Merdeka !!!

Today is Malaysia 50th national day.

Malaysian flag –> jalur gemilang

The 14 alternate red and white stripes of equal width represent the 13 states of Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Sabah, Sarawak, Selangor, Penang, Terengganu and the Federal Territory.

As depicted on the flag, red symbolises courage, while white indicates purity. The dark blue canton in the upper left quarter symbolises the unity of the Malaysian people. The crescent moon in the dark blue canton is the symbol of Islam, the official religion of Malaysia. The 14-pointed star stands for the unity of the 13 states and the Federal Government. The yellow of the crescent moon and star represents the royal colour of the Rulers.

I’m staying in Malaysia since I born… haha.. I’m proud to be a Malaysian.

My girlfriend and I spent the countdown in Jaya Jusco hypermarket. haha… Dunno why today Jusco extended their operation until 1am. We both went there and brought some breakfast… U cant imagine that the counters there all queued by customers….

Window XP Themes

Themes enable us to customize our Windows desktop and make it fun and interesting.
There are plenty of software available for download and install 3rd party themes or visual styles. Such as StyleXP, WindowsBlind and etc. But this kind of softwares are mostly shareware…

But dont worry, without paying a single sen, we can also download and use 3rd party themes or visual styles as much as we like … ^^

By default, Microsoft blocked the Uxtheme.dll file which used to control the theming engine. Therefore, we need to play some tricks to bypass this limitation.

1. We download modified uxtheme.dll file to replace the default file.

Kindly download at below link according to your window version.

2. Due to uxtheme.dll is a protected system file, therefore we cannot copy & paste. We need a tool called “Replacer” to safely replaces protected or in-use system files.

Photo Hunter ~ Two

This week theme is “Two”.

In computing industry, two = “duo” = “dual”.

For processor, we have Intel Core Duo and AMD Athlon64 x2.

Where both processor has 2 cores. Currently 2 cores processor is the mainstream in the market.

On memory side, we have dual channel memory. Dual channel requires 2 pieces of same speed of memory modules, where is has greater bandwidth compare to single channel memory and can improve ram speed thus improve overall PC performance.

Proton Persona

Finally, Proton launched their new car this year. ( I think to fight Perodua Viva… haha )

As u see the outlook, is just a sedan type of Proton Gen2 with slightly modification.

According to the above specs, i noticed that the acceleration from 0-100km/h is very funny. The base line type ( cheapest ) takes only 12secs, but the high line ( most expensive ) takes 14 secs… Dunno whether is because high line equipped with more accessories resulting heavier weight…

Prices:

Proton Persona 1.6AT H-Line Metallic – RM55,800
Proton Persona 1.6AT M-Line Metallic – RM52,800
Proton Persona 1.6MT M-Line Metallic – RM49,800
Proton Persona 1.6AT B-Line Metallic – RM48,449
Proton Persona 1.6AT B-Line Solid – RM47,999
Proton Persona 1.6MT B-Line Metallic – RM45,449
Proton Persona 1.6MT B-Line Solid – RM44,999

General speaking, the price of the car is cheaper compare to previous model such as Gen2 and Waja. How u think about this car? It is worth?

Photo Hunter ~ Funky

Ever watch a movie called Funky Monkey ?


The story is about a boy genius Michael Dean (Adkins) teams up with a super-talented chimpanzee and his caretaker (Modine) to take down an animal testing lab. In exchange the scientist gives the boy some pointers on the girl of his dreams.

This is quite a comedy movie. One thing i was impressed is that how come they can teach the chimpanzee so smart… Is the trainee talented or the trainer good in coaching?
