When apple released their iOS4, I thought it was cool to run the new operating system on my iPOD touch 2G. None of my friends wanted to flash the new OS but me. I took the risk to flash it and had it jailbroken 2 weeks later. Then things started to get worse.
My ipod touch had inevitably rebooted itself a few times due to low memory
There is a latency in between the switching of songs in the music player
Battery life really sucked to the max
Lagginess in playing games
And many other more…
So about 4 weeks ago, I was looking for a cure in Google to downgrade this highly anticipated OS back to 3.1.3 but to no avail. All of the methods found in Google required me to have the SHSH of the ipod touch before flashing it to iOS4. This was a no-return step. If you have not backed up your SHSH to saurik’s server after u jailbreak in iOS3.1.2 or 3.1.3, you will never ever be able to get the SHSH back. I was fucking cursing and swearing.
Then a white holy light came and gave me an optimal solution for this situation. It is STILL POSSIBLE for you to downgrade your iOS4 back to 3.1.3 WITHOUT YOUR SHSH if you can find the custom firmware to flash it. You need to have LibUSB installed (64bit go google for a tutorial), then google for a custom firmware and flash it. If you encounter error 21 or 16xx, dont worry.. just keep on trying to flash! (thats what I did). You can find a full tutorial in redmondpie..
And a disclaimer yet, although I have used the method.. it was at my own risk as well… im not responsible for your bricked device if you did not follow the right instructions.
One of the night sister came running into my room and shout ‘HEY! CLICK FIVE IS COMING TO SG!’ and ima like ‘WTF!? WHEN!? HOW MUCH!?’ She then told me that only exclusive invites and we need to get the invites by buying a Samsung phone so without further ado, we checked everyone’s mobile plan and see who’s plan is expiring soon then we went over to buy a Samsung Galaxy S the next day – thats right, just for the pair of tickets! After reaching there, then we realise that its actually opened to public as well but just the that public seats are really quite back so thank god we had the VIP tickets. By 8.30pm, the organisers saw that the seats for the VVIP are not evern 20% filled, so they decided to ‘upgrade’ VIP seats to VVIP! which made every crazy clickfive fans running to the front to get the seats!
And thats how I got a good view to take photos =) Free VVIP seats!
Could not find any related video online for the concert so got to use this commercial to do an intro:
As a matter of fact, I have been an avid listener of his music since 1994s (when I was in primary school and had crushes on a few girls in my class) Oh yea, so I have been emo-ing since I was way younger ROFL. Nonetheless, when I heard that hes coming to Singapore again, not part of any of his album promotion but for his past 20years of effort in the music industry, I knew I had to go for this 1. @princesspinky89 bought the tickets for me secretly and surprised me with it I was fking delighted!
So on his concert, he sang most of his old billboard hits such as ‘Kwan Rong’, ‘Guo Huo’, ‘Xin Yang’, ‘Cong Yi Kai Shi Dao Xian Zai’, ‘Ai Ru Chao Shui’, ‘Tai Xiang Ai Ni’.. He is very well known for his love song hits.. Most of the KTV go’ers knows him even if they dont know him back in 1990s.
Attended the FIR concert with @princesspinky89 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. The performance was fantastic and awesome!! She had a very good vocal and stamina and together with the 2 other members, they rocked the stage so hard that it gave all of us a wonderful and unforgettable night. Their song list includes a number of their billboard hits such as Fly Away, Lydia, Revolution, Qian Nian Zhi Lian and etc. Another thing that struck me was she did a cover of another song by the name of ‘in the arms of an angel’, I have never heard this song before but when I heard her sing, I just feel like letting my emotions go.. Heres a short recorded segment of her cover:
In the Arms of an Angel
Arms of an Angel by Sarah McLachan & Josh Groban:
FIR concert featuring guest, Sun Yanzi Stephanie who also sang Venus and Wo Bu Nan Guo in the concert..
Could have taken more photos at the concert but was stopped by the crews (instead of security) and I had to spoke to the supervisor so that I dont have to place my expensive equipment in their incompetent plastic lockers. By placing my camera in their lockers, I have to ensure that I dont lose the keys (myself) and worry about my equipment because its out of my sight! I really condemn Singapore Indoor Stadiums for their security policies. Places like D’marquee and Singapore Expo dont even restrict you from bringing DSLR in. This is freedom. Afterall, everyone who paid for the concert expects to bring some memories home so thats why we bring a DSLR to capture the moments. I’m not the only 1 whining about the Singapore Indoor Stadium policies. Infact, everytime there is a concert at the indoor stadium, I would think thrice whether to attend the concert. Ofcourse, we’re there to support the singers and watch their live performances but thinking about the policies just irks me.
I’ve got more Jays photo to share but they’re not sharp and clear =( All thanks to the hide&seek game I was playing with the crews. Nonetheless, I had enjoyed myself alot in the concert. And by the way, this is the first time I attended a FULL HOUSE concert in Singapore! Very very full! And so full, he had to do 3 concerts to fulfill most of our desires! He’s fucking fantastic. Anyways, here are some videos done by @princesspinky89:
Decision making, just 2 words, which means to make a decision. Whether you like it anot, regret it anot, you have to choose something that affects your life now or in future.
