Our ISP sucks?

How true is this? I think this blogger is pretty much getting it right on how our isp really sucks!
I'm sure everyone has experience downloading stuffs, be it songs, movies, etc ... and sometimes ... no ... most times ... its really really slow! ur isp is controlling ur usage n speed people! don't be naive and think its all "unlimited" - ur time is unlimited but ur speed is limited.

Ever wonder why our telcos can charge us some 10cents or 15cents per minute when it can be alot less? If u have travelled to China, notice the locals have really long mobile numbers ... they are actually using VOIP. It's all over China, n cuts call costs alot, those who have experience this over skype will know how cheap it is to call international. Ever wonder why Malaysians aren't extensively using VOIP considering we have a young generation and everyone seems to own a mobilephone ... thanks to some policy to keep a few of our telcos alive, our telcos aren't much bothered by competition (international telcos have to jv with our local telcos to operate in good ole Msia). So we aren't getting the advanced services as fast as our counterparts, that's why other countries are moving at a much faster pace than us! While we are being drowned by 3G services - currently 3G services are so limited, which is probably outdated by the time it's fully implemented, telcos are sucking our money right under us. It's time to upgrade the infrastructure MAXIS CELCOM DIGI!

super rookie Lewis Hamilton!

Lewis - first black guy to win his first F1 grand prix race from pole position in just 6 races into the season in yesterday's Canadian Grand Prix which was filled with accidents and 4 safety cars. Robert Kubica was involved in a massive accident with his car turtling and landing on it's side, he suffered a broken leg. But the highlight of the race for me was Takuma Sato in a Super Aguri overtaking Fernando Alonso in a Mclaren! Sato overtook Alonso fair & square on the race track and finished 6th earning him 3 points. Lewis Hamilton now leads the championship, can he win the title?

So SMART the tunnel

Rain in KL is like icing on cake - very normal affair. One would expect floods to happen alot in the city, which is what happened a few years ago when a massive flood occured, most notably a tourist spot - Dataran Merdeka underground carpark was filled with water, causing damages in thousands of ringgit. The cause was said to be overflowing of riverbanks in the city area. So, being Malaysians, rectifying a problem means building something big/tall/deep! Hence, we have the SMART tunnel - Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel - a tunnel which supposedly prevents overspill of flood water from Sg Klang, Sg Ampang, Sg Gombak and ease motor traffic congestion preventing flooding in the city. The tunnel is almost complete and was open to the public for a month in mid May. Here comes the good part. Last Sunday evening, flash floods occured in KL and PJ areas - there were minor landslides and flooding because of blocked drainage causing massive traffic jams all over KL. Now, with SMART tunnel in use, you would think there was a solution in place for drivers in KL. Guessed what? Motorists who decided to use SMART tunnel was caught in a traffic jam for more than 1 hour because the SMART tunnel was flooded! Spending millions of ringgit to build a solution for KL motorists and this is the service we get?! What a waste of road taxes! Authorities explained that the SMART tunnel was designed for floods occuring from overflow of Sg Klang, Sg Ampang, Sg Gombak and does not cater for flash flood from drain blockage (which is what happened last Sunday). Gee, I thought a flood is a flood, there is a difference in types of flood? What's the purpose of spending millions of ringgit if it cant cater for all types of flood? Shouldn't they have done a thorough study of all types of flood that happens in KL before they build SMART tunnel? Samy please explain. Don't blame others like you did in the government building roof leaking issue. Maybe in future, kids will be sent to school just to answer questions so they don't sound dumb. Whilst hundreds of motorists were stuck in the tunnel, it was noticed that there were only 4 huge fans that ventilated the tunnel! This is definitely not up to international standard, without proper ventilation we could all suffocate and die in the SMART tunnel. Now this aint very smart is it. Samy what have you done with the tax payers money? Obviously someone has given some bad advice, someone is benefitting so much that they have cut costs (or they had to cut costs because the money has to be used to for the many layers in the government's system), someone is using innocent KL motorists as guinea pigs during this 1 month trial period of using the SMART tunnel. So the next time you think you're "smart" to use the SMART tunnel, think again. Malaysia boleh!

