Garage Storage

"this is a sponsored post"

Traditionally, garage is just part of your house where you park or house you motor vehicles. But in fact garage is more than just that, it is also another space or room (perhaps the largest room) in your house.

Besides storing car-related tools and magazines in my garage storage cabinets, I have many unused or seldom-used items in my garage as well. But I am considering fixing it up a little and making it comfortable for buddies/family entertainment zone.

To improve my garage storage functionality, I need a stylish and sophisticated modular garage storage system to transform my old garage into a functional room.

Notebook upgraded

I just bought 2 pieces of 1G RAM and upgraded my notebook as I am sitting at Starbucks just opposite the digital mall. Having my favorite coffee and writing this post.

This is one of my wish for this year, I bought this Notebook I think 18 months ago with 512MB RAM, decided to upgraded since this notebook giving me some hard time to play some hard core program like Virtual PC.

This upgrade cost me like RM250 as that is RM125 Per piece I bought, I still fell worth it as I am going to focus on my thesis for my master’s degree in UM. I am going to work on this as the course already taking me more than 4 years to worry.
So, now I got 2 pieces of 256MB RAM to sell any one interested? :)

There is another thing need to purchase is graphic card for my Desktop PC.

This is considering a great move for me, Life move on~~

Will Man Utd’s laid hit the goal trail again?

For those who really catch up with EPL recently. You should know that Man Utd is having problem scoring goal with the absence for Rooney, Ronaldo and Saha.

Their absence is the main factor in the relatively low goal tally for Man Utd. Tonight, they are going to play together again vs infamous Birmingham City, but the game will be host at St Andrews Stadium, Birmingham city.

Big question for all the Man Utd’s fans again, will them deliver some interesting goal by tonight’s match. And this is one of the big question marks in my head as well. Birmingham City Fc just got a draw from previous match VS Liverpool last weekend. Will they be able to perform like last week when meet Man Utd tonight ?

Let’s watch the match tonight.

Saturday Again

Today is going to be a Relaxing day for me, as I just come back from my lunch after wake up from my bed.
Last night was in the office for the Inventory count happen for my company. I stayed at office until 4 o’clock in the morning by extracting data for inventory count and optimizing database while waiting.

Later I am going to have a shopping for accessories of my notebook and Desktop PC at digital mall as my notebook having a hard time to run some big Program like virtual PC. I need to upgrade RAM for my lovely PC in order to run some high end program. Need to purchase Graphic cards for my Desktop PC as it came with integrated graphic card. But still have no idea which graphic card to go for.

after that, I might be busy to testing and setting up my PC and notebook for like 1-2 hours and see the outcome of the upgrade. Tonight is going to be a free and easy night after the shopping and setup. Maybe will go for the football match by 12.10AM to catch Man Utd in action again.

Cheers ~~

Old PC works like a new one

When you got a PC with just low end specs due to "tight" budget, please don't give up on that PC. Try to figure out what can be added pn to make it works like new.
There are some tips to get it done:

1. Regularly delete the temporary files that clutter up your disk. clean up some unused fonts as the PC may load them when start up. try Disk defragmenter every week.
2. Don't keep the internet history for more than 7 days. (by default it set to 20 days, if I am not mistaken)
3. Check the start up program that no longer usefull for yourself by typing "msconfig" at RUN to check and unclick it(better becareful and sure about the program that want to uncheck)
4. Invest some Disk Maintainance software for keep the PC healthy.
5. Or upgrade the RAM by DIV, or maybe faster graphic card, and even upgrade the processor that fit to your motherboard specifications.

Live a Stress-Free Life

I find myself having problems in cooping with stress these days. There are just too much to worry about; not only work, but also your life. You need to take care of your people at work, worry about deadlines, performance and KPI. In life, you need to look after your family members, your loved ones and your friends. Sometimes, life is really miserable. But all and all, you can’t let all these obstacles to beat you down, rite? So I figure out some ways to let myself out, to SET MYSELF FREE!!

First, EXERCISE!! I played futsal whenever I am feeling down or not well. It is so refreshing after exercising and you actually feel good about yourself. It doesn’t have to be futsal, it can be yoga, belly dancing, badminton or others. Exercise is a good way to keep you yourself healthy both physically and mentally.

