This site has been moved over to a new hoster. Frustrating thing happened – last week, it was time to renew and I questioned my previous hoster (Malaysiahoster.com) if they will upgrade me to their latest package – since it was going for MYR98/12GB while my upgrade package was MYR99/3.5GB.

They upgraded, but checked my content – and then sent a rude mail telling me to delete all my video files. Those are all my own produced video files that you might have seen in my album section. I argued that those are all legal stuff, but they wouldn’t listen siting their policy. Seems like they are a bunch of kiasi fellas after some black sheep put some copyrighted stuff.

Anyway – now the server that runs this is back in Malaysia. So I don’t know if it would be slower if you accessed from overseas.

Hey all! I’ve just managed up process and upload the last three months photos. It takes so much time to do the processing and I’ve decided to use the ‘FotoPlayer v3.0′ to present the photos now. Had to tweak it a bit – reason for the long processing and choosing time. Oh … I need to write a better script to do this!

Anyway … enjoy the photos – go to the Album! 

Yahoo! I took the driving test (only needed theory) and passed last week, and finally got the China driving license this week. OK … you may say what’s the big deal with just a license? Well … considering that you need to pass a score of 90/100 and they ask you questions like:

When encountering a bullock-pulled cart on the road, that is blocking:

A. Slow down and blow the horn to ask the cart to move away.

B. Don’t blow the horn and wait in line.

C. Blow the horn as little as possible to ask the cart to move away.

Then you might give a little more respect to people passing the China driving exam. BTW, if you guessed (A) for the above then you may fail the test. The right answer is (C).

And just how is driving like in Beijing? Here’s a very accurate illustration:

How to make a turn in Beijing traffic:

• The ‘Chinese Car Dragon’ phenomenon
• The ‘Synchronised Insanity’ phenomenon

Just signed up on another social networking service. I’ve signed up a few before – like linkedIn, mySpace, blogspot and I kinda dropped off them after a while. However, here’s one that I really recommend – Facebook. You can ‘do things’ to your friends and for a person who has trouble keeping in touch with buddies because they are physically distributed in so many parts of the world, this is a great virtual way of keeping relationships alive.

The amazing thing is that because of this, one of my ‘1st degree’ friends knew another friend from my secondary (high) school, which I never knew he knew. This led to me hooking up the this ‘2nd degree’ friend. And guess what? From that, I just received 2 friendship requests from a ‘3rd degree’ that happened to be long lost high school friends whom I’ve lost touch for like too many years!

So if you’re not on Facebook yet, I suggest you try it out! It is finally a social networking service that works and it is fun!

Too bad it seems to be blocked in Caina … again!
