Mistake! Can you afford it?

While think back of my student bill and my expenses for this month plus some life issues, suddenly this question strikes out.... I'm very sure that everyone here did mistakes before, and in fact everyone in the world does. How much does the mistakes cost you? How would you amend your fault? Perhaps running away and pretend that nothing actually happened?

For me, I've been making lots of mistakes throughout my whole life. (Of course alots or I'll be a distinction, first class student with RM70++ tuition fee for this semester). Too bad, I have to let my parents to crack out hefty RM1.5K for the tuition fees of this semester. Sad to say that I don't actually really regret of not studying well for all these years, except when the time of paying the student bills. Well mistakes of studies cost me extra few K of student fee, but sometimes mistakes in life cost more than anything.

Infact a good deed doesn't makes you an angel yet a mistakes banish you into a devil. Don't put those lovey-dovey relationship into this equations la... coz love is blind. (Sometimes is it not blind also)... Take friendship for example, or perhaps those problem that I faced many many months ago.. You might did many things to help a person, but when you messed up something, you are certified condemn. Why is that so? LOL.. I have no idea bout that too.

Perhaps mistakes would never end till the moment you returned to earth. I mean the ground/soil/mud/floor or wateva as long as not the martian story la.. :P Anyway, moving on... I think the best way is to take out your precious notebook, note it down and don't let yourself make it again. I wonder how many people would actually did that... surely not me la... K la.. that's all for today. BTW, Westlife new album really nice man... maybe I would do a very short review tomorrow. :)

CHIP magazine delivery issues


Well have you guys wondering why CHIP magazines didn't appeared in your mailbox for 2months already? Hmmm... As we know CHIP isn't CHEAP at all yet it only published during mid of the months and usually when we got it at our hands, its already end of the months. It's hard to get it from any bookstores or newstands compared to the other PC Magazines, so I subsribed that particular magazine few months ago.

Based on it's forum at http://forum.chip.com.my/, it doesn't contains any announcement regarding to the issues too. So I thought only my issue were missing. I roam around in the forum, and realized that there are many forumers complained for the same thing. This is the information that I retrieved from one of the post

Basically they have management change
and
the next publication will only out in December....

So no more chip for the next 3 months...


So in conclusion, there is no September, October, and November issue would be available at anywhere for this year. Futhermore the new price of the CHIP magazines are RM 10 RM 12!

Un-banana'ing N70

Few days ago, when I switched off my phone, I realized that I couldn't switch it on again. Yea.. sounds amazing isn't it? If the power switch is faulty then why I could switch it off at the first place? Then I plugged it to the charge, and the phone lights up and start charging. Hence it's certified alive by LittlewaY of course. :P To double check whats the problem with the button, I removed the casing, including the frame at the back camera. I directly press the button, but it has no reaction. Hence again, I confirmed that the power button is spoilt. Now, the problem still remains unsolved as the phone is remain off situations.

Hmm.. then I opened up my browser, start to google about the power switch problem, and tadaa~~ I found a hint. First get an electric conductor, a normal paper clips would do (of course not the plastic paper clips). All that I need to do is connect two pins the anode and cathode with the conductor so that it ignites the power button pressed state. At my first attempt, the phone lights up but it did not start (The phone is connected to charger, so whenever any button is pressed, it would lights up). Same results for my second attempts. Then I decided to get into deeper, as the N70 power switch are hidden behind the phone speaker, so I can only connect with assumption. At my third attempts, it finally starts. :D

Here is the reference on how the phone looks like when the casing are totally removed.

Picture above are retrieved from here and edited by myself.

Reminder : This tricks is for temporarily solutions, and for a better solution, consult your phone's warranty company to be claim for warranty.

So I took it to the service centre at Lowyat Plaza, and fix it. I also ask them to reflashed my firmware, so that it can recognized chinese characters. Hence un-banana'ing in this post is actually means that reflashed the english firmware which unable to recognize chinese characters into the new firmware which able to recognize chinese characters.

It looks good, and when I first access to the clock function, it stated Beijing. LOL... Is that a China firmware? Maybe....... the things that I don't like is the font in messaging are extremely tall and skinny which looks abit awful for me. :P

Yet is fun to see the menu in chinese.. LOL..

Thats all for today's post la.. :)

Format PC lo....

Is such a long time since don't know N months ago I didn't format my pc already. Since my windows appeared to be abit slow and unstable, I decided to format it instead of ghost it back. Well now finally I start to use Mircosoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 instead of old Service Pack 1. LOL... Due to the too used of ghosting, I find that format works are way too long. Heck I've been sitting infront of PC whole night just to install those software that I needed back into my PC. I swear I won't format my PC again in a short period of time again. (!-.-)

Anyway, I have switched my theme from Aqua to Milky Tiger OSX theme. Accompanied by LittlewaY edited wallpaper, this is how my new desktop theme. For those who interested on how my old theme looked like, you can get it from here.

October theme



Anyway feel free to comment on my new desktop theme ya. :) Continue with my seminar after blogging... *sigh*

Hoho... finally back to the class again. I've not attending classes since January of this year. Pretty long already isn't it? Hmm... the first lecture was about SPM (What the heck, now still taking SPM... :P) which is actually Software and Project Management subject taught by our dear ang moh guest lecture Dr. Mark from Campbell University.

Well this is not the interesting part. The most interesting part is our dear brand NEW DKABA air condition was not working and we have to sit there for 4hours in that "cute" lecture hall with other 2 courses. In total, the lecture hall has 3 courses together AIA, AIT, and AIB enjoying that suana-liked-lecture hall.
