My Awesome year of 2011

As we all know, the year of 2011 is going to ends in a couple of day.
Is it an awesome year for you? For me, it's the greatest and happiest year so far!

This awesome year, i've experience many 'first time' experience.
Firstly, I've entered another stage of my life, the working life.
Bringing my life to another challenge! In case you're new to my blog, i'm currently an Microelectronics Failure Analysis Engineer in a Electronics manufacture company in Muar.

Next as usual, let me rewind back my best memory in 2011 before it ends.

January



The 1st January, I was countdown at Taipei, Taiwan with Kas.
This is the first ever counting down during new year eve in my life.
6 hours of standing wasn't comfortable but it's a very precious experience.
There were a lot of singer performed and that was awesome!

February


12th of February, i was given an opportunity to Italy for microelectronics training.
The period was 2 and half months, which was 12th Feb - Mid of April.

My first time travel to Europe, and most important is i travel by myself without my family.
I managed to grabbed this great chance to travel around Italy during the weekend.
Made several great and genius friends in Italy.

Antonino, Andrea, Marco, Mikesh, Simona and etc.
You guys rock my Italy trip.
----

Anyway, on my second valentine day in our relationship i failed to acc her.
But i told myself i will give you the best i can.
----


25th of February, i bought my Beats by Dr Dre Solo HD from Apple Store, Carugate Italy.
The bass, the stylishness, the clarity, the eye-catching with this product. You can't describe with words.
----

March


On 25th March, it was the worldwide launching of iPad 2.
I went back early from work and stop by the Apple Store in Carugate, Italy to witness the countdown launching ceremony. You'll never know how excited the people until you experience yourself.

Check out the video i recorded as below.

May

I wasn't able to celebrate Kas birthday with her. She was in Australia for her studies.
But i think i gave you my best birthday present, isn't it? =)
----

June


8th of June, i changed my iPhone 4 Black to the White one.
Apple finally released after so long of waiting period.
----


25th of June, i bought myself the iPad 2 32GB White.
Sold my iPad 1 and change to this iPad 2 with a little top up.
----

July


This is the lens that most of the photography enthusiast want for.
The Canon EF 24-70 F2.8L. It's in my arsenal now! :)
----

August


19th of August, i went to Australia. At the same day, i lost my iPad 2 in the flight.
'Donated' it to Singapore Airlines A380 flight to Melbourne.
----


On 23rd of August, we flew to Sydney from Melbourne.
Nevertheless, Australia is a great place and i hope i can work and live in there.
----


29th of August, i can't live without my iPad 2.
I bought another one to replace the one i lost in Melbourne.
It's the same spec but this time in Black colour.
----

September


On 4th of September, i shoot for my cousin's wedding ceremony along with Wei Chen.
My 24-70L did a great job but i think i still need time to play with it.
----

October


15th of October, 4 of us went to KL for Canon Photomarathon at Pavilion.
Chun Leng, Wei Chen, Kas and Me. The weather wasn't well and we decided to shopping instead of finish the contest. However, Chun Leng still won a Canon printer in the lucky draw.
----

November


It's my birthday and Kas celebrated with me in San Francisco Restaurant, Melaka.


All of my previous people gave me a great presents.

December


We went to Bangkok for travel. I did have a great trip. I had a great smile to be with you, isn't it?
----


Bought myself a Seiko 5 SFNZ21K1 from Springwell, Mahkota Prade Melaka.
It's an automatic watch and nice to be my everyday use watch.
----


25th of December, our 3rd Christmas together.
We celebrated it at Olio Italian Restaurant, Renaissance Hotel Melaka.


You smiled happily.

So, it's about my 2011. This year was fun. Hehe!

The Dragonfly

Hello people, a small update for the photo that i've taken last weekend. The Dragonfly!



It was Saturday afternoon with a great weather and i was walking to my backyard to have a look on my small garden. Suddenly this Dragonfly was flying there and rest on the PVC pipe that we used to straighten our plant. So quickly grab my camera and tested my new 24-70L lens with insect shot.

For the first time shooting on insects, i must say it's pretty hard to wait it to pose better.
My handheld is still not stable yet, forced to boost up my ISO settings to compensate.

But for the first time, i'm quite satisfy the outcome. What say you?
How do you think about this photo? C&C are welcomed.
Leave me a comment below :)

Introduction about the Protector.

'Stealth Guards are a Clear Scratch Resistant film that protects your device from scratches. Our clear scratch resistant skins are the perfect way to protect the investment you've made in your new device from dings and scratches. Precision cut to fit your each device perfectly. Our scratch resistant material was originally designed to protect helicopter blades from dust and debris. Our Clear Scratch Resistant skin feature a "Self Healing" technology that allows most dings and scratches to heal after a 24 hours period.' by StealthGuards

For installation instruction video, please watch the video.


Installation Steps:
1) Clean device using a lint free cloth.

2) Spray fingertips and the protector with solution/alcohol/clean water. (I'd used Clean tap water in my case, but alcohol is more prefer because it has faster evaporation than water.)

3) Applied the protector adhesive side down.

4) Using a credit card squeengee excess solution out. (I used credit card, to push the bubble/solution out slowly)

5) Wipe excess solution using a paper tower.

6) Allow to dry up to 24 hours, or use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process.

