With the blog social widgets gone previously, my blog kinda feel incomplete. Blog list widget is something that I use everyday to check the latest updates from my fellow friends, just from one place. But I suddenly think of an alternative for this. Instead of having this on my normal page for blog entries, let’s make a dedicate page for it. It won’t intefere with the loading time on my blog. You can find it here.

Nice. Google Friend Connect and Feed Feeding Blogroll is back. But one list thing that I’m still cracking my head on. The excerpt of the blog is only shown in the form of tooltip when I hover at the link for the latest entry. Why can’t it shows normally as text?

It’s been 2 and 1/2 week already that my blog is running on WordPress. It was a very hard decision, where I lost all friend connections that I had on previous Blogger blog.

How I’ve been enjoying using widget based template for my Blogger blog before,

and the good news is, WordPress is also supporting widget driven template. I’m just so glad that the template that I’m using previously offers widget capable template.

I tried making my WordPress blog to be having the same features that I had previously. The 2 features of blogger that I like is the Friend Connect widget that allow visitors to Follow our blog, and the Blog List widget that shows the latest updates from the blog that I follow. Google Friend Connect is available to be used on WordPress, and I managed to find a similar plug in that does the same thing as Blogger’s Blog List widget, but the problem is, these 2 widgets really slow down my blog’s loading page tremendously. Sometimes the page just got stuck and I have to refresh the page several time before the whole page is display. And with a heavy heart, I have to make this difficult decision again to deactivate these two widgets.

Now my blog has no connection with the fellow readers. Sigh!!

Was visiting Maxis website earlier just to check my phone bill, only when I noticed that the iPhone 3Gs is opened for booking already.

As I mentioned in my previous entry of iPhone 3GS, I kinda wondering on how Maxis will price this. But before that, lets look again at the price that I have to pay last time when getting iPhone with 24-months contract under iValue 1 plan.

And this is the same plan for iPhone 3Gs. Darn. Just RM100 extra, you get newer faster iPhone with double the storage (32GB). But this is what I expect already, and it always like that for Apple products. So I don’t really feel quite bad about it, but still, RM100 extra for faster large storage iPhone. (Darn again)

Lets just wait a few weeks, I bet there will be another campaign of trading your old iPhone 3G to get the newer iPhone 3GS ;)

This is actually a long lost draft post that I just found from digging my draft folder. Didn’t really know why I have kept it there for quite sometimes.

In the past, I have blog about planting grass for my cats. But the kit given usually is quite small. So I decided to plant grass at larger scale this time. So I get the following garden pot and soil from Carrefour.

This is the compressed soil and seed given in the grass kit that I bought.

First, I need to prepare the pot,

by putting as much as soil in it.

I don’t really want to waste the compressed soil that comes with this. So I get a saucer of water.

This is how the compressed soil looks like.

Once I place that in the water, it expanded twice its previous size.

Not the soil is ready to be used.

So next, I sprinkle the seed on the soil that I prepared earlier in the pot,

and after that I cover the seed with the compressed soil.

And after 1 week, my cats are ready to enjoy the grass ;)

I just finished downloading Full HD 1080p IMAX Coral Reef Adventure (again, courtesy of my beloved friend – Mr. Torrent), and it is really a time for me to enjoy the content on my HDTV.

But it seems that I’m not the only one enjoying this. There’s a silhouette of something else in front of the TV.

Lets turn on the flash on my camera. Oh. It’s Oyen. I don’t blame him. The image of fish on this TV is so realistic, just like looking through the window of aquarium.

Oyen is still fascinated by the fishes dancing around on the TV screen …

… and still, he can’t take off his eyes of the TV screen.

Ebot joins Oyen after that, and the same thing happened to him.

Ebot. That’s not good. No scratching of my HDTV please.
