did some diy yesterday. went down to B2 and parked the car with the wheels full-locked to the right. took out the whole mudguard for the right wheel and yanked out the stupid resonator. so that had been the stupid piece of plastic that blocks the engine intake significantly.
decided not to the change the air filter to hurricane yet. want to use the stock one till dirty liao then change. must be more thrifty.
took this picture from teamchevysg. hope the owner don't mind my usage. it looked exactly the same as the crap I yanked out. hahahahaha.
then went to the boot to yank out the spare wheel. wah super uber heavy. really can't imagine the weight. 17 inch steel rim pumped till don't know what pressure. lol.
went for a test drive at night. there was a significant difference. not much difference when in D mode but when using steptronic gears, there really was an improvement. the pickup improved quite substantially, and the engine growl from 3k rpm onwards sounds sooooooo shiok! all this done for free and NO cost. can't imagine what happens if I were to change to light cam, hurricane filter and per extractor. hohohoho.
time to save money. haha.

before I started lessons I went with everybodys estimates and took about 26 lessons under my belt, adjacent to each other and squeezed into 5 weeks. now I am at the 3rd week, and I already freaking finished the super slow syllabus by cdc. they take their own sweet time to teach and I still undershoot my estimates by almost 50%. haiyaaaaa.
now I am still a full 3 weeks away from my test. I don't even know what to do in this time. lol. maybe singapore got too many people as it seems the whole month of july is booked to the last lesson. now I can't even hope to get one or two lessons in just before the test. so sian... I guess I have to hope that someone misread his appointment schedule and cancel some lessons in july. haha. evillll.

got to wake up early today for driving lesson. my fourth lesson so far. quite fun. drove to tampines for a pre-drive check lecture and then drove back.
got to say driving manual ain't easy. changing gear is damn fun but control of the clutch is quite irritating. can say that I would faint trying to drive manual in a traffic jam with the crazy control. my left leg will probably break before I get to my destination.
the lessons went well so far. driving was smooth but my pick-up still suck. stalled three times today as I still haven't got the clutch control well yet. instructor taught me the biting point control. all along I thought that I just need to release the clutch slowly, well at least for the last few lessons.
one bangla cycled against the traffic and I had to siam him. thurs night was worse as all the stupid taxis chiong out to do business. two incidents where they freaking tah brake in front of me for a customer. had to almost do ebrake. I know you have to get customer to make a living but must also keep safety in mind what. later people behind you langah into you how? taxi gone rice bowl also break. anyways instructor also cursed the driver lol.
also realised many of the motorists on the road really like to overtake. eh I drive at 60 on the left lane leh. like that also want to overtake? chou jidan. many of singaporean drivers I met are quite inconsiderate. I swear I will not become like them when I get my license. must be singapore most angelic driver. haha.
so far I learned all the basics for now. instrutor said I am doing quite okay. yay. hope I am able to chiong all the lessons in time for the test.
to off topic I pissed off my father today. he scolded me for keeping so many hamsters. =( but hamsters are like my babies.....

