I love my phone... iPhone ^^

I love my iPhone.

At first, I thought it's only an iPod + call/sms capabilities. Even when I got it from the hand of the saleperson in Apple Store, Tigard, Oregon, I still think that I'd merely bought an large screen iPod coupled with 'ciplak' phone features. However, I changed my perception towards iPhone after I unlock it!

Other than the thin size body (11.6mm) which allows me to put it into my pants pocket without trace; Other than the extremely responsive touch screen which allows me to enjoy the smooth navigation; Other than the 8GB memory capacity which allows me to put in 4 videos, 250 over mp3's, ~1000 photos and still leave me 4GB free space; other than...

Wonderful themes available in the internet allows me change it everyday. Notice my name at the left upper corner. It's one of my personal favourite teabits. :)



It's a cool features that I can randomly arrange my photos display and drag/enlarge/minimize them to any way I want...



Interactive 'chat-room' style of SMS.



With 3rd party application installed, I can key-in chinese words in SMS/Email/etc using either 拼音(pinyin) or...



Handwritting... (just install this application yesterday, ugly handwritting of mine, keke)



I also can sketch on the photo taken and email to others directly.



Needless to say... it's one of the coolest function that iPhone offers! YouTube everywhere! Now, I can watch HardGay when I'm shitting.



Wonderful net surfing experience on iPhone by using Safari browser. See, I can post entry/ reply comments to my blog easily now.



Multiple webpage surfing capability allows me to read news, blogging, msn at the same time...



Google map in my iPhone... to bad that local telecommunication service doesn't allow me to perform routing, else it'll be very close to GPS system already. Szeepy, don't ask me to draw map to my house anymore, refer to this map and come to my house ya :)



With application installed, I can check all the public webcam everywhere in the world with a click. Able to check on Penang Bridge webcam easily make this application useful to me...



MSN on iPhone. There are 2 ways to MSN in iphone. I can log in MSN through iphone-msn.com or through a third party application named Apollo.



It can syncronize with my company calendar. So that I won't miss any meeting.


Checking personal email. One disadvantage is that it doesn't allow me to access company email.



Cover flow feature when I'm playing music... but not all pirated mp3 has the cover :)




Lyrics searching allows me to read the lyrics concurrently while playing mp3



And, there are many more applications out there to be explored and it's growing with the expanding user community around the world!


Of course there are a lot of disavantages of iPhone.



  1. No 3G. I have to downgrade my 3G service to GPRS. No 3G means no video call

  2. No MMS! <-- this is unacceptable X(

  3. No video recording! WTH ~

  4. Most unacceptable: terrible phone calling features. Sometimes I have to re-dial a few times to make a successful call X(

  5. Non-user replacable battery. Once it's 'kong' the phone is 'kong'
  6. Large screen consumes a lot of energy. One full battery charge can only last 1 day if I keep on surfing, playing game...

As a summary, iPhone is only powerful if it's within WiFi coverage. Without WiFi, it's only a large screen iPod + 'ciplak' phone features. But, I still love it wor ~ ^^

Kenangan Terindah

翻了翻旧照片,看了看旧电话里的留言,
任由思绪飘到了记忆边缘,渐渐地模糊了我的双眼;
昔日一起唱过的歌,又不停地萦绕在我耳边。

人总会在错过以后,才惊觉曾经拥有的幸福已流失于指缝间。
这是我们挽留不住的往昔,唯有把统统都放在心里,熬成最美好的回忆...



