Come this Friday and the days after Friday, I will be filled with three major uncertainties. First, I have no idea where I will be stationed for my job. Second, I know not how long I have to stay put at one place. Third, how much do I earn for living as an engineer?

BUT I am already feeling adventurous. Finally, I am a practicing engineer. In the mean time, as I venture into the working world, at least for the first month, this “Sticky Friday” post will stay sticky to commemorate 09-01-09!

In the mean time, I’ve been very much “unsociable” of late. I kept myself distance from MyBlogLog, Plurk, Entrecard, BlogCatalog, KuchingBloggers.com, BlogMalaysia.com, and many more. It is not that they are not good despite being a good place for people to socialize, but there’re just too many accounts for me. I deleted all of them.

I’d prefer sticking to Facebook and Twitter. So only Facebook and Twitter I shall join. One thing is I can control the privacy level. Good! If I have not already added you, bug me please.

There’s one more uncertainty, when will I be able to blog? It will only be known on this Friday.

PS: Arial looks more honest instead of Helvetica though both are in the sans-serif family. Don’t be surprised with the change of font, I made some minor changes.

PSS: Look at the footer as well, it reads “A young man who loves simplicity but is hit with insufficient memory. This bluebook is my chronicle.”

Good news for aerospace engineering student!

There’s a PhD Scholarship Offers by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore for 2009 admission.

I got this email from jobstreet.com. Hope it benefits whoever wants to take a PhD.

iCalvyn earned my highest praise today. Tell you a secret, I just found the best host and super efficient technical team to spice up my blogging life. Yesternight, I told him my decision to opt out from the domain and sponsorship hosting programme, at the same time going for the paid web hosting service.

Considering paying just RM99.99 per year for the hosting provided by PrivateHoster which iCalvyn recommended me is a lot better than experiencing frequent downtime caused by my ex-host. I super duper hate my previous host but is offset with this new deal.

Troublesome it is when one transfers their domain to a new host. Those database has to be handled carefully. Sometimes the DNS propagation which often takes a long time to see the results of the transfer makes one wonder if the transfer was successful. Being kepochi, I deleted the database and woops - ground zero.

Not really nervous and not really devastated, I thought I have lost all my posts and comments. I thought I have to rebuild this blog just as New Yorkers rebuild their skyline after the 911 aftermath.

I am so thankful that when I told him I lost all my posts, he quickly tried to re-upload the database which he still keep with him and solved the problem when I messed up with the config.php file. Lol. Come to think of it, I am so stoopid.

RM100 maybe a big deal, but I believe my ads will cover the cost eventually. The good news is, I just cashed out RM60 from my ads provider. Gonna get the money soon, next month probably. Can’t celebrate cos this money is to cover my hosting. Please appreciate every moment you are here and every words you spurt out. =)

Not related to this. Today I went to service my good ol Kelisa which has travelled 45000 kilometres and four years with me. Gosh! Change oil filter, change gasket, service brake system and change brake fluid, spark plug, wheel alignment and balancing, lubricant and engine flush for the car engine, and cleaning the fuel injection system cost me hundreds of bucks.

Lucky my parents paid for me, if not I would have to survive with bread and water alone for one whole month. Thanks papa and mama.
