Windows 7 Ultimate, Postponed to 2011
I think this new OS is no more a secret since a number of people already test on this new OS and leaked out the information to public.
I think there will be a lot of screenshot related to Windows 7 if you search from Google, but is the screenshot true or false, don't ask me (since there are a lot of skinning and visual style third party software available, is not weird if you saw something different on your so called Windows 7). But we better wait for the final version ourself and test it out!
However, I found out a website which provide the screenshot I think can be trusted. Go take a look: Windows 7 Screenshot
Sadly, when I read on the forum today, Microsoft says that Windows 7 isn't headed for 2009 but 2011. Want to know more? Click here. I lazy to write out the content here.
What I wondering here is weather Windows 7 will be able to enhance a new features like Windows Vista or even cooler than that. And also the GUI design which I most curious. Well, we only to know about this once the final version release.

Changing OEM Branding Logo for Windows Vista Part 2
Did you ever wonder how famous Laptop/PC manufacturers such as Sony, Dell, Asus, HP, ACER and others put their logo into your computer?
If you notice the screenshot above, I already added my own Logo into my Windows Vista Welcome Center.
So here the simple guide:
- Go to "C:\Windows\System32\oobe" Folder. If your computer is DELL, you will see the file "DELL_BAR.png". If the file not exist, you can create your own banner.
- First, go to "C:\Windows\System32\oobe\INFO".
- Right Click on "oobe.xml" file to uncheck the "Read Only" properties(If any)
- Open "oobe.xml" using NOTEPAD as administrator and add/edit the path as below.
Take note that Brand.jpg is the file name that you create. It can be any name.
Enjoy!

Dearest Kanojo...
During the way back home, I drove at maximum speed to hope that she can lay on bed for rest but suddenly, she vomit a lot in the car. Fortunately my car got kept some spare plastic bag for emergency purpose. I started to worry much and don't know what to do. I'm not sure is she's getting food poisoning because we're eating the same meal yesterday dinner.
Finally we reach home and she told me that she feeling much more better after vomit. Haaa, feeling relief now but not longer after the word, she started to vomit again. OMG! I suggest Kanojo to consult doctor but she say if tomorrow still the same only go for clinic. Then I agreed, accompany her awhile then I left back to office to continue my job.
Around 11am, Kanojo SMS me that she vomit again after I left and 2.39pm, she told me that she get food poisoning. I called Kanojo and her voice sound weak. I very worried that time and decided to skip the concall agenda which is suppose to held on 8pm. I just cant wait anymore until 8pm because she might need me to stay beside her.
Around 4.38pm, she called me with weak and pain voice hoping me to get back home immediately. However, I was doing some task that time which about to finish and without hesitate, straight away I pack my bag and rush back to see her. She laying on the bed without energy left and I advise kanojo to consult doctor for medical. She agreed to look for doctor and we apart after kanojo finish her Milo which manage to gain back some energy.
Damn Pasar Malam!!! Along the street was damn crowded and jammed. We unable to find parking in the situation like this so I straight away sent her back hometown. At least her family can look after her while I'm working. I also feel more relief if Kanojo stay with her family. We sent her to clinic, getting the medicine and back home. Looking at her I feel sad and pain. Raining make me more sad at that moment. Once she finish her cereal drink, she went back to bed for rest. After accompany her for minutes, is time for me to go back KL.
Not much I can do now. Hope kanojo can recover as soon as possible and I will always praying for her. She will be fine soon and we can continue to shopping again. I know I'm not a good kareshi however I will do my best to protect her away from harm.
Once she recover, the first thing I need to do is to bring kanojo to buy shoe. Thus, please get well soon.

.NET Workshop followed by Greenbox and TGV "Game Plan"
Forget it. Before I write anything related to the course. I would like to give myself a simple questionnaire.
- Do you learn Java before? - No
- Are you from .NET background? - Yes
- How much do you gain .NET knowledge during college time? - 65%
- Are you familiar with Java Syntax and coding? - Not at all
- Do you gain anything from the workshop? - No
- How much knowledge do u absorb from the workshop? - 0%
As you notice on the questionnaire, I do not learn Java before and that's why, this course make me real headache and blur studying on the unknown Syntax and code. Unfortunately, this course do not have practical but full on theory with total 7 Chapters. Haiz, I really give up. Spare me!!! At the end, I learn nothing but a headache.
The workshop ended approximately on 5pm, feel a little bit down and regret attending this course as I learn nothing from the course make me sad. To cheer up, we straight away drive to Cheras Selatan Jusco, Green Box to sing away the sorrow. But we are not in a good condition, most of the song selected can't be completed perfectly. Bad sound and tone come out from us repeatedly until 3 hours has finally passed.
Then we ahead for our dinner at "Food and Tea" cafe which serve Hong Kong specialty dish. After the dinner, the time finally arrive and the show is almost on the screen. We entered TGV cinema for "Game Plan" on 9.10pm. Damn! This movie is just damn funny and it is real comedy. We laughed from the show started to the show ended, but of course there are some sad scene in the middle of the show. However, this movie really bring back my mood. Well, we enjoyed a lot on that day and is recommended for those who haven't watch "Game Plan". Sure it will make you laugh to death.
And that's how we spent the day.

Dragon Quest IX release on Nintendo DS
But sadly, recently Square Enix held a press conference in Tokyo to announce the next entry in the main Dragon Quest series. In a surprise move, Japan's most popular series will continue not on the PS3 or the Wii, as many had expected. Instead, Square Enix will be bringing the game to the DS. Haiz...
Because of this, there's no way for me to play on this Dragon Quest IX unless I brought Nintendo DS platform myself. Well, this is something we can't avoid now. Just hope that in future, Square Enix will consider to remake a better version in PS2 or PS3.

