It was hectic for the past few days when my break started. All I can say here is that, so far these few days holidays break had been well spent. I've been playing a few sports with friends (I haven't been touching sports for a few months), been to Japanese free short course for 4 days (OMG, really like the class so much. Wish the course was longer) and been doing my assignments (Finished 1 out of 3, now waiting for my group mate to decide when to discuss the assignments next week).<br />
<br />
A lot had happen to me, I can say that I changed a lot since I came to Australia/ANU. Experience that I gained here really were invaluable, meeting people from different background as well as countries really teach you how to communicate and networking effectively so that you won't be offend people easily. However, I still have a lot of things that I want to do here before I go back. I always tell myself 'So many things to accomplish, but the time is so short'. I guess I need to prioritize a few things that I really want to do and make decision on that. For everything I decided, at the end I have to forgave something as a trade off.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I have to stop here. I wish I have more time to blog here, really miss the time where I have some inspirations and I will write it here. Wish all my friends have a good day, and have fun during your break :)<br />

Everything went haywire once I'm back from my holiday, no time to update my blog due to some unavoidable circumstances. My homework getting piled up, all my class either starts early or ends late, busy with MSO and AIESEC at the same time, busy going for the events and not to mention I miss my HOME more than ever after skyping with my parents last week. Haih, I just hope everything going smoothly this semester unlike last sem.<br />
<br />
How was my trip to Gold Coast and Brisbane. One words to sum it all. It's AWESOME!!! Great meeting up friends there and enjoy the weather and foods. I went to have a look at NCG, apparently ACT didn't have any representative in any sports except debate. Congratulations to the ACT debate team for winning the competition, glad that their hard-work actually paid off in the end. Million thanks to RAZIN, JUANA LING, JOCINDA and HUI HUI for bringing us around. HAN SEN from Brisbane, although we met for a while, but we did have some fun conversation when we were together. MAY CH'NG, ASHU, LILY, LI TING, XUE YING, FARREL PING, AICHA ROSLAN, SHAFIQ, MIDI, SHARVEEN, FARAHANIM, ANIS LUTFI and the rest, really glad that I met u all during my trip.<br />
<br />
I guess that's all for now. I'm kinda busy for now, and I shall update my blog when I'm free. Can't wait for the SPRING to come!!!!!!Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523485385864054898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961635089637650709.post-27288908541171984692012-07-02T18:39:00.001+08:002012-07-02T18:39:19.163+08:00I'm DONEEverything story has the starting point and it's ending point. I can't believe my ending point of that particular chapter ends so quickly. I just received my result through text message for my second year first semester. It turns out to be quite bad than I predicted. I have to re-sit one of the paper, and that paper is the one that I dislike the most. What should I do?? Who should I blame?? All in all, the only thing I can think of right now is my fault, I don't spend enough time to revise and study the exam like I used to. Whatever laa..... I just can't think about it anymore, now my result spoils my Brisbane trip.....haih T_T<br />
<br />

My next plan is to have a chillax trip to Gold Coast and Brisbane, meet up my Taylorian friends and enjoy the trip as much as I can. I just hope for the best for my result since two of the exam is really hard and I failed for one of it in the mid-sem paper. Anyway, I wish the best for all my friends out there and have a nice holiday :DHunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523485385864054898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961635089637650709.post-83588478221772283302012-05-18T18:25:00.002+08:002012-05-18T18:29:08.887+08:00GameAxis Malaysia<b><u>GameAxis Malaysia</u></b><br />
<br />
In conjunction with <a href="http://www.facebook.com/myhwm">HWM Malaysia</a>'s 10th year celebrations, and our impending count-up towards 3,000 Facebook fans - we would like to kick off the beginning of a string of events over the years. Starting the celebrations this year is "The Great HWM/GAX Facebook Fan Drive", where we will be giving away loads of awesome goodies to the fans who help us grow our pages beyond and more.<br />
<br />
(See the goodies in the pic. That's what we're giving away for the first leg of the drive. There might be more...)<br />
<br />
These goodies are just the beginning of where we're going with this: the goal is that once we reach 3,000 fans on GameAxis Malaysia's Facebook and 5,000 fans on HWM Malaysia's Facebook, we will be holding ANOTHER fantastic giveaway to reward everyone of you. There are loads of awesome prizes planned for that giveaway, but until we close-in or achieve that target, we won't be able to reveal what it is.<br />
<br />
(So that's TWO giveaways. One for now before we reach 3,000 and 5,000, and another for AFTER!)<br />
<br />