it's been so long since I last posted. hmm time flies I guess. nothing much happened. still can't really do anything I want, but I am improving.
the counsellor gave me some homework to do. yeah. it's been extremely hard to do but I am trying. hope to see it go well. oh well. I guess life is never ever smooth and there always will be setbacks and this is probably one of them, albeit still ongoing, but I believe it will be ending soon. hey, there will always be an up after a down right? like property market and stocks.
okay. never much happened. just polishing up my photography skills, playing games, such etc. still can't cycle outside so i relied on the gym downstairs. run a bit, then do all the stupid strength activities. best part is that my place have many chio bu go gym run so it's an eye-opener everytime. haha.
sold my iphone and got a nokia e72. it's not a downgrade. it's more like an upgrade. 3G connection is much more stable. email is too good to be true. physical keyboard. imba camera. well at least better than iphone. ABILITY TO DOWNLOAD FILES. iphone CAN NEVER DO THAT. I can download *ahem* anytime I WANT. STEVE JOBS YOU BETTER WAKE UP YOUR IDEA. and it can MULTITASK TOO. now... all I can say is I earned lots from selling the iphone which was good. heng ah.
ah. seems like I will type a lot if I update too slow. my parents had been very caring all this while. very appreciative of them. my father is an amazing figure. soooo many problems, and still able to take it all up and put it down. really hope to learn from him, and follow in his footsteps. before this incident of mine, I never knew my father. so I am glad to say that although this incident had demolished my friendships, it had opened a side of my father that I'd never seen and experience, the fatherly figure he was. I really wish to bear him a grandchild soon in gratitude and be an amazing father like him.
unfortunately, I am unable to go out with my friends. so if you actually stumble across my blog, please know that I am very sorry and I will immediately contact you guys when I am free from the chaining, that is, if you still see me as a friend.
oh well. to end it off I shall say about my first driving lesson yesterday. the instructor was good, very comprehensive and intricate in his explanations, not that I already know since I passed both btt and ftt already. got to say the toyota vios pedals are horrible. so hard to control. compare to both my father car. much easier to control as the pedals are smoother. I was so nervous I might crash.

hai just checked cdc listing. seems like the earliest I can start lessons are on my birthday itself.... like wth. how am I gonna book the TP test when I pass ftt........ no comments......
my father convinced me to get a second hand car instead. which is quite viable actually when I thought about it.
if I get a new car, I can only afford an opc car. then everytime I go out must plan properly so I won't cross the on peak hours, if not must pay 20 dollars, or get fined 5000 dollars!!! @_@"". if I get an used car, I can afford a normal plate one, so I don't have to think or plan my schedule at all. which is actually much more relaxing. why didn't I thought of that?? oh well.
now all I got to do is to get my license first. bad thing is i got to wait very longgggg. I booked FTT the other day, and the counter girl gave me 12th may! oh god. that's like 3 months from now. so now I got tooooo much time to complete my practical lessons. guess I got to take it slowly, and then by 12th may when I pass the lame test in 10 mins (hehe BTT was very easy too), I shall run to the counter and hurry up book my TP test. hope I don't have to wait another two three months from 12th may.
oh god pleaseeeeeeeeee.
thanks god. lol.

have just restarting my training for track events today.
did sprint drills and sprint starts.
surprising I feel faster than before even though I switched over exclusively to cycling more than a year ago. My guess is that cycling mostly involves leg strength, speed and stamina so it cross-over'ed to t&f.
I did much research and found that the plyometrics and weight training is very similar to both sports. so in this sense I am very lucky as my favorite sports crosses over in training aspects, duration and intensity.
I look forward to joining the track and field team in NTU. \

I just bought this book from popular today. author is jasmine low. she published it to express her emotions and thoughts through the book. when I read it, I felt like I was reading through my own diary. when I think back, mnay of her thoughts were identical to mine, even more so her actions and feelings. the book really made me think back yet for the upteem time of my past and what had already happened.
its just so amazing that there's another person out there that share almost similar thoughts and feelings with me. hai... and that's why I decided that I shall keep a personal written journal from now on where I will write whenever I feel like I need to. ah.......

she's a very patient person. listen very good. like me a listener. she share with me how to solve my problems and all. very encouraging. so now I hope my problem finally gets solved so I can properly proceed on with life.
serious I really want to cycle again. want to go learn driving and get a budget car. want to go out with friends. want to FREAKING watch movies!!! -.-

she brought a nsf along with her. her assistant. he was very patient also. listening. I think all those people in the psychological industry all very good listeners. maybe I can apply.
anyways after visiting the doctor for meds refresh. i went to funan to shop around for the macro lens I been hunting for. finally got it at the shop on the 5th level. price was good. about 15% cheaper than sony rrp price. good stuff. wanted to get the wireless flash but I don't want to break my bank so I decided to wait till I get my red packet money. xDDDD. *laughs at a corner*
and so yes I acquired a new hobby. photography. I am just starting out and hope to achieve better pictures along the way.
goodness now I got too many hobbies. last time was games and radio control helicopter and building my own computer. then go jc liao become cycling and track and badminton. now I acquire photography and a bit of swimming. wah I don't know how balance my time if I start working full time.

