iPod Shuffle






Yay! I bought an iPod Shuffle 1Gb at RM147.

Machines were giving out 50 units of iPod Shuffle 1Gb to first 50 customers yesterday on the 18th of August. They advertised on the day before in the Star Newspaper. Being a very much "kiasu", I was quite determined that I wanna get it yesterday.

I woke at 5! Got ready and rushed over to the Kelana Jaya LRT station to take the earliest train to KLCC. There were no cars on the road and it felt very chilly in the morning. How i wish Malaysia is not so hot. Haha! Anyway, I reached KLCC at around 7 and quickly rushed up to Machines in the 3rd Floor to see that there were no one there at all. I was the only one there.

After 5-10 minutes, a group of 4 and 3 came. Unfriendly group of people, so I stood there in front of the shop waiting for them to open at 10. 3 hours till I can get the iPod shuffle. I didnt bring any water or food at that time and wasn't very willing to let people take my place because machines only gives out 10 units each session.

After waiting a gruelling 3 hours, no food and water and only one trip to the toilet ( I asked a guy I met there Shawn to "chup" the place for me), I've got my first Apple product, iPod shuffle 1gb and I was the first to get it! Behind me, there were 70-80 people lining up creating a big commotion. First time being so crazy, ahaha...

Tailgate-ers!

According to "Undang" when we first start to learn how to drive, we should distance our car from the car in front about one car's length. And, we all know that if let's say (touch wood ok?) somebody hits your car from the back, it's his or her fault! Then you have to report police la.. this and that.. and make a big commotion out of it..

TAILGATE-ers......are drivers who just likes to see the bumper of the car in front on close range.. or they like to smell exhaust smoke...

But still, I'm amazed by drivers who tailgate other cars by just inches from bumper to bumper. No kidding man.. I've seen it before! I'm truly amazed by the tremendous courage and skills of the drivers cause they don't fear death! I hope they can channel their skills and time into other more useful things. I really wonder, have they thought that if the car in front brakes suddenly he would "confirm" crash onto the car infront? Maybe it's the thrill of chasing or dogfighting.. when somebody drives away from you and to prove that you're as fast, you chase him down or overtake him, to show him or her that, you're just too slow....

Actually, after doing much research (not that I tailgate cars to find out okay..), this might be of help if you want to learn how to tailgate:-
1) Just think that the car infront won't stop suddenly..
2) Try to observe the car infront of the car you're chasing, once that car flashes its brake lights, start braking!
3) Don't always brake even the car infront flashes its brakes light..
4) Just step on the accelerator to keep up your speed!
5) Have enough courage and guts!

But, anythin further, you have to look for the pros.. not me! I won't be liable for any accidents caused alright..? Anyway, I'm sure my friends would know what is best for them. As for me.. it really depends on situations.. when there's a irritating car behind me following me to close.. Why Not? ahaha.. then you can see me along with my trusty Accord 2.0 Liters..trying my best to chase the car down... ahaha...
