Malaysia IT Fair 2011, Midvalley

hola2...it's already the last day of the 1st month of the year 2011...and tomorrow will be february already...1st week of february will be heading to penang for chinese new year while the 2nd week will be going for the much anticipated trip to hong kong....really can't wait... :P

the recent weekend, on saturday, me & my wife went to Midvalley to visit the Malaysia IT Fair 2011...the crowd was big as expected of midvalley's crowd plus the chinese new year sale...Midvalley was really packed with the crowd...back to the Malaysia IT Fair, the reason why we went there was to survey for a Network Attached Storage with the capacity of at least 2Tb....so far the best bargain was Seagate at the price of RM539 but due to budget constraint for the HK trip, the purchase of the NAS will need to be delayed....the 2nd thought that crossed our mind was to get the Buffalo NAS enclosure at RM309 and hard disk will need to be purchased separately...the good thing about it is that we can insert any amount of hard disk capacity...the enclosure bay has 2 bays so i can easily insert 2X2Tb of hard disk making it a total of 4Tb of hard disk space....but, those are just in proposal phase...will consider it later after coming back from HK when budget is available... :P

basically there were 3 halls used for the IT Fair...the 1st hall was allocated for notebooks, laptops & netbooks...almost all major brands were exhibited there...the 2nd hall was the place for all the other gadgets such as hard disk, portable hard disk, thumb drives, and other stuffs...the 3rd hall was the smallest dedicated solely for speakers....

before we went to the Malaysia IT Fair, we went to watch a movie, The Green Hornet in 3D...that was the 1st time the both of us watched a movie in 3D...the movie wasn't bad...was quite interesting....the car in the movie was really cool....would give the movie 6.5 out of 10....

after completing the Malaysia IT Fair tour, we went to have lunch at the food court...both of us had pepper lunch...really loved it...must try it....after that we went around midvalley to window shopping...went into mph and got myself a book...Top Money Tips for Malaysians By KC Lau was the book i bought at RM39.90...seems to be quite an interesting & useful book...i'm now at chapter 3....will probabably post a review of it once i've done reading it....

after mph, went to swensens to have some ice cream and later went to carls junior to grab a burger each for me & my wife for our diner....then, it's time to call off for the day and head back to home sweet home~....

next post will be my trip back to penang for chinese new year celebration...stay tuned....

A.N.Jell fever~

yo yo wassup...hope everyone's feeling great...nothing big or special happened recently...the recent weekend me & my wife became couch potatoes...enjoying korean drama "You're beautiful"...i'm not really a korean fan boy but this drama transformed me to be one (jeeezzzz, how did i ever got into this situation :P)....the whole saturday & sunday were dedicated to the A.N.Jell pop group which was in the drama....the drama has almost every ingredient in it....love, fun & laughter, parody, cute & sweet element, unexpected situations, unexpected relations....pretty much a complete package....what i can say in short is it's a very interesting drama to watch....even the ost are sweet & nice....listened to them over & over again at office...hahahaa... :P

here's the synopsis....

Go Mi Nyeo & Go Mi Nam (both played by Park Shin Hye) are twin brother and sisters. They grew up in an orphanage and never knew their parents.

As a young adult, Go Mi-Nyeo is set to become a nun. On her way to pick up a ticket for Rome a strange man catches up to her. The man's name is Ma Hoon Lee (Kim In Kwon) and he explains that he's the manager for popular boy band "A.N.JELL". He also explains that her twin brother Go Mi-Nam, who just joined the band, had a facial operation but something went wrong and was sent to America to recover. Ma Hoon Lee then pleads to Go Mi Nyeo to impersonate her brother until he recovers. For her brother's sake, Go Mi Nyeo reluctantly agrees to play her brother.

A.N.JELL band member Kang Shin-Woo (Jeong Yong Hwa) first discovers Go Mi Nyeo's secret, but he keeps it to himself. Kang Shin Woo also tries to help her out without Go Mi Nyeo knowing. He also starts to develop feelings for her.

