Restarting the Engine

5 more kilos to shed!

Excuses, excuses and excuses. I haven't been running much this month. I believed I ran last weekend, probably for 2km to 2.4km. This week. I failed to run on any of the weekdays; thanks to the rain and tiring work days. Well, heres another post to kick start the 2nd quarter of the year. 5 more kilos to shed!

I get visitors

More often then not, you find me Twitter-ing more than blog-ing. This is not by coincidence, it is because I can barely write to survive. Fortunately for everyone, you can read my Twitter here. I have been reading about Intel Core 2 Duo Processors lately. A typical geek will write down the different chip sets and its corresponding processing speed.
For e.g
Intel Core 2 DUO

T7500 2.ghz
T5450 1.66ghz
T7250 2ghz
T7100 1.8ghz

If you ask me, the best buy is T7100 1.8ghz, but with the recent price drop in processing power, I am expecting good bargains in the coming IT Show. I have started reading up on the brands and models of notebook to buy *which Faith would call it super-geng*, jotting down their specifications (processing speed, size, display, capacity, memory, warranty) which are of importance to me, freebies that I will be entitled and of course how it looks. My budget is a mere $1.6K to 1.8K, because I am a real scrooge in this department. There aren't any obvious winners so far, but I must say Acer gives you the best buy, Apple fulfills my fantasy, Toshiba is still the preferred brand, but who knows Asus might just win the race. Stay tuned, as come this weekend, I should be able to present you the first notebook of my life.
