Sat 18-Jul-2010. Went to Queensbay for Dinner cum shopping. Had a difficult time parking at the basement. Had to patiently wait for one. We went to try Austin Chase. We ordered seafood spaghetti marinara and turkey ham sandwich. Took the set meal with coffee. Add RM3.00 to upgrade to latte or chocolate. The food was average only. Their drinks were good. They screen Astro on a screen from a LCD projector. You can also play games board games or turn some pages from a wide selection of novels.

After dinner, we dropped by the Milo Roadshow with a football theme. I guess they are helping those with post World Cup blues. They organized a quiz, giving away free samples of their latest product – Milo Fuze Ice Cool (just add cold water). I was one of the winners. The million dollar question was “Which country won the World Cup in 1970?”.

We celebrated Fathers’ Day with Ying’s family at Akamomiji Japanese Restaurant at Medan Ipoh Bistari. We ordered a variety of dishes including soba noodles, bento sets, temaki, maki, grilled shishamo and sanma. The sanma holds special significance to the autumn theme of the restaurant. The private room that we booked was also decorated with autumn scenes. The food was good and there were a few out of the ordinary creations. We topped it off with some warm sake. Nice!

Yingniqniche was self-hosted for almost 2 years using a free hosting plan. I had several problems – occasional server downs, and Akismet spam filtering problem. Akismet requires TCP connection but the free hosting plan disables socket connection due to security reasons. Since my domain needs to be renewed, I decided to try a paid hosting service with more features. I came across one offering USD1.00 per month, 200GB storage space, unlimited bandwidth, 1 website. Here are the steps how to transfer your domain to a new server.

1. Backup your wp-content folder.
2. Backup your sql database.
3. Buy new hosting plan with transfer domain.
4. Request EPP Transfer Authorization Code from your current host.
5. Request for domain transfer from new host (make sure your domain does not expire in the next 30 days). This will take a couple of days. You will see your site go blank.
6. Login to cpanel file manager.
7. Update wp-content from your backup.
8. Import sql database using phpmyadmin.
9. Test your website.

The Nissan Grand Livina is one of the most popular MPVs on Malaysian roads. I’ve had mine for about 2 years. Trying to stand out from the crowd, I gave the headlights some grey tint to the upper half.
