The chronicle of Creative Zen Micro - The Operation

The Operation

My Creative Zen Micro is giving me problems again since the last problem it gave me end of last year. That time, the problem was a bliss as it was still under warranty (THANK GOODNESS!), they replaced 1 to 1 for me! Ahahahha!

Now it is not giving me any bliss. I wondered how I 'successfully' make it malfunction, but damn I broke the hardware. I hate using newest version of window media player to deal with micro as it's not that user-friendly than wmp10 version, so while I was frustrated trying to make everything works normal, damn it worked even worse.

Yesterday I called C2O, the company who is dealing with Creative's service support, he said it's the hardware problem and the service will cost Rm150. Damn!

So since now I know what might be the problem of my micro, I tried to do a surgery on it myself. I googled for the instruction steps to disassemble that poor thing, and I followed step by step. Amazingly, it's just like the way to disassemble a Polar HRM! The differences are micro is much more bigger and abit more complicated.

Random pictar time:
1. A very clever idea to announce lifts' malfunction! Taken at Wisma Persekutuan Kota Bharu!

'If you want to use stairs, you must be healthy'

Yeah right Nee SKB

Anyway, the lifts are working fine.

2. The CPT opposite Perdana Hospital. I'm not a big fan of tapai, so I gave it to dad. The cendol and pulut is good~

Danok One Day 'Decent' Trip

Image
Since there is a request on writing this post (and I'm freaking damn honored!), so here it goes... On Friday, Wesak Day, we (me, CK, Voon and BeeYing) went to Danok for a day trip. It was initially a plan to have the cheap steamboat after I had one on January, but, you know, delays and delays happen. Until one day, we had enough and decided this is it!! Since CK has been there few times at night, I have been there once at night, the other two never been there, and they can NONE about description or recommendation of day trip in Danok online, we decided we gonna give it a try (a day-trip try). Departed from Kangar after breakfast around 9.30AM, reaching Bukit Kayu Hitam about an hour later and traffic jam!!! It took us around one hour (!!) for a journey of 200 m to reach and cross the Malaysian border checkpoint. SO many people were going 'overseas' on the 3-days long weekend plus school holiday. Parked the car at the Duty Free mall and walked for about 200 m to cr...

黄山，安徽省黄山市 WARNING: Damn long post! Initially, I was thinking about writing the whole events of my East China trips, not as detailed but just as slightly explained as I could, but I don't think I can. Hehe. So, I'll just write about my most satisfied trip, and leave the rest for the pictures I've uploaded in Facebook to tell the tale. This would be one of my best trips ever in my whole life. The fact is that, my confession to most of friends and family who don't know yet , it is my first solo backpack trip! v(^.^)v It has been a long and 'secret' planning, that I have said a lot of white lies to make it come true. I'm sorry to those I've lied, I have a sin. A big one =( Solo backpack in a foreign country is hassle free if you make detailed yet adjustable planning, where you can either follow what you have planned or making some adjustment according to the situation later in your trip accordingly. A planning is crucial especially if you are the kind of by-...