Shrek 3

Shrek the Third returns!
Yup, it's the kingdom of Far Far Away & that green ogre Shrek. The king frog dies in the most long winded way, choking on his own breath and giving the throne to Shrek who gives it to Artie (the princess' cousin from somewhere whose father left him - no link watsoever to the whole movie). There's a new character Merlin - manic, crazy wizard whose robe cant cover his skinny legs while his spell-casting side-effect is to swap Donkey and Puss In Boots' inner soul - Donkey is now Puss and Puss is now Donkey. Aihh! This 3rd edition isn't as funny as the first two, although there's still a few good laughs to look forward to. If you have time to spare and you like everything green, watch it ... otherwise "Go Go Away"!

M&M's has also launched their Ogre-Sized M&Ms. Yes, you guessed it ... it's GREEN! From the packaging it looks like its twice the size of a normal M&M. Hhmm ... i shall try it & let you know.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3

An entertaining movie overall. Tip is to make sure u at least have seen Pirates 2 otherwise it's difficult to follow the story & characters. Remember to stay until the middle of the credits for extra footage!

Added a short video preview, what do u think? I tot it's kinda cool to be watching the scene again but i wish there were other scenes to choose from. Unfortunately, I don't know how to stream or edit more of the pirates movie coz I don't have it to begin with! haha u just have to live with the free stuff!

Soon after the death of Mr. Henson, sadKermit turned to a life full of drugs, alcohol and sex. His fall to rock-bottom was quick and unrelenting .... then sadKermit wrote some really dark, boring and strange songs to express his sorrows - the frog can't sing, it's so SAD!

Lessons of Guangzhou

My first "real" trip to China was to Guangzhou. I went to Shen Zhen previously but i don't think it really counts as an eye-opener. Visited my ancestral home in Shun Tak, a district in Guangzhou in a village called "Sai Gou, Dai Dei" (its really close to the largest furniture city in Shun Tak which is approx 1 hr drive from Zhu Hai). We don't have any more links to the village but it was a nice experience to kind of go back to ur roots in China. This trip was really an eye-opener of China, many stories and experiences in just a few days! University professors won't be able to teach u any of the experiences of China, ever.

Here's a few things i learnt in mainland China:-

1. Chinese people in China cannot be trusted. If you ask anyone on the street for directions and they tell u its really near - its not!
2. Guangzhou food is nice. But go to restaurants where the menu has prices if possible and don't let the captain order too much food for you! You will end up with a table full of dishes u can't finish.
3. Asking for favors in a village - offer them some money and they will be ur best friend.
4. Don't trust your cab driver. Don't trust touts after u have negotiated with them, negotiate again with the driver.
5. You can be rude to the people in China, even better if you are louder than them. But becareful, this only applies to people in the South, people in the North will physically attack u!
6. Do not pick up money from the ground or any foreign objects on the ground. Especially if someone asks you to do so.
7. While crossing the road, just close your eyes and walk. The cars and bicycles will not stop for you even if the pedestrian light is green. It's an amazing country.
8. If you are a man, you will be solicited if standing on the streets alone. It may be your lucky day, but be warned, the ladies will be all nice and pretty, once u anger them, their true colors will show.
9. The biggest Chinese clans go by this order - Chan (Chen), Lee, Cheong, Wong, Ho.
10. Pay to go to the toilets, it's worth it! Nicest toilet is at the Museum of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen in Zhongsan, on the way to Guangzhou.

No matter how smart and cautious you are, when in China you are in for a ride! Enjoy! :D

Night-time F1 anyone?

Would you goto the formula 1 race at night?

This is the proposed race for Singapore's inaugural F1 race next season! Msian Grand Prix might follow by staging the race under floodlights!

It's going to be something like a Nascar race with lights all over the racetrack but then the Msian circuit is not really a stadium like place so it's going to be interesting how this turns out if it happens. Definitely a cooler race than being in the hot sun and occasional rain.

As for Singapore's street racetrack, another Monaco in the making or a Macau F3 like race?
Stay tune to find out.

