why did i sale my ipad1...

By
and did not buy ipad2?


I have my reason for not wanting one anymore..
My ONLY and ultimate reason is the 'concept' that involves a lot of MYR (malaysian ringgit).
Once u buy an ipad, or any Apple products you actually agreed to commit to 'this' kind of marketing concept. 'This' means, plays around with money. 

Even though buying an Apple product is a good investment for yourself, its never a good investment if you have tight budget or maybe COKOT (sarawak malay language) a.k.a stinky when it involves money.

Buying an ipad, was my first step to get to know more of Apple products (not including ipod since they dont cost that much.. less than RM500- in my standard). I didn't know that ipad cannot transfer files with external USB (pen drive, hard disk, etc) without using its own cables. There is no such cables actually.. To do this you need the camera connection cable. There is only ONE port that allows cable connection and makes everything else possible (such as, file transfer, project to LCD projectors or TV or monitors, etc). Try browse Apple website to read more about ipad accessories. Im not willing to spend more money for things that doesnt seem flexible to me. (Of course, Apple have such a brilliant 'selling' ideas to rip more and more money off your wallet). Despite all these, Im actually preparing myself to buy a Mac Book soon, My first preparation is, saving more money of course! Mac Book cost more than RM3000, it's like buying more than 3 netbooks!

Not only hardware cost, good and reliable software do cost some money too! Yes you can do your office works with it. If the virtual keyboard slows you down, buy a dock and a keyboard! There's solution for every problems, its just that it all cost more and more MYR! I'm a government servant, paid less than the cost of one Mac Book, what can i say?!



Now you know why most Malaysian (average people like me) cannot afford to use Apple products..

For Malaysian especially Sibu people.. who are interested to buy Apple.. go buy it online.. Almost everything seems to be a lot more expensive here in Sibu.. Malaysia is one of the not many countries where you can get cheapest Apple price!

Oktober 2008: The Orient Star Resort, Lumut, Perak

Gambar-gambar ni semua dah lama disimpan dalam laptop. Kalaulah gambar-gambar ni macam makanan, dah tumbuh kulat ngan cendawan lama dah! Nak ambik la kesempatan, disebabkan TV kat rumah pun dah rosak dekat seminggu.. Koleksi CD/DVD kat rumah pun dah abis aku tengok... (termasuklah Changeling, aku suka la panggil Changelina Jolie... yang dah lebih 4 bulan dalam simpanan tapi tak pernah sekali tengok.. huhu). Jadi blog ni umpama terapi untuk aku memandangkan hidup aku memang selalunya depan TV. kan.. (Mangsa penjajahan teknologi). This hotel isnt far away from the town. It's on the way to the TLDM Lumut camp. Ikut hala TLDM, bila lepas roundabout, baru nak naik sikit je kat bukit tu jumpa la hotel ni belah kanan.. From Drop Box Was there, at Orient Star Resort October 2008 to attend a meeting. As for the room rates, I'm not sure since everything was paid by the BIG "G" BOSS. View from the room was just nice (compared to my stay at Terengganu recently), but i...

Brunei vs Malaysia

By
Rakan-rakan terdekat ramai yang tahu, aku sekarang sedang bekerja di Brunei Darussalam dibawah perjanjian di antara dua kerajaan iaitu Malaysia dan Brunei dengan mengguna pakai terma 'locum tenens'. Walaupun selama 6 bulan sahaja, apa yang pasti aku akan kembali ke tempat kerja asal dengan sedikit perubahan pada sikap, keperibadian dan gaya pemikiran. Soalan yang sering diajukan pada 1-3 bulan yang pertama ialah, "Seronok tak kerja di Brunei?". Rasanya agak sukar hendak menjawab soalan tersebut secara menyeluruh. Ada pelbagai aspek yang perlu difikirkan. Sudah tentulah, kalau hujan emas di negeri orang hujan batu di negeri sendiri tetap lebih baik negeri sendiri. Sungguhpun politik nampak semakin kucar-kacir dengan keadaan harga barang runcit yang semakin naik dan ditambah cantik pula dengan jerebu yang sedang melanda, tetap aku katakan negara sendiri lebih baik dari negara orang. 1. Kos hidup. Kos hidup disini kalau dibandingkan dengan gaji yang dibaya...
