nVidia GeForce GT635M and Skype

So when I first gotten my hands on my Asus N45SL (Jay Chou's Mystic Edition), I did a clean format.

There was this error with Skype that whenever the graphic card (specifically GeForce GT635M) is enabled, you will get an error when trying to run Skype. Apparently everyone with Asus and a 635M was having this issue. The temporary solution was to disable the GC, run Skype, then re-enable the GC. This wasn't a very good solution for long run though.

Download Line Birzzle for free Line Stickers!

So apparently peeps on Android can "root" their phone for everything to be free on Android. Seeing my friends with Line on Android spamming those paid stickers got me jealous, then I saw this new game from Naver, Line Birzzle, which offers a free set of stickers after you download the game!

They are pretty cute, so check it out!

Went missing again

Yeah. I went missing from blogging again. Heck there are so many distractions, Diablo 3 and more Diablo 3.

Taiwan!

Wow! It's been such a long time! I guess I really did abandon this blog since August 2011.

Well, just a short update! I am currently pursuing Master degree in Taiwan!

You know what, I will once again try to resurrect this blog, so if there are still any readers left, stay tuned!

Fatality in Angels Landing

Heard that there's someone (identity unclear to me) fell off the Angels Landing and died today.
Not sure what caused the person to fell off, maybe he/she slipped, maybe the wind was too strong, maybe he/she didn't hold on firmly to the guiding chain.

Observation Point

On April 26th, I hiked the Observation Point, one of Zion's classic trail/hike. Oh well, it's been more than a month hike and only now I am here blogging about it. Been having some activities if not otherwise lazy and stay in my room watching movies and whatnot. Left my blog stranded so I am now back again to write something.

Life in Zion Lodge

It is the 49th day I am in the states, or Zion Lodge, to be precise.
It is raining since yesterday evening, else it would have been sunny. Sunny isn't bad over here because of the low humidity. Back in Malaysia it will be as hot but with high humidity which means 30 seconds walk under the sun and you will be sweating mad. They say that it will get warmer and warmer over here as summer approaches. Luckily, I don't have to work under the sun. I am used to hot weather (from my country) but that doesn't means I need more of it!

Snow in Zion Lodge

2 weeks ago, it was snowing in Zion Lodge. You probably wouldn't think its that much of a big deal but it was a big deal, snowing in the middle of April, which is Spring season!

We were expecting snow from the weather forecast, but it still surprised me when I woke up in the morning going to work and saw snow piling up everywhere.
Benches with snows.
