3-1

I love Pro Evolution Soccer.

Wait, iPhone apps from iTunes’ AppStore?

Yes. I have recently upgraded (jailbroken and unlocked =)) my iPhone firmware to the latest 2.0 version, which is similar to the one that comes with the 3G iPhone released on July 11th. This firmware version includes AppStore app which allows you to purchase and download apps that are currently available. I have yet to take a picture of my iPhone springboard (sorta like desktop).

Man, I love my iPhone. It’s seven months old but things just started to get much more interesting. This is just the beginning to show how powerful an iPhone can be. It’s potential completely pwn all mobile phones, believe it or not.

Oh well, here I am again. I love WordPress now. Why? Because I’m writing this post straight from my iPhone! No, not through the Safari web browser but a standalone WordPress app that I just downloaded and installed from iTunes’ AppStore. This is such a sick app, which means that I can just write posts from anywhere.

I just hope that new blogging apps will be up soon especially one that supports my current blog. Because that would be super awesome. But for now, lemme have fun with this new app and produce a couple of posts!

Not. Really. I’m free like a bird.

Man, this blog is dead. I see how WordPress has improved with the Dashboard layout but I don’t know it just doesn’t suit my taste much lately. One thing that disappoints me most is the inability to design the theme completely. Boring. So am I going back to Blogger now? Haha no way. I mean I tried. But no way. I do love to learn about XML coding but I just don’t have the time now.

However, I am still active blogging. It’s just not here or there but somewhere else, where I can get anonymous publicity because that is what keeps me going. Truth! I believe this way I could revive all the things that I have been doing for the past few years as well as new things. But if you do stumble across me sooner or later, leave me a note over there

And that is it for now.

Adios.

Remember my Gadgetry Wishlist?

Well, I got my third wish granted. No, not the third on the list but rather fourth =p My girlfriend actually bought me a PS3 for my birthday! She asked me what I wanted for my birthday this year and I jokingly said a PS3, among other things too. Wow, I couldn’t believe she actually bought it for real. No wonder she was all excited about it while I didn’t actually expect anything. Thanks so much baby for the gift. It’s the best thing ever =p Hehe sorry because I’ve been hooked too much playing games with it. You know I love you.

So yeah, I’ve turned 21 this year. That number scares me. It’s huge! Although somehow I still feel like 19 =p and I don’t know why. May this year bring more luck, love, bless, well-being and all the good things in life.

Tajus and Mizah bought me my first PS3 game; Guitar Hero III with a guitar set. It’s awesome! So far I’ve completed all the songs in the Medium level and I’ve done a couple in Hard mode. For the last few days I’ve already bought a couple of new games too. One of them is the most hyped Grand Theft Auto IV. I bought it last weekend and it’s actually pretty good. I’d give it 7.5/10 since I’m not quite a GTA fan to be honest - I’ve played all GTA series before but didn’t actually finish any. I also bought Call of Duty 4 and the game is amazing. I love the online multiplayer mode. I spent 80% of the time playing the game online. I’ve finished the single player mode on Veteran level though. And the other game that I’m hooked with is the Metal Gear Online ß. I get a “sneak-peek” preview of how the gameplay of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4 will be like. Based from MGO, I’d give it 8/10.

Oh man, I better stop. My exam starts on Wednesday next week. Yikes.

I went to bed just right after 12am and everything was just settling down as I shut down and fell asleep. I thought I had just laid my eyes for one second and before I even knew it, my bed started to shake. I was half-awake when it happened. I didn’t know what it was at first. I heard rattling sound in my room but since there is a rail track just behind my house, I tend to feel a little vibration everytime trains pass by, so I thought it was just another one. But this time it was no little vibration. It felt like my bed was moving back and forth and the rattling was loud. It lasted about 10 seconds, maybe more. It was too good to be true. Did I just experience an earthquake?

It turned out that I wasn’t the only one who felt it. My housemates downstairs felt it too. Alhamdulillah, thank God that the tremors weren’t strong enough to wreck havoc. Soon after, I went googling about it to find out whether there was any earthquake warnings beforehand but only to find a zero result until BBC posted an article regarding this a couple of minutes later.

