LOL Now I know why...

The blog's been receiving unusually high traffic these few days. And all of them point towards my P1 WiMax W1MAX Wimax blog post (yes that's 3 key words for google to direct to my blog. Hehehe...). Got TONS of comments about it too. Some are for P1, some against P1, some for Streamyx, some against Streamyx. I investigated a bit and found out it's the #2 result when you type in "P1 W1MAX review". I guess a share of the traffic comes from those who clicked the first link as well.

Then sometimes I see links from adsense. I never knew how it came to that, until today:



LOL. That's free advertisement. Now I gotta buck up the contents of the blog.

Not that I'm complaining :-D

Shit I juz realised I do not have an Ads program for the blog. Anybody kind enough to help out?

LOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOL

Wait, I do. Now if you're kind enough pleaseclickonthempleasethankyouverymuchitsmuchappreciated.

UPDATE:
Oh shit this is very unexpected. The free ad appeared below The Star's report today about P1 getting a contract from MCMC. LOL report about P1, the ad below said 'gave up after day 3'. Summore the title reads 'P1 Review'.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Strategic ads placement?

I dreamt about frogs...

Not getting sleep for 2 days straight is a bad thing. It wasn't that I was nervous or wut. Juz couldn't get any sleep. No joke. The more you realise you're unable to sleep, the more panicked you get.

Then it happened. I finally got my eyes to shut yesterday night. It was weird how alert you were during the course of entering your first REM. Any noise will bounce you right up.

And when the REM kicks in, oh boy it was so wonderful you thought you've overslept, just to know you've only slept for 2 hours.

I dreamt about some frogs I keep as pets. They were frogs that get angry damn fast, and when they do, they won't move but grow these bright yellow weird horns or thick long pricks from it's head. The frogs were of course, bright dark green. They won't move one bit even when you push them or attempt to scrape them off the surface of your aquarium thing. And there's one stage where they'll evolve into some higher stage frogs that do exactly the same thing as before. And there's some weird mysterious ancient codes that were associated with the frogs' existence. Some fat parrots have to do wit it, with a shooting star sign thing on it's right eye.

The frogs dun even have super powers.

WTF, right?

I have done the unthinkable


All these years of whining have done no damage to TM Net's CEO's balls. If it ever had to do wit his balls, it sure did made it glory-er than ever. Why?

Instead of potong-ing, I went the other way: I upgraded my screamyx package. Part of the reason is that my current landline + streamyx package is too expensive and the new combo package is def cheaper. So opted for it and it came with a wireless modem.


It looks like a freakin toy! It certainly feels like one. The finishing are so bad the rough edges can be used to grate cheese, or chop trees. The reason behind it? It's made by some TM subsidiary I think. The modem UI is TM branded. Go figure.


It makes a good christmas tree substitute huh? Look..At..Those..Colorful..Flashing..Lights!!!!! Almost looks like candies!

As far as routing goes, there's only one Ethernet port so no way of using this to do LAN party, unless it's WLAN party. LOL.

This is the speed indicator within the modem. Kind of to trick you into believing something is happening:


This is your actual speed:




I guess TM has yet to 'activate' my line yet. I thought everything's 'online' when the fella came and 'activate' it from my house?

I'll give it until after Maths 2 for them to give me my full speed. Or not I'll shout POTONG TM CEO'S BALLS again.

So for you guys who clicked to my site coz my review of P1 post appearing in google, here you go. The verdict is: I have no choice but to go wit screamyx. P1's too unstable and expensive lerrrr

EDIT:
So the system takes overnight to update my speed? LOL. I wished for more stability, that's all...

The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

LOL Poems from the F4 anthology keep popping up in my brain whenever I become sober.

The road not taken. Sure you're gonna look back and say 'damn I'll leave it for another day', but you noe you won't be able to.

But where would the United States be on the world map if it was not for a sailor named Chistopher Columbus?



Which route to take? The road taken by everyone, said to be full of bumps and potholes but a pot of gold awaits at the end of the route? Or the one full of a mystery you've always wanted to discover and explore, with the risk of it ending with no pot of gold and leaving you with nothing and nothing only?

Too bad Google Earth doesn't have this place on it's map.

You rock!

In this context it's a little confusing.


'You rock!' normally means that someone is awesome and you wanna convey your appreciation towards that person.

But wut if 'rock' is just a name for another object? Like in the context of 'You pig!'

Now, all of a sudden, 'You rock!' sounds like you're saying that someone is like a rock, either
as stubborn as a rock, or as cold-hearted as a rock.

"...I guess words are a mothafucka they can be great,
Or they can degrade, or even worse they can teach hate...."

- Sing For The Moment - Eminem

Fuck'ed up, ain't it?

Feels like piggy-back riding someone all of a sudden.

It isn't this easy.

See the problem about the food channel is that it makes making food look so easy. It looks so darn easy that it makes you think you're doing something entirely different.

The way they cut through foodstuff look so easy. It's like all food are made of butter.

Their workflow is millimeter perfect that you'll think your cutting board is too small. Yes indeed...


Tried making this steamed fish thingy Jamie Oliver on The Naked Chef kept making (repeats, lol).

The heat:time ratio thing never got to me. I never got a hang of how long to cook stuff at what level of heat.

I thought: hrmm 100 C is boiling point, I'll put it at 150 for 25 minutes. Fish should cook that fast.

Fark. I took it out when the thing rings. The thin parts were cooked, the thicker parts were still fckin stiff and transparent. By the time I wanna put the package back in the oven has cooled off (it's a pretty small version). And I dun wanna wait 25 more minutes for the oven to heat up water to evaporate and cook the fish that way (latent heat, anyone? takes time...). Dumped it into the big frying pan and juz finished it off.

My god the next time I'm cooking fish, pan fry is the way to go. 5 minutes flat the thing's done, both sides.


The only downside is that the skins stick to the pan and strips the fish.

Tastes just like those sour sauce fish you order at restaurants, juz w/o the pickles.

I don't care next time I'm making curry from scratch.
