YouTube Downloader

Kah Ling is so "skema" this afternoon that she actually said this :

kahling : nak mintak your expertise boleh? what website u use to dl youtube videos?

keefoo : babi skemanya ayat..hahahaha jap..i give u link

kahling : k hahahahah

keefoo: http://www.savevideodownload.com/download.php
tis is almost the easiest one la..

kahling : okie thanks

Before softwares to assist users in downloading YouTube videos sprung up, I relied on web-based downloader which are not always reliable. Some of the downloaded files are also not recognized by my computer. I got even more disappointed when I have lost the link of the video because the videos are usually MTV of my favorite songs.

Now, I am using YouTube Downloader to directly download the video files into my computer. Simple and practical. These 3 words fully describe this software. Beside downloading, it can also convert the video file into other formats such as mp3, wmv and mov for Ipod Video.

Here are some screenshots of the software.

You only need to hit Ctrl + C on the YouTube link in your browser and the URL will be automatically entered. Hit the Ok button and zoom you go. (You might need to wait for a moment)

A window similar to download window in IE will pop-out. It will prompt you to choose the destination directory. Press Okay and the download will start. The downloaded video will be in *.flv format, which can be played if you have VLC Player or appropriate video codecs installed in your machine.

And if you wish to convert the flv video into other formats, choose "Convert video (previously downloaded) from file".


Simple enough?

Get it here.

ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10

I was updating to the latest version of Yahoo Messenger when I stumbled upon a prompt window to update to Adobe Flash Player 10. Another click on it bring me to Adobe homepage.

I was like, "wow" when the swf movie loads. This is the screenshot of the flash movie at their website. Code-named "Astro", it has many new expressive features and visual performance improvements compared to the previous version.

On my laptop running Vista Bussiness SP1, trouble it seems that the newly installed Yahoo Messenger did not detect Flash Player 10. Perhaps I need a restart before the new settings take effect.

A boring me looking at the indicator of Vaio Update 4. Internet speed has improved a little since the December last year. This time it's not one, but three broken cables nearby Alexandria. Hopefully, the authorities repair them fast enough.

I've just learned a new phrase from Puduraya last Saturday. 

"Bukit kasi Cina, tanjung kasi Keling, Melayu dapat ape? kampung je!"

As racist as it sounds, I find it funny because the Malay bus ticket tout is shouting his friend in a bus departing to Melaka. Google and you will find Bukit Cina, Tanjung Keling and Kampung Melayu in Melaka state.

edited : Adobe Flash Player 10 works just fine after restart.

Use Durex Save Dumex

Ohh that's surprising! How is that possible? Some participants in a popular local forum even allege that prostitutes boosted the statistics. Even funnier, a male participant calls the manufacturer of the condom a liar because he is a loser and he haven't been in a relationship, yet.

Be realistic. We don't live in Shangri-La. Face the truth. Shangri-La only exists in a popular novel, Lost Horizon, written by James Hilton in 1933. Our world is not earthly paradise. It is too utopian to think in a way that we can put Shangri-La and our world, juxtapositorily.

PRE-MARITAL SEX : WHERE IS THE BOUNDARY LINE

As being described by Paul Stenzel, any type of genital contact is considered sex. The boundary line is just clear. Yes. Oral sex is sex. Physical intercourse is sex. A man penetrating his female neighbor is sex. A secondary school kid thrusting his girlfriend inside some bushes is sex. "Medically speaking, they're very clear, because any type of genital contact can transmit disease."

In my opinion, there's no line to draw. It is not like playing "Territory" when we are still kids. Strictly speaking, having sex is just a matter of choice, whether you want to do it or not. Of course, many factors come into consideration before you do it. Unwanted pregnancies, mental distress, STD but I tell you, breaking the law is the last thing in mind of many teenager couples.

PREMARITAL SEX : AN EMOTIONAL TORTURE

Say you are in one of these situations:

• You are playing it safe. You use a condom. Oh not because your partner insisted you to, but on your free will. However, you don't know that certain type of lubricant somehow weakens the bond between basic isoprene units that make up condoms. You played it hard and the condom bursted. You did not realize it until you got up from your bed for a hot bath. (Haha you are unlucky!)
• You don't use condom because it deprives you of the sensation. You are pretty confident you can withdraw at the right moment. But you are too into your position that you blow up in her. (Pray hard you won't multiply!)
• Both of you are lost somewhere in the steamy world of sex. The girl's dad shouted and knocked down the door. He punched and kicked your ass. (Haha you are lucky coz he did not bring along a parang!)

Imagine the extent of emotional distress and guilt you will feel right away. You won't know for sure whether your girlfriend is pregnant or not. You wait anxiously for your girlfriend's menses. You keep thinking what will happens if she really got pregnant. Family looked down upon, unwanted child, guilty feelings haunting you, Pak Haji come running for you, long life emotional effects and what not.

PREMARITAL SEX : WHAT RELIGIONS SAY

"And go not nigh to fornication; surely it is an indecency and an evil way." (Qur'an 17:32)

"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." (Hebrews 13:4)

Is sex recreation, or re-creation?
