I turned red!
Went to fishing on the first day of Raya, together with a friend.. It was at a reservoir at my friends prawn-rearing place (I wonder what term can be used for that).. It was suppose to contain many fishes, big and small.. My friend told me that an ah pek ever caught a 20kg big fish.. wow! but during that day, maybe just not our day gua.. first it was heavy rain! After that, I thought the weather will be very cool.. WHO KNOWS! the sun was so bright and shiny.. and I got this sun burn on my hands and some parts of my neck.. where's the haze when you need it! My hands are now looking redish.. (refer pic) So unusual but not first time la.. (looked like char sau?) Back to topic, all the big fishes are no where to be seen.. only left those tiny fishes.. :P We left at around 4pm and went to eat a great meal at Buntal.. ;) (Buntal's famous for it's seafood, if ya wanna know)
Second day, I went visiting in the afternoon.. 1 house at Jln Astana and 2 at Matang Jaya.. it was quite jam at Satok bridge roundabout there.. but expected la.. anyway, there were many cakes and foods at all the houses visited..haha.. very nice.. but sadly, since is second day.. so no more curry to eat.. Lol.. but nvr mind I guess.. since weather hot so better don eat spicy food? :D

Memo to employee :D
Effective September 2006
DRESS CODE
1) It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a pay raise.
2) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a pay raise.
3) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a pay raise.
SICK LEAVE
We will no longer accept a doctor's certificate as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work. (Prim3: my personal fav!!!!!!)
HOLIDAY LEAVE
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.
COMPASSIONATE LEAVE
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.
TOILET USE
1) Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the cubicles.
2) At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the cubicle door will open, and your picture will be taken.
3) After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company notice board under the "Chronic Offenders" category.
4) Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.
LUNCH BREAK
1) Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy.
2) Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure.
3) Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.
Thank you for your loyalty to our company. Remember we are an employer of choice and we are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.

End of the line?
Summary
Traffic shaping provides a mechanism to control the volume of traffic being sent into a network (bandwidth throttling), and the rate at which the traffic is being sent (rate limiting). For this reason, traffic shaping schemes need to be implemented at the network edges to control the traffic entering the network. It also may be necessary to identify traffic flows at the ingress point (the point at which traffic enters the network) with a granularity that allows the traffic-shaping control mechanism to separate traffic into individual flows and shape them differently.
Two predominant methods for shaping traffic exist: a leaky bucket implementation and a token bucket implementation. Both these schemes have distinctly different properties and are used for distinctly different purposes.
In computer networking, traffic shaping works by debursting traffic flows, i.e. smoothing the peaks and troughs of data transmission.
- A before-and-after example of how traffic shaping works is as follows:
Before traffic shaping: 10 packets in one second, 0 packets in the next second, 10 packets in the next second, 0 packets the next second. - After traffic shaping: 1 packet per 0.2 seconds.
BitTorrent
In the last year many ISPs have begun using Traffic Shaping software to curb the usage of BitTorrent and other Peer-to-Peer filesharing systems, such as DC++ and Soulseek. Nominally their reasoning behind these actions would be to decrease jitter and packet loss, but the truth of the matter is that many of them offer unlimited bandwidth at a certain speed and filesharing systems swallow a greater than anticipated amount of that bandwidth. Many have opted for traffic shaping (also referred to as "throttling") to manage the usage of this bandwidth, prioritising web browsing and on-line gaming over Peer-to-Peer traffic and ftp downloads, either because they are unable to upgrade their bandwidth fast enough, or as an alternative to upgrading their bandwidth. The unfortunate side-effect to this system is it comes across as ISPs attempting to attack and stop Peer-to-Peer connections, a perfectly legal system of data transfer (which many corporations use for their own purposes ie. Blizzard Entertainment using BitTorrent for World of Warcraft updates). Note that these statements do not hold true for all ISPs, but it is entirely likely that many use traffic shaping specifically for the purposes of curbing Peer-to-Peer usage. Depending on the country and the copyright laws in question this could represent an infringement on certain freedoms.
This is really bad news for all Streamyx (whom I believe almost all are p2p users? :P ) as we are paying >RM66 per month for 512K and above packages just for chatting, email, surfing?????? What the heck is this?????? Since information technology is a free technology, there should not be any traffic shaping! We should be allowed to use it as we like? And not to forget your broadband as you call it is tons of times slower than those offered in other countries.. (Just take singapore for example, where 4M and 8M packages are the norm!) Maybe it's time to change back to dial-up and boycott the so-called broadband.. =.="

开不了口
还是应该学着勇敢开口吧。。。。。。
好歌分享
作词: 林唯 作曲:梁介洋 编曲:陈飞午
空气里躲着什么
有点浪漫的心动
我偷偷看你
你也偷偷看我
世界上多了什么
好像变得很不同
站在你身边
这一切都好宽阔
我还在等着你
静静的爱我
只要有你陪我
静静的就足够
你也在等着我
静静的温柔
就这样手牵手
静静的看着天空
心里面藏着什么
你只想要让我懂
原来我的梦
也就是你的梦
哦 纸条上写了什么
我好想要听你说
让字字句句
充满我们的笑容
永远要记得那天彼此许下的承诺
瞬间点亮的火花
是我们的拥有
静静的手牵手
是最简单的梦
