N70

5days old = 5 days of fun experiments with my toy. I'm referring to my wonderful, elegant N70 . Spent 10 days working to buy this phone lehzz. So proud of myself haha.... This candy bar here boasts superb multimedia capabilities - real player to play your movies or video streaming, music player to fulfil your craving for music, and a 2 megapixel cam . It's Cnet's editor choice k?

Furthermore, it supports word, excel and powerpoint docs - for viewing purposes - and an adobe acrobat reader. It certainly comes in handy for people like me who can't sit around and start reading stuffs. Read some journals while on the bus whilst listening to music -

Smartphones are just simply great and amazing. Due to its symbian OS, open source programs come in abundance. And so my 1st lookout is for an even greater music player. Came across OGGPlay. This software here is a must get program for smartphones. It plays .ogg extension files. Basically, .ogg files are similar to .mp3 or .aac or .wma codecs. The advantage is that you can compress it to around 60kilobits per sec and still derive the same quality equivalent to a 128 kbps mp3 file. Along with a 512 mb dual voltage RS-MMC, you'll get around 350 songs. Compare that to a conventional mp3 player.. Sound quality is good due to the lack of an equalizer.

3G is just so entertaining. Loads of free video streaming contents, and you can even catch channelnewsasia live on ur litte gadget. Now I'm waiting for someone to video call me :D

I just noticed that there's actually mobile blogging haha. Still looking for a free service.. hopefully the type where i can upload pics instantly from my phone, thus avoiding the hassle to make transfers to pc and then from pc to my blog.

My phone actually has symantec security to fend of mobile viruses. firewall for a phone, sounds so funny. but still protection is better than gettin infected (wonder does warranty covers it?)

I actually had a bluetooth headset years ago. Left it somewhere in the house, until yesterday i remembered and went looking high and low for it, but to no avail.

ditched my mp3 player for my chio N70. felt no remorse bout it muahahaha.,.,, cos it found a new owner...

21!

Another hour and I'm officially 21. So old dy, and I have not enjoyed life's greatest moment. Hopefully destiny will lead me to 'the one'.
I had been working for the past 2 weeks, 9 hours a day, which pays me 45 bucks per day. Job's simple but tiring. Oh well, the money's good and I'm looking forward to this weekend. N70 will be my new asset. Probably I might change my number again.. Sorry for troubling you guys to spend a few minutes to update your phonebook.
Best friend just called me and talked for 20 mins. Working 3 jobs around the clock is not a wise idea my friend. Accidents may happen when you're sleepy. So be alert, or rather go slow on the road man. Don't want anything to happen to you.
Maybe we should try out Ministry of Sound, apart from lobsters, crabs and pubs.

I'll be looking forward to June brother.

Bday present

I'm getting a birthday present! for myself. Sometimes I just simply hate the currency exchange. 570 ringgit will get you alot of stuff in Malaysia, but after conversion, I end up with only 250 sing dollars. What can I get myself? Initially I was considering bowling equipments. But on second thought, hey training will resume like, after June?? So, I guess I can wait till June then I'll get them instead.

As I flipped through Saturday's paper, I noticed handphones are going really cheap! Furthermore I need to sign up for a new line cos seriously prepaid card sucks. You end up paying more. There's this Valentine's Day promotion where you purchase a phone and get another free. The catch is both phones need to be signed up. Singtel's offering Motorolla V3i for ard 598 (1 for 1). Maybe I can sign up for a line, and get my uncle to recontract his :)

Then there is this motorolla L7, the slim candy bar model. The design is just simply fantastic. Comes with an expansion slot and mp3 player. However, the cons are it comes with a super lousy vga cam and no fm radio. Of course, the budget I have now can only purchase this phone. It's priced at 298, but i can trade in my K300 for 100 bucks.

Just hours ago, my unc called me up and asked me if I wish to help out at his eatery. Well, a job + salary, why not? Besides. I'm free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and part time jobs are not easily available to foreign students. Hopefully I can earn another extra 200 bucks before my birthday so that I can own a V3i or N70.

Looking forward to my job tomorrow.

Beginner's luck

I managed to bypass someone else's router.. So fun when you actually hit the spot. So yeah, opened up the port for bit torrent program and there, I'm downloading free stuffs again.

Tomorrow we are going to visit Mr Chuah! I wasn't able to visit him last year, cos I was slacking away in Malaysia. Dumb SIM to slot in an econs class on thursday.. Just 1 econs lect for the whole week. So I had to rush back to Sg on Wednesday.

New resolution : Start wearing jeans! In case you didn't notice, I had never ever wear a jeans for the past 20 years of my life.. Funny isn't it? Considering how common it is. And so I decided to live out of my fear and phobia for jeans.

Chinese new year has been pretty much boring this year, most of my relatives in malaysia had either gone for holidays, or juz simply cross another state to visit their other relatives instead. So, really bored. Was stayin at home every afternoon, only at night I felt abit of life flowing in me. Went for dota from 11pm to 4am with my batu pahat gangs on Sunday and Tuesday. So I guess my new year was celebrated mostly with my friends.

There were fireworks as usual. People in the neighbourhood burning money for a few shots of bright displays. Despite the beauty of it, I didn't manage to get my hands on them. They are sold in some 'secret hideout' and only to people they know of. So the whole process resembles a drug dealing stuff. Throughout the night of cny, police are patrolling around the housing estates hopefully to get some bribery rather than issuing summons.

What's next on my highlights? No more celebration worth mentioning. So, it's all down to exams and more exams. Hopefully I will fare well in my prelims.
