How To Clean Up Your Trashed Windows XP

The answer is simple..Reformat your hard disk..but before you do that, make sure you back-up your previous data first using whatever external device you have such as your thumbdrive, an external hard disk, burn it on a CDR or my favourite, transfer the files on your other partition. Most people that I know sometimes overlooked on their partition, it is sometime left under-utilized. Another important stuff is to make sure you have all the necessary driver. If you can format your computer and make it back to normal, I want to Congratulate you for saving hundreds of dollar if you were to send your computer at your local computer shop. Of course I only charge a minimal fee if you are kind enough to send it to my place..hehe..

Last weekend, after more than one year my Celeron 1.7GHz with 256MB RAM computer has been running on Windows XP Professional. The moment I've been expecting came, the Windows got corrupted and the blue death screen re-appear after hibernating for so long. I've used to have my Windows corrupted, I also lost count on how many times I have been installing Windows ever since Microsoft DOS was created. Heck, I bet most of the people nowadays doesn't even know how to install DOS. Well, it's a thing of the past.

Many people including myself would like to know, why does my Windows XP get slows down after using them for a couple of month. The simple answer is, if you stuff a lot of stuff in your hard drive, it will take time for you yourself to find it. Same goes for the PC itself. As for me, I love trying out, test and look at softwares that I can get my hands on. So, my 40GB hard disk is not enough and most of the time, only 1GB is available and that is for the sake of the virtual memory.

Over the time you are using Windows, it creates back-up data just in case something happen. That data can sometime gets duplicated. On my case, there are a couple of thousands of raw folder which contains virtually nothing. So, what its left is just the folder with no data. Imagine having to open a folder and find nothing. Same goes with your computer. I hate it when that happen. So after a day of tinkering back my Windows system back to normal, I now have a whistle clean PC. It's a nice feeling to have something that works perfectly.

I end my post here with the image below. I know some of my reader would really love to find one of these inside their mailbox.

Driving South with Mitsubishi Pajero V34 Diesel

When I first learned how to drive, I was so excited that when I got my license, I always wanted to be behind the wheel of a car. Things changed nowadays as driving became a habitual stuff that I do every single day. How I wish I had a driver while I just sit and lounge at the back seat in the KL City traffic jam.

Yesterday, I had to deliver a vehicle to one of my company's client. Supposedly the dealer shouldhave sent the car but my management is not willing to pay another RM300 for their cost on sending the car. It is much cheaper doing it ourselves. It is a pity how my top management make some decision, they are willing to sacrifice their own man-power just to save a few ringgit. I could have made a complete proposal using the time spent driving to Johor.

Here is the car and I'll come to the car review afterward:

This Mitsubishi Pajero is the last of its kind produce these days. The dealer said they are phasing out this vehicle for newer models. I kind of like the design and the look. Unfortunately, I have to give 2 stars out of 10 because of the bumpy ride and hard seat which made our discomfort 4 hours journey. Since it uses a diesel engine, the roaring sound of the engine is normal. I personally buy this vehicle if I wish to go on a 4 by 4 in the jungle. Driving around town is not so fashionable to me. On the other hand, for government servant, it is a formal and stylish ride especially going out on an outstation trip.

3 days off starting today. I'm going to format my PC. I'll write about it once my PC has a new fresh system. Merry Christmas..

The CEO Journey

Ever wondered what does it take to be a CEO of a successful company. Check it out by clicking here. Eventhough some of the CEO in today's world didn't really do well in their studying years but if you had the chance to study then why not give yourself a chance to further your education. If you've watched Donald Trump's The Apprentice, the winners are usually those who have higher education. Still it is up to you to decide your own path.

I'm Pissed

Today I am a bit pissed because of my boss kept on blaming me for my wrong doing I've done. I think everyone will be pissed when you are blamed by someone. The thing was about something that he ordered me to do. However as an employee I know that I will get nothing out of thing he told me to do except for my lousy paycheck. My boss will earn millions in revenue if the deal goes through while I just sit in this office and see those numbers on papers while my numbers in my own bank account depleted. I need to do something about it.

To calm myself down, I read my e-mails and found this article. Why All Those "Positive Thinking" Products Don't Work And How To Use The One Key To Skyrocket To Success! by Bryan Kumar. This article could shorten my success journey as I now have the advantage to boost further. I'm going to read this article oftenly.
