I have always fascinated by these Egret birds. In front of my house there’s will always be flocks of Egret hanging around. It use to be just one or two of them few years ago but recently I notice they are getting more and more.

I have got my Canon L lens F4/70-200mm telephoto lens for a year now but I know I haven’t really get use to it. It’s a good lens but I still not making full use of this lens – sometime I blame this lens for getting a lousy blur photos. (I should blame my dumbness instead of blaming the tools)

Anyway, yesterday photo session was unique! I tried to freeze the in-flight birds and for the first time I did it pretty well (I have did that countless time in the pass, all failed). At least I am happy with the result and I know I still need lot of practice.

Check out the cloud that I shot, look like something!? I love the shot as it look like a ghost flying in the sky. I was lucky to have a helicopter fly by too…

I hope you have enjoy my in-flight entertainment

Love

I went to Panchor Hot Spring on Sunday. I believe not many people know about this place and that’s good! I have something to write about Amazing! This place is awesome!

I remember my time, my naked time in Japan. We were naked taking our hot bath from hot spring and it was awesome! Uh I remember the place where we wet our self, there was this beautiful Japanese gal doing the massage in a glass room! I thought that was really cool!

Panchor Hot Spring Kuching however nothing like Japan. You see trees and leaves and dirt and well you get the idea, every thing green! Absolutely amazing! If you love pure natural, this is the one place you must visit!

About 45KM from Sentosa, Kuching. The resort is new and there no other facilities, only changing room. The Hot Spring runs through a small Sungai (stream) with 42 – 43 Celsius. I did not try the Hot Spring but we were eager to know the eggs smell! My friends told me it does present a small amount of sulfur smell. I didn’t really smell it though…

We asked the head of the village En. Tapok, will he expend the business or making better facilities and he told us only with government support. I guess RM3 per head per entry that’s not going to be enough to do anything at all.

Check out my photos of Panchor Hot Spring, hope you enjoy it. I will add a video to this post when I am free so please book mark this post

Love

My mum use to boiled 2 red eggs with a fried chicken wing or drum for me every year when I was small. As I grew up, I guess I work too hard and travel too hard that the yearly ritual with red eggs stop for 13 years! I requested my mom to do it for me this year and I am grateful my mom still able to do that for me.

I like to thank all my friends and family who wishes me on my birthday. Only one word to describe you guys, AWESOME!

Love

Let me introduce you to the talented artist, Steph Jones!

Please download the song “The Little Drummer Boy” which is a remake from the classic and I totally love it!

Download MP3 to your PC or iPod

According to Steph in his blog, with this song he hopes to bring people together.

When me, Jordin Sparks and B Scott were marching with those drums I imagined us being on the frontline in a war and it was my way of saying that it doesn’t matter if you are man, women, gay or straight… We should all be able to come together and fight for a certain cause no matter who you are.. And once we truly figure that out then that’s when we grow as a people ~ Steph Jones

Also check out the official music video, which also co-stars Jordin Spark and B Scott. The making off the video is fun to watch too.

This is a Christmas spirit, making it available for FREE download also the GRAVITY Lifetape.

I am very happy with the all the songs. I hope you will enjoy all the songs and I think it’s important that you enjoy it as much as Steph Jones making it.

I like to say a BIG thank you to Steph Jones for making the music and thank you for allowing me to use the songs on my blog and also allowing my readers to download from here as well. You rock!

Now my friends go ahead and download all the songs and crank it up in your car!

For the first time, I wrote this blog in a hospital. My mom in law was in a hospital. Having a whole room for her seem to help her a little bit on stress.

Anyway, I did some thinking about

My Blog

1. MKL was doing a blog roundup for year 2009 and I think that’s cool! To check and balance and plan ahead for the New Year is what we need even in blogging.
2. I may need to reroute my blogging direction, maybe write sex story (Kidding Mmmkay). I find it funny to categorize some of my posts as “about me” I thought that way would explain who the hell I am? Do I need an “About Me” page? Who the hell cares? Do you? hahahaha
3. I need to redo my Blogrolling, the one that MKL do is fantastic! He slaps my handsome face on his blogroll and I feel good! I hope more girls message me their contacts
4. I update my blog lesser than I use to, I simply couldn’t manage myself. I left home @7.30am and reach home by 8pm daily. I respect Speedycat @Hollydale for 2 reasons. One, he is triple busy than me but he wrote 1 post a day without fail! Two, he still manage to visit my blog and comment on it without fail! I love you man! I wish you were a girl! I would make you my girlfriend! No? hahahaha
5. I am thinking to do mobile phones review next year. I am not sure why most people would just come up to me and ask me about phone. I guess they trust my judgments. So I’ll try to do it next year.
6. I like to thank my best friends for sticking with me through up and down this year. Thank you for helping me to get through my darkest year! Thank you for your constant encouragement Speedycat, Daisy, and Kim.

