Done

August 10, 2008

I’m finally done for my semester. Done done done! I’m happy because I can finally have a break; breathe; be stress free without having to worry about deadlines. It felt like a short semester but at the same time, it’s also been one hectic semester for me. I remember those days when I have to work and then take the bus straight to downtown campus to meet my classmate to work on our projects.. and spending countless hours there. Thats why when everything was done, it’s a huge relieve for me. Like when the sun finally comes out after days of endless rain.

So the day I looked forward to the most, 080808, finally came. I also got my Lumix FX36 in white <3 It matches with my other babes .. my U600 and my Vaio CR ;) I also got a pair of dangly silver & beaded earrings and loads of instant camera film <3

I feel very Thankful and Blessed for everything. Thank you.

Time is flying.

July 26, 2008

Time is really flying. The past week has been so busy that I honestly feel like a robot and a zombie. The ratio of work to sleep is like 3:1. Haha. But I’m still alive, still hanging in there. Despite the busy schedule, I’m very thankful for many things in life. It truly took “a lot of prayers to get me through” (Backstreet Boys – The Perfect Fan).

Today I almost missed the deadline for a small assignment for one of my course… and luckily, I didn’t miss it and even finished it on time. Thank God. Even though it’s not a lot of marks, but every effort helps.

Since my last post(s), I’ve been researching a lot on the laptops… and I have to say that I no longer have the Vaio NR series in mind. Instead, the CR series is what I’m looking into. Like I mentioned before, if I wasn’t going anywhere, NR series is quite appealing – in terms of price and style. With that price, part of me is so tempted to purchase it just for the heck of it. Talk about shopping impulse hehe.

I also want a Samsung widescreen LCD!!

Recently ate food: Tim Horton’s chocolate brownie iced cappuccino, caramel chocolate pecan cookie, California rolls, fish cutlet with poppy seed cream salad.

Tech Talk

July 21, 2008

I haven’t blogged for so long… the days have been busy busy with the same old. School, work, school, work. But today, I won’t be blogging about school nor work ;)

But I do want to blog about the 3G iPhone! It has been released for more than a week now (at least in Canada?). I don’t know why but the hype haven’t hit me yet. Perhaps, because I’m not really a phone person and I’m still very much in love with my white U600. However, I am quite a music person and I’m very attach to my music player but because I already have an iTouch therefore, I’m not tempted to get an iPhone at all. However, I do have to admit the 3G function (internet on the go) for the iPhone is rather appealing. But but.. because the phone plans here suck (hehe).. the 3G function doesn’t make it that appealing.

Next topic is laptop because I do have plans to purchase a new one. I do have a budget so it is quite a tough decision for me to pick the right one. I have the Sony NR series in mind which is under my budget. I love the design and the specs are good enough for me. The only problem I have is the 15.4″ size which is bigger than my current one. (Honestly, I wouldn’t mind IF I wasn’t going out of the country… but I AM..). Looking at the specs, if I compare it with other models such as Toshiba, Gateway or HP, I can get better specs (plus a mic and cam) for more or less the same price range. So that IS my biggest dilemma. In the back of my mind, I’m also considering the Sony CR series.. but I don’t know if that’s the price I want to spend.

Anyways, I will take my time to think about it.

The last topic is camera. I had an entry titled ‘Camera Talk’ back in May and well, I’ve finally purchased a new digital camera. Well.. the cameras I had in mind all along were the Canon G9 and Nikon P5100 but then I dropped the idea of purchasing a pro-ish camera because I wanted a more compact one. Then the one I was going to purchase was the Canon IXUS 860 but in the end, I got a Panasonic FX36. It won’t be in my hands until August so I’ll blog about it then. Yeah, hopefully in the very near future, I can get my hands on a semi pro camera.. either Canon, Nikon or Ricoh. I also like some of the models from Samsung. Yeah, I love the old school-ish styles <3

Strange Weather

June 5, 2008

Where is the summer? Where is the sun? I’m freezing here :( I remember last year at this time, it was quite warm where I was able to wear shorts and tees.

I’ve started a new photo log. Introducing capturedd.

Yesterday I discovered the 7″ laptop that’s been out for sometime now. The one by Asus. They actually sell it at The Source for no more than $450. It’s affordable and I am tempted to purchase it but then in the back of my mind, I’m asking if it’s really necessary? Because when I first got the iPod Touch, I wanted it because of it’s wifi spec. Well of course, I have no regrets purchasing the iPod Touch .. just that the only time I take advantage of the wifi is when I wake up in the morning and I check if there’s new email on my Gmail inbox. Otherwise, I rarely use it elsewhere. Hmm.
