Nokia N97 .

Hey guys ! I've got a new handphone ! The all new Nokia N97 and i shall be reviewing it for all of you guys today .



First of all , i would like to express my feelings for having to own one of this amazing gadget . To me this would be the best phone that i will ever own for now , it has everything under a small little gadget . From style to functions , this small little handphone has become the next big thing for Nokia .


The first thing you will notice about this model is what Nokia officials call a “sliding-tilt” phone. This means that you push one side forward and it tilts up to give you that mini-desktop look and feel, which I personally think is excellent for all kinds of situations. This is actually my first time using a Qwerty phone , and to be honest with you guys i'm actually getting the hang of it .

This particular keyboard is a tad small for my big fingers but after a few days I was typing quite fluently. Beyond the Qwerty keyboard, the sole traditional button is the silver menu button. Side buttons include a lock button, volume control and camera toggle.



I was a little concerned about the wear and tear with the sliding-tilt hinge. Nokia have said that the hinge is made out of extremely sturdy ­material and that the phone has passed vigorous performance and drop tests. I can say that it has passed my own accidental drop tests and the hinge does look and feel pretty strong.

The resistive touch technology coupled with Nokia’s software makes for a very elegant combination. Navigating is by no means second nature, there are some hurdles in figuring out exactly how the web browser works.

Built for the Internet, the Nokia N97 ­allocates the majority of its ­touchable home screen to movable and ­customisable widgets for quick access to your online needs.

Damai Laut Trip .

Hey everyone ! Today i'll be posting up a few pictures of my trip to Damai Laut , Lumut . I'd like to describe this place as a runaway resort vacation trip , it basically has everything you need in the resort . From restaurants to games to swimming to gym and snooker facilities and many many more . What's best is that the distance from the resort to pangkor island is actually preety near , a 20 minutes boat would actually get you there in no time .


A view from the hotel lobby .

We didn't actually have much time to explore the whole place . But we did some amazing stuff's like going over to pangkor for snokerling ( but to be honest with you , the water's really dark and dirty over there) and we also took a sunset boat ride from 5.30 to 7.30 . The view was amazing although on that day you could hardly see the sun setting down .

I'll let the pictures do the talking then . =D this is mainly for people who want's to have a holiday and not sure of where to go .. ENJOY !

It's me .

Another sunset view .

What we had for dinner the first night . A tip for you guys , resort's restaurant would cost you a bomb . If your driving then take my advice , just drive out for dinner or lunch because it's only like 25 minutes drive from the resort to town area . =D


It was too windy so i accidently ate her hair . xD


Honey and me in the boat .

Me and honey .

Yes we had mcdonald's for our lunch .

I love this picture .


So after the 3 days 2 nights trip , on our way back we actually had a last minute plan . First to kellie's castle and then to GENTING ! HAHA ..

And once again , enjoy the pictures !

Michael's Foosball Table .

Yes , a foosball table . My dear friend mr.michael chin actually bought a foosball table , well few days ago he actually asked me to help him carry the foosball table from his friend's house to his house ! That's because my car could fit the table ( we thought it would fit) .. So we went there at around 4.30 ++ to collect the table , but when we carried the lower part of the table down to my car . It fit's perfectly !! ( thank god) few more inches and it would have been a disaster .. But damm that table is heavy .. almost dislocated my hand again =D ..



We collected almost every part of the table for the first round etc : table , balls , rubber's and rods . Brought back to his house and one floor up we go with only the two of us . So we went back to his friend's house to collect the upper part of the table and stands too .. the second round was soooo much easier , table was super light and stands weight nothing at all .



There we have michael smilling over with the peace sign .



Michael's Dad Reaction : Why you put in your room ? Put in the hall la .. ( looks at me ) weird la he .. really weird ..

All the ingredients needed to play foosie . =D


We finished the job fixing and playing at 7.30 ++ .. Hope you enjoy the table bro ! Ohh and you'll be seeing me preety often too . lol !!

Lastly i'd like to apologize to all my followers for the sudden update stop .. I was kinda busy before this at work and i recently dislocated my right arm .. I will post up pictures of my X-Ray Dislocated Arm just for you guys to have a look . Take care and i hope all of you enjoyed your weekends !!

I Love You Choo Hwee Sann .

Honey this is for you .. all the pictures of what we have gone through for the past 2 months .. Honey i just wanna let you know that being with you for the past 2 months has been the happiest time of my life . Getting to know you was unexpected , falling for you was even more unexpected . But given the chance to show you my love , i would honey . I would give anything in this world just to be by your side and to see that smile on your face . No matter what the distance maybe , always remember that my heart belongs to you .

Cooler Master Slim X & Neo-E .

Hey guys !! Welcome again to another episode of TheLifeOfDerekLum , and todayyy....i will be talking about my new keyboard which i recently just bought from ALL IT ( Ikano Branch) . I would like to give my comments about this keyboard , because if this would help other ppl with their keyboard survey then i should share it with everyone .

Okay we'll start with the packaging , it comes together with a keyboard and a cool mouse too . First thing's first , to be honest the keyboard looks really cool because of it's really slim design . But with cool style comes with a price , IT"S REALLY HARD TO TYPE MAN !!! LOL .... it's because all the wordings are like flatttttttt ....really hard to type ! disliked it the minute i start typing...urgghhh... But for the mouse on the other hand , i would say it is usable ..not great , but usable .

I would've expect more from Cooler Master actually , because their quite famous actually when it comes to cooling stuff's , cooler pad's and lot's more . But their computer accesories totally turned me down man , i rather spent a little more and get a Razer keyboard . It's retail at the price of RM 89.00 , so if your planning to get this i would say NO ! . If you think you like this keyboard , i'm selling it off to anyone who want's it . You can negotiate the price with me if you want too , but please give me a reasonable price . Anyone who's interested can send me an e-mail to dereklum@dancom.com.my . Thank you guys !!!

Alright it is time for me to close this topic by saying thank you once again for reading my blog !! and i sincerely hope you guys enjoyed it !! I will see you guys in the next episode of TheLifeOfDerekLum , Goodnight and have a nice day everyone !!! If you have any enquiries or suggestion's , do send me a mail ! Much appreciated !
