Wendy, Bak Kut teh and Duck King (KL)

28 Apr

No no no, Wendy is not a food. She flies down 300km to KL to pay a visit last weekend. It was kinda a food hunting trip too for us over the weekend. We went to Ah Sang Bak Kut Teh at Sungai Way (SS3). The tu kar chor is very good as claimed by Wendy but I’ve never been a big fan of this dish lah. As this takes a lot of time to prepare (probably), this dish is only served during Saturday and Sunday.

The bak kut teh on the other hand tastes just alright to me. Maybe it’s the lack of pork ball and there wasn’t enough tau kee in it that make me feel not too satisfied. Anyway, it was a good meal and will definitely go there again for another try next time!

Later at night, we went to Duck King (KL branch) for dinner. The ambiance and settings there are very good as it is a high-class Chinese restaurant. It is situated in a office tower I suppose situated very near to the Petronas Twin Towers (same road with Zouk). The foods are really so-so and will not bother to go there again as a matter of fact unless needed to.

Enjoy the photos folks!

PS: I washed my pendrive in the washing machine on Wednesday. I broke my badminton racket on Thursday which I have only used for 2 weeks and that costed me RM219. I sped the way to the airport on Friday so I’m not sure if I’ll be getting speeding ticket or not later on. On Saturday, I stopped illegally under the suspension bridge wanting to turn to Sunway Pyramid area coming from Kelana Jaya direction, and, of course, it cost me dearly too. Definitely a memorable week but of course through the pain, there’s gain. Take care folks!

Try not to speed, break the rule, wash your pen-drive and handle your racket properly too.

New Zealand – March 2010

17 Apr

Nope, it’s not me unfortunately but surely I’ll step on the Kiwi-land on back packing trip in the future.This time, it’s my parents that went to New Zealand on a tour group for 10 days. It costs them more than RM15k per person I think.

I heard of a lot of wonderful stories from them after they came back from the trip. It was a really enjoyable trip experiencing the heaven like scenery and on experiencing how people make their living there at this little country near the south pole. Needless me to comment about how astonishing and beautiful the landscapes there are, just do a bit of Googling and one can see tons of them. I would presume that you at least watched The Lord of the ring, right? The movie is made there.

Well, anyway, I’m in no position to be to deliver their experience here precisely though but it was really an enjoyable trip! Worth it! Photos and videos captured would speak for them.

Auckland – City of sails

Auckland is known as the ‘city of sails’, and an often quoted – though difficult to prove – statistic is that there are more boats per capita in New Zealand than anywhere else in the world. (Quoted from NewZealand.com)

On the move, some landscape captured along the way.

I hope I know at which cable car station they are at though.

Serene, peaceful, beautiful town. My parents said that you can never get into traffic jam as they have once counted that there are only 5 cars that pass through a town road in 10 minutes.

Oh wait, some time you do get into traffic when sheeps are making their way across the road to feed on other grassland.

That’s all for now. Enjoy your weekend folks.

How to Install Voice (Cantonese / Taiwanese Mandarin / Chinese Mandarin / Hokkien) to Garmin GPS

11 Apr

If you are trying to install new Voice pack into your Garmin GPS and having trouble installing it in, read on.

If your Garmin device fails to recognize the new Voice file after you placed them into the Voice folder, you will need to change your Voice file’s language ID. This is because some Garmin devices may have native-ly defined a list of languages supported. So, you may bump into problem not being able to find your newly installed Voice file or it will simply overwrites as ‘American English’ instead.

In our particular case here, we may only use only one of the Voice files at a time only as all would overwrites as ‘American English’ instead of showing its actual language name/ID. The solution is to change the voice’s language ID.

  1. First of all, get your VoiceEditor 0.8 ready.
  2. While you are downloading it, make sure that you have your Voice files ready.

If you have trouble downloading / finding the software mentioned or any of the Voice files mentioned in the blog title, you may get all here (Rapidshare / Sendspace). The password is ‘hugolim.com’.

  1. Open up VoiceEditor. Go to Edit -> Change language ID.
  2. Select the Voice file that you want to change it’s language ID.
  3. Choose the language ID that you want to rename it to. In some cases, you may not able to find the exact language ID to map it to so just choose one that you would not use.
  4. Lastly, just upload it to your Garmin/Voice folder and you are good to go.

F1 2010 broadcast in Malaysia

13 Mar

Despite having our own 1Malaysia Lotus F1 team on the grid this year and having Petronas keep throwing money on F1 sponsorship, NTV7 has failed again on bringing live telecast for most of the races.

Last year, it only managed to broadcast 5 races live. This year, it will broadcast only 7 races live out of 19 races in total.

Ntv7 was announced yesterday as the official host broadcaster of the Petronas Malaysian F1 Grand Prix at the Sepang Circuit from April 2-4.

It will air seven races ‘live’ this year – the GPs in Australia, Malaysia, Brazil, China, Canada, Japan and South Korea.

Twelve other races – in Bahrain, Singapore, Spain, Monaco, Turkey, Europe, Britain, Germany, Hungary, Belgium, Italy and Abu Dhabi – will be delayed telecasts.

Link: Berita Harian News

When the broadcast rights is given to 8TV in2006, all the races are aired live.

NTV7 F1 2010 show schedule:

Credit: The schedule above is obtained from NTV7 blog.

With so much of involvement in F1 over these years, with millions of ringgit wasted on F1, we will be catching the first qualifying for the 2010 season in Abu Dhabi tonight at 11pm on NTV7 with a delay 4 hours of original schedule time of 7pm.

Way to go Malaysia! Go go 1Malaysia!

Alternatives

What you can do to stay ‘live’?

You may use the F1′s live timing application online to view the official live timing sheet.

Visually, you may try to use online streaming services like TVUPlayer, PPStream, or other direct streaming links. (This requires a bit of digging in search engine though)

If you are hooked on satellite service like Astro, you may tune in to Star Sports if you don’t mind the very bad commentary.