yes I am going to type my stupid review here for fun and at this kind of time.
actually iphone review very short lah.
I personally can't find much of any faults with the iphone. good responsive screen, great UI, sh*t loads of apps(that I don't use...), ocbc online banking app! wah damn important for me, inbuilt ipod, good web browser.
actually the only fault I find is that the screen keyboard sucks like.... diao. so hard to type that I find myself using the backspace a lot.
so far I surfed the net like crazy on the phone. web browsing feels very natural. I credit apple for this bah. nokia couldn't make it, LG is at the bottom with their apps.
now on to the camera.
I just got the sony a330. an entry level but still good dSLR. actually I should not write review yet as I still suck at photography but I can summarise my present feelings in one sentence.
take photos f***ing shiok ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lalalalala.!!!!!!!
sorry for the vulgarity but I can't think of a heavier word.
whew....
I shall flood my photolog liao.

and then i rushed all the way to tampines to adopt kopi and milo! two cute bui bui normal winter whites. they are actually sisters. bui bui! actually I think I am going to have huge difficulty differientiating my hamsters now... had wanted to just adopt another robo at first. xD

the owner finally contacted me and we agreed on the adoption.
I am getting two female NWWs! the owner told me that they are very familiar with each other and are siblings.
I am quite convinced that I can handle two hamsters living in one cage. It will teach me much more about hamster behaviourals. maybe probably next thing down the line I will start to handle hamster pregnacies. but that will only happen when I am much more experienced bah.
anyways today I went to sell my hifi. wah I can only say I think I built more muscles in my arm. carried the hifi from home to toa payoh, then to ang mo kio and then back to toa payoh due to misunderstanding. goodness. my arms want to piak already....
and I went to see cameras at best denki too. seems like the cheapest dSLR is still the canon EOS1000D. wah 899 leh. boomz..... cannot afford!!!! guess I can only dream of freezing water bah...
and surprisingly today my old classmate saw me running away from my wedding. okay no lah I ran home to get the remote for the hifi set I selling. forget to bring leh. then I got to wait for the shuttle bus for 35mins and another 35mins at city square. hai.......
finally at the time of this writing muah chee is suddenly very very and very (times 100) active today! keep running on the wheel.... I suppose it shouldn't be anything worrying. I hope it's just her puberty period bah...
anyways I gotten to the point that she will come onto my palm when I call her name, even if I didn't offer treats. happy! and she doesn't bite me at all now unless I dip my fingers in cheese. okay... not cheese. lol. later she laugh till pengz...

and surprisingly today my old classmate saw me running away from my wedding. okay no lah I ran home to get the remote for the hifi set I selling. forget to bring leh. then I got to wait for the shuttle bus for 35mins and another 35mins at city square. hai.......
finally at the time of this writing muah chee is suddenly very very and very (times 100) active today! keep running on the wheel.... I suppose it shouldn't be anything worrying. I hope it's just her puberty period bah...
anyways I gotten to the point that she will come onto my palm when I call her name, even if I didn't offer treats. happy! and she doesn't bite me at all now unless I dip my fingers in cheese. okay... not cheese. lol. later she laugh till pengz...

so today I went again to the plc opposite my house to buy a standing wheel for ah mumu. the sales girl there asked why I seem to appear everyday and I explained. must say I starting to get attracted to her @_@. but no misunderstanding as the purpose of going plc is for my hamsters.
anyways. a hamster owner contacted me just now. finally managed to get a owner to contact me. been searcing for adoption chances for a week already. I already prepared the cage soooo well. =D. so happy! the third addition to my family!.

