Battle of the PDAs

Now that my trusty Palm Tunsten T isn't all that trusty anymore, I had to start looking ard for a suitable replacement. Of the multitudes of PDAs and Smartphones in the marketplace now, I've shortlisted my potentials to the following 2 models, a Samsung i620 and Eten Glofiish X800.

It is amazing how dependent I've become on my PDAs. Similar to the cell, these gadgets are essential to my everyday life and without them, I'd feel like I'm walking on the streets in boxers... :p funny how 20 yrs ago, we functioned perfectly in a world without cells, PDAs, laptops and a host of "everyday essential" gadgets. B-ism: Have the modern day electonics taken over the primary function of the brain? And what happens when they (gadgets) fail us?

Have a look at the pics and videos and lemme know what you think yea?

THE SAMSUNG i620

Learn to Speak Hokkien (MA+)

ellos...its been pretty long since the last post huh? so instead of melancholy songs, here's something pretty hilarious. It's the very first step anyone wanting to learn hokkien has to take....learning vulgarities. :)
(disclaimer: it's alittle vulgar so you have been warned.)





And to the plain funny...many of you would have heard this Star Wars clip on Class 95FM, but this is the video version of it....



And something hilarious on Lord of the Rings...you have to sit till the end...

And the melancholy continues...

Just a quick entry since it is oredi so late (early??!!) in the morning...

Can seem to shake those feelings since the earlier post, so might as well jus give in to it for alittle while more. Often instead of rejecting such feelings, it might be better to embrace it and let it run its course.

So here is the other sad sad track from GA Season 3 finale. (Mich you are not allowed to play this track :p).

Season of Melancholy

Not too sure why, but this season of comedies and dramas alike seem to follow the receipt of sad endings which would earn the curses of "happy ending" advocates, but keep them coming back for more. But it still doesn't stop you from feeling the rush of mixed emotions that come after watching the episodes or listening to the soundtracks.

If you followed thru the two seasons of "How I met your mother", you would have felt such a pang when Ted and Robin finally decided that it was for the best that they end the relationship owing to their different expectations. But what happened to the feelings they had then when they took the entire season 1 trying to get together? B-ism: Are feelings fleetingly temporal, with no regard of past emotions, jus present circumstances?

Grey's Anatomy Season 3 had a really powerful ending with the most appropriate song to go with it. Found it after scouting around but you really gotta watch the finale to fully appreciate its depth. It's by Ingrid Michaelson, called "Keep Breathing". Enjoy (oh btw, you have to click the play button twice for the music to start...dun ask me why, it just is).

Jobs and rude awakenings.

Had come to a sad realisation some weeks ago that I've been sitting on my fat arse procrestinating on my job hop issues for far too long. The initial plan was to fervently start (beginning of this yr) my job search, scouring thru the web and internet for local opportunities, as well as to decide if heading over to the UK would be a viable option (reckon my parents would have alot to say abt that). And that'll be enuff for another full bog entry...

It wasn't that I haven't been looking or sending out applications. It's just that everything that I thought I'd have wanted (jobs) turned out either really different from what I made it out to be, or that the doors keep getting slammed in my face...even the ones that seemed really possible...sigh...

Now a conversation I had with my b-i-l some time ago came rushing thru my head, and distinctively one sentence keeps echoing in my head...it doesn't matter how much or hard you try, if it's not in His plan, there will never be an outcome watsoever. Funny thing is that God does have a sense of humour and the joke is always on you. Instead of sending out job applications like a shotgun, and praying for the right one to respond, why not PRAY first and then watch the opportunities open up for you...

B-ism: We KNOW someone up there is looking out for us, all we have to do is trust in Him. But why do we still worry?

Jus got ad-ed

It's been a great Easter long weekend. And what makes it even better is that for some reason, the MD decided that we all should take an extra day off on Tuesday. Eat your hearts out people! :p

Popped by Mich's blog for a quick browse and realised that I've been ad-ed. Got posted advertising yours truly as the single, D man that Australia says no to (???!!!). B-ism...since when did a single man automatically become desperate? Single men get it best of all worlds. Go out with whoever they want, whenever they want, and (check this out) as many as they want! :p

The first step in a million more to come...

Been reading heaps of frens' blogs in the past so I've decided that it is time for me to also start something new (also bcos my 5-yr old laptop jus died on me, and I managed to procure a spanking new IBM / Lenovo T60). :) time to explore all the lost possibilities limited by the very ancient machine.

So watch this space...
