Hot…and sweaty

Little did I realise that KL is that hot till I am here myself. Compared to KULIM where the house is a terraced lot, I thought the flat the hubby stayed in is bearable since he said it’s quite cool, and well, I had to drag myself and the little tot to the new place as I do want to barely furnish it, and since it’s too costly and tiring for him to drive back and forth between Kulim and Damansara every weekend. Imagine the toll, fuel and the damage to the car, or motorbike in his manner of commuting.

It was his birthday and the computer cannot be up and running, so I will try and sneak into his office and PICASA the photos, plus that the apartment cannot have STREAMYX installed, for no good reason, and that the water….was actually a little run of rust.

I was surprised that he bought the R.O water from downstairs daily because even with filtered water system, the water taste quite awful, as compared to KEDAH where we drink the water straight from the tap.

It’s HOT right now, and since it takes ages to get things done….even the CELCOM Broadband can only get a stable 56K link using 2G as many areas even in the Mutiara Damansara / Sri Damansara area are good for 2G or maybe 3G.

A special mention

Firstly, the husband is kind of upset that he lost his ‘Glitter’ again from Nuffnang, which basically gives them another excuse not to pay him for the previous months’ hard work, advertising and modification of advertising space to optimize the revenue and exposure. It’s hard work too , accommodating to me and the whims of me changing my mind and themes ad-hoc basis, and not loosing any other huge financial support to entertain myself and you too.

Well,it’s a GUY thing, which we girls just sit back and dictate, as to our whim and fancy as it’s part of the contract, "you want to be happy, you gotta please me first," right ladies? Like I said, the aesthetic values must be retained at all times, and with the times being bad, I have stopped totally writing about products or services for more than a year now, since Pay Per Post system does not work well for us Asians.

We actually signed an exclusive deal with Aductions Inc, whom had a BRAND NEW office in WISMA BU8 at Bandar Utama (just off TV3 and next to the Damansara PLUS Toll) to display ads for the Malaysian and International Markets. Since you guys are the core that supports me and my habits (blogging and blog hopping, reading and updating facebooks and playing the Games), I would like to add a special mention to RockSoft Sdn Bhd, the kind sponsor for the week on the Aductions Wide Skyscraper slot, showing off e-Ruang dedicated server hosting in Malaysia.

Little that I know, they are the ONLY MALAY MUSLIM OWNED and OPERATED Hosting provider in Malaysia with THEIR OWN SERVER and Hardware, not borrowed, stolen or rented out from someone else. The servers are of their own, and they specialize in DEDICATED SERVERS as compared to the shared hosting environment where there are so many players which are mainly Ali-Babas. Prices start as low as RM350 on a very low end server (with Promotional Codes) and dedicated minimum bandwidth of at least 1Megabytes a second, burstable to 10MB or so without any additional charges,which is good for up to 1000 simultaneous users at a go, able to run as many as 1500 sub blogs.

I heard of this guy through another blog site called BLOGMAS as they too host with e-Ruang with experience of more than 10 years or so under their belt. Prices remain very competitive and from what I hear, if you can pay a year upfront, of course you will get more freebies like more RAM, Memory, Hard Disk space or even a price discount. They are also cheaper than Exabytes or EMERGE.

And again, their website is e-Ruang dot com and I thank them for hogging my space for the next week or so. If you wish to get this Skyscraper ad space,please go through the Aductions.com system and did you know that Aductions too are moving their main servers to Malaysia and NOT Singapore? I just wonder why.

Green Outs

I took some photos of the potted plants that we have at home. Well, actually not we, the husband. Sometimes it lives. Sometimes it dies. Sometimes he plants some more, sometimes he planted something else.

I know most of these plants, but a couple of them just threw me off. I thought those were tomatoes, but the husband informed me that those are potatoes. OK heh….

There is also kencur, which I have no idea how to use in cooking. Mom told me that it is used in urap/kerabu. The leaves, I am assuming. I think the roots is used in cooking, though I have no idea how heh. I think the root looks like tumeric, only it is creamy white instead of yellowish in color like tumeric.

But anyway, these are what we have outside.

Today

My mom turned up yesterday. Did I mention that already? Oh yeah I did. Anyway, she turned up around 6ish in the evening, and today she left around 4pm. I took the opportunity to take some photos of Tia and her MakTok since the last time I took any photos of her was last week.

Here’s couple more. It looks like it is going to rain, so there goes my plan to take Tia to pasar malam (yes husband, I would drag her to the pasar malam) to buy the tau fu fah. Teringinnya
