Michael Jackson - Will You Be There

Great song. I believe it inspired a lot of people, and keep inspiring in the future.



Hold Me
Like The River Jordan
And I Will Then Say To Thee
You Are My Friend

Carry Me
Like You Are My Brother
Love Me Like A Mother
Would You Be There?

Weary
Tell Me Will You Hold Me
When Wrong, Will You Scold Me
When Lost Will You Find Me?

But They Told Me
A Man Should Be Faithful
And Walk When Not Able
And Fight Till The End
But I'm Only Human

Everyone's Taking Control Of Me
Seems That The World's
Got A Role For Me
I'm So Confused
Will You Show To Me
You'll Be There For Me
And Care Enough To Bear Me

(Hold Me) show me
(Lay Your Head Lowly)
told me
(Softly Then Boldly)
(Carry Me There)
I'm Only Human

(Lead Me)
hold me
(Love Me And Feed Me)
ye yeah
(Kiss Me And Free Me)
yeah
(I Will Feel Blessed)
I'm Only Human

(Carry)
Carry
(Carry Me Boldly)
Carry me
(Lift Me Up Slowly)
yeah
(Carry Me There)
I'm Only Human

(Save Me)
need me
(Heal Me And Bathe Me)
lift me up lift me up
(Softly You Say To Me)
(I Will Be There)
I Will Be There

(Lift Me)
I'm gonna care
(Lift Me Up Slowly)
(Carry Me Boldly)
yeah
(Show Me You Care)
Show Me You Care

(Hold Me)
whoooo
(Lay Your Head Lowly)
i get lonely some times
(Softly Then Boldly)
i get lonely
(Carry Me There)
yeah yeah carry me there
yeah yeah yeah

In Our Darkest Hour
In My Deepest Despair
Will You Still Care?
Will You Be There?
In My Trials
And My Tribulations
Through Our Doubts
And Frustrations
In My Violence
In My Turbulence
Through My Fear
And My Confessions
In My Anguish And My Pain
Through My Joy And My Sorrow
In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow
I'll Never Let You Part
For You're Always In My Heart.

Forbidden Words to I.T. Support Personnel

There are always words that you feel extra sensitive on, same goes to experts like I.T. Support. Here are some of the top words that can kill the day of an I.T. Support [does not follow by sequence, since all carries equal damage]:
  • "Wah... you so free ah today, surfing net only..." said by colleague
  • "Wah!!! You made so little changes and charge me 1 man-day ah??!!" said by client
  • "I need a timeline for this support effort!" said by client
  • "Urgent! Please resolved A.S.A.P!" said by client
  • "What take you so long to solve this?" said by client
  • "Once the system on live, is no longer our problem, is support problem." said by colleague
  • "Hey dude, I found a bug in the system, but I guess user doesn't know. Why not I deploy to live first, and you support guys fix it later." said by colleague
  • "Support is so important you know?!" said by colleague
  • "Have you Google for your problem yet?" said by colleague
  • "You already Google? Have you tried Yahoo! then?" said by colleague
Well, these are some of the high damage words that can bring down I.T. support motivation especially when they are spoken in the wrong timing. Perhaps I will write out the reason why these words caused damage in near future. Lazy to write now :)

Why I use Mozilla Firefox?

I'd actually used a lot of browser before I settle down with Mozilla Firefox. Opera and Safari are the browsers that I'd used for many years, I fancy Speed Dial from Opera and the appearance of Safari, but both of them are not perfect browser to me. I often faced difficulties when come to downloading with Safari, but Opera looks quite dull sometimes. Until I found Firefox with its tremendous of add-ons, I finally found my best browser. Just some sharing on what kind of add-ons actually move me to use Mozilla Firefox :

AnyColor: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6991


AnyColor is the add-on that allows you to make your browser looks more colorful, also with glossy effects. My Firefox is in sky blue now :)



Download Statusbar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/26


Download Statusbar replaces the annoying download window that gets in your way when browsing.



Firebug: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843


Now, with Firebug, web developer can easily view and edit CSS, HTML, and JavaScript in any website he/she is browsing. A good debugging tool.



FoxTab: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8879


Very often I having problem to navigate through tabs if they went beyond the width of my browser, but not anymore. FoxTab gives you a quick glance on all your open tabs, and it is more than what you can see from the image above.



