Touchscreen Crazees



iPhone 3G is one of the coolest and the most sought handphone currently. Although it has a typical weakness like drained battery life, people still consider it as a classy of any other mobile brands that won't be missed. It lacks of laggingness especially when you take photoshots and eventhough it's still a 2 megapixel based phone, I salute the quality of its pictures. Worth a try for those who wanted to have a second or third set of their phone collections. Need to download some applications though to make it fully enjoyable. Try and feel its luxury.



I am a Sony Ericsson fan. The Xperia which was first announced in early 2008 (if I'm not mistaken) is the most long awaited mobile this year. Being the first SE product to have Microsoft OS, it would be a teaser for me of how this phone will surprise SE lovers. When this phone landed in my grip, I could feel the heaviness and actually what dissapoints me up till now is that the less sensitivity of the touchscreen. You have to jolt the stylus a bit harder to the screen so it can respond nicely. Or maybe because it's a default setting that you have to adjust the sensitivity of the touchscreen? I don't know. What I know is that the speaker sounds pretty clear. Hmmm, worth a buy? I still prefer its symbian model though; not as what I expected months ago and I can still admire my K850 for the time being, hehe.

BZ

That's how it is these days. Been so damn busy with life and the without maid thing really a big pain in da butt at the moment. Some activities were made; with families and my car. Anyway I'll be updating some pics later on. Totally not have the time to edit pics and uploading it. And I'm still attached with Facebook whilst my other tabs are concentrating with eBaying stuffs and Brudirect Classified Ads..haha.

Payday Payback



Wow, pretty busy nowadays. Maidless, working, houseworks, a little bit of car trimming (less than what I've expected due to the maidless thing), 40% tired than before; but we are actually happy with what we're achieving nowadays. Life is more meaningful when you do hard works on your own; keeping your family under one roof with patience and integrity.

Anyway, today is a big December Rain for Bruneian people. Payday and bonus in one go like last year. My wife and I had to go to the ATM Machines after 8.30pm to avoid queuing that we hate the most...huhu. Yea, no queues, everything went smooth. But couldn't go for shopping of course cuz lots of us are more likely to stay more hours at supermarkets rather than at home. It's normal, so we'll pass this normal issue by staying at home and enjoy our busy life here before we go shopping ourselves a few days from now.

Oh well, tomorrow we'll be staying in Centerpoint though. The most strategic place besides Rizqun. Because of the maidless thing and I'm now working, we do not have the possiblity of staying far from Brunei :( Someday maybe. Will post more later on, have a pleasant night though!

Getting Attached



Well after more than 3 months not singning in my FB, I'm quite attached to its smooth and fast load nowadays, not like months before. I'm not that keened on playing the games at the moment. Enough of checking pics and uploading it; doing walls to walls and becoming a fan of this and that. Not forgetting, superpokin' :)

The connection is a bit okay. I can now downloading mp3s and vids. Hopefully it stays like that. Now it worth the penny. Happy facebooking everyone..

Aslan (...am still *speechless*...)

Christina Aguilera



Genie 2.0

I feel like I've been locked up tight
A century of lonely nights
Waitin', waitin' for someone
You're licking your lips
And blowin' kisses my way
That don't mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby.. oh baby..

[Chorus]
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way

The music's playin'
And the lights down low
One more dance
And then we're good to go
Just waitin'.. waitin' for someone

My hormones are racin' at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
Baby.. ooh baby..

If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way

If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
Gotta make a big impression
Gotta like what you do (3x)

I'm a genie in a bottle, baby.. (2x)

Come on, come on and let me out (4x)

If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way

If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
Gotta make a big impression
Gotta like what you do

I'm a genie in a bottle, baby.. (2x)

Come on, come on and let me out (my heart is sayin') (6x)

The Suck Becomes Sucker (Whatever!!!)

I don't know, lately the connection becomes so hideously irritating. I'd drafted and delayed publishing my posts for a few times now. It's because the connection has problem uploading the pictures. I love uploading pictures for each of my blog title.

Currently the connection goes beyond my patience. I'm now using my wife's B-Mobile simcard
(minjam ah, hehehe) and online via my handphone because I'm too desperate to upload pics and don't want my posts to be delayed. Delaying everything sucks me a lot!!

Hopefully the internet will go smooth soon...it is a real waste of money paying something that you cannot use even at its minimum!

Shop @ Sarah's

Started as a homebase shop with DIY advertisements via their Shop@Sarah's blogsite for few months back, now Kamal and Sufinah (we call 'em Abg Kamal + Kaka Sufi) managed a one step of successness with the launch of Shop @ Lisa Sarah's retail outlet at Q-Lap Mall's 1st floor. Greeted by families and friends, both of them seemed very happy and relief with the positive responses they got and frankly speaking, new customers were there too.

Congrats again, may you guys succeed always...Amin :)

LCD Phenomena



Out of my expectation, my K850 is now at Dee Jay's mobile service, replacing its LCD screen in which my phone has backlight problem. I thought by master resetting the software everything would be okay. My prediction wasn't that relevant I think, huhu. This is the 2nd Sony Ericsson mobile that I use having backlight problem actually, hmmm I wonder why. $100 for replacement *pfffft*

One thing I learn about this, don't ever save the contact numbers without copying all inside your simcard. Because when your mobiles having this kind of problem that requires a master reset of things that would lead to resetting your mobile, everything will be gone for good! I've confronted this 3 times now, a bit tired of saving numbers. Now I learn my mistake, hehe.

