What are FAT32 (File Allocation Table) and NTFS?

Both are actually file systems created for keeping track of files in the hard disk.
While FAT32 was initially created in 1977, NTFS on the other hand is created 20 years later.
Frankly speaking, NTFS is a better file system due to several reasons. One of it is that NTFS allows you to transfer file larger than 4GB whereas FAT32 does not have this feature. Besides, NTFS file system is more complex and flexible as it does file-encryption, sparse file support, usage of disk quotas and the likes. HOwever, FAT32 uses small compartments which means it uses spaces more effectively. It is also recommended for multiple operating systems in the same computer. It takes only minutes to convert FAT32 to NTFS file systems without loss of any data. Nonetheless, it is not so easy to convert NTFS back to FAT32 unless the hard disk or thumb drive is being reformatted.

How to convert FAT32 to NTFS without losing data or formatting?

1. Go to Computer, and note the name of the drive whose file system you wish to convert. (I will use E: as my drive)
2. Click Start.
3. Type cmd.
4. Execute chkdsk E: /f where E: is the letter of the drive that I am converting.
5. Execute Convert E: /FS:NTFS.
6. The command prompt will start the conversion process and after few minutes, cmd will say that conversion was successful.
7. Check it in the properties of the drive through right click Properties of the drive.

Once the time for the last paper is up, my first year has finally reach to its ending. Needless to say, I have endured one month of living in hell literally. With exactly similar routine each day, which were eating reading and sleeping continuously, I had no interaction with anyone throughout the entire month. Anyways, the pure agony started during the examination day itself. The moment I realised that the stuff I have read was not being tested, I was simply devastated and pray to god that I could pass my first year successfully. Nonetheless, right after the end of my final paper, I could feel that a heavy burden was being lifted off from my shoulders. And the party begins!  Now comes the anxious part, the results day! The results will be announced next week and it will determine the fate of my life. At this point, I can only hope for the best and pray every single day! wish me luck guys! For those who are sitting for examination as well, all the best! Till then, au revoir!

We Are One (Ole Ola) lyrics

Put your flags up in the sky (put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you’re from (show them where you’re from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)
Oe oe oe oh la
Oe oe oe oh la
Oe oe oe oh la
When the moment gets tough
You’ve got keep going
One love, one life, one world
One fight, whole world, one night, one place
Brazil, everybody put your flags in the sky and do what you feel
It’s your world, my world, our world today
And we invite the whole world, whole world to play
It’s your world, my world, our world today
And we invite the whole world, whole world to play
Es mi mundo, tu mundo, el mundo de nosotros
Invitamos a todo el mundo a jugar con nosotros
Put your flags up in the sky
(Put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you’re from (show them where you’re from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)
Put your flags up in the sky (Put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you’re from (show them where you’re from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)
Oe oe oe oh la
Oe oe oe oh la
Oe oe oe oh la
Put your flags up in the sky (put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you’re from (show them where you’re from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)
Put your flags up in the sky (put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you’re from (show them where you’re from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)
Oe oe oe oh la
Oe oe oe oh la
Oe oe oe oh la

I have taken some time to visit my cousins in Singapore last month. While I was wondering around the shopping mall nearby, I entered this minimart named "ABC Bargain Store" and planned to get some snacks to increase the inventory back in my hostel. Glancing through the available products, I noticed boxes of somewhat hot chocolate drinks with the price of only $SGD1.95 per boxes (10 packets)! I was like "Oh gosh, that's insanely cheap for chocolate drink compared to other brands that I used to consume such as MILO and VICO! ( Yes I am thrifty and I have to be that way as I can barely survive with the allowance provided by my sponsors where three quarters of it were used or my hostel fees!). Anyway, I was quite hesitant whether I would like it's taste bacause it did seem weird for a box of hot chocolate drinks with such low price so I ended up buying 2 boxes; One was Milk Chocolate flavour and the other was Marshmallow flavour. Taking along these two boxes back to my hometown in Malaysia, I decided to give some to my parents for sampling purposes. #asians.  Boy I should just bang my head to the wall for buying only TWO BOXES! Upon tasting it for the first time, I was liking it to the extend that I wish I had bought more that day! Swiss Miss is undoubtedly nice if not better compared to other brands of hot cocoa in the market considering its low and affordable price. Go get one now at the nearest store people!

With the incessant onslaught of pressure due to upcoming first-year medical examination, I could barely provide myself a moment to update my blog. With the time ticking and piles of papers to revise, it is no doubt that I am nervous in all sense. Yes, having said that means I am definitely not the 24-hours-studying-type-of-guy. Neither am I a gamer nor an athlete. Well, I am just fond of spending time living up my life. But at emergency time like this, I have no other choices but to obey to the norms of medical life: burning midnight-oil and trying to cramp every bits of information that I have gathered since first day entering medical school. In short, it is easier said than done. Now that explains why I have yet updated my blog. Anyway, my first year is ending and I cant wait for the four months of Summer Break! #yoohoo After enduring the final exams, I get to return to my home town and celebrate! Till then , au revoir! :)
PS:  I will try to make it up by posting some posts with contents! Apologies!

Ahh, the joy you achieved upon finish reading a story book. It is like you can finally toss the boulder on your shoulder far far away! That was what I did for the past few days. Spending days and nights straining my eyes and busy flickering the e-book that I have downloaded, I finally reached the ending of the storybook "A Splendid Thousand Suns". Indeed. the title of the book has vividly depicts the sorrow and heart-breaking story. It makes me wonder how could Khaled thought of such devastating plots. In tandem, the plots are intriguing, luring the readers to spend their time on the book. The stories revolve around the life of two women, Mariam and Laila. Initially, Mariam's childhood life was described and after going through plethora of ordeals, she ended up marrying a shoemaker named Rasheed. During the war in Afghanistan, Rasheed then married Laila, who was tricked by Rasheed, thinking her lover Tariq was dead in the battlefield. Both Mariam and Laila were ill-treated by Rasheed and series of unfortunate events happen to them. They tried to flee from Rasheed yet their plan had failed miserably and leading to beatings and punchings by Rasheed. During the climax of the story, Mariam killed Rasheed with a shovel in order to prevent Laila from being choked to death by that monster. Laila insisted Mariam to leave Kabul with her to start a new life. However, Mariam declined Laila's offer and surrendered herself to the authority. She was eventually executed for killing her own husband. Laila, on the other hand, moved to Ireland with Tariq and her children for several years after the war ended. Then she visit Mariam's former home, Herat before proceeded back to Kabul.
