Nothing much..

25th November 2006

Life is as per normal although there are less sleep and more physical work for me to do instead of camping in front of my monitor. Wanna have a sneak peak into my nowadays work? You can read it altough there is basically nothing interesting in it other than meeting new SingTel personnel and new food.

• 5.45AM: wake up time!!
• 6.00AM: Makan time.. how can anyone stomach anything this early?? Gah.. although all grace goes to mom for preparing me a piping hot mug of coffee everyday.. yumm..
• 6.40AM: chugg off to Gelang Patah to get the 7.15Am bus..
• 8.00AM: reach Jurong East to unload all of the equipment from my front lorry.. early morning exercise part 1..
• 8.35AM: reach the Main-Con factory.. get the work order for the day.. load up batteries into the lorry (35kg each), Qty varies from 8batt to 16 batt.. back breaking exercise part 2..
• 9.00AM load up the system which is NOT at all light.. all thanks to Shahrul who does all the back breaking work..
• 9.30AM: goes off for the site but if got time, we go early lunch.. can't work on empty stomach
• 10.30AM: report to SingTel personnel for the first site..

IF everything goes smoothly, the job can be completed within 2hrs, looking at the environment, whether its crappy crampy, safe etc.. But the job is really simple... except for the carrying of batteries..

By the time all of us return home (J.B) the only thing we need is a bed and a pillow.. yeah its that tiring..

However there are a few downsites cuz its seems that women are not appreciated in electrical environment. The men.. well most of them are all male chauvanists and downright looking down their noses at me. Its sickening and suffocating.

Women it seems is forever the 2nd class worker in the world.. haiz.. nevermind I will show them what we women are made of..

Oh yeah Jannah.. hunny do you have the clear pix for the Raye outing? I kinda lost it.. hehehe

Fatal Error C000021a

4th November 2006

Ok peeps after lots of fiddling here and there and pouring out my eyesight & destroying my brain cells, I finally figured out what the hell was causing my Windows XP Home Edition to unable to boot up properly.

Listen up to those who are currently facing this problem and DO NOT KNOW the cause.. If your computer keep restarting by itself everytime you try to boot up into your Windows XP Home Edition, then you are facing this problem.

Symptom:
After installing Roxio GoBack (available when you install Norton System Works), and attempt to restart your pc, you may receive this message error:

C000021a [fatal error]
The session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xC00003a ... or something like that

Cause:

When you installed GoBack, it is present in the boot sector, thus causing lots of inconviniet to people like me..

If you can't view the error message, when you boot up your pc, highlight the infected Windows XP Home Edition and then press F8 button.

1) From the menu with all those options of Safe Mode, Start Windows Normally etc..

2) Choose Disable Restart Automatically When Boot System fails (or something in that line.. can't remember the exact option).

3) Then when you restart it again, you can see the error message.

Solution:

1. Ok once you have done that, start Windows as per normal or you can restart your pc, both ways work for me.
2. During StartUp process, press SPACE to access GoBack option menu.
3. When prompted, choose the Disable GoBack Options, and let the pc complete the StartUp process.

Your Windows XP should work just nicely after that and it will bring you back to your beloved Windows XP. From here, you can choose to uninstall GoBack by manually uninstalling it in the Control Panel => Add/ Remove Programs.

In my case, I just prefer to let GoBack irritate me everytime I load up my Windows XP, prompting me whether I want to Activate GoBack, which I Do NOT want..

Hope it works for those of you who are wrecking your brains out.. If you got any qns, just holler me, I'll try my best to answer your them.

Summary...

3rd November 2006

What.. what.. what... has happened? Hmm...

1) Grandma passed away peacefully on 18th October or was it 17th? Not sure.. what I know that she went peacefully and this time, I let it out.. I let all out, I didn't bother to hold it in. I still felt the melanchony of it everytime I thought of her but at least its better than the passing of my late grandad..

No more granny to cuddle up with while I seek comfort from my hectic life.. No more food shopping, her cute granny antics, her simple yet delicious cooking... Just no more Nenek.. Everyone who really knows her will remember her as the old sweet granny with lots of grit.. hahaha...

2) Raye has arrived and now stuffing my stomach with goodies.. yummy.. Lepak at my sister's house for a few days.. Amelia was cute and so was Athira.. hahaha.. Those two are like the Ying and Yang.. Still awaiting for my pictures from my elder brother and my sister.. Why so slow Kak Long and Abg Azrin?

My elder brother came over for raye also.. that is like first time in two years.. Gosh, he sure has grown--sideways!! ahaha... Well I think having a kid certainly put a stopper on his blathering "vocabulary" words.

3) Still deciding when to go out Jalan Raye with frens.. With the new company set up, my work schedule really hectic and turned over. Can't even decide when to start or stop..

4) Haiz.. this one is a little complicated.. My secondary school mate actually asked me to be his girlfriend and me being me, thought he was kidding and just spew out joking words and questioning his sanity and other stuffs which my gal frens think is outrageous.. hahaha

Well how the hell do I know he was serious.. I mean we only sms each other once a month since 5mths ago at my cousin's wedding cuz I so love to keep in touch with old frens. Furthermore the thought of him and me being a couple has NEVER crossed my mind. Good heavens, I was his matchmaker you idiot, and I know he always charms his way to gals heart.. Unfortunately for him, I'm just happy to have him as a fren. I can't imagine us being a couple. No way!!

At least he's still my fren now and we are still back to joking like mad idiots again..

To those who thinks matchmaking me is a great idea: DON'T YOU DARE!!!
