Farewell 2006; Hello 2007!!!





It's the end of 2006, and welcomes the fresh new start of 2007! Wow, seriously, cepat sunggoh masa berlalu kan? Like, I thought it was like only yesterday jer kite celebrated 2006 January 1st, kan? Dahhh masuk 2007 pulak katanya - dasyat sunggoh masa berlalu...

Initially this entry dah di buat at 00:00:01, January 1st, 2007. But it was just an entry with that pic of myself wishing Happy New Year 2007, and that was it. Ok, so as promised, entry ini akan di updated-kan katanya, kan? So mrasa. Mek nak update siket...

Nothing much nak diupdatekan pon - nope, not telling how I celebrated new year ke ape ke - maybe next time, next entry. So apanye yang mek nak update dalam entry nih? Aha - as usual. AZAM TAHUN BARU! Mati la azam tahun lepas mek tak brapa ingat dah ape nye! LOL!

So what will it be, semangat dan azam tahun baru for me utk 2007? :) Here's the list...
  1. To not maintain my weight - (no, am not saying am gonna get fat again! LOL!) Cukup lah pengalaman 2005 mek mengkimpahkan diri, kan? Seksa bebenor 2006 menurunkan balik berat badan. And after Miss World pageant hari tu, cukup la mek pamperedkan diri mek dengan MAKAN MAKAN dan MAKAN tak ingat donia! YES, mek dosi gained weight a bit. So 2007, mek nak bukan skadar maintain weight, but to KURANGKAN lagi sampai 55kg. November 2006, during the pageant, mek was 59kg. And by end of the year 2006, mek dah up balik to 64kg. So mek nak kena turunkan balik, not just back to 55kg (weight-dulu yang tak tercapai before the pageant) but to maintain back that weight of 55kg!
  2. Azam mek, to jaga keharmonian dan mengekalkan perhubungan mek dengan DIA... siapakah? Nanti lah mek gembar gemburkan. Tell now also, still new. Kang tak jadik as planned, naya jer. Biar lah lama siket - nanti mek introduce... tapi personally for me, mek nak jaga relationship tu sebaik mungkin and make it last...
  3. Azam mek yang ketiga nih, well, erm, cemana nak cakap ek... ok. As many of you ols tahu, mek kuat emo - DQ and stuff, right? Time after time mek cuba tangani masalah attitude emo nih, kan? But 2007 - yes, mek akan tetap cuba tangani masalah emo over dq ke ape ke nih semua - tapi bukannye mek nak hapuskan that attribute in me. Sebab kalau mek tak over dq, mek tak over emo, it wouldn't have made what I am today. Being sensitive is a must as a human being - or else you would be called a heart-less person for not being sensitive towards your surroundings, correct? Tapi once kite dipush over our limits, thats when kite tend to get over emo and over sensitive too. So I plan to work on that, not to hapuskan part of me tu, but to kurangkan. And as for the rest, yang tak dapat terima my attribute tu, I guess, I tak mampu to accommodate you la kot. Like, to be friends, and part of the human being cyle around the globe, one must be able to accept siapa yang dia berkawan tu, baik dan buruknya, kan? Apa aku merepek dalam point number 3 nih ek - ish! All am saying is that, accept me for who and what I truly am, and if you can't, its your lost not mine... azam mek this year, to berikan lebih perhatian dan kepentingan kepada how I would feel, how my heart would react to everything and everything, and kurangkan about thinking about how others would feel or think about me. Priority, pada diri sendiri (but that doesn't make me an over-sensitive heartless bitch tau! LOL!) dan secondly baru pada the surroundings. I've been concentrating on how ppl that revolved around me feels and thinks instead of thinking about myself... :)
  4. Azam mek utk tahun 2007 - nak majukan dan perkembangkan lagi business mek yang mek dah jaga nak masuk 2 tahun dah nih! :) Mek will be appointing someone dari golongan family/ relatives jugak to be 2nd after me in the company, jussst in case kalaaaau... erm... *see point number 6...
  5. Finally - azam mek tahun nih - kurangkan musuh dan ramaikan kenalan lagi (aiyoh, so Miss Frienship sangat kan this last one nih? LOL!!!)
  6. This one, I was planning to just keep it to myself tapi, owh well, what the heck. Azam mek utk tahun 2007 - mek nak get myself involved balik dengan Airlines. I know, I know, I know I dah established and have my own company and what not; tapi sometimes, when you like and love doing something, sometimes you just can't let it go just like that, kan? Tah lah - this one, mek tak der lah kata azam mek utk tahun 2007 yang mek ingin dan akan kecapi, tapiii, kalau ade rezeki, apa lah salahnya... Apa yang mek cakapkan nih? Well - lets just say, biarlah ia menjadi tanda soal lagi buat peringkat sekarang, tapi cukup mek katakan yang it has something to do with Emirates and Qatar Airways... :)
So itu lah dia - edited update(s) for this entry! Happy New Year 2007!!! May all your dreams come true this year around.

