Woot!!!!

I'm so glad that this is my last week of training. Officially, training should have ended last Friday but during the interview, I thought it was a full 2 months so I agreed to work from 1st July to 31st August =.=" . At least I'm getting triple pay for working on the 31st. I wanted to claim my PH on that day but my manager said that they're paying us triple pay so we cannot take off. He told me if i really want, he could put my off day on Sunday meaning I lose my triple pay on that day. Oh well, if I can't get my PH on that day, might as well work. I just hope it's not going to be busy ><"

iPod Touch

Lol, I bought this iPod 52 days ago from an Apple authorized reseller. I enquired at a few places and non Apple resellers were selling it at about RM1300. I bought it at the Apple reseller coz I had an attractive deal. RM 1399 for an iPod with a speaker worth bout RM250 and a silicone casing whereas the other ones were mostly RM1300 for iPod and casing.

Anyway, the iPod Touch is a damn freaking advanced piece of technology. Right now I only have access to half of it's potential coz: I can't install apps. Apple has an update that improves the iTouch and enables apps to be installed BUT for a fee of about USD 15 -.- . What really pisses me off is that iPod Touchs produced after 1st July comes with that update with the same Apple price, a few days after I bought mine ><"""". I have the option of hacking the iTouch but it might damage the iPod and might void the warranty. After hacking u can install lots of apps and I heard that u can install a GBA emulator in the iPod. Imagine playing GBA games on the iPod :P . Instead of installing apps, the iTouch uses web apps which is basically browser based applications which requires wifi most of the time which is a bad thing. Some however, such as a web app that I'm using that enables me to read eBooks on the go, requires you to upload the file before you can access it offline(all you have to do is load it online in your browser before you go offline).

What really like bout the iPod is it's touch screen. It's damn nice. Other touch screen devices require a stylus to be accurate, but the iTouch doesn't. I think it detects the heat distribution or smth like that. So far battery life lasts quite long for me. Maybe that's coz I switch off wifi whenever I'm not using it. However, when using wifi the battery drains fast. Another thing is that it can display any website(unlike my cacated psp browser :P) except those which require flash. There are rumors that Adobe is going to write a Flash player specifically for the iTouch and iPhone without Steve Jobs approval. They approached him b4 but he refused for unknown reasons.

Right, I'm going to bed. Going to work at 11am today ><"""""""

iTouch

Working environment

Training can be quite tough .... particularly if there's plenty of
politics here and there. So far I'm unaffected but I'll never know
when I'll be involved....

Btw, if you guys plan to work for Super Dining in the future, I
suggest you don't. They're bad employers. Sure they pay higher than
average but you'll have to marry them. Seriously. They're using us as
free labor too -.- . Friend is getting paid RM4.50 per hour and I'm
only getting RM500 basic per month...

Anyway, I wanna blog bout my iTouch next :P
