Inspirational Story: That’s Not My Job

@ndy — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:00:00 +0000

For us to think:

This is a story about four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job.

Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn’t do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody have done.

everybody, somebody, anybody and nobody

SMS of the YEAR

@ndy — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:23:57 +0000

This morning i received 5 missed call from an unknown number. I was on my scooter to work that time, so i could not answer the call.

30 minutes after i reached office. Beeeepp! (sms tone) and I got this from the same number..

I ignored for a while before i replied..

Not long after that another sms coming in, with extra “Spicy” flavour.

Bangang.. Stupid and whatsoever.. (i’m not going to translate, no mood..)

I was sooo madddd.. so i decided to dial the number..

a little kid answered the call.. “Hello”

Me   : Hello.. panggil mak
Kid : Hello siapa ni? Ayah?
Me   : Panggil mak cepat..
Kid : Siapa ni?
Me   : Adik, panggil mak.
Kid : Ni siapa?
Me : Panggil Mak! (with extra high voltage)
Kid : (called her mum.. “ibu! ada orang nak cakap”)

Then a lady pick up the phone..

Lady : Hello!
Me    : Hello akak, kenapa sms macam tu.. saya dah cakap salah nombor, kan?
Lady : Ini bukan 014 ke?
Me    : Bukan… nombor saya 016
Lady : Yeke?
Me    : Iye… 016.. Nombor saya 016
Lady : Nanti kejap saya check..

Hang up.

Few minutes later i called that lady again..

She rejected my call for few times. Huh. Then I SMS..

No reply.

But about half an hour later…

My goodness.. This is too MUCH! You must be kidding me. I said WRONG NUMBERRRRRR!

wrong number, sms, roti canai, tose, husband, wife, sick

Gosh! The Internet!

@ndy — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 07:01:31 +0000

Less Productivity. The internet connection at my work place now is VERY SLOW. Slow. Slow..

Like Gary the Snail

That’s the problem when your day-job depend 100% on the broadband. Nothing much can do now.

slow connection, broadband, streamyx, gary the snail

Again to Melaka

@ndy — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 09:33:12 +0000

Woot! Tomorrow the team and I will be going to Melaka (again) for the recording. Will be leaving Shah Alam roughly around 7am. Do pray for our journey, our food, our instruments, our place to sleep and our vehicle as well.

Everything will be alright, that’s for sure.

recording, studio, melaka, gecko, happy

What Is Platypus?

@ndy — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 01:59:43 +0000

Now I’m reading about Platypus in Wikipedia.

What is Platypus, anyway?

The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. It is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record.

The Skeleton.

The Platypus has been used several times as a mascot: “Syd” the Platypus was one of the three mascots chosen for the Sydney 2000 Olympics along with an echidna and a kookaburra,”Expo Oz” the Platypus was the mascot for Expo ‘88 which was held in Brisbane in 1988, and Hexley the Platypus is the mascot for Apple Computer’s BSD-based Darwin operating system, Mac OS X.

Nothing better to do. But it’s good for your knowledge. Peace.

FireFox 3 Out Now

@ndy — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 04:54:18 +0000

The latest version of Mozilla Firefox web browser, Firefox 3 released today. I’ve tried the beta version of Firefox 3 before in my Ubuntu (Hardy Heron) and what i can say, it’s not good enough. Few plugins/add-ons were not compatible (i dunno why Ubuntu 8.04 set Firefox 3 Beta as their default browser). Also a bit lagging when you open multiple tabs. Yea, i consider all that since it was a beta version. However it has improved! Still rocking lar, i must say. Much Better than IE7.

I’m sure this latest version of Firefox is getting better. Download for free. Hey! Don’t forget to spread the word about the Download Day, a mission to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours!

Woot! I’m going to..

Story to Tell

@ndy — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 07:03:56 +0000

Once upon a time..

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: ‘Hi, how are you?‘

I’m not the type to start a conversation in the men’s restroom but I don’t know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassed, ‘Doin’ just fine!‘

And the other guy says: ‘So what are you up to?‘

What kind of question is that? At that point, I’m thinking this is too bizarre so I say: ‘Uhhh, I’m like you, just traveling!‘

At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question. ‘Can I come over?‘

Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell him, ‘No……..I’m a little busy right now!!!‘

Then I hear the guy say nervously…

‘Listen, I’ll have to call you back. There’s an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!!!‘

Oi, this is not based on my true story lah! It’s taken from my inbox! (i’m telling you, just in case..)

true story, funny, the toilet story

My Zoom B1 Bass Effects

@ndy — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 04:43:39 +0000

Yeay! At last. I bought my bass effects pedal last saturday. After doing few survey between few bass effects and my budgeting, finally i choose Zoom B1 for my RBX270!

Quite reasonable for me, that’s why i choose Zoom B1. The bass effect does not come with power adapter so i need to buy them separately. Altogether the bass effect pedal + the power adapter = RM280.

Zoom B1 Features:

Clear and solid bass sound (96 kHz sampling)
13 different bass amp and stomp box modeling choices
46 dedicated bass effects
Bass synthesizer
40 preset patches reproduce the sound of the pros
User friendly interface
Integrated drum machine with PCM sound sources
Built-in auto-chromatic tuner for bass
Ultra low noise
Optional foot switch allows remote operation

Some review site said that this new B1 brings the speed of Zoom’s powerful ZFX-3 processor for low latency when changing effects. Yeah. I have tried few effects in it and hey, i loved it! The bass pedal makes me sound really good (although i’m not a pro bass player :P). Lot’s of fun and really cheap too! For the price, why not?
