Samsung Galaxy S II (GT-i9100)

Hello,
As some of you might know I got myself a new phone recently as a birthday present to myself. cause my old phone has been acting up,lagging and some other small defects on me and also greed.

Oh and before all the apple fanboys come in and say iPhone 4 are the best go look up the spread sheet. The only thing it's better with is the screen and Super AMOLED + is already nearly as good and Samsung supplies most parts for Apple XP
oh and I got tired watching this add and it's variants on TV and in cinemas.

If you don't have an iphone, well you don't have an iphone. Of course I don't have an iphone if I don't have an iphone........WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY!!!! OR YOUR OUT OF IDEAS SO YOU START STATING THE OBVIOUS.

Or is this what your trying to say?
 

Or this?

So behold the Android Parody as a counter XD

Oh look at what "new innovations" Mr Job has announced for iOS5 and their comparison to Android here XP
To quote the man himself 
"2011: Year of the Copycats  " - Steve Job, 2nd March 2011 


I have very few complains about my new phone. One thing is I miss HTC's Sense UI but I guess I'm getting used to Samsung's Touchwiz. Don't really want to try all those custom launchers out there. The phone is fantastic, battery is a bit not so great after heavy usage but I guess any phones will deplet faster while watching HD videos, even my laptop does ahaha. I totally love the colours on the Super AMOLED plus screen XD
My two biggest complain about the phone is unlike HTC phones they don't have LEDs to tell you that you have missed calls and sms to read like the iphone so you have to turn on the screen constantly to check if you haven't noticed it. Though this problem is easily fixed with an app called noLED which puts a dot at the corner of the screen like an LED if you receive those things and the good thing about the screen of the S2 is pixels that are displaying black are actually off so you see real black and those pixels don't consume energy as they are off so unlike on other devices noLED won't consume much power by using the screen like that ^^
The other thing is the position of the speaker but I guess just like how I got used to the awkward position of flash on my camera, I'll get used to that as well.
Here's some pics I tried to snap with the phone's camera though this are noob photos and I'm a consumer after all not a pro XP

 Parts of the University of Queensland's Great Court.

 Some pics from the Hartley Teakle building where I have my ECON1010 and ACCT1101 tutorials.

 Some random pics I took at UQ Lakes while being bored waiting for some of my friends doing Engineering preparing to start their presentation of the water filters etc. that they made.

Oh this one is a pic from Cinema 5 from Southbank's Cineplex. It has a 25 meter screen and this picture was taken from the middle so imagine the size of the place XD went to watch X-Men : First Class there.

Oh it's STUVAC right now,.....

finals start on Saturday....

The hated ECON1010..

So that's it from me for now

So until next time,

Hobey-ho let's go.

さよなら。。（＾＿＾）

Going to be broke soon T_T

おひさしぶりだね、=D
Hey guys,
It's been a very long time since I last updated this thing.
Truth is I wanted to write a lot since kak sara's wedding but well, being busy and lazy is not such a great combination after all =D
Therefore I'll skip those parts and just don't write about them maybe I'll write about some of them when I look back in the far distant future XP

Oh it was my 20th birthday last Sunday, thanks to all my friends and family who wished me ^^

My laptop was being weird yesterday and won't detect it's webcam during the night for two days OTL

It would be ok during the day and during the night when I was trying to skype with my family it won't detect my webcam so I became sound only OTL

So for now this post shall be about a number of stuff that has depleted my bank account since the time when I just arrived in Australia till very recently.

First up, one of the basics, a new external hard disk. The 2.5" 1TB I brought with me was almost full (pushing your high speed internet quota over it's limit will do that). So I bought this from JB HiFi. Was pondering whether to get a a 1TB 2.5" or 2TB 3.5" and I wanted one that supported USB 3.0. So finally after going around a few shops and standing in them for more than an hour I decided to buy this one. A 3.5" WD My Book Essential 2TB HDD

Next thing the list of stuff that depleted my bank account is this.

 

It's a Nikon COOLPIX S8100. You can read a review of it here.  I don't know where my previous camera went OTZ I hope I accidently left it at home or with my mom.Hopefully none of my sisters read this. Ying, Nana, if you two read this remember if you tell mom I'll have a bone to pick with you guys, I got stuff on you guys as well >_< Anyway that gave my concious a good enough excuse to get myself a new camera and though it doesn't have a touch screen like my previous one, it has better specs ^^ though the position where the flash pops out is really awkward as most people would have their left hand there though you'll get used to it. ^^

Next up is this little critter, the Nintendo 3DS

Honestly, who doesn't know what this thing is. Anyway you can read a review about it here . I actually got mine a $100 cheaper than prices in store. Thank you ebay \0/ though I haven't been playing that much due to assignment due dates and finals coming soon. Just you wait winter holidays XD

and finally the most recent culprit putting me on a very tight budget. A birthday present I bought for myself (sound so sad and lonely lol). The smarphone that many reviewers have crowned as the current King of Smartphones  (even with it's greatest rival the HTC Sensation coming around the corner) beating the crap out of Apple's Iphone 4 and even whatever 5 or 4S they gonna release as Android pawns iOS (Apples model is they do things one way and everybody will have to suit themselves to it and then it's easy to be comfy, android on the other hand allows a lot of tinkering and customization according to how you want to use  the device). The Samsung GT-i9100 Galaxy SII. You can read some some round up reviews here. In Hardware terms it effectively kicks almost every phone out in the market now and also the soon to be released HTC Sensation don't know about the fruit company as they everything also secretive. Though if only HTC Sense 3.0 UI is in this phone, would have been perfect  XD It's also the current thinnest smartphone in the world (well actually it's the second thinnest, there's this phone in Japan which is thinner and there's also some with greater specs but that phone is not released internationally and only limited to the Japanese market so the Galaxy S2 takes the tittle) ^^

