他不懂你的心

I heard this song a couple of times on radio but always forgot to search for it. The conversation in the music video is fairly interesting as well, the final answers takes the cake.

张杰 - 他不懂

他留给你是背影
Ta liu gei ni shi bei ying
关于爱情只字不提
Guan yu ai qing zhi zi bu ti
害你哭红了眼睛
Hai ni ku hong le yan jing
他把谎言说的竟然那么动听
Ta ba huang yan shuo de jing ran na me dong ting
他不止一次骗了你
Ta bu zhi yi ci pian le ni
不值得你再为他伤心
Bu zhi de ni zai wei ta shang xin

*
他不懂你的心假装冷静
Ta bu dong ni de xin jia zhuang leng jing
他不懂爱情把它当游戏
Ta bu dong ai qing ba ta dang you xi
他不懂表明相爱这件事
Ta bu dong biao ming xiang ai zhe jian shi
除了对不起就只剩叹息
Chu le dui bu qi jiu zhi sheng tan xi
他不懂你的心为何哭泣
Ta bu dong ni de xin wei he ku qi
窒息到快要不能呼吸
Zhi xi dao kuai yao bu neng hu xi
喔喔 他不懂你的心
Ta bu dong ni de xin

他把回忆留给你
Ta ba hui yi liu gei ni
连同忧伤强加给你
Lian tong you shang qiang jia gei ni
对你说来不公平
Dui ni shuo lai bu gong ping
他的谎言句句说的那么动听
Ta de huang yan ju ju shuo de na me dong ting
他不止一次骗了你
Ta bu zhi yi ci pian le ni
不值得你再为他伤心
Bu zhi de ni zai wei ta shang xin

How to fix Buffalo CS-XL NAS EM issue OR upgrade to newer firmwares

I feel a strong obligation to share my entire day's worth of trial and error not to mention download hell. For those of you who owns Buffalo CS-XL NAS, you might have been disappointed with the results from Google for your problem. You are in luck because I will be helping you out if you got into the same error as I did OR you can upgrade your extremely outdated firmware :)

To make sure we are on the same page or rather using the same device, here is the picture of my device:

 My device, CloudStore CS-XL (doesn't really matter what is the size of the storage)

 

NOT our device, the LinkStation LS-XL most likely renamed because Cloudstore is the same name as the device by Synology

So why do I need to show you both? Any person with a passable eyesight would notice that both are too alike to NOT be the same. I have went through the testing and I can vouch that they are the same, well at least in terms of the firmware which is probably what lead you here.

If you have hit the error Emergency Mode (EM), verified using Buffalo's NAS Navigator software, you will be asked to update your firmware i.e. CloudStor v1.13 (the same as your current). Unfortunately for me, my device went into EM without the LEDs blinking nor did it turn red but it was inaccessible all the same. You may download the firmware here.

If you have successfully gotten your device to work again then congratulations! If you have not read on, same goes for those who wants to upgrade their firmware to a newer version.

At the point of this post was written, the latest available firmware is LinkStation v1.7 and the firmware can be downloaded here (please do download it, required for the next steps). Once you have gotten the firmware, extract the content and you should see a bunch of files. What is of concern to you are just 2 files, the LSUpdater.ini and LSUpdater.exe.

Open the LSUpdater.ini using notepad and you should see this:

[Application]
Title = BUFFALO LinkStation Series Updater Ver.1.70
WaitReboot = 1200
WaitFormat = 600
WaitFileSend = 600
WaitDiscover = 120

[Target]
ProductID = 0x00000011
ProductID2 = 0x00000012
ProductID3 = 0x00000013
ProductID4 = 0x00000014
ProductID5 = 0x00003006
ProductID6 = 0x00003007
ProductID7 = 0x00000015
ProductID8 = 0x00000016
ProductID9 = 0x00003008
ProductID10 = 0x00004001
ProductID11 = 0x00000017
ProductID12 = 0x00000019
ProductID13 = 0x00000020
ProductID14 = 0x00003010
Name = LinkStation

[Flags]
VersionCheck = 1
NoFormatting = 1

Update the content to be like so, the changes are marked with RED. The CloudStore models are added into the file and it was recommended by other support sites that the VersionCheck field should be changed as well, that's what I did so I am sticking to it. Save the file with the new contents!!!

