Hello,

I'm DELILAH

Backed with years of experience working with the startup industry, multinational corporations and government agencies, I developed strong Corporate Administration skills whilst practising agile and being data-driven.

Coming from a humble background, I found solace in giving back to the community as a way of paying it forward by dividing my spare time with volunteer work.

Cheers.

First time I saw it at the 4-junction in Damai (mau masuk 7-Eleven, Strawberry sana tu), I was...blurr. What is this? What is Borneo International Trade Fair?

The Body Shop Deals Widget!

I wanted to find The Body Shop Malaysia's website. But all I find is the USA's website. I thought Malaysia's website isn't so popular and has lesser traffic, but then, when I clicked here (picture below) to change my country;

the body shop deals widget

I was taken to a new tab window and this is what I saw. No Malaysia! Oh man! How can this be?? I never thought..well I never..There are Australia, Canada,Danmark / Denmark , Deutschland / Germany (this one looked like it's not working, it says "Unsere Seite wird gerade überarbeitet und noch besser, schöner und aktueller!", means "Our site is currently being revised and even better, more beautiful and timely!", according to Google translate ), España / Spain , France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, korea, Norway, Philippines, Switzerland , Singapore, South Africa, Suomi/ Finland, Sverige / Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom and USA. Phew! And this is an embarrassment!! Our neighbouring contries, Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore has their own The Body Shop website! And we, Malaysia, don't! Who's the owner or the CEO of the company that holds the Body Shop here in Malaysia? Do something, please.

Anyhuuuu, I want to share with you guys about the Body Shop Deals Widget! It's a html that you can post on your website or blog, linking the Body Shop's USA's latest promotion page. How nice! I just happen to go to their blog and saw this;

John Mayer found Replacement for Jennifer Aniston, Rashida Jones!

john mayer new girlfriend rashida jones
Well well well, Jennifer Aniston broke up with John for his Twittering obsession. It looked like he was so busy updating his twitter for stupid stuff and no time for even calling her back. So sad, huh?

Anyhuuuuu, he got himself a new girl! It's Rashida Jones, daughter of Quincy Jones! I wonder how long it took him to find a replacement.

John was spotted on a romantic date with Rashida Jones Friday night at the Chateau Marmont. The pair was having dinner in a secluded area and John took the guitar from a performer and did an impromptu performance for his her.



Awwww so nice...

The audience “went wild when he performed his new song,” Mayer even played his hit “Your Body is a Wonderland” for his date, Rashida.



I like that song! Well, doesn't sound so good now that I know this story..

Erectile Dysfunction

I think this is a very sensitive issue among men and this can lower our man's ego. So for those of you who's got this or knows anybody who has this, read up!

Erectile dysfunction is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection adequate for sexual function.

There are a lot of causes that may cause this -medication, depression, stress, hormonal abnormalities or it may be a sign for bigger health problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension, as well as the early stages of heart disease.

Ira Sharlip, MD, a urologist in the San Francisco recommends getting your guy evaluated for cardiovascular risk if there is a persistent erectile issue that lasts for three months or longer.

Well when you've done the first thing to do, which is get your guy to the doctor to get evaluated, stick to being there for him and tell him that you love him and something like, "I know we have a great sex life and everyone has concerns", Marianne Brandon, PhD, clinical psychologist, sex therapist strongly suggests.

Karin, 42, a teacher in Westchester County, N.Y., did her research on this subject online and brushed up on the medical condition before broaching the topic to her husband. She was more on curing his cardiovascular disease and he took it well!

So instead of getting viagra and pills, which gave her husband bad headaches after that, she developed an intense workout plan to help him shed 20 pounds, adopt a Mediterranean diet, and improve his circulation. It's something like living healthy lifestyle. They worked out five days a week for 12 weeks and saw a noticeable improvement in their sex life. Tadaaaaa!

