Living Inside The Box

Pros and cons

2012-01-17T19:31:00.015+08:00

Here's a post from me that was inspired by TheOatmeal.com. Just reading this post by him gave me an idea on what to write *cough draw cough*. By the way, for those who wants to laugh until they fart or just enjoy craptastic reading, support his work!

Anyway here's my version. Enjoy (I hope wtf):

Pros of owning a gun:

Probably look bad ass with it.

Cons of owning a gun:

You probably shoot yourself on the leg while playing with it.

Cons of being Edward Cullen:

Pros of being Edward Cullen:

He glitters so instant torchlight

Pros of living with 3 girls:

You feel like that.

Cons of living with 3 girls:

Their period came at the same time.

Summary of days in Hong Kong

2012-01-04T21:56:00.014+08:00

Hello fellow wonderful, lovely, talented readers wtf. Sorry for the absence. After rushing through my work and one week trip plus few more days of nothingness, here I am back again! Yes, I do have a life outside blogging (ignore the word nothingness there fml)!

Of course right now, I got my mojo back! Err, sort of. Okay, I got it back now! So let it begin before it escapes me again (because imma post lots of pictures muahahahahaha wtf).

Let me just first talk a little bit about my trip in Hong Kong before I bombard you with pictures.

Firstly, a myth will be debunk. The people in Hong Kong are not as rude as I thought they would be. Sure they seem to be rushing to places all the time but not as rude as I heard. Of course there is this one case when I have to slowdown to look around and then suddenly one sweaty chef shouted "Hang Hoi!!" (Move aside!!) at me wtf. It was 10 degrees and he is actually sweaty with singlet on. That must be some kind of hell's kitchen.

Secondly, is the space there. What space? There is barely none!! All you get to see are high rise buildings. If you think KL is a concrete jungle, wait until you see THE concrete jungle. But, below all those concrete jungle is another story. There are lots and lots of small stores. And the food there is cheap! So go up high for class and go way down for... grass? Sorry, can't rhyme it wtf.

Finally is their MTR. Until now I have no idea what it means and I am too lazy to Google it so I shall call it Most Terrer Railway. Our LRT really kalah teruk (lose badly) to the MTR. I think it takes two or three of our trams to match one tram in MTR. And yes, while reading this, you might pronounce MTR as MRT in Singapore. I know I did. #guilty

Finally finally (Yes, just let me add one more). In the MTR, it is like war. Seriously. If you think that you manage to be first in line, just wait and see. When the MTR arrives, out of nowhere, you will be the last in line. Their cutting line technique is lvl87 compare to our mere lvl32 wtf.

Okay, as promised, here are the pictures:

Day One: The Peak (literally)

Don't worry, no suicidal thoughts here.

Bush said show me the money.

Day Two: I forgot wtf

My shot for the night lights there.

Hallelujah! OK, I have no idea what they sang

Santa, you lost some weight. Must be the 2D effect wtf

Day Three: Disney... wait for it.. Land!

After all this work is sexy time at night wtf

The castle you see in every Disney movie, minus the people

Snow White looked high on drugs. Seriously.

Stitch was just too tall

Day Four: Museum for free! (and getting lost)[and Mong Kok]

Look at the structure of the sign.. It is so.. Who am I kidding, it is just an ordinary sign wtf

Because it is a barrel of FUN! whistle~

When you see it...

Hello market that beats our longest pasar malam.

Day Five: Wet wet at Ocean Park wtf

Entertaining dude and he speaks better Cantonese than me fml

Proof that we were in Ocean Park.

And yes, I sat the scariest roller coaster there. #victorybaby.jpg

Floating dude

Day 6: Stan Lee.. I mean Stanley Market

Again, proof

Hence, began our exploration and Indiana Jones I am not wtf

Oh, the irony

Did I mentioned 'summary' on the title? I meant 'sort-of-a-summary'. Kthxbye.

Calv out!

Aloooo!!

2011-12-18T06:10:00.002+08:00

Yes, this is yours truly! No, I haven't forgot about my blog!! Did my blog miss me? If my blog can talk, it will just say FUCK YOU to me wtf.

Anyway, the reason I am blogging at such ungodly hour is because I can't sleep. Nah, just kidding. I am on the way to KLIA!! Quick, ask me why!!! Since you ask so politely (I am so lonely that I assume people actually ask me fml) I am flying off to Hong Kong!!

Yeah man! I was rushing my work and hence the super less update for December. Let me think of a topic to blog about. Looking at my surroundings, I got nothing wtf.

Anywhere I should visit in HK? Alright, that's all for now. I am practically sleep blogging now wtf. Don't miss me (please miss me wtf).

Calv out!

5 Ridiculously Addicting Memes

2011-11-25T17:19:00.008+08:00

Thanks to this video, I can finally brush the dust off this article. It has been sitting in my drafts collecting dust. Plus, all my info are mostly typed out wtf.

There were a lot of definition for meme but for now, I just want to touch on Internet meme. Make my life a bit easier. Anyway, here's a very simple definition of meme: An image, video, etc. that is passed electronically from one Internet user to another. OK, so that's not that clear. Here's what I think it should be: Ideas and concept that spread via Internet.

That's that. Now onto my top picks for favourite memes:

5 - I can has cheezburger?

The power of bad grammar or typo has earn its place in history. Err, I think so. Anyway, combine this with a cat and you will get LolCats. Initially, I really don't know what's so funny about it but it has its own charm.

You have this all thanks to a dude name Eric Nakagawa. With 1.5 million hits a day, he is LOL'ing for himself. It must be the mix heritage wtf.

Anyway thanks to that, you will get a lot more cats with their cat-astrophic grammar wtf wtf. Must be the lolcats effect.

4 - Horrifying House guest

I like horror so this meme is a no brainer. Normally, memes are suppose to make you laugh if not insulted. But take a look at this one and you know you'll definitely feel uneasy after reading the captions. BOO wtf.

It first came about as a great pencil sketch. Then it got spread around with people adding text to the image an cropping it. And then the popularity increased. If you don't know this, it is still alright. The sketch first appeared this year on June 28.

This is one of my favourite.

Oh well, that's it. Just make sure you are a good runner. The light switch seems awfully far from you.

3 - Awesome smiley

I am ashamed to say that I've never actually seen this before until I saw Wei Lian using this as her Firefox background. This smiley gain popularity in forums. The Awesome Face was actually part of a few emoticons designed for the Pokemon-related web forum Pokemopolis. To find out more about it, just head over here.

The reason for using this smiley is very simple. It is a sign of approval. Saw a delicously cooked bacon topped with whatnot from expensive market? Awesome smiley. Beat someone in an Internet comment debate? Awesome smiley. Think my blog is cool? Awesome smiley. wtf

2 - Trollface

One of the most epic memes is the Trollface. In the face of disaster or absurd, he is there. Plus, with a face like that, anyone will want to punch the person. As you know, the Trollface is very successful as it has one of its own comic site.

The origin of this meme is sort of the ultimate trolling. A MSPaint comic made by deviantArt user Whynne about the pointless nature of trolling was uploaded on September 19th, 2008. That means he was AGAINST trolling. He wanted to base the face on a character called Rape Rodent. Little did he know that this comic he drew created a trollface Internet phenomenon!

The original comic:

The irony works against Whynne. But I thank him wtf.

1 - Nyan Cat

Oh yeah, I was addicted to this. Like seriously. Imagine listening to it for almost an hour. The same repetitive music. The same cat. The same space. After that, all I could say was nyan nyan nyan nyan the whole day wtf.

We have this wonderful phenomenon thanks to a dude who called himself prguitarman. Before Nyan Cat, he named it Pop Tart Cat. The evolution of its name is thanks to a YouTuber, saraj00n, who uses a Vocaloid's song called Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya. I kid you not. Such songs were ACTUALLY composed (by a Japanese artist named Daniwell-P)wtf.

Despite all the craziness, when Pop Tart Cat and Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya combined, it became a land filled with gold. Right now, you can even go to an official site for you to test how long you can stand it: http://nyan.cat/ . It is no joke that we need a cat that shits rainbow as the ambassador for world peace. Seriously wtf.

Just click here for one more Trollface before I end my article.

Calv out

If you actually did that you've been Rick Roll'd!

Bonus

The pop song "Never gonna give you up" was sung by Rick Astly. How this happen is quite simple. In the beginning, it was known as Duckroll. I seriously have no idea how did that happened. That's when you will see a duck in wheels.

After awhile, it evolved to this thanks to the wonders of Youtube. The idea here is to trick a user (you if you did click, HAHAHA) to click on a fake link by providing them fake information such as "THE NEW PREVIEW OF AVENGERS 2012" or something like that wtf.

For an in depth read, like seriously a research was actually done about memes, here you go.

Calv out (for realz)

It is actually here.
Kthxbye.

Calv out! (for realz, for realz)

Horrible incident

2011-11-20T21:51:00.009+08:00

Long and whining post ahead. If you have the time, please read it.

The short version is this: Colleague got robbed. Head got slashed. Report to police. Doctor don't want to treat because got medical report to fill. Police not helping in anyway. System is fuck up.

This is something horrible that happened a week ago. One of my colleague got robbed. That's not the worst part. He got slashed as well. Worst still, THAT is not the worst part. First, let me start with his story. He was walking to his car and got his head into the car when two idiots approached him.

The first guy tapped his shoulder. When my colleague looked back, his head got hit by the guy's machete (parang). He was bleeding but not profusely. The next guy kept on poking his stomach with a GUN. What you expect to happen? They took his stuff and ran off in a black car (not local car). My colleague went to office without realising that his head was bleeding. Talk about shock.

When I arrived at office and heard the whole story, I was of course shocked as well. I followed him to the police station to help him translate from English to BM. The police was nice at first asking him the usual. Where it happen and how it happen. Do he recognise the people and car plate.

The horrific part starts now. After that, we need to fill up the medical part of the form. So we went to the clinic. Apparently private clinics refuse to treat him citing the reason that only government clinic or General Hospital can fill in the report. So we thought fine.

We returned to the police hoping that they could help us. But no! They said that all this is out of their jurisdiction. So what if it is out of their jurisdiction? Haven't they heard of the term GOOD SAMARITAN? Just take him to the nearest government clinic or hospital. Simple as that! And they call themselves police. Guess what, they did nothing so I got fed up and left the place to head to the nearest government clinic.

Later, I drove my colleague over to a government clinic near Jalan Usahawan. Pusat Keluarga something. That freaking clinic, mind you, a GOVERNMENT CLINIC, refused to treat him as well. I was about to shout at them for not wanting to treat an injured 50 YEAR OLD MAN. All this just because there was a police report to fill. What? So scared of police? Don't know how to write is it? You talk and I write. Simple.

So with that, we left that stupid place and headed for the GH, Hospital KL. I know that we can drop people off at the emergency section but that place SEALED it off! Seriously. How am I to drop him there?

I have to continue driving inside the GH area following a freaking long jam. IN THE HOSPITAL. There was no parking, no one to help us and no one to guide us. What happened next is that the line that the worker's there formed lead us all the way OUT from the hospital. Way to go. Great job.

My colleague, had enough of it, said that he won't file the medical report and just proceeded with the normal police report. Returning to the police station, we have to continue to file the report with out any medical report in it. After typing it out, we left the police station. He had to go back to office to WIPE the dried blood off his head. Can you IMAGINE if he was seriously injured. Thank everything else that he was alright.

Did I mention that while the policeman was writing the report, he stopped every time to chat with his colleague? Plus, he answered his mobile phone chatting away. Is this the kind of treatment you give to a VICTIM? If that is human, I rather not be a human. Our system is fuck up.

We need to be able to file a report with medical report WITHOUT having government clinic or hospital to treat people. Any doctor will do. So let's take a moment and think. If they do, then what if the clinic refuses to do so as well? That's fuck up too! YOU ARE A DOCTOR. THINK FOR HEAVEN SAKE THE REASON YOU BECAME A DOCTOR. If it is for money, then get the fuck off to hell. Doctors had to take an oath to help people. What happened to that oath?

Seriously folks, our system is entirely fuck up if we need to go through so many procedures. The police won't lend a hand because it is out of their "jurisdiction" and doctors refuse to help because there is a medical report that needs to be filled.

Now you know why a lot of crimes happen.

Calv out.

Quickie Jakarta for Samsung World Tour

2011-11-11T11:40:00.008+08:00

Lucky me (seriously lucky, no joke) that I got to go to Jakarta, Indonesia for a Samsung event. Nah, I won't be touching on the event there. Work la, don't want to talk too much about it wtf.

Anyway, once we got there, we were rushed for a quick tour in the bus. So most of the pictures you see is mostly from inside the bus wtf.

Picture dump starting NOW:

This is our first stop. Some place like Sungei Wang but WAY bigger. This is the first time I had seen so many optical shops. Like the WHOLE row!!! It created like an optical illusion (pun intended wtf) as if a mirror is there. But thankfully couldn't see my reflection. Or my face will just splat over there wtf.

The Indonesia Monument. That's the closest we were able to go wtf.

You couldn't imagine my joy when I saw the beds. One for me and another one for me! My dream of sleeping horizontally came true wtf. Sadly, there is no time for rest fml.

The view from my room Shangri-la offered. Err, that's all wtf.

Ritz Carlton's shopping area. Reminds me of JW Marriot in KL but much brighter wtf.

My attempt at not sucking with fine dining fail miserably.... T.T

The power of bamboo. Who needs steels? We should adopt this. Maybe Jackie Chan will come.

Just because I can.

Our last stop before heading to airport. That shrimp was looking at me like "I dare you to eat me!" and I did wtf.

Oh, that's the name of our last stop.

Err, that's about it. Not so bad right? I feel like a mix of food blogger blend with architecture photographer wtf.

Seriously, there was really no time for me to sit and observe people. If there was time, you'll get to see at least one crummy picture of myself. You know, vain pot attempt wtf.

Here's two things I learnt from the tour guide while I was in Jakarta.

Private own cars need to have at the very least three passengers. If not, the police can saman! Yea, they will fine you 300,000 Rupiah! So the driver's solution is to pick up passengers along the way. There will be people standing on the road with their index finger pointing up showing them that they are available. Best part is, other than the free ride, they get PAID for siting in the car. From 25,000 Rupiah onwards. I could do that as a side income wtf.