To kick start the pre-giveaway, we've set up a widget on HWM Malaysia's Contest page here: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/myhwm/app_190322544333196">https://www.facebook.com/myhwm/app_190322544333196</a> which you can access to better help you in assisting us to achieve that target. With this easy-to-use widget, you can also get your friends and family to join us for this drive, while we can track your progress (and theirs!) along the way.<br />
<br />
Essentially, we hope to reward our dearest fans and readers who have been with us through thick and thin, as we grow along the way to greater, bigger and better things. By tracking your progress, we know who the biggest fans who help us grow our pages, all of whom will be duly rewarded with the best prizes from this pile. :)<br />

I just got back my Korean marks and my Law for Business Entity assignment marks. JUST BARELY PASS??? OMG~~~ I really don't know how to survive in univeresity anymore. How did I manage to get those marks??? Because I don't study enough??? Will I get better marks if I quit all the clubs and society position and work??? Will I get higher grades if I don't play games and don't drink??? NO FUN = HIGHER GRADES, is this equation ever true??? Let's just leave this question unanswered, because if I got the answer, it will lead to another problem like a chain reaction.<br />
<br />
PS: Feel like burning the whole notes right now, because I don't understand a single thing. I wonder how did other people think when they read the same notes???Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523485385864054898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961635089637650709.post-53541668364201252092012-04-13T20:45:00.000+08:002012-04-14T17:07:39.614+08:00Through the PAIN of 7 weeksYooHooHoo~~~ Finally I finished watching my 145 episodes of anime "Eyeshield 21" during the first week break. Now I got some time to spam my blog with stuffs that happened for the past 7 weeks.<br />
<br />
First week of my second year in ANU started with a BIGBANG.... All of my friends, mainly called "M46 group" start the week with alcohol. All of them drink like there is no tomorrow because they know after the first week, they have to start doing their assignments and tutorials works. So basically every single day, they will go M46 of Warrumbul Unilodge and drink all range of alcohol (Bacardi, Absolute Vodka etc). They are truly ALCOHOLIC TO THE MAX!!!!!<br />
<br />
Second week is the week where all of us become crazily busy. I was busy with classes (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday pack with classes from 10am to 5pm) and as a Sports Officer of Malaysian Students Organisation (MSO). Basically I don't have time to revise any lectures and do my tutorial homework. By the time I have some time spare for myself, I'll use it to sleep because I was too tired and exhausted with EVERYTHING~~~<br />
<br />
Third week and forth week: Normal day week. Nothing much happen during these two week. I was successfully being selected being ANU AIESEC member (don't know whether I should be proud of it or not).<br />
<br />
Fifth week is the assignments week. With LBE 700 words essay need to be completed in 3 days, I have to do some research on the news report regarding any corporation law. What happen was I did some mistake by scrambling up the idea of commercial law and corporation law. Messing up with these 2 things is the worst thing I have done to myself. In the end of the day, after consulting with my tutor Gladys (luckily she helped me), I have to rewrite my 3-days report in 3hours. IT WAS BLOODY AMAZING!!!!!! Well, I hope I can get a good result :)<br />
<br />
Sixth week is the revision week. Since exam period is at the corner, I have to start fully revise every subject so that I can fully prepare for the exam. A lot of distraction during this week, especially with my PMS period where I was freaking moody for the whole week. Can't do anything though :( but I have to pull myself up and STUDY STUDY AND STUDY!!!!<br />
<br />
Seventh week is the craziest week. I HATE EXAM SO MUCH!!!! I have exam on Monday (Korean Oral test), Tuesday (FINM2001) and Wednesday (Korean Written test) After the tiring day, BANZAI!!!!! I'M FINALLY FREE AND HAVING HOLIDAY FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS!!!<br />
<br />
What's coming up after holiday: exam for Company Accounting and 2000 words report for Corporation Law...... T_T .....I havn't even start one of them yet~~~~~ DIE!!!!!!!Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523485385864054898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961635089637650709.post-70698598130288287962012-03-31T10:07:00.002+08:002012-03-31T10:07:57.490+08:00PassionHey guys, I just want to share with you guys about this awesome article I came across few hours ago. Have a good read of this article because it's talking about about passion in doing what you like. Enjoy the article.<br />

PS: To tell the truth, I have not found my passion yet, so I will not give up on finding what I want to do most (not I need to do most).Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523485385864054898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961635089637650709.post-26448946561799171892012-03-24T18:32:00.000+08:002012-03-24T18:32:39.422+08:00Prelude to Easter postHey everyone, I'm finally back to write something on the blog. It took me some time to have a little break from study and type something on the blog. Well, this time, I'll be only spend a few minutes to write what I'm going to write soon during the Easter Break, so that at least, I won't forget what I'm going to say soon in the blog.<br />
