Bought a new computer table (a DIY type) at a furniture shop near Sri Sentosa. It is not too bad if compared to Ikea’s. It cost only RM170 and has three roller drawers with one key lock. It took about two man hours to assemble the whole thing. Luckily today is a holiday else I will be too tired. :D
MacBook Air Unboxing

Uninstalling an application is so simple that you simply drag it in to the trash (just like how you click the X button to uninstall a program in iPhone or iPad). Not need to worry about things left behind by the application as there is no registry in Mac OS X (basically the Unix OS).
