Pizza Sandwich by Lazy Bums

Have you ever felt like having a slice of pizza at instant but just too lazy to get out of your house heading to any pizza parlor available in your town? Or perhaps your house is just not on the list of regions covered for any pizza delivery? i.e lembah beringin?

Fret not!

Lol when I reread the paragraph above, it sounded like I’m advertising a product. Totally joking people!

The title says it all. Me and my sis were craving for a pizza pan but yeah, we were just too lazy to spend our penny for a pizza (and gas). Hence we came out with our very own version of pizza sandwich by lazy bums.

All we needed were already available ingredients.

• Slices of loaf bread (instead of the round-shaped bread they use) 
• Tomato sauce

• Tomato slices (or a chopped one) 

• Chili sauce 

• Onions (any kind of onions and we used Holland Onions) 

• Cheese slices (you could use any kind of cheese that you want, or even a grated one as well)

• Sausages (for toppings) 

Step:

1. Spread the tomato sauce over the
slices of loaf bread

2. Slices of sausages go on top

3. The not-really-chopped onions go in.

4. Slices tomato.

5. Last but not least, the very sexy cheese slice goes in.

6. Then you bake it for a couple of minutes for each half
till it turns a golden brownish like this one.
Then, you're good to munch your pizza sandwich.

Khusyu' in Salah

Solat or Salah is one of the five pillars of Islam and an obligatory religious duty for every Muslim on top of that. Each Muslim knows that. What I'm going to write about today is one of many ways in getting khusyu' while performing your salah.

I remember when I was in high school, my ustaz used to remind us all about of one of the ways getting your khusyu' in Salah is by understanding bit by bit of recitation in Salah. Since I'm a Malaysian Muslim, I will share these graphics on the meaning of each recitation in translated in Malay language. I've actually come across these graphics while checking on my Facebook the other day.

Kudos to whomever made these.

How To Install .apk File or .ipa File On Your Electronic Device.

Before we start this piece of cake tutorial today, let me write down the explanation on what is the .apk file extension and .ipa file extension.

• Brief introduction on the extensions.
• .apk file extension

Android application package (APK) is the package file format used by the Android operating system for distribution and installation of mobile apps and middleware. 

APK files can be installed on Android powered devices just like installing software on PC. When a user downloads and installs an Android application from either an official source (such as Google Play), or from some other (unofficial) site, they are installing an APK file on their device. 

A user or developer can also install an APK file directly to a device (that is, not via download from the network) from a desktop computer, using a communication program such as adb, or from within a file manager app in a process known as "sideloading". 

By default, the ability to install from unofficial sites or directly from a desktop or file manager is disabled for security reasons on most Android devices. Users can enable it by changing the setting "Unknown sources" in the Settings menu.

• .ipa file extension

An .ipa file (iPhone Application archive) is an iOS application archive file which stores an iOS app. Each .ipa file includes a binary for the ARM architecture and can only be installed on an iOS-device. Files with the .ipa extension can be uncompressed by changing the extension to .zip and unzipping.

Source : Wikipedia

Come on, it's okay to not know the description of both extensions. The important thing to note is an .apk file is used by the Android OS meanwhile an .ipa file is for iOS. When we download an app from either Google Play or App Store, we are actually downloading these extensions. When the app is installed, the file is actually being compressed so that you can use the app, say, the Instagram, like right now ( a readable app for us the end the users).

• How to install an .apk file
•   Firstly, download the .apk file to your android device. Remember the location where the downloaded .apk file is stored on your device.
•  Go to your device setting > security > allow installation from sources other than the Play Store tab > tick the checkbox.

• 

  Disclaimer: this photo isn't mine. I'm just too lazy to screenshot
  the whole process and I found this on Google.
• Go to the location where the downloaded .apk file is stored. Click on the file. Start the installation process.
• When the process is done, you’re good to use the app as the .apk file is completely installed as an app.
• 
  
• How to install an .ipa file

I'm gonna explain the easiest method that I always use so far.

•  Firstly, download the .ipa file and remember the location where the downloaded .ipa file is stored. I would recommend you to download it directly from your PC and store it at any location you could easily access, i.e. save the .ipa file in the Download folder or Desktop.
• Connect your iOS device to the PC. Or you can do this step first followed by the step above.
• Open up the iFunBox. Follow the instructions as pictures shown below.

Go to the Managing App Data tab.

Then you'll see the Install App (*.ipa) - as circled above.
Click on it.

Once you click, a window will appear. Look for the downloaded
.ipa file on your PC and click Save to begin the installation.