Singapore's most recent

St. James Powerstation (the most happening place in Singapore at the moment opposite Vivocity) had their grand opening on Monday, 12 March 2007. I was there that night and the crowds were definitely there on a Monday night. The good thing about this place is you pay 1 cover from any of the 9 theme clubs and you can hop into all the clubs! Of course u look for the cheapest entrance hehehe we went to dragonfly first - surprising the cover is only sgd12 for ladies and a bit more for guys, it was packed by 10pm as the chinese live band was playing at 1015pm which was pretty good. Then we hopped around all the other clubs (except for some which had a private function that night - apparently the owner Mr. Dennis Foo (owner of Devils Bar on Orchard) spent approx sgd600k for the grand opening, i was told their turnover for the past 2-3 months has been more than sgd1mil!). There's a jazz place at the Bellini Room on the 2nd floor, english live band/latin at the modiva, powerhouse with the techno/house music, Tiger pub and lotsa food which opens till 5am! the cars on display that night included the latest ferrari, maserati, porsche, beemers, audi - lots to keep ur eyes goggling. oh there's also a karaoke place! for more info goto www.stjamespowerstation.com

For a more relaxing and chillout place, u must visit The Boosh. It's very nicely themed with nice outdoor greenery, waterfall and excellent atmosphere (there's no mossies!) Nice place for some food and wine. They also have a live band towards the weekend.

Chap Goh Meh

today is the 15th day of the chinese new year celebration of the fire pig year 2007 otherwise known as chap goh meh amongst hokkiens and chinese alike.

some single people take this day to throw mandarin oranges into rivers or lakes or water containment areas (maybe small swimming pool) in hope of finding their other halves. the girls will write their names and contact details on the oranges and throw them into the water whilst the guys will pick oranges from the water - malaysian way of match-making! in china, there will be lantern displays with riddles - the person who is able to decipher the riddles will be matched with the person who posed the riddle! this is the olden way of match-making!

today is also the last day of hardcore gambling sessions throught the 15 days of chinese new year! yes chinese people love their gambling - anything for chance or risk is good for the heart! i had a streak of 8 days straight of mahjong, blackjack, texas hold 'em and other forms of card games involving the bartering of money ... some good luck some bad luck, came and gone ... i think i'm still in the red :( oh well till next year then!

happy holidays!

it's federal territory day & thaipusam! holiday holiday yay!
note to self : don't goto work today ... sleep late

shop shop in bangkok

Visited bangkok over the weekend for a shopping trip (its a place that makes the literal meaning of "shop till u drop" literal! if u know wat i mean.) Stayed at the Novotel Siam Square (extremely convenient for shoppers). A little shopping route from the hotel: -
1. Novotel - Siam Paragon - Siam Discovery - Novotel
2. Novotel - BTS Skytrain - Chatuchak (or JJ as the locals/ our cabby called it) - Novotel - MBK - Siam Square shops - Novotel
3. Novotel - Siam Square shops - Centralworld - Gaysorn - Novotel
4. Novotel - BTS Skytrain - Emporioum - Novotel - Siam Paragon - Novotel
5. Novotel - Suan Lum Night Bazaar - Novotel

notice the numerous times we headed back to the comfort of our hotel room for a quick sit and nap! trust me u need it coz the place is hot and humid, your legs will go aching mad with the constant walking and there's more to the above shopping route!

surprisingly there are lots of pretty and handsome thai people walking around the malls (maybe its just paragon?) anyways we are convinced plastic surgery is the thing that keeps them looking so nice - imagine their clothes sizes are not the normal sizes you would expect back home, everything is a size smaller in bangkok, making me feel a tad bit big!

on our way to the airport, we had a f1 wannabe cabbie - he was speeding at 160kmph, even i don't drive that fast! bangkok being notorious for its traffic jam - it only took us 25mins to the new Suvarnabhumi airport! after check-in ... u guessed it ... more shopping!

McDonalds gives MP3 players infected with spyware as prizes

If it is not lawsuits then there is virus infected MP3 Players, the fast food giant is always in the news. It all started in August when McDonalds Japan in association with Coca Cola announced a contest, where a MP3 player was awarded upon sending the unique number on the Coke glass as a text message. In all 10,000 winners were announced and each got a Mac branded flash DAP preloaded with 10 tunes. However the MP3 players were infected with QQpass a very dangerous malware. So your PC is infected once you connect the DAP and it starts logging and transmitting username, passwords and other vital information. McDonalds Japan has apologized and set up a 24 hour helpline for those affected by the spyware loaded MP3 player. Becareful with what you hook up to ur pc!

