Videogame life

Hey, guys! Today, I wanna share with you guys about the videogame life. Videogame is started introduced to the public during the 1975s. The first generation of home videogame is Magnavox Odyssey from Magnavox. However, home videogame was became popular with the release of Antari's Pong. Start from that moment, videogame has became an commercialized entertainment. Most of the people whose born after the 1980s is familiar with the videogame consoles such as Antari, Gameboy, Playstation, Wii, X-box and PC.

Most of the us have or had played videogame for a long time including myself. However, the number of people addicted to videogame has increasing and it has become one of the major problem that we should concern towards the young generation. I have quit from the videogame world for quite a long time because I found that most of the time we spend on videogame can be use to do other things such as exercise, going for a wedding ceremony and more.

The actual purpose of creating videogame is for us to have entertainments with it instead of doing nonsense. Thus, we should play videogame when we are really free enough. Most of us does not realize the actual purpose of videogame and treat it as the most important things must do in a day. This is commonly happen on male and this circumstances have started influences the female too. Besides, most of the gamers are too focuses on their games and this lead to the health problem.

Apart from that, playing videogame also means that you will waste more money on it. However, this money is quite valuable because you are entertaining by the game. Besides that, playing videogame also make people less communicate with the outside world or in the reality. This may bring to the lack of confidence, depression or even loneliness to you. Actually, I don't blame on any gamers, game developers, or gaming industry but I just wanna let you guys realize is not good to having videogame as your primary way to live in this world.

Okay, that's all I wanna share for today. Thanks for your time and wish you guys have a nice day and say goodbye to addicted to gaming. Please stay tuned for my next post.

Suicide Never Will Be The Best Solution

Few days ago, someone has suicide and this news had become some of the chinese newspapers headline at Malaysia. Commonly, once we become the headline of the newspaper we will feel proud of it. However, this news would forever be the most sad case for most of the Malaysian especially his parents. This case also reveals that most of the Malaysian youngsters fall into the mentality problem. Thus, I would like to share some of my opinions about the mentality problem.

The causes of suicide can be divided into mental and physical problem. In most cases, suicides can be categories as mentality problem. Example of physical problems are physical disabilities such as paralyse due to stroke or incidents, diseases such as AIDS, SARS, financial problems or others. Example of mentality problems are mental disorder, disappointed in love, quarrel with someone, financial pressure or others. All these problems may bring to the suicide's decision if the person do not think carefully.

Actually, all these mental problems can be solved if our mental strong enough and having good Emotional Quotient (EQ). In this case, I would only focuses on suicide problem. Most of us would came out the idea of suicide when we out of idea to solve the problem we faced with. By thinking wisely about the problem we faced with, we may get the proper solution(s). Apart from that, we also seldom think of our siblings' feeling if we use the improper solution(s) to solve the problem(s) especially suicide.

Actually, suicide is not a better solution but it is the most worst solution. Suicide would bring sadness and unforgiving to your family and friends. Suicide is not a relief method but it is a method where you will increase pain and sins to yourself. Your family and friends will remember this moment forever and the scene of suicide would appear in their mind for quite a long time. Sometime, you may not successfully suicide and more worst situation occurs afterward such as become paralyse or coma. This also brought sadness and worries to your family. Even though you had successfully suicide, you still may come across of problems such as stuck in this world and not in the heaven or hell. According to Tao or Buddha, a soul of suicide people will remains in this world until the time to transmigrate has come.

From my understanding towards this explanation of soul, a soul will only have 3 places to live which are Heaven, this world and Hell. Heaven is a place where someone have done enough of spiritual practice so that they are free from the transmigrate and Hell is a place where someone whose done not enough of spiritual practice so that they are unable to free from the transmigrate. For those soul that suicide or having accident, their soul would remains at the place where they have the accident. Besides, they would go nowhere because they need to find the scapegoat to replace his/her place and they would repeating the whole process of suicide in a certain period until they found another person to take their place.


To make it easier, we consider the whole process of suicide as a process of bang by a car with the speed of 150km/h and they need repeating this process on a certain period such as every 7 days until they found another person to take their turn. Although they have death and they do not have the feeling of pain or tired anymore, they will still feel horrible and regret for what they did (suicide). Thus, this whole process is a painful memory to them and even though they have transmigrate to this world, they will still have this memory and they may repeat this process again when they reach certain time/ages.

