Choosing your gadget ^_^

I was known for someone who is not up to date with technology. Not because I hate it. Indeed I love technology. But I dont feel the need for me to go for it.

I look for technology when i find it was necessary in my life. Not just because I root for it.

Some people just too confuse on what to get from the market with sooo many selection of gadget and stuff, all with their own pros n cons.. Hopefully this guide will help in choosing the right one fit your style, and your budget

First of all, think what do you want..what is your needs. Do you want it for style, fashion, trend follower, u use it frequently and so on. Some people dont really know about the gadget they bought, since they bought it because everyone else have it. Getting the idea of your perfect gadget will really help.

Ok, for me I look for practicality. I like to be efficient and practical. For me, I would go for all-in-one type.

Usually, everything which is available in a decent smartphone.

My criteria will be:

1. Ease of use - Sony ericson is a pain in the ass for me
2. GPS - mainly because I dont really know places
3. WiFi - to access free internet whenever I went outside/emergncy
4. Multimedia Player - mp3, videos, movie..everything in one while traveling or working alone
5. Decent camera - to snap sudden event
6. Tough - I'm not too good with handling

For me, this whole stuff was readily available in Nokia N95. Unfortunately the GPS is too weak and hardly get any signal, forcing me to look for another model.

One perfect gadget for me would be OMNIA II, but since my budget too tight and price still high, I have to change my ideal phone no ExpressMusic 5730.

Among all Nokia release, I think this one fits me most. it has GPS, wifi, 3.2 MP carl zeiss camera, multimedia player. Plus it also has qwerty keyboard with good feel when using (since my hand is quite large), and also dedicated game button to play games..which i found very convenient

N-gage game pre-installed and they were very exciting. Plus they gave 1 free activation key to any of the games.

QWERTY keyboard is really useful especially when surfing the net. you can easily navigate using the D-pad and also type easily.

GPS respond is very fast too. The receiver is strong enough to capture signal eventhough during rainy or cloudy days. 

For me, this handphone fits me very well. I dont have to buy another mp3 player, gps unit, small laptop or portable game console since i have it in this one compact gadget. 

Let say I choose to spend on all these item separately:

PSP: RM600

GPS: RM700

MP3 player: RM200

Small laptop: RM1200

Total: RM2700

But with xpressmusic 5730, i spend RM1050 for all the stuff i need. Yeah...its worth it.

Headphone and Speaker

Question: Why one would choose to buy a Rm100 headphone while he can get a decent speaker set?

Answer: Because RM100 headphone give rich nice booming sound then crappy-lousy-out of beat RM100 decent speaker.

I was once keep throwing question like above many times in my mind. But the thing is, during that time, I never had a chance to get in my hand a quality headphone. Around me was only Altec Lansing and Sonic Gear...which for me is already good that time since my speaker is RM100 category.

So, the quality one would get from these headphone was kinda lousy. So the mindset was, "it is better to get a speaker as we can get the beat and vibration!!".

After get the taste of good headphone, even with a lousy headphone amplifier..the sound was SUPERB!!! Even more satisfying than my current speaker setup. The sound is just rich. It was really satisfying, well, I should say only decent to my ear. If got budget would go for better headphone. 

For same price, if you are looking for something that really satisfy your ear, look for headphone.

To get same sound result, nice, rich, beautifully from a speaker is just too PRICEY!!! The whole setup was expensive. Normal setup as can be found at electronic shop only gonna satisfy minors. With more sensitive ear, who want more clarity, richness of sound a speaker can produce...one have to spend thousands of Ringgit.

*Going into upgrading current speaker set mode*kaching*kaching*kaching*

Huh!? Theres a hole in my wallet... T_________T

P/s: Just added front speaker at my Saga BLM ride...hoho. Now can go more BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Next is amp and crossover and woofer? Ow yeah baby!!

Ronaldo is out of Manure

Lol...this arrogant fella finally our of beloved club for many but not me..ahahaha. United will do great without ronaldo? dont be silly...the days when Ron is injured Manure got no wins. Ahahahaha

And to think they want to survive next season without him? Lol...

Manure just need Ron to get injured to lose. Unlike Arsenal, who can still beat the top club with 2nd string players.

If ferguson cannot find Ron replacement, I doubt they will do wonders next season. Ahahahahaha. Ribery is likely not to come though. Who wants to come to united? Bleh~

The only club who buys player with reasonable price and quality in this age is Arsenal. Other clubs just want to loose their money and players bought might just sit on the bench for the rest of the season....aiyaa

Woh. Wenger is selling again.

Huhu..Wenger is selling again. This time its Adebayor. If he really want to sell, he should do so last season when  Adebayor value is off the roof. Now he is not as producing as last season, his value has dropped. 

I am not worried though as Arsenal is now full of strikers. We have cool finisher like Eduardo and Carlos Vela, Van Persie, hardworkin Jay Simpson, soon to get better or worse Bendtner and quick pace Walcott.

