His mum told him not to use the Internet but subject known as Garyl, determined chat with his friends (maybe GF). He left home with his laptop around 2 am and wandered around the estate in search of a wireless network to tap

He manage to find one open network and logged on to the network. It was a bad day for him, got scolding from mum and he was spotted by this passing by driver who confronted him.

Later on, Garyl was arrested and became the first person in Singapore to be charged with encroaching upon someone else's wireless Internet connection under the Computer Misuse Act.

WoW honor farming

Been busy lately, doing PVP (Player VS Player) in World of Warcraft after new 2.01 patch has been released.

In the past, getting those stunning looking and superb attribute PVP armour & weapon seem nearly impossible for casual gamers. Why ? The requirements for the best armour & weapon is nearly insane! You need to be the highest rank - Grand Marshal for alliance and High warlord for Horde in order to make the purchase. To attain that rank, well, you need tones of honors per week and you need to keep your ranking at the top for consecutive 3 weeks in order to reach the highest rank.

With the new PVP system, those awesome armour and weapon are available for purchase using honor points earned. Each armour or weapon have a price tag and you can only purchase using the honor points you have earned.

Out of the 3 battlegrounds, 1) Alterac Valley 2) Arathi basin 3)Warsong
Both Arathi Basin and Warsong, give you very minimum honor point if not zero upon losing the game.
Only Alterac Valley will yield you the highest honor points gain regardless your fraction or victory.

Want to get your PVP armour & weapon in the easiest and the cheapest way(no engaging of farmer to grind on your account) ?
Tried of queueing for battleground ?
Want to spend time on other stuffs and get honor points simultaneously ?

Thus my Alterac Valley honor farming research begins.....

1) Initially I manage to make the process semi-automated, I had to manually queue for the battleground and autojoin the battleground using a addon, 'Asmo Honor Role' from curse-gaming.
a) After my character got into the game, I thought of two method to prevent my character of getting AFK out.
One : autorun into wall -> fail
Two : putting physical object on the 'forward' key of my keyboard -> fail

Well, there's actually a way to bypass the AFK mode after some observation with some try and errors.
2) How do I automate the whole process, auto queue > auto join > anti afk > auto queue again and repeat the cycle ?

You could use marco to automate the above process but there's a certain rules and exceptions that you need to add or aware in order for the whole cycle to repeat without fail to farm those Juicy honor!

Drop me a note if you wish to find out - How I automate the farming of honor in WoW.

Delicious

Anyone going Taiwan soon or saw this in retail shop in Singapore ?

World of Warcraft Burning Crusade Collector's Edition

oh my god, I know good stuffs get snatched away real fast once they are release in store. But this is way too much.

I wanted to get my hands on collector's edition for World of Warcraft Burning Crusade expansion. Thought a month before the official date of release would be enough to make the pre-order purchase but I was wrong.

First I make the pre-order via a friend's friend in mid October, once the acknowledgment came, I was happy(no searching high and low). One month later, the seller told my friend that he's unable to get the Collector Edition only the normal version. arghhhhh

Thus my search on the web began, went to a few sites like gamespot, amazon etc, the item was listed there but "sold out" man. Did a check on eBay and expecting the price to be higher than retail. Yes indeed, someone putting it for USD 219.99 which is like

219.99 USD
United States Dollars
= 338.899 SGD
Singapore Dollars

The price is ridiculous.

The search continued ......

finally found one site which might still have the stock.
HMV.co.uk They are selling for

39.99 GBP
United Kingdom Pounds
= 121.171 SGD
Singapore Dollars

Here's the product and it's content :





• World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade on both CD and DVD
• World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Behind-the-Scenes DVD
• The Art of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Hardcover Art Book
• Exclusive In-Game Pet: Netherwhelp
• Two World of Warcraft Trading Card Game Starter Packs, plus Exclusive Cards
• Map of Outland Mouse Pad
• World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Soundtrack CD

PS : Those who are interested WHY 5 Million people are playing World of Warcraft, I still have four 10 Days trial CD-key invite. Drop me a note.

2 Factor Authentication

I think most of us will have a bank account the only differences - bank, type of account and the amount inside =D.

Online shopping, fund transfer, bills payment, bank statement etc are services which combine the power of Internet and banking function.

Do you use Internet banking ? And what are the measures you took to ensure that personal information like Internet ID and pin are safe ? Some of the things I take note,
1)only use Internet banking on my personal PC/laptop.
2)Manually type in the Internet banking link on browser
3)clear history and cache of browser after usage.
4)ensure that your PC are spy ware and virus free
5)have a up-to-date antivirus program running

Here's another layer of security, ever hear of 2nd Factor Authentication ?
What's that ? and how it works ? Questions like these might pop and here's the answer.

