Open And Win Is Scratch And Win

I was sitting in the eating shop at Bukit Jalil LRT Station when I saw a full colour card and thought it was some sort of advertisement. The front says Extraaa..Ordinary Sales. Maybe because the Hari Raya Aidil Fitri celebrations is getting nearer, shops is conducting sales as usual.

At the back too has the same tagline.

This is what it looks like inside. Special Gift worth RM 4,798. Special Gift that much?

Then only I saw a few Chinese guys, boys in red T shirt and a few girls stopping the public in their path to present this sealed card. It is the same card that is on my table and it was purposely left on the table by someone who are aware of the scam tactic. 

 

 As part of my public service and awareness, I send out a tweet message to remind my friends and whoever who might stumble upon my tweets about the scam. This is the same scratch and win scam in another form.

On My Blackberry - Reload Software:552

I downloaded some Blackberry Apps successfully but all did not work with the error message. So I decided to clear of and recover some space by deleting them. whats the use of having the Apps when it does not work. 

However after I deleted (viigo, I think) my Blackberry ended up with a hang and the message Reload Software:552. I thought it just hangs and I forcefully terminated it by removing the battery. After reinserting the battery, the same message appear on my Blackberry. Now I can't even switch off the phone. I tried to synchronize with Blackberry Desktop Manager on my PC but still unsuccessful. What is code 552 by the way.   

I wonder Blackberry Apps that damaging to your Blackberry?

Mobile Blogging On Wordpress

After all effort failed to register my mobile gadget to Blogger, I switched to Wordpress for my mobile blogging and live blogging. Now I have to learn how to manage Wordpress. It is not quite user friendly as compared to Blogger.

How Can I Mobile Blog?

After reading some blogs that says they post from their mobile, it crossed my mind that I want to go mobile blogging too. With Blackberry in hand I want to make full use of its features or else why own one it you don't stretch it to the limit. 

I browse the internet for mobile blogging applications and the best I could find might be go.blogger (Blog On The Go) since I have been using Blogger all this while. Before I can post anything, I have to register first and registration can be done by MMS, SMS or email. I tried all the three options and this is the reply from blogger.

From: postgateway@blogger.com

Device not registered. To create a blog now, send the word REGISTER in an MMS or email to go@blogger.com. By sending REGISTER you agree to the Blogger TOS

I just don't know how to register my device after all the three options have been used and still unsuccessful. 

Anybody here in Malaysia has been using go blogger to mobile blog? I need your help. 

Tweetering Into Fourth Year

I did not realise that I registered and posted my first tweet at 10.50pm on 11th July 2007. So when the clock strike 12.01 on 12th July 2010, I'll be going into my fourth year on tweeter. When I registered my profile with tweeter, the application was not as popular among internet savvy individuals and/or bloggers. After registering I just left my profile there and as far as I can remember, I get serious tweeting only in early 2009 after reading and hearing other people talk about tweeting. 

Today tweeting has become as popular as blogging and it can be a source of advertising, messaging, babbling and promoting hate etc. Tweeting has become another source of instant information for mobile internet. I am sure most if not all who can access the internet on their mobile phone has tweeter account and tweets.

This Blog Is 5 Years Now

4th May 2006 That's the day this blog started and its her birthday. OMG, I just forgot her birthday and its past two months now. Its already 5 years in existence? It she's human, she will be going to Kindergarten next year and primary school the following year. 

This blog is going at a slow pace and I am keeping this blog in English as a training ground so that my English does not rot with time. I know that my spoken English is deteriorating because of lack of use and at times I found out that I have to pause and think (and translating from Bahasa Malaysia to English) what am I going to say. That's how serious I am losing my oral English.