As a conclusion, never thought that suicide would be a good solution and always "Say No To Suicide". Although my thought is a bit of religious perspective, but I do hope most of the youngsters can take this matter as a serious matter and do not ever try to suicide no matter in what situation you face with. Okay, that's all for today. Thanks for your time and hope you guys have a nice day. Please stay tuned for my next post.

My Holiday Life

I just end my Third Year semester a week ago. After this month, I will go for my internship at Cyberjaya. The whole internship period is last for 5 months and I would start my internship on 3th January 2011 at Panasonic R&D. For me, this is a whole new circumstances for me because the lifestyle would be a bit different from my study lifestyle. I wish to use this opportunity to gain more knowledge and meet with some new friends.

During this holiday period, I use some of my time for watching movies and reading books. Recently, I just watch an Indian movie which starring by Aamir Khan. Its name is 3 Idiots. This is a nice comedy movie that I must recommend to you guys other than Slumdog Millionaire. It is a film based on the novel "Five Point Someone - What Not To Do at IIT" from Chetan Bhagat. However, its plot story is different from the novel but the core theme and message from the film is coming from the novel.

This movie is an Indian-style comedy and its plot story is very compact and not much unrelated scene in the movie. However, this movie do have the similarity with Indian-style movie which is melodramatic(melody + acting). This movie mentioned about the problem of some students faced when they are study in the university. Overall, this movie is worth to be watch and you guys can found it on the Youtube channel. You just need to type "3 Idiots" in the Youtube search bar then you can get the movie.

Okay, that's all for today. Thanks for your time. Wish you guys have a nice day and enjoy the movie. Please stay tuned for my next post.

我的梦想

 哈咯，大家好！这一期我将会分享我的梦想。我想几乎全世界的人都曾拥有过梦想和写过“我的梦想”这篇作文吧！这次我经过了可算蛮漫长的岁月洗礼后，决定再次重写这个题目。当然，这一次的文章叙述与表达方式大大改善了。而这文章也跟以往的作文有所不同，因为我也渗入我的个人历程。每个人都拥有独特的思考方式，而梦想当然也会与众不同。有些人会有大抱负的梦想，而有些人则会有小我的梦想。大梦想可包括成为一名国家领导人、能影响全球的能人等，而小梦想则包括建一所理想中的家园、一名默默无闻的艺员等。

提了这么多的梦想，那梦想到底能给与我们什么影响呢？简单来说，梦想就是目标或志愿。它能让我们拥有一股动力与持恒力去完成与实现我们的梦想。它的出现也是为了让人们拥有活下去与寻找合适自己的生活，而没有梦想的人就等同于漫无目的的活死人。活死人就好比如一个活着的僵尸或木乃伊般，它们都是毫无目的的活在世上。这是因为它们最亲的人大部分都已不再世上了，而它们原本存活的目的是为了与最亲的人在一起。

我不知你们是否曾经历过这个过程，但我坦白的说我是过来人。这段过程要从我的小学说起。打从我小学二年级，我已开始设定了心目中的梦想。我犹余记得我对于梦想的设定是来自于二年级华文作文里的题目，“我的梦想”。当时，我的梦想是成为一位医生。无可否认的是这建议是出自于我的父母，只因当时的我对于自己还未够了解与明白梦想的作用。从此以后，我的梦想就经历过无间断的变更。

我最初的梦想是成为一名医生而慢慢演变成羽毛球健将、科学家、发明家、漫画家和写作家，而这些梦想陪伴在我的身旁一直到我升上中五才开始消失。当时的我可说是位懵懵懂懂的小伙子，在我眼中只有读书才是一切以至于任何的课外活动我也没有参加过。我想这些梦想会慢慢从我脑海中消失，也是因为我已经开始发现我是不可能实现这些梦想了。从此，梦想这个词就在我的脑海里消失。这个状况一直维持到我高中六毕业为止。打从我考完STPM后，我就开始慢慢思索我的未来。

