MPH Warehouse Sales


Bookstore warehouse sales is always my favourite place to go. When I noticed the warehouse sales located around my office, the plan of visiting there was running in my mind. I will be excited with books as long as it draw my attention to stay couple of minutes on it reading its sypnosis.

Plan can't bring one go any further without any action taken and I am there the next day after being told of the warehouse sales. The place were congested with crowd and it is hot in temperature. After a brief walk around and scanning I realized almost 95% and above of the sales items are fiction reading materials. Gosh, I am wasting my time here. This is my first reaction as I am x a fiction lover.

I did discovered some interesting sketch books, the pictures are sentimental, natural and imaginative in nature. I like sketch books most probably because I read alot of comics during my childhood.

When I was leaving, I found what I am looking for in a little book rack, Oracle Database 10g Express Edition and The Economic Naturalist. If you are not familiar with databases, I will make a simple analog here to let u know databases abit better.

Database as its name implies it is used to stored data like an excel worksheet with colums, rows and sheets(tables in database). There are variety of database and I will be listing 3 of them here which are Microsoft Access, MySQL and Oracle. In order to let you to differenciate them, I will like to analog Microsoft Access to a sport shoes, MySQL to a Toyota Camry and Oracle to a test drive Mercedes-Benz.

If you are in doubt, it is absolutely x your problem because I am begining my explaination here. Let's say you are traveling a 3km distance to reach your destination. You may choose to run with a comfortable sport shoes, drive with a Toyota Camry or perhaps a test drive Mercedes-Benz.

A sport shoes is affortable for most of the users as long as you have Microsoft Office installed in your pc but it has a storage limitation of 20mb for Microsoft Access 2003. As for me, Toyota Camry is MySQL, it is a freeware anyone can download it free from the web. It is similar to my dad's Toyota Camry. I can drive it for free but when it running low of fuel I need to use my own money to fill in the fluel which is analogous to the available consultancy and support services provided by MySQL. I owned an Oracle Express Edition with is similar to a test drive Mercedes-Benz it has all what commercial Oracle database 10g has but I am x affortable to own it but to have a test drive(express edition).


simplified analog:






Microsoft Access
Sport ShoesAffortable(most of us have Microsoft Office)
MySQL
Toyota CamryFree usage(my dad's car)
Consultancy & support is not free(fuel is not free)
Oracle
Mercedes-BenzExpensive database, not affortable(test drive)

If you are an user which like to get a game started without any reading, here would be a nice place for you to get a big picture what is MouseHunt 2.0 and how to get yourself on track within the shortest time.

As the name implies, MouseHunt 2.0 is a game where the players are given gold and point reward from the king by hunting mouse. You might wondering, what it is so nice with the game which grants a 4.9 rating? Beside gold and point reward, the game developers also giving out cash reward to hunter who successfully caught Leprechaun Mouse and Mobster Mouse through paypal!

If you are playing it solely with the only aim of getting the cash reward. Then you might find it less interesting. One of the interesting part of starting the game is its ability of creating common topic with your friends, colleagues or even hunting pal. Having people sharing the joy and unlucky moment with you will absolutely make big differences.

On the normal circumstances, hunters will check on their traps for mouse or replacing cheese that seem to be stale. If a hunting mate of yours who is hunting in the same location with you sounded a horn, you will be urge to check on the traps. Every subsequent horn has a cool down of 15 minutes before another horn is being sound. A hardworking hunter will be able to check the traps 5 times an hour 4 times through the horns and 1 time through the hourly checking.

There is a virtual world in game, hunters are able to travel and explore new places by the map pieces drop by certain mouse. Variety of trap components and cheese are available in the shops around the virtual world. For those who are x willing to spend plenty of time in a game but hoping for joy it bring, MouseHunt 2.0 is definitely a good choice.