Once the installation finished, you're good to use the app on your iOS device.

I would recommend you people to use the iFunBox because it is easy to use and a very user-friendly app.

I hope this article is helpful for any of you out there.

Change Default Guest Account Picture on Windows.

Hello my fellow tech-savvies. Today I'm gonna write about how to change the default gray guest account picture on Windows 8 (practically the method is the same for other version of Windows).

Have you ever felt bored of seeing this gray dude?

 This entry was actually written a few months back but I kept it as a draft. Now I got some time post it online.

This is an old trick but I never disclose it on my blog. Perhaps you people have known this trick.

Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures

• As you can see, the selected guest image is in bitmap format (.bmp). The picture is correlated to the guest picture shown on startup.

Now is the trick.

• Delete or move out the selected guest.bmp picture off the folder and replace it with a new picture which is saved as guest.bmp

How to save your picture as such?

• You can always go to Paint or any other Photo Editor software and save as .bmp. There is always the option there.
• Please make sure to set the dimension of the replaced photo exactly the same as the old guest photo; which is 448x448px.

And below is how it looks like on my PC.

Voila, you’re good to go.

How To: Install WhatsApp Messenger on a Tablet

Howdy! As so you know, Whatsapp Messenger Application is no longer supported and available on tablet devices. Despite the non-existence, do you know that you still can install and use the application right from your tablet?

THIS TRICK DOESN'T NEED YOU TO ROOT YOUR ANDROID DEVICE

Below are the information on device that I'm going to use to do this trick.
Device Name: Samsung Tablet SM-T211
Android Version: 4.4.2

As per mentioned previously, the Whatsapp Messenger is no longer supported and available on tablet devices thus, searching for the app on Google Play Store is not going to help you at all because you'll never find one. Hence, steps below:

1. Open up your browser on your tablet or your PC. If you use your browser on your tablet device, make sure to request for desktop site by ticking the small box there. 
2. Go to Whatsapp Messenger Download Page. You can just click on the link provided, I've made it to automatically open in a new tab.
   
   
   
   Click on the Download for android from our site link or just click this link, it'll bring you directly to the Whatsapp for Android page. 
3. Click on the Download Now link. You now are downloading a WhatsApp.apk file (non-auto-install version of WhatsApp Messenger application). 

Bypass A Proxy Server by ZenMate

Previously on this blog, I talked about how you can view any blocked sites by using Tor Browser. Tor Browser enables us to do so because it has this feature to bypass the proxy server, faking your IP Address. But, it has some drawbacks such that you're now online like an anonymous and the possibility for a particular site, i.e Facebook to  detect this vigorous activity of always changing the IP Address might cause you to appear as being hacked by someone from weird locations is high.

Thus, I crossed out the Tor Browser thingy from my web server list.

The most annoying message ever, is it not?

It happens that people are known for the existence of other sites, i.e Hola, TunnelBear, Hide My Ass Web Proxy, Proxmate, that service to bypass the proxy server by faking your IP Address and so forth. You can even use Google Translate as your web server. For this entry, I'll be focusing on ZenMate, the one that I am currently using.

I believe you guys must have heard about Hola VPN being discovered to be used to perform DDoS attacks and violate user privacy, thus my list of web servers is crossed out again. Since I don't really use Hola that often, I wasn't being a all sucked-up folk for this to happen. Me before this tried Media Hint, TunnelBear and those listed above is now sticking up with ZenMate, (so far).

Here's the reasons of me staying faithful with ZenMate.

1. This web server is very easy to use. You can just google it up or if you're using Chrome browser, you can simply download the extension from the browser itself.
2. The extension is available for Chrome, Firefox, Opera browser.
3. It also available on iOS, Android OS, Windows OS. With the same account registered beforehand, you can use the web server on your PCs and your smartphones simultaneously, which I believe most of the web servers have this feature though.
4. Unlimited data usage and it's free. Well, if you want some additional features, i.e malware protection, more locations, tracking protection, speedy browsing obviously you need to upgrade to premium account.
5. ZenMate is a very user-friendly web server and a safe solution if you want to hide your IP address

As so you know, these web servers are privileges for you to view the content of sites restricted to several regions. I would like to recommend ZenMate to my friends and users all over the world, no matter how tech-savvy they are. If you're looking for a safe solution in hiding your IP Address but keeping your privacy protected, ZenMate is the answer.

Where To Download Movie

Selama aku hidup di KY dekat 2 tahun ni, aku sering diserang dengan soalan merangkap pernyataan cenggini;

"Akmal! nak pegi bilik kau malam ni!nak copy Running Man!!!"

