1st Entry

Okay, this is my first entry of this blog.(forgive my lame-ness, its kinda of a mindset that this is an academic project, so it must be formal)
This blog is created for the reflective writing for my English for Law class.
Haha, just writing for the first entry make me thing of how the world have rapidly change (and still changing now thought).
Just thinking of the world now made me wonder how the people in the past can think the technology they created today?
They really are CREAT-ive!
Just look in past twenty years,in 1990, computer is a wow-wow thing back then,
even the typewriter make people wonders and grateful.
But just look at today's world, look how the world have changed.
Computer is a must-have appliances you must have in your home, office and \ANYWHERE.
I really mean it, nowadays, in my kampung, my traditional-biscuit (semperit, batang buruk and all kind of that yummy food) bakery have their own e-mail and you can do the reservation for Hari Raya by sending it to their e-mail. And guess what, they even use the PayPal. COOOOOL!!!
As I studying, oopsss, READING the law, the technology really help me a lot.
If I need to find certain cases, I just need to google it in the superb-duper-great website named Lexis-Nexis(zillion of kudos to the creator), I don't need to search it out in my BIG library and BIG book that contain lot of SMALL letters that make my eyes spinning. I really save a lot of time and energy thanks to the web. Lexis-Nexis, I'm soooooo in love with you!!!(don't tell my law lectures that I do this or else they will be killing me as actually I should find the cases in the journal, haha )
Technology is GREAT but then its also a pain-in-the-ass
A year ago, my father bought a Vertu phone in a website like the e-bay website.
He paid it and after a month, he received the great-for-nothing phone.
He proudly use the phone, but sadly after a month the phone broke.
A titanium-body Vertu broke after a month use!
So, my father called the seller.
The seller simply said read back the advertisement.
And when my father read it back, in the super-tiny font, it stated that the phone is only the prototype model.
So there is no warranty and whatsoever for the phone (also in the super-tiny font).
And after that, in his anger, he thrown out his one month Vertu out from the windows from our third floor apartment.
The point here is not that my father thrown thousands of his money to get the good-for-nothing phone,
but it show that with technology, cheating and fraud are everywhere!
So beware people, technology can be your best friend but great enemy.
Sugar is sweet and make us happy just to eat them, but when we ate it too much, we will get diabetes.
There always a shadow in light.
So people, use technology we have today wisely, and don't forget to be grateful to God!
last but not least,
HAVE A GOOD DAY!
