#397-Screwed Up My Blog 00:35
I screwed up my blog awhile ago by changing the theme. Now it's all messed up. I'm going to take care of this matter later today. For now, I just reverted back to a simple template.

#358-Happy 1st birthday, www.alexkhoo.net! 00:03
Time flies, eh? What started out as "This Is My Life Bitch", http://thisismylifebitchh.blogspot.com and went on to become "Alex Khoo's Blog", http://callmealexkhoo.blogspot.com and what is now known as www.alexkhoo.net in both URL and Blog Name is now one year old! I started my blog last year on the 19th of April and although I know it's a few days later (today's the 23rd), I was busy. I also started my blog just for fun after reading my most influential blogger, Nicholas Chan, and again, I can't believe it's a year old already! The custom domain name/URL isn't a year old yet, having only gotten it in November last year, but it's the whole blog and it's contents which count. Now it's a year old, I hope the content has improved since I first started and it's mostly photos and videos on my blog, not many personal thoughts (I'm not that kind of person who pours his/her heart out on his/her blog.

#334-Subjects I'm Taking. 13:41
As most of you might have known by now, I'm the London currently studying for my A-Levels. In short, I'm in college. Davies Laing and Dick college to be exact. I don't think I have mentioned about this before, but I just wanted to give an idea of what subjects I'm taking for my A-Levels.
Economics
By far, I like this subject the most. I like how the way it works and the concepts and such. I am taught by a guy with the name of Dave Dineen. Nice-typical-British-accent guy. I am taking Units 1 and 2 for the AS-Level, which is the first year, and Units 3 and 4 for the A2-Level, which is the second and final year.
Core Mathematics
As you know, I only like Modern Maths and not Add Maths. I would say this Core Maths is sort of like a combination between those 2 subjects. I kinda enjoy it too as I've come to learn the terms, equations, how to do it, and etc. etc. The teacher who is teaching me is called Richard Milner. Nice guy too! There are 6 modules in this subject, but I'm only taking 4 modules because I've combined this subject with Mechanics. So I'm taking C1, C2, C3 and C4.
Mechanics
I'm taking Mechanics as a supplementary to Core Maths. I can take Mechanics on it's own, but I don't really like Mechanics and I'm already taking Statistics (another Maths subject) on it's own and I don't want to take to get to many A-Levels in Maths. So instead of 6 Mechanics modules, I'm only taking 2 which is M1 and M2. My teacher is called David Quinn.
Statistics
I'm not really taking the exams this summer, because Statistics for A-Levels is actually a one year programme. I'm only taking the classes now to try and absorb in as many details as possible before actually starting the course next semester. I find it hard, but hopefully I can get along with it. Teachers name is Mojgan Esfahani.
Sociology
Purely crap subject, but I'm taking it for the sake of getting an extra credit for A-Levels. I find it both interesting and boring. Michelle Tyler is the name of my Sociology teacher.

#333-iPhone 3G availability in Malaysia. 00:57
On the 11th of July 2008, the iPhone 3G was released to the public for sale initially in some countries and later on to more countries in the world. Today (the 20th of March 2009) will see the release of the iPhone 3G in Malaysia. I'm not really sure what the situation is like in Malaysia now, as in whether anyone will be waiting outside a Maxis or Apple Premium Reseller Store waiting to buy it or not. But I know it will be launched today, as I got an e-mail from my local Premium Reseller, Switch about it. For the tariffs of the iPhone in Malaysia, I made a comparison between the one in Malaysia and the one in the UK in the previous post
ANYONE GOING TO BUY ONE IN MALAYSIA??
I'M INTERESTED INTO WHAT PLAN YOU GOT AND WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE IN BUYING ONE IN MALAYSIA.

