Happy Birthday to Dennis 大帅哥!!

He’s 26 this year. Not too old, but not too young —
the most perfect level of physical and mental maturity in the timeline of a human’s life, I think.
Mediocre people will be expecting you to have own or have done certain things around the age of 26. Say, a car or a house etc etc. He owns a car already. Probably a house as well, but don’t know. Well well… He certainly is the kind who knows how to find good foods and luxurious vacation spots, so we can rest assured that he’s got some plans and will be doing just fine starts from today. :)
I don’t know what I’ll become by 26. I’m now almost 24. It’s just 2 years away, you know.
I may look younger than my age now, but I know time is slipping away and my physical age is increasing.
Oh ya, a funny story today! I was walking down Mid Valley KTM station and then this dubious Digi/Celcom guy approached me, trying to sell the sim card and data plan or don’t-know-what promotion in his hand. He asked:
“Are you 18 or are you over 18?”
I looked at him, and threw a very “what?”.
Haiyo, my look still not obvious meh??
ROOARRRRRRRR! I’m freaking 24!!
24 – 18 = 6 years difference!! In 6 years, how many cells in my body have died you know??!!
OK. A little over-reacted.
Relax…
Hmm, I should take it as a compliment. Like what Dennis Da-shuai-ge said, when we’re getting older, we’ll wish to look younger. Hmm.
Ahem, back to the topic.
I don’t think I’d change a lot in 2 years. Don’t really expect to go very far in 2 years. But I did make a promise to myself that something has got to change by the end of this month.
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life”

Apparently Samsung Omnia website just released a new update for the phone :D
You know, I always expect people to release new updates so that my phone can work faster or do more things. The same thing goes to my iMac. I’ll get all excited by just realising the existence of new software updates. It’s like “Wow! My machine is getting better without me paying anything!” that sort of feeling.
Maybe that’s their marketing and CRM plan, and typical consumers like me have no immune to it. How sad. Hehe.
So, I updated my phone, and realised how sucky it was when I was trying to look for the photos I took during Dennis’ Birthday Karaoke session –
Everything is gone.
Photos, contacts, sms-es, my GPS software, 260-page Twilight novel… everything. -__-
There you go… “a time of my life” (Is this a pun? Oh I don’t know…)
So, no photos -__-.
The stupid macbook is finally back :D
The guy said it’s only because of the startup disk setting. Harddisk is perfectly fine.
Shit -__- Must be 老妹 who didn’t do the DIY rescue steps correctly.
That guy still acting very cold -__-
He finally squeezed one smile when I was trying to be funny.
Maybe working there is really stressful?
But he’s the front line le… Sometimes have to jia-jia be friendly also ma
HAHAHA. Sure I am a very picky customer :P

Really couldn’t stand my Mighty Mouse not able to scroll down.

So I “dissected” my mouse.
BEHOLD…

Can’t believe my sister’s stupid 2-month-old Macbook is dead.
Yes you heard me right – 2 MONTHS, and DEAD!
She kept restarting the macbook, but it kept on showing a folder with a question mark right at the middle of the screen. I asked her to do all those funny funny combination of emergency key-press e.g. Ctrl+Alt+”P”+”R”, or press-and-hold “Alt” right after restarting (man, Apple Engineers are so creative to come out with all those combinations!), but to no avail -
The folder was still there, and now it’s flashing!
Damn macbook is patronising lo!
ROAAARRRRRR!!!
For the first time in my life, I think Apple sucks big time -__-

I always thought macs are indestructible. But obviously I was wrong – it’s just like Windows. Haiya

*Sigh*

So now the macbook is in kilang, and we’ll be waiting for the Apple guy to ring us once it’s back to normal. But I doubt my sis will be able to see her biotech thesis in the macbook again :(

Ahem, maybe I think too highly of macs, probably to a degree of delusion already. In actual, they are still normal computers what… and computers can go wrong sometimes, right? Hmm, from now on I shall put them together with windows pc, and stop praising their beauty. Beauty can be deceiving.
Really hope to do something ( e.g. ) to that Machines store guy. He cannot smile one… don’t know why not friendly. Maybe he thought we tortured the macbook. Teehee!

Had lunch at Manhattan Fish Market. It’s sad how the food that looked so delicious 20 minutes ago looked so disgusting later. It’s the food’s portion problem, so we couldn’t finish everything.

