Thank you MAS!!!

Really wished it was an overseas trip, but oh well...
Who cares, I'm going to fly! (: AT LAST... after 9 whole years!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

The Great Escapade

As I have said before, I have not been out of the country much. In fact, those of you who know me would know that I haven't been out of the country at all. Seriously. I'd give anything for a ticket out of this place to go and expand my horizons. There's so much to see, so much to do! But what's a KL boy to do?

Well, if I were to choose a way to fly with MAS, it would have to be the Grab-A-Deal package.

Quoting from the website:

"Grab-A-Deal is a new way for you to fly with Malaysia Airlines at a lot less. By signing up with Grab-A-Deal, you can enjoy exclusive bargains on various domestic and international destinations, offered every day."

In other words, that means a lot of flights to a lot of places for less money!

Hint: 2 tickets would make a great gift for my 21st. Hehe.

The Iphone fever

 You know how you always felt that something was missing when you don't know what is it that is missing... I had this fever. More on that later. 

I can swear that I've not lay hands on it before buying it, not even a video to see its capabilities. Not even knowing that you can do wonders with it. I was just wanting this gadget so badly. The fever began when I started dreaming about it, it also started my huge addiction to check out lowyat.net for the best prices on the iphone and ipod touch. Believe it or not, when you say two soul mates are destined to meet up some point of their lives, I kid you not, I had the same feeling for the ipod touch or even better, the iphone.

I purchased my second girlfriend (that's what my girlfriend calls it) with my girlfriend through a reliable seller through lowyat.net. Immediately, call me some crazy man or what, I felt this peace of mind inside of me. I had the ultimate gadget and I didn't have to go on talking about it as if I had one.

It was mind blasting. The wonders that you could do with this little thing. 

Now, the review.

The ipod touch has such amazing features, having the weight of a phone and a body as thin as a pocket notebook, this baby can perform web browsing, gaming, PDA features, and the ipod all in one. Third party developers are creating apps for the iphone and ipod touch daily. On the main page it has your first preinstalled 17 main apps comprising of;

• Calender - dates, events, birthdays. It's useful to keep you organized
• Videos - video podcast, movies, tv series. Something I dig when i'm bored and just want to be entertained. I've downloaded Russell Peters' Red White Brown, doesn't grow old on me (:
• Mail - to handle all your email accounts and view them offline. It's useful if your mails doesn't have html in it. Can't process any attachments but you can view jpeg pictures attached.

• Clock - World clock, alarm, stopwatch, timer. The best thing to tell the time and set funny original alarm tones
• Contacts - able to retrieve all your contacts from Ms Outlook. I don't really use this function as I have most of it on my handphone. It'll do good on the iphone (:
• Youtube - play youtube videos (wifi connection needed) Frankly, i prefer watching them directly on Safari as it loads faster there, the Youtube app takes a little while to connect to the server.
• Maps - to help you navigate through places (Google maps) and view them offline. This beats typical maps, if I'm lost, all i need is wifi to download from my location to the location I want to go and it'll give me the fastest way to get there.
• Weather - from yahoo.com. I really don't know how reliable weather predictions are, but i guess it's just as good as the one you get from the News.
• Photos - to view photos you upload or download from the web. It's cool if I want to show my friends photos of latest events, birthdays, etc. Completely replaced the tangible photo albums.
• Stocks - Live results from Yahoo.com
• Notes - create short notes with email option. 
• Itunes - connects you directly to itunes to download podcasts, songs.
• Appstore - lets you download the latest application for the ipod touch.
• Safari - The best thing that beats all other phones for web browsing capability. Allows you a  maximum of 8 tabs of webpages and you can view them as the entire webpage like how you do with computers. 
• Settings - to control all basic settings to have your ipod touch the way you want it to be.

    

The ipod touch comes with an accelerometer and a multi touch screen. You don't need an instruction to teach you how to navigate through the phone. It's personalized in a way where you use your first instinct that tells you how to move or use applications in the iphone/ipod touch. The accelerometer helps when you want different ways of viewing your ipod touch. Plus, it's the steering wheel in many racing games ;) Cool huh?

