OSX on Intel..

yeay.. finally.. Mac OS X is available on Intel platform.. the most awaited moments for most computer geeks..
well, actually, there has been a discussion about this move from Apple.. wether it's a good move or not.. hmm.. for me there are always been pros and cons for this move from Apple.. it's depend on users wether to exploit it or make a good use of this opportunity.. i dont know wether this good news has reached malaysia or not.. wait, i have to search from their site for a moment.. hmm.. whoa.. of course they've reached malaysia.. RM579 for a single user licence, RM899 for a family pack of 5 licences.. and all of a sudden, my palm itches.. heh..
come to think of it.. by the end of the year, there will be more OS X running on Intel based pc.. and this means there will be more profit for the pirates.. i remembered how micro$oft said that the biggest pirate bay was in South East Asia.. lol.. as always, n i dont know y, those westerners always look at asians in a negative ways.. but when it comes to prostitution, heh, asian is a heaven for them.. how come they didnt see anything about their own software pirate.. and i named a few of them such as 'the piratebay', 'astalavista', 'demonoid' n much more.. of course users like me always make use of these opportunityto get the latest, cool stuff for free.. and dont worry, if i do like 'em, i will try to make sure i get the original and licenced unit.. if i think it doesnt worth my $, the 'Add/Remove Software' icon will be busy..
and in my opinion, i dont know wether Steve Jobs are doing this to help people who cant afford to buy PowerPC machines or he just tries to follow Bill Gates move on monopolying (huh?) the pc market.. and again, the users will now have to decide wether to choose Windows or Mac OS X.. *sigh*.. maybe, end of this year, i predict that in the internet, Jobs name will be change to $teve Job$.. lol.. who can decide.. of course, we do.. the power of buyers..

long silence..

hmm.. sorry for not posting anything for a long time.. it was almost two or three weeks now.. hmm.. a bit busy here.. with the shocking event that struck my family members, and i was still researching for info on my current project..
hmm.. bout the event, i cant say much about that as not all of my family members knew about it (although i think they knew).. i just hope that person will find the strength that he/she needs within our own family (not from some strangers).. our families shoulder are always ready to support u guys and are always ready to bare the pain together.. maybe we didnt show it as much as u needed, but still, believe me, WE CARE.. nobody wants these kind of event in their live but still, fate is always in Allah's hands.. it's up to us on how we accept the fate.. and a little advise from me.. throw away those ego.. please.. u wont gain anything from that ego in this kind of situation.. this time, it wont help u much.. eventhough u said that u can accept the afterlife, i knew u still trying to reach for the pastlife.. struggling.. and it hurts our hearts so much to know that.. we dont want anything like this at all.. no more changes needed..u dont have to beg for the pastlife, i think the truth can mend everything.. remember this..
which one is better..?? a bitter truth or a sweet lie..??
hmm.. about my project.. i was just trying to explore UNIX system right now.. yeah, i know it's too late for me to learn.. most of my friends are already recognized as well known geek hackers.. heh.. i fell in love with OSX Tiger from the PowerMAC G5 from the university i work for and i had just found out that OSX was a UNIX based OS.. so, what i need to do now is start back from the scratch.. i had a little experience on Linux back on my 'golden years' and seriously, those experience has been volatiled completely due to lack of practise.. *sigh*.. if only i choose the path that my friends took after skool.. most of them explored those open source life straight away from the beginning, while i was busy searching for work experience.. but then, if i chosed that path, i think i wont be here now.. i wont be married to Kecheq, i wont be having a neurotic cat @ home, i wont be working here in this place i'm currently blogging, and i even wont be having this kind of life.. maybe it would be much nicer life, or maybe it would be much worst life.. whatever it is, i still thanked Allah for everything He gave me and for everything He will give me in the future.. Alhamdulillah..
i'll try to post again soon.. sorry to keep u guys waiting..

*sigh*..

