Global Oil Price Per Barrel

Why Concern?

Anyone noticed that I've inserted the live crude oil price index at the side of my blog?

Hehe... why am I so concern? I guess the oil price is very much related to the global economic condition. However, the most important thing is I am working in an oil & gas service company; the oil price has a very direct impact on my company financial performance (and of course, whether I can make myself survive in the company during this recession).

Well, I am not hoping that the oil price will increase tremendously....but it should be maintained at a reasonable level which I think

USD 70 per barrel??

Buying A Washing Machine

Come across this article when I was trying to serach for some information on the home appliance for my future home. Thought it might be useful information for most of you, so decided to copy the summary into here.

Washing machines come in two varieties:

1. Front loading washing machine

Pros

• Consumes less water, detergent and electricity
• Provides better wash
• Usually comes with in-built heater
• Fits under your kitchen cabinet
• Has a pump to drain water

Cons

• Expensive
• More noisy
• Much heavier than top loading washing machines

2. Top loading washing machines

Pros

• Cheap
• Light weight
• Less noisy
• Need not bend to load/unload clothes

Cons

• Consumes more water, detergent and electricity
• Does not come with built-in hot wash facility

Tips for buying a washing machine:

1. If you can afford the cost, go for a front loading washing machine. It offers better wash quality, has low running cost (in terms of water, detergent and electricity consumed) and occupies less space.
2. If you want a cheap, easy to move around machine, go for a top loading washing machine.

Things to look for when buying a washing machine:

1. It should have the ability to remember where it stopped before a power cut and resume from that point when the power comes on again. This feature is a must. Many cheap top loading washing machines do not have this feature.
2. Front loading washing machines should allow you to drain water manually when the power goes off so that you can remove the clothes and wash them by hand. If you can't drain the water, you can't open the door in front loading washing machines, as the water would spill from the front.

Symptoms Of Infection

Saw the below tips from yahoo on how to identify if your computer is infected .

Yeah..this is what I experience.

• You experience new, prolonged slowdowns. This can be a sign that a malicious program is running in the background.
• You continually get pop-up ads that you can't make go away. This is a sure sign you have "adware," and possibly more, on your machine.

• You're being directed to sites you didn't intend to visit, or your search results are coming back funky. This is another sign that hackers have gotten to your machine.

So, what can we do?

• Having anti-virus software here is hugely helpful. For one, it can identify known malicious programs and disable them. If the virus that has infected your machine isn't detected, many anti-virus vendors offer a service in which they can remotely take over your computer and delete the malware for a fee.

• Some anti-virus vendors also offer free, online virus-scanning services.

• You may have to reinstall your operating system if your computer is still experiencing problems. It's a good idea even if you believe you've cleaned up the mess because malware can still be hidden on your machine. You will need to back up your files before you do this.

So, please be more careful when you surf net. If not, you will have unnecessary headache.

Virus

My company laptop was attacked by Trojan horse “Xsafe”. It was terrible. My hard disk totally corrupted and has to be replaced with a new one. Luckily I didn’t receive a warning letter.

Why this happen?!

Cause I was about to visit a china website to book the hotel’s room for our Guang Zhou trip on September….

So, dude, beware of this Trojan Horse!!

Birthdays

Last week is my mother’s and dear’s mother’s birthday…
What a co-incidence…mom’s birthday on 15th March, “auntie’s” birthday on 16th March.
I spend RM215 for their present!

Mom's Earing

Wish both of you pretty always, always in good health and Happy Birthday!

Dead

This blog has been dead for a while.
I believe is cause of my laziness…
As I mentioned before, I am not that type that will sit in front of the computer and type my stories…
But, I love to read other’s stories…even a stranger story may attract me…
