Grind My Gears - Overly Braking Drivers

Another rant...haha sorry people...



Was driving today and you know after all the advice on tv and papers, I do try to drive in the most fuel saving way.
Like I stick on to the speed limit, lighten the car load, having a light foot but generally all these wont help much when you have a driver in front of you braking on every coincidence.
For every port hole on the ground, the driver brakes,
for every bird he/she sees, the driver brakes.

I don't get it. How can you brake when the road in front of you is totally empty?
Worst part of all, they drive on the fast lane and think that they totally own it.
Worst than worst, they drive on the fast lane at 50km/h over taking a lorry which is going at the same speed.
O.o!!



Holy Mother Of All Cows, these people need to learn to not hog the roads. Sometimes they feel the pressure and let you pass but shows you the finger as if you are wrong instead O.o
Keep the road rage at home and drive safely la, look at the road and not me.

Grinds My Gears....

AOC Launches World Slimmest wLED Monitor, Razor LED

Okay, I'll cut to the chase and make everything simple.

Recently Art Of Colors, officially launched their new wLED Monitor, the Razor
Coming in a wide variety of sizes from 18.5", 20", 21.5" and 23".

It is the world SLIMMEST wLED screen at 1.29cm, which is actually thinner than the iPad. Of course being just slim ain't anything special, but here is the twist, the Razor also boost of a 50million:1 screen color ratio. So you would get darker and more vivid colors on your screen, sharper images and premium picture quality. This is also the world highest count for any screen created. Besides that, remember the recent hype of how sharp the Apple iPad's screen was? Well this is the same technology as that, only BIGGER.

Netbooks VS. Small Laptops Which is Better?



I have been thinking about this for a while after seeing the Alienware mx11.
Since the size is pretty much the same as a netbook, I decided to list down the pros and cons of both.

Netbook - Small and light, perfect for people constantly on the go. Just enough for browsing the net at cafes and maybe some facebook games. Also for checking powerpoints, notes and slides for students. However, lack of a powerful processor and graphics make is unsuitable for games. Apparently it can play games like warcraft.

Pros

  • Small, light
  • Cheap
  • Fairly good battery life. 
Con 
  • Screen size not for media.- movies and pictures
  • Lack of power - graphics and processor. No games and heavy programs.
  • Lack of connectivity ports - usb, hdmi, dvd player

Small sized Laptop - Even tho the screen size is the same with the netbook, instead the laptop is loaded with a powerful processor, graphic card and ram. Besides the average usage, you can do play games and use heavy programs such as photo-editing on it. Problems with it would be the screen size and price.(Refering to the Alienware Mx11)

Pros
  • Small, Light, fairly good battery.
  • Powerful and portable - Double graphics with a C2D processor. 
  • Can play games and do work. - Left4Dead and Photoshop

Cons
  • Screen size is still small
  • Very expensive compared to the Netbook
  • Price for a 11" is the same as the 14"/15" screens.
My opinion? - The Small Sized laptop would definitely win this round but of course the price is of 2 netbooks.  You be the judge.

As usual. The decision depends on the user and the budget. I would still personally prefer a 15" instead of the 11" cause I just love the size of the huge ass screen!

Hope it helps.

Grind My Gears - Backseat Drivers

Anyone with a car license that has drove a noisy passenger would definitely know what I mean.
I guess most wives would know, with their husbands beside,
Most beginner drivers would know, with their parents beside,
Most friends would know, with over talkative friends beside.


Clearly since we are the drivers, those people should just STFU.
The person talking to you is already a distraction, just to increase the risk,
they give you orders, reach for the horn, scream into your ears.


I don't get it, if they want to drive so much why didn't they?
I get it from my parents. I think its a general thingy.
Its so tough to just drive and reach the destination. Every pothole, turn, bike, car, bird would be a hazard.


It shortens life, I swear by it.
Just tell us the way there and keep your hands to yourself.
Grinds my gears!

7 Top Tips Before Buying A New Camera.

Some of my friends have been asking me questions on which camera they should buy.
So I have compiled some tips that I think would be useful to all my readers out there.
It may help you or your friends. Just hope it helps.


