Happy New Year 2007 to all my visitors out there =D

Had a DMMT gathering yesterday at Marina’s Sakae Sushi organized by Charlene, people turn up includes Charlene, Stacey, Zhi Wei, Zhi Ming, Terry, Hafiz, Ron, Lynn, Lester Goh, Xiu Hui, Laily, Suqin, Li Xiang and I. It was rather coincidence as we saw Zhi Fan and his girlfriend too. This is the 2nd time I have been eating Sakae Sushi within this week. After dinner, it was quite hard to find a place to chill out as everywhere is so crowded due to it is a Friday night. So we end up at Suntec’s Starbucks which closes at 1am.

The first time was also a DMMT gathering at Wheelock’s Sakae Sushi organized by Hui Juan, people turn up includes Hui Juan, Jie Lin, Xiu Yu, Elaine, Wei Quan, Choon Sing, Alvin and I.

3 months ago, I won a little quiz that entitles me to get this WordPress Japan book for free. I wrote the WordPress Plugin, WP-PostRatings, which is featured in the book. The reason for the little quiz is due to there any many plugins featured in the book too. This will be good for my portfolio.

Thank You Naoko if you are reading this.

I am having steamboat with my family tonight (Christmas Eve).

Death Note 2: The Last Name
Caught Death Note 2: The Last Name at GV Marina last night, the show lasted quite long, about 140 minutes. From my point of view, I think it is just average, Death Note 1 is still better, but it is a must watch because it is the concluding part. There will be a spin-off film, featuring L as the main character and is currently in production to be released in Japan in 2007.

» MS Windows XP Home w/SP2 (OEM)

Damage: $1818

Night At The Museum
Caught Night At The Museum last night at GV Jurong Point, the show lasted about 2 hours and it is quite good. Humorous and unique storyline. It is only towards the middle of the show that is interesting, the introduction is boring.

Eragon
Quite a boring movie even with the fight scene which is suppose to be the climate of the whole movie. Hope the 2nd installation will be better. Lords Of The Rings is way better.

3D Mark 2006
Benchmarked my current computer using 3D Mark 2006 and it is obtain miserables score of 1466. Will be benchmarking LiXiang computer later.

EDIT: LiXiang’s computer 3D Mark 2006 score is 5224.

Flag Of Our Fathers
Caught Flag Of Our Fathers last week, it was quite a touching movie and alongside with it, it was quite gory. But overall it was not too bad of a show. It is more of a documentary than a action war movie like Black Hawk Down. And it is the first time I knew something called war bonds. LOL. Anyway, Black Hawk Down is still the best war movie I had seen.

Formatting Computers
I have been formatting 3 computers within the last 4 days.

I have formatted my own computer back to Windows XP due to the lag that Windows Vista gave to my computer/

My brother just got his laptop from the Starhub promotion and I uninstalled hell lots of softwares that HP came along with the laptop and installed all those softwares that he needed. Seriously I fucking hate branded computers because of those stupid softwares they bundled with the computer. I like my computer clean and not bloated with ANY softwares that I will not use.

The software I hate to installed most is Nero, because it will install so much shit (Nero Scout and Nero Search) into my computer even though I have only selected Nero Burning Rom in the custom installation.

How to remove Nero Scout:
Go to Start -> Run -> Type In:

regsvr32 /u “%commonprogramfiles%\Ahead\Lib\MediaLibraryNSE.dll”

Note: It is all in 1 line.

How to remove Nero Search:
Go to Start -> Run -> Type In:

Cmd.exe /c regsvr32 /u /s “%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\NeroSearch.dll” && regsvr32 /u /s “%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\NeroSearchBar.dll” && regsvr32 /u /s “%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\NeroSearchTray.dll”

Note: It is all in 1 line.

Last but least, the 3rd computer I have formatted is today when my mom crash her office computer but offing the electricity when Windows XP hung instead of holding on to the on/off button.

Look at what you can do with Microsoft Paint. This guy is good.

Caught Deja Vu today. It is a good show, my eyes was glued to the huge screen throughout the entire movie. The technology they used to trace the criminal is uber leet. If anyone can invent that, they can be richer than Bill Gates.

Found another expensive chocolate shop, located inside Spain 2 Dream, called Chocolate Factory. Bought a pack of sticks of chocolate, cost us $17.
