Happy new year!

now its really been a while..last post was sometime back in october...
lots of things to write..if i can remember them..
lets see, some 2009 highlights..
1. got confirmed as permanent at mesiniaga.
2. Android!
3. No Use For A Name "Feel good tour of the year"
4. MXPX All Stars in Malaysia

Those are some of the good events in 2009.. i hope 2010 will be filled with more punk rock shows :D

anyway, the transition from 2009 to 2010 was a roller coaster. first was the never ending year end closing for mesiniaga. i still can't believe after all these years, they still are n00bs at that. come on, its new year's eve, people have plans, and there is a time limit on when you can do transactions, don't fucking decide to implement a new process at 4pm, when you could have decided the same fucking thing 3 months earlier. it would have saved a lot of people a lot of time.
what a bunch of morons..

anyways, managed to get off work at 8pm that day, rush to KJ LRT to pick up Zura then went straight to the barber. had planned to cut my hair and remove my beard and mustache for a while now, and 31 dec was the day to do it. i look so different. last time i went clean shaven was probably in 2003.

then it was home for a quick shower then off to Hana's. the usual uno, pizza, lepak, fireworks, lepak again, borak session.

after that, came the long weekend. took extra time off from work, so i had a total of 5 days to laze around.

spent the last 2 days of my break re-living my post-spm days. went to the curve on monday and ikea+curve+ou on tuesday. walking around aimlessly in shopping malls. heh. wonder why i did it that much then.

anyways, its 12:30am, 6th of jan 2010, which translates to 8:20am 5th Jan 2010 in California. More importantly, San Francisco, CA. at 10am, Google will be making an announcement on the Nexus One. Should be interesting to see what that will bring. what, i wonder, will be the official price for that piece of tech. 1ghz proc, 512mb of ram, 512mb of rom, 3.7in OLED capacitive touch screen, 5mp camera with LED flash, gps, magenometer (aka digital compass), bluetooth, wifi, proximity sensor and light sensor, for a phone. mmm. best of all, it will be running android 2.1. i wish i can get my hands on that.

someone donate me a Nexus One please :D. rumor says 530USD. which translates to RM1900++ . which isn't bad at all considering what other models with lesser capabilities are being sold for here. but there are rumors that it will be available in europe for 199 euros (RM970) later in q1. which is even cheaper. so i hope that is true. time to fire up my credit card again :p

well, i guess the world will find out in a few hours. waking up will be fun with me trying to catch up with all the news.

looking forward to the cameron highlands trip with the usuals on 16th-17th jan, followed by the genting trip with the purchasers and their families on 23rd-24th jan. going to be so broke.
