Where Was Dash?

I Was absent from school for about a full week.. i was mostly in Shenzhen.. HAHA.. Actually it was a last minute plan, my mom brought me there to be her Caddy i guess... HAHA

No Stamping? Cool...

Luckily that day i dun have to wait for passport stampings, since within that day Bruneians wil only have to scan.. no stamping needed. Anyway it was still early so we had a drink while waiting the gates to be opened

Hm.. Coffee Please..

As soon as we reached Hongkong, we tried to call Mr. Wong, a dude who we hired to drive us from Hong Kong to Shenzhen and he said that he'll be there for abt 20 mins. I was so thankful that he knows how to speak in English.. HAHA. On the way reaching to Shenzhen/Hongkong Border, Mr. Wong passed around an immigration form to be filled up.

A long sub..

The Back of The Form (Did they found out i'm an alien?)

As everything settled down, He drove us to Railway Station Hotel, communicating with the hotel attendant was a hassle.. there's hardly anyone here in Shenzhen that can speak english fluently.. we have to use gestures and baby talk with them and for asking the price.. we need a calculator for that..

The West Building Entrance For The Railway Station

Well.. there's actually too much to tell here.. so lets make it short huh.. we went around shenzhen using train which cost us 2 Yuan per trip.. around 40 Cents Brunei, we stayed in an area called Luo Hu which only took us 3 minutes walk to Luo Hu Station, we bought value for money bags, cameras & phones in Dong Men which is on Lao Jie Station,and to buy higher quality attires and bigger electronic stuffs, such as computer parts, we need the train to bring us to Hua Qiang Lu Station. Overall all the stuffs sold here is cheap, not just due to the Forex but also to their appreciation on their money.. to them 1 Yuan is like 1 Brunei Dollar to us..

so here are some of the pix i took, not too much of me in the pix haha..

In Dong men, Lao Jie:

In Hongkong Airport:

P/S: On the way back to Brunei, Hongkong was was too windy.. worst than any storm in Brunei, it was because a Typhoon was approaching, we were contained in the plane for more than an hour when the control tower didn't let the plane to take off, but as soon as the plane took off... the flight was scary, it was shaking like hell.. worst than wat i've ever felt before that made me speechless and pale.. it felt like the plane was about to crash and ppl was screaming, and i know it was a struggle for the pilot to steer through the clouds and the crazy wind.. but thank god everything is ok..

Hm.. Wat Is that?

I received a mail today... asking me to pick up a small package...

Hm... What's That?

Well at 1st i thought it was either my resident evil novel or fang's iPod cable.. but the small was too small as a women gave it out to me.. in my mind was.. it must be Fang's cable and as they asked me to open the package i was happy.. It's my 8GB pendrive!! HAHA

Is It Edible?

Anyway... i didnt went to school today, i want to concentrate of reformatting Ain's laptop since she wants me to downgrade it from Microsoft Vista to Microsoft XP Professional Media Center.. seriously, it is the hardest reformation process i've ever done.. due to it's drivers which were quite hard to find, i even read one blog that says in KL the drivers are for sell up to RM80!! and uhm not to forget the SATA harddrive which lucky for me after the 1st stage of reformating the XP can't detect the harddrive.

Ain's HP Compaq V3000 Laptop... (the specific model is V3063TU)

So i tried my hardest to find a solution of reformating it without using an external USB Floppy Driver (coz i dun have it, it's year 2008 for god's sake!!) which i suppose to put the SATA harddrive driver in it in order to resume it...

I tried to use a pendrive but it didnt work, it took me hours to find an alternative.. which later i found out i have to copy my XP disc and re-code it so that it will run SATA harddrive driver (which i must included in the copied disc) so that it is pre-installed before running XP disc.. and it works!! HAHA.. I'm so happy.. i mean i found a problem and a solution within a same day.. HAHA..

And Ain i hope that u'll read this.. n if you are currently reading it.. PLZ PLZ PLZ... keep the disc safe and PLZ PLZ PLZ... burn the drivers into a disc n keep it safe also... You'll need it especially when i'm not around.. Ok?

A Sad Sad Song..

Just now my fwen gimme a youtube link.. n the title is Permintaan terakhir.. i thought it is something that might make me jump out of my chair or something.. instead it is actually a song.. a very sad song.. it was sung by a convict, Hazwan, who killed both groom and bride, because the bride was cheating him for an ex.. then he surrendered to the police and asked for a death sentence.. for his last request, he asked his friends to visit him and record a song... a song that comes from within his heart..

I totally don't like the idea of killing someone especially the one I loved.. but then from this song I can feel that he is really sad and hurt..

P/S: There's a cover song for this one.. A studio recorded version which sung by Strategy and the song's title is Cinta Tiga Segi, but then it is not as good..

Self 3D Image

Hello y'all, i was bored got anything else to do.. and got bored of watching movies and reading novels. I dunno why but suddenly i want to find a software that can 3D-ed my face from pictures.

