Surrounded by morons

It's AMAZING how come my life is surrounded with morons that like to make use of people to get on with their lives. Forget about the damned iPhone saga that happened since last week and just ended by a 19 year-old whose words surpassed her auntie and uncle who are in their 40s LOL...All I did is to do a favor for her 'beloved' uncle who is famous in the family for being a total ass-hole(to me). All thanks to that idiot who 'reported' his/her detailed 'report' to him that causes the big hooha...Aiya anyway not gonna waste my precious time talking about this fiasco. HATE IT whenever I think of it. Then there's another idiot who like to throw her shit to my face almost every week due to her pure self-indulgence. After this iPhone saga, I will stop helping them cos I find that they are NOT WORTH my effort in helping them AT ALL. Sometimes adults like them are complete IDIOTS... How come my life is linked to them. JUST MY LUCK. Anyway I will be going to NZ in 2 weeks time to take in it's fresh air. Heck care the SG morons. FCUK YOU ALL!!! Btw I am only 'important' to you cos I got the extra time for you to play around, right... Actually if that main senseless guy come back to SG and make noise abt the iPhone blah blah, he will know what we(especially me) will retaliate back. Dun forget we are the ATITUDE people ok so dun ask us for help in the future. I will not pity u all... I just pity the kids who have such failure parents. May Buddha bless the kids...

My New Toy !!!

Me AGAIN fell to the dark side by getting the Sony Nex-5(silver) package that includes the dual lens. Emailed to all those well-known shops for quotations but the prices are so much higher than the one I got from ebay. Paid $1185 for the whole package. From the prices I got from those shops it starts with $1200+.

And most important that ebay seller has stock for the silver set as I find that black is too too common. I asked the seller how come he is selling @ such a good price, he mentioned that he is still in NS and his uncle has a shop in Chinatown wholesaling cameras so he is helping him to sell thus such a good price and also like his own business LOL...
Actually after the fiasco happened with one of the reputable shop in AMK I had totally lost faith with those so-called reputable shops. Dun wanna say too much but all I can say that their CS sucks to the core. One camera bag also want to cheat...
Next step is to shop around for a nice camera bag that can fit the camera body with the len attached and also another len. Thanks to the extra $200 I got from the GST Credit and the $ I had saved. Never imagine I will be spending more than $1k+ after the Pana G1 which I sold it off after a couple of months as I find that it is so heavy LOL.
What I can say about the Nex-5 is that the body is small and light and good for street photography. Will be bringing it to Orchard next monday to take some pics.
Wish Me Luck...

My 2nd LEGO iPad stand

I think either I got too much time on hand or I really like to build LEGO iPad stand LOL...Anyway this is my 2nd stand. Looks more sturdy and wider(thanks to D for the comments) :

My very own LEGO iPad stand

Actually this is my 2nd iPad stand but the FIRST LEGO stand for my iPad. The first stand is made of clothes hanger within 30 secs(watched a YouTube vid for instructions). Saw in the Net how people managed to built their own LEGO iPad stand from LEGO(obviously) thus I decided to have a go in building one since I do not wish to spent extra $ on getting an expensive stand LOL...Thus went to Toys'R'Us today and was haveing a hard decision which LEGO sets to get since I am on a budget and do not wish to spent more $. Finally got a basic set which is over 400 pieces and a petrol station set which both cost me aroud $50. Went home and in total blank how to build. HAHA... Unwrapped all the boxes and LEGOs and anyhow built one. Used super glue to act as a safety precaution since LEGOs bricks although are sturdy but I do not wish my stand to collapse while I am using the iPad with it LOL. Thus this is my end product. Simple but cute(maybe I can post in the Net for people to see ya) :

Moonse E-7001

Had read in the Net that there is a china made iPad called the aPad that can rival Apple's iPad thus ordered the Moonse E-7001 from one of the online electronics store. Actually when D went to Chengdu for company's trip I asked her to get for me the aPad or whatever china-made pad she can find but she is unable to find one. If I knew that it is the Moonse E-7001 I will tell her straight away. Speaking of this aPad, it has Android OS but is only V1.5. Was told that it is sluggish but who cares since it is so much cheaper than the actual iPad and the reason I bought the aPad is to have a feel of how a Android tablet looks like. After testing it, IT IS REALLY that sluggish but it is still good lah. Now prays that there is a FW that can update it to Froyo and I will be the happiest people in the world. HAHAHA.

My iPad...

Finally IT has arrived on the 13th May 2010. At first I told myself I do not need to get one but after seeing how great this device is from web or forums, I felt like I need to own one. Thus D got for me as a birthday present although my birthday is still many months away LOL...After I got the iPad, I tried to search in HWZ forum how to cut my normal sim card to a micro-sized one as the iPad requies it. I anyhow cut till the whole card is spoilt, thus I got no choice but to get a new one(FOC) from SH. Finally managed to cut it and it is working well in my iPad. Whoohoo. Also ordered a few sim-card trays from Russia and sold to people @ hwz since I only need 1(although I don't really need one since I had applied for the muli-sim card service).
Since the birth of my iPad I bought 2 casings and the latest casing which is the Hard Candy casing Sleekskin(green melon) is my true love. The pasting of the Bodyguardz for my screen of my iPad requires some skill. Was sweating like mad when I tried to paste it. Overall result is still not that bad LOL.
Then got the Camera Connection Kif for iPad from someone in facebook. I can tell u that this cutie has been sold out in US completely as it can connect USB devices besides camera to your iPad. If u managed to find it then the price will be horrific. Someone in eBay is selling for US$100+ and one idiot won the bid LOL...Maybe I should sell it as mine is unwrapped. NONONO...
After I got the iPad I find that I am spending lesser time on my desktop. Must reflect liao LOL...

