Graduating tomorrow!

My graduation starts in 6 hours and I’m supposed to be there at 7.30am.  I’m still wide awake but I’m glad I finished writing what I’m supposed to write today.

I will definitely be Twittering about the whole ceremony so if you want to know what’s happening, follow me on Twitter.  I’ll do a proper blog post on my graduation later.

I’ll need to get some shut eye now. Good night!

Twitter-ing these days

I have not been blogging lately as I am really busy attending product launches and events.  Follow my Twitter page, I update my stuff there more often than I do here.

You see the chatbox on the right of this page? There is an orange box below the chatbox.  Just click it to go to my Twitter page.

If you are hardworking, come read my latest Twitter status from my blog.

Got to go!

FREAKING ANGRY ENTRY

So the iPhone is officially here in Malaysia courtesy of Maxis.  Is there anything to be excited about? Yes, there is! But look at the plans, are you excited now?

What ticks me of writing this entry is Maxis.  They’ve asked, AKA paid, a few famous bloggers to blog about the iPhone in Malaysia thingy but these bloggers know nuts about the iPhone!!!

Please Maxis, if you want to degrade yourself asking these bloggers to act like they know a thing or two about the iPhone, DO NOT FREAKING PULL APPLE IN AND DEGRADE THEM!!!!

If you want to get people to write an advertorial, ask someone who KNOWS about the iPhone, not some fuckers who’ve used it for a few months making calls and stuff and gets awed by the multi touch capabilities.  These people knows nuts about the technology behind the iPhone!!! Do they know it’s a capacitive screen instead of a “I’m happy I don’t have to use a pen to write anymore” screen, or a screen that “i can’t use my fingernails on, but never mind because Maxis paid me so I got accustomed to it already”? Do they know how much RND has been done on just the multi touch screen alone? Do they know how much effort an App developer put in to develop the “oh I use this to call my girlfriend and it’s so fun” application in the AppStore? NO THEY DO NOT FUCKING KNOW!!! All they freaking know is that Maxis paid them money to write it!

The worst part is, there were a few saying that “wow for only RM375 a month for 24 months I can get a free iPhone!” FUCK THE HELL OFF!!! That’s supposed to be a “wow” factor?? RM9,000 for an iPhone with about 83 minutes of calls and 100MB of data a day is a wow factor??? Unless you are a freaking business man who makes A LOT OF local calls and tether your iPhone to use it as a modem, YOU CAN NEVER USE THAT MUCH!!! Even if you do, why the hell do you want an iPhone? Tethering is not easy on the iPhone and battery sucks so you won’t be able to make so many calls.  Do these bloggers know all these things? FUCKING HELL NO!!! So why pay RM9,000 for something you don’t use? Do not argue with me the warranty part! Apple’s QC is one of the best in the world and I’ve not found anyone in the Apple community that has a DOA iPhone but do these bloggers know that? NO!!!

Yes I am talking like an Apple fanboy but this really angers me!

To all the other bloggers, IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT A PRODUCT, DO NOT FUCKING WRITE AN ADVERTORIAL ON IT LIKE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING THAT IT DOES!!! HAVE A BIT OF INTEGRITY PLEASE!!!

P.S. This is an angry entry and I appologise for my use of vulgarity here but this really pisses me off.

P.P.S. I don’t mind reading advertorials written by these bloggers, even though they didn’t really use it, but this is just too much for me to handle.

P.P.P.S. I have to kau-tau to advertisers in my work as well and after this entry, I don’t think Maxis will advertise with my magazine, as if they are.  Before you judge, I know my stuff when I write for the magazine, not like these fuckers who are so “excited” at the iPhone.

25 Random Things

Ok, this thing has been going around Facebook like wild fire.  In fact, it made the “Notes” application in Facebook more popular.  I’m not going to post this on Facebook because I’m too lazy to update my blog and I’ll schedule this to publish whenever I’m lazy.  If you are reading this, that means I’m lazy now!

1. I’m a gadget freak.  I spend all my money on gadgets.

2. I like taking pictures but I don’t like to be in it.

3. I have a serious back problem. I’m ok now and I hope I’ll be ok for the rest of my life.

4. I am officially a Masters holder in less than a month’s time.  Call me Master Koh next time you see me.

5. I can solve the Rubik’s cube in less than 2 minutes.  Ken used to be faster but I doubt it now

6. I never waste food. I finish everything on my plate/cup.  That explains my weight.

7. I like cars but don’t ask me to change my car’s engine oil.

8. I hate people who park at disabled spots.  I used to need these parking spots when my back was bad.  I understand the disabled people out there.

9. I have a brother, one year younger than I am.  He is now in Papua New Guinea helping my dad.

10. I hate English.  I never study for my exams and for some reason, I’m always the top in my class.  It’s ironic that I write for a living now.  That why you would sees a little mistaken there and here.

11. I love comedies. Especially those that has no plot in it.  Those are the best!

12. I have a girlfriend and 2009 is our 10th year together.

13. I was very active in school.  I was in the swimming club, badminton club, drums club, quarter master club, prefects board, year book club and English club. I held positions in those clubs.

14. I like to ponder at useless stuff sometimes.

15. I drink lots of water when I’m nervous.

16. I like to drive out in the middle of the night and think.  It keeps my mind clear.

17. I can speak English, Malay, Cantonese, Mandarin and Hokkien.

18. I’ve never ever finish a book in my life.  I only read the first few pages and the book will mysteriously collect dust some where.

19. I suffer from running nose whenever I have a haircut.  Don’t ask me why.

20. My favourite actor/host/singer is Jacky Wu.  I watch his variety show every single week for the past 6 years.

21. I always wonder if I did this instead of that, what would happen. 

22. I always fantasize that if I win the lottery, how many percent of the winnings will be given to my parents, brother, car, house and my girlfriend.  Then I’ll calculate how much I have left for gadgets.

23. I love pork and my favourite food is luncheon meat! My future wife will be happy to read this.

24. I always put my family, friends and work before myself.  I know that’s bad.  That’s how I got my second back ache.  I put work before my health.  I need to change this.

25. I will not tag my friends as this took me 30 minutes of my time.  I don’t want them to waste time like this and I’ll get to know them face to face, not through Facebook!

Phew! Finally.

Another idiot!

I really don’t understand what’s wrong with these people…

The guy just parked there and went into the pertrol station kiosk.  There were no motorcycles in front (I came before he did, so I know!), and it’d be nearer if he parked IN THE BOX!!!

His car was so big that it caused a congestion at the petrol station.  It was a really small petrol station and this fella made it worse!

Another picture

Damn these idiots!!
