This blog has been suspended again by the webhosting.. and this time I give up!! Those suckers@Malaysi******* keep blaming us and they said that we received too much visitors that cause their server always down. What wrong with having many visitors??

Then… they asked us to upgrade our service to semi dedicated server that might cost us RM250/month. Hahahaha..Crazy!! On the day they said we are having too many visitor….is the day we actually had the lowest visitor count in the past 1 month!! Sound fishy huh??

We refused too upgrade and they also refuse too unsuspended our blog!! So… we decided to change hosting. We have got enough of Malaysia******!

Change webhosting wasn’t as easy as I thought. We have already been using the same hosting for almost 3 years and the database are so huge!! After doing full backup via Cpanel, the size of database already about 2.5GB. How can I upload such a huge files to a new server?? How long would it takes?? Our internet was quite slow and I don’t think that I could complete the file transfer in 1-2 days. It might cause us almost a week to complete it!!

You want to know how?? I am going to share the experience with you.

I would like to separate this diyanazman blog & manutd blog into 2 different domains. So, I decided to sign up with 2 different webhostings. The best that I can fine is HostGator because they offered FREE transfer service.

Below were the steps that I take..

1. Sign up with new webhosting then asked for their DNS nameservers.
2. Contact previous webhoster/registrar that hosted diyanazman.com domain and asked them to change the DNS nameservers to a new nameservers. Then, asked them to unlock the domain and request an Authorization Code from them as the confirmation of releasing the domain to a new registrar.
3. After changing DNS nameservers, it took less than 24 hours for the domain name to ‘propogate’ or be usable throughout the internet. However..sometimes it might took up to 48 hours.
4. Request full backup link from old hosting.
5. E-mail to new hosting support, attached the backup link and request them to do all the backup restoration. Hosting likes HostGator will do everything for free. However, make sure you used the same username and password during registration with new hosting for easier restoration.
6. Wait for them to complete the backup restoration process that took less than 24 hours. EASY!!

Transfering manutd.diyanazman.com to new domain themanutdfan.com;

7. Register with another webhosting for Manchester United Fan In Malaysia blog and also new domain – themanutdfan.com. Make a fresh installation of WordPress.
8. Create SQL database backup from diyanazman.com domain. Go to Cpanel > Backup > Download SQL database
9. Transfer all “wp-content” in manutd folder of previous hosting into new hosting using FTP.

This is how to restore SQL database;

10. Login into your WordPress blog and select the same themes that you last use for the blog.
11. Go to Cpanel > phpMyAdmin. Click at the SQL database for your WordPress blog.
12. Check all & Drop all the tables.
13. Go to “Import” tab. Upload the backup SQL database.
14. That’s all! Yeahhhh…

If you have problem with downloading or uploading your SQL database, the easy way is to login into your old WordPress admin.
Go to Tools > Export > Download Export File
Then.. login into new WordPress admin in new domain.
Go to Tools > Import > WordPress > Browse and Upload the file from above step.
Easier but its only import the posting!! Settings and everything must be done manually one by one.

After 2 days…everything is DONE and both of our blogs were UP again…

I have never found myself attracted to something so black. Yet now I am totally enjoying the pleasure of being engulfed with the darkness and the feeling of mystery that is lurking beneath the handsome dimness.

Do I sound like I have a crush on a negro vampire?

I am talking about my favorite kitchen la!

Azman and I are in the midst of getting ourselves in debt for 30 years OUR OWN HOUSE! Yea! And just like any other makcik hot blooded woman, young and sexy.. I dream of the kitchen.

Black kitchens and red kitchens. Oh if I have these, I will never cook in them, I vow to be just like Nigella Lawson (minus the boobies), an ultimate domestic goddess! I promise!!

the black yet cosy…

the elegant one

the totally posh one

the cool one

The one with tiles are green not black but just gorgeous… And lovely view outside the window…

I am totally in love with the house we are getting. The kitchen is huge. But the kitchen cabinets have already been installed. Although they are nice and cost a fortune, tapi mak tak taste la nyahhh!!! Color brown kekdahnya! Takpalah, mak pasrah!

Although the tickets for the three of us were bought several months ago, the past few weeks have been spent considering whether or not to bring Miki along to Bangkok. The contemplation was based on several reason; one – Influenza A H1N1 or swine flu exposure; two- is Bangkok a suitable place for a toddler to have fun?; and three – can the parents of a toddler travelling to Bangkok with their toddler find Bangkok a suitable place to have fun when they are with a toddler in Bangkok? Oh susahnya…

It was indeed a difficult decision. Azman and I have given it deep thoughts and initially we decided to what-the-heck, let’s just drag the boy along. Even if he doesn’t come with us, we would be spending every minute talking and reminiscing about him anyway. That happened to us all the time. We always find ourselves talking about Miki, and laughing at his funny antics when we go out on dates, just the two of us.

What is the big deal one might say but we are not talking about just another toddler. Ours is a hyper, super excited kid that demands the whole world of attention gravitating around him by a simple manipulation of his vocal cord. That is a very distinctive skill acquired by young children yet it could make it impossible for the parents like us to go see a tiger show. No I mean to enjoy a trip to a bustling city. What tiger show? We are going to no zoo?! *ops

Nevertheless we have decided that okay Miki is coming with us. We will be going as a family. Hooray!

Until last Sunday. We went out to MidValley and Miki insisted to spend 20 minutes, that is 1200 seconds mind you! to watch four fat feet being feasted by disgusting little black fish in the aquarium-like display window OF A FISH SPA! Live! Squirming little fishy! Biting on stinky feet! Yuck! Disgusting! Yet the little kid refused to budge, wriggled his body free when I hold him and kept running back to the window with awe..

“Wow!! Pish git kaki!!”

Like it is the most mesmerizing thing on earth. Not to mention he wants to “tekann!” the buttons in the lift, standing on the moving stroller instead of sitting, insist we take home all the stuffed cats in Lovely Lace, and count the sugar sachets one-by-one at the reataurant after he colored the table blue with crayon. We only looked away for a few seconds.

People say “The Terrible Two” to describe uncontrollable children behavior at the age two, well mine started at the age of 8 months.

After a few hours of chaos and stress. on our way back from MidValley, Azman and I dengan penuh sepakat dan rela hati dan penuh tulus ikhlas decided not to bring Miki to Bangkok. Farewell my son.. Take care.. Mummy and Daddy is going on our second honeymoon! Hooray!!

I am now checking the stuff that I can do in Bangkok apart from shopping. You guys have any idea? Perhaps we should check out the spa. I remember the time when we went to the spa in Bali for our first honeymoon; as we were pampered on the massage bed side by side, I swear the Balinese masseuse girl spent the longest time massaging my husband’s butt! Mak sentapz okay?! I just married that guy a couple of days before!! Mencii!!

So should we try the Thai’s massage? I am scared now.
