After receiving great news of my 5th semester result, I walked to some place quiet to inform my parents about it. Guess my bright day is not over, yet.

WHAT!!! SOFT TOYS @ Swinburne University?

What’s with those soft toys at the new bookstore? Who’s going to buy? This epic bookstore is located at the ground floor of main building of Swinburne Sarawak University Campus. This really make my day.

As you all know that last night was the end of the year 2008. My friend and I went to bing! Coffee, Premier 101 branch to celebrate the coming brand New Year 2009. 

In fact, this is the first time I stepped in this cafe. Usually I went to the pandungan branch (bing! Coffee). This branch is more or less the same as the main branch. I’ve ordered one glass of ice-blended tiramisu, with one tiny piece of biscuit ontop. It tastes great. 

** To be frank, my blog has been quite slacking recently. My life has been busy awhile and I have this little weird disease, AKA laziness. Hopefully I would recover from this awful disease. 2008 is a good year for me, joyful indeed. Here’s my story, I have traveled to Kuala Lumpur in early of December (after my examination). Joyful moment is indeed shorter than I’ve expected. After the trip, I am back to face the reality world. 

Back to the present, it is quite packed at bing! coffee. We have a funniest moment, while playing with my funniest iPod touch. As usual, the dark sky is enlighten with beautiful sparking fireworks. 

** Sadly, I have a big spend on the year of 2008. But still, it is definitely worth for every penny that I’ve spent. Is it just luck or what? Lately I have managed to grab few good opportunity in ‘working’ world, such as designing some brochures and web designing. So, I hoping to spend less and earn more in this brand new year of 2009. 

Hope I’m not too late, HAPPY NEW YEAR OF 2009!!! 

Today, I just recieve a mail for uTorrent. Surprising, uTorrent for mac has arrived. Sadly, it is still a beta. I have tried this uTorrent, running in my macbook. It is indeed pretty lightweight client. There’s a couple of lack-down or lesser-feature on the windows uTorrent, no upload/download speed indicator at the dock icon, no remote access (web interface), no blocklist and etc.

Now the lightweight power and performance of µTorrent available for your Mac. Get µTorrent Mac Here.

*By the way, I have my first crash after 5mins launching the app.

Yesterday (22th November), I just went to our Kuching, first ICT Mall, or second (previously it is located at Saberkas). OneTJ is a mini-Low Yat Plaza (LY is popular in KL city) which is located at the Heights Drive commercial centre and first opening at 22th November 2008. The compound is rather small, but still bigger than Green Heights Mall according to Wiki (oneTJ is 6,270 m²,whereas GHM is 4,000 m²).

The above picture is taken before the soft-opening. Sadly the opening day was not that ‘great’ comparing to the other malls such as tHe Spring, Boulevard & GHM. According to one of my friends, he mentions that it is pretty crowded during the morning section.

There is lucky draw event at the ground floor and you-know-who is the organizer, DIGI.

As you all know, this is ICT mall. So, not much to tell here. There are still tons of empty outlets for rent. Besides that, there are some non-ICT outlets, such as kitchen appliance outlet, hair salon, and etc.

I’m very impressed with the food court. The food court, SAMBA ZONE, is located at the most upper top floor. It gives a very classy and modernism environment. In my point of view, I think it is the best comparing to tHe spring’s food court. Samba equips with three luxuriously LCD TV, just like atmosfera cafe. Food wise, I have no comment on this because I have not try any of the food.

The whole mall is covered with deConneXion WIFI, which is free until 31 Dec 2008 according to the deConneXion site. Sadly, I have a pretty bad experience with this service. Oh well, it is still great because you still can be able to get ‘connected’ as long as you are inside the mall. And I end up buying one item, iPod charger for my Touch, which only costs 20buck. 

After playing my Touch for quite awhile, I’ve decided to write a review on this awesome & amazing app which works on iPod Touch/iPhone. Colors!

Colors! is a painting application for your iPod touch/iPhone. It is firstly developed for Nintendo DS. It is not so powerful as photoshop but it is better than your-one-and-only MS PAINT (default painting application on windows platform). Colors! is based on modern painting techniques originally developed for drawing-tablets, it allows to adjusting brush size, opacity, soft-edge, hard-edge and dynamic brush size/opacity via accelerometer (tilting left/right). And one cool feature of this app, it allows to play the whole drawing process.

I have draw a Red Apple. (Yeah, NOT too good piece of artwork). It’s a bit tough to draw since using your finger tip to draw. Need more practices. I’ve used roughly 30mins to complete it. As I’ve mentioned before, it allow to playback your artwork process. Below is the-speedy-video on my Red Apple.

Or you can go to Colors!-Red Apple to view the my Red Apple process. It is indeed a must app in your iPod Touch/iPhone, especially you are keen in ART. Colors! has two version, FREE and PAID. FREE version disable the save feature.
