Cracking the Not-So-Tough Maya~

Several people have been telling me that they have problems running maya after installing~ Most of them i'm sure, its because of the MAC address thingy right?

It's actually quite easy =)

1 After installing Maya, go to Start >> All Programs >> Autodesk >> Common Utilities >> FlexLM utilities

















2 In the LMtools, under System Settings tab, the Ethernet Address is what you are looking for =D

Olimpik Di Beijing

Who says Malay songs are uncool~?

This is the official Malay version of the Summer Olympic Song - Olimpik Di Beijing ~

Not only the popular Malay artists are featured (Maya Karin, Jaclyn Victor, Ning Baizura, David Arumugam (Allycats), Faizal Tahir and Pop Shuvit) ... but joining these stars are our overseas based acts - Micheal Wong 王光良, Penny Tai 戴佩妮, Gary Cao Ge 曹格 and Daniel Lee 李吉汉 amongst many others. Yes, these Chinese stars are singing in Malay!



Below are the lyrics if you plan to sing along~ XDDDD

Originial Olimpik Di Beijing lyrics:

Setiap yang bertanding
Berkawan dan seiring
Menanti gemilang detik
Olimpik!

Mendaki puncak cita
Dengan tekun usaha
Tak mudah berputus asa

Di bumi indah ini
Bergemanya Olimpik
Kita berganding tangan
Mengeratkan perhubungan

Chorus:
Olimpik di Beijing
Menyatukan kita
Langit indah Beijing yang terbentang
Menyambut mesra kedatangan

Welcome to Beijing
Dengan hati yang terbuka
Untuk dunia
Yang aman dan sentosa


RAP: Menanti cita-cita walaupun apa sekali halangan dia
Dari manapun kita
Tiada yang berbeza
Semuanya bersaudara

Yang kalah dan yang menang
Jadikan pengalaman
Yang penting semangat juang

Di bumi indah ini
Bergemanya Olimpik
Kita berganding tangan
Mengeratkan perhubungan

Repeat Chorus x3

Welcome to Beijing
Yang aman dan sentosa
