New Semester of a New Year

October 20, 08 by -FCUK-

3 weeks of class and what have I learnt? That all subjects are 100% exam based, that Digi is used by most of the foreign workers, that free trade and protectionism has their own advantages and disadvantages, that working in a Ice-cream factory is cool, that “birds and bees” stand for sex awareness campaign and many many more.

Ultimate is back in action, with now more people, more practice days, hardcore sessions and pure ultimate laughters and fun with Chong. ACE Society, Action with Compassion and Empathy, is also back, with 200+ members, more than double of the amount of members last year. 2 Clubs that I’m proud to be at, 2 Clubs which hopefully can win awards again.

So what’s changed? What’s happening for the past 2 years? Crazy upgrade of computer labs, more tables for laptops, more signboards to help the uncertain, the busy, busy Club and Society Fair and Saiful is learning how to play DotA.

Now - 19 inch flat screen monitor, 4GB ram, Intel Core 2 Duo, Windows Vista and Office 2007 !!

Nice.

More tables in SA now for students to Ad Hoc for DotA and Counterstrike do homework, have meetings and eat.

What’s behind the doors are now easier to be identified.

2 Great awards last year.

Ultimate Frisbee’s booth.

We don’t really like huckers. But sometimes we do huck (Caleb and John !!).

Now I know how it feels like to be ran over by rain water when a speeding car goes through the puddle. And if you haven’t tried eating at the stairs of the main door of Avenue K, you should try it. Nothing better than a 1901 Hot Dog, on the 19th day of the month, on the stairs and not raining. And yeah, I shaved, again….

Wordpress Version Upgraded

October 03, 08 by -FCUK-

I finally upgraded my Wordpress Version, after using the old one for almost 2 years now. I had to do it manually, but to my surprise it was kind of fast. Luckily everything that I have on my blog is still in tact.

I used this Wordpress Upgrade Manual which is an extended guide that has more steps. The backuping part was the longest, but after that everything was quite easy. If you have to backup your database manually, it is advised to use the Wordpress Backup Database Plugin, created by Skippy. In just a simple few steps, your database will be backup and it will also be easily restored.

Next thing that I want to experiment on is SimpleViewer, which looks very cool. Just need some patience and understanding on the manual to execute the plugins.

Till then, more Frisbee posts to come….
