Em's first concert, Genius Aulad Pre-school Convocation day

It feels like only yesterday i was on my nerves, rushing to the hospital for the delivery of my first newborn baby, and without noticing, he's already performing on his first school concert? Wow, time really flies. He's a big boy now, and surely proud of him. Not because what he did up on the stage, but for his willingness to even perform something up there on the stage in front of a very large crowd for his school. Thumbs up!

Btw, he's a few of the 5 year old students up there on the stage, i think there were only 6 of them. The rest were 6 year olds.



Didn't manage to get a perfect shot, but i think it was okay. Vid was taken by using EOS7D and it was pretty heavy to hold after 5 mins of recording videos without tripods. That should explains why the video was a bit shaky.

Nevertheless, it was a good event, and definitely will be a memory worth keeping, forever.

Two thumbs up Emmir, Papa is very proud of you.

A phone worth keeping.

Okay, i know what most would think. The iPhone 5s? Wrong!. Well, indeed the newest gadget from the renowned company Apple has just been launched merely 24hrs ago, but this thoughts are not meant for them. In fact, the launch is what actually trigger these thoughts, and well it seems, that hundreds of people around the world has just got the same thought.

Can there be a phone, worth keeping? Not requiring us to buy a new one every half a year just to get in pace with the overgrowing mobile smartphone technologies?

What the market of today need, is a phone, that applies a modular concept. Which means, that, an upgrade able phone. Yes that's right! just like the PC boys would do it. They just upgrade the required parts, in order to keep with the pace with newer technologies or software, or simply customize it to their requirements of everyday use.

Imagine, buying a phone, and customize it to your need. Need a longer battery life, put a bigger battery, need a powerful GPU for gaming, get the latest in the market, or just take a plain phone chasis which only capable of answering calls. That's what the market need.

One of the concept is already out there, which is called Phonebloks. The concept is totally awesome, if being applied, would be simply outstanding.

Here's the concept video:


So, let's go and support the Phonebloks. Visit their web, and make this a reality.

Something to ponder..

Well, this is something, only for Malaysian, and only a true working-class Malaysian would understand.

Written in Bahasa Melayu, it is about the RM0.20 / liter price increase for Petrol in Malaysia on midnight, 2nd September 2013. Whatever their reasons for increasing the price, these thoughts, were definitely worth for us to ponder of.

Kita bising minyak naik bukan kerana kita benci Malaysia.

Kita bising minyak naik bukan kerana kita tak mampu bayar.

Tapi...
Kita bising sebab janji tak serupa bikin.
Kita bising sebab kesiankan rakyat marhaen.
Memang kita berduit.
Memang kita berharta.

Namun,
jauh di pelusuk sana,
ada yang menghitung syiling.

Ada yang bekerja teruk terkontang kanting.
Mereka tak ada slip gaji.
Jauh sekali socso mahupun kwsp.Kerjanya keluar pagi balik dinihari.

Dan kalian pula berbicara indah persis pujangga metropolis?
Hanya 20 sen?
Itu pun nak bising?
Kerja lah lebih kuat lagi?
Beribadatlah lebih lagi?
Untuk dimurahkan rezeki?

Ya...
Sembang kalian sembang mereka yang berharta.
Sembang kalian sembang orang yang penuh wibawa.

Sedangkan ada mereka yang facebook pun tiada.
Motor buruk hanya tunggu masa.

Kerja lebih kuat dari si sarjana muda.

Kerja lebih ikhlas dari si phd mahupun master.

Hanya untuk mulut mereka sekeluarga.

Ya..
Mereka tak berharta.
Salah mereka kerana tidak berusaha di zaman muda.

Tapi adakah kita berilmu untuk menjadi penindas mereka?

Kalau itu sistem kehidupan.
Aku rela jadi bodoh dari kalian.Kerana aku taknak hilang perikemanusiaan.

Introducing - Your Smartphone's new Phone.

Yes that's right. I recently bumped into this new product on the market. It's amazing how technologies evolved these days.

First, there were large ATUR phones, then it gets even larger with additional batteries so that you can make your call longer. Then with the introduction of GSM cell phones, the device gets a bit smaller, then it bulks up again with the additional battery packs. Then came the era of change-able cover phones, and then was taken over by the flip phone being made popular by The Matrix movie. After that back to change-able covers, and now with an attached camera. Now it gets bulky again with all those features like camera, and torchlights.

Nostalgic 80s DOS games - Tapper

Well, i was kinda bored today, and kinda feeling nostalgic, so i end up browsing the great games of the past.

Fortunate enough, i found this one game (apart from many other games) that really amuses me during my childhood years. Well, not exactly childhood, but hey, it was during the early 90s, hippie years for me!

Enough said, here's the screenshot of it when i played it today -

Well the game is called Tapper, or originally called Beer Tapper, and then renamed to Root-beer Tapper, it was a simple game of a bartender trying to fulfill those crazy beer drinking hoots' lust of drinking all the beers you got in the shop, or at least something like that. Well, you'll try to fulfill everyone's need for beer, else they'll go nuts and bash you (yes, the bartender) against the mystery door that they came from. Entertaining isn't it? It's like the 80s version of Diner Dash, but in CGI CGA graphics, and PC speaker sounds and music, it was simply amusing.

Had to run it in the dos-box though, as it doesn't run in Win 7 or anything similar, and as you can see from the screen shot, i'll need to adjust the cpu speed to below 500 cycles for at least a decent gameplay.

So for this, there's only 2 words to describe it - Awesome, awesome. (or was it one word multiplied by 2? or should i say it as totally awesome? or extremely awesome? whatever it is, if u r a gamers or a geek from the 80s, u'll understand what i mean).
