SHOW OFF: 3 devices I'm carrying - iPhone, Bold and Dream

Yup, i have switched camp, from Blackberry to iPhone. After more than a year with my faithful and most trustworthy devide- Bold 9000 i decided to get an iPhone instead. I no longer suffer from berryaddiction. I am good for now.

I have always love how i retrieve mails and reply mails on my BB, the keypad is like the best thing in world. My typo rate was like so damn low and i can type while i am driving (which is something i should not be proud of).

Why i switch ?

• I love the apps – from games to productivity. Basically you can get everything on an iPhone – looking for a sit or squat toilet you can get your bearings from SitOrSquat and there are heaps of sex apps for you if lack creativity in bed. Seriously so many.So many silly ones as well.
• Being productive - i love short cuts, i love working smart, i hate working hard. Half the time i am trying to work less and sleep more. Getting an iPhone did help me a lil. I m starting to get organised with the help of that iPhone of mine. Currently managing 3 accounts with iWallet which i actually paid $2.99 for it, but i do not recommend it, many better ones out there. Evernote is another app that i am starting to use soon for note taking on the go.
• Photog wannabe – i must admit camera and photography app played a major factor in my iPhone purchase. I fell in love instantly with Hipstamatic , how can you not love it ? It’s truly awesome! Other good photography apps – Project 365 (i fail in this area), PS Mobile, QuadCamera and ToyCamera. It feels like i m carrying 1032 cameras at once.For the moment my Diana F and A300 is sitting in my Lowepro bag, i miss them tho.



• Sleep therapy - getting to bed is a challenge to me. To put myself to sleep i play dumb games like Championship Manager 2010 and of course the ever annoying (but highly addictive) Angry Bird.



• Trying to be intelligent – now with iPhone i can read anywhere as long as i have that 2 minutes. Get my sports fix from EuroSport and tech news from Mashable and some WC 2010 apps to keep me updated for the next one month.
• Staying in touch – i still love Ubertwitter but i am using a cracked SimplyTweet for my Twitter activities. Chose this app over other because this app offers push notifications. FB app for iPhone is better than the one on BB. Foursquare (for retards) is on my device as well.
• BORING – i must secretly admit that i was kinda bored with BB and i was giving myself so many stupid reasons to get an iPhone. This has to be like the biggest factor in buying an iPhone.

Do i need to explain more? Will share more in the future.

Elvis Presley once said – the world is a stage.

When the stage is set, you need someone to do the magic.

Humble. Such a simple word. So many of us forget.

Again I am lucky that i can meet shitty people. So lucky that i see that person everyday. Every single day he serve as a reminder to me.

Imagine.

It is funny to see someone doing jobs that was previously done by his staffs but he has to do it all by himself. When you are the ‘boss’ one must never forget where are the roots. Roots are the one holding you so that you get the sun, they are the provider of the tree.

You can verbally trash your people, you can treat them like a mongrel, you can do whatever you want BUT without them you will have to do those jobs yourself. This is what happened today. It is a fact and you can never deny that.

It’s sad and pathetic to see such happenings but i still can laugh over it, because i’m cruel. God created Karma for a reason. Yes you can ill treat people today and tomorrow, but remember – tomorrow is not the last day. There is always the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the day where one person will have the last laugh.

You may not know when the tree will fall, if it ever fall, you still need those roots.

So…please be humble. It does not hurt to be humble.

I want to have that last laugh.

#FAIL habis koyak.

Nuff said. Kesian this fella.

Yes he is my friend.

This is what you can do with not much money.

I felt humbled and i appreciate what i have after seeing what happened at work yesterday. God allowed me to meet him for a reason i guess. Yesterday’s meeting and this blog post will serve as a reminder to myself. My Idol

I was setting up for our property fair when i met this Malay gentleman. He is one of our customer’s contractor. To me he is one of the most special people i met in my life. Why ? He has a cleft lips and also he has only one palm. He do more than what we normally do. What makes him so special ? Without a palm, and with ease he carried large advertising boards, climb the ladder, and install what was needed. He did it just like anyone else, one thing for sure he sure did it better than me. I do not see any incapability when he carried out his job. His lips conditions does not allow him to speak well but i can see that he was doing his best to communicate with his colleagues.

I have the most respect for such person, someone who is so determine, someone who has the emotional strength to overcome all his disability but i truly believe that he does not see himself as a disabled person. He could have opt for something easier or just beg, he chose to work just like you and me. Kudos.

After meeting him, i guess i am one of the luckiest person even though i did not have the best childhood, i do not drive a BMW, i don’t own an Armani suit or anything fancy. I am grateful of what i have. I will always be.

We must feel lucky that we can wake up to a steady job (even though we might hate the job) compared to someone who is bedridden – his bed is his world. We must be thankful that we have laundries and dishes to do, many  has got no cloth covering their body or can’t even have a meal a day.

There are so many reasons for us to feel lucky but often we choose to not to see it that way, instead chasing something we do not have and letting go what we have on hand.

This man in the video is surely someone all should respect. Watch it again if you have watched it because I am sure how must have forgotten how lucky you are. Enjoy.

