OLD BOOTROOM - Check your model number....if it begins with "MC" then you have the new bootrom if it is not "MC" then you have an older bootrom also check the 4th and 5th number in you serial number if it is lower then 40 then you have an old bootrom.

First Step - Download all the require file
iPhone OS 3.1.2 - Download from here
iPhone OS 4.0 - Download from here

PwnageTool 4.01 - Download from http://blog.iphone-dev.org/

2nd Step - Plug in your iPhone 3Gs to your mac and open up your itunes. From itunes, option click restore and choose OS 3.1.2 that you just download. Don't get panic when you get an error message. It is normal to get the error message. Restore with OS 3.1.2 TWO TIMES.

3rd Step - after you have restore your iPhone 3Gs two times with OS 3.1.2 you will still be in the recovery mode. Open up redsnow 0.9.2 and follow the steps in the application.

5th Step - When you finish restore with the custom OS 4.0, you iPhone 3Gs now is successfully jailbreak with OS4.0. The only thing you need is to unlock it so that you can use any other service provider other than the one locked to. To do the unlock, open up your Cydia. It will probably update your Cydia for sometimes. When it is done updating your Cydia, tap on 'manage' and then tap on 'Sources'. Touch “Edit” and then “Add”. You will be prompted to enter a URL for repository source. Enter “http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com” and finally “Add The Source”. Leave the rest for Cydia as it will update the sources.

6th Step - When it is done, go to 'search' and search for ultrasnow and install it. Once it is done installing it will prompt you to reboot. Please do so and you are happy to go with any carrier. Congratulation, now you have a jailbreak+unlocked iPhone 3Gs with OS4.0

Dell Studio 17/1747 (Review) worth to buy or not???

The pic above is the new Dell Studio 17/1747. as you can see the size of it. It is huge but monster inside. What do I mean by monster? It's definitely beats most laptop I ever seen so far. It's big but it come with 17.3 inches screen. This one come with monster 1gb graphic card and 8gb Ram
and 1TB hard disk as well as blu-ray combo. A lot of input and output on both site. USB, HDMI, VGA, name it yourself. Whatever you can think of it also included.

It's come with Intel Core i7 Mobile and Window 7 Ultimate. Don't get cheat by the small speaker both on left and right. The sound is really great. I never seen such a great speaker from a laptop before.

Great touch buttons for entertainments! Just touch it! Glow in dark as well.

Come with full keyboard as well with the numeric keypad included. Comfortable to type.

Opps! Just ignore the PIRACY thing on the screen. I'm playing a dvd on it and just when it show the Piracy thing, I took the pic.

Here's the full spec if you really interested. Definitely worth it value. The only thing you will regret if you buy this laptop either is too big and heavy.

Nerves ~

I've been staying at home staring at my computers for so many days. My illustration pages is blank, my mind is blank. I don't know where to start and I don't know how. Every time the clock ticking, I feel the blood rush through my nerves. It freak me out. I runs out of idea. Due date is near and I couldn't afford fail myself again. I just want to finish my work and get the life out of this miserable place.

Alone sitting at the balcony outside my room, I suck in the smoke from the cigarette into my lungs. It pollute me but it is the only way to calm down my waving mind. Remind me of the time when I work in the clubs. I used to stand in the cold, taking cigarettes after another, waiting for peoples. When I look more deep into the past, I still regret that I didn't appreciate my chance and I'm totally lost that time. My life totally fucked up since she entered my life and took away my soul. Those lies she told me..still deeply haunted my mind. I'm 16 that time. I'm just too weak and too naive to understand that time.. but now that is all my past.

I've been watching a lot movies lately. A lot I've watched for too many times but I still watching them, to keep my mind awake so I might get inspired. My page is still empty. I'm too tired to think now.. all I can do is have another good sleep and tomorrow might be another nightmares or something different. Whos know?

Got iPhone?

Yeap, everyone around me own an iPhone. What so great about it? I mean like, why everyone so keen to own it. This is my personal experience. When I first own an iPhone, I feel like this is a piece of crap. After that I sold it to my buddy cos he like it so much. That's what happen to my first generation iPhone. After a while I start to miss my iPhone. Its like an addict. Then my bro told me he bought a blackberry and left his iPhone 3G aside. That is how I got my 2nd iPhone and I'm still using it right now. To tell you the truth, first generation iPhone is really a piece of crap (sorry huat, I sold my crap to u).

With my iPhone 3G, I can online anywhere I like (when I'm at Melbourne ofcause). I got this Optus as my service line with its Turbo Charged plan. This plan is just perfectly pair with my iPhone. Everytime I recharge it gave me a lot of free data that I can use to online. Up until now, I got like 2.48Gb free data in my current credit. I mean like, how to gonna finish 2.48Gb with your phone. Everytime before the data finish, it is my time to reload again that's why I feel like I got unlimited data. iPhone got all sort of apps that you can use to online. Skype, facebook, youtube, msn, twitter, google, and a lot more I can use. First generation don't have 3G, so its crap phone for me cos I barely can online with it unless I got a wifi nearby.

Some people ask me, why I don't want to get the new iPhone 3Gs. I would tell them, hell no. iPhone 3G is enough for me unless they got the video call thing and the dual camera. I won't pay for another Au$ 850 just to get an iPhone with just a better speed and better camera. My current iPhone 3G barely lag so why I need to pay so much just for better speed and I will not take photo with my phone. Its crap camera and I got my Olympus Tough-8000 12mega pixel camera most of the time with me. Yet, I own Nikon D80 as well.

