My Hourglass

Just a few days ago I got a new laptop, and today I got a new monitor!

A BenQ X2200W, a 22 inch wide. It is supposed to be the current top of the range LCD monitor we have to offer.

Again, this is a sample unit.

Since I cannot bring it home, I am using it at work.

I am located on the 12th floor, but the screen is so big that people can see what I have on screen from the 13th floor.

Anyway, the rule still follows. I just hope people can forget and let me keep this monitor for good.

Interesting, just like the start of this year, I will be sent off to another country right after new year.

I went to Vietnam on the 3rd of January this year.

This time I will be in Turkey on the 6th of January.

Wow, Turkey, sounds like a fun place? Well, yes and no. Just yesterday a letter bomb exploded in the central of Istanbul, killing one.

I will be in Istanbul too.

I will bring my DSLR with me this time, just in case I get to visit some interesting historic places like some of the famous mosques, museums, castles, churches or towers. Maybe the ruins of Troy or the Trojan Horse too!

Anyway, anything is good, just don’t give me another letter bomb.

Well, not mine, but a sample unit.

I am kind of surprised, as this is the first time I get a sample laptop to take home and play around with. I just hope they forget so I can keep it forever.

Anyway, it’s a BenQ Q41.

Design is rather ordinary, but the main feature is not the inside, but the outside…

Oh, what is this? A second screen on the outside? It is actually called Windows Sideshow. Personally, I find this more of a gimmick than something that is actually useful. Again, I have to test it out to find out more.

This is only the third laptop in the whole world to have this feature, so as you can guess how unpopular this Sideshow feature has to offer.

Anyway, I just hope they forget so I get to keep this forever…

Something funny I got from email this morning…

Everybody’s Golf.

I got awfully bored the other day and I went to buy this game, Everybody’s Golf. I actully already own this game on PSP and I thought the gmae was pretty fun and good for wasting time, so I got myself the PS3 version.

The game turns out to be really easy, too easy in fact. I normally beat my opponents by an average of 10 under so I do hope the game gets a bit more challenging otherwise I am likely to sell the game by the weekend.

I am back from Philippines!

Drank a lot last night and came back home at twelve.

I had mega bad sleep and still got up and went to work.

I just arrived back home again almost two hours ago.

I need to wake up in five hours time and jet off to Philippines.

Yah well, nothing new, work is still work.

It just could not get any worse.

Please, just let me forget this day. Just let me forget!
