Kuyadz is as kuyadz does

This Chinese New Year has got to be the most busy chinese new year I have ever gone through. Usually I would have at least 2-3 days of really moulding at home, rolling around trying to figure out what to even consider doing. but not this time. I believe my CNY this year was packed from the beginning to the end. a brief run down of activities are as follows.

Sunday – morning worship, 4.5 hour journey down to Melaka (thanks to a fake roadblock + an accident), 2 house visitation and drive back to KL. Went to my GF’s house for a short while then came home.

Monday – slept in a little, Kathleen’s house for open house, Jason’s house in the evening for dinner, David’s House at night until 3 am playin descent (mind you it was one after another)

Tuesday – 7:30am, woke up cause going biking to Putrajaya Challenge Park, back to David’s house for lunch and continue Descent, Vincent’s house for dinner,

Wednesday – Movie with Jason, Ada, Dillon, Mable. Lunch follows. Dinner at Jason’s (I think there is something else after that but I can’t remember)

Thursday – Met up with long time phone friend Cheryl Lim for breakfast + lunch. Low Yat to buy router cause it died. went home for a short bit, then went to look for Yvonne cause she is home from Bahau.

Friday – Mid Valley morning for Warhammer with my baby (Yvonne Yong), Lunch, (I am sure I did something here.)

Saturday – morning hike + swim, followed by AMP mingle then dinner, the go home

Sunday – morning worship, message, class, leader’s meeting, home to rest and get ready for work again.

talk about non stop hecticness man. Oh well, it does feel that I have done something worthwhile during my holidays. At least I got to do a lot of stuff and hung out with a lot of friends and stuff. But didn’t get to rest.

Just a little something awesome I saw right outside my house as I was getting out of my car. The sun rays were shining right through the clouds. It reminded me of when a good friend of mine, Jason said that one of the joys of having to walk is that you will notice these things. So for all you people who are so used to be vehicle bound, step out, take a breather, take a walk. It will do wonders for your soul for you to look around and admire God’s creation.

a ray of hope, flickers in the sky

Saw this outside IACT college at jaya one. Awesome sculpt and one side of it has acid burns by alien.

one side is burned by alien acid if you can see

Just some pictures of what I ate at gardens food court the other day. The shop owner is really korean. And the food is quite good though a bit pricey. Have a look.

this is the set I ate

grilled beef

kimchi soup

trying to be artistic

Saw a satay man with this shirt that says God I great. Man he got guts.

Was just at a clinic and the bodoh-est thing happened. As I was talking one of the nurses, a lady rushed in to say there is an emergency and someone had an accident. The nurses went “huh?” She then requested someone (preferably nurses who work there) to help the guy in and all the nurses just stood there and gawked. The lady asked again and they stood they gawking some more. What great help. So ended up some indian guy who was not feeling well and had a limp and myself went to carry him in. So sad that there wasn’t any sense of urgency. No wheel chair or even to help us open the door. Wonder why they became nurses in the first place.

these guys have never seen table top play.

Time to test if I can take a pictue that fits my blog’s dimensions

picture taken from my blackberry curve 8520

I am now testing my blackberry’s capabilities to update my blog. If this is successful, then there will be a lot of updates for my blog. I might even be able to do a one picture a day update.

go to that website, click the Blog fot FT logo below the post and help me vote for my girlfriend. tell all your friends too. tweeter it, blog it, facebook it. anything and everything. thanks guys.

The title states the name of my new phone. Second hand 3 month old from my sister who just upgraded to a Blackberry Bold. I got this phone for a steal. It was a little bit awkward as first trying to learn a new device (totally different from normal phones and PDA phones). It feels weird and awkwardly but after a while you kinda get a hang of it.

Blackberry Curve 8520

Some of the best features of this phones that I like is

1. optical track pad.

This is really awesome. I hate direction knobs and prefer 5 direction clickable but this really is a lot better. manuevering around the menus are smooth and a joyful experience.

2. Media Centre.

This is like very much as the video playback even supports .avi. and the resolution is really clear and crisp despite the phone’s screen actually being of lower Pixels than its bigger brothers. I watched Coraline in .avi format and the animation was just awesome. looking forward to watching more movies and series on the go.

3. Camera

with the option to immediately post pictures taken unto flicker and facebook, this option if really going to help me stay updated. epecially considering those who know me, know that I do not often update my blog or facebook. I am hoping this will help me update my blog more often.

4. Memory

being able to support up to 16GB micro SD card (which I have just bought and put in), I can now have tonnes of pictures, songs, movies, apps, and what nots in my phone that will keep me occupied and entertained while waiting for my doctors during work.

5. Weight

It is actually very light compared to my previous ASUS P527. Sometimes can’t even feel it in my pocket.

6. Battery Life

apparently it can be in standby mode for days and full usage can go on for like 2-3 days. have not really tried. will comment more when I have tested it out.

as of now, I have not gotten my Blackberry Internet Service and so will not comment (or rather am not able to comment) on all of the other applications like the facebook, youtube, emails and other stuff. The service should be activated somewhere tonight or tomorrow morning. Can’t wait. I have browsed some of the apps for blackberry and so far the free apps are somewhat better than those you gotta pay for. May be my requirement is weird. But even if you gotta buy an App, its not too expensive.

speaking of which, I WAS a Maxis subscriber but after getting the Blackberry, I have switched to DIGI. simply because the packages for DATA in Maxis is wayyy way to expensive. RM40 for 5MB, RM55 for 10MB andRM120 for unlimited, where for DIGI it is RM38 for 10MB (needs to be bolt onto at least a DG50) and RM58 for unlimited Blackberry Internet Services. check out below a comparison chart made by Daniel Lew (I found this on the net) for a quick and easy chart to compare.

apparently Celcom has a RM1 a day for BB services but I read in Lowyat.net forums that they always have connectivity problems and usually from 12am – 2am there will be service disruption and they always say upgrading service. so too bad and bye bye Celcom.
