A Trip to Kuantan  

Posted by Ezequiel Leversee

Last weekend, my friends and I had attended the wedding luncheon that was held by my friends, Asmak and Alex Tai, who is now known as Amirul Hakim Tai. So we have to gathered at the Penang Jetty to get board on the ferry to Butterworth before leaving to Kuantan on bus. We were told that bus will be coming by 10pm and then we left.

We took the bus named Utama. I heard this name for the first time. I really didn't know how good this bus was! On the way, I couldn't sleep well as I was sitting on a very first row of seats which I can see the road clearly and the lights from the cars flashing towards me in the opposite direction. The flashing lights were really bothersome which caused I had to wake up a few times.

And also the bus always stop at certain spot many times. D*mn the old driver, always need to pee >_his journey took us 9 hours to reach Kuantan! @_@ My friends said the service provided by this bus was the worst. Hahahaha... I agree too.. =P Anyway at last stop, I saw a beautiful scene - sunrise from the hill.. Ooops, I forgot to take photo as I was too tired to take photo. Somemore, my camera was in my backpack. No energy to take out my camera... X_X

Upon reaching the Kuantan bus terminal, we found the motel named Hotel Regency nearby to take shower and change clothes. We had to pay RM60 per room but we discovered that the motel were so dirty and smelly. Found used condom in that room. -_- You know what I meant? They never clean the room! Anyway we hurriedly took shower and get out of that room!

Then Sammi Teoh came and picked us from there. She dropped us off at Asmak's house since she was not ready yet and she has to pick Jeannie Mah and Lisa Lim from the bus terminal at 1pm again. We were alright with that decision and stayed at Asmak's house chatting and waiting for other friends to arrive. Soon as the ceremony has officially began, many friends arrived. We were glad to meet them and some new friends. =D


But where is the main male character? He was too late! We were almost sweating under a very very hot heat! There he was, finally reached there near 2pm... The situation on that moment was more heated up with the reporter taking part in photographing their whole ceremony. Sure they will be famous afterwards! Hehe Congratulations to them. \^_^/

For me, whose the flight time has changed to Sunday due to the stupid system of Firefly's, I have to stay at Sammi Teoh for a night. Jeannie and Lisa joined as well. So we visited Carrefour - East Coast Mall with other friends until other friends leaving to Penang at night later. After sending other friends off to the bus terminal, we had our "Father's Day" dinner at Sushi King restaurant. -_- since I was only the guy but the youngest among us, so I was considered like a father to them for a day!

Hahaha, the next morning, we went to Teluk Cempedak and took a walk for a few minutes. We managed to take some photos at there, then left to hunt for our breakfast. Since we prefer eating noodle type, Sammi brought us to a coffee shop and we ate Wantan Mee! After that, we are back to Sammi's house and packed our stuff to go home.

Before sending us to home, Sammi brought us to visit her school. It is a small school. Not like our Penang FSD, it is very systematic which the pupils know what to do. Very much better than the pupils in Penang FSD who are naughty! We talked to a teacher and learnt that the teachers are very friendly. They act like friend to the pupils.

Ok, we reached the Sultan Ahmad Shah. We chatted and took some photo of ourselves. Suddenly a crazy guy approached us and we ignored him. =_= Luckily he didn't bother us so much. Ahh, it was my time to say farewell to them and Kuantan before leaving on Firefly.. Sigh** =P And I was so endlessly tired after the journey. =_=;

OH yeah, here's the photo ablum : Kuantan if you wish to see more of photos!

The Famous Character, Onion Head!  

Posted by Ezequiel Leversee

Whonever doesn't know this famous characters, then she/he is a sore loser! Hey, those characters are really getting famous nowadays. Even on MSN as emoticons... Many people like using those emoticons on MSN.. Impossible as if you still don't know about those emoticons exisiting. There are many different expressions of Onion Head emoticons. You will notice those characters appearing on the conversation screen when you are chatting with friends. For sure...


If not for my god sister, Angel Chin, I won't know that there have an offical website for Onion Head. All thanks to her! Well, it's Onion Club website where you can download emoticons, avatar and wallpapers for Free of Charge (FOC). This website perhaps will be often updated with new emoticon, avatar and wallpaper. I love 'em and I downloaded all. Hehehe... Very cute and adorable! Besides that, there are comic columns available as well. If you feel bored, you also can take part in forum as well but you need to register first. You may share your own opinions related to Onion.

