[Review] - Solo Vintage - Leather Backpack (10 Dec. 2010)

  • Finally, the SOLO Vintage Backpack which I ordered have arrived today!
  • It took UPS about 7 days to reach my home (Shipped on Dec. 3 and arrived on Dec 10). 
  • In the UPS website, it stated the goods will be delivered on Dec. 13 but UPS delivery man called me at 4.40pm and told me that he is in front of my house!
  • Since tomorrow is a holiday (the King's Birthday), I decided to take a trip to UPS Office at Jalan Tandang (Wisma Ali Bawal 1).
  • Reached there at 6.50 pm and voila!
  • The backpack is perfect! The leather quality is magnificent!





























UPDATE (Dec. 25, 2012)
  • I have been using this backpack for about two (2) years now!
  • Even though the colour has changed to brown instead of the dark brown as shown below, it still looked fantastic! Even tho' I have some scratches, but it didn't bother me because that's what a leather backpack should bear.
  • I must confessed that the quality of this bah is excellent and I believed it will last me for more years to come!

[How-To]: Setup HP Deskjet 2050 using Airport Express and Windows XP

I decided to buy Airport Extreme base station. I was looking forward to being able to share my HP Deskjet 2050 off the USB port but didn't know if my old XP PC would be able to use it. After much searching, I found these instructions and all is well:
  1. Make sure the printer is recognised by the base station.
  2. Select 'Add a new printer' in Windows
  3. Select 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install should be off), click next.
  4. Choose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next.
  5. For the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station ie. 192.169.0.112. The port name will be filled automatically. Click next.
  6. For the device type, choose 'Hewlet Packard Jet Direct', then click Finish.
  7. Choose your printer from the list and follow the rest of the prompts to install and configure the driver.

Foursquare Better than Garmin GPS

  • There are times when my Garmin GPS unable to find the right address.
  • Or there are times when you didn't bring your GPS along and you are "lost".
  • This is when Foursquare come to the rescue.
  • For example, I wanted to find CWA (CIMB Wealth Advisor)'s location but somehow it was not registered in the Garmin although it can take me to Damansara Utama.
  • When I was at Damanasara Utama, I was quite lost to find the road.
  • Using Foursquare, I located CWA's location (Search in "Places")


  • Click "More Info" to see its location on a Map.




  • Click the RED dot to open the iPhone's Map app.












  • By clicking the "Directions", it will give the route from your existing location to the destination.











  • Follow the route. Voila!