<br />
Well, it's already been the end of the 5th week in ANU, and I've been busy with a lot of stuff in my life, mainly clubs and jobs as well. What I'm going to illustrate during the Easter break would be what happened to me for the past 6 weeks (staring week 1 till before Easter break). I'm going to talk about what's I'm on, jobs, clubs and society that I've join, what I've been thinking a lot for a couple of weeks etc. Basically it was a story of my life in uni, more like a second chapter of the whole book...LOL.<br />
<br />
So I'm not going to illustrate much here because I'm having mid-term exams soon and I've just manage to have my own time to study and do my assignments before it due, so I have to tough up for another 2 weeks before the coming Easter holiday. Stay tune for my upcoming post during Easter. So, see you all and hope you all stay healthy as always, bless you all :)Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523485385864054898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961635089637650709.post-35344249138802215142012-02-09T11:32:00.002+08:002012-02-09T11:33:47.112+08:001 year old...<br />
I'm officially 1 year in Australia, and this blog has officially been 1 and a month year old. This blog had brought me so much joys and tears in the past, posting those events that I really want to share with you all. Summer has been so kind to me (so far), giving me so much sweet memories when I stayed in Canberra. Hotpot, pool, ping pong, wondering around Canberra had been my favourite past time activities during the whole summer. However, there still something that I haven't accomplished yet and have to be done soon. But I'll take one step at a time, making sure everything is perfectly done before summer ends.<br />

WHOA, you can't believe what happened after that day. A lot of stuff had happened since that day, hangout with friends till 4-5am in the morning, going out for some AWESOME DINNER with food-buddy around Canberra, celebrate New Year Eve in Sydney for the first time, working with famous retailer Cotton On during Christmas period, cooking and baking in Unilodge (look through my mobile photos in Facebook), shopping like mad people for the first time during Boxing Day (spent $200++ on clothes and stuffs), DOTA like mad every single day (gonna stop soon when uni starts), pool and ping pong almost every single day (Ernest Tan, Victor Hoo, Chern Goh and DiDi, let's have rematch in ping pong once you come back), sleeping till 11-12noon every single day, hotpot (aka steamboat) with summer friends...... and the list goes on and on.<br />
<br />
Too much stuff to talk about in here (actually I forgotten some of it) in such a short time. The only thing that I wanna tell you all is I have an AWESOME TIME with friends during summer. It's gonna be Chinese New Year soon, so basically I'll be 'a bit' busy these few days (baking cookies, cleaning up the room etc). Can't wait for the next potluck organized on the 22nd of January (团圆饭) with friends. Hopefully many people will attend that joyful event, where we going to eat AWESOME FOOD and talk crap in the same time. Cheers!!!<br />

PS: This year Chinese New Year will be a different feeling without you all, my parents as well as my elder brother and elder sister. Miss my lovely aunt and uncle from Singapore, cousin Benjamin Koh and Amanda Koh. Don't forget that my grandfather as well, who resting up there peacefully looking at us and protecting us from up there. My AWESOME godfather who always support me in everything what I've done. Miss you all.Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523485385864054898noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961635089637650709.post-37328885157691127072011-12-05T14:48:00.001+08:002011-12-05T15:45:17.220+08:00When I Look Back...I'm officially finished my first year as a Bachelor of Commerce student. Majoring in two subject is really tough, especially accounting and finance course is really challenging and boring in the same time. I just got my result today for my second semester, just an average result which I can't really complain about it. The only thing I hope is that I should do better next time, right from the beginning of the semester. That's the way I am, always playful and chillax at the beginning of the semester and don't really care about my tutorials and mid-term exam. In the end, I didn't get the result that I desired. Always play hard (at the begging of the semester) and study hard (when it reach final exam).<br />
<br />
