Just got a iPhone from a recontract...
I got the white 16GB version...
Dislikes:
- Limited ringtones or message tones unless you install other applications...
- Typing is a chore...Must get used to it...
- Need to use iTunes to put songs and videos...
- Cannot act as storage device for PC...Whats the point of 16GB?
- Need to convert video to MP4 for playback...
Likes:
- Very sleek...
- Can play song loud loud!! Weee!!
- Video quite smooth...
- Can do lap timing above 100 laps!! Old phone only up to 19...
- GPS!! But must calibrate by WiFi...
End of the day, I still prefer old technology...Maybe need a month or so to really get used to the phone...Then I can say whether its good or bad...

Milk Milk...
Haven't been to the supermarket lately, but I expect alot of chocolates and other diary products to be off the shelves due to the recent turn of events in China's milk industry...
Not surprising what suppliers over there do to earn more money...
Luckily I'm not a big fan of diary products except cheese...Dun think this will affect my life...
One thing I can expect, is that my professor for EG2401 module will surely say something against china...And before he say anything, he will state that he has no grudge against china...Again...

The recent...
Tampines...
- Didn't perform well in the open drift...Dunno why, but the car dun have grip at all...Forget it...
- Joined the Sprint 2 endurance, only challenge was from Adil...He's one of the top Mini-Z drivers I know last time, so it was pretty hard to pull away from him...If not for his hardware failure, I doubt we could place first...
- Never joined the 23T as I want to take a break from RC...
Funan...
- Joined 23T...Car was sliding here and there without grip...Thats irregardless of traction compound, cleaning, etc...Tried to set the car with various settings...But simply dunno why car doesn't work at all...Today got 4th...Not bad for a tail-happy car, and 2nd overall...again...
- Joined Sprint 2 endurance, but without the car I set previously...It was loaned to Team Fast & Furious (TFF) and that car seemed to be alot more stable than the one I was using, which is Julia's car...TFF had a problem with the motor at the last 10mins where I was probably 27laps away...I calculated that I need 6-8 mins to catch up and we did catch up to 2nd place...1st place had a grippier car which solves everything that I want Julia's car to have...
- Overall track, is utter crap...Lots of red FUR, lots of spinouts...If it was the same carpet, the whole race would be successful, fast and very happening...Now is just watching everyone try not to spinout while some had more grip than others...
- Grand Finale luckydraw...Abit unfair when they said everyone has a chance at taking home something...Nobody expected the something to be a bag...YES a BAG...Till now I'm still wondering why I only have 1 chance at the lucky draw even though I participated in 2 endurance races...Is it because my name wasn't inside? Hmm dunno...
If they want to make everyone happy with the lucky draw, they should restrict those who got something already, to items that are leftovers...At least everyone would get something nice and not a bag...
Conclusion:
1. Funan carpet is crap...It makes everything disappointing...Elsewhere is pretty nice unless its wet...
2. Transponder system is lousy...
3. Lucky draw is not lucky at all...With several people getting stuff for 3-5 times...While some have nothing else than a bag...

HPI @ IMM Pt 2
Track was slightly damp after the long straight due to Saturday's downpour...The damp area was at the starting grid and I had 'drift' starts or understeer upon entry into that corner...
I was in the same group as How Jiang who have difficulty in getting the car to be stable...Most likely due to his low-downforce shell...
After the 5/6 round, I was tied in points with Joe Hwee but I have the advantage of a better lap timing and probably the most number of laps in 5min...
And best thing is I went against Joe at the 6th round...It was either him or me situation...
Well, was pretty lucky that I found a good line and managed to be consistent...Got 1st as a result...
Set the car to be more stable, hence I feel more confident driving it...

HPI event @ IMM!!
Went there for the open-chassis drift event...
Got 1st...Yup...Pretty happy...
Didn't really like the track layout...Or maybe particularly, I dun like carpet...The feeling of having grip when you dun want it, dun have grip when you need it...I prefer the feeling of running on tiles...
The 15T Drift Meister motor dun like me or I dunno how to tune it well...I did the usual alignment stuff less the comm lathing...Mid range rpm doesn't feel linear...
Maybe its the setting in the VFS-FR that I bought <24hrs ago...
Speaking of ESCs, lucky I never use my MC330CR...Dun really like using a 15T motor on a 13T limit ESC...Might just be so suay to burn it...And Harold really burnt a MC330CR...
Then he burnt another MC330CR which I sold him on the spot...Sad case...
Would prefer Taising HPI to allow open-motors so as to prevent burning ESCs...
Wasn't part of the enduro, but was an advisor for a team cos I'm beside them...Haha...
3 teams took part and the teams placing was as expected...
Shawn helped me spray a very nice shell...Now most of us have the same theme!! Mine's fluoroscent orange which is a rather striking color...Niceee!
