Almost 40 years ago we sent man to the moon. Doctors transplant vital organs, grow new skin for burns victims, animals & humans are being cloned, and computers can now fit into the palm of your hand. Communication has progressed at a rapid pace. Operator connected calls, telegrams and red public phone boxes have made way for a new era in communication technology. World leaders, politicians, royalty, international corporations, friends and families communicate across the globe, can contact or be contacted almost immediately at the touch of a button. How amazed we were with the release of the "mobile brick". The big black carry case, spiral cord, huge handset and aerial, that weighed a ton. It wasn't that long ago. Technology progressed, mobiles are smaller and smaller. More and more features were added, we now have colour graphics, musical ringtones, SMS, MMS, and internet access. We now have the ultimate. Phone, Email, Computer, Internet, Organiser, Camera, Music. A device that fits in the palm of your hand and allows you to access your desktop computer and work files from anywhere. They are the most up to date, advanced communication tools on the market today.
Why then, do they lack the most basic of mobile phone functions?What is the point of having a device with the ability to hold so much vital information and is such an important tool for business, if the tiniest glitch such as battery failure or loss of power results in every file and piece of data being wiped from the memory? Most standard mobiles save all data directly to the SIM card regardless of battery disconnection or failure. Did nobody think this feature was important???The inconvenience and sheer time consumption involved reloading settings and info, re- establishing network settings etc is more of a hindrance than an advantage. After 3 battery failures, 6 hours just trying to power up the phone and keep it on, I'm left with a $900 clock.This is technology gone mad.
hi boys and girls of akp, it's my inaugural post and i thought i'd be a good akp-ian and post some pics of our recent JB trip.
seeing how MOST DID NOT turn up (save your excuses already), and there were only FIVE of us (namely edric, benjamin, sham-ong, daniel and myself), we naturally embarked on our journey a little... hurt and dissappointed.
there was no camera and thus i snapped a couple of pics with my shitty camera phone, dan and sham helped too. turns out we had a FUCKING GREAT trip (eat your hearts out) despite the lack of the usual rowdy bunch. see, we dont need nash or charles to have a memorable JB outing :P
this trip, we did a few new things on top of the usual itinery of go-kart and DVD shopping. for one we got to experience the truly GHETTO part of JB by going to the wet market for some seafood shopping and also we went to uncle bachok's house. enough said, here are the pics:
daniel actually drove...
YEAH RIGHT HAHA! you need truly l33t skillz to drive in JB, watch and learm from uncle bachok.
"NO POLE DANCING PLEASE" no shit.
ben's "yummy" desert of green worms and their crap.
a very big, angry fish.
a very small, desperate lizard.
edric's finger, hoping to fulfil the lizard's fantasy...

After much deliberation and contemplation, I've decided I'll put forth my plan to put on braces. Yes yes, I've been talking about it since like year 1 but this time I'm positive and determined. I had given up thought before enlistment because I was apprehensive about the pain and all but Joe's decision to put his got me thinking again. What's momentary pain when I will no longer have to feel inferior because of my stupid front teeth again?
Let's just say I'm sick and tired of being called "bugs bunny" or "ba gey" and being ridiculed because of that dumb protrusion at the front of my mouth. After so many years, its starting to wear me out. Nobody's perfect right? Some losers can never grow out of taunting me about my teeth.
