Laptop don't live long??

Well even though we all kinda know this but we have been hopping that it might, with some care and blessing from God, that it can live a little bit longer~ then i read this.... shud i rejoice that my laptop gonna celebrate it's 3rd b'day soon? (and hopeful the 4th next year)

The article said:" in the first three years of ownership, nearly a third of laptops (31 percent) will fail" hmm the fail here mean, send in for repair or die, cos if send in to repair then yeah, me, Siew mo, ZW, Ed, Angela all done that, Vanya's HP gonna visit one or kena discard soon (rich people that one, crazy a bit edi gonna change it, not like us kena struggle - send it to repair hoping to pull him/her back from the gate of scrap metal)

"Some highlights about how, why, and which laptops fail:

> 20.4 percent of failures are due to hardware malfunctions. 10.6 percent are due to drops, spills, or other accidental damage.

> Netbooks have a roughly 20 percent higher failure rate due to hardware malfunctions than standard laptops. The more you pay for your laptop, the less likely it is to fail in general (maybe because you're more careful with it?).

> The most reliable companies? A shocker: Toshiba and Asus, both with below a 16 percent failure rate due to hardware malfunction.

> The least reliable brands? Acer, Gateway, and HP. HP's hardware malfunction rate, the worst in SquareTrade's analysis, is a whopping 25.6 percent.

Want to keep your notebook running for longer than a few years? Ensure your laptop is as drop-proofed as possible (use a padded bag or case, route cords so they won't be tripped on, lock children in another room), and protect it as best you can from heat and dust."

Okie i probably agree with expensive one last longer cos we sayang it more the $$ eh, so maybe i shud had throw in a couple more hundred in and get myself a Sony?? but of cos i sayang my Acer even though it's not as expensive as Sony's, i broke the Cd/DVD thing which is probably not my fault, i mean come on before the flight, it play music just fine, after some x-ray, it die, didn't even drop it, heat it etc Now the typical 'old' pc problem lah, getting slow, webcam die for no reason (didn't even use it leh), then some software, most noticeable one, the burn cd programme jst go crazy itself and require to reinstall everytime i wanna use it, darn it~ The slowness probably indicating i need a bigger ram, i mean i edi do whatever i can inside to make it fast, after seeing Angela's toshiba, i feel so much better now, at least my Acer is way faster hahaha~ but now balik using the home new pc, aiyoh Acer lagging lah~ i gave up... as long as it don't slow till cannot do anything, i jst live with it like that lah, the more i fix the more gila it get later

Anyway back to the article and apparently, Acer is in the list of unreliable!! and Toshiba one, don't really get that sentence, mean it's reliable or not, what's the shocking refer? (oh no my englrissh is gone bad liao~) Looking at Lala's toshiba, i still think my Acer better than her's leh~ and hmm... Compaq and Dell not on the list, maybe i should try Compaq and Dell next time? but dell kinda boring lah the design.... as for HP eh no comment... Asus i heard it's cheap if we go buy in taiwan, and made in taiwan forever sound better than made in china lah~ no this is not bias, it's the fact for electronic goods from my past experience, whatever make in china just die faster, like my mp3s. Now am using Made in Korea one, quite nice :P but no more made in korea phone for me, my LG is stupid! Vanya's LG make both of us a bit extra sensitive to the silence on phone cos her phone always secretly cut the line itself! It's sucks when it make u go on and on talking for another 2-3 mins before u discover the other is not listening cos the line is cut! (off topic again~)

The advice, the first one can easily done if exercise with care, as for the heat, kinda impossible if we are in Malaysia and don's have aircorn (for those live in dorm) or don have $$ to open aircorn all day~ me belong to use fan in daytime kinda people. As for dust, eh me pretty sure my laptop is full of it, and there's nothing i can done here, blame the pollution.

