The revived HP

Fed up with the alarm issue from this morning, I did a hard reboot after lunch, removed battery and the works, at the risk of ruining the manicured fingers. I was THAT fed up.

The result was that after the reboot, my phone ran MUCH faster than before (I wondered why I put up with the slowness before this!) and finally like the slick smartphone from before. Hurray to the disappearance of restarting Sense, lagging whatsapp (cross my fingers!) and improved speed. 

I feel like I can love my phone finally (or at least, for the time being).

This will certainly remind me to reboot it every now and then to clear all the nonsense that I subject it to!

This is awesome ^-^

HTC Desire

 

 HTC Desire, my gorgeous phone.. (: Working perfectly fine up till now, and finding apps is a @_@ process because there are just so many to choose from! Not as much as Apple obviously, but still, enough to make my head swim. Trying to figure out how some apps work too. But meanwhile, enjoying it! Esp when I can still msn on the train wahaha. And corporate plans are the best plans in the world <3

Yes, I am perfectly happy and fine with this new toy of mine~

Super useful for the upcoming trip too! Now is to clear all the tuition + work before leaving for the getaway.. :D

And Tuesday has moved into Wednesday..

Mini countdown on FB each day and night. 

And technically, this is the last work day of the week.. Double happiness!! Tomorrow will be @ City Hall area in the morning from 9 - 11, and that wouldn't feel like work after all because I am not in Buona Vista!

And it's home after that.. What a wonderful half work day. :)

And a few hrs after I'm home, I'll be reluctant to go for tuition with the new toy and much to explore!!!

Ahh.. Hello early long weekend! (and it's only 10 in the morning :s)

When I go home tonight, it'll be time to

1) Dig out all the stuff for trade in
2) Throw all my photos / music into my computer!
3) Check that all my contacts are actually already in my SIM.

=))

Anticipating..

Less than 48 hrs to the exciting world of Android + HTC.. I somehow made everyone around me excited as well.. Boss's eyes were SHINING when discussing the phone with me yesterday..

21 days to Shanghai and World Expo and our Little Durian Star.. 

I haven't  been so excited in quite a while! I just know that we will have a blast of a time over in China (and meeting up with Bettina! :D) It will be THE trip of the year. Good thing there's this trip to look forward to (it looks possibly like the only trip I'll have this year, THANK GOD I'm going and didn't hesitate). It doesn't matter who is going and who is not now, not gonna do any more persuading because there is no point if one is just not interested enough.

Not even the stupid lump in my throat nor the aftereffects of coffee (what's new) can dampen my mood.. Heh.

Once in a lifetime experience, here I come.. :)

Bye Nokia, hello HTC.. :)

Spending recklessly

These days, big items I have been spending recklessly!!

Laptop - bought after a week of my old one spoiling.

Shanghai - even better. Thought of it on Monday, discussed with Liping on Tuesday, booked tickets on Wednesday!

And now - HTC Desire. Saw the advertisement sent by email on Friday, and more or less made up my mind to order it tonight. Hello to an even smarter smartphone! My boss will be happy that I gave in to the temptation. Hahaha.

Total damage just for these 3 items: 3.5k (factoring in 700 bucks to spend overseas).

Er... I will start to save up soon! Hello to being debt free in July (hopefully because I hadn't factor in all these nonsense!!)

Let's hope that we will have a smashing good time in Shanghai! China - hello again!!

Mayday DNA

was fabulous, even though we were tired out from all the standing, shouting, and mad waving of sticks.

2030 - 0015 worth of Mayday music passed by in a flash, even though there were around 20 percent of the songs that I donno, they have good solid beats enough for me to lose myself into them without knowing what the heck the song is about! It came as a big surprise when they came to the "end" of the concert at around 11.

The encore lasted over an hour! Coolness... At least there was no unfair treatment of not ending before 12, even though I think they might pay dearly for it.. :s Fab fab fab concert.

Unfortunately, as superb as it is, it failed to take me away from my eye's attention, as well as my brain's attention.

Rushed off to send Andy off to Brunei after the concert, and apparently I was too late to send my brother. Ate some food before going home, and some undone questions for tomorrow's tuition, resulting in why I'm not yet asleep now. :s It's like a mahjong game sleeping time and all I did was to watch a concert!!!

Collected my phone back on Friday, after they changed a motherboard for me (: It's like having a new phone again! I'm rediscovering N85 through adding in new new new applications (:

A very huge thanks to Clement. for being the 出氣桶 today and letting me rant out all that was going through my head. If he ever sees this, that is.

Starting to wonder if there's something wrong with the whole world, or is it just me.

Okie, time to sleep, else I'll start muttering gibberish to Susian again tmr :s

Mitch Albom

In light of having the PSP truly returned to its original owner, I start doing what I normally do when I'm bored: Digging out old books to reread. The advantage and beauty of buying books :)

And so for this couple of days I was rereading "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", and then I realize that I still love this book as compared to when I first read it. Generally I was told that Tuesdays with Morrie was the big hit and The Five People You Meet in Heaven was just something that came along after that big hit.

Not for me. I liked Tuesdays with Morrie, but I preferred The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Both are insightful books, but I guess The Five People You Meet in Heaven just hit me harder than Tuesdays with Morrie did. I have no idea why, but the impact upon reading the book was as good as the first time when I bought the book and read it the first time round. I guess life after death is just something that everyone would be curious in. And I happen to like the way life after death is presented in the book. An explanation of what went through in your life, and the impact and consequences of every little action that one takes. Anything could potentially steer another life in another direction forever. The complications of homosapiens' acts, and the interactive web that they weave in, huh.

I personally believe that life after death exists, because.. Life can't just simply cease to exist when the last breath is taken. I don't believe that. Afterlife HAS to exist. Somehow somewhat.

I'm just so taken with the book. Must have looked awfully silly on the train this morning when I was reading the later part of the book. :s

Meanwhile, Tuesdays with Morrie will be my companion for today and tomorrow at least. :) I wasn't very impressed with For One More Day, but maybe I should reread it again in case I change my mind.

The same old condition came back this morning when it's disappeared for a while, and I didn't dare to wake up in case I scare my dad. Sigh.

And I need to send my phone in for servicing, soon. The space/0/next line is driving me nuts.. Can't even type a proper sms in peace now. And it takes me 3-4 times as long just to finish an sms :(

Changes to the phone!

This is currently my wallpaper. So nice and happy right! Feel cheery looking at it :)

Switched my 沒有如果 and 愛情之所以因爲愛情 to 情歌 and 別再為她流淚. Fish's CD is practically the whole OST for 敗犬女王, and the constant use of the songs is making me totally fall in love with the songs!! *swoons*

On another happy side note, Shiori is coming to visit! I'm anticipating her visit when I can bring her everywhere!!! (:

Tomorrow's a rest day from relief teaching.
