How to delete a hidden locked folder

Recently helping a client servicing a laptop, and my thumbdrive being infected by viruses and a folder being created, named "re". I tried many ways to delete the hidden folder but it keep on saying "Cannot delete file: Access is denied". Fortunately after google sometime, i am able to find a very useful program to clean up the mess for me, which is called "unlocker"! I'm using the portable unlocker and you can download it HERE. It is pretty easy to use and what you need to do is just open UnlockerPortable.exe and browse through the file or folder you need to delete and follow the instruction.

Sport

Recently scheduled myself to go for gym room every monday, wednesday and friday. Wondering why the radio stations keep on saying sport is good for health,and i just realized that after 1 hour of sport really make my day! The most important thing is it makes me felt better and healthier. However, good habits sometime are difficult to maintain, caused we are filled with a lot of excuses, no time, busy for work, no sporting facilities, got other more "important things" to do etc. Hence, we delay the sport schedule and ignore to train our fitness by having sport.

I heard about an interview suggesting that we should start to do sport early in the morning instead of evening, the reason laid behind was our body could be awaken and activated to face the challenge of the day.

Somehow i agreed some part of this point, however, i afraid after doing sport early in the morning i will need to have a nice sleep, then only could go back to work in the afternoon!

Something I Worried about Segamat

Suddenly something came out in my mind when i was in my small little hometown, named Segamat, situated somewhere in the north part of Johor. What made me worried about is the future and the development of my hometown. Many of my friends already went out of this small little hometown to other cities (such as KL, Selangor or urban area) or country (Singapore) to find a living, sadly i'm one of them. Maybe, it could be said that 9 out of 10 people went out of Segamat to find working and career apportunities in other cities.

Through my observation, in Segamat some of the mamak stall or cafe only serve one or two tables of customers, even during weekend! In contrast it is a big difference in KL/PJ where cafe or mamak stall are crowded with people and traffic around the mamak of cafe is horrible. The outflow of population is getting serious where the younger generation refused to stay in Segamat for career development. It could be one of the reason why the KL city is getting more and more crowded and the traffic are getting horrible day after day, regardless of how many flyover and roads being built and expanded, still the traffic jam in KL could not be solved.

Maybe some of my friends really love to stay in Segamat, however the lack the working opportunities or they cant find what they want here have prevented them to stay and work in Segamat.

Segamat is a place where i was born and have stayed here for more than 18 years. I love Segamat and my family especially the peaceful and slow pace of living lifestyle. I just wished that someday in the future, we all the 'segamatian' could contribute something to our little hometown to make it a better place.

Moving out of subang soon

Going to move out Subang soon after staying here for almost 4 years by the end of october 2009! Guess will miss out some of the food here like "zu yok fan", bakuteh, "za fan", roti canai...! :) Bye SS17!

秘密

最近正在阅读一本名为“秘密 - The Secret”的书，当中写到：“把物质财富仅仅当作个人财富的想法是非常愚蠢的。物质世界的东西都是生不带来死不带去的，要把它们永远留在手上是痴人说梦不切实际。一个认清生命本质的人是不可能热衷于囤积财富的，对他来说工作的目的只是为了有所建树而已。。。”

这确实终于令我茅塞顿开！长期的工作压力和埋怨顿时抛到九霄云外！当我把工作当作是帮忙别人解决他们的问题时，我就可以比较不计较那些麻烦的问题了。

要知道内在的财富才是永远的财富！不要为了工作而工作，往好的方面想想，最重要高兴就好!

我的桌子

当我还在念幼稚园时,
我用的桌子很大很大...
大得能够让我和其他小朋友在玩捉迷藏时,
把自己的整个身体藏在桌底下,
不让他们发现...

当我在念小学时,
我用的桌子还大,
大得能够让我把好吃的零食和甜甜的糖果藏在抽屉里,
不让我的老师发现...

当我上了中学,
我用的桌子和小学一样大,
但这一次所藏的东西不再是糖果,
也不再是零食
而是同学在上课时无聊时所传来的纸条,
有时还有一些暗恋者所写的情书,
趁我没发现时,
偷偷放进我的抽屉里,
不让我发现...

但当我考上了大学,
突然发现,
我用的桌子突然间变小了,
小得只足够让我放一本笔记本。
我在想
究竟是桌子变小了还是我长大了?

- written on Saturday, February 10th, 2007

Written the blog above during my Master study back to 2007 at friendster, now "migrate" it here. Finally finished my MBA and got my transcript, waiting for my graduation coming March 2010! When i looked back what i have gone through, it is really kinda suffering when pursuing my master part time while at the same time working. Determination always plays an important role to "push" you on doing assignments and get them done. The most suffering was the time when i need to outstation during weekday and rush for assignment in the hotel in order to submit it after coming back. Nevertheless, I thought it was an unique experience when flash back the scene!

