Have you seen this before? I'm sure you guys have!

I've been using the internet since I'm standard 5 (which is 11 years old, 12 years ago!). When I first go online, I remember the FIRST even website I step into was www.nba.com (Hurray!). I've start learning how to use search engines, and free emails such as Rocketmail and Hotmail. It was back then everything looks so clean; viruses are rarely heard, spywares are non-existant. Probably due to the fact that during that time 56k modem is the fastest gig around, and I'm just using a 23k modem as my first one. :O

Technology wise, everything gets better in time. BUT, there are more sh*ts around than you can imagine. Hoax mails, viruses, spywares, trojans...4 / 5 of my friends out there using the internet will have been tricked, one way or another!

I'll start with the less serious ones. Take a glance at this email (you don't need to waste your time reading all of it, just take a quick glance) :

This program is promoted and sponsoredblah blahb blah ZZZZZZ

*ok i think it's enough torture*

And this (I saw this floating around friendsters and forwarded emails many many times before) :
Subject: FW: Microsoft and AOL merger
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 1999

I'm forwarding a forwarded message...read on, it it works you may get $$ from Microsoft. Certainly Bill has enough to share-maybe today we'll be blessed financially!

I am forwarding this because the person who sent it to me is a good friend and does not send me junk. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that Internet explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test. When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it (if you are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two week time period. For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $5.00, for every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $3.00 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $1.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a check. I thought this was a scam myself, but two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on, Microsoft contacted me for my e-mail and within days, I received a check for $800.00.


Heck, there are many more of these kinda craps, like "oh please forward this mail to donate get 20cents to this poor kid in this picture with cancer/wierd disease/no d*ck/watever. Please forward if you have the heart! :( :( :( "

Seriously...WHY ARE YOU GUYS TRUSTING THIS? Well, maybe those non tech savvy guys and girls may not have a clue about it but...why are you IT people got tricked? OMG, its as stupid as telling a car mechanic "Hey, I heard rumors that if you attach a bigger wing on your car, it can fly higher when you drive fast!". Some people are thinking "There's no harm trying this stuff, so oh well...it doesn't matter if I forward it right?" The answer? WRONG.

Wanna know why? Did you know that forwarded mails can be a cause of information stealing, mail spamming and time & space wastage? Lets go to information stealing first. When you forward mails to your friends, their email address will be displayed in the email message header right? Thats how spy companies get our information from! They kinda "steal" you and your friend's email so that they can spam the cr*p out of your inbox, which eventually leads to unnecessary bandwidth wastage and loading time. SNORE zzzZ.

Ok enough of the light part, now on to the more serious stuff : DANGEROUS MALWARES.
See these samples:




or stuff like this from your friends in the messenger :
"Hey tell me what you think about these photos! They are HOT

*sends a zip file named "photo.zip"

"

Stuff like this are actually more dangerous than the emails. YOU WILL BE IN DEEP SH*T IF YOU CLICKED ANY OF THE LINKS THE BOT PROVIDE YOU. Yes, its a spamming bot and NO, its not your friends. Their messenger accounts got hacked and spyware companies decide to make full us of it. If you did click, you're not only putting your own computer in trouble, but you're putting others as well. It's a freaking worm for goodness sakes, its one of the FASTEST spreading malwares out there.

The worse case scenario is that you have to format your computer. And you may not be 100% free as well, since you'll usually backup some important files before formatting your computer BUT the worm has snucked on board together with your backup files.

What about antiviruses? Aren't they suppose to do the job? Well, as far as I know, antiviruses MUST be updated a.s.a.p, and even so it doesn't guarantee your safety. Remember this logic : DOCTORS NEED TO RESEARCH TO FIND A CURE/MEDICATION/TREATMENT FOR A NEW DISEASE. Same goes for antiviruses. If the new worm/virus was just created yesterday, chances are they can slip through your computer undetected.

Alright, I guess thats enough rants to wake yourselves up. I'll briefly do a rundown on what you guys and girls know-whats :

  1. Do not trust forwarded mails that promises money and sh*t like that. Doesn't work technically, scientifically and astronomically.
  2. Do not click on stupid useless links and files your friend send to you in the messenger. Make a conformation with your friend on the other side first by asking "did you really send this?" and wait for his/her reply.
  3. Do not simply click on advertisements on the net that says "You're computer is infected by virus! Clean up today by downloading our antivirus, etc etc". Trust me, if you start downloading from those websites...you're downloading annoying SPYWARES into your PC.
  4. Do get a decent antivirus and antispyware to protect your PC, notably AVG (cause its free).
It's all about IT and tips today, so rants go into another day!

