Hello, blog

I think I've forgotten how to update the blog.

It's been almost a year! Why did I even bother renewing the domain last year if I were to neglect this blog kan. Pppfft.

Watch and vote your fave Ramli

So, the Mencari Ramli 2 show has started  airing from 19 April 2013 on TV3 every Friday, 7.30 pm to 8.00 pm with 12 episodes in total. 

I can say that I'm so proud to watch the kids, so young yet so talented in showing their talent in playing football. They really show their spirit and courage to be voted as the best among the best young Malaysian footballers. 

I'm happy to see faces of true Malaysians of all races contesting to be our next Ramli. We have Malays, Chinese and Indian boys - from east and west Malaysia - giving their all on the field to win the chance to attend the two weeks training session at MUSS and a 3-year football scholarship at Frenz United Football Academy, as well as watching Manchester United in action at the glory glory Old Trafford. I think it is also cute to see that there are twin brothers on the show. They could be the next Rafael and Fabio da Silva. Hehe.

My very stupid mistake

Sobsss.

I used to have a Gmail account associated to my old blogshop. I registered this blog account with a Yahoo account. A few years later, Gmail and Blogger merged or something so all must use only Gmail account for log in. I remember linking my Yahoo account with the Gmail-blogsop account. In addition, I also added my Gmail-personal account as my blogs admin. Then, I started to blog with my Gmail-personal account for log in.

But since I closed down the blogshop, I decided to delete the Gmail-blogshop account as well. Eventhough I do not check the email anymore, I just feel like deleting it anyway. And so, without thinking much, I did.

Then only I realize that all the photos embedded in all my blogs posted BEFORE I started blogging with my Gmail-personal account for log-in were uploaded by the Gmail-blogshop account. And all the photos are gone together with the email account.... *sigh* *cry* All the photos were 'kept' online with the email or something like that I don't know how to put it in words,  so there you go... I have hundreds of posts WITHOUT pictures. Just hundreds of photos of an exclamation mark.

Yeah... my blog is now full of this. :(

The search of the next Ramli begins

Haven't you heard? TM is looking for the next Ramli!!

Yes? And as a fan of the *ehem*ehem* 20 times champion of the Premier League, Manchester United, I am very excited to know that TM is giving a great opportunity to offer three talented Malaysian a trip to the Manchester United Soccer School, to visit Old Trafford and a three year scholarship to attend Frenz United Football Academy.

The objective of the programme is to provide a platform for young footballers to realize their football dreams. TM also hope to help raising the standards of local young football dreams and get the parents to see the potential in their own children through Mencari Ramli 2, hence will provide a solid support system to the children. Beside that, the programme also aims to encourage the Team Malaysia spirit through this reality show.

Blogger for iPhone

I've downloaded the Blogger for iPad for quite some times now but haven't give it a try yet. Now that I'm in the car, so bored waiting for my husband coming back from work so we can go back to parents-in-laws' place, let me try this Blogger for iOS specifically iPhone. Hehe.

Hope this application is useful so I dont have reasons to leave my blog not updated for a long time. Hehe. But reading the reviews of this apps, I think it is not that user friendly. But lets just give it a try and see how it turn out to be. Ok hubby's here! Daaa!

I miss....

I miss hanging out lepak makan tengok wayang window shopping doing outdoor activities blablabla. I feel like I haven't watched any movies since ages!

I miss tweeting. I miss being a Twitter addict. I miss holding my phone while having meals, checking on the Tweetdeck every 5 minutes just to communicate randomly with the Twitter friends. :(

I even miss hanging out in front of the television at home doing nothing at all. Or watching TV series on my iPad. Yeah.. I have downloaded two episodes of Revenge, four episodes of Glee, three episodes of New Girls and few others and they are still in my waiting list to be watched. . Haishh.

I miss lying down on the bed reading my favourite book.

And the thing that I miss the most is blogging! I have so much to tell but I'm too busy to blog. :(

I need the time on my own.
I just have to get through with THIS, and then I'll have all the time I needed, insyaAllah. And then I'll do massive update to this blog.

In the meantime, I hope I pray that everything will go well. Semoga semua urusan dipermudahkan Allah. Aminnnn~

p/s: Thanks Baiti and Hanie for the surprise you guys arranged last Saturday. Suka sangat! Love u guys a lot!!!

p/s 2 : It's a final countdownnnnn! *CUAK MODE SWITCHED ON*

Nokia N8 – Capturing Penang with the 12MP camera

Through these few days I’ve spent with the Nokia N8, yes there are few things that do not satisfied me. But, as a person who love photography, I’d say Nokia N8 is by far the smart phone with the best camera built.
Nokia N8 offers its 12 megapixels (mp) camera with Carl Zeiss optic, maximum aperture f/2.8 with xenon flash. The flash range is 3-3.5m for normal condition. The camera has the wide-angle capabilities of a 28mm lens which would be very convenience than the typical 35mm. The 1/1.83” sensor used in the N8 uses 1.75 micron pixels which, with its 12-megapixel resolving capability, results in a sensor larger than most compact digital cameras. The ISO range is ISO100 (default), ISO400 and ISO800.

