An Intentional Experiment, Accidental Observations, Reflections on Life’s Calm and Chaos

nihility — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 23:19:56 +0800

These were 2 Musang King graft, bought by me almost 10 years ago. These gratings were planted to the ground on 11 September 2016, with an intention to demonstrate something to myself.

Yet as the time passed, some unexpected observations arises. These were the photos on the growth of the tree over the years. The tree successfully bear the fruits last year.

I recalled the yesteryears generation teaching - be observant, the answer will be revealed in the form of pattern from our surrounding. This very photo showed the low hanging fruits within my reach.

Probably there are some of them are like the low hanging fruits - waiting to compare their observations with the others.

Half past Six contractor's Job Extension, Lousy contractor extension job

ArchId — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 11:49:26 +0800

Hai there, Izwan here, want to share with future house owner who is doing house extension-e.g Kitchen, porch etc...

So 2 years back got this owner who basically got a house at nilai...after giving all the proper quotations ... owner keep quiet and decided to get a cheaper Indonesian contractor. instead...so just wish him all the best on the renovations lor....
Got a call last week, ,and he ask to come over and asking for an advice regarding this situation his having....im assuming those typical roof leaking, water seepage since malaysia is currently having its monsoon season....

To my surprise, the renovation extension went horribly wrong.

On my findings , this is the issues that the house is having:-

1) The new ground and first floor back extension is not properly structurally design. The first floor floor beam and the roof beam is tie to the original existing beam.
and same goes to the first floor R.C slab.....
A new extension should have created another new column after the existing building so that this old and new building have different structure loading purpose.

2) The ground beam missing... hahahaha..... crazy.....

3) Column design / R.C footing under design... so the double storey extension load cannot catered by the Footing and column thus settlement occurred .
The new beam and slab connecting to the existing building is producing "shear stress" that causes the building to have a major crack....

So... my question is to you all.... what do you think you all should do if this situation suddenly occurred to your house...?????

cheers mate,
Izwan

Dear LYN members,

During this pandemic I've spent a lot of time at home. So I decided to learn a little about Python programming and created this blog site. The content mostly work stuff that I have compiled over the years. Not much content yet , but I hope that I will grow once I have more time to write (I have to admit, writing about anything is harder than it looks).

Thank you.

File Structure of PE and ELF Explained

Hi everyone! Today, I am going to show you the minimal file structure of two popular binary executable format. Windows (PE) and Linux (ELF).

Windows
Let's take a look at Windows PE file format:

PE:

Please note that Code Section and Data Section is minimum 512 bytes each, or power of two to the multiple of 512 as required by File Alignment setting in File Header.

As its name implies, Code Section contains all machine code (normally Intel x86 or AMD64 CPU architecture opcodes) while Data Section contains all data values. A functional PE should have Import Table referencing to either kernel32.dll or user32.dll or both.

For ordinary EXE, you can always ignore the checksum and timestamp in File Header.

Linux
Now, it's time to look at ELF32/64 binary file format.

ELF:

ELF file format is smaller compared to that of PE. A functional "Hello World!" ELF64 binary file could be well below 200 bytes, compared to a similar "Hello World!" (CUI) PE binary file which is about 2048 bytes (or 1024 bytes if you combine three section altogether).

The similarity between these two binary file formats is each Code Segment or Code Section and Data Segment or Data Section has respective headers.

These binary file formats have existed for more than 20 years and have not changed much since then.

Tiny executable file like a 2048-byte portable executable (PE) is often falsely detected by antivirus software as trojan or malware.

macOS

Well, I could not afford an Apple machine so I give up researching on anything related to macOS including its binary file format. To date, I never have used macOS in my life time.

Conclusion
I hope you already get the preliminary idea about the file structure of two popular binary executable format.

As for me, PE file format even in its minimal form is way more complex than ELF file format.

Fiholic, Personal Finance Blog by a Doctor

fiholic — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 09:07:46 +0800

Ahoj! (means hello in Czech)

I'm the Chief Writer at Fiholic.com - a personal finance blog for Malaysians from all walks of life.

I blog about money issues like investing, insurance, the latest fintech etc.

I started this blog in June 2020 (actually moved some money-related posts from my old blog, with existing traffic) and happy to say traffic is picking up consistently.

In real life, I'm actually a doctor (but not the dramatic kind you see on TV like Grey's Anatomy - I don't deal much with clinical. More to administration & management).

Thanks for reading!
