Suddenly i feel very lost, in many ways, not just one.

Its like im lost in the track of time, people, and all the happenings.

finding of the day : ipad is overrated

so as you guys know just yesterday (or the day before, cant be bothered), ipad is released for sale Singapore. while im very skeptical on apple products, i decided to suspend my judgment and do some research. to my horror (or rather, expected), it seems that apple is just running out of ideas on what to sell, they (ipad, iphone, ipod touch) are almost the same.

below i will give a brief (and little bit biased) explanation on why i feel that ipad is overrated (just like other products)

1) Design

This is probably what irks me most, look at this, first there was ipod touch


make it bigger and you will get an iphone


make it even bigger, taddaaa! you get an ipad!
Seriously man, if im Steve Jobs, i swear i would have sacked ALL the designers in my company, i paid you a bloody few thousands per month and you can only come out with ONE design? (except that it got bigger and bigger).

ok Jobs, tell you what, sack them all, employ me instead, i dont need a monthly salary like those moneysucking-design team of yours, just pay me money for each design ok?

so i thought after all your triumph in the entertainment industry, i thought you might want to make it bigger (literally), so right, heres iTV for you.


and Jobs, just in case you might want to venture into furniture industry, heres one for you, iTable


2) Hardware

It bothers me very much that, after taking a closer look at their specs (ipod touch, iphone, ipad), i am very surprised that all 3 of them share almost the same specs, which again prove me right that apple products grow in size, thats all.

3) Function

This is the second most important factor that makes me dislike apple products (RIGHT behind design). so to sum it up briefly here's the basic functions of an...

ipod touch: music, video, gaming, application, web surfing
iphone: music, video, gaming, application, web surfing, call (ipod touch + call function)
ipad: music, video, gaming, application, web surfing, ebook (ipod touch + ebook function)

oh yea you can attach a keyboard to ipad and makes it a desktop, now thats HELPFUL

to those that had camped overnight outside the apple stores to get your hands on ipad, congratulations! you got scammed! =D

WHAT...
THE...
F**K

cant you guys see that apple is obviously trying to leech money out of us by adding more functions to the basic ipod touch and call it a new product to sell? wake up guys!

Conclusion: after this very long post, you must have thought i hate apple to bones, while thats true to some extent, i have to agree that ipod touch and iphone are quite good (infact ive thought of getting an ipod touch, and still thinking about it). however, at this rate this is going, with the almost identical design/specs/functions, i cant help but feel that apple products are walking towards the path of being the most overrated gadget ever.

PS: iThermometer anyone?

Comes with LCD screen, 2 USB ports, able to surf web, listen to music, and watch video. with a 3.5mm audio jack for ear piece.

After so many years, i still think this is the coolest desktop design ever. much better than those bloody common designs *cough* iphone *cough* itouch *cough* ipad

ok mingde mingde, how the hell did you mistaken a flying cockroach for a dragonfly?

epic fail of the day

Alright, i've always heard people saying that, "in camp, you can always find weirdo".

i doubted that line because i thought "hey i've seen enough man", but seriously i was wrong.

so in my platoon theres this praying mantis lookalike that acts like a parrot, basically thats what he does:

me: "the weather today is very nice"
he: "ya the weather very nice"

me: "the lunch not bad ah"
he: "ya the lunch not bad"

me: "wa tiring man!"
he: "ya tiring"

WTF i might as well go and talk to wall?

and then theres this guy whom i nicknamed scaredy-meatball, basically he's just so... restless and anxious. this guy is pretty okay but meh, learn to chill dude!

oh ya not to mention this new loser i've found (from different platoon thou) who had 25 girlfriends! given his character (a totally loser-liked one) im not too surprised that he failed in every relationship, what surprises me is that theres actually 25 stupid girls out there that had liked him before!

gosh, camp is really, where you meet all the weirdos

PS: i heard we're gonna have a second round of haircut next week, damn that to hell

Alright just in case anyone had missed out on this, i would like to take the chance to tell everyone that, im enlisted (into Kranji Camp 3).

what can i say? or rather, what can i complain?

good food, good sirs/sergeants, good platoon mates. what else can i ask for?

besides the traveling distance that is =\

it sure feels weird to be botak again, after like so many years since i was last spotted with one (guess that was during P6).

so basically what i've been doing everyday in camp?

nothing much actually, just lectures, talks, and eh, talks.

i guess the traveling is taking its toll on me, im feeling more and more lethargic each day as it goes, thankfully its just a one month thingy.

alright man, time for bed, got to wake up at 530 the next day, im gonna have mcdonald's breakfast tomorrow =)

PS: should i change my blog skin? =S

im quite confused

am i just a crazily sane person in this crazy world
or am i just an outrageously insane person in this ordinary world
