Drivers? You are not !

Driving.

I just cannot stand the way Malaysian drivers drive anymore.

The number of road accidents in Malaysia has increased steadily over the last three decades. How i know? It's according to a report by Free Malaysia Today, showing that the problem may be getting worse for Malaysian citizens. Some Malaysians are calling for major changes in the manner in which motoring offences are dealt, hoping that this will re-educate drivers for the better and encourage a more responsible attitude towards driving.


I'm very frustrated with those attitudes on road. Everyday i had to spend some of my 'quality' time in my car travelling, especially for work. But it seems like the drivers around aint helping at all. These days, i have monitored Malaysian drivers, especially Ipoh drivers when they are driving on the road. I personally think driving on the road brings a lot of pressure especially during peak hours. Pressure at work, pressure at road too.

Malaysian drivers who forever thinks they are fastest among all other drivers. This happens a lot on the highways. They will speed fast and try to scare anyone that is slower by highlighting or following very closely behind them. They are a threat to everybody. Slower drivers are forced to switch lane just to let them pass through. Malaysian drivers are likely high light whenever they like to do so. They just could not care if it has an effect on other drivers’. Apparently they just have that bad manner.

Malaysian drivers are not scared about being caught by the police for traffic offences and a lot of drivers tried to escape from it. Good drivers are usually watchful. They watch other road users cautiously, and expect their activities so as to keep away from misfortunes.

But somehow i feel that no matter how good a driver can be, he might involved into an accident due to others' mistake and carelessness. How will this happens? It is not just how careful you can be then you can escape from an accident. Like for example for what i've meet just few hours ago when i was on the way to McDonald with my Bay. Two lane stopped at the traffic light waiting for green to turn right. I was on the left lane and a van and green Proton Saga were on the right lane. And when the green light turned, when we turning right, they just dont care whether there is any car on their left and just turn to my lane. I can understand that they might worried their speed will make drivers behind them angry, but how about me on their left lane? Luckily they were not speeding, or else i'll be either lying on the grassland roadside or lying on the hospital.

The same goes to the drivers in highways. They just cannot stay at own lane perfectly. I mean when any curve roads or so, they need two lanes in order to complete it. They have totally neglected other drivers. And not to mentioned that their skill, TERUK (terrible). I've even meet worst. Lorry drivers, i mean, truckers, those 12 wheels or more wheels 'lorry'. They could just put a right signal and straightaway entering your lane without worrying his 'backside' will hit your car. They expecting you will stop for them. There was i, traffic jam, and the trailer was too long and i could not able to stop as i do not want to bear the risk of being hit by the car behind. I warned him and let him know that i need to pass-by first. But after two three times he continuously did that, he get frustrated and blocked my car, opened his door and spit on my car. How angry was i back then. I straightaway made a report. And i still can remember the number plate ACU9333. Just sharing to let readers to be aware of him next time on road.

It is recommended that drivers can change their attitude on the road so that they do not harm anyone. If Malaysian drivers do not change their bad habits, and continue their old attitudes, there will be a rise in fatal accidents, despite all the efforts done by all. Forever think that your vehicle as something that is unsafe and should be driven carefully and with accountability. By this approach, you can facilitate to reduce misfortune or not turn out to be the reason of one. I definitely dont want to witness another accident infront of me with the motorist lifted and dropped on the floor, no more reaction on him, i guess it is either he's died or he's fainted. And it all just happened infront of me where the motorist right overtaking me and being hit by the car coming out of a junction. Everything happened just in a second.

Out of sudden something flashes in my mind. Could it be the examiner's fault? i mean, the person who exam which person are qualified to get a license and which are not. Over the years from what i can see, it is almost 100% guaranteed to get the driving license. How many of you has a friend which failed in the test? None i guess, or most probably one in a million. *lol* I definitely hope government could do something to this. This is a very serious matter which involving human lifes. Anyway to end this post, there is some jokes about Malaysian driver's attitude i found.

1. One hand on wheel, one hand on horn: IPOH driver

6. Both hands on wheel, eyes shut, both feet on brake, quivering in terror: FOREIGNER, driving in MALAYSIA.

7. One hand on 12 oz. Double shot latte, one knee on wheel,talking on cell phone, foot on brake, mind on radio game, banging headon steering wheel while stuck in traffic: SUBANG JAYA DRIVER…..on the Federal Highway!!!

