Sungeiwang and Summit in a Day..
Thursday, June 14, 2007

        I met up with Joyce and her Seremban friends at Sungeiwang today. Coincidentally, I was supposed to swing by my office to do some stuff, so everything was rather convenient.



Lunch at KimGary



I have bug eyes

        When I came home, Yenli called me to tell me that she had bought tickets for the 9.40p.m. screening of Ocean's 13 at the Summit. Since it was practically in my backyard, I hopped into the Kancil and trundled down to the cinema.



I don't know why we're hunching



After the show



Awww..Chui San and Kwo Kuang



Lynn and I

        You may have noticed something weird about the photos. Yes, by request, I have changed Yenli pictures into Keroppi, since she was disinclined to to appear in the photo.

        Along those lines, if you want to see the real photo, you'll have to get a password. Haha..



Key in the password to see pic

        Fun times.

6 for One
Monday, June 11, 2007

        The ALFA ministry had been practicing hard for this auspicious event, and, on the 9th of June, 2007, it all paid off. The evening consisted of 6 different plays, all conveying the message of Salvation, performed by the youth of SJ AOG. One could see the effort put into the occcasion, what with the elaborate backdrops and smoke machines, which lent an air of professionalism to the whole event.



This was where the early birds were waiting



I arrived in church to find that the entrance hall was bathed in UV light. (my teeth aren't white enough to glow, sad to say).



The lighting was quite ingenious



The place was filed up by the time I got there



Due to my camera wonkiness, this stage effect looks quite cool



Like professional like that..



..can challenge Actor's Studio..haha..



Shu Ling and Kim Mi

        A job very well done indeed! Kudos to all the people behind 6 for One!

Interactors in a Cave..
Saturday, June 09, 2007

        I recently installed a new scanner/printer at home, so I took the opportunity to scan some of my old pictures that I took using an analogue camera (yes, those days, people used film). I was halfway through my collection when I stumbled across an interesting album.

        On the 11th of January, 2003 (thats over 4 years ago), the Interact Club took part in a caving/charity event organised by the Rotary Club of Subang. This was a joint event, and, together with the Interactors of SMKDJ, and the orphans of the Sunbeams home, we boarded a schoolbus which brought us to Gua Tempurung.

        Now, since it was over 4 years ago,the exact events that occured is rather hazy (I blame my poor memory and a diet of outside food) However, during those days, I normally wrote reports* on this sort of thing, and, thankfully, I still keep those reports. Here's a rough outline of what happened (with photos!);



The gang after the caving (food is of utmost importance)



The DJ-ians (see a familiar face? =)



Some of the SJ-ians

        During the night, after dinner, the two schools were asked to put up a performance.



Eu Bing, on his expensive guitar.



This is where my (cheap) Pyramid guitar made her debut



A group photo with the orphans

        After the whole affair, we all met up in Julie's room, where Kosheila introduced us to the game of "Mafia". (don't ask me, I STILL can't remember how it went)



        Interact SJ Committee, 2002/2003



   We made a lot of noise

        The next morning saw us helping out at the orphanage.



Yes, the white shirts are free gifts



And, finally, before we left for home, we took a photo at the Hyatt.

        Its photos like these that bring back oh so many memories of simpler times. I wonder where everyone has gone to?

        Interactors, a get-together, someday? =)

Knight Rider..
Wednesday, June 06, 2007

    Snapped during a recent trip to USJ..



Amazing..

    The driver must have been;

    A.) Extremely skillful..
    B.) Extremely high or shot up..

    ..to have managed to achieve this.

     Thats rather interesting, I must say.

Of Small Burgers and Increasing Appetites
Monday, June 04, 2007

        I was just having a MSN conversation the other day with Joyce, about food, when we came across this topic;



        It was then that I thought to myself. Hmm.. Kinda true..






        Maybe my appetite just increased, and I need to eat more these days.

        Or perhaps chicken around the world have shrunk.

       God only knows.

How To Reformat a Computer and Install Windows.. The Soon Seng Way
Saturday, June 02, 2007

 

        Recently, Joyce asked for some assistance in reformatting a computer, and reinstalling Windows XP. I sent over a file with photos I took, detailing the steps to accomplish the task. Since I already have the photos, I thought I'd just post them up. There are many ways to do the same thing (reformat and reinstall), but I thought this would be an easier way to do it.

*disclaimer: Soon Seng shall not bear any responsibility for any complications that may arise through this tutorial. This includes software and hardware malfunction, and possible coffee addiction. If uncertain, please conduct this exercise in the presence of an experienced person*

Warning! For non-coffee-lovers, please ignore all references to coffee and coffee drinking contained within the article. Thank you!

Soon Seng's Guide to Reformatting Your Computer and Reinstalling Windows

Checklist

First, make sure you have done the following;
1. Backed up your irreplaceable files.
2. Prepared the operating system CD (in this case, Windows XP) and the relevant drivers needed to run the computer.
3. Have at hand a sachet of Nescafe 3-in-1 Coffee, Regular (Strong will do as well)



Make sure you have coffee


Instructions

1. Insert the Windows cd into the cd tray (not the diskette drive, that'll just ruin your cd), and restart the computer.
2. During boot-up, press and hold the F8 key (its between the F7 and F9 key)
3. A list of sources that you can boot-up from will appear. Use the arrow keys to select the CD boot-up option.
4. You will be prompted to press any key to boot from CD. Press any key.
5. The blue screen will appear, and the drivers will load. This will take some time, so just wait until the process is complete.



You will see this screen (without my face and blog address at the bottom)

6. While loading the drivers, you may boil a kettle of water.
7. After the drivers have loaded, you will then see the Window's Setup screen. Press Enter to continue.



Press Enter!

8. It will bring you to a License Agreement document. Press F8 to continue. (if you don't agree with the License Agreement, press Esc, and consider using Linux)
9. Right after that, you'll come to this page. Since you'll want to install a fresh copy of Windows, press Esc.



Press Esc!

10. The setup will then ask you to choose which partition to install into. Normally, this will be the C: drive, so, select C: and press Enter.



Select C: and press Enter

11. This drive would normally already have Windows installed on it, thus, Setup will ask if you want to overwrite the existing Windows. Press C to continue.



Press C!

12. The Setup will now bring you to the format options page. Choose "Format the partition using the NTFS file system" option.



Choose the highlighted part..

        And voila! Thats it! Just follow the instructions, and fill in the configuration forms as prompted!

13. Pour the hot water boiled earlier into a cup, and mix with the contents of the coffee sachet. Wait till slightly cool, then enjoy.



To prevent injury, wait until the temperature goes below boiling point before consumption

Look out for more feature articles!