Next is be creative in your sex life. Don't pressurize him in doing his best on giving you pleaseure, try to be less goal-oriented about sex and let go of the traditional notion that intercourse is what making love is all about and it’s got to end in orgasm. Focus more on exploring other methods of foreplay, ways of touching (nibbling, licking, sucking, feather) on different areas of the body and such, just have fun!

Whatever you do in improving his performance, get him to see doctor regularly and be there and don't judge him - you're both in this as this affects you both and your marriage, just think of on fixing the problem and be there for him, support him and think of any other way which can cause this problem to your spouse. Good luck! =).

Lamar Odom's Ex-Girlfriend, Liza Morales' Feedback on the Wedding

lamar odom's ex girlfriend liza morales picture
Liza Morales, left. Lamar Odom, right.

Following the marriage between Khloe Kardahian and Lamar Odom, Liza Morales, Lamar Odom's ex-girfriend for the past 10 years , is shocked and isn't somewhat okay with the marriage. I think she's in shock. And god, read the text he sent her in the paragraph below. It's heart wrenching for someone you love, sent you text like that, and you still haven't got over that person. Man he has no heart.

"I’ll never forget receiving that text it simply read: Getting married soon – want the kids to meet my future wife,” she revealed. "I’ve known Lamar for 15 years and we had three children together and he was always a real commitment phobe so finding out that he was marrying Khloe Kardashian so soon was a bombshell to say the least. "

Yeap, she is in shock. Who wouldn't, by the way? The fact that he had been with Liza for 10 years and dumped her and found Khloe and wed her after dating in just a month are good enough reasons to be! I think Lamar's got something, something not right. Yeah, I can see it.

lamar odom's ex girlfriend liza morales picture

She sure ain't happy.

Despite the disintegration of their relationship, Morales only wishes him the best: “I just hope that he has found true love now and that he has got married for the right reasons - not for Hollywood, publicity, money or fame. Lamar is basically a good guy who is very charismatic but he didn’t treat me well with regard to this marriage. I don’t know Khloe Kardashian, so, I can’t really comment on her and all that is important to me is my kids.”


Clearly she's not happy with him marrying Khloe huh. Of course la..who wouldn't. I think all she cares now are her two sons, Destiny and Lamar Jr.

And she got rid of his clothes! Wow after so long only then she threw it? And not all of it, some, just to give her some space!



"I did get rid of some of his clothes in the re-cycle bin but that was only to clear some space in the closet and to clear his energy from my place,” she explained.

And she's okay with Lamar seeing their kids and I think, hopefully, for Khloe too. Wonder how it will be when they three meet face to face..

"Despite everything that has happened I would never stop Lamar from seeing our kids and I’ve already checked his basketball schedule and hopefully he will be able to see them when the Lakers are on the east coast. I’m just trying to do my best right now but it has been tough at times but my kids and family keep me strong. I’ve got no intentions of going back to Los Angeles now.”

Kate Moss Latest Style Collection for Topshop Christmas 2009 is Here!





It's here ladies!! The much awaited Kate Moss's latest style collection for Topshop Christmas 2009 has finally arrived!

I have already told you guys about the notice of this collection's arrival on Thursday, 29 October 2009 in my last post, Kate Moss Latest Style Collection for Topshop Christmas 2009
.

Here are some of the pieces that I like! I'll tell you guys on how will I dress them up, just for ideas.

kate moss style collection for topshop christmas 2009This one is perfect for anything! Throw a straight-cut blazer or jacket over it with straight pants with flares at the bottom for office look! Necklaces or belts will make this dress nice too! Think of something like, natural but modern-like, such as wood pieces cut onto shiny smooth squares and triangles with metal comobined, or nude belts in brown and such colors will also look nice on this! Don't wear this with any skirt, doesn't flatter you much, unless it's a mini.

kate moss style collection for topshop christmas 2009 When I saw this, the 1st thing that came to my mind was valentine. Yeah, valentine! It comes in black too, but I prefer this one more. I can imagine myself wearing it with a sleeveless purple top that has frills at the round, broad neckline with long skirt. Or just a simple tank top underneath will do just as good! I think of demure, sweet and Korean-like style when I see this one.


