My Lenovo Y580 laptop review

Yay! *celebrates* Yes I got a new toy! Hello people.
So first off, thank you dad for the new lappy!

Okay moving on. So after much research of laptops available below $1000 and fully loaded (end 2012), I finally ended up with an Asus and the Lenovo, well you know which I went with.

The specs in my laptop-

• Intel i7 3630QQM 2.40GHz
• 8GB DDR3 ram
• Windows 7 Basic 64bit
• 15.6" 1920x1080 FHD 
• 128GB SSD + 500GB HDD
• NVIDIA GTX660M
• USB 3 & Backlit Keyboard

So the Y580 is marketed as a multimedia laptop which to me is a dying breed. If you look at laptops these days, its all trying to be thinner and more portable, which ain't something bad but you will have to just live with not having as much anymore. You would have a smaller screen, less ports, less GPU power with built in-graphics.

Malaysia's Greenest Mall Educates Shoppers on Sustainability.

Selangor, March 21, 2013 

Setia City Mall, the first mall in Malaysia to be awarded both the Green Mark Gold Award by the Singapore’s Building Construction Authority (BCA) and the Malaysian Green Building Index’s (GBI) provisional silver certification, has launched the ‘Love Green, Begin’, campaign in support of Earth Hour. The initiative aims to educate shoppers on the importance of sustainability in a fun way and to provide a platform for the shoppers to understand how the sustainability features implemented in the mall has helped it reduce its carbon footprint.

5 hour energy crash

Hello readers!

Okay okay I know, I haven't been keeping to my word of keeping this blog updated. But I sorta have my reasons. Plattsburgh ain't a very big place and well, unless I start writing about my lunch or the daily dramas, then I don't really have much to talk about anymore. The biggest event would be from my uni and the biggest drinking thing would prolly be a pub downtown. So yea...

So in the States, energy drinks is a pretty big thing. Besides RB, there is a whole list of other brands which claims the exact same thing - more energy. But one of the more popular ones is 5 Hour energy. Its a tiny little bottle which apparently would give you hours of energy without the "crash" people usually get. This bugs me because I know people who drinks it and they crash. Of course I know that everyone is different but to claim drinking it does not make you feel like crap after using it should be applied to everyone.

So here is just a quick shout out to all the readers who drink it. Take it in moderation if you do. There was a death case from drinking too much of it. Below are some links to the issue mentioned above.

I guess that was all I would have liked to ramble with.
Next post soon. Hopefully, if I get my homework down.

Grind My Gears - Common Courtesy

Haven't wrote of these like forever. Nyways, yesterday I read a tweet which went "saying you're welcome is not a chore, but common courtesy", and it got me thinking. How often do I say you're welcome, which really ain't that common at all. Which only leads to one thing, people I have been dealing with are not saying "thank you" at all.

Where I currently am, I have  had to learn my manners again due to all the friendly people around me but back home, where commercials say its one of the friendliest places, you really don't actually experience common courtesy much at all. Rarely people hold the door for you, rarely would they ever let you get into their lane while being stuck in a traffic jam, rarely would they even say thank you if you did something for them.

So I ask, what happened to common courtesy? I read an article recently of a social experiment of helping and very sadly so (it somehow affected me deeply), Malaysia was rated as the least helpful country, in the case of helping a random stranger in need. That's just sad. Check it out yourself -> LINK

So whoever reading this,
the next time someone goes out of their way for you, a simple thank you ain't really that much effort to say.

Grinds my gears even when I think about it...

Rant end...
