Journey of our life…to a greener earth

A mechanic worker Cheong working in a car workshop with another 2 colleague, one day he wanted to applied leave and submitted the application form to admin clerk and few days later…

Admin : Cheong, your leave application was rejected due to not enough staff

Cheong : Huh (sigh), when do we have enough staff here?

Boss : We reject because too many holidays for this month already

Cheong : Too many holidays cannot take leave? when to take leave then.. (X*&*%!)

About 2 months ago my mainboard was strike by lightning and can’t find the new mainboard for the old processor AMD Athlon 64 poor old thing. So now left on the casing is the DVD-RW and 3 hard disk, not worth for me to invest another new processor and mainboard as the desktop mainly for watching and download movies.

So I plan to buy 3 SATA/IDE to USB converter to hookup my 3 hard disk, but those converter need to use external power source to power the hard disk and if you have 3 set then you have to use 3 power point that will be mess with cables. Good if you still have the old AT power supply where you can turn on and off the power supply by the switch.

And I don’t have any old AT power supply so I Google and see if there is any guide on turning on ATX power supply without mainboard and viola found some guide on doing that and it was really really simple. Thanks to all the guide out there and it really helpful, below is how to do it.

To turn on an ATX power supply that isn’t connected to a motherboard use a wire or paper clip to short the green wire (PS_ON) to any one of the black wires (COM).

Also, be aware that some of the older Dells (older than Dimension 4300) did use proprietary powersupplies that are not wired the same as the ATX standard, even though they will look physically the same.

Last night was the Astro Battleground 2008 Final live from Euphoria by Ministry of Sound disco in Sunway Logoon Resort. The finalist was Ultimaxx, Twister Genius and ECX, my vote is for ECX as their performance was really awesome as their choreographers and move was superb. ECX team consist of 5 person, all the movement was move at the same time without any of the member was slow or fast.

This is the group that I admire most and every time they show us a lot of creativity on their moves with popping, locking, jazz, hip hop and krumping . Last night show was extreme as I really get excited on their moves, it really get you moving and can’t wait for the surprise moves. If I was there watching live, for sure I’ll scream like no mother business and it was a really good show.

It’s really hard for me to see any mistakes on the moves, you guys really catch all the audience – Marcus Tucker

Below is some of the previous video from the competition, enjoy the show guys.

Today morning, I went to Bukit Jalil for a jog and when I reach the car park I saw a guy around age 30+ wearing a white T-shirt and long pant. I recognize this guy face as I saw him 3 weeks ago at the same place breaking into people cars and steal things. At that time I did called police but I waited for around 1 hour and there is no sign of police coming over, then I just continue my jogging.

I felt a bit strange why the car alarm does not alert and that guy really can open a car door in second. He just pretend to be exercising at the car park and he just look for a car to break-in, then he stand beside the car pretend do something with his shoe or something and the car door just open like that. Mostly I saw is proton car that this guy break-in, so guys if you’re going to Bukit Jalil to jog please don’t leave any valuable things in your car even your house key.

Pass this message on to your friend or family members to alert them, I’ll try to get this guy photo if possible.

I found a useful household tips from star newspaper quite sometimes ago and my dad cut the article out paste it into the whiteboard. Since CNY is almost around the corner and we started to clean our house so this is some good tips that can be used.

Few people realize how easy it is to clean your home with vinegar. This inexpensive liquid can clean everything from car chrome to vegetables to pets.

- Use vinegar to help scale fish. Rub the fish with vinegar, wait five minutes, then scale. Keep wood cutting board clean by wiping with full strength vinegar regularly

- Vinegar is great to remove strong food smells. Rinse your hands in it (full strength). For smell in the air, whether from food, cigarettes or paint place dishes of cider vinegar around affected areas.

- To clean fresh vegetables, place dish with water, vinegar and salt.Bugs and soil float right off.

- To de-ant problem areas, spray full-strength vinegar around windows, doors, under appliances and anywhere you see ant trails.

- To keep your kitchen drain smelling sweet, put a cup down the drain weekly. Let sit for 30 minutes, then flush with cold water.

- To unclog a drain, pour in 1/2 cup of baking soda and add 1/2 cup vinegar. Wait until it finished fizzing, then pour a cup of boiling hot water down the drain.

Hope this tips can helps to clean your home during this CNY.

What is the latest trend in fast food industry? Have you ever heard of Pizza in a cone? I went to Pavillion shopping mall past 2 weekend to walkaround as there have many food that you can find in the food court area. I find this KonoPizza a bit interesting where you have your favorites pizza in cone and you can freely enjoy your pizza while you on the go or window shopping.

This is the latest fast food in town bringing you direct from Italy where you have your pizza on the go. When was your last time you have food on your cone? Mostly cone widely used for ice-cream and do you still remember during the old days my parents used to bring me to cinema at night. During those days is very popular to have Indian selling “Kacang Puteh” and will pack into a paper cone so you can enjoy it during the show.

This concept is very convenient for those who always on the go but sometimes you want to have some pizza and you have no time to dine there, so grab a cone of your favorites pizza while rushing for your busy schedule. If you have not tried it yet, head yourself to Pavillion Mall food court section just opposite the “Food Republic“.
