Import from SIM to Android's contacts

Recently, I'm switching to a new phone, and I ran into an issue with migrating contacts from an old SIM card to the new Android phone. There's would be no problem if both of them are Android phone, because I can upload old contacts to Gmail and sync them back to the new one; Or I can just export to the SD card to (.vcf) file and import to the new phone again. But the problem was, my old phone was an old feature phone, not a smartphone, so there's noway to import/export to (.vcf) file. Lucky enough, it can copy all contacts to the SIM card, but for some reason, my new Android phone would not import those contacts even though it recognize and seeing those contacts. Anyway, here is the solution:

Under contacts, press menu, the import/export, and select Import from SIM card as below

BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT, make sure the "Auto-sync" in account setting is checked. That was the problem that prevent the Android to import contacts from SIM card. I guess the explanation is, Android want to sync every new piece of information to Gmail. If not, it won't do it. I guess it want to collect every little piece of personal information from us so someday it will take over the world D:

WiiFM

WiiFM is a station that many many people tuning into every day. That's including you, me, and almost every one else on earth. WiiFM broadcast in a wide range, and it doesn't discriminate anyone. WiiFM stand for "What's in it For Me" It's a new term that I've learned recently from a speech course :/

Why am I talking about WiiFM? here's it goes again. It's all about friendship and relationship and all those cheesy stuffs. It's about a friend of mine, who dumped her bf for a week, then went on a dating another guy. At first, I thought she was "really" sad about her breakup. I was too naive to believe that she was emotionally weak and too vulnerable for a new relationship because she might not thinking it thoroughly, and because I'm always taking relationship seriously, so I kept texting her and remind her not to start a new realtionship, not until her emotion is stable and ensure that she's ready. But as it turned out, I was a fool; a fool to believe her the whole time. The whole breakup thing was carefully planned out. She found the new guy and secretly dating him BEFORE she even break up with her existing boyfriend. It's a form of cheating, but at a mild level I guess. It was just an act, acting to be sad, and I played the role of the witness.

It disappointed me. Not only because she lied to me (well not exactly lying, but not telling the whole truth lol) but also about the concept of love and relationship. I guess there's no such thing as true love and unconditional love. Love only exist in motion pictures and love novels :( . In real life, love is like a car, where people can change ownership and trade in for a new model. Heck yeh, people even test drive the new relationship to make sure it's ok before dumping the old one. People will always tune into WiiFM to make sure everything benefit themselves the most. I don't know who to believe anymore, anything people say can be a lie. Heck yeh, even sometimes I lie to myself. Maybe I was disappointed is because it did not benefit me. Maybe I advised her to take some cool off time so that I can ask her out for a date lol. Whatever it is, I just take it as a lesson of life and moving on, and lets not losing hope about love and the true ascent of love :)

How to reset Yamaha YPG-640 / 635

I spent hours digging on the web, trying to search for "Factory reset for Yamaha YPG 640 piano" but ironically, the answer was right in front of me. If you have a user manual, it's on page 64. If you don't, just follow these easy simple procedures



TO RESET USER'S SETTING TO FACTORY SETTING: Hold the highest white key (see pic) while your piano is in "off" stage, then turn ON piano and don't release the white key until the message appear on the screen.




TO DELETE DATA/SONG/STYLE/VOICE TO FACTORY RESET: follow procedure as above, except this time hold the last white key along with the 3 black keys (see pic)



These procedure should also work for Yamaha YPG-635 YPG-625 DGX-630 but I only tested on my Yamaha 640. Though, I ended up returning my keyboard to the store for a Casio WK-7500 because it offers more sounds to play with :D
