Since the day I had the Klang ‘special’ bak kut teh I was dying to try the Puchong dry-style bak kut teh for comparison. So last week after running some errands on a typical Saturday morning, eatgod and I decided to stop by Yap Chuan DRY bak kut teh for lunch.
Upgraded To WordPress 2.8.5 And…
I upgraded to WordPress 2.8.5 for the security fix recently and the next thing I knew was my layout was all haywire and my feeds don’t work anymore!
I am trying to resolve it as soon as possible and I’ll share my findings here ;)
*Update – Apparently there were white spaces in my feed making it invalid. I got rid of it by following these instructions . Cool!

Some Friday Funnies
Here are some jokes kick-start your weekend!
Top Joke in Australia
A young man went to his father one day to tell him that
he wanted to get married.
His father was happy for him. He asked his son who the
girl was, and he told him that it was Samantha, a girl from
the neighborhood.
With a sad face the old man said to his son,
”I’m sorry to say this son but I have to. The
girl you want to marry is your sister, but please don’t tell your mother.”
The young man again brought three more names to his
father but ended up frustrated because the response was
still the same.
So he decides to go to his mother.
”Mom I want to get married but all the girls that
I love, dad said they are my sisters and I mustn’t tell you.”
His mother smiling said to him,
”Don’t worry my son, you can marry any of
those girls. You’re not his son.

The Girl Who Silenced The World For 5 Minutes
The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes – this YouTube clip popped up in one of my Facebook feeds. It is about the degrading environment and what our governments are NOT doing to prevent it. For the delegates, listening to it is just like a smack to the face. They must be thinking that environmental issues are trivial and there are more important issues at hand but what they do not realize is that without Mother Earth, there will be no more governments and no issues left for them to bicker about.

ahyen Almost Died…
My blog – not me – but it was close enough.
I accidentally deleted my posts especially those of late. I really felt heartbroken as it took me a lot of effort to edit the photos, add the effects and the hardest part was to pen them in a nice and presentable manner. If they were really lost, all those comments by my friends would have been gone as well T_T.
The last time something like this happened, I practically gave up on blogging. I went into like blogging hibernation and took me quite a while to start back up again. For something like this to happen yet again to me was 10% bad luck and I guess 90% stupidity (yes most of it is my own fault for messing with the settings before backing up my data).
Luckily for me exabytes always backs up their database and their online support was top notch! They helped me recover most of my posts and I only lost 1 draft copy.
I am very thankful to chiaoju for recommending exabytes and not some crappy online web hosting service. The lesson learnt here is of course…
No 1 – Backup all your posts frequently
&
No 2 – Sign up to a reliable online web hosting service
because life is like a box of chocolates :) it is better to be safe than sorry.
P/S: Nope this is not a recruitment drive for exabytes.
