I Won An Ewido???

I was just surfing around the internet, just wasting time. When I spotted a forum with a topic titled “Winners of the CoU Second Anniversary Celebration!”, and I scrolled down and lo and behold mr karlbum is a lucky draw winner!!! Apparently I won a free software courtesy of said forum, but a year ago!!!! A forum that I don’t even remember registering for, so I checked when I registered on that forum, guess what? I registered in 2003!! No wonder I have not a clue what the forum is all about. But as it is, I won a software named Ewido Security Suite Plus, and even that software doesn’t exist anymore, it has been bought over by the Grisoft group and renamed.
Lucky enough to be randomly picked to get a free software, but unlucky enough to get it in Oct 2005, a period of time that I did not have time to check my email due to the fact that it was actually my last few months at maktab and I was very busy with assignments and preparing for finals. Just my luck I guess. C’est la vie Smile

Frustrating Day

Went to Kota Bharu today, with the intention of settling a few matters that was hanging on me. First I wanted to go to the PBSMM (Red Crescent) HQ, I wanted to check the price for my uniform. But the PBSM Shop was closed!!!
Officer’s uniform are usually a bit more expensive, so just wanted to confirm and have one tailored for me. (Yep they have their own tailor Razz) Actually I already have a uniform, but that one was badly made, ill-fitting and according to a superior cut the wrong way. It was made when I was still in maktab and now I needed a new one as my school has just set aside a day where the students can wear uniforms to the school. I’m the head advisor so naturally I should set an example. So I was thinking that I could salvage the shirt from the last uniform and put that to use as a double for the new one. Alas the shop was closed and now I will have to go again another day.
Secondly, I wanted to repair my O2 Mini, the speaker has been giving me troubles, can’t actually hear anything thru it. Wanted to send it off to the shop, but the shop that I went to said that they lacked the capability to fix it. Sheesh, why did u open a handphone repair shop if you can’t fix one Razz And the rejection was done without even asking what was wrong with the phone. If the guy was nice enough I would have given him a printout from the internet that showed how to fix the problem step by step. I would have done it myself if I got the tools.
I guess I’ll try another shop, another day. As today it was already nearing the end of office hours and I just wanted to get out of KB before the rush hour. No point getting stuck in the middle of a jam for nothing. Till my next complaint.

It is that time of year again, time for me to reflect a year added to my life, a year added to my age. What have I achieved this 2006? Truly I can’t say much, except that I have reaped the rewards of my toil in 2005. Might I say that this year I can hold my head up high, because I have partially redeemed my wayward ways of yesteryears.
This year also means that I am truly a civil servant, here to serve the masses. This year, I worked hard, harder than most years in my life. Mostly for my self, for that inner satisfaction. Just so that I know, I can do anything that I will myself to. This year I made a promise to do everything as they should be done, and I’m glad that I have done what I could if not the best of my capabilities.
This year has truly been satisfying. Words will never be enough to explain everything, and some things are meant to never be spoken/written. It is high time that I reward myself for a job well done, but hmmm, it seems I can’t make up my mind. Perhaps I will take it slow, and truly peruse what I should get. A watch would be nice, as I haven’t wore one for a full year now (good excuse for being late). I have been eyeing a certain Casio Protrek PRG-80YT watch for months now. But a handphone would be good too, to replace my ailing O2 Mini, perhaps I will truly get the desirable Dopod D810. But money is always the barrier, between want and need. But is it?
