I'm no gadget freak, but I'd buy something that's practical. These pics are actually from my FB from last year and this year.
That Dell netbook is almost 2 years old now, had it for as long as I've been blogging. Took it during our cuti-cuti Malaysia, when I went for entrance exam/interview, brought it along to study for exam. And that netbook in Starbucks, well that was actually in Pantai when I was waiting for my appointment with the doctors. That was my birthday gift when I joined 3 series club :D
And iPad.. gotta thank @Wieraz who came back from US for summer holidays. I got the 32Gb with wifi. Mid range iPad, because the initial target was for the lil one, it wasn't for me. Still plenty of space despite apps bouncing off the screen, waiting for OS upgrade so I can put things into folders- just like the iPhone.
Keyboard - qwerty is good on Dell, the on screen keyboard takes no time to get used to
Screen - sharp touchscreen on iP
Speed - unfair coz that Intel Atom ws 2 years ago, compared to the powerful A4 chip
Apps - more kiddies apps on iP
Textbooks/lecture notes - no difference, although I quite like iPad a tad better
Connectivity, battery life - almost the same. That bit, ask our personal networking guy :p
I keep it simple, I make do with whichever gadget I bring along. Eg: Blogger doesn't run well on iPad, can't run flash. On the other hand, holding a netbook with the hinge is kinda scary with a toddler around.
That's my two cents' worth- from a mommy's point of view.
My camera doesn't do justice to the bright red, oily gravy. Load of tauhu, brinjal, long beans, chicken and kerang served up with the mee. Yummy! I still can't finish the huge portion. TQ Mr. Daddy for tapau-ing for me.
7 years ago... on this very day... I was a newborn. I am now a 7 year old kid...hopefully with many more years to come. From HUKM, to HTAR Klang, served the Gombak district with various portfolio... before finally I sold my soul and entered masters. I hope in 2013, I can reminisce via this blog... as a specialist. Ameen.
Alphard is the tallest at 74". Odyssey is the longest at 200". Wish is the most compact at 63"/180".
Another action-packed weekend, starting with IJN visit this morning. I wonder when I can finally stop googling and really test drive the cars, including the fugly car. I agree with Adzimi when he commented:
I'd go for alphard for long term use. It may look ugly, but the huge space really helps. Bagaikan kindy yg bergerak. And its a powerful car too. Waiting for the day when my Alphard will finally arrive. Amin.
I took this picture, thinking that I'd blog about the ease of room service. Instead, I've got to blog about how bad it is. This was in Renaissance. We ordered chicken rice and spaghetti meatball. We were tired from travelling, and I had to leave early the next morning to HUSM.
The rice was DRY, DH had to say it tasted like rice from 3 weeks ago. It was dry and hard. The rest of it was tasteless. The spaghetti, I can't remember. So my poor kid refused to eat it. Pretty ok because she ate sushi rice and fishballs which we brought from home. Unfortunately we only brought those 2 tupperware of food. She went hungry the next day, refusing the buffet breakfast and staged hunger strike while I went for viva.
The only good thing about it was: I passed the viva. Bad thing: poor baby only ate little, only to get tummy ache the next day :(
I think this was the among the very few Malay/ Indon movies/songs that I actually watched and liked :) What year was this?? I remember one Hindi movie that we managed to seludup to Dublin was Kuch Kuch Hota Hei. I'm so not a movie buff. Maybe once Arianna gets older? I'll fall asleep though haha!
We were looking for this years ago, and now only they have it? At least last year I know they still don't carry it in the KLCC boutique. And the saleswoman looked baffled when we asked for a baby bag *duh*.
This was for the little princess in the previous post. It's a diaper cake, as opposed to the usual big hamper-style. We forgot to snap pics with lil Puteri and mommy Dina *silly us*. Arianna was totally fascinated with the baby, and was happily munching biskut?kerepek bawang. She must be teething again.
He was mumbling mumbling something something that I complained that I didn't get a birthday present. I forgot that the T900 was supposed to be anniversary+birthday present *sorry, few months dah*
Yet he says he doesn't buy me stuff?! Hello, what about my current hp, netbook, 'school bag', that striking red camera, and restoration of my 'toy' car.
When I said small present, he thought of this:
When I mean small, maybe perfume? Chocolates? Blouse? Lipstick (haha yeah right)?
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING MY DEAREST HUBBY
*sekali sekala kasi la can I komplen, ni asyik2 u&baby je suka komplen hahaha*
He came home, one of the things he asked me.... dah tengok FB? I was like huh- your status (boring work stuff usually)? He said no, his mobile upload pic.
Nice way of telling me he got me something.
Why am I blogging this? Coz we both fell asleep early while getting Arianna to bed, and here I am at 2 am, and I still haven't seen it.
Second day of poor reception. Line is intermittently disrupted, still!!! The downfall of living in BU/DJ/DU/TTDI area...congested?? BODOH!
So okay, I'm only oncall tomorrow.. but how soon would the prob will be fully rectified? How would I know when emergency happens... and they couldn't get through?
Hello.... amanah kerja.... cepat2 la fix it. No need cuti raya lama2. I was back oncall on 4th day raya (after a whole week of non muslim colleagues covering-thanks u guys!). Taking 24H oncall tomorrow too.
Yesterday, my specialist-on-call was probably rejoicing coz not many calls/sms...... till morning comes and lotsa sms (including angry sms) came in. So who do u blame if u can't get that urgent CT/MRI? (don't wanna jinx it by saying urgent nephrostomy, drainage, embolisation).
Karma babe... ntah2 technical people who are responsible will come in one day with a stroke (to make it spicy.. amendable with intervention if diagnosed early)... and gets delayed treatment coz cuti raya lama sangat. Sangat menyusahkan.
Kerja kena amanah! I pray to God for my patient's safety... and may I not kill anyone by lackadaisical attitude.
