technology

at the moment, im thanking God with the invention of technology!!!

phones
cars
mobiles
laptops/pc
cd
cable
internet
microphone
webcam!!!

u name it, im happy because of it all!!!

i have all the above... ok, maybe except the webcam.. but im seriously thinking of getting one.. then again, liat dulu lah ;p and the car.. whee... i have a list of my dream cars!!!

lallaa..

all these technology makes u live a simpler life!!! and possibly cheaper... (but not when i have to start paying the bills each mth ;p muahaha)

all these technologies make it easier for me communicate with people back home!!! and now it will be really CHEAP to 'call' people back home!!! or anywhere in the world that is ;p i say call in inverted commas because i am not actually calling.. i use the internet.. with the help of my newly bought microphone headset (yes yes.. iv gone all technological ;p) there isn't a lag... it is cheap. its loud and clear. and its so easy to use!!! hehhe =) again, im gonna do a mini advertising thing... bali tah microphone!!! and get everyone you know to have internet!!! =) i tell you, it WILL be cheap! =)

u can be internet calling by either using msn (by pressing the audio button) or by using skype... sth that Rizal and Shidi had baik heartedly told me about =) thank you!!!

pros of using msn...
  1. most ppl are already on msn, so no further downloading required.
  2. msn is so easy to use

pros of using skype
  1. its so similar to msn, so its ultra easy to use
  2. it actually rings when someone calls you... makes you feel like its a real phone call
  3. conference call!!!! whee!!!

cons of msn...
  1. sometimes lagging.
  2. one person on audio at a time
  3. its sth not new ;p

cons of skype
  1. u have to download it to ur pc/laptop
  2. sometimes it aint clear..
well... im thanking god about technology, but really, its just special attention to the internet and skype and microphone thing plang.. but, i thought why not just make this yet another long blog by rambling on about all the other things right...?

so here goes...

with technology, i don't really have to take down notes during lectures.. just print it off... i just have to remember to do it BEFORE the lecture.. keh keh keh... without technology, lectures could be worse than it already is... imagine a monotonous lecturer (i seem to have LOADS of them) talking to you about KREBS CYCLE for an HOUR!!! without any illustration!!! can u believe that? HELL NO!!! you don't want to imagine it!!!

without technology.. mana ada alarm clock!!! and we will all be waking up REALLY REALLY OR JUST LATE and as a result not getting to where we are meant to be (work/class) on time! u might think "OH yea..." but really.. do you really wanna stay stoopid and just remain at ur standard now...? or have lack of sleep and have black circles under ur eyes? also, without alarm clocks... we will miss SAHUR altogether!!! ani yang merana berabis ni!! LAPAR for the whole BRIGHT (or the lack of it here) DAY LIGHT!!!

cable!!! whee!!! There is no enough praise the cable inventer can receive!!! cable is soooooooooooooooooo GOOD!!! u get (almost, in my case) everything!!! just with the click of a button! and... they can change the channel automatically if u set it earlier... so u cari wat u want to watch, click remind, and wala... that will be it... so u don't need any brain input to it watsoever... (note: i prefer Sky's facility compared to Telewest's because Sky is just sO much user friendly!)

phones... ok, i have to admit, im not so much of a phone person... somehow, i don't really like to just bergayut on the phone... because
  • it hurts my ear(s)
  • ngalih angkat the phone
  • ngalih and malas
but, i have to say.. telephone makes life so much easier... siapa u want to talk to, just press some buttons, given that the other person picks up, u can talk! =) if its raining outside.. inda payah berujan mengaga rumah nya ;p and... telephone banking!! heard of it? OMG!!! this is so KEWL!!! =) kalau u r not yet on telephone banking, start it now!!! its so easy!!! inda payah go to your branch.. everything done just with the automatic operator... hehehe ;p

then, they went a step or two further... mobile phones came.. sure when it was first introduded.. it was the builder's phone.. the big fat motorolla.. (HELLO MOTO!) keh keh keh... that was kewl!! =) i actually like that phone! of course i wouldn't want it now, because its so ultra bulky, and it can only do so much ;p with mobile phones.. they started the short messages system (that's what im assuming the latter s stands for ;p) i LOVE sms!!! getting them, and composing them (i have to say tho, balsy is quite good at composing useless text.. no?) hehehe...

one thing that kinda annoys me with texting is tho.. ppl (esp girls) shorten everything so much.. its actually quite hard to understand. (altho sometimes ppl come up with the kewlest abbreviation ;p).. then, there are ppl (girls yet again) who do not use the basic fullstop . comma , space !!!! i mean, WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT? sheesh.. payah and paning kan di baca!!! it helps if u actually use all the facilities allowed by ur phone ;p

cars... do you want me to talk about cars...? i think atu nanti saja... a whole new topic all for itself =) besides. cars deserve that special treatment!!!

one popular technology iv not mentioned... (kalau kamu pandai, ul knw what im talking about) is the digicam!!! digital camera... ones that use the memory stick? (ppl are more than welcomed to correct me if im wrong!) take LOADS of the pictures and save it either to a cd/laptop and print the ones u like ;p

today, i saw it used in one of the cleverest way possible!!! to explain, i have to do a wee bit of cerita session. in second year, medicine, dundee... every week we have Integrated Teaching Area session.. its quite pointless in the sense that we don't actually have time to go there and read everything they've put up. but its useful (if u have a good tutor) and u can use it as a weekly revision session... in that sense its good... anyway.. in ITA ada banyak posters... everything regarding sth we'v learnt thru out the week... core stuff.. and beyond things (which i personally will not allow myself to get bothered about ;p) so tadi Hannah and I went.. (we were being responsible good students!) and there we were.. going round the room with our paper and pen.. copying what we thought we weren't sure about ;p

we were there for a good half an hour... (thought that was a wee bit too long) then.. baru jua kami ready kan go out.. come this girl (who has quite an annoying habit of sucking her thumb whilst listening to the lecture, but tha's beside the point!) clicking away!!! i thought orang bergambar.. so i smiled and looked in the direction of the klick sound to see who... the thumb sucking girl (who i can only assume goes by the name Sarah) taking pictures with her digicam (our featured technology in this part of the blog)!!! how original and clever was that?!!! instead of just writing things down.. she takes a picture of it, transfers it to her laptop.. and prints it off and read!!! mahaha... bagus ah... keh keh keh.. to say the least, i was very impressed with her thinking ;p

hmm.. suddenly saya mental block... i duno what else i wana talk about ;p

mungkin, i shall continue next time? but before that... i have to mention this somewhere...

last night, me, fiz + mas and faten were all telephone conferencing.. it was kewl =) hehehe... lama sudah inda cakap with each other.. especially faten!!! miss u ten!!! talked to you for quite a bit ey? keh keh keh... masuk my duvet, and i was terus asleep.. and, it was kinda hard to wake up, but i wasn't groggy all day in uni ;p

oh yea, to anyone who will download skype after reading this.. hopefully ramai ;p my username is tambitang ;p of course!!!

cant wait til tomoro.. first, sungkai free.. NB masak... and ka jack is coming!!! whee... not seen her since august!!! whee.. gonna be exciting.. well.. im sure itl be, tho i duno what we wil be doing ;p keh keh keh...

my tag board is up.. as you can see.. start tagging away.. and everything is all thanks to WARDAH.... *clap*clap* ps war, im listening to the cd u burnt for me... i missing u!
