Irreplaceable...

There's some things you can't replace.
I bought a camera few months back. The reason for buying a camera was I need a good quality picture and video. As today was all about High-Definition (HD), I opted for a camera that supports 720p video recording.
I'd been using my phone as camera all the while. Until I realized the display of picture on my computer, which was very blur. That was the moment I realized that the phone camera does not produce good quality pictures and videos, also it was quite out-of-date, as I'd been using the phone for the past 6 years... Yes. 6 years. You did not heard wrongly.
That was until 3 days ago I changed to a new phone, Nokia C7... Let me guess, will I be using it for another 6 years...?

The camera on phone that I bought has 8 mega-pixels and supports HD video. However, I do not use it. Not really...

There's actually this thought of mine. I felt that phones can't replace cameras. Although they may have the most qualities that a camera has, thus posted a 'competition' (is it the right word?) between the 2 products, in personal opinion, I still think that camera exists (analog or digital) due to reasons that we, users, couldn't want to let go this product that has existed long ago. We still need camera for specific purposes. They can't be replaced by phones altogether. No. You won't think of a professional photographer uses a camera phone to take pictures, right? Let's not forget, the main function of the phone is make call and send messages. They are, until today.
There's more I need to stress out. Internet can't replaced televisions, newspapers, magazines and books (traditional media). We look for pieces of information all over the Net. In the end of the day, we still go back to the traditional medias to get the information.

Other than that, conventional phones cannot be replaced by mobile phones. I don't get some people. They don't use telephones in their homes. You need it. What if out of sudden you're mobile phone ran out of battery or just 'dead'? You must also know, not all places have network coverages. Also, lower the risk of cancer because there's no reception. Conventional telephones are to stay, no matter what.

I watched videos from YouTube just for fun. Not for the sake of watching it as I need it to be.
I can say I'm a 'traditional' person who still read newspaper daily, books, and magazines, watch television (been my habits since young) and listens to radio.

Whether you want to take pictures, watch movies or series, make calls, use the 'traditional gadgets' to do so.

p/s: Writing this blog as a reminder, remembering those 'traditional gadgets' that have been around us for a long time. Show respects to them...!

Semester 3...

Basically this is a short semester. I always like short semesters. Less subjects, assignments are done faster, more and time with lecturers.
This semester, I could say I'm more free that the other short semester I had when I entered university. Why? I took only 2 subjects. Less work and more concentration. Best of all, I don't have class on Mondays! Isn't this sounds good?! The previous semester, I had classes 8 hours, non-stop from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It was a real torture for me. From there I'd learned my lesson. Never take more than 15 credit hours for long semesters and 6 credit hours for short. In simple, 5 subjects maximum (long semester) and 2 subjects maximum (short semester).

I don't have class on Mondays. No more blues. No more alarm clock to wake me up. No more rush. Can stay up late...

p/s: I have longer sleeping hours, which is good, I think...

Food to thought...

I was reading newspaper in the morning and saw this weekly (sometimes fortnightly) article my doctor wrote. The title attracted me because it is related to: 'allergy'.

Those who knew me well, might know that I'm allergy to almost every food. From seafood to eggs and dairy products and certain nuts.
I'd history with food allergy. I don't know what and which type of food I'm allergic to until I tasted it. I had serious allergy problem 6 to 7 years back, as my face was full of red rashes. Took me almost 3 months to recover. Ever since that, I dare not to eat seafood, except fish anymore. No! Not even sambal belacan, otak-otak and keropok lekor. That's where I lost weight, because I was ill and restricted from eating all the food above.

Honestly, I'm not really a big fan of milk. I hate the taste being 'rubbery' and smelled funny. Well, everyone said that milk is good, this and that. So I listened and took it. I'd never enjoyed it. I showed reactions (not that serious) such as itchy and had rashes. OK, I'm officially allergy to dairy products now.
Being who I am is not easy. You have to let go many food that you indulged in. Girls, we all love creamy desserts, cakes and ice-creams (I loved once...). Sadly, I have to let go... a little by little. Nowadays, I only eat and drinks food and beverages containing soy milk. (At this very moment, I having a cup of banana flavored soy milk. Taste better than milk!)

I would like to know what kind of food you could not eat. Did you stop or continue eating those food you can't eat? Why?

Last words, food let to think, whether you should eat or not.
That's same with life. It's always your decision to take a step forward or remain in the same place.

潮语。。。

我最爱用潮语。为何？不会觉得无聊。还有能让自己跟得上潮流。
说实的 ，我不是全部潮语都懂。而是一些。以下是我常运用在每天生活中的潮语。

1.  ‘Chok’ - 意思摆出一个招牌动作，使得自己很‘形’。最好的例子是谢霆锋。Chok着样子来面对群众。
2. ‘放飞机’ - 爽约。基本上每一个小孩直成年都知道它的意思。
3. ‘卖飞佛’ - 直接从英文，‘My favorite’翻译。我只用在讲不标准粤语时候才用到。不知道是谁发明的？
4. ‘潜水/cheok chou’ - 逃走。我妈妈以前跟我说，一些人欠租金会‘cheok chou’。小心遇到这种、租客。
5. ‘浦’ - 逛街逛到很晚在回家。年轻人最爱做的事：‘浦街’
6. ‘打飞机’ - 这句潮语是我从Form 3的同学学会来的。意思是男女做的‘事’。
7. ‘窜’ - 很骄傲。
8. ‘收皮’ - 叫你滚开。

 

 

我在网上找到的。如果真的有此学校，第一个报读的是我。。。！
