I brought my home laptop to the service centre and got a new battery after all. Though it's more convenient to get my laptop couriered back for servicing, the thought of doing without it for a couple of days is too much to bear. I was stranded at the customer's whole of today again without email or internet access, so I'm over-compensating now by being online right after dinner, still in my office attire. Talk about net addiction. Also addicted to the teh tarik from the vending machine at my customer's, but it's over too soon cos I could finish a cup in a few gulps. Oh well, more cups of that tomorrow.
