Yesterday marked the 3rd year of me being involved with Apple products. I couldn’t believe that time passed by that fast and it was just like yesterday when there’s only 10 or less in the entire team and right now there’s like 60 plus. Our annual dinner this time was held at E&O Penang and theme given was black/white for the guys and pink for the girls unlike last year where we had to dress up as professions.

I took this opportunity to use my DSLR to the max and i ended up with 500 over pictures -_-” Of course not all turned out well. But i have to say that when you are equiped with a DSLR, people just tend to pose and wouldn’t mind if their pictures are taken. And this is regardless if you are noob or an expert I barely know how to use all the buttons on the camera and there i was snapping away like i have been doing it for years -_-” So please bear with my amateurish shots

The man behind the scene: Since Mr Li’s birthday was a few days back, everyone decided to celebrate it at the dinner itself. I wanna take this opportunity to thank Mr Li for the iPod Touch

The dinner was not bad, it had a theme which was East Meets West. Definitely better than last year which i had a hard time filling my stomach. Right after dinner there were lucky draws and games.

The first game was bread eating competition. Unfortunately for me i was called up when i was in fact trying to wave at someone -_-”

Cheng Lit and I were blown off by Chun Huey and Wah. I had a hard time swallowing the bread

Wah proposing to Chun Huey? tsk tsk.

After that, the game became more ‘ganas’. Instead of feeding a piece of bread, both team mates would have to finish up an apple without the use of their hands.

Winson came out first. Hehehe.

Between the sessions, people were all over taking photos and so did I.

Miss Calyn: My once upon a time colleague during the first few batches. In fact she’s the only person who still keeps contact with me. The rest dunno disappear where already -_-”

Miss Chun Huey: The person who bugs me on every Wednesday for my schedule. Hahaha i don’t think that’s gonna happen again, tsk tsk. All the best !

Miss Cheng Lit: Datin Cheng Lit, that’s what Jacky called her -_-”

Hohoho this is my Sifu *bow bow* Yeah i know the attire is very drag queen type but don’t let that fool you. This fella is one genius in Apple products. Luckily for me, i had the chance to be under his wing before he was promoted Btw he, Kant, won best attire for Male Category. Damn sad case ler -_-”

The girls also wanted to camwhore. This is only a ‘fraction’ of the ladies at the dinner. The rest were probably camwhoring at some other place. From the left: Joanne, Ruby, Pauline, Yee Wen, Seik Yee and Khar Ling.

The guys weren’t left out either. Yeah i know there’s only three, the rest were plain lazy -_-” From the left: Howe Yong (iVingie’s cousin ), Alvan (standing) and Pin Teng (seating).

Some dodo bird walked away with a free iPod Touch, lucky fella ! Cedric come let me *ahem* jailbreak it. Hahaha. From the left: Justin, Jacky, ME, Marshall

ME, Joanne and Roy

I took the opportunity to take a group photo with the ladies in pink But later on someone said it looked ‘wrong’ for me to sit with all the girls standing around -_-” So we retook the picture.

This time i stood with them

Then we all adjourned to Segafredo. I ordered cold chocolate but i was forced to gulp down a bottle of beer -_-” So i had chocolate beer ?! Oh ya it was all paid for, so i couldn’t careless what i was drinking

I was checking technorati for a certain tag and came across this video regarding the latest gadget Apple has to offer. Check the video out.

This is the description of the video:

I just got myself an iPhone and it can do magic things. Secret Fun iPone applications discovered? I recorded this at the Apple Store in Soho just 30 minutes after the introduction of the iPhone. Have fun!!!

Now if iPhone is capable of doing that, i wouldn’t mind saving my money when iPhone reaches our shore … for the time being i shall stick to my bulky z800i

Apple is warning customers who use the Windows version of its iTunes software to hold off upgrading to Windows Vista until it can release a patch to fix a number of serious compatibility issues, one of which could result in a corrupt iPod player.

I came back home and found out my dad changed his nano. I thought 2Gb was more than enough for him but i was wrong. He got himself a new 8Gb nano without even consulting me first -_-”

The best part is, my bro took over his 2Gb nano

So now i have in my house the 1st generation nano and the 2nd generation. Waste money only -_-”

Lingster looks so excited having 2 nanos in her hands and i just couldn’t be bothered. Hahaha. When will i ever get my very own ipod
