Compressing Outlook PST

It took about 1 week for me to finally clear out my old company's mailbox.
Size was like super, duper, gigantic huge... say 2GB? 1000 mails unread?

I finally cleared all the unnecessary emails, esp notification emails and daily/weekly/monthly reports.
I took a look at my C:\Documents and Settings\mleong2\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook, and it was no way to even burn all those into the disk or at least transfer the data to my pc at home. That's like crazie.

So, i started deleting and deleting and deleting.
Some file size decreased, after shutting down and all. Some psts remained huge.
WHAT TO DO ah??

Thanks to google.com. I started searching for the method and finally was adviced to use the "Compress" button.
Pretty useful!

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

An afternoon at Dannok

Living at the northern side of Malaysia makes it really convenient and easy to go 'overseas'. For us, going to our neighboring country, be it Thailand or Singapore by land or by flight is really easy. I'm always a fan of Thai food, and with the remaining Thai bahts that I had since my last Bangkok trip (which I didn't finish even crossing the border a couple or times), I decided to go Dannok for FOOD again. So, it's a day trip or rather, half day tour to Dannok For the past few weeks, I was searching for insta / blog /facebook posts if there is any other new hangouts in Dannok, but sadly, I couldn't find many bloggers who write about it. The funny part is, I already blogged about it two years ago. The immigration complex in Malaysia is new. I nearly couldn't recognize it, while passing to get our passport checked. As I didn't want to drive over, we parked our car at the Zon Duty Free. As I entered, I took the wrong ticket (which parking rate is RM3...
