Updates About My Holiday

Most of the time i am out of my house.
Walking around on street.

Been to Tung Ping Chau island,
it is a really remote island that need to take ferry for an hour to reach.

Each day only has very limited ferry goes in.
And a well preserved natural park.

If you have facebook should be able to see some of the photos inside.

Spent most of the time at home on google,
searching about laptop computer.

Finally bought one to replace my 6 years old x31.
And, the one is... Lenovo U110.

Bought at hkd 7980, around sgd 1507.
Come with two years warranty.

Hai, should bring along some super powerful bargain friends with mi next time...
Don't know how to bargain at all -___-!!!

The harddisk is expected to be slow,
and it is really damn slow, lolx...

See when will ssd drop till reasonable price with appropreate size,
i wanna get one but out of budget, hai~

One more year, i guess i will get it, hehe...

Bought a watch too, but compare to the laptop, it is nothing...

- - - - -

Went into China 3 times since 01May till now.
For visiting and "shopping".

Finally get a chance to see my grandma,
spent two days with her.

Glad to see her is recovering,
althought still as forgetful...

She asked my name repeatedly while happily talking to mi on bed, lolx...
Hai, no matter what, just keep smiling..

Besides, also went to shenzhen for computer parts.
Can you believe changing a chipset on mainboard cost only rmb 250?!!!

I guess i get chopped, still,
coz i am not local to them.

However, with this price,
you just can't to do anything with the hardware...

It just too crazy.

Trying to get used to my new toy's keyboard.
It is easier to adapt then i imagine.

But it feels weird that a lenovo product without the red pointer.
It is almost like a trademark, and they forsake it. Hai~

So far, it is still a good machine, extreme light weight.
But black out of stock, end up i get the red edition, damn bright, ha...

Still doing testing, tml will restore to factory default again and create an image of it...
Going to be a freaking long day with the 1.8inch hard disk....... lolx.

Not yet decided whether to use windows 7 RC or not.
A bit scare about the software compatibility issue.

Scare when the new academic year starts, it wont be able to run certain program.
But it is extremely tempting due to its performance, far much better than the visita loaded on this machine.

It will take few days for mi to decide...
Anyway, still need to get it totally backup first before i can play anything.

Busy days ahead...

Hi, this is Rafael from Mexico. I read your blog it is very interesting how you think. I am working right now as an IT consultant, I just laughed a little how the backups and tech issues messed your thoughts. So do them for me lol. Damn tech...somehow is great isn't it?...

One last thing, your post on the life cycle is nice and the one about everyone being different is more fun, it somehow moved me...you know? I just can't understand that these days, I can't accept the world being different of what I think, but your post helped me and maybe I'll make it just fine.

I hope you post your thoughts and maybe I can share with you some things I have also noticed. Well, have a great day and enjoy your new laptop. You have earned it man!!
