My New Gadget~


imag0006.jpg

Got this new bulky gadget just few weeks ago. I had to trade in my old phone just to get a cheaper price for it though. So far so good! Kinda happy and worried to have an expensive gadget in my pocket all the time :lol:

Anyone out there bought this as well?


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2009~


christmas_comment_graphic_10.gif

It’s the last festival of the year, Christmas is here! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!~

2008 finally reached the end and it has been so fast that the year had just passed by without noticed. Let’s see, what had I’ve done this year?

  1. Bought a HTC Touch Diamond PDA phone, but got snatched by snatched thieves last week. :(
  2. Went Pangkor Island for team building last October, had fun.
  3. Worked like a donkey. Job scope changed from monitoring to core network troubleshooting, then got promoted to be the back end support engineer. (Yippie, no more working on shifts!)

I can’t really recall much of what I’ve done this year. Probably I did not do anything much other than working like a donkey though. I really have to live my life to my fullest from now on!

My 2009 new year resolutions?

  1. Get converted to a permanent staff as a back end support engineer. (Hopefully)
  2. Get a new car – Honda city or Toyota Vios?
  3. Get a new PDA phone (HTC Touch HD?) and don’t get stolen again.
  4. Get a good camera.
  5. Go for an oversea trip!!!!
  6. Rock climbing in 1 Utama which my colleague kept asking me to go for.
  7. Get a Girlfriend!!! ( This is really hard though  :mrgreen: )
  8. Live life to the fullest!
  9. Update my blog as often as possible!

Yup. These are the new year resolutions that I can think of now. Most are just simple resolutions that can be achieved easily heheh.. Yet you need something to aim for in your life isn’t it?  :wink:

What’s your new year resolution? Mind to share? Again, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!

Comic Fiesta 2008~


p10002982.JPG

It was last weekend when I went for the Comic Fiesta 2008 which was held in Sunway Pyramid convention centre. Being a first timer for attending such events, I was thrilled to found out that there are actually a lot of hardcore comic fans in this country  :lol: ! My friend had a booth there so I just went there to check out how these events are. It did opened up my eyes though.

First, there were so many cute little anime characters models (or do you call it miniature?) which are really cute!

Yet, my friend said that this one looks like me.. hmmm..  :shock:

Erm.. I have no idea what this one below really means though..  :roll: I guess it’s up to your own imagination  :mrgreen:

And of course, what would the event be like if there are no cosplay models around? It will be super bored for sure! Well, we managed to take photos with some of the models on that day. It’s amazing how they really dressed up to be like the anime characters.

Look at her face.. she was really tired holding that magic staff for really long time because a lot of people was taking her photo.

Skyfire – Best Mobile Web Browser?~


logo1.gifHave you ever browse to any websites on your phone, and found that you cannot load the site due to the incompatibility of your phone’s web browser? Websites that used a lot of flash plugins especially like youtube.com normally cannot be loaded via a normal phone web browser due to the flash / java version not supported by the browsers.

skyfire.PNGTry out Skyfire today. Skyfire is a free, downloadable mobile web browser that allows you to experience the internet on your phone exactly like on your PC. Now, you can use the full web from your mobile phone with unprecedented speed and simplicity – without the typical restrictions and limitations that current ‘mobile web’ efforts offer. This means you can open up websites like youtube, myspace, facebook just the same like what you see on your PC. Why? This is because Skyfire supports almost all plugins that these websites requires. Isn’t that fun?

Some may argue that new versions of Opera browser works like Skyfre too. But in my own experience, Opera will go very sluggish once flash components are loaded, which is a no no for me. :)

How to get Skyfire?

Currently Skyfire is still under open BETA versions and only available for people who lives in US only. However, there are tricks for you to get a hold on it for those outside of US.

First, you need to sign up for open BETA and register. You will need to key in your email and your US mobile phone number. Don’t worry though, I’ve tried keying in all sorts of number just to fill the column and it actually works! Then select the type of phone that you have.

