So today went out to Low Yat with dear to fix his laptop. Poor thing. Haven't even pass its 3-month anniversary after it was fixed last time because of a fried LCD display. This time the chipset was fried. All because of the same problem. NVidia 8 series heat dissipation problem. My Dell also faced the same problem some time ago but it's not giving me any problem since they replace the motherboard promptly after it broke down.
So after surrendering his BenDanQ to the repairman, we went scourge around for a possible replacement. Acer and BenQ was out of the question, and he was thinking of his dream baby HP DV2 so we went around looking for it.
Oh look! Sitting right there. When i rest my hands beside the touchpad, straight away i knew he'll be disappointed. The heat is already more than lukewarm, even when the system is idle. Ah... So it's not so perfect after all.
After much debate, it boils down to whether you want portability or specs. It's hard to have both, unless, well... you know, $$$.
So after that we went to find mr. eel and CH. Although it's been a year we didn't see each other, it seems like only a week ago. It's great to catch up with what's been going on with our lives for the past one year... But alas, mr eel is going for another "vacation" to Taiwan soon. You're really enjoying yourself huh. :)
Opportunites do come and go, and lesson learnt that once you miss it, it's hard to come across the same junction anymore. This reminded me of the movie, Yes Man which despite is the kind of movie not many would like to watch, is actually a remake of a novel written by a man. This guy lead a really normal life, until one day he decided to do an experiment by saying Yes to everything that comes to him. After months of experiment, he found himself in situations he had never imagine himself in before. Visiting new places and countries he had never seen before, meeting people and doing stuff that he never imagine he will have the guts to do it. Just imagine how much "life" are you missing out... if only you could think twice about saying No.
Maybe you can try it out some day, just for a day, 24 hours, say Yes. It might change your life, if not, your perspective of life.
