Speedo Aquabeat MP3


I am now having a honeymoon moment with my brand new Speedo Aquabeat Mp3. For me it is super cool especially when you attach it to your goggles. I've been going swimming 2-3 times a week now haha!. Lets hope it lasts. A quick review of the product:

1st of all the design is cool to a certain extent that you sort of feel like cyclops from X-men. You wont feel anything when you attach it to your goggles.

The battery lasts for 8 hours with 1 Gb memory. There is a 2 Gb version but I dont think i need it coz I only use Aquabeat just for swimming

To attach the headphones to my ears is quite cumbersome especially with my dumbo like ears. A prolonged use of the earphones will result to marks on your ears.

Sound quality for me is unsatisfactory at first because, water keeps coming in my ears and it blocks the sound. I have adjust it a few times to get it right. It turned out, the third set of earbuds gave me the best sound quality. The thing is, I need to always put the earbuds in my ears while its still dry, or if I'm already in the swimming pool, I need to drain my earsthen put in back. Although it was not comparable to altec lensing, it was ok. I would still recomend friends to buy it.

Conclusion:

Since i've paid 59eur for it, might as well get the best of it. Having an unsatisfactory music is better than having no music at all. Well, its not exactly altec lensing especially when i'm blowing alot of bubbles while swimming. Just try all three earbuds , which one suits you the best. I do wish that there's radio function though

Recomendation:

I just wish that speedo come up with x-ray googles... Waterproof of course ;)

UiTM Merbok... The best experience

I remember the frustration of not getting into any university. Maybe because my SPM grades weren't any good. After I've done some appealing and du'a especially from my parents and my beloved grandma alhamdulillah UiTM Merbok was willing to accept me.

The Malinja College of UiTM was among the best colleges in Malaysia. It has the state of the art facilities and comfort. Word goes around that it is comparable to Seri Malaysia three star facilities. I dont know whether that is true or not but I sure do agree with it. The room is very spacious with sturdy Beds and fine built in study tables. Best of all it is free! so as the food although its not actually the best, I'm thankful.

Classes are equipped with air condition and advanced technology. Everything in the class is controlled by touch screen technology comparable to the ones in Australia and Europe. Even dekat university aku skang, sesetangah class tak secanggih uitm.

I just cant compare the dedication given by UiTM lecturers to other universities that I've attended. It is very important for them that we UiTM students understands what they have delivered. I know some students needs to be encouraged and pushed and UiTM lecturers have done a great job in doing that. This has also inspired me to be a lecturer

These beautiful ladies from the picture above are UiTM students visiting me. My intuition says that they are going places just like any UiTM students. Meanwhile, the picture below shows the whole group. The background building is my current University... Rijkuniversiteit Groningen

I'm very thankful and proud that my fellow UiTM alumni visited me in Groningen. Reminded me of the good old days in Merbok and Arau. I miss having dinner and lunch in Dewan makan Malinja, loitering at central square and most of all, Nasi Ayam Pakmud hmmm heeel lekker!

For those of you who studied/are studying in overseas, panjatkan Syukur kepada Allah No need laaaa to patronize local universities especially UiTM. Yang study local pon syukur juga, because not everybody has this kind of opportunity. Ingat laaa asal usul. Your foundation program most probably be from INTEC jugak. I've heard those unpleasant comments when I was down under and bashed them.

Frankly I've seen local graduates that has way better abilities and charisma rather that foreign grads. It depends on that particular person regardless where they graduate from.
