custom domain name with a Blogger account

Currently I'm using a custom domain (hcfoo.com) but my blog is still hosted by Blogger. After purchased the domain name at GoDaddy, I tried to configure the settings but failed many times because both Blogger help site and GoDaddy support team gave me different information.

How do I use a custom domain name on my blog?
How do I create a CNAME record for my custom domain?

In the end Blogger help site is correct but what I did wrong was I typed hcfoo.com instead of www.hcfoo.com in my Blogger setting (under Publishing).

By the way, GoDaddy provides FREE host and email (I set mine as blogger@hcfoo.com) but I decided to just keep the free host since I'm using Blogger as my host.

Updates: After a couple of hours my blog failed again. I reported the matter and received an instruction from GoDaddy support teamto rectify the problem.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for contacting Online Support. You can forward your domain directly to an IP address by modifying the A record for your domain. Please follow the directions below to accomplish this:

First, log into your customer account:

. Go to the Go Daddy Account Login Page
. Log in using your account username (which may be the same as your customer number) and password

If you have trouble logging in, our password reset form may help you. You can find this form through the following link:
Account Retrieval Page

Once logged in, follow these steps:

. Select 'Manage Domains' from the 'Domain Names' menu at the top of the page
. Click on the domain you wish to Forward (Setup an A-Record) for
. Click the '+' next to "Total DNS Control" from the menu. (This option will only be available for domains Parked or Hosted on our servers)
. Click the 'Total DNS Control And MX Records' link
. Enter the IP address for the '@' Zone Record Value and click 'Save'

Please allow 1 hour for the Zone File to be updated with this new information. Your domain will then physically point to the IP address entered.

Sincerely,
Online Support
Technician

It worked. Hence it shows that the instruction in Blogger is incomplete and user needs to enter and divert to Google's IP address which is 72.14.207.121 in the A(Host) in Total DNS Control.

habits or little known facts about me

Vhanded tagged me!

Here are the 10 weird things or habits or little known facts about me:

1. I'm 30 years old (no, I'm not afraid to let you guys know my age) but security guards at Genting casino still asked for my MyKad. It happened so many times I'm not sure if I should take it as a compliment or an insult.
2. Speaking about Genting, I'm one of those people who chose to sleep in the car at the parking lot in the open air.
3. I'm obsess with mint. From mint chocolate ice cream to tiger balm, I can't live without them.
4. I can't swim and I'm afraid of the water.
5. I have phobia over snakes. It's pretty serious because if I flipped through a magazine and unexpectedly come across a snake picture, I'll jumped up.
6. I've written fan letters and send sketches to New Kids On The Block, Toni Braxton and Wilson Phillips when I was in secondary school.
7. I used to have 5 piercings on my left ears.
8. I'm very particular about toilets. I would rather tahan until I go home. And I appreciate clean public toilet like the one at Mobil Bandar Utama.
9. I'm easily touched when watching movies. It doesn't have to be a romance movie. As long as the movie has a touching line, I'm moved.
   
10. I still keep a journal of all the sajak I've written since secondary school.

I think I still feel normal after disclose my secret habits and facts. Now I get to tagged another 6 people. They are:

1. flsam
2. che-cheh
3. aziya
4. papajoneh
5. julie

Donald Trump won @ Wrestlemania 23 and got 'stunned'

As expected Donald Trump won the Battle of the Billionaires and Vince McMahon had to go home bald.

After the shave, while celebrating Donald Trump's win, Steve Austin a.k.a Stone Cold gave Trump an unexpected Stunner! However, the Stunner was totally off. Either Trump did not practice enough or chicken out in the last minute.



This is the impact on Donald Trump after the Stunner.

papa jahat - a ban song?

Have you guys listen to this song called 'Papa Jahat' by Fabulous Catz (Cat Ruffedge) before? I heard it on FLY FM last week and my sister told me her Malay colleague said that the phrase 'papa jahat' is used when people having sex.

I think this song is not so suitable to be played on the radio. I'm not conservative but hey, the radio station used to ban a lot of my favourite songs back in the 90s such as Boys To Men's I'll Make Love To You and Inner Circle's A Lalalala Long (Sweat).

So what do you think of the lyrics? I'm not sure if I'm dirty minded and misinterpret the lyrics. Why don't you be the judge?

The Fabulous Catz ...

Nama saya Jahat....Papa Jahat

Chorus:
Papa jangan papa jahat
Jangan papa nakal sangat
Mama jangan mama sekat
Jadi papa tak terleka

Papa jangan papa jahat
Mama tahu papa ligat
Mama jangan paksa sangat
Papa tengah cukup penat

Papa papa sangat jahat
Takde otak nak melihat
Gila-gilanya ia kerja
Jangan dibuat

Papa papa kerja kuat
Dulunya papa penuh muslihat
Papa janji papa takkan buat
Ingat janji papa yang diikat

Oh cuba nak percaya
Oh tak ku perdaya sayang percaya..oh oh
Oh takkan ku berdusta..oh oh oh
Takkan ku perdaya sayang percaya

(ulang chorus)

Senorita aku gila kat kau
Mama sita janganlah menderita tersiksa
Tak diabaikan janji kita
Tak kembali ke zaman silam

Bila petik jari dah terguling-guling
Tak tentu hari bawa berasing-asing
Itu dulu kini tak begitu
Satu persatu semuanya berlalu itu kutahu

Bila ku tak gilakanmu
Susahku tak siapa tahu
Jangan kau mulakan serantau
Sebab kau sentiasa buatku kemarau

Oh cuba nak percaya tak ku perdaya
Sayang percaya
Oh takkan kuberdusta
Takkan ku perdaya sayang percaya

(ulang chorus)

Berikan percaya darimu
(telah kuberikan segala)
Tidak pernah ku ingkari dirimu
(tak mungkin, tak mungkin)
wowow.....

Mama mama percayalah ku tak guris hatimu
Papa papa kupercaya yang kau ubati hatiku
Mama mama percayalah ku tak guris hatimu
Papa papa kupercaya yang kau ubati hatiku

(ulang chorus)
