EldwinSchrodinger @ What a lucky escape

loving you always ♥

If its just 4 days ago i've lost 13k just investing on Corus Bankshares it had an open price at 0.30 when it dropped to 0.24 just within 3 hours after i threw in 100k, so i waited and managed to lose at most a few thousands. My luck came when Citygroup's shares plunged and i managed to make 15k which gives me a gain of 10.8k, 3.3k from Wells Fargo and Co and the rest from Intel Corp. I'm not gonna bid for microsoft shares hopefully it rise by tonight. Not too bad though! But there's no way i could reach the top 15 best investor of the month I'll just try it again this coming August.

And yes i paused the plan to ship in Rifle scopes and military Grade Night Vision Goggles due to the an Email which I've sent to Singapore Customs and I've yet to receive and reply from them as of now and its been about a week. There's already some for sale you guys can check it out at Black Tactical by my buddy and he's selling them too.

Oh are you guys interested in Barrett Tees? I'll be printing some this coming weekend let me know if your interested. I'll post the design out soon and the price of a Tee. :)

EldwinSchrodinger @ Please prove me wrong..

loving you always ♥

I do think that you are indeed, suffering from a mild depression, I mean, I've observed your character change over these few weeks i'm sure something's not right. Its like, you're starting to be friends with everyone again after so much has happened. I don't know how you define friends but it personally think that you should start to consider who are really your friends and who are not. On surface level friends appear nice but what comes on the back no one knows. So please look into it. If i may be the one who has mistaken then i'll apologise but i still stand strong against my foes. But if i'm right then i think its time you take sides, being nowhere makes you a true friend to no one.

EldwinSchrodinger @ WIth a surprise

loving you always ♥

Just yesterday evening I came home with a surprise after i got up from my short nap. Dad bought a new iMac 24" desktop pc. Definitely an eyecandy to my apple collection and i loved it! Well at least i need not work on the little 19" desktop screen which i had, multimedia and video/image editing made easier. And i'll be moving over to mac os soon for stability and since its running along the same lines as linux kernel adapting to it shouldn't be much of a problem after all. So i was like, whats next? A macbook pro 17" note

I went home yesterday and its like, shit! i forgot to drop by my spp clubroom to meet xinyi cuz she said she wanna book her btt at ubi but when i called her she told me she already registered an account. LOL! Cya guys soon!

EldwinSchrodinger @ Few stuff i hate most when i'm shopping

loving you always ♥

Whenever i shop around different places I'm often pleased with the customer services. However there are also few cases where the sales person totally piss me off so i thought of sharing it here.

1) You walk into the boutique, the person approaches you and ask you how can he/she help you. When you tell her "Thank you for your assistance but I'm just browsing." And guess what. The sales person would trail you along where you go and see what you're doing. You know how irritating that is? Its the same logic as when you're in the changing room and some random person is in there watching you. (Its exaggerated but its what some people would feel *i'm one of them. lol) Its like whut? am i plotting a thievery its like comeon just gimme some personal space will ya?

2) Inexperienced customer handling. This is the most fucked up part and you'll experience it in many places selling techies stuff. Why? cause it makes you wanna walk off and not patronize them no more. So here's the thing. Lets say you walk in to ABC Stuffs and you wanna buy a product say, an iTouch 2g. Being a total idiot to IT. You asked the sales person about the specs and guess whats their reply? "Its here what! There you see! All here. Take a look at it."
Goddamnit, if the customers are smart enough they wouldn't be asking you in the first place. If they are smart enough we don't even need to employ people like you to sell these products where machines could do better jobs. I mean, for christ sake, whats so difficult explaining simple stuff? Are you that lazy?

This is what i've observed on how customers are treated around in Singapore and i would say its a very disappointing sight to see in such a 1st world country. Prove me wrong, even Malaysia have better customer service. Thumbs up for them. Singapore, work on it or suck on it!