老妹: “Can’t finish all le… so wasted. African kids don’t even have enough food lo…”
Me: “It’s ok… I’ve been there. They are not like what we saw on TV. Mind you, they have the nicest steak in the world!”
Hahaha. My imaginative conversation la.
老妹 said it’s expensive.
Reminder to myself: There’s no escargot there.

So we walked around in Mid Valley and saw a promotional booth selling imported Japanese snacks. I saw Meiji. I think it’s a very famous brand. Mika Nakashima advertised for them before.

Meiji Meiji. Not bad~
*I’ve got more, but that chocolate looks the best.

新的 Memory 终于运到我家了。谢谢 FedEx。(比起 DHL,FedEx 比较神。DHL 根本都找不到我家。太偏僻了吗?囧)

一拿到手就迫不及待开动⋯⋯
原来原产是 Hynix 的公司的。
比较一下。上头是旧的 1GB。两块新的 2GB。2 x 2GB = 4GB。同样是 Apple Certified。
感觉很幸福~
搞定。
Check 一下。
太好了!呵呵!恩⋯⋯ 还有另一个。
USB Power Adapter。给 iPod 的。
四四方方。很整洁。
暂时什么都不缺了⋯⋯ 只差一份理想的工作。
继续努力地等。

原来 Singapore 已经正式推出 Unlocked 版的 iPhone。*马来西亚的 Maxis 或 Celcom 用户终于都能用了。搭在 Singapore 工作的表哥帮我买一个。是九姑要的。呵呵,人总要进步的嘛⋯⋯ 希望九姑懂得用咯。这星期五表哥就会回来了。
电脑开始慢了。是时候让 Memory 升级了。想了想,还是懒得去人多的 Low Yat Plaza 跟别人一起 bik。恩。网上订购去~(原来没有自己的 Credit Card 是一件很烦人的事。妈啊。)
忙⋯⋯ 原来私事也能把我忙昏。

My Eyes Sparkled!

Finally my iMac is back :D

Very Happy! 
Remember the free gift I told you before? I’ve been expecting a free set of speakers and a free pendrive from Machines after my iMac purchase, and I thought the free gifts must be of some kinda cheap brands.
But I was wrong this time -
Speaker with subwoofer which would cost you RM149.00, but RM0.00 for me!
SUPER Happy neh!!! 
Seriously I just couldn’t hide it 
My sis said she could literally see my eyes sparkled the moment them brought out the speaker set from the back of the counter.
I think my eyes bling-bling all the way from Mid Valley to my house le.
Haha!

It’s just yesterday I sent in my iMac for replacing the LCD :(
Going to be sad in the next coming week coz apparently it’ll take that long [or maybe longer than that] for them to do their stuffs.

NO COMPUTER! – I already am sad :|

To mend my slightly-broken heart, I went to Nando.

Jeez. It looks more like a cup of ice-cream than coffee.

p.s.: Will cause much delay in posing :P

Small or Big, that’s the question

Ok la. You know I can’t keep this kinda secret (-_-) And also, I don’t think I can keep it anymore

Actually, I wanted to…..

…. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[So sorry le. I can't control myself. By just thinking of it makes me wanna laugh. Paiseh ho]

Actually, I’m going to get myself a new computer! And it’s Mac that I’ve always wanting to own! Muaha!

:D

So I’ll be going to Machines at mid valley this coming Sunday.

:D :D :D

[I really wanna paste this ":D" smiley all over this entire blog post coz I think that's the best way to express my degree of happiness right now keke]

My sister got really surprised after knowing about it. And she asked me why I wanna make such a move in a rather sudden manner. Well, I also dono what happened to me lo. Except the reason that my bank account is showing green light, maybe I’m starting to realised that life is really short, and I really don’t wanna waste my time dragging my life instead of doing the things I like.

And ya, I think that’s it. I’m so simple hor? :D
[Sometimes I also wonder why I'm such kaneh simple -_-]

So that explains why I couldn’t get any blog post up in the past few days. I’ve been so hardworking searching online to read about the Mac, you know. *bashing eyelashes exaggeratedly*
[Ok la. I know it's a lame excuse]

And I just realised it’s not easy for me to come out with a decision in this kinda situation:

vs

Kaneh~~

Different style, same lovable Mac. Aiks! I just can’t make up my mind lo~

I wonder which one you’d choose.
Come come choose with me :D
