Today I’ll be talking about something that went REALLY HOT on facebook these days, about the news of a youth who committed suicide because his girlfriend broke up with him.

Okay, once again… Facebook took part in someone’s affair…

For those who have no idea on this issue – a short news report here. Read more HERE.

Before he jump from the 14th floor of an apartment, he left his last message on facebook. Fellow netizens tried to persuade him not to do so but he still…

After his death, he became so famous on facebook. You could find all sorts of R.I.P. pages for him, even named him as “Romeo of the East”. Not to forget the hater pages, those who criticizes his wrongdoing.

I have no idea what are those people thinking by branding he as a hero, furthermore, trying to promote his case to others by spamming the fb wall with his related news/videos/notes… Some even commented that he’s such a romanticist for doing so.

Bullsh!t, his action is such a bad example for the society, especially for those whose currently facing the same problem right now.

To everyone out there, committing suicide is not the solution.

You decide to end your life for a girl? You might think that jumping off a building is easy for you, but have you ever think of your closed ones? Your parents? Your relatives? Your friends? and most important, your girlfriend?

Oh yeah, don’t forget the paramedics and other emergency bodies. You just made their job nastier, instead of saving accident victims.

Btw, for fellow netizens out there, stop linking this kind of negative news anymore. Internet is such a scary propaganda tool, are you trying to start a mass suicide case?

Anime Festival Asia 2010 Date Set   4 comments

AFA X

The date and venue is set for AFA X.

13-14th November 2010 at Singapore Suntec Convention and Exhibition Hall 403 & 404.

Oh gawd… I want to go for this event. So far, I only recruited one of my friend to go along with me. Anyone going??

This could be my second time to travel oversea, and my very first time to step on the land of Singapore.

Need to ask my parents for more details on this matter…

Worst case – that time is somewhere around my mid term… means, mid term papers and assignments are rushing in… seriously please don’t happen…

If everything works out, lets have a meet up at there =)

Panasonic Lumix LX5 Coming Soon   1 comment

DMC-LX5

After 2 years, here comes the next generation of LX series high-end compact camera.

However no much changes from it’s predecessor, the al-mighty LX3.

Here’s some rough specs of the camera:

10.1 Megapixels
Leica Summicron 3.8x optical zoom
F2.0 – 8.0 / F3.3 – 8.0
ISO 80 – 12800
720p video recording

Well, not much changes if compared with my beloved LX-chan (LX3). But that 3.8x zoom is a plus…

Head over the source link for more information about the camera.

Apple’s Next Gen iPhone   Leave a comment

nextgeneration-1000x210

Gizmodo had their exclusive preview of Apple’s next generation iPhone.

It has new designs and I personally thinks that it looks way more better and sturdier than the current iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS.

Tear down of the iPhone also reveals its newly designed components, smaller logic board & larger battery.
