み え aka Wendy Chan was one of my bff's sister in law. She's used to be quite close to me when she's back in KL. Celebrated my 19th birthday with me, shisha-ed, lepak, food hunting, camho and all together. She is also one of us, advertlets blogger as well. She blogged @ http://mi33.blogspot.com. Do check out ya. I didn't know that she was sick and hospitalize till Suetmei told me that she was sick and will not have much time more on this earth as she's suffering a lot of problems which I'm not sure what but for all I know that she's not gonna live any longer. Claimed by Suetmei. Thus I was quite worried about it, thought of planning to visit her anytime soon in the early January until yesterday morning, I got an sms from Suetmei saying that Wendy passes away!

I was totally out of words, I don't know what to respond. I was shocked for a moment and realize that I WAS LATE to even say goodbye/talk/see her for one last time. She's one of my closest friend who'd passed away. So far none of my family members, close friend, relative or anyone close pass away and she was my first one apart from my Grandfather which was happened almost 10 over years ago. So this is something rare to me for not able to see her anymore.

This was sometime back ago the pictures taken together :)




Guess what, after not seeing her for so long. She was busy working in SG, traveling around the world. And look what happened to her?



This was taken in PARIS. Look, she's so super slim already. You can compare with pictures above. I cannot believe it, even she's underweight and seriously, I prefer the old her. Even I don't have the determination to do that. I don't know whether this transformation that made her unwell, im not sure. I will seek for more details about her death.

Stated that Wendy has completed her task on earth, she is in GOD's hand now. She will be at Batu Gantung, behind Penang Turf Club until 8th Jan 2011 11am. Unfortunately I have to organize an event here in KL which is the Advertlets laser tag outing, I must be there and I can't make it to her funeral. It's happening at the same date, same time start & end. Oh nos!

To Bryan, her husband. I'm so sorry bro for your lost. my deepest condolence. I know it's hard for you to accept it but stay strong bro.

Final Note : Although she won't be seeing this, but I still needa tell her this.

Thanks you Wendy Jie for being such an amazing friend to me since the day I know you. Thanks for everything especially being our "Guru Besar" for the Mag7 of all ur young ones; Suetmei, Vivian, Serra, Elaine, Xiowei, Haithal, Joshua and Myself. It's really a sudden lost to me. It's very hard to accept and believe that this is happening. What more can I say? May you rest in peace and I will never ever forget you. You will always be in my heart, Our heart. Thanks for being my friend. Rest In Peace - Wendy Chan.

Life is short. So cherish the loved ones around u before it's too late.

Love,
Jason and family. With all Mag7, Advertlets, Friends.

#Maxis 10 Thankyou Note - HTC Desire Z

As many of you know, I was given the opportunity by Maxis 10 and HTC to review the HTC Desire Z. I was lucky and blessed enough to be given a chance like this and I have enjoyed participating in this review. Not only have I been given the opportunity to try out something that is new in the market but I have also been given the chance to experience something new altogether.


It has been an absolute delight to learn more about this phone and after using it for this period of time, I find that I really do enjoy using this phone a lot more compared to others. Compare to the one im using right now, Blackberry Curve 3G. As some of you knew that I've totally gave up my Curve and switch to the HTC Desire Z, it has so many features which makes life so much easier for me and I have become attached to it. Seriously.


Therefore, I would really like to express my thanks and gratitude to #Maxis10 for giving me this opportunity. Thanks a lot! Chances like this do not come by often and I am grateful for having been one of the chosen few to review the HTC Desire Z.

HTC Desire Z ROCKS MY SOCKS!

This ends my review for #Maxis 10 Reviewers Programme - HTC Desire Z

#Maxis 10 - HTC SENSE On The HTC Desire Z


HTC SENSE is an entirely unique experience and its design revolves around many little ideas to bring you an experience that you will never forget. What makes it so unique is the simplicity of it all. It makes you wonder why nobody else has taught of it before. With HTC SENSE, everything makes sense. It's a phone experience that you will never forget for it continues to surprise you and guarantees to delight you every single time.

These are just a few of my favourite things about HTC SENSE.

*when it rings..

- No More Awkward Moments
Many of us are faced quite often with that awkward moment when your phone starts to ring during a movie or a meeting. For me, this happens fairly often and I haven't kicked the habit of forgetting to silence it when there is a need to. But with the HTC SENSE, you can avoid embarrassing yourself because the moment you pick up the phone to see who is calling, the ringing volume will decrease instantly. If you want to silence it, just flip it over and it will silence immediately thus saving you from an awkward moment.

- No More Missed Calls
Another problem that I face on a daily basis is not hearing my phone whenever it rings if it is kept somewhere in my bag or if I am in a noisy area. But this problem is solved now with HTC SENSE as the phone knows when it is tucked away and will ring loud enough for you to hear and capture your attention. So now I can avoid missing any important calls just because I am too deaf to hear my phone ringing.

- An Icebreaker For Your Calls
Sometimes, we get a call from a certain person but we just do not have much to say to them be it because we haven't seen them in ages or your mind is just blank at the moment. But now, HTC SENSE allows you to see the caller's latest social updates so you will the have so much to say even before the conversation starts. Personally, I really like this feature as it helps to keep me updated with my friends life as well.


*keeping in touch with friends..

- No More Jumping Between Apps To Keep Up With Friends
I dislike having to constantly switch between applications to check out a certain update from someone. It is especially annoying when that person has Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare.. just about every social application there is. But HTC SENSE makes it all less annoying now because they have a feature where you just tap on a friend's name and all their details will appear together. So, now I can check out my friend's Facebook updates, Twitter updates, contact details etc all in one go. It makes life so much easier.

