iStory

Tiring week considering that I've been going out consecutively for days and reaching home at around 11 plus every day. Totally burned out that I cant find the time and energy to self study the GMAT books I borrowed. However, there was a book that caught my attention and would like to share with you guys...

iMac, iBook, iPod, iTunes... possibly other 'i' products from Apple that I missed out and not listed here. Whatever the case, let me introduce to you their new product in the market... "iCon". Possibly not something new as it was published last year in 2005, which only caught my eye recently. Its actually a book titled, "iCon Steve Jobs: The Greatest Second Act in The History of Business". When I first saw the title, I thought it contains some sort of pun like "i con someone for money"... it turns out to be the biography of Steve Jobs, an icon person in the business world. Although I'm only at the first few chapters, its truly an interesting and inspiring book worth recommending. Its starts off introducing Steven Paul Jobs (or commonly known as Steve Jobs) parents and his adoption since birth. His history since young and progressively mention how he became the CEO of Apple and Chairman of Pixar.

Its simply amazing how the Apple "i" craze doesn't stop. Aside from their products, their names and usage has become so popular that one can actually hear slangs such as "nanogasm" used in Europe. (Nanogasm defined as obession and erotic enjoyment derived from Apple iPod Nano), really interesting... Perhaps I can modify the name of my blog to be iJourney for the thrill of it... =Þ

Went to shop for my cousin's PSP yesterday afternoon (Tuesday 18th July 2006). We practically surveyed all the shops in Sim Lim Sqaure trying to find the best bargain for the game console. We later made a trip down to Funan to check the prices only to realize an offer of $330 was the lowest from one of the shops in Sim Lim Square. However when we returned back to the shop in Sim Lim, the price of $330 will be offered only if we purchase extra accessories from them which costs around $50 more. We ended up buying the console from Sim Lim and a game from Funan before sending my cousin home.

The graphic display and game play of PSP was terrific. He bought only 1 game, "FIFA Street 2" and I was already addicted to it. Anyway, some tips for interested buyers... There exists 2 versions of PSP, version 1.5 and version 2.6. The latter version supports only original games which costs around S$30, to a range up to S$70. Version 1.5 or the earlier release supports downloadable games from the net and therefore more costly. Both version comes with a choice of Standard Pack or Value Pack, each with different prices making purchasing a real headache.

Went to meet Hao Xin for dinner at Macpherson road. Played pool at Dhoby Ghaut before heading home. My performance was terrible today... utterly horrendous! Guess I was too tired from all the walking in the afternoon. Argh, so tired...

Time to end this posts and call it a day... or night... watever... =)
