A Slacking Week and Apple
It has been a long time since I update my blog. hehe, thanks for reading it. I really hope I can update it every week as to practice my writing skill which has been deteriorating day by day. ><
These few days I felt very bored in office since my manager is on leave. Two weeks before he was also on a business trip and left me with myriad tasks. I was overwhelmed during that week coz I don’t have any idea how to deal with new things, things I have never done before. Everyone is chasing me and asking me questions which I have no idea about. T.T Luckily, that week passed with a new lesson learnt, i.e. project management is not a simple task like you do programming (no offense for programmer :p). You need to consider a lot of factors and read different source of materials before deciding what solutions you can give to customer. I recalled one of my colleagues saying: “Customers won’t give you a second chance”. Competition is tough outside, why should they consider you while others can do it better? Agree??
Today, I had a good chat with one of my colleagues. We were discussing about Apple’s Macbook. Yeahhh… Macbook is my next wish list if my laptop is spoiled..(I hope not). I am astonished by the manufacturing process of the new Macbook which is made of one solid piece of aluminium.
Here’s the link for those of you who are interested:

New Macbook
My colleague asked me why I consider Macbook instead of Mac mini. Mac mini is a lot cheaper than Macbook indeed and much smaller also. He asked me about my purpose of buying Macbook, is it for gaming, portability or just to surf web and entertainment? Game?? I seldom play one recently. Portability?? I hardly carry my laptop around since my university time. Browsing, checking email, and writing blog (;p)?? Yes, those are what I do everyday. Then, you should consider Mac mini instead of Macbook. A minimalistic design yet powerful (in terms of its design, don’t compare it with PC with more bulky size, ok? haha).

That’s quite cool for a CPU of this size. Hahaha. Maybe I should consider it. :p Another colleague of mine is also getting his iPhone today. Sighh…. Currently, there are two people using iPhone in my department. I believe there are three more potential users who have reserve their iPhones. Everyone is using iPhone..Haha.. Well, in this case, the Apple slogan’s “Think Different” does not apply anymore. If everyone is using iPhone or iPod, they are having similar thoughts. Apple : “Think Similar” :p
