Holidays~ Selamat Hari Raya!

Yes, Hari Raya is today actually. Well I bet some of you are bored. There’s quite a few updates recently.

Firstly, I got my driving license *at last!*. I’m still a coward . I don’t dare to drive out yet. Well, getting my license means I can wake up late on Sunday mornings again, don’t have to go round that 3 roads that I keep forgetting the way and my instructor’s complaints and words that he speaks so softly even his own tongue can’t hear (if it has ears).

What a day to have your driving test.

Then there’s my niece. The more I see her, the chubbier she gets. Seriously.

Pictures I took with my cousin’s D60 with macro and UV filter.

Large eyes

These were taken last week, this is today.

Her outfit doesn’t really fit her anymore

Went KL and back two weeks ago, here’s a picture of Rakuzen’s sushi . Full album on my Facebook .

Fried prawns, my favourite.

At the beginning of the month, Apple got a keynote on their music player/gadgets, namely the iPod family and iTunes.

Firstly I’d like to say R.I.P. to the Click Wheel, and I wonder how you want to scroll through songs on the new iPod Nano.

Now, I present the iTunes 10.

All with album art

The new iTunes 10 actually tops off with unexpected tidbits that I think is useful for most of us. Just click on the album art at the lower left side and you’ll get this.

What else would you get? The album art of course!

The album art itself is now a mini player instead of just the album art in iTunes 9.

Cool?

Size might be randomly unfavourable for most of us, so you can actually do this.

Why are you so great?

Well, before I end this post I would like to announce the death of the HTC Touch Elfin I’d been using for about 7 or 8 months now. The battery got pregnant and it’s nowhere to be found in retail shops, asked the official HTC group on Facebook without reply yet.

Next phone I’m getting will not be a Windows Mobile phone for sure. Totally the worse experience of phones is with WinMo. It lags very much, consumes battery like a great white shark.

I’m aiming on the Acer Liquid E actually. The phone is totally a kickass one with the price, but is still expensive for me. I’m using a Sony Ericsson w800 while waiting for the price of this babe to drop since it was only released on August.

The more I see, the more I love this phone.

Swing from the hip now!

I’m back! Not by swinging from my hip that is, my backbone is killing me these days. It’s from a song, 00 Gringo by Urban Delights. A funky song I must say.

SPM Trials just past for a day, and I’m like a free bird now. I never felt so care free.

First off, being an uncle now. Yes. My sister-in-law gave birth and is now a mother to a baby girl. Gabrieanne Yap Xin Yee.

If you ever see this picture of yourself in the future, please don’t sue me.

I can’t just leave this picture in my hard disk. =|

Next up is a lame one. My brother actually plays Starcraft II.

It’s so lame!

I actually went into a wine house with my mom. To my surprise, the place is cozy and I find it really pleasant.

Don’t really have a nice shot of the whole shop inside, too dark =|

For dead phones, we have first blood! Not really dead, it's the screen’s problem I suppose.

Notice the different colour of the buttons LOL.

Yeah It’s my mom’s Sony Ericsson W550i. Turns out it’s only a minor problem, but she got a Corby Wifi instead.

Kitchen had been leaking water due to external retention and caused a minor flood in the kitchen! *Gasp*

Happens only during heavy rains.

There’s this line of crack that enables all water to get in. This thing squeezes fillers out. It did the job magically.

A part got patched up. Just look at the cracks =\

Somehow my niece’s first full moon celebration arrived. That month was fast.

The family with someone extra there.

See the whole gallery only on Facebook! Link to my profile at the side >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That leads me to today. Trials are over, being care free by celebrating my joy with a DSLR borrowed from my cousin brother. He got a UV filter and a +4 macro filter, both for about RM60, which I can’t believe! It’s so cheap! So I got around and objectwhoring. It’s a macro filter, who wouldn’t snap close-ups?

Yup, 5Hv2 got a new companion, the iPod Nano 2nd Gen.

This player might be old, but it still does its job pretty long lasting with a single charge.

Well I better go sleep now, it’s already 12.30a.m. and I have to jump out of the bed early to get to KL tomorrow! Should be posting again real soon!

What a turn

P/S : I’m removing watermarks on the pictures I uploaded since all are now in 640px x 480px and no funky reflection for the thumbnails because it uploads 2 of the same pictures for the effect and filled my Picasa -_-

First off, I’m now officially an uncle. Yeah, I’m old and this is awkward =|. Anyway the blogging has to continue! My cousin came over with his Macbook Pro with a pink Speck.

My cousin’s Macbook Pro.

Went to Parkson today and there is this new shop called ITWorld. It’s more like a copy of Machines (KL’s Mac retail shop). Went in and there’s a Macbook White. That was the first time I saw a Macbook White. I realized that it has more curves on the White instead of the Pro, but less power and more dust collection on the White too.

Then comes a jewelry box from my mom.

Yes, the gayness, I know.

Well at first when my mom handed it over to me, I denied her offer but hesitated for a moment and took my words back. I had ideas that even I facepalmed.

Yeah I traded the Zen my elder sister gave me with the 2nd generation iPod Touch with 2GB. Worth the trade thanks to iTunes’s features that works only on an Apple product.

As for the jewelry box, it just couldn’t get gayer than this.

Shining and reflective yet with flower texture.

Got Howard’s Vaio flashdrives that he got from China.

“They both worked fine for a month, and after that it went haywire” – Howard. Tried my best to save it, and still saving.

I tested Chromium OS! Somehow the whole OS is really really lightweight and it’s really just the Chrome browser interface itself.

There. I don’t know how to print screen on Chromium and it was running on a flash drive

The other day at Parkson when I had lunch with my mom, there’s these weird products being displayed at the tea shop.

“Coral” – Fish

“Why so ugly???” – Elder sister

A jacket from HP ended up on my mom’s hand which belongs to her friend.. That jacket has the best quality for Winter.

HP.

My elder sister came back from KL due to homesick (I think) and I jailbroke her iPhone 3G to iOS 4.0.1. Everything worked out fine and she says it’s faster and more energy efficient too.

Restored the downloaded iOS 4.0.1 and used redsn0w to get the jail broken.

Don’t ask. Just let it be.

And a smooth process it was.

Here comes baby Gab, my niece.

She cute if she doesn’t annoy me. LOL

And this isn’t the view I was going to expect at my sister-in-law’s ward.

A view of rooftops~

This time for real, I won’t be updating till August. Also, I saw a lot of people using Tumblr now for a photo blog. I’m really considering this. Blogger is really giving headaches sometimes.

And always remember to be happy~

Like OMG Baby!

Yeah, new mix from DJ Earworm. Like OMG Baby! Get it from DJ Earworm’s site.

I chose the name of the song for this post because there’s a lot of debris in my way.  Human lives improve as it goes along. No one wants to downgrade.

Being class monitor of my class is kinda frustrating. I can’t speak up directly to the office, even if I did, they’re not gonna do anything about it.

Like last week, from Monday right after recess till Friday, there’s no electricity in a few classes. I can’t do anything about it but to suggest a few ways that were ignored. Last resort – brought my own manual fan to school. Fell sick after that -_-

Whatever happens,

Still love the place, but not so much on the school’s management.

And most people are ageists.

Then here comes Add. Maths project. 3 weeks. I started about the 2nd week of the holidays, somehow I did it! =D

Woots!

Seng Foo visiting here as often as before… He gonna go back and study advertising if I’m not mistaken. Good luck!

His Mazda car key.

Got random shots. Yeah I’m random sometimes -_-

Jusco rooftop =D Most of the time, the view is better than this.

Saw one of the weirdest thing in Jusco.

At the top of Watson’s counter.

My mom finally cooks fish and chips! And great too. She bought it for about less than RM12 for a pack of chips and a dozen fish pieces.

Woots! Delicious too!

I want more already =D

A white butterfly flew around in the house last week. Got a chance to take a few pictures of it before scaring it away =|

Yeah, the noise. Photoshopped for the colour and the angle.

Trigonometry. What we gonna do without you? Sketched one of the best graphs (my work only LOL).

y=-sinx

And before I end this, Macbooks are seducing me -_-

Even the lowest spec Macbook White is seducing.

When I dream of getting what I want, there’s always obstacles. And by obstacles I always imagine that they’re things with this face.

The cool face.
