My Ramadhan Gift - iPhone 3GS

I have been an iPhone user since early last year and I haven't turned back to other phone ever since. Despite using only the first generation or well referred by public as the '2G' iPhone, the thing is a wonder! I have used Symbian and Windows Mobile-based phone/PDA before, but with this iPhone, I have entered a new communication world without 'boundaries'. There will always be a new thing to be discovered everyday in the Application Store! Haha.

When Apple decided to release the much-hyped second generation 3G iPhone, I didn't buy it as I know the improvement over the 2G was not that much. People still need to download third party application for video recording, MMS and others. And the operating system is also pretty much the same. So I let the people enjoy the 'incompleteness' while I'm saving up for the real deal..hehehe.

I had my first touch of the 3GS when I was in Glasgow in June. My heart almost stopped when I see how the web pages load over WiFi. Its 'surrealistically' FAST! I'm not exaggerating, but but it was effortless for the phone to load pages with lots of photos. The 3.2mp camera with video function (and editing pane, yes you can edit your video sraight away) will make other phones run for their money. Another main feature that attracted me is the iPhone's capability to perform internet 'tethering' or in a layman's term - being a modem, either through USB or Bluetooth. And then there's the real-time compass, and Voice Control, and free EuroSport application, and GPS maps, and iPod with Nike support, and more, and more. I know one thing for sure that I bloody have to buy this when I get back to Malaysia.

So after scouting for about a week from Maxis and other handphone dealers, I decided not to get Maxis' iPlan for iPhone 3GS and also wait for about a month for the phone to arrive. Instead I bought it from a dealer at Lowyat Plaza and maintain my current Maxis plan with UNLIMITED DATA usage per month..tee hee hee. So I dont have to worry and guesstimate how many MB or GB of data I have used every month, and being slapped with 10sen/KB data charges whenever I exceeded my usage limit!

Anyways, before I sign off I would say the iPhone is a good all-round comminucation tool with sleek design and cheeky features. Recommended to everyone.

Maxxing Out @ MEX!

Another nite out with the FD2R gang few nites ago. We cruised around KL after having dinner in PJ then headed to MEX highway for the "R" battle. :)

While we were doing the photoshoot at one of the R&R, we saw two SUVs stopped and parked right besides the road. Few men came out and walked towards us. We were like...."Oh man, its the boys in blue!!!" ....and indeed, the few men were wearing blue shirts and it turned to be the biggest surprise to all of us.. it was the TRACY SPORTS team yooooo!!!!!! They were here for the MME and they took the nite out cruising to Putrajaya. They saw the Type-Rs chasing each other on MEX and decided to follow the bunch. LOL. We were speechless as they mingled with us for couple of minutes and even took photos from their own cameras. One of the Japan guys even said "K20, verry good and pawaful!" HAHAH. Let's hope that we can see our photos inside their web soon.

It was a rare experience for us though, to have met one of the hardcore Japanese Honda tuner in the midde of the night by the roadside of MEX! The boys were too excited to meet with Tracy they forgot to snap pics using their DSLRs..Bummer!

Here's a little quote i thought of few moments ago. This goes to all the "Nightkids" of the highways. "He who has removed the speedcut shall win". Ha ha ha!

Shirt: RM100

Sticket Kit: RM60

FD2s and DC5s

A little meet was held between the FD2 and DC5 group for the Hup Yik Tyres grand opening in Batu Caves last two weeks. Chris from Pentagon Enterprise was present with his J's Racing FD2R. Wait, there was not only one but TWO FD2Rs equipped with different J's Racing bodykits! A beautiful sight indeed.