EldwinSchrodinger @ Why flash sucks

loving you always ♥

Before i will start ranting over why flash sucks i will start by giving my good comments over it since its just my beginning of my journey learning flash. Well, flash is indeed a very powerful tool which is not only a standard plugin for most browser but with flash you could do unlimited things! Wonderful huh? from Userinterface to games and other cool stuff its simply wonderful.

But things suck if you are someone who knows flash especially ActionScript 2.0 and suddenly having to pickup the new ActionScript3.0 code format. Well like I've posted over my Facebook just a couple of mins ago, flash sould have included some kinda crossplaform work around where people could use both as3 and as2 codes on a same design. I've been working on my assignment for days searching the net for as3 examples and i can tell you its like finding needles in a haystack or you gotta fork out money if you wanna use them. I don't like that. I mean, its caused i had to use as3 for my assignment otherwise i would have sticked to the older version since there are like, tons of examples on the net you could find such as ffiles.com and stuff. So my point being is simple, who ever marks my assignment please don't have too much hope cause its gonna lack lots of stuff.

EldwinSchrodinger @ I've been an ass to you.

loving you always ♥

I know i've been an ass to you lately cuz its like we haven't chat for ages and when we met its like i'm giving you a cold shoulder. Its not because of you or her i just dunno how to put it cause when i try to tell you its like i'm giving an excuse but when i try to explain i feel that i'm running away from it. its just, partly, i'm stressed up with my workload, by upcoming biz plan which i planned out with a few others. But i think its caused of the problem we had in our clique that really affected me and i thought it would be ok within a few days or so. I thought we could hang out like before. I thought i could bring back the past again. But it seems it takes a while before stuff gets better.

And right now i'm also confused who're the innocent ones i've been hating all these while which caused a stir but its like there's no way i'm gonna like walk up to them and tell them "I'm sorry for messing things up i hope we'll be friends again". Not my kinda thing i'd do for sure. Besides, i guess you've got better friends out there so its like i would rather you have fun with them cause to be honest, i'm not someone who could crack jokes, being high and stuff but i'm someone who's pretty much more serious about life. And its like, i dun wanna dig in too much pretending to chat with you for the sake of chatting aimlessly cause i feel its so fake like what people are doing. I'm just trying to be myself and this is the real me. I'm only a good listener but i cant spark convos. Well its more like i'm sharing things about myself i guess a shit load of others would be reading through this but nah it doesn't matter tho. Cheers ya?

EldwinSchrodinger @ My fav skit of all time

loving you always ♥

Have you guys heard of this movie called Full Metal jacket? Well if you haven't you've probably missed one of the greatest movie during the 1990s and its obviously one of the war films i'd watch over and over again and it never gets old. Gunnery Sargent hartman's speech to the recruits its probably how you'd experience army life during the old days of military training in the USMC. Even till today. Thats why the USMC trains soldiers by their quality. not the quantity unlike the US army. Cool huh?

I loved it when he said the following phrases to his Recruits.

"If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human, fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit. Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?"

And i laughed so hard when i heard this.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: How tall are you, private?
Private Cowboy: Sir, five-foot-nine, sir.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Five-foot-nine, I didn't know they stacked shit that high.

watch the whole boot camp clip here.

EldwinSchrodinger @ Review of the new LG Arena s-class UI vs iphone UI

loving you always ♥

Would the new s-class LG series deem it as an iphone 3G killer? We'll see to that in a minute. Featuring a whole new interface system developed by LG in terms of comparing with other phone brands out there its already a hint that LG might be catching up with apple's "alien" technology in no time. Many are already speculating that the iPhone 3G killer has finally arrived! Obviously the Arena is now packed with lots of cool stuffs and content in it which made a hit recently.

