Review Gadget: Nokia Lumia 520

Hah...handphone rosak..rosak..dan rosak?? Asal org elok je call jadi miscall sbb takleh nk jwb pasal handphone dah hang..Aisey..tgh syok bergayut dgn tunang..tetiba phone jadi mute..adeh..ni nak marah ni..geram...grr..So, secara kesimpulannya handphone aku mmg dah weng..Sah takleh nk diselamatkan lagi. Nasib baik installment dah habis ko wat perangai..

Dulu aku pakai handphone Sony, biasalah..aku ni tgk jenama gak. Aku pakai Sony Live. Tapi, bila handphone rosak,aku terpikir gak nak beli handphone apa..so, aku start survey. Mostly kebanyakan org yg aku kenal lebih suka pakai Samsung aka "Samseng" dan jugak Iphone aka "I- Toll" . Jgn mare ek. Ni cuma gelaran peribadi aku jer. Disbbkan aku mmg tak suka nak ada brand yg sama dgn org lain, so, aku ingat nk beli handphone yg lain sket. So ..pilihan aku adalah dari Windows 8 phone. At first, aku tak tau ape kejadahnya Windows 8 phone ni. Cuma, rasa ingin tau tu mmg ada. Yela, asyik dok pakai smartphone android nak gak merasa processor lain lak. As a fresh start. I wanted to try something different.

Akhirnya, aku pilih Nokia Lumia 520. Terima kasih tak terhingga kepada cik tunang aku yg sudi nk belikan  handphone pilihan aku ni. :)

My review:

My first impression. Phone ni mmg menarik perhatian aku. Screen best, touch screen is very sleek, super sensitive dan sgt interaktif. Bagaikan komputer kecik di tgn.Chewah..*sheesh*  Overall, mmg sgt modern look dan aku suka wide tile screen dia. Nokia Lumia 520 ni macam entry phone utk version Windows 8 phone, so, most basic settings mmg ada diinstall dlm phone ni dan performance sgt ok dan puas hati.

Anyway, kat bwh ni aku senaraikan spesifikasi Nokia Lumia 520:

• 4.0-inch WVGA display
• Snapdragon S4 1GHz dual-core processor
• 512MB RAM
• 8GB internal storage, expandable up to 64GB via microSD card
• 5-megapixel rear camera
• Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G
• Windows Phone 8
• 1,420mAH battery
• 119.9 x 64 x 9.9 mm
• 124 grams

That's about the performance. So, kita tgk lak apa yg handphone ni leh buat.

Kamera:

Nokia Lumia 520 dilengkapi dgn 5 Megapixel camera type dan dilengkapi dgn digital lenses. So, for those yg seriously mmg suke tangkap gambar..download kat facebook, twitter, instagram...pape je lah..you might like what this phone offers. Selain tu, handphone ni jugak dilengkapi dgn application gorgeous such as CInemagraph, which you can make your own motion picture. Ala..macam gambar bergerak la. Nampak real gitu. Dan yg paling best, aplikasi Smart Shoot. Let's say korang tgkp gmbr dlm keadaan tak stabil gitu, aplikasi ni membolehkan korang edit gambar mana yg paling elok utk disimpan. 

Touch Screen:

Screen touch untuk Nokia Lumia 520 ni mmg super sensitive. Sgt. Sbb bila aku nk taip msg atau surfing rasa cam best jer telunjuk jari aku nk taip kat hnadphone ni. Bila scroll rasa smooth jer. Masa tunang aku beli handphone ni, SA yg jual tu ada bagi freegift dlm bentuk scroll pen. Tapi, aku rasa tak perlu kot scroll pen tu sbb aku pakai jari pun ok jer. Takde hal pun. Ni ikut keselesaan la. Lagi satu, even kalau kita pakai gloves sekalipun, still lagi touch screen dia boleh berfungsi dgn baik. Touch screen Nokia Lumia 520 ni dalam 4 inci. Besar tuh. Bila main game, best.