8. One hand on wheel, one hand on passengers head rest,alternating between both feet being on the accelerator and both feet on brake, throwing rambutans or durian shells out the window: KARAK HIGHWAY KUANTAN driver.

9. Four-wheel drive pick-up truck, READY-TO-KILL attitude, rear window stickers read “Make my day”, beer cans on floor, wedding  ribbon still attached to antenna: CONSTRUCTION SITE….PUCHONG driver!

10.One hand on the handphone, another hand picking nose, One leg on the dash board, another leg crossed on the seat with a beer can in the middle ~ turning anywhere he likes, parking anywhere he likes, in fact, driving anywhere he likes. aaahhh….. this is a heaven for drivers  ……welcome to PENANG!

11. Two hands gripping tightly to the wheel, eyes glued on the windscreen, alternately stepping on the accelerator and brakes every 5 seconds. WOMAN  DRIVER!

Anyway, drive safe drivers. =)

Shirley Qiu's mind set

What is always on my mind?

How do i always think about things?

I guess i found some old posts from my Wretch blog that could describe how do i think about things, interaction between human i guess *lol*. Well it might be a very boring long post and yet this is what i was thinking. Just a post with purely my own personal thoughts. This is me, so? lol

...................................................................................................................................

Actually , human love to solve what is [ not owns ] matters. Human feeling of powerlessness because we tend to take responsibilities which are not ours. If someone fall into pain, no need to worry and sad because that pain will let him grow up, If the pain will give him new life then just let it be. Sometimes help might not just harm him, might harm ourself as well.

For year we realized, we tend to help others to ease their pain, to take their burden and put on owns shoulder, and following up, is we tend to exhausted with it. The main reason of our feeling of powerlessness, is we tend to take task that is not ours, we tend to change things that cannot or dont want to change. Of course , i know and understand the feeling of difficulties. Difficulties of let it be the person that we care, the person that we worry, especially when they are spoiling themselves. But what you can do? If you can, this situation wont be happening right? In reality, we found out that many people are over worried. Cannot let it be of many things, worrying their parents,children,old folks in home, spoiling friends. But then, human have to grow up. If we gave too much care to him, his heart will getting delicate even their heart at first can get stronger. If we keep giving walking stick, how could he grown up? Over protected someone is not a good thing because he cannot learn to move on himself.

Human, wants to live in happiness. First of all they have to know how to differenciate this is [who's] matters. Bryon Katie said that on this world there are three matters : [My matters] [Your matters] and [God matters].

There is a real life case:

A person found out that he suffering with lung's cancer. Following, he practices an attitude. He left his cancer to the doctor because this is [Your matters] not [My matter]. He left his soul to the God, because this is [God matters] not [My matters]. Then he do what he should do on the days he left because that is [My matters]. That is how he keep himself out of worry and sad, because he is doing what is his matters, what he should do at this moment instead of worrying cancer can be cured or not, worrying when he will passed away.

Remember, vexation and trouble will not come and find you unless you find them yourself.

Fortunately, God never give us what we wanted. Whenever we cannot get what we wanted, we often blame the God for it. But when time passes, then we will realized when God didnt give what we wanted, often there will be a deeper kindness and goodwill. We wont missed anything. What we missed is actually not ours. We might missed Plan A, but maybe God already arrange Plan B for us. Looking back the past, all those frustration we've been through, now only we realized those frustration actually equals to belated blissfulness. Who knows it from the start?

God set road blocks in our life is not wanted us to jump higher. God wants us to take another way and we will find another scenery, we will learn from the other road God wants us to take.

When we come to this world, we didnt bring anything. We own our life after we came to this world. So, dont sad or worry of losing everything in your life. No big deal. Just have to remember the fact that we come to this world without anything. The worst, we only getting back to the starting point, where we starting to get everything we have now. Looking back all these years, everything is keep losing and dissapearing. No matter how much blissfulness we have, our happy family, lovely couple, friendship but when impermanence comes around, things still will losing and dissapearing. Is just the matter of time. So dont hold-on on something overly. Eventually we know we cannot take away anything when we passed away.

