Nexus 4 vs Galaxy Note II

So I have been using my Nexus S for almost exactly 2 years now.
Back in December 2010 I purchased for myself the Google Nexus S, my first smartphone/ touchscreen phone.
After 2 years of stock gingerbread, ICS and finally Jellybean, Google has called it quits for the Android updates for my device. Heck, I've had a few problems with the phone (slow, battery issues, capacitive buttons). Figured it's now a good time to upgrade my phone.

I've set my eyes on the next gen Nexus device from Google-the Nexus 4.
Though it interests me, there's a few of flaws of the device when it was released.

• Same capacity as my current phone (16GB)
• Lack of bundled headset (my Nexus S headset is half ruined)
• Fragile glass back (haven't anyone learned from Apple's iPhone?!)
• Generally the same UI as my Nexus S just that it has a bigger screen, and will get future OTA updates first from Google (though what can Google add to this device?)
• Lack of bundled wireless charger

As compared to the Galaxy Note II which has almost the same specs,

• Bigger screen
• More productive with the S-pen
• It has the S pen
• It has a more user friendly interface
• Better processor (by 0.1 GHz)
• AMOLED screen
• microSD card slot for expendable storage
• FM radio

A few down sides I can think of,

• It's huge
• It feels plasticky 
• It's using Samsung's TouchWiz
• Won't get Google Android updates  immediately like the Nexus 4

Though if I do get the Galaxy Note II and not really like it, I can still pass it over to my younger sister who can probably make more use out of the artistic S pen. 

Decisions decisions.....  

So much from just a bronze medal

Congrats to Pandelela Rinong for gaining the bronze in the 2012 Olympics.
....BUT, what's with all these 'REWARDS' going out to her.
Yea, she's our first female and medal winner outside badminton but from the looks of it, she's getting too much attention and rewards compared to Chong Wei who won the Silver.
It's been over 3-4 months since the Olympics and people are still showering her with money, cars, sponsorships, etc.
She's 19 Years of age, there's a lot more that she can improve in her game for the future rather than spoiling her with gifts and rewards.
Take it easy with the gifts so that it will not get the better of her. A reward is something to motivate her to do better in the next competition but if everyone from every corner keeps giving her rewards like she's getting now, it seems as if she won the gold medal. Let her grow and if she does get the gold next time, she deserves it.

Eat until lao sai

Literally ate too much from a Japanese buffet..
From 8-10pm, went home to sleep at 11:30pm, woke up at 1am to lao sai....

There's a first time for everything...

First world problems, third world success.

Aunty, you called the wrong number

Some auntie called my number 
Aunty : Hi is this Cathay?
Me: No it's not, you got the wrong number
Aunty : May I speak to Cathay please?
Me : There's no Cathay here, you got the wrong number
Aunty : Who's number is this then?
Me thinking *Why the heck do you want to know??*
Me: This is MY number. You called the wrong number.
Aunty : This is not Cathays number?
Me : No, you called the wrong number
*Then aunty hung up*
..... How many times must I tell you "WRONG NUMBER" before you understand???

Saddest Story ever.... T_T

Supporting the player or supporting the rewards?

The whole of Malaysia turned their eyes to the TV and news hoping for glory of our badminton ace, Datuk Lee Chong Wei. The whole Malaysia was united and rooting for him hoping to bring gold....
But it seems to me that most of them have ulterior motives,

• Public Holiday
• Free scoop of Baskin Robins Ice Cream
• Free nasi kandar meals,etc.

Facebook statuses calling for LCW to win to get public holidays and ice cream rather than the gold medal Malaysia's been yearning for. Seriously my fellow Malaysians... 

Gold Medal > Public Holidays > Free Premium Ice Cream

"You've never had dates before?!"

So me and my friends were at an Italian restaurant and it was just after the Muslims break fast (about 8pm?) and they were serving dates as appetizers. I personally have never tried (or remember trying) dates before.

Funny thing was that I started announcing that I have not tried dates before which led to the response,

"YOU'VE NEVER HAD DATES BEFORE?!"

The first thing that came to mind was the forever alone meme...
Then came the part where I actually eat the dates, awkward moment as my friends started staring at me as I started biting pieces off it along with my expression on how sweet and unique the taste of the dates were.

Well... now that I have finally tried it, I doubt I'll be eating another one anytime soon. Does not suit my tastes.

Bonus awkward moment :
Waiter brought a canned drink and offered to pour it. My friend gladly accepted the offer and we all stared silently at the waiter pouring the canned drink slowly into the glass. He stopped halfway and mentioned how weird it was for all of us being so fascinated at someone pouring a drink into a glass.
