Over the times, I am getting more drained of my energy and of late, running errands here and there, in and out of Singapore for the paper trail which is not just tiring, but freaking HOT. I have forgotten how scalding on my skin the hot weather in Singapore is..and well, really quickly built a sun tan within just 8 hours of there.
Some things are still the same.. Food are the same albeit the prices being up by a dollar or so, but still affordable if I eat in the local hawker center compared to the food courts which are air conditioned.
Other than that, the rudeness of the Chinese Chinamen who think they are better than a Singaporean are much I can’t withstand and yeah.. they are really getting on every one’s nerves.
This year, there are no freebies. No mention in the budget of any giveaways.. so what does it mean? No $250 give outs and as a company , you can ask for cash grants. I think but I got to carefully study the aspects of things.
Seriously, the heat is getting to me that I suffered with a deep abscess oozing out puss from my right calf and that affected my sore mouth. The pain in the molar area is excruciating and errgh! 7 days of unable to eat and drink.
Anyway… plan carefully as petrol prices is about to hike.
Why I have to bear the fact that there is sort of a firewall in CELCOM that is slowing the traffic down or is there an unexplainable issue after the porn star scandal that is bugging them down? Seriously.. this is bad..seriously bad. 3.02MB downloaded in 1hour 40 mins? Come off it…Facebook is super slow and among other stuff like Zynga and sort.
Someone get a move on… even 28.8k dialup is far faster than this crappy service or shall I utilise GPRS? That is really poor service for Celcom now….
Celcom is really at it again…or someone in Celcom is…. with the clip following:
I will follow you..follow you where ever you may go….. it reminds me of the Simpsons and something lewd from South Park where it’s really funny..but made by some one who hates Digi. Anyway..the rates sucks anyway in Digi….
Yeah.. I am a bad person in backing things up and in the times of RAID-10 et al, I still behave in the ancient ways, and resulting in bad mirrors of my files. That is not all, I also do have a tendency of NOT BACKING MY SQL and THEME UP..and so…what do I get? somewhat full of rubbish.
That is just happened or is still happening to my Zyraz Master servers. I was synchronising stuff and data from Hostgator to PRONETHosting which seriously needs alot of data updates and stuff like that. The problem is that the critical data are NOT MIRRORED..and errgh! I am faced with issues again.
You see, there are many things to do, like 15 Wordpress blogs to reset and sync, 2 CRM systems, Support Ticket systems, AWBS for domain and hosting which are big huge files for your information, plus many data to upload. With the CELCOM giving me slow upload speeds, I am really heavy on the load and no way I am able to do all these pronto.
Having said that, I am trying to contemplate if the Microsoft Azure Platform is the better alternative for me as the way I see it, having a dedicated 1.6Ghz CPU with unlimited RAM resources (1.75GB I think) is quite a task despite the small bandwidth (10GB standard) and 7GB duplex data transfer for US and 2.5GB for Asia Pacific. In all, it cost $150 per TB delivered for US ($100/TB in) and $450 / TB outbound for Asia Pacific (well, $150/TB if it’s INBOUND only)…but way it works now is that if you do web hosting 12% in, 70% out and rest is in between, depending on your regional targeting, and if you use the High End Core which is a 8-Core (similar to 2 Xeon Quad Core CPU) with 14GB RAM and 2048GB of Storage Instance but then, I need to define how and what to do as compared to a full proper instance in my Windows Server 2008 running T4200 Core-2 2.0Ghz laptop..which is sluggish even with 4GB RAM because mainly due to the hard disk.
Even then, I have to migrate the VHD or Virtual Hard Drives up to the servers to run them… errgh! The pain.
Sorry guys that I can’t get my butt down to Singapore but here is the thing, I am dead broke..and it’s over 400km away. Yes, my dad is in Changi General hospital Singapore for a suspected stroke. It’s the second impact that happened to him, which the last was about 4-5 years ago, leaving him quite weak and without sensory nerves on one side of the face, loss of motor skills and more.
I wish I can go..but I am broke. money is super tight….and if I get back to Singapore… I may land myself in the same ward..as I am not that good of a condition myself.
Sorry guys. Unless God give me few thousand dollars to clear out to get down.
Zynga let me to try out the Beta preview of Mafia Wars Bangkok in Facebook platform and of which the gameplay is similar, other than that alot of the jobs require you to PAY BAHT (not Bhat U silly coders) to do some stuff.
But of which, I really need to point to them that the value of THAI BAHT is so small, and you expect to bribe a Thai Prison warden with B$500 to smuggle something? Come on, a liter of PETROL (GASOLINE) cost about right now B$40 (which 1 Baht / Koks as the southern locals have it is worth RM1 = US$0.25!) per liter and so, what on earth are they doing? Don’t they do some sort of research in the currency?? How much things are worth? 500 bath can’t even fill my gas tank up…let alone pay a bribe. Heck, my insurance premium to enter Thailand is 290B a day!
Graphics wise, sucks. They really wanna us to think that the Thais are all such a much of a gangster world with rival factions of Yakuza and Triads? THAT IS CHINA FOR HEAVEN SAKE. Here they fight between the Muslim South and the Buddhist North! Thais are of peace..and I believe they really need to get their heads in. If they are talking about Vietnam or Laos, I MAY BELIEVE, but yakuza? Please.. they have nothing to do in Thailand.
Please, the graphics depicting the people and acts need better artwork. Look and read the news and papers and what people photograph on the web. Thais are more Malay like, tanned and dark, not yellow like they have Jaundice or something.
