Moving on not progressing..?

OctoberFly — Mon, 13 Apr 2015 05:45:58 +0800

I CANNOT BELIEVE I'M POSTING HERE. It shows how desperate and ridiculously dumb I am right now.

Was in a relationship for 3years, with a college sweetheart who was my best friend for 2 years. Was left dumbfounded 2 weeks before Christmas.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

The first 2 weeks, I was in shambles. All I had was beer and ramen. I cried like a baby everyday.

On New Year's day I told myself that it's new year, I'll start a new life, without him. I'll be okay. Didn't went very well but so much better than 'beer and ramen' days.

To say that I didn't try to move on, would be totally unfair for me. Because as I've known I tried REALLY hard. I changed my entire room, mailed him back his clothes, pictures and a custom painted shoe I made for him for V-day2015 (obviously didn't work out)--- I'm pretty sure he already got it by now, but no word from him at all.

I cut my hair REALLY SHORT, wear different clothes, style myself very differently. When I looked in the mirror, I feel relieved because I don't see that 'girl' who used to be his girlfriend. I'm a whole new person, or at least looked like it. I also bought some wigs, some contact lenses--- things that I always wanted to try but couldn't because my ex didn't like it. And I feel great.

I socialise with my friends more, and started talking to a lot of people. I did a lot of soul searching, started writing a blog with short stories and love stories and some personal diary--- which got more than 1k followers (ok not much, but that's how pathetic I was before). Plays guitar a lot. And I started to play dota2 again (which my ex didn't like either) with a lot of friends. Then I played LoL as well, and starcraft2. Played some dishonoured, child of light, and replayed ff8 again. OK BASICALLY I PLAY A LOT OF GAMES EVEN BEFORE I BROKE UP, BUT NOW I PLAY WITH MORE PEOPLE.

I also started reading a lot of books which opened up my mind a lot. I really love my life now (no lies)

If you want relationship advice, c'mon, I can tell you plenty. I get a lot fanmails in my blog from broken hearted followers asking me for advice, and I have no problem giving logical solutions.

I tried knowing more guys--- but... every time I see one, I just don't feel like continuing the conversation. It's like, they are not bad guys, but there's just traits of them that I cannot tolerate. And in the end, it seems like no one compares to my ex. (although please, i'm not an idiot I know that there are plenty).

BUT WHY AM I STILL CRYING?!

I've been fine for like a few weeks, then I will start breaking down again. The urge to text him, the desperation of just to see him for the very 'last' time. The thoughts that--- our love was so great. And all those shit just comes every few weeks.

It's not like I'm not trying, so why am I falling back again and again? What frustrates me the most was that even when I'm trying my best, it doesn't seem to work. Nothing works. I feel hopeless. I feel like I'm stranded in this island and no matter how much I try to swim, I somehow ended up in another island again.

The worst part of it is that, I don't hate him at all. If I have a truck, and there is no consequences, I wouldn't even run him over.

Is there something that I"m missing? Is there something that I didn't do? I don't know what I can do anymore. I'm out of ideas and I really want to get over this ASAP. It's already been 4 months. Time is really taking its time.

p/s: i'm pretty sure I will regret making this thread when I wake up tomorrow. lol.

WTA> Starve cat because of diarrhea?

OctoberFly — Sat, 03 Aug 2013 15:39:13 +0800

hello i really need help. my cat has been ditching her litter box for pooping purposes for a year or two already! and it's getting worse.
yesterday she has diarrhea. theres blood and leaking 1 drop everywhere.

Today i brought her to vet in danaukota. cost me 120 (some of you might think this is a normal price but i think it's pricey compared to genting klang)
the vet is nice and everything. there's 2 of them i don't even know who is the vet and who is the assistant.

i told her my cat has diarrhea and got blood in stool and she straight gave my gave charcoal tablets.
she didn't really check my cat's butt or mouth or anything. didn't check anything at all i dunno where her diagnosis comes from lol.

i asked her if it's due to worms or food poisoning or what but she only told me 'scared your cat ate some toxic bug and got virus'.

she gave my cat 3 injections; antibiotic, liver (dunno what injection for liver lol) and for 'selera'.

they told me not to give my cat any food but glucose water to rest her stomach.

