A Knock to Remember!

It's that time of the year again to be ever generous in your givings but at the same time to enjoy time with your friends. Students from Taylors College is organising an event themed "A Knock to Remember" this coming weekend at the Apartments Downtown KLCC to raise funds for one of the shelter homes founded by Shelter Home.

Project KNOCK’s Empowering Urban Youth is a project organized by the KNOCKers. This project advocates awareness and understanding of the state these youths are in.

The students of this program aims to heighten awareness amongst other college students and young working adults regarding these youths and at the same time, raise enough funds to purchase better books and other equipments needed for these youths.

A couple of events were held to raise funds and awareness regarding the purpose and objectives about this project. Just to name a few, events such as the Mini K.O (Knocked Out) which was held to raise funds through the selling of food and beverages, KNOCK T-shirts and various games were held whilst voluntary donations were held at the same time. Awareness was created outside campus which is around the area of SS15 and class to class publicity where candies are sold to raise funds at the same time.

Just the other day, i was at TCPJ - attending the Mini K.O session! I tell you, these bunch are great! Wanna experience an event truly organised by students for students? Come on over this weekend!!!

Can't find the right perfume 4U? FRET NOT!!!

HUGO ENERGISE can be THE-ONE 4 U!**
I was walking down an alley on one fine Sunday and saw this graffiti on a wall, spray painted by "TheSuperSunday" about Hugo Energise, a limited spray edition of one of the many ranges of HUGO fragrances in the market.

What i'm impressed about is that this graffiti on the wall kinda made me wanna try out the new limited edition spray by HUGO "Energise". Few days later i headed to MidValley Megamall - the usual place that i always go to check out new stuffs! And there it was, the HUGO "Energise" on the counter for me to try.

Now, let me tell you something about me - YES i am a fragrance lover! I love changing perfumes almost every month! Doing so can be a pain in your pocket - that's because i am trying to find the RIGHT perfume for myself.

You see, everyone has different reactions to various different perfumes. Most of the time there are 2 or 3 different kinds of people's reaction to fragrances. A - either your skin will react to the perfume and let off a great smell for a few hours, B - your skin will not really react to the perfume and the smell is only there for a short while, C - You don't really do well with most "general" kind of perfumes, but on occasions certain perfumes are GREAT for you and stays on for long but hard to find.

For me, i fall in the C category - where not all kinds of perfumes would smell great on me and the smell wouldn't really actually stay for that long, or not even long at all (we're talking a bout 1-2 hours max). FINALLY - I found the right perfume for me, HUGO "Energise", it smells nice, it stays on me for quite a long time and it emits the smell that really makes other people ask "hey, what perfume are you wearing now?"

Haha...really, that was what happened to me a couple of times at the office, at the AEON shopping mall in KLANG (i was asked by a worker at FOS - when i tried out some of the clothes there! yes... she can smell me far!). Feeling noticed is one thing, but feeling better in the inside is another! I felt much more confident this time around with my HUGO "Energise"!

My experience, i'd recommend those who have a hard time finding perfumes that would smell good on them and would actually stay on them for long to try out HUGO "Energise", i know it can be a pain to try out every single perfume in the market! But this time around - i think we just hit the jackpot! For me - this is one of my TOP3 fragrances for Year 2007/08.

- Inspired by the Irreverent World of the Urban Male -

Gadget|boy Shaz! >> Microsoft Lifecam VX-7000

I am truly a gadget person! I just bought myself a new webcam!!! Hahaha...and a mouse too!

When it comes to latest products and getting the best of the best, its a must for me to get it. Recently i laid my hands on one of Microsoft's latest web cams and a bluetooth wireless laser mouse. For today i would really like to share with you my readers about my awesome webcam!

At first glance by the window of this IT accessories shop in Plaza Low Yat, i saw a bunch of webcams, various diffferent brands, sizes, heights and even colors. But what stands out was Microsoft's Lifecam VX-7000, which was like as if it was love at first sight. It has all what i need, yes when i say that i really mean it in terms of applications, tools, design, flexibility and compatibility. That's what important for me and yes not forgetting the color! For some people color is not a biggie, but for me it must mix and match well with my hardware.

The price-tag on this marvelous piece of equipment is < $RM 300 (below). I'm glad you want to know what are you paying for! (You get what you pay for!!!)...

• Features @ Microsoft Lifecam VX-7000
  • Optimized for Windows LIVE Messenger
  • 2.0 Megapixel Sensor
  • Universal Attachment Base
  • Built-in Microphone
  • Crystal-clear Audio
  • Glass Element Lens

1. It's compact and able to take up any form or position on any monitor / laptop.
   
   
2. Rankings:
   
   + Points
   

• Picture Quality for Video Calls - 8/10
• Audio Quality for Video Calls - 8/10
• Design, Flexibility and Usage - 9/10

• The web-cam's head can only rotate 45' up or down, i only wish it can rotate 90' up down and sideways like my previous web-cam, but all in all it's a good hardware that produces clear images! Yes i tested it with my friend via Windows LIVE Messenger.
  
  
• I've tested the camera and and compared to other sites and friends who did a review on this hardware, they mentioned that if the camera's resolution is set to anything above 640x480, the images get kinda "choppy". But then again do you really use that big of a resolution all the time for msn or even YOUtube?
  

• It's an awesome piece of hardware, definitely beats my integrated webcam on my laptop and my previous desktop webcam. My first Microsoft LIFECAM and i'm beginning to like it. It's designed to catch the eye of those who are using flat panel monitors or even laptops! Yesss yess we all know the integrated webcams are usually not the best ones to use! So yea, go get yourself this nice piece! The Microsoft Lifecam VX-7000 is the way to go!
  

The Lifecam VX-7000

If you're a MSN user (Windows LIVE Messenger), blogger (especially who loves taking pictures in your room), or a YOUtube kinda person (who loves making videos of you playing the guitar or making a comedy! then the Microsoft LIFECAM VX-7000 is your next big thing that goes together with your computer! With its 2 mega-pixel camera, crisp clear sound, it's bound to impress not only your friends but those who are viewing you!

The webcam comes in a simple box with everything that you need to get started - the CD installs the software, as for the stand for the cam - this piece doesn't need one as it comes with a hinge-like stand that allows you to put it onto your laptop or LCD flat panel. Afraid that it might slip on a desk? No worries lah... the base is rubberized.

Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 comes with an application software that allows you to transfer video, photo-swap, and do a whole lot of things with ease. Talking about getting applications for you to do your stuffs... this time around the applications does it for you.

The application also has some cool funky designs that can be applied onto your cam screen whilst on a video call with your friend. Yes, try putting a parrot on your screen! Your friend would probably think that there's a bird in your room. Change the atmosphere, the weather...its all customizable.

Many people wants clean clear sound be transmitted to their friends! Ease of use without having to put on a headset microphone is way too cool. Imagine you sitting down at Starbucks and wearing a headset on you and look like an operator answering phone calls. With the LifeCam VX-7000 you can do so by just talking to your friend by looking at the screen and the LifeCam will capture your voice and transmit clean sound to the recipient. Now that's TECHNOLOGY for you! What else can you ask for other than sound, cool design, cool application, 2 MegaPixel camera... It's your choice!