When I looked back at what I've done and what I've achieve so far, well I can't complain much. I've done about 60% of what I aim to do when I reach Australia, well I didn't expect the competition here is fierce and madness compare back in Malaysia. It also means that even though I'm just an average student here in ANU, I deserve to be here. Competition is one of the obstacles that I have to face in my daily life, it also teaches me to stay strong and be competitive in whatever I do. Bad lecturer and good lecturer, bad tutor and good tutor, easy paper and hard/shit paper all I've faced in ANU in the first year. For those people who said ANU is not a good place for commerce students to study and they said Melbourne or Sydney or UNSW is way better than here, this is what I reply 'No matter where you study and what you've study, the most important things is that whether you can apply those things in reality life when u working or doing the stuffs you like'. So basically, I want to say that studying in ANU teaches me a lot of things in life as well as brought out the other side of me (good or bad, depends on your interpretation).<br />
<br />
The only things that I regret is I hope I can reverse what I've done to some of the situations throughout this year. I've tried to covered my weakness for the past few years but my past has come out once again, doing stuff without thinking rationally. My mom always scold me for that, guess karma punish me again this time. Well, I can't do anything now since no one create time-machine yet allowing me to change what I've had done. I just hope time will makes our memories vanishes, like a wind blowing dust away to the sky.<br />
<br />
Anyway, that's all for today. I'm gonna concentrate enjoying my stuff for the holiday (leisuring, playing games, watching movie, hangout with friends etc) See you all next time.<br />
<br />
Cheers.<br />

Well, not everyday is a sunny day. When all of my friends leaving Canberra for Malaysia, it seems that Canberra has the same feeling like me, raining for few days. Hahahaha, I can't believe I said that. It was hailing like mad on Tuesday, ice keep on hitting the window when it was hailing, making my night so much fun because there it was my first time experience in Canberra.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Update of the week: I finally start working in one of the top retail store in Australia, Cotton On. Benefits that I'm gonna receive: 50% off for Cotton On items (anything that you buy with full price), valuable experience, learn how to communicate with people (workers and customers) and I got to learn how to dress up appropriately (well, I still don't know how :P). It seems that the manager of Cotton On is really friendly, so I don't really feel stress working for 3hour per day. One thing I don't like is I only got 2 shift for the next 2 weeks. It seems I'll only earn a small amount of money T.T Probably I'll get a second job soon......I'll see how it goes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
PS: I got a lot of stuff in mind during the exam period, about what stuff I'm going to do during summer holiday. But now, I don't know what should I do first. Should I finished up Gears of Wars 3, or so other stuff (editing video, travel around Canberra, window shopping for shoes etc). Erm......I SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!</div>Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523485385864054898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961635089637650709.post-15834511603637793252011-11-27T15:24:00.001+08:002011-11-27T17:19:43.419+08:00To be continue...At last, I finished my exam for the first year in Australia. Tears and happiness which hard to be explain, hard to be express... Looking back to look at what I've achieved, I'm sure no one can achieved the same thing as me. Well, I've work hard and tireless for the mid year and final, all I hope now is I achieved the result of what I desired (Credit and Distinction). Not going to talk about it, now my job is to party and enjoy the summer before it ends. Safe flight everyone~~~ I'm so gonna miss my friends who going back to Malaysia.<br />
<br />

My friends shared it in the Facebook so that their friends can read (which I read it). Here I would like to share it to all my friends who visited my blog. Following is what is written in the blog (credit to the writer Jeff):<div>
<br /><br /><br />The other night, I had a conversation with a young woman who had a number of decisions ahead of her, one of which is whether she would go to grad school or <a href="http://goinswriter.com/why-travel/">travel</a> the world.<br /><br />I told her to travel. Hands down. <a href="http://goinswriter.com/you-have-no-excuse/">No excuse</a>. Just go.<br /><br /><a href="http://goinswriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/travel-young.jpg"><img src="http://goinswriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/travel-young-570x380.jpg" /></a><br />Photo credit: Flickr (Creative Commons)<br /></div>
<div>
She sighed.</div>
<div>