kate moss style collection for topshop christmas 2009 I can see myself wearing this with a top or a dress that's bohemian-coloured. You know, natural, earthy colors - pale yellow, sand, green mountain, pale blue sky, those kind of colors. Pale, natural, not-hard-on-the eye colors. This will really pop the piece you're wearing!

kate moss style collection for topshop christmas 2009 Do I have to say more? Wear anything ugly in the world, this will cover it up for you! Go for an opera show, movie premier (well for those who are wealthy sure can pull this off), art gallery, something like that, you know. Evening functions will be not so recommended, doesn't fit the code for me.

kate moss style collection for topshop christmas 2009 Silk is good, skin won't get lines easily! It's true! Cotton will cause the skin to grab to it and moving while you sleep will easily create lines on your skin!

kate moss style collection for topshop christmas 2009 Oh maaan wish I can have this one! This looks cute if paired with a puffed sleeve, white top underneath it!

Scammer: Katherine Poll via Screen Capture Software

Okay, first of all, I'm having period now and I puked 6 horus ago and never ate until just now, banana and a glass of muesli, refilled twice.

And I'm still hungry and feeling nausea. Is this how pregnancy feels?

I'm afraid if I eat I'll be throwing up again. Oh well, I guess I have to, I know I'll feel better. All these are due to my period and the cold drinks. My guy scolded me again. For the millionth time. xD

Wish me luck aite. =3


Okay now for the blog post, I received an email on my gmail account today at 6.23pm, after about 3 hours.

All the pictures are small and you have to click on it to view it and zoom (the zoom button at the bottom right corner of the screen for Internet Explorer and "Ctrl" + scroll up or down for Mozilla Firefox)

subject : Screen Capture Software

Dear Glamiva,

May I ask you to place the link bellow to our Screen Capture Software anywhere on your blog? If you agree, please send me the link where you placed the link and I will present you with a license for free.

Here is the link (DON'T GO TO THE LINK BELOW, IT HAS VIRUS!):




You may place this link alone without description or on existing post or create new post with a short description (language and text is up to you)

Feel free to get information about product here: http://www.digeus.com/products/snapit/snapit_screen_capture_3_5.html

P.S. Don't change text in the link. It should be "Screen Capture Software".

Sincerely,
Katherine Poll



I'll tell you my reply to her below ya, please read on. =)

I was sceptical. I mean, if you come from a reliable and established website, won't you have a like, a nicer introduction and something that says like,

"Greetings, we are a beauty website portal that sells all kinds of beauty products ranging from skin care, hair care, body care, tools and kits from Korea =their website url here=. We have a proposition for you..." bla bla bla. Suppose there should be some pictures and headers or background graphics, right? So I was suspicious. And there wasn't enough info on the so-called licence she talked about. What licence??? Licence to kick her scammer butt?

I told you guys about my encounter with Daniella Kamche on getting her so-called 2 Siberian Husky pets and I learnt afterwards about full headers of emails from an anonymous that commented on my follow up post that displays the acocunt name and address of the scammer via Western Union Bank.


Headers are like, the codes, the html codes of emails. It can tell you the ip address of both sender and receiver, via what website, bla bla bla. So it's really useful when you want to track or verify somebody who's emailing you.

How to get headers for gmail? There are tons of methods of extracting headers for yahoo and msn but rarely on gmail. I'll tell you how.

scam katherine poll screen capture software

Go to the email that you want the header for it, click the arrow (points down)that's next to "Reply". Then click "Show Original". You will be directed to a new window and there you go, the header!

Here are the header for the email I got.

scam katherine poll screen capture software

Okay, I'm not soooo pro in this header thingy, all I know is ip address is something that you can look up and you can tell where the email was sent from via a series of numbers separated with dots.

