Current TV

I got to know current_ through an interview with Laura Ling video. Subsequently, I spent my weekend watching Vanguard channel with series of real live documentary that happens around the globe. I really respect these journalists who would risk their lives to reveal the hidden reality of life.

Another note, I hope that N.Korea knows what peace is.

Beat It

The first time I heard this song was from Fall Out Boy Folie à Deux album. Anoop Desai then sang it in one of the American Idol shows. Now only I found that the original singer for this song is Michael Jackson. It's kinda funny to watch back the music video produced 2 decades ago. No fancy lighting or funky digital art. Just his very own style of vocals and dance move. Although I'm not an aficionado, I gotta salute to the moonwalker. Salute to the King of Pop!

Malaysia: To Dataran Merdeka

Today is Standard Chartered KL Marathon day. Although there is less than one hour for full marathon (42km) to start, I can see the countdown clock at the official website already showing 000 Days 00 Hrs 00 Min 00 Sec. Lol. The starting line for this marathon is located at Dataran Merdeka. Two days ago, I went there to collect my race pack. That was my first time to step foot on Dataran Merdeka although I have been staying in KL for a few years and saw it in TV a hundred times. Shame on me.

Being a first timer, I went there using public transport with the help of maps. I took Rapid KL Lrt to Masjid Jamek station and proceed to dataran merdeka on foot. This was the direction guide provided by Google Maps with the starting point at Masjid Jamek and ending point at dataran merdeka. It's easy. Just walk along Jalan Tun Perak and make a turn into Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.


There is always choice. I search for the same thing using Garmin. The map shows more detailed view with the building logos and roads. I walked to HSBC bank using shortcut and walked along Jalan Medan Pasar until the junction at Lebuh Pasar Besar. Look for Loke Yew building or Agro Bank and walk towards that direction. Cross the road and voila dataran merdeka is there. KL buildings are tall and they can be spotted easily.


All roads lead to dataran merdeka. That's my first experience going there. Finally, a photo of iconic Sultan Abdul Samad building captured using my mobile.


This is my first time running for 10km marathon and I hope I can complete the race. The organiser is good enough to use Rapid KL bus as sweeper and I don't wish to see it. Haha. Good luck to all runners!

Run... Forest.. Run....

P/s: RIP MJ!

Ovi Store on Nokia 5800 XM

With recent launch of Ovi Store, I install Ovi Store client on my Tube for easy access to tonnes of application and widget for my phone. For selected countries, the update is available at Download! folder. Just go to Menu> Download!, then tap on Options> Refresh Content. In my case, the Ovi Store icon is not available other than those Jamster icons. So I get it from http://store.ovi.com/ official website. Browse the page and click on "Download the Ovi Store application" hyperlink.


Before downloading, login to Nokia account is required. Make sure you register an account beforehand. Click on the Download button and the installation file (.sis extension) will be downloaded to your device. Proceed with the installation after that.


After installation is completed, Ovi Store icon will be available in application menu. Just tap on this icon whenever you want to look for applications, games or media files for your phone.


Voila, all the cool stuffs are on your finger tips now.


If you own a Nokia device and haven't browsed through the Ovi Store, it's definitely worth a try!

Kasut Beribu Bintang

My shoes are so worn out that the rubber in front can open so wide like a big crocodile mouth.


I got myself a pair of Converse. It makes me feel little bit younger.


Saya suka Kasut Beribu Bintang saya.

Happy Wesak Day!
