Really hoped that Nathan is on MC when I woke up yesterday morning. But no, I don't wanna be as slow as DSCAU, so I still walked to class. Luckily he was here, or I will really lodge a complain to FAS. Chemistry lab was early today. We used only 45 minutes to finish what we're supposed to do. Found out that I forgot to bring my wallet, again, so I went back my room to pick up my wallet.

Had my lunch in McD together with HSiang, Lyence, Soong, Harvard, Siew, Kenneth and Mr. Lim. I don't know what happened to me, and I mistook their conversation twice in just a few minutes. Felt so dumb that time. I went back with Mr. Lim, together with HSiang, Kenneth and Soong, while Lyence, Siew and Harvard went to Giant. Siew lost his 3-month old 999 bucks handphone there and was pissed. Aww, I pity him...

What a hot afternoon it was. I kept sweating when I'm taking a nap. Fortunately, rain started falling and it was more comfortable. HSiang called and suggested to go pasar malam to have our dinner. HSiang followed Mr. Lim's car while Soong, Siew and I followed Lyence's car. Thought we forgot about Harvard, but suddenly remembered he went back home in the afternoon LOL.

Lyence driving.
Siew sitting beside Lyence.
Soong looking outside.

We bought lots and lots of food, and met WX and Komala there, with 2 other Korean. Komala asked Lyence to send them back to hostel first, so the remaining 4 of us have to squeeze into Mr. Lim's Vios. Had our dinner in dinning hall, and phew, that was satisfying. I ate until I can't stuff anything into my stomach anymore... There was still some murtabak left which I can't finish and was thinking to have it as supper.

My dinner.



Later, Ray invited me to his room. I brought the murtabak there, and Fukuyama took it whole. Played both PS2 and PSP, and found out that Ray's Naruto Shippuuden Ultimate Accel 2 is unusable!! We also experience lag with the 3 PSPs there. Our hypothesis is that unstable magnetic field in Ray's room interferes with the WiFi of the PSPs, causing lagness in WiFi LAN game of the PSPs.









Woot, look at the time now! Have to get up early tomorrow to fulfill my promise with Fukuyama. I definitely will castrate him if he 'aeroplane' me.

Disabling UAC

Feeling frustrated when you are using your Windows, especially Windows Vista? Just copying your stuff from a pendrive to your hard disk, you'll have click 'continue' every time when the message jumps out. But hey! Do you know that you can switch off that notice, and then that prompt will be gone forever? I sometimes pity those who doesn't know this and have to give in and click are few more times, getting frustrated and irritated.

There are few ways to siwtch this off. For example editing your Regedit but let's not go that way as your PC will be GG-ed if you accidentally deleted something else. The easiest way is to go to your Control Panel. In the search box situated at the top right corner of your window, type UAC, as indicated by the red square in the picture below. Unfortunately, it will be a bit different for Vista users, so I will include it later.

Next, click on Change User Account Control settings(underlined in red colour in the picture above). A window will pop out. Depending on your personal liking, you can toggle the bar up or down. In this case, you want to switch off the prompt message, so drop the bar to the last or second last level, and you're done!

There is a little difference between Windows Vista and Windows 7. Vista users have to click on User Accounts and Family Safety(indicated in red circle in the picture below) before typing UAC in the search box.
Click on it, then uncheck Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer. Restart your computer when you are prompted to do so, then you are done! But there will be a small warning message popping out every time. You can just ignore it by changing your setting in your control panel.

Today is Thursday, and yes! I had Chemistry today! Here are some moral values I 'learnt':
1. Go amazon.com to order Roxxxy. It costs only USD7k.
2. MU is gay(because of 'man united'). Man City is also gay(city with man only).
3. Arsenal is the best(大炮车).
4. A girl can only get 6 boyfriends at most. One boyfriend for each day. Sunday is a holiday.
5. Girls should look for Lewis base boyfriends.
6. You reach Nirvana when you watch porn.

Yeah, that's all for today. Nitez~~

I was bored yesterday afernoon after lunch. Was in the library and shot some photos to get me away from the boredom. Thank you Nicole for the stuffs inside your pencil case LOL!

Guess who's handphone are these?

Having MCB class this morning. As usual, I was listening to Mr. Lim's lecture. When he talked about 'cell differentiation', my hands just automatically moved and wrote these on the table, while Lyence looked on:

Next week will be Test 1 for MCB. Thank goodness Mr. Lim gave us some freebies to motivate us. Hmph~~ MCB chapter 1 to 5, here I go!!

Later in MAT lab, it seems that everyone we're really bored and tired. Some of us feel really sleepy, and some slept already[Shhh... I won't tell, no worries :)]. The guy sitting beside Ray had a good fish in the class too!! After finishing lab assignment 6, I gave up on assignment 7. Lyence and I started doing stupid stuff again(started by Ray)...New handphone powered by Intel Core 2 Duo, with Windows Vista installed!!

