Sorrow meets pain; life. eBay. My degrading health. The Modem.

p12

Haha, Just did this after Maghrib, My eldest sister ask me to print her  massive notes which is more than 20 adobe files which contain pages range from 4 to 51 :S. Took me about 2hrs +  heated gain ass to print them all. As to repay back my good deeds, I have made a special wallpaper for her laptop to remind her when she someday become rich like Richy rich I want her to get me unlimited stock of Sushi (boi at this age I’m addicted to Sushi! used to feel aliened on them) and two Persian kitten (love cats with long hair) from Australia. She still haven’t check her laptop tho, after her out-ing with her boyfriend as usual. Tomorrow should be a surprise to her!

before this happen, below is the early story today..

I wake up pretty late today, somewhere @ 1-2pm. Not feeling well as usual, I got this extravaganza throat problem, well, technically since I lift my foot to Uni life. The thing is that, I never care about it, until this few days it irritated my health very aggressively.

@ two pm during my persona lunch hour, my 2nd sister told me in surprise, while I was just about to open my mouth to enter my food, telling me two collection cards from MPC arrived this early morning. I was kinda happy for it, as to be confident that, it would be my Original iPod (touch model) earphones and my Nike+ iPod Pouch to be arrived (according to data given by eBay seller). So we rush to MPC (Mail Processing Center,) Old Airport to collect my goods @ three pm.

To my surprise, the 1st package was the Ubuntu DVDs, that I requested 25th last month and the other one is my iPod earphone replacement. And no, the Nike+ iPod Pouch haven’t yet arrived.

The Package and the its inside, 2DVDs and the sticker. (From TNT-Netherlands), same as the old one here: my old Ubuntu DVD post. Gonna install it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

As planned earlier, after getting my items, we also took the chance to grab the new “Telephone Directory Brunei Darussalam 2008″. Took two; one for my room and one for my family to use.

p11

Oh boy, going to visit ENT, RIPAS next month :S this throat is serious, a lump? itchy? By the way they’ keep on saying and writing this down ‘SORE THROAT‘ on my sick paper health note. And I keep saying its not sore throat, its just itchy.. I.T.C.H.Y. Oh well, hopefully this screening test during ENT session would be great. Remind me to say this during the future session:

I have a bad Itchy throat, since ages ago; cough occasionally, because of irritation; can I get larynxscope please; blood test and a chest X-ray for chest infection or anything related with my abnormality of my discomfort phenomena. This will be fun, as I love watching HouseMD, I mean Dr. House Show, do you watch it too?”

Since, holiday can be so jobless, cleaning my ADSL eSpeed modem is an option. But disappointingly, the present of dusk was so limited :[ wanted to expect more, because its been almost 2 years this modem with me :(

OK thats all, for an update, pray for my health and my mum health.
Got 2 more item from USA eBay seller, The secret book, from Alaska and Nike+ iPod Pouch from New York
and 1 DVD, Peaceful Warrior from US too.

Firefox Download Day: Firefox 3

I successfully downloaded Mozilla Firefox 3, 20mins later after it was officially launched @ PCT 10.00AM (GMT -8:00), June 17, which is equivalent to 1:00AM (GMT +8:00), 18 June Brunei Time.

The traffic was very high, I’m sure millions of were trying to download it too, and wanted to try out the new final release of Mozilla Firefox 3. Good thing all my add-on plugins work fine after the updates. This FF3 also speed up its boot for opening the program. You have 24hrs from the time I just mention above, to make history world genius record of most downloaded software in 24 hrs.

Honestly I do miss my old me, coz its more to have an expression figure of life, thats is to numerously posing with your mobile phone camera; being vain from time to time. Yeah hitting girls as to have a crush to a girl is more frequently a habit, as I have personally more high self esteem that time before now.

“Its take courage and time to go back to the slim world.” But again, right now, I still don’t have the inspiration to be at that position again. I guess if I do plan to be fit again, it must be because of health concern, A crush (girl) initiate motivation, getting soon married or too much humiliation from public eyes of their concern of being what I am today. Well honestly I do get ‘it’ a lot already. =P

“I love myself, although I’m ugly in many angles.” I’m still grateful tho, after all, having several ugly surgical marks, which is very huge and ugly.. (Yeah if you had surgery during the 80′s before laser have yet been invented, I’m sure you will get the same scar like I have for 20yrs of life) which restricted me to get half naked in the public or even complete naked haha. Only to be showed to my boy-friends never the girl-friends as its haram to show it. hehe. Having said that, sometime I do wish I did have a normal and complete anatomy like others, not perfect but wish to be like others. As most religions say, the Almighty have better plans for me (not to be bias and stereotypes of world religion).