Meanwhile, A.N.JELL's singer/songwriter/vocalist Hwang Tae Kyeong (Jang Geun Seok) discovers Go Mi-Nyeo's secret. Hwang Tae Kyeong (Jang Geun Suk) is an extremely gifted musician, but his personality is cold and he is a control freak. At first Hwang Tae Kyeong tries to kick Go Mi Nyeo out of the band, but he becomes sympathetic to her plight when he discovers that she hoped to find her mother by appearing on television with the band.

Go Mi Nyeo's secret is then discovered by pop singer Yu Hee Yi (Uee) by chance. When the media falsely reports that Yu Hee Yi and A.N.JELL band member Hwang Tae Kyeong are dating she uses Go Mi-Nyeo's secret to make Hwang Tae Kyeong pretend they are dating in front of the press. At the right moment Yu Hee Yi will announce to the press that they have broken up and that she dumped Hwang Tae Kyeong. In return Yu Hee Yi will keep Go Mi Nyeo's secret. Hwang Tae Kyeong agrees to this arrangement to protect Go Mi Nyeo. Meanwhile Yu Hee Yi starts to develops feelings for Hwang Tae Kyeong ...

highly recommend to watch it... :P

Megatex electronic, IT & furniture expo

we've now entered the 3rd week of 2011...nothing much happened during this 2 weeks...last week me & my wife went to kl sentral to buy train tickets to penang for chinese new year...as usual every year i'll be going to penang to join my family for chinese new year celebration....but this year would not be the same as this will be the 1st year my wife will be joining us for chinese new year celebration and as my wife...after we bought the tickets, went to times square to walk around and survey a few things...also went to lowyat plaza to survey some IT gadgets...

today, me & my wife headed to sunway pyramid as there was an Electronic, IT & Furniture Expo held that was organized by Megatex...reached sunway pyramid at around 10.45 and went to station kopitiam first to have breakfast...after that, went to the sunway convention center as the expo was held there....outside the expo hall was the furniture expo while inside the main hall was the electronic & IT expo...the expo this time was much, much, much more better than the one at mines that we went about 3 weeks ago...several major brands were there such as sony, panasonic, LG, samsung, sharp, toshiba, phillips, htc, HP and many more....the prices of the products over there were quite tempting...good thing that we didn't had the budget to get those :P ....the expo was not bad...there was even an auction bid for gadgets...a sony camera at the price of RM900++ was auctioned starting at RM400 and was sold at not even RM550...apart from the camera, a sony ericsson & nokia phone was also auctioned...there was quite a huge crowd at the expo and there were quite many people that shopped electrical goods and IT products over there...we could see people carrying out their brandly new LCD tv...how envying it felt....huhuhu....

since we were not buying anything, we then headed back to the sunway pyramid shopping center to have lunch, bought some books, household appliances, went for window shopping, bought some J. co doughnuts and then went back home at about 5.45 pm....was quite a tiring day though....

2011; pug gets new tyres

aloha~...happy 2011...happy new year to all...this is my 1st post for the year 2011...what's my resolution for 2011?...haven't figure out yet....hahahaha...nothing special or ocassion during 1-1-11...juz the normal routine....what are my plans for this year?...haven't really planned yet but the ones confirmed will be going to Hong Kong & Japan in the 1st half of 2011...

well, on monday, the day before, 1st working day of the year 2011, immediately after work, headed to the tyre shop to change my pug's two front tyres as they are already in critical condition....probably could be due to the out of tune of the alignment and balancing....changed the tyres at the tyre shop where i regularly serviced my previous car....now it's already almost 2 years i haven't went there but one of the mechanic & the admin amoi still remembered me...wow~...really good memory....the shop tyre was at Equine Park, Seri Kembangan....the name was Maystorm Service Center....due to the current tight financial and need to reserve some cash for my Hong Kong trip, i changed the tyres to the cheapest which was sime tyres at RM145 each making it RM290 for a pair....the rest such as yokohama, good year & bridgestone was in the range of RM170~175....about 45 minutes, my car was ready...total bill was RM325 including doing balancing & alignment....and next month will probably need to visit the tyre shop again and this time is to change the brake pads due to it is almost exhausting....$$$ again....sigh....

that's all for now...stay tuned for more posts....