Once you successfully registered, you will receive an email with the details just like below.

step1.jpg

Select Download to PC and you will be redirected to another page.

step2.jpg

Key in your password same as the one you registered and submit. You will be taken to a page with the download link.

step3.jpg

Download the file to your PC and transfer it to your mobile phone. You can install the application just by clicking on the file in your phone. There you have it, Skyfire on your phone! :)

This method only works for PDA phone. For symbian phones, I guess you will have to try it yourselves since I’m not sure whether u can download it into your phone and install it. But I guess the steps are just the same though~ :lol:

The sad part is, Skyfire does not support VGA screen phones yet. So if you are using phones like HTC Touch Diamond, forget about getting it now because once you launch the application, you’ll only see the browser appears in half of your screen.  :cry:

Have you been using Skyfire? Tell us about your experience will ya?

HTC Touch HD~


large2.jpgMy oh my, HTC is back again with something new. In order to counter the iPhone 3G, they came up with this new model called HTC Touch HD. HD stands for high definition. Why? This baby comes with a 3.8 inch wide, WVGA 480 X 800 pixel screen (iPhone comes with 3.8 inch screen but the resolution is lesser than this). So you can just imagine that you are carrying a PDA phone with a screen which looks exactly like the Sony PSP. Cool ain’t it?

Here are some cool specs for this gadget.

  • Processor :- Qualcomm® MSM 7201A™ 528 MHz
  • Memory:- 512 MB ROM & 288MB RAM
  • Camera:-5 megapixels camera with auto focus

The difference between Touch HD with Touch Diamond or Touch Pro is just the specs above including a 3.5 mm audio jack. Other than that, they are basically the same such as HSDPA, GPS, Bluetooth and so on.

Not to forget that Touch HD comes with a 1350mAh which should last longer than the predecessors but with the high resolution and bigger screen, I seriously doubt that it would actually last longer. In my opinion, the battery life would just the same as Touch Diamond, which really sucks!! :P

The family shot of the new Touch family – Touch HD, Touch Diamond & Touch Pro.

Touch in the hand~.

Although the battery life would seem like a problem for this gadget, but I really like the sleek, clean design and the looks of it. Yet, more and more phone makers (nokia, samsung, LG…) are coming out with this type of phone, all with a big wide touch screen, but not on Windows Mobile though… :P

Conclusion? With the cool looks of the phone, I’m sure it will make a big hit like the Touch Diamond once it is launched. The phone will only be out in December (if I’m not mistaken) so hopefully my hands will not get itchy to replace my current phone with this  :lol: Maybe Santa will put one in my socks during Christmas time?  :mrgreen:

Oh ya, did I mention before that I already owned a Touch Diamond since few months ago? Hmm.. Obviously not. My family and friends will sure scold me if I buy this phone in Christmas haha~ I guess I must change it secretly by that time, since the Diamond and HD looks quite alike, from far though…  :twisted:

Watch this Youtube video from HTC.

Bond Girl Catherine Mcqueen in Digi~


 bond-gal.jpg

Catherine Mcqueen (the Bond Girl in the Bond Series – Die Another Day) was in Digi last Friday. Being an actress/DJ/Model herself, she was playing the music for our little party in the Courtyard that day. Frankly speaking, I don’t really recall her in that movie as it was quite some time ago. Do you remember her in the movie?

The small drinking session was quite fun, where there were cakes and satay served for all of us. And of course, free flow of beers were provided!  :mrgreen: Haven’t eaten anything at all for the whole day, I was kinda drunk blur that day after having a few mugs of beer with satays. People always says that you don’t drink when your stomach is empty, don’t they? :p

Everyone gathered in front of the small stage where the DJ Catherine Mcqueen playing the trance music.

As time passed into the late evening, the big crowd was almost cleared and my manager and I decided to go in front and take a photo with her. She was very friendly though.

Gosh.. Look at the quality of the photo.. should’ve asked my colleague to take the photo with his 5 megapixel camera phone instead  :lol: Party was over, and it’s time to go back to work.  :wink:
