My Dream Destination

Everyone has a dream, without dream, there's no life. Hehe. I bet you have your own dream, you dream car, dream house, dream life-partner and so on. I myself also have my own dream. Today, I'm going to talk about my dream destination.


Since it is a dream, it can be realistic or not realistic, depends on how you see it. But somehow, it will come true in the future if you work for it. For my dream destination, I would like to prefer beach. The sandy white beach at some nice island, away from the hustle and bustle of the ciy. What a dream. Just like a getaway island, just like the 'Couple Retreat' movie where 3 couples went to a island for some escapade. I do like it if I got such chance in the future.


Island, with sandy beaches, can hear the sound of the wave when hit the beaches, then got natural forest in the island itself. What more if got nice river and waterfall. Wouldn't it be cool. My thought is already started to dream and image that I'm at this special island when I'm writting this. Just a moment to myself before I indulge myself with notes and notes and notes since I got final exam on monday. A very important paper as it will determine whether I can proceed or enter to 4th year. Hopefully I will be able to make it.

Back to my dream destination. Island as it sound, really is a nice and terrific location to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Whats more if you are at this special island with your best friends or even on a honeymoon. *(need to plan for future one mah. hehe) Playing in the cystal clear ocean, on the sandy white beach, relaxing under the shade of the tree while listening to the sound of the wave and feel the breeze. What a nice way to relax. My last trip to such island is Pulau Perhentian. A nice trip indeed and I do hope that I got such a chance to go to a different island and enjoy what the island has to offer, not the type that you saw in 'LOST'. Haha. stranded on the island of a specific purpose. Not my cup of tea.

My Version of Grooming Tips

According to Oxford Dictionary, 'grooming' is the things that you do to keep your clothes and hair clean and neat, or to keep and animal's fur or hair clean.

Our outlook will give people their first impression about us, even without talking to us. If we do look neat, smart and tidy, for sure people will have good impression on us and vice versa. However, how to make sure we look neat, smart and tidy?

Tip 1:

Hair is one of the important aspects people will look out for. For a guy, the hair has to be short and tidy. No messy hair or long hair. If your hair is long, be sure to cut it. A shorter hair is easier to manage than a long hair, dont you agree? For girls with long hair and some guys that keep long hair, do make sure that your hair is tidy all the time and look neat. Do make sure that you wash your hair often because the shampoo scent will sure be an addition mark. Good impression ma. For guy with short hair, some styling of the hair would definitely look nice. Guys, remember to shave those unwanted hair, like beard or mustache. 

Tip 2:

Body smell and sweat are a few things that we could not avoid. So, you can always bath few times in a day. And if you sweat a lot, you can always use deodorant. Perfume or cologne can also be used, provided they give off good scent, not a strong pungent smell as some people are sensitive to perfume. Keep this in mind.

 Deodorant for guy

Deodorant for girl

Tip 3:

Do remember to iron your clothes. Those clothes that have wrinkles all over them. Why? First impression always important. Always bare in mind that a neat and tidy person will always be advantage than a messy person. You do want to look smart in front of your friends and strangers, right? So, remember to iron your clothes if they are wrinkles. Or, you can do what I do. Buy wrinkle-free clothes. But also remember that these clothes do not have much design in them. So you would really look stylish. Haha.

Tip 4:

Wear the right shoe for the right occasion. Always remember to wear appropriate shoe for the function that you are attending. Meaning that do not always wear sandal out. Really not nice looking one. Wear sport shoe if you do have an outing with friends. Girls, do not always wear high-heels as they will hurt your feet. I do admit that high-heels look nice with pretty outfit, but sometimes you can always wear the heel-less sandal. (sorry as I do not know the exact term)

Tip 5:

If you know that you are having a bad breath, use some breath-spray. Really help. Trust me. Or you can always take mints. Besides that, remember to brush your teeth since oral hygiene is important. 

I think that is my version of grooming tips. Do stay tune for Project Alpha Season 2.

Pc Fair (1) KL 2010

16 of April 2010 marked the starting of a huge trade war going on in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and end on 18 of April 2010. I bet the total amount of stuffs being trades sure will be huge in number, including the money. 

Pc Fair in KL is usually organized by PIKOM, 3 times a year, one in April, one in Jun or July and another one is in December. During pc fair, there will be various promotions, from free gifts, to discount and even lucky draw. Not to mention, there will be a lot of pretty show girls around. I saw a couple of them. Pretty indeed. Hehe. Like last year, I went to pc fair today is because I wanna subscribe GameAxis magazine. This magazine is mostly on game, ranging from pc to ps (ps1, ps2, ps3 & psp) to xbox to dreamcast and even our handphone. You name it. Mostly on introduction and review on the latest games and hottest games in the market in some hardware guide to choose from for your gaming purposes. These are the 2 magazine companies that are on war for the pc fair.
GameAxis and HWM magazine, both from same company

PC.com

These 3 offers really are attractive but I stick to my original plan, to get hold of GameAxis which indeed is the correct decision. Why? Will tell later.

