OK... Quenacho is the one I want ...

O lah... after few days of searching, I know which to buy liao.

Quena, is in G tune, which has higher pitch
Quenacho, is the one tuned in D, which has deeper sound. This is a longer Quena, also is more expensive.

I will go for the Quenacho, but since it can only buy thru online, and not sure how long it take to deliver to my place, I think I will have to wait a bit, until my training trip is confirm.

So, just wait and see how lah
Maybe that time, I may have other so call 'interesting thing' come into my mind liao :p

how about get myself a flute ??

Die... suddenly my mind is telling me to choose 1 kind of music instrument to learn up. Was first check on the flute, and at last i'm attracted to the Quena - a traditional flute of the Andes, South America

Why Quena? Not too sure, but just feeling it's nice, I like the feel of it, sound very .. err.... 比较低沉, 粗犷, 沧桑, 它让我联想起很广的草原空地, 连着天空那种感觉; 就是很贴近大自然, 和很广阔的感觉

Actually it's quite difficult for me to illustrate it, as myself actually not good in English/Mandarin, and most important, not good in MUSIC!! I know nothing about music, it's just as simple as I like it or not when first heard of it.

Then I realize that I had a chance to see a group of South America street performer during my visit to Amsterdam, I posted in my FB. South America Indiana street performer

This could be another ’3 minutes enthusiasm' for me, let me see if this still in my mind after few weeks / months, then I will take more active action lah :p

Quick check on internet, it cost about RM 200, included the shipping fee.

Learning photographic

try to learn some simple photographic skills, first is with the little little cute memento i received/bought

I only use the Panasonic digital camera lah, not those canggih DLSR (or DSLR ?, i never able to call this thing ...)
effect is bad, it's quite blur images
only uploaded 2, there are few more, but all blur blur one :-(




MD & PA: photocopy, how ah?

MD = Managing Director
PA = Personal Assistant

Scene: Photocopy area (which is very near to my place)

PA is passing by ....

MD: "eh, eh, how do I make a photocopy? Like this ah?"
PA: "hmm, press this, then this"
MD: "OK"

Things come into my mind...
How much is the salary for the MD?
How much is the salary for the PA?

PA know anything in the office much better than MD
PA get 10 % (or 20%) of what MD getting?

Lesson learnt:
Salary benchmark 'rules'
- It is NOT about how much things you know
- It is about how much is the value (or put it simple, the $$) you can bring to the company

Simple & well known rules?
But some PA might feel it's very 'hurt' to them leh ...
maybe they will whisper in their mind: how come stupid like this can be the boss 无天理.....

wireless connection koyak ??!!

Found that the wireless connection is working perfectly if my laptop is located very near to the router, where near means --> the living area instead of my room. So now I am thinking maybe due to the 'aged' router, it's 'broadcast' power is getting lousy??

It's still work now, let me move my laptop back to my room, and change my place from the corner near to window to somewhere near to the door --> just try to reduce the blocking by the wall, hope it works ...

sigh ~~ confirm cannot connect from my desk in the room already.
the connection getting weak as oppose the distance from the router

not yet try to reset router and firmware updates, but since this router is quite old, also the wireless is only not reachable if it is 'far' from it, these make me think maybe it's really time to get a new one.

will still try to survive it till the next month or so, bcoz i just spend my money to get that LCD screen neh


我哭 我哭 我哭哭哭
/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

真想找个人来掐死她( or 他) !!

wait wait wait, i found something interesting.
the wireless connection is gone when i close the laptop lid
need more Google ... (with the lid open :p)

wahahahha ~~~
finally the connection problem resolved already,
看来, 我还是很不错滴 :D (i means i am good as to keep trying on possible solution lah)

feeling good of solving this finally, also, solved without spend a cent :D

it's now the router koyak already...

Suppose to be very happy today, bcoz finally i get myself the LCD screen.
This was in my wish-list since I am back to MY on last Nov.

So, after everything setup, happily took a photo of it ;)



But just after a while, there is something wrong with my wireless connection!!!
The WLAN light is not blinking even after I re-start the router, think maybe it's time to change already .... it's now aged 4 or 5, not too sure, but the modem I bought together with this router had just been replace few months ago, so maybe this fellow is missing his old buddy, want to go accompany him in the rubbish bin !!

gek sum lah !!
my mood totally spoiled ...

Wordpress -> Blogspot

A friend asked me how to migrate her posts in Wordpress.com to Blogspot.com

This is interesting to me, so I ask for her permission to access for both blog website login, and start the conversion.

First step, of course Google to see what's the options out there lah.

And in just few hours, both her website in Wordpress.com had migrated to the Blogspot.com
The tool itself is very useful, magic is done 70% by it.

If you interested to know more, here are some more technical tips:
1. After export the posts from Wordpress.com, try to open it with a browser before convert it using the http://wordpress2blogger.appspot.com/
-> the exported XML might need some touch up, the problem I faced are mainly due to the '&' sign was not properly converted into the '&' HTML code, this will failed the conversion.
-> then there are some problem with the missing close tag as well

2. Always try to put your photo for any blog post in a free hosting site, she has a lot of photos that were keep in the private domain, this would take big effort to migrate those images to Picasa Web let's say. She would need to map properly what's the old & new image URL, and edit the related posts accordingly. Not a difficult job, but it's really very tedious work if u have a lot of old posts with a lot of images.

3. The comments within the post are migrated with some 'issue'. For e.g. a person that has comments on the post, with it's details of the email, is not migrated properly. The comments shows in Blogspot.com only contains the name, without the email.

BTW, MSN Live Writter seems like can post the post to different blog site as well. Since it has restriction to run this MSN Live Writer (my friend is using Mac, rich lady huh :p), also I am not a big fan of MSN itself, so I didn't have any real experience can share with you. You may try to play around with it, as the option I describe above might need a little bit more technical background

I do have fun when exploring on this, it is good to see things happen, especially things that is not related to work :D

Of coz I left the details of migrating the photos back to my friend lah, it is > 200 photos to do so leh. Would be days of work man.

Guess she will get mad with the process of
- get files from the private domain,
- upload to free image hosting domain,
- find the blog, then update the image's URL :p


what to do next ??

think/plan for what to do tomorrow is a very difficult task for me

i need a clear target/mission to achieve so that i can learn things in much efficient way
pure reading would make me sleepy very easily

without clear target, then would be challenging to know am i ready enough for the coming real job training around May

i'm feeling a bit stress due to this already, so i am now
sometimes happy that i'm so free;
sometimes worry if not ready enough

life is so troublesome ....
