If your traveling feet take you to Malaysia and you're a tech enthusiast, Low Yat Plaze would be the best place for you to visit.

I've heard that you can get the cheapest gadgets from there. No, I haven't personally gone there to buy gadgets for myself but I have heard from friends about it.

My husband even told me about how cheap Low Yat Plaza is, when in comes to techie stuff.

Facebook, Why Do I Love Thee?

I love facebook. I plead guilty of ending up in facebook when I'm online... and I'm online most of the time. I love the fact that I can get my friends' update. It's the second best thing in the internet. Of course, paid blogging comes first. Who wouldn't disagree?

I love the fact that I can do fun things in facebook, take quizzes and compare results with friends who love taking quizzes as well.

I love the fact that it reconnects long lost friends. I have friends whom I haven't seen for more than 20 years and suddenly asking my permission to be added on my friends' list.

But of course, I love internet as a whole. Too many things to do, too little time. It's a good thing that hubby is not around. I can spend more time searching and surfing the net. Sky's the limit, they say which I believe of course. You can search for just about anything. i.e., insurance online, investment, education, and tips on setting up whatever you wanna set up. Like I said, sky's the limit. When hubby's around of course, I have to limit my time with the computer.

I wanna say again, though... my favorite past time in the internet is to log in to my facebook and blogging.

New Laptop

I need a new laptop. The one I am using will have to go off soon. To where? To Pakistan. It's supposed to be given to one of the workers in Pakistan. I have been using it for a while now... well, after my laptop crashed and the computer guy said it would be expensive to fix it might as well buy a new one. Now I am scouting for a new laptop, not that I can afford to buy one. Well, I just window shopped for a computer to find out which computer I would like to have. You never know... God might send somebody again my way and decide to bless me with a laptop. I saw this red Sony Vaio. It does look really cool. And I saw others which were cool too. The problem with window shopping is that you would get confused with the selection. There are just too many to choose from. But of course, you can narrow down the selection by choosing which type you need and which type suits you the best.

If you can remember how I blogged my hubby's (and my) laptop... His IBM notebook crashed. The computer guy said there's problem with the motherboard and if he fixed it, we might as well buy a new one coz it was very expensive. Since then my hubby has been using friend's notebook. But last month, somebody told us they were gonna give him a new notebook. So last Saturday, we went to see that friend because the notebook was ready. It's a very impressive IBM (Lenovo) thinkpad T60 R series. You just swipe your finger to turn it on... which means no need to type your password... and which means you cannot use it without my fingerprint. It's fun.

Our friends has been in computer business for awhile now. And they get all the latest gadgets one can find. They have really been blessed because of their generosity... in which, also, makes us, the receivers, very blessed. We are really blessed by them. Early this year, they gave us the Sony Cyber-shot digital camera also... which I use nowadays to take photos for my blogs. And now, the IBM lenovo R series. It's quite sleek and leightweight. Oh... I sooo love it! Thank God for using these friends' lives to bless us with such cool notebook. I also wonder if these friends ever have POS systems for their business. They need it so badly for their customers. Anyways... I am just grateful for the early Christmas gift. It's awesome. God is awesome.

M notebook is back. The memory has been upgraded so it's quite fast now. I can also watch movies without it stopping in the middle of the movie. The computer guy who fixed our notebooks was a very good guy. However, peter's notebook has totally crashed. the problem was with the motherboard. They can fix it but the computer guys suggested to just buy a new one. We asked him for his recommendations and he said Toshiba Satellite notebooks are very good ones. Now I wonder if we could afford this one though. Looks sleek and durable. Will have to ask other friends' opinions.

finally, i have it back

my computer is finally back, up and running. it has never been this fast. i have upgraded its memory and had the power plug changed. i've been having problem with this computer since i got it 1.5 years ago. thank God it's working well now. it used to be very slow it took 30 minutes to 1 hour just to switch it on. same thing with switching it off. that's why i usually put it on stand by mode (although my Linksys router is on all the time) when i don't use it so when i wanted to use it again, it's easier to turn it on and easier to reconnect to internet too.

it's me,

before my husband left for KK (kota kinabalo, east malaysia), i thought i was going to be internet deprived for 4 days. my notebook was locked when unknowingly, my girl reached for it and pressed whatever keys she was pressing that caused the cursor to lock. i tried opening, shutting down, re-opening and reshutting down just to know whether to check the cursor. but nothing happened. and so the good news came when my husband was preparing to go. i simply opened my notebook and and suddenly, it worked! but then it took forver to open it. i know i should increase its ram (random access memory). that would be my next project.

I Am Ranting Again

If you've been following my posts, you would notice that I rant so much about my notebook. It is super slow in its speed. Opening it up takes forever to do. Like I'm still in Flinstones Age (actually not coz there was no computers on that era yet - hehehe - just exaggerating a bit). A friend told me that her husband did something to make their computer work fast, like putting half of the memory to the D drive and half of the memory to the C drive (we have the same notebook brand and model). Now I wonder how in the world can I do that. I'm technically better than my husband but it doesn't mean I know everything about techie stuff. I think the best thing to do is extend my computer's memory. But for now, I think I may have to store my files in some usb flash drives. Suggestions, anybody?

Rants About My Notebook

I've been ranting so much about my notebook computer. I know I need a new one. Hehehe. Lord, are you listening? Not with my rants, but with the new notebook I've been wanting. Hahaha. I've so much to talk about my notebook. It worked well last time. Now it's super duper slow. My husband's notebook is also becoming very pathetic. Not because it's slow but because our girl had taken out some of the keys already. It's good that we memorized which letters to find where. A friend promised to give my husband a new notebook. I hope it's true. I hope.

My Laptop and Gadgets

It is really becoming very pathetic. My laptop is. It is super slow. Actually it has 80GB in its memory but when my friend checked, there's only 40GB available. Was I cheated? I took out all my files and uninstalled a lot of installers but still, it's super slow. Maybe I need to buy or extend its memory, what do you think? I've been looking at some computer products online and look what I found: HDMI and they have such cool gadgets for computers.