#332-iPhone 3G tariffs in UK vs. Malaysia. 23:35
Alas, the iPhone 3G has finally landed on Malaysian shores, almost a year after it's release in July 2008. It's no point for me getting it in Malaysia, because here in the UK, the iPhone is much much cheaper and the price plans are better. But anyways, I just wanted to tell my readers about the iPhone 3G in Malaysia.
A brief insight into the UK pricing first. In the UK, the iPhone is available on the O2 network only and all the iPhone on contracts have 18-month plans. There are four plans to choose from which is;
1.) £30 (RM159.60) a month for 18-months.
The iPhone 8GB is £99 (RM526.68) and the 16GB goes for £159 (RM845.88).
For that price, you get 75 minutes and 125 texts, unlimited data and Wi-Fi, visual voicemail and reduced roaming rates.
2.) £35 (RM186.20) a month for 18-months.
The whole package is the same as the £30/month, just that one gets 600 minutes and 500 texts.
3.) £45 (RM239.40) a month for 18-months.
In this plan, the iPhone 8GB is FREE, and one is to pay £59 (RM313.88) for the 16GB.
You get 1200 minutes and 500 texts, unlimited data and Wi-Fi, visual voicemail and reduced roaming rates.
4.) £75 (RM399.00) a month for 18-months.
This plan sees both the 8GB and 16GB iPhones free, and the only other difference from the £35/month and £45/month plans is the 3000 minutes talktime. The rest is the same.
Alternatively in the UK, you can also get the iPhone on Pay & Go which to Malaysians is called pre-paid.
The 8GB retails for £342.50 (RM1822.10) and the 16GB retails for £391.45 (RM2082.51) and you get unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for the first 12-months of the iPhone purchase.
In Malaysia, the iPhone is available on the Maxis network in 6-month, 12-month and 24-month contract plans which are named Value Plus Plans, iValue Plans 12-months and iValue Plans 24-months respectively. In each contract plans, the are four categories to choose from.
Let's start with the 6-month contract plans or called the Value Plus Plans;
In all 6-month contract plans, the iPhone 8GB retails for RM2540 (£477.44) and the 16GB for RM2960 (£556.39) and one will get 500MB of data for the entire contract period.
1.) Value Plus 80
One pays RM80 (£15.04)/month for 6-months, 12 sens a minute for voice calls from Maxis-to-Maxis numbers and 15 sens a minute for voice calls from Maxis-to-non Maxis numbers.
2.) Value Plus 150
It is RM150 (£28.20)/month for 6-months, 10sens/minute for voice calls from Maxis-to-Maxis numbers and 12sens/minute for voice calls from Maxis-to-non Maxis numbers.
3.) Value Plus 250
It costs RM250 (£46.99)/month and it's 10sens/minute for all voice calls to mobile numbers, whether it's Maxis or not.
4.) Value Plus 500
It's the same 10sens/minute for all voice calls to mobile numbers regardless of network and one is to pay RM500 (£93.99)/month.
On to the iValue 12-month contract plans. There are four plans, iValue 1 to 4.
1.) iValue 1
It is RM100 (£18.80)/month, the iPhone 8GB costs RM1900 (£357.14), the 16GB RM2290 (£430.45), one will have 333 minutes, additional 15sens/minute for a call if exceeded 333 minutes, 500MB of data and it's 0.5sen/KB if the data usage exceeds 500MB. The texts are 10sens/text. A person also needs to pay RM200 (£37.59) in advance.
2.) iValue 2
It is RM155 (£29.14)/month, the iPhone 8GB retails for RM1780 (£334.59), the iPhone 16GB retails for RM2160 (£406.02). This plan gets you 667 minutes/month with an additional charge of 12sens/min if the limit is exceeded. The texts are 10sens/text. One gets 1GB of data/month, and will have to pay 0.5sen/KB for additional data. And the advance payment is RM200 (£37.59).
3.) iValue 3
It monthly commitment is RM250 (£46.99). The 8GB is RM1490 (£280.08) and the 16GB is RM1870 (£351.50). 1500 minutes a month, 10sens/text, 2GB of data a month, 10sens/minutes for additional calls out of the 1500 minutes, and 0.5sen/KB for additional data usage. One has to pay RM500 (£93.98) in advance.
4.) iValue 4
The price is RM375 (£70.49)/month, the 8GB costs RM1080 (£203.01) and the 16GB RM1470 (£276.32). One gets 2500 minutes, 10sen/text, and 3GB a month for data in this plan. The cost for additional minutes and data is the same as iValues 1, 2 and 3. RM1000 (£187.97) is the amount to pay for the advance payment.
iValue 24-month contract plans is the longest plan for the iPhone in Malaysia.
For all iValue 24-month plans, iValue 1-4, the number of minutes, the amount of data, the cost of additional minutes and data, and the price of a text is the same as the iValue 1-4 on 12-month plans. The monthly commitment prices are also the same.
The only differences are;
1.) iValue 1
iPhone 8GB - RM1510 (£283.83)
iPhone 16GB - RM 1890 (£355.26)
Advanced payment - RM 400 (£75.19)
2.) iValue 2
iPhone 8GB - RM1260 (£236.84)
iPhone 16GB - RM1640 (£308.27)
Advanced payment - RM620 (£116.54)
3.) iValue 3
iPhone 8GB - RM680 (£127.82)
iPhone 16GB - RM1060 (£199.25)
Advanced payment - RM1250 (£234.96)
4.) iValue 4
iPhone 8GB is free.
iPhone 16GB - RM260 (£48.87)
Advanced payment - RM2000 (£375.94)
All I can summarise from what you can see above is, the iPhone in the UK is more value-for-money than the one which will be going on sale in Malaysia today.

