Celcom Xpax BIS 250

cocklea — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:17:16 +0800

Hey guys,

My sister bought the Curve 8520 from Celcom today and got that compulsory RM50 prepay topup with it as well. I haven't been using Blackberry for a while so I thought why not take my 8900 for a spin. Register the simcard, put credit, yada yada yada.

At 4pm today, I activated the BIS 250, the RM2.50 a day Blackberry service. From what I read, it can take up to 24 hours for activation. Fine, I can wait, but that damn thing took RM2.50 out of my credit in advance, which I thought would go towards the BIS once it is activated. But just now at 12 midnight, it deduct another RM2.50! Im out RM5.00 and still no BIS!

Im not really sure what is happening here, but Im definitely pissed. Im not the "call customer service" kind of person so I'm thinking about going to Celcom tomorrow and throw some flying f*** at them. But before i do that, anybody here facing the same problem?

Midnight shower, good or bad?

cocklea — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 18:10:43 +0800

Ok, here's the thing. I have this thing where I've got to have one last shower before I go to sleep, maybe around 10-11 pm. According to urban legend, showering at night is not good for your health, bla bla bla, but I've been doing it for as long as I can remember and I don't really give a shit. Not that I'm worried or anything but this girl I've been seeing on the internet (goddamit I'm such a loser ) made me promise not to take shower at night anymore. And I was like "Hello b****! If I want to shower at night, I'll shower at night!" but of course I did not say it to her coz she is like the closest thing I have to a real girlfriend (i know, pathetic much. i should go kill myself )

ok, so enough with the too-much-information. Tell me, showering at night, is it really that bad?

Alpha A300 and Alpha A350 leaked

With just days to go until PMA, it looks like security's starting to slip a little bit -- a little creative sonystyle.com URL trickery led Beline at the Dyxum forums to images of those Sony A300 and A350 DSLRs we'd heard about. The A300 is an update to the A200, adding in live preview and a flip-out swivel screen, while the A350 looks like it'll be a 14.2 megapixel unit and probably includes live preview and the swivel screen as well. We're hearing that an A900 is also in the works, but that's a just a whisper -- looks like there might be some surprises in store this week after all.

Final Fantasy X: Director's Cut

cocklea — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:54:49 +0800

Ok, I know I am not suppose to open this kind of thread here but I believe that people who have played Final Fantasy X before will appreciate this.

I'm not going to post all, but you guys can check the rest here: http://www.squidoo.com/fansub

Anyway, you remember back when FFX was released, a group ripped the FMV and cutscene from the game and turn it into a movie? Well, do you guys remember Star Wars Episode III: The Backstroke of The West? It is like that, and maybe even better.

Thank you letters

cocklea — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 09:09:36 +0800

Hey guys,

sorry if this question has be asked before, but i was just wondering, when you guys go to interviews, do you send a thank you note/letter afterwards? i've been wondering if i should do it.

some people might think that a thank you note is a desperate attempt to suck up to the interviewer but i think it is just good gesture.

so, what do you guys think? and to you who have interviewed other people in the past, would you like it if you got a thank you note?

Numbers are supposed to be impressive, right? Well, it's been 10 years, two hardware generations, and about seventeen thousand rumors since the last pure number Street Fighter came around. And today we have the first ever official details on Street Fighter IV.

We don't blame you if your eyes have already skipped down to the screenshot lower on the page (yes, that's from the game engine). Take your time. But we've got some information as well, so the rest of this is probably worth reading when you get a chance.

Though the screenshot doesn't answer this question outright, we can confirm that the game's graphics are polygonal but the gameplay is strictly 2D. There will be new moves, locations, and gameplay features, while the standard six button control scheme remains. Ryu and Ken return along with Chun-Li and Dhalsim, but beyond that the character roster is a mystery. And then there's the issue of what platform(s) the game will end up on, which at this point Capcom is keeping close to its chest (if you search 1UP's database, you'll find listings for arcade, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, but those are just guesses based on the graphical quality).

For the full reveal of the game -- including hands-on impressions, a rundown of the new gameplay system, and loads of details on new features -- look for the January 2008 issue of EGM in stores soon and hitting subscribers any day now. And then after you check the issue out, keep your eye on 1UP's Street Fighter IV hub page for ongoing coverage continuing into January.

Anyway, are you still reading this? Didn't you see the screenshot above? Click it and look at the larger version! All your friends are doing it...

Lipo-6 VS Hydroxycut

cocklea — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 14:18:15 +0800

Im thinking bout taking one of this supplement to help me with my fat loss. i went from 44 to 36 in two years and i really need to be able to squeeze into a size 32-34 before October. My high school reunion is in October and i really need to look my best.

Im leaning towards Lipo-6, read some positive reviews about it, winning awards etc and the price is quite right. Hydroxycut, i tried the old formula before (about 3-4 years back i think). It works on me, but because i was a big fat lazy slob back then, i got a refund on all my fat.

i do workout now. weights, deadlift, bench and all that crap. i just want to take the fat burner to kinda speed up the process.

SOUL CALIBUR IV [ 29.7.2008]

WOOTNESS! Not much info yet, but here's a snippet from IGN:

QUOTE(IGN)

]June 13, 2007 - At a press event held yesterday in downtown San Francisco, Namco Bandai Games officially unveiled Soulcalibur IV, the fourth title in its weapons-based fighting series. The only bits of info to come out of the event were via a very short teaser, which you can find on our video page.

The trailer contains little more than glimpses at a few pieces of character art for the likes of Mitsurugi, Ivy and Nightmare. Between shots of environments, the two swords Soul Edge and Soulcalibur and said characters, the follow words appeared:

"Transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold. Soul Edge and Soulcalibur. The story of these two awakened swords and the warriors that have been drawn to them slowly heads towards its inevitable conclusion..."

The teaser than wraps with the logo and the year 2008 blazoned across the screen. PlayStation and Xbox logos appear at the end, signaling that the title will be available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Unfortunately, that was all there was to it. If you want to see if for yourselves, head to our video page below.

since the chance of 360 getting Tekken is pretty slim, i guess we have to make do with the Soul Calibur series, which is mucho awesomeness anyway.
