Before you are thinking of replacing your rotary type shaver blades, you can try to sharpen them first. This is how you can sharpen your rotary shaver blades with a mirror and a little bit of abrasives or metal polisher. Below is a YouTube video that shows you how to do it. If you don't have a high speed internet, you can refer to the screenshots below the video. How-to YouTube Video by Robert A. Edinger Step by Step Screenshots Take all the rotary blades out from the shaver head. You can use any mirror as long as it is a flat surface mirror. Use a little polishing paste and put it on the mirror. Face the blade down to the mirror with the polishing paste. Move the blade in circular motion so that the polishing paste can polish the blade which means sharpening it. Sharpen or polish the blade till the polishing paste turned grey. This is the comparison between the non-sharpened (left) and sharpened (right).

How big a deal is compound interests? Can I double my savings in 10 years time without doing anything with it? Based on the current CIMB Bank Berhad Fixed Deposit interest rate (16 June 2016), by using a Compound Interest Calculator, I had calculated how much would I get in return after 10 years based on an initial RM10,000 deposit, no addition and varying the tenures of FD maturity. From the table below, it's clear that you cannot double your saving in 10 years time due to current low interest rates. You will need at least 7% to 8% per annum of interest rate to double your savings using compound interests. Tenure 1mth 2mths 3mths 6mths 12mths Interest Rate 3.15% 3.25% 3.30% 3.40% 3.70% Total Principal after 10 years 13,696.94 13,828.17 13,890.86 14,009.38 14,380.95 Interest Gain ($) 3,696.94 3,828.17 3,890.86 4,009.38 4,380.95 Interest Gain (%) 36.97% 38.28% 38.91% 40.09% ...

This is how to rip a DVD movie and convert it to either MKV file or MP4 file with compressed video  and audio data (smaller file size). Personally I prefer to convert it to MKV format as I can embed the multiple channel of language audio and subtitles that are already available in the DVD itself. Software tools needed: MakeMKV Handbrake Operating System:  Windows Steps: Use MakeMKV to extract out the video, audio and subtitles data from the DVD to a mkv file. This extraction will take around 20 minutes to complete and expect that the file size of this file is the same as the DVD. This is because there is no compression of the video and audio data yet. Use Handbrake to convert the DVD extracted mkv file to either mp4 or maintain mkv file format with compressed video and audio data. Depends on the settings of Handbrake, it might took as long as 2 to 3 hours for conversion. Make sure that you choose the desired language audio channel to be in the converted file. Make sure that yo...

I just got a very special smartphone casing for my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. This casing is not just a casing because it has a built-in 4800mAh power bank. So the convenience of having a built-in power bank smartphone casing is not having to lugged a separate bulky power bank while charging the smartphone. Before I order this from eBay, there is not much reviews that talks about the details of this casing that matters to me such as "Will it have data connection while the phone is using the casing?". Most of the reviews are un-boxing reviews which are rubbish. Below is the list of my  findings on this casing and hopefully it will benefit anyone who is planning to buy this. Anyway, I went ahead and order this casing out of necessity where my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 battery will not last me through the day any more after due to daily recharging for more than a year. My reviews: It charges my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 pretty fast. From 50% to 100% takes about 1/2 hour. The casing does not...
