Phailed

I did not get the job. Haha. Well, i guess it's not meant to be. Not sure what's coming next either.

Valentine's Day

I'm kinda amused that people celebrate Valentine's Day with no clue about the origins of the day. All they know is that's the day that they should spend a lot of money to impress a girl or get laid. Can't blame the people, this day has been modernized throughout the years.

Quoted from Wikipedia

Thanks to a concentrated marketing effort, Valentine's Day is celebrated in some Asian countries with Singaporeans, Chinese and South Koreans spending the most money on Valentine's gifts.

Well, i spent Valentine's Day with Lay Theng from Midvalley to The Curve and back to Midvalley.

We went Midvalley for shopping and collected our movie tickets for the night. We were going to watch Pink Panther 2!

We then moved on to The Curve. The reason i chose to have dinner at the curve is because i could get roses for her. I have made reservations for half dozen of roses for only RM25 from mySimplifieds.com. If you don't know what is mySimplifieds.com, head down to their web site. It's where you can post classifieds like you do on newspaper. very useful i say. They had the valentine day promotion. With all the prices of roses and gifts going up, it's kinda crazy to spend RM100+ on a bouquet of roses.

We reached the curve, we walked around doing window shopping. I asked to be excuse, saying that i wanted to check out our reservation for dinner. So i quickly walked to Cineleisure Damansara where the mySimplifieds.com's booth is located to collect my roses. I went back into the shopping mall and look for her and then TaDa!



We then moved on to Italliani's! It's my first time there and i was kinda excited. We already made reservations so we got in as soon as we reached. The atmosphere was great where the tables where all seperated into single tables and every table has a candle. A very romantic night i would say.

In the menu, we were to share our appertizers and desert while the main course is for two of us. She had the spaghetti with seafood and i had steak. For appertizers, we had deep fried mushroom with cheese and tiramisu for desert.


This is one of the most tastiest food i ever consumed. It's just so good.


Our drink for the night, i don't remember what's the name but it has wine and strawberry and some juice.


Here's baby at the table!


What i had for the night. It was delicious.


Baby and her spaghetti.


The best. Nothing more. You taste a hint of wine as you eat the tiramisu.

We sat there and enjoyed our dinner and chat the night away. As it was time to go, i asked for the bill. It came with a staggering amount of RM230. I actually thought the set was RM85 for two. But it is actually RM85 per person for the main course. That practically spoil the mood for the night. Luckily we had enough cash or we would be spending the night cleaning in the kitchen.

On the bright side, we won free latin dance classes from mYoga worth RM300!


This was what i got her. Reddish Twin by doodolls!

Classes have already started and we are suppose to hand up our final year project proposal by 28th of February! For this semester i have two subjects, Advance Networking and Moral. Not really fond of my Advance Networking tutor. My Moral tutor on the other hand is kinda interesting. Today we talked about homosexuality and abnormal sex. Wait, maybe the topic was interesting.

Still waiting for the results from my interview. I did not blog on how the interview went. Maybe next time. It was my first actual interview and it was real scary.

I'm gonna finish my proposal now.

Until then!

Technews roundup

G-Shock Gulfman

Over the weekend, i've got myself a new watch. I've always wanted to get a watch because my previous one went in for surgery and never came back. That was like 5 years ago. So, i went watch shopping and decided i get this.


G-Shock Gulfman

I like the watch because of the rugged styling and it's the perfect guy watch for outdoor and stuffs.It features a tide graph which keep tracks of the tide level and a moon graph which keep tracks of the phase of the moon. You have to set the coordinates to be accurate. Furthermore, it also has world time, 3 alarms, a stopwatch and a timer. It also has auto EL where with a flick of the wrist, the light on the watch will turn on.

Built wise, it has rust resist where part of the watch body is made of titanium, G-Shock shock proof and 20 bar water resistance which means 200M. Not suitable for diving though.

Overall i find the watch very useful and durable. I still haven't managed to set the tide and the moon graph though.


Microsoft Windows 7 _______. What!?


