Whitesnake in Kuala Lumpur!!

Boy oh boy...one of my favourite rock band is coming to Malaysia to visit me..yes me!!..not!! Well they are coming for a tour in Kuala Lumpur though. I'm not going to copy-paste any review from the internet about this band. I'd like to tell it in my own personal way..about what Whitesnake meant to me.

To tell you the truth, i can't say that I own every single album of Whitesnake. In fact, I don't own any! My big brother had one cassette..yes a cassette..we're not rich enough to own a CD player at that time which was outrageously expensive and not to mention about the price of one disc album which if I'm not mistaken about RM70 compared to a RM10 cassette. This was in the early 90's which apparently to be 20 years ago..and not just like a few years ago as I often imagined.

My wife always scold me for relating things with what they were in the 80's and 90's which she thinks irrational..well excuse me for living on the past. In the past, everything seems to matter more. Now everything is on the fast pace and seem to fly by so quickly hence making it much less appreciable. If you don't have a Friendster today then it's okay because MySpace and Facebook will come out before you know it. It's just like that.

Anyway..back to Whitesnake..they always have spot in my list of having really great songs which I would always play once in a while between a rotation of many many songs I've listened over the years. Not to mention the annoying syok sendiri singing around the house anytime I'm feeling like sliding it in (referring to Whitesnake song). And David Coverdale's singing is absolutely golden..making a lot of beautiful songs legendary. Songs like Here I Go Again, Is This Love and Looking For Love are some of the best rock ballads ever and the heavier ones like Children Of The Night,  Crying In The Rain and Slide It In are no less of a good song.

Coverdale had his magic not only while he was in Whitesnake but since he was in Deep Purple replacing the spot of Ian Gillan conveying songs like Burn, the bluesy Mistreated and the-ballad-everybody-know, Soldier Of Fortune.

Got the tickets already earlier this week from Victoria Music Store, Amcorp Mall PJ (grinning).

..and by the way this curly red spell-check line is bugging me to spell in American..wth..we're commonwealth!!

Apa nih??!!!

Aku x tau nak komen ape..

Email Security Tips

I'm no expert in internet security but there's a couple of tips that I can share :

Website registration / subscription

Do not register / subscribe to any website using your email address together with its own password.

Use any other password because there is never a need for any website to use your email address with its password. Those websites that require your email password is very likely to have inappropriate intentions towards your email. Possible risk is your email address could be used to spam all the addresses in your contact list and probably there are others as well. It's not worth the risk..so back off from subscribing to such websites. However, there are cases where you have to log in to other third party websites for example when sharing a website through Facebook where you have to log in first through a box with a secured (https) address; or logging in to a Google ID to comment on a web blog.

Use separate accounts

Do not use your office email or any email containing confidential data to goof around in the net like downloading and subscribing to potentially malicious or demeaning websites. Use a separate account in stead. Saves you the danger, reputation and conscience.

That's all I could think of right now. More tips when anything comes up in mind.





Translation by Google Translate (muahahaha..pande2 le kome) :

Saya tidak pakar dalam keselamatan internet tetapi terdapat beberapa tips yang saya boleh berkongsi:

Pendaftaran laman web / langganan
Jangan mendaftar / melanggan mana-mana laman web menggunakan alamat e-mel anda bersama-sama dengan kata laluan sendiri. Apa-apa penggunaan kata laluan yang lain kerana tidak pernah ada keperluan untuk laman web mana-mana menggunakan alamat e-mel anda dengan kata laluan. Laman-laman web yang memerlukan kata laluan e-mel anda sangat mungkin mempunyai niat yang tidak sesuai ke arah e-mel anda. Risiko yang mungkin adalah alamat e-mel anda dapat digunakan untuk spam semua alamat dalam senarai kenalan anda dan mungkin ada orang lain juga. Ia tidak berbaloi risiko .. supaya berundur daripada melanggan laman-laman web tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat kes-kes di mana anda perlu untuk log masuk ke laman web pihak ketiga yang lain contohnya apabila berkongsi laman web melalui Facebook di mana anda perlu log masuk pertama melalui kotak dengan alamat bercagar (https); atau log in ke ID Google comment pada blog web.

Gunakan akaun berasingan
Jangan gunakan e-mel pejabat anda atau mana-mana e-mel yang mengandungi data sulit untuk orang bodoh di dalam bersih seperti memuat turun dan melanggan kepada laman-laman web yang berpotensi berniat jahat atau merendahkan martabat. Guna akaun yang berasingan bagi pihak. Menjimatkan bahaya, reputasi dan perasaan hati.

Itu semua saya boleh berfikir sekarang. More tips apabila apa-apa jua yang datang dalam fikiran.

Go For Gold!!!

People have always invested in gold but most of them are naive. They invest in jeweleries and lets their wives wear them. The recent fever of investing in gold bars and dinars is simply because it's becoming too hard to talk their wives into selling them back. It was like investing your money into a black hole!!!  The only way their investments reach maturity is when their wives are dead and they have no daughters. Now we have the solution everyone's been waiting for. I say go for gold bars, gentlemen!!!
