unexpected encounter

I've been meeting up with a a lot of people lately. mostly people that i do not expect i would bump into.

For the last 2 days, I've met a few people from the 'squash training' that i joined when i was in high school. One of those few people is my coach, Aaron. It has been a very long time since i last play squash. Seeing them definitely brought back all those memories i had with my friends during our training few years ago. We definitely had fun gossiping and playing the game which i like that time (I still like squash, just that i can't find a place and a partner to play with). The strict training which we went through had made me a better person today (physically) =P . If it weren't for the training, I would have been a big fat pig now. suffering depression, obesity and worst of all, diabetics. Okie okie... i am just exaggerating. I would probably only suffer from obesity.

Then another memory come into my mind. The memory of when i had to play 2 tournaments in one day. One is the squash tournament and another my netball tournament. It was CRAZY! after i complete my squash match (where i know i can't play to my full energy and stamina) i have to change to my netball outfit and rush to the venue of my netball tournament. it was CRAZY. i don't know how i manage to do that, but i did! i survive! and at night, i had to attend tuition class. i don't know what tuition but i practically have tuition every single day. so that's just one of those days during my high school life. it was indeed an achievement. i don't know where i get the power and strength to do all those stuff....

n then it reminds me again bout the scar on my leg. that time i had to run to get to my training session on time if not i'll get punish (extra laps during stamina training session) . and because of that, i was running as fast as my leg could carry me from the bus stop to the training centre. during that time, there was a renovation going on at the centre and i got a super huge cut from the rusty metal thingy (i think its the metal thingy they use for the base of the floors). thank god i did not suffer any disease from the rusty metal.

every time when i don't expect to meet up with anybody, i'll end up meeting someone. every time when i am looking at my worst stage, i'll end up meeting with people who i don't want to meet at that time. God help!

Anyway, it is all part of god's plan.

keynote ended

yup. steve's keynote just ended and that is one of the reason i am blogging at this time. its 2.38am now.. n i am still online.. blogging..

today, Steve introduced only 10 features out of 300 new features he promised that is going to be in Leopard. it has a whole new look and i can't wait to get a close up look on it. so at the moment, i'll just have to wait.

as predicted, there was "one more thing". It has been a trademark of Steve Job's in every keynote and it has been his famous quote. Everyone who know him, will know about his special quote 'one more thing'. He introduced Safari on Windows this time around as his 'one more thing' which i am kinda dissapointed at. I was thinking it was something bigger than that, but i was wrong.

i am actually blogging this post here using the new Safari on my cousin's pc laptop which is an Acer.A very lousy one but it still works super duper fine. Way to go Safari!!! it has the famous private browsing. no history no cache! try safari today!

One last thing (as predicted), he introduce iPhone and state that iPhone will be available in US on 29th June at 6pm. Demo a few stuff about iPhone and the keynotes ended.

it is not a historical day, but it is definitely a day worthy of me to blog about. after all, it is this day that Steve show the new interface of leopard and it is this date that Safari is made availble to windows user! download your Sarafi here.

my first entry was published

... in DCM

got my DCM today. I grabbed 3 copies (for my Indonesian friends) of it from myNews.com at Queensbay. I checked out the hotshots section first, and i didn't see my picture there. So i was sad.. but not really disappointed because i know my standard is not there yet. there's much more out there for me to improve and afterall, i am still a beginner and i don't have the equipments that most photographers have out there. For example, fill in flash. So i didnt feel really that bad...

then at home... while i was having my late supper, i was almost chocked to death when i turn the pages and i reached a new section of the magazine and i saw my picture there!
THEY PUBLISHED IT! my picture is in DCM! my favourite magazine at the moment!
no i did not win any prize. i just got a few comment and critiques from the professionals. It is good that i get comments because i know i can always improve from there. some of their comments are exactly what i think, but i disagree with one of their comment where they suggest me that i should take the picture from another angle. if i were to take my picture from another angle, the picture would have been very different and i wouldn't be able to achieve what my pictures is meant to do.