Music/Videos/Entertainment/Games:

Hmm...bila aku dah decide nak beli handphone ni, aku terlupa dgn satu benda yg mmg aku suka dgr setiap pagi. Radio. Handphone ni takde aplikasi FM radio lagi. Sbb ianya adalah Windows 8 phone. Tapi, mengikut apa yg aku check, diorg dah update aplikasi ni dan hasilnya..AMBER update. Aku tak try update lagi phone aku tuh ngn AMBER nih..tak sure samaada Msia dah ada update ni atau tak. Aku tak try lagi pon,...so nothing much that I can say.

Music- Sound ok. Sedap. Stereo

Videos - Tak try lagi masukkan apa2 video dlm handphone ni sbb baru je beli dan takde masa nak explore. Tapi, pernah try tgk trailer kat youtube yg HD. Gambar super clear. Nice.

Entertainment - Dari segi application, aku rasa smartphone android choices dia agak byk lagi la. Kira Android menang la dlm bab ni dari segi aplikasi. Probably because of Windows 8 phone still something new to most of us.

Games- Sama jugak mcm application, still androids rules. Tapi, windows 8 phone ni yg bestnyer kita leh download games untuk Xbox. But, you still got to pay for it. Tu yg maleh tuh. :( ..Ada sesetengah game jer yg free. Bygkan, nak main Angry bird Rio tu pun kena bayar. Dah kena byr, tapi version free trial. ceh. baik tak payah. Candy crush..lgsg tak nampak. Huh. Diorg still lagi provide for free games tapi mostly games yg aku tak berapa nk berkenan nak main la. But still, i got some few pretty good games though. After lots of searching. :)

Navigation/Maps:

Since aku bukan reti sgt nk tgk GPS mahupun peta, so, pada aku tak penting sgt la application ni. Tapi, for those who likes to travel, this might be a useful to you. Nokia Lumia 520 ni ada Here Drive function, dimana korang leh menuju destinasi  yg diingini menggunakan  aplikasi ni. Ussually kalau nk tgk map, mesti kena ada internet kan, ha, yg ni tak payah, sbb, korang still lagi leh guna aplikasi ni offline. Tapi , kena download dulu map dia sblm nak guna. Ikut jer instruction macam mana nk download. Even aku tak guna sgt features ni, aku tetap download gak application ni. :)

Windows Phone 8 Features:

I like interactive stuffs, which is why I prefer this phone in the first place. Macam aku ckp, first thing yg menarik perhatian aku pada handphone ni adalah tile screen settings dia. Again, very interactive. :) . Touch screen Nokia Lumia 520 ni korang leh customize sendiri. Just pin to start, pastu korang arranged la dekat screen tu macam mana ko nak. Setiap aplikasi dlm handphone ni korang boleh resize daripada kecil ke besar, lebar nak macam mana, etc. Selain tu, korang leh personalize phone tu dgn setiap fav photo's yg korang nak. Macam aku, aku linkkan Facebook friends aku dlm Photos so features ni akan keluar dekat screen. Mmg nice. Smart giler.

Selain dari tu, ada aplikasi Office, dimana korang leh edit atau buat keje menggunakan  Nokia Lumia 520 gak. Ada aplikasi Word dan Excel, so korang leh touch up keje korang kat memane jer.

Oh lupe nak gebang, Nokia Limia 520 ni jugak ada own Nokia collection of application, Antara collection fav aku adalah, Nokia Glam Me & Nokia Trailer. Nokia Glam Me ni function dia mcm nk edit gambar kita bagi lagi cantik gitu, dan Nokia Trailer plak, kita leh tgk trailer terbaru utk all upcoming movies.



And again, nothing is perfect. Even aku amaze ngn handphone ni, still, ada features yg patut ada utk sebuah smartphone, Nokia Lumia 520,takde. Details spt di bawah:

               - No front camera ( Camner nak Wechat live?? :(
               - Kamera takde flash ( Almaklum gambar yg diambil cantik, tapi, lagi best kalau ada flash)
               - RAM yg agak standard 512 MB (Oklah buat sebuah handphone budget)

Despite, whatever the reason, Nokia Lumia 520 telah dinobatkan sbg Best Selling Windows 8 phone dek kerana harganya yg murah dan berkualiti. Utk sebuah phone budget, all features yg diterapkan dlm handphone ni mmg berbaloi. Murah, Modern. Mesra Alam. :)

Hah..nak tau harga, Murah jer..Harga standard masa aku survey hari tu, dlm RM529. Tapi, tunang aku berjaya belikan original handphone ni berharga RM459. Siap dpt byk freebies lagi. Pelik tapi benar.

