AC Adapter for Acer

-
1. So i have this one problem with my Acer Aspire 5500 series laptop. It always turn off when i am in the middle of doing something. The reason? Vague. I don't know whether it came from the too hot CPU or it came from dysfunctional power adapter.

2. For my first theory, the cpu overheating theory. I start to think about it because since i changed my hard disk a few years ago because of overheating issues, i never heard that sound of cpu fan gush of air anymore like the first time i bough this laptop. Before, when i use my laptop for maybe 1 hour, i can hear the fan started to turn a little more loud indicating that it is trying hard to push hot air outside. Now i don't hear that one anymore. But, i do bought a external fan, the one you put beneath the laptop and it is working fine for me. Theoretically it served the same function as CPU fan, just pushing the hot air outside. Air conduction is a superior technique to remove excess heat.

3. Another theory, about the adapter. This theory came into my mind since when i touch or mobilize the adapter too much when the computer is on, it do turn off automatically without warning. So i guess something is wrong with the adapter. And, i have one battery that is no longer usable for a very long period of time but when i try to use it now, it seem that i could not recharge the battery anymore using my ac adapter. Maybe the battery problem, or maybe the ac adapter.

4. So the issues now is, should i change my ac adapter or not?

5. In term of changing the new adapter, there is two option, buying the original or non-original adapter or they call it compatible adapter that can be used for multiple laptop. The original one cost RM130 + shipping (rm15) so RM145-RM150 average. The compatible one only cost RM 80 plus shipping, the average is rm100. can save RM50 if we buy the compatible one. The problem is, many of my colleagues and friends who bought the recon one seem to be not satisfy with it. Even most of them claimed that the compatible adapter explode after a period of time usage. So scary as it sound. So the only option now is to buy the original one.

6. And the last issue is, i have no money. So it is pointless to even think of choosing which one to replace or buy. Hahahaha. Maybe after i get my work and salary, i would buy a new laptop instead.

Becoming a medical officer in Malaysia: Are you still a real doctor?

-
To recap from my previous post, a person must completed 5-6 years study in medical school, pass their professional exam, enter 2 years house officer training program, pass their exam and completed their logbooks, then a person can now be called a fully registered Medical Officer / Medical Doctor. A Journey of a Junior Medical Officer After 7 or 8 years experience, a house officer will be given a full registration under Malaysian Medical Council. This registration process is a lengthy process which takes up months before it will be completed. Most doctors will apply for full registration 4 months before they finish their house officer training program. The registration will be processed only if all the criteria has been fulfilled by the house officer which includes log book, review by a board of specialist, no disciplinary action recorded, and other paper work stuff that need to be settled. A full registration means that the doctor now can practice as a doctor independently. They ca

What Went Wrong With Malaysia Vaccination Program?

-
Even though it was obvious but no one dare to admit that Malaysia's vaccination program has so many flaws that make it look like a joke. Every where in the world, COVID-19 was still causing outbreak from time to time but they were already planning an exit strategy. Here in Malaysia, we are still in 2020 phase. We are still in the middle of the pandemic, and not the end of it. Not only Malaysia, but almost all South East Asian country excluding Singapore were doing work at a speed of snail. Slow, unsteady and full of bureaucracy.  The talk of vaccinating the whole world started since last year. Some countries started to vaccinate their citizen as early as October 2020. By the end of 2020, vaccine is the only way out of the pandemic.  In Malaysia, the talk of bringing in the vaccine into this county, sound like a mega plan bigger than sending our citizen to Mars. It was hype! We were so hopeful. For the first time, we praised our politician who act like they were in charge and they w