Yesterday, or should I say since last week, I was put to another decision making dilemma. There were a variety of choices and each choice, inevitably, may affect my future career and which industry do I want to progress. And ofcourse, we all know that this degree, afterall, is just a paper and everything you learn may not be applied to your future work. Like it anot, we may have to work on a job that may be out of our expertise as well.
So the school was quite strict, there wasn’t much choice for me this semester except to take the advance networking course and network security course, try to clear up all my redundant electives and endure for another 1.5years before Im ready to work in the society.
I often thought myself as either a Photographer, a Police Officer or a Infomation Systems Manager/Engineer. I might be taking CCNA/CCNP in the near future, at least before I graduate so that I can stand a better chance to other candidates for application to a job. For the first 2 jobs, it’s a definitely no-no for my girl because a photographer works both day and night, rushing assignments and police officer is just too much of a risk for me.
Anyway, my application for an accommodation hall in the next semester had failed me. Despite having almost the highest cutoff point, the school committee has decided to ‘up’ the standard because there were just too many students with that highest cutoff point, and that is totally so unfair. I’m trying to see if I can get myself a temporary van or car to last for the next 1.5years so that I can still drive to school/work and avoid those ‘heavy-smoker’ smell commuters; they makes me suffocate and nauseous on the train! And my lessons may start at 12.30pm and ends at 830pm everyday. Yes thinking of that too, irks me.
I never thought that I would ever see an accident right infront of me and today I did and right infront of my naked eyes. The car infront of me was trying to move out into the opposite lane on a T-junction. However, there was a traffic light at another junction so the car was waiting for some clearance at the junction box before he moves out. A class 4 lorry then came and stopped at the junction box, allowing the car to move out to the opposite road. When the car was moving out slowly from the junction box, then came a few motorcycles in slow speed and they didnt know that there is a car coming out because it was blocked by the lorry. The car also did not know about the existence of the motorbikes, so he slowly moved out. In a split second, 1 motorbike which was the first to cross the junction box missed by a few inches from the car, just that few inches. Then another motorbike was less fortunate. She wasnt able to stop in time and the accident was in a split second. Her front wheel hit onto the car’s front right wheel gap, which caused tremendous impact on her bike and body. She was thrown almost 180degrees onto the front of the car bonnet and fell to the ground immediately.
Other then the driver who hit her, I came out from my vehicle to help her as well. I have a first aid cert on hand, it is my duty to ensure that she is safe and sound. Then I called the emergency hotline for ambulance which took them about 10mins because of traffic congestions during that peak period. The police officers came down in a swift moment to provide support for the victim and stabilizing the traffic condition. Then I left my statement and particulars and left the place.
During that period, ofcourse there were hundred pairs of eyes looking at us and noone volunteered/offered to help in any way =/ Really disappointed with the people. But again, who would want to poke their noses into this kind of thing? When garment says give money, everyone wants to take. When someone have accident, you see until happy liao walk away~ That is life =(
I dont want to see this kind of accident anymore. Please.
After struggling for hours with @princesspinky89 at sistic website again, we finally got a pair of tickets at Cat 4 ($138). It may not be the best seats or the preferred Cat (we were hoping for Cat 3!) but its definitely better than nothing.
This time round, its not @princesspinky89 that wanted to go, and instead it was me who insisted that we should watch this long anticipated concert of the year! I’m very curious about the crowd and WHY, is everyone else, so crazy about Jay’s concert.
The ticket sales this time round is still limited to OCBC card holders, so its really unfair to those people who do not own an OCBC card (finally I feel proud to own 1 now.) Still, the tickets were near sold-offs within 2 hours. There were certain point of where the website showed only single seats available in all category.
Would Jay Chou & organisers open 1 more show? The chances are low I guess, who would know a small red dot like Singapore has got so many supporters but they cant apprehend to everyones liking. Part of marketing is that if you can satisfy everyone’s demand then the next concert everyone will be expecting the same thing; i.e. they will open more and more shows to satisfy the crowd. Look from the point of a restaurant as well, if your restaurant is crowded, you can’t add in more seats and tables just because you want more sales. Also note about the comfortability of other customers and space constraints. You really cant satisfy everyone.
And for sistic, if your I.T department haven’t told you about this, its time for you to replace them. You should implement a tunnelling VPN for all your service counter and telephone service computers so that they dont get jammed up along with your web server running on IIS. And set priority on IIS to allow your intranet to book before the others, whats the point of us going to your counter/calling you and you keep telling us you share the same system as us and the web server is not responding -_-. And do some load-balancing farm for your webservers.
Now I gota bring DSLR into there and hopefully dear allow me to rent a 70-200L IS lens to bring there
Me: “Could you please provide us with details of what elements you would like to be included on the homepage so our designers know what they need to include.”
Client: “Sure, the site needs to be Professional, Clean/Crisp, Global, Proactive, Eco-Friendly and Dynamic. Hope that helps!”
I missed those days watching this series on the coach of my house. Still as classic and as hilarious! Look at Pierre Png and Irene! They look so different now!
I was fking delighted!
