High temperature on laptop!

For the past month, my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1520) is experiencing high temperature.
Idle temperature of the lap top would be more than 60°C.
When gaming, high CPU/graphic application were used, the temperature easily passes through the 90°C mark and causes high lag issues and heat issues.

I then decided to clean up the lap top this week and start searching forums for instructions. Initial steps such as hinge cover removal, Hard drive removal, optical drive removal could be easily found on the booklet or in Dell website, but further instructions such as palm rest removal, removal of the LCD screen were not included in the booklet.

I have an idea on how to disassemble those parts due to the frequent servicing of my laptop 1 year ago, summoning the technicians to come over and over again. Every time they disassemble it, I will be there looking at it, absorbing their skills. Expecting that I might use them if I were to upgrade or maintain it by myself.

After some struggling on those uncharted steps, I managed to remove all the needed parts and I reached the heat sink. There, I was shocked. About 0.5cm of black dust wall was formed behind the vent! When I touch it, my fingers was stain coal black too. I am glad that I did not follow those instructions by other users stating that using high compression air to blow it out, as it was not possible if the dust was this thick.

After assembling everything, the lap top works fins and the idle temperature dropped to 45°C. It was a high improvement my laptop. I also noticed that the wind from the vent could actually be felt now, unlike when it was blocked. The strength of the fan seems to have doubled.

So to all with high temperature issues, it is best to contact your manufacturer to have it cleaned/fix as soon as possible as high temperature could pose danger to the user and the computer itself. It is best to send it back to the manufacturer if the warranty is still on or if you doesn't have the skills to disassemble/reassemble it.

Excessive consumption of pork kidney leads to low sperm count.

Chinese article 吃猪腰进补 竟吃没了精子 (Excessive consumption of pork kidney leads to no sperm )

This article said that a person excessively consume pork kidney as it was rumored to "enhance" the health for a person wanting impregnation.

A couple wanting to have a child took pork kidney every day every meal through various cooking, but after 2 years, no impregnation happens. Hence the couple got worried and go for a check up. His wife turns out fine, but the problem lies on the male. Report shows that the male has very low sperm count, 1/5 lesser compared to normal human. After medication, the male went back for a follow up and it is known that the level of sperm is back to normal.

According to experts, pork kidney has high level of heavy metals, which has the potential to harm a preson.

Reasoning?

In my life there are so much events which I had encountered. But this kind of event is the first.

Day 1:

1800 hours - I planned a DOTA session at 0700 hours with 3 other people at 6p.m. They all agreed initially.

2200 hours - Received sms from 2 person, saying that they have things coming up, hence unable to join us. I sms to notice the last person that those 2 people has backed out from the plan, but the plan still goes on.


Day 2:

0000 hours - Slept now.

0600 hours - Woke up early to avoid traffic congestion and parking congestion.

0700 hours - Reached the destination.

0830 hours - Received sms from the last guy which I am waiting, saying that he slept late. And he doesn't seem bothered by it.

0900 hours - Due to low morality and lack of sleep, headache surfaced and mood is greatly disrupted. The late comer which seemingly joking on his sms with the "hahahaha" saw my face and got angry.

1100 hours - I HAVE to say that I am WRONG to show that face to him.


Lesson learned. Never plan any events, especially with peoples who you shouldn't trust on their timing and their words.

Imagine that I am having a birthday party in a buffet restaurant coming up next month.
(Imagination starts)
After paid for reservation and costs.

Calls coming in:
"I got plans that I forgot, Can't attend! Bye!"
"I have report /assignments due!"
"I forgot the date!"
"I have a date with Him!"

The worse possible excuse I am imagining is:
"Ops! I overslept! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

People might find this funny, but when you are the one exposed to this event, you won't.

First they came...

I have been browsing history about WWII this past weeks.
Here I share a poem I encountered.
This poem is cited from Wikipedia:
First They came...


First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me."

attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

(µr$3Ð 1901

Today is the 19th of the month.
1901 is having a promotion, selling cheap hot dogs today.
Went to queue up for more than an hour.
Just before my turn, the stock has been finished.

