In loving memory of my beloved wife

Tonight I tried the GPS and apparently I can lock on to the GPS satelites and transform the dell mini9 to be a 9" gps device. The only drawback is the signal strength may not be optimized and or require further enhancement or some form of antenna.

So far so good. I can really mobile with this little wonder now.

This is really worth for money finally

I am blogging with the newly arrived Dell Mini 9 with the built in mobile broadband connection on a crippled Celcom broadband. The connection line is rather slow and always drop off. I could never get the advertised 384Kbps download speed but only at 1.2KBps even connected with HSPA. Although of the speed bump, I am still satisfied but annoy because of the waiting...

The mini9 somehow drain battery faster than my previous experience (without the build in broadband) The battery just cannot last longer than 2 hours. I started noticing that even in standby mode drain battery faster than other lappy. This make the mini 9 not really a feasible option for mobility because of this issue then.

When checking for any similar complaints online, I stumbled into a post of which the dell mini 9 indeed included a GPS chip which is hidden and disabled by Dell. After some driver install and uninstall, I managed to have the GPS port enabled. Wow... a little wonder for all the wireless connection needed.

If I manage to run it with Garmin then I will post up the step by step. All these follow up only possible when I arrived back home then.

The little one has always exhibited some talent in innovation. This round, he demonstrate with his ability to create with lego. He innovented a beetle bug like figure from the lego and I kind of like it so much that I had it placed beside your protrait so y0u can see his art works.

They are fast asleep tonight as they were eagerly waiting to go for the holiday when the morning break later. The elder one has always requested to go to the hill top for fun and so we are going to the Genting soon. The Genting was also a trip for two of us.. We also had spent quite some repeated tours up there with concerns, gambles, theme park etc.

The elder one remembered that he always with you together and so he is asking you to come along and I will not reject this idea at all.

There after the trip, we will descent to KL for another day and I will make full use of this time to trade for a Macbook Alum at a specially bargain price. Tonight as well, I received the WWAN version of Dell Mini 9. This is the 2nd time I owned this model. Now is mainly because it has upgraded to SIM card broadband ready at an excellent price tag of RM1099. Indeed I had order three sets.

It is a great machine and i am looking forward to transform the mini 9 into MacMini with Mac OSX. I believed next monday i will load it with the different OS.

Somehow, I resumed my once forgotten hobby... PC setup, sales and service. Only different was that now is laptop and netbook centric. Indeed, for the the last 10 days of silence moment from blog, I was busy in this fun again.

I have 5 laptops and 1 Macbook with me at one time. The setup and installation of XP/ Vista indeed costed most of my times. Of all of course the setup of Vista on Macbook is the greatest joy of all. There is no IBM compatible Laptop really comes closed to Macbook. No... But, Bill I am sorry. I am in love with Mac.

Nevertheless, the beauty of the Macbook with dual system immediately drew attention from my friend who without hesitated forcefully grab my Macbook away and paid me on spot. I could only wave goodbye to the Mac... I was also bad enough to influence another friend of mine to indulge in the Macbook arena. This costed him ~RM4k and he proclaims great affinity of preference of Macbook over Windows. It was also fun that we teleconference to have the Macbook dual boot system with XP.

Now it left only two low end laptop at my room and I was still busy searching for the Mac...and a mac replacement. I am trying the installation of Mac OSX onto a laptop. The download will take another few days and I shall believe I could install the Mac OSX onto my new toy...the Dell Mini9. But first of all, I will need to upgrade it to 16G SSD. This will be the fun for the month of June.

I am also eyeing on Macbook Alum and Air...if not the price are over RM6k... i could have just spend then... But I am always cautious...

I had been away from the net for at least 10 days. Not online for MSN, Facebook, Blogging etc. All because of a white Mac issue. I fall in love in Mac!
I believed I was introduced to Apple when I was still a kid at around form 2 age. It was named as Macintosh and the design was so unique as it was the first time I was introduce to world of computing. Then after I do not have chance to have my hands on it till now. Wintel solution of PC was so much copycat and there is no such thing call design in PC world. Sony may be is another optional in PC world as it is still unique in some sense.
Well, I had been trying to get myself familiar with Leopard OS at my age. Install and reinstallation to experience the OS. Third party software and compare them to their PC cousins.
After 1 week, I will declare that Windows, you are really far far behind and I just avoid to comment about the hardware then.
Mac, it is a salute for me to you.

I will be back!

I began the week with a funny incident. I went to office as normal after the normal chores of having to the school and nursery. However, I was so careless that I did not bring the suitcase and the laptop to office. And so I was bare-handed for the morning. This also marked the first time where I am such absent minded. I could only amused myself for this.

