Some geeky stuffs.

Ahem… Testing, Testing

I heard of Roxio online for quite sometimes already and I had seen some bloggers using it. Recently I tried to camwhored with my new camera and it’s now time to show you some shoots of myself hahaha… It’s been a while not posting up vain photos 😛 I still haven’t master the skill with it yet. Need more practice 😛

Only 3 steps required. Fast and easy. It supports GIF, JPEG, PNG and BMP. The speed of uploading your photos will depend on the size of your photos. Since I only have 3, it should be quite fast… The size limit is 20MB. You can also add in music, style, captions and stickers in it.

Like the effect of Roxio? Then you should go get one yourself and show your friend all your photos with Roxio slide show.

Hosting with IPSERVERONE

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Hosting with IPSERVERONE

I’m sure many of you heard of IP ServerOne before. If you haven’t, you are hearing it now.

We have some forums, these forums are hosted there for more than a year already ever since we got kicked out by another service provider(not the one I’m currently use for this blog) because our forums were draining their bandwidth and the downtime was horrible! Guess what?!?!? IP ServerOne web hosting is quite reliable and the forums are running smoothly with little down time unlike the previous one.

Because of the reliablity, in fact most of my blogs were moved over there since few months back, this blog will be moved over when we are freerer. Wonder how the charges are? Here you go…

This is one Malaysia web hosting that you can trust.

My Canon IXUS-es

Posted on By sweet surrender 11 Comments on My Canon IXUS-es

Hehehe… In this post, I’ll take about my new camera also 😉


Showed you this picture before, my 3 IXUS-es. My whole collection *LOL*

Left: My newest IXUS bought it from Kuching, Canon IXUS 80 IS, the biggest of all! The cheapest of all! Got it at RM999

Middle: Just retired IXUS bought it from KL, Canon IXUS i zoom, I think I’ll ask my bro to assemble it and do some soldering to the wires 😛 That should fix the problem, happened to find out about it last night in a forum hehehe… If it’s fixed, HURRAY! I have two cameras to use 😛 Lasted 2 and half years.

Right: The first generarion IXUS bought it from Singapore and the most expensive one. Lasted 1 year only -.-”

Here’s a combo photos of all the 3 IXUS-es, see the differences of the designs and sizes and of course the colours 😛

I like to take macro shoots and all these 3 served me very well! The photo qualities are always exceptional!

Let’s start with the first IXUS, got this in December 2003 in Singapore. My dad bought it and then I’m the hogger and ended up became mine *LOL* What to do? I’m the one who used it the most, the rest of my family members didn’t use it much, might as well give it to me hahaha… This one doesn’t have optical zoom, just digital zoom. However, it took fantastic macro photos. This is how I discovered the fun of macro, thanks to this camera.

Next, second IXUS, got it at RM1300+ at Low Yat, KL somewhere in January 2006. Gave me tonnes of problem and sent it in and out of Canon to fix as the problem could only be discovered by luck. The battery contact was faulty! Then I found out the macro seemed not working but in fact there’s no problem with it, you can only use the macro when you use optical zoom else it’s just normal photo, it won’t change to macro mode automatically even after you choose the macro mode. Got pretty nervous when it reached the one year mark but good thing it was OK and lasted another 1 and half year. Phew… Then E18 came…

The latest IXUS, RM999 only with tonnes of freebies but not all useful *LOL* Except the SD cards(1GB and 2 GB), neck strap, tripod, screen protector and casing. This camera is very bulky unlike the previous two. It’s quite pain in the ass to bring it around 😛 However, the photos quality is pretty good and with my shaky hands, the IS is really useful and great for taking photos in low light condition. The macro was quite good coupled with the IS. I haven’t use much of it though as there’s not much events going on and do not have any outings to shoot lots and lots of photos. I haven’t camwhored with it too! 😛

These are the freebies that I got from buying this new camera at Sarawak ICT Expo 2008. Hopefully this camera can last me for at least another 3 years. *CROSS MY FINGERS* For your record, I had taken almost 600 photos with it hahaha… All the photos in this post were taken with my sis’ Olympus.

You can see some of my selected photos taken with my cameras in irenelaw.com

That’s all for the post today. Enjoy your day! Hehehe…

Sarawak ICT Expo 2008

Posted on By sweet surrender 15 Comments on Sarawak ICT Expo 2008

Went to Sarawak ICT Expo 2008 just few hours ago. Good thing I went today because I could take my sweet sweet time browsed tru’ all the booths that had the things that I needed. If I go tomorrow or Sunday, I don’t think we could even move fast and go back and forth of different booths many many times! 😛 Bargained and bargained, thanks to my sis and Jimmy else I’m hopeless in bargaining. I bought something!!! Tell you later about it hehehe…


They changed the way how you enter the hall which it’s better because it can reduce the congestion. One side in, one side out.


There are more space to move now compare to previously. But at the end of the hall, there is no way to make u-turn, they block it.


No show girls hahaha… 😛 However you can see many colours this year, I mean the uniforms hahaha…

TADA! SEE THIS?!?!

Will blog about it after my exam 😛 You can’t really bargain much for Canon cameras but you can ask them to give more free gifts. Good thing we went today, we could take our sweet sweet time making decision and bargain with them. No installment for cameras below RM1000.

I spent more than RM1K(camera-RM999 and dined out-RM10+) today -.-” I’m RM1K+ poorer now, then tomorrow I have to pay my next semester entrolment fee, which is RM300. After that, on Sunday, I need to go hunt for Cooler Master that costs RM100+ at PC Fair also because I didn’t bring enough cash today and many people told me to wait until Sunday to get cheaper price. *LOL* We’ll see by then, after exam maybe… OMG! Spend almost RM2K in just 3 days -.-“

Upgraded To WordPress 2.6

Posted on By sweet surrender 12 Comments on Upgraded To WordPress 2.6

Finally found a bit of time last night to upgrade my WordPress. I have about 5 more blogs that I haven’t update. Will upgrade again after moving those blogs to another server.

Love the word count feature. Don’t have to worry about how many words more to write when I write money posts hahaha…

I somewaht hate the autosave since the previous version. Sometimes I accidentally write my post in “Page” instead of “Post” and it just autosaved for me. Sigh… I don’t want to delete them because I don’t wan’t to lost count of my number of posts I’ve done throughout the lifetime of my blog. Therefore if I said that I had reached 1000 post, it means it’s really 1000, there’s never any deletion of post. Even if I accidentally created a wrong post or page, I would just make them my draft and replace it with other content next time.

“Post” is easy to replace but “Page” is pain in ass to replace. I always have to think of new page to used up the drafts I have in my WordPress. That explains why I have a Wish List, Affiliates, and Contacts. Hahahaha…

Now I have two more, what should I put for these two?!?! One is reserved for Advertise With Me. Another one? Will figure it out one day hahahah… My top navigation is almost full. By then I will have to move them down to sidebar or hmm… Don’t know yet.

Anyway, just a quick post today. Have to prepare for exam this coming Saturday. GOSH! So many things need to memorise -.-“
