A comparison between my old monitor and the new one.

Guess who's got a new 24'' Dell monitor? Hehe~

Although I somehow doubt that this would increase my productivity as a programmer, it does helps ease the eye a bit. Plus it makes watching movies a hell of a lot more fun! :)

It comes with VGA, DVI and HDMI port up its back. I dunno what that actually means, but I think I can connect them gaming consoles (read PS3) to the monitor - hence, multi purpose.

If only I have that much cash.

Here's an excerpt of what I just read on BBC News

Going to university, then choosing a mentally demanding job may help protect the brain from the devastating impact of Alzheimer's disease on memory.

Scientists found tissue damage was much quicker to lead to memory loss in the less intellectually stimulated.

They suggest mentally tough work, or genes which help people achieve such careers, may help the brain compensate for disease.

The Italian research was published in the journal Neurology.
And I'm like "Yay~". A programmer use their brain. And I mean a lot. They use it so much that they tend to have trouble sleeping at night since their brain wouldn't stop working.

Guess it does have it's upside huh?

It's been almost 6 month since I've in Comptel. In terms of workload..hurm..I'd say OKla. I'm quite interested to see where it'll lead, this "mediation" path I mean. It does have it's busy times and the laid back period (how I hate laying around~). Enough to keep me occupied, distracted.

The future? Will I stay there long? Only time will tell. If I felt like I'm being appreciated, like I have a place where I belong - then who's to say how long I'll stay.

Going with the flow for now. After all, I'm still a "fresh" grad. :)

This stuff is hilarious! Hahahaha~

Today is pretty boring. I'm feeling sleepy at work all-day long. Maybe the constant moving here and there (work and dinner at putrajaya and back home) for the past two days have taken it's due toll on my body. Maybe I need a break. My head was feeling pretty tensed while driving late last night. 
Last night I did some re-calculation about my kahwin budgeting - seems like I may have to depend on only RM400 for minyak and makan and toll and whatever for the next 5 month. Crap!
But lets not talk about that for now. Let us talk about the Nasi Lemak I had yesterday at Precint 9, Putrajaya instead. :) . I've never been the kind to Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan before but somehow yesterday I felt to do so. 
Originally though me and fiancee were looking for a Western-food selling place there - that was recommended by her colleague. After awhile getting lost in Putrajaya (we actually got in Putrajaya, then somehow managed to get out, then had to go back in.) we finally found the place. 

Arriving there, I suddenly lost my appetite for Western type food and went instead for a plate of Nasi Lemak served with ayam berempah and telur mata kerbau. The aroma of that Nasi Lemak caught me across the cafeteria and I'm hooked right in.  


That's me getting a quick shot of the Nasi Lemak with my ever trusty Sony Ericsson. I had to switch to using hand instead of the usual fork and spoon since they were too slow to use. Also had a tauhu bakar along the way. Bes giler~

"Yay..lompat...lompat lagi..."

It's kinda late, but while we're still in the month of Syawal, I'd like to wish all who's celebrating - Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Its been awhile I guess since I met with my cousins..boy haven't they changed a lot. Most of them are in their teens now and I guess I feel kinda out of place at times. Haha..to think I'm growing old already..what a thought.

There was this one night where we all had to sleep outside in the living room. Each of them has their own handphone and are busy typing away on their keypads writing to gods knows who. And I'm like...wow..times have changed. And it struck me then, that sooner or later we're all gonna go our separate ways and lead our own life in the manner of our own choosing.

Will we ever be as close as this? Only time will tell. I've had chat with Pak Lang and I guess he too shares the same feeling. Or so I think. Anyways with that came the emergence of our family blog, thesallehfamily , with the intention of bringing the family members closer together. There a lot of things that can be done there, share pics, videos, and stories and such. I'm hoping that in the future it can even be a place to swap recipes or even tips on child care.

Someday we will die - yes. But just like our Arwah Atuk journal was left behind (his little notebook that he used to use during his tabligh days), I'm hoping that our blog will survive the test of times too. And may we forever remember our roots and may our grandkids get to know us better that we will ever know our Arwah Atuk. Insyallah.