I like those characters. Before noticing this website, I thought this character designs are non-human and I couldn't think what it resembles like... Now i know it's Onion Head. Hehe.. To me, it don't resemble Onion so much except for its color, white with brown. =P The male main character's name is Abo while the female one is Meiya, a close friend to Abo. I doubt she may be more than a close friend, perhaps she has a crush on Abo. Hehe. Ah, there is also a new character named Greaser who is an arch-enemy to Abo. But it's not much known about this new character.


If you are bored with Onion Head and wanna try on other character, I recommend you may seek for Yoyo & Cici (Monkeys), Plush (Heyhey Pig) or Pacoo. Where's the wesbite url? Here's the Cute Factor. Similiar to Onion Club website, their website also consists of emoticons and wallpapers.


Have fun yeah! And if you like this post, please do subscribe to my RSS feed and you will be updated with any new post in future. Thanks a lot!

Japanese Emoticons  

Posted by Ezequiel Leversee

Do you want to put typo emoticon in your post? I noticed many people always apply those emoticons in their posts such like :D, =D, and etc. But do you know Japanese styled emoticons? Well, let me explain. Their function is same only. The difference between the Japanese emoticons and the normal Internet smileys is that the Japanese ones are read vertically and the normal ones are read horizontally. The Japanese ones are usually used with the parenthesis but it depends on how you like more, with or without them. Here are some emoticons, just learn them and use in your own blog, sites like Friendster or Facebook or boards like forum that you visit.









For your information, the symbols shown in the picture chart perhaps are not availble with certain font. Anyway, you can try to play with font in your own blog or sites. =P And HAVE FUN yeah!!!

Apple Safari  

Posted by Ezequiel Leversee

In our own world, a safari is an overland journey, which usually refers to a trip by tourists to Africa, traditionally for a big hunting game and in more modern times to watch and/or take photography of big game and other wildlife as a safari holiday.
But, that's not what I talked about. In a cyber world, Safari refers to a web browser that is developed by Apple Inc. and included the style of Mac OS X. It is known as the fastest, easiest-to-use web browser in the world. Since it's first released in 2003, the percent of usage sharing on Safari has been climbing up again and again.

Like to other existing browser such as FireFox, Internet Explorer, and etc, Safari do provides common feature to its browser. However, some of these features are classified as the typical ones while it also adds some uniqueness to the browser.
• A tabbed browsing interface that allows dragging tabs to reorder them by moving them between windows or creating new windows.
• A bookmark management scheme reminiscent of the iTunes jukebox software
• A resizeable web-search box in the toolbar, using Google or Yahoo!
• History and bookmark search including search of content in history pages
• Pop-up ad blocking
• History and bookmark search including search of content in history pages
• As-you-type text search
• Spell-checking for all text entry fields
• Expandable text entry boxes, which can be resized by the user to make entering long text easier
• Automatic filling in of web forms
• Built-in password management via Keychain
• Functionality for subscribing to and reading web feeds
 • Quartz-style font-smoothing, even on Windows
 • Integration of Apple's Quicktime multimedia technology
 • Support for user-specified style sheets

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My colleague, Farid said Safari is the best and fastest browser, so I tried installing Safari on my computer. And Safari really give a pretty good performance. From what I see on Safari, it is really fast and more secured with a pop-up blocker. Plus a simple interface. Many features are really great included tabbed browsing, autofill and bookmark management. However, I noticed it lacks advanced security and customization setting which there is no way to customize default search engine.

Still I prefer using FireFox over Safari. =P Now my computer has three kinds of web browser. FireFox, Internet Explorer and Safari. Am I crazy? Hehe but I usually use FireFox mostly. But I think that having many browsers also turned out to my advantage which allows me to log in Facebook, or Friendster with different account. Hehe

I found this interesting fact from ConsumerSearch.com. So I wanna list this fact in my blog so that all of you know what's what about them.

Best all-purpose browser. Reviews indicate that the Firefox web browser is an ideal combination of performance and security, suitable for nearly anyone from pleasure shopper to power user. Critics praise its usability, lean size, lack of ActiveX security holes and convenient features, including tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, an RSS reader, download manager, password manager, automatic updates, customized searching and a tweakable interface (themes). A vast number of extensions -- which add functions like better eBay searches and form filling -- are also available. Firefox runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms. The next generation Firefox browser is nearing the end of its beta testing, with a final version due out this summer.




