Computer keep restarting

I have encountered a desktop computer keep restarting without any notice or message telling it is going to shutdown. It just get kick off from desktop and restarting itself. So, i searched about this issue and asking around the technician mans, and finally got some answers why the computer behaving like this., and how to deal with it.

1. The hard drive is not working perfectly.
So, if able to enter into safe mode, use the Command Prompt run the checkdisk command: chkdsk /f /p /r /x c:
This command will check the hard drive structure, and takes quite some time to finish, almost 1 hour or more, depending on hard drive size.

2. The Memory RAM is not working perfectly.
In this case, turn off the computer, open the desktop and remove the memory banks, clean them and put it back, one at the time. Then turn on the computer and if everything goes OK, turn it off and put the other bank.

3. The computers processor is getting too hot.
To check on this, enter to BIOS during boot (usually by pressing Delete, F1 or F2 when the computer just starts) and check on an option about the "Computers temperature" (usually under “PC Health”).

Right here should show the current temperature of the computer together with the emergency shutdown temperature. The emergency shutdown temperature is a safeguard for when the computer gets too hot and will shut itself down to prevent damage.

In this case, usually we will either raise the shutdown temperature or switch it off completely, however be warned that you may damage the computer if the computer gets too hot. If the temperature was causing the reboots then you should consider getting better cooling for the computer such as more powerful CPU fans and more case fans.


4. There is a problems with BIOS.
Usually this is a problem with no easy solution, and personally I never goes so far, and never done before.

If with steps above still could not get into desktop, maybe should try on "system restoring" and scan for viruses/spyware. And if system restoring also can't solve the issue, then I suggest to "Format" the system to get a fresh one.
However, to disable the automatic reboot for the computer, you can disable it by following below steps:
1. Right clicking on “My Computer”
2. Choosing “Properties”.
3. Goto the “Advanced” Tab
4. Under “Startup and Recovery” press the “Settings” button.
5. Un-check/un-tick the "Automatically restart" under the System failure at bottom.

Drawing Simple Doraemon using Microsoft Paint-part1

Doraemon, a cartoon character, well-loved childhood icons for million people, was created by a Japanese name Fujiko F. Fujio. I do like doraemon for it's story simplicity, ease of understanding and most important thing is the educational sense of moral and invention's idea.

I started to read this comic since primary school. While reading on the stories, i will bookmarking pages for Doraemon that i'm going to draw later on.

So, after so many years of practising on paper, finally i tried it on using the computer with Microsoft paint. I will use mostly the epllipse, straight line and eraser for drawing and filler for coloring. Quite fun drawing on.

Below is the one i draw using paint, and next blog will start showing the drawing steps.

Reasons/purposes for playing games

There are many reasons for people to play games, like computer games, play station games, online games, offline games etc...I seldom play games, coz i think it was very time consuming, and i'm lazy to play it. And even if i play, i'm just playing the offline games, like reversi, or those simple strategy type of games. Very small program with simple logic and needed less time for attention.

Recently, a friend introduce me the facebook's games, and did try on some of the games. Those games were very different from what i had played before. They are much more graphics, much more attractive, and different type of logic. 

There are many reasons why people playing all sort of game, and i guess below are some of the reasons/purposes:

  • For fun.
  • To fill their boringness.
  • To know how the games work.
  • To make friends
  • Make earning as a job
  • A test
  • To sell platform for related product
  • To challenge the game logic
  • To gain popularity
  • Because of friend(s)
  • Get addicted

and so on...

好人的故事2--无关系的善良人

这好人,是自己认识的好人。是身边的人。一个给我多方面启启示的好人。在我的认知里,这好人做了很多好事。而在那么多的事里面,最为我觉得感动和伟大的是;他将别人的孩子养大了,而且,看着他孩子结婚生子。

除此之外,当好人逐渐年老时,他和孩子住在一起了,帮他看管他的孩子。谓之, 换了个照应和住宿。

艰辛穷苦;连那买菜钱也得赊账的日子,使得他将储蓄都用在这个家;他孩子和所谓孙子的身上。虽然储蓄不多,但长达将近十八年的时间, 却也连那棺材本也动用了,使得他曾为那撒手归西时之事,深感担忧;落泪。然,落泪、担忧还是抵挡不了善良的心。

除 了金钱上的付出,精神上也付出很多。本身,他自己有严重的风湿病;而且,是双脚。这,使得他行动十分不方便外,还真是精神与肉体的一种折磨。在这样的情况 下,还要照顾多个相隔不大的小孩。十八年的精神和体力。从帮婴儿洗澡至教会孩儿自己洗澡到会洗自己的衣服,这一切,时间都做了他功劳的证人。

