Online... It's My Life!

I so love my Compaq!

In mid 2007 last year, I decided to try to keep up with technology and go for a new computer / workstation. Intrigued by the ability to go anywhere and wireless, prompted me to get a laptop. It was a worth well investment and also for the money I paid for. I am a very tuff customer and hard to please. :P

Basically, my concern was that I wanted a system with bigger hardrive, faster and ability to go mobile.

I am so in love with going online and you could call it my past-time. Actually, going online has become so much part of my life!

The fact that you are reading my blog is proof of the wealth of information from news to gossip there exists on the www.

Just Google it! That was one of the phrases I learnt back in MMU those days. Info on love, product details and programming source codes are all here. In todays world with the thirst for knowledge, I can't help but learning new things. I may not be the smartest of people but I always wonder how things work.

I am so into motivation, horoscopes and tips on living that I can find them all here. Most importantly it's free. Sometimes in life, you need some added boost or guidance towards effective living and for me it works and I can find all the motivation I need here.

I have been following up on politics mainly in the US and also the recent awareness in global warming. Well, atleast I am aware about things that are happening globally in the world I live in today.

Tech news has always been my favourite and I can find it on pcworld.com. There are so many new gadgets from miniature computers to cool mobiles.

I get news of the latest softwares from downloads.com. This place is like a heaven to fully maximize the usage of your computer. Did you know there are softwares to make your computer go faster?

Not forgetting my love in automobiles, I can find info from forums like my myvi.com.my, paultan.org and autoworld.com

Also, theres the luxury of keeping in touch with buddies. Friendship to me is an integral part of my life. With friends that I have made from Penang right up to Mauritius, it can be hard to keep up with everyone. But with the inovation of MSN, YM, Friendster, Skype, it has bridged the gap. I call and speak to my best friend in Australia almost every week. However, there are times when I get bored and call him on my mobile. Hahha! :P

I have never been more musically inclined in my life! I now download songs of today and from yester years. Just imagine listening to the Jackson 5, James Taylor and Richine Valens on your modern daylaptop! I bet some of you don't even know these legends. The songs are so real! Then theres of course the new ones like T.I.P. (my current most fav song from him is "You Know What It Is"). Haha!

I am not really into downloading movies because of the long wait to download. I just malas to leave my beloved laptop on for too long. Haha!

Having said all this, you may think I am a geek. But for those who really know me, I really try to balance everything I do from friends, family, hobbies, work and play.

Going online has just become an avenue for me to live my life more effectively and find meaning in so many ways.

Some of you may wonder, what the hell am I so fascinated about turning my laptop on and going online. Do I have a secret affair with someone online? Am I talking bad about someone?

Anyway, it is my life and as an adult I know better than to live it with respect to others.

Besides, if I find pleasure in doing things I like doing like going online, no one can stop me or question my freedom to live "partly" online. Haha!