Fortunately, i'm not that terrible as my lecturer said: "Either you got WHITE HAIR or becoming BOLD when you finished your MBA!" Thank god! :)

Good Friday

Friends coming over subang to go out for a drink later at 9.30pm. Not bad, at least still remembered us when he is boring, haha. How often do you find your friends for a meet out?? Always, friends are not forgotten when you need someone to talk to and hang out! Remember, call them up to let them know you care about them. :)

(Username + Password)s

Since first time using the computer back to 1996 until now, i just realised that i have a lot of passwords, i meant A LOT of passwords need to be remembered! From computer login, hotmail, yahoo, friendster,online banking account, jobstreet, university login, facebook + +. Headache actually, everytime i wonder, could we save it in our memory and located it properly when we need it?? Sometimes trial and error for a password is only allowed 3 times, and after that is mess where u need to contact this, confirm that, and finally only have your chance to reset the password and continue with your daily life!

(Written this after reset my password for online banking for Maybank at 1.05am, 17 Aug 2009!)

Education

Recently being asked by friends to try out teaching jobs, from secondary to college level. Kinda interested simply because the hourly paid is much more higher than a normal job. One hour of tuition could charge betweenRM35 - RM45 and lecturing could charge between RM60 - RM70. If taking up a home tuition as a part time with the rate of RM40/hour, 2 hours per day, 5 days a week, in a month could earn up extra RM1600! I guess is better than a fresh graduate paid and only need 40 working hours a month (or a week of working hour for a normal 9am-5pm job) ! Through my observation, i found out that parents in KL are willing to spend money on their children education. The demand of education is always there despite of economic crisis. Indeed, my lecturer told me that in recession, the college and university earn even more! Who knows maybe one day, i will opt to work in education line in the future as one of my career. :)

Birthday

My B'day gift! Thank you! I guess everyone love to have some presents during their b'day, me too! Thanks to my dear and my sister! I havent make a wish yet, but those who are closed to me know what is my wish! :)

Recently facing some crisis, but i'm sure i can make it through! As quoted by Marlene vos Savant,

" Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent. "

Yes! Strongly agreed with him! Giving up is the worst case so do not give up easily when you are in difficulties!

Busy Life.... is Great!

Wahh.. many things to do next 2 weeks! Mother and sister come to KL during my assignment submission (12 June), Exam on 17 June, friends asking for help, tonns of Cinema movies haven't watched... bla bla bla. This is what we called busy life~!!

Dreaming.

I guess i'm lucky enough, if compared with others people in the world. Having enough food to eat everyday, better chances for education, flexi working hours, good friends around me, supporting family members, a nice and sweet gf, can drive a car, and been travelled to England-France-Italy-Vatican City-Belgium-Germany-Netherlands-Switzerland-Luxembourg-Austria-China-US. Appreciated all these unique experiences and the gifts of life!

Google Chrome

First time using Google Chrome (a web browser), and it really gives me a real browsing experience! Lovin it~ Everything seem so fast to appear, within a blink of eyes, and you can even type in the words u wana search in the address bar for googling. Never seem to be so eager to introduce an application to friends, but this browser. Highly recommended for users who want to have a fast browsing application and try out something new.

Seem like google is trying to entrap all the internet users with everything from Google search engine, Gmail, Google Map, Blogspot, YouTube and ... try to Goolge yourself! Undoubtly it is gradually expanding their territories all over the world by using all these tiny high tech applications and uncover the creativities of human being.

Not trying to advertise for Google, in facts they really did a good job in making our life better and everytime it launches a new product it will give me a "WOW" kinda feeling!

$Money$

Well, I've been working few years since graduated back to 2005. Went through up and down of life and wondering are we working for money and do we really need to work for money? I agreed that money cant buy anything. However without money we cant live in this materialism society. In fact, we need money to survive because everything out there cost a little penny. From basic necessity such as food and water to "luxury products" such as cellphone and cosmetic. Unless your family still financially supporting your daily expenditure. Or else, you have to work out your own way for survival!

Back to the question, are we working for money? YES, if that is not what you love to do! And NO, if what you work is your passion and you love to do it regardless of how hard is it. Let me ask you one more simple question. What is your feeling when you get your salary? Happy? Excited? Apparently if you don't love what you do, no matter how big the amount, it's just like another figure to make your credit card payment, car loan and daily expenses where you will not be satisfied nor having any fulfilment of life, do you? Or maybe you will just spend it somewhere else, for a big treat or buy some-good-thing for yourself. However, somewhere or somehow there is not much satisfaction afterward.

Perhaps one day, I can shout out loud :" I'm not working for Money and NO longer need to work for Money!!"

The Good and Bad of Credit Card

Credit card is like a double edged sword, it can help you in the hard time while on the other hand turn you into deep trouble when it is not being used appropriately. I have encountered the situation i wanted to buy a highly desired product, fortunately i have a credit card to swipe and made the payment via monthly installment. In fact it is really helpful in this case to lease my burden at least i'm not urged to make the payment in one lump sum to get the product.

I did hear many of the people around me make their credit card payment only to the minimum payment, which i have never done that before (For god sake i'm able to clear the payment monthly). There is nothing wrong that you only make the minimum payment. However, it is strongly advised that people with credit card really know their statement's balance because the interest rate and the late penalty charges could really make you scratching your head and wonder why your balance is getting bigger and bigger even though you did make the effort to pay for it.

Probably you could read up the article on how to make your credit card to work for you to get a clearer picture on credit card usage.

Unlocking the power of Blog

Try to write my first ever own blog here. Have this idea back to few years ago but never really try to write it out. Personally like to read more than to write, and prefer to KISS - Keep It Short & Simple in blogging! Do expect more articles to come!
