Sayorana Shinto-kun

Today just got to know from my sis that an ex-schoolmate of my nephew has gone tragically, on his own will. He is only 16 this year, a bright and young mix-parentage boy who I remembered the first day I met him due to his lineage japanese father's end.

I didn't know him well but I do heartache for the losses. Afterall, he was once (or twice) stay over night in our place partying with my nephew and he was a quiet boy where no one could ever imagine he would committed...

I got into his friend's blog while trying to look more info about his story. Somehow, it makes me even worrying with this living friend after reading his story. I do wish that I could contribute some help to make him back on track. One loss is enough, please, not another. This is not a stupid call center incident trend that show the performance, it is human life we talking about...

"FACE"book

Sometimes i feel facebook really 害人不浅. Well, i dont blame the tool because it is perfectly design for what it suppose to, which is, it suppose to be a nice social network for friends and family to keep contact, maintain relationship and share happiness but to certain extend, especially the long haul die hard users, they tend to over-relying the tool. It is like a part of their life and they cant leave the portal for more than 5 hours, some even lesser.

Perhaps Im just being old school but please, this is getting ridiculous and affecting the people's life. I think the problem lies with the privacy handling of each individual. I.e. personal attack and comment in the public, sharing family pictures that annoy the others, too many and detail info being share over the portal which makes ones personal life totally expose.

The portal is not only affect the registered users, but also affecting the unregistered individual through the sharing of pictures etc. I hope the trend will get better soon, as of now so far, my nephew already duel into many battles with his friends and mom. Today it happens to be my cousin. When will it stop?

2010 Birthday Gift

It is so pitiful that I have to buy my own birthday present every year. Therefore, to compensate my emptiness and regrets, I will not be stingy in spending this once a year annual gift to myself. Last 2 years ago, it was Canon DSLR 400D, an amazingly and stunning memory capturing device that broaden my view. Of course, the price wont come cheap, even if it is a second handed unit.

Last year, it was Panasonic Lumix GF1. A most latest micro four third genius designed camera. Although I sold (or trade??) it with the 400d, I still shed a few pounds because wanting to own it first hand. Then this year, as I mentioned, I want no more iPhone4 but a new rising phone - Windows Phone 7. The operator just launches the rate few hours ago and again, a bomb. But who care? As long as I am happy.

Some how, I think next year I will upgrade my birthday gift from gadget to something more materialistic - buy gold bullion! At least it doesn't suck my money but help me to increase them instead!

HP7

Nop it is not a phone, not a software, not hardware either. It's Harry Potter 7.

Many not aware that I am indeed a big fan of harry potter. No I didnt read the book but I was amaze by the fake magical thoughts, idea, and the fake world that created by the CG. Basically the story is plain, just about the school life of a kid. But he is aint no ordinary school kid, he admitted to the magical hogwart school of wizardry which make the story so damn unique.

For a lazy people like me, I am obviously dreamed about having magic (not those stupid tricks from david blaine or muggles) to do my work. This movie just like making my fantasy came real, except the dark lord part. Dont get me wrong, I like him and his minions though. They reflected the true and crucial world, but I dont like it cause they bring me back to the reality which the world is indeed very mean and brutal.

Back to the story, I believe many has lost interest because of the story is confusing in the later part. Believe me I am too but I found out when I watch it again, I mean all of it at once, the missing links are all bridge up. You may wanna try the same too and perhaps you will be excited as me waiting the HP7 now!

Mind my mine

I think I need a holiday. Well I am having the public holiday and my job also gives me more than enough flexibility to do my own works but, I need a holiday that can rest my mind and soothe my tense.

Last time, I can calm myself down by sleeping. Recently, regardless of how long I slept, I just cant recover the tiredness. I dont know why I kept myself staying in this intense mode. I tried relaxing it by watching movie, picked up the harry potter series, sing song, tenji japanese buffet etc. But the tense just wont go away.

Sigh I guess the more relax I put myself into, the more pressure I will become - because that all cost like hell to me now. Furthermore, my friend is going Brazil and asking if I want to tag along for the free stay. Trust me, I am dying to want it but my conscious is telling me NO!! The airfare alone already cost few thousands, not to mentioned the 35-40 hours flight in eco class, and the spending in Brazil.

Sigh, I guess I just gotta let it go and pray hard that he is getting another long haul trips when I can afford it...

Justice!

This advertisement post just came handy to me. It is about the depuy hip recall attorney that happened to the recent Johnson & Johnson hip replacement systems case. Well although I am not one of the victims from the system but I do have a similar case that due to the personal injury that causes by the product.

In my case I was injured by the Dell computer. Basically the computer was purchased direct from Dell, no parts were changed/upgraded, and the new replacement part also shipped from Dell. Somehow, the power supply unit exploded with fire sparked out from the the socket when I plugged in the the cable and switched on the power.

I didn't get much injury from that incident but the case cause enough emotional damage to me. And trust me, I lost my confidence to all dell products because of it, and I want my compensation! I have reported this case to Dell but I am not satisfy with the way they handle my complain. Therefore I think this is just the nice opportunity for me to get the right attorney to fight for me as a consumer!

Some how, I have made the appointment with the insurance representative from Dell. I hope everything will go smooth or else, I have no choice but to file a lawsuit on this.

Lost in Time

Ever since I started renovating the house my mind is like falling into pieces - a mess. I cant remember the tasks properly. My schedule runs up and down where I keep confuse what to do on which days. Best is I even lost track of the date, like I am living in the time tunnel that has no definition of time.

For example, CP told me on 2nd Nov that the uniqlo opening event is on the 4 Nov, but I mixed up and sms her on the 3rd. Then, YYF told me BGT is reserved, but I mixed up that I have completed it and so I missed it a day later. It is rather strange as I do remember all the events and tasks, but it just my mind mixes up the schedule like the clock low on battery and confused in time...

I don't know if this is due to the reno, or it is myself who is thinking too much lately. Gotta fix this deviation before it is too late, or I think I will be drifted away from reality...