Review Filem ; Mortal Instruments : City Of Bones

Sapa dah tgk filem ni? Angkat tgn! Hehehe..best tak?

Minggu lepas aku agak free dan tetiba gatal nk tgk wyg especially if I’m having my own sweet free time. Kebetulan minggu lepas aku takde benda nak buat, tunang aku busy dgn exam dan kelas..so, aku pun membawa diri yg lara...huhuhu..no lah..just joking. Actually, mmg aku dah aim nk tgk citer ni especially bila aku layan trailer filem ni kat youtube. Nampak macam best, so nak try gi tgk la..

Kat bwh ni aku copy & paste jer summary for this movie. Sumber dari wikipedia:

In New York City, teenager Clary Fray (Lily Collins) begins seeing strange symbols, concerning her mother Jocelyn Fray (Lena Headey) and her mother's friend Luke Garroway (Aidan Turner). Later, while attending a nightclub with her best and only friend Simon Lewis (Robert Sheehan), Clary witnesses the murder of a man by the hands of Jace Wayland (Jamie Campbell Bower), whom only Clary appears to see. Meanwhile, Jocelyn is abducted by two men, Emil Pangborn (Kevin Durand) and Samuel Blackwell (Robert Maillet), and leaves a message for Clary warning her that someone named Valentine is coming after her, then drinks a potion that leaves her in a comatose state. Returning home, Clary is attacked by a demon and rescued by Jace, who reveals himself to be a Shadowhunter, a warrior trained to slay demons hidden on Earth, such as the man in the nightclub. Jocelyn was a Shadowhunter as well, and Clary has inherited her powers, including the ability to read runes.

Clary and Jace visit Clary's neighbor and friend of her mother, Madame Dorothea (C. C. H. Pounder), a witch who deduces that Pangborn and Blackwell are after the Mortal Cup, one of the three Mortal Instruments given to the first Shadowhunter by the Angel Raziel, that allows humans to become half-Angel. Simon, now able to see Jace, joins them as they leave to meet Luke in his bookstore. There, they discover that Luke is being interrogated by Pangborn and Blackwell, stating that he cares nothing for Jocelyn, and is after the Mortal Cup himself. The trio then escapes to the Shadowhunters' base of operations, the Institute, where Clary and Simon meet Jace's fellow Shadowhunters, Alec Lightwood (Kevin Zegers) and Isabelle Lightwood (Jemima West), and their leader, Hodge Starkweather (Jared Harris), who reveals that Pangborn and Blackwell are working for Valentine Morgenstern (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), an ex-Shadowhunter who betrayed the group and sought to steal the Mortal Cup for himself in order to gain control over all Shadowhunters and demons.

Believing the key to find the Mortal Cup lies within Clary's mind, Hodge instructs Jace to take Clary to the City of Bones, where fallen Shadowhunters are laid to rest, to meet Brother Jeremiah (Stephen R. Hart), a dead Shadowhunter that probes Clary's mind and learns of her connection to a powerful sorcerer, Magnus Bane (Godfrey Gao). Clary, Jace, Simon, Alec and Isabelle meet Magnus in a nightclub, where he reveals that Jocelyn hired him to block knowledge of the Shadowhunters from Clary's mind. Their conversation is interrupted when Simon is kidnapped by vampires, leading to a confrontation in a nearby hotel, in which the group is nearly killed before werewolves (that share a truce with the Shadowhunters) intervene and rescue them.

Back in the Institute, Clary falls in love with Jace while on a romantic evening with him in the institute's greenhouse, sharing a kiss. As they kiss the second time in front of her room, Simon interrupts them by opening the door, and shakily attempts to be humorous while tentatively confronting Clary about her relationship with the Shadowhunter. She responds that they "were just kissing", leading Jace to be confused and angered. Simon confesses to Clary that he loves her and always has. She is too shocked to respond, leaving the room and a heartbroken Simon.