ah. finally. I got my teeth done at the quan ming dental center across my house. now my teeth is slightly nicer looking than before. good to say, my stained teeth are gone. finally got rid of the stains my classmates were criticising last time.
the dentist was *ahem*.... very very pretty.. was very mesmerised by her but of course, its just a look and see and buh byeeee. but still her face is very very pretty. ah!!!!!!!
anyways she said I got a astounding 9 lobangs on my upper teeth, 5 bigger ones and 4 minor ones. she also said I got a few really minor ones on my lower teeth. very weird. because I spend at least 5 mins brushing my stupid teeth every night. she said because I didn't floss, so I "oh.................", and then she demostrated me how to floss. now must spend at least 10 mins brushing.... boomz.
and so... besides that. I bought a new keyboard for myself! and a new mouse of course. well... actually everything I buy is for myself... *cries lonelily..* at least I did buy some birthday presents before...
the sidewinder x6. has adjustable macro keys (loads of them in fact), brightness controller, media buttons, profile switcher, quick start buttons and detachable numboard. goodness actually I can't believe this keyboard only costs 99 dollars with this amount of crazy features. and yes sir I do use every single feature. good for WOW players like me.
and this mouse. powerlogic gmx5. this brand from sonicgear you know... the brand that copies other brands. but I still bought it. why? cheap like **** (sorry I couldn't resist the vulgarity). 26.90 for 2000dpi sensor, 4-switch dpi changer and 5 buttons.
well. although sonicgear is a photocopier brand. I must say that it produces imitaions quite well. and it does have some of its designs which surprisingly won some local awards. not bad.
and finally. I am able to overhaul my hamster cages soon. decided to put them in clear acrylic cages. better lah. because can monitor them easily as compared to the present not so transperant cages. gonna sell the cages at a local hamster forum. hope everything goes well enough.
well that's it for now I guess.
signing out.
P.S. and yes I really want to cycle again! for god sakes please let everything be solved soon. may guanyin niang niang bless me.

sleep late yet again. oh wells. who cares.
bought a cheapo digital camera two days ago. Olympus Fe-4000. cheap like diao. at least when compared to higher ends ones. and of course the fexpensive dSLRs. can drool when I played with a few at the city square best denki outlet. and of course, I started a photolog as well.
so.... new events are a-many. rescued a hamster from PLC opposite my house yesterday. she had a blood clot on her right cheek, probably caused by fighting. and her body size is quite small... so I couldn't bear to see her suffer anymore and bought it from the store. caused me an extounding 18 singapore dollars. yes singapore and not us dollars. got to say... sorry sghamsters, when I am ready for a third hamster I might adopt.
some pictures of my beloved second hamster. Muah Chee. roughly 5 weeks old as of now. at least that's what the staff at PLC told me. pearl winter white. female! =D
and today, my second uncle decided to come over for a swim. my mothers side second brother. so he brought over his family, and my mother and sister swam with them. I decided not to swim because I am still aching from intensive leg training yesterday. and I wanted to take pictures!
everybardy sho heypi ahhhhhh...!!
and I brought my hamster down too for a "swim". of course I didn't put her into the water. lol.
night came fast and I video-ed myself playing wii sports resort in front of my snoring father. lol.
I bowled a horrible 144.
this reflex game damn fun lahhhh.
played against a level 1000+++++ opponent. still easy like diao.
and so thats all for now. got to start tidying up the area around my computer. need to fix some LED fans to the computer chassis soon. maybe i'll start upping some pictures as well.
I wonder when I can start cycling again....... damn it!! *starts hurling vulgarities at no one*

and one night at the shopping center opposite my house, I decided to force my sister to take a film of me playing my favorite arcade game. battle gear 4 on the last stage with subaru wrx sti 2006 on 6-speed manual clutching. hehe.
don't play play okay. this game got clutch one hor. not like wangan midnight 3. for noobs one that game. 70 degree turns at 200++ kmh?? even F1 drivers don't try at that kind of speed. and shifting with no clutch?? lame.
pardon my hair. makes me look stupid but can't help it when I didn't wash my hair for two consecutive gym sessions.

