Malaysia International Fireworks Competition is back

I guess most of us would still remember that last year, Malaysia had the International Fireworks Competition at Putrajaya Convention Centre in conjunction of Malaysia 50th National Day during the month of August. Good News to all is, it's back. The event would be started off on August 12, 2008 (Tuesday) which kickstarts by Team Malaysia. Unlike last year, there would be no competition being held on the 31st August. Hence I'm not sure if there would be any firework display on National Day or not. Also namely International Firework competition, from the list in their official webpage, there is only 4 countries that would be participating this competition including Malaysia. These are the schedules of the competition for this year :
12 August 2008 - Malaysia
16 August 2008 - China
20 August 2008 - Canada
24 August 2008 - Spain
29 August 2008 - Grand Finale

Putting the event apart, I would like to put some comment on the MIFC official webpage. I have no idea who design the page, and I am very confident that even college student can come out with better web design than them.


Obviously I've selected for HTML navigation (because I doubt they make good flash page from the first impression of the intro page) but I still get some flash content in the sites for retrieving informaiton.


It's so unbelievable that it can be so dull, unprofessional and I wonder if the webpage manage to tell the world "Hey, we are good in design, webpage, and I.T., please pour your resources to our cybercity - Cyberjaya".

Too see is to believe. Please see the link below :

New Member For My PC

I've added another two member for my personal computer. Initialy I just plan to buy a 500GB hard disk, however the Lowyat.Net seller zhen^wei told me that the particular model which I interested left only 640GB version. Well the price difference between 500GB and 640GB was RM40. After a short calculation, I told myself "Why not, there is no harm to get the 640GB since I got 140GB extra space". Well it actually sized almost 600GB when I plugged into my PC, because 640GB was estimated size without taking allocation table and bytes loss during bits conversion.


Besides a Hard Disk, I got myself a 5megapixel webcam for testing purpose too. The webcam comes with 2 extra bright led serves as extra light source when you are in dark condition. The brightness can be adjusted too. One thing good about this webcam was it supports plug and play where you can directly plug it into your Windows Vista box and it runs straight away without needing you to find the driver.

Secret Recipe Durian Durian Cake is Back

Just now, Nico and I went for dinner at Equine Park and decided to take a walk at Jusco there. Our main motive is to spend away all the Jusco vouchers that I've collected all year long from various of events organized by my company. After finish shopping there, we buy some cakes home for desert. We walked into Secret Recipe and I was scratching my head what cake should I buy as most of the cakes there are cheese cake. Then suddenly I saw a yellow cake which look cheezy, but when I looked closer, it was actually the limited time durian cake called "Durian Durian". The first question which came across my mind was "is that contains cheese?". Then Nico asked the salesgirl if the cake contains cheese. The salesgirl give us a strange look and replied "No!". Haha.. Lucky me.. Straight away I bought a slice of that and give it a try.

When we open the typical red-box that house the slice of cake, the durian aroma was pretty nice. It looks abit watery and I thought that it's sure ran out of the original taste. However when I take a bite, the durian taste is pretty strong as if you take a bite of durian and a bite of cake. It was really nice and is worth to try that piece of cake again. Personally give the cake 4.8 out of 5. :)
