Ubuntuの Rhythmbox

Definitely a good music player on Ubuntu. Just look at those Korean/Chinese/Japanese fonts on it, freaking sexy!

Galaxy S又はDesire HD?

So with me telling my dad that I really wanted a new phone.. because of all my efforts, my parents decided that they will buy a new phone for me.

At first I thought I had to rely on M1 plan to get a new phone where Galaxy S cost $728(wtf). However and luckily enough, I called up the Singtel customer hotline 1688 to enquire whether if it's possible for a recontract and with some light, it is able to. That means we have two plans able for recontract which means either one can be used to get a new phone.

Yes at first my choice was Galaxy S all the way but after reading all the stupid opinions on the net about GPS problems and LAG, I came out with a conclusion about this phone myself + gave myself another choice which is the Desire HD.

Looking at all the unboxing videos of Galaxy S and videos of this device with lagfix applied, I realized one thing - the processor is definitely better than any of the smartphones out there. Why? Here's why. Developers at xda knew that the lag was due to the older filesystem implemented on the storage device and what this means is that with a stock Galaxy S, right out of the box, the lag is due to processor being damn fast but it has to wait for the filesystem to complete its previous/other tasks. Aint this a simple conclusion of why it lags?

As for GPS problem, it would most likely be the problem with hardware where some devices were affected but not all. Well, I am experiencing the same problem with my current Omnia II so I don't see why people are kicking a fuss over this issue - you can blame the GPS chip provider.

Saying that, this paragraph relates for myself and that is the choice between Galaxy S or Desire HD. When it comes to a mobile gadget and being a trance listener, I will definitely need a gadget that can play music with the ability to change sound effects like equalizer and all. I know Desire HD has the Virtual Dolby SRS, but then again with the experience from my laptop I don't think it will really give a good experience for me.

Pros and Cons that I weigh for my choice:

Galaxy S Pros:

• Fast Processor
• Super AMOLED
• I prefer Touchwiz over HTC Sense
• Music Player has a definitely pro in its interface
• Good out-of-the-box apps which I require

Cons:

• No flash for camera means absolutely no dark room macro shots, however I believe  the night mode is good for night landscape photo taking.
• GPS problem - I may once in a while play with maps

Desire HD Pros:

• Huge screen
• Have flash for camera
• (Ugh, I can't think of any other pros)

Cons:

• POOR BATTERY LIFE - THE USUAL HTC CRAP
• HTC Sense UI tends to get a little dull (especially after playing with Android on HD2)
• (After looking through videos of this phone) It definitely looks laggy.

だから、この選択がほんと困難な。

Ubuntu は面白い

Have been playing around with Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick since yesterday and apparently this kind of OS suits me. I can play all my HD videos, listen to music, browse internet, log on to twitter and facebook.

Only downside is that I can't do much of productivities, especially when there's no support for adobe photoshop cs5.

Also, since games are something I hardly play these day, I can stick to Ubuntu until I have a game to play. 笑

Lastly, I just love the font named 'Ubuntu' on Ubuntu.

Ubuntu は面白い。

時間に飛ぶ

時間に飛ぶ。- yep, time flies.

It's already end of week 1 for school. We've started on linux and it seems like all our modules uses virtual machines, again. But seriously, no more windows alright - it's all RED HAT LINUX.

Also, it seems that this semester is yet another memory work. What I do hate about this semester is that there are quizzes in like week 3, 4 and 5 then week 6 etc. MEMORY WORK IS GONNA KILL ME ONCE AGAIN ARGH.

Hope I wouldn't have problem just like last semester. HOPE - KIBOU - きぼう(希望) - XIWANG.

私の人生

I have been updating my tumblr blog rather than this one as I have more feelings to write more than any activities that I have done.

Too much observations already.

Hmm, I definitely have a habit of the need to use Japanese at least once per day.
私は日本語が大好き。全部。

and this would come in handy to understand the Japanese days of the week:

何が良いですか？

This is how my current windows desktop look like:

and before was 김태희.

So, I asked myself this, what's better? 佐々木希 or 김태희 or abstract or nature wallpaper?

I always loved cute girls/actresses.
可愛い女優大好きです。

Perhaps, it's not wrong to have a girl as wallpaper. Perhaps, I rather look at someone that is part of my dreams than finding a girl in Singapore who isn't feminine at all.

With just appearance as a minor role in ハンサム・スーツ and the female lead in 天使の恋, I have to admit that she's another cute girl in Japan.

Even though she's a model and she appears more in magazine than in visual media, I must say she looks best in visual media.

