Well I guess the only thing I can do to help myself stay in the habit of blogging is to blog more. While I can’t really find the motivation to blog often in the rat-race I call a life, I do so cherish this avenue through which I can write whatever I want instead of rambling about Macbeth or poverty in Africa. Funny isn’t it, that the very thing I blog to escape from is stopping me from blogging by taking up what little time and energy I have.

Life has been just normal recently with a few interesting twists I guess. Courtesy of the H1N1 outbreak, we were blessed with one whole week of IT home learning. That is fast becoming an instant personal hit, not only because I get to bum around but because I truly believe I learn better that way. Sometimes its a chore to sit in a classroom full of people, having to behave like a social being and learn at the same time. Ah, the ultimate introvert, ain’t I ? Yet I crave company sometimes, how contradictory indeed. Life.

School life has been filled with talk and activity about H1N1, sanitisation and the sorts, now that our position is looking quite precarious. Otherwise, life continues as per normal for most of the time, with me discovering the quality of service of HP Singapore. I have been hearing about the service problems with HP from all over, but apparently it’s quite acceptable to me. Other than the slightly obscure wherabouts of the service centre, everything was quite good. From the furnishing to the thoughful refreshments and the professional no-questions-asked attitude, it was a pleasant experience for me.

To tell the truth, I actually like my netbook better than the old notebook I was using, just because of the solid construction. I don’t think many people know this, but I am a real sucker for drastically overengineered industrial things. Perhaps its just a male thing or perhaps its a paraphilia, but I chose this notebook in the first place because of the gorgeous aluminium shell and the insanely stiff chasis over the flimsy Aspire ONE. The trade off between the Atom 1.6 and a burning VIA chipset is worth it to me, but I would have done better to wait a few months for the 2140. Awww. With the screen replaced, I don’t have to look at the two ants which got behind the perspex anymore and the scratches are gone too. Along with the high density case (yeah, I know, so what if I can drop my laptop on the floor) I picked up its quite a good set up for mobility. I think.

It was pretty much a good thing that I got my mininote back and managed to load it up with Jaunty. It certainly feels good

Thats it for now.