“Yeah, but…”<br /><br />Never were more fatal words spoken.<br /><br />Yeah, but… what about debt?Yeah, but… what about my job?Yeah, but… what about my boyfriend (or dog or car or whatever)?<br /><br />“Yeah, but…” is pernicious. Because it makes it sound like we have the best of intentions when really we are just too scared to do what we should.<br /><br />It allows us to be cowards, while sounding noble.<br /><br />Most people I know who waited to travel the world never did. Conversely, plenty of people who waited for grad school or a steady job and traveled still did those things — eventually.<br /><br />Be careful of the yeah-but. The yeah-but will kill your dreams.<br /><br />I was so stirred by this conversation that I shared it with a group of about thirty young adults last night, many of which are asking these very questions.<br /> The life you’ve always wanted<br /><br />When you get older, life seems to just sort of happen to you. Your youth is a time of total empowerment.<br /><br />You get to do what you want. As you mature and gain new responsibilities, you have to be very intentional about making sure you don’t lose sight of what’s important.<br /><br />So if you still have a reasonable amount of control over your circumstances, you should do what really matters. Because life won’t always be just about you.<br /><br />During early adulthood, your worldview is still being formed. It’s important to steward this time — to give yourself opportunities to grow. A good way to do that is to travel.<br /><br />So, young person, travel.<br /><br />Travel wide and far.<br /><br />Travel boldly.<br /><br />Travel with full abandon.<br /><br /><br />You will regret few risks you take, when it comes to this. I promise you.<br /><br /><br />There are three reasons to travel while you’re young:</div>
<div>
<b><u>1. Traveling teaches you to live an adventure</u></b></div>
<div>
<br /><br />When you look back on your life, you will have moments of which you are proud and maybe a few you regret. It’s likely that the following won’t be on the latter list: <br />Bicycled across the Golden Gate Bridge. <br />Appeared on Italian TV. <br />Hiked a Mayan ruin. <br />Learned Spanish in three months. <br />Toured Europe by train. <br /><br /><br />They’re not on mine (fun fact: I’ve done all of the above)<br /><br /><br />What, then, will be? <br />Holding back. <br />Being afraid. <br />Making excuses. <br />Not taking more risks. <br />Waiting. <br /><br /><br />While you’re young, you should travel.<br /><br /><br />You should take the time to see the world and taste the fullness of life. It is worth whatever monetary investment or time sacrifice that is required on your part.<br /><br /><br />It’s not about being a tourist. It’s about learning the importance of experiencing true risk and adventure so that you don’t have to live in <a href="http://goinswriter.com/fear-art/">fear</a> for the rest of your life.</div>
<div>
<br /><b><u> 2. Traveling helps you encounter compassion</u></b><br /><br />In your youth, you will make choices that will define you. The disciplines you begin now will be with you for the rest of your life.<br /><br /><br />Traveling will change you like little else can. It will put you in places that will force you to care for issues that are bigger than you.<br /><br /><br />If you go to southeast Asia, you may encounter the slave trade. If eastern Europe, you may see the effects of genocide and religious persecution. If Haiti, you’ll witness the the ugly side Western paternalism.<br /><br /><br />Your heart will break.<br /><br /><br />You will begin to understand that the world is both a big and small place. You will have a newfound respect for the pain and suffering that over half of the world takes for granted on a daily basis. And you will feel more connected to your fellow human beings in a deep and lasting way.<br /><br /><br />You will learn to care.<br /><b><u> 3. Traveling allows you to get some culture</u></b><br /><br /><br />While you’re still young, you should get cultured. Get to know the world and the magnificent people that fill it.<br /><br /><br />There’s nothing quite like walking alongside the Coliseum or seeing Michelangelo’s David in person. I can describe the city of San Juan and its amazing beaches and historic sites to you, but you really have to see it for yourself to experience it. You can read all the books in the world about the Great Wall of China or The Louvre, but being there is a different story.<br /><br /><br />The world is a stunning place, full of outstanding works of art. See it.<br /><br /><br />Do this while you’re still young. Do not squander this time. You will never have it again.<br /><br /><br />You have a crucial opportunity to invest in the next season of your life now. Whatever you sow, you will eventually reap.<br /><br /><br />Please. For your sake, do this.<br /><br /><br />You won’t always be young. And life won’t always be just about you. So travel. Experience the world for all it’s worth. Become a person of culture, adventure, and compassion.<br /> “What if I’m not young?”<br /><br />Travel, anyway. It may not be easy to do, but find a way to get out of your comfort zone. It’s really never too late.<br /><br />But if you haven’t gotten sucked into the routine of life yet, I implore you — travel. It will never be easier than it is right now for you to do that which really matters.<br /><br />If you’re young, have you traveled yet? Have you seen what the world has to offer and how it can change you? What’s holding you back?<br /><br />If you’re older, did you travel when you were young? What regrets do you have?<br /><br /><br /><br />Visit Jeff's blog here <a href="http://goinswriter.com/travel-young/">http://goinswriter.com/travel-young/</a></div>Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523485385864054898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961635089637650709.post-4700019808903888262011-10-31T10:32:00.001+08:002011-10-31T10:32:11.776+08:00In Dilemma....10 days to my final examination Macroeconomics, yet I have no mood and stress to force myself to study.

