Busy, busy, busy!

Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I've been busy dabbling with my Eee, installing and un-installing software. Today, I've installed Windows XP after I've tried, the pre-installed Xandros and Ubuntu gutsy.

All of the OS (Operating system) are good. But, finally after I can't get the Eee web cam and wireless to work with Ubuntu I then decided, what the heck, to try installing Win XP next. Well, today, after installing it, I tried playing some videos and music from the Usb. Also tried the files from my Ipod and it work's great too. Even, the webcam works again. I haven't yet tried if the wifi work. That's important as that's one of the reason I decided to buy the Eee. I wanted the ability to bring along the Eee to places and surf the net where I can get wifi.

I actually wanted to use Ubuntu on the Eee and keep it but, after weeks of trying to make the web cam and wifi work, I finally decided to try XP. I'll see if XP is stable enough on the Eee. I've already installed some of the software that I already used on my main pc. I just make sure I installed the basic software that I needed as the Eee only have 4Gb SSD space. One thing good is that Asus has included 3 usb and one SD, SDHC compatible slot on the Eee. So, you can always add more space. I have a couple of unused Usb drive and SD cards I already used to bring along with my Eee.

Using Xandros and Ubuntu, the battery works okay. When I bring it to work and played with it, the battery last till I reach home. I don't know if XP battery management could do that. Each of this OS has their ad and dis-advantage. For me XP only brings familiarity. And of course don't forget the viruses. With Xandros and Ubuntu, I don't really have to worry about that. It was fun and interesting to use them. I've learned a lot about Linux through using them. Let's just see if I'll be finally be keeping the XP as the main OS on the Eee pc.

Anyway, the Eee pc is not the only thing I've been dabbling with. Since, I've got my new Tv and Home theater system, I've tried a lot of stuff on them. For example, my Tv now come with and SD card slot. So, I can always insert an SD card and watch photos on it. My home theater also comes with a single USB slot. With it, I can just insert my USB drive and watch mp4 videos, mp3s and watch jpeg pictures at the same time. So, since I like taking photos and short video clips on my mobile phone, now I can just transfer the files to my usb drive and watch it on Tv with surround sound!

Freaking cool!

I also tried listening to the music on my Eee pc by connecting a two way jack to the home theater and it was nice and loud. So, the Eee pc now becomes my multimedia portal. Also, when I played the old game Doom the sound effects was fantastic!

I'm thinking of buying a cable that I can use to connect my Eee pc to the Tv. I'll go buy it when I'm not lazy.

Next, my Xbox. The Xbox is also a cool multimedia player. Since, it also got a USB port. I now can connect my Ipod and play the songs and watch pictures at the same time on the Tv. A nice way to watch your family photos together with your family.

Of course the games graphics was super fantastic. I tried downloading a couple of demos via the ethernet port on the Xbox to it's Hard drive. It works well and I've already used up most of the space on it. You can actually buy any new games and installed it on the Xbox hard drive but I haven't tried that yet. Not sure if I want to. I prefer buying the disk as I'm afraid that if the hard drive failed or anything there goes my downloaded games!

So, I pretty much busy myself playing with my new toys. Hehe.

Well, my readers. The New Year's coming and here we are again. I think I've already posted the same story last Dec 06. It's like we are going in a circle. Here, we are again at the starting point. Again, here we are at the end of the year and it's time to look back and ponder what we did this year.

So, what resolution did you make last year 06 , for this year 07, did you follow it through?

I know I had an interesting and busy year. So much happened since January earlier in the year. I guess things happened and sometime we have no control over the circumstances.

I already know what I want to do next year. First and foremost, I'm planning my financial budget for 2008. A couple of things or rather renovations I needed to do for my house and of course, a few gadgets I still haven't bought yet. I'm still waiting for the iPhone, although, I don't think I'll be buying it next year. I don't like it that you can't take videos on the iPhone. As, I like taking videos and pictures with my mobile phone. It's easier and quicker without me having to carry around a digital cam. Although, I'm actually thinking of buying one. Not sure when that'll be.

That's about it. Like I've said before, right now, I'm kind of in a semi-retire state. I finished paying my house loan and beside paying the monthly bills, I don't really have any other outstanding debts. Ahhh.. it's great to be out of debt. Life since so carefree. Nowadays, I sometime, even find myself bored as I don't really have any worries to worry about?

I guess I have to find ways to entertain myself...

Lucky for me, I still have the internet and the vast knowledge it holds will keep me busy. I'm always thirsty for the latest news and information on just about everything. It helps keep my brain active. Or, I might find myself sitting on a chair facing the walls everyday.

Keeping a blog is really a great outlet for me to paint my views on life in general. I've always been a thinker. I think about stuff all the time. About life, death, the human nature etc. Now, I can think it out loud and share it to the world. Sweet.

Okay, I know I can always get out and have fun. But, I don't really go out much any more. I'm just too lazy to go out even to a picnic or fishing or whatever. I'm not interested in those stuff. I'll rather laze around on my back watching Tv.

I don't why. It's just that the older I get, the lazier I become?

Anyway, the way I see if you really wants to relax why hassle yourself going through crowded airports and customs. Fighting through queues and squeezing your way in the malls?

I've have always hated going to crowded places. I like to stay in a nice quiet place where there's no other human. Preferably, at the beach but anywhere quiet is HEAVEN!

Okay then, that's about all I've got to say on today's post. I know, it's been a couple of days since my last post. Like, I said. I've been busy and maybe lazy. Well, the New years coming so you can't blame me right?

Next week, will finally be 2008. Here's wishing you all a glorious and profitable New Year and for me too!

Good day, good night, stay healthy, stay happy and see you next year!

WeeeeeeeeeeeeeeAaaaaaaaahhoOoooooooooooooooooooooo !!!

Cheers, peace out.

Good bye 2007!!

A Happy Year end 2007 for me FREE Xbox 360!

Hi yer, everyone!

That's a pic of my nephew, Isyra.

So, guess what? The year coming to an end and I've got a couple of things that I had craved for.

Since last month, Nov & Dec I've been busy shopping for stuff that I had wanted for some time. Mainly, the Asus Eee pc which you can see my nephew playing with on the bus ride home. Cool eh?

I brought it to work almost every day. Just to play around with it and see how robust the Eee pc is. So far, so good. I must say it's really portable and light and most of all fun to play with.


