The Hunch

If my memory serves me right, i have been taking photos for everyone else in various occasions ever since i know how to hold a camera. To tell the truth, it's mainly due to the fact that i think i will ruin the photo. Get what i mean? XD it's true, i was like a hippopotamus , both literal and figurative meaning. Boy was i unhappy about it back then.

Well things haven't not change much even now. I still like taking photos. The reason is still there but merely affect how i feel. I don't really care much these days. Being judged is not the way i want things to be but sometimes you can't help having the feeling of being so. Hypocritical? Not a good choice of words but yeah, it happens in our very society. Alright end of sad, nostalgic memories.

This is my dog. Took it with my camera. Duh. Enjoy :)

If Pictures Could Speak...

I like this photo. It tells me something about me.

Creative Zen Stone - Shuffle Killa (Review)

As most of you had known, i am sort of a techgeek ; in the 'cool' way. Enough said. :)

Creative Zen Stone had just reached the Malaysian tech market few days back. Priced at approximately RM 169 for 1 GB , it can be considered as one of the cheapest yet latest mp3 player to date. Since i was not paid by my ex-company to do the review, i had to get the mp3 player myself. :( So disappointing. But well, i have been considering for an mp3 player for quite some time. So without further delay,





This is what comes together in the box set. A mini usb cable, standard 3.5mm jack earphones, the shining Zen Stone and Quick Start Manual.


Darn, Creative can be soo stingy at times. The mini usb cable is just a few millimeters longer than my liquid correction pen.


The top of the Zen Stone. From left, that's the port for 3.5 mm jack. The button for folder skipping, replay and shuffle. And finally a small small hole for the reset function.


And that's the mini usb port. As u can see, the Zen Stone doesn't feel plastic at all despite being made fully of them. The cover however is prone to dust and finger prints. By all means it should be kept in a small bag or you can buy the sports strap, key chain or the rubber cover later when it's in the market.


I'm sort of surprised myself when got it. It's so small you can barely feel the weight.



The quality of music is what to be expected from Creative. A good amount of bass, sufficient treble and high-lows. I gave these few songs a try with the bundled headphones,

1. Cupid Chokehold - Gym Class Heroes
2. The Moment - Kenny G
3. Last Train Home - Lostprophet
4. Dance Dance - FOB
5. Wait for you - Elliot Yamin

And all of them sound great, but with a little tolerance with the base. All in all, the music quality is great.


Conclusion
This is a good attempt by the people in Creative to beat Apple's grasp in mp3 players. At least with Ipod Shuffle. With the price tag of RM169 , it's definitely a good choice for beginner and fashion conscious alike.

Professionalism

My last post was quite a gloomy one. I realized that sometimes i should just skip the ugly details of my life from this blog which i did not do in the last blog. So from now on, i will just keep 'some' of the details to myself and keep this blog as professional as i could. (laughing in background) XDD

I was at the post office for the whole day today. Just to settle some mail and bills. I actually planned to stay there for just an hour seeing how our ministry was bragging about upgrading the services by paying more wages to the government servant. If you think one hour is long, let me tell you about today first.

As i entered the building, there were few seats without people on it with numbered tickets waiting to be announced by that efficient digital voice. "Satu tiga empat dua..". I promptly press the ticket machine and my jaw dropped when i see the number i got. "Satu tiga sembilan sembilan" ! I was like 'OMFGBBQ" . That means there are 56 people more to go! Then i checked the time and the counters. There is only 2 operating counters. It 12.02 pm aka Friday prayers time. No wonder la.

Irked by the scene, i decided to take my brunch at Old Town and stayed there for 2 hours. Zzzzzzzzzzz. When i came back to the post office, it was almost deserted. And there are 4 open counters, only 2 are operating while the other 2 are sitting there chatting. Lucky me, everything was fast. But the scene was a sight of sore eyes. Talk about professionalism. Heh.





p/s : i have in no whatsoever grudges against anyone in this post, just plain opinions. I don't hate our government :)

Hello everybody!

After struggling for a few days, i finally managed to get this done. This is my new and final blog!

Nothing much cause i'm really not a super-duper-bombastic-dramatic blogger. The realization of this blog comes after a near life and death experience. No, i'm not joking. I was suspected to have inherited some sort of cancer from my dad as i had the same gall bladder pain that my dad had way before he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Alright, nothing emotional. Turned out i was cleared out as the check up turned out fine. (for now maybe.) So for that whole week (when i was waiting for my stupid medical check up) , i had my time to do some serious thinking. About what i wanted to do, about what i'm doing and about what i planned to do.

I wanted to travel, take photos of them and enjoy the various culture of the world.

So far so good. I don't intend to make my very first post to be gloomy. Actually it helps me to decide on somethings. So keep on reading~!