Another thing was the fact that you can really see the divide between the poor and the rich. Just look at the houses and you'll know. It moves gradually from wooden houses to brick houses to high rise apartments. But according to our tour guide, even the poor can make money. They will normally stand around U-turn or traffic light asking for money. And in a day, they can earn 10,000 Rupiah. So in a year, their 'income' is 3,000,000 Rupiah. Not a lot but it is enough to survive.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus - New contender?

2011-10-28T10:25:00.010+08:00

The hype over iPhone 4S should die down and then comes another one. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be launching during Q4 of this year. And what do you know, we are now in the Q4! Since October passes without the any sign of the phone's officially release, lets hope that November or December will be a better prospect. Right now, here's what you need to know:

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

Yes, Android decides to sweeten things up with this. The Galaxy Nexus will be the first phone with the latest Android on it. Two most distinctive feature from Android 4.0 is Face Unlock and Android Beam.

Firstly is the Face Unlock feature, which is already self-explanatory. Just peer into the front-facing camera, and it will read your face to unlock the phone. This is just one of Google's way to beef up your phone's security. But here's the thing, will this truly work for you or against you? You can't really get it to recognise your face at one try. Remember the Face Unlock failure here? Looks like we have to wait to find out more.

Next is the Android Beam. This feature allows you to share information by just tapping the Galaxy Nexus with another NFC-enabled device. You can expect websites, videos, directions, and apps zapped from one phone to the other. And by reading this, you'll know that the Galaxy Nexus is also an NFC-enabled device. Let's hope that we can make use of Google Wallet in the near future with this.

Other than that, say hello to voice typing. Well, nothing new here because voice to text have been around for quite awhile. This could be the improved version of it. As a Google phone, there will be Google Plus built into the smartphone. And for those widget lovers, you can finally resize your widget to your liking.

Display

This is normally the first thing you noticed in a phone. Coming in at 4.65 inches (1280 x 720 pixels), the Galaxy Nexus is still within the 4-inch range. That's good as it can sit comfortably in your hand without needing to stretch your fingers a little. On a personal note, the most I can take from any phone is a display that is less than 5 inches. Anything more than that will be a drag (hint: Samsung Galaxy Note at 5.3).

Also, it has a HD display meaning you will get a lot of crisp images on your phone. Unlike the Galaxy SII, it uses Super AMOLED display and it still looks great. Sure, it would be nicer with Super AMOLED Plus as there will be great depth in pictures but from the looks of it, the display still presents itself well. Do take note that the larger display could result in lower pixel density meaning that it may not be the sharpest one in the market.

Here's another surprise, you won't get Gorilla Glass with this latest Android phone. You heard it right. But don't worry. Samsung said that it uses a 'fortified glass' and nothing more. Looks like we need to wait again to know for sure the kind of glass they used. The device also boast Contour Display where it curves to the shape of your face. Well, that's what Google said but it is hard to tell without having the phone here with us.

Lights, camera, action!

Here's a bit of a disappointment. The camera on Galaxy Nexus is only 5 megapixels. But let's not forget that MP isn't everything. That's just how big it can be use to print a picture. Despite that, it can take HD pictures so don't worry too much on that department. You can view sample shots from the smartphone through engadget.

With the 1.2 GHz dual-core processor backing it up, taking picture is in a faction of a second. After snapping a picture, the camera will be ready for another action almost immediately. Not to mention, you can quickly access the camera through the lock screen, which is convenient, when you want to take picture immediately.

You can also record Full HD (1020p) thanks to the power of dual-core. As an added bonus, the phone gives you the ability to zoom while video recording. Well, that's about it in the video department.

Other specs

You'll get 1,750mAh battery with Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The reason is because the device could use up a lot more power with its big display.

There will be a 16GB and 32GB version of the phone for you consider. It seems that there is no slot for microSD card, which is too bad. The LTE version will be available depending on region. So that could possibly translate to us getting the 3G version of Galaxy Nexus.

Impression

It looks like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has the kicks to be a great phone. But let's not forget that it has quite a few worthy rivals like the iPhone 4S and Motorola Droid Razr. Take away Android Ice Cream Sandwich from it and the smartphone is just another higher end ordinary device. Let's hope that the launch of Samsung Galaxy Nexus will propel more phones that will fully utilise the Android 4.0. I'll leave you with the video introducing the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Music through time in awesome pictures!

2011-10-19T22:44:00.010+08:00

If music can be interpreted in picture, isn't it awesome? Of course it is very hard to do so but I would like to try it out wtf.

Over the time from cave people until now, music evolves. So let's start with the wonderful years of being caveman and cavewoman (I don't discriminate), where everything is back to basic.

Famous music lyrics from back then: "Aaaaaahhh!!"

So this should be the painting for it:

Next is around the year 1000. Yes, I am leaping few thousand years later because I need to get some sleep wtf.

This is when there is actually harmony.

Famous lyrics from back then: "Ah aaah aaaaaahhh beh!"

Without this, you won't get Linkin Park. Think about it wtf.

Oh, and the picture interpretation for it:

Yes, I cheated. I can't draw this for nuts wtf.

And then came the era of silent film. Yes, that's the time when you can only see the the dialogue after the actor's mouth moves! Everything is illustrated by music. Err, yea, this is in the 1900s or before that. Don't ask what happen to opera. It is in the 1597 from Italy. That's all you'll get from me wtf.

Famous lyrics from back then: "..................................."

Here's the picture again:

It is not Hitler or cowboy or Hitler pretending to be a cowboy wtf. CHARLIE CHAPLIN!

Introducing, the era of boy bands! This is where hormone raging girls scream and faint for them while their boyfriends sulk and plot to kill them off with pencils. Yup, the boybands will dance and sing just for your entertainment. 1950s is the acapella types and in the 1960s, you heard of the Jackson 5? Does Michael Jackson ring a bell? Yes, he is from that group. And black plus handsome wtf. Back when MTV was cool!

Famous lyrics from then: "Easy as A,B,C 1,2,3"

Picture bla bla bla:

(Insert witty comment, too lazy to think)

And finally, music at this time. Lovers of this song will be my hater:

Famous lyrics: "FGeoaot aopmvp[a aopwjbma[pp tnka" (Writer's note: sarcasm intended)

Oh God. This is the first time I watch the video. Erase my memory NOW.

Yes, some starts to make no sense at all. So here's the last pic:

Seriously. We are back in ancient times.

Calv out.

Short update

2011-10-12T21:36:00.005+08:00

No offense.... hahahaha

Nothing major here. Just a short update.

Recently, I have to say good bye to my column called "Should I really get it?" that talked about smartphone and tablet accessories from Bluetooth devices to backseat iPad holder. It was fun while it lasted but I decided to end it as thinking from a readers point of view, it is not that interesting FML.

Anyway, there will be a new corner called "What's in your bag?" and again it is lead by yours truly. This time, instead of devices I will be focusing on people. And if by now you still don't know what this corner is about, go to the toilet and dunk your head in the toilet bowl wtf.

Anyway, if you are out of the toilet already, the column will be about the things in people's bag. Yes, I will be your personal space invader.

Get it? Get it? Personal "space invader" wtf

Of course I will be looking for your gadgets first instead of the condom or make up kit in your bag wtf.

So look out people, if this stranger suddenly approach you, please don't run away. YOU are source of my story, YOU will appear in the magazine not me (I-wish-I-have-my-5-minutes-of-fame wtf).

Nah, here's a draft of your page wtf:

Aren't you glad I am not the one designing the mag wtf.

See, such a big spread for you!!! Woah!!!

Please support my column (blinding you with white sparkly shiny teeth wtf)

Goodbye CBOX

2011-09-28T11:32:00.006+08:00

This has been a thing that plagues me when I started to blog again. Zombies wtf no! Here's the damn thing, bloggers do have a thing called Chatbox. It is a wonderful creation as it reduce steps to comment on people's blog. I love it. I use. I want keep it here forever like the hairs on my head (Yes, I do fear that I will go botak wtf). Here's the sad thing, in a week time, I may remove it. Sorry all my loyal readers (if I have any wtf).

The reason (no, don't go Hoobastank on me) is very simple. Too many "noise." Noise as in "idiots." Idiots as in "losers." OK, OK, I know. This can go on forever. What I really meant was PEOPLE WHO WANTS TO DIE! As in SPAMMERS wtf.

Seeing so many people posting on my cbox made me feel great. Hey, I AM FAMOUS. Until I saw the links. Screw them for destroying my 15 seconds of *cough not really cough* fame. There goes all my self-confidence wtf. My lawyers are working to get RM1mil for me wtf.

The culprits are from two particular websites. First is BLOGOBO and the other is LEPAK.MY. No way am I linking them. Go Google them yourself. Yes, that is how much I dislike those sites (I don't link them back wtf). If I can benefit superior traffics from their visits, then it is fine. I will simply accept their spams.

Best part is the fact that they tried to hide it. Pretending that they are conversing with me like nothing happen. One of these days, I'll come to haunt you at night (look for the guy with a laser pointer wtf) - refer to P.P.S. Anyway just let me blow off some steam:

Firstly DO I LOOK LIKE I KNOW YOU? Yea, of course I do! Your name is "abg hero." A real life hero!!! OMG. And yes "Que," long time no see. When was it the last time we chat? I knew you 2,302,312,234,642 years ago, right? After being resurrected 54,125,235 times, we finally met again. Ah, "Elly," she is a beauty queen you know? All the way from INeverExistLand. She withdrew from Miss Universe because she is out of this universe! Geddit? Geddit? fml.

Secondly, my friends, when they visit my blog, will comment in the comment section. If not, those who posted on cbox, will at least mention what I wrote in my blog post. These spammers who comes from INeverExistLand will post stuffs like "Just make another visit" or "Like your blog, hope you like mine." Let me quote from my friend, Clement: "DO I LOOK LIKE I FUCKING CARE?"

Finally, the link. Usually, friends that comment on my cbox will not leave links or if they do, they will TYPE (OK, maybe copy paste wtf) their link! Don't you even bother giving me a shortened URL from bit.ly or adf.ly, or gofuckyourselfloving.ly. I will NEVER reply you. Seriously.

Well, that's all from me. Actually, I have no idea what to write about. So I ended up complaining again wtf. No, I am not an angry man in real life. I seem to take on a different personality online wtf. But this is a serious matter. It is even worst than your friend posting 1,000 pictures of themselves on Facebook!

Credit: to whoever drew this. Please, if you know the contributor, do inform me.

Calv out.

P.S. If you do know any benefits from receiving spams, you can tell me about it. Or at the very least, stop it from entering my cbox wtf.

P.P.S. I really do own a laser pointer thanks to Wei Lian. <3

Facebook Timeline: You tell your story

2011-09-23T22:47:00.010+08:00

*UPDATE - What if you want to get Timeline now? Check out the steps posted by Mashable.

For sometime, people should noticed the few minor changes to their Facebook page. Some lucky (or unlucky) ones got it earlier. Thankfully, this writer got it when they did the very early stage of changes. Today, many people should be getting their updates. Not sure about that but it seems that way. Be prepared as it is just a half-update. The man in blue, Zukerberg, has a plan.

More to come and you know it. Let's start with what we know. No more separating the "Most Recent" and "Top Post" anymore. What you get is a clean timeline. And yes, soon, you will know it as Facebook Timeline. If you didn't notice another changes, here you go: there is also the Ticker.

Two of a kind

So what does all this mean? Think of the Ticker like Twitter. They sound almost the same, so you can remember their functions as well. This, according to Zukerberg, is the lightweight social activity. You will see every status updates, every comments, every share and every everything your friends do in a fast pace direction.

The Ticker on your right above the chat feature

Let's not forget that back when Facebook first started, it was all EVERYONE will know this and that. It took them long enough to realise selective sharing. Not everyone needs to know everything. You don't want your parents to find out what happened last night after clubbing do you?

Choose the story line

Not only you get to select who you want to share it with but you can tell your own story. Don't like what's going on with this post? Hide it. Think that this event highlights your best effort, star it! Technically, the new Timeline will filter out the junk on your page. Think of the new Facebook Timeline as a blog. You blog what you want and they can't find any *ahem* crap *ahem* in it.

Let the apps help guide the story

Aha, could it be a threat from apps available for Google Chrome? Did Zukerberg feel the heat? Well, that we don't know but the new Facebook comes with a more sync apps. It will sound a little confusing because Facebook apps will now broadcast to Timelines and Tickers separately.... And automatically.

Your info when you allow it

What? This is outrages!! I want my rights!!! Yes yes, calm down. Of course you can disallow these services. If you do allow it, here's how. What you like or comment will instantly appear on your Ticker. However, your Timeline, in theory, would feature a summary. Let's use an example. Let's say you like this music so much. It will appear ASAP on your Ticker. After awhile, while collecting all the music you like, the Timeline will produce a summary of that month telling people that you like Rock music.

Remember, once you approve an app, it will work from the dark. Fading itself to the background. It will collect your information like how many miles you ran with RunKeeper app or your last watched movie. You can tell that Facebook want their apps to be accepted even more now. If not, what's the use of their new Timeline? There will be no stories to tell if you don't approve any apps.

In the end..

Well, you know that people always complain that they hate the Facebook update. Right now, how will the public react to this MAJOR update. It is a big thing. Let's hope they don't disappoint 800 million Facebook users. All of these tweaks are available now to most users. You should notice a pop-up prompt that will give you a brief guide through the changes. Take note that the Ticker is the box on your right.

For those of you who want to take part in this big change, you got to get in line first. Head here to check out how will your profile look like at the end of this month. You can sign on if you want to. The first batch of Timeline will be out on 29th September in America.

I got no sole

2011-09-19T20:55:00.006+08:00

I would like to begin by bursting your bubble wtf. No, it is not the hey-I-sold-my-soul-to-the-Devil soul. It's more of a shoe's sole. Just in case you don't get my title wtf (cue sad music).

Seriously, it happened twice. Last year and this year. I bet it will soon be an annual thing since it's two years in a row. Oh what did I do to deserve this wtf. I bet you during my past life I was, a thief. Who steals shoes fml.

Alright, back to those incidents. First one was last year during marathon. Standard Charted KL Marathon 2010. Ahh... That fateful day. With sun shining, less than three hours of sleep and overtook by a girl (Wei Lian wtf). Good times. Good times. Oops, did I type that twice? Well, that's on purpose. Again, I got sidetracked wtf.

