Rig cleaning – last time for 2009 =D

Yeah, 2009 is about to end in just about nine hours! This time though, I cleaned with a completely different method this time.

Instead of washing the whole fan by drowning it in water, I used a cotton buds, tissues and also lot of cups of water. Trust me, you’ll be needing that 8D

Firstly, some updates 8D

Removed all ODD bay plates.

Well for this time I cleaned the rig without taking much pictures. Much likely because I’m already having a headache about the big cleaning thing.

I actually stripped the HAF 932 to bare metal

Doesn’t look pretty at all =|

When I looked back into the casing… Dusts… raping over my components.

First off is the my Sunbeam CCF. Clogged!

Places least expected to be dominated with dusts – raped!

Even the little air vents for the HDD at the side panel is with dust!

Removed my HAF 932’s top I/O panel too.

Wires – like tentacles!

Well even the fans are dominated! Cleaning wasn’t easy this time.

Prepared as how I said just now – a cup of water (often renewed), tissues, lots of cotton buds and also a lot of patience and effort.

I took this during my short break =|

Wiping unreachable yet big pile of dusts with cotton bud was easy. The reason for the cup of water is to dip one side of the bud in the water and use the tissue to absorb excess water, then wipe the dust and finally dipping the side of the bud with dust into the water again and shaking the dust off.

Eventually you’ll use a lot of buds since the cotton just go soft, and swim along with the dust =|

Another picture taken during my break =|

Okay, enough with the random photos. To start off… I sleeved all the small little wires connecting to the top I/O panel.

And I can’t believe that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 can take such good images with clearly visible DoF.

Sleeved!

As for my CCF…

First wipe. Imagine how I wanna clean the whole thing.

Please don’t ask how those mosquitoes and flies came in.

Random picture I took while I was cleaning the CCF.

I just can’t get enough of the macro zoom mode.

By cleaning using this method, it’s really clean but the time taken is really long. Well since I have nothing to do, why not? 8D

I just love this picture.

Well after taking REALLY long to finish up this cleaning process, it’s finished and my casing is now still dirtier when I first bought it! 8D But cleaner than most of the time when I started using it.

Epic cleaning process – Done.

Merry Christmas!

It’s Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas!

Here’s a wallpaper I made, as always, for the festival itself =D

No watermark, no resizing specially on this one!

Merry Christmas!

December… Burrrr…

Yeah, haven’t updated for some time now. Well first off I visited a shed. Not just any shed, a shed that makes biscuits from dough.

Might look very old, but never judge by its look!

Inside… Is actually a very small place. Well I’ll get on with the procedure of making the biscuits.

Firstly mixed something and roll it into a round shape.

Then rolled it flat.

Then some little things (I don’t know what’s it called) was added on top of the dough.

I managed to take a lot of photos from here, thanks to Ooi Jin for letting me to use his DSLR and also my mom’s uncle for letting me take so many photos =D Well, as we proceed…

Furnace was cooled down by sprinkling water in it.

The dough was then attached on the wall of the furnace.

Then covered the furnace with holes. Wait until the biscuits are roasted to this color.

The biscuits were then removed from the furnace. And now you may enjoy you meal.

Some random photo to make you hungry XD

Well it’s edible already. After that…

Biscuits were packed and sent out for sale!

Well as something interesting, it is actually the same biscuits that Yee Hup sells. I never knew =D

My grandpa

Well… It was really unexpected. You left us all of a sudden. I honor all the things you did for all of us. I believe that you are now with grandma, she had been alone for quite some time now. Sorry not being close to you all these while, but I did enjoy watching badminton with you. It was indeed thrilling. May you rest in peace.

Rest in peace, grandpa.

Well?

Holidays are here! So what do we do now? I fixed my aunt’s  and a friend’s computer. My friend got the Win7 so I think he’s enjoying it now =D

A bird came in the house.

  A baby bird. My mom said it came in for the bananas.

Went to KL again, though a boring one but still enjoyable.

  Christmas decorations =D Took this at The Gardens.

  Finally got the change to walk through the fountain instead of walking through the bridge.

 

The bridge between Mid Valley and The Gardens

Had a meal at Canton-I =D

  The most delicious prawn wantans ever!

  Another ice pillar =D

Had another meal at Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen!

  The crispy and delicious fries.

  The heavenly taste of the tender chicken. Boneless meat with soft and crispy taste.

