Pejalai

Its time to reboot Pejalai to a fresh look. I have promised myself not to change the theme again back then.. but hey.. the old theme is getting old and slowing the site down…

Cheers for the new look and I don’t know if I have any more regular readers.. :p If you still stalk my blog, leave a comment down below…

A continuity of my inane rambling. At the moment I can only fix my head to one position. I’m having a serious case of seasickness on land (or vertigo for you correct term users). You can see the ceiling spinning around and around and around until you want to vomit. Cool eh…

While my dearest buat lab. I was busy working on something and encounter this.

Working with a global comp. You get whacked by a website.

One fine sunset..

view from my hotel room..

An update maybe?

If some of you not so loyal reader has read from the previous post.. I’m building a PC from scratch… and too bad I just learn that I can’t put it in my tax relieve as it was bought part by part… sheet..

Nothing much on the pc.. just a normal desktop to replace my sister aging Acer laptop…

The stuff i put in is roughly as below:

Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0Ghz
Gainward HD4850 Golden Sample (that mean this card is factory overclocked)
Big Typhoon VX CPU cooler
Centurion 590 casing (too bad CM690 out of stock)
Corsair XMS2 2 x 1GB (window XP okay…)
Cooler Master Real Power Pro 550W psu……….. (should have gotten the 650w)
WD 320 GB
ASUS P5Q Pro
LG DVD-RW
Samsung 2233SW 21.5 inch yooo…
el cheapo Logitech keyboard and Razer DeathAdder mouse..

Ada LED yoooo…

The system is running Win XP. Feel nice and fast… Have you ever have the feeling when you finally get something that you really want? Like getting that nice XC bike?

Look at that big CPU fan+heatsink!

Window 7 is the next OS… or maybe someday.. this system will be turned into a Hackintosh…… we’ll see how it progress..

Installed few game courtesy of a friend.. Dont you love it when you can play at full settings?

and also not to mention fragging with teh best mouse….. Razer DeathAdder courtesy of the GF… Punya syiok kau tau.. timbak2 org jahat semua cun kena kapala…

Without flash.. for the sake of it…

total damage to the wallet?

RM3200+

Most of the parts was bought from forum.lowyat.net except for MoBo, DVD-RW and HDD.

and not to mention the cable management..

Bonus section… I’ve been all over the place.. and this one is in Kapit… in the middle of no where.. along a logging routes…

My line of work require me to travel a lot but the stay normally one or two nights… back then when I started working and the pocket is not so deep. I invest RM60 on decent backpack.. A cap ayam Camel Mountain backpack bought from India Street…what can I say… it do the same job. packed my lappies, underpants, shirts, toiletries, jeans, chargers, bottles etc…. good enough for a 3 night stay… But soon, the cap ayam become uncomfortable.. and the quest for a new bag begins.. konon nya..

then GF offer to subsidize a new backpack. hearing that I do my research found the Deuter Crosscity 28 liter backpack… at first I was thinking of getting Deuter Futura 28L but it seems to be over the budget… so Deuter Crosscity it is.. placed my order at an online store and not long after, I received my backpack…

Behold….

Deuter Crosscity…

Compared to my Camel Mountain

Seem a little bit shorter and fatter than the camel mountain backpack..

The challenge…

is to fill all this in the backpack and still have room for another set of clothing for another day… manage to pack 4 days worth of clothing into the backpack since I use it..

and..

it has this nice section where you can put a bike helmet or a jacket in my case… also can put anything you might think.. shoes, small boxes, junk food… anything…

Internal view

This is the front compartment. Smaller than the main compartment of course. Can stuff your toiletries, pen, knife, camera… etc here…

Main compartment with a padded laptop holder… just nice to fit everything in… I mean everything…

It also has a nice side pocket that can fit a 1.5litre drinking water bottles… and probably a canteen as well….

It also have this nice airstripes stuff… which is nothing more than a bulge at the back that can provide adequate air flow to your back and minimize sweating…

Has been using it quite a time now… Still tahan from my constant abuse so far… and its comfortable what…

For Rm255 it must be comfortable…
