Muhahaha, my long forgotten beetle post!
Will find the time to fabricate something of why I had them here :P
Okay..so you might be wondering why on earth a girl can come up with a post like this xDD
I'd like to think of it as a personal achievement. Ja xD
I'm not a natural entomologist by any chance in that's what you have in mind. Was helping out with my brother's Biology project.
Green leaf- like grasshopper: a Microcentrum retinerve?
One of the very first ones I manage to find is this cute looking leafhopper.
Quite a big one compared to the regular pests you see.
That's what you get when you live in the jungle itself.
Supersized bugs!!!
A common rhinoceros beetle
Mmm, this one is a female friend. Round heads^^
The males have a small rhino horn on their head. Too bad I don't have a picture of them.
Found them in abundant during April. Dozens of them various sizes all over the hostel block.
Probably it's their mating season.
I clean them every 2-3days because they get dirty after all the residues of the meal.
Bathe them with tap water (I could only think of that >_<)
They'd cling tightly on my fingers and hiss loudly when I tried to pull them off.
They have this kinda Y-shaped toes which is difficult to take off once they've hooked on you.
I'll just trick them to climb onto a piece of fruit.
And my finger is free ;)
One of my personal favourite, the Rhinoceros Beetle!!!
Looks like a Chalcosoma caucasus
(Munching on a guava piece about his own size)
Muhahahaha!!!
He had the most amazing tri-horns I've ever SEEN!!
Loved him max. Pretty big guy too about the size of my palm.
His looks might be intimidating but actually he is a soft guy^^
I feed all of them beetles with fresh fruits.
Pineapples, guava, watermelon, honeydew, mango~
They will hug the fruit and start to gobble like glutton everytime I feed them.
I just love to watch them eat.
A longhorn beetle?
An interesting colourful bug I saw on the corridor during a gap between my classes.
Looks like a long horn beetle to me.
They have rather big jaws, I always wonder if they are poisonous.
I bet you can never see this in the cities alive xD
Stag Beetle: Dorcus curvidens^^
This is also my favourite beetle.
A gentle creature, I can assure you that.
Their big claws might look scary but they don't bite at all.
Handle them gently and they won't give much resistance.
See how I can place it on my hand just like that?

I was chatting with a friend recently until my Glossy White Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop made some weird crackling noises (twice!).
So, I decided to heed the friend advice to clean my laptop's fan.
Since I couldn't won't send it to the repair shop, I decided to handle it on my own.
The 3 screws (marked with star) are the ones we need to remove to get to the heatsink.
Turn the screwdriver anti-clockwise (rotate to the left side) to open.
The L-shaped cover will pop up for you.
*and remember to place your screws in a safe place coz you need to put it back later^^
After you have removed the cover, things should look like this (I hope your's too).
Now we need loosen the 4 screws (marked with red arrows).
You can move on once you feel the screw pop upwards from it's spring.
And the moment of glory~ta daa!
You can pull out the heatsink from the compartment and say 'Hello' to the dusts.
Now you can do whatever you think that is appropriate.
(I skin all the dusts and dump 'em rightaway.)
Clean the rest of the compartment -maybe the fan area (marked with white arrow).
Then, put everything back and tighten the screws properly (turning clockwise to lock).
For more info, you can also refer the Dell Support site below:
This is the most common area where dusts accumulate.
I didn't clean mine for 3years and it was as thick as the carpet.
Start up your PC and it should have alot better ventilation space now.
You should seriously clean it up if your Dell Inspiron overheats easily or shuts down on its own.

Here's a quick "cheat sheet" to help you become an expert "fur or faux" detective:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) The Feel Test
Feel the difference by rolling the hairs between the finger and thumb.
Genuine Fur: Feels smooth and soft, easily rolls between the fingers.
Fake Fur: Feels coarse.
------------------------------------------------------------------
2) The Look Test
Blow on the hairs so that they divide, and look at the base.
Genuine Fur: Often made up of several layers of thin, almost curly hairs that form a dense under-wool through which the longer hairs stick out. The hairs remain attached to the leather (skin).
Fake Fur: Simpler in structure, individual hairs are often the same length and are even in color.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) The Pin Test
Drive a pin through the base where the fur is attached.
Genuine Fur: The leather resists; pin is hard to push through.
Fake Fur: Pin goes easily through the base.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) The Burn Test (not recommended)
Carefully pull a few hairs from the fur and hold them to a flame.
Genuine Fur: Singes and smells like human hair.
Fake Fur: Melts and smells like burnt plastic and forms small plastic balls at the ends that feel hard between the finger and thumb.
