Cookie Rookie, I Was In Top 5

Posted on June 22, 2008June 22, 2008 By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Cookie Rookie, I Was In Top 5

Hehehe… Remember I blogged about king.com previously? I did tell you that I like the game called Cookie Rookie. I played many times and never reach 70,000 mark. Then two weeks ago, I wasn’t plan to break any record or anything, I just clicked on the jackpot tournament and played like usual. Who knows this time I actually managed to hit the 100,000 mark! Unbelievable! I didn’t expect I could hit that level!


For the first time I saw something different, a huge gold cupcake fell to the table but it looks like you-know hahaha… I got the Best Baker award!! Hahaha…


Another surprise was that I didn’t expect that I could get into the top 5, I was in the 4th place. WOW! Unbelievable! However, later it dropped but still maintained in the top 10 until the time of the tournament ended. I was awarded with lots of jewels(300+ of them if not mistaken) and I managed to advance to the next jewel level which I didn’t expect I would be able to do so in just 2 days.

It’s so addictive 😛 However, I don’t think I can go till this level again hehehe… It’s all by luck, so better screen capture and blog about it 😛

I Overheat My XPS M1530!

Posted on June 18, 2008June 18, 2008 By sweet surrender 17 Comments on I Overheat My XPS M1530!

I’m on XPS now!! Actually can use yesterday already 😛 Only update now hahaha…

The tech support came to fix it at 11.30am-1.30pm, yesterday. He unscrewed everything and replaced the motherboard. There’s some scratches but not so bad, the deepest is the one near the XPS logo near the on/off button… Oh well… What to do? This design is different from normal laptop, it’s not easy to take out everything. Want to see the parts? 😛 I took some photos when he dismantled everything, didn’t take all because I didn’t want to disturb him working *LOL* Just took some that were closer to me.


The “dead” motherboard.


One unknown part and DVD drive.


The scratch. Poor baby… *sob sob*

All photos taken with my phone 😛

The verdict!?!? OVERHEAT!!! WAH PIANG! For the first time I used a laptop until overheat! Motherboard replaced. I’m only using it for about 2 months and I heated it up so badly! 😛 I guess I’m too hot for the laptop to handle *LOL*

I know this model heat up very fast from the reviews I read, I didn’t expect I could actually kill it in such short span of time. I still can’t believe what I did! Hahaha… I think I have to go out and hunt for a fan for it *LOL* Else we’ll be seeing another overheat episode from Sweet Surrender and I will become Dell’s regular customer for motherboard replacement, sure will get blacklist :P.

My 1001th Post

Posted on June 17, 2008November 21, 2008 By sweet surrender 7 Comments on My 1001th Post

It’s my 1001th post for using WordPress!!! *CLAP CLAP CLAP* 😛 My 1000th post is taken up by a sponsor hahaha… So I can only announce it on my 1001th post *LOL*

I hope the tech support from Dell will come today… I hope it can be fixed on the spot. All my latest data are in there, I can’t do much with my old laptop except doing things that I have copies online, those not stored online, it’s all in XPS. *SWEAT*

On this 1001th post, I’m going to tell you that I’m jinxed to the max!! Sigh… Every single gadget that is belonged to me and bought by me will sure have problem during its lifetime. This XPS is less than 3 month old only ok?!?!? Don’t ask me to go into the BIOS, I totally cannot even see a startup screen, how to go into BIOS? It happened after Windows update. It must be caused by the stupid Windows update. Just one update and that’s it, how “lucky” am I? I hope I’m not going to be charged with maintenance fee later. I hope they will come today! Must come today!!! Else I’m going to file a complain because the tech support told me yesterday that he’ll “most probably” send one over today. Do they keep their words or not? I’m not so sure with the “most probably” hmm…

So far, Dell tech support is good but their warranty team and customer service team are BAD! I was asking about extended warranty and it took them more than one week to reply me after I pressured the tech support team for the extended warranty quotation. Then when I got it, I have some parts that I’m not so sure and want to seek clarificiations but no respond from them for more than two weeks. During this period of time, I sent 4 e-mails containing the same questions and the quotation expired also.

