I am having a Acer desktop for rendering and Ecotect.
To allow Lumion to work, I need to upgrade my graphic card as the machine is having some memory problem, even with my 12G RAM installed. I guess it should be the graphic card problem.
Some online findings here:

I own an property in Singapore now~
Amazing step forward after graduation.
Finally, my first property and it is in Singapore.
I have do DIY the wall painting, the cleaning, the fixing, the installing of all furniture since they are all from IKEA.
And today I bought a silicone sealant to overlay it over the gaps of the toilet doors after cleaning up the mold.
Too lazy to remove the old sealant.
I found a website after doing the DIY sealant. Very useful and informative site:-
UK.D-I-Y. Cool~
"This web site contains a compendium of Frequently Asked Questions from the newsgroup and some of the better answers that have been posted to them. It also contains links to the more recently introduced DIY WIKI project (a DIY, DIY FAQ if you like - like other wiki projects, anyone can edit the WIKI - not just a formal administrator or maintainer)." to find out more...

Opening Times at Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle is a working castle, used for many ceremonial and state occasions and weekend home of the Queen through most of the year. The basic opening hours are:
March to October - 9:45a.m. to 5:15 p.m. (last admission 4p.m.)
November to February - 9:45p.m. to 4:15p.m. (last admission 3 p.m.)
There are quite a few days when all or part of Windsor Castle is closed to visitors.
To avoid disappointment, check the 24-hour information line - +44 (0)1753 831118- before planning a visit.

Top Tips for Families:
The only restrooms and baby changing facilities are down some stairs to the left of the Audio Tour Counter. The Castle covers 26 acres and it’s a long way back so a pre-visit pit stop is a good idea - especially for children.
Other than some ice cream and bottled water on the North Terrace, snacks or meals are not available in the Castle grounds and you can't bring a picnic. Windsor is a busy little market town, though, and there are plenty of pubs and inexpensive restaurants close by. Before you leave the the Castle precincts for a meal, pick up a free re-entry band from one of the Castle shops.
Free Family Activity Trail leaflets are available from the visitor center. They're full of things to do, quizzes and games to engage young visitors. During school vacations and weekend, the Castle also offers a schedule of family activities and events at the Education Center. Find out more about what's coming up next."
