Went to QQestore before Friday prayer to pick up my order. While I was checking my order, AnakBrunei came in.... also want to pick up his order. Hmmm... Big boys does like to buy new toys. Call up the store boss that I'm around. AnakBrunei got to introduce himself to Nicky and told him that he would like to do an interview for an article on CNET Asia.
Another satisfied customer!
Cut story short... three of us went downstair for "Teh Tarik" and continue our chat.
My QQestore experiences
I order my new toy Tuesday afternoon. Since this is my first purchase with QQestore, I got to register myself as a member first. The online registration is quite simple and take just 2 to 3 minutes. Once registered, you just choose the item you want to buy and confirm. See below :
8 May 2007
[3:40pm] Register myself with QQestore through their website. Received SMS with the password. Start shopping for my new toy.
[3:44pm] QQestore sent out a SMS saying that they received the order with the order number and you can check it online the order status.
[4:24pm] Received SMS saying that my order status has been updated to "WAITING STOCK ARRIVAL"
11 May 2007
[12:21am] Received SMS from QQestore saying that my order status has been updated to "READY FOR COLLECTION"
[1:35pm] Received SMS from QQestore saying that my order status has been updated to "COLLECTED".
I'm glad that it only took 3 days for my order to arrive. Here's a tip... if you like to order anything from QQestore, best day to order is on Mondays.

Notice anything new in my site? Look at the address bar and you see I put in a small photo of myself (
). It's a website logo or web icon and I'm going to share how I did it.
). It's a website logo or web icon and I'm going to share how I did it.First, you have to create the logo or icon for your site. The size is 16 x 16 pixels and should be save as a windows icon file (.ico). I use Adobe Photoshop with a plugin I got here.
Next, if you using your own web server then you can just upload the icon file to your server. As for me, I try uploading the picture to my picasa web but it wasn't possible. Luckily I can put my file at bruneiforever.com server thanks to Bruneian.
All you need to do now is to edit your html code. Here the code for mine.
<LINK HREF="http://bruneiforever.com/forum/reza/rezafaizalicon.ico" REL="SHORTCUT ICON" >
Insert the code in between <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags. I put mine right after the <HEAD> tag.
So try it out. Any problem converting your image to ".ico" or need storage to put your ".ico" file in Bruneian server just let me know or email me.This is for my personal bookmark. However, you all can use the tips below.

I got this tips from here.
Today is a bonus day for government civil servant in Brunei. If you thinking of buying a new handphone, here is a bit of information that I would like to share.
Sony Ericsson K800i
I bought this new Sony Ericsson K800i last night. Bought it just after I sold the Dopod. I survey QQ Station, Incomm, WYWY and DJ to get the best deal I could get. Here's the price summary :
QQ Station - BND 578.00 (no memory card included)
Incomm - BND 598.00 (64MB memory card included), 5% discount using SCB credit card (BND 568.00)
WYWY - I think it's BND 618.00 or 628.00. I never like the package deal from WYWY. Package includes desktop charger plus probably extra battery (mobility brand).
DJ - BND 598.00 cash, 3% interest using credit card.
By the way, QQeStore selling for BND 548.00 and I'm not sure whether the price include memory card. Finally decided to buy it from Incomm using SCB Credit Card. Immediately went to SCB to pay the credit card using the card machine. Save BND 30.00.
Notes :

Notes :
- Incomm normally sell at a higher price than the rest of the shops, but personally if the price is not much difference I would still prefer to buy from Incomm. I trust the source where they get the phones and secondly I prefer their warranty.
- 5% discount using SCB credit card at Incomm (I'm not sure the offer end date). Pay-off the credit card immediately to make sure you benefit the saving.
I’ve added this “page element” 3 days back. I’ve seen “recent comments” section at Bruneian and AnakBrunei blog but not quite sure whether it is useful.Bruneian told me it's good to put it in. So I decided to give it a try. This few days I realize the power of these “recent comments” sections. It really help me see quickly whether someone have post a comment on my new and old posts, allowing me to reply back to the comments quickly.
Here are the steps you can follow.
Step 1. Login to blogger and click "Template".
Step 2. Click "Page Elements" tab and click on "Add a Page Element"
Step 3. Choose "HTML/Javascripts"
Step 4. Type in the title e.g “Recent comments”, type in the code below to the content section then save.
Step 5. Click “Template” and click “Edit HTML”.Step 6. In the HTML code, search for "/head". Then use the code below after it. See example below :
Step 7. Click “SAVE TEMPLATE”.That is it, refresh your blog and you will see the “Recent comments” section in your side bar. Re-position it wherever you like.
Btw… “var numcomments = 10” mean display 10 most recent comments, you can change it to display how many you like. “var numchars =70” mean display the first 70 characters of the comments. You can also change this figure.
Thanks Bruneian for the tip!
I've been trying to figure out a simple way to put a graphic/image file for my blog header. I was having breakfast with AnakBrunei and Bruneian this morning and I got this tips from AnakBrunei on how to do it.
Step 1. Login to blogger and click "Template".
Step 2. Click "Page Elements" tab.
Step 3. Click "Edit" on your "(Header)" element.
Step 4. Type in your "Blog Title" and in the "Blog Description" form type in the image source for you graphic/image file. For eg :
/*
<img src="http://lh3.google.com/image/rezafaizal/RaBX_IR2DSI/AAAAAAAAAAg/
4QRBVPnWZtc/whattodo.jpg">
*/
- For my blog I've decided to save the file using Picasa Web Album. It took me less than a minute to register and sign-up. Uploading picture/graphic/image file is very easy. From there I find out the image source of the file I like to use for my blog header.
- Make sure the pictures you want to upload is of the same width as the Header width. You got to look at the html code at "Template" -> "Edit HTML" and find "#header {" section.
#header .description {
display: block;
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0 0;
line-height: 0;
font-size: 50%;
}
Step 6. Final touch-up. To hide the "Blog Title", just go to "Fonts and Title" and choose the color which match your "Page Background Color". You might need to change your "Page Header Background Color" to the same color.
Thank you AnakBrunei
Cbox tagboard for website or blog let your visitors leave messages or chat with each other.
Instead of following the steps given in cbox site (for blogger.com). Here's a better way of doing it.
Step 1. Login to blogger and click on "layout"
Step 2. Click on "Template"
Step 3. Click on "Add a Page Element"
Step 4. Choose " HTML/JavaScript". Type in the title and paste the html code from cbox in the content box. Then save the changes.
This steps gives you the flexibility to move the cbox element anyway in the template.
Thanks Bruneian for the tips.
