You Can Listen To The Radio Online!

Hah! It never worked for me last time but now that I've tried it, it works! Yahoooo! One of my lecturers once asked my class if anyone listened to radio online. Unfortunately, as much as I'd like to raise my hand, I couldn't cos I don't listen to the radio online. I only listen to downloaded music online! Well, now if anyone asks, I can proudly say 'Yes!'.

How do you do it? Listen to the radio online. Just now I decided to check out Fly FM (I prefer this station rather than Hitz) to see if there is anything interesting. I clicked on 'Listen Online'.






Then, you'll be brought here:





You have 3 ways of listening to Fly FM online.
  1. Fly FM Radio Player 1.1
  2. Windows Media Player
  3. Quick Time Player

The URLs for you to insert in your WMA or Quick Time are given there on the page. So, just copy and paste and click 'Ok' and you're ready to listen to your favourite music online anytime, anywhere! Well, the sound quality isn't as good as a normal radio but still, it's music, you know.

Anyway, have fun!



P.S. I know the pictures are small but click on them and they'll be bigger. =)

I Read So Slow...

How long do you take to finish up a book? 3 days? 4? A week? Or maybe 20 minutes if you can speed read, though I find it is utterly impossible to finish a 200 over pages book in 20 minutes and understanding it at the same time.

I was just visiting other book bloggers' blogs and I'm truly amazed at how many books they can read in such a short time. Almost 200 books read in a year??? Wow, now that is a record. So, it's like 16 books a month, around 4 books a week. Where on earth did they find the time to read so much???

What about me? Sorry! I don't have much time to even finish up ONE book a week let alone 4 books a week. I still have a number of new books on my shelves waiting to be read. Calling out to me to read them and review them. Hah! I don't need to buy anymore books this year 2008...though I'll try to resist buying anymore books! But I really want to read The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray. Really want to know what happens to Gemma Doyle and friends.

Also, I still haven't read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince yet either. Am I terrible or what? Everyone has to be probably sick of the 7th book and here I am, still in the Dark Ages.

Ah, what to do, what to do...I guess the only thing left to do now is to read, read, read during my holidays!!! Haha! Happy Holidays and Happy Chinese New Year!

Holiday Time!

Uh, not really lah, I guess since I'm planning to catch up on my reading during this one week of holiday, which is in conjunction with Chinese New Year. My friends went back home yesterday already. I couldn't rush home yet cos I had Spanish class today. But after the class, it was time to pack my stuff and head off home!

I have tons of readings to read and I'm still behind in my book reading. I know, I know, there haven't been any new reviews lately...just been so, so, so busy! Busy doing what, I have no idea. Busy wasting my time I guess!

I have an assignment due right after my holidays and I just found a book in my library but I'm not in campus anymore! How am I going to get that book from the library??? If only I had found it earlier, then I would have borrowed it before going home. I don't know when the library is open and when they are going to close. Ah...macam mana???

Also, there are not many sponsored posts for me to write anymore. There are NONE available for me! So sad...no income for a while...even though it's a little but it's still some income! Hehe...

Okay, it's late now....12.25 a.m.. Good night!

Things Are Not What They Seem

Were you attracted to Acmamall's latest promotion where you can get 50% off for your second purchase? That's what they said: 50% off every 2nd item purchased.

So I thought that I'd choose a book that costs RM17.50. Then, the second item that I'd choose would be Libba Bray's The Sweet Far Thing, which cost around RM70+++. I thought it will be in sequence, like the second item that I click to buy will be discounted. Hah! I thought the Libba Bray book would be sold at half price since they said that I'll get a 50% off my second item.

Then I entered the promotional code and checked the total amount. It was still around RM70+++. I thought that my sequence in clicking was wrong. So I removed the items in my basket and clicked again. This time, I click Libba Bray's book first and then only I clicked on the cheaper book. The items were arranged in alphabetical order and Libba Bray's book was number 1.

No matter what sequence it was, the total price was still RM70 over. Then, I went over to the FAQ section or somewhere else that the item that will be given the 50% discount would be the CHEAPER book. Now how about that?

I knew it was too good to be true. And no way am I gonna pay RM70 for the new Libba Bray book. It's too expensive for a student like me. I'll wait and see if any bookstores are having a sale or something.

See? Things aren't always what they seem to be.

I Can Swim!

Just got back from a rather miserable dinner at Tesco. I had murtabak and orange juice.


This murtabak is just an example. It's not the one that I ate.


Murtabak = RM3.50 and not worth it! I prefer the murtabak from the nasi kandar restaurant in my uni and it's cheaper there too! I'm getting sick of Tesco food already but then, car park at Tesco is free and easy. If I wanted decent Chinese economy rice food, I'll have to walk a little further.

Anyway, I can swim with the board! No, I'd sink without the board. I just realized that when kicking, I'd have to kick out really hard so as to push myself forward. Hah, why didn't anyone tell me that before? All this while, I was doing the 'frog style' kicking wrong. The other swimming beginners could already swim with the board but I was still struggling. Hah! Now, I can swim with the board, too!!! I was so happy when I found myself finally moving to further places in the water.

Well, tomorrow's Thaipusam. I've never been to a Thaipusam event before. But, I guess it'll be very crowded tomorrow. One of my lecturers even encouraged us to go and see everything for ourselves. He even reminded us to bring along our cameras so we can snap lots of memorable pictures!

To know more about what Thaipusam is all about, where Thaipusam is held in Penang, and what do they do, click here. THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED POST.

And tomorrow, NO CLASSES!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!
