Hello …
People ask me why I changed to Wataniya …
They say only fishermen and Bangladeshis use Wataniya …
I say … I don’t care … Its better and cheaper for me …
With Wataniya … I can stay on budget with ease …
And I don’t have to fill up a form every time I talk to them …
Also my ISP is not Dhiraagu … I use a Focus connection …
You know those coffee table wars on which ISP is better …
I have a heard good and bad things about both ISPs …
I’ve a Focus connection at home and I’m ok with it …
It might not be best or fastest … but it gets the job done …
These days … all I hear about Dhiraagu is that …
How cool and how fast their new 10mbps connection is …
I’ve tested it and it seems very fast … thats good …
But I don’t understand this ad I found on Haveeru Online …
They say Home Premier costs MRF 690/- and you get 20GB …
They also say Home Premier is MRF 2100/- and you get 30GB …
This doesn’t make any sense to me … how about you ???
Why would anyone have 2 packages with the same name …
Also … who in their right mind would go for MRF 2100/- package …
When you can get 3 MRF 690/- packages for MRF 2100/- …
And get 60GB free … you get my drift … ???
Dhiraagu 10mbps connection may be all the rage …
But I think I’ll stay with my unlimited Focus connection for now …
Also … I do use a Dhiraagu unlimited connection at office …
Its not that fast … but its pretty decent for the price …
What do you guys think …???

Exiled Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen …
Is returning to the British colony …
To meet with alliance leaders to plan an insurrection …
Against the Qing imperial government …
Qing send out officials to assassinate Sun Yat-sen …
But activist gather bodyguards to protect Yat-sen …

Character development was good for the twists to come later …
The choreography was really good … I mean seriously good …
The sets were impressive to say the least …
Did a very good job of recreating Hong Kong in the 1900s …
It a political thriller rather than a martial arts mash up …
But gets bloody and vicious when it needs to be …
Its a good dramatic film and invokes good emotions …
Overall … an awesome movie … highly recommended …
No wonder it won a few awards and got nominated for so many …
In the latest Asian Film Awards …

Hello …
Well … I’m back … you thought you lost me eh ??? Hehe …
I know its been a long time since I blogged …
I’ve neglected this blog for long … it needs a fresh start …
What can I say … Its not like I’ve been busy or anything …
It just blogging has not been a priority for me …
I just didn’t feel like writing … it takes an effort …
I just didn’t feel the need to share … but there was twitter …
But now I’m back … I feel guilty for procrastinating …
Yet I feel inspired again … or thats what I think …
This time … like every other time I’ve said this before …
I’m going to blog again … and in a regular fashion …
Thats about it for now …

Hello …
I’ve this tendency to save my docs/PDFs online …
I do this coz I wanna have access where ever I may be …
You never know when you might need a copy of your ID card …
Or a copy of your passport for that matter … hehe …
I used to save my stuff in Yahoo! Briefcase since 2000 …
But some how … I missed their (multiple) announcements …
And around mid this year … I lost all my stuff with them …
That was a major bummer … but luckily I had backups …
I had copies of everything important … that was a life saver …
Since then … I’ve been looking around for a new service …
I settle on not one but two services … you know just in case …
One is Upload Robots … a fairly new service on the market …
They offer 4GB of storage free … more if you go pro …
I like their site … really like the user interface …
I also mirrored everything to my apple dot mac account …
A paid service … expensive … but easy to use with my OS …
They rebranded the service recently… its now known as dot me …
Guess with my stuff on two separate services …
The possibility of loosing it will be kept minimum … hehe …
What service(s) do you guys use to save/store your stuff ???
Lemme know …

As you may have heard … Snow Leopard is here …
Every other blog I read has something to say about it …
Most of the reviews say Snow leopard is generally good …
Everyone agrees that its a quick, easy and a cheap upgrade …
Naturally … I’m thinking whether I should upgrade …
So I ran a quick check to see if my MBP will fully support it …
And yes … my hardware will support Snow leopard … somewhat …
The problem is … I have a MacBook Pro from late 2006 …
It has an ATI RadeonX1600 Graphics card … not Nvidia …
Meaning I can’t get openCL or quicktime hardware acceleration …
Also … ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi …
Returns a “firmware-abi” = <”EFI32″> … not “EFI64″ …
Which means I cant boot into full 64bit mode … bummer !!!
Apart from these … my MBP will run Snow Leopard just fine …
So you can understand why I’m not all excited here …
Anyways … what do you guys think … should I upgrade ???

Hello …
Have you guys heard about www.iulaan.mv … ???
Its a good local site with lotsa ads and announcements …
I was browsing the site today when I found this ad …
Apparently … a resort is looking for a dive instructor …
With a an instructor certificate … thats OK … right …???
So far so good … but what blew me away was that …
The ad says the dive instructor should speak 9 languages …
Yes … 9 languages … lets list them shall we …
English … French … Spanish … Japanese … Italian …
German … Russian … Chinese … and Korean …
I dunno about you … but I’ve never even heard of a diver …
Who can speak like 9 languages … I dunno that guy …
And I’m pretty sure you won’t either … cos its just not real …
And the fact they are looking for 8 such divers … awesome…!!!
They are just putting up ads … just for the sake of it …
How else can you explain this sorta stuff …??? Hehe …
Happy Ramadan to all of you …

Hello …
Few days back … on recommendation from some of my friends …
I downloaded and watched a documentary called ‘Home’ …
And I tell you … it was awesome … it totally blew my mind …
Home by Yann Arthus-Bertrand is a beautifully shot panorama …
Planet Earth and the damage done to it by modern humanity …
The film has breathtaking aerial footage from 54 countries …
Showing the pure beauty of our planet with amazing facts …
Glenn Close narrates the journey with very good original music …
We are shown the history of Earth how everything came about …
And how everything is interconnected and balance maintained …
It shows us how we … as the dominant species on this planet …
Has been brutally drilling in to our natural resources …
Without a thought about sustainability or future consequences …
It shows how far the ripples of our industrial decisions go …
It also shows us … towards the end of the film …
That there are cities … regions and nations … that have …
Made some forward thinking investments in to the future …
And how … we too can be responsible towards our only home …
I highly recommend this film to anyone and everyone …
Who has ever had a thought about our planet … our earth …
Watch this documentary … and be blown away …

Hello …
I was in KL a few days back …
I had the chance to watch Transformers 2 on big screen …
I was all excited waiting in line for an hour to get tickets …
But it seems my excitement was short lived …
The moment the movie began … after 20 mins of ads …
It went downhill from that point onwards …
Let me tell you …I really liked the first Transformers movie …
But this Revenge of the Fallen could not have sucked more …
The story with Sam brain sync’d with an alien map …
Too many robots and machines introduced in too little time …
Stuff blowing up for no apparent reason as if it just had to …
About 30 mins into the movie … I was confused …
I didn’t know which was which … or who was fighting who …
Who was good and who was evil … just metal against metal …
Megan Fox was there … she was hot … enough said …
Sam saves the day with the sand in his socks … awesome !!!
The whole movie was like one big explosion …
They say they could stay hidden in plain sight …
They should have stayed that way …
Gonna have to watch this movie a few times to make sense …
If you like Michael Bay and his bad ass movies …
You’ll love this … if not … welcome to the club …
Food for thought … all the cars in the movie was from GM …
And GM went bankrupt long before this movie came out …
Yes … I know I’m gonna get flamed by the fanboys …
