Chopstick Noodle House - yuck
Originally uploaded by kennyt.
Ate lunch with colleagues and editor after watching the media preview of DOOM. The movie is a mediocre fare. Something akin to Resident Evil but think, the Rock instead of Milla Jovovich - you get the picture. The lunch that followed was much worse. We headed down to Chopstick Noodle House in Midvalley and the food was overpriced, the service was a tad lacklustre and a colleague ordered a duck noodle which came with the duck but no noodle. When we approached the waitress and reminded her of the noodle, it arrived with duck in it. So we ended up getting a bill for a plate of roasted duck and a duck noodle. The captain was understanding enough to waive that extra plate of (wasted) duck off the bill but we're SO NOT IMPRESSED. Not really thinking of coming back, thanks

Menara Telekom

A view of Menara Telekom Malaysia. The money that we're paying for nasty
broadband services at third world speeds goes into building majestic looking
buildings like this. Not sure if i should be happy or sad. In a way it's a nice addition to the skyline. But on the other hand, on a personal level, the company deserves less credit. Speaking from my own experiences, Streamyx offers disappointing customer service and connections. I waited for more than a year to get my broadband connection. Apparently I was in the queue - while they opened more ports in my area. Yes, people of the world. I got by with a dial-up connection until 2004. By the way, my residence is a stone's throw from the "Technology Park Malaysia -TPM" and is within the Kuala Lumpur area. Heck it is 15 minutes from MidValley. So, if Malaysia talks of catching up with the rest of the world or matching developed nations, we should be looking at making information more accessible and outclassing others with our infrastructure. Before that happens, I am just counting my blessings that I have a working Internet connection... some other broadband applicants are still waiting, and thats sad

Sony Ericsson W900
Originally uploaded by kennyt.
Sony Ericsson's latest 3G Walkman phone - the W900
The versatile swivel design makes it easy to multitask between the W900's
many functions, a feature which gives the phone an advantage over dedicated
music players. The direct music buttons get the user swiftly into the
Walkman player where it is possible to scroll through play lists, artists or
individual songs. Users fed up with missing calls because they are listening
to music will love the fact that the phone's ringtone cuts into the audio
and pauses the track while the user takes the call
The phone swivels open automatically with the lightest of touches, revealing
a large keypad. Virtually all functions can be performed with the phone
closed, and users can read messages or search through their music library
without opening the phone
More than a fully featured music player, the W900 is a highly advanced
imaging and multimedia device with broadband-fast download speeds, smooth,
responsive browse capabilities and a large, 2.2 inch QVGA 262K TFT screen,
one of the brightest ever seen on a mobile phone
The 2 Megapixel, autofocus camera with LED flash- or picture-light is
perfect for capturing priceless moments and, thanks to the Sony Ericsson
dual fronted design, is operated with both hands in a horizontal position
for maximum stability. The camera also shoots video at up to 30fps (frames
per second), double the speed of most conventional imaging phones and the
playback quality threshold for television
The W900's large internal 470MB user free memory provides space for between
120 and 240 songs. The storage capacity is easily increased however by
inserting a Memory Stick PRO Duo, currently available in retail outlets at
up to 2GB, giving space for up to 1,000 tracks. Music files can be stored in
all the key formats: MP3, AAC or AAC+, MIDI, WAV and XMF
Note: By the way did you just notice a dramatic improvement in the picture
quality on the last few (much needed) updates? That's because I've just
switched from the Sony Ericsson K700 to a Motorola RAZR V3 Black Edition...
to the my latest love, the Sony Ericsson W800i with 2 mega pixel auto focus
camera! Yeay