SOO... anyone actually been through the same? I'm not quite comfortable starving my cat I know i'm not supposed to doubt the doctor but i can't help it because she's my precious

-ve reviews on online shops.

OctoberFly — Wed, 22 May 2013 15:52:17 +0800

I'm an online shopper and I've been through some frustrating experiences with certain websites / shop. I thought it will be great if someone could list down all the shops that they had problems with so that others wouldn't have to go through the same thing.

Pos Malaysia parcel

OctoberFly — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 14:09:41 +0800

harlo, I'm not too familiar about post laju / post malaysia. I'm waiting for my parcel to be delivered to my house but this is what the tracking wrote:

Date Time Process Office
14-Apr-2013 12:42:00 Consignment to be collected at Counter Delivery PPL Batu Caves
11-Apr-2013 15:39:25 Consignment arrived at processing center PPL Batu Caves
08-Apr-2013 20:44:41 Consignment dispatch out from origin station PPL PUCHONG
08-Apr-2013 10:29:45 Consignment posted over the counter PPL PUCHONG

Does that mean I have to collect it myself @ batu caves? They didn't even attempt to deliver. I don't know what's happening I don't have transport to go there.

And it's Sunday, why would the tracking number update on sunday to ask me to collect myself?

High heels problem.

OctoberFly — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 18:27:11 +0800

I have this problem with high heels where i can only wear an open toe heels?

I really can't wear closed heels at all

I'll get really painful blisters at my little toe... at the end! Sometimes even the side of my big toe.

I'm size 4.

I thought that my heels might be too small so I try to take size 4 1/2 but the heels keep coming off @ my ankle. AND I still get blisters I really wanna wear a closed high heels. It look soooo elegant. I wanna wear it out with my boyfriend (who doesn't care about what I wear on my feet) for onceee!

Am I walking the wrong way? Because anyhow, all the weight will be on the anterior part of my feet... so either way my feet is gonna fall 'into' the heels ... I don't know how to explain

p/s: I tried sticking some weird transparent jelly-ish thingy too

what sweet things should i do on a date?

OctoberFly — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 22:02:22 +0800

I actually searched online but i couldn't get any nice suggestions. I'm a FEMALE (IDK why everyone here thinks that i'm a male). anyway my bf is leaving malaysia on friday for his studies and we never really had a proper date before (since we were friends since long time ago so we were very natural about getting together and never had a proper date).

So... Before he leaves I guess we somehow decided to have a proper 'date' kinda thing. but i have no idea what to do...

I prepared a few love notes to hide in the popcorns so that when he's eating it in the movie he'd 'accidentally' find it and read it 1 by 1. (there's one note that asked him to turn his head to me--- and i'd KISS-ATTACK HIM WAHAHAHAH). Ok is that like a bit cheesy X_X

That's the only idea I have I don't believe that girls shouldn't do much and guys should do EVERYTHING so even if it's something corny that guys does I will give it a try. Please do help me. I want him to leave with a good and sweet memory about us in mind.

p/s: I'm planning to sing to him too but I can't play a guitar so it's kinda like an epic fail plan. ><

cat has fever..

OctoberFly — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:02:57 +0800

My cat has fever. I'm searching for vets in setapak area. As far as I know, the one in Danau Kota is not there anymore (Can't find it, if anyone knows please tell me).

I've been to genting klang, and I'm really not sure about the service. Not long after the visit my cat passed away. Well not to put the blame on him but I'm still very concerned. He doesn't explain to me much either. Has anyone been to this vet and can provide any feedbacks?

What about the dbkl-spca spaying clinic? Are they just for spaying or do they provide other consultation & etc? & are they... good? Sorry, I'm not into gov clinics, had bad experience in a human gov clinic.

p/s: Anyone knows how to care for a feverish cat? I googled and only got 'find a vet' results. she seemed to be sleeping all day, I'm getting worried. I might bring her to the vet tomorrow or sunday if possible because I'm currently working.