Tadaima - at home

hmm... i think my life pace has been very very relaxing and slow ever since the exam till suddenly in sibu, mum drag me out at 9am, go do this and do that, go here and there make me feel like tulang mau patah, plus i haven't really have more than 5 hours sleep since last tue because of the exam, the heat and the flight. Consequent: i very sleepy edi since 7pm jst now even though i slept 10 hours yesterday @_@

First, after get off plane, been drag to go eat lunch outside at some random kopitiam in Rejang park. Then sunday, get wake up at 9am for usual sibu people sunday breakfast in koptiam~ There's this new cafe in the old pedada which i think call Dom cafe or sth, i order the moonlight kue tiaw thing (moonlight because got a raw egg on the top), that one quite nice, but very oily till i kinda thing my stomach feel a bit eee~ after that, remember to order a drink to go with it, try their coffee, quite nice :P recommend for people who enjoy kao kao kopi only~ Then we go Delta mall to buy printer. Our old printer is too old that my mum new pc cannot use it, it use those old big plug like the monitor. We bought the Canon MP198, the price also Rm198 @_@ Canon have promotion now so we can go online register and get 3 year warranty for free instead of 1, not bad lah~ That printer similar with the one i buy in melb, but mine is more shinny hahaha~ the tauke/shop person who sold it is not very nice though, mum said she never wanna buy anything from them anymore, so yeah that shop is in mum's blacklist now hehe~

Anyhow, go home is eat eat eat, got rambutan, got durian, all desperately need to be finished... somehow it kinda become quite 'suffering' lah to have to force to eat haha, not that i don't like the food, it jst it suddenly become suffering when it become obligation to eat T_T plus i think stomach shut down edi after exam period, i don't really eat for the last 2 month leh, suddenly have to eat so much in one time is.... i enjoy eat... chiewing non-stop... little and little at a time lah...

Many stuff need to do, haven't even unpack yet, my death sentence shall be revealed on 4th dec noooo.... Time pls stop~ let me have some Me time first!!

Tadaima - my flight

Stupid Melbourne weather, as soon as i leave the temp drop and become nice and cool again.... It was sooo hot on Friday morning, hot till i woke up at 8am and could never go back to sleep~ but then a gust of strong wind came at around 2pm, bringing blessing shower to the grilled land, suddenly temp drop back to 28... Friday was a tired day for me, busy doing the final packing cos had to go airport at 8am that night for my 0045 flight. (i went early)

Anyhow, the airport was soo packed and since the counter was yet open for check-in so i sat on some chair where i can see the reflection of the board where it show where to check-in and boarding time daydreaming and playing with my Ds. The counter for Mas that day was kinda at the corner and there's no chair around there, takkan i go sit on the floor boh~ but ah i should have do online check in first or go line up from the start cos the Q was soooo long + the sign somewhere said "Domestic" and so for a while me and the girl in front of me was wondering is this line for Mas?? i think i line up for at least half and hour there or more but since i was talking with the girl in front, who was from Kelantan, so i don't really felt the time passing.

After i finished check in, i parted with the girl and go find Claudia who's taking the 1 sth Cathay airline to HK. Found her quite easily hehehe~ and thank god for Claudia cos THE STUPID AIRPORT PEOPLE IS WEIGHTING MY LUGGAGE + HANDBAG!! i thought airline all said we all can bring 3 piece of luggage and they only weight the small luggage not PLUS handbag! Claudia was not checked cos she bring 2 small hangbag instead of the typical small hand luggage with the wheel. So i went back out with claudia, put my wallet, my DS, Camera to Caludia bag and manage to get thru, that guy must be thought i stuff them into my laptop bag cos this time he weight it too, too bad, 5kg, cannot kick me out again! annoying person that guy, with that unfriendly attitude! Go die! (angeline evil, cursing mode ON) said what boh, my airline very strict, go eat shit lah, i ask Mas N time and they assure me they shud not weight my handbag or laptop.