在思索当中，我时常从我脑海里看见一片雪花闪过。这也意味着我的未来可能是一片无知与无方向的。恰好，那时我刚找到了一份 Part-time工作来做。这份Part-time工作可说是我的其中一个人生考验。在那里，我认识了一些无聊的家伙和一群跟我拥有共同爱好的朋友。在那份工作里，我发现许多人都拥有无聊与无变化的人生。他们只会永远活在那个圈子也不想对自己的生活提供一些变化，最后他们只会一整天埋怨这个那个。在那时，我不断的思索着自己的未来。可是，这未来实在太远了，远到我也看不见自己的影子了。

当时，我只有一个念头也就是继续升学。可是，我当时的升学选择只是考虑进入政府学府而已。所以，当我的STPM成绩放榜时，我决定随便选择一些科系以便我能够进入政府高等学府。在那段等待学府录取成绩时间里，我还曾考虑过我该不该入读该所学府。我当时担心政府学府只是录取小部分的华裔而已，而大部分由“他族”构成。当录取名单放榜时，我决定放手一搏了，也就是先进入那所学府才作打算。事实证明我的决定是对的，而政府学府也不一定只有小部分的华裔学生。

在我进入了这所学府后，我还在考虑着我的未来一直到我重遇回这位挚友。是他把我从梦中惊醒的，也是他让我重得梦想这个念头在我的脑海中。我想如我没重遇回他，那我可能就此糊涂一生了。在他的一番话语中，我开始明了理想中的生活是要自己争取回来的，并也逐渐了解“人因梦想而伟大”这个道理。现在，我的梦想是在我毕业后的5年内赚取人生的第二或第三桶金。我想很多人会嘲笑我这个梦想，可是一个没有梦想的人就永远不会成功，因为他从不知他该从何出发。

但是一个人纵有梦想也是不够的，因为梦想只是一个让你开始的脚步而已。它也不会自动实现的，除非你去实现与实践它。所以，别只是想做个梦想家就满足了，因为实践家永不会满足于他们的现况。在此，我想感谢那位挚友的劝告与帮助。好了我的文章就到此为止，希望大家别再只做梦想家了，而是成为一位实践家。多谢大家的阅读。后会有期。望你们能拥有美好的未来。

玄学里的人生道理

大家好，我已有好一段时间没有更新我的部落格与用中文来写文章了。今天，我忽然心血来潮决定重用中文来写这文章。近来，我的课业总算可以暂告一段落了。因此，我也多了些时间可以阅读课外书。这次，我所阅读的书是由一位堪舆家或密宗金刚阿闍黎著称的李居明所著。此书命名为佛灵人之玄学入门。

在我未介绍书里的内容前，我先把作者简略地介绍一番。李居明是位香港前影圈艺人、堪舆家和密宗金刚阿闍黎。他也是香港的《奇闻杂志》创办人。他曾用中国堪舆飞星秘法为美国考古学家寻找恐龙化石，并在2002年成功发掘世界上首只海龙化石。2006年他为美国阿特兰Coca-cola总部看风水，并以八字神学批算Coca-cola的百年大运盛衰。由此，Coca-cola的商标颜色与包装从此改变了。近年来，李居士已半退休状态，甚少接触社交活动。欲知更多李居明个人资料，请浏览此网页。

从书名的字眼上看，可得知此书大概与玄学有关的。其实，此书涵盖的内容并不只是玄学，它也触及人生的价值观与道理。其中一句给我留下深刻印象的句子是：“每个人的财富多少都是预定的，有一得必有一失”。此话摘录于此书的第六章，而此章所提的是发财赢钱方位学。在这章节里，李居明提到他们用方位学来做试验并测验是否有方位学这个原理。他们的测试方式是通过打麻将来应验这学问。首先，他们先测好哪个时间哪个方位会使人赢钱；然后，再看谁坐于哪个方位而得知谁会赢钱。他们一行人大概打了3个小时的麻将，而试验结果是满灵验的。

在此章节尾，李居明问了他的师傅为何不通过方位学来赚钱。他师傅则回答：“这是泄露天机”而接下去的下一句话就是以上我所提的这句话。他师傅说道通过这方法去赚钱的话，就好比你预支了你应得的财富。通过测财位去赢钱并不值得恭喜，因为你会因贪念而失一好处。结果当你最后结算时，你会发现与其预支财富，不如顺其自然得到那笔财富。在这我想表达的意思是别随便通过不劳而获的方式来赚钱，因为一旦你不劳而获的赚了那笔钱，你就会乱挥霍那笔钱。最后你还可能完全预支你所有的财富，并沦落到一贫二洗的状况。到头来，你就会埋怨老天爷对你不公平。事实上老天爷已待你不薄，只是你没去珍惜机会而已。

