Nokia E63 a cool gadget

wow i'm making my first ever post with my new nokia e63. I'm beginning to really get attached to this nifty toy. It's portable, fits just as nicely on my palm as it does in my handbag n it comes in a sassy red colour. Also comes in blue and now black, but i'll tell ya guys, red totally rocks.

Its so cool cos no matter where i am i can just whip this baby out and check my emails which is sooo handy for a girl on the go like me who needs to attend to business emails daily.

Screen is pretty big and bright, so i can read messages pretty easily. Buttons may be small for big guys or those with huge stubby fingers but its just nice for mine. Camera is 2 megapixel and so far i find the pictures taken reasonably clear and bright.

Am going pretty nutty over this cool gadget. In a good way. And best of all, it is budget-friendly. Stylish nokia phone designed after the blackberry phone(has qwerty keypad), this baby only costs rm950. Apparently techie shops like in digimall and low yat and have 2 versions of this phone - one with original parts n another with some non-original parts but apparently both are manufactured by nokia factories except the not so original one has a shorter warranty period but is cheaper at rm880.

Sounds a little like hocus pocus that those low yat ah bengs cooked up, doesn't it? Well, that's what they say... .

anyhoo i think this is a great buy, love it so far and discovering more and more cool trocks as i explore further. Cool!

American Idol Finale Star-studded Performances

The American Idol finale was quite, quite impressive. It was a star-studded show with performances from Queen, KISS, Cyndi Lauper, Lionel Ritchie, Jason Mraz, Fergie (what a bod!), The Black Eyed Peas, Rod Stewart, Santana and Steve Martin (who knew he could play the banjo.. and compose songs??)

And as the show went on, it just became clear that Adam was the star of the show that night. Especially during his performance with Queen. Kris was just fading away into the background (my gosh, that college kid Kris is married, that's such a kill-joy isn't it?)

I'll be looking forward to seeing both their progress in the music industry from hereon.. especially Adam's.

Kris Allen beats Adam Lambert on AI

You should know it by now. Yeap, Kris Allen has been crowned American Idol in an upset win over Adam Lambert.

Honestly, I'm almost too upset to even comment on that right now. When he beat Gokey to make it to the final two, I was stunned, but still satisfied that the DESERVING WINNER, the one and only fantabulous Adam Lambert, was also made finalist... and I was almost sure that he would win AI hands down.

Kris is just so boring and.. poof, something that is pleasant but fades away the minute he walks off stage. But Adam.. Adam is iconic. He is so AMAZINGLY TALENTED. I'd hate to say this, but by choosing Kris over Adam as winner of AI (whether the whole contest really is based on votes or it's just a total set-up), I've kinda lost my faith in AI in having good taste and giving recognition where its due. Second place just doesn't cut it for talent as big as Adam Lambert.

Anyhow, to me, Adam Lambert is the winner. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A WINNER TO ME, ADAM!!!

Adam Lambert Showdown with Kris Allen

Out with Gokey, and in with Kris. For me, this was an upset. Judge Simon Cowell said it was Kris' creative and original rendition of Kanye West's Heartless which won him a spot on the finals. Bull Crap! I mean, sure, it was well-performed and extremely refreshing.

So was Gokey's performance! I have always said that while Gokey is a good singer, he never had a "magical" moment like Adam Lambert's Track of My Tears or Anoop Desai's Ooh Baby Baby, which made thousands of people replay the videos on Youtube OVER AND OVER AGAIN like maniacs, for hours and days, including yours truly.

But he did, last week. He was totally spot on singing the song choice of Paula Abdul. And when he sang You Are So Beautiful.. I was mesmerized. I knew THAT was his magical moment, and true enough, the song replayed itself in my head for days. Only problem is.. the song itself, is not exactly my favourite. Too mushy and kinda blah tune. Maybe that's why it isn't so appealing. But Danny did an EXCELLENT job emoting that song, and made it MAGICAL!!

Yet, he lost to postbox mouth, boy-next-door Kris Allen, who really has NO STAR APPEAL! I like that he's cute, quiet and humble and all, but we're looking for a STAR here.

Anyways, it all doesn't matter, because in the end, who I really, really want to win is Adam, that's all. And if he doesn't, gosh, I dunno what's wrong with America.

Simon, Stop Being A Bitch!

I've always looked forward to what Simon had to say as a judge on AI. But lately, Simon's becoming such a bitch! And I can only guess he's become one after Kara Dioguardi, an artist with a ear for music herself (the opposite of Paula, obviously) started to be the Go-To or Listen-To for really smart, good comments on the singers' performances.

And his pride probably took another blow after Ryan Seacrest jabbed at him with a comment something to the effect of, oh, you're so wrong this time and Kara & Randy were right! (America had voted for Allison & Danny as Top 2, and Matt, Kris & Adam as Bottom 3, the total opposite of what Simon had earlier commented).

Ever since then, I noticed Simon's making cruel remarks that are totally uncalled for e.g. "How bout this? Danny, you're the better singer." after Kris & Danny's duet last week. Poor Kris. And I really have had enough of his bashing of Allison Iraheta. I mean, enough already, what were YOU doing, Simon, when you were 16? Obviously still playing with barbie dolls. Or were they even invented yet?

The least he can do is to understand how fragile a teen can be at that age, and what could be worse than attacking her personality. SHE'S FREAKIN' SIXTEEN!!!

Gosh, Simon. I used to like you.

Anoop Desai and Allison Iraheta Kicked Out

No, I'm not behind time. I'm aware that Anoop was kicked out 2 weeks ago but since he's still the only one worth mentioning other than Allison (Lil' & Matt - yaawwwnn..), then that's what I'm going to talk about.

Anoop Dawg: Well, we knew he wasn't going to win anyway. Still, I'll be missing those gorgeous eyebrows! And I still haven't gotten over your magical performance of Ooh Baby Baby yet.

Allison: First off, you're only bloody 16. That's enough cause for the rest of the world to envy you already. And please, just ignore Simon who's getting more and more insensitive by the day. I mean, stop messing with the poor girl's head. I still remember how insecure and angsty I was at that age, and Alllison really doesn't to carry any chip on her shoulder for the rest of her life, just because she was brave enough to get on stage and compete on AI. Getting to be a real farce anyway, that AI.

And Simon says you lack personality? I mean, for god's sake, she needs to grow up first, Simon! Stop being a bitch!