So lets start with the Apperance of the phone. The Arena's screen is slightly smaller than that of the 3G and its slightly thicker too but thats not too much of a problem. The dimensions of the LG Arena stand at 105.9 x 55.3 x 11.95mm, whereas the dimension of the iPhone 3G is 115.5 x 62.1mm x 9.9mm. The Arena also offers a resolution of 480 x 800 where the iPhone 3G only offers a resolution of 320 x 480. Hence, i can only conclude that the Arena's screen is more colorful and full of effects so to speak.

Now for the Music and Sound Quality, The new Arena is packed with an FM radio but the iPhone 3g doesn't. So thats a thing we all have to consider of a side note. The music is obviously of the top notch quality in case of Apple iPhone 3G, but Arena does not disappoint us as well. Both offer a great quality sound and videos of the highest resolution. For web browsing, both of the mobiles offer fast 3G network with in-built Wi-Fi as well. The storage memory of both the mobiles is also similar offering 8GB internal memory and expandable up to 16GB of data. Accelerometer is also in built in both the mobiles as well.

What i think made the Arena stands out as the winner is clearly the 5mp camera compared to Apple's miserable 2mp camera. Arena also has an option of video recording and as far as multimedia is concerned, the Arena simply outclasses the iPhone 3G. What interests me to this point is that Arena offers Schneider-Kreuznach optical lenses for greater clarity as well as an LED Flash option and autofocus technology embedded in it. Marvelous aint it?

But do take note of this. To this point iPhone could snap back and be the winner once again is due to the reason that it has the ability to add third party applications and games and lots of other stuff, you could install and use thousands and thousands of apps on your iphone but it is what the Arena lacks. But what can you expect from a mobile phone? there's always an answer to it by getting an itouch =P But if you are pretty desperate to get a mobile apart from the iPhone 3G theres always an alternative and that is the LG Arena. To sum it all up, LG Arena may be called an ‘iPhone 3G killer’ as it is preloaded with exciting new features and great looks. Overall, its definitely one of the best smart phones released this year, LG Arena will offer you the best and you will certainly be pleased with it!

EldwinSchrodinger @ Its been a while

loving you always ♥

Sorry lads its been a few days since i last updated my blog, partly cuz I've been busy with my exams which are just over a couple of days ago well so yeah I'm back once again. So I've just gotten my Linux live cds which i've ordered from Canonical and it took them 3 weeks to ship it from Netherlands to Singapore. And for today, my niece got baptized in the church today and my other cousins were there as well while i was dreaming away in my bed i cant believe i'd do that i'm like so guity right now cuz i weren't there.

And i was really bored at home so i took a picture of myself holding my m4 carbine along with wearing a 3 hole mask i forgot the right name for it. By the way i'm no terror or planning to do silly stuff its just a random shot i thought of.

EldwinSchrodinger @ End of mst!

loving you always ♥

Oh my friggin day thank god its the end of our mst so glad it has ended. Now its like, back to school and assignments. hahahas not that its a real problem but its the start of a new me cuz i so love my current life. I wonder why some people are reading my blog lol i saw some "Brilliant potential backstabbers and look nice on the outside" just when i reached school today. hahas who cares, doesn't matter much to me anyway, i have more important things to see to. And i met Param today and we went to City Hall. At first i wanted to look for a survival knife cuz somewhere later this year i'll be living in the rurals in malaysia with a couple of mates. Hopefully. its been a long while since i've wanted to try adventurous stuff but mum just doesn't allow that she'd probably worried about my health and safety but i wouldn't blame her.

Here's how a typical survivor knife looks like what you see in movies like Rambo, Its a very handy tool and its one of the item you'll sure to need when you live out there. (Its exaggerating here in Asia cause there's no roaming bears or tigers but you should get the point.)

And right after looking around we decided to check out jaben and try out some new earpieces cuz i wanted to get a new one for my ipod touch. So i finally set my mind on a Futuresonics Atrios instead probably with an amp along with it. But i'm gonna need to save up some cash before that! Cause that thing cost me 200+. It has the bass which i've always wanted and your ears just won't feel the pain even if you'd blast it to the max. Cool shit! cant wait to lay my hands on one!