If a man can’t move your heart, hope Faith can wake you up. Another amazing video.

Remember, it’s easy to complain and compare but there any many people who wish they are like us. Ask yourself, have you done anything nice today? Go do it because it is so worth it!

I hope you feel as lucky as me.

Social media is everywhere. Jerks are everywhere in social media. You can’t run away from them if you are in Facebook , Twitter or the obsolete Malaysian product – Friendster, blogging world or any other shitty platforms.

Let’s start..
The Meal Reporter

Damn. I know we all love food but you don’t have to tell us everytime you eat something. If you seriously want to share what you want to eat, lets do it this way,lets play a game – take a snapshot of your poop and let us guess what you had.

3 friends of yours might be interested, the rest of 5643 aren’t interested.Com’on we don’t need to know what you eat all the time.

Cheapo Advertisers

I love it when people tag me in photos, but i am not a camera, a bra or panties, car or anything else. I am me but occasionally if you tag me as a oversize hippo or dogs with skin disease i can still accept.

Tagging me with your products is still OK but the worst part is when people start posting comments or questions to the photo, and these notifications comes into my inbox. It makes me feel like a superstar whenever i access my inbox – 1,983 Facebook notifications telling me someone commented a photo of myself and those comment will be like – ^^ Wah…so cute . how much is the BlacK PanTies witH 4 pinK ribbonS and 2 strewBearries ? I want i want *giggle* .
Facebook is a cheap way of advertising, pls la..dun get any cheaper. Send private messages la. Again, i don’t want to be a bra or panties. Sial.

FML PPL

WTF is wrong with FML ppl ? FML tweets and status are all over and to be honest none of them deserves a FML. Don’t tweet FML just because the weather is hot, your hair is not straight, just because you can’t attend a party, or even doing laundry.
If you think the above is so FML then what about the people in Haiti? Double Fuck My Life? or Triple?
What about people who has no hair due to some illness? Also ask them to fuck their life?
You can then ask your mama or maid to double triple FML coz they are the ones who have been doing your laundry all these years. I don’t see my mum FML or complaining. Don’t wash your clothes if it is such a FML moment for you.
Before you FML, please think. Life is a bitch, so are we.

SSP (Shameless Self Promoters)

We are all guilty of this trait, but the questions is how shameless are you. Too much of yourself is actually bad for you who may not know and still find it cool to spam people with -
I’ve just posted a blog about my 27″ MacBook which i spend RM7599 on and i am loving it so much.
Ya we know you are excited but do us all a favour, don’t over do it.
Too much status updates reminds me of the lunatic man in town who talks and pee at the wall. Somethings are not meant to be shared to all. Not everybody wants to know what you have, what you did, where you went, who you hung out with last night…just keep it low.

Posers

See and watch. Need no description.

The Mother (Father) Account

I added you because i wanted to connect with you in FB & Twitter and i read your blog because you lead an interesting life. 9 months later, you got yourself a cute baby after an unplanned steamy session with your husband (wife) and now i am following your newborn in Facebook, Twitter and blog. Funny thing is that those accounts are still under your name. I am confused now. Am i following you or your baby?
It is a joy to have baby, it is wonderful to tell the world how swollen your nipple is during your confinement bla bla bla.. but bear in mind, i added you because of you.

My suggestion – get a FB, Twitter and blog for your newborn.

Kawaii and the famous 45⁰

Can i conclude that Asians lack of creativity when it comes to taking self portraits? Lots of pictures esp. girls are taken using their bling bling mobile with 45⁰ above their head with a ‘V’ sign and super cute pout face.

That’s it for now. Call me a hater. I am cool with it because i am partially guilty of these social media crime.

Most of us spend lots of time in the office filled with humans, some are nice people some are just born jerks. We can’t avoid them. I am writing this based on what has pissed me off during office hours.

Here are some of them :

Blasting ring tones – Set your ring tones to level 5 or more and choose some high pitch annoying ring tones. Alternatively you can select and play thru your ringtones selection during office hours.

‘Hello’ loudly – Say HELLO as if you are shouting at your 80 years old grandmother across a busy street.
Boss ar boss – When your boss walk in, say – Boss ar Boss, keep on calling Boss ar Boss every time you need to call your boss. In no time, you will be labeled Ass Licker or Shoe Polisher.

Wet the toilet – Proof to your colleagues how big was your ‘business’ in the toilet. Wet the entire toilet floor with water hose after your answer to nature’s call. They will have to tip toe and get their socks wet every time they go to the toilet. Leave some chocolate residues if possible.

Don’t refill the water – Always attempt to be the last one filling up your mug or bottle and emptying the water tank. Be the first one to refill whenever your colleague replace the water tank. Show them you are here to take and not give.
Removing your shoes – Attempt to trip your  colleagues by removing your shoes right in the middle of doorway. It will be funny if they fall.

Wrong paper size – Deliberately set the wrong paper size and print it and the printer will just go teeeeeet. In the mean time, go take a dump in the toilet.

