Fake football accident training camp

forget about work for a while

If you are reading this blog while at work, at school, (actually anywhere else other than outside under a tree with your N82), then you need to relax for a while.

Come back later and look at these pictures again.

Pictures of My New Baby

Ooo sweet mama~mia!

As I’ve promised myself, I’ve finally given myself “The Treat” for giving myself a glaring future..

Behold.. my new baby!

The Nokia N82.

This is not a review. If you want a 8 page review from GSM Arena please go read it :: HERE ::

 

OK, so this phone costs 2 arms, a leg and 3 liters of fresh blood. And I had to walk all over KL and still not be able to find a shop that has it in stock. Still, I managed to get a unit from a friend I knew who had to pre-order me a unit from Johor.

No it’s not a black market unit, called up Zitron for ID confirmation before swiping my card.

But the fact that this phone represents my long term phone investment for the next 6-7 years means the ka-ching I plop down at the counter must worth it. Let me explain some of the OoO so C00L features.

• Accelerometer + orientation meter + gravity sensor + whatever-they-callit-meter
  • Nice feature that controls how the screen orientates itself. You can go landscape, portrait ala iPhone style and together with the GPS (more later) you can use your phone like a freaking compass with a rotating needle.
  • There’s also this game where you need to balance and move a ball from one end of a platform to the other end without dropping it off (duh!) using ONYL the orientation of the phone itself! Look ma! No buttons!
• GPS
  • A GPS! Can you believe I’ve got a GPS inside the N82?! I’m still all over it. I’ve got Nokia Maps, Google Maps, whatever maps running on it and it can show me where I am, where to go, what to see and how to get home in time for dinner!
  • I can also use the GPS to get info on how fast I’m travelling on my BMX, my altitude, my direction as well as point me to the next nearest food court for lunch.
  • Not to mention if ever I get stuck on The Island aka Lost, I’ve got the OoO so C00L coordinates to read out and impress the monkeys on the island.
• 5MP Camera + Carl Zeiss Tessar 2.8/5.6 lens + Xenon Flash + Auto Focus + Best Shot
  • This is unbelievably C00L when at parties. I can tell my friends that I’ve got a freaking HID headlight on my phone. Although not actually true, but hey, it’s still a xenon flash unit ok?
  • This camera can beat the shit out of the latest Sony Ericsson K850. Go read the review above and check out the screenshots for yourself. Not to mention it can also beat Samsung, Motorola and even my DSC-V1 in terms of portability. Take that!
• 3.5mm headphone jack
  • I count this as a factor in choosing this phone. So instead of using a retard-talking-to-self looking bluetooth wireless set I can hook up a pair of Shure headphones to the N82.
• Cool games
  • This phone has a freak3D graphics accelerator inside. Nuff said.
• GeoTagging
  • Together with the GPS (which is a big deal), you can take a photo and the N82 will tag them with coordinates and have them auto uploaded to Flickr with a world map to show everyone where you are.
• Connectivity
  • Erm.. what else do you want? Bluetooth, MMS, GPRS, EDGE, Qual-Band, HSDPA 3.5G, WIFI!!
• Misc Stuff
  • Together with wifi, I’ve got opera mini, flash player, bundled charger + car charger, bundled handsfree cum stereo headphones, bundled TV out cables, bundled USB cables, everything!

So after all the drooling you now know why I MUST get this phone for keeps. Partly because my job will benefit from the GPS and I can now get home for dinner instead of being lost in Bangi. Then by pairing this phone with my computer, I can use the phone to connect to the interweb no matter if my clients have an internet connection or not. Of course, the WIFI comes in handy when I need to blog while being stuck in Starbucks.

Oh ya, this post is written via the hardworking, dedicated and selfless effort of my N82.

I’m still stuck in Starbucks.

Election and Paved Roads

Election is near and the road in front of my house is getting paved. Other than that, the ‘fever’ seems to have pass my little town this time around. Or just maybe they are still looking for a warehouse to deploy their battle MCV and drape their cellulose sheets.

I am comparing it to the primaries election in America and can’t help but noticing that they need to look for donations and sponsors while the parties here seems to have unlimited funding for their war effort.

So my big question is “How do political parties earn their $$”?

Seeing that everyone seems to have their own job and some even their own companies, it doesn’t make sense to pour their money in the election effort nor being fair to their own company. So where do they get their ka-ching?

And then someone just told me, that in a perfect democracy, everyone should be an independent and do away with all political parties altogether. Since what we are doing right now is just to elect a representative from the better of 2 parties. That doesn’t mean that both of them are good enough or cared enough to do their job. It could be as simple as receiving a call from HQ saying they must contest in a particular area.

I have never voted before and this irked some people, friends, strangers alike. It’s the same with Star Wars. Either you hate it or you love it and you show it by voting. There is no gray area by not voting –they say lah.

Some say vote for the good guys because they cared. Great, they needed assurance on what they do is right, even if they don’t ask me for my decisions.

Some say vote for the bad guys because the good guys are too big. What logic. Let’s plant some weeds because I’m actually lazy to trim the tree branch.

Other people like me don’t go and vote (this year) because I still couldn’t make up my mind on when the politicians are going to make up their mind. They can promise everything under the sun for the sky and all the seas for the earth and you still won’t get a single thing a year later. So until they make up their mind on when I’ll be receiving those perks, I’ll take my sweet time.

It’s time to walk the talk and start walking!