Actually in reality, when we lose something,we tend to get something in return, when we got something,we will lose something as well. Life is like this, God never let our life be perfect. Without flaws, how we learn? Normally people tend to remember deeper on their lose rather than what actually they get in return. They tend to unseen what they get from the lose. Open your heart, find what you got in return. Sometime you might unseen it, sometimes its intangible. But is there for us to discover ourself, be grateful on what you got in return. 

All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain? { Buddha }

Mind makes what we act, agree? Hmmm....In fact, we are stuck in the over uphold of owns' concept, something that we overly hold on but we do not aware of it. Why sometimes we feel sad, vexed, pain and maybe thinking of ending our life? Sad people might say :" i'm poor,so i'm sad" but there are peoples that even poor than you but they dont vexed. Vexed people might say :" losing job will let me in hunger, so i'm vexed" but vexed can let you become rich? can let you found your job? Pain people might say :" how do i live without him/her?" but before you owns him/her, you still living nicely what. People who thinking suicide might say :" why God be so cruel to me?" but how do you know God do not have other better arrangement for you?

Blissfulness, is not without flaws, is not perfect at all. Life makes people grown up because of its flaws. If is perfect, how people going to grow up. With flaws, you learn how to accept it, make perfect out of flaws. Just remember, the thing that you lack of in your life, it might belongs to other people, but the thing you owned, might be people's defect. Life is like this. And, actually, flaws can be blissful as well, but with condition you have to be satisfied. When do human going to satisfy ? Hmm... and dissatisfies are mostly comes from comparing. Maybe from the past or from other people, maybe i'm satisfied with my bonus this year but what if i found out that i'm lower than other people? Here comes the dissatisfaction. Technically we are searching for better life or happiness but then in fact we are searching for misfortune. Because, if you do not know how to satisfy, then how could you be happy with your life now?

One person wants to be happy, this might not difficult to achieve. But if they wants to become happier than other, this may be very difficult, because others might not as happy as we thought { Markjohns }

Still this quotation that i like

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Wow, cannot believe it was that long. Doesnt seems to be so long when it was in Wretch blog. *lol* Anyhow, this is basically what i wrote for more than half a year ago. Still, it's not statement or guideline or anything that you could possibly think of, this is just a personal thoughts of mine. 

This is who i am, Shirley Qiu. *smile*

Psychopaths

Fire burning.

For those did not know a single thing about arson attack at Kampar recently

--Click here--

While everyone is guessing what is the real motive behind all these arson attacks, there's something came across us, i mean me and him. *smile* Not agreeing that this must be the reasons behind but it still one kind of possibility right? Now, this is what i've been saying. Psychopaths, it can be either Sociopathic personality or antisocial Personality disorder, i guess. *lol* Well, antisocial personality disorder is a mental health condition in which a person has a long term pattern of manipulating, exploiting or violating the rights of others. This behavior is often criminal. And i really do mean criminal.

So, are those psychopath's sadists? Yes. Besides the fact that anyone who has had a run in with such an individual will tell you that, we now even have 'picture proof' that they enjoy hurting others. In fact they seem to enjoy inflicting all types pain (harm) on other. (Dr Liane Leedom, 2008) This kind of person shows an abnormal thinking pattern, where he completely disregards the feelings and choices of others around them and their behavior can even run a destructive streak.

Concerning psychopathy and sadism Dr. J. Reid Meloy published the 'The Psychology of Wickedness: Psychopathy and Sadism (1997), he stated "some of the psychodynamics of the psychipath bring us closer to what we see as their evil, or their wish to destroy goodness. Psychopaths are aggressively narcissistic and this aspect of their character pathology is often expressed behaviorally by the repetitive devaluation of others, but not predominantly in fantasy, as we see in narcissistic personality disorder but in reality. Psychopaths generally do this for two reasons: first, to maintain grandiosity or their sense of being larger than life, and second, to repair perceived insults or emotional wounds by retaliating against those they hold responsible. Well, these are what Dr. J. Reid Meloy's statements.

Anyhow, antisocial personality disorder is the most highly correlated mental disorder with crime. That's why it has came across my mind of the arsonist in Kampar lately. They are thrill seekers, literally fearless. So how to catch these people? I got no idea.

Anyway, Kamparians and Utarians please take care and becareful all the time. Crime rate is rising and we are living in danger. Take care. =)

Blessings

Went for wedding.

Hippo Gino has transformed into wedding car.