Clary discovers that the Mortal Cup is hidden inside a tarot card painted by her mother, so the group returns to her apartment to retrieve it. There, they discover Madame Dorothea has been replaced by a demon sent to steal the Cup. It is killed by Simon and Jace after critically wounding Alec, while Clary retrieves the Mortal Cup.

The group returns to the Institute only to be betrayed by Hodge, who steals the Mortal Cup from Clary and summons Valentine Morgenstern. He reveals himself to be Clary's father and attempts to persuade her to join him, but she refuses and escapes with help from Luke, who is revealed to be a werewolf. Luke explains that Clary has a brother called Jonathan, and returns to the Institute with her and his pack to fight Valentine, who uses the Mortal Cup to open a portal and summon an army of demons to New York. Simon and Isabelle manage to close the portal with help from Hodge, who sees the error of his ways and sacrifices himself to kill Blackwell. Meanwhile, Magnus arrives to heal the injured Alec, and Luke kills Pangborn.

Clary and Jace fight Valentine, who reveals that they are siblings, and that Jace's real name is Jonathan. He once more attempts to convince them to join him, but they refuse again and push him through the portal with a false Mortal Cup, and after a brief struggle the portal is destroyed by Jace. Jocelyn is rescued but remains in an coma at the hospital, where she is reunited with Luke. Clary assures Simon that although she does not love him back, somebody will. Clary heads back home and uses her powers to repair the damage done to her apartment. Shortly thereafter, Jace appears and confesses that he needs her and wants her to come back with him to the Institute. Once she agrees to go with him, Jace affirms that he does not believe that they are siblings. Clary jumps on his motorcycle with him and they drive off to their destination.

Dah habis baca? So, what are your thoughts? Personally aku tgk citer ni because of Lily Collins attraction. Selain dari dia, aku tak kenal mana2 pelakon pun dlm citer ni. Kalau korang pernah tgk citer Abduction, lakonan mamat Taylor Lautner..ala yg jadi Jacob Black dlm Twilight, mesti korang kenal dgn Lily Collins ni. Dalam Mortal Instruments plak,..dia jadi lead actress. So far, she’s doing great a job. J

Dan..berbalik kepada jalan cerita movie ni plak, so far..eventhough genre movie ni, fiction, fantasy, adventure, takdelah adventurous sgt citer dia. Kebanyakan adventurous scene tu dah boleh agak dan takde benda yg baru sgt kecuali magik menggunakan ‘runes” tu jelah. Banyak makhluk2 dlm citer ni pun kita dah selalu tgk, contoh mcm vampire, werewolves, syaitan2 pelik (kononnya) yg pada aku bentuk tak rupe syaitan yg biasa kita tgk dlm movie hantu Melayu, kalau tgk citer hantu melayu kita takut, tp dlm movie ni, biase jer..takde menakutkan sgt..Cuma Nampak ganas dan furious je lah. Sumernya CGI.

 Jalan cerita average. Dah banyak kali ulang, Love story..kureng. Kononnya si Clary (Lily Collins) ni suke kat Jace (Jamie Campbell Bower), tapi nk dijadikan sadisnya adik beradik..mengikut cerita bapak kandung diorg yg takde tokoh jadi bapak pun. The love angst is not there. I mean, frustration bila dapat tau kita suke atau jatuh cinta pada kakak atau abang sendiri  tu tak dirasai sgt la..ish..sgt sumbang muhrim..hihihi..

Overall, movie ni agak menghiburkan. Tak rugi duit wyg sgtla kalau korang nk tgk. Best lagi layan. Lakonan pun agak mantap, especially from Lily Collins.  Cuma bila aku tgk citer ni byk jalan cerita dia yg tergantung. Antaranya;

1-    Masa bapak kandung si Clary ni bekukan  portal yg boleh travel ke tempat2 yg lain, dia stuck dlm portal tu, dan akhirnya portal tu pecah. Bila pecah, the whole place was surrounded by snow dan bapak Clary takde. Dah mati ke blum org tua tu??