Need help with conditional javascript.

OctoberFly — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 12:54:09 +0800

When I install Disqus, it appears in my homepage. I don't want it to appear in my home page so I need some conditional javascript code right?

Anyway the original code is like this;

<div id="disqus_thread"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * */
var disqus_shortname = 'example'; // required: replace example with your forum shortname

/* * * DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */
(function() {
var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
})();
</script>

Googled around and finally decided that the conditional code is this

if(document.referrer.indexOf("/20") > 0)
{
use the code above
}

(/20 because all my blog post have /20 in their permalink)

But then I can't use the code like below

<script type="text/javascript">
/* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * */
var disqus_shortname = 'example'; // required: replace example with your forum shortname

if(document.referrer.indexOf("/20") > 0){
document.write("(function() {
var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
})();")
}
</script>

I need to... some how name the Disqus code like for example : disquscode1 then write

if(document.referrer.indexOf("/20") > 0)
{
document.use(disquscode1)
}

or something similar right? Can someone teach me how to give the Disqus code a name or help me with it >< please correct me if I'm wrong. First time messing with all these =/ Developer wont help and my blog platform don't have conditional tags.

[addedon]January 22, 2012, 3:27 pm[/addedon]nvm. solved with :

<div id="disqus_thread"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * */
var disqus_shortname = 'munfly'; // required: replace example with your forum shortname

(function() {
if (window.location.href.indexOf("/20") > 0)
var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
})();
</script>

thread closed. Sorry

Dell error code 0142

OctoberFly — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:04:35 +0800

Yesterday my laptop suddenly lag, then get okay, then lag. THEN LAGGGG till no tomorrow. I manually switch it off and on again but it doesn't get pass 'starting windows'.

Then I got:
Disk read error, press ctrl alt del to reblablabla

Then I run diagnostic test and get 0142 error.

I read the error code from dell and they said take the hard disk out and put it in back; I don't understand the latter sentences but I did that and after that I don't get disk read error anymore but I get:
(very long stuff)
EXITING PXE ROM
OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND.

Tried diagnostic test again and I get 0146 error.

I googled before this and I read about the BIOS stuff.
1. Is it true that if the BIOS recognize my HDD means that it's not completely DEAD?
2. The SATA is currently in AHCI and I'm running windows 7; so it should be ok right?

I know that 99.99% my HDD is gone. But then some people get the same error and seemed to fix it O_O?! D: of course I would like that to happen to me. HAHA. but not wishing so much based on my horrible luck. But I at least want to get... some of my data out? I have a few projects in it that I am currently on and I didn't make any back ups! It happened too suddenly.

So...

1. Do you think that the failure is not THAT bad yet?
2. Will I be able to get my stuff out?
3. If I were to replace my HDD, where can I buy it? Online / shop is better? And what brand and what specs? Does all HDD able to slot into the reading thingy?
4. How much is a HDD? T____T I budget 200 only omgg.
5 .Why is it that my BIOS is able to display my HDD but when I use dell recovery media they gave me error about my HDD?

Ok i tried to make everything short and clear. Sorry to bother you guys again

Laptop lag / heat problem

OctoberFly — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 09:43:48 +0800

My laptop never used to have lagging issues when I play game. I got it like... 12 months ago, dell xps L105x. But I stopped gaming due to exam so I think it's about 6-7 months I didn't use it to game. After my finals finish on Friday, I tried playing. It doesn't matter what game, warcraft or COD, it runs smooth for about 10-20 minutes then it starts lagging.

I thought it was virus issue and I actually factory reset-ed my laptop.

Tried to play again, less lag MAYBE, but still lag like, really no mood to play.

The Temperature was like 95 and it will off itself if I continue to play. I actually played a few game just to see what was the problem. I'm not too sure of the CPU usage because the games was full screen. I can only take note of the temperature but I assume the CPU usage was about 20-50%

I wonder what was the problem. My warranty expired already so I think I have to solve the problem myself. I googled around and found out that some people have the same problem with me.
I thought it could be either:
The heatsink, (which I highly think that this is the problem after I googled. And plus I have a super fine-long-hair-cat!)
The HD??
Virus? ??

