Phew… If you had come to my site past two days, you would have noticed that my site was down. On Tuesday, I tried to upgrade my WordPress to 2.8.. I left it running in the office whilst I went back for lunch. Upon returning, my PC froze.. So I restarted my PC and went to check on my upgrade. But alas.. A blank white page appeared with something like “Fatal Error……….” I couldn’t even entered the admin. I tried to google for a solution but inda jua dapat. Yes there were explanations on how to restore it but I just couldn’t get it to work. In the end, I had to email my support at MaxHosting… They were really friendly and tried their best to help. They gave me instructions on what I should do, but I still could not get my site running.

Menyasal eh me-upgrade ani.. Two whole days my site was down. One thing I was scared of is takut all my posts will be gone… sayang jua tu. Now baru tah menyasal did not do any backup. I emailed MaxHosting a couple of times and they replied to each and every email I sent. Finally this morning, they managed to restore back my site. Although my latest post on ‘Shabu Shabu-ing’ was missing, I was really glad that they managed to restore back my site.

So lesson learned… Not to upgrade anything without first making a backup! I think I’ll leave my wordpress as it is and inda payah tah upgrade to the latest version.

I do have a question though for you all…. how do you backup your website? I was thinking of making a duplicate blog elsewhere… what do you think people?

Finished reading this and started this!

*Its getting more interesting*

It is indeed a lazy Sunday. Rain has not stopped since yesterday. Did not do much today. I was even lazy to cook lunch. Hubby being a morning person already headed off to the gym early in the morning. Woke up the kids and decided to just eat out. Didn’t go far, just a one minute drive (jalan kaki pun bulih) but it was still drizzling. Reached Aminah Arif and wah ramai orang, full house. I guess everyone malas kan masak today. We managed to get a table at the opposite kedai. The kids and hubby had this:



..and as for me, biasa lah, nda pandai so had this…

Rain stopped at around 2pm so I hanged out the clothes to dry although I don’t think they’ll dry today. Its now 4.30pm and its kinda dark outside and fortunately I have a ‘mobile’ clothes hanger so tarik saja ke garage.

I’m now lazying in my room watching TV, trying to finish NEW MOON and surfing the net all at the same time *hehe*.

The hubby just finished shopping thru the net. Biasa lah tu disini:

And I just finished the checkout for him. That’s what happens if you spend so much time on the internet, online retail therapy is just so tempting :)

We don’t plan to go anywhere today, although ada jemputan doa arwah/tahlil karang malam. Not sure we’ll go. Its been a while also we have not gone to my parents and in-laws in Bunut and KB. The kids are having their exams tomorrow and I hope they are studying upstairs.

Last week, went to Miri and bought this:

Dulu pernah ada, long time back tapi antah dimana tia kah. So I think I’ll pop into the Sauna later. (Burn off the extra extra calories)

I have a few things running in my mind past few days. I just don’t know what to do. All I can do at the moment is pray and hope that everything will turn out ok. Insya-Allah.

Enough about me, so how is your Sunday??

Its Saturday which means its family day for the HSN Family. I try to make sure that the whole HSN family (well there’s only six of us) do something together. Mostly we’ll have lunch outside and catch a movie. We watched HSM3 today and inda sangka I found it siok. At first I didn’t think it would be great but I was wrong, it was actually awesome (chewwah). Banar tah, didn’t think that a 30 plus something mom would enjoy this movie but I actually did. I’ve already watched both HSM1 & HSM2 but I think HSM3 is the best. Walaupun banyak singing *nama nya jua musical* it was quite entertaining. Really loved the ending part, masa the ‘play’ and ‘graduation’, was a bit teary too *hehe*. Oh loved the songs….

Anyway, a fairly good movie. Must watch, bring the kids!

Look who’s reading the Twilight Saga now.. hehe
In case you’re wondering the price of the books… read on! (this is for you ‘guest’)

Twilight (498 pages) – B$18.80 (Best Eastern) – i’m sure this would have cost less at Readers Haven

New Moon (563 pages) – B$17.80 (Booker)

Eclipse (629 pages) – B$21.00 (Booker)

Breaking Dawn (754 pages) – B$20.00 (Reader’s Haven)this costs B$26.00 at Best Eastern

So if you’re looking for a good bargain (locally), I suggest you go to Reader’s Haven but last time I went, they only had ‘Breaking Dawn’ available.