<a href="http://images.apple.com/iphone/home/images/animation/title_hero.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://images.apple.com/iphone/home/images/animation/title_hero.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
To buy or not to buy, this is the most important question for today because today was the first day iPhone 4S being introduced in the public in Apple headquarter, Cupertino. It's been quite some times Apple keeping this product under their sleeves, making people wondering what features they going to introduced in this new phone. Bloggers, news writers, geeks and other speculating what type of upgrades and new features going to be introduced this time by Apple new CEO, Tim Cook. All social network sites especially Facebook was filled with updates about the excitement of new iPhone. Well, it doesn't last long.....<br />
<br />
Several new features being upgraded internally (camera, dual core A5 chips etc), but nothing has changed on the outside. Want to know what has been upgraded??? Let's get it started!!!<br />
<br />
First, we talk about processor and battery life. The iPhone 4S features Apple's A5 dual-core 1GHz processor along with a dual-core GPU, an upgraded version form it's predecessor A4 chip. Apple says the new chipset will make the iPhone 4S twice as fast and offer graphics performance that is seven times faster than the iPhone 4's. With the powerful processor, the company claims the smartphone will be able to provide 8 hours of talk time over 3G, 14 hours over 2G, 6 hours of browsing over 3G, 9 hours via Wi-Fi, 10 hours of video playback, and 40 hours of music playback.<br />
<br />
Next, we talk about the new feature of voice assistant being introduced called Siri. Basically, Siri is designed to deliver information or follow commands that you give it. For example, you can check the weather, ask for a contact's address, set up a reminder, get directions, and ask for obscure trivia like the height of Mount Everest. You speak with a robotic female voice (you can't change her identity) and access the feature by holding down the Home button. <br />
<br />
Now, come to the camera part. iPhone 4S has an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus, flash, f/2.4 aperture lens, and a backside-illuminated CMOS sensor that allows 73 percent more light than the previous sensor and should deliver better low-light performance. A hybrid IR filter is also onboard for better color accuracy. Apple also claims the new camera performs 33 percent faster than the iPhone 4's camera, and the A5 processor has a built-in image processor that adds face detection and 26 percent better auto white balance. Videos also get a boost with the ability to shoot 1080p HD video clips at 30 frames per second and with video stabilization. It means a good news for those who lazy to carry around their camera around.<br />
<br />
We all know that when iPhone 4 first being introduced 16 months ago, they have the issue about the connectivity. Today, iPhone 4S is being upgraded to a dual-band world phone, meaning it supports both GSM and CDMA. According to the review, what's yet to be determined is whether the carriers will unlock the preloaded SIM card, so users can swap it out for a prepaid international SIM card at their destination. We also don't know if the CDMA models will offer simultaneous voice and data over the CDMA network. Meanwhile, for GSM customers, the iPhone 4S now supports HSPA+ 14.4, so the smartphone is capable of reaching theoretical download speeds of 14.4Mbps down, 5.8Mbps up. It's certainly an improvement over the current model, but disappointing that there's no compatibility with the faster HSPA+ 21Mbps networks.<br />
<div>
<br />
Apple newest operating system will be feature in iPhone 4S. Is it a good news for the users?? It is said that it is the world's most advance mobile operating system. It brings about 200 new features to iPhone 4S. Some of the features are notification center, iMessage and Twitter integration. If you want to learn more about this thing, <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/ios/">click here</a>.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I'm gonna talk about the design and price. iPhone 4S looked exactly the same as its predecessor. The only slight difference changed is the back part of the phone, where aluminium case had replaced the glass cover. The price??? Currently I'm staying in Australia, so I don't know the real price here. But in US, the iPhone 4S will be available for preorder on October 7; it goes on sale October 14 from AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint in the U.S. It will come in black and white and pricing starts at $199 for the 16GB version, $299 for 32GB, and $399 for 64GB.</div>
<div>
<b><u>Comment:</u></b><br />
To buy or not to buy??? My advice is for those who have iPhone4, don't buy because it was not a good investment. It will be better if we just wait for iPhone 5 to come out in another 2 years time. But for those who had waited for so long, and they don't even have a smartphone, GO GET IT NOW!!! And for those Apple geeks and Apple collectors, just do whatever you think is right. <br />

