i found this useful tutorial on how to "lomofied" ur digital photos, this is the first of couple of my experiment. It turns out to be pretty nice..

yey! i finally own a digital camera..not just any digital camera (hehe..) but a sony cyber-shot dsc T2 (turquoise)..i was in luv with it when i first saw the camera in a window display in bangsar. I was contemplating for a month if i should get it, last nite i just decided to get it and right now its sitting nicely in front of me. Aaaaaaahhhh, im stil not done with the aah and the uhm....i wanted to get pink at first but its pretty kinda too gay (hahahhaha...). its an early xmas gift for myself. i know i deserve it. 

But its quite a bummer cz the matching color case is not in the market yet, oh well..its probably be in within 1 or 2 weeks. I could live with that..

haaaaa...after half an hour i moved my furniture around situated at where they were. Now that izzi has more coverage in damansara perdana, i can get 100% signal strength everywhere in the house. I like this lay out better, easy to eat in front of telly, seems more balance and can monitor my downloading easier. Oh yea...this reminds me i really need to get Merry Maid to come and clean the house. 

iv bn having problem with my internet and i almost threw the device into the longkang behind my house. A month ago i subscribed to iZZI (wireless broadband) and it works ok for a couple of weeks before the nightmare started to happen. The connection went solid for an hour and it died after that. It went down hill after that, it disconnected every 5 minutes. I did everything i could think of, including moving my computer nearer to the window and all. And the antenna doesnt help either, it made it worse even. I didnt have any problem receiving good signal (signal strength 100%) so are the other people whos staying at the same block. I lend to ernie whos using pc and it works fine on his machine. So, i thought it could be the hardware problem but most of people i talked to said mac has the most straightforward setting for internet. 2 nights ago i decided to do a little test to let my internet run without opening any application and guess what? it went on the whole night without any disconnection till the next morning. Last night i tested opening each application with the internet on. Safari: OK, Adium: OK, iTUNES: OK and Transmission: went kong after 2 minutes. So i called Chiang (izzi's tecnician). He told me izzi throttles p2p and asked me to reset my transmission setting to this: 

DOWNLOAD SPEED: less than 40kbps

UPLOAD SPEED: 50% of download speed

ACTIVE TORRENTS: 2

SEEDING: 1

Ill try this tonite and see if it works. Fingers crossed!

after a lot of trial and error iv finally get it to work, i capped it to 10 KB/s for upload rate. it seems to do the trick (its really not a trick actually). Except in the weekend, when i launched the torrent client, i still experience dc, caused by busy traffic.

its deepavali today...

and sigh! IM SICK. iv been coughing non stop since last friday. I guess the medicine didnt work..i went to see doc again and he bloody charged me for RM90 (thank god, its claimable), and i feel like im coughing out coals now..IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER. i hate coughing, dry cough esp. It feels like a thousand blades cut ur throat everytimes u cough. 

oh..i guess my internet connection is more stable right now, it's not disconnected (yet). It has been more than 2 hours now. Yipeeee!! i hope it stays that way, i was really close to smash things up and throw the device in the longkang behind my apt. I was like tearing my hair (haha..what hair?) out looking for the solution when its all the isp's problem. Should've informed your subsribers about the upgrading iZZI. And Cheang (iZZI's technician), its not the hardware's problem, its the ISP. 

i guess ill rearrange my furniture on sunday after Ipoh. If im rajin, that is. haha. Since izzi's signal strength is excellent throughout the house, ill be moving back the computer desk next to the bed, and have the tv at its previous place.... and chi will be better. 

nyimpan jenang nang jero tin,

arek digowo mareng suro,

keluputan kulo lahir batin,

salah silap njalok ngapuro.

bocah cilik mangen sego,

sego dipangan karo gulo,

wes suwi orak ngomong jowo,

dino royo njalok ngapuro.

buko poso lawuh'e gereh,

njegor sunge dicoplok boyo,

keluputanku sing akeh akeh,

kiro 0-0 lah yo..

Selamat Hari Raya to y'all..

its back...

my insomnia, sleepless night is back. cant believe it im stil up and alert at 5.30 in the morning. Tried to sleep for like 15 minutes but the endless tossing and turning just made it worse. Tried to watch tv but it didnt work either, i guess blogging is all i have now.

lets see, now i have 2(ish) blogs. i kinda like virb, simple layout, easy to navigate and blogspot is kinda difficult and not idiot proof (haha..), but i like my blogspot's title...whereas virb is just slash gbum. Kinda boring, aint it? Lets see how long m i gonna be on this one, blogspot that is..

Now that i cant sleep, shall i finish up my ciggie (till subuh azan, that is, sec last day of fasting month)? ok..ill have my third ciggie. sigh! ok..since we have all the time in the world, lets organize. Things to do:

1. haircut

2. get button for baju melayu (if anuar forgot or dont have time to get one)

3. pay fitrah

4. call ivan and let him know im going to mid valley to pick up the antenna since hes damn busy or avoiding me

my apt kinda look small now but its kinda grown on me. i can watch tv from the toilet which is a plus cz i go visit the john quite often (haha)..and i can lie down on the sofa while watching stuff from the comp. and the most important thing, my internet signal strength is much, much better. and i dont get dc either. back to apt, i really, really need to clean it or get the merry maids to come and clean it. After hari raya, that is. 

panic is over

just called my sister, apparently according to the doctorS, he doesnt need an operation, it (the prostate) can be shrunk down with medicine. Thats  a huge relief, and  a big fat relief its not cancerous...but he has to take about 5 months to finish it....GOOD LORD!!

3 more days til hari raya. Its the most stressful pre hari raya so far..

out with the old, in with the new

darn it, i couldnt retreive my old username and password for the previous blog, hence IGOBBLOG. I like the name, its stupid and soooooo me. hahahah...

A lot of thing has happened eversince iv written last. Like my dad (this will be in a new post), me moving to a new place, buying computer and my everyday ever changing drama. Having a  computer (the new silver imac..hehe..im stil psyched) at home, is sooooo convenient, a fact that a 2 year old nowadays has already established. And with my improved (cross finger!) internet connection, it made it a whole lot nicer...But give me 2 more months, ill bet it will be all scratchy and faulty. NO damn it, i dont wana jinx it.