  • Know what you want. Be it whether a digital camera or a DSLR. Also check out models which have certain functions which you might prefer. Eg. Canon has that Fisheye effect but Sony has the Panarama view. Up to personal reference really.
  • Know your budget. Know how much you are willing to spend on it. Don't just sign your credit card just cause the salesman says its a good camera. Check the market.
  • The newest camera ain't always the best camera. It's true! Plus it will save you a ton of money since it is not the newest model. Check out models from the company you are interested in. Usually they would just add in a few features and call it a new model.
  • Go test out the model you are interested in. Pictures of it might look great but it might be too big for your liking or its just too heavy. Just test it out for a wider understanding.
  • It doesn't take forever. Not long even to do the steps above. Just have your scopes on maybe 3 models you are interested in. Go to the shop, test all 3 models out and pick the one that suits your budget, size, weight and functions most.
  • Check the packages that comes with the camera from the shop. A free memory card does come in handy. A free tripod does too. Just be sure you aren't missing out on any promotions. 
  • NEVER check the price of the camera after buying it. It would just hurt you to know that the price has dropped. 
Hope it clears some questions and stuff.
I can't really help with all the models and stuff since I don't check them out much.

Enjoy!

No.1 Rule You Should Know About Pencil Leads.

Okay here is the thing.



Pencil leads do not contain ANY lead(plumbum)


Yes it is very true folks.
I have heard people telling me since primary school about how pencil leads would kill you and stuff.
Even adults will tell it to children but here is the thing,

  • Pencil leads are made out of carbon in the form of graphite




Here are some links to back me up in case you are skeptical.


Hope that clears some of the dangerous myths about the pencil lead.

Girl's Generation/SNSD Ice Princess Jessica HQ wallpaper

Okay since these days SNSD is conquering the J-Pop scene
They haven't really been releasing new photos. So its getting tough just finding pictures.
Furthermore HQ ones are just a pain in the butt. 
Some of the pictures are just HUGE







Hope you like it!
Just spreading the love yo!

SNSD Gee Jap ver!

Ha. Aha. Ha. Ha... I beat you to it YJ.
Here is the Girl's Generation/SNSD Gee Japanese Version!
With a Tiffany and Jessica Wallpaper

Sorry bout that.. Anyways, as you all know, a big part of this blog includes the Korean all girl group, Girls Generation. About over a month ago, the Japanese version of Genie was released, and I liked it. Liked it to the point I fought a dozen Spartans, and slain 2 dragons over the usage of the computer to search it up on Youtube.


And as the madness was about stared calming down..


Out comes Gee.




Also, there's too much Hyoyeon tributes on this site (3 parts?), and in retaliation, I shall post a picture each of Jessica and Tiffany. XD

Grind My Gears - Toilet manners

Okay it maybe inappropriate to place pictures of toilets here. Since the post is about dirty toilets..
ewwwwwwwwwww




Anyways, don't you just hate being in this situation?
Your bladder is bursting so you take the shortest route just to make it to the toilet only to find it either dirty or not flushed. Okay I know its disgusting and that disturbing images appeared in your head but I think I would like to rant about it now. 


Clearly there are still people around the world who still haven't learned anything from the many years of using the toilets. This applies mostly to guys, cause if you have seen some of the public toilets here in Malaysia you would know what I mean. Like my college toilets, the people who use it would have AT LEAST 18 years of shooting and flushing experience but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO...




Didn't these people learn to have some courtesy for the next bloke using the toilet?
Toilet manners people, flushing goes a long way


Grind my gears just thinking about it....

Hometown Hainan Kopitiam, Taman Megah.

Okay met up with Evelyn again after some unknown reason. More like I can't remember...
Anyways went to yumcha at Hainan Kopitiam....




Apparently the coffee is better than Old Town.
Personally I think its the same, maybe one of them is smoother,
maybe, just maybe




That's about it.
I sorta liked the layout of the place and you can use free internet there.
There are also sofas instead of the hard wooden chairs you usually get
but when you get past all that,
just another kopitiam to me.


All for now.