此外，在本书中他也触及一些稀奇古怪的课题。例如，超能力者、借树转运、轮回等。由此可见，他是一位蛮有趣的堪舆家。此书所讲述的课题都是经过一番的调查与些许证据证实的，所以并不一定是无稽之谈。此外，我也要套用他书里的一句话，也就是：“世界上只有未被认识的事物，而没有不可认识的事物”。所以，大家请先别随便否定一些你所不知的事物，因为有些事物是不能被人类的常理所认识与理解的。

大家有空的话，请多阅读一些课外书吧！对玄学有兴趣者，可以多阅读李居明的著作。他所写的玄学书籍大多会深入浅出的讲解玄学的道理。好了，今天就到此为止。我们下一期再见。谢谢。

Feng Shui(风水)

Hey, guys! Finally, I have done with my Final Year Project draft. As I mentioned in the previous post, I gonna share something about Feng Shui. This time, I will share some of my family background. I have several uncles and one of my uncle is a Feng Shui Master. He was a reporter of "The Star" last time and currently a Feng Shui Master. His Feng Shui's knowledge was learned from an old man as I heard from my father. Moreover, my father also a Feng Shui enthusiast and he learn all these by himself.

For you guys information, Feng Shui consists of 5 elements that are Metal(金), Wood(木), Water(水), Fire(火) and Earth(土). These five elements form our earth and most of the things in the world. These five elements can be found in most of the things in our Earth therefore they can be consider as the basic elements. One important point that I want to mention here is Feng Shui does not related to any of the religious and it only mentioned about the nature of the world. Feng Shui explain about the relationship between all the living things with the non-living things. It is a quite abstract topic and it do related to our daily life.

Actually, Feng Shui is just a part of the contents from the Book of Change(易经). Almanac(通书) is also another topic that obtains from the Book of Change and it is closely related to Feng Shui. In other words, Feng Shui and Almanac are subset of Book of Change. Begins from here I will describe about some of the Feng Shui aspect. According to my uncle's description, we can make some change to our life by implements Feng Shui in our daily life. The daily life that I mention is not the usual daily life that we refer to, but it consists of the way we live and lifestyle.

My uncle did mentioned an important advice for those that plan to hire a Feng Shui Master last time and I will share it to you guys at here. Some of Feng Shui Masters are not good in their profession due to lack of certain important knowledge in Feng Shui but some how they still can make something bad to you. If you invite these kind of professionist and you don't believe with them then they can make use of Gui Wei(鬼位) to do something harmful on you so that you would believe on it. However, most of the skillful Feng Shui Masters won't do such kind of thing to us. Therefore, please do not offend Feng Shui Masters.

Some people may thought that this is just a joke but it really can happen to anyone of us. The effect of Feng Shui is not just improve your life but it can also make you(including your family and descendants) much more worse than now. Therefore, do not try to offend Feng Shui Masters. The ex-president of Republic of China, Mao Zedong(毛泽东) is one of the beneficiary of Feng Shui. His story has been mentioned innumerable time in most of the Feng Shui's book.

During his childhood, his father was guided by a Feng Shui Master for buried his grandfather's body on a good land(龙脉). According to the explanation of Feng Shui's book, the place where his grandfather buried is only good to him but may caused harmful to his descendants. As a result, most of the Mao Zedong's son were death before the autumn of their life. His four out of six sons had passed away in the young age. This is one of the effect of Feng Shui.

Actually, Feng Shui can be consider as a science of civil engineering. It always refer to the direction of our house situated and the household design. It is much like interior design but it more emphasize on the effect of the design. For example, we should not place our kitchen facing with the toilet. From the aspect of Feng Shui explanation, toilet is belongs to water element whereas kitchen is fire element. Both these elements cannot face with each other because they are oppose to each other and if they are facing each other then worst situation may occurs. From the aspect of science, kitchen should not face with toilet because toilet is one of the most dirty places in our house.