and so we went to the alpine motors chevrolet showroom today. and my father and I kind of decided on the cruze. so much for the SX4. xD. and why the hell livejournal got no emoticons...
anyways. the car is quite nice. the door got a heavy and solid feel to it. slams shut nicely and with a "mercedez/audi/bmw" sound, those heavyweighted kind of sound lah. not like when I slam the toyota vios door. cmi till cannot cmi. the door sounds like it's made of paper mache..... and the exterior is very nice. and the ss version put a faux dual exhaust diffuser under the boot. so now everyone thinks that the car has two exhuast but in actual fact it only has one. cheers!
all in all the exterior is one word, chio.
the boot space is quite normal lah. SX4's one is bigger lor. but still big enough for my bikes I guess. the rear seats can fold down 60/40 too. so no problems on storage space there. the rear seats legroom also not bad leh. my legs so long also never kena the front seat. and surprisingly the width also quite the wide. good for both my parents! they quite fat *laughs quietly in a corner*.
driver's seat is pretty normal. steering is telescopic and the cluster damn chio. blue backlit with red indicators. how chio can that get. and the cd player has a mono screen to do control, and I can connect ipods to it as well. epic shiok. it even has a custom cup holder. good for my morning coffee. hehe. passenger side seat is wide as well. good for my stupid sister's butt. lol. her butt damn fat leh, squeeze also she not pain one. overall quite chio and comfortable.
I am getting the manual version. found out that the gear shifting is very the smooth. very smooth. clutch is quite springy.
i guess got to give up on suzuki then.

been watching a lot of star trek these days. the new star trek movie instigated me to search for the tv series to watch and i choose the most recent one. star trek enterprise.
got to admit. science fiction films are the best. seriously keeps you onto the seat the whole time.
anyways. my father recently decided to concentrate on the suzuki swift. i was considering the subaru impreza. he says its too powerful for a p-plater. year right. considering the model i was looking at consist of a 1.5 litre engine. oh wells. and he told me he saw a very nice looking mazda. the mazda 2. a hatchback. he seems adamant on hatchbacks. sedan seems to be too big. it doesn't matter though. i only need a point a-b vehicle. not a performance one. hehe.

so.. well ive been playing wow arduently. so yesterday i was at level 38 and decided to chiong to level 40 so i can get my epic mount.
xi, xi, xi, xi and xi. lol.
anways, i'd been in a long discussion with my father, and we decided on two cars. the volkswagen polo, or the suzuki swift sports. although i really like the subaru impreza but my father said that its not good for a p-plate to start off with a 2.0 litre engine car. oh well. lets just hope the decreasing coe quota wont push coe above 20k next year. pray hard.

I slept late these few days. couldn't really sleep properly. while listening to music last night, i suddenly had this inspiration to do a video of my ex-jc class. so i spent 2 hours listening to my whole music collection to see which music can be used inside the video. came up with a few bands. namely, 30 seconds to mars, our lady peace, hinder, etc. as of now, i haven't start on the video yet but i had already formed a blueprint in my mind already.
all i got to do next is to plan out the video on paper first, then use my macbook to formulate the video. i believe i will probably take a long time to get this video done as i do not want it to be a slip slop product.
well hopefully at the end of the journey, my ex-classmates will have a beautiful video waiting to be viewed. unfortunately, i don't think i can represent the whole class so the video might not be good for everyone.
talking about other stuff, i had decided to make the road surrounding the singapore stadium to be my cycling training route. decided to throw away the mount rosie-dunearn road route. too many cars already, and i past by the cjc canteen on every lap i do. kind of embarassing if a teacher happens to recognise me. but if i am going to do hill climbing work i will still go back to this route.

