2009 in a blogshell

2009 is the year whereby I work for full-time at a telecommunication company for the entire year. I have committed verbally to my manager that I will work for at least a year more if I were to plan to leave the company. 1 year due on October 2010.

Parents are pushing me to advance my study and although I’m lack of determination to do so maybe due to the $ factor. Well, I think that this is actually a good idea. If I do not do so soon, I might end up repeating the same routine everyday for the next 30 years or even more. I should find where to study next!

A photographer is a person who takes a photograph using a camera. A professional photographer uses photography to make a living whilst an amateur photographer does not earn a living and typically takes photographs for pleasure and to record an event, place or person for future enjoyment.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographer

2009 is the year I spent “quite” heavily on camera gears. I like to take photos of scenery, panoramic and all sorts of photos regardless of whether the subject is a hot chick or not. I’m not a cameraman nor a photographer. I dare not claim myself to be a photographer. According to definition, I think I’m fit for the title “Amateur photographer”. I can’t earn my living through clicking… yet. Hopefully I can make my hobby as my career in the near future.

Yes, in case you are curious, I’m still having my faithful Canon 400D. Hack! I have just discovered something new within the camera 2 months ago even after owning this body for almost 2 years! I wanted to upgrade to Canon 5D MKII or the newer Canon 7D but I’m feeling the pain of drawing out thousand dollars of hard earned money just for the freakin’ body! Money is so hard to earn. I only learned this when I started working. I should stop being a gear-collector for a moment and try to compose a better picture first!

The Star - Yearender 2009
The Star - Yearender 2009 (58)

2009 is the year I traveled to Hong Kong and Hanoi. First is with Wendy, second is with my parents. Heck I haven’t actually manage to finish to blog them all. We are going to Taiwan and maybe some other places next year.

2009 is the year I got scammed. Nearly. The last time I remember people snatching my wallet physically should be when I was around 13 years old when I cycled past some kampung mat rempit wanna Malay boys, they picked up speed and simply snatched my wallet away from my back pocket. My weak heart was pumping as fast as possible to supply oxygen to my weakening leg muscles to move the bicycle forward to get them but it could never beat the motorcycle only to see them fade into the distance.

2009 is the year Wendy’s dad passed away. Hope he is at peace now after months of struggle with lung cancer.

There are many cheerful things took place in 2009 as well as some not-so-happy ones. I always wanted a bigger LCD, a better camera body, a better phone and many more L lenses but it’s all just a want rather than a need. Let’s hope 2010 would be a year of change. Change for better.

Happy New Year. 2009 年, 如应用一个字来形容的活,它会是个‘’。期望2010会是个‘’年。新年快乐,万事如意,身体健康!!!

Streamyx and splitter problem and tips

Splitter

If you have experienced problems with your Streamyx before, you must be very familiar with the following lines when you called up the Streamyx helpline (1300 88 9515 / 100).

“Have you bypassed your splitter?”

“Have you disconnected your splitter and connect directly to your modem?”

Splitter splits the frequency band accordingly so that your phone and modem will not cross-over between each other and causing interruptions while in use.

The quality of your DSL (Internet) line can be determined by looking at the modem’s parameters, in particular, SNR margin.

Check your local and remote SNR margin. the higher the better. the ratings below is for local SNR margin.

30 and above = Good, u shouldnt have disconnections problems.

15 – 30 = Maybe a few when peak time, probably your line needs to be changed

15 and below = Very FREQUENT disconnections. You should consult telekom to have your line checked, most cases are because the line are too old and once they are changed they’re fine (the lines on the telephone poles). If you’re using a lightning surge protector. REMOVE it. they are known to weaken the signal by around 50-70% in order to prevent the surge on devices.

Quoted from http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/166678

There’s ample of technical knowledge and assistance that you can obtain from Lowyat forum and I will leave you with that. I’m just sharing one simple yet highly effective trick that will almost instantly boost your line quality and who knows, you might just be able to fix your connection problems!

The trick is DO NOT CONNECT your modem through the splitter. This would reduce the resistance that signals need to overcome before reaching your modem. If you need to connect to your house phone, use a RJ11 double adapter like the one shown below instead.

RJ11 single to double sockets adapter

Connect your modem directly from the adapter, then for your house phone, connect it through the splitter before plugging it into the adapter. It is just that easy.

Hope this short article is handful for you.

Sudden surge of registration between 4-12-2009 to 15-12-2008

JPJStat - sudden surge

No, it’s not because of the economy suddenly turns into super-hyper-active-accelerated-prosper mode. It’s due to the technical glitch at the government department’s web server.