Hokkaido Trip May 2010

Speaking of Hokkaido, it is a very beautiful place to go to. I hope I can go there again soon. The Uniqlo designs in there are in a wider variety and cheaper than in SG. Thus I bought a whopping 4 big bags of Uniqlo tess and pants and blouses over there. Bought one big box of tibits for other since when I saw them I dun feel like eating them...See till sian...LOL...

IT has arrived !!!!

Woot woot my Alienware M11x has arrived...One thing I can say is that DELL's CS support and their delivery department is so FUCKED UP and sucks to the core. Long long story. Dunno what the hell a piece of beauty like Alienware can be bought over by crappy DELL...SIGH...Anyway these are the pictures of this piece of beauty :

My Dream Laptop - Alienware M11x

Hurray...Mummy dearest has bought me my dream laptop as birthday present although my birthday is in August. LOL. Have been thinking of getting Alienware desktop/laptop since I know my ABC as I very likey the alienhead logo. Last time I can't buy it cos Alienware is from US then need to ship from US and no international warranty somemore but Dell has bought over Alienware already so it means I can purchase it from Dell Kiosk or online via Dell's site. Has a hard time deciding should I get it or not and have been doing my homework for it lately so finally decided to get the M11x as it is the cheapest amongst all laptop and I don't like to have another desktop yet as I am a lazy person and don't like to shift here and there. But I need to wait for 2 weeks for the lappy to be delivered to me as stated in their site. I hope that I can get it before my Hokkaido trip which is on 03/05/10. Pray for me. The ordering process is very cool as I get to customize each part of the laptop beginning from the color of the base to the AlienFx Color. Cool cool cool... When IT has arrived, I will blog again with pictures...

My Latest Baby - HTC HD Mini

This is my latest addition to my smartphone collection. The guy who served me has a very good personality and he tried his best to look for a suitable screen protector for the MINI although there isn't any suitable ones in the mkt now. So he told me usually the matted screen protector will arrive around 2 weeks times and he will sms me once stock has arrived. He even gave me a free screen protector as a temporary solution and pasted it on the MINI for me. So good of him. We even had a short and funny chit-chat blah blah. Thinking back I also dunno y the MINI is being selected as I'm liking my iPhone to death with so many pages of apps majority being games and most important got We Rule inside. The reason might be cos I'm so obsessed with the color yellow and the MINI has a yellow back structure and even the battery is yellow in color. It has been donkey years since I last touched a HTC phone although it has been only 2 years since I touched a HTC G1 but that doesn't counted cos the G1 is a Android phone whereas the MINI is a WM phone. So in other words it has been years since I last touched a WM phone LOL...Another reason why I liked the HTC MINI cos I super adore the BIG BIG calendar display of all HTC phones whereby I need to jailbreak my iPhone in order to get this feature but since I am sicked of jailbreak iPhone, thus for my iPhone 3GS I did not or even bother to jailbreak it.

So hope that Del will call me within 2 weeks for the actual screen protector cos I dun dare to bring the MINI out w/o a proper screen protector. Now is time to learn all the tips and tricks of the WM phones after I got a prepaid card.

Exclusive Collectibles from HTC Singapore

Was told on Monday via Facebook that I'm one of the lucky winners for the exclusive collectibles from HTC Singapore. Was damn elated and surprised cos I dun think I will be selected. HAHA. Once I'm notified, I quickly go and see the T&C as to what did I won. Afetr flipping thru the wordy T&C, there are some winners for notebook, teddy bear and umbrella. Then someone posted in the HTC Singapore wall what will the prizes be(obviously they entered blindly LOL...). So I also join in the discussion and someone talked about what top prize and I was thinking WTH is the top prize? Then I copy and paste the prizes section from the T&C and posted at the wall. But that doesn't stop the speculation of top prize(LOL). So I said maybe they will ballot and let fate decide what we deserve HAHA.

Once I looked at the address for the collection of the prizes I was thinking maybe it is near my ex-co. So yesterday being a famous road-idiot, I drop off at Tanjong Pagar station and walked thru the tak boleh tahan sun and reached the place at exactly 2pm. But before that that place is just besides my ex-co duh.

To my surprise, I was given tons of collectibles like teddy bear, notebook bag, notebook and recycle bag. All have the HTC logo and slogan. When the person-in-charge told me "all these are yours", I am speechless as I expect we will be given only 1 or even ballot. So I suppose he read about our posts about the prizes and be so so kind decide to gave us all of them LOL. As I can foresee they will took pictures of the winners so before I stepped out of the house I took the initiative to dress formally and indeed was told to hold all the barangs barangs and he took some pics of me and the collectibles. WHAHAHA. But after I walked out of the office I realized that the recycle bag that contain all the barangs has a small hole LOL. So no choice but to carry the whole bag and took the train home. Once the train reached Pasir Ris station, I buay tahan and took out the notebook bag and it is SO SO SO NICE leh..Then i dump all the barangs including my personal bag into that notebook bag as so heavy to me. HA.

Took a pic of the collectibles and posted it on HTC Singapore wall. But in the end that is not the end of the matter. 2 winners(who also joined in the discussion of the prizes earlier) also commented on my picture and here it goes tons of comments for a single picture LOL.

Might go to the HTC Mini event tomorrow at Ion to get the Mini or just to see see LOL.

p.s : one of the winner said that I'm very contradicting cos I'm a iPhone user but joined HTC Singapore group in FB and won HTC Singapore collectibles. LOL...

Anyway i will like to say a BIG THANK YOU to HTC Singapore for the exclusive collectibles.
