I was labelled techie by 1 of my friend because of the ipod touch I bought 5 days ago. 
I have to politely disagree coz I am not = / If I am I would grab it when it first came out. I was already eyeing on ipod touch ever since iphone first came out. I did my own research what it can do, etc. Especially when iphone SDK came out. I even use rapidshare *cough* to download the paid developer package and want to develop for it (even though I do not have it, yet. ha)
The last straw for me to want to get one is coz I seriously need to listen to music while I am outside. Recently my emotion fluctuate too much. However dun worry too much, I have very good self-control. Music just make me happier all the time and stop me from thinking too much =D Then i look thru apple site, I actually jus wanted to get ipod nano just for the purpose of listening to songs, but den when I check apple again, I was once again ‘WOW’ by the touch ‘AWESOMENESS’ so i bought the refurbished ipod touch (save $170), which was in absolute perfect condition.
Here’s the part which show I am abit techie. Within the 2 hours of playing around with touch and getting bored with it, I hacked(jailbreak) it. Please… jailbreaking isn’t illegal~! For those who are concerned. When you bought a ipod touch from the store, it is officially yours, you can do whatever to it. hack it, mod it… you won’t get into any trouble. They didn’t let u sign a form whereby you will be charged if you mod your toy. Apple just wan to make u think it is illegal because they are such control freak (won’t let u modify by your own). Notice they use words like ‘not recommended’ But for those who wan to send to Apple Care, that’s a different story. The only agreement is that if you mod it, you void your warrenty (that’s true). So whenever Apple offer me Apple Care, I will jus ignore it.
2nd day, I openSHH to break to access files inside.
3rd day, I have tried over 50 apps and deleted 1/2 of them leaving 20 which I think is the most useful. Justin suggested intelliscreen but after testing it. I found it is not memory and battery friendly so I delete it. Not that it is bad, but I just wan to optimize my whole system.
4th day, I tried to setup VNC connection between my Mac and touch so I can remotely control Mac with touch. After 1 whole day of trying… it realize my router dun support UPnP so I wasted 1 whole of trying.
5th day, I used up 5GB plus of memory already(2.9GB of songs). So luckily I never opted for the 8GB option. iPod Touch reallie have the potential to do alot more rather than just using it as mp3.
So thats all folk~! I love my touchie =D ha

Earlier, I was talking about designing for my mom and dad wedding anniversary card. Here it is. The time now is 5:20am so I will make it snappy. Will be another busy day tml =____=”
A letter and a… thing, i made XD
Closer look, you will see all the alphabet is pop-up and there is flower made of cut-out and rolled-paper.
Anywhere, Im reluctant to say what it previously n only saying it as a ‘thing’ becoz i will show you now what it is…. its a pencil holder 
haha
Basically, most design is out to solve a problem. Be it Steve Jobs want to sell more mac thus making more beautifully-designed macs… Website designed to give visitor a good impression or… in my case, My home’s computer is out of ink. No choice… Just have to use hand-drawn stuff and some handicraft. Didn’t know non-computer-designed stuff also can look so cool haha… self praise
So, Ciao. good nite. miss me. cya guys around *yawn*

Let’s see… yah. I just shot tis pic while i was doing framing for my church yearbook picture. Thought some people might be interested in my… my… handsome picture XD (THICK-SKIN SELF PROMO ALERT).
Btw, I was wrong about the church yearbook design deadline. Some of you might have noticed I getting so stress up in school and ignoring most people. Man! I wasn’t giving anyone attitude. Im jus too tired. And I never sleep from Sunday to Wednesday(Only a few hours nap from time to time). Today, I reckon that I will not sleep again. Too much things to do. Blog, supper, design my mom n dad’s 23th anniversary card and finishing up all my church design!
Talking about design… I really felt that I’ve once again acquire the passion of design. All thanks to my SIP and my supervisor, Wayne, who kept giving me design stuff to do. I was a bit reluctant at first but after my 3 mths SIP, I realize my design is better =D
And I begin to realize and see into design around me. Every living thing is a work of design of God which I think is beautiful. The design world just suddenly start to fancinate me once again. All the small details and little touches of designer that make simple everyday things interesting. Every design element is there for a reason.
Recently, I was checking out the new MacBook which I think is beautiful. Steve Job’s lackey (haha) pointed out that the new Macbook is simple and stylish and they eliminate everything they feel shouldn’t be there. Every elements that remains is there for a reason.
I wholehearted agree with this statement. That’s good design. You shouldn’t plunk everything inside just because you like it. They must be there for a reason. Now I start to appreciate Art, appreciate creation of God, appreciate good Design…
… but… shit happens. Designer is just human. Designer make mistake. Jus look at this Nokia N78 advertisement that was pasted on Chinatown MRT.
So… spot the mistake? Maybe you can’t see it well… blame my bad phone camera…. nooo… blame my own camera skill (mus take responsible n not jus solely blame external stuff ;D)
It read there… 0:52s(where the music is at) and 1:58s(total length of the music) so the bar should be in the middle instead of 1/3 way thru it. Did you get it? I think the designer thought that 1 minute has 100 seconds. So, 52s of 158s is about 1/3 of the bar. But remember what you study in primary school? 1 min has only 60 seconds, that mean 1:58s only has 108s!! so the ratio is about 1/2!!!
I just pissed off that the designer missed up this simple details… Even when I was at Convertium, my design go thru a whole series of checking and mistakes that I wasn’t able to spot is spotted. Why did nobody spot this before it was printed =(
That’s my rant for today. Off to design =D