2-    Magnus Bane – Ada scene di mana kawan Jace dicederakan syaitan semasa diorg pergi ke rumah Clary. Entah macam mana mamat Magnus Bane ni muncul dan rawat si polan tu ha...tapi until end of the story aku tak tau apa jadi dgn mamat tuh. Boleh diselamatkan ke atau dah KO?? Magnus Bane sampai habis cerita tak tau gi mana..hihihihi..

3-    Apa jadi dgn Simon dan Isabelle yg cuba nk tutup kubah institusi dari gagak2 syaitan yg masuk dlm institusi tu? Tak tau apa jadi.

4-    Scene ending..Clary balik umah kemas2 umah dia yg dah separuh hancur menggunakan “runes” then lepas tu Jace dtg..ckp2..ajak Clary ikut dia..pastu..naik motor..habis..the end. What the hell?

5-    Byk jalan cerita yg dah boleh diagak. Contoh, masa scene Clary nk kelentong bapak dia dan tendang dia msuk ke dlm portal. Bapak si Clary ni pun satu gak. Kata syaitan kelas satu, tapi anak sendiri kencing ko tak tau...hohohoho

The movie was ok. Actually kalau dibuat dgn lebih baik maybe it could come out better. I love the cast, the scene and storyline, but..There is an X-Factor missing. Entahlah..aku reti tgk jer..nak ckp bak pengarahan ni tak reti den..Originaliti utk movie ni tak rasa sgt, padahal, movie ni diadaptasi dari best selling novel.

Dgr citer..movie ni akan ada sequel. City of Ashes. City of Bones adalah dari buku yg pertama. Dlm ura2 nk wat sequel, dgr citer lain plak, produser nk cancel wat sequel..sbb tak leh nk hit kutipan box office. Macam2 la...

Rating aku. 3.5 . The end.

 

Congrats Lee Byung Hun & Lee Min Jung!!!

Yeay!! Aku baru je dpt tau yg my "Byung Hun Oppa" dan my "Min Jung Nona" just got married. Diorang officially got married on 10th August. Time Raya ketiga plak tuh..Yeyeyeye...excitednyer aku..^___^. Suke sgt dgn diorg ni..

Despite ramai giler yg nak sponsor Wedding of The Century couple ni, Perbelanjaan perkahwinan ni menggunakan sepenuhnya wang Lee Byung Hun sendiri. Aku mmg tabik spring la kat mamat ni,..Perkahwinan ni menelan belanja USD210,000.00 dan majlis di adakan di Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Aku mmg minat giler dgn Lee Byung Hun. First drama yg aku tgk dan kenal mamat ni adalah "IRIS" . Actually kawan aku yg chinese yg recommended tgk drama ni sbb dia pun tau aku ni kaki tgk drama Korea ngn Jepun. So, mmg tak rugi ar recommendation dia..Lepas IRIS, berkotak2 drama lakonan Lee Byung Hun ni aku tgk, antara drama fav aku adalah All In, Beautiful Life dan IRIS la. Lee Byung Hun jgk dikenali di Hollywood, mamat ni la yg jadi Storm Shadow dlm G.I.Joe dan sequel dia, G.I.Joe : Retaliation. Selain dari tu, dia jgk antara big stars yg berlakon dlm "Red 2". I really like him as an actor because he got this natural talent and attraction gitu. Biarpun dia sgt famous tapi still the sense of down to earth tu masih ada.

Lee Min Jung plak aku suka dia sbb dia ni mmg comel!! ^__^. Sesuai sgt la dgn Lee Byung Hun yg macho dan hensem tu ha. Antara drama dia yg aku tgk "BIG " dan "Boys Over Flower". Lee Min Jung ni cute sgt!! Pada aku la..Even dah 31 tahun, still muka maintain comey..baby face gitu.

Anyway, congratulations to both of them for their wedding!! Kat bwh ni aku spam gambar mana yg aku dpt atau dgn kata lain aku cilok kat google. :)