So I just looked for this (it's at the upper part of the code) below:

Received: from server15.namecheaphosting.com (server15.namecheaphosting.com [205.251.130.130])

See the numbers in red? I googled it and found this.

I can't believe this. It's from a server called ns15.namecheaphosting.com and expires in 41 days. So well, I know this person's no good. If you're a REAL company with trustworthy products and service, there's no such thing as using a free server and the website's expiry date is within 40+ days only. It's usually in years.

I googled the email, and found this blog. I was like, oh man. It's true, the sender's no good.

Katherine (scammer) told the blogger, Sara Elizabeth Bonds, if she would like to write a review on the product, SnapIt Screen Capture 3.5 and so Sara, obviously have to download the software in order to use it and review it. She went to the link given in the email and her Kapersky went nuts - the page has virus and if a computer that doesn't have a good anti virus, sure the virus can hack into the computer and steal all the user's information (passwords, login id's, security number, etc).

But for I, it's not SnapIt Screen Capture 3.5, it's Screen Capture Software. No name for it I guess.

After I saw this, I replied Katherine Poll. I could've just delete it and never think about it anymore but I wana play. xD

So my reply (the 1st pictuer above) was:

hi, what license are you talking about? May i see yours? And who are you? What is your compay's name?


Hehe. Let's see how it goes. I'll keep you guys updated. =)

Kate Moss Latest Style Collection for Topshop Christmas 2009

Here it is! Kate's latest collection will come in an oriental opulence to Christmas 09! (wonder why oriental for Christmas?) There will be not just party dresses, silk nightwear will also make its debut on next Thursday! Kate wore her Rose Print Pyjama Set on the picture above.

Here's the scoop on her interview!
What inspired you to create a nightwear collection?
I love beautiful nighwear, it makes you feel great. Over the years, I've collected millions of vintage slips, nighties, camis and bed jackets. Who doesn't want fab nightwear for Christmas!?

How did you go about designing the collection?
I just dreamt up what I wanted in my wardrobe, I've very much approached my collection like this over the past couple of years. There are some great basics like the fish net set (which I love) and it develops into some really chic vintage chiffon teddys which I just couldn't find aywhere. I used some of my favourite prints from previous collections like the vintage rose and the swarms of butterflies from my last collection.

Describe your favourite pieces in the collection..
I love the short 30s style dressing gown and the matching night dress. That sounds frumpy; it's more like a slip! It has a new butterfly print which was influenced by the oriental feeling that dominates the new collection. I was inspired by one of my favourite vintage pieces and it's prefect for the getting ready part of the evening. It's a glamourous pre-outfit or a super-glamorous lounging look!

Will you be wearing your favourites out of the house!?
Yes, but I plan to have clothes over the top! I have gone out in PJ's before. I remember very distinctly being stuck in a snow storm in New York wearing pyjamas - that was hillarious! I might wear some of the PJ tops out as a layer, instead of a shirt, but probably not as a set.

Congrats Kate! I love this one below, I sure will wear it out! Wish I can have it..it looks so nice!

Preventing Varicose Veins

prevent visible capillaries varicose veins
You know the unsightly green, bluish, root-like thingy that you often can see on the inner side of the wrist, calves or inner arm area? It's called varicose veins.

Definition


Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged and tortuous. When pressure is exerted on the veins, the valves that's supposed to prevent backflow of the blood will be damaged and the blood flows back, thus making the veins bigger and visible. Not so nice to see eh?

I have heard of my teacher's neighbour who's in her golden age, and has this serious, critical varicose veins on her legs. It bulges, big like the lime tree's roots. Then one day she was having her shower, the veins just burst out and she only realized it seconds later and passed out. There was a pool of blood around her after that. Scary huh? I don't know what happened to the poor lady after that though.