Until then Mr.Kazuki out.

I had a very very nice weekend btw. :D

Late weekend update post -_-"

I'm suppose to say somethin' about my weekend, but there are loads of work and stuff happening in my office right now, I can't even have time to blog O_o; . Kinda say "Business is about to pick up " for me! The past few days was really a blast, I've never felt that much happiness and excitement for a long long time.

Food
So anyways my weekends was a great one. Mainly 'cause my mum suddenly told me this on Sunday "eh ah pi, later I want to cook steak lo. Don't go anywhere later har." No offence to my mum's cooking, but I almost never seen her cook any kinda western food before (other than spaghetti, nuggets and fried stuff). But I was thinking what the heck...I've been tasting mum's cooking for 23 years now, should be averagely ok lah.

And so here goes...



I knew my mum is pretty good in cooking chinese food, but this really surprises me. It tastes even better than what you seen here, even my dad (who is not really a big fan of western food) manages to gobble up everything and gave my mum a thumbs up. My mum even say "aiyah, pai seh lah just learn a bit a bit only". Cis eksyen lagi...-_-"

But anyways I really have to praise and thank her for the very good food! I'll never ever doubt her cookin' again. If you smelalallala what Kazuki's mum is cookin' :O

Orks

I'll let the picture do the talking. :D




My painted collection so far




Converted Boss Snikrot! Took me days to figure out the right bits to build this dude right. Now I need to get his gang...



Next Ork boyz squad ready to be primed. The pose of the Nob looks nifty eh?



This is how the the trukk looks like on sprue.



And these are the left over sprues. Wanted to ditch em' away but, I think I may have use of those plastics. Don't waste high quality plastic!

Football

The big match yesterday! As usual, I'll never miss any great Liverpool European nights. Almost shouted when Kuyt scored the first goal (Hurray!). Almost throw the remote to the window when Riise headed the ball into the own net at the 94th MINUTE (...) . Was totally speechless. He really cracked under pressure. Few seconds also cannot tahan ah? Why need to @#$% diving header the ball when the ball is under knee level?! Go and clear the ball with the foot lah. Aishhhh. Pedih. Score ended up 1-1. Chelsea getting an away goal means Liverpool MUST score in Stamford Bridge later.

Pedih...Pedih...Argghh...!

Man of the match yesterday? Must be Chelsea keeper Petr Cech. He stopped Torres in 3 different occasions. If not for his concentration and skills, I think Chelsea tapao already. Darn.

Err...guess thats enough for now. Wanna take a rest since yesterday tak cukup tidur. Zzzz Good nite! I'll rant more about stuff by tomorrow...hopefully.

Mr.Kazuki over and out.

My mum's cooking rox.

Oh crap...

Yup, thats what I thought when I first login into my blog. The last post was....the end of last month! Dang, looks like time really did pass me by so darn fast. Didn't really have the time of blogging until for the past week or so, when several my buddies keep bugging me "eh, when mau blog?".

Work & Rants
Orait back to business. What's keeping me out for so long? Weeell...It's probably the same reason everybody gives when they are busy : BUSY WORKING LER. New equipments, computers, filing work, ISO trainings, company trip meetings, vendor meetings, etc. I seriously think it's time for me to....get a new KONCO! Let em' do all my dirty wo- I mean let em' do all my filing and cleaning up work. :D

Speaking of my position in my company, things are looking good this far. I've been entrusted with more important work, including being the leaderhead/MC/Kerusi-Man for the company party night. Many eyes will be on me, so I gotta behave. :O

What 'bout me personal life? It's been a heck of a journey this month. Lots of drama in my office. Probably 'cause my office is 85% female, so 'nuff said. Good dramas and not so good ones all coming almost everyday. I've now learn lots of useful/useless skills from my fellow female colleagues. So in short, I know the girls better now. :O

But hey hey hey, don't get me wrong. I still have my kick ass male hormones here. I've been steady all the while and been nothing but a bright star in my company. LOL.

