The new almighty IPAD and PAPER

So being the gadget kiasu master, I've taken the effort to import myself the latest gadget from apple which is the new iPad all the way from Singapore. And so far I'm loving it. Since you can easily find plenty of review by professionals out there and do you really need reviews to tell you how awesome apple and their devices are? Blek! So I'll do a small write up about a gorgeous app just released not long just perfect with the new iPad super highres retina display. This wonderful app is called paper by fiftythree.

People made a big fuss about fiftythree because they are the same people involved in the video of microsofts currier. Which was then a history after the project was killed, for whatever reason? But maybe cause its too advance for our current technology maybe? So the team came out and made an app for iOS. Currently only available on iPad only. And this software is worth every penny if you like drawing or sketching on your iPad!

It's actually free for tryouts. But only the eraser and pen tool is available. After messing around with the pen tools, I quickly downloaded the whole package for only usd7.99 which is not too expensive for something which I been using everyday since its launch day. Okay I may not be the greatest artist but I do enjoy drawing. So I'll upload some drawings here just to let you guys see what you can expect from the app itself. And oh yeah, please have a stylus ready, you'll appreciate the app more with a stylus.

So what you're waiting for? go download it now!

This is the main interface, all drawings are kept in the notebooks. elegent!

My attempt for Starbucks logo! yeah Im a starbucks freak!

Simple writing is beautifully rendered on Paper!

Choose your poison!

I dont know how to comment this, I just thought I should complete the post with a recent picture of myself.

Hello readers, contrary to most suspiscion, I'm not dead, yet! Sigh, the reason that I've not been updating is because I felt that I've lost the motivation to write. So many bad things has happened to me lately, I think I have to see a feng-shui master to channel my bad luck somewhere else!

So I treat myself better by going travelling to many new places. Yeah! I just came back from Taiwan and I might as well just confessed here that I've been having continous epileptic shopaholic seizure! OMG! My credit card microchip has been acting weird (malfunction) due to excessive continous swipes, ugh, its TRUE.

I'll make a short update what has happened since my last update.

1. I'm still so much so single!
2. Sora has grow up much! turning from cute to Handsome!
3. I've gained some muscles! far from what I'm targetting though!
4. Still buying underwears (I've sworn not to buy already this year)
5. Bank Account suffered from a series of earthquakes!
6. Mentally stronger & wiser (hopefully)
7. I have like 20 jackets+sweater+cardigans (half bought from recent Taiwanese trip!)
8. Tons of new face mask, eye mask, more kiehl's, and korean facial products!
9. Got an LV bag, its a macassar keepal (huhuhu~ :P)
10. I'm 50% vainer than before, teehee!

Okay enough words, I know you guys are like me, enjoy looking at pictures more than reading.

A mask a day keeps the pimples away LOL!

What you're looking at??!

Random shots at Ximending, Taipei!

PlayStation VITA

Today I received my HK edition PSVITA in the mail! So far this next generation portable from Sony is only released in Japan and HK, the rest of the world will have to wait till Feb 2012 on the 22nd for the worldwide release, but many anxious gamers including myself has imported from HK or Japan for a 'premium' price, of course. No color choice, all black only, Iphone 4 anyone? and it has the WIFI or WIFI/3G edition, Ipad anyone? looks like Sony is taking cues from Apple for product decisions. And mine is the value pack, which besides the console itself, comes bundle with accessories and uncharted:golden abyss. Accessories includes a glossy screen protector, handy but bulky casing, microfibre cloth (to wipe the touch screen), 4GB vita memory card (this thing is so small) and a case for you to keep the games in). Yea the vita memory card is again proprietory (how typical of sony) and is so tiny that if you sneeze while opening the package, you might not be able to find it again. Comes in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB (sold out at most places). Games are pretty 'japanese' at the moment, of course I buy it for uncharted!

So far I meddle with the interface, its so smooth, if you've played with Ipad2 before, it felt just like that, everything is so natural with the touchscreen. You can flick, swipe and tap just like iOS interface!
Only dissapointment so far is, you cannot transfer videos, music and picture over to the PSVITA if you have Mac PC, only windows supported so far, and its no drag and drop like previously, instead you have to run Sony's software. Maybe to fight piracy is guess?

Okay enough talk, pictures time!

Glossy screen

Me likey, shiny-ness...

Size Comparison with other stuffs... (iphone4 looks small)

Jawbone & IPHONE4s

So todays the launching of Iphone4s in Malaysia, and yesterday some lucky guy already got theirs after queueing up and waited, some just bought it online and awaiting for delivery today! To be honest, I felt like I am missing out here, sigh, blame my overspending habits, and I already made up my choice to pre-order Playstation Vita, so my iPhone4S money is going into the fund there! & personally the only reason I would made the 4S jump is entirely for SIRI, my iphone4 is not lagging, its not giving me major problems, in fact, it has been serving me quite well. SIRI I had a chance to play with it the other day, was impressed by the voice recognition but she is not perfect! A lots of function that made SIRI fun was not available if used in our country, and the problem with voice recognition is, chances that if you are using it in the middle of your dinner or outside walking around in a mall, she is not going to hear you very well, of course it works best if your environment is silent or if you have a good noise cancellation device such as Jawbone bluetooth headset!

I got myself a Jawbone ICON during my transit in the Shuvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok early this month! and it is available locally as well, you just need to know where to find them! & so far I havent heard of jawbone imitation, but I am not surprised if there is anyway. So I've been using it daily now, and I have to say its one of those things where once you start using it, you can't live without it! Before this I had a chance to play with Aliph Jambox for few days (another great product from the same company) , as expected, its a premium product right from the packaging, to the product itself and the application too.

Out of the box you'll get the charger, the headset itself, booklet and earfits with multiple size. These ear fits are very comfortable and can sit in your ears for hours without any pain or discomfort. Before using it, you'll have to pair it with your device, simultaneously you can hook it up to mutiple devices so you can be enjoying music from online streaming audio service on your Ipod touch and then it will automatically answer a phone call when your blackberry rings. An icon will appear if you are an iphone user or  blackberry user indicating its battery life. Buttons of the headset is simple to use, one click to answer, double click to redial the last number. You can also download mytalk app from the official website, where you can customise the voice on the headset or update the device to support voice dial and SIRI as well if you own an iphone4S!

Fashionable?