anti-haze

haze haze haze! why are we, the citizens going thru the sufferings of the haze - itchy eyes, itchy throat, coughing, stuffed nose ... the list goes on and on. what's the point of having an anti-haze treaty (1996) if the country causing the haze and suffering isn't going to sign it or abide by it, another pointless piece of paper drawn up just to satisfy some environmentalist - who currently aren't doing much to ensure the haze stops. great work to the people of the country and leaders (so far there's been alot of talk, finger pointing and whining), 10 years since the anti-haze treaty was proposed, 10 years hasn't changed anything and somehow we are going to be a developed country by 2020 - how do u propose we change the mentality of our and neighbouring citizens in 14 years when we can't prevent haze sufferings for the past 10 years?

the banquet

i just watched the banquet - starring zhang ziyi and daniel wu :p
can anyone tell me who actually killed the empress?! did she really go insane and committed suicide or someone actually killed her in the end? tick tock tick tock who did it?

bill-board

this huge billboard that covers an overhead pedestrian bridge serves to remind KL-ians to "Love Kuala Lumpur". strange doncha think that KL-ians need to be reminded to love their city?

floating toad

toad is playing dead

vain toad

me & hungz was walking near the water lily pond when suddenly we heard a "dum", "splash" in the pond. curious, we homed in to the little pond and found a tiny toad swimming and floating in the pond! it was having a great time, treating the pond as a swimming pool and diving and floating and showing its face for us to take photos (sorry, camera phone night mode and light not great). i think toads can sense us or hear us ... and when it plays dead in the water it sinks just like us humans!

KFC mashed potato bowl

the KFC mashed potato famous bowl of everything on the menu all thrown into 1 bowl - i wonder when KFC Malaysia is going to introduce this ... did u know the mashed potato bowl with gravy is the fattest item on the KFC menu! yummy isn't it? layers of flavor = layers of fat :p

curry bath!

fancy a curry bath? A hot springs (onsen) resort, Hakone Hotel Kowkien, is offering a bath mixture incorporating curry spices, such as red pepper and turmeric that is said to improve blood flow and produce beautiful skin. Here's some people taking a hot bath in Hakone west of Tokyo 21 July, 2006. It's good for the health and makes you look good, too!

grave buggers

crazy frog football craze

here we are another crazy video clip - crazy frog 'we are the champions (ding a dang dong)'! this clip coincides with the world cup and the album will be released tomorrow. omg ... they censored his weeney! wanna view it? go here -> Crazy Frog Video Clip

much about nothing

i was watching xmen 3 the other day and it occured to me that we (humans, people, normal beings on earth) built fences and locks to save ourselves from other humans, people, normal beings on earth ... ironic isn't it? we are afraid of our own kind ... not aliens or mutants or other creatures!

on another note, the movies these days are a bit uninspiring ... nothing to really shout about ... more or less rather dull ... and with more hikes in electricity, water and food in the country ... i don't blame piracy - it's not the poor people's fault they have to support piracy ... ask the government (how come our currency is weaker then brunei/ singapore ... we have oil, we have land) and exploiting companies who pay meager salaries. the maths don't add up ... yet we have to change OUR lifestyle ... ironic ... for a country which paints itself as developing, we take 2 steps forward and ask our people to take 3 steps back. on the front it looks nice and rosy, but using a microscope, the people's mentality is rather lacking ... wonder why?

missing macau

macau baby! just got home from my holiday with febe (miss me!) hehehe ... had a great time eating and relaxing with my wonderful tour guide, i think we ate almost every waking hour ... mcdonald's in macau was featuring a new 饭tastic burger & with a playing ticket u can win a bag of rice saying a tongue twister (febe quick do it!) this picture is the burger - its chicken squashed between 2 rice cakes with vegies & mayo ... its so filling u cant eat this for supper!

i miss going out in macau - everywhere is just 10 minutes away - lovely! casino's everywhere u turn! but we had no luck :(

ketchup boy

met a new funny fren at bulldog friday nite ... after a few drinks, our new fren challenged us 3 gurls to down a pint of kilkenny each ... the prize: - a grown man drinking the ketchup bottle! (who wouldn't wanna see dat?)

of course, us gurls rose to the challenge - kudos gurls!

