Blu Ray
11.30.07 | Permalink |Technology| 1 Comment

Yesterday I was browsing the electronic store and found this blu ray player. I asked my hubby what is blu ray? He told me it is a new technology. Blu Ray is the next generation optical disc format that is better than DVD or VCD.

With Blu Ray, we are able to do recording, rewriting and playback with high definition video. It can store last amount of data. I heard 5 times more that DVD. WOW. I am talking about 25G or 50G of data and it is erasable.

However now you need a player to be able to play Blu Ray Disc. Time to change your player.

Cute Doggy Bag
11.27.07 | Permalink |Shopping| 5 Comments

I got this fabric bag from Penang QueensBay Mall. It has a cute little dog sewn on the bag which I love so much. In my humble opinion, it is worth much more than the I M Not A Plastic Bag.

I kind of like the store, the bags they are selling has either a dog or a cat sewn on it. It is really cute. The store is call pet shop. It has backpack, shoulder bag, purses, handphone pouch and all. The inside of the bag has lining which is water proof. The quality is not bad. I am not sure where this bag comes from but it is pretty. My children love it too.

Anyone know where is it made?

How Stuff Works
11.27.07 | Permalink |Information| Comments Off

This is not a paid post. I stumble upon this “How Stuff Works” website a long time ago and it is really helpful. Basically it tells you how stuff works. If you want to know how your air cond, digital clocks, car, calculator, computer functions, the website can give you great details.

If I want to learn about an electronic gadget, I can refer to this website. It helps me get things working.

I found this interesting article entitled How can an iPod set your pants on fire — literally? Read it and for those who own iPod, becareful. If you ever get stuck on a gadget, refer to How Stuff Works!

Jusco Sale
11.24.07 | Permalink |Shopping| Comments Off

Yesterday I was at the Jusco sale with Emily. Wow it was havoc there with so many people queuing to get Jusco membership, to the fitting room, to pay and to grab good bargains. Oh well, I wanted to get a pair of shoes but the design wasn’t suitable. I ended up getting some groceries to cook today.

Milo, Nescafe, Darlie toothpaste, oil, maggi mee, drypers, detergent and many items were on sale. I got twin pack Darlie for RM9.00. The rest I didn’t get because I wasn’t able to carry. I saw many people buying so many stuffs and filling up their trolleys like Mt. Everest. I just want to get out of the crowd and go home.

Pre Booked Package At Matta Fair
11.23.07 | Permalink |Travel| Comments Off

Six months ago, I went to Matta Fair and got a package for room and water theme park in Bukit Merah. I want to bring my family there to have some fun. Due to my hubby and I busy schedule, we cannot find the right time for this. The package deal will expired end of the year and we have only December to work it out.

I called up the agent to have a weekend booking for December. Guess what? All are fully booked due to school holidays. Either that or the quota for the rooms is few. I had to resort to a weekday trip which means I have to take a day leave for it. Oh well, just for the children, we will do it.

A reminder to self, not to ever take a pre book package any more.

Comical Admin #2

CAdmin: I called to order paper 2 weeks ago, how come it hasn’t delivered yet.
SStaff: Bla Bla Bla…
CAdmin: What you mean no transport to Penang? What kind of excuse is this?
SStaff: Bla Bla Bla…
CAdmin: Do you mean we have to stop operations because the supplier has no transport to Penang?
SStaff: Bla Bla Bla…
CAdmin: You better do something about this. I don’t want people yelling at me because no paper.
SStaff: Bla Bla Bla…
CAdmin: Please don’t give me silly excuses. Get those papers over here.
SStaff: Bla Bla Bla….
CAdmin: Yes, please check for me. Bye!

She is absolutely right, some time support staffs give really lame excuses when it comes to issues. They will not bother to solve it to make things right. As I hear more and more of her stories, I really empathies with admins. Sometimes managers do abuse their power and ask admins to do impossible tasks. If you have an admin, treat her well.

Backdated: Bad Tuesday
11.22.07 | Permalink |Work| Comments Off

I was supposed to host a meeting on early morning Tuesday. However I arrived to the office, my colleagues told me network was down. I should have stayed at home and host the meeting from there. Sounds like my home have a more reliable network. I know a lot of people complain about TMNet broadband. Frankly, I didn’t face any outage or speed problem in my area.

After lunch, network came back on. At 3:15pm, Penang power outage. The best part was the other department had a Christmas tree and the lights were blinking so beautifully. Yes we have backup supply for our cubicles. Too bad the supply came back on after 15 minutes and everyone got back to work.

Google PR is back
11.20.07 | Permalink |Google| Comments Off

Last week, my Google PR was down to 0. Many suspected it was due paid links. I am not too sure myself. It was also indicated in Google web guidelines that paid links, linking scheme and hidden links to boost PR is not allowed.

Today my Firefox toolbar show PR 4 on mybabybay site and PR 3 on Gbay. I was really surprised that it is back to normal. I checked some of my fellow bloggers, some were back to normal and some still 0. Let’s hope everyone will recover from this glitch.

There is this admin who speak very loud and she can be very comical at times. Most people in my department can hear her funny and sarcastic remarks. I would like to share some with you.

She was on the phone with a support staff.

