For the past few entries you have seen me talking bout BlackBerry and all because I just can’t get enough of it!
Now here’s a short clip (2-minutes plus) of me using BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) conferencing with Jason and Eugene, where the former is just seated right in front of me!
I know the video is a tab bit long and boring and all but hey, I was too busy with my BBM~!! LOL~!!
Then I have created a BBM Group and planned for a meet up for Cheras BB users..
After you have read about the “main applications” in a BlackBerry, now it’s time to test DiGi 3G coverage, whether is it worth its RM58/month low price..
Not that i’m comparing it with other telcos but it’s fine to just comment on the DiGi line itself..
*BB Curve 8520 on GSM*
On start-up, my BB Curve 8520 is always on GSM aka 2G before it handover to EDGE due to the limitations of BB Curve 8520..
Curve 8520 doesn’t support 3G so the optimum signal it can get is EDGE..
*BB on edge connection*
If you see “edge”, that’s small letters, beware and NOT to surf around if you have subscribed data plan..
The “edge” connection is actually a normal connection that will charge you based on the amount of data you have used..
So if you surf or use applications when this “edge” sign is showing, it’s a sign that your data plan isn’t ready yet and you better tell DiGi about this problem..
The real sign that should be showing is the capital letters of “EDGE”, which means you are now running on data plan instead of pay-as-you-use rates..
If a phone can support 3G connection, it will show 3G and if in areas that have low 3G signal, the sign on your phone will drop down to EDGE or maybe GSM depending on the coverage of the areas..
So far my BB’s signal has never drop to GSM even when I was around outskirt area such as Cyberjaya and South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE)..
I tried to make phone calls and I was amazed with its reception..
My biggest problem with my previous telco is the reception in my room..
I, as a Communication & Electronic Engineering student knows that the reception will drop if one is surrounded by walls or buildings..
So I couldn’t blame the telco for the bad reception but I couldn’t really bear with it especially when I pick up phone calls when I’m still sleeping..
I have to get up and find the best spot for the reception..
Tried with DiGi, I talked with no reception problem in every corner in my room..Asked my friend if there is any cracking or “robotic” sound, a firm NO is replied..
I am more than happy to stay loyal to DiGi just because of that..LOL~!!
Although last week there’s a slight mishap with its slow connection but they have swiftly restored its stable connection..
Even though DiGi is a new player in 3G coverage but as of late it has improved a lot and I bet they will keep on improving to accommodate its customers’ needs with the rapid growth of BB users..
Watched Evangelion 2.0 : You Can (Not) Advance courtesy of e@Curve (formerly Cineleisure Damansara)..Got the tickets from Robb the hamsap handsome guy wtf >.<
Evangelion 2.0 is the second part of a tetralogy movies of Evangelion..
It is said that the first 3 parts are almost similar to the original series with the final instalment to be an original production..
But in this Evangelion 2.0 : You Can (Not) Advance, almost half of the movie is already talking a different approach in its story-telling..
A new character of Maki Illustrious Makinami, a new EVA pilot is introduced..Some of the plots have been changed and yet it’s as thrilling as ever!
If you have watched the original series of Neon Genesis Evangelion, you would already the pace and style of this animation, slow and mind-boggling..
So if you are not really an anime fan but wanted to try something new, this MIGHT not be the right thing for you..Do choose your movie again..
Although I have forgotten most parts of the original series, I enjoyed the movie very much..
If you are watching this movie, DO NOT LEAVE WHEN THE CREDITS IS COMING OUT..
There’s a sneak peek of what to expect in Evangelion 3.0, after the credits..
In conjunction with Evangelion 2.0, here’s a very nice song called Komm Susser Todd, sung by Hideaki Anno, the producer and director of Evangelion series..
The song Komm Susser Todd is actually an insert song for the original series..
It’s actually a sad song but the tune and rhythm is so joyous and happy-go-lucky kinda mood..It’s plain genius!
Komm Susser Todd - Hideaki Anno
I know, I know I’ve let you down
I’ve been a fool to myself
I thought that I could
live for no one else
But now through all the hurt and pain
It’s time for me to respect
the ones you love
mean more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
I feel the best thing I could do
is end it all
and leave forever
What’s done is done, it feels so bad
what once was happy now is sad
I’ll never love again
my world is ending
I wish that I could turn back time
cos now the guilt is all mine
can’t live without the trust from those you love.