as i posted earlier. been having too much time to myself. i spent much of the time thinking back on my own life. the life that was mine, yet it felt so distant from my thoughts, the things i have done, the things that happened. i believe many people call this soul searching. i feel so sad as i look back to my own journal.
recently, i did a lot of research on my horoscope. seems like its fact that geminis experience dual personalities, and spend a lot of time thinking to themselves. i feel that its so true. find my own mood and thoughts can change so quickly on the dime many times. and i think so much to myself that i find myself on the border of insanity. i can't stop thinking, my life, everything that happens around me, everything that happened before, the future, the people i know, the paranormal, my own dreams, the books i just read. so many things, that i get headaches. its frustrating that i can't control this thinking. i will just drift off in my thoughts automatically.
and weirdly, i remember every single dream i had. its weird, because i read that most people forget what they were dreaming about when they wake up. yet for me, i can remember what i dreamt, fall asleep again to again experience another dream, and wake up remembering every signle detail of my dreams.
but it feels so good to dream. it feels euphoric. i can do things in my dreams that i don't ever dare to do in real life. i can explore, discover.
its 230am now, and its starting to rain. i heard voices from the window, went to take a look, and saw two girls in their pajamas running along the length of the swimming pool towards the clubhouse. wonder what were they doing at the pool this late.
back to topic. i started to like the night more and more. i am getting addicted to the dark, and i really hate daytime. i hate it that its so bright, so engulfing. i really hope that nighttime will be forever. of course thats not going to happen. but it will happen in my dreams.
oh well. my life is a pity. it always have been.

Here I am sitting at the lobby of the clubhouse beside my block, at 1.42am on the 5th of October 2009, reading dan brown’s deception point on my Lenovo laptop. Why am I so specific on the details?
Because when I felt my neck aching from the reading, I looked up and saw the full moon in its full glory. Bright, beautiful and full. It’s an amazing sight. Whats more amazing is that I am sitting at the exact location where I can see the sky through the glass roof, and muse upon the beauty of the moon. Its all destiny.
This view really made my day.

But. I recently got into this community, called sgclub. The people there are great although I do not know anyone there personally. Amazing people, amazing conversations. It pretty much kept me afloat nowadays. Got the bronze membership two days ago. Although I don’t respect rank, I must say I did felt something when I got the “rank”. I felt good. XDDD.
Anyways, I attended this mid-autumn festival held for the residents here. As I expected there wasn’t that many people that came down. But in the end my parents made a few friends there, and my father signed this petition to overthrow the current management. I don’t know much but I kind of agree that the residence could use some upgrades. Like a freaking basketball court??? Hey we boast a bowling alley here. Wow! But guess what? We don’t have basketball court at all! And they build that lame park just beside the residence. Like huh? The park soooooo small! Cant they use the space to expand the residence common area?
And the sys sec here seems to be quite lenient in letting strangers walk in. My friends came the other day and they simply walked in.
And, dan brown’s book came out. I read finish liao. Got to say, dan brown is one of those rare authors that simply succeed in making you not able to stop reading the book until you finish it in one go.
First it was davinci code. Then it was angels and demons. Then came digital fortress. Read all three at one go. Cant wait for his next installment.

finally bought the two items that will turn my bike into a time trial bike. okay not 100% time trial since the frame is geometrically road but hey who cares right?
got the giro advantage 2, and the t2+ cobra aerobar.
i am not expecting myself to suddenly cycle as fast as lance armstrong after getting these two items. but i expect myself to improve in a faster rate. guess i got to use the changi coastal road more often now.
cost me quite a bomb these two. but. hey cycling equipment were never cheap. cheap ones might get you in an accident and loss of your life. so wth i rather buy expensive stuff.
however, i wanted to really convert my whole bike into a time trial beast. the only problem is the frame. if i get a new one, it will probably send me to africa and left there to starve to death. and so. the only way i can think of is either save up slowly and getting a ARGON E113 in the end, or just heck care the frame and go for change of basebar. bet every cyclist out there will laugh at me. "whats that boy doing with a road frame and a tribar? he looks dumb."
oh well. i guess for now i just got to not to give a damn about anything and just continue training.

