iPad 2 Unboxing

Jong Fui Fa — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 15:38:44 +0000

iPad 2 really making you go gaga when you hold it in your hand. The hype Apple & Apple fans created does live up to it name as a magical product. Some thinks it overrated but you know when the technology promise what it can do and does it without fail you will definitely be please with your purchases and will be a return customer in the future.

My unit shipped by Star World has a multi layer courier soft bag, thank you so much for taking extra step to protect my iPad.

Packaging
Apple has a thing for beautiful packaging and with policy “customer only to open” every product purchase from Apple makes you feel premium and only the best!

Missing Earphone
I thought Apple would provide earphone for iPad but I was wrong. If you use iPad as a music player I would suggest you to get a nice least expensive and good quality earphone.

Apple Sticker
This is truly Apple signature! Every product comes with Apple logo Sticker and so far I have 3 set of these stickers and not sure when will I be using them. I got it from my Macbook, iPhone and now from my iPad.

I really love the solid feel of my iPad 2. I can’t wait to explore my iPad 2 for work, play and for my light surfing and blogging.

My iPad 2 Delay at Jabatan Kastam Kuching

I thought I would get my American Idol Snap and Win Contest prize iPad 2 on 23rd of May! 23 is my favorite number and I share the same golden number as David Beckhem! I thought I bend it like Beckhem but my iPad 2 knew what’s coming and decided to take a detour at our local customs office and sipping coffee with hopefully a beautiful sexy officer.

The good news is that I don’t have to pay any tax! “you no need to pay tax but still you have to wait for clearence from customs like everybody else” said the old lady who make me wait in front of the counter while she pay her credit card bill next door.

Tomorrow would be a good good day.

I won a 120BG 2.5’ USB Drive from Brent @ http://www.brentozar.com

I have always love computer technology especially reading something about Virtualization. His article on Laptop Virtualization Best Practices – and a Contest was really interesting.

I use my Mac on a daily basis and I run VirtualBox to run Windows. This article really informative.

I am actually trying to find out which run best on Mac, VMware or Parallels Desktop. Following Brent’s blog give me that idea. I can always find the comparison details on the net but what I want is the real experience from a real person.

Malaysian Bloggers, Lim Goh Tong is offering…

Jong Fui Fa — Sun, 27 May 2007 11:07:09 +0000

Calling out for Malaysian Bloggers! Lim Goh Tong the third richest man alive in Malaysia with net worth of US$4.3Bil is giving 10 x Double Deluxe Room away for free!

Here’s how you do it.

You must have a blog already if not please start one
Register yourself at MyStar
logon to allmalaysia.info to join the contest
Write your blog and invite more people to visit your site. May the good site win! Price is sponsored by Genting.

In conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2007, you are invited to blog. So if you have not start one, Allmalaysia.info is encouraging you to get a free blog at WordPress, blog, livejournal and etc… nothing mention about Friendster’s blog so if possible don’t use them. Friendster’s blog is not user friendly you can’t customize so much and of course if you make your account private I do not think the rest of the world would be able to read your blog.

Since these contests are open for voters as well, Voters get a chance to win Double Deluxe room too not bad eh! So please, keep voting… keep voting…keep voting (Singing the song of Dory from Finding Nemo)

Last month, Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor said Malaysian bloggers who host their blog locally may have to register with the authorities. This creates quite a stir for Malaysian bloggers whom respect the Government’s no-censorship policy on internet content.

So, for me this contest serve 2 things. Continue the freedom of writing and show to the world “the truly Malaysian” in conjunction with the Visit Malaysia 2007!

Happy Blogging!

My personal recommendation for the best blogging software and site would be WordPress.

Winning 6 Days 4 Nights Trip to Gold Coast Australia

Jong Fui Fa — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 17:05:04 +0000

I received an email from Channel V from TheTicket team telling me I was on the running in Arogon’s contest 5 days ago.

Few days later, Ms Chin Yee from 20th Fox calls me up and ask me to claim the winning letter from her office in Damansara. She told me that I’ve won a vacation and I am all excited without thinking much of the actual winning.

I take my opportunity to visit 20th Fox office to collect my winning on my monthly travel to Kuala Lumpur. I open the envelop in the car and you can imagine my excitement!

The letter reads “Congratulations! You have won yourself: 1 x 6 DAYS 4 NIGHTS TRIP PACKAGE FOR 2 PAX TO GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA”

Seriously I am still awestricken and I don’t know what to say knowing I’m going to Gold Coast Australia this coming Mac 2007.

Thank you Astro, Channel [V] and 20^th Fox in making it happen! I would never dream of going any where if it was not for you.
