On 04/02/10, day time, my house got break in by burglar through the window along the corridor. It probably happened in the mid afternoon when my mum went for work. Apparentally she forgot to lock the window and grill after cleaning them. This is a lucky day for that burglar, effortless stealing. Even with my small dog’s barking are not fearful enough to scare him off. Its a painful lesson for my family. I’m still feeling sad and frustated while writing this.
Chineses New Year is around the corner and it is the period of high crime rate even in Singapore. We Singapore are well known for the low crime rate but any careless mistakes you are inviting for trouble. I watch Crime Watch regularly but will never expect it to happen to my family. We are always aware of our surrounding but all you need is one careless mistake to regret it. Be very careful.
Total lost :
2 x old sony ericssion K700i ( black and champian gold )
cash $1500
one swatch watch
one set of new clothing for CNY ( this idiot burglar really bastard )
I was frustated with my mother but I know she don’t feel as well as good. We did not let her know we lost $1500. This could be a blow to her. Most importantly and luckily is that this theft happened when no one is at home. Just be glad that no one is injured. I know I will fight back like the UFC!
Morale of story?
So if your mother, maid or anyone else is doing spring cleaning, make sure they locked up after cleaning!
Have you ever encounter your host crashed and you lost everything in your website? If not, you better be prepared for the worst! I have been using my old host for about 2 years and I can confidently say that the service and support is excellent. However about 3 weeks ago, while I testing my new website ( refer to my Internet business ), I got these error message on my website
I encounter this error for all my websites today.
error code : “Warning: Unknown: open(/tmp/sess_7c21be6a0ba68690ca90e886756b53e1, O_RDWR) failed: Read-only file system (30) in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct () in Unknown on line 0 “
From the host who give his best support
Hi Gerald, Sorry for the delay. I had to wait for the data center to remount the drive so that I can check and restore the db. Turned out that it was corrupted there as well so that’s why the tables did not make it during the transfer. Sorry but those few tables cannot be restored – it’s in the bad section of the drive.
I thought its just another error from the hosting and can be solved by the host easily. Wrong. Fatal error! The data is lost at the corrupted server! The worst of all is that I did not backup my file. My heart sank. I was just about to upload the latest completed files to my website and it happened. You cannot sue/blame/refund your hosts. I have to pay my developer to repair and do some of the missing data. I really appreciate his help and supports.
Lessons learnt :
Backup your files every month!
Choose a reliable host!
After searching and reviews by user, I have decided to use Hostgator. For the price of $9.95 per month, you get hell lots of disk spaces and unlimited domain names. Most importantly is the reliablity and upload time.
Last night I went shopping at IKEA with my brother. Honestly, this is the lst time I went shopping at IKEA with the intention of the buy some samll funitures. I’m so thrilled when I found out the price of the funitures that I wanted. A small table ( for my laptop ) and it cost only SG$17.90! This could cost you more than SG$50 if you get it at the smaller neighbourhood shops! TV bench for SG$119! ( cheapest set ) Book shelf at least SG$69! You can still choose the colors!
SG$17.90 IKEA small table
The price may be cheap but the designs are simple and modern. Of course don’t expect the toughest and durable quailty. The small table top that I’ve bought I actually made of chip wood, hence its light and not as tough. But it still fit my purposes. At this kind of cheap price, I wouldn’t mind if it damaged easily. Just get a new table if its damaged!
Almost everyday from my Live Traffic Feed, I see I got visitors on my blog on LG GM730 compare to samsung jet few month ago even now. Its was until few minutes ago I visited ping.sg where i ping my blog to check the stats. I got a shock.
I got 507 unique readers! So this is how and where i got my traffic from! The highest unique reader I used to have is 248 from this blog I wrote about honda fit 2008 vs swift sport ( sadly blog page deleted ).
Why am I surprised? Because, due to the lack of practice, my English is getting from bad to worse. I like to compare and write my review but in my own LOUSY SINGLISH! Sound not professional but its my personal blog and this is who I am! haha! :X
Maybe this is a unique way of showing who am I?? Who knows I will be a top lousy review writer?
I cannot image how powerful this iphone thingy is. There is so many company even people comparing with iphone. Is iphone the king of the smart phone? Which brand will eventually take over? Maybe nexus one?
I’m sick of my samsung jet and will get my hand on this iphone when my mobile contact ended. Now come this nexus one which most claim that this can be the iphone killer. I did a search at the youtube and view the function, the sliding whether its as smooth as iphone. Seems pretty cool and exciting.
My review on Nexus one with iphone
Nexus one battery can be detactable like normal phone, which mean you can change easily when the battery is damaged.
Nexus one has a expandable memory slot up to 32gig. ( default 4gig )
Only has one dullish color, unlike iphone has a posh shining finishing with 2 color choices
bigger screen than iphone
but read from forum that the battery drain out after playing games for 1 hour
5 mega pixels compare to iphone’s 3mega pixels
I will properly wait for more real users feedback on nexus one.
Watch a detail comparison on nexus one vs iphone. est 18mins