Apart from that, if your house is facing with the T junction, then you will easily feel of under pressure and insomia. From the aspect of Feng Shui, this happen because of the flow of Chi(气). Different kind of Chi is always flowing into your house. Different Chi can have different effect and this can affect to your health especially your mental. From the aspect of science, when you living in such kind of houses, you will always see the car pass by. Every time a car pass by in front of your house, you will worry of the car is unable to stop right at the T junction and even afraid of horrible accident(s) happen in front of your house. As a result, it can caused your pressure increase and insomia. Therefore, Feng Shui is a logical subject too.

My conclusion is no matter you believe it or not, Feng Shui do exist. Hope you guys after read through this article can have a more understanding of Feng Shui. Thanks for your reading. Stay tuned for my next post. Hope you guys have a nice day!

My grandfather story

Hey, guys! Sorry for been a long time for not updating my blog. I'm currently busy with my Final Year Project therefore not much of time to update my blog. However, today I would like to share a real story about my grandfather.

My grandfather was came from China during 19th century. During those time, most of the Chinese whom came from China are as slave or been slave trade(卖猪仔) to the South-East Asia. His real surname was Wong(王). After my grandfather came to Malaya for quite a long time, he was adopted by the Lee's family as foster-son. That's how my grandfather surname change to Lee. The main reason of my great-grandfather adopted my grandfather as foster-son was because my great-grandfather(foster-father of my grandfather) have married for a period but they still have not gave birth. According to elders' advice, if someone have married for quite a long time and still have no children then they can have chance of fertility through adopting a child. As a result, my grandfather was adopted by the Lee's family. May be you guys will feel that this elders' advice is nonsense. However, it did work on my great-grandfather. After my grandfather was adopted, my great-grandmother(foster-mother of my grandfather) had pregnant and birth 2 sons for the Lee's family.

Ok, that's all for my grandfather personal background. Then, I will talk about my grandfather personal story. My grandfather was a lorry driver before he was passed away. He was death not because of having fatal disease but due to the Tame Head(降头) of someone else. My grandfather passed away when my father was 8 years old. According to my father's description, he knew it was a Tame Head because he did saw some omen that is he saw a devil(鬼子) appeared before my grandfather have the Tame Head. Before I continue with my grandfather story, I will explain about the term of devil that I used in previous sentence.

The devil that I mention here was not the western devil. It was a child whom was death because of diseases or abortion(mostly due to abortion) and the body of the child has been captured and stored in a container by the sorcerer. Before the sorcerer captured and adopted the death child, they required to go through a spirit-callback ceremony. This spirit-recall ceremony required the death body of the child and some more ceremony stuffs. I would not explain the whole process of spirit-callback ceremony because I was not very clear about the whole process and it also required some professional knowledge in this area.

This spirit-callback ceremony was used as callback for the soul of the death body for return to their body and therefore the child will be consider as 'alive'. The meaning of alive is not the body alive but is their soul alive. The body of the child is consider as a shell or home for it. This shell will be feed by the sorcerer/owner every day. However, the method of feeding is very disgusting and horrible. Therefore, I won't mention about it. Although they had death, but their soul still can walk around. Therefore, sorcerer/owner use them to perform some tasks that human hard to go through such as investigating someone personal background without go through physical contact or win in gambles. The devil can also been adopted by other people. However, it is costly and somehow it may hazard to the owner and whole family too.

Ok, let us back to the story. My father had saw the devil for three days continuously and the devil always appeared from the clock hanging on the wall. This situation happen at around 9pm and each time it lasts for around 10 minutes. My father described the devil as a child with a face that was unclear and it only protrude its head from the clock each time it appeared. The devil also knew that it has been saw by my father. However, the devil just smile with my father each time it appeared.

During the moment my father saw it, my father felt curious of it so he quickly wake my grandfather up and told him that he saw it. Then, my grandfather tried to look at the clock but he said he did not saw anything appeared from the clock. May be my grandfather was too sleepy at that time so he did not saw it. Then my grandfather advice my father for sleep early and do not think much about it.

However, my father did not listened to grandfather's advice and he tried to look at the clock again. After he waited for around five minutes, my father saw the devil appeared from the clock again. After the third night of the appearance of the devil, my grandfather begins sick. My father did not mentioned about the symptom of my grandfather's Tame Head and grandfather had went through several body checkup. However, his disease cannot be identified and begins worst day by day. Even though my grandfather followed the instruction of the doctors and having some medicine but he still unable to recover from the disease.

