Lady GaGa "The Fame Monster" slotMusic™ (microSD) 6:23 PM

The digital version of Lady GaGa's "The Fame Monster" + "The Fame"... in microSD card!

Total 20 tracks plus 2 videos.

The back sleeve stated it's a 1GB microSD card with high quality DRM-free MP3s.

I prefer to keep it sealed, so I'm not able to give any comment or reviews about the quality of the MP3s and videos. I'm not sure which videos are included, as it's not listed on the tracklisting, unfortunately.
The size of the slotMusic album is just slightly larger than normal CD jewel case.
No booklet in the slotMusic album too.

You must be thinking this album is very expensive hey.

In fact it only cost me US$14.38 (included postage from US), it's cheaper than the physical Aussie CD. I think it's a pretty good deal especially this format is not common, only a small amount were produced.

But I also know that this is not a famous semi-physical format as people are more into digital music like iTunes that allows them to download the files into their computer or phone or ipods, which is much more convenient than having a microSD music card, and many prefer physical CD instead of this so-called 'new' format too. Moreover, you'll need a device / certain phones that accept microSD / a card reader to open the music card.

In overall, I'm happy to own this rare semi-physical album as my GaGa collection. Go GaGa!

Lady Gaga Speaks Out About 'Born This Way' Censorship In Malaysia 11:48 PM

Lady Gaga has criticised radio stations in Malaysia after they banned her single 'Born This Way'.

The single, which feature such lyrics as ''no matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track baby", was dubbed over across Malaysian radiostation.

In an interview with Google the singer said that the Malaysian radio bosses were 'promoting homosexuality'.

''Well obviously I disagree with it, otherwise I wouldn't have specifically put those words in the song," Gaga said

She added: "All the young people in Malaysia that want those words to be played on the radio, it is your job and it is your duty as young people to have your voices heard. You must do everything that you can if you want to be liberated by your society."

THE EARLIER NEWS:

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' has been censored in Malaysia over its pro-gay lyrics.

The song celebrates people who live alternative lifestyles, and includes the line "no matter gay, straight, or bi /Lesbian, transgendered life /I'm on the right track baby," which has been removed by a number of radio stations after officials deemed it inappropriate in the largely Muslim country.

A spokesperson for the country's Amp Radio said: "The particular lyrics in 'Born This Way' may be considered as offensive when viewed against Malaysia's social and religious observances.

"The issue of being gay, lesbian or bisexual is still considered as a 'taboo' by general Malaysians."

Gaga - who has in the past claimed to be bisexual - has previously said she picked the track as the lead single from her second album - also called 'Born This Way' because of its strong message, adding she hoped it could become an anthem for her generation.

Elton John has said of the track: "Born This Way' will completely get rid of Gloria Ganor's 'I Will Survive.' This is the new 'I Will Survive.' That was the gay anthem. This is the new gay anthem."

Gay rights groups in Malaysia have already reacted angrily to the decision.

So.. what can I say about this issue? I shall remain speechless.

I won an AFL ball! 10:24 PM

I received a random package in front of the door, with my name and address written on it. At first I had no idea what was it, and then I was surprised when I opened it and found that 'the item' in the package - a Sherrin AFL ball (worth $29.99) and a letter congrats me in winning the MARS chocolate draw. Well I totally forgot about it as I entered the draw like half year ago (I entered the draw just for fun, never expected to win one... seriously!).

Oh yeah, and then I found back the chocolate wrapper (yes it's true) that I kept in the shelf... just because the instruction asked us to keep the wrapper for future proof.
The competition/draw was pretty easy. You could:
1. Win the ball immediately (claim the ball if the wrapper stated you've won one)
2. Enter second chance draw (type-in the number into their website and wait for the draw)
*
Besides, I think the chances of winning one was pretty high anyway, as they are giving out total 30,000 balls to customers. So yeah, yay!

Daytrips - Hillarys, Scarborough, City 9:39 PM

It was a rare case for me as I eventually became a tour guide + traveler with Johannes.

We visited Hillarys and Scarborough, and then Joondalup shopping mall and city on the next day... all by train and bus. It was pretty easy and convenient to travel by public transport!
After Hillarys Boat Harbour, we stopped by at the beautiful Scarborough beach.
The Fish & Chips meal portion in one of the restaurants nearby is pretty good too... except it was too dry for us so I bought few dipping sauces (that was originally for kebab).

The night view of Perth city (Hay St).

On the way back to city from Joondalup Shopping Mall.

Icey Ice @ Harbour Town

Have a safe trip to Melbourne and Sydney etc Johannes.

Hope to see you again soon.

Rottnest... again 10:53 PM

Had a super fun day at Rottnest Island with Johannes from Germany.

Well except our poor tired legs after few hours of bicycle rides (I almost give up when we're going up to the hills), and we got sunburn despite a beautiful, windy, sunny but not very hot day.

But worth it. Rottnest Island is really beautiful and calm. :)
