First, Happy New Year to everyone and wish you all the best for 2009...

Second, just now I went to Marina Bay to join the countdown party and watch the fireworks with my classmates. But our main purpose is to shoot the fireworks. Shooting fireworks is not as easy as what were we expecting but honestly, it was a very good experience to me. Thanks to the auntie who is used to be photographer. She gave us some tips and concept to get a better shot for fireworks.

But unfortunately, I didn't manage shoot the fireworks nicely.





Third, last year was happened a lot of matter like SiChuan Earthquake, Economy Tsunami, Beijing Olympic, Election of Malaysia, USA and Taiwan and the Poisoned Baby Milk Powder. It covered the whole world and it affects everyone especially the Economy Tsunami. Hope it can get better in 2009 although it is not quite possible but miracle always can be happened once you trust it, isn't it?

Fourth, about myself, nothing much changed during 2008. I started blogging on April, studies still going smoothly, my family bought a new car, went to KL twice with my friends, watched at most movies in this year, interned to MediaCorp, started to use Macintosh OS and upgraded my Tiger into Leopard, did a recording session for my school project, got a DSLR from school for using for my photography module..... so and so.... oh ya, one more, I got my first pair of glass because my astigmatism was getting worse....

Lastly, for the 2009, I hope that everyone can be the best for their life and I can be the best for mine, the world can get better and better, my friend can get into University in Singapore, my another friend can get rid of his hopeless roommate as soon as possible and most important is, I can found someone to accompany me and be the part of my life....

Thanks to all my friends who keep supporting me last year and I will be better and work harder in 2009. Gambateh....

After we came back fro Genting, I was just simply walk around in KL accompany by EC, Tracy, Ryan and Renise. Thanks for spending their time with me to show me around the KL.

We went to Mid-Valley Megamall, Berjaya Time Square, Pavilion and Low Yat. We also watched a few movies which are showed from previous posts. My legs were almost break off and really feel very tired about these few days. So I think same for my friends. Thanks once again.

I bought some stuffs those I didn't manage to buy it in somewhere else.

yeah, Wall E, only for RM5... cheap cheap....



The hot wheel new series of car collection, The Audi R8.



This is what I bought from the latest gundam mini model kit collection, H.G.C.O.R.E EX plus series. I can't found this in Singapore so i decided to buy one. It really give me a very good quality of product. All the details are much more better than GFlex 00 Series. This Kyrios also come with its external booster.

This H.G.C.O.R.E. (High Grade Collectionfigure of Real Entertainment) EX Plus lineup of Gundam 00 stars includes Gundam Exia, Gundam Kyrios, Gundam Dynames, Gundam Virtue, Tieren High Mobility Type, and pearl color versions of Gundam Exia, Gundam Kyrios, Gundam Dynames, and Gundam Virtue, for a total of nine possible types to trade and collect. Gundam Dynames comes with "Joint Change" parts with optional joints to provide articulation to its left elbow and right knee. Each figure comes with a custom display base that allows up to four figures to connect on a single base. Sold by the randomly packed box of 12.

Beside these all stuff I bought, I also bought some necklaces and earrings for my mum and my sister.

Overall about this KL trip, I can experience the difference between KL with Singapore exspecially for the Transport system. I also quite a long never go to Genting and I took this opportunity to there to enjoy and relax myself with my friends. Beside this, I can manage to have the chance to meet with our Ladyboss, Renise. I hope that both of them, EC and Tracy, Ryan and Renise can always be happy like the moment we were together. Good Luck to them for their new study semester and take care everyone. I will go to KL again on this end of the year, mid of the December, with Joo and Jane, properly...

KL trip continues (3rd and 4th day)...