这一切的事,他其实是拥有选择权。但,因为他了解;那环境,那空间,那情绪;纵使是多么的无能为力,他还是尽完全自己的所有;出尽所能提供辅助,未曾计较。

善良的心,每个人都有;只是,有没被启用。然,当启用了;是否又愿意。这,都归于个人选择权力。他做了的选择权,让我尊重,让我知道好人的一种。

他的好,是一种不灭的精神。他的好,是一种火把。

他的好,使我久久怀念;是我久久怀念的事。

好人的故事3-关心学生的老师

今天的好人身份是一位老师。故事是说一位老师如何对一位学生的好。严格来说,就职位上而言,她的职位比老师高。在校内,是一人之下,万人之上的职位,兼训导主任。因此,她已鲜少教书。因为始终是以教师入行,所以称之为老师。

她的衣着总是整整齐齐,一套套;包括鞋子在内。所以,这位老师给学生的印象是高贵,有气质和性格及专业。从她的衣着和言行,似乎告知,她不是因为工作而工作,而是喜欢及兴趣而工作。给出一种敬业乐业和享受的信息。

听来这么一个关于她和她学生的故事。

有 个学生,不知是家庭环境穷苦还是什么,因此,上课期间,穿了一只破鞋子,竟然有整个母脚指头都能出来透风的破洞。结果有一天,在还有三五天就要过年之际, 学生正在上课之时,这位老师竟然召见那学生到办公室去。当那学生听到被召见,竟还是那位老师,当场给吓坏了,因为自己不曾放过什么纪律的错。沿途中,急忙 在想,到底自己是哪不对?

想啊想。。走啊走。。心肝”砰砰“声响到似乎要掉了出来!终于,还是来到了办公室门口。学生定了定神,敲了敲门,还是进去了。此时,老师笑脸应着坐下。坐下的那刻,学生心理还是忐忑不安,很是拘谨。

老 师温柔又小心翼翼的问了那学生,一些关于他家庭背景的事。如父母亲做什么工作?家里还有什么成员?学费是谁付?。。等。问完后,她从手提袋里,拿了个红包 出来,然后交给那学生。她命令式的口吻叫学生一定要收下拿红包。然后,解释说,因为看到他穿了个破了大洞的鞋子,因此希望那小红包能给他买双新鞋子。之 后,她还告知学生说她的孩子都已长大和各有自己的事业,因此小红包只是她一点的心意。接着,还吩咐那学生,回到班上时,别将此事说出来。

整 件事对学生而言,根本就是在他意想不到的范围内。而且,老师的态度及方法,真的是十分温柔及婉转。所以,当老师问那学生的背景时,学生根本完完全全没想 到,是因鞋子这回事被召见,也就一五一十的告知。然后,当老师将红包塞了过来和解释时,更没想到那老师会有如此的想和做法,因此,他只有听从命令,傻傻及 尴尬的将红包收下。然后,傻傻及不好意思的回应谢谢。谢谢,是学生当时唯一能做的事。

后来,那学生回到家后,告知他的父亲。然后,再拆开红包来看,发觉里面的钱,是自己长的那么大都还没收过的数目!他父亲也看得傻眼。拿着那钱,学生第一件事就是,到店里买了双新鞋,好的过年后开学时,能穿上新鞋子上课去!

这个老师,在自己能做的事的范围内;她看也做到。她做了她的工作也帮了学生。

好人的故事1-师父、徒弟、放下

看了一部戏,戏里, 有个好人告诉个固执的年轻人一个故事。那故事,在还未看戏前,曾丛书里看过。故事里,师父叫徒弟,背着装了很重又有很多东西的麻袋, 丛山脚背到山上去, 才将麻袋放下。

一路上,山路的凹凸不平和斜波, 使到小徒弟觉得,肩背的麻袋是越走越是沉重,山路越斜越是辛苦。但是,因为师父有命,所以,再辛苦,小徒弟也得撑下去。小徒弟唯有慢慢,艰苦的往山上继续走。

经过了一段时间,小徒弟终于来到了山顶。然后将肩背后的麻袋下。当麻袋被放下来的瞬间,小徒弟觉得无比的轻松自在多了!

故事说到这里, 那个好人告诉年轻人说, 过去的包袱;恩怨,过去了就放下它吧,唯有放下了它, 才能感觉那轻松啊!

固执的年轻人听后,开始是哭了,因为好人的话说到他的心坎里。之后,愣了下而看着好人踏步离去。最后,固执的年轻人丢下了固执,而追着好人,扶着他下山。

最重要的是, 年轻人不再把这好人当是仇人了!

变了

很高兴得知obama成为了美国总统。(虽然他成不成总统,都不关我的事。。)
高兴是因为,是第一位黑人美国总统!
高兴是因为, 这真是历史上的重大改变,特别对美国而言。
高兴是因为,毕竟,黑人在美国历的成长史里,并不是一件容易写下的文章。
高兴是因为,有色眼镜被放了下来。
高兴是因为,观点改变了。虽然不懂这观点会维持多久, 但至少,有了改变。

是变了。

可怜的两只龟。。。

今天真是可怜了那两支龟龟。。。
早上我出门前, 因为太早而它们还在睡觉, 所以就没把它们放回到它们的"浴缸"里。(我家的那两支龟在晚上时会跟它们"洗身", 然后放到设定的干地方睡觉得。)直到我晚上七点回家时才发觉,原来家里人都忘了"请"它们回到"浴缸"。那就是说它们两到我归家前,都没有吃过食物! 一整天了都没一粒食料进入肚子!
看到了如此的状况, 我赶紧的将它们"搬"进"浴缸", 到入水和食料。 看这它们一大口的进食, 我才"放心"了点。呼呼!