Odyssey 2009 Revealed

The face of a new Honda Odyssey. It’s now going a bit far from the last two editions with its new chassis. While still retaining the front headlight (not far of the change) the old Odyssey style, the backlight is completely a new design. Interior is also the same, comprising new Civic/Stream blends with shift pedals are now introduced. Horsepower is also upgraded, so does the Absolute Version. More torque could be felt and I bet this time Odyssey will do 0-100km below 10 seconds (I hope!).

I don’t know if you guys might love this new Odyssey, but I still prefer the old 2003-2004 RB1 model, the first Odyssey with I-VTEC engine to be exact.

Aslan (too bad Honda won't be with F1 by next year)




Yeap, here you are, the JDM 2009 Odyssey



Mugen Odyssey full kits, now that kills!!

BOV Song

I was scouting for Greddy Type R blow off valve's video on Youtube, just wanted to know how it actually sounds when it's installed in low and high boost in certain car models. Of course, Greddy has its new Type RS too, so I checked the video as it sounds a bit similar to Type R. Type S is much whistling, so that's off topic. Then I saw this video, it's a remix song from Dixie called "Tricky Muzza's" which has blow off sounds in it, lol. Quite funny, but the song is sometimes nice and a bit high to me :p



Meanwhile, I read lots of comments that truly hate the cars featured in this video. You know, JDM cars doing those bling-bling things; overatted lookin' mods, stupid plate license names...etc. Let alone been called as ricers. The cars are hailing from Australia. The Aussies love to use chrome wheels, matching it with cars made in Japan like Subaru, Nissan, Mitsu..etc. It's quite unique to me looking at their cars, with the mods like their brutal paintjobs, leather interiors, ICEs, air suspensions...

When the motive of these doings are for car shows (actually to me it is the reason why they do all these so called rice mods), I don't think it's false. If you wanna be unique or wanna be a trendsetter, this is one of the healthy ways. But if it is for my taste, I rather choose 100% JDM lookin' car rather than JDM-turned-nigger-rides, be it in a showcar or performance-wise. Bronze/gunmetal/black wheels always suit me most than chrome nowadays :)

Anyway, enjoy the vid peepz!!

A December To Dismember

I was about to feel sorry of not logged in to my FB for quite sometimes now. The first reaction when I surfed there was like, hmmm, new style, hidden applications, not crowded like before. I updated my profile pic, sniffing around my friends' profiles, doing comments and say hi to those I used to communicate with. After a while, the nightmare came back. The heavy loading and stuffs...wtf. I was (and still am) bored with that. Is it my connection sucks? Or do everyone here in general experience the lag of FB? I am not quite sure actually, nor I keened enuff to delve deeper about this lame matter.

Anyway, I'd booked a 6 days special leave (that is provided by my department to all our staffs) last 2 months ago starting from today's 1st Dec till 6th of Dec. The reasons were to have myself rest from work, doing what I wanted to do; jamming, cars, videos and something that I wanted to enjoy it myself. 6 days aren't that long for a holiday right? And after the holiday, some officers at work were requesting me to do a favor to help 'em doing programming stuffs for our department's big sport event that will be done this 18th-22nd of Dec. I wasn't that anxious of helping at first. But why not? Who knows it would be fun besides having experiences waiting to be gained?


Sleeping on the sofa, didn't want to sleep on her bed

Shit happened. My maid asked to go back to her homeland, due to her father's sickness that is becoming worse day by day...and she planned to go back on 1st Dec. Ring a bell? 1st Dec??? My supposed to be a great holiday thingie?? Instead of fun, 1st Dec becomes a hardwork at home! My wife and myself are now managing our home and kids 100%! Dude, I thought December would be fun. You know, the holiday things, the grand sale things...now ruin. The maid set a month for her unexpected holiday. So a month is me without all the great things I imagined I would do during this month...!

I am a bit dissapointed, frustrated and such. Have to cancel my participation with the sport events. Have to call my officers to release me from such an event. Have to sacrifice all the funs with houseworks and being a good dad. And probably I've to add another 10 days or more for my emergency leave before my wife has her own holiday leave. Everything is crushing my brain. I loathed my maid for giving me a terrible moment in my life.

Every entertainment that concerns with kids' happiness is now inside our bedroom

Yet, come to think of it...who am I to blame this and that? Life seems to be cruel, although it's not like that. The fact that we humans cannot predict our futures or to expect our future to be that damn good or bad. I am about to be one hell of a retarded human to hate my maid in which she has a serious thing to approach way back home and she isn't going home for fun. I think that we have to use our vast brains wisely to think fast with lots of options in minds how to handle unforeseened incidents so that eventhough you're stressed out, but actually you've saved yourself from being stupid of blaming someone to fulfil your ignorance (in which I did it too in the very first place, hehe).

Oh well, life goes on y'know. Just go with the flow. Dalam pahit ada manisnya..

Aslan (the good side is that my Afrina will bond to us again)
