Laptop Disk Space decreased for no reason

D417137 — Sun, 02 May 2010 18:03:10 +0800

Well as mentioned. My HDD Space reduced by 3GB for no reason.
I am pretty sure it isn't System Restore problem or old temporary files as I CClean every time.

I was just using to read some articles and notes and from 360GB reduced to 357GB within an hour so. All these while i.e. within last 5 days have not connected to internet and most likely not a virus.

I didn't put any files or anything inside. Deleted some System Restore files but still the size did not increase.

Could it be because I left my comp alone and it sorta sleep? Could it be hiberfil.sys file problem? I turned off hibernate like some sites suggested and still nothing and couldn't even locate the file.

Also I tried defragmenting and it instead reduced the space more...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for anyone's insight beforehand. Sorry if this seems like a trivial matter...

Habit of eating and crunching Ice

Does anyone have this habit ? I read somewhere that this might be a disorder of some sort either due to something called Pica or it is anemia related. Some even say it's due to s-xual frustration...

Anyone has this habit too or happen to know why ?

I keep crunching ice every now and then. Open fridge door to eat ice when there's nothing to do. Eat at restaurant got free refills will mostly end up with refilling ice rather than the drink.

Is it ever to late to take up a Design Course ?

Hello everybody !

Okay what I wanna ask here basically is... How old are you to be considered old in this field of work, the Art and Design field ? From what I hear you are only as good like a sportsman, once reach certain age *poof* disappears... And afterwards, job seeking will be harder due to the age barrier. Maybe you get a few more years or so if you are good. But generally is it ever to old to learn it up and still continue in this field of work and keep progressing with the young guns ? Anyone out there who is a veteran who could advise please do !

Cause you see my family kinda and has been hinting since I took my STPM result that I should do Law but instead I have always wanted to take Design and the sort. After SPM, I had actually wanted to do it straight but since I can't really come to a conclusion at said time due to various reasons, I went straight for STPM. Now after all is said and done, they tells me not to waste that two years away and take a degree like LLB. Of course they also did tell me that it is okay to do whatever I like but if I do Design and all, I am sure they will be really disappointed in me...

So it'll take me bout 3 years to finish the LLB Law course if everything goes well. After 4 classes of Law, I am ever so eager and seen myself drawing more lately and I plan to learn a bit of this stuff but you could only know so much with limited resources and the amount of time you have while learning Law if what the Law students here say is true...

Can I still finish this Law course, then come out and learn Design and still be considered in the field if my work is good ?
Estimated if all goes well I'll be about 25++ and only starting out....

TL;DR : Basically I am doing Law now, and sorta learning what I can when I am free. I want to ask whether 3 years later after finishing the Law course, can I still study Design and be able to find work because of the age limit...

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I hope i get some replies. Many thanks beforehand !
