The Story of My Millions and I

Man United Are Going To Rome!

2009-05-05T17:46:00.000-07:00

What a game that was. United thumped the Gunners 3-1 away from home and booked a flight to Rome for the UEFA Champions League. That was definitely worth staying up for.

Ronaldo was in immaculate form as was Rooney. The defence also did splendidly to keep Adebayor and Persie at bay.

I feel terribly sorry for Fletcher though. Without a doubt, he earned himself the right to be at the finals by virtue of his hard word for the team. He was a force to be reckoned with in midfield.

I know what I wanna get sometime at the end of May. Flight tickets to Rome! Tickets to the UEFA Champions League Finals!

I wonder how much those will cost...

Wolverine Enthusiast: Too Much Time? Or Just A Big Fan?

2009-05-05T14:50:00.000-07:00

And I thought I went overboard when I asked my dad to carve out a lightsaber from wood.

This guy right here actually made himself a pair of functioning Wolverine claws. Too much free time? Or just a big Marvel Comics fan? You make the call.

The "claws" in action

Construction phases and a bit of a short demo in the end

Invisible Car, I Kid You Not

2009-05-05T02:49:00.000-07:00

An interesting piece of news I came across today. "Artists turns her old Skoda Fabia into an 'invisible car'!"

Check out the pictures.

Obviously, the car will only "appear invisible" at the right angles but still, it's pretty cool if you think about it. And the girl must have buckets full of talent to pull it off.

P.S No purchases from me lately. Revising for exams. Fret not, I'll be back with more extravagant than ever purchases soon! LOL.

The Segway Human Transporter!

2009-04-23T19:59:00.000-07:00

Let's see, I just had my breakfast and simply don't feel like going to work today. So what's an online millionaire to do? Ditch work.

I drive straight to the nearest ATM machine and check my account balance, just in case.

The small screen displays, RM 877,667,598.06. Okay then, we're good to go. Lets'go spend!

So what will my big purchase be today?

A Segway Human Transporter of course!

I can't begin to express how awesome a Segway Human Transporter is!

Just watch the video and be amazed!

It seems pretty easy to use. The Segway Human Transporter balances itself to keep you from falling off. Just that was enough to make me want one. These babies don't exactly retail at your local mall but you can get one at Amazon.com. Just follow the link.

Bear in mind though the link actually points to a used version of the i-model Segway Human Transporter. I would say that it's the most versatile in the whole line of Segways. This one supposedly does well on most terrains. It has a top speed of 12.5 mph (roughly around 20 km/h). And check this, it goes for 24 miles on a single charge.

So tell daddy you don't want that BMX bicycle for your birthday anymore. Segway's the way to go!

My First Purchase: The Nokia 5800 Xpress Music

2009-04-15T06:57:00.000-07:00

So I'm driving home from work today, my phone vibrates and makes an incredibly annoying sound.

Oh wait, that's not noise.

It IS my ringtone.

How can this be? An online millionaire shouldn't be using such a "classical" piece of communications tool. LOL.

Below is my current cellphone. Tragic I know. LOL.

So I make a detour from the freeway and head to nearest phone dealer I can think of. Ah, yes, lets go to Low Yat!

After a 30 second stroll past the entrance, one phone immediately caught my eye and made all things clear.

"Tauke, how much is this one?" I ask the vendor whilst pointing at my new shiny toy.

"Satu ribu tiga ratus ringgit boss (RM1,300 approx. USD 36O)," replied the young-ish looking boy. He should still be in school I reckon. Anyway, I came back to him with a "Ok. Saya angkat sebiji (Ok. I'll take one)."

Finally, I have it in my hands. Was just thinking about it just the other day. :)

So what do I think of it?

It's brillliant. For one, the screen is huge compared to my old phone (d'uh) and its touch screen for crying out loud! Didn't think I'd see the day that Nokia would come out with a touch screen mobile phone. In terms of looks, I don't have any qualms about it and it's very pleasing to eye indeed.

How connected does it keep me? Very. Browsing the internet on the go? Facebooking anytime and anywhere? Fantastic. We've got 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth etc. But wait, no infrared? No biggie. Don't really use it anyway.

In terms of sound, naturally being part of the Xpress Music collection, is excellente. The stereo speakers are pretty good and it comes with a standard size headphone port so you can listen to your favourite tunes using your favourite headphones.

One nifty thing about it that I can't keep harping about? The screen brightness adjusts itself to the surrounding lighting conditions!

One drawback for me though is that the Nokia 5800 comes with a stylus. Man, I'm bound to lose it in a day or two. LOL.

If you're not feeling like leaving home to purchase this phone, no worries, you can purchase one of these at Amazon.com.

My Millions and I, An Introduction

2009-04-14T06:50:00.000-07:00

We all wanna be rich and have all the money in the world to spend. Unfortunately, not many of us will have the opportunity to do so. And even if there is a glimmer of hope to wrangle in the millions, for some, it will take years upon years to achieve.

I'm one of those "unlucky" people. I'm bored of being jealous of other people, cruising in their M5s and jetting off to far away places as and when they please.

So today, I've decided to start living the life of a millionaire, online.

That's the beauty of cyberspace, you can be anything/anyone you want!

The sky is the limit.

Today onwards, here in cyberspace, I'm the richest 20-something year old guy in Malaysia.

Let's the journey begin.
