Bought a new phone! Thought I wouldn’t bother to wait anymore because I felt the i-mate was getting very filddly.

Its sound is really really good. I’m really quite surprised that the earbuds provided were pretty good, it also takes a normal earphone size jack without the need for silly adapters. A 300 hour standby time was acceptable.. The sony erricson had like.. 450hours but that wouldn’t be necessary at all. 512mb card is free! haha.. cool.

I suddenly think I know why this feels so weird. I was thinking.. my life and behaviour hasn’t degraded much over the last few weeks, why am I suddenly feeling like I’m living in the valleys? I think.. I have seen the high road and boy is it high… this leads to feelings of dissatisfaction and inadequacy.

“If the Christian life is a burden to you, you’re living it in the flesh.” is what was said. “True.. true..” I thought but when I actually did live out that phrase its truth takes on a whole new dimension of true. Like, impossible true. True beyond what you can imagine but thats the whole point isn’t it? its impossible. How convenient!

I’m tired, its been a super long day. Got my laptop back, picked up some photos for my sister and went all the way to olympus service center without servicing the camera again. Oh man..  I’m so wishy washy, can’t decide to keep the C5050 or to just let it go.. I tried the canon G9 and the canon S5 IS. The G9 is like.. WHOA.. but at a cost of $820. The S5 is like.. lets just say after playing with the G9 the S5 is so much lesser of a camera even with double the zoom and quite a few similar functions at $630, totally not worth it. I’m still hankering for the G9 but as I took the train home and watched “Bridge to Terabithia” on my sister’s ipod (I put it there.. didn’t know what it was but now I think its a really nice show) I decided that this wasn’t such a super ultra important part of my life and I didn’t need these things. Tons of people in church and stuff with budget constraints who live with less came to mind. Though I have spare cash.. I guess I’ll just let william pay for this one (he dropped it in japan) and live with the c-5050 for as long as it will allow me to use it. Its service history is quite funny.

1. First servicing by me.. Dropped it while balancing it on the dummy plan in tamworth australia read the surrounding posts, they’re quite humourous. Lens got stuck in the out position.
2. Brother was using when the mode dial broke. It fell off by itself.
3. Ismet(bro’s friend) dropped it in norway, camera cannot focus, changed lens
4. William(my friend) dropped it in japan, camera cannot focus, changing lens

Haha..So there you go. The illustrious history of my camera. The lens changed a total of 3 times! haha.. I really really am very attached to it. Quite sian when William say it spoilt but he feel so guilty already so I never disturb him and was pretty laughy-ish about it.. I’ll just bill him. Shall drop by the service center next week before wednesday again. When I get quite serious about this I think I’ll be getting something from the canon G series. Perhaps second hand or older one cos then it’ll be cheaper. Who needs anything more than 12 megapixels???

Oh well, off to bed I go.

I gutted my sister’s old Old OLD toshiba laptop and am blogging from it now. Check it out.

Going to fashion a nice case for it and stuff it in. Its so small and quiet and slim. heh. Think it’ll do as a nice portable desktop type. After I’m done with this, the old church IBM left there by kim is next.

If you think I’m kinda silly to stay up until 0443 to do this.. I’m really actually doing some reflection. I guess.. this just helps me stay awake.

edit: Managed to remove all plastic. Wooo.. its totally bare now.

I need one of these for christmas!

Seeing Double? Yes.. I got them 500gb drives finally.. Its really not that expensive when you consider how long I’m going to be using these 2 things and what they contain.

I was going to begin the next photo caption with.. “we’ve all been down this road before..” but I’m sure the corniness would freeze everyone to death so I won’t. Instead, I shall go for something innocuous like “Funny Road Sign”. See.. so boring la.

Lastly, my suppoeroo which I consume as I type this. Actually, I shall eat the last piece now. okay. I’m done. *mmmmm*. See what joy 2 dollops of butter and jam can do? And the scones are home made.. just in case you feel like going out to buy.

You thought the 4 x 24 inch dell multiple monitor setup was mad? How about this

or this

crazy? haha… you can buy them here

Yep, its confirmed. My thumbdrive is gone for good. Sigh…….

Well, the guy called me back already. I hope he’s not just putting up a show but he sounds like he’s helping me.

ARGH! I hope his fingers rot. and when he inserts the thumbdrive the computer explodes in front of him. hey should write a program to do that.. But i was thinkking what if i’m the one who lost it after taking it out? haha.. nvm.. computer center ppl will look thru video to try and catch him. should be a cakewalk.. cos it was so early, almost nobody inside.

The projector upstairs has really suffered so much grief and abuse. Lets take a look.. the poor cover is broken in 4 places! sigh..

Made a small thing to stick on the projector so ppl don’t switch off the power while its still cooling down