Secondly, get yourself a HOBBY!! People who are busy would care less about being worried of everything. For me, I enjoy playing PC games, especially football games. Be it strategic or simulation games, I enjoy the moment I try hard to figure out which strategy or pattern fits my team the most. I am like into the game, as if it is more than just a game. Those game-lovers will know exactly how I feel. I am sorry if you don’t have a hobby now, but start exploring now. It doesn’t have to be something new or fancy. It could just probably be something you used to be fond of, but just has been deserted for quite some time.

Next on, VACATION!! I always enjoy vacation. The destination doesn’t have to be luxurious, but preferably exotic. Grab a map, walk around, take a cab, get a bus tour, enjoy the food, and meet the people. Traveling actually widen your view, and helps you to think from different perspective.

These are the 3 things I can think of for now to stress-free myself. And most importantly, they work! Cheers!

About Me

As some of you may realize that I just updated my profile. I am going to describe further about me.

My hometown is Pokok Sena, lovely village from Kedah. People living there is very friendly. I need to stay far from my hometown, it’s because I am working at PJ for living.

I realize that I always worry about my life, my future, think too much about tasks to finish. Maybe I am a serious person, and I am serious about my life. Why I am so serious and worry about my life?
Ok, question: Ever get the feeling that life is flying by and you can barely catch a breath?
Well, I always feel that, that is why I am so worry about my life. The year is flying past and I feel like I'm needing to 'rewind real slow' to catch my undone things. And after all I am standing still, Finish just a little bit from my important tasks.

I think almost every individual have a same thinking like me, they don’t like to work but enjoy life. Travel is one of my passion, but sad to say that I really married to my daily work and very hard to escape from that, some more commitment that I have nowadays compared with money that I earning, it’s hard for me to let the money gone and go travel. That’s y I always think of doing something can bring me out from the daily work, and start to travel from now on, but still.. I am here working with my keyboard typing and computer with the familiar display. Kekkeee….

Article about Interaction Design

I got this article when studying on User Interface Design from a book called: Interaction Design (beyond human-computer interaction).
It’s interesting to discuss more on this article.

The article: A provocative idea is that computers should apologize when they make a mistake. Reeves and Naas (1996), for example, argue that they should be polite and courteous in the same way as people are to one another. While apologizing is normal social etiquette in human behavior, especially when someone makes a mistake, would you agree that computers should be made to behave in the same way? Would users be as forgiving of computers as they are of one another? For example, what would most users think if, after a system had crashed, it came up with a spoken or written apology such as, “I’m really sorry I crashed. I’ll try not to do it again”? Would they think that the computer was being sincere? would the apology make them forgive the computer in the way they forgive other people, after receiving such an apology? Or would it have no effect at all? Worse still, would users perceive such messages as vacuous statements and regard them simply as condescending, thereby increasing their level of frustration? How else might systems communicate with users when they have commited an error?

This article really stunned me for a while, as I slowly digest the article and found out an interesting part of the article. (After a system had crashed, it came up with a spoken or written apology such as, “I’m really sorry I crashed. I’ll try not to do it again”) that’s really funny.

Let try some response about this, What if when windows crashed, the Error Message will come out with polite way like: Sorry, Windows Crashed again, kindly press any key to continue or Press alt + Ctrl + Delete to Restart the PC. I’ll not try to crash again.

Do user feel better when see this message?

Disk Defragmenter

As every one know windows comes with a tool name Disk Defragmenter. Which is you can find it under Accessories > System Tools in the Start menu. But why Disk Defragmenter?

As I understand from Googling. When we save a file into our PC, operating system will saves files in many pieces instead of one contiguous piece, there will be Disk fragmentation occurs. And this always happens in every PC, It is a natural occurrence on all the computers. So, when you notice Computer running slow after sometimes, disk fragmentation is the cause.

Disk defragmenter is specialized software that places all the fragments (pieces) of a file back together so your computer can access them faster. It also consolidates your available disk space into larger pieces to minimize future file fragmentation.

Fragmentation accumulates so fast, it can affect performance after only a few hours of using your computer. So, please remember to run the Disk defragmenter to keep your PC running efficiently.