PS: For those yang have been sms-ing me, sending me greetings and New Year's wishes and all over at my 012 mobile, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know I know - ade some yang berbalas, ade some (actually, MOSTLY - hiks!) yang TAK berbalas. Tah lah, kadang² tu, tak berbalas sms anda tu, doesn't mean mek tak teringat nak membalasnye, kan? Hehehehe... it's just... the usual alasan... BUSY LAH U OLS! Mati la mek busy apa tatau? Buat show new year in Penang? OPS! Lalalalala... duiii!!!

2006 - Looking back at a very colorful year...


An entry which sums up the whole year of 2006... I was actually looking forward to end the year with this entry - personally I think, this entry means a lot to me...



Indeed 2006 has been a very colorful year for me - a very rewarding year with tons of sweet memories that would last centuries after this; the year that allowed me to travel the world, expend my thoughts and dreams and let me be on top of that very dream in my own world at the end of 365 days in 2006. Of course, not that am forgetting the usual downs among the many ups throughout the year... But I guess, that's life I suppose - there's ups and definitely downs, gotta give a little in order to take a little, you gotta cry a little to smile, and most of all, in this life, you win some, and definitely you'll lose some. But in my case, I don't think its too much to say, that, I lose some in the beginning, and cry a lot (despite having a good year though... LOL!), to be all jolly and overjoyed and have that extra big happy smile on my face by the year end! :)

Throughout the year 2006...

Work work and work:
Thanks to the family business, I was given the chance to travel the world again... I thought I won't be able to travel abroad again after I finished my services with MH. But I guess I thought wrong. Throughout the year, I have realized that, the business/ work that am doing, its not so bad after all. I kindda like enjoyed doing it - it reminded me so much of my times back with MH. And for that I'm forever grateful to be given the chance to still be able to see the world...

Family affairs:
My family has always been there for me since, I could remember. In 2006, my family, not only had given me the chance to prove that I'm able to handle the business on my own and lead my life as I want to, but the main thing that I'm glad that happened in 2006, would definitely, the acceptance and understanding they had towards me. Being 27 means I'm an adult - and with that comes specific obligations (in which I think I have done my level best to show them that am capable of doing) and I think came in the respect from them towards me. I felt like, although am back staying with them under the same roof, still, I feel that they have understood and started to realize that its time to let lose of the control-chain and give me the trust that I needed. And for that am again, forever thankful, and grateful...

Personal life:
When 2005 came, I sort of like wanted to just disappear from the eyes of the public who knew Nurlea Laurielle Lai Lee @ Lea Laurielle - maybe not for good, but just for a while. And I did that. And I also recalled saying that after the 2005 silence, I'd come back in 2006. And indeed I did. It was a steadily slow start-off in early 2006, slowly but surely, I came back to the scene. Strange, because, after a year of silence (silence from public-appearance, not ONLINE because I was still reachable, online! LOL!), I never realized that it'll bring a great impact on me. I thought it'll just be like the ol'times. Again, my guess was wrong. It was as though I was starting anew, starting fresh, and back at zero, starting from scratch. And the 1st attempt in the scene (beauty pageant); I wouldn't call it as a failure, but it didn't turn out the way it should have been. But note that I didn't complaint, nor was I feeling upset about it. I was sure there would be something better for me to come. And indeed, something better happened in my life and what better way to end the year with a victory. Winning Miss World 2006 was like a dream come true. For once, (or make that twice if you count IQP2006) I wasn't expecting anything, I wasn't hoping for anything - and which I felt much happier when I won because it's the least expected victory. Finally, after a long wait, after the ups and downs preparing for it, the hard work and sweat and all those crazy diet routines and what not, FINALLY, it paid off. No need for ppl to do this, but I'm very much proud to say that I don't mind tapping my shoulders and say, "WELL DONE LEA!" Wouldn't you be proud too if you were in my shoes? But proud, not to that level where you tend to forget your roots and neglect your surroundings and how they feel. Yes, I'm very much thankful I didn't reach to that level. 2006 has definitely put me in a position where I'm on top of my own world, and there, I can see myself, doing things, step by step, went through stage by stage, experiencing the hurdles in life to be where I am now... really I didn't see it coming. Who would have thought? 2004 Dec, I felt my life came crashing down into thousand little pieces. Dec 2005, I could be up for the next Miss Jumbo 2006? And Dec 2006 - here I am, smiling my way writing this entry, happy to be where I am now and thinking - I DID IT! And am also talking about the weight issue here, yes... Guess one of my wishes for 2006 did come true - I lost weight! (And congratulations Lea, you're gaining it back! LOL!)

Online Social life:
Apart from gaining back the status in the year 2006, and seeing faces I've missed, the year also see me getting hyperly active in socializing online. With the personal website at www.lealaurielle.com, and its Members Area and Forum and all, I'd have to say that 2006 has thought me a lot to be more of a PC-literate person. Believe me if I haven't spent like more than 12 hours a day, just sitting in front of the pc (not just blogging and exploring the wonderful world on the world wide web), I would have to say that I'd be still have a long was to go in understanding the life 'online' and catching up things to be knowledgable and compatible in the ever advanced world. And thus, having the urge to get all socialized online, it made me meet, and have more friends, more than I never would have thought of having. And so, I can say that 2006, I've increased the number of friends, and am happy for that!