Apart from visiting doctors, my grandfather did visited sorcerer for removing the Tame Head but it failed too. My grandfather passed away after 2 months of suffering from the Tame Head. Until now, my father still cannot figure out who that give Tame Head to my grandfather. However, since it was past, then we just leaved it away because revenge would not bring any advantage to us even though we have found the Tame Head designator.

Ok, that's all for today! Thanks for reading my post. My next post will related to Feng Shui(风水) so please stay tuned for my next post. Hereby I wish you all have a nice day.

Beware of Fishing (Phishing)!

Hey, guys! Today I gonna share a case of phishing to you guys. What is phishing? It is pronounced as 'fishing' due to it was quite similar to fishing. During fishing, we need to provide a bait then wait for the fish to eat our bait and finally pull the fish up from the water interface. In phishing, all the steps occur in fishing are almost the same except the method and items is a bit different. The bait is replace by the email, SMS, MMS or even phone call whereas the fish is internet users, individual or organization community.

The case of phishing that I gonna share here is the email phishing. Few days ago, I just received an email from HSBC bank and the content of email shown in figure 1.

Figure 1: Phishing email

This email mentioned that I had a change in my personal information or submitted incorrect information during my registration for HSBC bank. However, I felt a bit of suspicious to this email because I don't even have any account in this bank yet nor register myself in this website before. Therefore, I consider it as a fraud email. Somehow, I was quite curious to the link that suggested in the email. Thus, I copy the link and put it to the URL of my browser and I notified that the link's protocol is a HTTPS.

As I learned from my Technology and Information System class, HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) protocol is consider as a secure channel which used to transfer our personal information such as credit card number, personal identity and etc rather than using HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Most of the phishing email will give the link that used HTTP rather than HTTPS. However, these bad guys use HTTPS to perform their evil plans. After I browse through the link and I found out that its interface is almost the same as the interface in the real HSBC bank web page. Below are the figure of real and fake HSBC web page.

Figure 2: Real HSBC web page

Figure 3: Fake HSBC web page

The fake HSBC web page is similar to the real HSBC web page as we can see from the figure 2 and 3. The difference of both web page is not much because most of the functions included in real HSBC web page can be found in the fake HSBC web page and almost all of the functions can be use too. From this case, we can see that the phishing technique of the hacker is getting mature than before.

Besides that, I will ended my case here because I do not perform any further action beyond this point. Since I have share my case, thus I will also share some tips for you guys to avoid from becoming victim of phishing.

Below are the tips of prevent from phishing:
1. Do not simply click on the link of any email from unknown/known senders (especially spam mail) including bankers, organization or even your best friends.
2. If you really want to browse through the link, please copy it and paste it into your browser URL.
3. You can also use some URL checker to check for the link and see whether it is a suspicious link. Here is one of the free online URL checker, McAfee TrustedSource.
4. Check the link whether is HTTP or HTTPS. HTTP is the most common channel used by the hacker whereas HTTPS is far more less use than HTTP.
5. If you receive a instant messaging message that have link from your friends, then do not click on it. Some of the link may have virus or annoying message.
6. If you receive any unknown caller phone, please do not simply give your information to them unless you have confirm their identity.

My conclusion for this case is this phishing email might look real and it might threat some internet users. Therefore, I hope you guys can learn from my case and try to avoid from threaten by phishing message again. Ok, that's all for today. Thanks for reading.

*Above point of view are personal thought thus it might not be 100% correct.

My Life

Hey, guys! I have been a long time not updating my blog. This time I'm gonna share some of my feeling for this whole month.

August is a busy month because almost all kind of events, test and quizzes also happen in this month. As a result, I seldom update this blog. After this month, I will have a New Year Break(a.k.a Raya Break). Hopefully, I can have some good rest during this break. By the way, I got a good news to you guys. I gonna have my practical training at Panasonic Research and Development Center, Cyberjaya starting from 3th January 2011. The validation period is just last for around 6 months.

