    A short story on a devoted Boyfriend

    Posted under Personal

     

    a day in the life of a very "devoted" boyfriend sms-ing his girlfriend while he’s oversea:
    1st sms - once he woke up, he sms her
    2nd sms - while eating buffet breakfast in hotel he sms his gf
    3rd sms - just before lunch
    4th sms - on the way to Cxxxxx
    5th sms - shopping in SP
    6th sms - he arrived in the hotel
    7th sms - while eating seafood dinner
    8th sms - just after he bathed
    9th sms - just before he goes to bed
    10th sms - the girl finally replied, so he had to reply her sms.
     
    i would probably give up after the 3rd sms if there’s no reply. :D

    BBQ 14 June 2009 @ Pasir Ris Park

    Posted under Hooby, Personal

    Had our family gathering BBQ yesterday at Pasir Ris Park. Pit costs $20! didn’t know it is so expensive.

    This is by far the best BBQ because of the food we had. No burnt food this time. The last BBQ i had with my relatives was a nightmare (2yrs ago)! One guy occupied the pit and BBQ everything….. and he sucks at it.. all the food ended up burnt. And he didn’t eat any of the stuff he bbq and left! We could only bbq whatever was left uncooked…

    No such problem this time, because the guy is long gone. doubt he will appear again. cheers.

    Pre-Trip Photos

    Posted under Personal, USA Trip 2009

    Started packing bag already… seems like a lot of things to pack. afraid of forgetting anything.

    Google keeps running about, seriously wonder if he knows what is happening… somehow believe he could sense we are gonna go away for a while. Maybe that’s why he is enticing us to play with him.

    Lazy to pack already, so here i am posting photos. shall continue tomorrow

    Lunch Treat

    Posted under F&B, Hooby, Personal, Woofy

    Treated my mum to lunch at soup restaurant. All 3 of us are so silly as we didn’t read the T&C of the voucher we planned to use. Voucher is not allowed to be used when ordering set meal menu! Damn. end up pay full price. Food portion is small, and the chicken is the best. The rest are pretty standard and could give a miss. Just eat the chicken!

    JB Short trip

    Posted under F&B, Hooby, Personal, Woofy

    Checked causeway traffic at around 2pm. Bad jam…. so went to nap… checked the traffic again at 3+pm. looks slightly better so we tried our luck.

    Kranji station was not crowded. Bus 170 queue was very short but the bus that came were quick packed. We were the last 2 to get on board and had to stand on the steps. Singapore custom was a breeze because of bus lane! yeah so much faster than all u private cars.

    Then we spent 30mins on bus 170 to reach malaysia customs. Good thing we had a seat. A blessing for us. Getting our passport stamped was not long, and so we reached city square at around 430pm. Bought movie ticket for Angels & Demons. Woofy couldn’t understand the story la! Good thing i did. Not a must-catch movie. Can do without….

    As we were quite full, we only bought 1 mcdonald meal for dinner. Both of us bought shoes! RM70 and RM15! After the movie, it was around 10pm. and we reached Kranji at around 1045pm. Next time we shall go in the morning for the chicken chop that i wanted to try………..

    [Mod] NextGen Plugin combined with Geotag Plugin

    Posted under Personal

    Download the combined plugin here

    Geotag plugin - allows tagging of photos on the world map based on the coordinates of  the photo taken. this plugin allows wordpress user to display a map on their blog entry and it will tag any photos in the same entry that has GPS coordinates

    NextGen plugin - a gallery plugin for wordpress for display lots and lots of photos easily. photos are category into different gallery and it comes with a unique flash based player for viewing the photos as a slideshow.

    The original Geotag plugin only includes pictures that are added to each blog post like this taylor swift image below. Adding such picture is slow because i have to upload each pic one at a time. even if i ftp all photos to the server, i still have to paste the url. So i need to find a way for it to tag pictures that are added via NextGen plugin.

     

    The nextgen gallery is shown below and i was able to upload all the pics within seconds and i just have to add the gallery id into this post and the gallery will be visible below. My mod makes geotag plugin read all the thumbnails in the gallery below and if it finds gps coordinates in the thumbnail, it will display the thumbnails on the gmap below.

    Initially, all thumbnails of the original photos uploaded via nextgen will be stripped off its EXIF data. The full EXIF is present in the full size photo but not the thumbnail! no thanks to php GD…without exif data, the thumbnail do not have GPS coordinate. without GPS coordinate, geotag cannot tag the pics to the map. I changed some nextgen codes to use PEL so that it can add in the original EXIF data into the thumbnail. Next i edited Geotag plugin to process the thumbnails and eventually they will be displayed on the map. Maybe i should release this as a full plugin and release it to wordpress plugin website? Look at the google map below!
