Mobile phone marketing

Why can't a mobile phone developer come up with a phone that encompass ALL the up to date, state-of-the-art technologies? Some phones come with large storage capacity, music player but no 3G tech.. Some with 3G tech, music player, but poor camera. Why? why not place everything together and name it the ultimate phone of the quarter.

I really hate making comparisons only to find that my stuff lacks this, lacks that.
www.cnetasia.com provides great reviews on the latest gadgets.

Idealism has proven its non-existence again. Sigh.

Exam woes

Yesterday was a shocking and surprising day. My exam timetable is out. Exams begining 2nd week of May. Around 1 more month to go. How I wish time will move slower, like 48 hours a day.. I thought exam should fall in June.. But was shocked to find out that it begins 1 month earlier.. meaning lesser time to prepare.. Have to mug for hours already, no slacking, no games, no music.. the best place : LIBRARY. Yeah so i set my mind into studying in school library. I believe the amount of people in the library this few weeks will give me some morale support and determination.

After going through today's revision lecture, I find that having overseas lecturer (Especially from University of London itself) is far more enriching. They aren't that monotonous and boring as local lecturers tend to be.. Perhaps it's due to that they are the chief examiners themselves. They set the question, the standard, and they mark our scripts.

After going through numerous bad encounters and experiences last and this month, I realised something rather important. People tend to get angry or sad when they face problems. I too gone through this cycle of emotion. Whenever you are angry at your problem, you will not be able to think rationally. All you can think about is 'why the hell it happened to me','how i wish it never happened'. Solutions will never come to you when you are angry or sad, because you will just lament away on your life. Realising this, I tried to face the problem with a joyful mood. Don't think of the problem, as it has already taken place and happened right before you, and it's not a dream, as i always wonder whether is it or not. Being in a healthy state of mind will greatly aid you in solving your problems. Even if you cannot seek a solution to the problem, and decided to let it go, at least your mind will be at ease. Don't fret on the problem anymore cos it doesn't help a bit, it'll make you even more tired and restless.

I'm going through the worst days of my life in Singapore right now. Look on the brightside, at least I still have a place to live and attend my classes as per normal.

Cheers!