Anyway, yesterday, I went to Funan IT mall to collect my free Xbox 360, which I got because I re-contract with Starhub, my Internet access provider. I thought it will be a synch as I've done it before. But, things get a little rough. First, when I was suppose to alight from the bus at a bus-stop, the driver didn't stop and I had to walk about 1km back to Funan from Suntec!

Then when I reach the 4th floor, of Funan, guess what? There were literally 100s of people waiting before me!

To make matters worse, when I press the queue button I was no. 1937 and the Starhub service staff were only serving at the no.1569. Oh, my God. I had to wait for almost 3hrs (300 people)straight, standing like a nincompoop waiting for my turn.

But, it was well worth it, I tell you. A guy I was talking to, offered to actually help me to cut queue and go with him (his no. 1815) in the pretext that I authorized him to get the Xbox on my behalf.

Hehe, lucky me. Pity the no.2000+ soul!

Imagine, how ecstatic I was when I finally got the Xbox in my hand. I would have jump for joy right there if not for the many people still waiting around me.

Well, 1 down 2 to go. Today, Sunday, my new Panasonic 32 inch 1080p Tv + a Philips Home theatre set was delivered to me. I'm happy I didn't have to queue up again. This time, I just have to wait for the delivery man. And, come they did at around 4pm.

They ask me if I wanted to set it up myself or let them do it for me. I thought that it shouldn't be that hard, since I just have to follow the color code of the wiring.

Well, as you can see from the pictures, it was total chaos!

It was kind of fun to UN-box the stuff though.

The thrill of cutting the scotch tapes, tearing the plastic wrappers etc. Setting it all up almost took me the whole day. But, as I said, it's all worth it. I haven't done this for like eons!

That's why I wanted to get myself a new Tv+Home theatre+Xbox. I don't think I would be buying anything for a while. Well, at least 'till the New Year?

I had some problem setting it all up initially. The Video won't show, there were no sound coming out of the speakers and I can't play the included games with the Xbox I got. I think there's some cable missing too!





By evening, I manage to make it all work. Phew! Even decided to take a bath first before I relax and enjoy watching my nephew playing Forza motorsport on my new Tv. I must say, the graphics look superb!

Or, maybe, it's just my first time watching an Xbox game on an 32" Lcd Tv. No matter, I'm pretty satisfied!
I told my other two nephews on the phone about it and they are already asking me what other games I have.

I'll be getting all the top Xbox games soon. But, the games are pretty expensive, I must say. It's almost $74 for just one simple game!




Heck, I need to work overtime just to get another controller. I guess, you have to spend money just to have the latest hot games.


Hot console need hot games!

Hot rod dude. The sound effects, 3d smooth graphics and game play. That's the order of the day for games nowadays.

It surely beat the old Playstation that I had before it was fried by me.

I just can't wait to buy Halo, Bioshock etc. I haven't like played a first-shooter games like these for some time now. So, this new console are really exciting to me.



Check it out. I took some photos of the Forza Motorsport game.

I think the wide flat screen tv really makes the game looks beautiful.


Right now, though, I just want to relax and enjoy it. I'm done for the year and I've got what I wanted. Next year, will be a different matter and I'm not sure what I'll be getting. I do have some ideas. We'll see.

Well, that's it from me. As it is, it's already 11.35 pm and I'm getting a good well-deserved rest!

My legs are still a little strained by the walking and standing waiting in line yesterday.



Good night and have a Merry Christmas + Happy New Year!

Okay, I know it's a little early but hey, it would be soon right?

Chow!

Yes! My very own Asus Eee pc - Unboxed!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Finally! My very own Asus Eee Pc! Just got it today and been playing with it. Testing out all pre-installed software, games, SD cards etc. Way cool and wayyyYy cuuuuttteeee freaking SMALL laptop! Check out my own video on Youtube!
Maybe, when I'm not lazy I'll put up more clips for now, Click the play button to watch the clips!

Eee pc Reviews + hacks

As I'm interested in the Eee pc and the pre-installed Xandros (strip down version) Linux, I've been reading up on linux and hacks for the Eee. It seems interesting to me and the instructions is pretty simple. Well, most of it anyway.

If you do a search on Google or Yahoo or whatever your favorite search engine is you'll find a whole lot of links. I found a link reviewing the Eee pc which includes a couple of hacks you can do or try. Click the link below to read up >>

http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/eee-pc-review.ars/1

And guess what? Finally, after 2 weeks of waiting, tomorrow I'll be going out to meet my supplier to get my very own Asus Eee pc!

WahooooooooEeeeeee!

I'm so excited. I wish I can go and meet him right now. But, it's already 11 pm at night. So, we decided to meet tomorrow around 12 in the afternoon. I think he thought of us meeting at Sitex but, I'm a little eager to get that Eee and play with it. I've read up on so many ways to hack the system that I'll be spending the whole Sunday meddling with the thing.

First thing first, I'll check if I can surf with my broadband. Next, I'll try if I can find any wifi near my area and try to get connected. I think, I'll be bringing it to work on Monday to try and get connected using the in-built wifi. There's so much I want to do!

It will be great if I can take a few days off from work and stay at home to test the Eee. I can do that, but I won't. Heh. Pretty tempting.

Okay, then. Can't wait for tomorrow. I don't think I can sleep! Too freaking excited!

If all goes well, maybe I'll post some pics or videos or whatever. There's so many Youtube videos demo about the Eee pc. Thought, I'll do something different. I've already got some plan. We'll see.

So, till tomorrow!

How fast 'n easy to surf with Eee pc?

I check up with my supplier about my Eee pc and he confirmed 'again' that I'll get it either tomorrow Friday or on Saturday. Great! In the mean time, check out this cool video.

How fast and easy it is to get set-up and surfing within 6 mins from the time you unboxed your new Asus Eee pc? Click "Play" to find out!

Still waiting for my Asus Eee pc!

Well, it's almost 2 weeks and I still haven't gotten my Eee pc.

Blame it on it's enormous popularity and success. Everywhere it's sold out even before you can say Eee!

Even Amazon are still waiting for it's next shipment around maybe Dec. Right now, already there are a few new colors you can choose from. Beside the main white pearl color, there's also matt black which is even more popular. Now, you can choose either blue, pink or green!

And, I'm still waiting for my first Eee!

My supplier said this week I'll definitely get it but when I press him for an actual date he didn't reply back my message. I still feel a little excited every time the thought of me finally getting my hands on the Eee. I just know, definitely I'll get it come hell or high water!