As usual, I take the UCSI U shutter bus to Bandar Tasik Selatan LRT station, then take LRT to Hang Tuah, then change to monorel and get down at Raja Chulan station, which is in front of Wisma Genting and near Pavillion. After that, you will reach KLCC in 10 minutes time from the monorel station. Upon arrival, there were a lot of people waiting there which consist of exhibitors and visitors. Really people mountain people sea (人山人海). Lucky for me, manage to get a good spot near the entrance of KLCC. At 11am sharp, the visitors are allow into the building. People were rushing towards the entrance at Hall 4. Why? Because people are rushing to the magazine booths to subscribe the magazines as limited free gifts are available. Unfortunately for us, we all were block again from entering the hall. Why? I do not know. maybe the preparation has not been done completely. After 10 minutes of waiting in front of the door, jam packed, we all were then allowed into the hall. As usual, people rush to the magazine booth. Not to mention, both these 2 magazines booth are side by side and people are queue up already. Luckily for me, this time, the subscription of GameAxis and HWM magazine is separated and I do not need to wait long for my turn. Even luckier for me, I was the second one to subscribe and they even gave me 2 complementary tickets to watch Video Game Live (click the link for more detail about it). They even took my picture. But I do not know how many tickets they are giving out. The tickets are for tomorrow, 17 of April, 8.30pm show at Plenary Hall, KLCC. Seating wise, is the cheapest among all and the most behind one. I check the ticketing website and found out that the cheapest seat already cost RM 84 each. What a luck. I pay RM 84 for 1 year subscription of magazine and get not only 2 tickets for the concert, but also 1 Evercool Zodiac Cooler and also Sensonic cordless laser mouse CX6. Normal price for the cooler is RM 75 and RM 65 for the mouse. Both are pc fair price. Really worth while to go there and subscribe.

Overview of my freebies


I also bought the back-to-back promotion, which is 4 passed issues, either GameAxis or HWM magazine, which cost me only RM 10 for 1 bundle. Not bad as one issue already cost RM 12.


Besides that, like last year, there were also broadband war at Hall 5. Broadband that were around, not in order, were Streamyx, Digi, Celcom, Maxis, P1Wimax, AmMax or Wimax. Most of their promoter stand in the outside of their booth, all form into 2 lines where the visitors only can walk in between them. Haha. Wasting their saliva on people like me. Not to mention, laptop promoter also. Reallly haiz. When I approach the Acer booth and check out the netbook, I ask him about the weight of the netbook and he pointed at the width (w) of the netbook. Weight and width is not same. Tell him twice then he understand. Haha. Then I say nvm. Then another thing is, when I went to Toshiba, again, they told me that Toshiba is very good coz got HDD shock absorber and I told them I knew d. Haha. Really wasting their saliva on people like me. People that only ask but dont buy. Haha. Interesting. But that is their job to promote, promoter mah. haha. Besides that, the costume for Avira really look weird. Just like wearing a red apron. Tactic failure. Haha. There is even a GPS smartphone from the GPS manufacturer

After finish walking my round, I need to rush back to my uni for a talk at 2pm. After the talk, I went straight home and try the new gadget. Wireless mouse, not bad. Really smooth. 1600 dpi. Haha. A laser mouse. Can use without the mouse pad and move faster. Good mouse. Cooler, I think not that ngam as the fan is not directly blowing the air-intake hole of my laptop. Still feel hot. But the cooler is made from aluminium and really feel cool. Even cooler if in air cond room. haha.

Overall, I'm quite happy with my trip to PC Fair this time. Already earn my money back with the complimentary tickets and I invited Joshua to join me. Maybe will visit again next year if I'm free.

p/s: My whole shirt is wet when I arrive at KLCC and got wet again when reach UCSI from KLCC. haha. Too many sweat and I'm dehydrated.

No String Attached

"No string attached" usually is the common phrase people will say when there is no term and condition applied. Meaning, you got a win lose situation or even win win situation. Why if you may ask? Well, since the person offering you this special offer does not wan anything back from you, of cause it is good, benefit for you, sure untung one. Then for sure in your case, it is a win situation. But for the other person, might be a win or lose situation. Maybe because he/she is desperate to find people or simply just giving out the offer to everyone pass by. The best example is the McDonalds Breakfast voucher. Really is a 'no string attached' because you only need to present the voucher at any McDonalds outlet that offer breakfast and you can redeem a cup of coffee or a Sausage McMuffin, Free Of Charge. These offers rarely come by, I would say. However, do ignore the other offer that come with the voucher since involve usage of money to get those stuffs. Hehe.

Another usage of 'no string attached' is for wireless. Wireless nowadays has become a norm in everyone life. Wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, wireless modem, wireless phone and others. These are all due to development of our technology. From wired to wireless. Really is a giant leap to the future. These wireless technology really make our life easier. 

Wireless modem

A handphone

The internet has become a norm in our daily life. Without it, some people will not be able to survive. Just like me, without the internet, somehow I feel like I got disconnected to the world. However, I do survive without internet once a while, provided my time is fully used for entertainment or movie or outing. To be able to connect to the internet, last time people used dial-up to connect to the internet with the maximum speed is 56 kbps. Later on, broadband has been introduced into the market and everyone started to grab hold of it. From the lowest 300 kbps up to 4 mbps, depends on the personal preferences and choice. However, cable is still needed to connect to the internet. Later on, wireless modem is introduced into the market. This will get rid of the messy cable connected to the modem. Yet, some people are not satisfy with it because you cannot online outside of your house due to limited internet access. 


With the introduction of wireless broadband, life has become must easier and internet is on the go. Just plug-in this small device into the USB port of your laptop where ever you are and you are ready to conquer the world-wide-web. Make sure the location you are in is within the coverage of your wireless broadband. If not, why bother to bring this small gadget and your laptop out. Right??