By the way I ran the diagnostic test and there wasn't any problem detected, but the laptop shut itself again after running for sometime and the laptop was hot!

Can anyone help me with this... suggest to me whats the problem and what I should do?

BTW: The heat sink, how does it look like? I'm planning to like clean it and see if that solve my problem. I tried google around for some guide but... T___T I'm not a very techy person. If I open it, I might not able to put them back. LOL. since the guide that dell has mentioned that... I have to take the OPTICAL DISK, KEYBOARD, CARD READER, MEMORY and etc etc. I'm like OMGGGG. Is there no other way to get to the heat sink WITHOUT taking out so many things??!?!?
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/syst...sm/heatsink.htm

Can compressed air do the job? I heard that reapplying the thermal paste is better.
http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-xps-s...e-xps-15-a.html

I've never even heard of thermal paste! Where do I get all the items? Do shops that sell mouse and keyboards sell thermal paste? What about Isopropyl? Isn't that what we use in chemistry lab...?

I know that sending it to a computer shop might be easier. BUT THEN, I don't have money. HAHAHA. I know it might sound like an excuse but I really have no money. And I thought that I should learn to do it myself because... I'm her owner and I have to maintain my own laptop right? ><

WTA> mini elliptical trainer.

OctoberFly — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:24:12 +0800

[YOUTUBE]kBoK3o8dkvQ[/YOUTUBE]

I'm finding for this. All I can find online is from US. I'm not very used to buying things from other countries.

I think the price I saw online was about RM300~500. It's not a stepper though. It's more like a small step walking thingy but I think the steps are enough for me since I'm like mini-sized.

Does anyone know any place that sell this? Honestly I don't even know any shop selling gym equipment. Because this is like SO MUCH cheaper than the elliptical trainer I used in uni and my house is really small so this could fit; and I don't stay in hostel. It's really dumb to do cardio on formal clothing (I do that once awhile cause we have to wear formals in uni ) So yeah, I decided this is... decent for me.

But because I'm not VERY into gym and stuff, I don't even know where sells it. I only jog for health purposes, not to lose weight and then I hurt my knee and jogging kills me. But elliptical machine doesn't hurt my knee at all that's why I really love it. I live in KL btw... yeah that's it. Can anyone enlighten me? Sorry if this is like a really basic question

Dermatologist / clinic in KL

OctoberFly — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 21:20:09 +0800

I'm looking for dermatologist.. not for acne or beauty skin care or anything. Just some skin condition that I have no idea what it is. & how much is the consultation fee usually? I'm just a student and I don't have much money to spend...

I recently have this skin problem: half of my face, from my nose bridge towards my cheek, it's scaling. It's like really rough and dry. When you touch it, it doesn't feel like skin at all. It's a little pinkish at some area, but most of it nothing. It's quite bumpy actually, not sure if its really bumps or it's the skin. omg I look really horrid. Especially between my eyes, you can see all the skin jutting out.

I had it since 2 years ago but it was VERY mild. It's usually in reddish patches not bigger than 1cm around my cheeks. But then last 2 weeks was really bad--- it's like EVERYWHERE on my face and I went to a normal clinic. They said it was allergy and gave me some corticosteroid cream. It got better after awhile then it got VERY VERY much worse. I tried using the cream again but it doesn't work anymore. It just gets worse. and worse. and now I look like a snake changing skin.

Does anyone have this problem before? =/ I should see a dermatologist right? Actually I not sure it it's a small problem or what. It's only on my face. other parts of my body have no problem. I see a lot of people going to dermatologist for acne and eczema... But I don't even know what's my problem. I don't think it's eczema because it doesn't itch at all. This problem gave me so much stress at some point I just cried 'cause I can't tahan!

Any pc expert? >< Laptop lagging.

OctoberFly — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 20:15:16 +0800

Something is wrong with my laptop these few days. I'm using xps 15 and it's not suppose to laaag. Few days ago I realize that it start to freeze for 1 or 2 seconds then it's okay again.