Lyence showing off the handphone.

Calculator 570MS with Windows Vista xD

I overheard someone talking about me, and I was grateful that I heard it. I've always known that I had the tendency to do that, as it easily slips and everything can't be undone. I'm happy that he voiced, and I'm trying hard to change myself, to reduce the chance of people to think bad about me, though some are still unavoidable. I don't blame him and I forgave him, as part of it is my fault too. I never knew he can't bear with it, so I'm sorry.

Fukuyama and Ray strongly advice photos uploaded here to be watermarked. So starting today, I'm going to watermark my photos. Anyway, have to study for the quiz tomorrow. Stopping here~~

Windows 7

Windows 7 has been launched here for a few months now, since October 2009. The launching of Windows 7 ends the regime of Windows Vista, which lasted only 3 years, way shorter than Windows XP which served for 8 years. Some doubted the quality and performance of Windows 7 as they fear it will just be the repitition of Windows Vista.

Luckily, Windows 7 turned out to be better than Windows Vista. There are few versions of Windows 7 released, Starter, Home Basic(not released within this region), Home Premium, Professional(business Windows) and Ultimate. You can say that Windows 7 is the 'Vista version' of Windows XP, as it is simpler and more user friendly compared to Windows Vista, thus Your PC, simplified. It uses less in RAM, normally 40% when you have 6 windows open. The processor normally remains less than 5% if you are just idling and doesn't fly to more than 60% when you switch on a programme like Photoshop.

Windows 7 removed some features in Windows Vista and added some features not found in Windows Vista. You can have a look over here and here! A mascot for Windows 7, Nanami Madobe, is created prior to the launching of Windows 7 in Japan, voiced by 水樹奈々! Why 水樹奈々? Simply because 奈々 sounds like 7(七) in Japanese. Why 'Madobe' then? In Japanese, windows is translated into 'mado'. Thus, Nanami Madobe literally means Windows 7, with the additional 'mi' to sound girly and 'be' to sound like a first name.

Here are some features of Windows 7:
Point your mouse cursor at the small rectangular box at the end of the taskbar, you will get to the desktop. Windows key + D does the same.

If you don't want to go to click on desktop but you wanted to look at what is on your desktop, just hold Windows key and spacebar.

Hold ALT + TAB key will allow you to switch between windows. With AeroPeek, a nicer windows switching can be done with Windows key + TAB(also in Windows Vista). And of course, you will need to enable AeroPeek in order to do this.

Some other combinations also can be done(some are included in Windows Vista) -
Windows key + U brings out Ease of Centre.

Windows key + P brings out external display options.

Windows key + F turns on Search window.

Windows key + X brings out Windows Mobility Centre(may differ between units).

Windows key + R turns on Run window.

Windows key + G selects gadgets on your desktop.

Windows key + L logs off user.

Windows key + E brings out Computer.

Winodws key + + zooms in where your courser is while Whidows key + - zooms out.

Windows key + upward arrow maximizes a window while Windows key + downward arrow minimises a window.

Windows key + left arrow snaps the window to the left while Windows key + right snaps the window to the right.

AeroPeek is automatically enabled when you have a GPU. Aeropeek is normally disabled if you are having an onboard graphic VGA(lower Intel Graphic Accelerator XXX)[red rectangular box]. Some may find the grouping in in the taskbar annoying. Changes can be made by selecting the option where the red circle indicates.

Well, I'll say Windows 7 FTW!! If you want to use Windows in a 64-bit platform, be sure that your processor can support 64-bit operations. 64-bit can fully utilize your RAM of more than 4GB, not like 32-bit platform, which can only supports up to 4GB of RAM, but only 3GB usable. Wanted to change to Windows 7? No problem, if and only if you bought your lappy or desktops in the period of July till December with Windows Vista preinstalled, write to your manufacturer and they will issue a copy of Windows 7 to you(Home Premium and above only). Be sure to do a clean install if you are upgrading from Windows XP or lower. You can just upgrade directly if you are using Windows Vista. Get more info in Microsoft's official page.

I'm stopping here, have to finish my reports...

It's all too much / Never say die; GLORIA

Early in the morning, and yet I'm still wide awake. Just came back from 'Malas-la' and sitting here to fix some stuff here and there.

At last, I got back my beloved lappy 2 days ago, on Friday!! I've waited for this for, let's see, 4 weeks? I remembered sending it in on the 1st of January this year. But, I'm not happy, NOT HAPPY!!! Mine was Ultimate version 64-bit when I sent it in, and it came back as Home Premium 32-bit UNACTIVATED VERSION!! I still have 27 days left when I switched on it. They told me it wasn't a hardware problem, but the 'entanglement' of audio codecs that causes the abnormality of the speakers. So they offered to reformat my C Drive and backup my data in the other partition, so I thought 'Why not?', but I never thought it would end up to be like this!!

