I had friend in my school, he is completely hopeless in playing guitar, so i'm helping him by teaching some song (basic song as more than words etc) until he can play guitar. 2 month or so later, i had him to teaching me f*cking barre chords.

Thank you soo much, you don't know how much i benefited from that!

one thing I just discovered is that you not only have to keep your finger straight on the guitar neck, you also have to keep your finger perfectly straight itself while pressing down. I tended to keep the last part of my finger straight, but the I had my hand a little bit too far towards me so it was a little bit bent at the beginning of my finger near the low e and B string. hope it helps (and you understand this ;p)

thanks a lot! this is a better technique for me because i used to used the fatty under side of my index finger. rotating it slightly anti-clockwise DOES make the bone more flat against the frets and produce a better sound!
