Driving Class - 2

Tiring! Hurting all my left bodyparts! But it was fun! heheh... Today I learnt how to side-park a car + the continuation of last week 3-point turning. I drove quite an old Kancil that has a hard clutch (countless engine stalls!!! Yikes!!) + a difficult gear to deal with (asik-asik tak masuk gear... naik lenguh tangan).

It was drizzling a bit when I get the hold of the whole thing. Let's give myself a round of applause 'coz I didn't hit a single pole!! YaaaaaaaaayyyyY!!! The only thing that sucks is the clutch. Still had trouble controlling the clutch. Haihhhh... I need a car to practise....

Productive Week??

This week has been a tiring week but I'm very satisfied with it. First the start of the tuition class (teaching Science and Malay Language to a very passive girl is very stressful. Both of the subjects requires communication and she's almost like a handicap, a mute).

Then the coming together of our (as in Mak & I) business plan. Heheh... SOON, we'll become the new entrepreneurs (at least up until end of february). Sooo excited. Plus this Sunday I'll be going to SSF! Cool place & I just love being there (even though for browsing). If you don't believe me, visit this place!
Another good thing rolling is now I'm a contributor to a gadget review blog called Ideal Gadget. Go check it out!!

4:00 pm Taste Test (ehem... confidential)

5:05 - 5.55 pm Attended a presentation done by the Practical Trainees. Interesting & refreshing my memory on thermodynamics :p

All n all today was a meeting day. Tiring but I pulled through. Coupled with the great news I received this passed few days, I total it as an awesome week! Although there are only RM 7.57 in my wallet as of now... hehehehehhehe...

Motorola L6 Review

Features of the Motorola L6:
  • Size: 113 x 49 x 10.9 mm
  • Weight: 86 g
  • Display: STN 65,000 colours, 128 x 160 pixels
  • Triband
  • VGA camera (640 x 480 pixels) with 4x digital zoom
  • Memory: 10 MB
  • MP3 ringtones
  • Phone book: 500 entries, Push to Talk, Picture caller ID
  • Handsfree speakerphone
  • Messaging: SMS, EMS 5.0, MMS Instant Messaging
  • Java games, downloadable screensavers, images, animations and sounds
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth®, USB, SyncML,WAP 2.0, GPRS Class 10
  • Talktime: up to 250 minutes
  • Battery standby: up to 345 hours
First impression: Very thin! But WIDE and it comes in PINK (I HATE pink). But let's not be biased OK. The WIDE size of it makes it fit comfotably in anyone's palm especially gentlemen although the design (thinness & lightweightness) might appeal more to the ladies. The very thin but sturdy metal metallic (silver, baby blue or neon pink) housing is the main key to its thin design that is envied. And oh yeah... looking at the features in its package and comparing it with the offered price... Whoaaa you have one very affordable phone!

However... further scutinisation shows...

Display: is STN instead of TFT which is only capable to display up to 65K colors only so the display is pretty dim and blur. Any thoughts on authentic color photos should be forgotten. The low resolution also made the round corners of a picture a little bit rough.

Camera: Another weak link although the 4x zoom might made your eyes widen a bit. But don't be fooled! The zoom only produced photo "crops". As for the maximum resolution, the camera only provides you with a 0.31 megapixel thus the picture produced will be slightly blur and hazy especially if it is underexpose. However, it is sufficient for basic photo-taking or during those emergencies when you don't have your digital camera at hand (like involving yourself in a car accident :p). Despite all the weaknesses, Motorola L6 provides us with quite a big range of photo effects for a phone camera (e.g. white/color combination, sephia, etc.) and these visual effects can be used for the video camera.

Memory: Motorola L6 is very rich in features. With its capability of storing up to 500 contact numbers, storing MP3, downloading screensavers, images, sounds and animation the non-expandable built-in memory of 10MB somehow made me think either those designers & engineers in Motorola came from the same company or not. It is just NOT SUFFICIENT. Somehow it renders all the great features almost useless.

Speaker: This is one of the L6 strength. The 3D sound produced is very good although the placement of the speaker at the lower back of the phone made is a pity because the sound will be muffled or sharpen based on the surface the phone is put onto.

Keypad/Messaging: As an avid user of SMS, I was appalled and frustrated with Motorola L6. For me, this is the weakest link of all. The design of the keypad requires user to add more pressure while typing their message and after a while you tend to hurt your fingers. Due to this, you aren't able to type with one hand (or it is very hard even if you manage to do so) and if you cover your phone with a crystal casing (the ever current fashion for a phone), you are likely to type wrongly especially the characters at the '*' and '#' buttons. That is just the keypad. I found that the sofware speed to be very slow especially when you are publishing long messages. This makes it hard for you to edit it if you are in a hurry. However, the ability of the software to allow users to key in by character was a little bit consoling although this little facility is not available when you are using the phonebook to search for contacts. Searching phonebook & renaming files in your multimedia folders is done by string characters - meaning you have to search the appropriate string of characters to match your contacts' name or word. Such a troublesome way especially if you are in a hurry to contact an important person.

Conclusion: All in all Motorola L6 is good for those users who make frequent calls and use basic fundtions of a phone. The package twinned with the very affordable price make it an eye catcher for these kinds of users. However I would suggest that this phone be suitable for a second phone only.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year to all!!!! Yes I'm back! Actually after the new year I had published another blog (ThinkTankerTwoTown) where I'll be ranting on DIY, gifts, safety, health & environment. Huuuu quite a heavy topic eh? Hope I can keep on updating it regularly. Kind of hard to maintain 2 blogs at a time.

This blog will still be the 1st love... heheh... my life diary (if I dare to bare to all here). New year was great for me. I had a new haircut! Yeah.... a bit tom boyish. Remember the hair problems I've been having? Well... It was THAT bad that I decided to cut it.

O yeah.. I had received the Loreal elseve products I ordered with my fwen... (hey, I got discounts for all Loreal products all year round, anybody interested, PM me!). The mask was just great. I'll be doing the review on that sometime soon. I had just used it twice, so it's not gonna be fair for a review now.

New Year Resolution. I don't have any. Resolutions should be made daily. So that's it.
