Self 3D Image

Hello y'all, i was bored got anything else to do.. and got bored of watching movies and reading novels. I dunno why but suddenly i want to find a software that can 3D-ed my face from pictures.

So I downloaded this software called FaceGen Modeller (You can download from here), and guess what? i have to upload 3 pictures, One from the front, from the right and lastly from the left. Since my computer is super slow.. it took me an hour for the computer to calculate the 3D frame of my face, and there it is.. my thinned face.. STUPID!! I guess this software discriminate against big people!! HAHA what the hell.. who cares.. now I can see how would I look like if I am thinner.. HAHA

Free Laptops?! Geek Mode : ON

Well i received a message from B.Mobile yesterday morning and it goes like this..

"Get a FREE laptop & modem

with FREE Internet surfing for

as low as $45/mnth.Visit us @

The Mall (cheezBox) from 26

Mar.Info@177. Terms &

Conditions Applies"

I gotta say that the last sentence really did kill my "Typical-Bruneian-Greed-Syndrome",but to some people they may have been blinded by the word "FREE". So i got so skeptical on this and just skipped it.

Anyway later that night, my friends & I were talking about stuffs & I brought up the message I received as a topic, and guess what? they got excited about it... and as always excitement is very contagious.. HAHA so I thought of looking out for it in the Internet. At first, I was only thinking of checking out the laptop specs, brand and model which later leads me to dig deeper on the terms and regulation.

Gotta admit that 3.6 MB per second (MBps) speed really blown me away.. its like.. you can download a medium quality MP3 for a second only, but then 3.6MBps is the maximum speed.. who knows most of the time the speed will be slower than that right?.. I mean look at e-speed.. though my speed is 512KBps but then downloading a song took me an average time of 15mins!!

Then I stumbled upon a poster from B.Mobile's web.. the laptop is actually Dell's Vostro 1400, then I searched again for a blog mentioning about this "promotion" and lucky me that I got to read a dude's blog who went to the booth, http://dencorp.blogspot.com/. From there I found out that some of the things are free except..

1. the laptop is not free, the $45 is actually for the laptop's monthly payment

2. the Internet connection is free for only up to 2GB of downloads per month for 48 months (4 Years), more than that.. it's $0.50 per MB

3. Though the modem is free, but you really do need to have an active B.mobile line to be inserted to the modem

To those who are thinking to own the modem since you have a laptop already.. well it's a sad news for you... they don't sell the modem separately.. You MUST buy the laptop in order to get the free modem.

Anyway I found out from one of the sites, there is a small slot compartment for SIM card underneath the battery pack of the Dell Vostro 1400 , but the reviewer said the use of it is still unknown, I guess that is the reason B.mobile is giving out the modem for free with the laptop.

Well what can I say? It's a marketing strategy.. we can't blame them for doing so.. in a way we can say it is.. as if, the $45 is for monthly Internet payment (if not exceeded 2GB or 48 months of usage) but free laptop OR vice versa.. c'mon guys, lets be optimistic on this one.. at least we can imaginatively see the "FREE" part on this... HAHA

Hm.. well for those who are really interested on the laptop here are the specs, which i got from the posters with lil' extra infos from the net..

P/S: I try to find a way to use the B.Mobile SIM card (without using their Modem), so i tried to find an unlocked (can be used with any SIM card with 3G ability) modem, and guess what? i found a better solution.. an internal modem for the laptop!! it's Dell's Wireless 5520 Mobile Broadband Card Mini-PCI WWAN!!!! so I guess the SIM card slot underneath the battery of Dell Vostro 1400 can be used if this modem is installed.

There also might be such modem for upgrades to other laptops.. see.. who said you really do need B.mobile modem? hehe

Dad... I Miss You..

As i strolled around with my friend... We were listening to Kristal FM and a song has been played, a song that brings memories of my dad to me.. all of the sudden i was silenced by the song that i haven't heard of for quite sometime, a song that touches my heart and makes me speechless with my teary eyes.. it's Luther Vandross's Dance With My Father..

image

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then

Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved


If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again
Ooh, ooh


When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me


If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again


Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear how mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me


I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But dear Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
