All of a sudden, out of the blue, when the sky is green and the ocean is red… i receive an email from one of the Samsung Techarp organizers from the last event i went and whaduyunoe… they are calling for us to try out the phone! muahahaa.

and if we’re lucky enough, we might win it too! WHY?

1. Samsung is organizing an all day event for this, called the Samsung INNOV8 Run! (means we have to run?) The Samsung INNOV8 phone is the world’s first 8 megapixel phone and participants will be the first in Malaysia to experience the multi-featured phone.  I WANNA GOOOO!!

2. By going to the event.. we get to … *ekhem* POSE with new gadgets! (like last year)

3. And try the crazy 8MP PHONE! (Check out the sleeeeeeek design.)

DID I SEE A DIVX ON THE BACK? O_o OWNSSS!

4. then again… i think the main thing is to bond with old (and hopefully new lengchai) friends :D. Run (or drive) around doing crazy things (mainly taking our own pictures) with our cameras (AND A ZOMG 8MP PHONE – Can print out and put as wallpaper on your home wall wtf)

5. and then of course.. most importantly… KEEP tkaing pictures of us wherever we go with different backgrounds and different poses. (hopefully with the new 8MP PHONE WTF). That’s just how we roll… keep take pictures onleh.. (you like or i like wtf)

6. Pic below is not taken with an 8MP phone. Did i say 8MP PHONE? oh well.. I just want to try out an 8MP PHONE. You know… 8MP? 8… that’s just a very nice number, eight. 8. lapan. wtf. 

7. So hopefully… i get to go to this event (altho it clashes with something similar i have but then…nothing beats 8MP wtf). SAMSUNG.. SEE HOW I KEEP EMPHASIZING 8MP? You can thank me by giving me the phone. 8MP. 8MP 8MP 8 MP8MP8MP8………. o_O

8. SAMSUNG INNOV8 RUN 2008! I WANNA GO~~ zomg. now i know why it’s called INNOV8. 8MP!!! 2008!! 88888!!!  

8. Thank YOu samsung! :D

ps :: To go to the event… ekhem, we even had a conference chat to discuss how we’re going to be a team and all wtf

okaylah. i dont know why i keep blogging about gadgets and toys lately but .. seriously why everything have upgraded and getting more expensive T_T

and oh yeah.. my home’s connection is still down wtf, called streamyx and have to wait for them to come around like after a few days so i am currently bored to the bone and blogging shits but yeah. i dont care if you dont care (jesus of suburbia. geddit geddit gedddit???)

Oh.. and by the by, i got a new ephiphany yesterday while reaching for my ankle when doing the trikosana. i think…… i should just LET GO. :) AND LET THINGS BE. wtf.

and while rummaging through the piles of clothes on sale in topshop… a lawyer reminded me of another thing.

KARMA.

hahaa.. okaylah. this is supposed to be a samsung post so YEAH BYE BYE HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND *WAVES HAND IN THE AIR AND SCREAMSSS I DONT CAREEEEE*

Only Apple could make a notebook like this. Hardware and software. Design and engineering. Production and manufacturing. They’re all part of a single process at Apple. When you start using your new MacBook Pro, you’ll discover what that means. The light and sturdy unibody protects the components inside. The LED-backlit display — along with the graphics processor that helps power it — gives you faster games and a brilliant canvas for your photos, movies, and more. The glass Multi-Touch trackpad feels as good as it functions. From the smallest detail to the biggest engineering breakthrough, the new MacBook Pro truly is the next generation of notebooks.

Precision aluminum. The new gold standard.

Carved from a single block of aluminum, the new MacBook Pro unibody enclosure is slim and streamlined with a soft-brushed surface and stunning contours. But it’s not all about beauty. The unibody also makes MacBook Pro more durable than ever. You can throw it in your briefcase or messenger bag and pull it out at an airport, in a hotel room, or on location without a second thought. So wherever you go, you have everything you need to edit, compose, design, and create.

It’s like having an orgasm just looking at the machine. Click HERE for full tech specs.

I’d give Chrome a perfect 9/10 if not 10/10 since it’s still in it’s beta stage.

Download CHROME HERE

The best of chrome :: Combining Safari’s sleek elegant look and fixing Firefox’s Javascript bugs. SORRY, IE is not a competitor anymore.

Throwing away all the useless tabs and only giving you what you need. SWEET!

Grouping your frequent visits to a main page. DOUBLE SWEET!

What’s more, the processing power use is less than Firefox or Safari combined. awesomeness.

It also lets you surf incognito and i am simply loving the download tab and the status bar which pops up when you need it.

And the best part of it all.. One application that crashes on your browser will not make the whole browser crash! whoops! LOVE LOVE LOVE! It also have the task manager and stats for nerds option if you’re looking at maximizing your processing power and download speed! aweeeeeeeeeeesome.

This is going to be my default browser from now onwards. GOOGLE. YOU RAWK! PLEASE GO AHEAD AND IMPROVE THIS FURTHER FOR THE PERFECT LAUNCH!

Phone comes in Black and White. But the white one is not in the market yet. Obviously i bought the black one because i am black cat =.=. And it’s so pretty lah. Dont know why slim phones always gets to me.

 
Alright. The calendar feature is almost the same like my N76, but i like the view in E71 more than my N76. It looks more organized and packed. Actually one of the main features i use most in phones will be the email and calendar client. Which is the reason why E71 is my best choice. Reading emails and smses are so organized now! Besides, i love the Message Reading function the E series have. It’s just too cool. I came to work this morning screaming and telling everyone about it. :)

And yeap. This is the MUST HAVE feature for my new/next phone. :) GPS navigation. I will not be lost EVER AGAIN. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

Oooo.. did i mention that the phone is slimmer than my N76? If you’ve seen my N76 before, you’d scream OMG IS that a phone? But now.. THE E71 is slimmer than that! OMG! It’s the size of 3 credit cards stack together. And the features that comes with it? BOOM. Best nokia phone ever. Packed with features and looks sleek and classy. At least i think it is :) My colleague think’s it only suits “business uncles”  but i beg to differ. So stylo milo like no tomorrow ok.

I guess the only boohoo is that it doesn’t come with the front camera. But i can live with that because i no longer camwhore, as much =.=. And it will be a pain to make video calls but then again, i dont really use that anyway. And funny thing is, a lot of my friends don’t like using it either.
