2008 Malaysian Cabinet of Curiousities

Wow ... an entire new line up of mostly new people that forms the new Malaysian Government. Almost a 50% change from the old and familiar faces. This reminds me of the book i read by Douglas Preston - The Cabinet of Curiousities, where each new drawer pulls out a different item that's stored in this amazing Cabinet.

I am hoping for the best, and that this new line up of new Cabinet Ministers will pave the nation ahead for a new and exciting start. I hope for justice and truth to triumph in our nation, and let's pray and watch how each new minister will fulfill their post and responsibilities and bring our developing Malaysia to a better and higher status.

Why do women change after marriage?

First of all i must say that i was rather surprised when Sue emailed this out. I mean these sorta things normally comes from Sean the king of lame, but anyway, i guess he's infectious and there are many lamers out there.

If you're lame you will enjoy this one.

Why do women change after marriage?


Throughout the ages, men have been trying to unlock the mystery as to why their wives who accepted them as they were before, got their behaviour and life-style changed once their vows were exchanged. Finally, the riddle was solved. A social-scientist arrived at a simple and logical conclusion.


When the bride, accompanied by her father, starts to walk slowly down the long aisle, she sees the altar at the end and hears the choir singing a hymn Walking down the aisle, the conditioning process where the brain absorbs these three stimuli: aisle, altar, hymn, begins. She becomes mesmerized as she continually reinforces these perceptions: aisle, altar, hymn . . . aisle, altar, hymn . . . aisle, altar, hymn . . .


Then finally, as she stops beside the groom, the conditioning process is completed.
She looks up at him lovingly, smiling sweetly and thinks, 'I'll alter him.'

My Church Website is now a BLOG

Wow... Glad Tidings PJ's website is now a BLOG, powered by Wordpress!! How awesome is that? I guess in keeping with the times and to make a website interactive, the church has made its website into a blog format.

For the untrained eye, it will still look very much like a website to you, but to bloggers out there, its a BLOG!!!


I think the coolest thing for us is that we can now comment on the posts, that's posted on the website. That will make it interactive and thus drawing more traffic to the website.

Was trying to remember, if i updated my new home address or was it based on the old one. My previous vote was done in PJ - La Salle school.

Thankfully we can now check ONLINE - http://daftarj.spr.gov.my/ - and with a click of a button, it informs you where you vote, the name of the school and area for voting!! Quite SMART! :)


Lokaliti: 107 / 39 / 08 / 043 - TROPICANA GOLF COUNTRY RESORT
Daerah Mengundi: 107 / 39 / 08 - SEKSYEN 4, 5 & 6 KOTA DAMANSARA
DUN: 107 / 39 - KOTA DAMANSARA
Parlimen: 107 - SUBANG
Negeri: SELANGOR
Pusat Mengundi: SEKOLAH KEBANGSAAN SEKSYEN 6 KOTA DAMANSARA


Now i just need to figure out where in the world is Seksyen 6 Kota Damansara School?
And who are the candidates in Kota Damansara? Sigh .. anyone has any clues?

Just googled, and found this map .... but its not big enuf to see where its really at!! Sigh!

Meanwhile .. our hands won't need to BLACKEN this Saturday when we go and vote. Apparently the Election Committee has opted not to have it anymore. Read more

Can't wait for Indiana Jones - Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Ooooh can't wait for this movie to hit the screens! Have been a fan of Indiana Jones since a kid. Loved the action, fun and thrills of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade was shot ages ago.

I would never imagine them coming back to Indiana Jones and making a fourth movie, and the best part to have Harisson Ford playing a role in it! Awesome! I didnt realize that 19 years has passed since he took on the role as Indy! :)

I just watched the trailer... very exciting. If you wanna watch a lower res... click PLAY on the embeded youtube Trailer below. :)

Found a Shortcut to Activate Bluetooth on the TyTN II

I don't know why its done this way? But Bluetooth is one of the easiest way of sharing files and music with friends and its found on nearly all mobile phones these days.

But it takes me close to 5 to 6 clicks in order to activate it and to make it visible to others! Really really really irritating!!!

You would have thought that the basic functionality of switching on the Bluetooth should be right on the Today screen, so that anyone can just click on it and then have it running, and connecting to your bluetooth headset.

When i installed the Wisbar Advance 3, (will blog more about it another day) i thought i would have found the answer to the Bluetooth functionality. However despite its 1001 applications for launching, setting and communication, it lacked the "switch on Bluetooth!" SIGH!!

It was only today when i was browsing thru some Phone forums when i accidently discovered a new tool called the "Today Radio Device Toggler". Yups it doesnt sound really fance and it doesnt really have that drawing factor. It also has another name - "EFFComm plugin"

Best part its a FREEware plugin that you can download it from the internet (links below). If you look at the Capture Screen below, you will see right at the top of the Today Screen you have THREE functions:

1) Bluetooth OFF/ON

2) Wi-Fi OFF/ON

3) Phone OFF/ON

Its really cool and saves you lots of time from running here and there trying to switch on your Bluetooth button! :) Enjoy it!!

A Nice Big Clock for the Today Screen (TyTN II)

I really like the Big Digital Clock that comes built in with the HTC Today Screen on the TyTNII. But the HTC Today Screen is too BIG. It takes up nearly 1/3 of the Phone Screen with its various built-in apps.

As you can see from the Above screen shot, the Digital Clock is massive (and i like it so much), but its just that the Program Launchers that's built in into the HTC Today screen is just lacking in functionalities and limited in its customization.

Afer playing around with a couple of Laucnhers, i finally stuck with the SPB Pocket Plus 4.02 Launcher. Its totally radical with totally customizable buttons and applications and it has so many other cool tools that you can set it in!

I love the 5 Tabs that it gives you where you can put in all the various applications that you want to launch, you can group them by categories or by any order you want. U can choose your icons to be Large or Small with labels and without!! Its so so so coool! :)

So using SPB Pocket Plus really beats the HTC Today launcher. The only thing that i really miss is the big digital clock in HTC. Yes, I know that there's a tiny clock at the top on the Task Bar. But that's really tiny, i would like to see the time at a glance and .... from a distance! :)

After hunting for many many weeks, i finally stumbled on a FREEware Clock, which its pretty decent, and has a rather large digital clock (you can change it to the analog clock to if you prefer).

Its called the Dr Puttingham Samsung Time plug-in. Don't ask me why Dr Puttingham?

But why the Samsung Time? Cos this clock is taken from the Samsung BlackIce Phone. :)

If you look at the screen shot below, just ignore the blue background, and just imagine it as a plug-in clock for your Today Screen, where you can customize the location of it on your Today Screen. And its working really fine for me!!!

So i am now using the SPB Pocket Plus launcher but with the Samsung Time at the top! :)