Depending on situations, I prefer to make friends more than enemies. Yup, I even communicate with dudes and dudettes in my company's penang branch office. Actually not much dudes there, just the GM. 85% female rule is still in my company... -_-"

Free breakfasts and lunches galore for this month. I've actually lost count on how many free meals I had this month. Thank you bosses of PKT! :D

Food
This month I specially would like to mention 1 word bout food....MCDONALDS. They have been in a frenzy this month...loads of free burger coupons given out in newspapers, McD cash vouchers from colleagues, and free sausage mcmuffin vouchers given to me by some McD dude when I passed by McD on my way home yesterday. Too many free stuff, too little time. YUM.

And this month McD is gonna release their own...HOT PANCAKES! Huraaay. There's a reason pancakes are some kind of a folklore word in the west ya know? Its really that awesome.

Gaming
Kicked too much butt in Soulstorm using Orks so got a bit bored now. lol. Now busy kicking butt in Warriors Orochi for da PSP. I'll go through it briefly and asking the same ol' question...WHICH GUY OUT THERE DOESN'T LIKE KICKING BUTT? Whats more fun? Using famous ancient chinese legends from "The Romance of the 3 Kingdoms" and feudal japanese warlords from Japan to whoop 1000's of butt in the battlefield. It's as though a dream coming true. Since small I've actually envision this kinda game.

So how come the chinese can meet the japanese in ancient times? Apparently, there's some demon serpent dude who twisted time and space and thus summoning both warriors from China and Japan into his world, and testing out to see who kick's the most butt. So of course the player will chose a team of 3 Chinese or Japanese warriors to form up a tag team and kick orochi's butt! What's best, you can recruit more other kick ass members on the way there. Yup...imagine teaming up Guan Gong (you know who he is!) + Musashi Miyamoto (founder of the Japanese Samurais) + Lu Bu (best warrior in the 3 kingdoms, arguably better than Guan Gong due to his age) to kick some serious butt! :O

Zhao Yun, the best spearman in Three Kingdoms crossing against Yukimura Sanada, the best spearman in Feudal Japan!

The best in China (Lu Bu) against arguably the best in Feudal Japan (Tadakasu Honda) !

In da process of kicking butt! Loads of them around!

Oh well, at least I hope you guys know what I'm talking about. It's serious butt kicking in the process. If only Darth Vader is in....nevermind.

Football
Viva la Liverpool! They go through the Semi Finals. Hurray. Torres scoring 30 goals in his debut season so far. Hurray! But Liverpool boardroom now got problem. BOO! HISS!

Oh well, shit happens. Chelsea's locker room also got problem now, Arsenal's captain Gallas also making all sorts of noise there. Shit happens even if you're winning or losing. Shit happens anytime at all. :/

Ishk...my head is still rusty since its been some time off from blogging. So I'm kinda runnin out of things to say for now! Chiao...probably upload some pics of me orks later after I snap pics of them.

Mr.Kazuki over and out.

A nice fresh monday...

Work
Actually I'm running out of ideas to put for my blog title. lol. Been cracking my brain planning the theme for my company party dinner. Have to choose a title which is not to difficult to get the costume, but yet not too simple. Also busy messin' around with the new Scanjet scanner my company bought. It's huge and it sure is fast. Everyone expects me to know how to use any machine they throw at me, but of course I never had a problem with that...except that I need some time to adept to new stuff. :P

The only black dot of the day? Some fat dude in my company who is an IT graduate wants me to fix his DVD player into his office computer during OFFICE HOURS. What's worse? He admitted that he knows how to fix it, but doesn't want to get his hands dirty. When I said I had to plan stuff for the company trip, he kept insisting me to come. As kind as I can to do personal stuff for my colleagues, this is getting too far. Guess what my answer to him? I told him do it yourself or forget about it. This is the first time I kinda totally reject someone from helping him at all. He's not the boss, but yet he tried to boss me. Like Daniel pointed out to me, this fat dude is like trying to shit but asking me to wipe his ass. Better luck next time fatso! I just hung up his phone after he tried to 'persuade' me into 'kissing' his ass.