honouring his word, our new found fren downed a whole bottle of heinz ketchup bottle (which was really gross honestly) ... after gulping down 3/4 of it, he poured the rest of the ketchup on a plate and finished it with a teaspoon plus licking the plate clean ... hence, our newly crowned ketchup boy

dat's what u get for challenging gurls! :)

thanks ketchup boy for the laugh ... it was gross but it was really fun ...
i'll never look at a ketchup bottle the same again

office blackout adventure

our whole office building had a blackout this afternoon! and it just have to happen when our dear cy and ee were stuck on level 22 - doing of all things ... binding reports ... for a meeting that starts in 5 mins! (this is very normal la)
as usual the bosses were not happy coz they were extremely late and had no reports! the man was on the phone hurrying both to get the reports downstairs as they were waiting in the car while the boss was clearly not happy in the background...(the usual things start to happen in the car now)

so cy and ee were our heroines today (they haf to earn the employee of the month award if there's such a thing)
they ran down 22 flight of stairs in their heels ... cy was already having dizzy spells and half way thru ee just took them off - heck it la she says ... once at the lobby, cy just sprinted across the road (she reckons being hit by a beemer was a good thing ... ee - "becareful cy!"), cy stuffed the reports into bosses hands and (coughing) out of breath, waved them off ... go go go (had she managed to get those words out)

then, they sat by the sidewalk trying to regain their breath ... along comes another big boss - "cy, u're so unfit la" ... "no wonder her face look like a broom" were some known comments

with no mobile, no money, no credit cards, no identity ... our heroines, cy and ee went back to the office, packed up and walked 13 floors down again (22 + 13 floors = higher than the building la) coz our trusty national electricity service provider can't fix the problem within reasonable time. (this is also very normal la)

well.. where else to go but trusty old mr. bucks office :)

GAMARJOBAT

hilarious mime comedic duo! Hiropan (Hiroshi Yoshimi) and Ketch (Keisuke Uchida) will tickle u till u drop with their "magical" mysterious metallic briefcase, shocking pink mohawks and rock-on music! kudos to the young kid from the audience who was haplessly being tricked again n again n again... so clueless! this jap duo can moonwalk, do staircase and lifts mime as perfect as ever and their version of rocky definitely beats the original (sorry rocky fans out there!) ... worth my 2 cents and 1 hr! :)

who is mini me?

witness "Mini Me" playing mahjong! ... aawww ...

a month on ...

hello hello! it's been a long long month! so many things has happened ever since the last posting ...

came home to kl to celebrate chinese new year! it was a blast! gambling for 13 days of the 15 chinese new year days ... eat, play, sleep ... the bestest ever ... minus the $ losses (which was horrendous on my part!)

then it was back to work work work ... never ending sight of work, company after company ... until now i'm confused sometimes ...

reformatted my clogged up pc ... yea pics are all va-moosh from my hdd now..dat's why this posting has no pics! :(

also celebrated my bifdei! yea yea ... older wiser as a girlfren of mine told me ... wiser yes... older ... NEVA! ;p

plus lotsa mahjong sessions man.. all week long ... i think my fren's are addicted! OMG! hehe but its great fun ... u get so tense, excited till u sweat! hahaha... who says mahjong isn't a physical game!

lion dance in kuching!

chinese new year comes early in kuching!

there were 2 lions and a 9-man dragon dancing on the streets of kuching town ... imagine i'm staying on the 11th floor and its so loud! the whole dong dong chang dong dong chang was on for at least 20mins and did u know, the drum beat is different for a lion dance and a dragon dance?! oohh wahh

this whole weekend, they've even closed half the roads for the cny nite market and stage show ... they take cny celebrations really seriously here :p

gosh they've started dong dong chang again! it's like a mini concert downstairs ... i hope they don't start karaoke!

more kuching food!

i had kueh chap - its so delicious! thinly sliced smooth rice cake, lean pork meat (u can have some with fats, intestines), beancurd & egg in yummy soup ... reminds me of bak kut teh ... i'll put up a pic soon!