I looked at the system restore and realize that win7 had update few days ago (which I think is probably the culprit). Then I system restored the pc back to before the win7 update... but the problem still persist.

It will lag and my mouse will move like snail and if there's music the sound would be like 'aaaeeee--ughhhh-aaaa---'. X_X okay I know maybe I describe it a little weird. I just don't know how to describe it ><! It happens randomly... but sometimes when I open new tab in chrome / loading new page then got. But it's not all the time. Sometimes it doesn't happen for few hours, sometimes it happens like every few minutes.

I defrag my lappy, I scan for virus but to no avail. I even used ccleaner too... and cleared my browsing history, cache and whatever. I tried everything I know and I don't know what to do anymore So i decided to post here

CSS border help.

OctoberFly — Sun, 16 May 2010 15:23:18 +0800

I tried
img{border: 10px #aeaeae}

then ALL the images in the blog have border around it. including the usericons.

I only want the image in the entries to be wrapped.
so the class is entry. but i have no control over the image posted in every entries.

<div class="entry">
[bad html removed]ENTRY['DATA']-->
[bad html removed]ENTRY['ATTACH']-->

I don't even know what code to start with.

I tried starting with
.entry{...
and I can't specify the image inside to be bordered around. If I do so, the whole box would be bordered.
So can anyone please help? I'm really sorry if it's a simple problem.

p/s: I never learn css before. I only read them from w3schools.com
(Idk if i'm in the right thread ><)

I don't know why I feel annoyed.

OctoberFly — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:55:01 +0800

There's this friend of mine that claimed that he likes a girl from his previous school.
As a friend, I just joking around about him and her and sometimes tell him what he should do to court a girl.

All of a sudden he told me he like me few weeks back. Before I could say anything he just told me that "oh forget it and bla bla bla".
Everything went really awkward; ah well, we didn't talk like usual. But he requested to forget about it and continue to be friends...like normal.
We often talk about games. But after that... It feels like we don't have anything common to talk about.

I realized that he was quite unhappy when I sit / talk to another guy classmates / friends. (Or should I say very unhappy.). I know why he felt like that but... I feel very annoyed when he show that angry face of his. I felt like... "hey I never accept you and I should still have my own freedom to talk to another person."

Then... He seem to know and wanna know everything about me; what I'm doing and all. I feel like... (annoyed again). It's my life and I don't like people pushing their heads into my life!

But I feel really guilty. Sometimes I would just somewhat said to him "why are you following me? You stalker ahh?" (not in a serious way) when he kept following me everywhere.

I feel like--- a little betrayed. I mean, HE TOLD ME he like someone else and I thought we can be really good friends you see. As in close... I EVEN TELL HIM WHAT ... the girl he likes would like to hear and everything. I felt like he lied to me. (Even though he probably didn't).

I know I should--- continue to be normal friends with him and ignore whatever he said. But I just feel angry at times when he just campur tangan in my everything.

I feel really guilty. I probably hurt his feelings.

Am I very very very wrong to feel like this? I mean, is it my fault? I mean... about feeling annoyed... or is he not doing the right thing? Should I just tell him that I don't like whatever he did? Or should I just shut up and fight back my annoyed feelings? =___=

Should I be a vet or a doctor?

OctoberFly — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 16:25:28 +0800

I just need some opinion.

I'm so stuck in between. I like both jobs. I love animals and I wanna be a vet after the death of my cat. I wanna help animals that are in pain; or at least ease the pain. And nowadays; people treat their pets like their family. I really want to let the owners to feel less worried.

VET

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

My parents wants me to be a doctor since I was in kindergarten. Dad thinks I'm smart enough to be one. Well, I always look forward towards medical field (veterinary medicine is a medical field too right?). I want to heal people that are in pain. I want to let their family feel relieved.

DOC

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Anyhow, both are to heal and restore health of the patient. Either animal doc or doc; I want to be a trusted doctor that gains trust from patients. (That's why I can't decide).