Special Person


Have you ever have a special person in your life so far? Special might have different value on different people. Well for me, Tunku Abdul Rahman is categorized to be a special person. He is our father of independence. No one else can be honor the title except him. This is how I perceived a special person to be.

Some might found her/his special one and some might not. If you had treasured one, feel free to drop a  "God bless!" or perhaps "Thanks God!" comment. No restriction on the comment, its purpose is just to show your appreciation for the happening.

Personally, I am a person with an alignment of neutral good. I like to share, especially good stuffs and here you go "Thanks God". The special person in my life motivated me to provide a better life to myself and my future spouse. I am much more a better person because of her. 



"Nice show, nice mood"


"I feel the same way too"



"Girl, thanks for inviting me for the show. No doubt both of us were tired but I am glad you feel the same way I do."

Vico Mi Sua

Do you know that Milo is chocolate malt powder which is made from malt? Are you wondering it is the malt which beer where made form? Yeap, it is true indeed! If you are looking for a beer supplement go for a cheaper and nutritious chocolate malt drink. 

As the food price grows and the demand for milo in d3ric3's house is decreasing. d3ric3's mom is replacing Milo with Vico which is the same product in nature but different in brand but is cheaper then Milo. 

On Saturday morning, d3ric3 woke up and prepared a cup of Vico drink. A lazy person do it the lazy way, Vico powder with boiled hot water. When d3ric3 get older, life get more complicated. Breakfast is x longer a meal for filling up the empty stomach. Instead it is a meal for maintaining a body weight similar to what some girl did as diet to keep their body weight as well but with different aims. 

Coincidentally, d3ric3 found a bowl of boiled mi sua (rice made noodle) on the dining table as he seldom look for food on the dining table. d3ric3 is once again following the rule of lazy and pour Vico directly into the bowl consists of mi sua, instead of heating the mi sua in the soup prepared in another bowl on the same table.

So this is d3ric3's Saturday breakfast:




d3ric3's remark: Yiaks, guys don't ever and never try this. It is x worth trying! Trust me!

Eagle Eye

If 5 is the max rating value I'm allow to rate for a movie. Eagle Eye will get a 4.5 from me. It is a Die Hard 4 type of movie and I am sure most of us will find it being an unpredictable one. The only part which I am able to foresee is that Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf, main acter in Transformer) is survived after shot by a person (should be a safety guard, if I'm x mistaken) during a chaos in the pentagon, DC.

X expect story telling from me. If you are looking for something different from what we used to watch normally in cinema, you should go for Eagle Eye. Well, I x hope that u find it less interesting after knowing what it is all about from me as this is what happened to me when I watch Dark Knight.

The only thing I could guarantee you is "X REGRET".

joe-e


As of the the topic, d3ric3 is going to intro this little girl to everyone here. d3ric3 know joe-e for bout 4~5 years. She is a junior of d3ric3 during secondary school in Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sri Sentosa.

She came into d3ric3's life when she handed a donation card to d3ric3's pal which he would be known as 20sen. Bonds between joe-e and d3ric3's pals were formed ever since 20sen gave a RM5.00 donation to joe-e for world-vision charity fund. The history of "RM5.00 for a girl friend" was then popularized among us! joe-e, did you realized this? Perhaps you should know this for quite some time.

joe-e is an active and playful person. She was junior journalist for sin chew. Nevertheless, d3ric3 didn't have chance to read any article from her but to see her appearing in group photo published in sin chew magazine.

d3ric3:

"joe-e ... drop me a comment for this post! This is x a please but it is an order because i can predict x one will comment to this particular post except u. "

Opps, d3ric3 should clarify something before submitting this post. "RM5.00 for a girl friend" does x means what it is from the words itself. Indeed it should be "RM5.00 for a contact number" or even more accurately as "RM5.00 as bait" since the contact number were gained with the the co-operation of all our fellow by partitioning memorizing method on the personal info section on the donation card...haha!

"joe-e, i did x means to humiliate you with a value, haha"