Speak with slang and bad grammar – Hies, my names iss Makesmesucks and I am the callings froms Kedais Runcits Goods. Mays I orders 6 packets of Cintan mees from yours warehouse thats days one.Whens you sends comes the Cintan mees?  Thanks yous verys muchs and byes.

Hyena ‘hihihi’ laughs – A typical scenario in my office – Hey you know ar…hihihi.. i saw 3 tortoises ar…hihihihi..trying to hump a rabbit just now..hihihihihi…it was like the hor… like the hihihihihi…then hor the rabbit hor hihihihi… When this happens i just feel like slapping that fella silly. No wonder communication is so bad. In the scale of lameness, this sort of people will 9/10.  Seriously what is so funny? It is only tortoise trying to hump a rabbit.

Well… what i mention above managed to annoy me. If you have some of those habits, please warn me so that i can stay away from you.

Be considerate to your colleagues.

Visiting certain website daily has became a chore or routine to me. There are some websites that i just need to visit everyday, not once but multiple time. Surfing sessions are never complete without a visit to some of the sites.Google and Facebook is excluded simply because they are too ‘evil’ but they are my second home.

For now,here are some of my daily visit.

Soccernet

Soccernet.com is my ultimate fix for all my football news need. Swear, i visit this site atleast 3 times a day whenever i am connected. It is only football but yeah i am so addicted to this site and i must admit i read football more than watching football.

Lifehacker

Lifehacker.com is like a bible. Computing tips, useful downloads, whats new, life hack, and getting organised are just some of many cool categories in this life hacking site. Tips from this site might just save you some time. Worth browsing for most of us.

Office Snapshots

I have an obsession with office designs and layouts. Looking at pics at Office Snapshots gives me idea on what to do for my future office. I just wish that authors can update this site more regularly with lower res pics coz our #streamyxsucks to the core.

The Sun UK

Boobs.Babes.Balls.British. The Sun reports some of the hottest celeb gossips around. Lots of football rumours as well.

Kevin Rose

He is my idol- Kevin Rose. Been following him since his days in TechTv and TheBroken.org. The only problem with this bugger is that he rarely update his blog for obvious reasons i suppose – too busy. He shares his insights and predictions mostly about tech and social media. Funny enough, he was the first person i followed on Twitter. Love his taste in sneakers.

Josh Spear

Everything here is cool and fresh. Josh Spear keeps me updated with the latest lifestyle trend. If you have something for unique stuff , this is where you’ll find it.

The Cool Hunter

This is one site that i will go WOW!!! The Cool Hunter showcase heaps of out of the world artsy fartsy stuff and my first visit to this site was like a drug addiction. One visit is good enough to get you hooked. Visit with caution and be amazed with what awaits you.

Till then, more to come. Share with me what are your must visit sites.

This will be another self promo and siok sendiri blog post to keep Lazy Bug to Blog away for the time being.

Basically i am someone who is always on the move and suffer from ‘Need to Be Connected Syndrome (NBCS)’. I have and addiction but till now, i would say its still manageable and my condition is actually improving quite steadily lately.

Things, gadgets and apps i use daily are:

Blackberry Bold and of course with data package. I have 8 email accounts tied to my BB. Yes it is a lot and i must say most of the time these accounts are redundant, but again i paid for 10.Smartphones without data is just like owning a sports car and not being able to fill petrol – totally lame. In addition, i carry 2 other phones. Ya i guess its a lil too much.

On my BB, Ubertwitter is always on for the obvious reasons. I get my updates on tech, news, politics and connect to people here. If you are not on Twitter i just think you are so #yorais. Don’t get what does #yorais mean? Hmm..

TxtForward deserves some recognition. What this simple app does it that it will automatically forward a copy of every SMS to a selected email account. Recommend to forward to a dedicated account so your mailbox will never be flooded with SMS such as – TAIP 35584 untuk muat turun gambar XXX saya yang terbaru.

Lenovo 3000 G230 and MacBook 13″ are my other work and leisure tool. I have the best of both world – Windows and Mac but my pick will always be Mac. Lenovo is more for work while with my Mac, i do some minor photo editing and personal stuff.  Data are back up with a 250GB & 500GB external hardisk and 2 8GB Kingston USB drives.

Mails and more mails are read and replied using the unstable but super popular Outlook 2007 on Windows and Mail on that white beauty of mine. Both are synced using Google Calendar Sync App and also with one of my favourite app called Google ‘Awesome’ Sync for Mobile which does not only sync your calendar but also your entire phone book. Worry not if you ever lose your phone, you will only lose money not contacts.

Tweetdeck is always on. One of the most powerful and simple Twitter app for everyone. Need no explainations. Recommended for all.

Manual and any quick note taking will be on my 2 lovely Moleskines – 2010 Daily Planner ‘wrapped’ with Gin & Jacqie and Square Note Book. Moleskines are just so classy and nice.  You should get one, just forget about the price tag. GTD is the way to go.

To ‘wrap’ them all up i use a  Nike Core Laptop Messenger . Why so? Cheap & awkwardly outstanding. I must admit i secretly have something for bags and sneakers. It that normal?

Tell me what are the things, gadgets and apps you need everyday. Like to know.
