Configuring Singnet Modem / Router

November 29, 2008 – 11:02 am

When you are not using Singnet lousy modem given to you during sign up, you will have to specify some of the parameters for your third-party modem/router in order to connect to the Internet.

Calling their technical support will be waste of time because most of them don’t really know what is the problem or bringing you go 1 big round.

Ahh… so some of the parameters required to specify for Singnet are as below:

Encapsulation: PPPoE
Multiplexing method: LLC-based
VPI: 0
VCI: 100
MTU: 1400

Well, if your modem or router support the configuring of MTU, then set it to 1400. Don’t ask me why.

Life's stress

November 25, 2008 – 10:46 pm

Yes, quite stressful for me.
I am eliminating my tons of need-to-do tasks and clearing obstacles so that I can have a better life ahead. Life is short, we need to make better usage of it.

Someone once said: “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.”

Cherish the moments, do what you need to do. Plan ahead and crown the top :)

Lost Evidence: "Pearl Harbor"

November 24, 2008 – 9:39 pm

On the fateful day of 7th December 1941, the Japanese (Imperial Japan) shocked the world by deploying the largest aerial attack, on Pearl Harbor.

It was a surprise attack, catching the U.S army off guard and the world best fighter jet at the time, Japan Mitsubishi Zero-fighter, caused devastating damages to the target. The Japanese engineers has also devised a modified torpedo such that when the torpedo is dropped onto the sea, it will “swim” towards the target through a board powered by the bomb propeller. This effectively allow the zero-fighter to aim and destroy battleships more accurately.

Nevertheless, the whole history was documented through The History Channel aired on UK. More information can be found in the videos below:
