trip with ex-colleagues/ friends  in email and I was in CC list.
  2. Turn up was great. With 10 YOUNG adults and 2 kids. We're ready to roll.
  3. Driving our own cars with Garmin GPS and Walkie Talkie make us feel so much secured.
  4. On the way back, we still can enjoy our faviourite HONG HONG Yong Tau Foo!

As for point #3, some drivers just find it unnecessarily because 1 "dunno" how to use Talkie, and another fear to enter rocky roads. "I said press and talk, this fella keep Press and put talkie on His Ear and Talk."  LoL... your ear just cannot talk and the talkie is suppose to put in front of your lips. OK?

Malaysia is a fantastic place for travelers especially when you're with your clique. The journey was alright until one point I've make all cars convoyed behind me panicked. I made a wrong turn near Taman Connaught where I suppose to take middle lane, the stupid GPS navigator keep saying "In 750 meter, keep left and turn left." So I did what GPS told when I actually saw the Green Sign board pointing to Lebuhraya Cheras / Kajang highway.

From there on, my talkie kept silence until the last car (loaded with 5 adults 2 kids - kononnya 7 seaters) went missing when we are cruising at the 17 kilometers stretch from Taman Suntex to Kampung Kuala Perdik.

When we're approaching to Kg. Kuala Perdik, we have been searching for the signboard saying "Perdik Fall" or "Hutan Lipur" as mentioned in 1 of the reference blog site here. We couldn't find any clue and we're started like Motor Hunting, making U-Turns to search for the right junction. (Guys, if you are planning to drive there as well, look for Lembah Pangsun Eco Resort signboard. Enter that Left junction)

From there, we drove in further to meet another friend (the fear factor driver of point #3). Since we have 4 cars, we parked 2 cars at the Eco Resort and drove in to the dead end. I mean we must passed the rocky roads and bridges till the very end of the road.

The driving itself took 45min to an hour inclusive of searching. We need to park our cars, 2 car park lot away after the rocky road, and started walking about 5 min until we saw "Hutan Lipur Hulu Perdik". (Be smart where to park next time.)

Here's the Google Map from Sri Petaling taking MRR2 highway to Kg. Kuala Perdik.

The jungle trekking trail is quite challenging. Imagine we have 2 kids coming along. Crossing 3 rivers and some came with Slippers, long pants and plastic bags. We all just head straight, follow the previous walk path all the way 45 minutes up to the Perdik Waterfall. It's worth the time and effort.

While I was searching Network... I Found...

image

Do you see what I capture here?

The Mobile Operators in Malaysia differentiate each other network by a very simple method, i.e. the Prefix of the your Mobile Phone Number (technically call, MSISDN, pronounced as "Miss Din" -- haha... got to know this in one my project here). Now DiGi (50216 above) or commonly known as 016 (Zero One Six) or the famous "Yellowman Company" has 3G network.

I did a manual network search from my Maxis Broadband modem. And now as customer we have 4 choices of Mobile Internet Surfing via 3G network. Let's just hope the price war starts soon.

 

Another note, I've been like MIA from blogsphere like so damn long and now everyone I noticed lately every friend's blog been up to date. Feel so outdated myself.

Who's blog I've been reading lately?

Oh gosh... it's late. Have to sleep...

Video that I watched every week, online!



CNET TV is fun to watch (for me). Online TV broadcast is becoming more and more famous now. Who's gonna watch TV for latest info?



An APPLE Store in Sdyney... woo hooooo.. And NATALI DEL CONTE is.... LOADED!