=)

Dear friends, congratulations upon getting married. Thanks for inviting us. For me, marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences. Just like an alliance entered into by a man who cant sleep with the window shut and a woman who cant sleep with the window open. *lol* Successful marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate but through being the right mate. So stay happy and blissful. Congratulations again.

Attending wedding makes me starts thinking. That day my friend chat with me about Him. My  H.I.M - him*smile* Not going to expose too much 'confidential' information. But in conclusion my friend made, he said if in the end we unable to get married he will not believe it at all. He said he saw a lot of sacrifices among me and him for each other. Well, i would not comment much. But it does makes me starts thinking. Now, see this.

Most people make relationship sacrifices in one way or another, but I'm always suspect the intentions of people who specifically emphasise them. It's inevitable that one partner's interests in a relationship will clash with the other, perhaps only occasionally, perhaps frequently. Just like they get a job at the other end of the country, your family and friends live close by. What to do? When two people have to make this kind of choice, a compromise is eventually reached. New research suggests, though, that it is the way this compromise is interpreted that will have important implications for the relationship.

Research has seen relationship sacrifice in two markedly different ways (Whitton, Stanley & Markman, 2007). The first sees sacrifice as 'a good thing', which is associated with positive aspects of relationships. The idea is that a willingness to make sacrifices for your partner shows you've evolved past the early stages of a relationship. Theoretically, then, sacrifice is linked to commitment.

Feminist theory has a quite different take on sacrifice. Feminists point to a finding that women feel they have to make greater sacrifices than men to maintain their relationship. Here, sacrifice is also associated with depression. Similar findings for men have also been reported, although these findings are questioned.

How can these apparently opposing ideas be resolved? Whitton et al. (2007) suggest that it is not the sacrifice itself, but the way in which the individual views that sacrifice which is most important. To quantify this they created a measure of the perception of sacrifice as harmful to the self.

The results showed that within heterosexual couples, for both men and women, better relationship functioning was associated with sacrifices that were perceived as less harmful to the self. One possible explanation for this would be that higher commitment to a relationship actually lowers the perception that sacrifices are being made.

Unlike relationship functioning, however, connections between measures of commitment and lowered perceptions of sacrifice as harmful were only seen in men (also within heterosexual relationships). Whitton et al. (2007) suggest this might be explained by the finding from feminist theory that women feel a greater need than men to make sacrifices in their relationship.

In other words, women expect to make sacrifices in relationships, whether they are committed or not. As a result women's perception of sacrifice is unrelated to their relationship commitment. Men, in contrast, only tend to perceive sacrifices as less harmful when they are more committed to a relationship, hence the association.

Anyway, all those researches certainly provides food for thought about the ways in which we view sacrifice in our relationship. In conclusion, we all know sacrifices made for long-term relationship, it's an invest for a happy future. Relationships are usually about the give and take. It always do.

Well, again, have a happy marriage friends. =)

With each sunrise, we start anew

Watching the sunrise on early morning 1st of September.

At Cameron Highland

Just a month before our anniversary.

Thank you for it.

Anyhow, introducing this. Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, also known as Sunrise, is a 1927 American silent film directed by German film director F. W. Murnau. The story was adapted by Carl Maver from the short story "Die Reise Nach Tilsit" by Hermann Sudermann. Honestly, i dont know who are them. *lol* Dont know why, just found this 'Sunrise' is interesting. Here's the plot:

The trailer

A woman from the city bewitches a farmer and convinces him to murder his neglected wife.  Just as he is about to kill his wife, he comes to his senses and the married couple renew their love in the city

A Woman From The City (Margaret Livingston) travels to the country on a summertime vacation. She lingers in one particular lakeside town for weeks, having started an affair. One night, she puts on a slinky black dress and wanders through town to a farmhouse where the Man (George O'Brien) and the Wife (Janet Gaynor) live with their infant child. She whistles from outside to the Man. The Man leaves his wife and child for a clandestine tryst. The Wife, well aware (as is everyone else in town) of why her husband has gone, cries on her child's pillow.

The Man and the Woman embrace. The Woman tells the Man that he should sell the farm and go with her to the City. When he asks what to do about his wife, she suggests he drown her and make it look like a boating accident. He objects violently at first, but reluctantly agrees. The Woman gathers bundles of reeds so that, when the boat is overturned, the Man can use them to help stay afloat.

