Bread’s Girl

Written by on · Leave a Comment

I saw her again today, still the same cheerful girl, giving me a warm and sweet smile when I pass the bread that I’m buying over to her, she carefully pack it into the plastic bag and pass it back to me, quoting the ever sweet and familiar “Two Dollars”. I pass a ten dollar note to her and she gave me back the change, less then 2 minutes of meetup as usual, but it makes my day.

It has already been 3 weeks, I have been buying bread from her daily, what attracts me to the bread ? it’s this lady and the convenience of the store location. but also somethng else, which I cannot really relate to, it’s a special feeling.
I thought of cracking a joke everyday to make her smile and get to know her more, but with my limited speech capibility, the most I can manage is “Hi” “Thank You” “Bye Bye”. I hope I can manage more, but then everytime I saw her, My tongue is tight, Inside my mind I want to speak but no words come out.

Data Backup Importance

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Today a close friend of mine came to me and ask me to help him save his notebook, he say the notebook cannot boot up, he got very important data in his hard Disk, I switch on his PC and saw something very familiar, DISK BOOT FAILURE, Insert System Disk,

Told him that most likely his hard disk crash, need to send in to a data recovery center for a check, I told him to keep his finger crossed. He was stunned on the approximately price that I told him and the chances. I could feel that he was indeed very troubled. I told him to wait for my news in a couple of days.

In my course of work, I have always encountered clients who are near to winding up their company or clients who are close to tears when they encounter data loss.

Digital storage has become a very important part of our lives, we store our memories, our important data, like, family photos, videos, bank statements, financial report, contact number and address and lots of other data on our Hard Disk, No one can ever predict when your hard Disk wants to call it a day. So I have always encouraged my clients to do data backup, at least the bare minimum, once every month, you can choose the frequency, and amount yourself, no fixed rules over here, depends on how you value your data, and how often you update your data.

There is a lot of programs out there for data backup, and majourity of portable Hard Disk comes with backup software also. Have at least 2 copies of your data at any one time, this is what I often advise. Data recovery comes with a high price, A data recovery Job can range anthing from S$ 300.00 to 4K or more depending on how damaged is the Hard Disk. So spending some time doing backup is always better than visiting a Data Recovery Center.

Isn’t this the same as in taking care of your health is definitely much better than falling sick and visiting a Doctor. Well, I have been telling my clients this for years, but then, most of the will say correct, but then never do any backup. Like what people normally do, turn a deaf ear to Doctor’s advise and leave the medicine aside.

I hope that all of you really make an effort to do data backup.
It’s just a simple procedure and just do it for your own sake. Because Nobody knows when your Hard Disk will fail you.

Windows 7 Installation

Finally I got a chance to check out the Latest OS from Microsoft that is scheduled for release this October, WINDOWS 7.
Installation was a breeze and I finish the installation in less than 30Mins,I installed in onto my existing Windows Vista System, onto another partition. I would like to compare the difference between these 2 OS,
Installation was very easy, I did not even need to slot in any other CDs other than the Windows 7 installation CDs, It detected all my peripherals and installed all the correct drivers by itself, Kudos to my old Hardware… Ha ha ha… I did notice that the installtion is procedure is quite straight forward and hassle free, minimum questions asked. I have a few pictures and I will post them shortly.

Matchmaking sesson in the making

Written by on · Leave a Comment

One funny thing that happen last week,
My friend’s Mum called and say that she want to arrange a matchmaking
session for me, I was caught in surprise.

I feel really bad, that I have come to a stage whereby even My friend’s Mum have to
step in to help me find a mate. 🙂

I was really glad that she make this effort for me,
Back in my Mind, I was wondering, why is it that up till now,
I still could not find that someone in my life.

I really don’t have much demand in finding a girlfriend,
Maybe it’s my attitude, I have a feeling that most girls cannot tolerate my work habit.
I gave my Life to Computing, My life evolve around computer and nothing but computer,
is it time for a change, Maybe, as one get older, and infact all my friends already have their own family, whereas I’m still single. It’s high time that I do need to find that someone special to come into my life soon. But when will it happen, Ha ha, I won’t know. Let’s just hope that it happen soon.
