PROTON PM5

I got the pictures of the Proton concept car from email forwards and I'd have to say that it certainly gets my vote. Yes, you could say whatever you want about Malaysia, that it's not advanced, the car sucks and all that...but I'm telling you my friend, we are getting there. We are getting better day by day.

What's that I hear coming out from your mouth? WOW? Yes, indeed it is a 'wow' factor. A toast for the development of cars in Malaysia.

P/S: By the way, just in case you're wondering on what my favourite car is...so far, it's the VW new beetle. It rocks my socks off.

Xootr

I am very into my kick scooter or my kick board as some of you may say it. I've had an aluminium china-made ones for years. I would say it has been more than 5 years...definetely more than that.It's a bit rusty and the wheels squeek but so far, it still runs. I am thinking of getting one but money is pretty hard around here so I'll just have to window shop. At first I looked into the Razor and the go-ped ones, they were impressive but then I came across a xootr. It's beautiful, functional and damn, I wish I could have one too. I like the MG ones, they have a sleek figure that makes the razor scooters look like a toy. Go figure xootr.

The good thing about this is the company ships worldwide..even to Malaysia...DUH! worldwide! hehehe. The cons to it is the price of it including the shipping. It will probably cost me $300 to get the Mg ones and then transport them here. More or less like an ipod nano 2nd gen. Damn, it's so sad that I have a nano 2nd generation but not the xootr.

My dad bought for me my ipod...God bless his soul because for being such a shrewd man, he bought me an ipod. I was very surprised and in a way touched by his actions. If only I had discovered the xootr then, I would have opted to get MG Xootr rather than the ipod. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to find ways to get some paypal money. If only there was a way to busk online, I'd sign up for it. lol. Any takers for being my audience - paying audience. hahaha...

Oh baby, oh baby. Very sexy in every sense...I WANT ONE!!!

U Rock Mini Guitar MP3 Player

I found this nifty little gadget on the internet.

"An MP3 player that is not only a guitar, but is as small as your pinky. Its an MP3 that is fit for a smurf or just one of those mythical characters in those story books. This handle little MP3 player features 1GB storage, MP3 and WMA playback support, with tiny guitar pick and speaker which functions as a portable speaker. It goes for $101.59. You can be the judge whether or not it’s worth it." Quoted from www.techfresh.net

I love it. I love the idea of it but unfortunately I think it's much too expensive for me but nevertheless, I still think it's a great idea. If anyone buys this, tell me how the sound is like...if its decent or not.

locked and loaded

I went out one fine evening and guess what I found...

The iPhone...and yes, the original AND UNLOCKED ones.

The reason as to why I am excited about it is because the iPhones are not supposed to be out in the Asian market yet.

hmm...people nowadays...are damn smart!

oh and by the way, I was captivated the second I saw the iPhone. It was lovely, very solid, very elegant looking and much like the LG Prada...the only downside to it was the price tag that comes along with it. It is for sale at a whoping RM2600++. I saw two iPhones and both of them have different prices. The earlier one I saw was about RM3000 and the second one I saw was about RM2600.

One word..'wow'