Love life:
I shall not dwell much about it, but as far as 2006 is concerned, I guess my love life is going on smoothly now. No point talking about the downs in the love lane - I guess that's what I had to go through, to be happy with HIM now...

All in all - definitely, 2006 gave me the chance to experience the best in life and what it has got to offer for now, and it is definitely, a sure-case of rewarding and liberating experience(s) of my life and I will always look back at 2006 with a big smile on my face... Thank You 2006...



12 hours left, and so long, farewell, 2006...

My Heart...




My Heart

Di sini kau dan aku
Terbiasa bersama
Menjalani kasih sayang
Bahagia ku denganmu

Pernahkah kau menguntai
Hari- hari paling indah
Terukir nama kita berdua
Di sini surga kita

Bila kita mencintai yg lain
Mungkinkah hati ini akan tegar
Sebisa mungkin tak akan pernah
Sayangku akan hilang

If you love somebody could we be this strong
I willl fight to win, our love will conquer all
Wouldn’t risk my love even just one night
Our love will stay in my heart

Pernahkah kau menguntai
Hari paling indah
Ku ukir nama kita berdua
Di sini surga kita

Bilakah kita mencintai yg lain
Mungkinkah hati ini akan tegar
Sebisa mungkin tak akan pernah
Sayangku akan hilang

If you love somebody could we be this strong
I willl fight to win, our love will conquer all
Wouldn’t risk my love even just one night
Our love will stay in my heart

Slow Internet Connection - How to use proxy


Case: Slow Internet Connection (Sources - thanks to forum Cari.com.my di board Internet, Multimedia, Web Design)

************************************************************************

Msg posted by zep:

UPDATES : Internet users has been advised that repair work at APCN2 may take several days, which means the slow link to international sites may persist for a while.

What is APCN2?

It is the longest international seabed fibre cable network, 19,000km in total length, in the Asia-Pacific, linking China, Japan, Malaysia, Republic of Korea, Singapore, and onward to linking America, Europe and Australia. The network went into operation in October 2002 for the initial phase.

The project was spearheaded by 26 telecommunications companies, namely Advantel, Cable & Wireless Global Network, Cable&Wireless HKT, China Telecom, China Unicom, Chunghwa Telecom, Concert, Global Network Services, Global One, Japan Telecom, KDD Corpe ration, Korea Telecom, KPN, Layer 2, MCI, WorldCom, Metromedia Giber Network Service, NTT Com, NCIC, OneLink Cable Network, PLDT, StarHub, SingTel, Taiwan Fixed Network, Teleglobe, Telekom Malaysia, Telstra and Williams Communications.

The APCN2 cable system was designed to provide 2.56 Terrabits per second (Tbps) using state-of-the-art Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology to provide upgradeable, future proof transmission facilities. However, APCN2 currently runs on a designated transmission capacity of 160 Gigabits per second (Gbps).

According to the APCN2 agreement, Malaysia maintains a Terminal Station at Segment T2, Kuantan, whihc is within Segment S2 and represented by TM Berhad. Whereas, Segment S7 affected by this morning's earthquake consists of submarine cable containing four (4) optical fibre pairs that connect the Network Interfaces at the Terminal Station at Tanshui (Taiwan); and at the Terminal Station at Shantou (Mainland China).

Under the APCN2 specifications, all Segment S are terminal stations equipped with critical terminal equipment, including Network Interface for STM-1, STM-4, STM-16 and STM-64 levels.

Critically, the APCN2 Agreement also provisions that all Segment S must maintain adequate inventory of related spare and standby units and components, which include but not limited to optical amplifiers, BUs (Branching Units), cable lengths, and terminal equipment.

The customers' anticipation is none other than swift service recovery.

Latest News from TM.NET.MY

ANNOUNCEMENT

We wish to inform our customers that the Internet service is currently experiencing a degradation in performance caused by several outages at some of the international links.  This is attributed to the Richter 7.1 magnitude earthquake that struck off the southern coast of Taiwan at 12.07 a.m. on 27th December 2006, which caused the APCN2 (Asia Pacific Cable Network 2) submarine cable fault between Shantou, China and Tanshui, Taiwan and between Lantau, Hong Kong and Chongming, China.

This has caused outages at several TM Net international transit and peering links, mainly to the said countries. As a result,  Internet users in Malaysia and other parts of Asia may be experiencing some delay when assessing content and websites hosted outside of Malaysia, especially in U.S., Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea and Europe. TM Net has taken immediate action to divert traffic through other back-up links to reduce the traffic congestion.

The international providers are carrying out immediate restoration works to rectify the problem.  We will be making further announcements when the service has resumed.

TM Net Sdn Bhd apologizes for any inconvenience caused whilst at the same time, we would like to assure you that we are doing all that is necessary in order to restore the service as soon as possible.

Customers can call TM Net Customer Interaction Centre at 1-300-88-9515 (24 hours) or 1-300-88-1515 from 8:00 a.m. till midnight or e-mail us at custcare@tm.net.my for further enquiries about this matter.
