1malaysia.com is Hacked

Just a couple of weeks after being launched, the rather ambitious 1Malaysia.com social networking project that claimed it was ready to take on social networking giant Facebook, finds itself taken over by hackers instead.
Late yesterday evening, members of our forums noticed that the site’s landing page was defaced by devilc0de.org. At time of writing, the site is still down. We do not want to speculate on what happened, but rumours is the site was built using off the shelf turnkey scripts which were not properly patched. The last we checked, the site had gathered about 5,000 members.

Simpang Pulai Mission Trip

Last few weeks, I had another mission trip to Simpang Pulai and then a resting trip up to Cameron. We went with a team of nine. We left on 16 March for mission trip and came back on 18 March. Well, the whole trip was very fun. We visited the pastor’s church and manage to visit a couple of other villages. The first village that we went was blocked by a landslide so we had to walk for 40 mins in and out. LOL. I manage to snap snap with my camera. So here are some images from the mission trip and the Cameron trip. It was a quite nice weather and a nice drive there. 🙂

The Jungle Adventure

On the 25th of January, a few of us went for some jungle hiking in FRIM. Well, we had to pay…. to get in, that’s very obvious since it is own by our non generous government which wants to make money out of plants… well. We still went in. LOL. We decided to create our own trail upstream. Climbing mini waterfalls and streams… slippery rocks, cold waters, thick bushes…. well… all that was kinda new experience for everyone. 🙂 Here are some pictures that I manage to capture before my N95 and Canon 30D went for a swim in the cold water. Well, managed to safe them. :0 Thank God!!

Family Reunion 2009

Last Sunday we had a family reunion dinner nearby my house at some chinese restaurant. The dinner was a 9 course dinner and it was an awesome one. 🙂 After the dinner we headed to Old Town Coffee for some supper. Haha!! Or should I say second dinner. 🙂 And the time finally come!! Photo taking session, being limited to my Nokia N95 camera, the pictures turned out not bad. Kinda forget to take my SLR and having a problem of dirt in the camera….sigh.

Marwano’s Birthday

Happy Birthday Marwano!! Last week, one of my college friends had his birthday party at Picadilly in section 14, PJ. Well, and glad to say that the food there was totally awesome!! The so far nice and affordable food place. The environment was nice and warm. Here are some pictures for the birthday. 🙂

My New Bank

Wooohooo!! I have finally applied for my new bank account. CIMB bank. The best thing is, I was planning to open this bank account from November last year. But due to time constrain, I never had the time to walk into the bank to apply. Everything went fine, but I just hate filling up their forms. It is just so so misleading!! But the service is awesome!! Expecially the online banking. 🙂