Last week, I decided to get my mom a new mobile phone using my carrier Starhub account. My contract with them will end next year but I received a promotion letter from them stated that since I'm a Hubber ( I have mobile phone, Internet access and Digital Cable contract with Starhub) now we can upgrade our account every 12 months!

That mean, instead of waiting the normal 2 years before we can re-contract and upgrade our handset, now we can do it every 12 months!

I think that's great news. So, since my mom using my old Sony Ericsson K700i phone, I decided to let her use my account to get a new handset. I chose a Nokia 6300 with 3G capability and free 256mb micro sd card which I fill up with her choice of songs and videos. It's a beautiful black color. At first, I thought of keeping it for myself and gave her my Motorola V3x instead but once I put in her sim card I relented and let her use it. Hey, it's a blessing to make your mom happy!

Okay, okay, I'm a mommy's boy!

Next, I was surfing the starhub site again the other day just browsing around when I saw that they were having a latest promotion that offers FREE Xbox 360 Pro!

Since, my Internet access contract had already expired I decided to take the plunge and re-contract again to get that Free Xbox 360 Pro. So, after filling up the online form etc. I hit checkout and now I'm waiting for their sales consultant to contact me. Well, I'm still waiting. It says in my confirmation email that they will call me the next working day. I applied last Sunday night. So, 3 days had passed and still nothing!

I waited the whole day again today for them to called. And, since they still haven't called me I decided to email their sales contact. I'm hoping for them to contact me back tomorrow. If not then I'll call in their sales no. to ask about it. I was afraid that they did call me and couldn't get through to me. Sometime, my work bring me to the basement carpark and people won't be able to contact me on my mobile. It happens a couple of time. People couldn't get through to me and thought that I gave them the wrong numbers or whatever.

So, I'm hoping that I'll be able to settle all this and get my Eee pc and my new Xbox 360 before the end of the week!

All, in all. Before the year end 2007, I've got myself a new mobile phone, laptop and a console game. Can't wait to play some cool games on them!

Definitely, the year end with a BANG for me!

Of course, I can't say for some others out there. Whose, country are in turmoil. What with war, suicide bombers or natural calamity like hurricane or whatever. That's life. You're either up there or you're down there in hell.

Just have to be happy and thankful with what you have.

Okay, then. Until, my next post. Peace.

England out of European Cup!

Football: Careless Carson leaves McClaren facing the sack
LONDON : As Scott Carson picked the ball out of the net after his horrendous blunder gifted Croatia the lead, Steve McClaren stood ashen-faced on the touchline...
FULL STORY »

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Well, England have only themselves to blame. All that hype for nothing. But, I don't know why, with the players they have, they can't at least get a draw?

I guess tactically, McClaren isn't good enough. At least Sven would have done better with the team.

Bahh.. I won't say much on this matter. Click the link above for full story.

Arggg, why me!

Great, just great!

I was hoping there wasn't going to be any hiccup in this purchase but it did!

Today, my supplier said that the Eee pc stock will arrive late Tue/wed next week!

He was totally sorry about it. So, I told him that since I already waited this long another week or so won't hurt, right?

Argg ..but it did. Well, a bit. I was so hype up that I'm gonna get to play with my very own Eee pc this sat-sun but, this has to happen!

Sigh. I guess I'll just have to wait. The problem is that I see the date almost coincide with SITEX 2007 Singapore. An IT show going on at Suntec 29 Nov - 2 Dec. Maybe, they'll be on sale there. I was planning to go to the show to check out what's new or on offer.

Patience is a virtue or so they say. In my case though, patience is running a bit thin. I didn't know trying to buy a product is so NOT easy!

That just show how popular the Asus Eee pc are. Almost all the online store are out of stock!

Even Amazon having problem keeping up stock. It seems the Eee is a top seller over there.

Well, anyway. I'm sleepy and I'm going to bed early. I'll be waking up at 4am tomorrow as there's an European Soccer qualifier match between England vs Croatia. England needs to win if they want to go to the final. While, Croatia are already through. It's going to be an interesting match to see if England will be able to win the game as it'll then mean they are through to the final.

I just feel that England can win it. They're tough to beat at home ground. And result at the new Wembley stadium had been good the last couple of qualifiers. Of course, there's no Owen or Rooney partnering upfront. And they don't have Terry as a rock defending. Crouch is a good player and have shown he can score goals at International level. With Beckham doing the pin-point cross and lampard, gerard, joe cole giving the support from midfield, there's no reason why England can't win and win big!

On paper, England is a good team and can win this game but Croatia ain't a pushover and although they are already through. They'll be like the Israelis who against all odds beat Russia 2-0 in home soil. The Onus is on England to win it. Although, they only need a draw but they'll be attacking at the Croat to show everyone that England deserves to be in the European Final.

Enough said!

Let's see tomorrow if England will buckle at the pressure or win it with style.

Till then. Good night and enjoy the match wherever you are!

P.S. Singapore team is actually through to the third round of the World Cup qualifier after beating Palestine and Tajikistan. They'll be meeting the seeded giants of Asia like Japan, South Korea, Iran or Australia etc. Wish them all the best and do Singapore proud!

P.P.S You might also want to check up Amazon if you're interested to buy the Eee pc!

Yes! I'll get my very own Eee pc this Fri-Sat !!

Finally!! I'll get my very own Asus Eee pc 701, 4Gb, White pearl, English Linux either this Friday or Saturday!

After surfing the net and joining some forum especially my favorite at eeeuser.com , I finally manage to get a hold of someone that would order for me via Taiwan. And he promises that I'll get it by this Friday evening or Saturday morning. I'll be posting about it when I got it in my hand! Hurray for me!

Okay, I know, I sound like a geek. But, I haven't get excited about anything for awhile since I bought my first 80Gb iPod. So, now, I've got a new toy to play with. I plan to carry it around to work or when visiting my dad in Johor (a state in Malaysia).

What, I'm truly excited to test is the wifi that's built in. If I could surf at Starbuck or anywhere that's got free wifi connection then it'll be great!

Now, I can surf anytime and anywhere!

The Eee pc is pretty small and pretty slick. Also, it's affordable. I'll maybe give it to my nephews to play with once I'm tired of it or want to get an 8gb black model version. We'll see. For now though, I'm just happy to be getting my hand on it. Can't wait!