Stressed and shocked all in a day.
Its being the third night I have not sleep well… (first day never sleep at all, 2nd and 3rd sleep at 5 plus) Using coffee and music to numb my tiredness and stressfulness… sometime I suddenly feel im very stressful… which I found out its because my music stop. All the feeling came back when there’s no music as distraction =P Yes, Im blasting music now… Fast n Furious: Tokyo Drift… all in Japanese. Mindless n senseless noise =D
That’s the stressed part. As for shocked part. Today … out of curiosity how my totally-automated-and-ignored Internet business and wondered who was it doing. Look what I’ve found out
Today was a highest record of $124.60! I had time where I have multiple consecutive days of $99 but $124 till now is the highest ever since the time I overcome my obsession of money. The $0 for friday is due to me not paying my Adwords bill and Google totally shut down my operation for a whole day =(
Tuesday-tuesday… 1 week. Let’s see. About $370 (0.0)”’
Then again, its made from 1 campaign. Im storing all the $$ into my bank. I seldom draw money from the atm (yes, I still get weekly pocket from dad)… and jus spend what i have on hand. I wan to setup business in the future, so i am storing capitals now, that’s how serious I am ^_^)
So anyone who want to do biz next time, you know who to find
Busy busy busy… Just installed Adobe CS4 Design Premium (Indesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat 9 pro, etc) Now rushing church design(and did I mention I am in charge of collecting offerings tml =_=”), so I will blog again most probably after this comming Wednesday.
No time to rebuke girl’s comment as well. Haiz… *shake head*
maybe say abit ba, and its most probably the same response, how can you know what someone else think… Everyone has their own thinking. I used to believe in the 1 source belief as well… and even to the extreme of some ‘evil’ belief. Im not going to elaborate on it. Jus a word of advice, go research and dig in further. I can say i believe a rock/mountain has earth spirit or even believe moon got Chang’er. People used to (even now) believe Chang’er on moon but science jus prove it wrong.
You may say God can’t be proven by science but dig in more n do research. In the end, alot of scientist n “high-level” ended out not being able(even if dey really want to) to disapprove the existence. Im not saying Im high-level or anything… and im still learning n researching. I dun want to continue or this will end up being a religious blog. Juz go research >_<''
Anyway, Im lagging behind my blog post. I still have not put up
1) Me and Jinnie jie jie movie day,
2) Supervisor treating me dinner day, and…
3)Last Day of Internship
Well, posting pictures in blogger isn’t something ez. but in less that an hour, I posted all my “Last Day of Internship” photos in facebook. If you want to see it. Click the below picture.

I was just talking with my friend just now and comment about my recent blog post. She say something like… “if you think those feeling is only 2-3% of you, why don’t you just show others your 98% of yourself?” I was like… “right but… that would… that would… ” i was speechless. I just want to tell others some secrets, some sensitive issue I would nber tok about in reality. But whatever I say on my post won’t really much affect the Samuel in real life.
So, now… ban. Ban emo emo post. Ha-ha. Well… anyway, I will change blog soon. After internship n church yearbook design, I will revamp my 5amuelchan.com website =D and add at least 2 new wordpress blog
So watch out….