Enjoy your phone with the protection!

My personal experience on it:

First time when i applied it on my iPhone 4, i felt it's kind of failure for me. Coz there are quite many bubbles on it.
Until i read from the installation part online, i used a credit card to push the bubble out slowly. It works!
Some small bubbles still exist thou, left it for 24 hours. Seriously the bubbles gone! No kidding..
No my phone is quite nice with it, just that one of the edge has some dust on it. I can't avoid it coz i put it in my pocket all the time.


My trade list:
1) Vincent1602 - iPhone 4 x 1 - PAID - LG11 710 657 8MY
2) Lau (Non-forumer) - iPhone 4 x 1 - PAID - COD
3) Lein (Non-forumer) - iPhone 3Gs x 1 - PAID - COD

Here's a video to show how easily we can apply FULL body protector on phone.

The time-lapse Moon

When the world is suffering from Natural Disaster, would u giv a help?

There was a smiley face on the sky yesterday night, did you ever seen it?

The moon is coming out to *wink* at this world.

Did you smile today? :)

First attempt in doing time-lapse video using my iphone.

ReelMoments + CinemaFXV + iMovie = my video.

Thanks Pete for guiding me.

Since it was in midnight and nothing to take, I decided to take on my entertainment console while i was watching One Piece anime.

The place i miss

This is the place I've spent my 3 years time at. The INTI University.

Met plenty kind of people and friends at this place, bitter and sweet both.

Life is still moving on, i know.

This is the time i've to face the next stage of my life, either work or further studies.

I've not guts to face the next stage, to be honest.

Had been considering many issues in my mind for months, but no conclusion yet.

What to do? :( What should i do?

Can't believe that i'd actually finish my INTI life so fast.

Still not enough laaaaaa..sobsob..

iPhone as model

Some of you might know that, i've graduated from INTI for 2 months ady.

And i'm still lame at home doing nothing here.

So just when i was in mood for photography few days ago,

Took out my favorite iphone 4 and had some photograph.

Played around with Curve using my Adobe Photoshop CS4.

What i need is just:

2 x TopGear Magazine

1 x iPhone 4

Garden/Grass field

Stone wit flat surface

#1

#2

#3 This is my favorite pics overall. :)

How is it? Share your thoughts wit me okay?

Work/no work?

Imma suck in decision making, I admit.

When thing comes, decision making always make me emo.

And now, it's my future.

Since July that my Uni's mistake and i've successfully graduated,

I've been lame at home for months. It's the second months now.

So, what should i do? :(

Easy, there's always two options for me. Study or Work.

For my decision now, i've decided to continue my master studies in Aus/UK.

But most probably UK, as the master there only need 1 year,

and Aus wanted me to take it in two years.

[img source:http://www2.worthingtonlibraries.org]

Oh great, it's time to study again. Assignments, Researches. What else?

The UK intake is on September 2011.

Now it's end of august, impossible to apply for school ady. sigh.

1 year time until the uk master starts.

Should i work? I'm sure many ppl will say yes.

But..

[Img source: http://www.savetheworldfromhome.com.au]
I'm more into electronics field, therefore one of the biggest microcontroller manufacture in my small hometown is the choice for me. But things always can't go smooth, tons of opinion and experience make me sick of the job. One of my fren told me that if i'm lucky enough to get training at other country for 5 days onwards, it's a bond with the company for at least 1 year. So, how am i suppose to study if i'm tie up to that company?

and second, November and December i've family trip. Can i get the leave? :(

I'm so sick of decision making man! It's tiring.

So, should work or shouldn't? :(

Should work now? Or right after my trip on december?

Calanthe Art Cafe

5 of us with HS' Proton Iswara SE were in Melaka for the movie 'Salt'.

Shall not put any review at here yet, but next post.

Hs was kind enough to drive us all the way from Muar to Melaka for movie.

He and Kh were watching 'Inception' while others watched 'Salt'.

Before movie starts, we went to this cafe which located near Jonker Street for dinner.

It's Calanthe Art Cafe.

For coffee lovers.

First when I walked in, it has the 70's feel as all the design are quite unique and old style.

It's open air style. Gives us quite good feeling tho.

Shall bring my gf here next time =p

Hs brought me a book, it's kind of notebook for guest to write anything they want to write.

There were some handwriting from random Japanese too.

Here's my food. Hershey Choc-Cheese cake.

RM10+ , it's kind of pricey but taste not bad.

Caffe Latte, which i feel lack of some sugar/sweet taste.

Still acceptable tho.

Neh's drink which nothing to do with the beer ads . hahaha.

The outside view from the street.

Notice the foreigner there? They were so friendly to say Hi when i point my video to there. haha..

Here's some video taken yesterday.

Shall capture it horizontally. =/

Here's the details:

Dear with glass

Time flies, it's already 1 month over. My dear is back to Sydney again.

Back to her life, and i'm back to my lonely life in Muar. I miss her. =/

Still not getting used without her beside me.

3 months+ i will be able to see her again, kinda looking forward to it.

-----

Anyway, placed my ordered from the glass shop yesterday.

A transparent glass with dimension 120cm x 60cm x 6mm.

Used it to place on my computer table, which cost me RM60 for all.

Collected today and i'm enjoy my 'new' table now! hehe..

I'm loving it :)