There's so much I'm planning to do with it. I want to test it's video, music, games, software capabilities and so much more. I have watch a lot of demo on Youtube etc. So, I'm just curious how it works. I'm also curious if my SD card will work with it. I certainly have videos and music on it. I use my SD card on my old Treo 600. I wonder if it'll work. Well, I'll soon be able to find out if it's compatible.

Okay, then. Counting down days to getting my Eee!

4 more days...

It's a nice Sunday morning

I wake up this morning, feeling kind of happy and chirpy. My nephews are here and it's a joy to see them running around, making noises, watching my Tv and playing Playstation game on my other pc. And then, I fire-up my Firefox and what is the first thing that I see in the News?

Look below >>

• UN panel gives dire warming forecast
• Bangladeshi cyclone kills at least 1,723
• Abuse risk seen worse as families change
• Parents ordered to court for kids' shots
• Palestinians demand halt to Israeli settlement expansion
• Study: Groundwater lost to rising seas greater than thought

Now, just when I thought, that life is bliss. Well, yeah. On my part of the world that is. There's always something wrong happening at the other end of the world isn't it?

I think that's the cycle of life. It's a balance. On every each person that is happy right now? There will be someone else out there that's suffering at this very instance. They will be saying to themselves, "Life suck". Whereas, we are having it good. So, just remember, when you're happy, there are others out there that's having it tough. Of course, if you're feeling sad right now, there'll be others that's feeling preeeetty good!

What I'm trying to say is that, life isn't that simple. That, there's something deeper then what you perceive in life. All you have to do is look around. All you have to do is like, shut up and listen!

You can hear, a child crying, a man shout of joy, a woman last breath.

There is a promise land that promises equality.

Equality of rights. Equality of wealth and fortune. Equality in looks. Equality in gender. Equality, equality, equality!

Don't look into this world as the beginning and the end. Look at this world as a place for you to live and learn. That, this world is not the end. That this world is only a mirage. There's a ship waiting for you and others that believe and want to believe. But, there's a difference. Some people doesn't just believe but they know. They see things as what they are and not what seems to be. They didn't just use their eyes to see. But, they see things with their heart, their ears, their hands, and most important of all, their brains.

It might be a little hard to comprehend but it's actually easy. Everything can be seen right in front of your eyes. You just can see it!

Look, further and you'll find it.

Right. Think about it. For now though, I'm going Net-surfing. Woohooo!

P.S. Nothing lust forever...no it's not a typo

Play Playstation games on your pc?

Hurray!

Yesterday night, out of curiosity, I Google-d "play playstation game on your pc". There was a couple of links but I decided to check out WiKiAnswers. After reading for a while, I decided to try it out. I've a whole lot of old playstation games that can't be played on my playstation anymore (I fried it looong time ago).

I heard or read about an emulator that you can use on a pc that let you play old console games but, I didn't thought it could be this easy.

So, just for the heck of it, I followed the instructions on this WiKiAnswers. Download, a couple of software. Install, test and configurate. Then hoping for the best, I pop in a Final Doom playstation CD and voila, it works!

I was so excited to try out all the other games that I didn't sleep untill 2 a.m. yesterday!

The graphics isn't that fast or good as my playstation console but maybe, I'm using an old Pentium 3 pc. I think, if you have a P4 or the new pc or laptop version, it would certainly fly!

I think it's great that I can play my old favorite playstation games again. If I had knew, it would be this easy, I would have done it long ago. Lucky, I didn't have the heart to throw all the games out as I was thinking of maybe buy a re-used console. My nephews keep asking me to try out the old console and I have to keep repeating it to them that it was fried!

Well, I called one of my nephew just now and he sound pretty excited when I told him that he can now play the games on this pc.

I'm already planning to try the emulator on the Eee pc once I get my hand on it. But, I'll have to use the Linux version. With the spec on the Eee pc at 900mhz I think it would work great. We'll see then. If it does, then, I'll post some pictures here. Now, I can use my Eee pc for games too!

Alright then, I still have a lot of games to try out on this emulator. Some, of it load and play pretty slow, so I'm just putting aside the good one to play later.

If you have some old playstation games and your console went kaput or you want to play it on your pc then you might want to try this out. You can visit WiKiAnswers to read up for more info and instructions. Good luck!

Playstation Ruleeeezzz !!

Eeeuser.com - Forum

Okay, okay. I know, I've been posting a lot about Asus Eee pc. It's just my latest fetish!

And, also, I haven't yet got my hand on it. It's like waiting for the 'durian' to drop. You wait and you wait and it's like taking forever to drop!

But, when it drop and you smell the fruit and eat it, you'll be like "whoaaa.. heaven!"

That's what I'm feeling right now. I've been going here and there hoping and wishing that somehow, I could get my hand on it. Try it and, after I'm fully satisfied? Buy it of course!

Alas that has to wait. Although, right now, buyer in the U.S. can go to Buy.com, Mwave.com

So, while waiting for my chance to purchase it, I've been surfing around and researching all sites that have news or say about it. I found a site that also have a forum where you can talk about Eee and more eeeeee..

Pretty interesting stuff or read. Check it out. The site URL is at >>

http://eeeuser.com

They talk about games installed, video reviews, pictures or just bitch about the small screen, the speakers and the 4gb SSD.

Join in the fun!

Good night.. me go sleep.

Youtube video reviews of Asus Eee Pc

This is a great video review with nice music background. Enjoy!



More Asus Eee Pc video reviews here!

How would you change Asus' Eee Pc?

That's the question ask on Engadget.com forum.

Currently, there are 161 comments on it including mine!

After reading up on all the comments, I've come to the conclusion that I preferred that the product specs stay as it is. Why change, a good simple product that's meant for simple surfing, simple games, free office words and spreadsheets?

I mean, the main reason I like the Asus Eee pc is that it's affordable and the specs ain't that bad with that price. Of course, I would preferred it much cheaper and more memory but I think, the current form is already good enough for simple usage. My main priority is that I can use it to surf the Net on-the-go. All the pre-installed OS (linux), applications and games is a bonus.

Anyway, yesterday night, I check up at Newegg.com and it was on sale. I thought, that's good news as maybe, the product will arrive in Singapore soon. But, earlier in the day I check again and the Eee is already out of stock!

The next stock will be on the 19th of Nov. It sold out in a couple of hours, or did my eyes fooled me?

It was almost midnight, and I was already kind of sleepy. Heh, I could be dreaming.