I wonder is it my luck, it is a bad choice to send me to do this kinda things when it involves luck, as I have none. Didn't seems to have "lucky" things happening in my life though.

I got irritated when I found out that there are no more hot dogs for sale. I then rallied up some people, and drove straight to Mc Donalds.

Never falter to cheap promotions which saves you only about MYR2 (Less than 1 pound or 1 USD) when it involves waiting in line for more than an hour. I rather have my dignity.

1 thing I can't understand is that they did not set up a limit for a person to buy.
People in front of the line are buying in 20s. |=|_|(|<1|\|6 1901 peoples doesn't know to set up a limit.


Lesson: Choose dignity over cheap promotions.

Cockroach encountered? Just @#$% it!

Ever find yourself facing with the dark shiny insect in the bathroom?
I did, numerous times, LoL~

Here is a random post on how to face it, LoL~ Though it is limited to peoples which will not scream their heads off and run out at a random direction.

Most bathroom have a toilet brush, used to wash the toilet bowl. The brush could be used as a weapon. If is easier to use compared to a rolled papers. It is harder, you can precisely target it, and it might spare you the step where you need to handle the cockroach to dispose of it, LoL~ When you use the brush, there are times where the cockroach will get stuck between the brush. If it did happen, knock it off into the toilet bowl, and let it has its watery death

You might need a side weapon, any detachable shower would be good. It will be used to flush the cockroach out if it reaches an inaccessible area for the brush, LoL~


The major drawback is that this method is only limited on bathrooms. If it ran out of the room, you will have to use the conventional way, LoL~~~

Shit Happens

What will happen if you're not at home, while one of your stuffs got spoiled and need repair, while not consulting you?

Part of the item will go *poof*.



Lesson to all:
Don't act on your own if the stuffs you attempting to repair is not yours. If problem arises, you will be the one the owner blames.

By the way, I am the co-owner/maintainer of the stuff which was partly *poof*ed.

Damn you!! Sabotager!!

Laptop Disaster solved?

Disabled 60% of my msconfig startup file.
Scanned with spybot search and destroy,
Lavasoft Ad-aware Plus 30 days evaluation @#$%,
Mc Afee who can't detect anything,
and AVG free.

Now the startup seems fine, and the CPU process average is less than 10 while my firefox, windows live messenger and song is on.

Hope that this crap will not happen again.. Life is hard and there are tons of dateline in Monash.. Crappy stress. Couldn;t afford to have an extended downtime.

Failure of the century

Confirmed by the lecturer that I failed my subject and she insisted that there is nothing I could do but retake it..

无情。。。

I had wasted lots of time and money in the university life.. Wasted MYR10k on failure alone, not to account the expense of food and fuel.

Guess that I would have to heed my friend and paste up my failed subject in front of me to keep me reminded that I'm a failure and must work more to cover the distance..


Crappy 3 marks make me waste all my time and money, not to mention that I allocated most of my time studying for this subject..

Monash cafeteria.. My foot!

Monash cafeteria is one of the worse cafeterias that I had encountered in my life, even the cafeteria in my primary school could PWN it!

Monash cafeteria consists of several hawker stalls and a beverage seller. The hawkers are peoples came from random place which could afford the intense rent of the cafeteria, which is none of my business here.

One of the stall known as "Fresh Mixed Meals", it is one of the worse stall I had encounter in the cafeteria.

For a fried rice, a chicken (not drumstick), and 2 eggs, they charged me for MYR7.50. Damn that hawker, now that I had leant my lesson, I would spread the words of their @#$% pricing.

That guy stated to me that the chicken worth MYR3 when I am paying, normally a piece of chicken would costs at maximum, MYR2.

And their eggs, each of them costs MYR1! Just the eggs and chicken costs MYR5, means the crap salt spamming fried rice costs a freakin' MYR 2.50!

I had learned my lesson, and hope that other Monash students would read what had happened to me and avoid that crap store. Guess that in the new semester, they would target new intakes and rob their wallet daylight.

