Exploring my PS3

The keyboard is slow

very pixalated

Forget PPS...This is way way better

I usually use my PS3 for gaming only, but now i've found another way to utilise it. All this while i had been playing games on my PS3 only because the built in wifi antenna of the PS3 is so crappy that i have to either move the router or the ps3 around my house just to get a signal. I got fed up with moving my ps3 around my house, so eventually i surrendered and used it for offline purpose only.

Since i've moved to a new office recently, i've managed to salve miles and miles of ethernet cables that i can used to hook my router to my PS3. The result is stable internet connection. So stable infact that i've stop using my laptop to stream movies. The only drawback with using the PS3 as a network TV is the inability to watch HD videos. I have to use youtube's XML (TV version of youtube) to watch non HD content. Videos that played so well on my PC, becomes very pixelated on the TV. I've read thru the web that youtube had specifically made a site for PS3 users called ps3.youtube.com . I've tried that but it seems like some HD videos still gives errors.

The conclusion is don't use your PS3 as a media player, but if you still want to do it, please install UBUNTU into it. This OS installation will turn your PS3 into a full fledge PC.

Wohoo, the NOKIA E7 is finally out

OMG, nokia had gone big screen this time around. With 4 inch of display area, it might well be the company's flagship model.

I've already seen the device itself in Maxis centre, becasue it is the most stunning ones you'll ever gonna notice there.  Its very slim, quite heavy, very very properly built and feels very high in quality, and don't get me started on the beautifull display with amazingly vivid colour because it will wet the pants of some geeks in the process......

The moment i picked up the device, it felt so blardy solid and hefty, felt like holding up a gold bar!!!!. But once you turn on the power and started to scroll around and exploring the functions, you'll quickly experience some noticeable lags. To say that its not powerfull enough is definately not true because its got a 680 MHz ARM 11 processor and a Broadcom BCM2727 GPU, sufficient enough for a symbian.

Honestly, i really loved thi device and would like to bring one home, but the lag really put me off, and I think i'm gonna go to a nokia centre to re explore this device again before i make any decisions.

Farewell dinner in LiYen

liyen at The ritz carlton K.L

Add caption

An example of what i had. Its the only photo i took. Too busy eating and forget to shoot the rest.

My first Chinese fine dining experience was at Liyen Ritz carlton in K.L (Jalan Imbi) 2nd Floor. As with all the other french/italian and etc dining experience, the Chinese ones are quite similar in some ways but totally reversed taste wise.

The similarity starts with the presentation of the thing, which starts with a very big plate and a small serving in the middle, and expect plate changes to occur very frequently, and chinese tea being topped up after every sip, and that's about where the similarities stops.

The chinese food i had here had a Cantonese theme to it, which most of them taste very mild in seasoning, and natural flavors is very much preferred. As a HAKKA kid, the food i ate are mostly very heavy in seasoning/herbs and spices, but after trying out this typical cantonese food, I quickly fell in love with it.

To sum up what i had that evening:-
-peking roast duck
-snow fungus and winter plums with braised pork
-barbecued baby pork ribs
-some braised sea cucumber and abalone
-apple and pork soup
-steamed soon hock fish
-some steamed veggies
-superior fried rice with scalops and prawns
-deep fried prawns with some sweet glazing on top of it.
-diced duck in a wrap
-superior glass noodles with alot of expensive things in it.
-coconut jelly desert
-fresh almond juice

You may think that the list is incredibly long, but the servings are relatively small in comparison with other traditional chinese cuisine. And we had 2 bottles of white wine (forget what's the name) to wash down all the food we had, and some excellent Chinese tea as well, and like all typical chinese meal, it had to be accompanied by at least some beer, so we ordered 4.

The bill for all these fine experience comes to rm2,400 for 9 of us. Yea, 9 of us just ate an iphone 4 in one single feast.

To rank the taste of the food, i'll definately put it below Overseas restaurant (Jln Imbi), but experience wise, it'll be an absolute first for me> number one

Evolution of the species

Maxis broadband, my first broadband device

Little P1 super wiggy, compact and fast, but its range is very limited
.

Get what i mean?

I've finally reached my 1 year Maxis broadband contract and i'm looking forward to change my ISP, The package that i've signed up with maxis, gives me a 3gb qouta monthly, and some pretty descent speed for my work regardless of where i am. I can work at home or in the office, and even in the forest of Kuala Lipis, I'm still able to send messages and surf the web.......Well that's about the good things that i can say about maxis BB.

KASE of SAMAN EKOR

This is definately a true case which should have been brought out earlier. The case of Saman ekor  which means summoning the driver and have the summonses delivered via post.

HD no more

My HTC HD2 had been with me for nearly a year now, and look at it now! battle scars,bruises and scratches all over its body. This phone had served its purpose relatively well, blowing iphones, and Androids far far away, and now since its warranty had already expired, i've decided that its time to get another Windows phone.