The Asus Eee pc is such a hot products right now. There's news that a government body bought a 100,000 units. Maybe, it's for their school. The Eee is good for kids in school at any levels. Even, teachers are interested in the products as it's light and easy to carry around to work with. I think, it's good compared with the OLPC and Intel Classmates.

That's my opinion anyway. The main thing is that it's cheap and affordable and with specs that's just right.

I've seen some other ultra portable laptop and although, some of it is small, good looking and powerful. But, they are so damn expensive!

Most of the price hovers around the $1000 marks. While the Eee cost around $299-399 !

You can check up at Newegg.com for more info or to see if they have stocks. You'll have to be fast or it'll be sold out soon!

I read somewhere that you can also check up at Bestbuy.com and also at Walmart. Mostly, on US sites.

I can't wait for the next stocks to reach Singapore again. As, I didn't know about it till it was sold out!

Anyway, got to go. My favorite soccer team is playing "Live" right now. Wanna, watch it.

Have a great Sunday!

Ubuntu me

Ubuntu Me!

Around 2 weeks ago, I posted about installing and trying out Linux Ubuntu on my old laptop. I still can't freaking install on it. I guess the laptop was pretty fuck up in the first place. I've been trying to install Ubuntu on it for a couple of days and finally gave up. But today, I read about Ubuntu on Digital Life Singapore and realize that I can actually test Ubuntu without installing it on my main pc.


All this time, I thought you need to install it before you can use it. Anyway, the procedure is that after downloading and imaging the Ubuntu.iso on a cd, you can just start your pc normally with the cd inside. Just select "Start or Install Ubuntu" and it will log into a Ubuntu environment. You can then test it out like what I'm doing right now. By the way the screen shot you're seeing is taken using the pre-installed Take Screenshot application.

You can test out the videos, music, applications, play the pre-installed games or do some surfing whatever. But, since you haven't yet install it, and just running it from the cd, the applications might be a bit slow. It's all about testing the Ubuntu OS before you make the plunge.


If you have another good old pc or laptop lying around doing nothing, you can try installing on it. Make sure it's still in good shape. You can also opt to install on your second hard drive if you have one already.


Once, you're finished you can just reboot your pc without the CD inside and you're back to Windows!

So try it out!

Here's the link again for instructions and download:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

You can also scroll down below to read up on my past post about installing Ubuntu.

Okay then, I'm off doing more testing. Enjoy!

Eee Pc - Ultra cheap mobile laptop

It's been a couple of days and I've been checking out this totally affordable Eee Pc for some time now. I've read about it in Cnet and Asia Cnet and the more I read about it, the more I want it!

Here's a link to one of the article and forum on it at Engadget.com

A lot of good reviews so far. It's not like a powerful laptop with all the bell's and whistles but for simple surfing and editing it's pretty good. Best of all it's cheap!

That's why I'm interested to buy it. It'll be great to bring it to work or just for a second laptop at home. It's also great for your kids to play or school work or whatever.

Here's a link to Cnet.com review also with video included.

I think it's already being sold in Singapore. I'll be checking it out soon. Since, it doesn't cost much I can't wait to buy and play with it. Great!

That's it for today. It's already sunday evening and it's going to be Monday. Arggg!

Got to go. Chow!

Discover tidbits about the world everyday

Everyday, when I open up my Firefox browser it will go straight to Yahoo.com main site. On the main site I like to quickly scan up on interesting stories happening around the world. I especially like reading up on the latest science fact. For example, today I read up three interesting stories about black hole, ancient tree stumps and rare amphibians.

It might doesn't sound much but a little tidbits on what's happening around the world will broaden up your horizon. When we think we know everything then something new is being discovered. Just to show you that's God knowledge isn't limited. Even if you take a lifetime to learn or be an expert on something, you've only scratch the surface.

There's more to life then what you see around you right now. There's more to it. If only you open up your eyes and also listen.

Here's the links to the article if you're interested >>

Good day!

Lawyer Duck Hunting

I subscribe to Askmen.com Newsletter. Here's the Joke for the day. There's a moral to the story. Read up!

--------------------------------

Lawyer Duck Hunting

A big-city lawyer went duck hunting in rural Tennessee. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of the fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing.

The lawyer responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, and now I'm going in to retrieve it."

The old farmer replied, "This is my property, and you are not coming over here."

The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in Indiana and if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own."

The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we do things in Tennessee. We settle small disagreements like this with the Tennessee Three-Kick Rule."

The lawyer asked, "What is the Tennessee Three-Kick Rule?"

The farmer replied, "Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up."

The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom.

The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the city fella. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick nearly wiped the man's nose off his face. The barrister was flat on his belly when the farmer's third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to give up. The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said,

"Okay you old coot, now it's my turn."

The old farmer smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."

-------------------------------

The moral of the story in short? Don't be a stupid stuck up ass !!

Haha! Hee Haww Hee Hawww Hee Hawww !

Rob Bennett's Best of Hocomania

Apparently, when I posted a link to Rob Bennett PassionSaving.com I didn't know that I was in a middle of an Internet Bashing war on Rob.

Add to that this group of people actually did a search on me and posted all my website links that I was into years ago. They even posted a picture of me on their forum? Now, that's funny and silly. This people also blatantly without proof state that Rob paid me to post about his website whereas I only remembered his site when I read an article on Yahoo! Answers the other day. That's why I re-posted it on my blog. Where were they when I posted it for the first time a couple of years ago?

Just goes to show what kind of people they are. I'm really amused with this kind of child stupidity.

This people really think that I cared what they thought of me. I don't even know them and just because I post a link to Rob's website they think that I'm paid to do that. I wish so actually? Haha!

Hey, Rob. I'll prefer a copy of your book though? Heh heh. Make it a couple will be good as I wish to present it as a gifts to some of my friends.

Anyway, although I should feel a little angry about what they posted on their forum, in the end they only help me to promote my old stuff. I hope they do more search and post more about me, good or bad so that my internet presence would be felt all over the world. Hurray!

Hey, who knows I might be invited to the U.S. for a show on Jay Leno?

I'm a bit shy though to be on T.V. but hey if it pays, why not right?

People get popular just about for any reason nowadays. So, maybe, by their posting about me (more pleaseeeee!) I might actually get well known!

Talking about FREE promotion!

Remember my name. It's Mohammad Fauzi Taib. Just do a search on Google, Yahoo, AOL or whatever search engine there is. You will fine so much info on me. I've been promoting myself for years all over the Internet. Now, actually it's a little bit easy to visit this blog. Just type "mohammadfauzitaib.com" on your browser and you'll be directed to this blog.

