FREE McDonald’s Big Breakfast, Have You Gotten Yours?

Breakfast has never been so worth it with the current promotion by McDonald’s. With the 2 FREE Big Breakfast voucher and a minimum spending of RM 5 in a receipt, you will be entitled for TWO completely FREE Big Breakfast set. If you have not enjoyed the promo yet, please read on to know more. (AND TO DOWNLOAD THE VOUCHER!)

Where to get the voucher?

Glad you asked. You can find the vouchers for McDonald’s 2 FREE Big Breakfast in dailies such as The Star (cut it out and use it) or you can easily print one from your computer!

Download the online vouchers here and print them out. Remember, you can only use one voucher in a receipt. Don’t try to use, say, two vouchers for over RM 10 of spending in a receipt. And voucher can only be used during breakfast hour (4am - 11am).

What to spend on to meet the RM 5 requirement?

Alahh easy peasy. Since the 2 FREE Big Breakfast sets don’t come with drinks, simply purchase two coffee/tea for you and your partner. It shall cost a total of RM 6 after tax. Yes, one more Ringgit but then, you spend RM 3 and get the whole set of breakfast, which you usually need to spend around RM 10 for.

Now, is that not worth it? Print out the vouchers and head on to McDonald’s for your FREEEEEE Big Breakfast! :D

We Love Light Photography Contest

The photography society in MMU Malacca is running a photography contest for university as well as high school students. I held back for some time, trying to think what kind of images should I submit for both its Love and Light categories.

That didn’t go very well, but I managed to submit an image of sunset which I’ve taken back in my hometown for the Light category.

This is the image I’ve submitted. Previously on this blog I’ve published the sunset shot I took at Pantai Cenang. This one here was taken after I was back from Langkawi Island.

Now here’s the deal: they’re having a ‘like’ thingy up on their Facebook page and the number of ‘likes’ actually contributes to 30% of the results! Meaning, apart from the 70% judging by the appointed judges, the 30% comes from Facebook page ‘likes’.

I submitted my entry on the last day itself so I’ve managed to accumulate a few clicks of ‘like’ as of now. So, I’d like to plead for your favour - yes, I bet you’ve guessed it right since the past few paragraphys - that is to ‘like’ my picture.

It’s very easy. First, head over to the We Love Light Photography Contest Facebook page and LIKE it; then, click like on my submission. (My sunset image is in the Light theme album.)

However, if you hate me or think the image is not appealing enough, it’s okay to ignore me :( Do check out other awesome entries at the page too! :D

Why The Slowness of Loading Facebook in Malaysia and How-to Speed It Up

The connection to Facebook.com has been getting slower and slower since the terrible disaster that battered Japan last week. According to TM the underwater cables have been affected by the earthquake, causing slow internet connection especially when connecting to sites hosted in the USA.

 

I was trying to fix the Sponsors page for Memoirs 2 FB Fan Page and the slow connection really got on my nerves. Thus, I googled a bit and found out there’s actually cure to the slow connection speed to Facebook.

All the miseries can be solved in five simple steps:

1. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\
2. Open hosts file using Notepad
3. Add the following line: 203.106.85.66 www.facebook.com
4. Save it.
5. Enjoy Facebooking smoothly!

Note: If you doubt that the IP address above is safe, instead of [203.106.85.66], add the line 'static.ak.fbcdn.net www.facebook.com' into the hosts file and save it. [static.ak.fbcdn.net] is a Facebook CDN server, which simply means Facebook owns the server.

Disclaimer: I did not geniusly come out with the solutions above. It was discovered by HeHeHunter and I initially saw this from LiewCF’s tech blog. Lunix and Mac users can check out either of the blogs I’ve mentioned for details. According to HeHeHunter, the IP address [203.106.85.66] is actually Facebook Mobile’s local server. Therefore, it is safe.

Taylor’s ADP vs Mass Comm

I was invited by Jim to take some pictures at the Shah Alam Panasonic Sports Complex for his college football final match. He played for the ADP team (in yellow) as a goalkeeper.

It was also the first time I shoot pictures using the almighty Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8. That bazooka lens is full of awesomeness despite it weight, which I wasn’t very used to with.

I’ll just be a little creative with the captions since I don’t know any of the players except for my goalie friend. =)

 

#1 An attempt by Torres (No. 9) in early minutes of match.

 

#2 VDS (yes, that’s Jim) made a save to keep the score level.

 

#3 Vidic (?!) dribbling past the Lionel Messi.

 

#4 Inzaghi and Safee Sali tussle for the ball

 

#5 The Malaysian players stood side by side during the penalty shootout (it was a draw after final whistle and no extra time was played).

Check out more pictures of the finale on Facebook. Have a nice weekend ahead!

Sunset in Pantai Cenang, Langkawi

I just can’t let my blog un-updated. I spent four days in Langkawi last week after final exam with a few of my friends and here’s a sunset shot that might intrigue you.

Click on image to view it on Flickr.

This is Pantai Cenang of Pulau Langkawi, in Malaysia.

I will update on my trip soon, as I have pictures of another photo-shoot to take care of.

[VIDEO] Man Utd 2-1 Man City - Rooney’s Match-Winner

The latest episode of Manchester derby ended 2-1, with the Red Devils managed to shut the noisy neighbours up again. And here we have a short clip of Rooney’s awesome pawesome (possibly the goal of the season) overhead kick goal.

‎"I think it's the best goal I've ever scored, I saw it coming over and I thought, why not? I was just delighted to see it go in the net and get the three points. Nine times out of 10 they go into the stand… it's the first overhead kick I've scored since turning professional."