  Another shot. It just makes me want it more!

Well yeah that’s all for now. There’s actually some more pictures, will post it up soon =D

Bored

Boredom leads to randomness.

Digital arts never failed to amuse me

Well?

Blogo - Mac's alternative for Windows Live Writer

Brother’s convocation

Okay… Convocation! Oh wait, again? Yes, it’s my brother’s turn.

Merely after half a year, it’s my brother’s turn for graduation. Congratulations! =D

Well the trip to KL was… great! I finally got a chance to taste Wendy’s and Popeyes

At Midvalley =D

My meal - Tender chicken or something. Boneless. Heavenly.

 

Fried fish.

At Midvalley’s Machines, there’s actually someone watching Get A Mac ads inside the studio.

Look at all the iMac boxes!

Then while going back to the parking, saw a Nissan March Impul which looks like a trolley (my mom said that).

 

Trolley car!

Well then it’s pretty much like the previous convocation, using my cousin brother’s Nikon DSLR. I have to say it’s a good DSLR.

 

Nikon D60.

I got camera craze and I took a photo of my own camera.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15

Then my sister asked if I can help her assemble a chair she got from Ikea. I have to say, Ikea really eases transportation of their products, yet easy to assemble too.

 

Looks is rather complex but the manual teaches everything within 2 pages.

Then after assembly I got too bored and played around with the DSLR.

I really like this picture. The lighting, the warm color, everything!

Then they went out to get something at Subang. I just sat around and played with the DSLR much. My cousin brother got a MacBook Pro recently too. I couldn’t help myself but to snap picture of it.

MacBook Pro.

Seriously I love the build quality. Comes with a price, but totally worth it. Aluminium body, multi-touch trackpad, and the best is this!

It has light! When it’s on sleep mode then the light will turn off.

Even the keyboard is dimly lit in the dark.

Look at it glow. And the accident-free power plug too!

On the next day, we got to 1U Hotel as fast as we could. Still couldn’t make it on time. What to do? We took pictures like mad.

My mom.

My sisters.

 

My sister and Ooi Jin =D

Totally pointless and random picture.

Again my sister.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Then we sat down, have a drink and went back in to take photos.

Congratulations again lol!

In the hotel.

Hehehe.

Wizard sleeve lol!

After that we went to Sunway Pyramid. One thing I’m amazed is that the pillars are made Egyptian style with a little special crafting.

 

Something special it is!

Then had a meal at Wendy’s too! The food is… okay… Not as expected. I still like Louisiana though.

Wendy’s fries.

Then at night we went to Sri Hartamas (weird name) for dinner.

Really really grand place. The name of this place - Grand Imperial.

Inside, we actually got a private room. There’s karaoke and also a private toilet!

Wow? It’s really epic.

Nothing much inside there, just a lot of special food, and a very luxurious place.

Then while we’re leaving, we got through the wrong entrance and saw this.

Winery!

Also while we’re at 1Utama there was this shop selling stickers. We bought two.

First one. In my sister’s room.

 

 

Second one. Sticking at the corner was my idea.

On the next day we pretty much just went to Pavillion and went home. I ate fish and chips (my favourite, don’t ask why) and went for a fish spa. My sister had discount tickets =D

My fish and chips.

Here’s another random picture about food. I just realized I like to take picture about food lol.

Ice pillar LOL. Ice kacang.

The fish spa here was great. The view, the feel, the fish!

It feels so good.

The view is relaxing too. The sun isn’t shining really brightly that day so it gave us a cozy feel.

I wish I have a dream home with this feeling.

Pavillion is great. The whole place is really nice with the decorations and stuff. Especially with the events! =D

Taken outside of The Tangs @ Pavillion

The decorations are great at Pavillion. I wish to have a trip there again too.

My sister at a Christmas tree.

Looking in detail, the flowers there look like this.

Every flower looks similar to this one. Imagine, they have a few hundred of identical flower beds made out of this flower.

Lol. And yes I love my diabetic shoes.

There was also a fashion show at Pavillion.  I took a picture of it, but there were too many people.

The fashion show was sponsored by Maxis.

I got a closer shot too. Thanks to the 5x zoom that my camera has.

Look at the crowd!

While we were waiting for my brother, Ooi Jin drank some funky drink.

He said it tastes bad. Lol.

Well that’s the trip to KL for my brother’s convocation. Congratulations again lol.
