Flame
March 30, 2007
Looking at this fire, I think about Ghost Rider. The bike with flame. Still remember last time my cousin play fireworks until the whole grass area burned. Lucky that night got rain.
Xbox 360 Elite Confirmed!
March 29, 2007We’ve confirmed with trusted sources that the black Xbox 360 is indeed coming (the image above is of
the original 360 dev kit, FYI), and will be dubbed the Xbox 360 Elite. Here’s
what you need to know about it:
- The Elite will be limited quantities only; that may be
as much or as little as a couple hundred thousand.- The case, controller, and Live headset will all be
black. It will have all new packaging.- Elite will cost $479, and will be a 3rd SKU; it will be
sold alongside Premium and Core packs.- Eventually Elite hardware (in white plastics) will take
the role of the Xbox Premium. That is to say, after the Elite is launched and
sold out, future Xbox Premiums will have 120GB / HDMI.- We do not yet know exactly when 120GB / HDMI will become
the standard for Premium, but it is loosely estimated to be late summer or fall.- Elite models run cooler than normal 360s, but they are
not yet confirmed to have 65nm chips.- Prices may remain the same with the 120GB / HDMI
hardware upgrade in the Premium Xbox, but we may still see a price cut on the
line when 65nm chips start shipping.- The HD DVD drive will not be internal or bundled –
Microsoft never did or nor does not currently have plans to put an HD DVD drive
in the 360.- There are no current plans to integrate WiFi into the
Elite or future Premiums (although that can always change).

Hot Day
March 29, 2007Oh Hi!~
So I am at school now.
Using the Internet service in the library.
Need to pay for the service. RM1/hour.
Not so cool, the computer lab don’t have Internet access as I mention before.
Not fun lar.
Actually I stay back in school for house practice. I am in BLUE house, what house are you in?
So while waiting the house practice to be start, and nothing to do, so I come to blog.
Newspaper also read finish already, don’t have homework, not hungry so only thing I can do and I like to do is go ONLINE and do something, suft net, chat, and of course blog.
It’s hot outside, but it’s cool inside, got air-con. ^^
There is a stupid rules which is, the only one who pay can use the computer, friends cannot sit beside me and watch at the screen. Just now my friend wanted to see me blog, but the library assistant don’t allow him to do so.
And also, I tried to find books on photography here, but after some times looking at the reference corner, I found 1 book, KODAK PHOTOGRAPHY, not on digital photography. The book is old, printed in 1984 =.=
Stupid library, I want photography book!! Last year I didn’t step into this library, but this year I do now, cause sometimes will stay in school for activities and nothing to do.
I stink, morning I had PE lesson, played football. Sweat a lot, very hot weather, sunny day. So I stink in the class. So later I’m going house practice, will do long jump and throw the THING thing, don’t know what it call, something looks like UFO and throw the spear thing. So will become more STINK, eww . HAHA.
My First WARNING Letter
March 28, 2007
… from my Communication Club (PA Service Club), I wonder why they call it Communication. I did not attend their meeting last don’t know which Saturday. I did not go read the notice board so end up getting this. My First TIME. HAHA! I actually dumped it into the rubbish bin, but decided to take back and show you guys. ^^
Nicholas Chan Yik Yeou, school number, class 3TA4 didn’t attend meeting on Saturday 10-3-07 at 8am till 9.30am which held at 5SA3 without any reason of why didn’t attend the meeting. So, you are given the warning for the FIRST time.
My translation sucks. If get warning letter for three times, then OUT of the club already.
Arrive LIAO
March 28, 2007My Dell 22″ Entry Level BUDGET LCD monitor arrived yesterday at my dad’s office.
I didn’t write my house address because I scared when the deliver to us that time I not at home.
Since dad’s shop always got people, so wrote the address of it.
It’s nice, much more bigger than my previous ahem 15″ LG monitor.
Uses DVI input instead of analog, because the colour will be sharper I think.
Sadly this doesn’t have ULTRA-SHARP feature and COMPONENT/COMPOSITE input.
This got 2 input, DVI and Analog, can switch to Analog whenever you want.
So it’s kinda cool, you can plug in your Xbox 360 and PC, then when nothing to do, just a button, you go to 360’s Dashboard.

Out Of the Box.

It comes with a Analog cable plugin into it.

Plugging in the DVI cable.

GUESS WHAT AM I WATCHING?? I JUST GODDAMN LOVE THE SHOW!
Xbox 360 Elite in Action
March 27, 2007
Some Chinese dude in China manage to peep and snap some pict about the rumored Xbox 360 Elite at some production place, now it’s confirm. Microsoft will annoucing it this Wednesday. So this Xbox 360 will feature a 120GB hard drive, Black in color, limited edition too and maybe there will be a white color version ! And very cool, include HDMI output for HD game and video. What else? Let’s wait Microsoft to announce it.
What I think is, Xbox 360 is getting up with PS3, although no build in HD media disc playback yet, only allow HD-DVD play through external player, but also Microsoft maybe releasing Blu-Ray player for Xbox 360 soon, I hope they will have this built in with it, then later maybe also Folding@Home with Xbox 360. Then Xbox 360 can stand side by side with the PS3. My current favourite console is the PS3, because it can do just everything, from Linux OS, web browser, hard drive for media storage and of course Blu-Ray Player. But it’s good to get both, PS3 for games and BD playback while the Xbox 360 as media center in the living room.
HARD TO CHOOSE.
We’ve got a couple spy shots hot off the production line in China of the Xbox 360 Elite. They were taken with a cellphone so the shots aren’t of the highest quality, but they get the job done. The site hosting the thread is TGFCer, which stands for “TV Game Fans Club”, and according to our tipster, is one of the biggest Chinese bbs for video game enthusiasts. A later shot was provided of the top of the hard drive, and you can barely make out the “12″ in “120G HDD” due to over exposure, but with some Photoshop wizardry (Command+I, or Control+I for PC users) we were able to get the text to become more apparent. More pictures (including aforementioned inverted color shot) after the break.

So I was in TEAM 4, I go everywhere the house, and outside, didn’t even find a piece, I found other team’s ^^, I try to put it to a higher place and more hard to find place for them.
KARMA, HAHAHA, my team only found 3 paper and the rest, give other team KEPT away already.