So ladies, especially those who use pumps, sky-high killer heels to work, read this and listen to me: IT'S NOT WORTH IT RISKING YOUR LEG'S APPEARANCE AND POSSIBLY, YOUR LIFE FOR LOOKING EXTRA GOOD FOR 8 HOURS EVERYDAY. Wearing heels ruins the backbone too, you know? I wear wedges now stead of heels, I find them very comfortable and I know I won't trip or get off-balance with them and I only wear them sometimes, about once a week. Other than that, sandals or flats. Comfortable, easy to wear and mostly, won't give you ugly varicose veins.

I found this great article on how to prevent it at Totalbeauty.com!

There are 2 ways mentioned on preventing them, one is keep your calf muscles toned or two, wear compression hoses if your feet hurt from standing. That's really smart!

Let's just assume that we already have an S.O.S case with varicose veins and needs help, consider Sclerotherapy (injecting a chemical solution into the vein with a hair thin needle) is the main treatment, but lasers are used in specific circumstances. If they are causing you pain or you just want to get rid of them, talk to your doctor. I've heard of SMC here in Kota Kinabalu (Damai there) offers some injection on removing varicose veins and it sure costs thousands, around RM5k I think, according to my friend.

So let's us all heed the advice and prevent varicose veins from now on!

Sky Smoke Seen On Sunday Afternoon!



I want to share with you all what I saw last Sunday! Mom wanted to do her weekly mnarket shopping for fish and all..There was sky smoke!! I was at the Pasar Besar KK at...around 12pm like that. I was just going to get into the car at the car park and then I saw this!

sky smoke at kota kinabalu sabah

Nice kan? Like the alphabet X!!!

Here's another one, the left end of the X!

sky smoke at kota kinabalu sabah



Nice huh? Like it came out from the cloud there... xD

Wanted to take more pix, but my mom told me to get in already..was late for lunch at Mrs Raja's house already...




HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS RAJA!!

May God Bless you days and sends you angels everyday to look after you..







Boy the food was very..inviting should I say. xD. All were hand made from scratch!! And since it was Deepavali the day before, she offered loads of dishes! And I couldn't finish them all!

Turns out her son's gonna go for a course that teaches on how to use a machine that is used by all VIP's, including the ministries, and PM himself. And it costs about RM10,000 for one-time treatment (this was long time ago, at Kuala Lumpur. One of my dad's friend, a real rich person did it. Don't know now how much la it costs). It's something like dialysis, but it's for cleaning the blood. All the fats, toxins, all bad stuff will be filtered in the machine and oxygenated blood will be added to your blood before putting them back into your body.

The result? Just look at our former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Doktor Mahathir Muhammad. Amazing kan? Youth and young again!

So Mrs Raja's son is gonna finish the course in 3 weeks and is looking for a place for running his clinic (with Mr Raja! =D) next year. So now I'm looking for one. =)

I had a great time there, Mrs Raja, well, was all happy and as cute as ever, like a kid in a woman's body. xD She's always energetic and all..

Hope I'll be seeing her for long time more. =) God bless her and her family. I'm coming again for New Year...thinking of taking pictures...

Barbie by Christian Louboutin?

Okay. It turns out that Christian Louboutin is gonna redesign Barbie for he thinks she has fat ankles. What???? Despite all the critisism that Barbie has endured for so long, Louboutin insists the doll has ‘cankles’, or fat ankles. Oh God. Save her.

The Telegraph quoted a Louboutin spokeswoman as telling Metro: “They’re completely wild and even come with mini Louboutin boxes for the shoes.”

She added: “He found her ankles were too fat.”



Wow, that's nice, with the mini Louboutin boxes. But who is he to judge our favourite doll?? I think she has the nicest body all around man!

Net-A-Porter has posted a statement about it's debut. Don't know when, but you can sign up to get notified when it's out!

Easiest Comment Box Code

blog comment box code tutorial




Glamiva had a problem yesterday, when I tried to see the comments, I can't.
This one doesn't have comments so I think that's why it won't take me to it.

Then I tried to see posts with comments and when I clicked at the same button, it didn't take me anywhere, none. Just there, only the sound clicks. So I opened the post's tittle and tried to post a comment there.

blog comment box code tutorial
I clicked at the pointed button like above and nothing happened. Then only I knew that the layout that I just took few weeks ago isn't working fully.