I heard from my senior that Panasonic is a tough and cruel company for those that having practical training(including myself). There are numerous of rules and regulation plus policies that we must followed in the company such as no medical leave for practical training students, no annual dinner for practical training students and etc. Sometime, there might be OT too but PT students still won't get any extra payment other than allowance.

However, I promise myself and believe that this would be part of the obstacles before we can reach our dream and life. Ok, that's all for today. Before I end my share for today, I would like to wish all Muslims Happy Aidilfitri and be careful during the way back to the kampung.

How to protect your computer?

Nowadays, lots of computer user definitely will login to their social network account, checking e-mail, playing online game and even watching streaming video or music too. But during this time, we might be threaten by the scammers or attackers for exposing our computer security to them. Thus, we need to have some basic knowledge in order to protect our computer from those attackers.

First, let's discuss about a quite famous type of attack which is cross-site scripting attack(XSS). This is a method of attacking your computer through scripts such as JavaScript and this script definitely will be found from the Internet and even from your social network application such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. In this case, we take Facebook as the example of JavaScript embedded page. Recently, scammers have set up illegitimate Facebook pages offering things like a free $500 gift card if you cut and paste some code into your browser's address bar and this probably would be a threat to you guys too. That code actually is JavaScript and you guys should not add those code to your browser because once you add it to your browser then your pc already compromise by the scammers. According to Chris Boyd, a security researcher with Sunbelt Software, "Scammers use this technique to open up unwanted surveys, fill your social networking profiles with spam or even to send you to phishing pages."

To avoid from this attack, you guys can use a free firefox plugin NoScript that allows you to control which websites can run or cannot run JavaScript in your browser. Apart from that, you can disabled JavaSript through your Adobe Reader too. According to Symantec(2009), nearly half of all Web-based attacks were associated with malicious PDF files. Thus, if you make adjustment to your Adobe Reader setting for not allows PDF to execute JavaScript then the risks of being attack by the scammers will also reduce.

The second threat that I gonna discuss is pop-up messages. Sometime, when you are visiting to a legitimate website and suddenly a scary-looking warning message pops up. The message is contain some sort of message as your computer already been infected by the viruses/malwares but when you trying to close up the message then more windows keep popping up and convincing you to scan your computer as soon as possible. If you follow its instruction then the scan will give you a result of found some security problems in your computer and offers you to buy a software which can solve the problem. The software is a rogue antivirus software. The antivirus software probably is a nonfunctional software and the only function of the software is to put your money into their pocket.

Currently rogue antivirus program become one of the most annoying security problems and to the victim, the pop-ups can seem like an infection to your computer. Every time you try to close a warning window, another one appears and it keeps popping up unless you don't close the warning window. My advice is never buy the software from them and the software not just won't work but it may caused your system to crash too. You should either press on Alt-F4 to close your browser directly or press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to open your system's task manager to shut down your browser. By closing the browser, the pop-up problem generally ends at there. If the pop-up problem still remains then you can have a try on this software-Malwarebytes.

Okey, my sharing ends at here today. For more details of how to protect your computer, please click on here. Thanks for reading. (This article adopted and modified from PCWorld: Security Secrets the Bad Guys Don't Want You to Know)

New Sem Coming Soon

Imperceptibly, my semester break is going to end soon. This also means that I need to submit my FYP title after this. However, I would use this few days to enjoy my "Home Sweet Home" life because I'm going to have my study until initial of December 2010 and I will be seldom back to my hometown afterward.

Before starting my new sem, I'm going to set up a new study target for myself and my GPA target is at least 3.33 for this new sem. Hopefully, this target can be achieve by the end of my coming sem. Most of my friends watch World Cup 2010 recently and sometime, I accompany my friends to watch all this match. Most of the World Cup result can be describe in a word of Unexpected. Lots of the World Cup gambler lose their money due to the unexpected World Cup result. However, I do hope those gamblers realize that gambling not a good habit because most of time gambling will bring us to the result of sad rather than happiness.

Apart from that, I just tried to format my laptop today but my laptop always appear BSOD(Blue Screen of Death) once it enter the Window Setup mode. Thus, I failed my formatting again. This also means that I need to send my laptop for warranty again. Hopefully, the fault can be fix as quickly as possible.

Ok, that's all for today. Thanks for reading.

Nice trip!

Hey, guys! Long time not updating my blog. This is my first time of sharing personal expression in my blog. However, this would be a good try for me to share my story to you guys.