So I downloaded this software called FaceGen Modeller (You can download from here), and guess what? i have to upload 3 pictures, One from the front, from the right and lastly from the left. Since my computer is super slow.. it took me an hour for the computer to calculate the 3D frame of my face, and there it is.. my thinned face.. STUPID!! I guess this software discriminate against big people!! HAHA what the hell.. who cares.. now I can see how would I look like if I am thinner.. HAHA

Free Laptops?! Geek Mode : ON

Well i received a message from B.Mobile yesterday morning and it goes like this..

"Get a FREE laptop & modem

with FREE Internet surfing for

as low as $45/mnth.Visit us @

The Mall (cheezBox) from 26

Mar.Info@177. Terms &

Conditions Applies"

I gotta say that the last sentence really did kill my "Typical-Bruneian-Greed-Syndrome",but to some people they may have been blinded by the word "FREE". So i got so skeptical on this and just skipped it.

Anyway later that night, my friends & I were talking about stuffs & I brought up the message I received as a topic, and guess what? they got excited about it... and as always excitement is very contagious.. HAHA so I thought of looking out for it in the Internet. At first, I was only thinking of checking out the laptop specs, brand and model which later leads me to dig deeper on the terms and regulation.

Gotta admit that 3.6 MB per second (MBps) speed really blown me away.. its like.. you can download a medium quality MP3 for a second only, but then 3.6MBps is the maximum speed.. who knows most of the time the speed will be slower than that right?.. I mean look at e-speed.. though my speed is 512KBps but then downloading a song took me an average time of 15mins!!

Then I stumbled upon a poster from B.Mobile's web.. the laptop is actually Dell's Vostro 1400, then I searched again for a blog mentioning about this "promotion" and lucky me that I got to read a dude's blog who went to the booth, http://dencorp.blogspot.com/. From there I found out that some of the things are free except..

1. the laptop is not free, the $45 is actually for the laptop's monthly payment

2. the Internet connection is free for only up to 2GB of downloads per month for 48 months (4 Years), more than that.. it's $0.50 per MB

3. Though the modem is free, but you really do need to have an active B.mobile line to be inserted to the modem

To those who are thinking to own the modem since you have a laptop already.. well it's a sad news for you... they don't sell the modem separately.. You MUST buy the laptop in order to get the free modem.

Anyway I found out from one of the sites, there is a small slot compartment for SIM card underneath the battery pack of the Dell Vostro 1400 , but the reviewer said the use of it is still unknown, I guess that is the reason B.mobile is giving out the modem for free with the laptop.

Well what can I say? It's a marketing strategy.. we can't blame them for doing so.. in a way we can say it is.. as if, the $45 is for monthly Internet payment (if not exceeded 2GB or 48 months of usage) but free laptop OR vice versa.. c'mon guys, lets be optimistic on this one.. at least we can imaginatively see the "FREE" part on this... HAHA

Hm.. well for those who are really interested on the laptop here are the specs, which i got from the posters with lil' extra infos from the net..

DELL VOSTRO 1400

P/S: I try to find a way to use the B.Mobile SIM card (without using their Modem), so i tried to find an unlocked (can be used with any SIM card with 3G ability) modem, and guess what? i found a better solution.. an internal modem for the laptop!! it's Dell's Wireless 5520 Mobile Broadband Card Mini-PCI WWAN!!!! so I guess the SIM card slot underneath the battery of Dell Vostro 1400 can be used if this modem is installed.

Dell's Wireless 5520 Mobile Broadband Card Mini-PCI WWAN

There also might be such modem for upgrades to other laptops.. see.. who said you really do need B.mobile modem? hehe

Dad... I Miss You..

As i strolled around with my friend... We were listening to Kristal FM and a song has been played, a song that brings memories of my dad to me.. all of the sudden i was silenced by the song that i haven't heard of for quite sometime, a song that touches my heart and makes me speechless with my teary eyes.. it's Luther Vandross's Dance With My Father..

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved

If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again
Ooh, ooh

When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again

Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear how mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me

I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But dear Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

It's Holiday Again

Well there's nothing much to say.. yeah i slacked off abit.. nope scratch that.. TOO MUCH fits well.. HAHA well actually i was to occupied that when i got my free time i spent it all on resting n socializing and yeah.. watching [H]ouse M.D. series & reading Novels. HEY!! its not a romance or such.. it's Resident Evil Novel Series!!

1 of 7 novels (i'm currently reading the 3rd one)

Hm.. actually i'm waiting for Resident Evil : Zero Hour Novel that i bought from ebay to arrive.. it's the latter novel after all 6, S.D. Perry came up with it in order to explain everything and the root of this biohazard mishap that happened before the Spencer's Mansion incident (The mansion in the 1st Novel & the 1st game).. thus labeled with the number "0".

N uhm.. i bought juz bought a pendrive from ebay also haha, a Samsung's 8GB USB 2.0 White Leather Case Flash Drive.. there's only 500 of it's kind (i think what they meant was the case is limited edition).. i'm not sure if it is true but i know for sure that the chips are made by Samsung but not it's case...but who cares?! it says that it's limited edition and those two words really excites me especially the price i bid on is the same price as a 4GB pendrive that can be bought here at the expo. Plus it is well designed.. very cool looking.. HAHA