Another reason why my iPhone is so fun. Its because of the games. iPhone got so much fun game in it especially this one, my favourite "geoDefense" and now they released a new one "geoDefense Swamp". If anyone out there own an iPhone and you are tower defense fans, you definitely want to buy this apps. I can say, no phone out there in the market can match with iPhone in terms of application. Some phone might have better camera, better gps, better interface, better usability, but iPhone totally own every phone out there with the apps. If you own an iPhone, it is just like you own a "Mini" computer.

The person who suggest Apple to release this "iPhone Application Developer Kits" is a genius. This software enable everyone out there, in both os window or mac, they can get this software and start design and build an apps for iPhone. I mean like anyone with the basic knowledge of programming. If you are very good with Adobe Flash Action Scripts 3.0, I dare to say, it will only took a while to figure out how to make an apps for iPhone. I consider myself not a pro in Action Scripts 3.0 but belong to the stage between rookie and pro. I played with iPhone Apps Developer Kits before and it is not that hard to use.

After I graduated from uni, I will want to make some apps for iPhone. It is the easiest way to earn money. I mean like, there are million of people owning iPhone, if your apps can sell just for US$1, and 1k user bought it, you already earn US$1k. That if only 0.1% buying your apps. If you make a really good apps, don't say 0.1%, there might be 10 or even 50% people will buy your apps. The good thing about it, you can work on it anytime, anywhere you want and you don't have due date.

and that's it. That's is all for my review on Apple iPhone.

Last, I would like to wish my buddy UNG NGEE HUAT, Happy Birthday and wishing you earn more money (I know money is the only thing that drive u now). Cheers!

My Presentation - big mess but overall it turn out quite good

After lunching the Not A Tomato "Alternate Reality Game" for several weeks, it is finally ended. If you enter the website now, it will only show the Hall of Fame page that display those artwork created by our fans :)

So the final presentation to conclude everything. I think I really mess up the whole presentation cos I forgotten what I had to say. Its really shame. I'm gonna show u my part

I never get a rehearsal and I only got my script on the day of presentation which mean I need to memorise the whole script in few hours time. I manage to memorise them all but when I got up there.. I forget everything lol. Well that's all I'm gonna show you about the presentation. Its 1 hour presentation but I just took my part out to show it here enjoy and laugh all you want =.="

Last week I bought a toy "Remote Control Car". I bought this toy cos I wanted to use it as my references for my 3D works. The words on the package "Drift" attracted me so I bought it lol but most important is that this is a RX-7 ^^ and yea I ordered it from Japan Ebay and its not that expensive.

This toy car actually remind me of the "Tamiya" that I used to play during my primary school or during form 1 and form 2 I think. I wasted a lot of money into it but last last I sell everything also. This RX-7 come with the parts only. I assemble the whole thing myself including the body, side mirror, the GT-Wings etc etc. Inside the motors, rims the tiny parts, gear.. everything I have to assemble it myself. It is actually not well fitted and some of the part I have to cut it and sand it before I can put it together and here is the final look of the car.



I think the paint is not nice enough so I think I will do some paint job on it some other time. This car actually drift and I found this video on youtube and its exactly what I am owning now lol

Friday once again! ~Power of Photoshop~

Its been a great week even though I'm busy to hell. Done a lot of thing lately that make myself proud of it. Hopefully everything will be this smooth till the rest of my life haha..how naive.

Here I'm gonna show you the power tools that i've been using a lot lately, from digital painting to photo editing. My digital painting (for my animation background) haven't quite finish yet so I'm not going to show it here but soon. Below I will show you the photo of myself that I photoshop it.

Before

and After

Even though I used some spot light here but you can see the photo is pale and yellow cos of the light. Even my look also pale before the photo was edited. Forget about the words now, look on the colour of my skin and also my rough face and dimmed light. I can say, you can almost do anything with photoshop. That's the power of it. Before and after editing really a lot of different. That's why nowaday if you see beautiful model in magazine or poster or any print media, u minus 30-40% of the look in the print that's is the true look of them. Even if you have fat arms and legs, I can use photoshop help u become skinny and sexy. Imagine what Ngee Huat will look like if he is skinny. I will definitely try that when I'm free..someday haha.

Alright story with photoshop end here. I'll tell you the story of me and my face here. When I'm in high school, for some reason I got whole face full of pimples. I went to see doctor and they said its because of my gene and my blood that's why my skin is terrible. Then slowly it heals cos I eat those medi the doctor gave me plus a product name "Clean & Clear" helped me a lot. After few years my face heals but the scars all over my face. There's a lot of people told me that I can heal those scar on my face. I was thinking why should I do that. I know the scar will make me look terrible but I still don't wish to heal my scar. I just don't know why. May be I'm more man this way haha..look at my father, the scar on his face is much much greater than mine but he is one of the greatest businessman I ever seen in my life. I swear! From zero to millionaire and to zero again and now here he is again. Sometimes I feel like if I compare to my dad I'm only 30% of him. He is smarter than me, he is hardworking than me, and he is so tough. You can see, I'm born into a very tough family. Few of you here might have the experience like I do but both of my parents also so good in making money. They have their own path, have their own business, have their own income, but we are one family. That's the greatest thing. My mum used to be really professional businesswoman but she is retire now. My dad not same, he told me he want to work till 70s. OMG! That's why I told myself I got to learn everything about business from my dad..from the scratch. Enough of the crap here.
