Find Yourself

July 24, 2007

by Brad Paisley from Cars original soundtrack

When you find yourself
In some far off place
And it causes you to rethink some things
You start to sense that slowly
You’re becoming someone else
And then you find yourself

When you make new friends in a brand new town
And you start to think about settlin’ down
The things that would have been lost on you
Are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself
Yeah that’s when you find yourself

Where you go through life
So sure of where you’re headin’
And you wind up lost and it’s
The best thing that could have happened
‘Cause sometimes when you lose your way it’s really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that’s when you find yourself

When you meet the one
That you’ve been waitin’ for
And she’s everything that you want and more
You look at her and you finally start to live for some one else
And then you find yourself
That’s when you find yourself

When we go through life
So sure of where we’re headin’
And we wind up lost and it’s
The best thing that could have happened
‘Cause sometimes when you lose your way it’s really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that’s when you find yourself

10 years in a harddrive

July 24, 2007

This morning a Western Digital 200GB hard drive suddenly failed and its PCB fried. Perhaps overheated?

Thus all gone. There goes my precious files including …
1. 30GBytes of MP3’s collected since 1998 (5000~6000 songs?)
2. Tonnes of Flash and video footage, high definition video samples
3. Mega collection of FLA’s, PSD templates, truetype fonts, XML, javascripts, vb, asp, c++ …
4. Portfolio of VIP’s occasions, parties, launching montage, gatherings
5. Huge library of application softwares for demanding design and programming tasks
6. 20GB of hardware drivers (of 3Dfx Voodoos, graphic accelerators, printers, sound cards, videos, capture cards, etc)
7. Games, isos
8. …. a lot!

DIMHOLT, EDORAS, FANGORN, GONDOR, HELM’s DEEP, ISENGARD (name of partitions) .. all history of the Lord of the Rings  gone

How to get them back eh? My precious….

 

Fly

I ‘ve dreamed to fly an aeroplane and that dream never come true.

With the latest release from Microsoft, Flight Simulator X can really push what a simulator could give to a wannabe like me. Here are some screenshot where I fly a 747 from KL, across South China Sea to Kuching. What an ‘experience’.

BIG

Big

Think for bigger things. Some to come and some have to be buried in the past. Sad and happiness … because now we are in the 2nd half of year 2007. What have I done? What have I archive? What have I found?

Aha big time, as the picture tell you that yesterday I bought Benq FP222W, a 22inch LCD display to fit my desktop at home. Actually I have sold the old desktop set to buy for this one, top-up a bit to upgrade the display which I could really enjoy HD gaming, video editing, multimedia to the next level. Every year must upgrade. Next is to seek for a more powerful workstation for my daily task needs.

Luckily I first find out a tiny dead pixel at time, and Richard (Comcable) willing to help me to exhange for a new one immediately. Actually in a case like this a retailer won’t be able to provide warranty for ‘a’ dead pixel but will only consider a replacement after you get at least 7 pixels. That was so close. Thanks Richard :D

What a day and I just spent "a few paragraphs" in less than 2 hours with Nani whom return back to KL yesterday after a less than a day trip back to Kch. Nevermindlah, janji saya punya sticker sudah bagi hahaha …

Today want to see Ninja at DEMAK. The ‘barang’ have come and yet to see how Ninja sprints as it was at the straights. Aiyo so tired. Want to cuti lah …
