Came back to hometown, ate some home cooked food, read a lot of old National Geographic magazines and slept for so long. One thing about National Geographic magazine is that, you will never get bored of it. There is something new to learn everyday, even though we are reading the past issues. For example, recently I went to Sulaymaniah in Iraq, I did not know much about them before I went there.

My HDD decided to quit on me after 2 years and 9 months of continuous operation. I wish it could have lasted longer. Hopefully I have some spare ones ready for replacement.

There are so many bread shop around nowadays.I used to be a big fan of 'The Loaf', even though it is pricey, some of their bread are really good. Until, one day, when I tried to microwave the bread in the morning. After taking it out of the microwave and put it on a paper plate, after 5 minutes, we can see the paper plate is having plenty of spot where the oil seep through. Yuck, I don't want to

Contrary to what most people think, it is a very tiring thing to travel every now and then. Just one week ago I came back from Iraq, and tomorrow I’ll be leaving to Saudi Arabic (KSA) again for business trip.

This is my first visit to Iraq for the first time in my life, I’m somewhat excited and a bit nervous because there has been not much information about that place, not on the Internet, not on anywhere else. There is just like 6 or 7 airlines which fly to Sulaymaniah and the majors ones are Royal Jordanian and Turkish. Since Royal Jordanian could not meet the dates which I’m travelling, I have to

After working in the same organization for more than 5 years, somehow my expectations has deviated from what I have been looking for when I first started to work. Things that could please me in the past can no longer stir up anything much inside me, maybe a few seconds of excitement sometimes. Probably I just need a short break.

That is one long Transformers movie. I think my bladder is going to burst upon reaching the end of the movie. I wonder what will happen if the planet Cybertron has successfully been merged into Earth? Collision? That means even Cybertron will be destroyed as well. What’s the point of bringing it here then? And I can’t believe so many Decepticons can’t destroy just a handful of Autobots. Gee.

After a long December, finally we have to part with 2010. Hopefully rabbit year will be more generous to all of us. If tomorrow is a public holiday, then today is the last working day of 2010. I don’t really like abrupt public holidays being announced, they should schedule it properly, at least like give us 1 week advance notice, in order for us to plan things properly. Hopefully I did not

No matter how good is someone, or something, there is surely a bad side of him as well, usually it’s hidden nicely until when we are really close with him, then we will find out. But then usually it’s already too late, damage has been done. Turning back would need some sacrifice as well. Example, like a firewall device, usually what we see is that, the firewall is working fine and blocking and

I suspect that the VM created by VMWare Player, no matter the VM is running Windows or Linux, Cisco VPN client will not be able to run inside the VM. The client can get connected successfully, but when we try to send some traffic over, the traffic is not getting through to the tunnel.I'll dig further into this and get back to you guys.UpdateSo it is confirmed, it is not possible to dial out using

It is always good to encounter failures earlier, which turns into valuable experience later. No one can maintain perfect record of success in life without experience. Some might get far with luck, how many lucky person can we get in every moment? One of the most important lesson which I always keep in mind is that, when we are angry, do not act, and when we act, do not be angry. This is because

The cost is still acceptable compare to other country rate, but the time taken is.. way too long. Almost 2 hours and 30 minutes! It is also pricey because I took a private cab.Then during my way back to the airport, the cost is approximately 200k IDR (cheaper!) because

Console games can never be successfully converted into a good movie. Except for Resident Evil, I guess.Just downloaded it though, thought it was showing in the local cinema not so long ago, but I was busy preparing for travel then and did not have to time watch any movie. It's all about fighting and stuff. And there is no plot at all. Good guys and bad guys can be identified already in the start