I really hope Jay Simpson will get his chance at Arsenal first team next season. He is really talented and hardworking. Even Bendtner get his chances. I suppose next season Vela will shine. 

Back to Adebayor, he really is strong for aerial battle. Just look at how many goals he scored by header. And he can shrug off defender in the air. He is an asset for that matter. But overall as a striker, his finishing is poor.

Compared to eduardo, he is cool enough to score a beautiful goal without hesitation. Make it getting surrounded by 4 defender he'll sure to find a way to get the ball went to the net. So does Vela. Its rare to see him miss the chance. Maybe the experience is not enough causing him not to produce last season.

Hmm, I've read about other clubs targetting Clichy. Well, being one of the best left back in the world will surely make him a target. But Arsenal still need him even though Gibbs has the potential to replace him. Gibbs really is magnificent. I cant stop thinking about him playing in that position. I knew that he played as a winger previously. At first, I think Wenger moving him to play lower is because he cannot play well. 

And as usual, Wenger did his magic touch to Gibbs. Another player who shines after changing position. Anyway, we did poorly last season only because of there is a LOT of our main player get injured. And its the same for the last-last-season. And season before that. Its like a curse or something when all of the player getting injured for a very long period. 

With full strength, I believe Arsenal is the most complete squad in the world. Maybe we need to improve or looking for defensve midfielder. And I think that is the only weak part. Gallas is getting ready to get his ass off...so bye2 Gallas. We need another central defender too.ahahahaha

Go Go Gunnerz!!

Memancing...New Experience

Last saturday I went to some felda in Pahang, sending my friend who moved back to his kampung. For our help, my generous friend promised to bring us to go fishing at fishing pond in the village. 

I've never gone to fishing before, just once when me and friend went to Bagan Lalang for a camping and they lent me their equipment. I dont even know how to tie anything, totally leave it to them as they were the one who really insist me to join.haha~ 

Anyway, back to fishing at pond. Few days earlier, me and one of my friend went to fishing shop, to buy my first reel. I'm looking for just fine for me, so I took the one with rm18 price tag. hehhe~

As for machine, I took the one bundled there...I asked the shopkeeper to select me a good one for beginner and he give me one of those with rm35 price. Anyway, I spend around rm80 for whole thing. The shopkeeper also teach me how to use the machine as I never own one and not familiar with anything about fishing.

So, that saturday, 3pm we went to the fishing pont. There is already few villagers, I assume they were regular as they quite know each other). After 15min I throw my bait, my fish rod already snapped. I dont know how to react as the fish is quite a pull. Seeing me getting blur with the fish rod, my friend take over. And we manage to land a Rohu fish, around 2kg in weight.

Then, after half hour, my fish rod snapped again. I was excited since I miss the action for the first one. I quickly grab my rod. As I started turning the wheel, it wont turn because the load is very heavy. Cant even pull 1cm. Even the fish rod was bend like hell (my rod is only for 5kg load). After holding for few minutes, the fish manage to escape. Huhu..and I really regreted that moment. If only I spend bit more money to buy better rod, if only I know how to play with the fish...arghh. My friend says it probably a Patin, 5-6kilos. And thats quite a big catch.

After another hour, My fish rod snapped again. Yes!!! This time, after I watch how the others who succesfully land their fish, i try how I look at it and the way I understand it...after a few minutes, I landed another Rohu. It was larger than the first one. Cool!!! Its nice when I have landed the fish. After long time of waiting, and we get the result it is really nice.

My other 2 friends has yet get their rod snapped and they are quite frustated as I was only a beginner. After a while they got theirs but maybe because the fish is too big, it got away.

End up in the evening I was the only one going back with something. Hehhe~ 

During our way going back home, we chatted about whole funny stuff happened when fishing and their frustation towards me. Haha...what can I say. It is beginners luck :p

Anyway, its a nice experience. Near my house is Sungai Langat and I always see people fishing there. There is even one morning when I saw this one guy caught a very huge fish, maybe around 8-10kilos from the size from the sungai. Even though Sg Langat quite brownish in color because its in the city, I never thought there is big fish there.

Maybe will spend my weekend there relaxing while fishing in the future. New hobby perhaps, Hehehe~

me and my catch

High beam to skyline...cheers!!

Yesterday when i got back from work, i was in hurry since i was called back that evening. Just wanted to get home early...

Then have this stupid fella driving skyline r34 at slow speed. Right lane btw!! So i just give him high beam...ahahahahahahahahahaha

I feel funny because i was driving proton saga which is using one of the poorest performance engine in market yet I was giving high beam to a Skyline GTR!!! That fella just plain stupid, saving on fuel I guess...he quickly give way in scared manner (can see he changed lane like giving way for ambulance etc)...so i just passed that fella. Being thankful for him quickly changing his lane knowing he is driving slow.

He should just keep his car under the hood if want to drive that slow. Drive a Viva instead. No need expensive car. That will just disgrace the car reputation...haihh...Malaysian driver sucks (including me...ahahahaha...one crazy driver on road bebeh - average speed of 100kmph)
