A crossing of paths, A game remembered in time... Chrono Cross

I was looking for some games to play since my exams are over, when I suddenly recalled this game...

It's from the creators of Final Fantasy, Squaresoft(now Square Enix). I remembered it as a game of serene beauty.. a good storyline, enjoyable gameplay, and with tonnes of characters to utilize. It was, at that time, deemed a game with one of the best opening sequence, because it was so moving, and brings out the anticipation to those who watched it.

Anyways, better than words, watch it ~ I personally love the opening sequence XD Beautiful song...

Out with the old and in with the....

Continuing from previous post... These are a couple of pictures of my old phone ~ My first and previous phone was the Nokia 8250.


Known by several names, i.e. the butterfly button phone and the blue phone, to name a few ~ It was the first time I owned a handphone, and, at that time of purchase, the price for a prepaid number was still expensive... But being new and all, I treasured it like my own precious baby~



After serving me for a quarter of my exisiting life, I had to unfortunately lay it to rest... it was giving some call problems months ago, but it finally reached it's limit... so I had to find a replacement... So after some reading and reviewing, I finally settled for...

the Nokia N73 Music Edition !!


The N73 was actually a phone which I've wanted ever since it came out, but thanks to the long life of my 8250, I just waited it out, until now :p


When I first used it, I found it rather slow... I mean comparing a phone 6 years ago, with a phone which is deemed as a "computer",the comparison is rather inaccurate.. so.. I guess it's something I'll have to get used to.. Apparently it's a problem with all Symbian series phones, or maybe the S60 series to be more specific.

First impression.... cool!! I like the black and silver colour combination (Nokia's Nseries special edition signature), in terms of the physical build, it's rather solid, a little long in length for my taste, but I guess it's okay ~ the keypad is rather small though.... the keys are cramped up in such a small space, those with big fingers will have toruble... but all in all, it's a nice build :p

The reason I liked the N73 initially was because of the built-in camera; It boasts a 3.2MP Carl Zeiss camera, at that time, only the N90/N93 had ~ so it was very attractive to me :p


I'm still in the midst of exploring the software portion of the phone, so I won't write anything much about it... just that it's a world of difference compared to my old phone (DUHH !!), so I'm not used to the idea of multi-tasking on a phone yet... but I'll get the hang of it, hehe.

So for now, I'll continue exploring my new found phone, and hopefully, it will keep me company for many years to come, muahahaha !!

P/S : I'll be creating a new kind of post under my blog, this is in conjuction with my new phone's cam :p I'll occasionally take some pics with the phone cam, and I'll put it up in my blog. So, hope it'll be interesting, as well as improve my photography skills, which I currently have none...

Saying good bye to the old, and hello to the new

After serving me for a quarter of my life, I'm finally saying goodbye to my beloved handphone ~ My Nokia 8250 has served me well, to the very last call.

But I'm finally going to replace my phone, which I did. I'm lazy to put up any photos as of now, so I'll keep the model my "dirty little secret" for now :p :p

But unfortunately.... barely a week in serving it's new master.... the master... dropped the phone !!!! I didn't even have the time to find a casing for it yet, and it's already physically scarred.... AARRRRGGGGHHHH !!!!!

It's so freaking hurtful, spending a sum on the new phone... and getting it damanged.... thankfully no internal problems... but... the flawless looks is now.... *sob* *sob*..... FLAWED !!!!Sigh..... terrible month for me....



Anyways, on a side note, I'm finishing my studies soon, gonna join the unemployed pretty soon ~ feel kinda excited actually, hehe. It's like... end of a phase, and beginning of another ~ the beginning of a new Money-ful age ~ the age of saving and spending, the age of money rules everything!! Man, am I money-minded or what XD

But seriously... whenever I mention to anyone that I'm about to finish my studies, they either tell me to cherish whatever life I have left, or ... enjoy the time before working, or... "dude, I'm sorry you're gonna lose your life..." kinda speech...

I mean I know it's pretty lifeless working day in and day out for another 32 years... I mean it'll be work, sleep, work, sleep, work, weekend, rest, rest, regret rested, then work, sleep, and so on... repeating the cycle.... yea, actually that kinda suck... but it can't be worse than what I'm facing now... eat, play, sleep, eat play, sleep, class (ponteng), eat, sleep, weekend, lepak, games, sleep, and repeat cycle... hmm... I think I'm beginning to see the point here....
