Today's 09/09/09

After so long.... i have decided to update my blog...

today is September 9th 2009. written as 09/09/09

i think it's a cool number.

here's part of an article from Yahoo! news:

Any grade-schooler could tell you, for example, that the sum of the two-digits resulting from nine multiplied by any other single-digit number will equal nine. So 9x3=27, and 2+7=9.
Multiply nine by any two, three or four-digit number and the sums of those will also break down to nine. For example: 9x62 = 558; 5+5+8=18; 1+8=9.
Sept. 9 also happens to be the 252nd day of the year (2 + 5 +2)...Loving 9

Happy New Year 2009!

So it's the new year! everyone's rejoicing and setting up new year resolutions. What is your new year's resolution?

Whatever it is, i hope it will come true and this would be a great year for all of us.

This year is the year of the Ox according to the chinese zodiac ;

The Ox is the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work. This powerful sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. As one might guess, such people are dependable, calm, and modest. Like their animal namesake, the Ox is unswervingly patient, tireless in their work, and capable of enduring any amount of hardship without complaint.

Samsung Instinct VS LG Vu VS Apple iPhone

3 hottest touchscreen phones on the market. which one is the best? which one should you get?

personally..iPhone is my favourite, even though there r many other better phones out there with better features n functions.
this is something i can't explain. i've been intrigued by iPhone's sleek design from the first time i saw it. Apple design always fascinates me. Maybe i'm someone who would care more about the looks.

Recommended games for the ps3!!!

First i would really like to recommend GTA 4. i think most people who've owned a ps3 would already know how good the game is. For those who don't...don't hesitate to get one urself. it's just too goood~ and for those who don't own a ps3...this is one good reason to get one. The game has a 10/10 rating in ign.com.... one of the very very few games which receive such ratings.

The graphics are awesomeness nesss nessss! and the gameplay is supa realistica!!

witness this preview yourself and u'll believe me. but of course...everyone has their own personal opinions on the game.





Another good game that i would recommend is GRID
it's a racing game and it's supa realisssticcc!
ur cars will crash...it will get damages and dents everywhere if u hit other cars or obstacles...so the real challenge is first to complete the race rather than to win 1st place...it's really a challenge for gamers cuz it's really hard to win without crashing the car.
