In enemy territory

Came across something interesting today.

My 9 month old Samsung lappie decided to develop a dead pixel. If you've had dead pixels on your laptop screen before, u know how annoying it can be. And also how costly it would be.

Like all dead pixels, it started tiny, a little black speck that I first disregarded for some dust. Then it grew. Spread. Colonised. In just a few weeks, I have this annoying 6cm long gash across the screen that occasionally comes into the way of whatever I am reading or viewing. Sometimes I feel the gash just conveniently chose the right spot. Sadly no picture to show. I dumb-and-blondly tried to printscreen the gash. Genius.

Anyway, I was in Samsung Service Centre with the intention to get it repaired since its still under warranty, when I saw this.

Thank You (Apple) Steve Jobs

 So you're wearing an all too obvious Apple shirt in Samsung territory. Interesting. Which makes me wonder what phone user you belong to. Funny thing is I caught a glimpse of his phone at closer range and I thought I saw an Xperia. Someone's confused.

A Blog Resurrection

I'm surprised that my blog has not been deleted from the internet!

This blog was created to record my journey in Italy, but the travels was so tiring, added with a then sucky laptop, that expectation failed miserably, along with the blog.

Today, on September 11, an iconic date, starts the revival of my then old blog! Or resurrection since it sounds cooler. My blog is 1 year old! And with its second entry!

So what inspired the return?

Just over the weekend my friend Lee was telling me how important it is to have a blog, especially since we forget events (even weekend events) so easily and it helps us to record such events. I thought to myself, that was indeed true. Especially if your life happens to be colourful, even if it is only colourful on weekends. Still, that is worth a blog to write.

And now that I'm again heading to Italy in October, might as well give it a new start.

Italy made me start a blog and now Italy brought about its resurrection!

Lots of luck and blessing to this blog that it may go on~ =D