the weirdest thing i've had is called 'mani lui sa' or hakka lui ha ... it's a bowl of rice with 3/4 kinds of vegie and peanuts ... what's so weird about a bowl of vegie? ... the soup! it came in a separate bowl - thank goodness! its many sorts of vegie blended into this soup which is bitter and smells yucks! ... apparently all 1st timers who try dis soup will haf the same reaction as me ... cringe facial expression ... weirdest gross soup ever! but it's the healthiest bowl of rice i've had since i came to kuching hehehe

kolo mee, damai, riverside

today was raining quite a bit here... managed to catch a ride to damai beach... luckily i managed to walk on the beach n around before it rained like cats & dogs! then it was back to kuching town. do u know u can walk the whole riverbank end-to-end in 30mins! i even went to the wet market (yup it's as dirty n messy like back home!).
i tried kolo mee the other day .. its a bit like instant noodles (tho jason my kuching colleague sez if its instant noodles it's not kolo mee!) in garlic & sesame & soy sauce & some sweet red sauce (makes the whole thingy reddish!) .. .very simple food n nice .. plus i found out there's a branch in taman megah! will go home n check it out.
sarawak vegie - midin is yummy! everyone who comes here must try it!

lunch today - laksa sarawak ... yup i ate laksa ... i dun eat laksa at home but i had some today ... errmm its cooked with vermicilli n its not the sour kind of soup ... hhmm i dunno, i dun eat dat much laksa to compare but i think its ok.
tea today - pineapple cheese tart ... errmm...
diner today - "nude crab burger" at D'Alif by the waterfront ... its not too bad .. not great ... i think original crabs still the best la!
is there any other local food i haven't tried yet??

kuching ... meow meow

i'm in the land of cats ... kuching, sarawak!
just found out there's wi-fi in my hotel room ... weee ... go somerset!
also just had a taste of some local food ... tomato kuey teow (apparently only in kuching u get this not in kl). its kinda interesting ... where u get fried kuey teow (or bee hoon or mee) and there's some starchy tomato sauce poured over it ... then there's some tomato after taste to the noodles. next thing to try is kolo noodles!

puking binge downtown

last thursday was the most interesting experience in kl city ... i was sitting at the hawker stalls next to hong leong bank ... near beach club during lunch hour. suddenly, i went green and feeling cold sweat, next thing i know, i was puking by the roadside for almost 1 hour. i was later diagnose as having food poisoning (minor by my standards-coz i work the whole weekend after)
people were just walking pass me as if nothing extraordinary is happening ... just another drunk person puking by the roadside ... hello ppl, its lunch time, working clothes!
after visiting the doctor (my dear colleagues had to drive me round the block-wat will i do without them, they were eating lunch while i was puking next to them) ... whilst walking back to the office, i puked again (the last of the milo) - this time it was the walkway thru menara IMC ... hehehe.. don't worry i did it in a plastic bag & threw it in the bin outside menara prudential. then there was another puking session at home (no more milo just water ... colour n smell differs!)
now dis is wat i call paint the town red! (tho it wasnt quite pretty) :p

7 month 14th day

today is the 14th day of the 7 lunar month in the all important Chinese calender!
oohh wat does that mean u ask?
Hungry Ghost festival i.e. the ghost gets a little more hungry, a little more evil tonite ... before the hell gates closes for another year. Also known as "Yue Laan", it falls on the 19th Aug 2005 (its celebrated on the 14th nite of the 7th lunar month)
i learnt that the most "dangerous" time of the day is actually in the evening when the sunsets (the yin yang wif the souls of the other world is apparently at its best) ... so don't go out! coz by tradition, at nite the lanterns / candles are lit to direct the ghosts back to their homes (where ever dat may be).

OMG!

pucuk ubi

today i had lunch at a place called "pucuk ubi" (which means potato stick). the restaurant is located in "new town", a row of shops opposite the pj hilton. it serves borneo food which was really spicy! highlight - its run by a group of transvestites better known as "aquas" and i think 1 of them said a frenly "hi" to chin teong earlier in the morning, i don't think he will be venturing there alone anytime soon hehehe

lost dog found

wat a day!
first: after 2 weeks break from work, the first thing that had to happen is my notebook couldn't startup! freaky shit! ... almost tot i crashed the hdd ... thank god a tiny staple just short circuit the motherboard which now has to be changed (so much for an IBM!)

second: my dog ran away! luckily with some "feel" & carina's eyes & calling (she insists this mentioning) we found him after 8 hours with a good neighbour down the road who graciously found him at her door and saved him from the rain. silly dog ...

third: bird shit on my car! tho some might say it's good luck if u're planning to buy a lottery number... plus i think there was some luck coz we found dino :p

fourth: dang printer got stuck n misaligned itself...no help here... a real technician has to be called.

luckily the day is almost over ...