Another thing I noticed in Monash is that there are lots of place in Monash are cheaply constructed. Cracks could be noticed everywhere, and this buildings had only been a year. The air conditioner starts leaking randomly and while I was annoyingly eating my over-priced meal, the air conditioner directly on top of me leaked, and the water gets into my food (not to mention that it dripped on my head too).

Cracked walls

Maybe these are the sign that someone had been either cutting costs or somehow the money vanished in some place.

Multiple Traffic red light!! 21 May 2008

Today is a very stressful day, and I had to rush for lots of assignments.
Putting this aside, today while driving home, I encounter a junction which lots of people ignores the red light. There are about 10 cars passing through the red light from a each junction.

This car is from my side of the lane, the driver ignores the light and just go through when he notice that there is no car.
This white car tried to imitate the previous car, unfortunately the yellow car in front are having its turn to move, the ignorance of the white car causing both car to stuck in the middle of the lane for a while.
The white car passed and the cars on the opposite lane are having their turn.
Now is the turn for my lane, and the light is green, the cars from the opposite lane still want to take their chance, and continue to proceed, ignoring the cars on my side of the lane.



These drivers are kind of typical ignorant Malaysian drivers, where rules are ignored and "panda" could be bribed, enhancing the risk of traffic accident and increasing the death toll.

Things I notice today (27 Apr 08)

The world never stop moving. Good things and bad things happens all the time, despite the severity of it.

Today I noticed a reckless driver while I am having dinner on the street. That guy places his granddaughter (I kinda know that guy) on his lap while he was driving, allowing access for her to the dash board, the wipers, signals, wiper fluid all under her possession, and this happens when his still driving. then that guy parked his car without showing the signal, almost causing an accident, but he does not care about it, after he stopped his car, he still allows her to click everywhere.. Darn that guy, for god's sake, discipline yourself AND your daughter. It won't be fun if something happens.

Then I notice someone that are sweeping the floor at the hawker store beside the one I was at. That sweeper does not sweep the dry leaves to this side of the hawker store, or to the drain., but to a plastic bag prepared. Though this type of act are unnoticeable, it got into me. Its still a good deed, though it was light and unnoticeable.

That concludes of what I thought today, and now I had to face the reality and finish my genetics report! Damn stress!!!

Shit faces in community

When people live in a society/community, they will meet others and get known to peoples.

There is a chance where peoples would met a black sheep, which will constantly ruin your life or at the very least, causing you to have a bad day.

For example, when A was had trouble, and wanted to know the opinion of other people to known about the situation (such as polling), that shit face would notice about that poll and convince others to sabotage the poll, making the poll creator felt like shit.

After the poll creator found out who is the shit face, the shit face proudly say in front of that guy, stating that annoying him is his goal, not knowing that he is one of the (main) causes that the poll creator to panic and seek for public opinion.

Message of the day: If you had been/being/planning to be a shit face, try putting your shoes on the person that you had been "shit-faced" and think of what they will think, especially that you are causing the panic attack in the first place.

Results out.. Is killing myself an option?

The result of the course I had taken on last summer is out. It came out a day before the designated date. And I just got a pass for it, though it was an elective.

Felt relieved but also felt like shit at the same time. Felt relieved that I was able to pass this @#$% memorizing unit but felt like shit if I were to compare to other student and my sister, where they manage to get good results for it.

And got double lectured by my parents, each continuing to lecture like 接力赛.

Aww man.. I really had play too much on the summer time.

Wish that I would spend more time on my studies from now on..
I wonder how many time I had that thought and failed to achieve it.

I am with the dark emotion, always.. everytime...

Humans are very complicated beings, where they would do a lot of things, either good or bad, with consideration or without it. there are times where people felt so enraged or annoyed to the extent where they would do things rashly without consideration, which may hurt and disappoint others.

Often things that had been done rashly under the control of rage would hurt others more than you think, and would affect the way things others would see and think for a period of time.

Think that I should apologize on my previous (deleted) post I made without thinking much, where I was not thinking well and angered when I written about it.

People would not think like this but I am actually a very dark minded. Every bad things did to me, I would remember for a very very long time, even if the case is solved or ignored. I could still remember the things someone did to me at school at the age of 14. The culprit is stupid enough to reveal himself when i try to borrow a dollar from him, he did not hear it clear and instead replied:" I did not throw away your bottle!" Heck with him!

