Bing vs Google???

Bing(www.bing.com), the latest search engine announced by Microsoft (previously known as Live search, Windows Live Search, or MSN search) in order to compete with the KING of search engine Google!!! What is more, Bing will soon become the search provider for Yahoo in the next 10 years, meaning that Bing already enter the 2nd rank market share in search engine, but still long way to go to compete with Google!

Personally, Google has already become part of our habit while surfing on the net... People will say "jz google it and you'll get what u want", "google it for more information", bla bla bla, and it's really hard for Bing to turn this over in short period. At least it sounds weird when I said "try Bing it instead of Google it" to my friends!!! haha..... What a shock, some even dunno what Bing is !!!

Recently I was quite busy with my assignments, and I did make some comparison between Google and Bing. As usual, google will give u the information needed with jz a click without a mess!!! But recently some article stated that Bing is more than a search engine, and they called it decision engine!!! So, lets have a try on both search engines to see how it differ..... I try to search for the same information on google and bing, and of course, Google will as usual be proud to show that few milions results in less than 1 second, but for Bing, the way they present the information is more tidy and informative. Personally I like the tool-tip feature which will show u the synopsis of the search results once u point the cursur on the right side. There is no need to go to another website it is relevent o not as in Google!!! On the left side, there is some collection on related links, which would help in making decisions. This is why they call it the decisions engine instead of search engine!!! This is how it looks like:


One thing for sure is for few years to come Google will still dominate the market share, but Bing will soon gaining more and more market shares in future in which will soon becoming a threat to Google!!! With the search battle going on, internet users will get benefits from it as search engine will be facing a revolutionary era soon from my point of view!!!

Portable Wheelchair Assignment


It's 7 in the morning and guess what, I just completed my wheelchair assignment 3D Solidwork Rendering and Report!!! Still not feeling to sleep so decided to post a blog first....

Credit will be given to Chen Yao Qing for sure as without his help I would not have completed this in time. Thx for the guidance on Photo View rendering software.... Here's few picture after my editting for the Solid work drawing:


this is how does the wheel chair looks like
With detachable cushion so can be used in toilet as well

This is the 1st rendering done by me

Foldable frame

meal table and adjustable height arm rest


footrest



Adjustable height wheel chair

Adjustable back rest as well

Of course this is just simple to be done and still can be improved. Yao Qing plz don't laugh at me when u see this as this is produced by a newbie in 3D rendering... haha...

Overall it's quite nice to do this rendering as it was not as hard as I think before. But, one thing for sure is your PC must be powerful enough in order to run this smoothly!!! Even my newly bought i7 processor also have to wait for few seconds to respond and when Photo View rendering my image, 100% full usage of 4 cores 8 threads!!!!! What the heck coz I never thought of my proc can be fullly utilize since the first day i bought it... Luckily I'm engineering student but not designer students... Otherwise I would hv to change my pc frequently... lolx....

Shopping Spree!!

Mega Sales is back!!! Yeap, for sure I'm not going to miss this chance to grab some stuff for myself althought I'm quite broke recently... haha....

My shopping spree began when I was on the way back to Melati Utama, I decided to shop around in Mid Valley to look for some cheap stuff perhaps!!! So went to Soda, Nike, Top Shop, Esprit, Giordano, Addidas, Banana Peel, Quiksilver, and bla bla bla... Grabbed some shirts and short pants in Mid Valley, then I deciced to head on The Gardens seeking for cheap sneakers....

Surprisingly, Nike there offer a great deal for MainDraw series, and I decided to buy it since my shoe is dying due to fatigue stress!!! Of course, I did prefer some new arrival by Nike and Adidas but due to budget limitation, at last I go for Nike Main Draw!!


Overall it looks great, jz the white colour will not last for even a day after I'm wearing it.

This leather sneakers cost me RM149, which I think is quite a good deal comparing those expensive new arrival stuff. On the way back, I found a shop named Banana Peel, which is a new brand in Malaysia. They sell slippers, from low range, mid range, to high range all could be found in that shop. However not all designs come with the size u want, so after choosing for some time, decided to take this:



This cost me RM29 and it's quite comfortable and the design look good too... But my heart is still on another pair which come with anti slip function which I think is quite special for slippers. However, they only have size of 11 and above for tat!! WTF... For more details on this brand, log on to www.bananapeel.net.

So that the end and I've spent 1 and half hour for that!! Shit, going to be a shopaholic soon as compare to girls!!! Gotta really control my spending from now on coz I'm going for Internship this coming holidays and only get pay RM500/month!!! Haiz... Perhaps have to watch "Confession of a Shopaholic" more often from now on!!! lolx...

Primary Gathering + Alvin Farewell @ Delicious Marc Residence

It's been a long time since the last gathering, I guess it was few months ago if not mistaken. This time the gathering seems to be quite succesful coz it was the biggest gathering in terms of attendences ever since... Appreciate those who attended and for those who miss it, hope to see u all in next gathering.
The gathring was held in Delicious @ Marc Residence, Jalan Pinang. Personally I'll rate 9/10 overall for the restaurant as the food is nice, design also not bad, mostly important the environment inside is really mesmerizing....

Picture above were the members attended but it was supposed to be more, gotta get the rest of the pic from my friends ASAP. It was a meaningful night, everyone was chilled, enjoyed, and recap our memories during primary school. As time passes by, things had changed alot, but our friendship still last long till now, and I bet not much ppl could have achieved this. Erm, personally I was quite satisfied with this gathering, although some might rated it -5 out of 10 marks!!! wahaha... Anyway, tribute has to be given to Benedict and Alvin for planning this out, or else I don't think we would not gather in such a manner. However, our taiko Alvin is going to Taxas, USA to pursue his degree on next wednesday. This is going to be a huge loss for us as previously he was the one who always organize the gathering, to make sure that we always keep in touch with each others. Yesterday he did mention that he was looking a predecessor to continue his job also!!! haha... Really appretiate this friend a lot, knowing him since standard 2 till now, he's always a kind hearted, caring, and well-organize buddy, and it was my pleasure to get to know this friend!! What to do, this is life, and life still have to go on even though things have changes, and personally I really wish him all the best for his future, jz always remember all of us and don't forget to come back Malaysia wor!!! haha...

2nd left front row is Alvin together with his sweet hearted Kimberly. I wonder when we could take picture with Alvin again... haha...

Erm, after the gathering @ Delicious, we head on to Poppy Garden for 2nd round. This could be historic moment as last night was the first time for Alvin to go club!!! I bet he was forced to go before going abroad.... haha... Not all of them attended 2nd round as some gotta rush back home respectively for some reasons, but we still manage to get around 15 for the 2nd round. Most of us enjoyed the 2nd round although Alvin seemed a bit not comfortable inside there... lol...
Guys gang in d club!!

Our leng luis in d club....

So that's d rep up of our gathering for this session. Nobody knows when the next is going to be, but one thing for sure is the gathering must going on even though without Alvin in the next 2 years!! I think I'll be the one who will call out for gathering perhaps if nobody going to organize it... Sincerely from the bottom of my heart, wishing everything going smooth for Alvin's new life @ Taxas, and our friendship will last till the end.