wasnt able to cycle long distances for this period. got to say that this is indeed a bad time for me. its been a long time since i did changi coastal road.
however i managed to squeeze in many hill climbing exercises on the mount rosie route. came up with an idea, which is to sprint the road leading to cjc and up the small part of the expressway. tried it two days ago and managed to hit a max speed of 48.7kmh. probably a shitty speed, i bet sprinters are able to hit much higher. but it was hard considering the road aint that long and there was a substantial amount of traffic.
spent some time on google maps looking for new routes. i came up with one. looks like its freaking 10km long. so i gotta do at least 5 loops to hit about 50km. good thing is it has some uphill climbs. bad thing is it intersects two highway roads, so i have to be extra careful.
its pretty much a beautiful route. dont have to cycle all the way to changi coastal. but unfortunately i still cant use aerobar on a road like this. not a good idea. oh well.
equipment wise. i am gonna improve soon. will probably get lighter shoes for road. and get a time trial helmet. i might push in a profile design aerobar if i have the funds. for now i just got to train with my current equipment.
training aside. looks like the next competition i can join is just half a year away. gotta work hard. bad thing is the gym's aircon is very cold. got to find a way to tune it down. oh well. still got to hit those quads.

spent some time on google maps looking for new routes. i came up with one. looks like its freaking 10km long. so i gotta do at least 5 loops to hit about 50km. good thing is it has some uphill climbs. bad thing is it intersects two highway roads, so i have to be extra careful.
its pretty much a beautiful route. dont have to cycle all the way to changi coastal. but unfortunately i still cant use aerobar on a road like this. not a good idea. oh well.
equipment wise. i am gonna improve soon. will probably get lighter shoes for road. and get a time trial helmet. i might push in a profile design aerobar if i have the funds. for now i just got to train with my current equipment.
training aside. looks like the next competition i can join is just half a year away. gotta work hard. bad thing is the gym's aircon is very cold. got to find a way to tune it down. oh well. still got to hit those quads.

looks like the new ipods have arrived.
and just as many people have predicted, a price drop along with some upgrades.
i guess the biggest revision in the ipod lineup is the ipod nano.
now existing as the 5G, it has a video cam, FM radio, and pedometer. i guess the video cam rumor did come true. why they included it is weird. why put a cam in a player designed for music. why not put the effort into improving the lousy sound it possesses. but i guess the inclusion of the FM radio is amazing. for many years since the ipod debuted, they totally left this crucial feature out. now that its in the nano, i guess it will bump its popularity up even more, and the video cam sure going to be a hit with "zi lian" girls. expect youtube to be flooded with videos of them.
the ipod touch seems to have been left out this time. not much upgrades. maybe a faster processor and better hardware. yeah. thats it. oh the price went down by $30 too.
ipod classic is still..... the fat ipod with a fat hard drive. no change at all. well you cant expect any change from a hardened selling formula.
ipod shuffle. yeah. its still that little player with no screen. it has a voice recognition thingy now. although i find that feature quite no use. but of course thats just according to my usage.
well thats it. the "new" ipods. for so long that apple launched the ipod line. i dont know why they never thought of improving the sound quality of the players. why manufacture players with such...... indecent sound. i guess apple doesnt care about the audiophile minority.

been waking up very late for this period of time. for some reason. my brain seems to go on a hyperactive mode as well. been dreaming every single night. and its not just one dream. its several dreams every night. and i could remember every single dream after i woke up.
some of the dreams are weird. too weird in fact, that the actress gong li was inside one of my dreams. wtf. and some of the teachers in sji and cjc came into my dream also. worse still, i dreamt that my house was a skyscraper, with pool halls in the middle of the building.
when i recollect on the dreams i made, most are ridiculous but i felt high. dreaming really lets you do anything, in this enclosed world created by your head. so nice. lucky most of my dreams arent nightmares.
oh well. time to try out a new route i drew on the map.

recently watched the band of brothers series. amazing videography.
what striked me was not the action, the legs flying, or the excitement from watching all the violence happening. it was the emotions, and the psychological aspect of the show. if i am not wrong, everything that was shown did actually happen. and they actually tracked down the survivors of easy company to relate their thoughts.
war is something that should be prevented at all costs. no matter what. people dying. loss of close friends. sufference. fear. a life that will never be the same again after.
i feel lucky that i was not born in that period. really hope this world will be a better place.