Normally, you just need your ID and pin to access the Internet banking services from your bank's website. If anyone get to know about your personal information through some means, he would be able to gain access to your account.

With 2nd factor authentication, Internet banking user are require to provide a additional pin aka the OTP (one-time password, which is generate from a personal device you owned and it
stays valid only for a few minutes after it has been generated, and it cannot be used more than once.)

Every One-Time Password (OTP) is unique and can only be used in conjunction with a user's Internet Banking Access Code and PIN. So even if a hacker gains access to your Access Code and PIN, the 2nd level of authentication prevents further entry because the OTP can only be obtained via a personal device (2FA Token) owned by you.

If someone manage to get your OTP device without the account information, he won't be able to do anything too.

With all the above, it bring me back to what I learnt during my Uni days, Security comes with complexity. But users does not want too complex stuff and want the maximum security.

As a DBS user, I m issued with a OTP device 1 month back. Not much hassle getting use to a additional device. But here's a problem for those who use Internet banking outside eg office. You will need to carry the OTP device around even though it about a USB thumb drive size.

As OCBC user, I m given an option to pick 3 method of 2nd factor authentication.



1) a hardware token
2) a token application which can be downloaded and install into your mobile phone.
3) SMS token - I think this will be the most convenient way.

We live in Singapura

Wanna have a quick glimpse of Singapore history ?

check anmiation. Might take awhile to download (5mb)

We live in Singapura

Time never seem enough

Have you ever encounter the feeling that 24hrs a day isn't enough ? Everyone have 24hrs a day it's actually how you use it. If you divide the 24hrs into 8 hrs blocks.

8hrs for sleep
8hrs for work
8hrs for eat, bath, transport, family, personal time

well some might be able to sleep as little as 4-6hrs daily and wake up with full drive the next day but most of us will be dozing on desk...If you are those who have tips for sleeping less and feeling energetic the next day, please share =D

Work, if you are an employee you would not have much choice of cutting ya working hours but if you are a workaholic, chances are high that you easily spent 10-12hrs working. I would not categorize myself under this group but for the past few days I have been working 12hrs daily arghh. Felt so exhausted and moody. By the time I reached home, dinner, wash up etc, follow by tracking of stuffs I missed during the day(emails) as I was in the data server, surf a little on news and blogs and pooooh...foooo time for bed! If you are self-employee, the more you would want to maximize your earning and you would spent more time finding the ways and means to reach your goals.

Lastly, the final block for bath, meals, transport, family, personal. Lets see lunch and dinner will add up to about 2hrs(if you are doing the cooking and washing which is very time consuming, this may easily be 4-6hrs). As for the transport, normally it's 2 hours from source to destination and vice versa. Left with only 2hrs for family and 2hrs for personal.

24hours a day really seem so short and time does not stop and wait for you.

Traffic


Some analogy by bill from Amasci : "Merging-Lane Traffic Jams"

He's solution:

<<<<<
Normally, drivers who pack themselves tightly together whenever the traffic comes to a stop. Nobody can merge except the end of the jam. Note their speed.
>>>>>
Drivers with unusual behavior will encourage others to merge ahead of them and maintain large spaces ahead. This way, the merging is EASY. Compare the speed with the right.












Traffic jams on highways are often triggered where two lanes must merge into one, typical example CTE on peak hours. Lanes of cars move slowly to merge as there's hardly any gaps between cars. Therefore, drivers who create large gaps between cars will ease this type of traffic jam.

Here's the problem, this solution require effort of all drivers. How to make it work ? Get traffic police to draw a proposal for this and make it as a traffic rules ?

Shocking flashlight

What do you normally expect from a flashlight or touch light ? Or rather when do you use it ?

Like most people, I used it for seeing dark corners or see my way in the dark etc.

But check this "modified flashlight" wooo la la



Multi-function flashlight!! But beware of where you shine IT =D. I wonder if he had used special batteries.

Backup solution

I was actually looking for norton ghost software a few weeks ago. Why? Wanted to make a backup copy of my laptop OS with all the driver settings. Touch wood, if something happens (remember I had a pretty bad virus + trojan infection some months back) I was a painful thing to get rid of the invasion. Worst,
  1. reinstallation of OS
  2. software installation
  3. updates of OS and software
  4. drivers
  5. email settings
  6. profile/desktop settings
  7. browser settings
  8. msn settings
  9. software settings
  10. directories and folders management
blah blah was very time consuming, it took me about 3 days to restore everything.