Update: I have nearly finished reading ‘New Moon’

Oct 16

Sampai tah sudah hajat. (Told you that I could’nt wait till the weekend). The hubby had to go to FZ tonight for something and Muizz jalan berhari raya so the girls and I decided to go out. Main agenda was to get a copy of ‘you know what’ from Best Eastern. Tapi nya, when we got there, the books were not there.. arrgghh. Abis wah, atu kan banyak ari atu! The only one left was ‘Breaking Dawn’ which I have already bought from Readers Haven (glad I bought it there becuase it costs $6 more in Best Eastern) *thanks again to Deeya for the info*.

So I asked the salesgirl when the books will arrive and she said probably next week. We then asked her to call the other branches to check if they have it in stock. The branch at Manggis had only Eclipse atu pun tinggal one copy saja. She asked me if I wanted to reserve it but I said no (jauh kali ah). The Athirah & Rimba branch also were sold out (eh laku jua ah).

So we left Best Eastern a bit disappointed. I guess I will just have to wait. After round-round at the Mall (the girls bali baju), I remembered Bookers International just around the corner. It started to drizzle a bit. So we drove off to Bookers. I let the girls out first because nada parking. Ina terus cakap… “Ma, ada Ma, tu Ina nampak ah”. She could see the book from outside. So I hurriedly cari parking, baik jua ada. We went inside and I saw ‘New Moon’ (last copy), ‘Breaking Dawn’ and ‘Twilight’. I asked the girl if they have ‘Eclipse’. At first she said ‘nada’, then when we went to the cashier to pay for ‘New Moon’, the other lady then told t
he sales girl to take out a copy of ‘Eclipse’ from underneath which was supposed to be reserved for someone but I guess that person has not come to collect it.

So yeahhh I bought both ‘New Moon’ & ‘Eclipse’. So know I have the whole ‘Twilight Saga’. I can’t wait to start reading but I just had to update this blog to let you guys know *hehe*. I finished Twilight in just a couple of days. These other books will sure keep me busy for the next week or so.

Oh one more thing, the price at Bookers is also a bit cheaper than at Best Eastern but not as cheap as Readers Haven (just for info)… I pass by Readers Haven everyday (twice a day actually.. to/from work and I don’t know why I haven’t singgah dulu)..

Ok peeps, I’m off to start reading New Moon :)

Sweet dreams!

Oct 14

Dropped by Readers Haven after work today, konon kan mambali the 2nd book of the Twilight Series i.e. ‘New Moon‘. Tapinya, nada.. The lady said it was out of stock and would probably arrive end of the month. I don’t think I can wait that long. Not my day… I finished reading ‘Twilight‘ last night and eagarly waiting to start ‘New Moon‘. Readers Haven only had this:

which is Book 4 of the Twilight Series. We left the store empty handed, skali when we were about to drive out, pikir tah ku jua, might as well buy it since its available, so Mira went to the store again and bought ‘Breaking Dawn‘. Lets hope I can refrain myself from peeking into the book….I need to read New Moon and Eclipse first.

So I’m planning a visit to Best Eastern soon… jauh lagi and normally we only go jalan during the weekends, so guess I’ll have to wait till then (antah tahan kah jua tu)..

Oct 13
Just before raya, last day of puasa to be exact, I went to Best Eastern to search for something to read. Went around and saw P.S I Love You. I was told that the book is better than the movie itself, so I bought that. Then just next to this novel, there were four black cover novels which kinda attracted my attention. TWILIGHT. The story is about a girl who fell in love with a Vampire. That’s all I’m gonna say..

Photobucket
I also heard that TWILIGHT the movie will be premiered sometime in November. Can’t wait to watch that.

I haven’t completely finished reading TWILIGHT just yet but I’ll be making a trip to the book store again soon to buy the next of the TWILIGHT series i.e. NEW MOON
