Foursquare itu apa?

by chics on Wednesday, 6 October 2010 - 12 am · 14 comments

in how-to,internet thingy

Ok, few people have asked me what is Foursquare.

Foursquare is primarily for letting your friends know where you are and figuring out where they are. Secondarily, it’s for collecting points, prize “badges,” and eventually, coupons, for going about your everyday business. – source

Dalam erti kata lain, kau nak di kak nam kan, mana kau pergi, kau nak kasi orang tau.

Ok. that sounds weird sebab aku tak suka orang tau aku buat apa [eleh, macamlah kau erra fazira] tapi apa yang aku suka, you can collect badges.

Ada macam-macam badges, aku ni baru dapat kurang dari 0.001 % je kot haha. Kalau nak tahu apa badges yang ada, boleh tengok dekat sini.

And each time check in to a place akan dapat points, kalau kita add new place akan dapat extra point. Points tu buat apa pon aku tak sure, kalau boleh tukar dapat tv plasma pun takpela jugakkan hehe.

Other than that, you can mayors to places yang kaulah orang yang paling banyak pergi. Contohla, KFC shah alam, kalau kau pergi situ lebih dari foursquarer yang lain, then you’ll be the mayor.

Yang ni lebih kepada nak memoyo, tapi aku tak kesah sebab aku memang poyo pon haha. Best tau dapat jadi mayor lalu eksyen walaupunnn takde orang kesah hehe [gelak sedih].

Ok tetibe aku rasa takde motif menda ni tapi aku nak jugakkkkkkkkkkkkk. Maka baiklah kita teruskan.

How to login to Foursquare?

Unlike twitter and other social medias, you can’t logged in directly on Foursquare website. If you happen to be somewhere else with your laptop, then you can login using extensions developed for firefox or chrome macam foursquarefox atau extension dari chrome ini.

It will be easier if you install this app on your mobile phone.

But aku telah jumpa cara yang mudah untuk log in to Foursquare tanpa perlu install extension for browser dan kalau os phone kau takde special software [yang free!] macam telefon aku. Iaitu click sahaja ke www.foursquare.com/mobile.

You can also publish your updates to twitter and facebook [ much to people's annoyance-sorry can't help it :P]. Just click on the setting, scroll down and choose.

Benda ni fun kalau kau takde kerja macam aku, tapi tak fun bila

  1. Nak pergi berpoye-poye dengan scandal/kekasih gelap tanpa pengetahuan kekasih rasmi atau apa-apa yang rasmi.

    2. Memamngla boleh tak log in tapi kalau kau lagi satu kali log in nakjadi mayor or dapat special badge, tak ke cibai?

    Tapi dekat Foursqaure ni ada satu feature panggil “off the grid”, kira tak semua orang boleh tengokla. Cuma tak tahula boleh ke tak collect badges sebab aku tak penah try.

  2. Macam twitter, dia selalu down. Cuma takde gambar ikan paus yang kiut macam twitter.

  3. Repeated locations. Banyak gak yang dol tak nak check dulu dah adake belum location tu, main add new je. So bila kau nak log in macam confuse, eh mana satu ni and the next time nak log in tempat sama lagi confuse. Eh hari tu aku log in yang mana satu ye?

    4. Tsk.

  4. Banyak pentipu. Sebab nak collect badge punya pasal ada gakkk yang sanggup menipu.

    5. Macam sorang mamat ni,aku dah perasan dia ni muka bersepah foursqaure. Asal aku check in dekat Shah Alam, muka diaaaaaa jela yang jadi mayor. Tak kesahla tu, maybe dia kuat berjalan.

    Satu hari dia add aku, masa tu aku macam.. err..nak add ke tak ni? Satu- aku tak kenal dia siapa, Dua-agak fishyla dia ni, mayor to 67 places with 106 days out. Tapi aku add jugak.

    Lepas tuuuuuuuuuu dia pon startlaaa, merebut kemayoran aku. Tak kesahla, tapi nampak sangat menipu sebab kedai yang aku pegi tu kedai buat kek, jual barang-barang buat kek. Ok, maybe mak/kakak/gf/wife buat kek. Tapii kalau dah check in pukul 9.30 apa motif? Kedai tu tutup 6.30 ok.