Imagine me running for the past hour and I saw the sign, 9km. Wow, one more kilometer and I will get my SOLID metal medal (no gold, sorry wtf). Of course that motivated me to continue running *cough-walking-cough* and run I did *cough-crawling-cough* wtf. In that instance, I can hear the crowd but no finish line in sight yet. So I ran/walk/crawl harder. Really, I did.

Something like that but more severe wtf

Out of nowhere, the sole of my shoe decided to fly open. It has a mouth people!!! The angle of the mouth open would put a crocodile/snake to shame. It can fit two and half Big Mac in it. Still I will keep on running. Duh, damn beh shiok right if I stop and quit when the end is near wtf. Beh shiok means "doesn't feel good" in Hokkien btw.

Proud to say, I reach the finishing line with one side of the shoe's sole flying off. So boys and girls, lesson here is: don't wear an old Bata shoe for marathon wtf.

Alright, the second incident would be more interesting if it happened on stage wtf. Seriously I kid you not. Don't worry, it did not happen during this year's Standard Charted KL Marathon. I used Bata shoes again wtf. Less than a year old wtf. (edited: to clarify, the Bata shoe again is for the marathon. I am not so loyal to Bata until I buy their leather shoes wtf)

What was suppose to happen that didn't happen!!!!!!

Anyway, this happened on 10th April 2011. Not quite recent but it is this year wtf. For HELP University College students, I bet you know what this date means. Convocation yo! Yay, the transition from a student to a jobless person wtf. During the event, of course we have to go up on stage, bow, shake hands, grab cert, pose, and go down. Wow, so many steps. You can thank me later future HELP UC graduates wtf.

During that time, nothing went wrong, phew. It was after the convocation when we are ready for food. As I was walking towards the restaurant, my LEATHER SHOE's sole came off!!!!! And you can imagine my family's reaction. PLUS my wonderful girlfriend, Wei Lian wtf. Of course the burst of laughters were there. And thanks to the swift action from my grandma, she managed to safe my sole wtf. I am sure she framed my sole up hanging it somewhere that I can't find it. I still can't wtf.

Err, yea, grandma before ordering the frame for it. Kidding!! Or am I? wtf

I know that all of you were hoping for it to happen on stage BUT thankfully it didn't. If it did, there goes all my future prospect jobs wtf. Imagine during interview:

Interviewer: Hey, aren't you the dude who left your sole on stage? HAHAHAHA.. That was hilarious!

Me: Err.. Yea..

Interviewer: I mean, c'mon, for it to happen DURING your convo!! Can you imagine the embarrassment?

Me: Hahaha........ Yea, so unexpected....

Interviewer: I know, how can you live with yourself!! OMG, I get to tell this to my colleagues too!

Me: *gives interviewer lots of paper cuts while stabbing his eye with his pen on his desk*

Warning, graphic picture, oops too late

See, that's why I can never get a job if that happens. Thank God, only my family will remember it as "the day Calvin's sole came off" instead of "the day Calvin graduated" fml.

OK, that's all. Kthxbye.

Calv out.

Can Vs. May

2011-09-06T15:15:00.000+08:00

This is just a very simple post.

The wrong way:
"Can I go to the toilet?"

Looked simple, right? Well then, here's what will happen if the world goes according to that statement:

The right way:
"May I go to the toilet?:

And there you go! Piss at last. (Geddit, geddit? Peace? Piss? wtf):

The simple rule here is that "Can" means the ability to do something while "May" means asking for permission. Plus, it is more polite using "May" to others.

Get it?

Yea baby! You can bow now wtf.

Sundays' the real culprit

2011-09-03T22:02:00.006+08:00

After clicking the Astro remote control for the infinite-th time, switching between channels, I had a premonition. My holiday is going to end. Tomorrow is my last day!

The worst part is the fact that I didn't do anything productive during my holiday. My laziness can rival a pig's! After watching so many Mythbuster's episode, what had I achieve (other than being able to boast about extra stuff wtf)? This is really bad.

What are you smiling at?

Worst yet, tomorrow is Sunday! I know Garfield hate Mondays but it's a misplaced hatred! Seriously! After thinking really hard (in the toilet wtf), I came up with several conclusions!

Number one:
A lazy Sunday means a storm is about to happen on Monday. There will be no preparation for it.

Number two:
Sunday is constantly teasing people that it is a day off when it meant the LAST break of the week.

Number three:
The culprit for Monday stress is Sunday. It made us too relax so that we falter on Monday!

Number four
The calender always mark itself red on Sundays just to rub it in. We know we got work tomorrow!! Don't need a reminder.

Well, that's all so far wtf.

What? You expected more? Well, it is just a new found enemy. Let me study its moves more. Remember to punch them on their face when they wish you "Happy Sunday." They deserve it wtf.

Remember the face of the enemy wtf.

And this has got nothing to do with Christianity! God rests on Sunday, I know. It's a good day. Don't burn/nail me on a cross. It's just a worker who needs to vent on something wtf.

Blog Day: 6 Blogs I recommend

2011-08-28T23:27:00.008+08:00

So what up people? The ceiling (Sorry, I can't help it wtf). It's been a long time since I tried any blog contest so here goes. I will try to recommend 6 great blogs for Blog Day that I encountered.

So what's the lowdown on Blog Day? It was created "with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest" (Nuffnang, August 2011). Fuiyo, I still remember how to cite like a thesis. Not that I ever want to do it again wtf. Nuffnang will be celebrating the 6th Blog Day on 31st August 2011! Hey, what a coincidence! That's our Independence Day yo! Good timing wtf.

Check out my fav six bloggers (click on the title to go to their blog).

Hana's Journal Life

First off, as I am (trying ever so hard) learning the Japanese language for fun and my own benefit. I love to read Japanese manga, watch anime and recently I struck gold finding this blogger's artwork. I discovered this Malaysian blogger few months ago and have been reading his/her blog. I cannot imagine being an illustrator and the blogger really helps me sees it.

What's cool about the blog is that, the writer knows what he/she is illustrating about. Dubbed as a Japanholic, the blogger really took his time to learn Japanese art style . You can actually see that most of his post features a drawing or two in Japanese manga drawing style. Also, let's not forget that the blogger did his/her own anime. Simple but the drawings are good. Songs and anime recommendations are there too. If you like something about the Japanese, it is worth checking out this Japanholic's blog.

Nasi Hangit

Next on the entry is this dude. Food blogger he is not. If I need some entertainment, I'll just head over here. Seriously, the stuffs he posted up are funny and he can blog quite well too. Quick to catch my attention with many ways, I always ended up clicking on "Read More." The blogger definitely has a different sense of humour compared to mine.

Best part is that he took the effort to find a lot of funny images, gif or test to entertain us. He is always surprising me by playing a trick on some of the posts. I know that I fell for it quite a number of times (why am I so gullible wtf). These many funny entries are kind of hard to find and it is cool to have it all in one blog. Bring out the prankster in you by using his entries!

Gloson Blog

Check out this 13-year old Malaysian kid named Gloson as he can teach you a thing or two about utilising social media. I swallowed my ego just to read his whole blog learning about blogging. Hey, I am not a professional like this little dude. Currently he is staying at a hostel so don't expect updates on a daily basis. But when he does update, you get smarter. The age gap is huge and he look at things in his own perspectives.

Did I mention that at age 11, Gloson has his own funny poem book? Wait, he has TWO books published! Yea, thanks for making me feel useless wtf. Anyway... That's credibity! Reading his blog, all I know is that ONE, he is more mature than me wtf and TWO, I know more about how to write in a blog and what to do with my blog with the help of social media.

Project Ideas

Yes, yes, I know I am a your typical guy reading things I don't understand but I can't help it. This blogger is suggesting ideas. Not just any ideas but projects that you can work on to benefit others too. It covers from students projects to iPhone apps to mechanical projects. What I love about it is that he actually thought of the ideas and put a fresh look at it. Heck, I can never think like that.

If you are a mechanical, engineer, biology, chemistry and whatever student, you can find his blog very useful. Don't worry as there are tips and videos on how to perform it. The only sad thing here is that I need to Google the terms used (another blog that challenged my intelligence, great wtf). Let your teachers and lecturers jaw drop to the floor when you complete his projects.

Travel and Photography

Let me present to you Mr. Herbert Wong's blog. Personally, I love photography as a hobby. I can take decent pictures, that's all wtf. Anyway, this Singaporean guy, really loves to travel. He carries a camera with him and make use of it while travelling. The results? Magnificent pictures. He sees things that I can't imagine while taking photographs.

I rather not call them pictures or photographs because it feels more like "memories" to me. A very crisp and clear memory of places he's been to. The reason why I like his blog is because of the pictures. You get to see things you cannot see in Malaysia and the picture really takes my breath away. It actually feels that I am there looking at his scenery.

The Mobile Photography Blog

All the way from India, here's a blog that I can really appreciate. We've all known that with a decent camera or DSLR, you can capture great pictures. And that's true as you can find a million photography blogs. This blogger, Raghavendra Chakravarthy, decided otherwise. He take pictures with a camera phone. Surprisingly, there are quite a number of good pictures out of it.

One thing I like the most is that the pictures are not edited. There is also no help from any apps, be it Instagram or Vignette. Just purely Nokia 5130 Xpress Music. I never thought that someone can actually produce very good image from it but he manages to do so. The quality varies but you can see that he really loves it. I hope to find more blogs like this in the future.

Well, here are my 6 picks for Blog Day. Hopefully you will support them by visiting their blogs!

Extended review: Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini

2011-08-27T10:43:00.013+08:00

I am guessing you are starting to miss the extended review, no? Okay, so I was hoping that someone reads this blog (sad). Anyway, here's another one of my favourite phone: Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini. Wow, am I siding with Sony Ericsson now? Well, if they keep on producing better phones, I may say that I am a fan. But for now, let's see if Mini is the new Biggie.

You got Punk'd by the display

Here's a surprise. Given the fact that it is a HVGA display (320 x 480), I cannot believe that the colours and picture quality look superb here. Seriously guys (and girls)! It emits really clear and crisp picture (not radioactive, don't worry or I'll be dead too). This is mainly thanks to the Reality Display by Bravia Engine. Great job fooling us. We really appreciate it and no sarcasm there.

Cheese's the word

With a 5-megapixel camera, you wouldn't really expect much but that's where they catch you off-guard (again)! Personally, the camera is great and is one of the main reasons why I want this smartphone. The colours after taking pictures looks awfully happy. What I meant to say was, the colours are really bright. That's not a problem though.

Also, the physical camera button is a nice feature, too, with the people from Sony Ericsson sticking to a nice, soft button. The camera button is sensitive enough to fire off shots without causing you to jerk the phone and miss the magic moment. Pressing it is like popping bubble wraps. It's that fulfilling!

Everyday I'm shuffling

Well, only if I don't embarrass myself. The reason I am "shuffling" is because of the music quality from this tiny phone. It is really good! The bass is right and it is literally music to my ears. Play the alert tone a million and one times and I will still call it great music. And I am not talking through earphones. The speakers are surprisingly good.

You only get one speaker and it is located at the center of the back part of Xperia Mini. With that said, you can actually feel some stereo going around with the speakers. Of course, to maximise that pleasure, just plug in your earphones or Bluetooth device.

So so software

Of course with SE, you are bound to get your own suite of apps. My favourite app/widget from them is always the Track ID. Heard a tune you'd love but can't figure who sang it? Well, just whip out your Xperia Mini and tap Track ID. Record for a moment and discover! Also, by placing its widget on the homescreen, you are guaranteed a faster accessibility.

Again, they provide you with Timescape. This time, they tweak it a little by adding three options when you put the widget on your homescreen. That doesn't really help a lot, or at all, as it is still a graphically demanding widget. Even on a 1Ghz phone like this. The only reason why you want to use is to "beautify" your phone. Think of it as a hair extension/fake lashes/lipstick/you-should-get-it-at-this-point.

The rest

Finally, another part that is not in Mobile World Magazine, is the video player. The Xperia Mini's recording is fairly good but too bad I can't say the same for the video player.

It was mentioned that the player is able to support mp4 and wmv formats. That's fine as it does, quite well too. But too bad you can see the phone struggling with wmv formats. If you put a large files or those with long playback, you'll notice the player struggling. Don't get me started on the avi formats. Nothing! Nothing at all! It won't play them.

Truthfully (and not sneakily), I can see this happening. Sony Ericsson and Google did not really touch the video player department and stuck with Android's default player. You can play. You can pause. You can skip. That's all.

Well, nothing much more to reveal as you can find it all in Mobile World Magazine.

Price: RM699

Words from author: Notice in two of the pictures, the Xperia Mini wallpaper is orange? Hey, it fits the blog!!! Argh, I know, I know. The blog's colour is so fugly. Anyway, please support our magazine. Yours truly writes there. *big eyes*

I wish upon a star

2011-08-19T21:38:00.016+08:00

Aww, look at that picture, sooooooooooo cute.
And you hope this post was something like that, yes?

Sorry to disappoint but no, this is not a cutesy post wtf. I want to complain! Seriously. Look into my eyes and you'll know. Or just look at the nice bunny up there wtf. BTW, that rabbit does not eat carrots.

I wish... Really wish... Even if it has to be upon a star... That our freaking roads have no more potholes. Seriously. Driving over it is just a horrible feeling. Both physically and mentally.

Let me get straight to the point:

Every time I go down a pothole, my heart sank. Not only my car. My heart literally sank. It's like the feeling when a roller coaster went down really fast, suddenly. We really don't need to go to theme park any more when we can have it free over here. Imagine driving on Jalan Roller Coaster 26/12 wtf (personally I recommend Jalan Roller Coaster 76/33 wtf).

I categorise potholes into three groups:

Group 1 is the regular pothole. You drive over it and go "DAMN!" and then, "Meh, I passed it."

Group 2 is the Team Potholes where there are many potholes on the road. Driving over them will cause tonnes of shakiness that whatever food you ate were digested instantly. After driving pass Team Potholes, you feel like shitting wtf. OK, maybe we call it passing motions (geddit? geddit? say yes wtf)

Group 3 is the deceptive pothole. From a distance it looks like a regular pothole. It's just there hanging around. No harm done when you drive over it. WAIT (cliffhanger jeng! wtf) That's when you see.....

