Gimme Angpau!

~Alamak, 1 month past already ar... kuat celaka!~

Here I go again, back at the ghetto, banging the keyboard, telling y'all
whatever crap I feel like it, hehehe. But, there's nothing to tell, really! Not
in here anyway, ahahaha!

Well, my 9800XT failed me the first thing I got back home, so suey. So, had to hog my lil sis' pc which made her perform her usual 'dance', as my mom often called it. Lion dance's more like it! Patient skit lah my young padawan, no tantrums please. Arimau danmonyet tidak ngam punya, apa bleh buat? Luckily, found a spare gc card and resuscitated my baby back the next day, phewh...

There's this one gizmo that I got my hands on which is worth a review in here... For my first product review (please don't flame me). I give you... (drum roll)

The Ipod Touch 8Gb.

This has gotta be one of the sleekest, sexiest out of the hoards of pointless gadgets ever made till date. Why not, it's only as thick as a plactic cd cover, or a Gempak mag, or 3 pieces of bak gua stacked together...... Anyway, less than half a cm thick (don't ask me for more pics, malas to take lar). Feel like nibbling on the damn thing. There're only 2 buttons on the whole thing, which makes it even cooler. A touchscreen makes additional buttons redundant, which brings me to this wicked part. You navigate through everything using only your fingers; type lar, surf web lar, turn up volume lar, macam-macam. E.g : spread your fingers apart to zoom in on photos, and vice versa, pretty neat stuff. Unless you have big, fat sausagey fingers, you're going to have hell of a 'fun' time working this thing out. Otherwise, you'll be fine.

The bundled pair of white earphones is not great but usable, producing clear highs, and mids. The day I stumbled upon a miracle called in-ear canal earphones, I've never looked back since. So, a definite replacement to come. After doing more than a couple hours on wi-fi, the juice didn't last as long as I expect it to be, which is kinda disappointing. Should have tested it out on full charge anyway. And I also thought the guys would omit out the mirror finish on the back of newer gen ipods. Apparently, they didn't, making it a friggin fingerprint magnet. Now the thing looks as if my slimy preschool couz has just fiddled around with it. And you would think to wipe it constantly. That's even worse, producing more and more hairline scratches! That's permanent, yo... FYI, 8gb is far from adequate to satiate my grooving needs, let alone my other 'ahem' medias (jangan pikir serong korang ar...). Well, being as irresistible as it is, all is forgiven... ahahaha.

Before I forget, wanna wish y'all a very Happy Chinese Nu Year and may it be another more prosperous year for us all, muahahaha. Gong Xi Fa Cai, Hongpau Nar Lai!

(Gotta stock up on 'Big Ground Thunder' and 'Colour Lighting' to blow my neighbours' kids away, kebabooom! More cash, plz...)