The Wife suspects nothing when her husband suggests going on an outing. The next day, they set off across the lake, but she soon grows suspicious of his strange behavior. The Man stands up menacingly and prepares to throw the Wife overboard, but realizes he cannot do it. He sits back down and begins rowing frantically. When the boat reaches the other shore, the Wife flees and the Man follows, begging her not to be afraid of him.

The Wife boards a trolley to escape, but the Man manages to get on as well. It takes them into the City. Once there, the Wife runs from the Man in a state of fear and confusion into the busy street. The Man catches her and pulls her to safety. Together they wander the City, the Wife still fearful and unsure of the Man's intentions toward her. Slowly, she begins to forgive him. He buys her a bouquet of flowers. Soon after, they go inside a church to watch a wedding. The Man breaks down. After a tearful reconciliation, they wander into the street, oblivious to the busy traffic around them.

They stroll around the City, getting their picture taken by a photographer who mistakes them for newlyweds, and visiting a barber shop, where the Man gets a shave, then has to fend off an admirer of the Wife. They make their way to a bustling amusement park, where they play a Midway game and dance to a country tune. As darkness falls, they board the trolley for home.

Soon they are drifting peacefully back across the lake under the moonlight. A sudden storm causes their boat to begin sinking. The Man remembers the two bundles of reeds he placed in the boat earlier, and ties the bundles around the Wife. Then the boat capsizes. The Man awakes on the rocky shore, but cannot find his wife. He gathers the townspeople to search the lake in boats for the Wife, but all they find is a broken bundle of reeds floating in the water.

The Woman From The City wakes to the frantic mobilization of the townsfolk and watches from the shadows. Convinced the Wife has drowned, the grief-stricken Man stumbles home and sobs uncontrollably on the Wife's empty bed. The Woman goes to his house, assuming their plan has succeeded, but recoils in horror as the Man glares at her in a murderous rage. She flees, but he chases her down, and begins to choke her. Then the Maid calls to him that his wife is alive, and he releases the Woman. The Wife has survived by clinging to one last bundle of reeds, and has been pulled from the lake by an old fisherman who did not give up hope.

The Man kneels by the Wife's bed as she slowly opens her eyes and smiles radiantly at him. As the sun rises over their farmhouse, the Woman From The City leaves town on a cart. The Man and the Wife kiss as the film dissolves to the sunrise.

Superficially it's a fairly standard love story. Married man from the country with a loving, dutiful wife, falls for the knowing charms of a big city woman on vacation, realises his mistake, regains the love of his wife and just about avoids a tragic ending. But Sunrise has its beautiful interpretation of the strength of love in the most dire of situations. It is the story of a tested love that overcame the biggest test of them all, showing that love can lead people to extraordinary feats. Sunrise is a touching film that resounds deeply for those who have ever been in love. Murnau clearly wants this to be the story of Everyman, and a comment on how the temptations of the flesh can rob you of your moral bearings. Love, betrayal, and redemption.  A farmer tempted to the brink of uxoricide stops himself at the last minute. Not everyone able to simply make a U-turn like that, and not everyone has the strong resistance to enticement and temptations. Try watch it, it's in black and white ! =)

Bob Dylan quotes (American folksinger, b. 1941)

There's beauty in the silver singing river. There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky.

But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty, that i remember in my true love's eyes.

Love =)

Unpretty

Took hours ago.

Keep staring at my photo.

Wondering, what is the definition for pretty / unpretty?

Wondering, what is the definition for photogenic / unphotogenic?

Now, define what is pretty in your mind. What type of girl that you will defined her as pretty? How unpretty is the unpretty for you? Again, define what is photogenic. What type of face is consider as photogenic to you? What type of face is consider as unphotogenic? Well, i guess the answers to all the questions vary each person. Then it comes to another question : Who defines 'beauty'?

Well, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Personal power is an important attribute. Traditional beauty has little bearing on how attractive a person may be. No matter how pretty you are but you have annoying bad attitude, there's nothing attractive about you. Inner radiance is more important than physical appearance. Meanwhile, confidence also is the only key to beauty. I know a lot of people who arent traditionally 'beautiful', not symmetrical or perfect-bodied or perfect-skinned. But none of that matters because all that shines through is their confidence, humour and comfort with themselves. I cant think of any representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid to be herself.