#325-My SPM Results. 12:47
Well, today was the day of the SPM results in Malaysia. I called my dad this morning as soon as I woke up to get my results. I passed all subjects which isn't too bad. From what I know, my mum and my brother went to pick it up from the school.
Here is a summary of my results;
English (A1)
Modern Mathematics (A1)
English for Science and Technology (B3)
Bahasa Malaysia (C5)
Pendidikan Moral (C6)
Additional Mathematics (D7)
Sejarah (E8)
Physics (E8)
Biology (E8)
Chemistry (E8)
Overall, I think I'm pretty satisfied with the results. I expected the 3 Sciences and Sejarah to get low results and my English and Modern Mathematics to get an A. What your results for those who took the exams last November?

#323-SPM results coming out tomorrow!! 14:27
Well guys, time does fly. Last November, most of the 17 year olds in Malaysia sat for the SPM examinations. Tomorrow, the 12th of March 2009 will be the results day where all the results will be announced. Anyone excited or not excited? Do leave a mumble or something in the chatterbox. I won't be able to collect my results as I'm 10000kms away in London. I've asked my parents to hold back until I head home in the summer to collect it, but now I'm like oh what-the-hell, I'll ask them to collect it. Maybe I'll ask for something if I get moderately ok results. Who knows, eh? I don't expect the best results out there. And I'm not really excited to be frank. Lol!

#295-In case you're wandering.... 23:38
If you've noticed, the last 3 posts in this blog were from back when I was still in Penang. This will be the case in several future posts too, since I have alot of backlogged photos which I'm yet to post onto this blog yet. So until I've finished posting all the backlogged photos, I'm stopping any current posts about my life in England. I've been inactive in blogging in the later part of October 2008(my laptop was taken out of my room on the 20th), during the entire month of November 2008 (due to SPM and no laptop), December 2008 (too lazy) and January 2008 (too busy/lazy), hence the backlogged photos.
P.S. I'm not even sure whether backlogged is a word!!

#269-Sorry for not updating readers! 22:34
Hey guy and girl readers of my blog. Sorry I haven't been updating in awhile. It's just that college has just started for me and although most of my pictures are already in my laptop, it does take some time to load them onto Blogger. So the weekends are approaching soon and I hope to blog more then!

#268-A New Year, A New Place, A New Beginning 09:29
Well guys and girls, how was your new year? I guess it was good for all of you. For me, I was stuck on a plane for 13+ hours from Singapore to London. So basically, my new year was kinda exciting yet boring in a way. Well, as some of you might know, the reason I came to London is to study A-Levels. My college of choice is Davies Laing & Dick college in Central London near Bond Street. I start on Monday and I'm currently still enjoying my last bits of holiday that I have left. I had Tameer and Saameer over at the airport to send me off and I'm pretty satisfied by that. I know that's not many unlike someone I know, but I'm pretty satisfied by it and I do understand that some of my friends do not have transport yet, so they can't come send me off. Anyways, from me to all my friends, best of luck in whatever you do and adios!

#249-Another Chapter Of My Life Closed 19:25
Well, as of yesterday, the SPM exams for me finished. What a relief! The whole exam was ok. On the first day it was BM 1 and 2 and Sejarah 1, they were all alright. 2nd day was English 1 and 2 and Sejarah 2. English was alright. Sejarah 2 was hard. Maths 1 and 2 on the 3rd day was quite easy. On the 18th of November (the 4th day), there was Add Maths and Moral. They were both hard. Chemistry, Biology and Physics were all moderate and as for the last paper of the whole exam, English for Science and Technology, it was easy.
So like I said, another chapter of my life closes yesterday at 3.15pm. The new chapter, however, just started right after that. It was home first, had a quick bath then it was off to Gurney Plaza. I stayed there, went to Starbucks, visited Switch and Charlie Communications. Then I met both Timothy and Shee Siang in Switch and we hung around for a little bit. At night, we had dinner at Sakae Sushi which was unfortunately, a bad experience.
After dinner, it was the time to.......you know.............buy my new lappie!!!! I got the Macbook Pro 15-inch 2.4GHz. IT IS A SUPER DUPER FREAKING AWESOMEEE LAPTOP!!! I will post the pictures I took and the unboxing video up later.
P.S. Sorry for the past few boring-no-pictures posts. This will be the last one and the photoblog will resume say, later today?