Disappointed Ending...
Finally Transformers Armada reach to its end. With overall 52 Episode, I chase with every excitement and joy but till the end its only give me a deep disappointed ending.
Well, why do I say that?
- The time I brought this DVD is really make me excitement on the new story line but holy crap! is only a remake version of generation 1 that enhance it to look better and complete.
- Episode 1-35 make me really bored to hell which they only capturing all the stupid minicon and less of war between Decepticon and Autobots.
- Start from 35 onward, it started to make me feel better where Autobots head back to Cybertron to face Decepticon for war.
- Unicorn!!! The big and real enemy to Transformers finally appears. Damn, it make my blood boil to chase to the end.
- Episode 40-51, you can see a lot of unique plot if compare to previous Transformers Generation 1 & 2 where Optimus Prime and Galvatron are actually become ally to destroy Unicorn. Unbelievable... they suppose to be cursed enemy... but I still saw an unique story on here.
- Starscream!!! Haha. One of my favourite Transformers is actually cooperated with Autobot to obliterate Galvatron and become friends of human (huh, ego Starscream finally become soft and friendly but not last longer as expected). He still betrayed Autobots and friends!!! What a pity Starscream...
- Starscream also died in battlefield because of persuade Galvatron to cooperate with Optimus Prime to Eliminate Unicorn.
- Curse You!!! After deactivate Unicorn, Galvatron still insist to fight Optimus Prime because there will be only one leader in the Universe. At the end, Galvatron get suck into Unicorn hole (Is Galvatron death?) and mysteriously disappears from the universe. That's mean Unicorn has not been destroy!!!
- No Climax during the battle with Unicorn.A lot of chit chat that annoying.
- Haiz, is just a disappointed ending and my face turn flat immediately. Somemore before ending song, Unicorn suddenly appear again at nowhere and THE END. That's all. What the crap is this???
Maybe the story will continue on the next chapter of Transformers Superlink/Energon. Hope it will not disappoint me again...
5/10 rated for Transformers Armada.

Constructicon - Devastator
Frankly speaking, for sure I won't buy original version for this model because it worth RM600 in the market which mean each for RM100 (price was consulted by toy shop owner at Sungai Wang, 6th floor). Crazy!!! Definately too expensive for this. Moreover, either pirated or original, you won't see any different between them. 100% copied as original except the plastic quality is a bit awful. That why I accidentally broke Long Houl head apart. Sad~
Robot Mode: Long Houl, Hook, Scrapper, MixMaster, Bone Crusher, Scavenger
Vehicle Mode:

Hail Happy New Year!!! 31-12-2007 @ The Curve
But for this blog, what I would like to share out is how I celebrate my New Year on 31th December 2007. It such a memorable day as I have spent my precious 11 hours at The Curve!!!
3.00 pm: Reach The Curve and parked my car on The Street, Level B2, B7. I have take a snapshoot as I worried that I will forget where my car located.
Then decided to take a walk around The Curve as this is the 1st visit here. Here's some of the photo that we take during the time.
4.00 pm: We entered Baskin Robbin and enjoyed 31% discount for all the selected ice cream. So we ended selected Caramel Ribbon + Twinberry Cheesecake ice cream and it is damn delicious. From my opinion, Baskin Robbin is more worth, cheaper and nicer compare to Haagen Dazs. So go for it!!!
4.45 pm: To kill some time, then we continue our exploration and we entered Cineleisure. Guess what I saw inside Cineleisure? Check it out, is Optimus Prime!!!
5.30 pm: Started to hungry~~ and we stopped by at Kenny Rogers to recover our HP. We just ordered quarter of original chicken + 3 side dish by set.
6.45 pm: Started to feel tired and bored. Hence, we take some photo to kill some boredom.
8.00 pm: It's 8pm now and still have 4hours to go to reach 12am. If you notice the photo above, The Curve organized a SNOW party to everyone (actually it's only a white bubble generated by machine which act like snow falling down on top of the bridge). But still, we enjoyed alot there and make my head full of snow.
8.30 pm: While waiting for friends gathering, it's Starbuck break!!!. We ordered Green Tea Latte and also Java Chip Frappucino Blended Cream. Unfortunately, one the coffee we ordered was not as expected as last time I ordered in The Submit USJ. The differences is Green Tea Latte (not so nice) and Green Tea Latte Frappucino Blended Cream (more nicer). Haiz...
10.30 pm: Our friend not yet arrive. The street become more and more crowded as time pass by. Feeling hard to breath and hard to walk. Terrible...
11.45 pm: Finally meet with our friends here and stay put until 12am!!!
12.00 am: 3, 2, 1. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Fireworks display on 1 Utama 1st but is such a damn lousy fireworks which only display for a few minutes. Kind of disappointed. Followed by fireworks display by The Curve. Hmmm, this is more interesting compare to 1 Utama and they continue to launch the fireworks missiles for at least 10 minutes for sure.
12.45 am: It's early morning now and it's time to say good bye~ So we back to parking lot and take our car. Arghhh!!! Jamming, jamming and jamming!!! Blasphemy!!! Because of this, we ended up stuck inside parking lot until 2.00 am!!!
2.45 am: God bless you. Mum, i reach home (carried full of tiredness).
Is good to celebrate New Year once but not twice. It's like sweet dream turn out to be nightmare~~~.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone who read my blog. Thanks