That's not all! I don't drive those big cars like Ford or Toyota so I kind of squeeze into My Young & Very Innocent (Myvi wtf) car. Ever heard of inertia? Yes, my great great great great grand uncle, Sir Isaac Newton discovered that. He was half Chinese wtf. When my car goes down the pothole, I'll hit my head before I go down with it wtf.

See, you short people have it good. I don't discriminate. We tall people do have their disadvantages wtf.

So, my wish is for our Transportation Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha to fix our roads. Don't worry, I won't let people know that we are related, that's why I added "h" into my Khong wtf.

Calv out.

Toilet pee peeves

2011-08-12T23:07:00.013+08:00

I am in a hygienic mood. I feel so clean wtf.

So let's talk about toilet. Yes, THE toilet! No, you won't get to know the colour and shape of my shit (shape like "C" wtf) but you'll know the top three things that irritates me in the toilet.

Don't ask why I put this wtf

Let uncle Calvin tell you so you know what to do when he is around. Don't worry as I won't ask for a 5-star service (red carpet would be nice though wtf).

Ok, firstly I really really cannot tahan if the door knob/lock/latch/round thingy is wet. Seriously. Can you imagine yourself touching this cold, wet, maybe pee stained door knob? Can you? Sure, I may be wrong but there are guys who don't wash their hand after peeing! I cringe at the thought of it.

Yellow because pee stained wtf

So what I normally do if I touch it. I scrub my hand so hard almost ripping it hoping to remove my pee stained skin. Then, I'll curse silently under every breath wtf. And I'll grab a tissue to turn the door knob and push it open. The tissue will self-destruct afterwards. Hey, don't blame me! I don't know your hygiene routine! It's not like I take my time studying you while I am in the toilet. The Pak Cik guard will arrest me. Then Wei Lian will be laughing at me as they drag me away.....

Another horrible (combination between horrible and terrible, wait, it looks the same wtf) thing I cannot stand (or even sit) is people standing next to me when I pee. If the restroom has only two urinals then that's fine. Even though I prefer them to wait for me to finish. I take only less than 30 seconds to finish la! Unzip, pee, shake and keep wtf. (*edited: zip back wtf)

If there are five urinals and you choose to stand beside me, I cannot "let go" until you go away. Really!! Even during mid-stream it can miraculously stop WTF! I harbour real hatred to those who chose the urinal beside mine when I pee midway. Even after I stop and continue peeing, it's like I never went! The "feel" is still there! Then I'll curse silently under my breath again wtf.

And the last but definitely not least issssssssssssssssssss....... the shape of the urinal wtf. No, hear me out here! Normally, urinals are suppose to protect my little brother from other's pleasure wtf. But nowadays, I really don't get this, but they decided to arch the bottom part of the urinal outwards that it is impossible for you to hide your pee pee!

Let me demonstrate old school:

See, that's decent. Enough space to spread your legs and I can easily hide too. Hide towards the left? No problem! Right? Nothing to it! Me like. Nothing but me and my piss wtf.

PHAIL urinal:

Cannot find it la. Go Sunway Pyramid see wtf.

Yes, it is so wide and it protrudes outwards!! I understand the protruding part as it works to catch our drips but not the wider ones. I cannot spread my legs that WIDE! Because of that, I need to stand further from the urinal. Think of it like peeing in the public wtf.

Well, that's all. To all guys, pee cleanly and remember, distance between us peeing is one urinal. If not, hold it in wtf. Cannot die la.

Calv out.

TV ad offensive?

2011-08-02T17:20:00.007+08:00

As the fasting and hungry ghost period happen on the Merdeka month, an 8TV ad surfaces:

How do you feel after watching this? Sure, you plan to take it with a grain of salt but to think that people are this oblivious is indeed stupid.

Here's the background of the story, on the 29th of July 2011, 8TV released 3 Ramadhan advertisements. And that's that right? Well, not so as the users on Facebook posted the video up claiming it to be racist. Slowly but steadily, it managed to generate quite a number of backlash. Everyone claimed the ad is very distasteful and "racist."

Well, racist is not the right word for it. Personally, this can be viewed as offensive. Not everyone goes "Wahhhhhh" or "Ohhhhhh" in the market. The one responsible for the ad really and I mean REALLY over-emphasize it.

The thing is, we know what to do during the Ramadhan month and of course we will watch our own action too. The ad should have shown creativity and not stupidity.. Thankfully, 8TV pulled out the ad out yesterday. And there is a proper apology given out to the public from CEO of Media Prima, Ahmad Izham Omar and 8TV too (Check it out here).

I love to quote this Youtuber comment:

Here's the lowdown of the ads in words:

The first PSA shows the girl shouting and being very loud at one stall owner while asking for a discount on another.

The second PSA shows the same girl eating greedily with Muslim customers watching her.

The third PSA shows the girl (again) wearing a sleeveless blouse, with her shoulders and arm-pits pixelated.

All the scenes are then followed by messages urging viewers to not be loud and obnoxious; not be greedy nor eat in public; and not wear revealing clothes.

The girl then acts “appropriately” after all the messages.

How's that for a PSA. Well, that's not the only case if you remember. All and all, let's just be thankful that this is over and try to keep an open eye for any more ads like that. Together we can stop offensive ads.

*Update: The video is now unavailable. Sorry =(
*Update 2: Thanks to the forces of good, I found a substitute. =)
*Update 3: Okay, apparently, no more. Try finding it at lepak.my people!

Names, literally

2011-07-25T21:18:00.006+08:00

Yes, that is what you get if you come up with names for yourself. Here's why, recently I have been seeing a lot of self-given names that is really dumb or DUMB. Wei Lian would agree with me too because she have heard her share of "wan taufu" names. Seriously, some times, i feel like these people purposely dropped the letters in Scrabble and pick anything that sound like a word.

Having names according to days, months and seasons is still bearable but there is a fine line between a name and being made fun off. This post may or may not offend you people out there. OK, so maybe it can offend people so readers are advise to be careful

Here's a warning sign:

Don't say I didn't warn you!

Apple:

Ever watch Annoying Orange? Ever wonder what happen to Apple?

Winky:

Aww, ye who love to wink get to be called Winky. Be thankful it is not Wanker.

Twinkle:

Look at you, so small and tiny you shiver like the rest of stars up in the sky. Only visible at night and in the crowded space with other Twinkles too. At night eh? Hooker? Nooooo.....

Sunny/Summer:

So bright and hot, you thought you were. Wait until you meet Cloudy and Rainy. That should dampen your spirit.

Gummy:

Alright.. I got nothing for this one... Seriously? Food? Might as well name yourself Burger. And Gummy is giving me weird stares..... Scary..

Candy/Sweetie:

Definitely attract a lot of ants there. Hang out with Sunny or Summer and look at yourself melt. Not that sweet any more.

Candle:

Wow, if I don't know you, I would have guess that you are into S&M. Err, no it's not Science and Machinery.

To tell the truth, I am not sure what is the motive of having weird first names. If that's what it takes to be cool or successful, I'll pass man. If it's to have the most unique name of all, then you'll get it: awkward stares.

Imagine this -

You: What a sunny day.

Sunny: You called me?

You: No, I didn't call you, sweetie.

Sweetie: I didn't know you know me!

Sunny: Who is this woman????

You: No, no, I really don't know her. I was just sweet talking you, gummy bear.

Gummy: Yes? Do I know you?

Sunny: Now you are hitting on another girl???? Good bye!

You: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it could happen.

P.S. - The author's normal and sensible name was given by his loving parents. So sweet of them. No, not you Sweetie.

#7 I admit, Matt Bomer is hot

2011-07-23T23:17:00.017+08:00

Yes, like the title said, I do find him hot. Watch the series called White Collar and understand why. Attracted to him, not sexually but he does has his charms. Before this, you'd remember him as Bryce in Chuck. After his deal with Chuck was over, he got to be the star in his own series. You'll come to know him later as Neal Caffrey.

Yes, the hat is a cliche but it works

So the question here: what makes this show interesting other than the man there? Simple, how do you catch a thief? No no, we are not going into Criminal Minds or call the CSI for help or even examine the Bones. This time, we make the bad guy work for us. Well, not as simple as it sounds but that's the gist of it.

He really does have piercing eyes

Neal Caffrey is an art thief, master of forgery and has a mean silver tongue. Well, now he is a FBI consultant who is tightly monitored with a detector at his leg. Tied down with a federal agent, this series got the formula right. What better way to catch a thief than using another thief?

His other half in solving cases

His partner is quite the opposite as Peter Burke is an authoritative person who like to plan things out. Of course further down into the series, you'll see how Caffrey's antics rub onto him. Married and like a father figure, he really is your nice man in the show.

You have to give Mozzie (Willie Garson) credit for playing his part well too, a comedic relief!

If you are looking for comedy, drama and style; this is the one for you. I can't stop watching this series and thanks to my "sources," I am saying hello to Season 3. The show this time focus on the art of crime and how to deal with it. No examining evidence and stuff like that.

The FBI/con man team is one of the best in the business because of the great chemistry between Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) and Peter Burke (Tim DeKay). As a con man, Burke has many reason to doubt his every move but that soon turn to trust. Having a FBI babysitter, Caffrey needs his own space and to pursue on other matters too. Not a relapse of his older life but very close. Just watch the series if you are curious!

Burke's detective skills are great and he is like a Caffrey GPS knowing how he thinks and how he acts. As for the con man, he got suave and he is definitely a charmer. He is no womaniser but a real romantic fellow as you'll learn his obsession with something (hint: a box). He loves getting things down his way at times with better results than following the law. Let's not call Caffrey's methods illegal.... It's in the "grey area."

What you want to look in the series for is an ongoing plot and relationship between co-workers here. Sorry, no lovers quarrel but you will be presented with hot girls too. Hey, sex sells. Watch this series and fall in love with it. I know I did.

Extended review HTC Wildfire S

2011-07-17T21:23:00.004+08:00

Already wrote a one page review on the magazine. Here's there rest where I can't put in.

HTC Wildfire S - How fast the hot stuff spread?

Messaging is a challenge

First stuff I have to let it out is the fact that typing on the display can be troublesome. I know that I have a stubby fingers, this phone highlighted that fact and leave me feeling depressed. Translation: Hard to type. The only good thing here is how HTC simplified editing and selecting words. Just use your thumbs and move around the words you want to cut/copy/paste and presto! If you are feeling adventurous (I pick that word because it is), try their voice input. Speak in short sentence and you are good to go. If you talk a lot then the voice input will struggle to separate the words.

Meh, camera

The camera was omitted in the magazine because there is really nothing to talk about it. It is a decent 5-megapixel camera with few options for customisation. The picture looks decent but nothing to yell with affection. And the flash works like any other flash: it's bright.

No shout out for video

Like the camera, the video is omitted too because err.. same reason. Comes in 640 x 480, which means no HD recording. You can zoom in but expect very pixelated pictures. Yes, VERY pixelated as the pixels looks like boxes! The good thing about it is that they have a good frame rate.

Average Joe media

It comes with typical HTC video player that forgo everyone's favourite format: avi. You can play/pause, skip clips, all the usual normal stuff. Music player is the same, play/puse, skip, browse through different categories, normal stuff again. And just for kicks, HTC throws in an FM player. It does what standard FM player does.

Here's a question, what does all three need? Speakers! The sound quality for this smartphone is good but I can't help but to think that it can improve on the bass division. They need more oomph.

Battering battery life

Well, I have problems with the battery life because it cannot last long. Sure, I understand that for a starter phone (in HTC standards) that it should be understandable but it is not enough. Using WiFi to browse through the Web half the day will suck up more than half of Wildfire S' life. Nothing much you can do with the phone with weak battery.

My thoughts?

Well, to get this phone at the RRP of RM1,099 is tad bit too much. It is a well featured phone but push it to the limits and you will find the phone crawling on the floor. Instead of being the horse that brings you around, you have to drag it real hard to show real results.

Throwing in Android 2.3 Gingerbread is a nice gesture. I really do appreciate it. The only problem is to find ways utilising the latest Android OS. So my tips for using this phone is simple: make it light, make it easy and that should keep your relationship with the phone sweet. For the price you pay for this phone, think a little harder.

Finally a personal post?

2011-07-15T16:08:00.006+08:00

OK, I know this is random but here goes:

I PROMISE TO BLOG MORE OFTEN!!!!!

Top 5 horror mangas worth your time

2011-07-06T21:15:00.012+08:00

WARNING: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

The best horror/ghost mangas I've read are from Japan. From weird to truly horrifying, all of them are actually nice reads. Best part is that they actually made me feel that someone is looking over my shoulder.... Great, there goes my good night sleep and pajamas...

Countdown from 5, 4, 3... You get the point.

Number 5: High School of the Dead

This one is more of a zombie manga but it is nicely plotted. Currently still ongoing and I almost turn into a zombie waiting for the next release. Just so you know that this has some funny moments with 18SX stuffs too. Stop your drooling because it doesn't last long (duh). And sometimes, the evil ones are just humans.

It features a bunch of high school kids (duh again) trapped in the city trying to survive a zombie outbreak. Throughout the manga, you'll be introduced to several characters and most of your favourite ones does go through chapter by chapter. This is where "hope" is always there and it never seem to fade out... Yet. Well, that's what I am betting for.

Number 4: Cradle of Monster

This looked more like a rival manga for High School of the Dead. It is also ongoing with very little chapters. What I really hope is that, this manga is not discontinued. Again, it has the same theme but lack of the comedy, which is great! Hurray for REAL horror with little comedic relief! Now you can cover in fear around the corner. Just know that you are not alone....

Alright, back to the plot. It starts mysteriously where you are shown a girl trap undearwater alone in a wrecked ship. Then the story progress as usual with her meeting up with more survivors. The zombies or more like evil super humans, are smarter than WALK-HUMAN-BITE-CHEW-EAT-WALK routine. They have brains and can even use weapons. Example? How about a guy who can fence? My only problem here is that there are too little "scare" factor. At least chances of survival is low here.

Number 3: Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro

Ahh, for those who love Detective Conan, this is the one for you but of course with lots of horror in it. Crime solving has never been gruesome than this one. I find myself tingle with excitement and fear looking at each panel. Don't worry, I stop with the zombie thing. For now... Muahahahhaa... err.. I mean yea..