*sigh* i dunno y, everytime i launched YIM, there will be an offline msg left by some of my friends.. it would be a msg that said, "stop Israels attack by not buying this and that", "the malay girl who turn to christian case" and so on.. i dunno what their intention is but i want to make a statement here.. i know your intention is good, but what u're doing is wrong.. not that i'm against u guys or i support Israel or the 'murtad' girl, it's just that what the use of spreading the words to other ppl..?? there are reasons y i hate this things..
about boycotting stuff from certain countries.. i know that some of u guys are just making it up.. remember the case where on of the favourite fast food in malaysia, Maggi was labeled not safe for muslim to eat due to someone claiming that Maggi was using some non-halal stuff..?? did Maggi was stopped from being in the market..?? hmm.. i dont think so.. and there was a case where some people claimed that they made a study of some foods in malaysia.. and the results were shocking.. most of them are using non-halal ingredients.. but.. heh.. did the foods disappered from the market..?? i dont think so.. i remember that someone passed on some fliers while i was on my way to Friday prayer in '97.. they claimed that the major drinks suppliers in malaysia was using their trucks to transport porks to major supermarkets to avoid detection.. huh..?? at that time, my uncle was one of the truck driver of that company.. and he laughed about it.. he said that it was a hoax done by someone who got fired from the company.. his intention were to bring down the company of course.. *sigh* again.. i want to ask u guys a question.. if the so-called company has been claimed of using non-halal ingredients in their products, how come that their products still in the market..?? did the JAKIM (think so) didn't do their job of making sure non-halal can't reach Muslim..?? y didn't the government do something if the products has been studied and proven guilty of using non-halal ingredients..?? i remembered last year the greatest hoax started by one of the biggest tabloid in malaysia.. and to tell u the truth, i hate that tabloid.. let me give u a clue.. HM.. figure that out.. heh.. about sausage.. lol.. at that time i received an email saying something like this.. "all the brands of sausage makers in malaysia are using pork meats in their sausage.. except for one.. the 'R' brand.. so, buy the 'R' brand".. lol.. wasn't that obvious..?? that some from the 'R' brand are trying to bring down their competitors..?? maybe God try to show them something after 5-6 months later the 'R' company being sued of polluting.. the factory was near to my home.. how i wish i could laugh in front of them.. come on guys.. think of the logics.. why did the brand still markets their products eventhough 'someone' studied that non-halal ingredients was used in the products..?? i dont think that they can bribe JAKIM to let them go.. if JAKIM was bribed, they would surely knows that they will be burn in hell for letting muslims in this country eat something non-halal.. please stop the hoax..
and about the girl who tried to 'murtad'.. as i said before, the last msg that i got was she has been successfully converted to christian.. *sigh* i hope she burned in the deepest of hell for that.. but, i still dont agree with some of the actions that has been taken by some irresponsible people that has been spreading this news.. what did u expect by the msg "we have to stop this.. please forward this and please dont just delete this msg" n such..?? are u hoping by forwarding the message u can stop people from converting..?? come on la.. didnt u know that what u have done was actually encouraging someone to convert..?? let me give u an example.. some boy, aged below 18 launching his YIM and got that msg.. 'some girl has successfully converted by winning her case in malaysia'.. and this boy thinks, "wow, now i can converted coz i surely can win just like that girl".. *sigh*.. can't u guys think of that..?? a truth sometimes are better be left untold.. i remembered that the tabloid, HM, trying to create a propaganda by disclosing a case of students marking the chins with a line using a coin that has been heated.. that case was in the northern side of malaysia.. it was around '95.. i used to hang out at Sg Wang at that time.. and i remembered that a week before that disclosure the kids at Sg Wang was normal.. err.. actually, a bit normal.. but after the f**king tabloid write about that phenomenon, suddenly, almost 70% of the kids hanging out at sg wang has a marking on their chins.. wtf..?? hey HM.. are u glad that your sales are good..?? didnt u care that some people are ruined by your so-call studies..?? u're making money by doing a bad thing.. *sigh* again..
i know most of u guys have heard of the magazine that told some supernatural storied.. i want to call them as 'M'.. i know u guys can guess correctly.. i just hate their approach on supernatural cases in malaysia.. how they sold their zines by telling other people about some people's not so good situation.. how this man was hard to be buried after his death due to his bad deeds during his life.. how this woman was suffering of vomitting blood and maggots a few hours before she died.. hmm.. i wonder how did the families feels about that.. humiliated..?? of course.. i know that the 'M' was in good intention by telling stories that we cant do bad things while we're still breathing.. but, i just hate the fact that they're making money out of humiliating other people.. pity for the victim's families.. when they go out on public, people would say, "hey, he's the son of the man who can't be buried due to his bad deeds".. *sigh* again..
as i said before.. some things are are better be left untold.. to all my friends who just love to mass forwarding this kind of messages, please think before taking any action.. same advice for those who loves to mass forward emails of this kind of things.. hmm.. then again.. this is just my tormented thoughts..

sandwich..