"Eh nak copy Hindustan weh! ada yang baru-baru tak?!!"

" Akmal, nanti tolong download-kan K-Drama tajuk blablablabla..."

obviously kami tak sebut terma K-Drama tuh

takpun;

"Kalau kau dah download  movie Siakap Senohong Gelama Ikan Duri tu habaq aku dowh.nanti kita buat tayangan weekend nih ye!"

sila baca setiap dialog dengan intonasi yang betul. bila part ada tanda seru (!) sila baca dengan jeritan yang kuat sehinggakan roommate hangpa boleh dengar dan dijerit dengan tegas.

well, basically begitulah perangai kawan-kawan aku. yang layan Running Man akan mintak stock RM dari aku saban minggu dan macam-macam lagilah. sampai kadang-kadang aku rasa macam aku telah menginovasi suatu kerjaya baharu di abad ini yakni Downloading Engineer. okeh merapu!

seperti yang sedia maklum mahupun yang belum maklum, WiFi KY ni amatlah nazak taraf kesihatannya.macam biskut pun ada gak. kalau tak percaya, tanya saya.

so bila bebudak ni tanya;

"Akmal!Kau download movie 'Kau Mulut Bau Longkang' tu kat mana dowh?? mesti best gila quota Pelan Internet kau besar macam lori.sedap jerr download movie."

lalu aku membalas pertanyaan berbaur pernyataan mereka:

"memang taklah kalau nak download movie pakai data sendiri. KY kan ada WiFi.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH"

keterbahakan gelak aku jelas didengari umpama gelak yang nak makan penampar aje.

dorang bila dah tahu rahsia aku, maka teruslah:

"OOOOO.KAU LA PUNCA INTERNET SLOW MACAM ARNAB YE!!!!TAPI AKU NAK COPY JUGAK RUNNING MAN DARI KAU!!"

*70% dari dialog adalah rekaan dan telah diubah oleh penulis tanpa mengubah maksud asal perbualan

aku memang pengguna WiFi KY yang tersabar di abad ini despite kelajuannya mengalahi kelajuan cahaya yang jika dibandingkan dengan kura-kura yang berlari, nescaya arnab akan menang perlumbaan tersebut.

okay, gila panjang mukadimah dia. tapi pengenalan tu memainkan peranan penting terutama kepada mereka yang nak tahu keadaan KY macam mana sebenarnya.

maka aku akan terus straight to the point .Aku boleh dikategorikan sebagai pengunjung websites berikut yang tetap dan setia. tapi sebab aku baik hati hari ini, aku rasa macam nak share dekat engkorang kat mana nak download movie dengan kualiti SD at least.

How To Use WhatsApp Web

On January 25,2015, WhatsApp, via their blog, had announced a new feature of the messenger application in which their clients are now able to remotely use WhatsApp Messenger from the desktop of their PCs.

Before the WhatsApp Web launched, we all have came to know the fact that there's always BlueStacks App Player which can be installed on PC and the app allows user to install the WhatsApp Messenger and use it from the desktop. The drawback is that only a device is permitted to content a particular WhatsApp Messenger account (one device one account principle).

To use WhatsApp Messenger on desktop, all you need to have is the WhatsApp Messenger itself, already installed on your phone and please be sure to have your WhatsApp up-to-date because the next step only can be done with an up-to-date WhatsApp (as it has WhatsApp Web preference)

Read instruction below to get to WhatsApp Web button. Steps may vary accordingly:

Choosing A Power Bank

It's no longer a surprise when we are introduced with brand new technologies, innovations and gadgets in each single day we pass through. So that was happened when we were getting to know about an unique and small piece of gadget known as Power Bank, comes in various shapes and sizes with one main purpose; to ease each of the users who encounter a crucial situation, such that almost-dying-battery and I-don't-have-any-backup-to-keep-my-gadget-alive.

A power bank is definitely an answer or a life savior when your are in such dying-dreadful situation. There are several factors in which we shouldn't neglect when choosing a power bank.

Knowing what is power bank

Power bank is a gadget usually in small size and shape, acts as a substitute battery charger and power adapter. Implemented by a capacitor-like concept, a power bank works when there are charges stored within. Portable power banks can be a great option for a quick and convenient way to keep electronic devices charged when it’s needed

Shape and size

A bear-shaped power bank

There are various shapes and sizes available. For a satisfaction, one should be really careful and can be really picky in choosing those. There are even power banks that come out with mp3-like shape, an external hard drive shape, a cat-like an even a mango shape. Choose what favors you the most.
Let's move on to their sizes. It is just like when you are choosing a t-shirt, shirt or even a blouse. There are small-size power bank, a large one and even a largy-small (medium size). Once again, it's yours to choose. The size and shape does not really affect your gadgets' charging rate really. It is totally a different thing that need to be taken care of.