I know we can’t forget the past
you can’t forget love and pride
because of that its killing me inside
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
In my heart of hearts,
I know that I could never love again
I’ve lost everything, everything
everything that matters to me,
matters in this world
I wish that I could turn back time
cos now all the guilt is mine
can’t live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can’t forget the past
you can’t forget love and pride
because of that, it’s killing me inside
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down
it all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down
it all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down…
Yes, I’m using a Blackberry Curve 8520 and like I’ve did some tutorial on how to use a DSLR before, I’ve decided to give a slight bit of tutorial on what you can expect from a BB Curve 8520..
IMHO, BB Curve-Series is an economic BB, where its specs are far more inferior if compared to its fellow BB of the Storm-Series and Bold-Series hence the more affordable price..
Even so, a BB Curve could do wonders that most normal phones cannot do..
One of BB’s strongest fundamental features is the Push-Mail function..
*BB Curve 8520 - Push-mail*
I’ve integrated my Gmail with my BB Push-mail function and now I receive mails just like I receive SMSes..
I don’t have to download my mail nor wait for it to load, I just open my mails on my BB just like how people open their SMSes..
Other than Push-Mail, one of BB’s stronghold that I would say could change the SMS world in the near future, is the Blackberry Messenger (BBM)..
BBM is almost like any IM application but it’s for BB users only..
*BBM Barcode*
With BBM, one can key-in the user’s phone number or his/her BB-PIN to add a contact..
To make it more high-tech, you can display your BB’s Barcode, then scan the barcode through another BB’s camera..
You can also screenshot your BB Barcode, display it in your blog or somewhere so that other people can scan your Barcode without you telling them your BB-PIN..
After you’ve added your friend’s BB contact, you will no longer have to SMS your friend..You can message your friend via BBM..
That’s why I said it will change the SMS world in the near future..Honestly, I felt more intimate to chat with my friends on BBM rather than other IMs..
Other than that, there are few other apps that can be used and very popular as of late, such as Twitter..BB’s Twitter apps are the 2 more recognisable TwitterBerry and UberTwitter..
UberTwitter provides a much neat and better platform as compared to TwitterBerry..
Residents of Petaling Jaya, Sunway, or Subang might have already heard of Burger Oblong for quite some time..
I have seen burger stalls in SS15 and Sunway Mentari selling Burger Oblong, it’s not difficult to find it there..
But so far in Cheras, the burger stall nearby my house which I always visited, is selling Burger Oblong now..
The Burger Oblong is a McD’s Prosperity Burger look alike with its patty is longer than usual round shape of burger patty..
*Burger Oblong*
The Burger Oblong is RM1 more expensive than a usual burger where the seller sells it at Rm4 for chicken and beef while RM5 for venison (rusa) and chevon (kambing), and an extra 50sen for an egg..
the seller purposely bought few more spices to spice up the Oblong patty..
*Oblong Kambing*
I’ve ordered a kambing..Surprisingly, the kambing patty is so tender, tastes just like beef..I almost cannot differentiate between them..
The seller claimed that ever since he sells Burger Oblong, his normal Burger is not that laku..
It seems like otaku or gangsters would be suitable one..
Get yours and try now but I’m definitely eating mine till you come..
Chinese New Year 2010 was AWESOME-ly bored, as usual..
Being a true KL resident (grandparents, parents, relatives, etc were ALL from and still in KL) is quite boring because we didn’t really go anywhere other than visiting relatives..
Lucky that most of my close friends are all true KL residents as well..Staying in traffic-congestion-free KL is better than to get stuck in the jam going back hometown and coming back KL, anytime!
And so we decided to make a move to Fusion something something at Sri Petaling..It’s somewhere around the shoplots nearby Hotel Sri Malaysia..
It’s a fusion of ramen, pasta, western, oriental, and much more style where 2 or 3 of them fused into one dish..
So we ordered our food and drinks, and camwhored..
*Ramen Soup with Omelet*
This is my ramen soup with omelet egg and some sausages..Taste just like any nissin noodles but it is not bad..
Oh well should’ve tried something else..
*Lamb Chop*
If not mistaken this is a lamb chop, nicely done..The girl who had it was kinda full because there is the lamb chop, a fried Japanese-styled glutinous rice, and a bit of fries or something..
The taste wasn’t bad and most of the Western food were kinda of the same portion as the lamb chop and those who had Western were quite full, so they said..
Some photos after the jump and GIRLS do check out the bottom of this entry..