Microsoft has announce the versions of the upcoming Windows 7. There will be 6 of them which are (source from engadget):

Windows 7 Starter

* Available worldwide to OEMs on new PCs
* Missing Aero UI tweaks
* Limited to 3 simultaneous applications

Windows 7 Home Basic (Vista equivalent: $200)

* Only available in emerging markets
* Missing Aero UI tweaks

Windows 7 Home Premium (Vista equivalent: $260)

* Available worldwide, to OEMs and in retail
* Includes Aero UI tweaks
* Features multi-touch capabilities
* Adds "premium" games
* Adds media capabilities (Media Center, DVD playback, DVD creation, etc.)
* Can create home network groups

Windows 7 Professional (Vista equivalent: $300)

* Available worldwide, to OEMs and in retail
* Includes all features of Premium
* Adds enhanced networking capabilities (Remote Desktop host, domain support, offline folders, etc.)
* Adds Mobility Center
* Adds Presentation Mode

Windows 7 Enterprise

* Available only in volume licenses
* Includes all features of Professional
* Adds Branch Cache
* Adds Direct Access
* Adds BitLocker

Windows 7 Ultimate (Vista equivalent: $320)

* Limited OEM and retail availability
* Includes all features of Enterprise

IMO, why can't they have only two versions? The home and the professional. Wouldn't it make life much more easier? Furthermore, to actually encourage users to switch to Windows 7, although there are positive reviews from the beta, it must be backward compatible and will not have problems supporting the softwares that previous windows supported. Because of the incompatibility, a lot of users refused to switch to Vista. It's a different story now, although some games still refuse to corporate with Vista. Windows 7 must make it easy for user to convert, that will be the critical point of success as it already performs well in the beta tester.


New iPhone rumored, due June 2009.


True or false?

There is no exact proof over how true this can be but it is rumored that there will be a new iPhone from the fellas at Cupertino. Probably during June because summer is the time when Apple will usually introduce new products. It is said that the iPhone will have new features over the old features, which i hope this would be some it:

MMS capability
Copy and Paste
Bluetooth sharing
Video capture
Video call
Better megapixel camera

There is even rumors about an iPhone nano. I wonder.

I'm still waiting to get my hands on one. There's a thing about technology where it is limitless, new stuffs keep emerging everyday and it's difficult to catch up with all. I've been waiting for the iPhone since 2G and now with this new rumor, i am reluctant to get the iPhone. Should i wait? By the time i get enough cash, i bet the new one would be out. Or not.


Current Wanted List

Here are a few items i would want to get my hands on.

1. Rams (4GB Kits)
   
   Since my Crucial Ballistix Tracer died on me again. Second time. I am considering 2X2GB sticks. I now have 2X1GB patriot and 2X1GB Ballistix Tracer but am running only on 2GB patriot rams. Am considering 2X2GB Kingston HyperX which cost around RM230.


2. Graphic Card
   
   I keep telling myself i gotta upgrade this, gotta start saving money. Am waiting for the price of 260GTX to go down. Or maybe settle for a ATI HD4870. By upgrading the card, i would have to upgrade my power supply to support the additional power needed. The estimated cost would be around RM1K? If you really want to play games with good graphics, never settle for a mid-range card, it's just not satisfying enough, just like my 8600GTs.
   


3. HDD
   
   The endless number of series, movies and ISOs are killing me. i need an additional portable HDD. 1TB should be sufficient. In other news, Seagate has introduced it's first 2TB HDD. Woot!

On the dreamer's list, an i7 system. That would definitely be awesome.

My interview is approaching soon and i'm nervous/excited. I really hope i can get the job. Wish me luck !

I guess that's all for now. Still trying to find a solution to my boredomness. Watched house and played Fifa Online today. I also bought Fifa 09 today. I think i shall just read Steve Berry's The Venetian Betrayal.

Until then.

What?

You know what? We need more of this. Listening too much of emo and rock songs makes me a sadist. LoL. What we need is a dose of happiness. Carefree and nothing to worry about, living in our own world. Yes, we need an escape. So ladies and gentlemen, i present you your escape.




It's too unreal. But it's so happy ! haha.

Next, i present to you, the PCD of Korea. Less power though.



*The girl in pink is kinda hot.*

In case anyone wonder where i got this from, blame MTV.

Something for the girls. Please don't try this on an unstable object.



I'm so freaking bored. Anything to do? Save me from the endless boredom!
