The new Apple iPhone 4G

Hi guys,

Finally after a good few years of waiting, I finally got my hands on the new Apple iPhone 4G!! Don't ask me why I could not get it previously I'd probably take 6 years to explain why but this timing is great this time! After being on a waiting list from Orange for weeks on the 16GB, I was getting frustrated and by mistake and thanks to this really helpful staff in Orange; he said I could get the 32GB model not knowing there was waiting list for this model too. :) Yes, it was quite crazy when Apple first launched the iPhone 4G. Anyway I am very pleased and after much hassle, I got the new 32GB black model. I just wanted the phone, 16 or 32GB it don't matter to me. Absolutely brilliant despite a couple of dropped calls, poor reception at times; yes I still love it very much. I am still waiting for the free bumper from Apple which can only be shipped in September, in the meantime I am using a black fully covered bumper simply because I am quite a clumsy person and I think I should take good care of it since I need it for a good 24months at least on an Orange contract. :) 

I find it extremely useful for someone who cannot read map properly and just pointing me where my current location is and how do I get there next; especially since I am pretty new to London. One of the places I could navigate without a map is Oxford Circus and Bond Street; yes for those who are wondering; I spend a lot of times at the shops and I love shopping! Even Laughton can't figure out where he is or how to get to the next shop when we are down in Oxford Circus; yes by the time he flips out his London A-Z map, I am already halfway to the next shop. It's very handy and I feel like it's my miniature MacBook Pro inside my handbag. :) Absolutely brilliant! 

32GB is probably quite a lot of space for me right now as I do carry my iPod classic with a 120GB with me so, I am not using my iTunes on the phone seems like hard work to keep sync-ing everything and duplicating them. I love the apps and I get 600 minutes talk-time, unlimited texts and 750MB data with a 35 pound monthly contract from Orange. So it is a pretty darn good offer for me!

One could possibly go on and on about the iPhone so I am not going to do that since I am still a relatively new user and not quite familiar with the functions but it does a great job for me. Very handy to take decent pictures if I am too lazy to take the Nikon Slr with me. I am not sure how you guys would rate it but anything from Apple = brilliant! Enjoy guys!

My first encounter with MacBook Pro

July 22, 2009

Hello everyone!! Sorry for the long break from updating my blog, got couple of e-mails about why I have not been updating my blog; simply because I had was busy handing over my previous laptop to my brother in college and my new macbook did take a while to arrive. Anyway, I have posted some photos of my new MacBook Pro to share and yeah, it did take me some time and patience before I could "unlock" the macbook and got it running! I am still in the process of getting to know my macbook and so far, it has been an awesome journey! I am truly in love with my macbook and just wondered why I didn't get this earlier. I think I made a pretty good attempt migrating from my old reliable Windows to a Mac OS. Nice!

It was really a pleasant surprise when my parcel arrived almost a week earlier than expected and I was unwrapping the parcel filled with excitement like just unwrapping a Christmas gift, this time a macbook instead of a Gucci handbag haha. I can be quite shallow at times/ most of the time, I can be really excited even though I'd already knew what was in the wrapped box. I can now type in the dark thanks to the backlit keyboard and I am really pleased with Apple. I was skeptical initially after my iPod classic, but hey, maybe we just need to get to know them better or well enough. Two thumbs up!

Apple's no frill design and packaging. I ordered a MacBook Pro 13 inch and got it customised/upgraded to a 4GB RAM and a 320GB Hard disk drive. Cost me around Rm 5,500. Pretty good deal for an Apple!

This is EXCLUDED and I had to buy this separately and cost me RM 119. Apple should consider giving me a free notebook sleeve at least after paying that much for a laptop.

I was quite impressed to see the black foam inside the box and my macbook was well kept and protected. I was pretty shocked too, inside, it was so simple. My Nokia/ Sony Ericson handphones probably had more inside the boxes when I purchased them! Just the power adapter, a manual and some recovery CDs. That was it!
Ah-ha a nice glimpse of the macbook finally!




My backlit keyboard. One of the main reason I look for when I did my laptop hunt this time. Very useful for someone like me.

Don't get freaked out by the blue lights, just the notebook fan cooler working underneath the macbook.
Ok time for me to say goodnight and will be posting some of my holiday entries for you all! Adios!

Our new gadget- Nikon SLR, March 19, 2009

The weather in Melaka is really hot. It was probably around 32 degrees Celcius normally and I really do wonder how I managed all the heat throughout these years. :) Well, coming back from Bermuda which was at 15 degrees Celcius and then at New York during the weekend where it was under 10 degrees Celcius, the change in temperature was killing me as my sinus attacks were as often as daily and I had to take decongestants and anti-histamine tablets which caused me to be drowsy most of the time! Hence I spent most of my time in air-conditioned room and minimize outdoor activities. Hopefully things will get better later on once my body acclimatise to the heat.
Anyway, the picture below explains the why the Malaysian Iced Tea (a.k.a Teh Ais) is such a popular drink and I can have this everyday at any time of the day! It's awesome.
We had breakfast at my favourite Mee Rebus stall in Melaka. Tambah sotong! Best-lah.

I was being greedy as usual so I ordered some rojak too. But ended up packing it for my brother as I probably had one or 2 small scoops only.

Happy face when I get me food!

Its all about eating. By the time I realised, lunch time! Grandma made me my favourite dish- Ikan masak taucu (Fish in bean paste sauce), it tasted just like the old days. I used to have this with just plain rice, when I was staying in Melaka. Yummy!

Laughton and me decided to get a SLR camera and here I am posing with our newly acquired Nikon SLR D60. I bought it earlier actually from KL last week, but just had the time now to start meddling with it.

A proud Nikon D60 owner! (well, half owner actually!) The 2 pictures below is actually dedicated to my brother Kevin. I love to tease him and try to make silly poses just like from the photos I saw from his girlfriends. No hard feelings intended to anyone who enjoy the few poses okay! Just kidding. :)

Okay, this is probably the only picture you can find me trying to act stupid or cute. Whatever suits. :) Kevin, I hope you like this. Ha ha

Okay back to some professional in action.

Some pictures of the new Slr.

Looks like I gotta do some homework and some learning before I can take award winning pictures with the new Nikon. :) Stay tuned!