Then, the x-ray, hmm they forgot to ask me about liquid item and i also forgot about that after that annoying guy. Oh well, the x-ray can tell i don't have anything 100ml and can be use to bomb plane. Then me and Claudia go sit near my boarding gate and talk a bit before i remember me still got many $$ in my phone and so i called up Vanya to complain and give her word of warning cos she has a SLR, if her bag is around 6-7 edi, plus the SLR + their accessories in her handbag, 100% 10kg edi. Then we go on and on talking crap, while Claudia suddenly addict playing Cooking mama 2 on my ds.

A group of indian with strong smell come around and claudia who has sensitive nose almost pensang from the smell so we have to change seat. (thank god my nose is not sensitive to body odor, if i sense any, then seriously that's bad edi hahaha maybe final stage edi the smell) Then mum text me, then Angela called and yes the 1hrs + before boarding i was kinda busy hahaha

The flight was delayed for 15 minutes to wait for some @#$% to get on. When we finally took off the journey was very bumpy, they have to serve our usual 1 sth breakfast later cos of that (why they said it's hot food ah, it's sandwich + muesli bar niah boh) and also boredom is the key of discovery, i just realize we don't have word in malay for turbulence leh, they can only said 'cuaca kurang memuaskan" hmm.... i was quite sleepy when i got on the flight deh, but then cos i know i would be wake up for the food not long after i don't feel like sleeping yet and so i watched X-men origin. After eaten i edi pass that very sleepy state, end up very bersemangat... so i watch 2 ep of House before i went sleep.

When i woke up edi 7am (aus time), time for the second breakfast~ they served nasi lemak or scramble egg but somehow that steward read my mind and only asked me "u want scramble egg?" hahaha directly skip the nasi lemak option ah~ oh well local flight also got nasi lemak~ we got to KLIA at 6.10am, me go see see perfume price before go enjoy Frappe at Starbuck. Wireless in airport very louya leh, can connect but lost signal fast, cie~ so i go main with my DS. Leave starbuck at 7.30am to the domestic flight terminal and daydream there for a while before taking the 8.50am flight back to Sibu. Kinda sleep all the way with my mp3 hehe~

Ps: i also watch 3/4 of Julie and Julia (or is it the other way round) and transformer 2 rewatch without the sound since they collect the headphone edi from us~

Cafe Giraffe


Been wanting to go this cafe since long long ago, finally able to drag Vanya to go with me muahaha, wanting to go here cos i heard/read from other people's blog saying the design of the cafe is really good, the food are nice and the price is reasonable too.

So i went google the address and gosh! this cafe is located right next to where i used to live 2 years ago! (BE, it's right next to our apartment!) From outside it look quite plain lah cos u only see a bar/counter thing, but when u walk inside, it feel like home! it's like IKEA!! (okay lah many of those stuff/furniture are clearly from IKEA) so nice, so pretty, just like the kind of home that i always wanted! (but of cos not the mismatch chair and table part, my mum gonna go crazy if she saw my 'house' look like that)

Vanya order Bacon Carbonara + chocolate smooties and i got myself Soba with vegetarian dumpling + Italian hot chocolate (Tiramisu flavor) and it cost around $24 in total, not a bad deal eh~ and since Vanya belanja me (my very late b'day meal) so even better for me muahaha The portion is not big but good enough for us, don't really wanna eat till stomach gonna burst kinda of feeling.
The chocolate a bit too creamy for me~

When we got there, the cafe was very full (well it's kinda small in there) and our seat wasn't that nice but when we finally got our food many people had finished and leave (they serve table by table, ie they do the order bill by bill, hence u only get ur drink along with the food so it make u kinda feel like u have waited for a while. So when we finished our main dish, the nice sofa seat is empty and we hurry bring our drink and hurry to the sofa muahaha, stay there chatting and play with Vanya 1 day old Touch, gila playing the game in there hahaha (and also taking pic :P) It's hot outside mah, so we wanna stay in air corn + cosy place for a little longer, and cos it's not lunch time anymore so there's not many people in there.
Cute little Giraffe deco, people who got the table next to that tree quite unfortunate... cos kacau by the tree by trying to enjoy food hehe~
nice pocket watch @_@ the box look like something from Kiki~
The bottle soo nice and cute~
I love this corner~

This cafe is really homey feel and make u wanna stay there whole day :P, the food is not bad too and yesh i like the decoration there more than the food hahaha so the only reason that make me wanna go there again is 100% cos of the atmosphere in there NOT the food though i must admit i feel like i must go back there again and try their desserts as well next time...

