My brother a.k.a Budeen.com and family visited us just now in our house in JB. He and his family took a break and came down to Johor Bahru. After few minutes, he showed me his 2 weeks old iphone 3G 2nd generation (16GB). Wow!!! It’s damn cool. It’s gorgeous and sleek. I love it. The touch screen is simply magnificent and smooth. The screen is large enough and very comfortable for surfing the internet via safari browser, watching movies and videos, playing games, utilizing the GPS and others. I’m so fascinated with his new iPhone which cost him roughly about RM2700 which he bought from Singapore. He also bought a cover for the iPhone which cost him RM100 (that’s just a cover to protect the rear part of the iPhone). According to him, a new set of iPhone (8GB) cost about RM2400. I’m already fallen in love with iPhone and I think I’m no longer considering Sony Ericson C905. I’m going to save my cash for an iPhone now.
Why I have not paid attention on iPhone before?
I have less exposure on iPhone and other Apple products. On top of that, there’s no support yet for iPhone in Malaysia. Hence, those who loved iPhone can get it from Singapore. I’m not sure why iPhone is available and supported in Singapore. I also have not yet seen iPhone with my own eyes and experience it. Once, I explored it just now, I know this is not just a hand phone, it’s everything. iPhone really rocks.
The only downside in my opinion is the iPhone camera which is only 2MP. I think it would be great if the 3rd generation iPhone come with at least 3.2MP or even better 5MP camera. Nevertheless, I tested my brother’s iPhone camera and hey… it’s not bad at all.
Why I like it instantly?
1. Large and clear screen.
2. Smooth touch pad.
3. Sound system is superb. Almost like the one we experience in movies.
4. Very fast internet connection because it has 3G and HSDPA.
5. Watching movie via iPhone is cool.
6. The games are awesome!!!
7. Powerful graphics and interface.
8. And much more…
And for a real and true experience, have a look at the following videos:

In a major search engine (I’m not going to mention here), I saw a list. It was a list of the top ten most popular searches of the day. I felt quite weird because I don’t even know some of the names or object being searched by people all over the world, yet they are so popular that people are hunting for their information. I expected them to search something more common and popular such as female artist or politics etc. I clicked on one of the item being searched and it directed me to this attractive female. Who is she?
By now, I already know who she is. What about you? Are you curious who she is? In the top ten daily search at the time this post was published, she stays cool at position #2. I apologize for not publishing a better quality photo. If I publish her clearer photos, you will recognize her from her attire.
For those of you who want to guess, please do so in the comment area. No prize for the one who guess correctly. Here are 2 clues:
1. She’s currently 31 years old.
2. She’s not from America or Canada.
I received a call from a student yesterday and I thought it was something to do about his studies or research. To my surprise, he was asking me whether I can lend him some money for his part time business. Wow!!! Fuhhh… When I asked how much, it was a couple of thousand ringgit! Well, I could not lend him any money because:
1. I’m going to use my reserve money for lots of other things.
2. I fear I won’t see my money again…
What about you? What will you do if you were in my shoes?
I’m not really in the mood yesterday evening and today. Why? After two rounds of bowling game with my wife yesterday, on our way to pick-up our son from school, my sony ericsson K810i suddenly became inactive! that had happened several times within 2-3 weeks time. Usually I will switch it off and switch it on again. However, yesterday, it won’t switch on again!
I attempted every skill and knowledge I have in order to restore my K810i, but until 2100 hrs yesterday, I finally decided to use our spare hand phone. I transferred my sim card to our RM100 Nokia hand phone (don’t ask me what model) because I don’t know. I think that Nokia hand phone value now is only RM50, but at least I can still call and sms, but not taking photos etc.
I wonder, was this happening because I have already set my mind to own a brand new Sony Ericsson C905. I blogged about it last October and I really fancy this phone. It’s simply a genius hand phone with 8.1 MP camera and GPS incorporated inside it as well. Well, I don’t want to believe that. Maybe it’s about time I have to depart with my beloved gadget, K810i. It has been a very excellent servant and I’m very pleased having it as my loyal companion. I’ll decide today whether I’m going to send it for repair or keep on using this old nokia spare phone or buy Sony Ericsson C905? What do you guys think? or recommend?
