Sorry for not updating my blog

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I am sorry for not updating my blog for such a long time. Work has really been piling up. It’ll change from today onwards as the my part in the magazine is done, so that leaves me time to blog.

I’ve been spending too much money lately. I got my iPod Touch, i got an ASUS Eee PC and I am planning to get an IS lens for my 350D and also an iPhone. I might scrap the idea of getting an iPhone. I’ll see how it goes.

Spent my money on this thing

My class just started yesterday. I had a full day class on Sunday, that goes my life. I will be taking two subjects this semester, Strategic Management and Organizational Behavior. Both are interesting subjects but it’s just that I don’t really know if I could cope with it now that I am working.

I have a bit of problem with my course as well. You see, I am majoring in Project Management but the thing is, not many people are majoring in the same major as I am, so there won’t be any classes for it. I’ll have to take a distance learning thing where I can only communicate with my lecturers in Australia, instead of attending lectures in a normal classroom type. I am still thinking if I should go for Project Management. I might just take a general MBA and live with it, not that it’s any bad anyway.

PC Fair is coming and I’ll be at the fair to help out. My magazine has a booth there to sell subscriptions. There will be free gifts and also discounts. Drop me a comment and I’ll tell you where my booth is. Not really ready to reveal my magazine yet (although my name card is posted in my previous entry).

I’ve been attending A LOT of events for the past month. So many that we couldn’t include all the event news in the news section of the magazine. Some of the stuff I got for free in my events:

  • Plenty of T-Shirts (as usual) including one super cool Apple Mac OS X t-shirt
  • Some pens and key chains (also usual)
  • 45 items from Intel’s 45nm processor launch
  • A Cross pen from Samsung’s LCD TV launch (these pens are expensive!)
  • An imported 2GB thumbdrive from Lenovo
  • A 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo from Sony

And the best of all (not really an expensive gift but it’s practical), a mobile phone from LG!

FREE!

The phone is a VERY basic phone that only lets you receive and make calls, SMS, and some very basic functions. It doesn’t event have a camera or a memory expansion slot. Heck, it doesn’t even have WAP functions but I like it. The fact that it is a phone, nothing else, makes me like it even more. I don’t really use a lot of the functions on my Sony Ericsson M600i anyway. The battery life is superb as well and it is super light. I can’t even feel it in my pocket!

Anyway, I’ll post a mini review of the Eee PC in my next entry since Brian linked me

Work work

I won’t be updating my blog too often until the end of the month.  Work is piling up and it’s as tall as Everest.  I’ve been attending events no stop for the past week and the only time I have to do my work is at night.

I’ve been sleeping late these days as I come back from the office after midnight.  If not, I’ll be working at home pass 3am.

Anyway, I’ve been assembling my test bed PC in the office.  It’ll be the best PC anyone has ever dream of it will be updated as soon as there are new stuff.  I’ll post the details in my next entry, when I get back to the office.

I’ll update as often as I can.  I promise!

A little update

Sorry for not updating my blog recently.  Been busy attending events and Eileen’s assignments.  Work is also a bit tied up.

Anyway, my review on the iPod Touch is up at myMacBUZZ, check it out here. The iPod Touch is really tempting me to get an iPhone.  I know I said that the hype of the iPhone in me is gone but after using the iPod Touch for a few weeks, the hype in me has increased.  I am still thinking if I want to get the iPhone.  I have too many debts to settle first, I wasn’t working for 1 year, remember? My credit card bills are piling up.

Nothing much to update in this entry.  I just had lunch with Andrew, Koon and Christine.  Koon and Christine was in KL attending a wedding dinner.  Had dinner with them, Andrew and Ken last night.
