So, about 2-months ago, I was out on a weekend having some late night "lok lok" with a couple of friends. Everything was fine until I suddenly felt dizzy. After paying up, I felt dizzy, the type of dizziness commonly associated with a head rush. You know, you see "stars" and your vision begins to blur.
Thinking it was just a head rush, I decided to ignore it and let it pass. Boy was I wrong.

Slipknot's Paul Gray has died at the age of 38.
The bassist was found dead in his hotel room in Des Moines, Iowa, earlier today (May 24).
A couple of weeks back, I blogged about a Time Attack event which was organized by Zerotohundred in conjunction with their 10th anniversary.
Here is a brief summary of what happened that day. (Videos and pictures after the jump)

Now, if you're still in the dark about this, recently there was a big hoo-haa on the internet about a supposedly lost iPhone 4 in a bar. Apple has done it again. This time in Vietnam.
Maxis customers may now enjoy the full experience of next-generation smart devices such as the Apple iPad 3G with the introduction of the Micro SIM from Maxis
"Street Fighter: Legacy" is a 3-minute fan made short film based on the Capcom game.
I must say that this 3-minute short film is way way waaaayy better than the first Street Fighter movie (Van Damme) and The Legend of Chun-Li.
Video and funny screen shots after the jump

I have a mad obsession for the original 1989 Batmobile. I really do. You can read more from HERE and HERE.
So you can imagine the excitement when I found out that Taiwanese superstar, Jay Chou had recently acquired an actual Batmobile.

In conjunction with ZeroToHundred's(ZTH) 10th Anniversary, there will be a Time Attack track event in Sepang this Sunday, 9th May 2010. Which is also Mother's Day btw.
Promptly named "Time To Attack", this event looks like it's going to be a big one.
100 cars will take to the track, battling it out for the fastest time around Sepang International Circuit.
More details after the jump.

Were you born in the 80's? Are you a fan of ol' skool music? Deep Purple? Nirvana? The Jackson 5?
Are you a CD collector?

So, Apple has approved the Opera Mini web browser for the iPhone. A shocking decision if you ask me. I mean, why would Apple allow its customers to use a competitor's web browser other than its own? It is almost general knowledge that Opera browsers are "faster" than the other available browsers out there.
April 3rd will see the launch of the much anticipated iPad.
However, people seemed to be more focused on the supposed "new iPhone", dubbed the "iPhone HD".
Still months away from June/July, all that we can do now is speculate.
So what's new in the "iPhone HD"?
A4 Processor
This is basically a 1GHz processor with onboard graphics.
A rather significant boost from the 600MHz processor residing in current generation iPhone 3GS'.
960 x 640 Display
Double the resolution of the current iPhones. Current iPhones are 480 x 320. This is good as it will ease compatibility issues with current iPhone apps and games.
Multitasking
Front-facing Camera / Video Call
Nothing new to modern day mobile phones with cameras, but sadly it was missing from all the previous iPhones. Hopefully this feature will make it onto the "iPhone HD".
It has been rumored that Apple will announce SOMETHING on June 22. Mark your calendars.

w00t! NASA's very last night space shuttle launch was a GO!

Godspeed to the crew of space shuttle Endeavour.

Speakers come in many forms, shapes, size and quantity as well. We have 2.1, 5.1 and also 7.1
The more speakers the better of course (most of the time la). But SONY has upped the game with their Sountina (NSA-PF1) model. This speaker "system" is an all-in-one system and it looks gorgeous.
This is a typical home theater setup;
Yes, that tall thin device is an entire home theatre system. The bottom is the woofer, slightly higher than that is the amplifier, then comes the mid-range and lastly in the glass tube are the tweeters.
I popped by the Sony Style in KLCC earlier today and they had the Sountina on demo. The demo runs daily at 1pm and 3pm, and I must say that I was very impressed. The room had nothing but 2 chairs at each end, and the Sountina right smack in the middle. Sitting on one end of the room, it sounded like there was sound coming from every angle. Something you'd expect from a 5.1 or 7.1 setup.
It was hard to believe that all that sound was coming from the middle of the room. Amazing.

Got this from Yahoo!Games.
This dude has 36 World of Warcraft accounts and he plays them simultaneously on 11 different machines. @_@
Like WTF. What the hell does this guy do? He is paying USD5711 annually on subscription fees alone for all 36 accounts. That is over RM20,000 every year!
What about other expenses? Such as his electricity bill. Must cost a pretty penny to run 11 different machines all at the same time for long-hours. Maintaining and upgrading the machines will also cost him some money.
Shit, talk about obsessed.

Been neglecting my blog lately. Nothing much to say.
Let’s see.. the house hunting still continues. Not going to rush into buying a property now, since the economy is so bad and uncertain, I think it’s best that we take our time. Even if it means having to pay rent for the house after the sale has gone through.
Better that way than rushing to buy a property and regret it later on. A new home is a long-term and I mean LONG-TERM thing and it’s best not to rush into it. If I was some sort of multi-million/billionaire then no problem lah. Can change houses like changing boxers. Oh well..
Apple just launched its new line of Macbook and Macbook Pros.
Apple products continue to fucking amaze me. Too bad they are so pricey.
People often ask me what’s so great about Macs? I guess you’d have to use and I mean REALLY USE one to understand why Macs are so freaking awesome.