- Say It Once Post It Everywhere
As a blogger, I constantly have to update almost every social platform that I have individually whenever I have something to announce. It is quite annoying and sometimes I forget if I have already updated that particular application or platform. HTC SENSE once again makes it easier by updating ALL my applications and social platforms in one go for me.


*the Internet..

- It's A Perfect Fit
The problem I always have with zooming in or out of a screen is that the text doesn't always fit on my screen. I will then have to scroll left and right continuously to read something. HTC SENSE has solved this problem for me as it makes the text all fit perfectly regardless of how much I zoom in or out of the screen.


*when you're on the road..

-Use Maps That Never Keep You Waiting
One thing about using maps on the phone is that they take time to load. Having to constantly see little grey areas can sometimes be quite infuriating especially when I am in a rush. HTC SENSE does not make you wait though. There is zero waiting time as the maps are already loaded right on your phone. This cuts down my waiting time and makes everything so much faster.

- Never Miss A Turn Because Of A Call
Usually while using maps on phones, the map will vanish whenever a call comes in. This obviously makes things much harder for me when I'm driving. There are times when I need the map and I need to use the phone at the same time to talk to someone. And HTC SENSE allows me to do just that. It allows me to still use my map though I am on the phone. This way, I never ever miss a single turning just because the map on my screen vanished.


These are just a few of the many things that HTC SENSE can do for you. As you can see, it does make life a lot easier in the simplest of ways. It kind of makes you wonder why it took so long for anyone to come up with this. But now that HTC SENSE is available, I'm loving all the little things it does for me and it definitely is one of the many perks of using the HTC Desire Z. It has so many uses and I guarantee that it will make everything so much more fun and easy for all of you and not just me ;)

That's all for now. To be continued. This is #Maxis 10 Reviewers Programme - HTC Desire Z

#Maxis 10 - HTC Desire Z Camera & Video Function for Japanese Restaurant Nagomi Food Review

Last week, got an invitation to a Food Review @ a Japanese Restaurant called Nagomi. Located at Jaya33, Petaling Jaya. Anyway, this would be a combination post of Nagomi Food Review + #Maxis 10 - HTC Desire Z :) Something new, this is because I wanted to test the camera function of the HTC Desire Z. So throughout the whole night, I totally used my Desire Z to take pictures of closeups foods shots!



For the Camera part for the HTC Desire Z.

The exiting part for me is the camera/video function on the HTC Desire Z. All of you know that Imma photographer who uses Nikon D300s. So I'm quite fussy about cameras which does not perform the standard as it suppose to be. Let's have a quick look on HTC Desire Z camera function.

The HTC has a decent 5-megapixel autofocus camera with flash which despite having less pixels than the Desire HD’s 8-megapixels. The results are quite good especially under good lighting conditions YES but more often, it’s prone to blurring even with steady hands when taking the shot. Like seriously. Focusing is not lightning quick and I would recommend using the on-screen shutter button instead of the dedicated camera button to reduce shake.

Photo enthusiasts will appreciate a solid shutter, alongside a virtual one. Autofocus is quick (and you can tap to focus) but there’s slight lag between depressing the shutter and the photo being taken, it’s not terrible by any means, but certainly not fantastic for fast-moving action.

Photos are fine, without being fantastic. Colors are bright, detail is sharp, especially close-ups, you can make tweaks to the sharpness, contrast, exposure and saturation. Like the Desire HD we found Auto white balance produces the most accurate results, Daylight looks unnatural. Be careful using the ISO settings, noise is really visible around ISO 400 and ISO 800 is practically unusable. The single - instead of dual - flash is surprisingly powerful, so the Desire Z will easily illuminate a small room.



What I like about its camera is the different effects you can choose prior to taking a shot and also the post-processing effects. You can take a shot with live effects such as depth of field, vignette, distortion, vintage, etc.

Here's the end product. Some photos below are taken using the Desire Z. With flash and without flash.


(Above) Not bad for a point and shoot camera. At least it's better than my Blackberry Curve 3G.

(Below) Close up macro shots I took from a food review at Nagomi Japanese Restaurant. Below photos are expended to the height of 720P. Motive is to see the true quality of the camera function.

Group shot turned out not really nice likewise as the FOOD! I rate a fair 6/10. Not much a review yet but will soon do a proper one as this is for my - #Maxis 10 - HTC Desire Z Camera & Video Function for Nagomi Food Review Post.

As you can see (Above) it's quite blur. This was taken without flash. Instead all the photos are taken without flash and a lil editing. :)

Available outlets for Nagomi Japanese Restaurants:

Kin Shui Tei Japanese Fine Dining@Tropicana Golf & Country Resort
03-7804 2079/ 03-7804 8888 ext 315

Nagomi Japanese Restaurant @ Jaya33
03-7956 2330

Nagomi Japanese Restaurant @ Menara Hap Seng
03-2141 6332

Close up objects shots with a perfect amount of light, the pictures would turned out very nice. But, all the shots are not advisable to take with flash as I don't really believe in direct flash. Only uses it when I'm desperate for light. Eg. in CLUBS and super dark places.


This was taken using Vintage mode! December birthday babes Vivian and Samantha. Instant iPhone4 Instagram lol. Damn nice right?

For the video part for the HTC Desire Z.
720p footage isn’t fantastic. Although it’s smooth and bright, detail seems soft and lacking definition, for example in one test shot leaves on a tree appear so soft they tend to blur into each other and in another you can’t see the fine detail on brickwall on a house. So if 720p video is your choice, we’d suggest the iPhone 4 or Samsung Galaxy S instead :)

I will show you some video on my NEXT POST!