I still have to thank Harvard as he purposely accompany me all the way down to KL just to get my lappy back. Of course I have to thank Lyence for sending us to and fro the station. Harvard and I talked alot in the commuter train before reaching Central an hour later. I helped Fukuyama to buy a 4GB pendrive too (That guy, asked him to follow me but he don't want to, darn!). The plan of going to Greenbox was cancelled when it was raining heavily outside when we left Lowyat. Having no choice, we walked around Time's Square and went back.

Missed 2 trains in Central as it was too packed. Everyone is in TGIF mood afterall, plus Thaipussam the next day, we were pushed out 2 times from the train. Luckily the train we got on board was quite empty, which arrived 4 minutes later than the previous one (back-to-back service as it is in peak hours). I don't know we were counted lucky or not, but we were forced to leave the train at Bangi, and we were supposed to arrive at our destination just after one more station. What to do? The 'Ma's are so efficient!

Barely reached hostel at 6.30pm and rushed to MPH at 7pm. Thanks to Larry, I was able to sweat for 1 hour and 40 minutes non-stop, playing badminton!! I was surprised with my own stamina, and I got muscle pains all around my body now... Had my dinner with Fukuyama and gang, which was supposed to be their supper. I thanked Fukuyama properly for loaning his other lappy to me for almost a week, so that I can finish my lab reports.

I spent the whole night till yesterday morning reformatting and reinstalling this lappy. Of course I slept, or else I'm gonna die of sleep deprivation. Continued the installation at 6.40am yesterday morning after I did my laundry. I found out later that my driver CD is not working!! For Pete's sake, why does it have to be corrupted??!! Had no choice but to download drivers from ASUS offical web, which I is yet to be done till now.

Installed Photoshop CS3 this afternoon for Ray's Site-Exchange Programme, which you can read it in more detailed from Ray's or Fukuyama's page. Wanted to install CS4 actually, but was lazy to walk to Ray's room and get the setup file from him, so I installed CS3 which I already got instead. Spent my afternoon just to create that little 170 × 50 thumbnail, and I did it!! It was my first time using Photoshop LOL!!

Next, I spent my night doing bits and bits of changes here, including this blog's template. Ray came to my room and helped me somehow, Fukuyama did too, but later. Taught Ray some maths, though I'm also not quite good at it. Liverpool won 2-0 as we were having roti canai in Al-salam just now.

I have stopped writing about J music since March last year. Wow, that was hell long!! So I decided to add something I missed, YUI's singles, It's all too much / Never say die and GLORIA. It's all too much / Never say die was released on the 7th of October last year, and I liked 'Never say die' a lot!! Here is the tracklist:
1. It's all too much
2. Never say die
3. again - YUI acoustic version-
4. It's all too much - instrumental-

GLORIA was just released on 20th this month. 4 tracks were included, and 'GLORIA' is very catchy. 'Muffler' was quite nice. The tracklist is:
1. GLORIA
2. Muffler
3. It's all too much -YUI acoustic version-
4. GLORIA ~instrumental~

YUI, grow you hair!! xD. By the way, I wish Mum a Happy Belated Birthday!!! I'll give half of the stuff you took this morning and be sure to share it with Dad :P. But the other half is still mine!! Okay, I'm gonna stop here now. Fukuyama and Mr. Lim are crapping and I can't concentrate anymore. Cheers and ciao~~

I never thought this will happen. I know Japan is being hit hard by the recent recession, but one of the largest carrier in Asia filing for bankruptcy protection was really shocking. People expect new resolution from a new year, but this doesn't seem to be a good resolution.

As reported on 19 January, Japan Airlines, or JAL in short, announced that they are bankrupt. Even their board members have decided resigning, causing roughly 15,600 to loose their jobs. As of 19 January, the shares of JAL is only 10% of the previous week, and now the whole value of the company is only $150m, barely enough for a jumbo jet.

Japanese government announced that flights will still continue as they are restructuring the company. Plans of replacing older aircrafts and flying routes are being made (about 12 international destinations).

I heard from my brother that their service were damn good, and wanted to try it someday... But anyway, Delta Airlines has issued a statement to help JAL out, with the condition that they have to join SkyTeam and leave OneWorld.

You can read more about it HERE or HERE.

Just finished both my CHM and MCB lab reports. Feeling very tired right now. What Ray told me just now:

"We have a good network indeed. Although Kent's country is damn rich because he has a lot of oil, he still need my country. My country has only water, so we need your (referring to me) country. Your country have technology to process crude oil while Fukuyama's country is an entrepot, dealing with packaging and exporting."


Having 8am class later, so I guess I'll stop here.