#248-New domain name!! 08:49
Well, well, well......Guess who recently joined in the ranks of nickchan.net, alvinyang.net, andyooi.com, yiphing.net and other young teen Penang bloggers with their personal domain name???
ME! Your one and only, yours truly. Whatever. I'm gonna give my blog a refresh and this is the 1st step. Following updates will be done after my SPM which ends in 2 weeks time. My blog has been with me since April 2008 and at around post #97 is I'm not wrong, I gave it the 1st refresh. I changed the blog template, gave it a new look and name and also I changed the link for thisismylifebitchh.blogspot.com to callmealexkhoo.blogspot.com.
Now, at nearly 250 posts, well 248 to be exact, I have changed the link of my blog again. This time I purchased a custom domain name through Blogger's services and the process was very easy. My new URL link / domain name is,
http://www.alexkhoo.net
You can still type in callmealexkhoo.blogspot.com and it will direct that URL to my new one so no worries. But I do advice friends of mine to relink me. Oh and I bought the domain name with my MOL Freedom prepaid Mastercard.

#246-Hey y'all! 16:36
Hey y'all!! Finally got time to do a blogpost. I just got back my phone, so I'm actually blogging on my phone now. So, to give you some updates on my past one week since my laptop was taken away, here it is.
On Monday the 20th, it was the day my lappie was taken out of the room. It was heart-breaking. Lol. XD. Had a haircut in the evening at my usual barber. At night, it was the 2nd last lesson for my English class with my grandaunt.
I did not go to school the next day. It was also the day I sent my phone in for the 2nd time for repairs. After that, I attended a mini-seminar more intended for school counselors and headmasters at the E&O hotel. There were only about 3 students including me at the seminar. It was about what you need and such to attend the top universities in England, hosted by an old friend and the principal of the Davies Laing and Dick college in London, Mr. David Lowe. The new fridge also came that day, about an hour after I got back from the seminar. At night, instead of attending BM class, I went for Chemistry instead due to the dinner I had to attend the next day.
22nd was another day of no school for me. Did some Add Maths revision at home. In the afternoon had an appointment/interview at ASA, my agent for college-hunting, with Mr. Lowe. It went well infact, lasting about 2 hours. In the evening, it was dinner with Mr. Lowe at Hainan Town at Weld Quay.
Won't blog about the 23rd. Nothing much happened on that day.
Ahh. I hit the big one-seven on the 24th. It was my birthday and everything went well on that day. Went for my last official day at St. Xaviers Instituition as a student as we Form 5ers and Upper Form 6ers have a 2 week study leave for the upcoming SPM/STPM exams. Cameras can be seen everywhere with almost everyone taking photos with their friends including me. I had alot of photos taken that day as memories. Sorry guys! Photos will only be up after the SPM! Mended a few relationships too. Oh and the scene during recess at the canteen was the liveliest one ever. A lot of jokes and such were being passed around. A group of Upper Form 6ers were having a mini-party. Hah. And it's a day where teachers can't take away our cameras. IT WAS LIKE THE BEST DAY OF SCHOOL EVERR!!!. IIn the evening, it was tuition as usual and my birthday dinner was later. Celebrated it at Chili's with my parents, brother, the maids, and my granduncle and grandaunt. Later, we adjourned back home for cake-cutting.
The weekends were the usual boring stuff, studying and such. Our old fridge was taken away on Saturday after serving us for a good 17years.
Monday, Tuesday and yesterday was again, normal and nothing much happened. Got my phone back yesterday right after Chemistry class.

#242-Updated Setup, clean and tidy. 04:45
With inspiration from Nick Chan, http://nickchan.net/2008/10/18/tidy-clean-sparkling-home-offices-workspace/, and since I couldn't concentrate on studying, I've decided to clean up my desk. It has a fresh new updated look and it's all arranged now.
New fresh updated look. I kept my Apple Keyboard and Mouse and will only take it out when I want to use it.
7-port USB hub, iPods on respective docks and the 2 Sony Ericssons.
Books and dictionary. Wait....Do you see something out of the ordinary???
Yep. It's my new Western Digital MyBook 500GB Home Edition External HDD.
Some chargers and a few strings/lanyards are now hung up.
