LaptopMy friend asked me the other day on what she should look for in choosing a new laptop. Naturally I asked her the question "What are you gonna be using the laptop for?" She gave a shrug and said, "Oh, you know some normal stuff, like surfing the web, a little word processing and spreadsheet work, maybe some minor photo touchup, emails, some multimedia and you know, all that sort of stuff."Oh my, nowadays there are simply lots of different notebooks that can do all "that sort of stuff".

Rockefeller Jr. I used to have floral arrangement class on every Saturday but somehow my class was called off on 23 August 2008. The same date that Dell Champion Road Run/Walk 2008 was organised, an annual event to pledge some monies for the Malaysian AIDS Foundation. Was it merely a coincidence? Or it was a call from someone up there that I have to participate in this event physically? Somehow after the event, I understood that I indeed…

Ayutthaya Tourist MapAyutthaya, the ancient capital of Thailand is located about 76 km from Bangkok. There are more than a couple modes of transportation to reach Ayutthaya including by boat, train or road via highway.

It was said that this idea of c…