Kenangan Terindah
By Samsons

Aku yang lemah tanpamu
Aku yang rentan karena
Cinta yang t'lah hilang
Darimu yang mampu menyanjungku

Selama mata terbuka
Sampai jantung tak berdetak
Selama itu pun aku mampu
Untuk mengenangmu

Darimu kutemukan hidupku
Bagiku kaulah cinta sejati

Chorus :
Bila yang tertulis untukku
Adalah yang terbaik untukmu
Kan kujadikan kau
Kenangan yang terindah dalam hidupku
Namun takkan mudah bagiku
Meninggalkan jejak hidupku
Yang t'lah terukir abadi
Sebagai kenangan yang terindah

Darimu kutemukan hidupku
Bagiku kaulah cinta sejati

Chorus



Translation: The Most Beautiful Memory

I , who is weak without you
I, who is old because
Of the love lost from you
(Love) which can carry me through

As long as my eyes are open
Until my heart stops beating
This long, I will remember you

From you, I found my life
For me, you are my true love

If what's written for me (destiny) is what's best for you
I will make you the most beautiful memory of my life
But it won't be easy for me to leave this path (footprints) of my life
(That has been) paved (carved) permanently as my most beautiful memory

The aftermaths of K's

K session 1 : The Kap Siao K (a.k.a. sick ppl but still want to kap siao K)
when : 7pm - 11pm 11th April 2008
where : Redbox Gurney Plaza, Penang

Since we have not gone to Redbox for 1 month it's so stressful to work at my company, we've decided to release our tension in Redbox :) And, the most important purpose is to Kap Siao you-know-who! You see, this is our gang, we always find a lot of reasons to justify our outing. I'm ok with all sort of justifications, but these are extremely important to them who have wife at home, haha!

The plan has started smoothly where everyone say 'yes' to the suggestion happily. When it's closer to the day, as expected, Jack Jack told us how 'boh bian' he is and he had to put us aeroplane. Well, this thing always happened in the past, we were not surprised at all. What really surprised us was, CK the Humsloo fell sick on the day of the K (the K is at night, and he was MC in the morning), making him the first sick people of kap siao K! From CK's sms, "I'm a dead man", we decided to sing in grief in the hope that CK can rest in pissed...

Just a few hours later, Sam mou la la approached and requested for Panadol. So he was the 2nd sick people of Kap Siao K. Same thing happened on Chang. About at the same time, he started sneezing, one follow another. So he is the third sick people of Kap Siao K. Because both Sam and Chang were not willingly resting in pissed, they went on the plan with taking 2 pills each.

Like usual, we sang a great variety of songs, from Chinese, Cantonese, English to Malay; from sentimental, R&B to Rock; from 70's, 80's, 90's to new pop songs! The K session was great even though we had two sick cats in the room! As a matter of fact, the sick cats were more energetic than before :) Chang even danced! And I also can't forget the spontaneous 'yum sheng' session where Chang suddenly jumped up to toast with all of us ~ And sure, a lot of kap siao on you-know-who too!

The K session ended at 11pm with 2 sick cats, and the rest of voiceless members. Luckily the rest of us did not fall sick on the next day because we stayed with the sick cats in a small confined room for 4 hours. One last note, CK the Humsloo, you miss it :)


Singer of the Day: Chang! Because he was the most Kap Siao ~

K session 2 : Farewell K
when : 10pm 12th April - 4am 13th April
where : Redbox Gurney Plaza, Penang



This is a farewell session with another gang of friends. Ms Secretary Kean Wah (aka Janice) is going to leave us for a new job at KL. So Mr President Yew Jin had called an ad-hoc meeting at Redbox.

The K session started with a slow beginning because this was the first time I joined this gang in the Redbox. However, it slowly ramped up after a few of warm up songs. In this session, we sang even greater variety of songs. From Frank Sinatra's, Elvis's, BeeGee's until Mc Hot Dog's, Gavin DeGraw's, Jay's! We even sang Japanese songs which I don't know how to read the song titles. Just know there are some theme songs for a few famous Japanese anime, including Sailor Moon :S

I can't really sing much because I've lost my voice in the Kap Siao K the night before. But with the 'goreng' of Yew Jin, I still joined him in 'I don't want to miss a thing', 'One night in Beijing', 'I don't want to be' etc crazy songs, making me sound more sexy today.

The K session ended at 4am in the morning (not the song name), with all the zombies slowly walked out RedBox. One last note, "Kean Wah, wish you all the best in your new career in a new place! We can always go singing again whenever you come back! (",) "


Singer of the Day: none other than Mr President Yew Jin
