RemainUnknown522's Compilation of Annoyances: Spam Mail

1. Ever since I started blogging, I kept on getting a number of ridiculous and somewhat alarming e-mails coming from highly suspicious sources, where all of these e-mails would always end up in the Spam folder of my e-mail account.

RemainUnknown522's Compilation Of Annoyances: Firecrackers

1. Everytime during Ramadan and nearing Hari Raya Aidilfitri, there will always be loud and sometimes annoying blast from people playing with firecrackers.

2. Match crackers (mercun mancis) and football firecrackers (mercun bola) in particular; What do these two have in common?

3. Two things: ANNOYINGLY LOUD and RUDE.

Hari Raya Moments

Jars containing Kuih Raya and Duit Raya envelopes.

1. Before I begin, I would like to wish to all Muslims a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. To be honest, it has been years since I haven't celebrated a rather lively Hari Raya, and last year was one of those times (good reason for that, since my father passed away on that year).

Sparklers and Firecrackers

1. There is exactly a week before Hari Raya Aidilfitri, as of the time of this post was published.

2. My last article was published on 8th June, almost a few days before I temporarily closed my blog in order to take a rest for celebrating Ramadan.

3. Now I have returned to writing, although I am still having problems in thinking of a good topic to write.

Review: Remax OTG micro USB to USB 2.0 plug

As an Android smartphone and tablet user, there are times where I need to transfer some files to a USB flash drive when I am not using my laptop. Unfortunately, I can't do any file transfer without an OTG (on-the-go) cable or plug.

And so, Remax, a company based in Hong Kong, introduced an OTG plug for use with Android smartphones and tablets called the Remax OTG.

As I have never made a review of any kind of device, this will be my first, so my review may not be quite good, actually.

REVIEW: THE MANHATTAN FISH MARKET MALAYSIA'S BEST DEAL IN TOWN, ALAMANDA PUTRAJAYA

It has been a long time since I went to Manhattan Fish Market, a high-end fast food restaurant franchise originated in Malaysia, specialising in fish & chips. If I can remember correctly, the last time I've had fish & chips there was in 2012 at Queensbay Mall, Pulau Pinang.

And so, four days ago, I decided to go to Manhattan Fish Market restaurant at Alamanda Putrajaya, bringing my mother along, to try their limited time offer called 'Best Deal In Town'. It was available on 7 weekdays from 10th May to 13th May, and 16th May to 18th May.

Comic Fiesta 2015, Two-Day Coverage (last edited: 14/1/2016, 02:00 a.m.)

Comic Fiesta 2015 guide book, written here as 'Event Menu'. Taken on Day One of the event.

Before I begin this topic, I would like to wish everyone reading this blog a Happy New Year, and it is quite surprising (and also, slightly disturbing) that most of the readers reading my blog are not from Malaysia. Although I could have published this blog post as early as one day after the event, I decided to do it exactly
on 1st of January 2016. Still, better late than never.

Now back to the main topic. In this new blog post, and also for the third time, it is about my visit to Comic Fiesta 2015. Unlike the previous years (2013 & 2014), where it was held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Comic Fiesta 2015 was held at Mines International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC). Also, unlike the previous year's Comic Fiesta post where I split into two parts; this time, I decided to combine them into one post, making it the longest single blog post ever (TL:DR WARNING!). Lastly, this is the first blog post to be edited and updated with photos and videos at random intervals, as I didn't have time to write and post everything here right after the visit (bad health conditions and writer's block are among the causes).

SONY VAIO SVE14A15FGS, THREE YEARS HISTORY

After three years of using the Sony VAIO SVE14A15FGS, here is my usage history of the laptop:

• 2nd October 2012: Bought at Sony Centre, Low Yat Plaza, Kuala Lumpur.
• June - September 2013: Right side hinge broke, damage repaired.
• 3rd - 5th October 2014: Left side hinge broke after more than a year of getting it repaired (conclusion: the hinge is SVE14A15FG's Achilles heel).
• 8th March 2015: Hard disk failure, data can no longer be accessed. Forgot to make recovery discs!
• 2nd May 2015: Bought new hard disk and reinstalled Windows 7 and required drivers; original bundled softwares (example: VAIO Gesture Control) cannot be installed as I forgot to make the recovery discs.
• 11th September 2015 - ongoing: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR caused by atikmpag.sys, causing the Blue Screen of Death to show up. More and more ridiculous errors, including MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, PAGE_FAULT_IN NONPAGED_AREA shows up after several reinstallations of drivers and software. Suspected either corrupt data in HDD (CHKDSK 'found no problems,' but System File Checker did found some corrupt data) or graphics card problem (cleaning / repair required). Uninstalled AMD's Catalyst Control Center, problem temporarily solved; problem reappears as I opened up Internet Explorer (I can't access Maxis Broadband's quota portal in Google Chrome). Disabled AMD Radeon 7670M Graphics should if I need to use the internet.

And that's all there is to write about the laptop's usage history.