Capacity

"the bigger the better"

As the saying goes, the bigger the capacity of a power bank, the better it will be, given the fact on how it will affect the entire charging process.
Most of power banks are available in capacity of 2800 mAh, 4000 mAh, 5600 mAh, 6000 mAh and even 1200 mAh. There are also power banks that come along with 20 000 mAh which is totally big. 

Q: what is mAh?A: milliAmpere/hours . It's a measurement 

The capacity provided also hinted us on how many times one can charge his or her gadget, given that the power required to fill up the battery content of the gadgets.

The power requirement of each gadget (especially a smartphone) can be found at the box that come along when you buy the gadget; the box that keeps your gadget within it. You also can find the requirement by visiting the products' official website like SAMSUNG, Apple Inc. , HTC.

Tricks To Speed Up The Charging In Smartphones

One common thing about smartphones is that they all are easily to be discharged no matter how frequent you use your smartphone. Sometimes it feels like smartphones are no longer that smart since it takes forever for it to fully recharge but takes no time for the battery to be emptied.

This entry will cover a few tricks that should be done in order to consume less time in charging the smartphones.

Switch Off Your Smartphone

This often can be heard from any other people. In addition, if you were charging your smartphone without shutting it down it only will cause more harm to the smartphone especially its battery. There even a case in which the battery melted after the user refused to switch it off while charging and kept using his smartphone making calls and texts.


Switch On The Airplane/Flight Mode

by enabling Flight Mode, you are actually disabling every single application from being connected to any network. All connections such as bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot and including mobile data will all be disabled when you turn Flight Mode on. In this way, time taken for your smartphone to be fully charged will decrease

Use The Right Power Adapter and Cable

Trick To Unblock My Blocked Instagram Account [Updated]

Are you an avid instagrammer? Had been blocked by Instagram from accessing your own account? been blocked from commenting or liking pictures?
supposed that we have a trick that may work, (depends on warning they gave)

Why action blocked?
basically, it comes when you do all the liking for too many pictures in a short period of time. sometimes it sounds doesn't make sense at all but yeah, instagram just doing their job for security 

How long does it takes to getting unblock?
I'd say,according to the instagram itself, it will cost around 24 hours to get back to comment or like pictures once you have been blocked. that is what they say but for some people, it takes longer than that.  And even some people are prone from not getting unblock by the instagram. this may due to their comments beforehand were kinda spam ,according to their commenting protocol or whatsoever version are they've been called of.

Getting blocked for the first time?
based on my experiment aka experience before, they prone to block my account within 24 hours and NOT more than that period of time. so, be calm. still, within that 24 hours, I can like and comment some pictures by using Instagram for desktop. you know that instagram also has this feature to view your timeline on desktop, but no uploading pictures in their feature.
my advice to those who got blocked for the first time, just wait for another 24 hours. rest and take a nap perhaps.

Getting blocked for several times already?
not really for the second timer and above as this feature too, for the first timer. try to comment or like on any pictures. usually this will appear right after your trial.

just follow the instruction given as this will bring you to be unblocked from accessing your own account later.

this is how it will look alike. and I was using Instagram for desktop at that time because my phone won't work to show this kind of feature. yeah, quite an internet connection problem at that time.
as you know, if your Instagram on phone doesn't work, you can try on the desktop version. just enter the code/number, then you can enjoy your instagram again.

Is there any type of instagram block?
I'd say yes to this question because we, instagrammer too can block certain users from accessing our account or for whatever reasons it is. sometimes you only can like picture but not to comment on that particular picture and vice versa.

this trick work for me though. it may work for you too and may not work for you. if anything, just refer to Instagram technical support team back.thanks for reading and feel free to drop some comments!

POINT TO NOTE : THIS POST WAS POSTED NEARLY A YEAR AGO SO THE TRICK MAY NO LONGER WORK.

UPDATED ON : MAY 27TH, 2015

Click on this link for a full article on Instagram error troubleshooting

if any of these aren't working, I'd suggest you guys to use a VPN, like what've been commented by one of the commentators below.

UPDATED ON : APRIL 13th, 2016.
One point to note: Instagram only allows you to insert/put up to 20-25 hashtags in your caption or/and comment. Otherwise, an error message will pop up.
