Streamyx's a bitch and I'm regretting ever having slept with it!
Ahem, on to the side news, my life! Wee, aren't you people excited?! I sure am :)
First off - I got a new mobile, and it's sweeeeT! It's the sony ericsson W910i walkman phone. Why the sudden change you ask? My dad's a gadget freak too , no less than I am seriously (for a better picture - get this, I was walking around Wisma Merdeka with my family, went to an optician's shop, decided not to spend RM 700 on an aviator sunglasses, said to my dad, it's better to spend it on something more practical like a phone, so 5 minutes later, we were checking out some phones and got my phones 10 minutes after - wicked). He really wanted to try out this thingy called 3G video calling. I don't really give a shit about it (may change my mind when I get a girl.. maybe), or the other gimmicks they're pulling outta their sleeves like movies on a phone, IM on a phone, email on a phone for that matter.. Ok, some of the things I mentioned may be useful to some, but movies? Who'd wanna watch movies on such a small screen. If it's like a short funny clip, then meh, that's ok.. but an entire movie? Why let your eyes go through so much?!
But yeah, anyway, my phone is full of it when it comes to gimmicks. Shake control to switch songs, motion control that changes the way the screen is displayed, stuff like that. Despite that, I still love it and I'm not a hypocrite - read on. Sound quality is great, best used when on the go or heck, even when cooking in the kitchen. I really like the headset that came with the phone. Cuts off most of the background noise and has a good bass. This phone might just replace my beat up shuffle. Other points I have to give the phone - sleek design, very light and a nice big screen (I'm very easily pleased like that, nothing too fancy ya know?). It's my first high end phone.. hmm, not really, cause I had a nokia 6230 but that ended up sleeping with the fishes (I drowned it, in a toilet.. while taking a leak.. hey, who hadn't done it before huh?) My dad has plenty of experiences with phone losing - drown, stolen, washed and dried, so I guess it runs in the family. I just hope mine doesn't end up dead as this model had had some issues with freezing.
However, I do think I'm becoming a consumer freak. The day I got the phone, I was so restless, skimming through pages of reviews on this phone. Most websites gave it an average due to the aforementioned issues and recommended other models. I had to bite my lips from giving out a sigh. Then I looked at reviews of other phones, and succeeded in convincing myself that my w910i is still the best and I'm gonna stick with it. Before getting the phone, I had my eyes on the samsung soul, but damn man, the price tag really put me off. RM 1999 just for the extra touchpad? I don't think so..
Oh btw, my current no. is 0128219529
Other stuff I've been doing? Not much. So, I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend this gaming podcast NoobToob at www.noobtoob.com . Despite what some may say about NoobToob being unprofessional (duh?..it's called NOOBtoob for a reason) and biased, I find the show really funny and interesting...and honest, to the extent that they are honest to themselves. It's hard to give an unbiased review of something..ok wait..It's IMPOSSIBLE to give an unbiased review of something since everyone would have their own preferences..some may like a good storyline in their games..others would prefer a great gameplay experience..but whatever. I watch them plainly because they're funny and they are REAL gamers themselves who just simply like to share their opinion of games they have actually played..unlike some game websites out there ..ahem..*cough*. So do check them out if you're interested, http://www.noobtoob.com/ . They're up to episode 102 now and still ongoing. Oh, and they're a bit vulgar sometimes, but hey, you'll get used to it, and besides, it's funny when they swear :)
I'm gonna be having badminton lessons tomorrow if all goes well. I get tired of things pretty easily nowadays. I can start blogging, stop, switch to an anime, stop 5 minutes into the intro and decide to do something else. I lost count the number of times I've alt tabbed back into this blog to finish it. Heck, I neglected my wife (PS3) for almost a month now and I'm not very proud of it. That expensive piece of equipment deserves more love, but I'm just too lazy to drag it down every night and set up the whole thing and pack it up after an hour +. Why do I have to pack it up? My bro.. he deleted my whole Kingdom Heart save file which I've spent.. A.LOT.OF.TIME perfecting. Need I say more?
Oh oh, before I end this, I have a question to the readers. Has anyone had ay experience with sea mails? Do they get delivered to your doorstep? I've been waiting for a shipment from the US for almost a month now. Do reply if you have the slightest idea - you'd comfort this restless soul quite a bit.
I'm out!
Fight on 7:49 AM
