gadgets

[SONG] Joe - All That I Am

So since visiting my dad in Sibu, Malaysia, I have received some new gadgets =)

Here they are...



The Sony DSC-N2! (Front View)



(Back View)

IPhone 3.5g 16gig

***

Though these 'gifts' were hand-me downs, I'll just take whatever I could squeeze from my dad. They are a bit out of date, but whatever...

The Camera has since stop production, but the picture quality and functions seem to be quite good - very similar to the T700. The only downside is that it's thicker then the T700. Oh well, who is to complain. At least now I have a camera =) haha

-

The IPhone is well an iphone. Since the big 'hoohaa' of the iphone, I still can't figure out the big idea. At the end of the day, it's still a phone. Even though I am not a big fan of the iphone, I just took it anyways. Remember, the main motive behind this trip was to 'squeeze' haha...*evil grin*

Anyways, the phone doesn't even work in Singapore. I'm still awaiting my dad to send me this rubber thing to unlock my local sim card. So it's gonna be quite a while before I even turn it on again. Til then, I'm just gonna use it to browse the net while I am in bed. =)

Nokia e71

Nove and I just got this phone about a month ago. It's a really great phone for the price we paid. I am still not a fan of Nokia, but I must say that they did a great job on this one.

It has some great functions. The business applications are great and handy for everyday work. The wifi keeps me connected and the keyboard makes e-mailing and smsing a breeze. So much more easy to use then the iphone and omnia. The BIG BIG BIG plus, which initially made me dislike Nokia phones, is that this one isn't laggy. I am free to search and use the phone without having to wait like 20 seconds for an application to load.

Overall, great phone with great value.

I'm out....peace!

Sibu, Malaysia

Leaving for Sibu, Malaysia tmr morning.

God...I wish I could just stay here....it's gonna be so boring!! Work has been so tiring that I just wanna stay in bed and sleep all day. I haven't had a good 8 hrs sleep all week....i guess that's the life of a working adult eh? haha ...shitty!

Anyhoo...the bright side is that I get to meet up with Alan tmr morning for brunch or lunch?

It's been awhile since i've seen him, so atleast we'll have some time to catch up and talk a bit!

Anyways, I'll be back on monday night, so I hope to post something a bit more interesting then.


Take Care!!

Malaysia

It's been a while and I'm sorry everyone. It's been a crazy period and it's hard to find time to do anything drastic. I wanna drink and get crunked, but I just get soo tired over the weekends, I just don't have the mood to go anymore. weird...i guess the age is catching up with me lol!!


I'll be headed to Malaysia next Friday on the 17th for my Grandpa's B-day.

Luckily I was able to apply for leave cuz it's been hectic at work. The end of the year is always peak season so i'm quite happy my director approved the leave.

However, I don't really feel like going back. It's gonna be fucking tiring and boring. I gotta travel from here to the airport in JB, then take a flight to my hometown. Furthermore, my hometown is such a bore that there is nothing to do...AT ALL!!!

It's gonna be a boring weekend and I'm dreading it already....dammit!

-

Anyhoo...


I'm starting to mix up some things at work. Trying to bring in a different flavor, if you may. I got loads of new fresh ideas to bring up and it's gonna be hard work. I'm trying to incorporate a lot of IT work and some new fresh marketing ideas. It's difficult in such a large organization because you gotta go through a lot of departments and get approval from different sectors of the company. Mainly, i gotta pass the hierarchy up to the EAM to approve my ideas and proposals. Which in hand, will take quite a bit of time.

But if everything goes well and smooth, I'll be gifted with the warmth of satisfaction. I just hope there will be minor hiccups and a much smoother path way to get my ideas passed through.

Some of them are:

- new e-mail proposal formats
- new marketing brochure EG. sales kits
- Higher quality images for references
- incorporating external sources EG. bands and contractors
- Organizing the filing methods
- stronger communication methods


etc etc..

I got a lot of ideas, but I just need to find a way to get them heard and written into a proper proposal format. It's gonna be tough, with the layouts and writing. It's gonna be like going back to school for a period of time.

argh...dreadful but it should be satisfying haha!

Since the F1 is now officially over, I'll have more time to concentrate on work and life itself. It's gonna be a crazy, hopefully fun, year end. On top of all that, I may be playing a big roll in the Hotel's annual Christmas Tree Auction, which should be fun and exciting. On the plus, it would look good on my future resume too...can't wait to see what happens.

Overall, work is good and fun. Can't wait to shine and show my abilities.

I'm out..

If you guys want anything from a crappy ass town in Malaysia, let me know hahaha.. jokes!

peace y'all!