Today, I received a surprised back link from my good blogger colleague, Sir Azwan Hadzree, happily announcing that he has improved his 3 months old blog Alexa Rank. Yeah, we did thought of challenging each other on improving our Alexa rank but did not publicly announce it and the mutual agreement was signed about 3 months ago. However, due to 2 unique reasons, my Alexa not only dropped but I lost the saga. Those reasons are:
1) I forgot about the alexa war.
2) I was focusing on other net activities.
For record, presently, Azwan.my Alexa rank is 737,479 while cyza.us is 1,575,379. So, what should I do now? Should I challenge him again and try to kick his ass? Say another 3 months and we checked on our Alexa ranks and Google PR? What do you guys think? What do you think Azwan?
I’ll follow majority of the commenters input. Final decision will be made this Friday midnight.
What the hell is Alexa Ranking?
For the sake of those of you who aren’t sure what is Alexa Rank, Alexa is a very powerful tool used to rank web site traffic. You can find out how your web site traffic stacks up against all your competitors (in my case, Azwan.my)! Besides using alexa.com, you can also alexa ranking tool to find out how well your site ranks up against millions of other sites on the Web.
Remember: “The lower the Alexa ranking number the more heavily visited the site.” Some examples are:
cyza.us (rank 1,575,379 ), amazon.com (rank 14); weather.com (rank 64); cnn.com (rank 26); google.com (rank 5); Yahoo.com (rank 1). These rankings are generally consistent with the amount of traffic they have.
Today, I brought my family to watch Geng Movie a.k.a Upin and Ipin the movie. Without knowing the story line or synopsis, we woke up early and headed to Jusco Aeon Tebrau City, Johor Bahru to catched the early bird movie. I only know that this Malaysian cartoon movie has accumulated one million ringgit in 3 days. When we reached there, it was 10.30 am and I scanned through the monitors to see what time Upin and Ipin is screening but I can’t find it anywhere. Then my wife told me the name of the movie is “Geng”.
We were quite early and therefore the queue was not that long. After getting our popcorn and soft drink, we entered the theater #1. Wow….it was already almost full, full with people. This movie must be special. So, we sat and enjoyed the movie.
Yep, I enjoyed it very much. The movie was awesome. Although it was not as excellent as Disneyland cartoon movies, but this product is for me the best Malaysian cartoon movie so far. Well done to the director and everybody who have worked very hard making this movie. There was enough humor and suspense and positive message. They tried to make a sad scene at the end, but I think it’s not really sad. However, it is a very good movie and I highly recommend those who haven’t watch “Geng” to watch it. I may consider watching it again, not in cinema, but maybe get a DVD later.
Finally I decided to buy LEGO for my kids. I’ve been playing this while I was a kid and I know lego is a very good quality long lasting toy. I bought this lego set last Saturday at Toys’urs (did I spell that correctly?). The lego box cost me RM219 but I’m satisfied with it. There are enough legos for all my kids to play and built house, cars, dogs etc. If you have kids aging above 4 years old, I highly recommend you to buy them Lego set. It’s worth it.
This is a nice home cook chili crab. It was my wife’s first attempt of cooking this dish. Unfortunately the crabs didn’t taste good because it’s no longer fresh. However, the chili gravy fried with egg taste really good. At least that made it eatable. Rating: 4 Star.
Beef Lasagna which I had in Secret Recipe. It was served after 3-4 minutes ordering and I consider that very fast. I wonder how do they cooked it. Maybe they have kept it ready and just put it in the microwave as people ordered them. By the way, I love the presentation. Well done. Rating: 4 Star.
A closer look of the Beef Lasagna. This beef lasagna uses means meat as the main ingredient besides cheese and pasta.
Grilled Dory with Lobster source was the course chosen by my wife while dining at Secret Recipe. Yeah, it was a nice one, but I don’t think I’ll order it in future. Rating: 3.5 Star.
This is “Maki”. Our insurance agent treated us for an interesting lunch at a Kinsahi, a Japanese restaurant located in Sutera Mall, Johor Bahru. This Maki is superbly delicious! I love it and I will it this again. Rating 5 Star.
I forgot what this course is called but I had it in Kinsahi as well. It was nice to be able to taste some of this “weird” cooking (because it’s Japanese course) but I fancy the tempura but not the brown coloured squid. Rating: 3 Star.