bought myself a HWM malaysia two days ago.. didnt have the time to read it on the day itself, but today, i manage to read almost all the articles in there.. or maybe browsing thru.. heh.. HWM is a zine that displays all the new gadgets and hardware straight from the manufacturer.. sometime the gadgets is not available yet in malaysian market, but somehow the HWM team manage to get those item first.. yeah i know that manufacturer sends their product to HWM for a review and thats why they get to know the product first in malaysia.. i wish i'd work for HWM as the tester for the new gadgets.. everytime i bought the zine and everytime i browse thru them, my head would be shaking.. all those new gadgets makes me wonder, i wish i could buy all those things.. am i a gadget freak..?? i think so.. 80% of me.. i asked the question my wife a few minutes ago, before she went to sleep.. she said maybe.. heh.. HWM made a review on the latest Windows Mobile phones and i still thinks that O2 Atom's the best.. but HWM says that Atom was a sure attract womens gadget, but i still thinks that i would be thanking Gos if i could own one.. and for sure i would be thanking anyone that is so kind to buy me one.. heh.. i wish.. my current PDA phone is HP H6365.. an early 2005 model.. TI OMAP processor that runs on 200mhz.. nowadays, all the pda phone are run on 400+ processor.. but i still love my phone due to the big screen for me to browse the applications..
owh, before i forgot.. on the day i bought the zine, me n my wife was having a dinner at Sate Hj Samuri, Medan Mara.. i'm sure many of u has tried the satay before if u're a malaysian.. but.. hehe.. have u ever make sure the amount of satay that arrived on your table tally with the amount that u ordered..?? on that day, somehow, i counted the satay sticks.. just to make sure.. we've ordered 15 sticks of chicken satay, 10 sticks of beef satay and 5 sticks of 'perut' satay.. and as i expected (as i have been thru this before), it was only 12 sticks of chicken satay arrived.. heh.. it was the second time at the same place.. dunno wether the seller does it on purpose or what.. luckily, i'm the patience kind of guy type.. i politely ask for the remaining 3.. heh.. a little advise for u guys.. try to count those sticks before u eat.. 3 x RM0.60 = RM1.80.. i can use the RM1.80 for a ride on LRT back to our house.. la la la..
and still, the queue problem in malaysia can not be helped.. as always, even there's a queue, people would cut it.. dunno why.. maybe they're proud to do that.. or maybe they're having a problem with queues.. they just can't queue.. maybe if i charge RM1 to those people who loves to cut queues that i encountered in everyday's life, i could be a millionaire in a short time.. if i kill those people maybe i would be called a serial killer due to lots of murders..
oh yeah.. 'Rockstar' was aired on local tube last night.. i just love the Steel Dragon songs (and the movie of course).. especially 'We All Die Young'.. Mark Wahlberg plays a good rockstar in the movie.. did you know that Mark Wahlberg is really a singer.. and if i'm not mistaken, he sings hiphop instead of rock.. but, all those song he sings in the movie was not using his own voice..
all these events written in one post.. that's a sandwich to me.. my wife ask me, did i post anything on my blog today..?? i had a lot in my mind to write.. i can create 3 - 4 posts in a day.. but i think it's better i write it all in one post..

another boring day..

*sigh*.. i dont know what to do.. it seems like there's no work for me right now.. actually, that's my problem during every semester in this university.. everytime a new semester starts, i got no work to do.. only if there's a case of IT failure, i will be running here and there.. if nothing happens, hmm.. i will be sitting bored in my room.. but when the semester break period comes, i got no time even for a smoke.. i would spend my time in the labs.. but then, in a year, there was approximately 3 months of semester break, and the rest of the months will be a boring day for me in the office..
i had just finish up the game 'Lord of The Ring - Battle for Middle Earth 2'.. it took me 4 days to finish it up.. all the good campaigns and evil campaigns were done within those 'no work to be done' time.. heh.. i even managed to influence one of my collegue here to play the game.. heh.. unlucky for us that we cant compete in a network game.. *sigh*.. it'll be fun for sure..
am i a gamer..?? err.. my wife told me that i am a gamer.. she even give me a a papercutting titled 'how to know if you're a gamer'.. i can only remember a few of 'em, and of of them was 'there will be an indented mark on your computer chair', 'u'll be talking in elvish in your everyday communication' n such.. heh..
as i'm writing this post, i'm burning DVD copies of Mospeada that i got from a collegue of mine.. do u remember Mospeada.. i didn't recall the name at first when cayak mention it to me last two weeks.. it was one of the version of Robotech in the 90's.. the one that the bike u ride can turn into a mecha on a push of a button.. i saw the series during my skool days..
err.. what to do next to kill my time..?? err.. i dont know.. please suggest something..!!