My life

1. 2009 has been a difficult year for me. I’ve lost my 6 years job in a bank and I think it probably the best thing that ever happen in my life. The stress is beautifully excruciating!
2. Here’s interesting part, I taught my sis and my mom how to do insulin injection! I have always been phobia with needle but being an elder’s in the family, I have no choice. (Thought to post the video but need some time to edit)
3. I learn how to read glucose level as well, again I just need to perform a fast needle poking and measure the blood on a meter, which is easy!
4. I am now well verse with hospital. I seem to know more about the hospital than banking line already!
5. Makes me think, I should be a doctor! All the beautiful nurses will be my girl friend.
6. I felt sick more often this year compare to my whole life records. I use to be very strong but this year my body aching so bad that I have to see western doctor and a Chinese physician.
7. So I learn that, stress, upset of losing job, some one sick in the family can make a healthy individual become physically sick as well.
8. I ask more questions about health to Silvy more than a server related problem this year. My big thank you to you XOXO hug hug.
9. I have attended at least 4 weddings and a baby full moon dinner this year! My friends ask me when would be my turn? I think that’s another stressful question.
10. I don’t think I am expressing myself very well here but I think the important thing in my life is like what Steve Jobs said, connecting the dots! I hope what I have done for the pass 10 years would eventually shape my destiny.

My heart is aching for those that are suffering from pain. I pray for you and I hope god would show us the cure to protect you.

Last but not least, stay healthy, love the one that love you and hate you, do more good things in your life, help the one that needs help and always love yourself.

Here’s Little Drummer Boy

I did not pay attention to Blackberry until Nicolekiss posing sexily beside a giant Xpax Blackberry for RM888. To me most Smartphone are a waste of time but the price for this one caught my attention. (yeah the posing caught my attention too!)

I have to give her the credit for poisoning me.

Why I said Smartphone are a waste of time?

1. I have always had the impression that the Smartphone OS is buggy.
2. Hardware is slow and crashes the OS often or vs. versa
3. I hate the waiting time for reboot and unexpected errors and hang time.
4. Not smart, multitasking or convincing enough for me to change phone

After using Blackberry for some time, the above… reasonably negligible.

I think the time has change and the technology we once knew has leap many folds. The developers and designers alike has work tirelessly finding new ways to make everything small, smart and fast enough to convince our expectation. The gist was packed into small devices like Blackberry Smartphone and still work fast and absolutely stunning!

So how small, smart and fast?

Lets us put multitasking into work! I totally master the squatting down doing my “business” in the toilet while still able to socialize on twitter and Facebook! By the way, the image you saw above? I ask that question while I turd! I certainly had a great time turd –ing (fast and smooth)!

Quick review of the phone features
I will only touch on the most important features that we will use on a day-to-day basis, my experience that is. For full list you may visit Blackberry website.

EDGE & Wi-Fi
This phone is not the fastest surfing phone ever unless you are on Wi-Fi but I still don’t think you should count on it. For Kuching folks, your BlackBerry will mostly on GPRS (bummer!). Unless you’re going outskirts, EDGE would mostly be available.

You should know by now this phone lack the most important capability, 3G! 3G networks cover most part of Sarawak so this phone is shy away from the real benefit.

QWERTY keyboard
Fantastico! I master it within less than 24hours. You should get use to it less than my time! What I am trying to say is that; don’t let the small space fool you! It’s that easy to use. I love the backlit on the keyboard. 100% Kick Ass!

BATTERY LIFE
For fully charged battery you can use it for about 8 hours. My MSN, Google Talk, Email push with 3 active accounts, Twitter and Facebook are running 24/7. Please take note! If you talk a lot and active with web applications (like I did with all the social network apps) you could kill your battery life by half. 100% Kick Ass!

