My Long Week

As you can see, it's been a week since my last post. Why? As always, my lack of posting would only because of work. It was really a pack week for me as I was put together with my colleague to 'babysit' my principle from India. The schedule was really pack as we start with a seminar on Monday morning and  then another two the next day before traveling up to Lumut for a seminar the next day. The resort suck in term of service big time. After the seminar we quickly packed up as we need to checked in Cherating that night. Our last seminar would be on Thursday morning at Cherating before back to KL. It was really a long drive and rush for all of us. Well at least me and my colleague drove the whole way. We had another long meeting on Friday morning for the week's seminar closing up. During lunch I'd told my marketing that the schedule was really hectic and she told me I am considered lucky. As my manager previously traveled around Malaysia the whole week for 2 seminar in one day and flew to KK the following week. They did around 12 seminars in a week. So my 3 seminar in 3 days? I close my case~! 

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

I am still deciding whether to watch this movie or not when MD called me up and invited me to watched it last night. Well, there goes my doubt. Before I know it, I am queuing up at the cinema already. I first saw the preview few months back and my first thought was, cool special effects. The movie tells of 3 apprentice of Merlin, the most powerful sorcerer in the world. They are Balthazar Blake (Nicholas Cage), Veronica (Monica Bellucci) and Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Merlin was killed by Morgana le Fay (Alice Krige) as he's being betrayed by Maxim. Veronica sacrifice herself by trapping Morgana inside herself and Balthazar had no choice but to keep both of them inside a Grimhold. Maxim is too being jail in the Grimhold for a thousand years while Balthazar finds the Prime Merlinian, Merlin's successor. 

A thousand year pass, and the Prime Merlinian is a guy name Dave (Jay Baruchel) who is a Physic  freak. Dave accidently freed Maxim who later got a hold of the Grimhold and freeing the Morgana one by one until the last one. In the mean time, Balthazar decided to take Dave under his wing as his apprentice when he found out that the latter is the Prime Merlinian. Final showdown at Battery Park where all the sorcerers throw out all their cards and a good showdown took place. The movie is close to 2 hours and I didn't even realize it. I had fun watching the movie although it's not the best I watched but still worth the money and time. Jay Baruchel is funny as he is in She's Out of My League. Nicholas Cage acting is good as always and you can't go wrong with a Disney movie can we? Enjoy~ !(Rating: 4 out of 5)

Comex 4.01 Jail Break

Comex had twitted few days back that he is not going to wait for Apple's iOS 4.1 and will probably be releasing the new Spirit jailbreak software soon. I am not going in details of the technical in here so I will go straight to the point. The new Spirit will be able to jailbreak iOS 4 for iPhone 3G, 3GS (for both running on new/old boot rom) and also iPhone 4. In his tweet, he had told that we will need to back up our SHSH blobs now. I had just back up mine a few minutes ago and decided to let you all know how to do it. 

1) Go to download the new Umbrella firmware from their website here.
2) Read the 'read me' file in it and back up your SHSH blob file.

Why do we need to back up our SHSH blob and what is this SHSH thingy? Well, let me put this in simple English. SHSH Blobs or ECID Blobs are like I.D assigned onto our iDevice by Apple. This unique digital signature will be sent to Apple server for authentication every time you connect your iDevice to do a restore & update to a newer OS. Restore can only be done if the I.D is verified by Apple. When you update to a new firmware, this I.D will be change. So when a new firmware is out and you encountered some problem with it, you will need to restore to the previous firmware but you can't since it's already been erased. So Saurik, creator of Cydia had created a server which act as something similar to the Apple server which save our SHSH blobs and we can retrieve it to restore our firmware to the previous one. Understand? No? Just download the firmware and back-up~!

PS: Again, I would like to say that the author do not take any responsibility of any damage which might happen to it's readers hardware. So try at your own risk and please BACK UP. 

Malaysia International Food & Beverage Trade Fair @ PWTC

One fine morning, as I was surfing the net in the morning, a friend text me to go to this trade fair in PWTC. It is the 11th Malaysia International Food & Beverage Trade fair in PWTC. I still remembered I was one of the participants during their last exhibition. Damn, there were so much food to test and I got a sore throat just after half a day over there. So this time, I have the experience to guide me through this long journey of food wonder. Drink more water~! haha!!The first place which I visited would be the Taiwan's Pavilion or more precise Tai Chung. There were quite a number of crowd in certain booth as they are giving out free tasting to the visitors.

This is a booth which displays a lot of nice colored Korean donuts. At first glance, you would guess that the place is selling donuts, but in reality they are not. They are actually selling the cooking machine for preparing the donuts. But you can have some free tasting for the donuts of course. This is one of the most 'visited' booth around Tai Chung Pavilion. Now you know why. 

This is also a good booth to visit as they are the only booth around which showcase ice cream. You can try their ice cream which I do recommend as it's not that expensive. It's only RM2/scoop with that black stuff on the top. No it's not the black pearl in your bubble tea. They have a few flavors like Vanilla, Mocha, Chocolate and Tiramisu. 

This is how one scoop of their ice cream looks like. I managed to coaxed them of giving me a scoop of Tiramisu FOC. How? Aiya~ Cannot tell you la, later everyone also use my trick, spoil the market la. haha! It's really smooth and soft and that black thingy really add some texture to it. It's soft and burst when you bite on it. Very fascinating.

They have everything preserved nowadays. This booth are showing their preserved Dried To Fu, Duck Eggs, Salted Duck Eggs, Milk Eggs and Hot Spring Eggs (what the hell is this??). First bite is quite good but towards the end, it's a bit too dry for me. This is some sort like a snack while watching the idiot box I guess.

A map of Taiwan made out of ... 

Nasi Lemak~ Yes, they are that creative. Don't you think Taiwan map looks something like our country? 

Finally I saw a square watermelon before I die. haha~! I was very intrigued by this square shape watermelon for quite some time. Since I saw it in the internet and movies before. I thought this could only be found in Japan, but heck, nowadays, it's quite common I think. Maybe they can make a love shape watermelon next time. Now, that is something that you don't see everyday. haha~!

Overall, I spent 3 hours or so over eating, I mean testing foods and drinks. My tongue is a bit numb towards the end as I totally lost count of how many coffee I had that day. My gosh, there are so many type of local made coffee in the market. Well, not locally anyway, but exported out to oversea. So for those food lovers who wanted to try some of the overseas snacks, make a trip over PWTC this weekend. You have exhibitors from Taiwan, South Korea, South Africa, China, Singapore and some other middle east countries. Enjoy~!