Note to bloggers: If you got enraged by something, blogging is not the way to say what is in your heart's content. Keeping it in your heart may be a better way, since blf dlfow mvevi pmld dsl ziv gsv ivzwvih.

As conclusion, think what you should reveal in your blog and consider the consequences before you write.

Suffocation

2008 February 2, Saturday 7a.m.
Location: Classified

While I suddently woke up, I found that my throat are filled with some acid substances. Think that it attacked my throat and makes my throat block the airway. I quickly turn over and try to breath. I try to swallow my saliva to try to loosen up my throat, but I have minimal saliva that time since I am kinda dehydrated. In the process it felt like suffocating, which is a sensation no one would want to feel it.

After some effort, my throat seems to loosen up and I could resume my breathing smoothly, but my throat was still had some acid sensation on it, and the feeling of acid burnt is still there.

After all this, I assume that my body may have "burped" in the middle of the sleep for some reason and the gastric juice hay had followed the "air" and ended up on my throat.

Suffocation is the worst thing which makes this the nearest thing I got to death.

Things done on 25 January

Once again gone out with Adrian and Joe.

Reached at campus at 8, WAITED to 9 only Joe came, and he still needs to find his lecturer to do something.

Then I drive us to Sunway Pyramid. After buying some breads, we walked like @#$% bored till 11.00 only wanna go into movie.

After handing the tickets to the @#$% ticket receiver, she says says no outside food allowed in. @#$% her!We decided to stuff our breads into our pocket and walk through.
After Stuffing our stuffs, I can't find the ticket!!
We decided to go the the same corner where we stuffed our foods into our pockets to take them out and check our pockets.
Finally only I found that I had instinctively took the tickets and place it to my pocket.

Later after 2 shows, we all head to Shanq's uncle's cafe to have a sip.
Things are going right, till later, while fetching Joe and Adrian to the station, the Fartin' Joe farted in my car. One of the thing I hate in my life is that people are not respectfully of my items.
Pissed me off.

Lesson learned:
1. Don't try to sneak outside food into cinema unless you have a backpack or freakin big pockets.
2. Put a list of what people should not do in your car. Especially things that would piss you off till you could not concentrate on driving and will kill all of them. Including the culprit and the innocent inhalers (In this case, death before crash, suffocate till death.)
3. Freakin scold them shit when they are suggesting shits.

I've got robbed!! Virtual Reality Rob!!

Heck! I had joined a fraud website which later the owner somehow got into my paypal account and transfer all my $ to his/her account. Be advised everyone! Use separate password for accounts with relation to money! Be warned and beware!!

Car accident!! Not me!!!

This afternoon (at around 1.15pm) I saw a police car sped to the highway outlet, which I am heading towards. Then he sped through and horn his siren at the school area, since it is congested for people to make way for him. Then he ran out of my sight. Then I drove to a junction, weirdly it is ultimately congested. Seconds later I saw the police parking a few meters from the junction, which a car accident has occurred. On my assumption the car on the coming to ward lane turned too fast before the car from the going forward lane had passed, as I evaluated the damage on the car and the screech marks on the road. Seems that no one is hurt though.


Drivers now adays are becoming less patient and more raged! Kinda includes my though, especially when I am stressed out or angry.

For People who kinda Have Problem in McD videogame

On the past post I had posted the Mc D game from other places, and there are peoples who can't quite survive on it, so now I will write a guide on its survival based on my playing "style", LoL.

1. Have at least 2 soy field, + GM crop
2. Have at least 8 cows at a same time
3. In the soy add hormones
4. Don't burn sick cows, let the consumers eat it
5. Marketing division n food pyramid and Mc D for 3rd world
6. Corrupt health officer
7. Ignore angry workers
8. Remember that the fertility of the fields will decrease as time goes, but it will remain constant if there is only 1 cow at a field
9. Only bulldozer forest when the environmentalist have a smiley face on them.

This is written by me based on my own experience.