Easy HTML Code Box for Sidebars!

I posted about how to get your own button on your website on my previous post. But it was big and won't fit into sidebars. It will look like this:
html code box for sidebars blog

I found this article, and thank you whoever posted it, just nice for the side bar's size. Although it can be a bit wider tho. =P But I have no complains. =)

I copied this code provided;


and paste it on a new bog post here in blogger. It will look like this in Preview:

Your content in here.


I thought of just putting my pic's code into the code above, but it turned out to be like this in Preview:

html code box for sidebars blog


See my post on how to get the pic code, step 4-6. Mine's size is 251 wide x122 height. Remember to change the url of the pic to your own ya!

So how?? Hehe no worries. Go here, put your pic's code into the box provided and click HTML to Text button. The code takes a blink of an eye to process and automatically highlighted for you to copy it.

Copy the code and put it in the code box I meantioned.


<a href="http://glamiva.blogspot.com"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 98px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kzuqSgBLlFE/StVgGrxT6BI/AAAAAAAABI0/vHvLak8aUK8/s320/Button.bmp" border="0" alt="html code box for sidebars blog"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392321796791068690" /></a>


Tadaaaaa!! All you have to do now is just put your pic's code above the code box's code.

To put it in your layout, go to Layout >> Page Elements >> Add Gadget >> HTML/JavaScript. Paste both codes (both for pic and the code box under it) you have on the post, give it a tittle and click Save.

There you go! Have fun! =)

My pic and the code above is like this because when I upload the pic, I set it to the left hand side. But no worries, it turned out just like the one I have on my blog now- the code is underneath the picture! =) So have fun y'all! Please do link me when you're using this, I spent hours on it! Thanks for reading!

Easy Blogger Search Box

I changed my layout recently and the layout doesn't provide a search box in the css code. So I tried adding Blogger's widget. Add a Gadget> Search Box> OK. Took so long to load man..Then I tried looking for the post I want to find, which was Raya. I know I posted one about Raya, the one I did a make up tutorial for the first day Raya 2009. I typed and it says none. So, feeling weird, I searched for it (manually) on my Blog Archieve. Turns out I did post it and I was mad. How come my post doesn't show up??

Khloe Kardashian Admits Quickie Wedding Was "Crazy

khloe kardashian admits wedding was crazy
Looks like Khloe's still sane. She said this on The View on Friday morning:

"I got married a month to the day that [we] met, so I know it's crazy," the reality star, 25, said on The View Friday.

But she said, "I knew I was in love with him after a couple days."


She said she doesn't think falling in love that fast is that unusual. Her mother Kris Jenner wed Bruce Jenner after just four months together, and they're still happy, she noted.

Khloe said she's never felt "this way" when she's around Odom, 29, "how in love I am with him, and how he is with me."

"I can't explain it," she added. "It's so cute."

She talked to Odom on the phone the night before appearing on The View the next day morning, and he made her run out to the Apple store to buy a new laptop so they could iChat, said Khloe, who flashed her 9-carat ring on the show.

Oh and FYI, her name is now "Khloe Kardashian Odom."

Go here to see her wedding pix. She looked so beautiful!

President Barack Obama Won Nobel Peace Prize!

president barack obama won nobel prize
Last Friday, President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize! Why? Because according to the committee via Anythinghollywood.com;

"Obama’s diplomacy has brought the world together (metopharically) and he has been steadfast on his efforts to cut down on nuclear weapons"

Well, many thinks he somewhat doesn't deserve it, for they think Obama hasn’t done enough to earn such coveted prize. Well...for me, this award is for people who has accomplished something. Has he? I don't somehow get this, what were the committee thinking??

