Notebook Quest

For the past 30 days, I've treated my laptop really nicely- typing with full gentleness, never ever moved it, wouldn't let the desk to quiver and even did not allow any of my friends come near it, let alone touch it. Hoho..unconditional love for my precious isn't it? Yeah.. right..

All these due to my over-sensitive laptop, yes you read it correctly, over-sensitive. It wouldn't compensate any movements done to it, coz if not, the power will cut off and wahlaaa... it just turn off! You may ask, don't you have battery to back the power up? Yes, indeed I do. But, unfortunately, the battery has worn out and already incapable of doing what it is supposed to do. Since I couldn't get the new battery here (thanks to 'world wide' service of twinhead), my brother had bought a new one for me, but another unfortunate event- the battery was designed for a different model. Yup, a wrong one! Haha..(I even can laugh at this, sorry bro!).

But, there's actually no point of getting a new batt, the power cable has long caused a big problem. Sent it off for repair, still no difference, only that my dad's pocket got slimmer. Labour cost is expensive, you know! I have to attach the cable to a very specific angle for it to work, that is, to supply the power. If it is slightly detached due to any movement, then, as I mentioned, it turned to a black screen. 'Damn!' is already an overly expressed word.

It got even worst when there's a last minute assignments or reports need to be done. To be extra cautious, I have to save my work after every four words that I've typed. It's really frustrating, but what else can I do? Also, it's a problem when it just turn off without notice in the middle of a conversation with a cute classmate on MSN..how worst can that be? Haha. Irrelevant, I know. The main point here, it is driving me nuts every day! It's already old by the way, turning four by end of this year, which definitely means I need a new notebook!

So, I did some survey since last week to find the best deal of brand new notebooks in town and on the web. Being a lil bit(ehem) of dumb a** in this technology field, I required lots of help from my peers. At least now I know about RAM and the hard drive capacity..., hehe this is major improvement you know. My learning is progressing and hopefully by the end of this quest, I'll know everything about computers..hihi..

I've surveyed notebooks from Toshiba, Acer, Compaq, Sony, Dell, Fujitsu, Mac and many more which in the end only makes me even more confused.Too many great notebooks on the market, but due to a small budget, it limits the search range, in a good way that is :) One thing for sure, I'll go the one with pink colour! (providing the price within the budget) ;)

Any good recommendations for new notebook, let me know, yah? Time for my beauty sleep, later!

Books and Breaks

wohooo... it's been what...7 months since the last entry?...

'booohooo' to my myself, another attempt to be a frequent writer just failed. So much had happened since then, but writing all of them here may take ages to finish. I'm currently having a long break..trust me..it's really long. A sentence to describe it, it makes sleeping isn't an enjoyable activity anymore. Coz I have lots, lots of it! Like yesterday, I went to bed at 11pm, finished up another John Grisham book by 12.30am and I woke up at 11am the next day, (woke up for Subuh prayer in between, of course). Almost twelve hours of sleep straight! I felt so lazy to force myself out from the cozy and warm bed, I'd rather stay in there for the whole day. I know, I know lazy bum..

By the way, since I have nothing to do at the current moment, I've borrowed many books from the library, yeah to kill the time and keeps my brain working. Different kinds of books from history, autobiography, fiction to romance. The librarian scanned the books while saying to me, 'You like to read different genres of books do you?'. Yeah I do since I'm on my holiday, I have all the time for the boring stuffs. Of course I didn't say that instead I just stood there and just managed to give her a plain smile. Too lazy to be involved in any friendly chat.

At the time being, I finished up two books and currently reading an autobiography of ' The Women of Windsor.' If you're wondering, yes it is a book that tells the tales of the royal family of the Buckingham Palace. From the Queen Elizabeth, to her daughter, another Elizabeth and Princess Margaret and Princess Anne. (Till now I still don't understand, why do they have same names to their children?). By the way, I'm only half way through the book, but the book is interesting, giving the insight of their live as the public figure. What amazed me the most is, they actually did something beneficial to the people, ie helping the war victims, HELPING and not just visiting during the war world II. Apart from that, the story goes on about, their life...when they were young, they have to find a suitable husband and when they're married, they have to save the marriage ....and it also describe how these women can hold the nation together. Hoho..big words aren't they? I spent my time reading about their lives not that I'm really interested about the royals, as the matter of fact, I love to know the lives of different people from different walks of life. The poor to the wealthy. One thing in common about these people, life is not perfect. For us, the grass is always greener on the other side, but if we're in their shoes, we might think otherwise.

Okay, I've rambled a lot here, I should get my laundry done. The sun is out bright today. Don't I love sunny days? Hehe...Later!
