Saturday

I spend the first half of my saturday doing nothing.. Waking up at 12 something then eating my lunch. Then KH called me to go to his house to pick my present or souvenir that be bought back from Australia. I went to take my bath and head straight to his house. Later on Im supposed to head over to 1 Stop to pick up 2 bottles of her sauflon multi acidic lens solution.


Regardless of the terrible jam , I went ahead too for these 2 bottles. These 2 bottles that are supposed to be urgent but she forgot to take it from my car last night.

After that I waited for her to finish her OT and we went swimming. Then dinner then went to Sticks Bistro outside of QB Mall. What a fine establishment considering its built outside the empty spot of QB Mall.

Too bad I didnt snap a few pictures for the blog. Below are the few photos that I took from the web to show how fine it is. 

Edit: Decided not to, most photos are from blogs that are watermarked. They think they take fantastic photos and afraid that people are stealing their photos. So just google up yourself and you'll know what i mean.

Here's the link :P

Sticks Fire Bistro QB Mall

Weekends !

WW3.5 to WW4


Weekends.
Its time to enjoy after a whole week of working. Its also the time to splash out money. Haha.


What major things worth mentioning ?


Our Friday dinner at Manila's place at gurney.
The price as okay, the food's okay too except i used 2 dose of its cheesy cream sauce, which makes it sort of over-tasted / over-seasoned. Nevertheless I still managed to finish the delicious dinner. And its her treat !


Next up is watching the movie FASTER by Dwayne Johnson. He is i think, to date the most successful wrestler. Moving from " stage " acting to big screen acting. Storyline was okay, not too long or too short to keep you interested.


After the movie we went Coffee Island to play a few games of Monopoly Deal and the beans game. These games, if played too frequent will cause arguments. Better not play too often.


Reached house and on bed around 3.30AM. And I woke up today @ 6AM !!

3 of these for 0.99USD !

Yet another great buy from that fella from the previous post !

Angry Birds Seasons 

Robokill

Assassin's Creed : Altairs Chronicles 

Looks like this fella is a very reliable and genuine source of apps supplier. If he continue to give discounts like this... well... we'll see.

P/s : Hope I have time to dish out some reviews for these paid apps in the next few days.

Great AppStore deals !

I recently got to know of someone from Twitter that is selling apps at one-third the price on sale. The procedure is I tell him the app that I want and he'll provide the code for me to redeem it via iTunes. I have no idea where he get the codes but whatever, its a great deal at 1/3 price or a 66.67% discount.


He's got a reputation of having giveaways of certain big titles like Real Racing 2 and Infinity Blades. Since I have MYR10 in my PayPal, I thought why not give it a try ? The 10 bucks has also been dormant very long in my PayPal.


So I requested for Real Racing 2 @ 9.99USD with his discount becomes 3.33USD which is the equivalent of what I have in my PayPal. It was a genuine deal, he gave me the code after i completed the transaction. I went to redeem it and viola !

Nice game and graphics i gotta say ! At 3.33USD its totally worth it !

Earning money through AdSense ?

Everybody wishes to have some channels of passive income.

Google AdSense is one of the most profitable and easiest way to generate passive income through websites.


But its not easy for me.


I have applied twice for Google AdSense and have both been rejected on grounds that I am unclear of. The reasons stated are violations / ineligibility of something that I have no idea of.
I think it may be due to the low traffic of my blog.


But personally I think I should not be denied the chance, however remote it may be, the chance to earn money throught AdSense.

The origin of the name Bak Kut Teh

I saw from thestar paper today,


Looking familiar ? 

The name has nothing to do with tea ( teh )
It appears that the name originated from a village where some fella used to sell bak kut and his name was Teh something something..


Everyone called him bak kut Teh.. And so the name lived on for generations..

which one ?

which is easier to read ? 


a simple template ?

Hmm...

Implants for my HP Mini and XPS M1330

Took the Dell Wireless Draft-N card from SS's XPS and used it in my HP Mini, in turn, lost bluetooth function for the HP Mini.. You'll see why..

This is the internal of my HP Mini. On the top you'll see the Dell Wireless Draft-N card from SS's XPS. Notice to the left of it theres a small bay. Thats where the HP Mini's original communication card bay. It is a combination of WLAN and bluetooth. At that size. Wow.

There it is, a closer shot. That module, removed and replaced with Dell's card. Originally I wanted to have both of them, but due to the lack of cables..... Unlike the XPS which have cables for both WLAN and WWAN cards even if there isnt one there. I have no idea why they intend to put a bay there but not the appropriate cables.

Earlier there was a post also mentioning the swapping of hard drive. I took the HP Mini's 7200rpm hard drive and implanted it in my XPS and replaced the HP Mini's hard drive with my XPS's lame 5400rpm hard drive. This is it.

This is how it looks like without the bay. Basically just a holder / dock thingy for the hard drive to stay still in the bay.

 

Front and reverse side of the bay. As I said , just a handle with the sticker label on top and some soft rubber cushion for it to sit nicely in the bay.

Finally, ending this post, photos of my absolutely stunning white XPS M1330.

Recap of my surgery of SS's XPS M1330

I discovered the wonders of picasa and how easy it was to transfer photos into the cloud and use them in my blog. Thus I decided to do a quick recap of the surgery, this time with photos.

This is before I started my surgery. Notice the small dent on the palmrest. Lady user huh ?

The keyboard, which I originally intended to replace it onto my XPS.

The wireless communications card bay, it is empty because I had stolen the WLAN card to put into my HP Mini which you'll see later. Those communication cables are connected to the display panel.

Voila, the display panel, 13.3 inch Dell display. Wished it was LED backlit which I could gladly steal. LED backlit displays are said to be brighter and more energy saving. This would do me good as my battery was already dying. Could only last 1 hour on power saver mode.

Further took out the heat sink assembly. Notice that SS's unit doesnt use the infamous nVidia 8400M GS as the heat sink assembly doesnt have the pad for the gpu. It uses the integrated video card. Still , didnt understand why her motherboard failed.

Closer look @ her processor. Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 2.0Ghz 667Mhz FSB. Wonder if its clear enough to be seen here.

Overall view of the essentials , the CPU and the RAM on the motherboard. I stole her 2GB RAM and replaced it with my 1GB RAM. Why i keep it there ? Because I lack space for keeping RAMs so just put it at where a RAM should belong.

Midway into my surgery, where everything was there. Dont mind the iPhone, left it there accidentally.

Items there were the display panel , the main unit ( motherboard , optical drive , etc ) , the keyboard , the touch panel and the heat sink assembly.

One final step was slotting this clip back in. Operation successful. Again, a big thanks to SS.

Last post for the day

Well, I guess this is where i sign off for the day,