Epicentre: Market Rasen, Lincolnshire
Richter-Scale: 5.3

I’m quite surprised to find out how close the epicentre is from where I live in Nottingham - about 90-100km away. This means we’re one of the closest cities from the epicentre. The report says that it is one of the biggest earthquake recorded in 25 years in the UK.

I’m not sure whether its the most exciting or frightening thing I have ever experienced, but one thing that only matters is everyone is safe and sound around here.

P.S.: Mom, dad and family in Brunei, need not to worry. I’m fine and so is everyone else.

I finally did it! I solved my first 3×3 Rubik’s cube! Well, my gf solved it first beforehand so props to her =) Man, that took me like forever. I bought the cube in June last year but solved it only six months later. Six months? The world record is like what, 9.55 seconds? My time? A staggering 18,489,600 seconds - although assuming I’m playing with the cube continuously over six months, which if I did, I must really be that stupid. I give up too easily when it comes to puzzles. The longest I could play around with the Rubik’s cube at one time is probably 10-15 minutes before getting puzzled and give up.

Yep, I’ve redone the header image. I just love the picture. You can actually see the flying pigeon on the very right approaching my hand. There were so many of them and they were seriously eager - unlike pigeons in the UK, very shy. At times I got four to five pigeons landed on my hands, shoulders and even on the head - had to shake them off. It was quite an experience for me. This picture was taken at San Marco in Venice, precisely where the Italian Job movie was filmed in the first few minutes, when John (Donald Sutherland) calls up his daughter Stella (Charlize Theron) about a gift he was posting to her, right before Charlie (Mark Wahlberg) first appears. I read somewhere that Italian Job 2 will be in 2009, which will also be known as the Brazilian Job in the US.

Oh, I’m going to Paris this coming Easter holiday! I have just managed to book a hotel today which is located just 500 metres away from the Eiffel Tower! I’m so ecstatic about it and that’s two months to go. =)

Having a long gap between exam papers can sometimes be annoying because I’m a last-minute person and I know that I won’t be doing much until the very last few days. The first few days after a paper is when the boredom and procrastination kick in. I think I’ve watched every single TV show and Movie in my hard drive, hence, I ain’t got nothing to entertain myself. So I went browsing for shows to stream over the internet and Dexter really got me hooked. I know the series has ended. The first four episodes in season one I’ve watched so far were awfully awesome. I love the music on the opening scene in episode three and four, very catchy and I even made it as my ringtone.

I have one more paper to go and guess what? It’s astronomy. And guess what? it’s tomorrow, on a freakin’ weekend! And and guess what? It’s at 4.30pm. Silly eh. I think I better get back to my revision now. Astronomy stuff is really fun. I think Imma be an astronomer.

Later~

1. Apple iPhone

The first time when I said I wanted an iPhone was in February last year (Click here). Now it’s been almost a year and I finally got it!

2. Canon EOS 400D

Just a little hobby of mine which I have yet to explore. And getting this camera would be a start.

3. Optoma HD720X - HD Projector

I figured it would be wiser to get an HD Projector instead of a high definition TV since it is a lot more portable, they are about the same price and you’d get a better home-cinema experience. It’s just that it doesn’t come with speakers but there are many affordable 5-in-1 speakers out there. That should do it.

4. PS3

This is the next thing that I would get after (if) I own the HD Projector simply because it requires HD output. I’m really looking forward to the release of Metal Gear Solid 4, which won’t be happening soon. It was either Wii or Xbox 360 but since my friends have already got them so maybe I should get PS3 instead since the price has dropped significantly.

5. MacBook Air

They say it’s the world’s thinnest notebook. I can’t argue anymore. Even its thickest part (0.76 inches) is still thinner than Sony Vaio’s thinnest bit (0.80 inches). This has made my MacBook look fat and bulky now. How the hell did they manage to put a Mac inside that manila-sized notebook? It’s just amazing and simply beautiful. But, I don’t need a new one right now. Not anytime soon. I’m pretty much happy with my MacBook, although still running Tiger OS. I’m planning to upgrade it to Leopard soon though.
