Super LAGgera Rokr E8

This is a Superleggera.















The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. Its sleek, superlight and and thus super fast.


This is my Super LAGgera. My Motorola Rokr E8. And its super SLOW.












Ya, it looks cool. Super cool. The Modeshift, the cool black mirrorlike surface.

The music playback is nice and powerful.












Okay, I can tolerate that the phone cannot simultaneous vibrate when ringing. I can tolerate the silly camera. I can even tolerate that I cant lay it flat because the speaker is on the hind of the phone - if I lay it flat, I would not be able to hear it ringing.

But now a flaw is making this phone no longer viable. The Super LAG. Everything is slow with this phone. I dont know whether its the Moto program or lack of memory (but I am only using around 15% of the phone's 2GB internal memory.

Man, I have tried and tried and tried. If you call me, it will takes more than 15 seconds later before my E8 rings. And it seems that, outgoing calls only rings for 20 seconds, and then the call will automatically ends.



Meaning I have around 5 seconds from when I heard the ringing, take it out of my pocket, and press the answer button. Most of the time, I only knew of an incoming call when the missed calls are on the screen. Meaning I will have to call back. Meaning my phone credit to answer your call.



Will be in the market for a new phone.

13 Sept 09 : Seems that the lag is due to the slow Phone internal memory. If I move the ringtone to the add-on memory, no such problem.

Revenge of The Conned

Its only in August and I have already concluded whats the worst movie in 2009.

Transformer, Revenge of the Fallen.


I already felt the first movie is bad. Although some transforming sences are cool. (This is a movie call Transformer after all). The robot designs are so 'insecty'. Except for Prime, the rest of the metallic casts looks like bugs from hell. What the hell with Megatrons's bad teeth anyway? Then the Sam whines and whines and whines. Megan Fox should gives bitch slap him again and again. Maybe no, he does not even qualify to stand near Megan.


Whats wrong with ROTF?...Besides the obvious stupid storyline, lousy script, the followings..

1. Removing the transformer from the title, this is just a movie about some alien invasion. Nano tech and bio metallics? I dont wanna see that. I wanna see transforming... in slow motion. Super super slow mo. The constructicons combining to Devastator is a real con act. That is not combining, thats merging. I will not be so 'tulan' if they rename the movie 'Alien Robot Invasion : Revenge of The Fallen'.

2. The robot designs are again a real disappointment. If they dont look like insects, they looks like trolls. The twins, Mudflap and Skids could easily fits into the cast of Harry Potter or LOTR if they are smaller. The only head design that I like is Optimus's.

3. Its not enough that the humans are whinny. Now even the transformers are too. The twins talks like they are high on caffein. Jetfire sounds like he is a speed talker instead of the legendary oldtimer. Megatron talks non stop. So is that tiny Decepticons that wanna operates Sam's head. And Soundwave never talk (his voice is the coolest in the G1 cartoon).

4. The Transformers dying and being revive. No wonder the transformer wars last millineums. How come nobody wanna revive Jazz from the first movie. Cause he sounds 'black' :)

5. Jetfire. How can they ever come up with the design for his robot form. He transform into a SR71 Blackbird leh.... the coolest plane ever. Then at robot form...with the funny facial hair....err steel, and a walking stick. If you wanna talk old, the Fallen should be older by miles, how come he is still so 'sharp'. Better maintenance hor.

6. Those mini Decepticons which came alive at the Witwicky's residence. Reminded me of Gremlins and the robot helpers from Aces Go Places II.

7. A GM (Sideswipe) destroying an Audi R8 (in the beginning of the movie in China). That one borders on the ultimate fantasy already. Really really cannot accept lo.


Maybe I was wrong to have such high expectaion. But thank god there is Megan Fox.



Btw, I highly recommend 'Departure', the japanese movie. Made me cried.. in agood way, more than once. Damn good movie.