Yes, be yourself. Rather than chasing for latest trends of fashion. Which celebrities using which facial products and much more common phenomenon that we can easily spooked around us. Wear what we felt comfortable, use what we feel worth, be confidence and there you'll be. Rather than chasing for branding and trends. For me, just be the one who i am that's what makes the day.

Lately over crazy of this song 'Unpretty'

Honestly i'm more prefer of Glee's version than the original one.

Rachel & Quinn

I wish i could tie you up in my shoes, Make you feel unpretty too

I was told I was beautiful, But what does that mean to you

Look into the mirror who's inside there, The one with the long hair

Same old me again today

My outsides look cool, My insides are blue

Everytime i think i'm through, It's because of you

I've tried different ways, But it's all the same

At the end of the day , I have myself to blame

I'm just trippin'

You can buy your hair if won't grow, You can fix your nose if he says so

You can buy all the make-up that Mac can make

But if you can't look inside you, Find out who am i too

Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

Never insecure until i met you, Now i'm in stupid

I used to be so cute to me, Just a little bit skinny

Why do i look to all these things, To keep you happy

Maybe get rid of you, And then i'll get back to me

My outsides look cool, My insides are blue

Everytime i think i'm through, It's because of you

I've tried different ways, But it's all the same

At the end of the day , I have myself to blame

I'm just trippin'

You can buy your hair if won't grow, You can fix your nose if he says so

You can buy all the make-up that Mac can make

But if you can't look inside you, Find out who am i too

Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

i feel pretty

But unpretty

Everyone is beautiful. Cheers =)

I think it this way

My favourite footballer - Samir Nasri

No longer a Gunner - Arsenal, now, he has joined Manchester City.

No longer number 8, but now number 19.

Now this is it. Manchester City have signed this France midfielder Samir Nasri from Arsenal on a four-year contract. An estimated $25 million transfer, following club captain Cesc Fabregas' switch to Barcelona. Now, officially he is one of the Manchester City's. In this four-year, $173,000-a-week contract does mean he has all but doubled what he was earning at the Emirates Stadium.

Here comes the issue, Harry Redknapp, the Spurs manager, i prefer to call him 'dua-de-ham' manager, comment something about Nasri. "He (Nasri) could have gone to Manchester United, they wanted him and he wanted to go there, but then Man City came in and offered him more money so he went to Man City. That's how it goes, we have to be realistic. When people get offered the chance to treble their wages, they're going to think about it, anybody would." Well, everybody thinks it this way, Nasri looks only for the money. But i guess there is still something more than that.

Nasri mentioned something. He admitted he had become frustrated at Arsenal and said he is looking forward to playing at a stadium with a better atmosphere than the Emirates. The City supporters are really passionate and it reminds him of playing for Marseille. Arsenal have good fans but they are not that passionate since they moved from Highbury to the Emirates. The crowd at City are amazing and that's what he wants as a player - a good atmosphere. Plus, the Arsenal legend - Patrick Vieira convinced Nasri to move to the Eithad Stadium.

I guess he is just searching for a sense of belonging. Nasri admitted he felt he is needed in the City. He added :" I remember when we played against City, when we lost 3-0, the crowd was amazing. That is what i want. When you play football it is for a good atmosphere." I guess everybody loves to feel glory and the same goes to Samir Nasri too. For me, he maybe chosen to 'betray' his 'second dad', Arsenal Wenger and it looks so damn ethically wrong. Like my Bay said, if he celebrates his goal during the play against Arsenal , it make things worst. People will hate him more. 

For me, what is so important on the real motive that makes him wanted to go over Man City? The money? The potential of the club? For trophy? For the crowd? The sense of belonging? All doesnt matter to me. What does matter is he, himself. His contribute to the club. Still remember this? Samir Nasri has been nominated as the player of the year and also the young player of the year. Nasri has been the outstanding entertainer that season, producing a devastating combination of assists and goals to keep Arsenal in the hunt for their first trophy in the six years. And look at how he's playing in Man City now. His assists his debut for City, a 5-1 victory over Tottenham on Sunday. Surprisingly was in stark contrast to Arsenal's 8-2 defeated to Manchester United. 

Well, people, for me, his performance is way more important than the main motive he transferred. So stop being disrespectful to this young player and give him a chance. Stop woo-ing him for his decision of leaving Arsenal. He has his own rights to choose. For me, watching football is watching how someone can assists or make a goals. Not someone who willing to stay or go.