Goods and Services Tax

Are you aware of the GST, "Goods and Services Tax" change in either next year or 2 years down the road?

Here's some interesting calculation from an email,

Example 1
In 2006, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $60,000, the income tax you need to pay is $2,700 (8.75%). If you spend $800 a month on needed goods and services, the GST paid for 5% will be $480

Total=$3,180 in Tax paid.

In 2007, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $60,000, the income tax you need to pay is $2,600 (8.50%). If you spend $800 a month on needed goods and services, the GST paid for 7% will be $672

Total=$3,272 in Tax paid.

From $3,180 to $3,272, the effective increase is 2.89%.


Example 2
In 2006, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $400,000, the income tax you need to pay is $61,650 (21%). If you spend $4,000 a month on needed goods and services, the GST paid for 5% will be $2,400

Total=$64,050 in Tax paid.

In 2007, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $400,000, the income tax you need to pay is $58,700 (20%). If you spend $4,000 a month on needed goods and services, the GST paid for 7% will be $3,360

Total=$62,060 in Tax paid.

From $64,050 to $62,060, the effective decrease is -3.11%.


Example 3
In 2006, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $25,000, the income tax you need to pay is $187.50 (3.75%). If you spend $800 a month on needed goods and services, the GST paid for 5% will be $480

Total=$667.50 in Tax paid.

In 2007, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $25,000, the income tax you need to pay is $175 (3.5%). If you spend $800 a month on needed goods and services, the GST paid for 7% will be $672

Total=$847 in Tax paid.

From $667.50 to $847, the effective increase is 26.89%.

The conclusion of the email : "The poorer you are the more the GST is going to make you
poorer "

Hmmm there's the blink spot I discovered. If you take use the same avg spent per month for all the 3 examples, the example two will have a 4.7% increase. BUT I wonder if that someone would just spend $800 per month when he/she like earning $400,000 per annual which break down to about $33k per month.

how bad is bad ?

Ever wonder if a person will wake up daily and the first thing that comes into their mind before they went out of the house - Astrological or Horoscope reading?

Just curious if anyone does that daily as there are many websites that provide free daily analysis of your horoscope without or with a simple sign up.

Well how did that question pops ? There was a job yesterday which I need to picked some stuffs from point 'A' to point 'B'. Awaited about near to 1hr 30 minutes just to get the floor manager to open up the data center door. Get him to wait 5 minutes while I grabbed the stuffs and out. I m supposed to get 4 packs of RAM. I checked on the first two packs on the top to verify it's the correct item and went out. When I reached the ground level, I took a quick look and taDDDaaaaa "Both Dimms faulty" on the 3 pack !!! And the guy who can help me open the door is GONE!!!!!!
ARghhh went back and call the command center follow by another 30 minutes wait.

Next, took a cab from site 'A' to site 'B', it was a long drive man and the fare cost $15.90. Upon reaching the destination, I asked the uncle for receipt so I could make the claims from the company but somehow the machine didn't work. Alternative, he tried to find the manual paper receipt booklet BUT it's all USED UP!!! Arghhh drop off without the receipt.

Took a quick break before we start, went to the vending machine to get some drink...... IT's HUNG with "$0.10", we tried to insert the 10 cents coin but it didn't work (times when money is useless).

Next lunch time, wanted to eat "Qiu Lian ban mian" and went purposely to one of the coffee shop outside Temasek poly. But !!!!!!! It's gone!!!! Thus I ended up with the one dollar chicken rice ( slide track: there was this lady in front of me. When the staff asked for her order, she replied, "2 packages of duck rice" I was gosh..... what have you been doing while waiting, didn't you saw the sign board - "$1 Chicken rice" and they didn't hang up any duckie)

Lastly, a hair cut at Storm(Century Square). I was composing an sms and suddenly one of the staff came beside me and Pooooo, she just laid the robe cover over me while I was composing my sms, I mean can't she see it. She came back with the hair dye and started spreading, somehow the pressure and the way how she do it, doesn't make me feel professional at all. During the hair wash she did a abruptly job too. Though they serve drinks there, she didn't even ask. Bad bad service or rather it's just that woman. Felt like asking her, hey are you on PMS, if so please vent your frustration on something else.

Adding up all the incidents, what's the rating of a bad day? 1- 10 Or do you have worst to share ?

Dbl O

WoW got this info from lala's blog, The CLOTHES STORE in Dbl O !!

Haven been there in a long long long long time.......