Like I said, I went to Genting with my friends, those are EC, Tracy, Boss(Ryan) and Ladyboss(Renise). After we had our breakfast at OldTown, we took bus to Titiwangsa LRT station and took train to Gombak to buy the Go Genting Express bus ticket. Our bus started on 12.30pm and we reached Genting skyway around 1.30pm then we switched our transport to the fastest cable car and the longest distance of cable car in South East Asia, Genting Skyway. It just spent around 10 mins for us to get to our destination, Genting Highland which is around 3.4km away from the skyway station. It's really fast seriously and I was quite scared because it is freaking HIGH.... But fortunately the thick mists and the cool winds outside was let me feel much more comfortable...

Because when we were there is on the normal season so the crowd wasn't really too big and we just spent around 15 mins for the queue.






As you can see, along the way the mist was become thicker and thicker and the wind out there also become very cold...

After 10mins journey of the cable car, we finally reached Genting Hotel.

So after we reached Genting, the very first thing we did is book a room for us to stay one night. We manage to book a room in First World Hotel and this is my very first time to do walk-in booking. RM130 for one night of a deluxe room. Its can be consider quite cheap deal because we had 5 person at the moment. RM26 pax....

During the waiting time for check in, we went for settle our lunch first. The food's price in Genting is almost twice or maybe can go up to 3 times of our normal price. So we try our best to look for the cheapest deal. Well, we found a food court located in 2B floor of First World Hotel.


The Teppan Yee Mee cost me around RM 8.80 and it tastes nice...

After the lunch session, we went to outside to enjoy the very cold weather and thick mists... I won't forget to introduce a very nice chestnut stall to my friends. You can imagine when you are enjoying the hot chestnut at outside with a very cold weather... It feels really warm the feeling is just nice. You want to know how thick for the mists is? We only can see the thing about few metres away. Just look at the picture...

Finally, I can manage to take a clear view of the Highland Hotel....

Our friends, EC's bag almost been frozen out there due to the very cold weather outside...

We checked in our room around 5pm. After we do the check in, all of us were resting inside the room and enjoy the show that featuring by EC and Tracy. I was the innocent there but unfirtunately, I was invovled some of the part of show... We all just playing inside the room.

Until almost 7pm, i went out the room first to find a good place to have our dinner. Before that I took a pretty nice picture at FW Hotel.


I suggested them to enjoy our dinner at a italian restaurant. They are selling some pretty nice pizzas and we all really enjoyed our dinner.


After our dinner, we went to outside again and we just sat down in front of Genting Hotel to chat with each other and playing around....

Genting, City of Entertainment....

Quite a nice view....

Around 9.30pm, we went back to the First World Hotel and we decided to play in indoor theme park. We played Europe Express(the only roller coaster in indoor theme park), Bumper car and 4D cinema. The Europe Express was modified and it is not as exciting as previous version but we still quite enjoyed of it. The 4D cinema wasn't good because of its poor quality, I feel abit of giddy. About the Bumper car, this is my worst experience I ever had before but is the most enjoyable experience. I was been surrounded by they all and it caused me can't move down there... It is a 1 vs 4 battle, so unfair...

We slept around 3pm and we need to wake up early because Ryan and Renise need to rush for the noon class. Before we set up, we were having our breakfast at Downstair of Genting Skyway station. The food there is average but the price can be consider quite cheap around the place.

The purpose to go there is to enjoy the very cold weather and we really enjoyed it. And due to now is the period of the end of year, the weather there is cooler and added up abit of rain... Genting Highland, beside entertainment, it is a really good place to relax yourself. Just let the wind blow onto your face... I hope I can be back to there again... either with my family or with my friends... or maybe with my partner?? who knows...

Since I was started to look for the external harddisk enclosure quite a long time ago, so I decided to the COMEX 2008 at Suntec City Mall, start from 28th to 31st August.

This time, according to the organizer, more than 800 company take part of this IT fair and they said this is the biggest ever IT fair in Singapore so far. Seriously I really found a lot of cheap deals there but i have no money inside my pocket so I just can let the chance to walk away from my hand. Well, we must be a smart consumer, Buy the thing that you really need.

I took some pictures there and here you go:

Panasonic booth, Viera series of LCD panel, it is not refer to the famous france soccer player....

