My new PC…

After my old PC decided to die on me once in a while, I decided to get a new replacement before he finally gave up…

Did some planning and I decided on the components even tho it is slightly over my budget that I wanted to spend on… but since I only get a new PC once after few years… I think I will just pay for it once and for all instead of upgrading it later…

Saw the ad at Gamescore forum in March but didnt get the tix then cause the early bird promotion ended on 15/04 and I havent decide whether to watch it with friends, friend or just myself :-P

Not surprising, one and half month went by pretty fast and I missed the early bird discount, and shit, the tix are fully sold out at Sistic!!

Then I got panicked… How can I missed such wonderful concert when it is first time perform out of Japan… I start to search HWZ and other sources and finally, I found out Gamescore still has the tix for Friday nite (15/06/2007). Immediately I went down on that evening and got the wonderful center seats with 20% discount!! And you stand a chance to win 10 limited edition posters and booklets.

If you missed the booking just like me, dont hesitate anymore, quickly get ur tix from Gamescore while they still have some left, they are located at Funan #05-05, contact number 68373248.

How I wish Nobuo Uematsu, The Black Mages, Yuki Kaijura/FictionJunction Yuuka will have performance here as well…

Seriously, you dont want to miss this…

My new love…

Finally remember to put these together for a photo before anyone of them go hospitalized again…

V3XX, 838 Pro and 650

V3XX, 838 Pro and 650

My Motorola V3xx, Dopod 838 Pro and Palm Treo 650… My Treo 650 has been serving me loyally for 2 years plus, and since there isnt much upgrade path along the way (No, Treo 680 is NOT an upgrade) I decided to jump into Windows Mobile for some test before Jeff Hawkin’s new baby coming…

As for Motorola V3xx, it is a replacement for Nokia N73 which I sold a while back. N73 is not bad for a phone but I dont like its bulkiness though it has a much superior camera. V3xx is so slim that it is barely there… :-P though the feature has nothing to shout about, it is slim that I like to carry on weekends or weekday nights when I am out.

After using the Dopod 838 Pro for close to a month, I am slowly adapting to it. It still does the similar things I do with my Treo, ie Scheduler, Contacts, reading ebook, etc, the bigger screen is definitely a welcome… Of course the trade off with slight bulkier and longer dimension…

838 Pro and 650

And imagine I was having problem using my Treo when 838 Pro was hospitalized!! Human are such habitual animals…

Just two things that I still cant get over now… threaded sms and individual sms/ringtones…

And imagine I hate outlook so much previously, and I still dont think it is a user friendly application… why cant we do right click and copy an appointment?? It really puzzles me… But it is a savior to me now as it is the my main data source that I sync to all my 3 devices…

I guess every lousy things will come in handy at times… haha…

Music And Lyrics…

musicandlyrics_wallpaper_1.jpg

Just watched Music And Lyrics last nite, a cheesy and yet entertaining show…

Hugh Grant is Alex Fetcher, a old time pop idol that gets a second chance… and he met Drew Berrymore and the sparks starts to take off… Kind of old style love comedy, however with Hugh Grant’s funny dance moves, the whole movie was kind of non-stop laughing…

Drew Berrymore is very natural, and Haley Bennett as Cora Corman the top idol that adds orgasm sound and indian music into the theme song “Way Back Into Love….” :-P

Lots of scenes on Hugh Grant performing to groups and groups of women who just loves his butts… haha…

And I love the ending concert where Hugh Grant performs “Dont write me off” and “Way back into love” with Haley Bennett…

Over all a nice show, and the soundtrack is nice as well, the songs are all performed by Hugh Grant, Drew Berrymore and Haly Bennett themselves…

Hibernation Diet…

Was reading my free copy of Lexean and came across this article, “Loose while you snooze” about Hibernation Diet

This diet programme was introduced by Mike and Stuart McInnes, about burning fat when we are sleeping. And the secret behind… Having a tablespoon of honey before we sleep…

Other than the honey, the Diet includes other similar things that I read, ie doing weights are more efficient in burning fats, eat seven small meals a day, more fruits/veges/lean proteins, cut out junk food and so on. You probably want to understand further from the link.

If you are just like me, feels like hitting a resistence and couldnt reduce further, why dont give it a try? Since it is just a simple routine to add-on before sleeping… Even if it doesnt help for you, its no harm as well…

I just started it today, so lets see how it works out in a month later…
