ASUS X502C went Swimming
Accidentally spilled tap water on my ASUS X502C laptop (Intel Core I3 - 3217U, 1.8GHz; 4GB memory; 500GB HDD, OS WIN8). The keyboards began to make these little meep meep beep beep sounds. To avoid a short-circuit, I immediately power down the machine.
Tipped it upside down to drain out the water and googled for similar experiences.
After half an hour, unscrewed all 11 screws from the bottom and removed the keyboard, then carefully unplugged the little tape cable thing that attaches the keyboard and touch pad to the motherboard.
Tipped open the keyboard (as shown in photo) and full blast blow dry it under a standing fan for a couple of hours. Tried to power up the machine but Windows 8 refused to start up. Gave me the BIOS (blue) screen which refuses to load Windows. Hence powered down and continue to blow dry it.
By next morning, Windows started up normally with a few "hang" here and there, but fully functional.
In the following day, everything was back to normal. 觀音媽保庇!
PS: If it's beer, wine, soda spill, you may have to strip down the motherboard and wash it in pure DISTILLED water or pure alcohol before drying it completely (around 12-24 hours depending on your climate). If the water has reached your powered motherboard and f*cked up the circuits, you may need to buy a new laptop/notebook (unless under warranty).

SPRING BREAK 2010
The beach was dirty as hell
with all the plastic bags and plastic cups
Irresponsible teenagers!
Hope they feel guilty after seeing some dead seagulls
Yea right!
Where were you guys when the drunk Abos
were smoking and scaring everyone on the train?
WHERE?
Morning Scene outside Coles
You see Aussies are pretty well-dressed
They even go to the supermarket in
proper pants and covered shoes (not all though)

Taiwan 励志哥
Finally for this post, I would like to share a CASE STUDY
about this Taiwanese dude, 张富杰 who goes by a more famous name - 励志哥
What is this term "励志哥"?
Its used to describe men/women who are fucking hideous-looking
yet has a gorgeous partner
It was made famous by 张富杰 in December 2009
his forum nickname goes by - 励志哥
His famous quotes
只要肯去勾就有女。
(Mandarin: If you are willing, you will get a girl)
如果你还在抱怨上天对你不公平,麻烦你看看哥吧
(Mandarin: If you're still complaining about life being unfair, take a look at me!)
King Ming says
True! Stop blaming your bad luck with ladies/men!
You can always do something about it
If you're fat - Go slim down!
MBA Sammy Phua did a research and discover that 33% of the fat people
has a mental barrier which they used to comfort themselves
to acknowledge that being fat is
A. Inheritant B. Norm C. Acceptable
Wrong, wrong and wrong!
The biggest discrimination in the world is not against people with darker skin
it is with fat and obese people
How so? It is due to the lack of exercise, indulgence in bad posture and over-eating
And stop saying you have "big bone" - bad excuse!
If you have a bad personality - Practice kindness and be a better person!
If you are poor - Get a fucking job!
If you have ugly features - Get a plastic surgery! Or learn to apply make-up!
You are the master of your own life and destiny.
It is not God's will for you to take up 1.5 seats on public transportation
(quote: disgustingpeople.blogspot.com/)
If you have deformities - No one is stopping you from becoming a nice person!
ITS TIME TO WAKE UP, PEOPLE!
(Note: Throughout the 励志哥 segment, I did not mention Jay Ng Jiajin)
DISGUSTING BRISBANE (Spring)
I have no idea why Aussie juveniles love to smash glass
Every now and then (especially weekends)
They come out, got drunk and starts smashing things
I believe Aussies have a much bigger drinking problem than Indians
At least Indians beat up their wives at home
and do not behave as a public nuisance
I am a Complain King!
but seriously, I don't like the Librarian's attitude
I queued for 20min at the IT Helpdesk
and she just clicked on the Griffith University Website
and read aloud to me like I'm some illiterate China student
"Library and IT Help will not be able to provide any technical support beyond this self-help guide"
I replied "So you're not gonna offer any form of assistance?"
She simple nodded and smile at me.
Other librarians at least help me book an appointment with in-campus IT technicians
This is a BLOODY OUTRAGE! Shame on you!