According Former Polish President Lech Walesa, who won the prize in 1983 said (via The Huffington Post):

So soon? Too early. He has no contribution so far. He is still at an early stage. He is only beginning to act,” Walesa said. “This is probably an encouragement for him to act. Let’s see if he perseveres. Let’s give him time to act,” Walesa said.

Obama, as humbles as he is already, was surprised and deeply humbled by the honor, which he said he does not see “as a recognition of my own accomplishments,” but rather as a recognition of goals he has set for the United States and the world. “I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize."

Well said, president!

Recent Comments for Blogger

I have the easiest way to get the Recent Comment widget (like the one I have now, on my blog here). Just put on a code and put in your url. No editing your layout, no adding any complicated codes, no converting, just copy and paste!

I got this code from MadTomato and I think, even kids can do this widget on their own! Just copy the code here, provided by MadTomato:



How did I put the code in the box? Go here.

Then look for this line, it should be at the botom part of the code;

src=”http://YourOwnB1og.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default


And replace the part "YourOwnB1og.blogspot" with your page's url!

I don't know if this code widget works for other blog platforms like Wordpress or what, but you can try!

Massive Jam in Luyang-Kolombong due to Black Out

jam at luyang kota kinabalu sabah
Just now it was blackout the whole...err..Luyang-Kolombong area. The electric was out at Damai Point while I was waiting for my car. Then as I was on the way back home via the City Mall road to Taman Khidmat, I was shocked to see there was a jam from the place where the hill starts! Just a few metres away from the traffic light!

It was so jammed, the other side of the road too, was jam. And then I saw it- City Mall, black out! That was amazing, cars were going out of it and contributing more to the pack. Water was everywhere on the sides of the road on some spots and had to be careful when you pass it. Road lamps were all off, houses were in total darkness, except the ones with generators.

Then, lucky us all Kota Kinabalu people, the lights were back on just when I was at Esso there! Thank god, if not I had to wait in my uniform to bathe till the lights kick in!

Facebook Application Games: Yoville and Fish World Not Loading

I was introduced to these two apps by my friends who play them (credits to Denise and Kak Du!) and I love it till now! But, the past few days have been nerve-wrecking for me as the games can't be played. Before this it was okay, I could play it.

Yoville is stuck at either 35% or 75% on "connecting to server", or the screen is all white. I'll show the screenshots for this app's problem. I had problem with using facebook too as the server seemed not responding and it tool long time before I gave up and hope the next day will be okay. My browser is Internet Explorer.


facebook yoville fish world not loading
Most common problems I had when I want to launch the app is these two above. It's either the loading is stuck at 35% or 75% or error or none at all, all white screen.

This game enables you to send free gifts to your friends and invite your friends to join the game application. But, when I want to select friends on the friend's list, there were none. No names, no friends list. It was so dissappointing as I wouldn't remember who gave me those gifts and feel bad for not sending them back.

And for the Fish World application, I had these problems the same time as I had with Yoville.

The tank is already loaded and the contents. The loading was stuck at certain percentage, varying between users. I was stuck on 19% and my friends, 70%, 34%. I waited for more than 30 minutes and gave up. Everyday.

facebook yoville fish world not loading
The loading of the application stuck somewhere and didn't went up no matter how long I've waited.

For all of these problems, I tried refreshing, clearing all my history, caches, cookies, etc and go back to the page. Still, no results. It was when I downloaded and installed Mozilla Firefox (I used Internet Explorer before) that I managed to find out why.

facebook yoville fish world not loading

When there was a problem with either of the apps, Internet Explorer was either blank out or stuck but with Mozilla, when I tried opening Yoville, it showed this sleeping round figure (above) and told me that I needed Adobe Flash Player 9. Even when I tried to open Fish World, it showed this Adobe Flash Player button and linked to the download page. Oh god. Why didn't I get Mozilla earlier? All my cakes in Yoville were burnt, I couldn't get in for 3-4 days you know?

So I downloaded the installer and installed. The game was a smooth player after that, thank goodness. No more headaches, problems solved! It took faster than before and I am very pleased!