Then I decided to just take up the offer given in the quotation that it will upgrade my current warranty and extend my warranty for another 2 years. I e-mailed them again asking whether the quotation still valid or not but no respond at all!!! How am I going to pay you when you don’t repsond to me?!?! I don’t want to pay and then later telling me that the quotation is no longer valid and need me to add on money for it again! This is so not right. Till now, I’m still stuck with this one year limited warranty thanks to the warranty team! “Lucky” me, there’s a problem now! If they are going to charge me for it, I will going to make sure Dell is going to compensate me for all the stress and time wasted! How am I going to do it? Blog big big about it? 😛 I don’t know… It’s not like I’m having 10K visitors per day hahaha…

We’ll wait and see… Still waiting for the tech support call to come over. Hmmm…

Let’s see how bad I’m jinxed:
1. My first laptop, Toshiba (don’t remember the model but it was pretty high end that cost about RM5K+), it “electrocuted” me whenever I typed. -.-” At the end, they refunded me fully as they cannot replace it, the model was no longer in production and it’s a factory defect, that’s what they said. All happened in 2 weeks time.

2. My second laptop, the one I’m using now, NEC also cost RM5K but slightly few hundreds cheaper than Toshiba with specification so much lower than Toshiba gave me problem in less than one week with the screen! My screen was “sliced” into half by a vertical blue line -.-” Sent it to repair. Two weeks later, it’s done but there were huge ugly scratches on my casing, it was so ugly! I demanded them to replace the whole unit to me but they said they could only change new casing for me. It took them another 2 weeks or so because they need to ship the casing over.

3. My home PC, I decided on the specs and it gave problem too not long after we used it.

4. My current camera, Canon Ixus i zoom, battery contact problem ever since the first time I used. Solved and using it until now. More than 2 years already.

5. XPS… Elaborated just now.

All these are the gadgets I owned so far since 2003. At least my mobile phone never give me any problem. I only have 2 mobile phones so far. My previous Canon Ixus was OK too because it’s not bought by me and I’m not the one choosing it also.

That’s why if people ask me to recommend eletronical gadgets, I won’t say too much. I never want to help anyone buy any gadget also. I’m very “lucky” with them *LOL* Hmm… Next time my DSLR, I think I better don’t go buy it myself, I’ll ask people to help me buy hahaha…

King.com, My Current Obsession…

Posted on June 11, 2008June 11, 2008 By sweet surrender 11 Comments on King.com, My Current Obsession…

Hehehe… I have a bit of free time lately but I always tell many people that I’m busy. In fact I was busy and since now I have some extra time to relax, I played games 😛 As I don’t think I will have much free time starting next week. Assignments, classes and works would be taking up most of my time. So I took this opportunity to play as much as I like.

This is not paid!! I stumbled upon King.com few months back when I was looking for some new games such as Diner Dash, Fab Fashion and so on in Yahoo. I registered this account for fun and played some games in there. It’s quite fun and relaxing. Then I forget about it for few months. Until lately I decided to log in again to release some stresses.


You can make your own avatar. There are many types of games available and I’m so engrossed with Cooke Rookie 😛


Manage to win lots of jewels from Cookie Rookie. It’s so nice to win hehehe… Seeing your avatar smilling face after the win just make you want to play more. BEWARE! It’s really addictive because you want to progress to higher level and unlock those features, extra accessories or components for your avatar. Seeing the jewels fall into the cylinder will give you a sense of success 😛 The more the more satisfactions you’ll get hahaha…

There are various tournaments. You can choose any tournament that you want to play, almost all of them are free, means no jewel needed. You just play and if you win you will be awarded with jewels.


I didn’t expect to reach Topaz level in 3 days hehehe… Each level will let you unlock a feature and each feature has cute animation hehehe… You have to reach them to see them. It’s so cute!! The one ou see here is the feature for “Send Challenges”.

Beware not to click ont he Royal Games because I didn’t know and I loss 20 jewels of mine!! You’ll be playing the games to win more jewels with the jewels you have. If you don’t want to loss your jewels, then don’t go there.

By the way, if you notice I blurred my name? 😛 That’s because I don’t want you to know my username for this account, it’s a nickname I used when I don’t want people to know who I am. Go figure 😛 Want to join? Tell me, I will send you an invitation because I want to earn some jewels!! 😛

Blogging since 2002. Anything before 2006 is no longer available. It is no longer on this server. Back then, I built my own blog and updated it using HTML. No database or anything. Only started blogging fully with a CMS in 2006. However, whatever was on the Internet will stay on the Internet. So... It should be still somewhere on the Internet. Then again... Why do you want to dig that far?