Few day ago, I just back from Kampar to my hometown. This trip remains for 4 days and 3 nights and the locations of trip including Cameron Highland and Penang.

For the visit of Cameron Highland, me and my friend go to there to have some picture and enjoy the mother of nature. This visit is quite haste due to the departure time to Cameron Highland was on 11:15am. Thus, the arrival time to the Cameron Highland was around 2:00pm. On the way to the Cameron Highland, we stopped by at the Cameron Highland waterfall and take some photos.

Quite a number of tourist visit this waterfall and some even have some joy at there.

The water is crystal clear and not much polluted by human activities.

Before we continue our visit, we founded a temple then we decided to have some pray at there first.

After that, both of us visit the Rose Valley(玫瑰山谷) at Tringkap. The valley not much change since my first visit on year 2005(if not mistaken).

This is the map of the Rose Valley. This valley still have plenty of rose and other kind of flowers with fruit trees too. Furthermore, it also has a small animal corner which have peacocks, chickens, and turkeys.

After that, we went to have a lunch at Cameron Highland. This is my first time to have KFC at Cameron Highland because most of the food in Cameron Highland were almost the same price as the KFC set. I will more prefer to have fast food than usual food in Cameron Highland because the price of the fast food are almost the same as usual food in Cameron Highland.

After that, we went down to the foothill of Cameron Highland because the time was quite late already. It was around 4pm during that time. On the way to foothill, we went to have some tea at Cameron Bharat Tea Restaurant(I don't know its name is true or not since we don't memorize its name). Lastly ,we went back to Kampar.

For the next day, we went to Penang. This time, our trip partners had become 4 including me and my partner thus the journey was much more fun than the previous journey. We take off at 8:30am from Kampar and we arrive there at around 12:45pm. We directly went to Kek Lok Shi(极乐寺) and visit the Malaysia's biggest Kuan Ying statue. This statue was once been criticize by some stupid blogger. This statue was marvelous and it has been listed as one of the attractive tourism in Penang.

Here are the most famous temple in Penang, Kek Lok Shi.

There are some fresco in the temple and it was quite beautiful. The most interesting part was the ceiling lamp alike as the disco ceiling lamp.

This is the Malaysia's biggest Kuan Ying statue and currently it is undergoing construction. However, we still manage to take some photos of it not from the most close distance. There are 2 ways to visit this statue. One is riding cable car and another one is driving to the uphill of Kek Lok Shi.

After the visit, we went to the hawker stall near Kek Lok Shi to have our lunch and our lunch menu was Penang Laksa. It was fantastic and quite cheap too. Even my friend who don't like to eat seafood also felt not bad of it. After we had our lunch, we went to the Penang Hill. Unfortunately, Penang Hill has been closed due to the renovation project is undergoing.

Hence, we decided to visit our next hot spot which is the Snake Temple. The Snake Temple was quite historical and we still able to see the snake live in the Snake Temple although we don't see a lot of snake at there. May be it was due to the snake been moved into the snake museum at the corner of Snake Temple. Before we leave the Snake Temple, we visit the well beside of the Snake Temple. According to the representative of the well, she said that the well will never dried up no matter how bad the weather are.

This is the main gate of Snake Temple.

The snakes are real and it is still alive. If you guys dare enough to touch the snake, then have a try and it is on your own risk.

Then, we depart to visit the Queensbay Mall and the mall quite huge compare with Seremban mall. Too bad, the mall not so crowded on that day. It might due to the weekday's period and not in the peak time. Afterward, we went to Batu Ferringhi to take some photos and enjoy the beautiful seaside for a moment.

The Batu Ferringhi's beach was quite nice and beautiful compare with the Port Dickson's beach.

Lastly, we went to our last scenic spots to have our lunch at the hawker stall which near to the Gurney Mall.

All these hawker stall are not far from the Gurney Mall and it is situated at the left hand side from the main gate of Gurney Mall. The exact name of the location is Gurney Drive and most of the locals have their meal at there too.

We have our dinner at here and the meal was Char Kuey Teow(炒果条). At last, we leave Penang and back to Kampar on 6:25pm.

Okey, that's all for today. I will keep updating my blog with more interesting stories once I have time. Thanks for reading.