[Application]
Title = BUFFALO LinkStation Series Updater Ver.1.70

ProductID5 = 0x00003006
ProductID6 = 0x00003007
ProductID7 = 0x00000015
ProductID8 = 0x00000016
ProductID9 = 0x00003008

ProductID14 = 0x00003010
ProductID15 = 0x00003009
ProductID16 = 0x0000300A
ProductID17 = 0x0000002A
Name = LinkStation

[Flags]
VersionCheck = 0
NoFormatting = 1

Make sure that your NAS is connected to a stable network and NAS Navigator is able to detect it plus it is in the same segment e.g. 192.168.0.*. Run LSUpdater.exe, it should be able to detect your NAS now. If you ran LSUpdater.exe without changing the values, your NAS will not be detected. Click Update. This process will take a while, at least 15-20 minutes as far as I can remember.

After the updater have done its work, you will be prompted a message. Mine said the firmware was NOT compatible BUT my NAS was still displaying steady blue LED light i.e. no issues and finally NAS Navigator is showing that my NAS is using the name I had assigned it and no more EM status. YAY!!!

Now try to access your updated NAS by using the IP as detected by NAS Navigator and you will notice a different looking login page:

Login page of v1.7 firmware for LinkStation, but it is working in my CloudStore :p

MOST other people have reported that they CANNOT login back to their NAS because our previous screen DOES NOT ask for username! The username you should key in now is "admin" (without the quotes) and the password which you used to manage your NAS before this.

I hope you didn't encounter that issue, so if you didn't, CONGRATULATIONS! You have just updated your CloudStore with the latest firmware! To my delight, the bittorent client seems to have been updated as well, at least in terms of the look and feel. I hope this post was able to help you my fellow Buffalo CloudStore CS-XL users =) Cheers

莫文蔚&張洪量 - 广岛之恋

Caught up with another oldies when it was broadcasted over the radio. This is one of the few rare songs which the title is not in the song. Maybe that is why it is not posted here before :p One of my all time favorites that is for sure!

莫文蔚&張洪量 - 广岛之恋

(张洪量)你早就该拒绝我 不该放任我的追求
给我渴望的故事 留下丢不掉的名字
(莫文蔚)时间难倒回 空间易破碎
二十四小时的爱情 是我一生难忘的美丽回忆

(张洪量)越过道德的边境我们走过爱的禁区
享受幸福的错觉 误解了快乐的意义
(莫文蔚)是谁太勇敢 说喜欢离别
只要今天不要明天
眼睁睁看着爱从指缝中溜走 还说再见
(张洪量)不够时间好好来爱你
(莫文蔚)早该停止风流的游戏
(合唱)愿被你拋弃 就算了解而分离
不愿爱的没有答案结局
(张洪量)不够时间好好来恨你
(莫文蔚)终于明白恨人不容易
(合唱)爱恨消失前 用手温暖我的脸
为我证明我曾真心爱过你
(合唱)爱过你 爱过你 爱过你 爱过你

(张洪量)越过道德的边境我们走过爱的禁区
享受幸福的错觉 误解了快乐的意义
(莫文蔚)是谁太勇敢 说喜欢离别
只要今天不要明天
眼睁睁看着爱从指缝中溜走 还说再见
(张洪量)不够时间好好来爱你
(莫文蔚)早该停止风流的游戏
(合唱)愿被你拋弃 就算了解而分离
不愿爱的没有答案结局
(张洪量)不够时间好好来恨你
(莫文蔚)终于明白恨人不容易
(合唱)爱恨消失前 用手温暖我的脸
为我证明我曾真心爱过你
(合唱)爱过你 爱过你 爱过你 爱过你 

誰知道一想你, 思念苦無藥

Oldies are indeed goldies! I reminisced while this song was airing however the content is unfortunately another somewhat melancholic song. The lyrics hits it where it hurts most, the truth... Sudden memories might bring up something which you do not want to remember and all the feelings seem to rush back in :(

辛曉琪 - 味道

今天晚上的　星星很少　
不知道它們　跑那去了
赤裸裸的天空　
星星多寂寥

我以為傷心可以很少　
我以為我能　過得很好
誰知道一想你　
思念苦無藥　
無處可逃

想念你的笑　想念你的外套
想念你白色襪子　和你身上的味道
我想念你的吻　
和手指淡淡煙草味道　
記憶中曾被愛的味～道

今天晚上的　心事很少　
不知道這樣　算好不好
赤裸裸的寂寞　
朝著心頭繞

我以為傷心可以很少　
我以為我能　過得很好
誰知道一想你　
思念苦無藥　
無處可逃

想念你的笑　想念你的外套
想念你白色襪子　和你身上的味道
我想念你的吻　
和手指淡淡煙草味道　
記憶中曾被愛的味～道

At least I get to hear some songs which I am not too familiar with so that I can expand my knowledge instead of just sticking to singers whom I always listen to.