My company is actually filled with good and friendly people around, especially in the accounts department. Hey, I'm not complaining that my office is full of ladies :P . The ladies in my office are pretty nice to me, including the managers. There are only a few bad stories i heard which is the brash, self-centered fat dude I mentioned earlier. The only thing he talks about in the office is how high he studied, how he went overseas to study, how many Japanese anime toys he had in his house, how amazingly good is his pc, blah blah. Yeah right...the thing is that the more he talks about it in the office, the more my colleagues yawn and branded him wierdo for spending so much money on unnecessary stuff.

So guys and girls out there, be sure to watch your word before boasting yeah? If you want to boast, be sure it's something that you posses and doesn't make a fool out of yourself. No one's gonna be impressed if you boast about how you can fart for 10 seconds straight. :O

Football
Anyways it's a good weekend of football for Liverpool. Torres scored again, and they played well to keep Everton from scoring. It's just the lack of finishing quality from a few players that let me down. But 3 points is still 3 points anyways. So it's ok. Arsenal is nextttt...!!!

Gaming
Time, time, time. So many games, so little time. The PSP has been bombarded by amazingly good games everyone has been waiting for. I'm kinda flatfooted on which game to play 1st! :O
Either I'll play a cool ARPG and carry a big sword to slash enemies in Crisis Core, kicking 100's of asses in Warriors Orochi, Tuning up to some crazy drum beat in Patapon, playing another cool SRPG with a great storyline in Wild Arms XF...wow. And I've not even going into PC games, Star Wars and Warhammer yet. Ouch.

Music
I've blogged for quite sometime but forgot to mention about music :P. I've listen to many great musics in my life. But the particular spotlight I would like to show to you all this time is....THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. Not only it's arguably the most soothing music around at the moment, it's also one of the funkiest, craziest and at the same time have very deep meaning in their lyrics as well. I love this band. You should check out their music (but I'm sure you all have heard some of it on the radio!).

From left : Flea, Kiedis, Frusciante and Smith

I would recommend you these songs from them :
  • Dani California
  • Tell Me Baby
  • Snow (Hey Oh)
  • The Zephyr Song
  • Californication
  • Otherside
  • Scar Tissue
  • Under The Bridge
There are many others, but these are the top ones. Try it and believe it. :D


Youtube
Whats more cute than a pig with a cool name? Check this out...




Got the reason why this Taiwanese bank isn't allowed in Malaysia?

Chiao for now. Work beckons!

Everything's well...perhaps too well?!

Ok...I have probably too many pictures posted in the last few posts, so I'll better be writing now. lol.

  1. Work and Company trip planning is so far so good. Langkawi + Amazing Race = Kooool.
  2. Health is in tip-top condition
  3. My paint job on da orks are doing great (waaaagggh!)
  4. Me old hobby : Star Wars Miniatures has been revived with the new Legacy Of The Force set. :O
  5. The long awaited yearly extravaganza WWE WRESTLEMANIA XXVII is comin' soon in April. Great to see Paul Wight a.k.a The Big Show coming back to wrestle. He's one of the biggest and funniest wrestlers ever. :)
  6. The relationships with my peers and friends are improving (*rub hands*)
  7. Been eating good food recently (thanks mum for the great spaghetti last night :D )
  8. Cool movies like Iron Man , Death Note spin-off, Hellboy 2 is set to come out soon
  9. Good PSP games are out (Crisis Core, Wild Arms XF!)
  10. One of my fave PC games' expansion, WH40k DOW : Soulstorm is also out (!)
  11. Interesting football matches this weekend (Man Utd vs Liverpool! Chelsea vs Arsenal!), not to mention crazy Champions League matches against Arsenal...fun, sleepless nights again.

What else is next?

Of course, I would like to thank god for the good life I'm living today. But apparently, I've seen rather emotional messages floating around my MSN Messenger. It made me wonder whether I could share some of my happiness to my good friends. I'm oozing too much of it right now, I wish I could. Or at least share my mentality with others. Seriously.

You guys/girls out there should get some hobby or two. It does brighten up your life a lot, especially if you share the same hobby as some fellow friends. I'd love to have more friends who are wrestling freaks, since I'm lacking in that department right now. lol.

Alrite' chiao for now. Total craziness for me to post a blog post like that huh?! :P

The coming of Petedakka 'eadsmasha















WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHH!