Thanks, guys. You're the best!

Well, that's what I intended in the first place when I joined the Internet marketing. It's not easy to be notice on the Internet. There are relatively milliooooooonnn of websites and blogs out there. You've got to be different and unique. Of course, if you're willing to pay you can use Google Adsense. But, be prepared to pay for that service. If you're lucky enough, you'll get mention on people's website or forum or whatever. Nowadays, there's a whole lot of ways to promote yourself or business online.

Well, now that these people are helping me to promote my blog you'll expect a good number of traffics. So, for a minimum of 5 bucks I'll post about your blog, products or service via my blog. Remember, sometime even a simple link will help you to get a good amount of traffic.

Okay, some people may come for the wrong reason but maybe a percentage will come with good intentions. That's why a mention of your name, website, products or whatever even if it's a bad comment is good. An internet presence is an all important expect of the website promotion game.

Right, enough said. You be the judge. There's always two sides to a coin. Which would you prefer to believe?

I meet this kind of people all my life. They're like an ass hee hawing making so much noise but they don't realize they're just making stupid noises. And making themselves look stupid at that. *shrugs*, Who cares right?

All you can do is just ignore those noises and do your thing.

I'm actually feeling excited and have told some of my friends about this. They'll be like wow, people are talking about me on the internet. Heh, feeling kind of proud. Haha! Stupid fuck.

I guess that's it for today. If you come to my blog via these website, then welcome.

My blog is personal and I talk about a whole lot of stuff that I felt like posting. I might be repeating myself but if you're looking for something interesting and new and sometime out of the world experience then welcome to my very own Twilight Zone.

Ha! Be prepared for thought provoking opinions that you won't read elsewhere.

Good day and have a great weekend!

P.S. If you don't like my blog then fuck off!
That's what it's all about baby..

Passion Saving

I have posted this link before but, after reading a question and some answers from Yahoo! Answers, I visited my favorite site on savings and retire early and decided to post this link again.

If you're interested to learn how to save enough money to retire early (on any income level) then check out this site below that I'm recommending >>

http://www.passionsaving.com/index.html

Here's the link to Yahoo! Answers.

Didn't know that there are people out there that have a lot of tips of their own too!

I love reading through the articles and little tidbits on saving. The best part I learn is that saving doesn't have to be boring or painful!

It's about passion and passion in savings is something new even for me!

I didn't even know you can have passions to save money for your old age?

Then again, I didn't know you can save enough to retire young either. So, this site is pretty interesting and can really open up your mind about saving.

Saving doesn't have to be a chore. It can be a wonderful feeling (once you see your money pit growing and growing) and who says you can't have fun saving money?

Of course, it doesn't have to get to a point where you become a scrooge but to have a passion for saving is at a whole different level.

Also, just because you're saving doesn't mean you have to stop having fun or stop buying stuff you like. My view is that, I can still save and still spend on things I like anytime or anywhere. I can go off for a holiday anytime I wish or having fun doesn't mean you have to spend money!

Just think about it,.. now that you have save a good amount of money you can spend but still have back-up money just in case you really need it. You know, things can get bad and when the time comes that you need to use it you know you're covered and safe. It's about saving enough for a rainy day. You never know right?

So, saving IS important. But, like I said. It doesn't have to be a chore or a painful experience. You can make it a whole lot of 'fund' to do. You can become passionate about saving but it doesn't make you into a scrooge. Spend yes, but save also yes!

Once again, visit the site and read up. You'll soon discover the wonderful world of saving!

http://www.passionsaving.com/index.html

Don't forget to recommend it to your friends!

Good night and have fun saving money!

Ubuntu 7.10

Today, out of boredness I visited Zdnet.com and chance upon an article about Ubuntu 7.10 - Installation walk-through.

I was intrigue by the article and I have actually thought of installing this linux O.S. that I have been reading up on. Only that, I was afraid I would f**k up my system and had to re-install windows system all over again.

Today, though, I don't know why but maybe I'm just too f**^%**&g bored that I decided to try installing it on this pc. Later though, after downloading the massive 700mb .iso (cd format) files and burning it to a rewritable CD I decided against it. No way am I going to f**k my system up again after the chaos that a virus did.

I have an old laptop that an not currently using so I thought might as well I tried installing Ubuntu 7.10 on it. If it crap out the laptop at least it's not my main pc.

Well, anyway. Right now, I'm already installing Ubuntu on the laptop and so far it's doing something. The laptop is already kind of spoil and it's reading all this error message on screen which I don't understand. But, as I say, it's doing something and I hope it will in the end install the O.S.

I've been wanting to try out installing Linux open source for so long and finally I'm doing it. It's a new thing for me to do. I've been actually thinking of buying either an Apple Mac or a new Pc for some time now. I'm interested to try out Apple new Leopard O.S. and also Microsoft Vista. But, I'm just torn between both of them. If I have the money I would have buy both just to try out their new O.S.

Maybe, that's why I'm trying Ubuntu. Since, I can't have both might as well I try Ubuntu since it's FREE!

But, be prepared to fried your system out. It's advisable that you try installing it on an unused pc or laptop. In that way, your main system will still be okay!

If you're interested to try it out, you might want to read this article at zdnet. Here's the link below:

http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=869

Here's also the direct link to Ubuntu.com

Here's a link to the download page >>
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

You have a couple of choices. You can download it from the various mirror sites. You should choose the closest location so that you will be able to download it fast. At first, I tried downloading it from a Thailand site but I saw that it was too slow and could take a whole night but when I cancel the download and instead choose a mirror site from a Taiwan University it only took 1-2 hrs top.

Remember the file is 700mb!

If you're afraid to download that kind of massive file you can either buy a CD/DVD or request a Free CD. It's all up to your preference.

If you prefer to download it then you need to burn it to a cd. It's preferred that you use this software to do just that. I tried it and followed the instruction and it works fine.

Here's the link >>

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto

When you download the Ubuntu file it's in Iso format. So you need to burn it to a cd and then reboot with the cd. Just like installing windows. If you already know this then it's fine. If you're a total beginner to using a computer then I hope you're not trying this at home!

Just click the link above and follow the instructions!

If you're stuck please read the instructions and online manual carefully. If I can do it and follow the easy steps then I think you can too. Of course, I'm not a beginner and mostly I know my way around but I think it should be easy enough for someone who has used a pc for a year or two.