Time will tell whether in the future I’ll get slim.. oh well this is overrated already. “I’m happy, although I used to be more happier then this”.

Confession of regret?

Before and After

supasave2supasave

SupaSave® my favorite Grocery shop in town. Every month It is a must to go there. I even got a Baiduri SupaSave Debit card to go with. Buying this bag is just to support SupaSave and not honestly to do with the earth day concern =P The bag is totally suitable for me as I usually bought not that much of goods, and this bag totally fits all the items.

Tuna+Pizza2Tuna+Pizza

SupaSave® also mean, “lets cook!” This is one of my specialties, Just basic here, unless I’m too excited to create something extravaganzas Pizza. {Pizza Pan + Mozzarella + Tuna + Tomato+Chili Paste, and mayonnaise for the tuna dressing}

misatothem

I went to Misato Restaurant with them, @ Kiulap for the 1st time. Usually getting sushi is always at The Mall’s food court. The food is great, but its superb expensive. And thats my sister with her twinkle little star men.

“I’m still waiting for 3 eBay Items (Original Apple iPod Headset for iTouch (Hong Kong), Original Nike+ Ipod Case (Florida New York, USA) and The Secret book by Rhonda Byrne (Anchorage, Alaska, USA); 1 original Peaceful Warrior DVD (from Universal studio) directly bought at BigRockMedia.com (USA) [coz its cheaper then buying on their eBay listing store, yeah i know I'm smart =p] and lastly 2 free operating system DVDs from Ubuntu.

All have been shipped except for the book :S He emailed me ( 12 June~1PM Alaska time/13 June ~4am Brunei time) for my address confirmation, he got ‘thinking’ for the differences given addresses between my eBay postal address with my PayPal registered address. I did email him back (12 June~5pm Alaska Time/13 June~8am Brunei time) for the confirmation address.

Probably he will send it on Monday Morning Alaska Time (GMT -7), just like the Nike+ iPod case that have been delivered the early next week coz there was no open shipping distributor on weekend in USA.”

I'm back with eBay! and I'm addicted.

I’m still fighting for two items now (Sony 4GB Memory Stick and The Secret (Book) by Rhonda Byrne.

Vistaebaytools

Thank You Window Vista for this Tools

To win an auction item, its not a very easy, perhaps its very competitive ‘game’ against all the world bidders. So I do have my own strategies to keep up with it. Window Vista’s currency exchange is very useful, as it help to convert Brunei currency to another currency. I’m using Singapore currency tho, there’s no Brunei currency listed. I can have a maximum of 4 currency exchange, I wish there was more. So I choose British Pound, US Dollar, Australian Dollar and Singapore Dollar. The reasons is because I easily shift my self from one eBay website to another eBay sites, which are eBay.com (US), eBay.co.uk (United Kingdom), Ebay.com.au. I also have eBay official time to get me notifies of the current time left for the auctions.

I still need an old calculation and notes method for eBay

Honestly, I still use this paper pen calculation for currency and notes on eBay matters. I take notes on when I won, when I made payment, when the seller received my payment, when the seller ship my item and when to expect the items arrival date, this is all important!

Oyeah did you know, even at 4am dawn I log into my Baiduri Internet Banking, just to add on my financial into my credit card! crazy.. Thank you Baiduri Bank, and Thank You PayPal! Just notice that, transferring $$ to your Mastercard Credit Card won’t work at 10pm to 3am. Becasue I’ve tried between 10pm-1am it never worked. I will try the time between 1am-3am next time. But from 3 o’clock it works like magic. Its all about Banking facilities, all I want is to have adequate fund on my Credit Card for PayPal charge =).

Was registered site at eBay.co.uk but now I’m officially registered at eBay.com

Guess what, I send an email to eBay just to switch off my official registration site from eBay.co.uk to eBay.com. I registered eBay on March 27, 2006 at UK eBay site, but do to convenient on using United States eBay because of the nature of US dollar currency, I had asked them to switch me. And guess what, it was possible! I was just being ‘probability’ on asking if there was such solution. Well, eBay have easily answer me they could do the changes of transferring my registration from eBay.co.uk to eBay.com with one condition to change my registration address to US. and it was done and it was successful. I used a Hotel in Miami, Florida USA for my temporary registration address. For my USA Phone number for registration, gosh don’t ask! (It’s a fraud and It’s a secret haha).