Note: for those of you who actually have the iphone/ipod touch, if you find your accelerometer way off grid, please sent it back to apple. If it's still covered by warranty, they'll give you a new one (; so you can make up for the scratches you did to the first one. And yes, it happened to me. I have a new one now :D

A lot of my friends always mistake me for having the iphone instead. I don't blame them, sometime I do refer to it as the iphone also. I mean, since it is as good as one. 

I have hopes to get the iphone to my hands, hopefully I can save up and get it later in my years. By then, who knows? We could have the iphone nano (:

Knowing Apple, they always come up with uber cool crazy stuff that beats most gadgets. 

The Community meet up in YOUTH'09 is not going to be any other meet ups because it's going to be the largest communities meet up at one place. Where would you find NGO's, forum, clubs/associations, a car club and a yoyo club in one place? The best part of it is, they're doing workshops, talks, games, freebies and there will be free flow of drinks. It's a cool fact that you can be part of something and everything else. Imagine how you always wanted to be that Leo or Interactor going around making friends, connections, building bridges or relationships at one event? I know I'm going to be there. 

You know how you always have to split your brains when you have to be at two places at a time? 

(I know, I hate that.) Like some of you who watched 27 dresses,

Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl) had to be in two weddings at the same time swapping and changing her clothes in the taxi going back and forth between 2 weddings...

haha. stress no more cause YOUTH'09 is coming to town, where all the happenin clubs and communities are going to be!! (:

Merry Christmas Ya'll

Attention to TARC students

In college, the classification of the social ladder in TARC are as picture says below.


Somethings are meant to be crazy, somethings are not. In the video, you'll witness the best accomplished "jack ass" video clip ever recorded. Credits to Tunku Abdul Rahman's Nothing-Else-better-to-do-students.

I'm "proud" of my college.

I Like To Move It, Move It with Madagascar 2!

Calling all humans of the world! (:

I like to mov-it mov-it.....


I beg all of yous out there to watch the movie (;

Rant

I just don't understand some girls. Without a boyfriend, they're all strong and independent and sassy, but the minute they get attached, they get all dewy-eyed and suddenly can't walk around without the said guy attached to their hip. There they waltz around, whispering sweet nothings, trapped in a bubble of their own delusions.

The worst among all these is the girl who even hijacks their boyfriends online accounts. Suddenly they start posting on each others' facebook, blogging on each others' blogs.. until you're not quite sure who's who anymore. Hello, I know two shall become one, but isn't it too soon for all this? Earth to delusional girlfriend, touch the ground willya?!

Yes, they attack online accounts with fervour. Until suddenly it isn't the boyfriend's blog anymore, but a platform for the girlfriend to report on the state of the boyfriend. Like, how lame is that. It's like such a public flaunting of how close they are. Like, for example I could say now; "Gadiy's still at work, creating media kits for the press launch of his event tomorrow."

Can you imagine anything more lame than that? A girlfriend who has so little life of her own that she has to cling onto her boyfriend's activities just so she can pretend to have some sort of prestige and identity of her own. It's enough to make anyone's nose bleed.

Oh

My

Gosh

And to make things worse, said girl just always has to end the post with a blood-curdling lovey-dovey icky-mushy picture of them together. Like this for example.



Can anyone spell 'gross' for me?

Melaka Raya

So, as most families went back for raya, my parents decided to join in the crowd.
Walaoweh, it took an extra 3/4 more time of the journey to arrive malacca. Close to 4 hours. Oh well, malacca trip could've been fun if it was the jjandridiy. My dad decided to go to a waterfall overthere. Gunung Ledang it seems.
Was kinda excited at first because of the fact that i may meet Puteri Gunung Ledang (:
But, to my horror, even after walking in 1.5 km deep and up the hill...

Stupid illegal indo's were spotted and littering all around. Kesian mother nature.

There was also a bunch of malay teenage kids up there playing, washing their hair, and chowing down on twisties, ngan ngin peanuts and nasi lemak in a box. They left the place. Leaving the box of half eaten nasi lemak, peanut shells, and floating twisties packet.
I wanted to #(*&@^^&@(* and teach them a lesson. grrh!

My heart was immediately broken.

I didn't even take out my shoe to step foot into the water ):
my little brother went a-wall with my little cousins even though with the littering and all.
How I wish I was still a kid.