    Lepas tu aku terus delete dia. Tak nakla main tipu, mainlah fair and square. Benda tak berfaedah pon nak tipu ke?

    Ok. maybe dia bebetul pergi situ and jahatnya aku main tuduh-tuduh tapi aku delete dia jugak sebab aku curiga dan eh kan aku jahat so sukati akula nak delete.

    Yang kau defensive ni kenapaaaa chicssssssssssss?Sheesh

Anyway, itulah serba sedikit tentang foursquare. Kalau nak main addlah saya.

Hihi

Quick UTI remedy

by chics on Friday, 1 October 2010 - 1 am · 18 comments

in how-to

UTI [urinary tract infection] and I have a love and hate relationship. I hate UTI but the UTI loves me. Not exactly love and hate relationship, I know but this how I want to put it hehe.

UTI is basically a bacterial infection that affects any part of the urinary tract.

The first time I got UTI was back in 2002, I didn’t know what it was, I only knew that I have this burning feeling when I pee. Macam kencing tak puas and the need to pee frequently where soon it turned to be an excruciating peeing experience. Rasa macam ada jarum-jarum menusuk lubang kencing bila kencing dan rasa kene tendang dekat bahagian bawah. And eventually I also peed blood.

To cut it short, rasanya macam sial. Kadang-kadang I have to grip something while peeing. Many said it was caused by sex but I had doctors who confirmed it that it was not the one and only penyebab.

So anyway, since the first attack I had many of that bloody UTI after that. Pernah sekali aku hampir pengsan sebab aku delay pergi klinik, masa tu aku nak ambik MUET so aku tak nakla pegi klinik, tau-tau masa MUET aku rasa nak tumbang.

Amaran, jangan buat macam tu sebab UTI boleh affect kidney.

One of the visits to the doctor also has resulted me to go through an X ray test sebab aku kene banyak kali benda ni takut there’s something wrong with my kidney. Tapi so far takde apa-apa unusual. And usually doctors will prescribed me with antibiotic and some serbuk thing to drink, yang paling senang nak jumpa dekat pharmacy is called Ural.

Few days ago, I experienced a familiar feeling. Rasa pedih sikit bila kencing and kencing tak puas. This is when I know that bloody UTI menyerang. My fault, aku dah beberapa hari minum air kosong not more than 2 glasses which is bad for such hot weather. Lepas tu I waited for few days sebab the attack was somewhat mild belum sampai tahan rasa kene tendang dekat pepet. Aku ingat menambahkan intake air suam boleh hilang tapi tak bolehh jugakkkkkkkk.

Padan muka, degil lagi.

That time, I didn’t have my car with me and I was too lazy to call a cab. So I decided to google for the remedy.

Most of the website suggested cranberry juice tapi dekat rumah aku takde and dari aku keluar pegi beli, baiklah aku pergi clinic terus kan. And then I found another remedy with something yang memang ada dekat rumah aku.

Baking soda or baking powder. This is because the baking powder could help to alkalise the urine.

So I tried.

I mix 1 teaspoon of baking powder with a glass of water and drank it. Rasa dia sebenarnya takdela teruk sangat [tapi agak terukla jugak sebenarnya hehe] tapi kaler dia yang keruh tu yang tak tahan. Reminded me of air lebihan basuh baju. Yucks.

I repeated it twice followed by many glasses of plain water.

And within 30 minutes the pain vanished. On my next visit to mengencing, I gritted my teeth waiting for the feeling burning but nothing came, the pain I mean.

Sangat cepat berbanding Ural yang berharga rm 16++. Haha dasar taik idung masin.

So yeah, it works! Wonders pulak tu [sukati je buat ayat macam ni haha].

Bagus, selain tak payah pakai baju pergi clinic, aku juga tak perlu telan banyak ubat dan save duit aku hahaha cheapskate.

The only thing is, based on my reading this method only works for mild UTI, kalau dah start berdarah and rasa kene rogol oleh 40 penyamun baiklah pergi ke klinik.

So the next time you have UTI yang baru nak start maybe you can consider this method.

I said maybe sebab aku sendiri pon tak tahu ada kesan sampingan ke tak hehe.

