Still super mad

How do u sleep if your heart is like on fire?!

I am so mad!!!

The house phone rang. I assumed the caller to be her dad, usually that's the case anyway. She insisted it is from some agents. I dun wan to answer, since it's definitely not for me. In the end, she answered and turns out to be some stranger. Ok so I'm wrong, but she dun have to show me a super Dulan face right?! Wa lau eh! I hate that kind of face lor!

Fat but Fit

I may be fat, but I'm still fit. I just completed a physical fitness test this morning, which I thought I'm definitely failing. But against all odd, I passed! haha.. I am Superman! Hell yeahh!

Make your Firefox run a little bit faster

This article is not written by me. It is just a trick that I stumbled onto online, and thought it is really good.


Note: You must have a (preferably fast) broadband connection. If you have dial-up, stop reading, forget it, pipelining isn’t for you.
Also, if you don’t use Firefox, please download it. You won’t regret it:

In normal Microsoft fashion, Internet Explorer doesn’t support pipelining (even IE7)

1. Open a new tab in Firefox (Ctrl+T) and type “about:config” (without the quotes) in your address bar.
2. In the “Filter:” search box, type “network.http” (again, without the quotes.) You don’t have to hit enter.
   • Look for the “network.http.keep-alive” setting and make sure it’s set to “true”. If it’s “false,” double-click that line and it will change to true.
   • On the same page, look for “network.http.version” and make sure it’s set to “1.1″
3. Now clear out the Filter box and type in “pipelining”
   • Look for “network.http.pipelining” Right-click on that line, and click on “toggle” and be sure the value is set to “true” (or double-click to toggle values.)
   • If you’re on a proxy, look for “network.http.proxy.pipelining” Right-click on that line, and click on “toggle” and be sure the value is set to “true”. If you don’t know if you’re on a proxy or not, just set it to “true” anyway. It won’t hurt anything.
   • Lastly, look for “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” Right-click on that line, click on “modify” and set the value to 8. You can set it anywhere between 1 and 8. If you notice your internet is acting weird after this, try decreasing this value.
4. Keep in mind that this may not agree with some web servers, and therefore break the webpage. I have not personally experienced this yet, but this feature is still in testing, and that’s why it’s not set to “true” by default.

There you have it. Ignore the sites telling you to set the value to “30.” Those same pages will also tell you to create a new value called “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and to set that value to “0″. All this does is start displaying the information on the webpage sooner. nglayout.initialpaint.delay does not make your page load faster. In fact, it can make it load slower; especially on slower connections. If you create this value and set it to “0″ you will notice the page beginning to render right away, but it will take longer to finish completely.

Making good use of time

It has been two and half week since the so-called break from work, though I still went back to office till last Tuesday. Nonetheless, it's Wednesday again, so I did have one week break. While officially I do not need to return to office in another two weeks (one more week of break and another week in the Army), technically I only have this week to really enjoy myself. I wish I have the power to stop time.

Should I just totally relax and ignore all work, or do some work now and then till I return? This is always a dilemma for me. I'm more inclined to do the later. Blame myself for not clearing all work before the break, now they are always at the back of my mind. Did some house chores today, nothing much, just made a soup and did the laundry. Will probably have the rest of the day off after this. Hahaha..

Bangkok

Just flew back from Bangkok, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there! Things in Bangkok were really cheap compared to Singapore. Food, transport, clothes, shoes.. No wonder everyone loves Bangkok. Visited the various shopping haven such as Chatuchak, MBK and Platinum Mall. Enjoyed Chatuchak and Platinum Mall the most as they have more men's apparel. Can't find much things to buy in MBK though.

I also had a glimpse of the famed night-life of Bangkok, passing-by the numerous bars in Patpong. That place felt quite sleazy and unsafe, but who am I to judge. An eye opener nonetheless.

Already looking forward to the next Bangkok trip!
