Earth Hour 2008 – 8PM March 29~


earth-hour-full.jpgIt started with a question: How can we inspire people to take action on climate change?

The answer: Ask the people of Sydney to turn off their lights for one hour.

About Earth Hour On March 31 2007, for one hour, Sydney made a powerful statement about the greatest contributor to global warming – coal-fired electricity – by turning off its lights. Over 2.2 million Sydney residents and over 2,100 businesses switched off, leading to a 10.2% energy reduction across the city. What began as one city taking a stand against global warming caught the attention of the world. If the greenhouse reduction achieved in the Sydney CBD during Earth Hour was sustained for a year, it would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year.

With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turning their lights off, and unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

On 8PM March 29th, 24 global cities will participate in the Earth Hour, with over 13,000 businesses joining in, to turn off the lights. Imagine all 24 cities will be in darkness for 1 hour, only lid by candles by everyone.

Defragment XP System Files (Page File and Registry)


In order to increase your system performance, a regular defragment task for all the drives should be performed. This is to prevent your drive from fragmented. But how do you defragment the system files then? The problem is that Windows XP doesn’t allow certain system files to be defragmented due to the files are open for exclusive access. Thus, standard defragmentation programs can neither show you how fragmented your paging files or Registry hives are, nor defragment them. System files fragmentation can lead to performance degradation of your system.

Here’s a utility called PageDefrag from Sysinternals (Microsoft) that provides you the ability for you to see how fragmented your paging files and Registry hives are, and to defragment them.

Once you launched the application, it will show you a list of system files and the number of fragments each file is in. If you feel that there are too many fragments in those files, just click on the “defragment at next boot” radio button. You can select defragment every boot if you want to, but I don’t really recommend that. Unless you only switch off your system once every month :lol:

Next, restart your computer, and you will be prompted to this BSOD blue screen which stating that the defragment process for system files is running.

Whoa la!~ Defragmentation is now completed. You may continue with your work now.

DanceJam Now Open Beta~


headerasset.pngEver tired of watching YouTube? DanceJam is a bit different from YouTube where it is only for dance videos. DanceJam is now launched into open beta after several months of private testing.

Here, you get to watch dance battles where users dance off against each other, and you can cast your vote for the best dance videos. I watched a few of the dance battles, some of the dance moves are really awesome! But there were some who are competing with different standards though  :lol: DanceJam also offers general dance videos, including locally uploaded content and videos from external sites such YouTube.

DanceJam was founded by M.C. Hammer (Can’t touch this! That was like.. err.. a decade ago? ), and Geoffrey Arone and Anthony Young from Flock. Get over and watch the videos, maybe you can learn some dance moves!  :razz:

Here’s a video that I find the moves quite entertaining.

Watch it here.

Happy CNY and Chinese Valentine’s Day~


It’s been quite long since the last post, and I myself can’t even believe that I’m writing a post on Happy Chinese New Year on the last day of Chinese New Year!

ist2_1201776_mandarin_oranges_in_hands.jpgToday is the 15th day of Chinese New Year, where people called it as “Chap Goh Meh” here. In traditions, it is considered as the Chinese Valentine’s Day. On this day, the all unmarried ladies and guys will gather by the river, where the ladies will throw mandarin oranges (with their names on it – if I’m correct :) ) from the bridge into the river, and the guys will pick the oranges from below. I know you knew how the stories goes… The guys will get to go out for a date with the girls whose names are on the oranges the guys picked up… (I really hope that this story I wrote here is correct… :P )

So what have you done during Chinese New Year? I took a long holiday, which ends up almost 2 weeks in total and had a really great rest at home. The reunion dinner this year is really different. My uncles didn’t come back for the dinner, as well as my 3rd sister (because she got married last year). So ended up, only my parents, my 2nd sister and me, 4 people eating the reunion dinner. Other than that, it’s just gathering with friends having a tea time at night at some mamak stalls.

Yee Sang – A must for Chinese New Year

2nd day of Chinese New Year is the time when I can feel some Chinese New Year atmosphere. The whole family went to Bidor, where my grandma stays, to have a reunion lunch with all the relatives of my mom’s family. It’s a big family, which was more than 30 people sitting in 3 tables to have lunch together at a restaurant. In the evening when my family and I went back home, my sisters came back from their husbands’ family side. And here comes.. the MONSTER!!

dsc_0472.JPG

ROAR!!!

The photo was taken quite long ago, where now her hair is much longer already. The monster came into our house and roared the whole neighborhood (cried out loud with all her strength!). Babies grows so fast and when you don’t even noticed it, she comes to you and called you “Kao fu!” (uncle in Cantonese). My heart melted.. :lol: But the sad thing is, I don’t get a chance to carry or hug her. She don’t let any guys to touch her other than her daddy. Some great attitude huh.. :mrgreen: Hanging out with the family is relaxing and calm. I haven’t been back to my hometown with my family since Deepavali which was a few months back. Every time I go back, I’ll be alone at home since I go back during weekdays and not on holidays (I’m working on shift and work on holidays as well).

On my 2nd week of my holiday, my secondary schoolmates and I went to Ipoh to collect our certificates. What certificate? We were once the best King Scouts in my hometown :lol: The purpose of going to Ipoh is to go to the Scouts’ Home to collect the King scout certificate. There was a ceremony to collect the certificate handed by the Raja Muda of Perak in Ipoh last June but none of us have the time to attend the ceremony. So ended up collect the certificate ourselves instead. The certificate is in A3 paper size, signed by all 9 Sultans and the King as well.

That’s how my Chinese New Year ends by gathering with my family and friends. As for the red packets? It is much lesser compared to the previous years. What to do.. I’m now in the working society already… :mrgreen:

So what did you do during your holidays? Mind to share? Hope you have a nice Chinese Valentine’s Day today. That ends our Chinese New Year this year.