Her acting in 天使の恋 made me feel that she's one gentle person. Of course, no one will know an actress/actor's  true self from just watching them acting in shows. However from her bio, it shows that she's Capricorn and that makes me think that she's different from any other girls. (Capricorns are seriously rare.)

The gestures and everything of hers in 天使の恋 are really mesmerising, I just like her the way she is - not just being cute!

天使の恋

天使の恋 - Tenshi no Koi

EDIT: Added another poster cause I think it's a bit too off..

Well the (edit)SECOND(edit) movie poster definitely is 'attractive', lol. Honestly for me, it was the title that attracted me first.

Plot

17 year old high school student Rio (Nozomi Sasaki) is always the center of attention due to her beauty. Yet, Rio has never cared about anyone but herself due to her traumatic past. Her friends and boyfriends exist only so she can use them for her gains. Rio is only interested in money.
Then one day she meets 35 year college professor Kouki and falls in love for the first time. Rio feels confused by her emotional change and expresses her love to Kouki honestly. Although Kouki becomes interested in Rio there is a reason he can't pursue the relationship ...

The actress is ささきのぞみ(佐々木希) - Sasaki Nozomi and I watched this movie after ハンサム・スーツ.

This movie teaches somewhat some value of human life, not fully. But of course, this movie actually shows the power of love which could change one for the better.

The ending should be realistic I guess since from what I know a person who lost memories could get it back in some ways. That's the only thing I can say about this movie.

Anyways because of ハンサム・スーツ and 天使の恋, another actress added to my idol list and that adds up to 3. Besides, comparing Kitagawa Keiko and Sasaki Nozomi, Nozomi has that better cute charm.

• 佐々木希 - Sasaki Nozomi
• 北川景子 - Kitagawa Keiko
• 김태희 - Kim Tae Hee

Oh and of course I do have the list of actors too, just that listing the actress is much more realistic for myself since I am a GUY. =.=

Lastly, 日本映画本とは生活の値教える。

for those I've watched so far もちろんです。

あなたに駆動力ですか？

あなたに駆動力ですか？translates into "What is your driving force?"

Basically mine will be the faces of the actresses I like and the languages that falls into my eyes and/or ears.

Because of them and that, it pushes me to find more movies/dramas to watch and that is of course, for the sake of entertainment. It's not just games and games.

ゲームはかっこいいじゃないですね。- What I am trying to say is that playing games all the time won't be wonderful/awesome/cool.

Anyway, 1 or 2 years back when I was into 北川景子, I watched one of the trailer of a movie which she casted in and that is ハンサム・スーツ but didn't know where to obtain it. This year, after discovering this awesome website - http://www.yellowcinema.com - I am able to download not just that movie as there are more than it meets the eye.
I found this website by chance as my bro wanted me to download some Thai horror movie and let's not forget the awesomeness of Megaupload.

Those who watched K-Movie 200 Pound Beauty will realized there's similarity from this movie.

결심아요

Since I rely on Google Translate so much for my learnings, I really do hope that it has at least an accuracy of more than 85%.

Learning the wrong thing and applying it can be so embarrassing. Anyway the title says I am determined. Now that I have found out a new website to further learn Korean, 나는 결심아요.
(私は決心ですよ。)

Man, I get so hyped up when I see Asian foreign languages.
The site that I found is: langintro.com/kintro/, in case if anyone's interested.

I was able to form a few Japanese sentence before and now I am hoping to form some basic Korean sentence. In order to do so, I need to know which word do I need to use to start off and end it. (Just like か？means to ask question in Japanese and other obvious ones are です。, etc)

So far what I know of is that "다" or what everyone usually heard as "나다" is the stem(ending word to a sentence) for verbs. The Korean sentence structure is SOV(Subject-Object-Verb) just like Japanese, so the presence of "다" is usually appears in quite a few.

Also,
"아요" and "오요" are stem words for nouns.

Ok, back to learning.
다시 학습합니다.
(lol, 다시 means again - making that sentence strange.)

매일아침, 그는바리바게뜨
Paris Baguette every morning.
(김태희's face is my driving force lol.)

아이리스 Again

Yes, as stated by the title, I rewatched Iris K-Drama and found out that there are a few scenes which I didn't understood now understand.

Like there's one scene where Park Chul Young was captured by Kim Hyun Jun's men, now I understood why he's captured.
There are still a number of scenes where I understood but forgotten which already.

Also I've realized there are also momento scenes (Other than the scenes where Seung Hee and Hyun Jun meet unexpectedly). The ones where all the truth are revealed to the higher (good) authorities are the ones.

One of it is where Hyun Jun, in which after he took the secret car key, met the President and the truth about IRIS is revealed.