 I ordered one last week, bought it outright as I don't want to be locked in a contract and I don't want to get a locked phone where you can't use with any other network unless you pay an unlocking fee. The thing should have been in my hands by now though tracking shows that it arrived at the Brisbane Airport after the the Fedex Courier have dispatched so my new super phone will be spending the night in a warehouse in the Brisbane Airport before it gets sent to me tomorrow >_<" If only they had DHL I would have used that instead of Fedex..... DHL goes straight to the Brisbane Airport instead of Fedex who brings stuff into Aussie through Sydney first and then only dispatching it to other states through local flights effectively adding one or two days into the equation with about the same price.... Good thing I don't have any classes tomorrow so hopefully it'll come early then I can go out to Toowong and pick up some mail or I have to delay that chore.

Well guys that's it from me for now,

been a very long time and finals are coming next month ahaha.

Hopefully I won't be as lazy as I've been the rest of the year and update this place once in a while again, maybe after finals and the winter holidays start or something.

So until next time guys,

hobey-ho lets go,

さよなら。（＾＿＾）

Happy 2011

新年明けましておめでとうございます！！！
Happy New Year 2011
&
Selamat Pengantin Baru to Kak Sara and Aizuddin.

Australian Student Visa Approved

My Aussie student visa was approved today \0/
That was surprisingly fast considering I just finished my medical examination last Tuesday.
The Aussie Immigrations sure do a fast job. If only our government do jobs as fast as them ^^

Anyway UQ here I come =D
Now to get some flight tickets. Should I take MAS and go straight to Brisbane or the cheaper Air Asia to Gold cost and take the train to Brisbane.
and to look for accommodations, why are all residential colleges catered T_T
and the only on-campus accommodation that is self-catered seems pretty good but damn expensive AUD $285 per week T_T

Oh well, we'll see how things go, till next time ^^

PlayStation 3 & PlayStation®Move

Finally after saving money for a long time and having to spend on other stuff in certain conditions and saving again and again etc. finally =D , bought these at the PC EXPO in Mid Valley during
the PC EXPO earlier this month ^^

The University of Queensland

The University of Queensland's Coat of Arms

So finally after a kinda long period of applications,thinking and waiting I've finally decided where I'm gonna study. Recently went to the Taylor's Placement Center Agreement and Response to Offer form to UQ and got my electronic Confirmation of Enrollment (eCOE) and Acceptance Letter recently.

I'm gonna be starting my first year as a UQ student in the Bachelor of Business Management in February 2011 in UQ, St. Lucia which is the main campus of UQ =D
Now the hard part is finding some good accommodation to stay in during my first year. hum should I find one near/on-campus or off-campus near the Central Business District where all the shops are （＞＿＜） Why does all the on campus residential colleges have to be catered, I want self-catered T_T

Here are some fun facts about the University of Queensland.

MOTTO:

Which means unlike the Tensai (genius) friends of mine like the ones in Cambridge,Oxford,ANU,HKU etc. , we reached where we are by means of hard work =D

Medical Assistant

Hey everyone,
been a long time ahaha =D
well just to update a bit on what I've been up to recently.
Basically there are some important stuff like my future uni,kak sara's engagement etc. but more on that later this post is about the job I've been doing since I finished TBF last July.
Basically I'm working as a Medical Assistant in Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur for ZAR SURGERY SDN BHD. Basically Pantai rents the places to specialist doctors to set up individual clinics in Pantai and I work for one of these clinics and not Pantai itself like the Nurses etc. Basically I'm a temporary filling in for Kak Syairin who just delivered her third son last August and will be on leave until November. You can guess who's my boss ahaha
Here's a bit of sneak peak into the office =D

The receptionist area of the clinic.
These two are the pics inside Dr. Zain's room where he do the check ups some procedures etc. =D
The room where he does the procedures that requires local anesthetics =D
General anesthetics need to be done in the Operation Theaters.
Basically when there's nothing to be done this is where I sit doing random stuff all day ahaha
All the files around the place lol, pening to susun and do all the paperwork some times ahaha and also when I have to look for some of the patients files.
These cramped space is where all the medicines that doesn't require refrigeration, A4 papers,photostat machine,envelopes etc. etc. are kept lol damn hard to find some of them sometimes ^^"
These is where we keep most of the equipment,some plasters,tissues,cotton buds,gauze,most of the packed sterilized stuff,sterilized gloves,needles,syringes etc. etc. are kept =D


And lastly a picture of some of the lame jokes hanged on the wall at the sofas in the waiting area opposite the receptionist are =D

Some of them really lame right ahahaha =P

Well that's all from me for now.
Until you hear from me again ^^

さよなら。