2012


Another day out with Vanya and Claudia in Chadstone :P Been planning to watch this movie since long time ago now the chances~ watch during weekend is more expensive >__< caused cannot use the usual discount ticket.... one movie cost me $14.50 T_T but anyway i have a good time so it's worth it.

This movie eh, don't really have much storyline going on there but oh well not like me is anticipating the story from it. The special effect of the movie is superb, satisfying viewer wish of seeing the whole world collapses by earthquake, flooded by lava, washed by tsunami :P The movie doesn't dwell much on the facts of the matter, choosing to throw out some slightly related scientific term such as earth core heating up, solar flare, yada yada... don't mind all those scientific thingy, just watch the movie with ur brain empty and enjoy the sensation of seeing the world destroy cause u know when that did happen, we tiny human in this world can never get to witness it as we probably got 'Kaboom' at some point of the time if that ever happen in our lifetime, while still dunno what's going on~ so let's enjoy 'the world' destruction there :P

As for character in the movie, eh not much feeling ahaha all i know is this person die, that person also die, die die die, but the main one of caused survived, along with the one he most desperately wanna save.

(yale, yale, what sort of review is this... hehehe)

Chemical dangers in sunscreen?

Now these caused concerned. We are applying sunscreen to help lower the risk of skin cancer here so what's the point of doing that if the cream itself is going to give us cancer!!

This article began with stating that Australian's workship the sun.... seriously i can never understand ang mo... what's the fun of been BBQ/Grill/roasted by that burning sun that literally give u sunburn if u stay under sun unprotected for half an hour or more (by this i mean u stay stationary and get cooked there) Sunbath under UV level that can go above 8-10 is suicidal! (these few days the UV level in melb at 9am-5pm is around 12, rated as extreme edi, can't go out without applying sun cream, i still prefer to remain in my current skin color thank you~

Anyhow, the article ask us to look out for these chemical in our sun cream:
Benzolalcohol, BHA {Butylatedhydroxyanisole}, Butyl {methoxydibenzoylemethane}, Diazolodinyl Urea, Dimethicone, Diasodium edta, Ethanol, Homosalate, hydroxybenzoates {parabens}, Methylisothiazolinone, 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor, Octorcrylene, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Octyl Salicylate, Oxybenzone, Phenoxyethanol, Polysorbate 20, Titanium Dioxide, Triethanolamine.

I browse through my Banana Boat ingredient, so far so good, no traces of the chemical listed above inside, safe~

Chadstone

Since am posting picture here liao might as well post the new renovated part of Chadstone, esp for Be hehe

This is the old part Swarovski has the best renovation :) very shinny and pretty, just like their product hahaha it's located directly above the lindt cafe

The new part don't look that much different lah really~Now Chadstone is getting more and more unaffordable for us with more branded shop opened here, even LV, CK (more expensive one) gonna open a store here, this place gonna be another Collin st.... but oh well in some way it's good for my wallet hahaha cos i won't be buying anything then~ (no $$ lah) Chadstone = desserts for me nowadays hehe~

Lindt Cafe - Chadstone

Lindt cafe has been quite popular and has been open in Sydney for quite some years now and finally we have our very own Lindt cafe in Melbourne. The first one is in city, near Myer at that GPO place, (that place that sell very expensive clothes,one plain looking t shirt can cost $50-$80, not a place to go for civilian with weak heart + have wallet which were in constant diet ) that one shud have nicer atmosphere lah cos the building is nice and ancient but i never been there hehe~ I went to the one near my place, the one in Chadstone. Chadstone has been undergoing this never ending renovation since the beginning of last year and it seems like the renovation gonna to end soon with it posting about helding a Grand opening next Wed. The newly renovated wing sure look pretty and it is also where the Lindt cafe located.

