New gadget!!!

Hey hey....
Got a new gadget to add to my collection. The Nokia E65!

(Photos taken with my Sony Ericsson K618I)

Got this phone for free from Singtel by signing up for the $99.86 Mio Plan. Well, why Mio plan? I'm currently on Singnet Broadband 10Mbps and my residential line is under my name as well. Both of these add up to around close to $75+ per month. (Sometimes close to $90+ as they charge the fixed line rental quarterly.) So now I get a free mobile phone and an additional mobile line with just a little bit extra cost. Quite a good deal IMHO. Hehehe.

Anyway, back to the phone itself. I bought the Mocha/Silver version and I like it a lot. Here's a quick review from me.

Appearance
As a business centric phone, it got the looks. It is slim. (Unless compared to Samsung.) It feels nice on my hand and it is not so heavy. The best thing I like about the phone in this department is the battery cover. It got a leathery texture/feel to it which makes it really looks like a business phone. Slider is solid as well.

Connectivity
Well, I got nothing to complaint here. Other than 3G, it got WIFI, Bluetooth and IR onboard. (You may say 3G is out as there is 3.5G now. But seriously, I'm not confident of our 3.5G infrastructure in Singapore now. Give 3.5G a few more years.) The WIFI allows me to be connected to any public hotspot easily. It can scan and detect wireless network and I can get myself connected quickly. At home, I got it connected to my secure Wireless Network without much glitches and I use it to make free calls using Pfingo which is quite clear. When I am outside, I connect to Wireless@SG and it also work well. I also use it to get online to Windows Live Messenger and use Mail for Exchange to synchronize with my school exchange server. The built in web browser is also ok. I use the Bluetooth to link to my macbook that runs Windows Vista. (HEHE!)

Display
The display is quite clear and nice. I got a screen protector on it since I got it.

UI
This is the first time I own a Symbian OS device (Played with my friends' phone before) and as a techkie, I get used to it pretty fast. UI is quite intuitive and I can get things done on it pretty fast.

Multimedia
The camera is just a plain jane 2MP camera. I'm okie with it as a camera is not the most important function I look for on a phone. The speakers are quite ok. MP3 ringtones sound ok to me. It's nice that they added in a 256MB MicroSD card in the package and the card is MADE IN JAPAN!!!! (YIPPIE!!!)

Work Stuff
This phone got the PIM functions as well and it syncs with Outlook/Exchange server. So I'm now using it as a supplement/replacement of my trusty Sony Clie that has been serving me for a long time.

Battery Life
Quite okie so far. Given my high usage of WIFI/Bluetooth.

That's all for now.

Grades and BODYPUMP Instructor Course

Phew...So long never update blog........Recently a lot of things have happened.
1st, results for exam is out. I got A-, B-, C for 3 modules. Another 2 modules I never sit for exam as my dad passed away that time......The consolation is that I finally got my 1st A grade in Uni.......So phew.....

2nd, recently I took up BODYPUMP Instructor training. Seriously, I dunno why I wanna take this up initially. Maybe because BODYPUMP is the 1st Les Mills program that I have done since I have joined FitnessFirst......So when I know that there is a BODYPUMP Instructor Course, I checked with Faye and I signed up for it without much thought. But soon after I sign up, I started to think more about it. Especially after I did the launch of BODYPUMP 62 led by the great Kylie Gates, Andrew and Maverick. This release is going into the record books as one of the toughest release man! After doing the launch class, I start to ask myself question like what kind of "shit" have I got myself into......my goodness.

So as I was thinking, the course date approaches. So I just throw all worries behind me and go into the course with a learning attitude.

The course was conducted over 3 days at Fitness First The Cathay. (8th-10th June) The trainer of the course is Wes Carter. He's a nice chap and he have a good sense of humor. hehe.... I also saw a few familiar faces at the course as well.....People like Jun Wei, Joanna, KS, Fernie, Alan etc...During the 3 days, we have a lot of fun and hard work. (BODYPUMP Survivor, BODYPUMP Challenge, Jokes, Presentations, Theory lessons, mad runs and many many more.....) During the course, many people also came and support us. People like Faye, Andrew, Xavier and Eve all came down to support us. It's nice to see them around and their support keep us going. So after the 3 days training, I passed the training......I felt that I was lucky (Maybe I'm blessed.......I got the tracks that I'm more confident in.=D) So next up, audition. Hope I can get pass it!

Life.........is weak

Today I think is the darkest day in my life. My dad that is so dear to me has pass away.

The last time I see him physically alive was when he was about to be sent to the hospital this morning. That time, he was still quite allright. But after that, he called home from the hospital and I answered the call. That was the last time I hear him speak. I asked him to pass the phone to the nurse so that I can find out more about his condition. But the nurse refused to tell me. So I decided to make a trip down to the hospital. I communicated with my sisters along the way and my eldest sister decided to join me. So once I reach the hospital, I was told that my dad had a heart attack by the doctors at the A&E and they are suggesting a balloon operation to open up his blood vessles. So I was told to find the doctor from the cardiag department. My sister joined me at this time and so we went up together.

When we went up, we met the doctor and he told us that dad has left us. My sis broke down. I was keeping my emotion in control. My dad's heart attack was too serious and resucitation procedure failed to bring him back. My mind went blank. So I called my Mom and my 2nd sister to break the news to them.

When I saw my dad's body, emotions took control. I broke down as well. Even though I may hate my dad at times because he sometimes do things that hurt the family and mom especially. But he is still my dad and I love him. I want him to see me dress in my acad gown, get married and even carry my child next time. But he won't live to see that day.

Before I leave the hospital, I kiss my dad's body on the forehead. It was cold. But that is the last time I can really feel my dad.

It's dad's birthday tomolo. Dad-Happy birthday, I love u. I hope u will have a better Life with god above. Lord. I hand my dad into your hands. Amen.
