YouTube Upload Slow - Mystery SOLVED!


Finally!!! I found out WHY my videos upload duration took so long and How to Solve it!!!

If you are a follower of my blogs, especially my parenting blog : All About Your Child, its easy to know that I love to flim the kiddos in action and upload them on YouTube.

Have been doing that for years now.
But for the past months, uploading the videos taken from my camera phone seemed to take ages!

The worst experience I had was uploading a 3 mins long file for 7hours!!!!
And at the end of the 7 hours, guess what did it say?!
"Upload Error."

*Super Faint!*

It was so unnerving that I decided to stop uploading videos for months!

Until today.....


Yes,
TODAY!!!
I FINALLY FOUND THE SOLUTION!

As usual.... my video was uploading at Snail Speed...
I decided to scroll down and look for 'help' anywhere...
but before I could reach the bottom, I read this SUPER LINE:
"Upload problems? Try the basic uploader (works on older computers and web browsers)."


And so I clicked on 'basic uploader'.
Ta-Daa!
And the uploading speed was back to good-old-days!
*wink*

Even though its a tight slap on my face to remind me that my computer is in the 'older computers' category, its definitely time for an upgrade, but hey, at least I can still upload my videos on YouTube.
*tongue in cheek*

Did you face this problem too?
Hope this helps....

Baha Men - Who Let The Dogs Out



Who let the dogs out
(woof, woof, woof, woof)
(woof, woof, woof, woof)
(woof, woof, woof, woof)
(woof, woof, woof, woof)

Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)

(woof, woof, woof, woof)

When the party was nice, the party was jumpin' (Hey, Yippie, Yi, Yo)
And everybody havin' a ball (Hah, ho, Yippie Yi Yo)
I tell the fellas "start the name callin'" (Yippie Yi Yo)
And the girls report to the call
The poor dog show down

Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)

I see ya' little speed boat head up our coast
She really want to skip town
Get back off me, beast off me
Get back you flea infested monger

Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)

I'm gonna tell {Hey, Yippie, Yi, Yo}
To any girls calling them canine {Yippie, Yi, Yo}
Tell the dummy "Hey Man, It's part of the Party!" {Yippie Yi, Yo}
You fetch a women in front and her mans behind {Yippie, Yi, Yo}
Her bone runs out now

Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)

Say, A doggy is nuttin' if he don't have a bone All dogy hold ya' bone, all doggy hold it
A doggy is nuttin' if he don't have a bone All dogy hold ya' bone, all doggy hold it

Wait for y'all my dogs, the party is on
I gotta get my girl I got my myind on
Do you see the rays comin' from my eye
What could you be friend
That Benji man that's breakin' them down?
Me and My white short shorts
And I can't seek a lot, any canine will do
I'm figurin' that's why they call me faithful
'Cause I'm the man of the land
When they see me they doah-ooooo(howl)

Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)

BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE ENOUGH

"BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE ENOUGH"
 ~ T. Harv Eker 

If you believe that you're "not enough," you'll validate that belief and create the reality that you don't have enough.
But if you believe that you're more than enough, you'll create more than enough in every part of your life.

What/Who Am I Going To Lose This Time?

I had a very terrible nightmare.
Nothing monster and no aliens.
It was a change of status and a tooth lost.
I was forced to sign the divorce agreement and marry someone who has been carrying a torch for me for 20 years. *scream*

This is not the first time I dreamed that I lost a tooth.

I have a book that interprets dreams.
It says that losing a tooth in dreams means you are going to lose something/someone very precious to you.
The first time, I lost my granny.
The second time, I lost my dad.
The third time, I lost my pager.
The fourth time, my boyfriend left me.
And this is the fifth time.......

and I'm still not recovering as I should....
what's wrong with my health?
recovery journey has become a snail race....
....................

I am trying not to conclude anything here....
I am trying to focus on other things and not on this...

let it pass...
let it pass quick.....

Po Chai Pills - 保濟丸 is banned?


Po Chai Pills - 保濟丸 is banned in Singapore? Did you know that? I received an email today talking about Po Chai Pills side effects and Po Chai Pills reviews.

Then it made me think about my weekend suffering. I had flu on Saturday morning and my tummy was not performing as it should. So I popped in a bottle of Po Chai Pills - 保濟丸 hoping to get rid of the uncomfort in the mid area.

It did not.

Instead, my liver area started to hurt like before (when I was admitted to hospital for 13 days last year). I got scared. 'Cos we were supposed to celebrate my MIL's birthday on Sunday. I hanged on till midnight, I told Allan I needed to visit the clinic. So we went down to the nearby 24hour clinic and paid the super high after-midnight charge of $80+ just for consultation.

Doctor told me it was food poisoning, but could not pinpoint to what it was as I did not eat anything unusual the day before. So could it really have been Po Chai Pills - 保濟丸? I really do not know. And as I recall further to my scary episode last year, I remembered taking Po Chai Pills - 保濟丸 as well.

Could it be pure coincidence? I do not know. But one thing for sure, I am going to steer away from that little bottle for a long time, just threw away the remainders this morning after reading this email from my 2nd SIL: -


"Bummer! Work good when you have the runs.

Pls pass this info to Chinese comunities overseas esp in N. America,Europe, Australia , SE Asia (eg Indonesia ) where Po Chai pills are household over-the-counter all purpose "medicine", used to be in family medicine cabinets. Well meaning moms, grandmothers give these to kids studying abroad.

Hong Kong Pulls Po Chai Pills because of Health Risks, Morning Post Says
2010-03-25 01:49:27.289 GMT By Frederik Balfour

March 25 (Bloomberg) - Hong Kong 's Department of Health has instructed traditional Chinese medicine maker Li Chung Shing Tong (Holdings) to recall Po Chai pills after they were found to contain banned substances in Singapore , the South China Morning Post said.

The pills, popular among sufferers from digestion problems, were found to contain phenolphthalein and sibutramine, substances that can lead to serious side effects, according to a department spokesman, the newspaper said.

"Po Chai" (see images below) have been banned in Singapore. They are also being recalled in Hong Kong .

Apart from the two dangerous chemicals (phenolphthalein and sibutramine) found by the Singapore Govt., mercury is another component used in the manufacture of the pills !

Mercury can cause serious brain damage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minamata_disease

The following is prevalent in Malaysia and Spore.

At shop malls, do not drink the drink sold from the Chinese golden drums, those little shop with rich-looking urns selling those "anti-heaty" tea and tea & herbal-steamed eggs.

As well, by roadsides everywhere, where the guy asks if you would like to kar liew (add powder)

THAT POTENT ANTI-HEATINESS WORKS, BECAUSE IT'S LACED WITH STEROID POWDER.
Pass this message to friends and family.
Consume it often, and your bone marrow will go porous and weak.
My friend's wife, in Pudu, is now with one leg shorter after hip-joint reolacement. She is 40-over years, and drank jln.Pasar's "kar liew" for years."
