The idea of finding The One – find the one that you like and live your life together. Check whether she is the one, are you sure you want her be besides you for all your life? You test your skill of problem solving between both of you. You would like to go travel together, seeing how the world sees both of you as a couple. If anything went wrong through this phase, break up and find another one.

Feeling for each other is important. Everything is in the romance and your heart glows when both of you are together. You like to be in company of each other and of course, being alone is torturous. Thinking about her all the time, before sleep or after wake up is a ritual. Breakfast on the bed? A morning kiss from her, while wearing your shirt? Wow. That’s how to live a life.

All of this seems perfect, except that you are not married. If this behavior becomes a girlfriend/boyfriend custom, there will be nothing new when you get married. Your previous experience will make you want more. Romance is a normal thing for you and marriage does not offer something new.

Marriage is about going on a lifetime journey on a big ship. Both of you will discover new colors of the world as a couple, experiencing sparkling new things together and endure stormy hardships with a new strength of marriage’s bond. If you hop in the ship when you are already tired of the sea, with all the bad experiences of breakups and betrayals, it won’t be as exciting as the former case.

My idea of marriage may seem conservative or kolot but that’s how I see it. This is an incomplete post on my incomplete thought. Feel free to comment and remember, attack the idea, not the person.

Big Picture:

My friend, Kampung Investor, recommended me to buy Citibank share. It seems like the stock is running bullish. Just wonder how many of us decided to take the ride. Has the economy found its bottom?

I don’t deny that it’s a great movie with various awards and nominations pouring around its feet but I don’t agree with the morale carried by the film.

First of all, he’s not genius, he just knew all the answers. Can anyone be that lucky? Even so, how can he remembered all the stuff. Yeah, I know most events that related to the questions are very significant to him. Maybe that makes it a great story but to remember most the stuff that happened when you were young is illogical.

The world is full of hatred and misfortune. That’s the message that is chanted every minutes in the film. His brother sold his Amitabh Bachchan autograph, his mother was killed by religious war, his millionaire game host tried to deceive him, his heedless love was stuck with mob boss and so on. The world might have all that but the movie makes it look like the world purposely done so to make him suffer, without justice nor humanity.

I hate the climax as well. He won money. Nothing more than materialistic and sordid award for his sufferings.

This is the latest entry of my bulk in Lowyat.net. Here is Garmin 200W 2009 edition. In short, the main difference from older 200W is its firmware. 2009 edition is equipped with 2×5 firmware which features friendlier interface, more features and greater performance. In this mini review, I use some screenshots from 200 vs 205 to show the comparison. 200W 2009 will have bigger screen compared to 200/205.

200W 2009 Edition

Faster startup time:

The first improvement is startup time. In my test, it took 9 second for 2009 Edition to start up and come to “I Agree” screen. Old 200W took 18 second

Friendlier user interface:

Below is the new interface for 200W 2009 edition.

New high sensitive sensor:

Thanks to more sensitive sensor, gps lock up time has been considerably reduce, allowing you to get a fix faster. Here is side by side comparison, the right gps is 2009 Edition while the left one is normal 200W. In this test both were switched on at the same time and I put both against the window.

After 30 seconds

After approximately 5 minutes:

New map interface:

1. Upcoming turn arrow displays the distance and direction of the next turn. Tapping on this icon brings up a more detailed, 2-D view of the turn.

FAQ

Is it original product?

Absolutely. This is an official garmin product before Garmin marketing team renamed to 205W to differentiate its new features. I’m not sure whether this product is exactly the same with 205W but it has most functions and advantages that 205W has.

Why I should buy 200W 2009 instead of 205W.

Simple answer, the price. LYN lowest price is around RM950 for 205W. I’m offering further discount if  you are buying more than one. With 200W 2009 edition, you get the best of both world, cheap price of 200W and exciting new features of 205W.

Where do you get the product from?

I have supplier contact in the US with a lot of 2009 stock. They were just filling up their stock when Garmin decided to rebrand their GPS line. They are having difficulty selling it in the US because it has to be marketed as 200W and no one knows about its new firmware.

What about warranty?

Garmin produces reliable GPS products. We have thoroughly checked their quality before sending to Malaysia. If there is manufacturer defect, we are happy to give one to one warranty for 3 months. After that period, it will fall into Garmin US warranty for another 9 months for a total of 1 year warranty. We will help you to claim warranty from Garmin US in this period but the shipping cost is buyer’s responsibility.