Anyway, this is a story of a girl who, unluckily, met a demon that loves to eat mysteries. You heard right. This demon will manipulate the girl, turning her into a super detective, and devour solved mysteries just to satisfy his hunger. Best part is the punishment he gives to the killer (victim?) before he taste them. The plot is interesting and very different. And it is COMPLETE! No more waiting and yearning for it. Read all you want folks.

Number 2: Drifting Classroom

Aww.. What can go wrong with primary school kids? They are so cute, innocent and troublemakers. How about leaving them unattended in a desolated place? Nowhere to run and hide from unknown creatures and places? With so little knowledge bestowed upon them, how can they survive? Sometimes the untrained mind can be dangerous and horrific. Hint: Imagination.

I am trying not to spoil the story line here. Really trying but there is nothing much I can say that a lot of kids stuck at an unknown place. On their own. No adults to help them. Alone. Expect no laughs here but only horror. If you are not the type to see children die, give this comic a miss. I really mean it. The series is completed but it might take a little effort to find the manga. Hey, it's from 1972, of course you have to find it yourself. No scanlations people.

*Updated: OK, maybe it is not THAT hard to find any more. Google it.

Number 1: Uzumaki

This is the creepiest manga I have ever read in my life. And the fact is, it is all about shape. Sure, you learn them when you are young but exposed to this manga, you'll have a very bitter childhood. The only keyword here is spiral. Every single thing starts from there and ends with that. Humans, nature and sky. Again, it is complete but will take a lot of effort to find it.

You'll be introduced to mostly a village instead of characters and slowly watch events unfold. Continue reading this twisted manga if you dare but don't expect a happy ending. Or even anything sweet. It is bitter all the way and it will literally "fish" your mind. No vulgarities here but you know what is the other word for "fish.... After reading, don't feel shock if you think you are seeing things. I am not kidding...

Calv out.

#6 Xperia Play extended review

2011-06-28T23:25:00.008+08:00

Yes, for those who follow me (I hope), there are so many things about the Xperia Play that I want to write about but don't have that many pages on the magazine for it. Also, they will "frown" upon what I am going to write if I did do it in the magazine. So I'll do it here instead. Shh.. Tell nobody about it. Use words like "Word on the street (net) is that.." or "Hey, I heard from this Super-Genius-Awesome-Guy said.." Yea, something like that.

Here's a quick extended review about the smartphone.

Proud owner of Xperia Play... only for two to three weeks......

Firstly, this piece of machine is really muscular. Its biceps are tremendous, almost scary at times. Pump with testosterone (can't believe I spelled that word right the first time), I can give a 0.24562% of female population will get this device. How do I come up with that figure? Well, let's just say I didn't use calculator. If you disagree, show your woman the phone SIDEWAYS and see how will she react. The form factor is already unappealing. For guys? Well, I like it. That's one out of 7 billion people's opinion.

Again I stress, which you will read in Mobile World Magazine, that I dislike the material choice by Sony Ericsson. It is a smudge magnet and you will definitely see scratches in the future. Taking out the back cover is almost like peeling an apple's skin. Do it wrong and the glossy plastic might BREAK off easily. Sure, tell us that it is Piano Black. Even if you name it Black Mamba, the material used wouldn't get any better.

As you can see, tonnes of smudges.

The camera here is almost a waste giving us 5 megapixel. Sure, it's the same as iPhone's megapixel but did you know that iPhone was released a year ago? By this year, 8 megapixel is the standard. Even the iPhone 5 is rumoured to have 8-megapixel camera if it is out THIS year. One thing that I can praise about the camera is that it offers customisation. No zoom but yes to customisation. Autofocus, white balance, scene mode and several others are at your control. And Sony is known to produce good camera quality so that's good as well. Too bad it's a different story for the front-facing camera. VGA and grainy.

The video..... It's really a major disappointment. Here's the reason why: you have a phone that can support HD viewing but you cannot record in HD. What's worse is that, the Xperia Play has no HDMI output. I saw how great it is to have Xperia Arc with HDMI output and for a gaming phone not to have it? Tsk tsk tsk Sony. Shame on you. No gaming on the big screen.

No, I am not an Angry Birds fan. But I do love Jumping Now.

Here's one of the User Interface that I have to cut out (sad): the Web browser. I know that it is nothing important but you do have to know that the Xperia Play's browser is like any other Android phones. It supports Adobe Flash (woohoo!) but not as buttery smooth as you think. It buffers sometimes but if you are patient, you will be rewarded. Sorry, no instant win here.

Another surprise here is the speakers. Unlike the PSP Go, this phone has better quality speakers. It's really loud but it won't pierce your ears like how that dude stuck a pin in your earlobe. I really REALLY love this part of the phone. Playing Asphalt 6 with maximum volume is awesome. If only I can own the cars there....

Here's the part you've all been waiting for. The thickest part of the cake. The sweetest part in a drink. The best part in a steak. The.. The.. Okay, I'll shut up and "get on" with it. Gaming experience!

First off, is the game pad. Well, just look below. Seriously, just look at it and you will understand:

Almost the same with PSP minus true analogue stick... Oh, and plus Android menu button (bottom left)

I wouldn't call the L & R, "buttons" but oh well.

Get it? There you go. My only complain (two actually, oopsie) here is that they should have stuck with a true analogue stick and the L & R shoulder buttons are flimsy. Pressing the L & R buttons are like fixing a loose compartment. Satisfaction not guaranteed at all. But you have to give Sony Ericsson credits for porting over PSP buttons. Where else can you find a device with 20 buttons with no alphabets on it? Yeah, I counted ALL the buttons on the device.

Other than that, everything else feels alright. HOWEVER, there seem to be a problem when I played Asphalt 6 with this gaming smartphone. It cannot keep up with the frame rate of this game. That translate to lagging at times. Boo. Thank goodness not all the time. SIM 3 in Xperia Play is cool but it made the button purposeless as you are better off using the touchscreen.

Here's another problem: there are currently too little games for this phone. Especially PS One games. You can only play Crash Bandicoot. So far they are not offering anything else in the Malaysia's market.

And presenting to you, something Sony Ericsson will frown upon: using emulators. You can find it over the Internet but not in the Android Market. If you play games via this route, you struck gold. So many PS originals out there for you. It doesn't stops there because you can even play games from Mega Drive, SNES, Gameboy and N64! Once you set the controls to your liking (game pad all the way!), you will have loads of fun! Shh.. Don't go telling people about it. This will be our secret!

Well, that's it folks. The rest of "the good, the bad and the ugly" for this phone. For my original review on this device, just get the Mobile World Magazine. Or ask me to BORROW you my copy. Hey, I need the magazine for boasting rights, I mean future portfolio.

So will you get one or skip it?

#5 Hackers go haywire!

2011-06-16T10:26:00.017+08:00

As every Malaysian and some part of the world know, Anonymous release a statement (more like a jpg) saying that they are ready to hack http://www.malaysia.gov.my.

The video was posted up on YouTube as well with a digitally enhanced voice. Sound more like Stephan Hawkins if you ask me. BUT here is their message:

Greetings, Malaysia,

We have seen the censorship taken by the Malaysian government, blocking sites like The Pirate Bay, and WikiLeaks. Malaysia is one of the world's strictest governments, even blocking out movies, and television shows. These acts of censorship are inexcusable. You are taking away a basic human right. The internet is here for freedom, without fear of government interference. Do not think that no one else notices. Your structured government has done the talking, and we hear loud and clear. Let this be an announcement to all your people. This is a sign, a warning, and an opportunity to listen to ideas above your own. In a way you are being stubborn. But how will this help anyone or your country. We fear that if you make further decisions to take away human freedom. We are obligated to act fast and have no mercy. For rules were meant to be broken. And corruption was meant to be washed away and forgiven. Now we will wash your corruption away so be prepared. Take this as a favor.

We are Anonymous.

We are Legion.

We do not forgive.

We do not forget.

Expect Us.

Source

Well, that's all cool as they do receive a lot of hype and support from our fellow Malaysians. And with that note, I guess even our own Malaysia group of hackers decide to take action. They called themselves Dragon Force Malaysia. Yes, they are our very own metal band. Their musical instrument? Most probably their computer (and maybe Linux?).

For those who want to look everything from their perspective, here.

So did Anonymous manage to hack our Malaysia's portal? I think so because there are a few evidence. And don't forget to visit those few sites to check it out yourself.

You can check out the list of websites down or up here, here and here.

Enjoy the jpg show and click the image to enlarge it. :)

First off is this. I am not sure if the picture above is the real one but since it's written as Anonymous, let's leave it as that. Reasons why I said it is because of the message that they left. You can read it on your own and decide.

Ah, this one is subtle but true to the core. Personal opinion but it was cool to me. Hey, imagine those guys that work in CIDB thought that they are alright but on second look, their eyes almost fall out. Awesome.

All of these are the sites hacked by Dragon Force Malaysia. In no particular order. If you want order and not chaos (sorry I have to say it because it was so tempting) just got to their website. Oh yeah, they do have their own site (blog). They are that brave.

One thing you will notice if you are lucky enough to go the hacked sites are the colourful and animated header they put. All I can say is that they do have taste.

And of course their trademark logo: the dragon.

Last but not least, the H3x4 crew who did not want to miss the action. Their target is UiTM Penang site. Who says Kuala Lumpur will get all the promotion?

Well, all that aside, they are definitely an interesting group. Check them out.

P.S. Who says thepiratebay is blocked? Why don't you try typing in malaysiabay.org and see what comes out. You can thank me later. No joke but it's the real thing. Mirror the site and that's what you get.

P.P.S. The writer is NOT or IN ANY WAY AFFILIATED to Anonymous. Just interest in them and hence just reporting about their activity.

#4 Easter eggs around the Internet

2011-06-10T23:37:00.008+08:00

What? No, not the cute little bunnies that can magically walk on two feet one day passing you colourful eggs. Why do they even give eggs when they give birth? Guess they can't give you baby rabbits because it will be like abandoning their children, I guess.

Hey, it's Bugs Bunny?

Well, simply put, Easter Egg is a hidden feature of a software program or website that is only seen if you know where to look. Call it treasure hunt, call it secret chambers but I call it evil programmers. Some are just so hard to look for that it takes 10 freaking years to find it!

Here's a few basic ones that I accidentally found out and I will kindly provide you a stey by step guide for free (generous is my middle name, maybe not) -

Yahooooooooooooooo~

If only there is a subtitle for the yodel....

Head over to Yahoo! main page
Put your mouse over the exclamation mark on the Yahoo! log
Then click it
Enjoy the yodel or you can even sing-a-long!

Play Snake on YouTube

Yes, playing Snake on YouTube is dangerous. Look at the warning sign

When you load a video in YouTube, you will see the loading icon (the thingy that spins forever if you have slow Internet connection)
Click the video before you get over-excited
You can move the snake by pressing Up on the directional button
Once you've done that, let the games begin!

If you are a cheapskate or just love steal your neighbour's WiFi, Google provided you with a solution! Free WiFi thanks to Google.com!

Free WiFi, we love you. Just need to leave this page and Free WiFi for all!

All you need to do is type TiSP
Click "I'm Feeling Lucky"
Cross your fingers
Read the instructions and voila! *

Can't think of a catchy subject to spam your friends emails? Yahoo! is there to help you!

Hey "Eating Pasta with Chicken" appears! Now everyone can eat.

Only works in the new version for Yahoo! Mail
Click "Subject" when you are in the Compose Mail

If Minesweeper is too hard for you, there is always a cheat code for it. You hear me right my fellow Minesweeper players. All those years you took to practice guessing the mine is for NOTHING! Yay!

Look dad, I turn pro in Minesweeper yo! (*edited: apparently blogger decided to act up AGAIN so you can't click to enlarge but just try it and squint your eyes to look at that ONE pixel going black and white)

Open Minesweeper on your PC
Type "xyzzy"
Then press Shift + Enter
Look at the top left of your screen and there will ONE pixel there telling you that there is a bomb. White means safe, black means KABOOM
Go ahead, be a pro now you cheater!
(Note: The pixel turns white when your mouse is on the "Safe" box and turns black on the "Mine" box)

For those who *ahem* uses uTorrent and tired of waiting for the 99.7% to finish, play their Tetris. Here's how:

Hey, three more blocks and I'll make a straight line!

Go to Help at your uTorrent
Click "About uTorrent"
Press the "T" on your keyboard
Enjoy!

Well, that's all I can think about for now. Technically, the real usage of Easter Eggs are not for fun but for copyright purposes. For those unsuspecting people who loves to copy and paste other programmers stuffs, they have a revenge tool!

I am sure that I miss out tonnes more Easter Eggs on the Internet (yes, I am really honest to God so ever free to search all of this), so submit yours if you find anything interesting. Enjoy a final one that I accidently discover just now (woohoo but I am too lazy to take a screen shot of it).

Turn on your speakers
Go to uTorrent
Go to Help
Select "About uTorrent"
click uTorrent's logo
Listen to a MIDI music

BTW, there is even an Easter Egg on this blog!**

* Reason why I leave a lot of space here is for fun and to remind you. Remember the "*" at the Free WiFi from Google? TiSP means Toilet Internet Service Provider. Still don't get? It's not my fault that you are born this way. It's a practical joke by Google you dumb dumb.

**No there is no Easter Egg on this blog. I thought it will just make my article sounds cooler....

#3 Twitter's "@ conversation"

2011-05-31T22:20:00.004+08:00

Look at me, Imma tweet freak!

I finished rewriting my Mobile Etiquette article for Mobile World Magazine and it got me thinking. How much do you "like" it when someone intrudes your personal conversation online? You know that it your conversation is public when you "chat" in Twitter and when someone else tag along, wouldn't it be weird? Imagine me speaking English with my friend and you a stranger starts talking to me in Vietnamese (no offence to those who speaks it. Vietnam rules!).

See, told you Vietnam rules!

Recently (OK, not so recently), there is this thing called "@ conversation" in Twitter. You know,

IAmSoPretty tweeted:
Oh-my-own-reflection-from-the-mirror-who-looks-so-much-like-me-but-I-am-much-prettier, I feel like my prettiness level increase again.

IAmSoCool replied
@IAmSoPretty you are so pretty!

IAmSoPretty replied
@IAmSoCool you are so cool

IAmSoCool replied
@IAmSoPretty I know!