Anyway, it's not as if you need to be a computer science expert to install Ubuntu. Just download it, burn it to a cd and reboot your system with the cd in it. And just follow the instruction and you should be okay. I hope.

Well, it's still installing right now and because my laptop is an old laptop there's a lot of error message. I hope it's going to be okay soon so that I can play with it tomorrow when I get back from work!

It's going to be fun this couple of weeks.

Got to go for now and if you're trying it, good luck!

Go to the Zdnet article and read up before you decide to plunge!

Good night!

Highway to Heaven..

A good friend of my father died earlier today. His body has been brought back to Malacca in Malaysia from Johor to be buried next to his wife who died last year. I just know in my heart that both of them will be together again in heaven.

I'm feeling a little sad, also because I know he's a good bud of my father since like forever. I knew him since I was a little boy and although I'm not as close but I know my father will definitely feel sad as he'll be really lonely. What do you do when you lose your best buddy for life?

My father is a divorce and now living alone in Johor while I'm living across the causeway in Singapore. As to confirm what I already know, he called me earlier telling me about how he'll have a feeling of emptiness and lonely. Heck, what can we do in life but to move on.

Frankly, I think about death almost all the time. This past few years, people I know around me died. I think it's come to a point in my life where I'll be surrounded by death of people close to me.

I'm not getting any younger and people don't live forever. I have always hope that I died earlier then the others. It will be a load off my mind. I don't have to think about the past, their past. Good or bad. I just want it all to end with me. Of course, you can't choose your death date. When it's time to go, it's time to go. You could be a baby, a young teen or an old geezer but when your time is up then your soul will be pulled away from your shell.

Death is kind of sad but if you knew where you'll be going won't it actually be a happy occasion?

People are emotional I guess. We can't help but feeling sad. Like what I'm feeling right now.

Heck, when I just started to pick myself up from all the trouble that I have been going through this couple of months.

I guess that's life. And, as much as we think we are having it hard we have to remember that somewhere out there, others are having it worse. We just have to pick ourselves up and keep moving. Keep pushing. It's ain't over 'till the FAT lady sings!

I have to keep myself strong and keep moving..

At this point, I'm just glad that there's a better life after this.

Good night and Peace to all.

Keep the faith.

May ALLAH bless their soul into heaven, Al-Fateha.

There's no end to the Israel vs Palestine crap

Rice plays down chance of breakthrough on Mideast trip
TEL AVIV: US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice began her latest Middle East tour on Sunday warning that she did not expect a major peace breakthrough ahead of a US-sponsored meeting next month...
FULL STORY »

-------- - - - - - - -- --

Geez, you think!?

You know, for as along as I've lived and maybe beyond. I don't think there's ever going to be any resolves to the middle east conflicts. It's obvious why. The Israel and Palestine both won't give up the land that 'belong' to them. Added to that the religious fanatical of both sides and you get a whole lot of fires and time-bomb waiting to explode into an enormous nuclear mushroom.

Maybe, that's a great idea. Just nuclearised the whole place and let them start anew. Just like reformatting my hard drive.

No Palestinian land or Israelis land. Pure and simple. But, I think, no matter what they will still fight each other. It's just in their genes. There ain't going to be any peace in that accursed land.

People just keep fighting for it. Even if they have to fight for generations. Destroying the world at the process. Just think about it. How long has people been fighting for that land?

Millions have been killed. River of blood flowing incessantly. Nobody care, about who dies. In the end they just kill for the fun of it.

It's really up to this two groups to try to come into terms. But, again. I must stress as far as my knowledge it won't happen. Maybe, one day. But, not now. I don't know if it's going to be in my lifetime or our children lifetime or their children lifetime.

There will come a time when it will end but, you'll have to wait and see. It's gonna happen alright. The wheel is in motion.

There will be the ultimate war and then it will end and there will be lasting peace.

But, the only ever-lasting peace you get is in heaven.

Pray you'll be in it..

Good night!

Just hoping I'll be able to wake up tomorrow. You never know when it's going to end.

Selamat Hari Raya!

Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslims in Singapore and all over the world!

Picture above taken of my sister's family.

Selamat Hari Raya 'Eid Fitri!

Yeass!

A couple hours more and it will be the end of Ramadan. I will have completed my month long fasting for the year. Then, Muslims all over the world will celebrate 'Eid Fitri tonight and tomorrow..

Wow! I manage to fast (no eating and drinking) from dawn to dusk without fail and I'm really satisfied that I manage to complete it without much trouble. I can't say that it's much tougher then the Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan and even Palestine. I can't even imagine how much they're going through right now with the war and all that sufferings. I should be grateful.

I should be thankful that as a Muslim in Singapore we can fast without much trouble. In fact the last two years had been quite easy for me. A couple of years before that, I always had to go back for my in-camp training. I was a soldier in the SAF (Singapore Armed Forces). Now that I had ROD (Run-out-of-date) or finish my tour of duty, I'm free from their shackled!

I can freaking do whatever I like!

Anyway, just would like to wish Muslims all over the world a Happy 'Eid Fitri Mubarak!

Be safe always ..peace to all!

Re-building my house

NO, I don't mean building a house literally. But, reformatting and rebuilding my system up again. With all the patches online. It's going to take me a couple of weeks to set-up everything back to where it was. Albeit, with some changes.

As, I've posted before, my pc have been infested with malware virus that I can't seem to get rid of. I tried scanning, downloading all the anti-virus software out there but it just won't f***ing disappear!

Finally, I've decided to reformat my whole drive today. Before, anything happen I had already back up my music and some important files. But, I know some of it I can download again online. The thing is, it also mean that some of the program I am using currently is gone!

For example, my browser bookmarks has all gone and although I had actually bookmark it safe at http://del.icio.us it's still kind of troublesome and I'm trying to find out how I can transfer it back to my browser bookmark. But, I guess at least all my bookmark can be access again online. Just goes to show how important del.icio.us is to me.

After reformatting my drive the first thing I did was to go to http://www.download.com and find a couple of free antivirus, malware and firewall to keep my pc secure again.

I decided to try other company beside the one I had used before since, they didn't protect me in the first place. If you're interested you can check out some of the software I found and am using below.

Here's some of the site or software I'm currently using >>
Note: Links will bring you directly to the download page. Product info
can be read on the page. All you have to do is click the "download" link!

