Budget photocopy on the go

Recently there was a need to photocopy documents while entering kampung areas. And well.. not all kampung have access to a photocopy machine. So whats the plan? Off to Karamunsing (KK version of Malaysia's Low Yat or Singapore's Sim Lim) to look for a printer. I was recommended an HP model printer. Since I was on a budget and printer in a car plus vibrations I don't know how long it will last, I bought the HP F4185 model. It has all the things that I need. Scanner and printer = photocopy machine.


Now I'm left with one problem.. Power.. That's where the power inverter comes in. I came across a 150Watt inverter which should be more than enough for powering a printer.


Rushed back home to give it a try.. well it works :) not only that. there is some spare wattage for me to plug in my handphone charger and my laptop if needed. Well its nothing new.. just a bit exciting to be more mobile now :)

Total Damage: RM239 (Printer) + RM78 (Inverter) = RM317
Bought from Boulevard IT.

Earthquake in Tawau, Sabah

Just heard from a friend that there was an earthquake North West of Tawau this afternoon around 3pm. This is the first time I've heard of an actual earthquake here. It registered 4.3 on the ritcher scale. This is considered a minor one, but anything about 5 could cause damage to property. Let's hope it ends there.

Wii in Kota Kinabalu?

I wonder if there are many shops selling Wii accessories here in KK. So far I've been looking around and I cant find any. The closest think is some sort of Wii clone in Karamunsing :(
