Unofficial iPhone4 in Malaysia

I have to admit when it comes to making fast money, Malaysian can have 100 and one ways to get it. Like before Hollywood release any blockbuster movie, we here can actually get a copy if you don't mind the quality lah.

Ok back to iphone4. Was wondering in LowYat today and found this section hidden behind from the usual crowd, iphone4 in new boxes. It is SIM locked and will be available latest by next week. I assume by then they would have the software to unlock it.

16Gb is going for Rm 3288 (US$1025)
32Gb is going for Rm4288 US$1337)

My first offroading and camping after missing from the scene about 2 years. This time I hitch a ride from uthaya and later from VQ in his Land cruiser. It was a long drive from Karak to Felda Mayam in Pahang. Close to Tasik Chini in Bera.

We got some confusion with the entry point as there is no road indicated from our GPS. But with their experience and asking the locals somehow they manage to find the right track.

I would classify this track as moderate track with several rutty spots. The guys use lot of winching which I don't think there is a need. Maybe they just wanna try out the China made winches hahaha.

Terapai waterfall as it is known. Beautiful and elegant. The campsite is clean by our Malaysian standrard. We were the only group camping during that time.
The fall is easily 30 feet up. Below is a deep pool.

What I enjoyed much from this trip is the chit chat session during the night with some drink. Uncle Seng the main spoke person that night.

A reminder for all working parents

Came across this wonderful story in one of my favourite blogs. Happy reading!

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'
DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man
SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.
SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'
SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.' The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. 'Are you asleep, son?' He asked. 'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy. 'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.' The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' he yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father. 'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled. 'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.

'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.' The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love. If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

What do I think?
The display, superb. The keyboard and magic mouse slick design and wireless.

Now this is where I don't like it. Both have to be powered by batteries. I didn't like it when I had my Microsoft wireless keyboard
and mouse. Changing batteries - pain in the ass.
They keyboard does not have optional USB cable.


Add Rm599 for Apple care Protection Plan.