It was also this Monday that I received a so called reminder letter from a legal firm that I am having a debt of over two thousand of unsettled phone bill. It was amazing as I was totally unaware of such bad debts. After visit to the telekom(another unpleasant event as it requested me to come back due to system hang...) and I was clear that it was the last phone which I did not cut off after the biz had been shifted handed to a friend. And so even the business eventually close-off, the friend did not cut off the service or bother to have the line cut off and so the monthly fixed cost would accumulate. The friend called me apologizing the incident but I could not agree anymore of resolving the matter with myself paying first the debts. I would first try to have the incident appeal for a reduction of payment if possible as of why telekom did not cut off the line even after 3 months or 6 months or a year after no usage of the phone. I would need the friend to pay me first with the last and final figure of debt. This Friday... I would return to the shop again and hopefully the system will not hang then.

It was also Monday that i added another mini laptop or netbook to my list.. it was the Toshiba NB100. But soon after, I still perfer my sony vaio p. and so it would be in the list of sale.

Tuesday, the elder said he would like to buy white carnition for you on the event of mother day. This reminded me that this sunday would be a day for mother. The kids remembered.

So, the mother of the kids, do you know that your kids remembered. I am still on and off testing their memory of you. They are and continue are having a good memory of you. The little one still is still drawing a family with members of four. One of them has long hairs and it is you, my sooking

It was still drizzling outside when I parked the car after sending the elder to school. It was too early yet for the little one to be awaken. And so I could not help myself but to rest lazy on the bed with the mini laptop on my dummy browsing the web. It was really convenience for me as the tiny lappy can rest on my dummy without feeling any weight. Cool!

All of sudden, I wanted to login to your gmail account... and so I did.

I cried.... when I read back the emails I sent you last year. You were not reading them and I did not know if you would be able to do so. I browsed further and I read those mails when I was at state in 2006. We seldom had email exchange as we lived in the same house...but now I missed these so much as these really served as my memory.

The eyes were filled with tears and I still feeling the same as you were just not around 8 months ago.

I may have a new life now and soon, but the memory of not having you around will not be as easy as simply pressing the delete key for me and I will not choose to forget. You are my dearest wife.

Thursday night, I drove to Penang on an occasion to help a friend of mine to move back from Pg back to Ipoh. It was not ill 8.45pm I reached the Penang bridge. I, however under estimated the traffic jam on the bridge. And of course, I had been out of the island since 2006 and there has been a lot of changes to Penang as well. I finally arrived at the hotel at 45minutes later before too late to meet Stephen. He was the usual one with "rocky" costume and punky hairs... nothing too much to describe him. We then headed to Gurney for our dinner (actually I was staying at G Hotel) before I shown him with my GF...Sony Vaio P. He recently bought a HP mini and it was clearly not a closed contender to Sony Vaio P. Finally, I have something fancy to show him and make him "depressed"

On Friday morning, I drove to his new home. And on the way, I must passed by our last home, Springfield. On the few last visit to Penang, I did not passby these areas... and immediately, all memories rushed back soaking my eyes with tears uncontrollably. Those were the times we spent at the apartment and surrounding, grocery buying, fisherman grill's dinner, char kaoyteow, chicken rice etc. You were always the one buying breakfast and some fresh vege on every Sunday while the elder and I were still on the bed. It was really painful to have these remembered!

I swifted my focus to reach Stephen's home and so I could divert my attention to his fancy self designed rennovation home. It was really a grand house with personal taste and likings. I admire the office area. Great job! If you were with me, you would be teasing Stephen similarly as I did. You basically share almost the same home liking as I did.

It was already 5pm before I reached Ipoh. Although I planned to have a nap as along the way, I was kind of a dead fish if there was a bed at front. However, the black Sony Xperia 1 really caught my attention, although it was 2nd time I used this phone. I flashed it to wm6.5 before finally I could take a 15-minute nap.

It was a nightmare Saturday as I would need to be at office for physical inventories audit. And the last experience of non stop 30 hours was not really a pleasant one. I also suffered badly with flu. It was however, a smooth audit with I walking out of the factory at 6pm. It was still an almost 10 hours task. Without OT...sob!

Sunday, a usual morning with household cleaning. It was not till 1pm before I declared ready for myself to go out comfortably without worrying the home was still messy. The memory of you seem to be more frequent back on this week. I really did not know why. So much so, the little one also mentioned twice in a week that he dream about you. One at sis house and another one at my parents' house. Why? you must be worry that we would forget you!

SooKing, no matter what and what changes to me and the kids, you remain as my wife and the mother of the lovely kids. And you will always and forever on my mind.

I remember
