Here I come again + Sydney Opera House

Hi ppl of planet earth,
Here I come again. Back to Kuwait with new laptop and mobile phone :)


Now I can officially announce the retirement of my legendary Toshiba seven years old laptop and the two years old nexus one
Replacing them with the all new google galaxy nexus and Dell inspiron 14z


Now I feel my nexus one is very tiny. I'm also wondering how I used that small screen :)


the laptop on the other hand is an average one. I didn't intend to buy fancy slim i7 with 400 price tag and above... for the time being :)
All I wanted is a laptop that works well with ubuntu linux. I googled for such laptop and found Dell inspiron 14z. Equipped with the second generation 2430M i5. It's a dual core processor but ubuntu system monitor sees it as 4 CPU. I don't know why... maybe because it's dual core with 4 threads... but it doesn't matter. It's linux-friendly and more than enough for my computing needs... also for the time being :)


Ubuntu 64bit installed. had some problems with wireless but I used ethernet wire and updated the system. After that the wireless works fine and everything works out of the box

Coming to the best part: Sydney Opera House
In this post I'll share with you Sydney Opera House photos I took and a video. Inshallah there will be many many photos I'll share them in the upcoming posts
Note-1: All images have been resized... I don't wanna run out of picasa storage :)

2012 - Happy new year to you all



Hi people of planet earth,
Wanna share with you some photos and "a video" of the new year eve event in Sydney. One of the best fireworks in the world. I couldn't get the far view of the bridge but luckily the main event this year was on the opera house side and it was in front of us with the best view

I wish you a happy new year
I wish you a new  year like a sour cream :p
Sour in a way that you'll like it, enjoy it and will be good for you :p

Cheers

Sydney Wollongong and leaving to Gold Coast Plan

Hi people of planet earth,
I'm really really really enjoying my vecation here in Australia
Just wanna summarize what I did in the seven days here sharing with you some photos

I spent couple of hours in Sydney after meeting my cousin. Nothing to mention



 You can see the UTS university building





And took the train to Wollongong


Reached Wollongong and joined cousin and his friends aprartment






I walked around Wollongong like I've never walked before
This is the Crown Street mall





I like the beach and specially the two lighthouses there 


This is The Wollongong Lighthouse


This Lighthouse called  breakwater lighthouse




I also went to the Bellambi Lagoon which took me more than an hour walking to get there. I don't know why I prefered walk there by myself. It's in north Wollongong I should've took the train to reach it easily :)


 And here are some photos of the Cassel Park
