jickyeung I guess that your audio content is in high quality and/or you have used bitmap images in your animation. For audio, you may consider to tune down the quality to achieve a smaller file size. Audio editors like Audacity should help. For images, you better...

What do you prefer to read, books, magazines, or online/electronic sources of information? Why?

books

magazines

reading

jickyeung I read magazine when I am in a salon, waiting for the stylist. In leisure time, I prefer reading books. I usually borrow books from library instead of buying. But no matter for book or magazine, I cannot read with their electronic form as I found myself unable...

Hi all. When I was about making my 100th post, I thought I would have a rating of 8. But finally I got 7, and was a bit disappointed, as I thought I always tried to response as meaningful as possible, and involved in discussions...

I hate winged termite very much. They usually come out in rainy days. I can see them in any places, no matter at home or when walking on a street. Their wings are so 'fragile'. When they touch my clothes, their wings will slough...

jickyeung I am in Hong Kong. $10 is about $80 Hong Kong dolor. $78 HKD is not that much in Hong Kong. But still, I can buy something I want. With $78, I can buy any of the following: - a CD (the singer cannot be too popular) - 2 to 3 meals (in fast food shop) - a USB...

jickyeung I use not to download with download manager as most of my downloads are small in filesize, which can complete in a breeze. But when I need to, I always use Orbit Downloader. I choose it because I needed to grab video clips and music files from web pages...

jickyeung Hi youetme. It sounds strange that your friend has 100 thousand yuan to buy a house, but doesn't have 5000 yuan for decorating the house. In my opinion, she seems to have some problems in managing the use of money. If you really lend her, she may not give you...

have you earn enough to give your parents some allowance to spent every month or you still ask them for money even you're working

money

jickyeung I have been giving money to mum (or better say, the family) since working. I believe that this is what we should do. Our parents have spent so much on us, no matter time or money. When they get old, we should try our best to take up the responsibility to make...

jickyeung I never logout at home. But I think you are right. It is a good practice to logout for banking, retirement, insurance,etc. sites. For public web sites, I often forget to logout before leaving. I am too careless :-)

jickyeung Do you share your computer with others? If yes, it's better to logout before closing computer. By the way, I do remember some web browsers let you clear the login details such as username and password, which is another way for cleaning up privacy data.

jickyeung Hi alokn99. You reminded me that I have bought two bikes in my childhood. To be specific, it was my father who bought me the bikes. I begged him and he bought me. The quality was as good as first hand and they gave me an memorable childhood period.

jickyeung Exactly. Second hand book has no different with first hand to me. When I manage to buy a second hand book, I just skim through the book to ensure it is generally clean, then I'll go to the cashier to pay for it. No hesitation at all especially when the price...

jickyeung Sometimes. If I like a song I'll try to make myself understand the lyrics as well, not just listening and singing it. But the bad thing is, sometimes even if I read the lyrics, I don't know what it means. puzzled!