FoxyTunes: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/219


Cool... I have save few clicks to open my music player while I'm browsing. Instead, my player is now embedded within my Firefox. Very impressive on the amount of players that it can support. Must get this add-on!



GooglePreview: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/189


By having this add-on, you can now have a first glance on your Google search result, plus those links also come with rating to show how reliable the results are to you.



Interclue: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4999


With Interclue, you will be able to know what is behind the link without needed to click on it. It gives you almost every information you need to know about the page that connected to the link :)



Personas: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10900


Not only color, you can now have your own theme for your Firefox ranging from categories like abstract, sports, websites, music, and etc.



Quick TransLation: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5641


As the name implies, it is a quick translation tool. Just set your language or country to translate, then highlight the word you want to translate in the web page. Viola! you will have your word being translated!



QuickNote: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/46


Since Opera comes with notepad, I just want my Firefox to have one as well. In fact, it is quite a useful and handy add-on.



Speed Dial: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4810


This is the one I'm talking about. Speed Dial! It works exactly the same as the Opera but it is much more customizable. You can have any number of rows and columns for your speed dial, and you can even have multiple tabs to have different set of speed dial. What a brilliant idea.



Tab Scope: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4882


With this add-on, you can now view your inactive tab by just hover you mouse cursor on the tab. Other than previewing the web content, you can also perform basic navigation from the scope, such as "Back", "Refresh", "Close", and etc. Cool!



The Nethernet: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6336


No joke. This is a MMORPG where you can play with your Firefox. A simple yet addictive game that only requires you to browse around the Internet, but there are mines and traps around :)



Well, these are the add-ons that I have in my Firefox - my favorite web browser.

Linkin Park - New Divide (OST of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen)

Gosh, Chester's voice is still the best as usual!



I remembered black skies the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

(Chorus)
So give me reason to prove me wrong to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

In every loss in every lie
In every truth that you'd deny
And each regret and each goodbye
was a mistake to great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

[Chorus]

Dinner at The Ship

Went to The Ship for dinner last Sunday. Thought it would be expensive, but ended up quite reasonable. Sorry about the photos since I'm only using a phone camera plus the environment was rather dark.

For the appetizer, it was the 1/2 Dozen Escargots (RM 15.90). Small but delicious with the creamy and cheesy kind of dressing.


Next, you should also try the Seafood Chowder Soup (RM 9.90). It is a tomato or Thai kind of taste, but it doesn't have the strong sour taste. What we can find in the soup are: fish, squid, prawn, some vegetables. Erm... Love it!


As for the drinks, my girlfriend ordered a glass of mocktail known as Big Daddy (RM 8.00). Guess it is for the Father's Day promotion. I'd tried it after my meal and taste nicer than I thought. I don't really fancy in orange juice but this one come together with the taste of milk, cream, and orange, DUH! Should try if you like orange juice, coz you will love this. Perhaps.


Argh... shouldn't have ordered the salad coz it looks more like a Rojak to me, and not much surprise in it except the ham taste execellent. It is know as the Ship's Salad (RM 12.90), which consists of eggs, cheery tomato, cabbage, ham, and thousand island dressing. Nothing much, let's move on.


Here come the main course. Baked Fish (RM 22.90), which my girlfriend and I heard as "Big Fish" when it was served. Not much surprise, just fish fillet covers by cheese served with some vegetables, but is very filling. Small eater will be defeated by this meal.


Finally, ready to get cute and dirty. Kindda forgot what's the meal called, sounds something like Neptune Combo (RM 35.90), which served on a sizzling hot plate and you must be careful if you are wearning white. This is the dirty part. As for the cute part, the waiter actually come to me and wear me an apron... so sweet of him making me looks cute... and also a bit embarass. Anyway, the meal known as combo for the reason of having chicken fillet and tiger prawn in one plate. Also, not forget about the corn, the tomato, and the fries. Not much surprise as well, chicken tasted like chicken, prawn tasted like prawn. Still... no harm trying :p


Done. Again no more space for dessert. Will definitely try them on my next visit. So here's the conclusion:

1/2 Dozen Escargot - :)
Seafood Chowder Soup - :)
Big Daddy - :)
Ship's Salad - :|
Baked Fish - :|
Neptune Combo - :|

With 15% of taxes, kaching! RM 121.80 as the final bill.
