The day I said YES..


I have an announcement to make..

I have successfully been converted to YES!

Hahahahahaha bet you guys thought I said yes to something else..

My friends know that I NEED the Internet and I need access to the internet all the time. Even in the car when going back to hometown, I’m on the laptop with my YES  dongle. Car rides have never been so fulfilling.

Anyway, you guys should get i! I like it because it’s Pay as You Go, so you only pay for what you used. It is the cheapest too. Also, the obvious reason, it is at least 3 times faster. I am the last person to like a page that loads for ages. I will just click X if t doesn’t load fast and then move on with my life. So yes, no, I’m always in good mood for that reason too.

There are other benefits too...can make calls from PC, can sms at the same time using same number on a  phone with the 018 number. You have to google if you want to know more!

Oh ! And this is a silly reason to like the YES dongle, but I love how it bends!
 
 

 

 

Autom.The.Talking.Robot (Robotic tone)


A new invention from an MIT graduate. Autom

A robot to interact with its owner in order to help him or her lose weight. The dieter will key in important information like weight, exercise regime, diet and goals and the Autom encourages the dieter to not give up and even gives feedback. Kinda like a food diary, but an actual robot to tell you off when you eat.

There was a trial and they found that people who used Autom stuck with the diet regiment longer than the people who just recorded on a piece of paper.


===========================================================================

Kudos to the inventor for being incredibly intelligent to create a talking robot.

But my god. A device for telling me I’m fat and should stop eating? Sad...10 bucks says I’m going to turn it off. Or smash it like my previous alarm clock. May it rest in peace.

Seriously, can you imagine, happily unwarapping a Toblerone chocolate and suddenly, “What.Do.You.Think.You’re.Doing?Put.That.Down,” in some robotic tone.

And worse if it could roll itself towards me!. I won’t be able to sleep at night with Autom.
 
Yeah,cute and all with doe-like eyes. But come on, we’ve all seen Chucky, right?
 
Hahahahahaha! Opssssss sorry to scared you. For me, the most important thing is work life balance, eat healthy meal, exercise at least 3 times a week. But can I have a slice of cheesecake on my PMS day pretty please?

Masterchef on me


People close to me know that I loves to cook and trying out on new resipe . I don’t like to cook in a hurry or when I’m hungry, or worse, when I’m hungry and in a hurry. It can be so stressing. And when I turned into Incredible Hulk, I cannot focus on my cooking. And when I cannot focus on my cooking, my dishes turned out salty, what supposed to be soft and fluffy turned out rock hard, fingers sliced, plates crashed, burnt tea towels. It’s a mayhem! Ok fine, the last two did not happen but still, it could.

I find the easiest thing to cook when I’m in hurry/hungry situation is....SANDWICH. Can I call myself the Sandwich Queen? Coz I love sandwich and I love to make them. I could eat them everyday. I could make them everyday. And on my lazy day, I will only prepare sandwich for my meal. Smoked salmon, tuna, egg, cheese,mushroom and zucchini, chicken slice, you name it, I will prepared it within a minutes (with the stocks in fridge of course).

But on not so lucky day, I forgot to stock my main ingredients for my sandwich, which is the bread. I am damn hungry at that moment and start blogwalking to cooking blog and wipe my saliva on the screen.

And I saw this..

OMG! Its so superb! I never heard of bread maker and I never tought that I can homemade the bread. Its so simple to use. Just put all the ingredients in the bread maker before going to sleep and tadaaaaaa the bread is ready when I woke up in the morning. And I can make my favourate mushroom and zucchuni sandwhich straight away while sipping my hot chocolate. No issue if I forgot to stock up bread. Dreaming is free right?
My jaw dropped when saw this..

I already have a list to do when I see this colourful Kitchen Aid mixer. Pavlova, cheese cake, blueberry cake, devil choc cake and the list goes on. Pink one please for this almost 30yo lady?
 
And when I saw the price, my jaw dropped! Anyone wanna give that as my early birthday present? *wink wink*
 
 

To class or not?


Last week, my friends whatsapp-ed me these.
I asked her what is that? She said that is the exam notification on her CPA and she told me that she is now taking CPA, which is shortform of Certified Public Accountant.  I google-ed about that and found this:
Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is the statutory title of qualified accountants in the United States who have passed the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination and have met additional state education and experience requirements for certification as a CPA. Individuals who have passed the Exam but have not either accomplished the required on-the-job experience or have previously met it but in the meantime have lapsed their continuing professional education are, in many states, permitted the designation "CPA Inactive" or an equivalent phrase. In most U.S. states, only CPAs who are licensed are able to provide to the public attestation (including auditing) opinions on financial statements. The exceptions to this rule are Arizona, Kansas, North Carolina and Ohio where, although the "CPA" designation is restricted, the practice of auditing is not.

I also found out from my friend that if you enroll for CFA, there will be no class at all. They will gave you the module and you have to read at your own. My friend also informed that there is a forum to discuss on the subject and whatnot.
I know that IT have changed our education drastically! I cannot imagine if I at her situation. I mean, not going to class at all? No lecturer to ask question even a silly question? And no classmate to discuss about the subject during lunch hour or even going to karaoke after class to release our stress? And to who I will ask for any candy when am sleepy during the class? On a positive side, she no need to drive to class, can save money on petrol. And the best part is she can have her “own class”  with her pyjama on and sipping the coffee at the most cosy place, at her own house.  By then, I also cannot imagine if during the forum no one will assist me, or maybe the forum will make me more confused! Me, on the other hand, have to wake up early in the morning, dress  up nicely and sacrificed my weekends.
In the end, it all depends on ourselves, to take our own initiative to success in the exam. With class or not, with classmates or not, we still can succeed, and of course with Allah’s bless. Best of luck to my friend and also my classmate!
 

I feel myself merging with my computer

Soon, every aspect of our lives will be completely controllable at the touch of a computer keyboard. You just need t know the command.

Human will shortly start to merge with computers, I once read somewhere, US technology guru named Ray Kurzweil say. What’s he talking about? He says that this process will accelerate to a point where we will become non-biological entities living in alternate realities over which we will have full computer control.   

I admit that I quite like this idea. When all this human-computer bonding finally happens, I plan to request a keyboard built into my left forearm. Here’s how I imagine it working:

Misplaced my blackberry or home keys? Clicked control F and type the name of it. While walking to my wardrobe and discovered that my clothes are out of date? Enable Automatic Update to keep my wardrobe renewed regularly.

Annoying person at class? Go to Control Panel and click the Remove Tab. Scroll down and Uninstall all the people I don’t like. 

What if I have life’s big question? The F1 button also known as Help, will be very useful. I can use it for small things such as doing my MIS 750 assignments.

Stress and feel that life is getting all too much for me? I will press Escape. Scroll to the start button and find the menu item says Hibernate. Everything will stop as long as I like. And when I’m ready, I will just press Restart to make it return to exectly where I were.

And if I mess up my whole life? Press Control-Alternate-Delete to go back to the beginning and be born again.
 
 
 
Now it’s time for me to end my entry, as we computer people like to say, Shut Down.
As if the life easy like that. Pffffff