So, as long as he still in good shape, he will still be my favourite player.

Cheers =)

Iphone? Get lost !

Iphone 4.

Look nice right?

But not for me.

Anyhow, nowadays seems like everyone is using Iphone, especially Iphone 4. I guess many heard this before : If you want to be updated, follow the trend and get an Iphone 4 for yourself !. Here am i, wondering, how good the Iphone can be? I was an Iphone user before. Take note that is a WAS. Due to some reasons, i've sold it off. Steve Jobs, i guess everybody know who is he, showed off the latest Iphone 4 smartphone with the idea that it will replace his stonklingly successful 3G gizmo. However, how smart the phone can be? Here are some reasons why buying an Iphone 4 is not a good idea.

The name implies that it is a 4th generation mobile phone when it is actually still 3G. Apple says that it is the Iphone 4, however some might be dumb enough to believe that it can use the 4th generation wireless broadband standards, although it really can't.

The Iphone 4 appears to have trouble with WiFi. Apple is historically quite bad at engineering WiFi products that work. Many of its flaws have been related to Airport. When Jobs attempted to show off the Iphone 4 yesterday the WiFi did not not work. Jobs claimed it was because there were too many people using WiFi in the Moscone conference centre, but we have to take his word for that. The Apple Ipad has a similar problem in that you have to be practically sitting on a wireless router for it to get a decent WiFi connection. This is ironic as the Iphone 4 has a stainless-steel band around the outside edge that Apple says is designed to improve WiFi network reception, but it still doesn't seem to work very well.

The Iphone 4 is selling on its video-calling program, called FaceTime. However this is limited to WiFi networks for now, which means that the best thing about the Iphone 4 will not work in most locations unless you happen to be near a WiFi hot spot. Also you can only conference with other Iphone 4 users. I guess the most surprising part is this. The Iphone 4 is built by Chinese wage-slaves working 12-hour shifts in conditions that have led to a rash of suicides, and Apples has called police to suppress freedom of the press. While the Iphone 4 is not 'less moral' than the Iphone 3G, users now have less excuse to turn a blind eye to how the product is made.

Judging by Apple's previous behaviour the Iphone 4 will be out of date within a year, although most mobile phone contracts are for two years. And something more Androidish in a smartphone does more for the same price, without the Apple lock in. Last but not least, the Iphone 4 while thinner, still has that easy to slip out your hand shape. This means that you have to buy those covers which bulk the thing out again. It also still has a plastic back which can be scratched and break. Just like what has happened to my friend's Iphone 4.

This is what will happen in just a single minor drop.

Apple has allayed concerns over all the glass on the Iphone 4 with claims that it's 'Chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic,' but apparently glass is still glass. And with twice as much of it comes twice the vulnerability. Iphone 4 has lesser durability than Iphone 3G that i was using. Honest speaking, i've dropped the phone for many times and is still working just fine. Normal functioning, i would said it. But before i've decided to sell it off, the phone only functioning as a secondary phone with the gaming function. Other than that, it suit no use for me at all.

Anyhow, after started working, i've once planned to buy this Iphone 4. Thanks to those attractive package offered. But somehow, he changed my mind. Mainly because of some reasons he extremely dont like this phone. Partially i've seen how terrible is the battery duration. I've seen my friend bring along the charge in her handbags all the time, another one in office and one in her car. I mean for all the excellent functions that Steve Jobs has been promoting, Iphone 4 need to be connected to the WiFi all the time in order to reach it's peak. But the battery doesnt help much, instead, it has created shortcomings and troublesome. 

Well, i guess i'm fine using this now

Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro

Our couple phone. *smile* We're using this for almost more than half a year. Not bad. I love Android. I guess is definitely more user-friendly than Iphone. Plus, we're using pink color which so outstanding to recognize our own phone. Furthermore, i love it's pocketability. Small and cute, likeable chubby ! Seriously, i'm not going to sell this little cute thing off, not even you Bay, you heard me right? *laugh*

If you've asked me what phone i would want to buy, it is either Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S2 Pro, or HTC !

Anything but not Iphone ! *smile* No offence, although Iphone has its own usefulness in some sense, but it just not my cup of tea now. Cheers. =)
