Goodbye

The “Notebook Surgeon” did not manage to save my Travelmate. Something wrong with the motherboard but it’s too obsolete for a replacement. Better not.

Ah, I knew that earlier before i went to Low Yat that day to pick up the notebook. It was correctly predicted by Bendawos as well.

So long.. Goodbye my 5 Year old machine. You’ve served me well for years! You are the best so far.

Now, I need to get a new machine for myself. Yes, I’ll get one from the same family, the Acer Family. The memories still remain, for sure.

Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson

My PC was on the whole night (as usual) and when I woke up this morning at about 6.20am to switch it off, i saw one of my friend’s Facebook status on the screen.. “…hhhmmm, Michael Jackson dies of possible cardiac arrest…“.

Aik?

I google for the news.. YES. I’m not dreaming. He’s dead. R.I.P . A shocking news early in the morning. Sigh.

Not to say I’m a Big Fan of MJ, but I used to listen to his songs  since i was a lil’ kid.  Still remember “Beat It” & “Billie Jean” and also his moonwalk. A trademark.

Legend.

My TravelMate..

.. is dead. Erm, I suspect something to do with the internal hardware coz it hangs during bios startup. I was not be able to figure out the problem, so i went to Low Yat Plaza yesterday afternoon to look for someone who can help me with this. Then later I met Mr Raj, a “Notebook Surgeon” from Pakistan. After telling him the problem, he took my laptop for checking..

So “fast & furious”.

And within 1 minute, my TravelMate became like this..

This is not rubbish, okay!

Raj then started to test the motherboard with his gadgets (bios, transistor, More >

Part 3 : Trip to Sabah

I even went to Tanjung Aru to watch the sunset while I was in KK. This time, i fully ultilized the DSLR to do some photography exercise. Most of the time the DSLR auto mode doesn’t produce good shots, so I started playing around with the manual setting which is quite interesting, really.

Tanjung Aru Beach Project.

While i was busy taking photos around, I saw a group of skaters doing freetyle & flip. Reminds me of my teenage years with a friend mine, Nyawai. I used to follow him and few other friends go skating somewhere in my housing area in More >

Part 2 : Trip to Sabah

After 2 days in Sandakan, we straight away went to Keningau – ila’s Kampung Tohan Baru.

The journey took about 2.5 hours drive, from Kota Kinabalu International Airport to the kampung. The taxi fare cost RM30 per head, and there were 3 of us.

Oh yeah, I spent my 3 days in Keningau doing almost everything the kampung people does everyday, especially the youngsters. Watched them climbing coconut trees and do the plucking .. like this..

… and Apon also did his job. What else? The coconut juice, of course.

Pre-Caution: The coconut might fall on the head. May cause drowsiness.