Canon booth... want to try out EOS? Don't really know is it possible to have a properly try out session there... cameras and printers are available at promotion price...

Here come one of our best anti virus solution, NOD32, from www.cyberlink.com. This is much more better than norton and McAfee. Recommended by MLCS, which is me...

Music lover or DJ will know about this brand... Audio Technica. I was tried out their 700 bucks closed-dynamic speaker. The sound is really excellent but... 700 bucks... maybe can go for a quality home theater system?

Creative, as usual... a lot of people still supporting them... well, quite a good brand in audio...

Yup, this is it... GT5 on PS3 with longitech steering wheel set... I tried it out and only one word can explain what I feel on this.... SHIOK.... The graphic, The overall feel, The details, plus the steering wheel set... really stunnising and how real it can be... The PS3 is having their offer there... $599 plus need to purchase 2 games. $269 for steering wheel set. I will buy it if I can really afford that much... because after you buy a set of PS3, please prepare a Full HD ready LCD panel and a whole set of surround sound home theater system... otherwise everything will be wasted if you use it on a CRT TV?? Don make me laugh sir...

LG... life's good or lousy goods? I am not a LG user so I cant comment on it... but they also are having their offer there... feel free can drop by to have a look... just a look... all is about laptop...

Samsung... also have quite a huge booth there... PC, printer, LCD panel....

All Nikon camera also having their promotion there... including those DSLR series... D60-$888 if i not wrong... is it really cheap?

Dell also offer some of the deal on laptop that really worth to spend your money for it... well, I have no money so...

Lenovo booth has offer public to try out their F1 simulator... looked fun but really not easy to handle it... but that one really give a very good impression as real as you are completing with Alonso... the fellow was driving the car that he can never be drive it on road at Sepang circuit... the organizer said the Singapore circuit is not available yet....

Sharp Aquos... another good LCD brand beside Panasonic...

Feel hungry? Apple also available at the fair... the apple that cant be eaten... they also having their great sale there... want to try out Macbook Air?? If you want to buy it, please prepare an envolope just like what Apple's designer show us before... Great sale for ipod, Macbook and iMac.. I didn't see any Mac Pro there...


The biggest booth of this IT fair... SONY... they offer a lot of their products with a really cheap price... the latest MP4 player with 4GB memory just only available at $150... wanted to buy one but... must consider for which brand I should buy... sony is under one of my list... Road show is also prepared by sony to promote their latest product...

ToughBook... how tough can it be?? where is monkey??

Panasonic home theater projector... nw i only understand why people still want to use projector to watch movie... We can fully enjoy the show without worry about the response time of the panel... LCDs have this problem especially for bigger inch of LCD panel...

This is much more nicer and the feel also as good as the real F1 car if compare with the Lenovo set... We can feel the F1 fever is closing to all Singaporeans becasse the F1 night race is coming soon... Are you ready to give you best shot? Brought to you by Singtel and they are the only one company that available for iphone... you can try out the iphone there and make you decision rather buy it or not... If you are going to buy one, you need to sign up as singtel mobile user than can bring one back home...

Starhub also promote their packages about broadband, digital cable TV and Mobile phone service... but the crowd there just not as much as the crowd at Singtel booth there...

Back to the subject, I was said just now I wanted to buy a firewire external harddisk enclosure. I bought one but unfortunately it didn't work and cant work for what i was expecting. I was went back to change to another model, which is without firewire model but it equips with eSata but I don't know what is really use for and its benefit so just forget it and treat it as a normal enclosure. Quite dissapointed for my spend because it spend for nothing...

But it come with a pretty nice case and the case is built by aluminium and with advance shock absorber...





I also bought a low-end headphone for my experiment...

This is come from SonicGear which I feel it is not really a good quality headphone... the mid and high frequencies wasn't really there and later on I will try to disassemble and see where is my knowledge go so far about audio circuit design and see what can I do to give some improvement for this headphone.

Overall about this IT fair is quite huge and if you want to look for some good deal on IT stuff, this is the right place you should go and you really can't miss it.