Okay this one isn't really about the truth but to give the truth:
Another is where when Sang Hyeon (NSS Section Chief) was arrested for that stupid 'treason' and then Baek Sun and Sa Woo went to look for him in the interrogation room. The way Sang Hyeon tell them off are really.. heartfelt.

There are more, of course - wish I could list them all here as an entry of what I wishes to remember.

Lastly, after rewatching I realized the ending ain't that dumb after all. It seems that it's not about the public commotion where Hyun Jun got assassinated because Lee Byun Hun has to go film the movie GI-Joe.

You see, if watched carefully and gave a thorough thought (which I did), a different opinion or more clear cut analysis will be resulted in.

Looking back at the last action scene in which the South President meets the VIP of the North - Seung Hee, who received a phone call after the mall incident, was actually there to carry out the IRIS 'forced' order (from what I think it should be 'forced'), that is to assassinate the President but instead she killed other terrorists and 'joins' back the good side due to the call by Hyun Jun.

Because Seung Hee disobeyed that order given by the higher authority IRIS organization, she was probably followed and then her loved one was assassinated. Makes sense? たぶん。However, if this question of how was she watched/followed.. obviously the terrorists died and the President lived - which means job not done by Seung Hee and there you go..

Now who can I share my thoughts with?

Windows 7 ヒドゥンユーティリティ

Apparently there's a hidden utility.. or maybe not really in Windows Vista/7 that allows for copying multiple files instead of just one.

It's called Robocopy, which can be ran through command prompt 'robocopy'.

Copy files faster in Windows 7

Copying files in Windows can take a long time, since Windows by default uses one thread (which means one file at a time) to copy the files. The tool Robocopy that ships with the operating system (and Windows Vista, Windows XP users need to install it separately) offers to copy multiple files at once. Here is how it is done:

robocopy “sourcefolder” “destinationfolder” /MT:XX

sourcefolder is the folder of the files that need to be copied, e.g. c:\windows\
destinationfolder is the folder the files need to be copied to
MT:XX defines the number of copy threads, e.g. MT:10 for ten threads.

Fractal パズルゲーム

It was Auditorium and now it's a video of Fractal.
Same creator..

夢信じます

After finding out these games, I realized it's another DeJaVu.

They are called Fractals and Auditorium by Cipher Games.
Find out more about the games and play the demo at :
Fractals: http://www.playfractal.com/
Auditorium: http://www.playauditorium.com/

They are really awesome Flash-based games, way way much better than Bejeweled and all the crap games on Facebook.

I took screenshot only for Auditorium cause those neat colours + lines are really calming.

クローズド . ノート J-Movie

クローズド . ノート - Closed Note: A Japanese movie in 2007 acted by 沢尻 エリカ (Erika Sawajiri).

Before I slept, I watched this show/movie.

Okay, first of all I was looking at the name that appears and when Erika's name was shown, it gave me a familiar feeling that I saw this name somewhere before.
Right then, I couldn't remember and continued watching the show - much predictable story but still awesome.

だから, now I went to search the name of Erika Sawajiri and found out that she was the one that sang for モップガール J-Drama. Much to the delight of similar names.

Then back to the movie - there's this part where it uses UFO as a lure for the guy by the girl to look out of the window.

Download (MyAsianCinema):

-----------------------------------------------------------
Emphasizing on UFO, I think I saw one last night before watching this movie. (Once again, the funny coincidence. Why the hell would anything comes right to my either senses when I am so into that particular topic? Just like how Korean and Japan stuffs were 'all over me' when I am into the languages.) 

The UFO was circular shape from what I think it will be, and it has the basic RGB lights which was flickering in the sky. There's this part where it started moving slowly and while the UFO was in sight of the binoculars I was using to zoom into, the lights suddenly disappeared right in the blink of my eyes.
Well, if only my camera wasn't with my sis at that point of time - probably I could have taken a video as well as many pictures of it. (Since it can snap the moon, obviously snapping a shot of that UFO isn't a problem.)

P.S.: Going into Korean doesnt mean that I had threw Japanese away, in my mind.

안녕하세요 십월

In case the title seems a little off here, it means "Hello October" .

September flies, without much 'valid' posts for that month.

Fringe Season 3, Borderlands Claptrap's New Revolution DLC4, downloaded some K & J Movies.

Just finished watching Liar Game The Final Stage and really loved the movie. Thank goodness it was downloadable since this movie stopped showing in GV, leading me to think that I will never get to watch it but still..... yeah!

All out and now it seems like I am down to nothing much except a few more movies that I downloaded.

Maybe I shall post a few screens on Borderlands DLC4 *spoilers*:

Bandit *toot toot* Express - LOL!

Every enemies in Borderlands became "Traps"