IAmSoPretty replied
@IAmSoCool I know too!

IAmSoBeautiful replied
@IamSoPretty @IAmSoCool We are all good looking!
.........................................
.........................................
....many replies later.....
.........................................

Err, something like that. If I accidently burnt the circuits in your head, here's a simple explanation in layman's term: you post an update in your Twitter and people will reply you by tagging your name. It no longer becomes a reply when both of you or more starts to tag you and each other in the conversation, hence, the "@ conversation" is born! Thank God and the creator of Twitter for it! Rejoice!

Back to topic. I understand the chatting in the comment section on Facebook tends to irritate others with the popping notifications. But in Twitter, that doesn't exist. So how much are you bothered when you are "intruded" by a stranger?

Think about it for a moment. Anyone can easily follow you on Twitter (if you do not privatise your account) and after that, the Unknown (substitute for stranger because it sounds cooler) can start viewing your tweets while you are at it. Imagine if you are having this oh-i-am-so-sad moment and your friends are cheering you up. The Unknown cheers you up too. How would you feel?

Err.. Okay, not this kind of Unknown

From my point of view, it will make me feel awkward becauce I don't know this person. If I choose to reply him or her, it's like we are friends but we are not and if this continues to a conversation people will think that we are really good friends. The thing is, I don't want that to happen.

On the other hand, if I choose to ignore the Unknown, it might send the wrong message that I am stuck up because I refuse to answer! And that could translate to other people thinking what a jerk I've become.

So where do you stand in this matter? Conversation in the virtual world seems to blur the line for friendship. It's like talking to this dude after you eavesdrop his conversation!

Yea, the old school eavesdropping.

My solution is simple if I want to avoid that. Click block and repeat. It's definitely faster than brushing your teeth!

I created this! If I find it elsewhere, Imma sue your ass off.

Calv out.

5 Mistakes You Made on PSP that Should Never be Repeated on NGP

With the Next Generation Portable (NGP); or better known as PSP 2; arriving, gamers in particular are saving up or begging their parents to but for them. Sad isn't it that you need to spend USD250 or USD350 (3G) just to get such a great device. Your old PSP is obsolete once this is out, right? Useless, thrown to the bin and forgoten. Sucks for you.

Well, for some people, it is entirely their own fault! Come on gamers, you are fooled into getting useless junk for your handheld gaming device! Just look at all the stuff you stick at your PSP. Poor device never stood a chance to see the light ever again. Here are 5 thing your can learn from your mistake that you do to your PSP. You can thank me later.

1. Speakers

The so-called affordable speakers for your PSP is usually priced at USD20. Well that is worth your money right? Hello? Technically, when you get your OWN PSP, what you are doing here is for your personal entertainment. Why would you even bother getting a speaker that makes your PSP looks twice its size or more?

Hey, if bothering other people is your thing, then go ahead. Can you imagine playing some game with your brand new speakers in a train? You'll get angry stares and unwanted attention. When I play my game, I would like to play in peace and not having eyes looking at me from across the train. And let's not forget the fact that your "admirers" will soon take REAL interest in your device. What I meant was, robbery yo. Definitely not the coolest kid in town any more.

2. Skins

Don't act like you are not aware of such accessories. It does exist and always will. Skins are every where and normally people who want to be "different" (oh wow, a condom for your device) will paste this. Yes, again this looks cheap, averaging at USD9 per piece. But once you get hooked to this, imagaine changing the skins over and over and over again. You do know that this is your PSP and not your play doll?

Oh, did I mention that you might get stuck with your current PSP if you want to sell it? I know that I don't want to buy a secondhand PSP with leopard spots on it. Do you? If that's not enough, Malaysian market is selling it between RM30 to RM80. So cheap.

3. Earphones

Noooooo. I am not crazy. I am just talking about the expensive one. The earphone in the picture above will set you back around USD500. Do you really need that expensive earphone? Just go with a good regular earphone gamers. How can you get something that is more expensive than then PSP itself? If you roll on money everyday, by all means, go for it. For those regular gamers out there, just opt for the USD10 ones because that is sufficient enough to provide you with quality sound.

Sometimes you just need to use your head people. If you can plan for your games, why not this? Personally, I use a normal earphone and the volume and quality is enough to shut me off from the real world, having people screaming for my name. Here's one for ONLY Rm99. It is so worth it right? Haha.

4. HDMI Converter

Ah, yes. With the advancement of technology, you would love to see everything crisp in Full HD. Yes, yes, your normal cable don't have such capabilities. Go ahead and buy the HDMI converter. Seriously? Do you really want to do that ? First off, do you know how much it cost to get one of those? It's like around RM200! Do you want to burn a hole in your pocket? Let me help you with that with a lighter, way easier.

Oh, did I mention that it defies the main purpose of having a PSP? You bought a HANDHELD gaming device so that you can carry AROUND, right? So that's all to it. If you want to hook it up to a big screen TV treating your PSP like a controller, just go get a PS3. It has better games that can make use of your wonderful Full HD TV. I mean it!

5. Etc

Well, technically I can write a whole list of things but that would just get on more of my nerves. A PSP is your gaming device. Not a Barbie doll (no offense). You can't just simply get add-ons without consequences. Really.

Waterproof casing? Do you want to swim with your PSP? Sure, hide it in your swimming suit and no one will question the bulge between your legs. What next? Antenna for your PSP so that it looks retro? Come on gamers. After accumulating all the extra expenditure for your PSP that is "worth it" for you, it could be that what you spend is enough to buy you a new NGP.

Living inside the box is a column where the writer writes and discuss his findings while surround himself with screens. Television, mobile phones, computers, handheld consoles, game consoles and anything with a screen comes in mind. You face all these in a daily basis and it may sound like you are trapped in a box (of screens). People wants you to break away from such thing by saying "Think outside the box."

I spend hours in the "box" and turn out OK. I say lets embrace it and hence "living inside the box."

Living inside the box #1

2011-04-26T15:08:00.002+08:00

Here's a personal column that I want to start.
Topic for the day: S.W.A.G. phenomenon in Youtube

Sitting down immersing myself in YouTube contributing to the amounts of hours the world spend watching YouTube made me realize that there are so many untapped talent out there. YouTube stars rising such as singers, production, short films, comedy and so many more. Other than trolling, bashing, flaming and several others, the videos in YouTube are great. However, one particular group stands out. This is not a racist comments but through hours of time loading Youtube videos. C'mon, Secondhand Serenade is the results of posting videos online. Definitely, there is an opportunity for all!

S.W.A.G. (Something We Asians Got). This term caught my attention and I begin exploring this term in YouTube. No disappointment here as I found so many talents in there. Let's just give it a rest about the battle between indie vs mainstream thing. Is it pleasant to your ears? Is that really music to you? Yes? Then that's all it is to it. Good music is when you actually enjoy what you are listening to.

First off is the already super famous Cathy Nguyen.

Definitely a great music right? Personally, I think that this is better than the original song. And she is collaborating with another great Youtube star (Andrew Garcia, American Idol, anyone?). This shows you the power of ordinary people out there. For those who are interested in who this Youtube "chick" is, just click here to find out more. She made a lot of covers of other people's music and even written her own. All I know is that this is real talent. Sign her a contract already!

She already have her own fanbase and it is steadily increasing. Of course with that, there are a lot more and another great singer is a guy called AJ. His original is literally the "showstopper." Check it out:

Again let me shout "C'MON" because with voice and good song writing skills, this guy is also up for the big guns. And he does have his own studio record of this version but I prefer this version more. Last but not least from the music section is this girl. It is a shame to say that I don't know her but she got great voice and she sings a Chinese song! Worth listening too:

Of course there are others that I didn't mention such as Jason Chen and Alexa Yoshimoto who earn so many viewership in the matter of weeks.

Well, that is just music posted up by them. What about those great productions. No, not the one you see in the movies or television. Again, the one in YouTube. Some of the better ones are definitely this gold mine field. All it takes is to search for it. This production team needs no introduction (thanks to my girlfriend who introduced this to me) as they are famous outside the Internet too. Wong Fu Production.

They do videos from comedy to romance to "tips for guys" to short film. You get the idea. Here is one of it. Definitely funny to watch as it pokes fun at people who use the peace sign:

Subtle humour? Yet resulted in a funny production. Also, don't forget to take a look at Wong Fu's The One Days: HK series. Not a bad one. In Malaysia, indie production is going up too and that sparks new talent in the industry. With YouTube, they can share their talents too. Let's not forget our own nation. This can definitely be used for cinema before any movie starts:

Of course, with all these things going on, there those who have a hard time making it big even in YouTube and being bashed for it. Just goes to show that you still need some skills to do things rather than taking up a camera and start recording.

There are of course other talents out there too other than the Asian community. But for now, let us celebrate what we have been looking at. You got to admit that these people has great skills and talents going on for them.

If people say you got some S.W.A.G. going on, hold your head high and be proud. In these over saturated market that is full of hopefuls, sometimes, you need a little S.W.A.G.

Living inside the box is a column where the writer writes and discuss his findings while surround himself with screens. Television, mobile phones, computers, handheld consoles, game consoles and anything with a screen comes in mind. You face all these in a daily basis and it may sound like you are trapped in a box (of screens). People wants you to break away from such thing by saying "Think outside the box."

I spend hours in the "box" and turn out OK. I say lets embrace it and hence "living inside the box."

Superhero Awards!

2011-01-17T22:02:00.001+08:00

This is uncalled for but it's time for an award blogpost!!!

Today, I will present to you, the good, the bad, the ugly, the horrible, the best and everything in between awards for Superheroes! I don't care if it is from Marvel or DC. Yes, I'll be talking only about American superheroes.

On to the Superhero Awards:

Best Superhero Costume Award: Spiderman (Marvel)

Come on! You can't deny this one! It is simple elegant and logical. This is where you can actually cover yourself up without worrying that your identity being reveal. Colors are striking and the eyes are one of the best features in the costume. Also the Spiderman logo!

Worst Superhero Costume Award: Dr. Strange (Marvel)

Ok, ugly and out of the ordinary, check. Yes, he got the magic. He might even be the strongest magician of all time but look at the costume.... No.. THAT is the world BEST magician?? Great, why don't he poof some bunny out of his cape.

Strongest Superhero Award: Thor (Marvel)

C'mon, he is a God for god sakes wtf. You would think Superman wins this award? Superman is pale in comparision with this God. Remember, other than Kryptonite, he is also vulnerable to magic. So that's where Thor's hammer pawn Superman big time. Bye bye Man of Steel.

Weakest Superhero Award: Jubilee (Marvel)

Seriously, her mutant power is to generate fireworks. Yay, we'll call her during New Years time. Now that's your spark wtf. Why this does not go to Batman? Well, even though he has no superpower, his utility belt and combat skills can definitely take a lot of the super-powered people. Jubilee, I'm sorry but you definitely deserve this award.

Smartest Superhero Award: Batman (DC)

Surprise, surprise it's Batman. He doesn't have any superpower yet he can beat the crap out of other superheroes. All he has is his brain. Of course with martial arts training, chemistry, forensics and criminology plays a big part in making him that awesome. Batman can outsmart enemies and he design most of his weapons. Now this is a hero I wouldn't simply attack.

Best Sidekick Award: Skeets (DC)

Of course he is the best. The floating buzzing robot is like the professor you never had. Its from the future with a wide library of facts so that Booster Gold doesn't mess up anything. This is one of the most reliable sidekick ever. Without Skeets, so long Booster Gold. So remember, there is no "hero" in superhero if there is no Skeets.

So far, that is it! Congratulations to the winners. Any more categories that you think is suitable?
Next time, there will be a Super Villian Awards!

Truth about Photoshop

2011-01-12T23:10:00.005+08:00

Let me go straight to the point! Photoshop does not apply in the real world!!! So what's my outrage over it? Let's just say, I like to take real pictures. Fine, I can accept brightening and contrast control but that's it. You do not deserve any praise if it is edited. Come on! Look at it this way, if you win an award for altered pictures, it is not Photo of the Year but Photo -edit of the Year wtf.

What up, bradder? This qualify photoshop of the year wtf.

Imagine putting up your best self-portrait work in Facebook with "a little" help from Photoshop. A little brush here, a little blur there, retouch this and that and tadaah, there is your new profile picture. Great!! Imagine when you want to go out with people and that's how the perceive you through Facebook, they will go WTF when they have a look at the real you!

Let me break it down this way:
Imagine the situation in a dating site: Guy sees Girl she likes, Guy chat with Girl, Guy wants to meet Girl, Girl agrees and they meet......

HOLY OMGWTFSHITORCRAPITDOESNTMATTER!!!!

I am guessing reactions will be like:

Hey, even a guy will Photoshop! There's only one good thing from using it: when you are BUSTED!!!!!

Look at my manly muscle! I'm freaking Hercules!

Hey, it wouldn't hurt to boost the size of my boobs! Move away Pamela!

Wait, maybe the only benefit that comes out of this is the humour. If one uses photoshop for mere humour, count me in!

Here's a website for Photoshop Disasters!

The Thinking Man

2011-01-09T22:50:00.006+08:00

You sit down. Minding your own business. Strange, it gets your creative juice flowing. Just as sudden as it is, there you go! With just this few moments with yourself, light bulb! That's the greatest idea ever made. So far.

Where-0-where can I find this place you ask? Simple. Here it is:

OMGWTFLOLROLMAO HOLY CRAP OR SHIT IT DOESN'T MATTER!

Yup, that's your very own personal factory made poop/pee catcher and cleaner! Two in one! Who would had thought about it??

This guy, Sir John Harrington wtf

See, he even has a "Sir" in front of his name. Oh, the contribution he made. The creation that can take loads of shit but not complain about it!

Ok, ok, back to the "real" topic here. Such revolting place to think. How could I even say that? Well, think about it. There is something about the toilet seat fits your buttocks in it. Hey, it's free size! And there is something calming about the water flowing through the pipe. The effect is the same as the river flowing smoothly with no business and innocent kids there frolicking in the clear water wtf.

Proof of this? Well, I'm writing about this right now. Where do I get such idea from? In the toilet. Be it your assignment or some important decision that can change the world, some of us do that in the toilet. We don't seek of inspiration. All we want to do is to get rid of the irritation! Honest!

Whether we are forcing it out or leisurely taking our own sweet time, ding ding ding DING! There ya go! An idea. A decision!