Anyone been there recently ? or planning to go there ?

According to lala's blog - The store carries sexy women clubbing attire. Here's the EYE CANDY for guys, "the walls are made of transparent glass..so they can see girls trying out clothes from outside (if they are lucky).

A thought from her, "On the contrary, if you tried to pick up a girl, you might end up having to buy her something from the store too. Wahaha..." well if you are going for attractive ladies, think deeper, they will have a hell long queue of wuss trying to please them with gift.

Another thought "Seriously, maybe they should consider selling men stuff too..or sex toys?? Ya'know..for the after party...oOOoo...." NOD nod how could they miss this ?

"they should definitely sell condoms!! Sure a lot of people buy...have a promotion on it...like buy 5 now but we'll keep it for you..for the next time you need it...yeh...so they have a "locker" service to help men keep their condoms when they need it the next time they return to Dbl O...keeps them coming back too...for more...." old but GOOD. recycled marketing strategy from the alcoholic beverages.

Plaza Star Bowl

"leh long leh long" 1 for $1 | "leh long leh long" 1 for $1

Hey what is the dollar deal about ? What's the lowest rates you have come across for a 10 frame bowling game ?

Thought Marina South was the lowest, having $1.5 on weekdays (if i remember correctly) BUT this offer gonna knock you down! Yeah A dollar a game, player play all the way. And it's on a Saturday.

Got to know about this place from a colleague, Plaza Star Bowl at Textile Center lvl 8.

Went there with Zk last week. Reached there around 10+ in the morning and play it to our hearts man!!

After first game (warm up), we decided to play punch - loser pays. Though I kept losing till ZK had to make an offer of giving 30 pts lead per game =\. Somehow I just can't get the momentum correct. I will do well for a few frames and something unusual will happen.

In the end, I paid for 15 games and he paid for only 3 games - each of us played 9 games. My master hand is worn out man with cuts and skin tear. If we gonna play it somewhere else, we gonna keep thinking about the money and I swear after 2 rounds of punch I will give up. Imagine paying 15 games somewhere else with a average rate of 3 bucks, it would be a whopping $45


PS: $1 per game from 10am - 2pm | 2pm -6 pm is $2 (well still Cheap la). The staff doesn't ask you for any IDs or cards for opening the lanes. They really trust those bowlers?

Oh my it's near to BUTTON SIZEeeeee........



Technology is cool shrinking the size of gadets, what if it get too small? will you misplace it ?

Wonderful Human Mind

Got this from jo,


If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink.

If you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green.

Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period of time, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating.

Choose ya seats

Are you one of those that strongly prefer getting a seat near to the window for flights ? think there's a name for those seat but I can't remember.

Heard the news a few days ago, Singapore Airlines has implemented 14 automated check-in machines @ Terminal 2.

Well initially I do not see the point of having those machines, base on the service rate of the usual check-in I m a pretty satisfy passenger (maybe I don't travel that much) it does take more than 10 minutes.

With these automated machines, does it really save much more time ? You still have to
let officers verify your travel documents and bag contents. But I like the last part about choosing the seats (they mentioned about checking-in from home via Internet too) so if you got a group of friends travelling, don't worry about meeting at the airport early to grab the seats or 'good seat'.

A day with Sis

There was this Hokkien food festival going on last weekend, How I got to know about it ? Met up with Sis on Sat and we were looking for place to makan. She got this cash tickets for the hokkien food festival happening at bas bazar. As we were heading there, I said, "the food better be nice!" Why? It was raining heavily and we had to walk from Bugis junction to bas bazar. Both our jeans got drench with the heavy downpour and strong wind even though it was a rather short distance.

I threw a question to her, "What are the list of hokkien food ?" As expected, "Hokkien mee". Well that what I thought so too as the name suggest =D.

When we arrived, there are about easily 20 stores selling various dialect group delicacy. BUT I cant find hokkien mee.

We had to move through the crowd and stepping into the flooded area due to the heavy downpour. Arghhh the feeling of wearing a WET sock!!!

She told me to look for seats while she ques =D wonderful to have a sis.

Got this minced pork "mian xian", pretty tasty, it would be better to have it in soup base.
After dishing out the first dish, her food hunting continues ......

After a few minutes, she would come back with something

There are a few more, some biscuits, "kong ba with kuey" ( there's this "kong ba bao" store but haiz.... we passed. Why ? The queue is AMAZING, we reached there around 1pm plus and till the time when we are about to go which was about 3pm, the length of the queue look similar to me! NO CHANGE!!)

