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...

Office in Weekend= Library in Unim

Spend some of my weekend hours in the office. Nostalgically, this scenario reminds me back at the days when I visited the library. Spent the 1st 30 mins fiddling books, and the remaining hours chatting with friend, surfing internet while waiting for friends call to go for a short (like 40 mins) tea break outside the university. And now, I'm waiting for colleagues' call to head for cinema.. tickets bought already anyway. Life in Miri is much more easy going than in KL. Office is just 5 minutes away from my home, cinema/ town 15 minutes from office. No jam, more time, but lack of crazy funny stuff to do. Hope my boss don't see this... ahaha..just kidding but hey, isn't today Saturday?!

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...
