Say Hello to Macbook Air

It’s been years since I wanted a Mac, and I finally got one. I’m still exploring on how to fully utilize this piece of machinery especially with the Lion OS X. The love and hate relationship between the Mac and me is actually the learning curve. By the way, I got the Macbook Air 11″. I like the tiny form factor with decent performance.

Using Pixelmator. Almost similar to Photoshop.

There’s a few thing missing in the Macbook Air;

  1. “End” and “Home” button. These are really useful for me.
  2. There’s no real delete. In Windows, you have Back Space and Delete, both different function.
  3. Getting used to multi touch scrolling. Still teaching myself.
  4. Very small fonts. It’s kinda straining to the eyes despite the resolution.
  5. Disorientation of storing and accessing files.
  6. Small 128Gb hard disk space.
  7. Fan is loud if you put it on your lap.
  8. There are way… toooo… many short cuts.

I think I’ll write more when I can fully gather my thoughts. For now, let’s think about how to pay for this baby. Hahaha

ps: I’ve got a review unit of Galaxy Tab 10.1, who wants to touch? LOL

Selamat Berpuasa Dari NH

To Muslims, happy fasting. May this month be the best of many months.

Note: a Muslim is someone who is adhered to the five pillars of Islam. Jauh berbeza dari orang yang mengaku Islam, tapi sembahyang pon ingat-ingat lupa.

May God forgive us all. Amin.

ps: Negaraku buka puasa this weekend? Anyone?

Israel Flag on Malaysian Coin?

Have you ever heard about the pyramid on American Dollar? Apparently, no one knows why a Giza piece was there. Now, if that’s fucked up enough, have a look at our new Malaysian coin design.

“Motif reka bentuk duit syiling ini memaparkan keindahan alam semulajadi, flora dan fauna dan seni kraftangan tradisional yang terdapat di Malaysia,”

This is what Zeti said, Malaysian Bank Negara Governor.

Now why the f*ck is Israel flag on our coins? You tell me  other than replacing the good coins that’s filled with Malaysian elements like Wau, Congkak and Tepak Sirih? This is seriously f*cked up.

The Gym Membership

I personally think gym membership is the best way to rip people off with promises you’ll be in shape by year end. A 12 year old can come up with this marketing scheme.

I once joined gym. After a few months, I got to my desire weight and shape. It’s pretty easy if you’ve had similar routine and you know what works for you. The trouble surface when I want to quit. When I signed up, they told me I could quit anytime I like. That was the condition I had already pre-determined before penning down my ugly signature. It turns out, I need to continue to pay for the entire year even if I decided not to keep my membership.

This is ludicrous beyond wild boars! I still cancelled my membership and cancelled the credit card that was tied to it. Hahaha, who’s smarter now? (It was a crappy bank, and I had to manually transfer money to pay for it).

The time has come again, but this time, it’s not about me getting fit. It’s about the safety of my fiance.

She’s been complaining that she got hit on and some of them wait until she’s done with her session. I’m not even remotely insecure emotionally, but rather physically. What if this.. what if that.. the classic ‘what if-s’. The best advice I could give her is, don’t even bother when someone tries to chat with you. Is it enough to shoo away buaya darat?

It’s either she quits and becomes unhappy about her figure (which I think is marvelous already) or I join for a deduction of RM150 per month (I rather spend that money on golf! Hahaha). I need to move somewhere closer to the gym she frequents so I don’t get cramps on my drive back home.

Fasting month is just a few weeks away. Maybe I’ll consider after Eid-ul Fitr.

But if I were to join a gym, it’ll definitely be kick-boxing one. It’s the best all rounder exercise you can ever have, plus the ability to beat the crap out of anyone. I’m just saying, I don’t really want to hurt anyone.. for fun. I bet people in the wouldn’t dare to disagree with me. LOL

ps: I miss running on the school track.