CAdmin: No we don’t collect notebook from the mail room.
Staff: bla bla bla *sorry, I cannot hear the conversation on the other end*
CAdmin: Usually, the notebook will be delivered to my department, we don’t go collect it.
Staff: bla bla bla bla…
CAdmin: You think today is my first day at work. I been working here a long time and I never collected the notebook from the mail room.
Staff: bla bla bla bla bla…
CAdmin: You go figure and call me back.

Other remarks at other time:

CAdmin: It takes so long for the support staff to answer to phone, hey I cannot wait forever.

CAdmin: This person walks in and out, never seen her get anything done. Just walk here and there. He certainly has a good life.

By now, everyone near her knows her problem. I think she knows it and maybe she would like everyone to know that too. More in the next episode.

Bad Habit
11.14.07 | Permalink |Myself| Comments Off

I always like to buy milo or teh tarik from my office vending machine. However I have a bad habit. When I insert the coins to the vending machine, I like to insert the bigger coins first. It is not very smart of me to do because once the vending machine ate up my coins. End up, I will loosing the higher value money.

I am trying to change my bad habit but sometimes the hand work faster than my brain. Lets hope I can train my hand to wait for my brain signal.

Coins Collection
11.12.07 | Permalink |Hobby| Comments Off

I always wanted to collect coins from every country. I like the US quarter, different state has different image related to the state. If you want to see the image of each state behind the quarter, look here.

I just won a bid in Ebay that have 80 different US state quarters. I cannot wait to receive it and admire it. By the way, my moms like to collect notes. She has a huge collection of it. I wonder who she will pass it to in the future.

Online Drama Series
11.10.07 | Permalink |Entertainment| 2 Comments

Lately I discovered a site where I can watch Chinese Drama Series online. The download is pretty fast and I can fast forward if I want to skip. The best thing is there aren’t any commercials. I just finish a 30 episode drama within a few days. How cool is that. Oh dear, there is so much for me to do yet so little time.

Anyway, it is better than chasing Chinese episode on TV as I always missing the final episode. Not sure whether it is a coincident or what. The final episode has to come on when I am busy on that day. With this I can watch anytime when I am free.

MP3 Player Bid
11.10.07 | Permalink |Shopping| Comments Off

My hubby was looking for a MP3 for his mom to hear some biblical audio. We scout around to look for an affordable one. However the price was sky high. Most of them were above RM130++. I took a look at ebay and found a 1GB mp3 player with a LCD display for the price of RM95. I won the bid and the seller will send it to us next week.

Lazy people like me do more shopping in ebay. At least with ebay or online shopping, I can survey the price. The only disadvantage is there is no testing if buying electronic items.

A Day Off…
11.09.07 | Permalink |Shopping| 2 Comments

I took a day off to have a 4 day long weekend. What did I do? I send the children to babysitter and hubby to work. After that, I went shopping. I finally can have some peace and quiet. I hopped in to MPH to read some books and got a couple of good Christian books. I had to use the RM50 voucher before it expired. Guess what? MPH gave me some more vouchers. *sigh* Anyone wants to exchange for cash?

I had greed curry rice at Food Loft. No pictures taken. I tried not to be like many bloggers, after the food is served, they take out their cameras. I can recognize a blogger with that.

I picked up a nice gift for Timothy’s school principal who is also my friend. She really helped Tim to get used to the school and assist him to read. Sometimes she takes him to lunch and shopping after school. She is a nice lady and makes great cakes too.

Time flies when I am enjoying myself. I picked my hubby from work and that’s the end. I must say it was a great day.

WiFi Mouse

My hubby gave me this cool wifi mouse some time ago. It is really a high tech mouse because it is also a transformer. It can transform from flat thing to a mouse. By the way, the inside tech is created by my hubby’s company. He got it free from his customers. It runs on a wifi technology which means no wire. It uses a USB connected as a receiver. It is also a laser mouse to move the pointer. It is easy to carry with me wherever I go.

Facebook
11.06.07 | Permalink |Uncategorized| Comments Off

At first I thought Facebook is a waste of time and still have that thinking. However one good thing with Facebook I found is that I could find my long lost friends. Due to the fact that it is getting popular, it has attracted many memberships. Ever since I joined I found 3 to 4 of my school mates that I didn’t keep in touch for 20 years. It is great to get in touch with them. If you want find your classmates, do search in Facebook. You never know who you can find there.

Murano Glass From Ebay
11.06.07 | Permalink |Auction, Shopping| Comments Off

I got this Murano Glass from Ebay. It is really cheap, I could get it for the bid of US1. However I was really disappointed because the seller was not truthful. He wrote in the description that it was from UK but really the glass is from Hong Kong. Secondly, the shipping cost from Hong Kong to Malaysia was overpriced. I guess it will be the last thing I will buy from the seller.

I have to be very careful with bidding in Ebay. I found a lot of items there are not what is expected. I did a negative feedback with regards to the above seller. It is funny that most of the seller can create fake feedbacks. It will be good if Ebay can let us filter ad view just the negative feedbacks.

Finally I have accumulated enough points to redeem the item I wanted from my credit card. However I am procrastinating whether to redeem it or not. It is a cool DV Digital Camcorder. It is good for recording video.

It is a 6 in 1 multi function with digital camcorder, digital camera with flash 3.1 MP, voice recorder, MP3 player, webcam and portable storage (exclude memory card). It has a 2” TFT LCD screen, 4x digital zoom, 16 MB internal memory and operates with rechargeable battery. It comes with a free CoolKit D2 MP3 Player.

Should I?