Yahoooooooooooooooooooo wtf

"I didn't have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon; it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing!" Henry Miller. That my fellow friends is one of America's finest novelist and painter.

I'll even provide a link to prove that some of the greatest idea comes while in the loo. Even my best friend Eminem gets his idea while he is answering the sweet call of nature! I rest my case wtf.

Err.. dude, not there again wtf

Where do you think they get the idea to do "The Thinking Man"? Look at his pose, imagine him sitting down on the toilet seat. Why would he not wear anything? Now that's proof from history! Toilet, your friend for inspiration. Don't expect it, just do your business and get out wtf.

You are THE man

Confession of a TV addict: Bones

2011-01-04T23:00:00.009+08:00

Yes, as i stick my eyes everyday to the holy box, i know a lot of shows going on at the same time. i practise the art of switching in between commercials to keep up with two or even three shows at the same time. Heck, i will wait for the reruns if i miss my show. Download, phhtttt!! i go original wtf. You heard it, other than the love of my life: Wei Lian, i do have a mistress: TV + Astro wtf.

Season 5 on Fox Astro Channel 710 wtf

JUST GREAT, it's another detective series this blogger is recommending! Don't we have CSI, NCIS, Castle, Lie to Me, Criminal Minds and etc to watch? What makes Bones special?

From left: Jack Hodgins, Angela Montenegro, Seeley Booth, Temperance Brennan, Lance Sweets and Camille Saroyan.

Here's the part that intrigues me the most, the relationship. The romance between them. Although indirectly, after one or two season, you can see how the directors tease the viewers with this relationship. Every freaking season you wonder will the hook up. That's when they hit you with a bummer. NO THEY WILL NOT HOOK UP. Yet........ i suppose.....

So who are THEY? Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan and Special Agent Seeley Booth.

The no nonsense Dr. Temperance Brennan

The instict man Special Agent Seeley Booth

So everything is easier to detect whenever they are at their structural state according to Brennen. The cases are like other investigative series, different and amusing. The thing is that tt is about their relationship. No! It's not in the Grey's Anatomy way or the overly romantic way. It's all subtle hints. They did it as subtle as possible but as clear as daylight. It is so amazing that everyone in the show would bet whether they will hook up or not.

One great thing is that they play oppose the stereotypes in this series. In our "perfect" real world, men are logical and women are emotional. This time, the doctor is the logical one (super logical) and the detective is emotional (why, why, why). It's amazing actually.

The other casts are amazing too but to me, i really think that it is all about how well does this two "couple" relationship blooms. The season so far usually ends with stories about Brennan or Booth except for Season 3 where it focus on their colleagues.

Again i am telling you that it is all about relationship!! At the end of most of the case, you get to see how those two bond. It is amazing that they would not get together after five freaking seasons. So America has shown Season 6 and they might be together but i'll be patient wtf.

Here's the proof wtf:

It's not what it is because this scene is just a deal needed for Brennan's dad and bro wtf

Despite people arguing that two main characters should not hook up now but at the end of the whole show, i disagree! Screw those people. If that happens, it will be too safe, too predictable and too fairy tale with the happily ever after going on. Hey, if they hook up, imagine their arguments, their make ups, their interactions, their works and so many more. How will all this evolve?

i love to watch Bones and i really can't wait to see what happen. Screw all you people who download the show wtf. i can wait wtf.

Birthday File: Code RED wtf

2011-01-01T23:51:00.011+08:00

The automatic doors open wide. All the glitzs and all the blings shine away. With the way i dress, i think that i was unprepared for this ordeal. Shop keepers looked at me like i am there just to look but what they don't know is that i want to purchase. They speak as though i do not belong there. Heck, i don't even know anything in there. That's when i realized that i walked into the Twilight Zo... i mean the Women's Section.

Yes, it was the time of the month. Not THE "month" but the month. Wei Lian's birthday.

This time, my target: something usable for her. Convenient, practical and stylish. Three criteria to fulfill so off to set my target. Prior to weeks of sneaking out without her knowledge, i settled for Mid Valley Megamall and Gardens. Two malls in one place, SCORE! i still can't believe that i missed Sunway Piramid in my survey fml.

WAIT, did it have to be stylish?? That's going to be a problem. As many of my friends know or behind my back knowing, i have very bad taste and to apply this for my woman? Great. Brief sentence from the past here:
VS
Yes, i could have chosen the top over the bottom wtf

"For generations, this descendant with four eyes have trouble with pairing the right things wtf" was found written in the Book Of Lameness Old Testimonial. Ok, so i made up the "wtf" part at the end of the sentence, the rest is true! Hey, pigs could fly!

Hey, it could fly!

Back to my adventure (yes, if you haven't noticed, it is MY adventure in MY own blog). The amazing this that for the first time in my life, i went to Robinsons in Garden. First thing that struck me is not to hit the freaking glass materials. Why would they stack up all the plates on top of each other? i am guessing the mall's evil plan is for us hit everything down.

Like a lost lamb, i slowly walk to the counter again with my under-dress state to ask the shiny person where is the women's section. He ignores me! Maybe he didn't hear me so i ask again. He gives me the cold shoulder! Now i know that i may not dress that well but still, that was too much! I grab him at the shoulder and the next thing i knew, his whole body rock towards me! It's a mannequin! That explains a lot.

OMG, it's Adam Lambert!! Err.. no.

Never knew the mall had such advanced mannequin. That's when i heard "encik, boleh saya tolong?" Where's my help when i need one just now? Maybe he got distracted until he saw this fool here talking to a mannequin and decide to observe some more before approaching me. Oh well. Anyway, once i got the info from him, i went to the woman's section.

Once i am there, i am lost again. All the brands and all the designs made my jaw drop. How in the world am i suppose to know which is great?? So many brands. Calvin Klien, Carlo Rino, Pierre Cardin, Gucci, Homer Simpson, Meg Griffin, Klux Xulk, Spiderman and CKHY. Mission impossible. So i decided to go to Jusco in Midvalley. My friend, Dennis, told me before that Jusco have great selections too.

Starbucks is in the clothing line?

From Garden to Midvalley, here i am in Jusco. That's more like it. A more familiar scene wtf. Once again, i found the women's section and decide to scout around. This time, again with the unknown brands. This is eating me alive here! So for the sake of practicality, i decided to go for either purse or bag. Memorize the price and back to Robinson in Garden.

One thing about design and i brand i learn from Wei Lian is that there are "Auntie brands," "Tween brands," "Hooker brands," and "The Right brand."
For guys out there who still think it is a mystery, here's an explanation:

Auntie - look nice (look auntie straight away) but when applied, made her looked too old.
Tween - it is just too young for her.
Hooker - what else? you look like a slut/hooker/prostitute etc
Right - Jackpot! You got it! We have a WINNER!

The problem is, that's how she looks at things. For me to judge takes a lot of effort. Right now, i am thankful that i actually observe her when she shops. Got me learning a thing or two. Who knew? Paying attention to your girl pays off wtf.

For many hours, i scour Midvalley and Garden nonstop. I just can't decide which is the right one for her. I literally went back and forth Garden and Midvalley, give or take, six times. Her gift have to be perfect! P - U - R - F - err.. yea. PERFECT!

Finally, i tell myself, i will just look one more time and decide! As i was walking towards one of the two malls (i forgot which mall wtf), it hit me! Like an anvil on the head! There it is!

Even the angel came and congratulate me wtf

It's a shop in Midvalley called "Mod House." It is perfect! Something nice and practical. My thoughts of getting either Elle or Carlo Rino is gone. That one bag attracts me so much i think it's like falling in love wtf. What else can i say, i was in the mall alone for more than four hours!!

Went in there, purchase it and run to my car screaming like a mad man! It's amazing no guard stop me. i might actually looked like i stole gold and hid it in a bag wtf.

That's that and of course i surprise her on her birthday by giving her that. Just hope that she really loves the bag. I bet my sweat must have dripped there to give it a musky smell wtf. As long as she is happy with it, i'm happy. If not, i will be jumping off the cliff screaming "HOLY SH....." Wow, what a statement that is.

Penang!

2010-12-19T23:42:00.002+08:00

Going to Penang tomorrow and of course i will be there with Wei Lian!

She will introduce me to a lot more great food.

Its been awhile since we get to see each other. Me with no more college life and needing to find work. i am really scared of unemployment. And also how Wei Lian and me are going to keep in touch with me not being in college any more.

Ahhh, the need to juggle many things at once. Well, worries aside for now. It is the end of the year and time to enjoy myself..

Guess a new chapter in life will start. Pressure is on.

Calv out.

Pasar Malam attack!

2010-09-28T23:19:00.003+08:00

Wei Lian and i finally concluded one thing!
One that will affect the night time forever. (err, most probably not)
Setia Alam pasar malam is the best yet!

I brought her to Taman Sri Rampai pasar malam (it's on every Thursday) long time ago.
Well, it's history now but here's what i think me and the girlfriend would agree about:
- Long but too little space in between stalls. BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD, you get it.
- No Taiwanese Pizza. BAD (for me)
- Good ban chien kuih! ( i don't know any other language for it wtf)
- The main problem is the space. So narrow that it's hard to walk around when it gets crowded.

Few weeks ago, she suggested that we go to Cheras pasar malam (it's on every Wednesday)

Here's the verdict:

- Not as big as it seems but spacious, longer than Taman Sri Rampai's.
- Crepe!!
- More like a fashion stall pasar malam (for me again)
- Good chocolate bubble milk tea!

And last week was the Setia Alam's pasar malam (Klang) or the girlfriend's place!
Every Saturday, it's doors are open to you.
Too far? You judge! The verdict from me:

- Great pau, kaya pau that is!
- BIG and SPACIOUS! Longer than Rampai's one.
- and they have mook's pizza too! plus point!

Jeng! So overall??? Well, guess each of them have their own highs and lows. XD

Best game!

I am sure this applies everywhere for everyone. It is also particular for playing games. Hey, even the one in Facebook. Admit it, at one point, everyone does this.

Here’s the thing: there is one game where everyone does play. Your life.

You log in right after exiting the womb, fresh into the world at Level 1. It is up to you to level up by gaining experience. Sure, maybe you don’t get to pick all those cool names like D@rk Kn1ght or something else but hey, that’s your first obstacle.

Like any game, you start as a novice. Know nothing, no skills but basic ones and you need to go through many tutorials before you can actually play the real game. This “tutorials” are called your adolescent life. Rebel all you want but you are bound to these so-called tutorials.

Depending on situation, you end the tutorial earlier or later. After learning the control and action buttons, you are ready to journey into the unknown. (Remember, still Level 1 or in some cases where demonstration is needed, Level 2)

Here is where you need to train hard to level up. As you slowly learn to do something, you slowly gain experience. This is when a set of skills will be made available for you. I’ll call it “Life Skills”. Select the appropriate ones because this will stick with you forever. Remember, you only have enough slots to equip some of the skills. Choose wisely.

Getting familiar with your skills? Now you have to master it. Certain skills can branch into other better skills. In majority of the cases, you need to level up to obtain more skills. With the amount of skills you have and the level you are at, you can now choose a Job.

Let’s backtrack a bit. While leveling up, you will find friends. If there are enough friends, you can become a party. Hanging out with them, doing things together and learning new skills will make you level up faster. Just look out for those lazy asses. They will be a burden to you and might slow the party down.

At a certain point, you will start complaining that it is so hard to level up no matter how long it takes. That will definitely happen. It’s what you would face. The monsters are attacking and you have to fight back. What are these “Monsters” now? A lot. Maybe it can be a bad hair day or even getting in trouble with the school teachers. That’s hard? Wait until you meet the “Boss”! They can tear you apart and you might need to do it alone. The SPM can be the Boss or heck, even your rival.

Along the way, remember to pick up some quest. You learn more and if lucky, gain new items. Talking about items, how can you even forget to get better equipments and accessories? The clothes you wear and technologies you use can be the equipment! The more you level up, the better equipment you can have. That’s one thing, but how about the cost of the equipments? Really now, that’s just the beginning.

You haven’t been introduced to a guild yet! In other words, your company! You have to take tenacious guild quest whereby it will kill you if you do it alone! This is where teamwork with your guild members comes into play. The rewards are amazing and worth your time. Worth your time?? What about your friends in your friend list? What about the time for them? You cannot just commit to the guild alone!

This is just part of your game. What about finding love? Or even not finding love? What happens when someone pass away? There are more quests, side-quests and missions to complete. If you decide to give up, that’s all you have. The same level everyday. No progress and there is nowhere you can go.

So remember, your life is like a game. Give up and you go nowhere. Continue training and you can be at the top of the world. Remember, you can even be a Guild Master. Or even the best in your Job. Fight through the monsters to meet the boss. Defeat the boss and do it all again. There are no repetitive quests.

Do it with caution. Do it with courage. Whatever methods suit you. Never log out. This is YOUR game. And finally, good luck.

Internship

2010-08-30T00:55:00.007+08:00

It's amazing how tough it was to cope in the Star.
All i want for the first few weeks was to run.

Yes, that's my desk, in front of R.AGE team.

Mainly, you know, office boy work and more.
Even Wei Lian was doing internship in a digital ad company. (#1 in Malaysia! Wow!)
The difference? She can write bodycopies for so many big companies.
What i envy the most is that she got a lot of work to do. (Shh, don't tell her that)

An errr.. overall view of 1/4 of the office?

Thankfully, after that, a series of events lead me to write a weekly movie review in StarTwo.
It's a section in StarTwo every Friday.
Eventhough it is a short article, it is worth the experience.
Watching movies for free and to be able to have lunch with Wei Lian.
Definitely cherry on top.

And although she said she didn't play a part for it, she did.
Imagine all the motivation and her listening to all my complaints.
i am just thankful she managed to talk me into working harder.

Best time was when i got my first byline!
Writing a review for Tekken, her favourite game (another cherry on top) XD

It had been a great experience and i really do hope that i can return to StarTwo.
I had quite a few review since.
Will definitely keep this experience in mind.

Calv out!

P.S. : When me and Wei Lian lepak in Borders Garden, this is what we saw that made us laugh (err.. definitely made me laugh harder)

Notice something different?
That was definitely a wtf moment!

The Germans came and gone!

2010-05-04T22:05:00.008+08:00

Dang, been a long time since i updated my blog!
Hello again!! Anyway, recently a certain band came to Malaysia: Tokio Hotel.