Baju turun kaler? Apaaaaaaaaa??

by chics on Tuesday, 28 September 2010 - 12 am · 34 comments

in how-to

Last week after collecting our baju from the laundry I reliased something, bedmate’s red safety jacket telah turun colour resulting few baju berwarna merah dan pink.

Apa yang menakutkan seluar salwar kameez bedmate which was white had turned into pink dan bercapuk-capuk. And my inner baju also dari putih telah bertukar menjadi pink bercapuk.

Look at the seluar and baju kecik dah jadi pink. The others terkene tompok-tompok

Kemak, I said, not knowing who the cursing was for.

I wanted to blame the laundry for not washing the whites seperately but then I don’t think that’s fair. I wanted to blame myself for being budak pemalas but ok I don’t want to blame myself haha.

Apa aku nak buat niiiiiii?Keji gila nak suruh bedmate pakai sluar pink, baju pink takpe lagi, sluar pinkkk? Memang menjurus ke aray ghey [abu dhabi guy pinjam ye hehe]. Lepas tu t-shirt muay thai pon dah jadi pink. Motif pakai t-shirt muay thai yang ala-ala ganas tapi kaler pink?

Takkan nak buang? Apa kau ingat kau anak Donald Trump nak main buang-buang?

And then I thought of something, something that I used to buy last time bila one of my fav baju terkena kaler biru.

Dylon Colour Run Remover

To find this dylon adalah agak menyakitkan jiwa because I had to go to subang to get it since Tesco or Giant didn’t carry this item. Yelakan kalau boleh nak beli benda nak basuh baju nak je aku pegi kedai mamak sebelah ni tapi masalahnya hanya Cold storage, Jusco [certain branch] and certain hardware shop yang jual.

After surveying the price I finally bought 1 at Jaya Grocer, cheaper by berapa tak ingat tapi memang murah sikitla berbanding Cold storage and the hardware shop yang aku pergi tu.

1 box contains 2 sachet and since I don’t have a washing machine [sobs] I have to wash the baju manually.

The sachet

The instructions goes something like this.

  1. Prepare some hot water  which was suitable according to the label baju. Eh ini bukan kalau Gucci temperature dia panas sikit, kalau cap ah seng panas gila ye tapi ikut the care instruction. Tapi aku main agak-agak jela, tak kuasala pulak aku nak cari thermometer kan.

    2. Air dia agak-agakla, asal boleh totally soak the baju dah cukup.

  2. Pour the run colour remover and stir

  3. Lepas tu masukkanla baju-baju tu, make sure semuanya dilemaskan [dilemaskan?], maknanya semua bawah air la [apala berbelit benar ayat aku ni?]

    Cara-cara melemaskan baju

  4. Soak for at least 1 hour tapi have to stir regularly. Ni umpama mesin tangan manual ok, kene kacau pakai tangan. Cacat haha

  5. Lepas tu rinse throughly , wash and rinse as usual

First time aku buat, baju lain dah ok tapi yang putih tu degil sikit. Dah tak bertompok but still pink yang agak obvious. Dulu dia ada run colour remover for white tapi sekarang ada satu je boleh guna untuk coloured and white jadi macam kurang best.

So I cheated by soaking them again with Dylon Ultra Whitener, yang ni takde gambar sebab aku dah malas nak ambik but it helps, the pink colour faded.

The result

The muay thai t-shirt regain its machoness, the baby t dah boleh pakai tapi tunggu aku kururs sikit [hoh!], the brown tube regained its colour back, t-shirt brown pon dah brown balik takdela pink tersentil sana-sini and the white inner [spaghetti strap] pon dah ok, cuma the seluar adalah sedikit shy-shy pig. But I have to say there’s some improvement dari sebelumnya. Dia macam ghey ala-ala lite gitu.

Okla tu dari pink yang menjerit  ”SELUAR PINK! SELUAR PINK!”.Yang ni stok bisik-bisik punya “psst..pstt seluar pink” hehe.

Oh ye abaikan lipatan baju macam orang yang tak berjari itu [bak kata mak aku].

Seriously, if you encountered any colour run, try this product tapi colour run mestilah baru kalau lama mungkin tak berapa nak jalan.

At the end of the day, aku sangat bangga, melipat baju sambil memuji diri sendiri.

Haha
