Accidentally Wipe Out Scheduled Posts

Yeah, I did put lots of effort trying write for my blog. There are many things I wanted to lashed and talks about it. My shitty fingers just hit delete the entire pending topics after realizing I am writing in the header column. Now I have to rewrite the whole topics again. As for now, I will write short recap of the things I did last few weeks (and today) after I came back from Kota Kinabalu work trip.

First, I joined the charity run this end of the month. Since Schlumberger is celebrating its 80^th anniversary in Brunei and decided to hold a charity run in Seria which is closed to my home location rather driving a long way to capital. Why not try doing some challenge for 5KM Borneo Bulletin category.

I personally not an active charity runner because I do jogging and work out on weekdays. Weekend are my days off for relaxing and building Gunpla

Next, finding plastic storage drawers for Lego to sort out the bricks. I did found 9 drawers storage at Soon Lee Mumong last month. BTW, it cost BND12.90 each. But I decided to put on hold seeking out more selections at different location this month. Good news was the 30 drawers storage model was spotted at Soon Lee, Sea View location and cost BND19.90 each.

Now for the bad news, there are price treachery. So you need to be extra careful. Can you imagine the same 9 drawers storage found at Mumong branch cost BND15.90? They add another BND3.00 more. There is possibility you could purchase much cheaper price around BND16.90 if found at Mumong branch? I kinda hate this grocery store when they do this kind of tactic. Not the first time and I’m going to hold off until upcoming Brunei ends of the year sales.

Lastly, the damn old car acting up again. The engine temperature needle suddenly pointing to dangerous high red when I hit brake at the highway before turning to Mumong entrance. After few seconds when I drive to Mumong road, the temperature drop back to normal on the way home. The next morning I did a check on the water tank and found decrease. I refill and drive around, same thing happen and arrange to send over to the workshop.

The mechanic found no leak in the water tanks and the hoses. Goods news at least. However, they did another check and suspect radiator cap might be damage causing the water leaks out including incorrect engine temperature needle reading. I got it replaces today and going for test drive this Monday morning to see if the problem still persist.

Blog Action Day - Help Our Environment

Today it's a Blog Action Day! We, bloggers from around the world have been asked to write about how we can help with the environment around us today.

Currently I can think of few that can help us better on our environment activities. Not quite a very good suggestion and probably a costly idea. Anyway, just leave out the money at the moment.

Let's start with the technology. We are seeing more and more new PC, laptop and other affordable entertainment gadget stuffs rolling out from the factory every few months. However, not many of them really today have met the global demand on ROHS, carbon free and lead free in their products like iPhone (according to Greenpeace). Who's the best to go for it? I would definitely think about using VIA "Green Computing" technology. My reason is simple, their products have been known in focus on mostly in power efficiency and meets with today global environment laws. Not to mention VIA is able to roll out their new latest processor running on 1 WATT, which is great news to all. I think if the Governments and small business company are looking for eco-friendly computing and budgets lines performance PC. VIA is worth checking out.

We also do know that, there are millions of users PC are using torrent program to run 24 hours everyday to download legal or illegally musics and videos. However, everyone know this can be easily be done by turning off the PC. But now online gaming are much more worst today, and young gamers are sitting in front camping with their PC everyday. We hope the parents, the community, Governments will joined hand to resolved this. Not just about the environment, saving people lives are also importants with the surrounding. We help the people. We help the environment.

Story of Desmond Chin...

I am a guy who doesn’t like to buy newspaper in my home country instead spending more time on the internet reading IT and gaming news. It just happen today I pay a visit to Bruneistudent.com and came across a strong post about a young adult suffering from a cancer like diseases. His name is Desmond Chin, age of 20, a Seria resident. According the information from ShimWorld, Desmond was diagnosed with leukaemia in April 2005 and suffers from T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a type of cancer which causes more than normal quantities of white blood cells. Even I don’t even know what kind of disease is that. It doesn’t sound too good for any adult and children. More importantly, the cost of the treatment and surgery were estimate between $100k and $200k. O_O It didn’t say if that is in UK or US dollar, but still that amount is not everyone able to get it easily. Other issue also because Desmond is a Bruneian Permanent Resident, he is unable to obtain financial support from the government. ShimWorld has already started the donations program to help him over the financial issue.
