Acer Aspire One D250b

Introducing my new computing device, Acer Aspire One netbook. I have been using my Compaq Presario laptop for a while now and it's time to change to something lighter so I can carry it around whenever I travel.

Specification speaking, it is not as powerful as my good ol' compaq. What do you say to Intel Atom 1.6Ghz vs Core 2 duo 1.6Ghz? Lousy maybe but this netbook costs twice cheaper than the compaq that I've bought 4 years back. This Acer is upgraded to 2 GB Ram but still, I can feel slight lagginess whenever I run Media player, Chrome, Messenger and Words.

Netbook is capable of playing some online mmorpg games. Tried SuddenAttack and suprisingly, it is still smooth but 10.0" screen will demotivate your eyes to focus on the tiny crosshair. lol

Netbook is quite fantastic if you are a 24hrs downloader. It generates very little heat compared to my compaq, which I need a cooler otherwise it will auto shutdown. It's also very gentle on electricity comsumption.

What else? Oh yea, smaller keyboard so yeah everynow and then I create typos but should be able to get used to it. Small screen is pain in the eyes if you are deprived from sleep. What's good? It's very light, only 1.2kg, very thin (even thinner than some netbooks out there).

Actually when I bought the netbook from the store, I was quite amazed by dolby sticker on the palm rest area. Little did I know, it's dolby headphone certified. Kena tipu...

Leisure Driving

I've just returned from driving around Miri. From Miri Airport bypass to Miri-Pujut road. I stopped by a bakery to ease my stomach after paying so much attention on the road. (maybe it's the brunch, not the drive..lol) When I returned home. I felt so wasted. The road is not twisty and I wasn't even in a fun hot hatch. I was doing a spirited driving in a TOWN CAR! Boring. If I were to be relocated back to KL someday, bet that I would get a car that I could appreciate the thrill of driving up to Genting once in a while for a short getaway from the city. Well, Miri aint city... there's no my claimed 'getaway' for me here. Nevertheless, my current car is a decent one, a nippy zippy town car. Just that sometimes it serves the wrong purpose. Tried hard to cope with my demand. lol. I'm not abusive of my car. I'm more of touge style that drag. I guess 2 more tyres are ready to go. In short, the car is here to stay although it did not really meet my expectation.

are you happy with your job

Are you happy with your job? Do you find yourself sighing or maybe swearing every morning you spread your arms waking up? Do you already feel sad on Sunday when you need to iron your clothes? And do you stare at the wall by your bed before sleeping on Sunday and mumbled 'here we go again'? I have been self demotivated at times thinking about my career. As a young and active graduate, I am impatient, eager, charged and so wanting to do something much more challenging in the working world. However, the role that I am assigned currently is a little reserved and pace keeping. I find myself dissatisfied for picking up things much slower than anyone else, even time catches up on me. It's a year already. I'm giving myself another period of time for the hope that things will change, get better or perhaps favors me. I admit I may be over ambitious at times but please don't kill it, I want to set to be somebody someday although I may not have the capability for such achieveme

Leaving the Comfort Zone

Picture courtesy of http://sweetanniesjewelry.wordpress.com/ There's only a few days to the end of my hotel stay, company car and free time in the company. Next week, I'll be living at Pujut 5, renting an empty room there. Getting own car, meaning the need to bear maintaneance cost, monthly repayment etc. And work wise, I think my boss is starting to hand some work. Gonna be involved in a Shell 'co-curricular' activities soon..ahahaha. You don't run away from extra work. Hahahaha! However, I'm still far from being crazily insufficient time like my fellow colleagues.. Guess I gotta be ready to step out of my comfort zone and work my career! I need motivation! As geeky as it sounds, I really need it...

somewhere there ~~