Before we left the place, we went around the stores, there was this store selling tea leave. Promoting their house brand, "fuo shou shen", when he showed me the product and I saw the price tag!! guess how much it cost ? Well maybe I m not really into tea leaves, it cost $50 for a box (the size is slightly bigger than the Styrofoam cups)

Sis bought these for my family , one word "thoughtful"!
There were two store selling this, Sis bought it from the first store and we walked past the second store which have the sample in small chewing piece. I picked up one and tried, "hmm, it taste GOOD!" to the staff and follow with, "Great! I bought it" haha kinda bad ? =D
This sesame rolls feel chewy and tasty

If not, which the company that train these staffs...... If the work is long, even if the guy didn't fall off, he would have blood clog in the brain(the gravity pull effect is much higher).

If I m the camera man and not the owner of the bicycle, you know .........


100% Photoshop!!!!

Singaporean opinion of e world

Picture tells a thousand words. How true man


Click on the picture to see a larger version, =\ no space to squeeze

  1. ebays, milo (hmm see no links),
  2. Man U (why not EPL, biased)
  3. need help(WTO working on it)
  4. oil (highest military conflict zones)
  5. programmers (YEAH RAISED BOTH hands and legs)
  6. 'branded' goods and nice girls (food, shopping heaven and not forgetting pretty babes too, looking forward to the beach resort trip.)
  7. Mafia (avoid going there)
  8. Industrial park (why not "made in cXxxa")
  9. Chou Tofu ("Cantonese" comes to my mind)
  10. Ultraman (High Tech, sushi, Gozilla)
  11. DVDs (Cheaper petrol)
  12. Domestic helpers (nod)
  13. Part of batam (Should be haze and living heaven - Bali resorts, guess how much it cost for 1 week stay at their 4-stars resort ? )
  14. Retirement village (is that true ?)
  15. lastly, the 'Fine' City.( little red dot huh BUT this dot produce lots of top ranking in the world.)

(Orange!)What comes to your mind ?

In Japan, if you saw someone walking or running with orange spots or large orange patches on them ALERT!!! they aren't entertainer trying to amuse you. They indicate something ......



Yeah the 'Bad people' eg. robbers, thief or maybe rapist

In my opinion, if it's against armed robbers/thief it kinda of dangerous to throw the ball against them. Under the extreme fear and stressful environment, the offender might lose their mind and hurt you after or even before you tried to throw the ball.

But if it's against rapists, I think it's more effective, the victims can aim for the offender face and it create a instance impact on the offender's mind (fear of being recongise after he committed the crime) But 2 considerations,
a) Accuracy require - must land offender's face/prominent body parts
b) The orange stain must be stay for over 3 weeks.

Flea Market

Many Singaporean are going the entrepreneur way nowadays, just visited one of my friend's online blog store. Found something interesting.

FHM poker cards.

kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Buy it for collection and give support to my friend (well the ratio might be 8:2) haha But, hey! it's the thoughts followed by actions that counts.

This the 'Misc item store' & 'fashion series'.

Fox Birthday

Think I have imbue 'fear' among my poly mates. Approved ying's testimonial on friendster and quote from her "Mastermind if not planning committee of the birthday sabo" ermm really tat bad ? Hmm for fox I remember during his birthday during poly year 2/3, I purple 20+ packs of plastic bags 1/4 filled with flour and 20+ packs of plastic bags filled with iodine mixed water. The combo ruined his favourite "fox" long sleeves T-shirt.

Jo suffered the worst, apart from the conventional eggs, ice cube, flour, whipped cream spray Guess what I brought ????????



Got 1 Bottle of cooking oil from Cheers
Yucks to think of it now, really bad man =\. Think she bath for 3 times and still feel oily.

As for zk, we throw him into the pool during winter season in the middle of the night. Simple and nice.

Maybe due to the above past records, when I send out an SMS to fox on the day of his birthday, asking him out for dinner at Geylang, he replied " Dun do anything funny hor, later I dun turn up." In my mind, even if I really got "something" for you, do you think I will openly tell you ? haha. Well it was a pretty delicious dinner, we had 2 pots frog legs(gong bao + jiang chong) plus 3 other dishes at "G7" quite popular man full house filled with hungry customers. 6 persons sum up to about 70+.

Here's some of the celebration pictures,
Fox at G7 waited since 1900hrs. Zk and me reached at 1945hrs. The rest hmm another 30-45 minutes later. Who says birthday boy is the biggest lol.

Celebration @ 'HIGH'








Have you seen people cut cake this way, 0.o ? I discovered one that day.
