Doulos Floating Book Store



Hello all. I am back again. Too long didn't update my blog. Today, I went to Star Cruise terminal with my colleague in West Port to see the popular Doulos floating book store. It was a bit of disapointment for me, as I couldn't find a book that interest me. The price of the books are almost the same as normal book stores in Malaysia. Fortunately, I am able to buy a cook book for my mom. This book store is more suitable for children as they have a lot of novels and children books. This is accordance to their tag line "Bringing knowledge, help and hope". This ship is about 92 years old and it is on the Guinness Book of Record as the oldest passenger
ship. I am quite amazed as the on board crews are able to maintain the ship in such a good condition although it is nearly a century old. For more info about the ship, please visit the following web link: www.mvdoulos.org

5 Science Class of 1999 Gathering


After long 6 years, we finally meet each other again. We meet at
Restoran Sate Kajang Haji Samuri Klang branch. In terms of appearance
there are no major change on each other as I can still recognize each
of them. However, got one girl that I don't really recognize. I thought
she is another girl. When I said I don't recognize you, she gets angry.
But when I said you getting prettier until I don't recognize you, she
gets happy again. Haha... During our gathering, we chit-chat not stop
because too much to catch up. Just like summarise 6 years stories into
4 hours. Most of them have started working already. One of my friends
who works in Kuantan, knows my ex-hostel friend. This is a very small
world indeed. I never thought that there are three of my classmate who
work in my current company. But they all left already for several
reasons.

USB Portable Hard Disk


Pros:
1. Cheaper per Gigabyte for storage capacity. RM6 per Gigabyte compared
to RM110 per Gigabyte for USB thumb drive.
2. Larger capacity. Can store or copy almost anything without worry
running out of storage.
3. Can function as second hard disk.
4. Can create a portable OS (Operating system). For PCs or laptop that
support USB booting.

Cons:
1. Must handle with care. Hard disk is a delicate device that is
sensitive to vibration and shock.
2. Difficult to carry around as the size is far bigger than thumb
drive.
3. Slow detaching time. Computer needs time to detach the drive before
can begin using.
