As far as I am concern, I have totally abandoned my thought of getting an Apple Macbook. It is near year end and lots of netbooks are on their way to the market. There are Dell Mini, Lenovo S series, Fujitsu Amilo, HP Mini and the popular Asus EEE. I have browsed through all their specifications lately and right at the moment, Lenovo or Asus will most likely be my final purchase.

Dell Mini is pricey and for £299, you get SSD storage of 12GB only. Fujitsu Amilo is pricey too. All the netbooks are equipped with Intel Atom processor except HP Mini which is equipped with VIA processor. As tested by most of gadgets review website, HP Mini does not perform. Lenovo S series will be out in October and hopefully, the price will be competitive to Asus EEE. However, Lenovo S series do not have the option of SSD storage. On the other hand, I read a review on Asus EEE where the reviewer explained that there was no significant increase of speed when using Asus EEE with SSD storage. But the fact is that SSD is more durable than normal hard disk.

All I have to do now is to wait for the brand clash so that I will get a better price in the end.

When I was small, I always hope that I was old enough to drive. The first few years of learning to drive until obtaining my driving license were great. However, when I started my first job as a system support, I soon found out that driving could be boring and tiring. Traffic jams, trying to get to a place on time and driving all day long have made driving boring. During my last job in Malaysia, I started enjoying driving again because I did not have to drive to work or drive for work.

Working for a delivery company or something similar is certainly not my type. Some people can be a truck driver as easy as obtaining a license. However, in countries like US, truck driver has to go through CDL training in order to prove that they have the ability and right attitude when driving a truck. It is good to have some kind of certifications or trainings before getting a career in trucking as one may know whether he or she is suitable in trucking while undergoing the training.

The internet connection has been acting weird today. I am not able to browse anything at all from Internet Explorer except Firefox. Maybe they are planning an upgrade to IE 7. My internet connection at home too was causing problems on Saturday. Entrecard was slow and I could not make any drops at all to blogs that had dropped on my blog. On Sunday, however, Mee and I went to Colindale and we were not at home until 1900.

On Friday, we had texted the contractor regarding the shower and he replied that it will be fixed on Monday. We certainly hope so. It has been so inconvenient having to carry our stuffs and cloths to use the bathroom upstairs.