Firewall :
Comodo Firewall Pro

Antivirus Software:
ThreatFire Free Edition

Antivirus Software:
Avast Home Edition

These are what I'm currently using right now. And best of all it's Free. Of course, if you want better protection you can opt to upgrade to a paid version.

By the way you can go to http://www.download.com and search for more software. There are Free and also paid version. I highly recommend you to visit it. Rather then wasting your time searching the whole of the Internet.

Another, crap that I had to put up with is that now, I have to re-install iTune and apparently, I have to download and sync everything all over again especially my favorite video podcast. But, iTune didn't recognize my pc and it actually ask me if I wanted to erase my ipod as in reformatting my ipod all over again!

Yeah, right. Would I want to erase almost 30gb of music and movies on my ipod !!!??

Why can't they just act and sync with the freaking ipod without asking me stupid question!

Only with Apple product would you have to put up with all this security thingy that's actually making it hard for the mere mortal. I have always thought that Apple product are only for the exclusive. I actually advice my friend and warning him before he decided to buy an ipod to beware that what he has to go through just to put music inside his ipod if he decide to buy it.

My advice to him is to get other type of Mp3 players that's not too cumbersome to transfer music like the ipod is.

Argg.. my life seems to be in chaos because of this virus. So, finally I hope that I can now start surfing and doing my work online again without anymore trouble.

Got to get back to where it was before!

I guess that's all for my ranting today. It's already almost 12 am midnight and I'm going to take a good nice sleep before starting my online work again starting tomorrow morning!

Take care and have a great Sunday!

Oh, yeah by the way. Another week and it's going to be 'Eidul Fitri!

So Happy Eid to all muslims all over the world. May peace be upon you!

Life is a jihad itself..

Homeland Stupidity: Security policies that put..

Good day!

Towards Understanding secret of the Prophetic Kingdom

You know, I surf and do research via the Internet and sometime I come across websites or book on sales branding Islam as a dangerous occult, terrorist organization or what have you. If that were true, I would have been hiding somewhere training myself or planning suicide bombing. As, I'm a muslim, people would think I'm that. But, the reality is, I'm not. I'm just a typical guy, you'll meet and talk on the street.

I go see a movie, I go to starbuck, KFC or any other normal thing that others do. So, why are there still people out there still insist that Islam is a terrorist organization if there's 'normal' people like me in it?

I have to admit that, it's not surprising as in this world, you choose which side you want to be in. You can be in the camp of thoughts that think Islam is a dangerous religion but there will be another camp on the other side that think it isn't. So, which camp are you from?

(Note: If someone accuse you of something that you didn't do wouldn't you be angry yourself?)

Or maybe, you just don't know or don't care!

For me though, I'm not really interested in what you think what Islam is. There are some people out there that only have one view of Islam. It doesn't matter though. It's their problem and sometime you can't force people to believe in your view of things. We think what we want.

Anyway, life is simple if you keep it simple. That's my motto.

The world though, or life might not be so simple as you might want to think. There's so many secrets to life that if you dig deep enough you might find that it isn't so.

For example, some scientist wish to prove that God doesn't exist with their research and theory but what they only prove most of the time is that it's the other way round!

As if God doesn't know that some men would try to do that. Of course, for everything you do God has already prepared an answer for you to find. The irony thing is you are in a way helping God to prove that He actually exist instead!

See, how wise God is. It's like playing chess with God. The only problem is you'll never ever win! For every move you make or plan God already has the answer. And no matter what you do or try to do you'll always end up being checkmate! Duh!

Most of the time, man doesn't realize this. Just because God doesn't show himself doesn't mean He doesn't exist. There's a lot of ways you can know that God exist. In fact if you keep looking, keep studying, keep doing research you'll find Him. You will, if you look hard enough. Just by looking at yourself in the mirror you will see a miracle. You will realize that you're a miracle from a speck of sperm, you've grown to become a man or a woman. And then you study, work, get married and have children. The cycle continues. If that isn't a miracle then I'm not sure if you appreciate being born a human rather then an animal. Animal live by instinct but men live with a conscience. We can differentiate right from wrong. We can think. We have free will. We can choose. We can choose to believe if God exist. Do you want to forsake what God has given you?

See, how God has given you so much. But, to turn your back on Him. Then you'll only have yourself to blame. Stop pushing the blame on God. Most or rather all of the rubbish that's happening right now is all mankind doing. Did God ask you to go to war and kill each other for land, women, wealth? Of course not, stupid!

Earth is big enough for all of us. We create boundaries, not God!

We can share but we didn't. We can live together in peace but we choose not. One thing is for sure, we're all bloody stupid fools!

Enough said. God, give you brain so why not use it to think about what I have posted here today.

Well, it's almost 1 am in the morning. Time to sleep and ponder...

P.S. Sufism is a man who prefers to live alone with God rather then living with
the poverty that man created for himself

Jose quits Chelsea!

I'm feeling sad and disappointed with Jose for quitting Chelsea so abruptly. When I first heard the news in the morning I thought that they had made a mistake or somehow that is was all joke. Well, it's a cruel joke alright.

After some poor results in the EPL and the Champion League somehow, something happen and Jose is out of Chelsea FC. All Chelsea fans are really sad and disappointed. Add to that there will be a big game at the weekend with Manchester United.

Avram Grant took over from Jose and really I'm pointing my finger at him for the reason that Jose finally decided to quit. Abramovich the Chelsea billionaire owner wanted too much too soon. He should know better then to meddle in the footballing side of the business. He should just let Jose do his job.

I always thought that Jose would leave someday but didn't really think it would be so early in the season at that. I respected the way Jose took Chelsea to the top 4 consistently and sadly enough in this day of age results matter most even though he has won everything there is in English football. What a sad sad day for Chelsea FC.

I just hope that Chelsea FC will recover from this major setback and get back to playing winning football. If Avram Grant can't do a Jose then he should also be sack and let a better manager to take over. Chelsea should keep the winning formula that Jose had used in his football philosophy.

I thought that Chelsea would win the EPL this season 2007/2008 but with Jose out I'm not so sure anymore. If Chelsea can continue being the top 4 then I'll be happy. No less then that!

Avram Grant had be warned by Alex Ferguson and if he can't do better then Jose then he should give way to a better well-renown proven manager. Hey, Abramovich should know better. He brought in Jose in the first place.

Well, let's just see what's going to happen from now own. No matter what though, I'll always be a Chelsea FC fan!!

Go Chelsea go!