TRACKPAD NAVIGATION
This is the first BlackBerry phone with a Trackpad! Trust me you will love it! I love it because it feels like Mac! (LOL) What a wonderful touch! 100% Kick Ass!

DISPLAY
This is just one usable screen, good enough for viewing. If you did not compare the colors with your friend’s phone: BlackBerry-to-BlackBerry or to iPhone you probably won’t notice the different.

CAMERA/VIDEO CAMERA
Good for Fun.

GPS/MAP
8520 models do not have GPS! If you are interested to have a GPS, you have to get 8530 models.

Email Push Technology
I am so impress with the push feature in the phone. As for normal user we probably will not be able to enjoy BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) which fetching your email and push to your devices instantly as soon as your mail arrive. This technology is one of the famous features that make BlackBerry unique.

Even without BES I still received my mail almost instantly without my intervention. 100% Kick Ass!

I will write a separate post on the many applications for social networking that truly kick ass for BlackBerry.

Celcom, Maxis and Digi are offering Blackberry but Celcom offer the best post paid plan. You get the phone for RM788 with monthly commitment fees of RM118. The breakdown of RM118 is RM50 for calls and SMS, RM38 for unlimited data and RM30 for Blackberry Internet Service. (BIS)

The BIS is a bit expensive but BIS is needed for your push email and online banking to work (example Maybank). Basically BIS provide a fix IP address to identify you and your devices. Word of advise, do not lose your phone!

Celcom BlackBerry 8520 RIM Gemini is one Kick Ass Smartphone! You really should get this phone if you want cheap and fully functional devices for your business. Replying your business email while on the move, chat and replying on your social network can really realize your dream of being work and play and the same time

I am not saying I don’t like the idea, I just have the feeling – “if I am the CEO I will not approved the acquisition of Friendster” it simply too expensive.

MOL business has excess annual revenue of USD1.8 billions a year thinks that Friendster is a good buy for USD100millions! Who actually convince Tan Sri Vincent Tan for this?

Don’t get me wrong, every business has their own fair share of personal financial interest that make the decision and that’s bring a big questions in my head. Why would Friendster is so important to MOL? Or be profitable to MOL?

Facebook has reached 350millions active users recently and I thought to myself, wow! I think it’s time Friendster to look for buyer and sell their social networking off before Facebook ripped them apart! True enough that someone is buying and that none the less a company from Malaysia!

WOW, How did I miss that one? I have never thought that would be coming! It does making Malaysia look good… for…errr… not sure for how long.

Google today worth 153.4 billions as of October 2009, offered a buyout for Friendster in 2003 for ONLY 30 millions! After the failed buyout, I have not heard Google attempt to buy.

I am trying to proof the point here, it has been 7 years and Friendster has only 115 millions users (check out their blog, it says 85 millions) while Facebook is at 350 millions. Guess what? Facebook launch their service 2 years later after Friendster holding the fame!

Friendster stay the same, the same design ever since! No direction and no sense of purpose. SPAM of porno links and graphic, hacks and each day more and more children uses Friendster (and bombarded with porno SPAM) and for a while every one of them leave Friendster for Facebook.

Tell me, why do I have the feeling that Friendster new design is a way to tell Malaysian, Thank you for buying?

Check out Friendster official blog, our PM tweet that link.

You guy knows that Friendster has his own blog platform,right? SURPRISE! Their official site uses Wordpress. How many comments? NONE! “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” Except Friendster users is not actively engaging with the company! This spell BAD business!

I hate Facebook, and I hate Facebook! However Facebook is not losing users, Friendster is! How will Friendster a profitable company?

Sell Friendster coins to 115 millions kids, will that help? Or play online game, MMORPG?

If I were a MMORPG user, why would I join Friendster just to play games?

I notice Friendster’s developer are not actively using the site APIs as much as Facebook! I haven’t seen any plugins or anything that can be use in blogs and websites. I haven’t seen my Friendster account flooded with messages inviting to play the games develop by 3rd party for Friendster!

Unless MOL has and ready to pay for the in-house think-tank and developer to revamp the site usefulness and the right direction, Friendster is going down real quick before you notice it.

What happen to ICQ?