found out that someone hacked my email account. either that or hotmail decided to kick me out. . so i decided to create a yahoo account instead. was quite shocked at yahoo's email services. way better than that i used last time. in the end. had to create a new MSN account, and also facebook too. actually i dont really know why i created a facebook account for considering i so seldom use it except to check for updates in the sports events. but oh well.
and it looks like i am permanently in NTU's material engineering course. and i am supposed to be joining 2011-2012 academic year. sounds fun. yeah two years from now that is.
i recently explored ntu website again. and looked at the graduate courses offered. i decided to try my best to get in and obtain either the MSc or PhD. seems like a long shot. hopefully, i can then join NIE for a teacher's course. i suppose getting a higher degree maybe too much for being just a teacher but i would really like to experience the whole coursework and research. maybe open my eyes more to the world so that i can spread knowledge well when i work as a teacher.
ah. MSE. here i come.

hai i am so damn bored at home i guess i just do a review for a player i just bought to replace my more than a year old ipod touch. the ipod havent spoil yet, but since it was more than a year old, the warranty has expired, which gave me more than enough reason to sell the oldpod before it dies out on me.
well, so i went to best denki to get the new sony nwz-x1050. its one of the more refined players introduced by sony. its price point is very close to that of the 2nd gen ipod touch, which was not suprising since this player also sports a capacitative touchscreen. it is pretty much an ipod touch except it doesnt support apps, has noise cancelling function, and sports a sound quality out from its headphone jack that thrashes the shit out of any ipod manufactered, ever. those who tell me ipod sound quality is good, please, come out of the hole and learn more about other players. of course one can always go buy a good amplifier, but how much will that add to the ipod pricing.
the package came with bare essentials, as with most DAPs nowadays. usb cable, line out cable, noise cancelling in-ear earphones, and the player itself. as with the ipod, it does come with one year local warranty. kind of remind me when my sony ericsson phone failed and i had to make a trip down to wisma atria sony style for repair. quet leung followed and we had a good time talking about sony stuff.
now on to the player itself. it has a 3 inch amoled screen. LISTEN STUPID APPLE GUYS, AMOLED SCREEN MAN. it consumes less power than conventional lcds and pumps out better picture quality in the process. hows that for an improvement. it sports a capacitative touchscreen, which means much better touch interface, at least when compared to the resistive version. as for buttons, it has the usual hold button, volume buttons, noise cancelling button and the music buttons. this makes it pretty much more convenient to use than the ipod touch. dont have to keep taking the player out for a volume or song change.
the user interface is very smooth. music scrolling imitates that of the ipod touch. changing of songs is a breeze as the flow between menu and "now playing" screen is pretty much damn smooth. as usual, video viewing again imitates that of the ipod touch, along with pictures viewing as well. seems like many companies out there did their research on the ipod.
sound quality is AMAZING. the EQ is customisable, there are several technologies included with the player. DSEE , which is pretty much the same as creative's X-FI. clear stereo and bass which cleans up the sound spectrum and gives the lower end an undistorted boost. it uses a digital amplifier, which probably explains for the good sound quality. i can swear that the sound this player pumps out beats every mp3 player out there, cowon, ipod, creative, iriver, samsung, meizu. whatever man. all in all, the sound quality can be described in one word, phenomenal.
this player includes something rare which is noise cancelling. it does so through the included earphones. seems like they installed a microphone in the earpiece, and this allows the player to transmit a signal to cancel out the noise you probably will hear. it works very well i must say. pretty much cancelled out everything that i deemed as noise.
finally, the cons. i can only find one con with this player. in that it supports only wav. HELL. why can you support flac? damn. and for a 3 inch screen, why only allow video resolution up till 320x240. omg. but aiya, i must say these are small cons indeed....
okay here you have it, the review of nwz-1050 by me.