Double Three Hotel

I have finally checked in today, another achievement unlocked, leveled up another time etc. Unlike the previous years, I would have taken leave to just laze around in the house BUT today, I had to attend a meeting which was long overdue so can't really avoid that.

I got to the best start of the day by taking a wrong turn and added a couple of more kilometers to my journey to office. A surprise was in store for me in the office because my boss was at my office (normally she is at another office) and we did some catch up aka more work.

For lunch, I head back to my old company for their Raya Open House and supposedly a birthday celebration but there wasn't even a cake so I just did some more catch up with my old gang. I have to admit that I miss them very much.

The upside to this year perhaps is that I have a trip coming up in November to Korea :) Looking forward to seeing some kimchi girls, visit some of the places which always brings a smile to my face and taste some of the delicious looking foods.

Can't catch a break in the cinemas

Today I wanted to use a discount coupon to go kill some time so just picked any lousy movie which matched my time and voila. The problem is some people take things for granted and do disgusting things in the dark.

The story goes that the movie was shown without subtitles which was effing great! When it was realized, they stopped the movie and inserted the subtitles part into the movie (so there is something like a srt file for cinemas too it seems). Anyways, it was a long break between the stopping of the movie and showing it again with the subtitles. The lights were turned on, lo and behold a couple who initially had a girl raised her legs to be put above the chair in front of them and then the guy followed. Thinking that it was their home or something, they both started to wriggle their toes. After a short time which made me seriously sick to my stomach, I can't let this one slide so I MUST SHAME THESE FUCKERS!!!

Knowing full well that I will be ILLEGALLY taking pictures in the cinema, I turned on the flash so that it will alert those motherfuckers and hopefully have them stop doing that disgusting act. I took a picture and unfortunately the pre-flash alerted them too early and the girl probably due to embarrassment tried to very quickly  retract her legs but fortunately for her, I could not capture her face else I would have uploaded it onto Facebook at that very moment in the cinema!

I really felt like going in front to take a picture of their faces!

I hope the fuckers in this picture will find this picture and be ashamed of your useless self. If I ever see such things again, I will definitely take pictures of your faces!

World Cup fever

If you had not been around the past month, there was a super hot topic discussed even by the females who (MOST OF THEM) have no idea what football is about but were totally excited about it. I was totally taken aback during lunch on the day of Brazil's mauling by Germany. ALL of the tables were talking about the same topic although the girls practically have no idea what it means because many of them admitted that they had to Google up what's the story about after hearing all the guys talk about it in their office.

Anyways, that is not really what I want to talk about but rather something that might have caught the attention of some people i.e. the name of the players :p Due to language differences and cultures, there have been many interesting names, here are just a few that I can think of:

Neymar = Niama (rude Cantonese for your mother)
Blind = well not really blind but rather pronounced blee-ind
Immobile = OMG, what the heck is he doing on the pitch LOL, im-mo-bill-leh
Messi = well his previous haircut does make him messy :p
Hulk = he ain't green but he BIG
Oscar = not the statue itself BUT he did put in many deserving performances which might deserve 1
Song = no tune at all
Aguilar = Ah gila!
Bravo = he did put in a performance worthy of hailing BRAVO!
Krul = pronounced cruel or to that effect
James Rodriguez = Hammes Rodriguez, I wouldn't have known it was pronounced that way ...
Bony = he got muscles with that
Honda = conquering on the world stage, heck yeah
Sakai = err, no need to explain I suppose
Costly = *sweat*
Klose = before the start of the World Cup, he was close to breaking all the time scoring record. His name is pronounced as clause-r or something to that effect
Gotze = he doesn't have a goatee :p His name is pronounced as goat-ze
Kroos = you can say that he is the cruise control of the Germany team
Hazard = not really that hazardous in the World Cup. Pronounced ah-zard
Kompany = the defence is quite tight normally when you are in his company :p

The pronunciation parts are just my own way of making it out so it will definitely NOT be accurate. It was great to be able to see some of the players which I had interest in, in my Football Manager games and got to watch them play in real life. Had an even better time with my close friends watching together, even those who are normally NOT into football joined in =)

Now I can get back into my normal sleeping cycle after a couple of weeks of sleep deprivation.
