reality really bites

your sites.

The two hard drives of one of my webhosts’ server died.

And me being me, have no backups of course. I don’t back up and even if I do, I do it sporadically. My last backup was over a year ago. Ha ha.

This is not the first time something like this happened to me.

But I never learn.

What to do.

————————————————————-

I actually wrote a few sentence about blog advertorials here but after I finished writing, I don’t feel bitchy anymore.

Oh well.

————————————————————-

Also, I’ve been thinking of restoring my archives (I have the sql database).

That is, if I can actually figure out where the hell did I save it.

But I probably won’t do it lar. (talk like no talk)

Ho ho ho.

I’ve always thought bokeh means idiot or something like that.

But today, I found out it is a term to describe certain kind of photographs!

And I realised, I’ve been taking bokeh pictures without knowing it!

In simple terms, you know those pictures where the foreground is sharp while the background is blur? That, is called bokeh.

Hahaha

No I’m not kidding.

So here are my bokeh pictures! Taken with my almost dead canon ixus 30, 3 years ago. No photoshopping or anythiing. Just plain resizing.

#1

#2 - I think some of you have seen this one before.

#3

#4 - The center is sharp.

Who needs a one grand AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G when a plain old ixus can do the job?
Hehehe

Though I admit the pictures aren’t that sharp, but hey this is the ixus without any manual controls.

Wait till I get my hands on the Ixus 980 IS or if I ever do.

My two best boy friends left for greener pastures couple of months ago. I don’t think I miss them per se, but rather doing things with them but that would count as missing them as well right and I’m only saying this because they will never read this.

Anyway, lately the first thing I do when I wake up and switch on the laptop is to read this site. Actually I don’t know why I’ve been reading such news because I won’t be affected if the KLSE crashes or anything. Not badly affected at least. But due to some plans I have, I’m obviously worried and then next thing you know there will be some crazy ideas spinning in my head.

I did some calculations the other day (but then again my math damn bad so don’t know if it’s correct or not la hor) and found out that 4% of my net worth is invested in KLSE. Is 4% a lot? Well, I guess that would depend on my total net worth which I’m obviously not going to divulge here or anywhere for that matter.

But if you insist,

I’m priceless wahahaha.

Anyway 4% in KLSE and maybe a few % (too lazy to calculate) in precious metals.

I’ve been reading what the so-called “experts” think we should do and most of them suggested investing in equities or financial stocks.

Me?

I say keep all your money under your pillow dude.

But then again, I’m not them multi billionaires.

Maybe that’s why I’m not.

P/S: I’m keeping an eye on Genting and PBB. PBB is still VERY EXPENSIVE. As for Genting, it’s kinda cheap now but I want it cheaper and I’m willing to wait.

Actually, I just want the house prices here to drop la (pardon the expletive, wah since when I’m so polite mwahaha) so I can you-know-what.

And just in case you’re reading this - Yes I miss you. XOXO.

Nope, I didn’t just say that.