Marli, if you are reading this...i would like you to know that thanks alot for your help. That picture wouldn't have been taken without your assist in pouring the water. Since i did not win any prize, i can't treat you d! sad huh?

i am goin to try out their mission for this month which is about water. if you want to see my pictures, grab a copy of Digital Camera Magazine today. it is only RM8.

still sick

well... if u visit me today n a few more days from now while i am working, you will get your chance of a lifetime to listen to my sexy voice! ahahhahaha FYI, i've been sick for 1 week already. Sore throat, cough and phlegm. I think i talk more when i am sick... is it normal? LOL. i think i crap alot there few days... mayb it is due to my sickness that produce more crappy hormons for me to crap more.

and i am geting crazy too. have been desperately searching and waiting for the new copy of DCM.(Refer to the picture on the left). Went to MPH and Popular at Gurney today but i can't find any copy there. Not even the previous month. Tips on wedding, portraits and landscape! Going to hunt for it again tomorrow at Borders tomorrow! I am really desperate to get my hands on that issue. Sooo desperate that i got another copy of CLICK which I bought it before last month at Midvalley. Crazy right? yea i know. it is me and my obsession on photography! Hopefully it is not "hot, hot, chicken shit" (hangat, hangat tahi ayam). I am really into photography, but i don't want to go out alone to take pictures. It is dangerous u know for me to walk around with my baby.

ah Yeah.. update... the new Macbook Pro is out last night.Feel super sorry for that Jason dude who bought the old specs last night (the same night the new specs was launch in US). He bought it i think 1 or 2 hours after apple update it on their website. We didn't know and he needs a system urgently. So don't think he will feel sad or anything.

The new MBP now comes with 2.2GHz and 2.4GHz core 2 duo processor with 2G memory with NVIDIA graphic card. and best of all, they are the first laptop or LCD display in the world that uses a mercury free display with LED backlight (that means the screen will not kaput easily). more detailed specs coming soon! Wait up!

today

what should i blog today? i have alot of things to talk and blog.. but i don't know where i should start...

today, an american man, around his mid 30s (i think so) asked me out for supper or lunch and i (like always)....i rejected. Rejecting has become my habit lately i guess. i keep on rejecting people. First the job that i was offered and now a free supper. He's not that ugly looking (my colleague said that he's good looking) but then... well, man at his age "have expectations"! Mummy said that i shouldn't go out with strangers. ahahhaha c i am such a good gal! i listen and obey her order! i think he's rich lar. he said macbook pro 17" price is affordable! Ahhh... who cares he's rich or not... i am not interested and it is non on my business.

another thing happen today while i was at work today. Saw the pics of the new wacom guy they hired for demo on weekends doing his demo-ing. I didn't know it was my cousin bro until my colleague showed me a close up pic of him. i am 99% sure he's my cousin bro but 1% in me tells me he's not. if he is my cousin, i didn't know he can draw so well and now he's working part time in the same company i am working at. How small can the world gets?

the crumpler bag is still around. no one bought it yet! taking my baby for a "clothes testing" tomorrow. wanna test whether my baby fits into that "6 million dollar" (the crumpler model name) anot.

oki, that's for now. i am going to bed. working 10hrs tomorrow.

sexism

why is men discriminating women? Aren't we leaving in a world today, where men and women should be of equal standard? i thought i was living in that world, but i was wrong. Men is still looking down on what women can do and their contribution to the society. They think that we are the weaker sex. We are the fairer sex, but we are NOT the weaker gender. I know there are certain areas where women and men excel respectively, but we should be treated equally.

I just don't understand why people thinks that men should be better in technical area? Every customer call in seek for a male salesperson to talk to when they are facing technical problems. but what makes them think that they can't ask a woman and why a girl can't help them to solve technical issues?

Well, in short, men still don't trust women in technical issues or maybe it is the EGO issue where they think they know more than woman. Well... issit true?

First AppleTV sold!

i sold an apple tv today! my first apple tv sales! hooray!

actually i don't really know how to operate that machine well because it is a new gadget and i didn't really spend much time playing with it yet. i just know that it is able to be connected to the wireless network (internet), sync with a primary Mac, streaming content from other macs and it has a 40GB hard disc with an intel processor in it. i know that it is able too play digital content such as music, photos and videos and podcast.... will tell u more some other time.. maybe in my review section...

i sold 3 v-moda headphones today! 2 of them is v-moda modaphones vibe! Vibe is the best headphone i have tried so far! VERY VERY good quality. u got to try it yourself! It is really good! i thought sennheiser PX200 was good, but this is even BETTER. i luv that headphone alot personally. i would get one pair for myself... IF i have the money. its not cheap you know dude. it is RM439! i wish it will drop from heaven together with my iPod PRODUCT Red!

Film

Met a photographer at work today. He bought a bag from me, and we chatted and i found out that he's a nikon user as well. A nice guy to chat with and most importantly, i found out from him where i can get the film for my manual photography already. Since i am borrowing my uncle's manual slr, my only problem was getting the film. but it is solve now. My customer told me that i can get it at one of the photo shop at Penang Road. I wanted to go there, but thought they wouldn't have. It's that shop that my grandpa used to have his pictures taken. Yea... so u get the picture now.. that shop is .. OLD! very old! since my grandpa died... 15 years ago..

okie.. its time .... i better stop now.. i got to go close the shop now.... i am blogging this from work!