The renovation of the place is very modern, very pretty, the staff a bit under trained since they serve quite slow and they clean the table very slow too even though got so many of them walk here and there deh, but overall, it's a nice place, lucky we went on weekdays so there aren't that many people hence we are been served quite okay.

I order marble cake and milk chocolate. Dine in is slightly more expensive (but not as expensive as that J cafe, at least the extra $ they charge is not worth one sushi burger lah hahaha) but yeah u r require to pay for their wash cup, plates, wipe table fee hahaha. The marble cake is kinda too sweet for me, shud have order other cake >_< onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghFoDTNdU1zgo38hd90DuD8ccsYl_hCDbt5DQX6YxH2AuA23Au-P93aPPIuSw_UEXEEsMQP_RkCenTMPB158lf0x_cu3xy1zygr9NRmIpgFUwWApAzHUoq0y85vP5bZosMQna8gInWSWAy/s1600-h/DSC00950.JPG">The chocolate milk, it's really chocolate + milk, chocolate and milk served separated hahaha mix it urself
The marble cake, u can tell it's very sweet just by looking at it hahaha
Vanya forced me to take this picture, claiming chocolate flowing down into the cup very pretty.... sorry me not that artistic enough to think it's pretty hahaha or more accurate that amount of chocolate flowing simply don't impress me

The time traveller's wife

I went to watch this movie just because i don't wanna stay at home sauna-ing. It had been dreadfully hot these few weeks, these summer sure gonna be dreadful in Melbourne cos for the past 2 years even if we do get 34-35 degree in Nov, they seldom last for whole week, this is insane~ (ps if the weather forecast said max temp is 35 then it probably 38/39 edi in reality)

Anyhow, these movie got quite unique plot. It is the love story about a man who have a genetic disorder that caused him to time travel unexpectedly. (i wonder which of his nenek moyang got this gene ah? and i would wanna see the the DNA for this gene, seriously time travel, even Doraemon need the drawer to do so) but anyway, it's kinda unique eh, to have this idea. Thanks to that time travel he's meet clare, who he married later, for few times when he time travel back to the past and they eventually fall in love. The whole story revolve around the relationship between him and Clare with Clare eventually saying "It's hard being left behind. I wait for Henry, not knowing where he is, wondering if he's okay. It's hard to be the one who stays."

Henry (the main character) somehow pass that gene to his baby causing Clare to have miscarriage but they eventually do have a baby girl. The story don't have an absolute happy ending lah but it's not bad.

The movie is a bit confusing at the start since you dunno what happen just yet, it's equally confusing for the main character as he also dunno what year and where have him time traveled to. The movie is not that excited to watch since it doesn't really have a climax, he whole story just revolve between the relationship of the couple, not really a movie for people who enjoy action/ adventure/ twisted unexpected plot kinda movie. It's just pure romance story which is very nice for me to kill my time in air-corn cinema, mah i jst want air corn from other place other than McD and library.

Absolute randomness

These are some old picture i took:

When summer just end, we sometime got this msg in supermarket explaining why the fruit and vegie they saw look so unattractive

These picture is taken at Clayton Campus center punya toilet, as you can see people are so sesak that they find happiness from written on the door of the toilet =.= even confessing their love to the beloved door, there's also contact of gay/lesbian around some wall asking fellow gay/les contact them to *ahem*


This one is the toilet in Building H in caulfield, this building is quite new + don't think people got much class there cos it's mainly staff office and graduate student building. I somehow got few tutorial in this building, everything is new but the class is too big so it's actually kinda hard to see the white board or projector if u sit way too behind, esp when u encounter tutor who wrote soo small as if she was writting for herself -_-|| anyway back to the toilet, somehow they have shower in these toilet, dunno for who, cos there's no gym in this building, the two very wide room there is the shower.

This is a picture of Full moon i snap on Mid-autumn festival day, quite nice eh~ It's quite hard to take picture of moon esp in the dark through a window... (me not that pro in taking pic lah hehe)