Most secure browser. Though reviewers generally prefer other Windows browsers, all agree that the current version of Internet Explorer is vastly more secure than its predecessors and a leader in that regard. Features include security management (including ActiveX opt-out), a URL parser to block malware and advanced anti-phishing technology. Internet Explorer is also the first and only browser to be billed as EV-ready, a high-level designation regarding the browser's ability to protect against phishing attacks, though the next generation of other browsers are also expected to have that capability.




Fastest browser. Reviews and tests are unanimous: Opera is the fastest, leanest and most efficient browser available. Despite its small following, Opera has most of the features of Firefox, plus a few more. It uses fewer resources and is nearly endlessly customizable. The latest version includes widgets, or small web applications that sit on users' desktops, and support for BitTorrent, a popular file distribution technology. Opera can run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and other operating systems. Security is not as robust as in Firefox or Internet Explorer, which keeps Opera from claiming "best browser" status. Previously, full versions of Opera required a licensing fee, but the browser is now completely free.




Best web browser for Macs. Camino offers all the functionality and features of other Mac browser options, with none of the bloat and resource hogging. Slim file size, seamless integration with Mac services, speedy page rendering and great customization options top critics' praises. Unlike many Mac applications, Camino also integrates features usually only found on Windows machines, such as cursor-over tooltips (especially handy when navigating between multiple tabs). The attractive and intuitive user interface is pure Mac and the speed can't be beat, with tests pulling up pages significantly faster than top competitors Firefox and Safari.


So, what is your preference on web browser usage? And what's your opinion? Hehe..

It is the Miniature Schnauzer, a breed of a small of the Schnauzer type. It is given the name, Scotii. Before this, my sister asked me to suggest a few of name. When I saw this pup, this name was first popped out in my mind, Toto which my sister rejected. I will miss this name, Toto...Haha...So that's why my sister ended up naming this pup, Scotii. Oh did i mention about its gender? It's male!

Its body is coated with the color of salt and pepper, which makes it look adorable plus its uncropped ears and docked tail. Its fur is very soft and neat, I always stroke its body fur. It's very comfortable.. Hehe..

Anyway, Scotii attach to my sister, it would dock her to anywhere in house. Scotii is very loyal to its master. But to me, it always bite me T_T... My parents and brother always try to get closer to it but can't win its heart. Hehe... Nevermind, it's only 3 months old. Perhaps it's not getting familiar with us yet. It only came to our house last week.

Anyway hopefully, it can be source of happiness in my family. Welcome to my family, Scotti.. (Only if Scotii knows how to online.. Hehe)

Big Buck Bunny  

Posted by Ezequiel Leversee

Today my colleague send this video to me, saying this video is very interesting and entertaining. So I watched this video. Oh wow... It's Big Buck Bunny, a short comedy story, is about a well-tempered big rabbit, "Big Buck" launching a war against the forest bullies: three naughty small rodents as Big Buck finds his day spoiled and jeopardized by the rude actions of three naughty small rodents. I feel pain in my tummy when I was watching this silly war. Hehehe..


Wow, this story is presented with a great 3D animation. In my opinion, this 3D can be compared to Pixar. Definitely in an equally level. When I first watched this video, I was shocked until my jaws almost dropped.. Hehe..I think it's in par with a lot of current computer animated films being produced by Hollywood. It is really so professionally done in 3D animation.

I heard that it is said that BBB is not only developed by an animator community using open source software Blender but also distributed under an open license that gives artists free access to the entire studio database of assets and files used to make the movie.

-Quoted from Ton Roosendaal, a producer Blender Institute director-

The Primary intent of the movie was to stimulate the development of open source 3D software, but the quality of BBB on an artistic level as well as on technical ingenuity is what you would expect from large animation studios.

See this video below:



If you are interested, you might purchase the DVD set at Blender Store for $52. By purchasing the DVD, you will help supporting the continued development of Blender and other future films.

Oh ya, if you wish to know the current news, you can follow its current news at Big Buck Bunny.

