The Maid - The 7th Month of Hungry Ghost

Been a while never watch typical horror movie...

The Maid is a Singapore movie, the 'maid' is a 20 yr old girl from Philipine, working as a maid.. :)

Watch this movie on the 7th Month of Lunar Calender, even though i don't feel much special, this movie has created a lot of cool atmosphere that reminds me of the past... When my mom told me the 'legend' and traditional chinese ghost stories..

Never go out late during the night of the Month of Hungry Ghost... This is the first warning, then, on 14th day of the 7th month, is where "The Hell" has "Open House"... invites you all!!!!

Of course, your friends may come out to 'play-play'... Look for their old 'friends' or 'lucky-ones'...

Are you the lucky one??

Traditional chinese opera that house in open field... Inviting the 'friends' to watch opera...

At the road site, you'll see 'candle-light-dinner' being prepared... No matter how many days you've starved, DON'T EAT!!!

If you saw someone eaten it... Gosh... how could you 'see' that????

more to come... feelings of eeerie...

The story happens during the 70s in Singapore, the old building blocks, people riding bicycle... Have you seen the 70s post box in Singapore???

It's a brand new experience of watching ghost movie during the month of Hungry Ghost... you want to join?? Come next year !!

Opps... forgotten to say - May The 'Force' Be With You...

Re-install Debian 3.1 after a while...

Few things i have in mind, this time i must preserve all my emails that saved in Thunderbird and all the bookmark(s), cache.

I use an application in WinXP that reads my ext2/3 partition in linux, make copies of .mozilla (firefox), .mozilla-thunderbird(as name implies) etc.... Then, after installation of my new Debian 3.1, (by default, the kernel allows read access of ntfs) then mount my ntfs directory (mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/win - ) and copy all the necessary directory over to my home directory.

Strange enough, only root can do all these. Have to find out how to allow normal user to read ntfs as well.... anyone knows??

The easiest way to make sure my Firefox and Thunderbird reads back all the configurations/logs/messages, is to enable all access (chmod -R 777 directory) then close one by one...

Phew... after almost 1 hour of apt-get of few day-to-day use apps, my linux box is coming back...

What else ah??... Uh... some chinese characters not being able to read... how come???

Uh.. use apt-cache search chinese, found quite a lot of chinese apps for viewing... ok... install it!!!

Thiam Teck, where are you going tonight??? Happy Merdeka!!!!

CentOS 4.1 - First timer!

It's been years i've never tried RH product ever since the RH5!

I tried to put aside rpm's command, but due to curiosity towards CentOS which is RHEL based source re-compiled, gave it a try...

Looks like Red Hat/Fedora Core to me....

Nothing much differences, i managed to download a 'patch' for kernel unsupported tools/filesystem cuz i need to view/read my ntfs and lvm partitions.

Well, everything goes pretty well, after rpm -Uvh package-name.rpm, everything works like charm... Opps.. yeah.. if you need to add features unsupported by the original kernel to it, better restart.. Wonder how come it doesn't ask me to restart the system???

But i presume it should 'auto' detect. But it seems like it's not module-like program. Finally, i rebooted the workstation, and voila!! I could mount ntfs and lvm...

Guess i'm better off go back to debian/slackware... but i'm using this workstation in the office, i guess making use of Debian is a better choice to me.. though i love to compile programs in Slackware...

that's about it... thanks to Thiam Teck... else i won't be blogging!!