那两支龟已养了好多年了,是弟弟买的而另一位妹妹在照顾。 是自它们还是有如50仙般大时, 就开始养到现在了。 应该有八,九年了吧。。因主人有事远离,所以由其他家里成员代顾。。


雌的大过手掌一寸,雄的比手掌小一寸。雌的那支,洗完澡后 ,会往卧室方向爬去。而雄的那支, 看到向它挥着的手, 就会爬去。所以 ,当有时间和它们相处时,也蛮爽的。。。唯一不爽的是,它们不能发出声响的反应。

年二十七。外婆。

年二十七是外婆的逝世日。
往年我都会去拜祭她。但近这两年因有事发生而没去拜祭到她。
和外婆的感情算是最好的吧。她教我最多东西。人生道理。生存之道,处事。。。等等等。
年二十七, 我又记起我的外婆。。。也想起了蛮久以前写下对她的思念。

************

要想见你,
只能看着你留下唯一的相片。
~ 这唯一的方法。

是宿命吧?
在您离去之前竟还能为你拍了人生最后一张的相片.
是宿命吧?
居然您能留下给我的样子也只是那张相片.

将近发黄的照片,
告诉我您离去以久的时间.
但片中的情景和与您一起的记忆,
却不曾在我脑海中被遗忘过.

手里握着的相片,眼睛看着您的我;
心情是悲伤,无奈和庆幸.
悲伤,因这是唯一能再见您的方法.
无奈,因您的离去就像生活般那样无奈.
庆幸,至少您还遗留了这张相片.

历史/History Subject

我蛮喜欢历史。 因为读它就好像读故事书般。 也因为它能使我从中学到东西。 不喜欢它的人会觉的它是很闷的科目。
我喜欢 它是因为它告诉我。。。。过去, 现在, 和将来。

Someone like me by Atoic Kitten

Am listening this song now. An easy to sing song, simple and short. Just like it...dunno why. Maybe the lyric tells something about what I'm thinking at the moment....

Photo and video taking

Nowadays, photo and video taking are very common, and many hand phones are providing these kinds of functions.

I like photo and video taking long before the handphone's technology exist ...but i'm not good at any of these skills...just simply like to take or shoot...for the sake of fun...

There are many reasons for people to take the photos...i took the photos, mainly to keep on some memories of life. So, i took my clock, my cup, my wardrobe, my pillow...anything...everything…

Of course, i took the photo of people too...and that's more meaningful… and usually, using the video type instead of photo...coz video can tape the sound and movement as well...For this hobby, i thanked to my grandmum…

And last, thanks my entire "model" too...

Guan Yin Bamboo



These few years, my mum was very enjoyed decorating the bamboo for her friends, for free. Especially during Chinese New Year time. I guess she must be very enjoyed doing so; else she won’t keep doing it for years, right?

And I think, this is good too as this activity can fill some of her free time, and yet making something that she likes…..

Initially, she has her own thinking on the designs of the decorating and doesn’t care whether those designs are nice or not and just do it; then give them away to her friends, as a gift for Chinese New Year with blessings. However, sometimes when we “spotted” the design is not so good; she will still change her minds and ask our helps to “contribute” on our ideas, and taking the advantage to “lazy” a bit, while watching us “contributing”. Hehehe…

During this process, she will occupied mostly the spaces at the kitchen, and resulting some inconveniences and uncomfortable (coz kitchen is the place where she can “hide” her “master piece” from seeing by her friends….hahhaha), yet, pause and think twice, comparing this little inconveniences with the satisfactions and filling of her free time, it is actually incomparable!

Missionaries and Cannibals /传教士和野人问题

3 missionaries & 3 cannibals are on one side of a river, along with a boat that can hold one or two people. Find out a way to get everyone to the other side, without ever leaving a group of missionaries in one place outnumbered by the cannibals in that place.

传教士和野人问题是一个经典的智力游戏问题。 有3个传教士和3个野人来到河边准备渡河,河岸有一条船,每次至多可供2人乘渡。问传教士为了安全起见,应如何规划摆渡方案,使得任何时刻,在河的两岸以及船上的野人数目总是不超过传教士的数目。即求解传教士和野人从左岸全部摆渡到右岸的过程中,任何时刻满足M(传教士数)≥C(野人数)和M+C≤2的摆渡方案。



L/R : Left/Right side of the river. M = missionaries, c=cannibal,b = boat