Final Fantasy XIII  

Posted by Ezequiel Leversee

Final Fantasy XIII is an upcoming installment in the Final Fantasy series and oh yeah, it is the first of the series to be released on PlayStation 3.

-Quated from Final Fantasy Wikia-

Along with Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Agito XIII for the mobile phone and Final Fantasy Versus XIII, an action game for Playstation 3 made by the Kingdom Hearts team, make up three facets of the overall project known as Fabula Nove Crystallis: Final Fantasy XIII.

According to Square Enix, Final Fantasy XIII is neither a prequel or a sequel to Final Fantasy Agito XIII or Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Square Enix has explained that although all three games take place in same universe, they are not directly related.

STORY

Final Fantasy XIII focus on "those who resist the world"

Cocoon is an air city which has been created by the Crystals in order to be protected by machines. Being in peace for many years, the inhabitants of Cocoon are very fearful and are afraid of everything from outside of Cocoon and above all what comes from the dark region. Also the operational "strange" organization" are feared by the denizens of Cocoon.

Recent contact with those from the world below, called Pulse have caused people to question one another and their ways of life. Due to this disturbance, the government of Cocoon have decided to exile those who show signs of coming in contact with the world of Pulse.

One Crystal looked for itself a woman, who should destroy this world and its inhabibants. One believes that this woman will lead the world to its downfall. Her name is Lightning, you must remember her name! Hehehe


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whoa! It will be going to be the huge projects, not only with one entry but several titles instead! Final Fantasy Agito XIII... Final Fantasy Versus XIII... and a rumored Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII... @_@ According to the trustworthy source, Final Fantasy XIII will bring into a new development on the level of civilization unlike the previous Final Fantasy. As the PS3 is a new hardware, it is quite a challenge for the designers as they have to make the environment and characters' appearances will look far more redefined in this game!

Hmm, I don't know so far much about the current development, why not we wait and see what it would look like. This game is believed to be released in the end of this year or next year. =( I dont have enough money to buy PS3 and my elder bro asked me to sponsor him to buy PS3... He thinks I'm rich T_T

Rapidshare  

Posted by Ezequiel Leversee

Fail to send such heavy files like videos or a complete set of photos via emails or messenger? But you wish and need to share something with family, relatives, friends or business partners who are in long distance... Here's a suitable site for you..It's RapidShare! Have you heard about it or used it before?


With RapidShare, you can upload several files up to the maximum of 100 Megabytes and of course it is easy and secure! You can upload any kind of file format... A compressed folder with a set of photos... Videos... Ooh if the video is too big, you can split this video into a few part. I recommend you to use this application, HJSplit to split the video.

HOW TO OPERATE IN RAPIDSHARE

RapidShare allows any user to upload files of up to 100 MB, then would be supplied with an unique download URL which enables anyone with whom the uploader shares it to download the file. Searching the server for content is not available. So the URL is needed if anyone wants to download.

RapidShare states that they have 240 gigabytes of Internet connectivity and 4.5 petabytes of storage for users. O_O Really a big storage! Guess they have earned a lot from premium users and that's why they have a large server... Hehehe..

For non-paying users are required to wait, depends on how much megabytes of file you were previously download before the next download becomes available and CAPTCHA validation is required. CAPTCHA is displayed as up to warped alphanumeric characters, each with a dog or a cat overlapped them, so the user has to type in the 4 letters with the cat on them.

If you don't wish to wait, you may register and pay for premium account that would provide you some good benefits such as download of several files simultaneously, queue-skipping and the facility to interrupt and re-start downloads. Every premium account is limited to a maximum of 25,000 megabytes within a five day period, as way to prevent account sharing especially using "RapidLeech" sites.

Besides that, RapidShare also activates a "Happy Hour" which consists no CAPTCHA codes and no waiting time if the servers have enough bandwidth to spare. The "Happy Hour" are not often available for whole day but only available at certain time.

By 3rd June 2008, RapidShare have launched a newly designed website with a better layout plus a new logo and favicon as RapidShare has promised to update its site to 'Improve the site and usability'. RapidShare also has doubled the download volume for premium users that they can now download 50 gigabytes within 5 days instead of 25 gigabytes!

I never upload files to RapidShare before but I sometimes download files from this RapidShare. Hmm, it is a good site indeed and much useful for people who wants to share some files with people in far distance there.. Hey guys, why not trying this site? I think it's really a worth of trying this!
