Mine Batterie Nicht Kaput!

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008



I have an old Acer Aspire 3620 laptop. The 3620 was doing me the job until recently the battery unable to charge. If you unplugged the power cord, the laptop will kapish (shut down) at the blink of an eye like normal desktop computer do when blackout. The logic is the battery doesn’t function anymore and can just open from it slot so can throw it away. But if I throw it away the laptop will not look good so I just kept the dead battery alive.



Laptop battery issue are common. Although we know the myth about dont’t put the battery in the laptop slot unless needed to, we still ignore it and the battery stays forever. It seem logic to us, such us why the mobile phone battery always in the mobile phone and why not take it out. Mobile phone battery can last longer than the laptop battery. So why is the laptop battery just can’t last more that 1 year? Maybe it is a conspiracy between the battery company so they can sustain the company as laptop battery is not like AA or AAA battery which we can buy everyday at grocery shop.

That title is actually from my email. Everybody can be somebody this days. Well a CSI are the get higher pay than average police or SWAT because the have a degree. Thanks to David Caruso carrier in CSI is gaining its popularity between the teenagers and maybe surpassing a Medical Doctor or a Lawyer. I think a CSI is same level as a Medical doctor too. You know, you have watch CSI. They a like a scientist and sometime a doctor that can operate human body and analyze. Plus, they can bring hand gun and a high end DSLR!. More fun than average doctor.

Auto - a man’s world, but women?

Monday, October 27th, 2008

A girl or a car? It’s yours to decide. Once old folk said that where is a sugar there is an ant. Modern folk said where is a sport car there is a women. As we know auto racing are a manly sport. A dori kin will got a chance to date with national beauty pageant. A race driver girl will be a sexy one and usually a model or an actress. When it is a sport full with adrenalin pumping and need all the guts, a women will be the window dressage. Why F1 grid girl not a tough guy wearing spandex holding an umbrella? Because Schumacher will puke.

Surprisingly, all related to race car ads will have girls everywhere. Motor oil, coil spring, audio system…

Bars from Ultra Racing…

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

I am using bars from ultra racing more than 3 years now and I am one of the satisfied user. Before this I used cheap stabilizer bar (no brand, just a hard steel bar) from local car accessories shop. My old cheap front strut bar has 2 point, give me hard stability and a hard ride. Feel not to comfortable when driving at bumpy road because all you body will shaking hard.

Seeing the white bars from ultra racing at car mag, decided to replace my 2 point with 4 point ultra racing front strut bar. While foreman changing my front strut bar he encourage me to add another rear 3 point strut bar for better control on the road. I said “not enough money lah tauke” next time. “We can accept credit card lor. RM2++ only, you can’t be poor with that maa..” the chinese foreman said.

Should we open a small business now?

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008



Government encourage graduates to open small business. Be an entrepreneur rather than finishing old’s man money by waiting a handsome office job coming to them . The way to encourage youth especially graduates to start their own business are by introducing funds and soft loan package. As we can see not many graduates find this as an opportunity, I ‘m thinking in this month of world crisis with major banks in the US gone bankrupt, price of consumer go up but surprisingly the fuel price declining. Even with the declining of the fuel price, consumer good does not go down . Stock market below 1000 points with everyday newspaper stated problems facing by the SME’s - slow businesses. Helloooo? Should we try to jump into entrepreneurship and be our own boss, own a shop lot?

Spit on the Cactus

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008


Small cactus is good for your office environment. It also look nice on your work desk and because it is so small you can put it over your computer monitor. But of course not the LCD panel. Mini cactus will stay small as long as the pot is still small unless you transfer it to another bigger pot. Small cactus no need to water it everyday just spray about 4-5 times a week.

My cactus is at the PC monitor when suddenly I remember that i didn’t spray it for almost 2 weeks. At that time I’m in a hurry to a meeting when remembering about the cactus, then I just spit at the cactus thinking our saliva could have ample water source same like spraying a tiny drop of water. Plus saliva could have extra nutrient too.

But I just do it once because it will not bring a good example for your children heheh…click here on how to grow a garden of miniature cactus.

The 30k++ Steering Wheel

Monday, October 20th, 2008



Why is such steering so expensive? It does not make from gold and the Sultans also don’t use it in their Rolls Royce. The price of the steering wheel can buy one sedan or maybe 2. Maybe it is so expensive because the steering wheel is not manufactured for the mass. The Formula One, anything about F1 is expensive. The tickets, the car, and the driver. The driver is paid expensively by the advertiser. Just look at the driver jacket ,many company logo over there. What? you are selling fruit and want your name at the driver shirt? Can be done if your annual sales can match with Intel or Hewlett Packard.

Ahh the steering wheel, you can buy momo at local car accessories shop but it is not even near the momo in F1 car. Yeap a your momo cost $30 but this momo is $30,000. So what about the steering? It’s look like normal plastic steering with many button to me. It is because F1 steering is like a F1 car brain. You pull of the steering and the gazeelion worth of Mclaren will not work. With the steering F1 driver can accelerate, changing gear, brake the car, start the engine, stop the engine and radio contact the boss. Broke the steering wheel on the track and you can’t brake the car because it use button to brake. Nice eh?

Half Naked Country…

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Many half naked in this part of the world. It’s like the community are half naked. The half naked is most likely men with women quarter naked. We also can experience a marriage ceremony with half naked men and quarter naked women. The country is hot same like the Arabian desert with 100% humidity but surprisingly the Arabs keep their body wrapped from head to toe not like this half naked country with quarter naked women.

When the men working as a farmer in bright sunny day, they also prefer to be half naked. When at home resting with the rest of the family, they prefer to be half naked and can sleep soundly. Why? Because this country is on the Equator and you will sweat all the time!

Work half naked
