my new HTC touch hd2

Big phone,small package

Incredibly slim as well

It felt comfortable in my hands.


This is the latest big arse PDAphone from HTC, and its called the touch HD2. Bought this baby at rm2.8k, and i think its currently the best phone in the market. Well before buying this i've considered the iphone 3gs, but when i got the know of the poor battery life of it, i quickly changed my mind.

This phone here has got a massive 4.3 inch screen, and its powered by a 1ghz processor. After 2 weeks of usage, i can say that its the best windows mobile phone i've used. The phone is stable (no lags,hangs,glitches), battery life is surprisingly good(2 days of moderate to heavy voice call usage).

Contrary to the reviews seen on the web about this phone being too massive to fit into a shirt pocket, i found that its surprisingly pocketable, although slightly wider than an iphone, this HTC is considerably slimmer and sexier than the iphone. And it fits perfectly into my tight jeans, and shows little bulge.

The only gripe about this phone is the difficulty i face when typing a message. As a regular keypad user of my nokia e63, i found that typing on the touch hd2 is really difficult and its something new to me, and because i cant feel the spaces between the keys, i tend to make a lot of mistakes when typing, and its even difficult for me to achieve 30 wpm.

to conclude on this phone after 2 weeks of usage, i can safely say that its probably the best phone one that i've used. I also found that i don't have to carry my laptop around that often anymore as most of the job can be done on my phone eg. sending/editing pdf files, showing photos/videos to my customers, full featured browser,geotag my picutres, entertainment, as a good camera and camcorder, and the best thing is that it can do all this simultaneously without showing any lagging.

The downside of this device is probably the keyboard which requires you to get used to, and also this HD2 runs quite hot when you really work it out.

Christmas shopping + Y.E.S

In conjunction with the year end sale happening everywhere in K.L, my whole family had been going all out to spend all our hard earned money for 2009, and i've just learned that Y.E.S does not only extend to pavillion,KLCC,1utama and etc., even car dealers are dumping their old stocks. And today, i've been shopping with my uncle in one of the car dealer located in jalan gombak....And the funniest thing is, even the dealer is located 2 lampost away from my office, we decided to drive there in a KANCIL 850cc Auto.


Nissan Fuga 2.5
This is by far the prettiest 4 door nissan i've ever seen, It's got a 18' wheels, super squat, and that super white colour....OoooOOOOooo

Porsche cayenne 4.8s
21' rims, and 295 section tyres, Adrenalin-fed engine ---> B.A.D

Audi Q7 4.2s
cayenne=bad, Q7=GanGsta. If you see me driving this in your neighbourhood, you'll probably gonna see me doing this to you oo0oo

Mercedes Benz CLS350
Like all the other merc's, its not what i'd want to drive to school with, BUT i friggin love the sexy rear....and its toooo low, getting in and out is difficult

After spending nearly 2 hours, we came out with chequebooks still intact,....

Note: If you drive a kancil, dont ever bother to go visit these place, Nobody will ever come and LAYAN you...and also beware of the SEK.Q

My Panasonic Lumix LX3 camera mini review.

You may have read my post last week regarding me ditching my DSLR for a smaller cam, and now here it is ---> My new panasonic lumix LX3

The reason i bought this camera is because its currently the best compact camera there is. Some of you might argue that the current best is perhaps the Olympus Pen or the Panasonic lumix GF1, but both cost at least double the price of which if you go with the twin lens and flash gun, it'll triple the price. So if you're shopping for a compact cam below rm2000, it think its the best in the market.

*update* I've done my research on other compact cameras, and it seems that this is the most expensive compact camera on sale in Malaysia.






The first impression i had with this camera is that is quite solid, it felt like i was holding a slab of aluminum block. This camera feels kinda solid,not too heavy and its quite pocketable. But user have to beware that it will get slippery if your hands get wet or sweaty, as the rubber grip area is kinda small, and the steel like finish doesn't help you to grip it well.

As for the buttons, they are shinny and difficult to see, short on travel, and some are difficult to operate with one hand, but the buttons have a high quality feel to them, and no free play/looseness.

The best thing you'll immediately notice with this camera is that its got a good screen which offers high resolution and good contrast, and its currently the best i've seen in any camera/DSLR/camcorder.

The pictures taken from this camera is very very good, comparable even to a DSLR, but the thing that really distinguished the super compacts and the DSLR is during low light shooting, where at ISO 200 and above noise level will start to ruin your photos. Its probably best to stay away from taking low light photos. Its also got an absolutely wide angle lens at 24mm wide but the telephoto ability which is only at 60mm is close to useless.

After 3 days of using it, i can conclude that its probably the best compact camera there is out there, producing good pictures,being very adjustable, and pocketable, but one thing's for sure is that its still can't replace a DSLR for serious shootings.