In a video of Dr. Hubert Nasse of Carl Zeiss talking about the N8 camera module during Photokina 2010 in Cologne, he stated that the Carl Zeiss lens inside the N8 are made out of 5 single optical elements with complex shapes never seen before in large scale optics. This results in excellent image quality.

The camera function of the Nokia N8 included of some setting options like Scene mode, Self-timer, Colour tone, White Balance, Light Sensitivity (ISO) and the Face detection, which are mostly available in compact digital camera.

So, below are some untouched pictures taken with the Nokia N8. The 12mp size photos are in 4:3 ratio while the 9mp photos are in 16:9 ratio.

Penang Bridge. Landscape mode. 9mp.

Nokia N8 – Social Networking made easy

If you’ve been reading my blog for quite some times, you would came across this post and know that I am a total social network addict especially Twitter. I check my Twitter and Facebook for like once every 5 minutes.

When I first received the Nokia N8, I wonder if its social networking-friendly. What I did first was to download all available Social Network application from the Ovi Store, and it was easy. Thanks for my Maxis Unlimited Data plan, I don’t have to worry to download as many application as I want :P

USM Bloggers nights out

Finally setelah asyik nak keluar sama-sama tapi x pernah menjadi, kami (some of USM bloggers) berjaya mengumpulkan diri dan keluar bersama sebelum mereka-mereka yang di Tahun Akhir meninggalkan USM dan meneruskan kerjaya masing2. Terima kasih semua, lebih2 lagi orang2 yang x abes exam lagi. ;p

1st time jumpa semua (selain Hadi, Sally & Nik) was the night before yesterday (check live update from Hadi & Sally). Saje melepakkan diri di Bistro Mohamad, Nibong Tebal. Masa tu plan2 konon nak keluar lagi, tapi disebabkan ke-busy-an masing2 – ada yang x habis exam lagi, ada yang nak balik kampung halaman dah, ada yang nak pergi Terengganu for scuba test etc. – so we made the plan up utk keluar dinner yesterday.

Oh, FYI, Sally is a guy, okay. Haha.

So, there we were – Secret Recipe, Juru.

My dinner; Prawn Macaroni & Cheese and Iced Caffe Latte ( Mac&cheese yg very cheesy! klau berat naik lagi jgn bising2 la ye.. T__T )

Lily & Haaziq

Lepas dinner, they wanted to hangout somewhere since some of us still need foods (haisshh~ ;p), konon nye nak lepak Pelita for soups, tapi panas. Nak tempat aircond konon. isk. So tempat persinggahan seterusnya.. McDonald’s.

Kat McDonald’s bumped into another USM Bloggers, DeeDee. We finally met for the first time also. :D Kate je duduk sekampus tapi x pernah jumpe pun. Macam la USM Kampus Kejuruteraan ni besar sgt pun. :P

Me, Sally, DeeDee & Hadi

The Postcard Crossing Project

Do you like to swap postcards from all over the world?
How do you feel to received mails from random country and random sender?
It’s been 83 days till today since i registered with the PostCrossing.com which i knew from random googling. I’ve sent 13 postcards and received 14 postcards, till date, to all around the world. So, what is PostCrossing?

The Project
“The goal of this project is to allow people to receive postcards from all over the world, for free. Well, almost free! The main idea is that: if you send a postcard, you will receive at least one back from a random Postcrosser from somewhere in the world.
Why? Because, like the author, there are lots of people who like to receive real mail.
The element of surprise of receiving postcards from different places in the world (many of which you probably have never heard of) can turn your mailbox into a box of surprises - and who wouldn't like that?”

First attempt using the Windows Live Writer

12.11.09

I’ve updated my Windows Live and together with the Windows Live package, there is this Windows Live Writer (WLW) ; developed by the Microsoft which supposed to be useful for bloggers to update their blog. I don’t really know how it’ll help, so I’m giving it a try. Lets see if it’s useful or not. Or maybe i might be late that everyone else have been using it? Cause i know I’m always late in the online stuffs. Haha but, nvm there’s always the first for anything :P

the screenshot

WLW supports most of blogging site including Windows Live Spaces, SharePoint blogs, Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad, Wordpress etc.

So, this is my first post using the WLW. =)

Ok. I like the photo uploader  and editor. It has a lot of function (tilt, rotate, border, crop & more effects) and it’s seriously easy to use. You can easily add the watermark on the photos too.

View Full Album

Ok. This photo album thing is even coooolllleerr! Haha~

The preview thing is not bad either. better than the preview provided by Blogger one.

Oh and if u have more than one blog, like me hehe you can add all in the WLW editor and can simply choose which of it that u want to publish a post. Nice isn't it?

Most of us use different theme/template for our blog(s). The WLW can easily be used even for different blogs because you can update each of it with your local blog theme/template through WLW respectively.

Labelling is also easy to be done. Just choose in each categories your post is categorized, auto-updated with the labels in your blog as well.

Retrieving older post for editing also is super easy.

Hurm..What else can i do with this?

I’ll check and play with it more later. :D

I’m starting to like it. haha Didn’t i just said i like the new Blogger updated editor? I like this WLW more!





p/s: I can breath again... =)
