Victim of a Cereal Killer

I created this list while reviewing Chrome. I’m too damn lazy to rewrite. This post will be updated with more screen shot and more points as I use Chrome.

—FIRST LOOK—
The layout is clean and easy to look at. The colour used is contrasty and easy to distinguish from one menu/panel from another. I like it more than Safari’s (and Mac’s) default layout which lacks contrast, every darn thing is in some shade of grey. It ran Grow Cube (a Flash game) magnificently, probably due to Flash being ran in a separate process.

—TABS—
-Links clicked appears next to the original tab, while new empty tabs appears at the end of the row. This makes surfing easier because links from one tabs are grouped together.

-However, the tabs shrink when more tabs are opened. Thy shrink and shrink and shrink until the tabs = no tabs. Firefox, IE and Safari simply extends with an arrow-button where you scroll around to hunt for the tabs. Opera is clearly the winner, where the tabs can be wrapped into multiple lines. I hate scrolling around just to hunt for the tabs. I like to be able to access all the tabs at one glance.

-Like any other browser, I can just[......]Read more here…

Violent dream

I had a weird dream last night. Well, actually all of my dreams are weird-ass. I can never understand any of my dreams and how my dreams progress from one ridiculous scene to another totally unrelated, but equally ridiculous scene. Something like the Scary Movie series, but weirder.

I dreamed that I was in my grandma’s old house. The details remain fuzzy, but I remember escaping from a battle/fight… then I end up at the lawn at the back of the house. 

Then I started fighting/sparring with my friends (huh? WTH?). I was doing Brazilian jiujutsu (BJJ), kyukushin karate, savate and some weird ass self-defence moves I created myself. Then I was discussing with my friends about which martial arts is most effective and [.....]

Corrupted card… lost memories

I just had my trusty Sandisk Ultra II CF died out on me. The bl00dy card decided it was a cute idea to corrupt the files inside. Diu. Maybe I bought a fake Sandisk, or maybe I put the card on top of a HDD and kena all the magnetic damage.

I sometimes don’t download files into the PC after a photo shoot. Hey, there’s still lots of space in the card… so I malas lah. 

One find day, I removed the card for a few days. When I re-inserted it into the camera, [......]

Have YOU? I Have

“Have you registered?”

That’s something I always ask my friends recently. Then, typical of Chinese [Malaysians], they ask me back the same question. Now let me answer your question:

I have. In fact, I just have it done a few hours ago. In the post office……

Malaysian Chinese? Chinese Malaysian?

Are you a Malaysian Chinese?

Or are you a Chinese Malaysian?

You see, many ethnic Chinese in Malaysia are a confused bunch. They don’t know whether to call themselves Chinese or Malaysian. And gwai lohs who visit Malaysia are always confused by them……

Anti Toll Protest

I bet some of you didn’t know about the toll hike protest/demostration held in Sunway. I knew about the protest through Jeff Ooi’s blog — Screenshots and others politically-aware and issue driven blogs (links are on the right, under ‘Blogs That Matter’). It’s good to see Malaysians exercising OUR RIGHTS as citizens, regardless of RACE.

I had wanted to go. Then I totally forgot about it when the new semester in UKM started. I got caught up with all the mumbo-jumbo that comes with a new sem… and got depressed.

While Malaysia fiddles, its opportunities are running dry
By Michael Backman
The Age
November 15, 2006

MALAYSIA’S been at it again, arguing about what proportion of the economy each of its two main races — the Malays and the Chinese — owns. It’s an argument that’s been running for 40 years. That wealth and race are not synonymous is important for national cohesion, but really it’s time Malaysia grew up.

It’s a tough world out there and there can be little sympathy for a country that prefers to argue about how to divide wealth rather than get on with the job of creating it.

The long-held aim is for 30 per cent of corporate equity to be in Malay hands, but the figure that the Government uses to justify handing over huge swathes of public companies to Malays but not to other races is absurd. It bases its figure on equity valued, not at market value, but at par value.

Death Note to UMNO

Hey anime/manga fans out there? I’m sure you would have heard about this Japanese manga comic — Death Note. If you still have zilch idea about it, you can flip the newspaper: look for the cinema listings. There’s a new movie based on this manga. Same title, same story.
.
For the uninitiated, the story is about the god/angel of death purposely dropped his book on earth. Some smart alec found it. Whose ever name he wrote on the book will die, by heart failure if the way to die is not written.

Humuhumunukunukuapua’a

Say it with me.
“Humu-humu nuku-nuku apoo aa-aa”
.
Try to say it as fast as possible! Hehe!
.
It’s actually Hawaiian. Grace Siromani taught me this phrase - humuhumunukunukuapua’a - right after she came back from her industrial training in Sea World, Hawaii… or was is Sea Park? [sorry Grace, can’t really remember the name].

Wi-Fied
.
My home has been Wi-Fied. Just bought a Belkin wireless router. Now I can even surf/blog/chat while shitting in the toilet!
.

.
That’s the Belkin 54G Wi Fi router, next to my third Aztech DSL modem in 2 years. The first modem simply stopped working for no reason one fine day. The next one got fried together with the network card on one stormy day. The router works like a charm. It better be, I paid 170 Ringgit for it. But it heats up pretty quickly. After running it for about 10 minutes, it’s almost hot enough to cook an egg. Wonder why it has holes on its bottom instead of on top to dissipate the heat.
