I have been having this error the entire day. I have had this error before.

Basically I am not able to sign in into MSN Messenger and it gives and error message [error 81000314]. I thought it was something to do with the MSN Messenger service being unavailable due to maintenance or upgrading works.

Today, I got fed up (mainly because I am on night shift and there is really nothing much to do). So I did a search on the Internet and found out that this error has plagued many others. The official response is to “Wait and try again”

Hmmm… what kind of response is that? I have waited the entire day, and still the same thing. It is not maintenance or upgrading work. This error occurs only to selected domains at a time. My other contacts in MSN are able to log in. So what is wrong? My proxy server acting up? Yes, my proxy server is acting up, but when it does, it usually means connection problems. IE. dropped connections.

So.. I guess the big and mighty tech conglomerate has much similarities with our dear local auto-manufacturer.

Customer : My car got this problem that problem
Service fella : Aiya… local car mar. What you expect? Sure got some problem wan lar. Normal.
Customer : So can solve or not wan?
Service Fella : Aiya.. small small problem.. need to solve meh?
Customer : But this is my first service wor. Of course wan to solve lar
Service Fella : *show black face* Ok lar… solve for you lar

Customer collects car 6 hours later, problem 1, 5 and 12 solved. But 5 new problems surfaces.

AHAHAHA…..

Thank goodness my car have not given me much problems.. *touches wood*

My advise : When going Redang, do allocate one day to recuperate.

So how was my trip?

Great!!

This is the pic in front of the resort.

Day time…

Sun rise time..

Nice leh.. white sandy beach.. clear blue waters.

The last time, we took a lot of pictures, but most of them in the room, while having dinner.. pics like that. Because I do not have a waterproof camera, or casing, so too sayang the digicam dun wanna bring to the beach.

This time around, we got ourselves this fellow …

A Sony digicam in an underwater housing.

It is not easy to use. AHAHA. because, for one thing, I did not know if the camera was switched on or not. The LCD was washed out. Dunno how to compose the pics also. Resulting in…

But later on got the hang of it…

This is Lilian. She is a real good swimmer…

Oh.. the other good thing about having a waterproof camera, beside taking underwater pics, is that you can take pics without worrying about getting the camera wet.

So we also took pics from the boat..

How much is it to rent the underwater camera?

RM30… use from 9am-5pm. 5 megapixel came with a 128mb stick only. But still OK lar. Set to 3mp or something like that.

9-5 is enough to capture 2 snorkelling trips. After that, rely on your own camera lar. Like what we did. After tea, it was another 3 hours to dinner time, so we did some stunts..

This one… Linda’s timing was spot on.. either that or she was a nano second too slow in pressing the shutter button. HAHAHA… whichever it is, nice shot hor?

Oh.. and this one guy.. he came and joined in.. and he did a backflip dive.

*gasp*

Waaaaa… I oso wanna do!!!

First try.. kenot

Second try… still kenot..

Third time the charm… ok lar.. not as keng, but still ok lar.

and nothing beats downing a ice cold Tiger Beer in the middle of a hot hot humid day after doing all those stunts.

One pic for the album!!

This one specially for Avril

Food was nothing special…

BBQ for the first night’s dinner. Other time…. normal local dishes.

After dinner? *sigh* normal lar.. all the guys would be in front of the TV watching the 9-11pm football match.. but… after 11pm.. now that is when the party starts heating up. Due to the environment, 11pm.. without alcohol… can already go gila a bit. Add alcohol… Fuh..

Waaa… so hot and happening… I also wanna get into the action lar..

I try Saturday Night Fever…

I try MC Hammer

It worked!!!

Than I try again… This one I dunno try wut..

It worked even better!!! hehehehehe

Then …

try try try try… sweat until shirt also transparent liao..

Waaahh.. then hor… effort worth it lar…

hottest babe on the dance floor

There were some hot steamy action going, but kenot show too much lar… here’s a little peak..

All in all.. great fun.

Would I do it again? Definitely.

There are some more pictures lying around somewhere, would need time to organise them. There is also another camera which I have not seen the pics yet. So.. patience okie? :p

UPDATE

Just received the pics from Lilian’s camera.

Reliving my school days.. still can la.. a bit bit..

According to the our ‘kamcheng’ member at the resort, these are the two hottest, most talked about babes at the resort.

Limpeh not happy, cos no one talked about me. So limpeh show face. Kamcheng member was quick to point out that…. SOME lady mentioned to him that I was cute

Cute?? What cute??? Can you …..

… call this cute???

More like.. macho.. or.. cool.. or something like that lar. Cute pulak.. cis!!

Prolly it is that old aunty who was trying to chat me up the one who said I was cute. Cheh… so disappointed.

Anyways, we had some some time on our hands, and after that stunt diving thingie, we did some modelling… yeah.. MODELLING!! Dun pray pray!!

Not bad hor? Aspiring models, potential photographer.

You know, you can NEVER see GL and myself like this..

And this is what happens when you are exposed to too much sun..

It’s all in a day’s play..