Famous people such as Albert Einstein, Issac Newton, Alexander Graham Bell etc facing tonnes of difficulties before they become successful in their life. This things have been planted in my mind for so many years, telling myself if other people can be famous and successful in their life, why can't I??<br /><br />But my life is getting harder and harder. Sometimes, I believe that things happen for a reason. Sometimes, I just feel like give up and feel emo all the time. I wonder did I deserve to face this kind of obstacles?? I just pray that my will become better in the future :)<br /><br />“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.” (Albert Einstein n.d.)Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523485385864054898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961635089637650709.post-49141670647690477182011-09-05T15:01:00.001+08:002011-09-05T15:02:27.541+08:00PMS = Permanently in Moody StateThis is what I feel these few days, really a bad feeling.....Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523485385864054898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961635089637650709.post-5784039075081127032011-08-05T18:22:00.005+08:002011-08-05T20:47:31.262+08:00New Semester, New LifeSecond week for the second semester has officially ended. Why did my class finished on Thursday afternoon, but I decided to post it today?? Well, I need to think whether today will be the appropriate time for me to post something on my blog, and indeed today is the right moment for me to post something useful in my blog.<br /><br />Well, I start off with what had happen these past 2 weeks. On the first week, or we call it the O-week, everyone was busy with their own thing, for example going for their lecture for the first time after a long break, looking for the course outline about what going to happens for the next 14 weeks, sign-up for their tutorial, going for various event like Bush Week and Market Day etc, crashing other people's lecture so that they can get some information whether it's the right subject to take.....etc etc. Well, it was an insane week for everyone in ANU, but all of us manage to get through it smoothly. I manage to sign-up the tutorial that I desire (which means I fit all the tutorial in my timetable perfectly), hoping that I will get a good tutor. Textbook is one of the most troublesome thing to find..... the book is expensive, secondhand book hard to find (even I found it. the price is inappropriate). Well I ended up didn't buy any textbook in my first week =.=lll<br /><br />The hectic moment started on the second week. As stated in the course outline, we have to attend all tutorial even though there is no participation marks. WTHeck!!! However, consider that I seldom self-study, it's better for me to go and attend the tutorial, at least I learn something.... This is what I think before I enter my tutorial. But, it ended up half bad half not bad. Good news is BUSN1002 Accounting Process tutor is my lecturer herself, which means I lucky to get her to teach me. BUSN1101 Intro to Commercial Law is not bad either, a 40+ years old tutor with law background comes and teach us. The bad news is ECON1102 Macroeconomics is a nerdy tutor (no offence) who hoping some answer from us, and then didn't explain how to tackle each of the question as well as expecting us to know all stuff about macroeconomics. Sigh~~~<br /><br />Second weeks in ANU is also consider as one of my worst week for the month I faced. I feel so down and grumpy every single day. I feel no joy doing something that I like anymore, I only smile when people expecting me to smile. I just don't feel right in everything that I've done. Maybe because I receive a lot of bad news these few days. I hope I will recover as soon as possible (depression is my worst enemy) before the second semester reach the peak. After a long thought, I think it's a good time for me to restructure my life again. I shall give some time to myself to slowly think what I want to do with my life, not what I need to do with my life. I can imagine if I didn't do it today, someday in the future I might ended up doing some bad things with my life(I think you can guess what it is). <br /><br />Time to sign off now. See you in the future.<br /><br />PS: I will be offline for all SNS (Social Network Sites) for 2-3 weeks. The only thing that I will on is my phone, so if you have anything you want to talk to me,just call me. BYE!!!<br /><br />如果你知道我在说着你,我想告诉你‘在这段时期,我就忙我的事,你忙你的事吧’。Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523485385864054898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961635089637650709.post-37463513202906554972011-07-23T10:16:00.001+08:002011-07-23T10:19:23.023+08:00Holiday finally ended T_TFinally winter break is over!!!! 4 weeks in Melbourne and 1 week in Sydney truly makes my holiday memorable.
