I was acting busy AGAIN today and chanced upon this hilarious article written by an icelander about the impending iphone launch outside the US. To quote him "You can’t be cool these days with a Sony Ericcsson. Motorola is so 2006. And forget about those bricks Nokia tries to pass off as phones. Cool is iPhone..." Really? Now where does that leave me - I carry a 2-year-old Samsung that only has basic camera/phone functions. Don't even talk to me about 3G - wtf?

Author goes on to say "While the people of Madagascar, Qatar, Uruguay, New Zealand and the Dominican Republic [and sunny Singapore] will be conference calling one another about how wonderful and hip life is since the dawn of the iPhone, Iceland was not marked in red. In fact, Iceland didn’t even make the map. According to Apple’s forecast, after the launch of the new 3G iPhone there will be nothing but the deep, blue sea between the West coast of Norway and the East coast of Canada. Apparently Apple plans to carpet bomb the North Atlantic with 3G iPhones until the islands of Iceland and Greenland sink back into the ocean whence they came." Well, i must say, he has a knack for words and imagery. Hahahaha.

Singapore [IS marked in RED] and Singaporeans are apparently up in a frenzy over these supposed pieces of cutting-edge technology. Priced at USD199, i heard that you have to write in to SingTel to apply for one of these things and there's no guarantee that you'll get the darn thing. it's up to their discretion who eventually ends up with one! poowee! better make some good friends within SingTel now if you even want to smell one of these babies. GEEK ALERT!! =P

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
