DIY Project Sept'14- Cover-up a drawer with Floppy Disks

I have been thinking awhile on how to utilize / recycle those 3.5" floppy disks in my rooms...

And one day, I found out a drawer that's been used to keep all my brother stuffs have been covered with dust within, due to......

 The back is not covered up with woods, that's explained how the dust gets collected within...

(Dust has been cleared up, before this photo is taken...)

So, that's why this project is started......

(Concept originated from DIY Floppy Disk Planters)

Items required:

1. Glue Gun (to glue up those diskettes)

2. Glue Sticks (to be use with the Glue Gun) 

3. Diskettes, a lots of diskettes...

Beginning stage...

Work-in-progress...

The back has finally been covered...

So is the upper part...

I have applied some masking tapes on the diskettes to prevent dust to gets in the drawer, as there are some holes between the glued-diskettes...

Finally, project completed!

National Day of Mourning for MH17...Really?

It's announced by Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, that 22 August 2014 will be a "National Day of Mourning" as the date will witness the arrival of the remains of Malaysian victims of the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH17 tragedy.

With this "National Day of Mourning", people have been nicely forced asked to do the following things / events have to take place as a way to pay respect to those died in this tragedy:-

1. To wear dark clothes - Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) executive director
2. Ceremony and rehearsal of ceremony in receiving the victims' bodies
3. A minute of silence
4. "Cars should stop during the moment of silence"- Communications and Multimedia Minister
5. Toll Plaza to stop operate for 1 minute
6. Radio stations to only play slow and sad songs (at least that's what I've noticed on all the radio stations I tuned into)
7. Prohibit operation of entertainment activities

I'm not intend to disrespect the victims and their families of this Flight MH17 tragedy, I felt shocked and sad too on the day of this tragedy happened...

However, the government and media have overdo it, all this "National Day of Mourning" was for the Flight MH17; but, I don't see the same treatment done in paying respect for people such as:-
 
- passengers and their families of Flight MH370
- true hero who defend and fight for the country (soldiers and policeman who's been sacrificed in Lahad Datu against terrorist and pirates in Sabah)
- victims of massive tragedy happened locally

At the same time, there maybe some people in Malaysia just gone through some really tough time and just overcame it...and now you're asking these people to be turn into "sad mode" (again)?
Paying respect shall be an act of sincere, without been forced and surely not overdo...
But, the government and most of the media failed to understand the real meaning of "paying respect"...

Please continue reading if I have not offended you (up-to here) or you are someone who have a sense of humor... :)

Calm down with simple breathing exercise

Think you need to calm down, but don't know how?

So far, I've found the below instruction somewhat useful;
you should give it a try.

Step by step instruction
1. Exhale (gently) for 4 seconds
2. Inhale for 3 seconds
3. Hold your breath for about 1 second
4. Back to Step 1