And yes, thanks to Wei Lian and my fast response to a survey in Facebook, we got free tickets there.
The "magic" happen at 1 Utama, Park Avenue.
The crazier fan of theirs is obviously Wei Lian. *grumble broughthertoseeTomwhoIshouldbangwithGerry grumble*
Me? i am cool with it.

Arrived a wee bit late to collect the tickets and also to see the autograph session.
All this just to have a glimpse at Tokio Hotel.
It was crazy up there as we saw fans from Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore and who knows where else!

As you can see, they were preparing themselves to sign autographs.
i remember Wei Lian and me saw this girl with red colour highlights at her hair went twice to get autographs and both times security have to pull her down the stage.

All i know is i should have brought a board saying "Tom Kaulitz (guitarist) stole my girlfriend" and she added "put a sad emoticon there" wtf.

Later on when we were heading to find something to eat right after the autograph session ended, we were walking at a direction and notice a lot, i mean A LOT of people running towards the same direction.
We saw Tokio Hotel walking towards our direction.

Look at how close they were. My camera phone wasn't even zooming at them.
It was crazy out there when the people started pushing here and there.
The band were heading for the exit on that floor, and there was other crazy fans who tried another exit hoping to catch them wtf.

After all that, it was concert time!
We were in line for quite long but like over an hour before the concert starts.
Once they let us in, fans were running all over to get a good spot!
Even Wei Lian sprint towards the front to get a good spot.
Thank God we found one!

Jin from Hitz FM hosted the concert and was good at it.
Opening performance by Pop Shuvit.
They performed six songs just for an opening act wtf.

Pop Shuvit, up there looking fly and all wtf.

Next is Bunkface, now this is the opening act i don't mind.
Too bad when they were performing Through My Window, something went wrong with ALL the microphones.
The crowds were booing but manage to calm down when they performed Situasi.

Finally......

Tokio Hotel is in! After waiting like 30 to 45 minutes?
Pity the DJ having to entertain us all.
Once the band went on stage, i can see and hear how excited Wei Lian was wtf.
She was estatic! *grumble willtakeher3weekstorecoverfromallthis grumble*

i have to admit, Tokio Hotel was great performing live.
They did a lot of songs, definitely more than 10 songs, inclusing Pain of Love, Automatic and Monsoon.
Bill's voice is just great; and the twins, Bill and Tom, know how to drive the crowds.
i really did enjoy their concert.

That picture is for you Wei Lian!!

Anyway, it was definitely a great first concert for Wei Lian.
Even better for her, Tokio Hotel did two encores!
Her favourite band was here. :)
Good thing she didn't hitch a ride to German with them wtf.
Next time, i will get a chain to tie her up with me.

It's been a long time since i have updated my blog.
A lot of events, personal thoughts and relationship thoughts are going on and making me learn more things than i ever had.
i realized that everytime i blog, i would just let my emotions get the better of me and then not thinking of the consequences.
What i write now in my blog actually shapes other people's perception of me.
Sometimes others who don't know me personally will get the wrong impression of who i am and my relationship with other people.
Even worse, what i was going through, i express it so much and wrongly that it causes even more pain.

Looking at how my relationship works, at times people thought that me and my pet sis Agnes are an item. That is not true. We are just friends and will remain that way.
i do have a girlfriend for quite sometime and because of the wrong decision made by me, it hurt her a lot that i don't show her how much i appreciate her.
i always miss all of the small gestures to make her feel great and even this, i didn't even mention her for others to know. It's not to show off a trophy but instead to let people know that i truly like her.

It sucks to know that there are so many things that i still don't know and realizing that i am so naive in this world is very troublesome.
There are so many life experiences that i am gaining only now.
I am so thankful that my girlfriend is helping me with it.
With all the things that she had done for me, there is still so much more that i want to show her.

Me and Wei Lian might be still new out there but the things we had gone through is a lot and i can't let her show me all the ropes most of the time.
At least i need to show her i am capable of doing so much more.
There are so many things that had been shown and i think i need to take a lot more action and initiative.

Calv out.

Tonnes of Project 365!

Sorry blogster! Will definitely make it up to you!

Ok, here's something that i never experience before.
There were 8 of us, and two Sushi King cards that made every solid plate cost RM2.
Of course we will abuse it right??
Each of us really stuffed ourself that night.

Let the picture speak for themselves:

Before the invasion.

Collecting all casualties.

Result of first round casualties.

Second round casualties. And we were still hunting for more!

Since we have to pay original price for wastage, there is of course a loophole.
You sneak out the additional rice in a plastic.
Thank God there is no rice detector at Sushi King.

Off it goes. The plan always work!

All and all, it was such a fun night.
Never thought that i could eat til my heart content.
i think everyone paid about RM23?
Of course it's worth it!!

Quote them all!

2009-10-10T23:47:00.006+08:00

Recently, i like to quote those little things said by people.
Whether they are on television or not, it doesn't matter.
As long as it is interesting enough, i will quote them.
i do agree, people do say the darnest thing.
Let me show you all a list. For more, those who have my Facebook and Twitter profile can have a look at it.

Morgan Freeman in the AWESOME movie The Bucket List, "When he passed away, i know that his eyes was closed but his heart open."

A woman told another woman "OMG, did u enlarge it? It looked huge!" out in the open. Some things are better left unsaid.

In an elevator, a woman "Eh, ade org ke? Takpe la. Kejam betul saye." wtf

A primary school kid asked me nonchalantly "Bang, boleh kasi 1 ringgit? Tak? 50 sen?" What did you think my answer was? wtf.

A girl in LRT, translate from Cantonise to English "He is too freaking ugly for me, sadly i'm ugly and fat too. Should i accept?"

A boy fell down "PUKI TIANG. Sape bodoh sgt bina tiang kat situ?! Mak kontraktor x ajar ke?" wtf.

Stay tune for more quotes in the future.
Oh ya, i will even quote my own friends if i have to! Beware!

Day 181: August 25, 2009

Meet Michael Campton aka Dr Popcorn.
Yes, he studies the same university as me.
Ever want to know what new movies are coming out? Screenshots? Updates? Reviews? Previews?
Just check out his site here.
Day 182: August 26, 2009

MYC came to HELP University College.
They want people to pose behind the Ribena backdrop (left) and stand the chance to be on the cover of MYC Magazine.
i tried it but just for fun and to motivate Grace (right, in blue) to do it too. XD

Day 183: August 27, 2009

Oh man, this is the worst i had ever experienced in HELP!!
When i wanted to register my subject the lady cancel one subject and said it's full.
What in the world? The first week and it's full??
Tell me that nicely and i will be nice. The way she told me is so rude and unfriendly that it ruins my mood.
That's when i started talking back, not raising voice!
Got me so pissed that i went straight to the top, Head of Department to get his approval!
What a day that was.

Calv out!

Just a little conversation

2009-08-23T21:00:00.006+08:00

There was a point, sometime ago, we have more than what we had in the heart.

Nothing really happenned because the timing wasn't right.

The truth is, no heart were crushed, just slowly fade away.

Between the two of us, the past things that were done, manage to touch the two hearts.

The times that we share, we will remember.

Too bad our story was not meant to be written; no beginning, no ending.

Years later, we still talk, see each other and i am thankful with that.

Especially last night with the heart to heart talk, as just friends, more were being revealed.

In this timeline, we have become true friends. The best have yet to come.

*****************************************************
Let's switch the mood!

Project 365:

Day 178: August 22, 2009

Ok, don't laugh! Seriously, don't laugh!!!
Happenned in Mount Kiara Club.
Look at the dryer at the picture? At first look i thought it was a hand dryer.
But then it was placed a little too high for our hand to be comfortable for drying.
Later i saw a man using it to dry his hair!! What in the world??
Who would have known that they actually invented this thing-ma-jid here to dry people's hair!
Don't laugh!!!

Day 179: August 23, 2009

Dang, my phone's receiver crashed causing me not able to listen to what other people say.
i thought i can get a new phone BUT my parents want it to be repaired!
So i went to Sunway Piramid to repair it at Nokia Centre.
Guess what, it cost me RM131!!!! Dang, RM50 for check up, RM50 for the labour work.
Means that the crashed part caused RM31?? WTH!! i might as well repair it myself right!!

Results and New Semester!

2009-08-21T22:59:00.005+08:00

Ok, i am freaking happy about my results this time and again, no i will not reveal it to the whole world!
The new semester is about to begin, which marks the end of the wonderful summer holidays!
So many things had happened and i am glad it did.
Got me to love my first love, basketball again! New jobs, old jobs. Meeting old friends, making new ones! Adventures i had in Malaysia. So many of them!

Kind of sad to step into college.
Another reason is the timetable sucks like hell!
Taking five subjects that resulted in four days of classes ending at 6pm.
Gah! i am seriously not looking forward to the coming semester.
Just hope that i can cope since all of the subjects are hard (to me).

Forgive the quality of my photos as it is taken using my Nokia 5300.

Look at the amount of people waiting in line to get their Mush Pit passes!

At least i finally got mine!

Yes, we were that close to the stage.
Of course we can squeeze closer!

Saw the bloggers gang there.

Basil and Hunny Madu greeted the crowds.

They performed "Just Because" and i don't really know the rest of the songs.

The 18 year old talented Pixie Lot! Dang can't get a clear picture of her!
She sung "Boys and Girls", "Mama Do" (love it!) and yeah, my bad memory prevails.

DiGi Sneak Peek Session

2009-08-15T00:08:00.011+08:00

First off, thank you Nuffnang and my quickness to respond to the email for this event.
Got an invitation to DiGi Sneak Peek Session.

It was held in Laundry Bar on August 12, 2009.

All i know is that this is my first time attending events like this.
Guess it is time for time to tell what is it about.

This is about DiGi's new strategy of focusing on young people like us *cough* using music.
They have created a site here for DiGi customers to download unlimited music for only RM5!~

If you are not into illegal downloading, you better not *cough again*, this is just for you!

After registering for this event, i guess i was just walking around as i don't see any familiar faces other than a few of them.
Sorry to all the pro blogger that i don't recognize you!

After getting used to the environment and friendly bloggers, a dance and rap performance was on.
Caprice was performing!

Later, there were speeches given by Albern Murty, Head, Product & Segment Marketing and another speech by Koay Chee Keong.

There were a contest "Dress like your favourite celebrity" too.

That's Kristine dressing up as Avril Lavigne.
She got a Swatch Watch.

i forgot what is his name, he dressed up as Jason Mraz.
He got a Samsung MP3.

One of the thing that most of us expected to happen is the appearance of All American Rejects.
Guess what? They did not show! We got their latest album instead! I WANNA SEE THEM!! =P

Anyway, later there were games where we need to log into DiGi Music's site and download a song.
The fastest wins!
There were 6 groups and i can't believe, by Merlin's Beard (too many Harry Potter), our Group won!!
Got myself a Bluetooth Earphone!!

Log in the site!

Search for song, download and send to friend!

That is my group! Group 6.

There are us posing for pictures.

And of course time to camwhore as well.

That is Kristine again.

Nigel over there.

Also bumped to Suresh but did not hang out after the event. He is watching District 9 that night.

And i saw Yvonne's friend's at the event, Jackie.

Another lovely lady, Jacquelyn.

And of course Jess was there as well.

i had a lot of fun and in the next post involved Boys Like Girls!

Calv out!

Contests, contests, contests!

2009-08-09T23:35:00.005+08:00

What's with all the pictures? What is going on nowadays?
Other than work, i had joined a lot of competitions.
i don't really know why the sudden contests frenzy.
Guess i have too much free time?

All i do hope for is that i will win at the very least one of it!
i pray, i wish, i hope.
Looks like i will be hooked to my email for GOOD news. *Hands clap together and pray hard*

It will be cool to be able to ask my own questions personally to Boys Like Girls.
Or even hang at an exclusive revolutionary music service.
Even winning limited edition merchandise?

So to everyone who do pray, please please please include me in your prayer! *evil laughter*
*cough* Err.. Yea, please?

Look at the eyes asking for the winning prizes!

Calv out!

MTV World Stage Journey

Wow, tonnes of things had happen this week.
Mostly all of it is centered around MTV World Stage!
Beware, there will be a lot of pictures, if you are not familiar with my blog.
Hahaha... Hope everyone enjoys!

The journey:

That's Nigel a.k.a. Fly Guy trying his luck to win Mush Pit Pass at APIIT.

There is me trying to win another pass.

Jeremy and Nigel trying to win a Mush Pit Passes again.
Notice me empasizing on that word. XD

The bloggers i met at Suresh, Jeremy, Cyan and Nigel!

A game where Bryan, his friend (right of Bryan, forgot your name! sorry!!) and Jeremy tried to win the pass.
Sadly all three got out.

That's Bryan and he won a mush put pass after setting record for lowest limbo game!
He can really bend his body!

Don't know her name but she can really sing!
Voice that i am so astounded at! Bravo girl!

Another music performance at Metropolitan for the Mush Pit Pass.

The environment there.

Wow, many singers and performers bidding their talents to win the ticket.

Well if you can't get your Mush Pit Passes, you can always top up RM30 to get a Red Ticket for MTV World Stage.

Crew and audience reaction when looking at performers.

Everybody Limbo!!!

Aww girl, just miss your chance of getting the Mush Pit Pass!

--------------------------------------------------------------

That's all the picture i am going to put for now maybe?
Hahaha.. It was really fun though.
Manage to meet a lot of people and the Crew for UOX is really really friendly.
Practically, Jeremy and i are close friends of the crew after stalking them, err, joining them.
Hope that i can meet all of them including the bloggers out there again!

Wow, a chocolate that i can eat.
It is amazing how i can taste it!

Day 160: August 4, 2009 (Tuesday)

Featuring Nigel who had to go through 13 games to get his Mush Pit Pass!
Sad thing is that he did not win any of the 13 games! Must be a new record!
The lasy boss, Carolynn, gave him one out of pity.
But look at that smile on his face. Hahaha... i am sure he is happy!

Day 161: August 5, 2009

The two girls in Metropolitan who pester David (right) A LOT for Red Ticket for World Stage.
The UOX crew, me and Jeremy of course made it tough for them to get it.
In the end, they were made to come to KDU, add us in Facebook; which they did; to get the tickets.
