DOUBLE COMBO APPLE NEWS ALERT!
Yes! iPhone is finally arrived in Malaysia ‘legally’!! wooohooooooo!
It’s time for me to join maxis family. wooot wooot! I’m still reviewing the Maxis rate plan, you can visit it here for the rate plan and booking!
Place your booking now before 17 March to get invited into the official launching!
Hmmmmmmmmm……. well errr, the rate plan look similar like any other telco provider around Asia. So, yeah.
I’m still thinking of getting it or not. Am i over iPhone already or not?
I mean, I’ve been toying around with iPhone 2G & 3G (my cousie bought 2 set from NZ) for sometime now. I know iPhone inside & out. Do i need to own one to satisfy my lust? :)
Rate Plan Analysis
I can see the pattern between the 12 month, 24 and 6 months of iPhone. Lets just discuss on 8GB rate plan. The cheapest monthly commitment among all plan.
As total, the value of iPhone 3G (8GB) for 12 month will cost you about RM2.1k, 24 month will cost you about 1.91k and 6 month will cost about 3.04k. This is how I see it : Cost of iPhone 3G + advance payment = iPhone price offered.
The parallel import of iPhone 3G in Malaysia cost about Rm 3k-ish, depending on your location. I personally believe that it is worth taking the 24 month contract if if you weigh the cost of iPhone 3G.
But, iPhone 3G supposingly to cost ONLY 199USD, which is roughly about 731.572 MYR (1USD = 3.67 MYR), plus shipment, yada yada and in total it should be 1k MYR. I’ll pay cash if they are selling iPhone for 1k MYR, I’m dang serious!
So, if you are taking the 24 month plan, it means that, the charge 900 MYR for each set for the exclusivity to get partnering with Apple and to sell iPhone 3G in Malaysia.
Any comment?
I have not yet discuss on the rate plan! The worth plan, 24 month contract? OMG. It’s 2 years people! lets say, you subscribe to 100/month for 8GB, 24 month contract. It means you are tied up with the telco for 2400MYR over 2 years!
Moreover, iPhone 3G has been in the market for quite sometime now – middle of 2008. I know the spec better, whats good and whatsnot! Macrumors stated that the newer, better, improvised iPhone will be released somewhere around June/July this year (iPhone Nano perhaps? Not sure, but macrumors always spread/leak truthful info on the Apple products), so why not wait?
Oh come on, please browse my blog for whats good and whatsnot on the current model.
So, ask yourself my dear reader, is it worth the plan offered by dear Malaysia telco for Malaysian to own an iPhone 3G?
*shrugs* (run to Maxis store in Damai)
hahahahhahahhahha! I kid you lah! :p I’m still in the office, discussing with gadget freak-o on the worthy on the plan.
It is deja vu. Something similar to Philippines telco offering the contract-based plan.
Except their plan, you can choose to either subscribe to postpaid or stick to prepaid. and again, commitment weigh the value of iPhone 3G.
Some other iPhone-freak-Malaysian-bloggers stated bluntly in their blog that it is not worth getting the iPhone over telco M but then again, it’s your choice to weigh the value according to your own commitment/enthusiasm towards the gadget.
Afterall, I’m paying more than it cost for all the Apple products i own. But mostly, it is top-of-the-line technology. iPhone is still in preliminary stage & gradually improving its spec. So, as for me, I rather wait.
I’ve come accoss the comparison (in spreadsheet) on the aforementioned plan. Credit to Mr Charles for link it to his blog.
Case study: I waited until the 5th/6th generation of iPod before getting one. By then, the spec improved, the design becoming sleeker, storage becoming bigger. 
p/s: I checked iPhone official website, and Malaysia not in the list yet? What’s that mean? Buying from somebody else & not direct from Apple? Very questionable. oh please, telco M, clarify with me!
The New iPod Shuffle!
I can’t help but to scrutinize the NEW sleek design of iPod Shuffle.
It can’t be helped! But the new shuffle looks like tampon. MWHAHAHAHAHA

You can just stick it right up! OMG. I’m so MEAN. 
Have a nice day y’all!
(This is long-overdue post)
Though as much as I love my first generation iPod nano, I can’t help but to feel wanting to get the new release of 4th generation of iPod nano…
aww… and they come in variety of vibrant colors! *drool*
or… shall I consider the second generation of iPod Touch? Ohgodam*drool*fukinniiceee!
Ipod Touch and Ipod nano starting at $299 and $149 respectively.
So what say you? Do I have to give in to my gadget-lust?
It is official! My Kelisa is officially ipod-compatible. ha ha.
You see, I’m not driving those cars that offer ’seamless integration’ of the ipod just like the new beetle volkswagen, mini cooper or even BMW where you can just plug in your ipod to the car stereo & the song details will appear in your stereo screen.
Here is the wireless fm transmitter and the charger:
I’m running out of idea on what to blog about today. I’ll continue later then.
Once i settle down; cleaning up my bag (too much paper, wires, electronics), room & everything else. Everything is such in a mess.
Note: Yeah i know i own a first generation of nano. it’s vintage. I was toying around with Ipod Touch just now at MacBorneo. *wishful thinking*. LOL.
Oh gosh, I’m so so bored & sleepy in the office right now. Though i maximize the volume of my ipod, I’m still sleepy.
I just sent my first scoping note for my second Project this morning & the copy of the report will be send to the client in Puchong this afternoon. I’m waiting for the ABX guy to come. LOL.
Currently I’m reading how to read the wind rose diagram. I supposed to know about this donkey years ago but didn’t bother to learn about it. Sigh. Now i HAVE TO know about it. So yeah, no choice. haha.
So what exactly is wind rose?
A wind rose is a graphic tools used by the meteorologists to give a succinct view of how wind speed and direction are typically distributed at a particular location.
How do you interprete the wind rose diagram? This is the explaination given by the Malaysian Meteorological Department:
The concentric circles in dashes of a wind rose represent the various percentage frequencies of time as labelled. the innermost full circle represents the percentage occurrence of calm (wind speed less than or equal to 0.2 m/s), the value of which is inscribed within the circle. Various arms radiate from the innermost circle. The total length of each arm represents the total percentage frequency of time the wind blows from the direction concerned. Each arm is again subdivided into a line and rectangles of different shades or sizes. These represent the various classes of speed as given in the key scale.
How do they obtain this kind of data?
Wind observations at the station are taken from pressure tube anemograph. Wind direction is analysed according to 8 compass points. The limits chose for wind speed correspond with the scale for Beaufort Force. The source data used in the analysis are the hourly averages of wind speed and direction.
So today, I’m a meteorologist.
