So happy today. My Macbook is back from the hospital and it's so pretty now. Yippee!! Previously my white Macbook had yellow stains on the palm rest area. So I called up Apple Customer Service and they told me that I can bring it to the service centre so that they can see what's wrong with it. Well, I just have this to say, Apple customer service is the best. My laptop came back with a new skin. No more yellow stains. So so happy. My Macbook looks like new now. 

I can't believe I'm sooooo "lucky". Last Saturday after my shower, as usual I just put my spectacles on my bed so that I can change into my clothes. And then, super smart me decided to sit on my bed to put on my pants and that's when I heard a loud crack. Aargh!! I sat on my spectacles. Well, actually it's not the first time I've sat on my spectacles before but usually it doesn't break cos the bed is soft and it'll kinda protect the spectacles from getting cracked cos it'll sink into the bed. But I guess, this time I was not that lucky. My poor spectacles. Anyway, I was fine with that. I still had a spare pair of spectacles that I could wear until I go back to KL in 2 weeks time (Yippee, can't wait).

Anyway, yesterday, after cooking Maggi Mee and sitting down on the sofa to watch the HK drama series, I noticed that my vision was not clear so I decided to clean my spectacles. And then I noticed something. It was cracked. Aargh!!! I totally do not know what happened? And mind you, this was my spare pair of spectacles. I'm not so blur as to wear my cracked spectacles. After that, I compared it to my original pair of spectacles and noticed that both pairs have a crack at exactly the same place on the same side. What are the odds of that happening? It's freaking crazy.  Sighz.

2 broken pairs of spectacles in the first week of 2009. Is this a good sign or a bad sign? Hmm...really can't wait to find out what 2009 has in store for me.

I've recently been hooked by this game after being introduced to it by Rabbit. She's a bad influence.  Now I'm like crazy about this game. Basically it's kind of like an investment game. You start off with around 8M dollars then try your utmost best to make yourself as rich as possible ie to become a millionaire, centurian, billionaire etc. At the moment I have 7 billion ++ in my hand but it's not enough. I wanna be richer... If only the money were real.

I even have this tracker thingy to see which investments are going up or down. I know, I'm beyond help.  But I'm not lying, try it yourself, and see whether you get hooked or not?

I went to my colleague's house last Saturday for a yummy dinner with crabs, fish, veggie and soup. Such a satisfying dinner. Anyway, while I was there, I saw this poster that teaches kids the alphabet and I was shocked. Now I can understand why the English level is deteriorating. This was what I saw printed on the poster:

L for Lamp (but shows a picture of a light bulb)

R for Ring (but it shows a picture of a bell...I guess they must be thinking of the verb ring ie ring a bell)

S for Sugar (but shows a picture of sweets)

I mean the poster is for teaching kids...can't the people who produced the poster look up the dictionary before doing up the poster? That is so so sad.

Anyway, talking about languages, I've been going for chinese reading and writing classes for a month. It's giving me a headache to remember how to write all those chinese words. I kinda know around 60 characters already. Erm that means another 2040 characters to go before I can read magazines. Sighz...looks like it's a long long road...

I bought this book last week cos been hearing lots about Stephanie Meyer and her Twilight series. But then I didn't really get the Twilight series cos it's more teenager kinda feel and I'm not really into vampire stories nowadays (due to the many vampire movies that I watched whilst in Singapore). So when I saw this book last week and after reading the synopsis behind, it seemed like a good read. Although it was kinda pricey at HKD150+ but the book is quite thick so I suppose that's a reasonable price. Well, I kinda left the book on my bed after I bought it cos have been pretty busy during the weekends. But last night, I decided to flip open the book and started reading since I was bored and had nothing to do. And I really enjoyed the book. I've only read like a quarter of the book but I'm so like kan cheong with how things will work out in the end. The story is about an alien race that invades the Earth. These beings are called Souls and they use humans as their host ie they are placed into human bodies and then start to control and take over the humans. The main focus is on this girl called Melanie who has a Soul called the Wanderer in her. Wanderer tries to probe Melanie's mind to find out about other human survivors whilst Melanie keeps releasing images of a guy she loved before being taken over by the Soul. Really can't wait to find out whether they'll get to meet the guy. Going to continue reading tonite.

Drat it, my wish didn't come true...how crappy is that? Wishing on stars don't work. Sighz...so guess if I want an Iphone, it'll have to come out of my own pocket. And my pockets are so empty at the moment. How great is that? I just don't get it. How come I'm always so interested in buying Techie stuff. It's like at this moment, I'm really thinking about Iphone and getting a DSLR camera. Before this, it was getting a laptop and of course I did give in, in the end and bought my beautiful white Mac Book. The curse of being a shopaholic...

What is so great about an Iphone and a DSLR? Well below are my top 5 reasons for buying them:

Iphone

1) It's from Apple and complements my Macbook perfectly.

2) It has GPS so a blur person like me with no sense of direction whatsoever will never get lost during her shopping trips.

3) It works as in Ipod so I can listen to great songs during boring MTR rides.

4) It has a touch screen which makes it super duper cool. "Slide to Unlock" - How cool is that?

5) Best of all, I can Facebook and blog anytime I want.

DSLR Camera

1) I wanna take nice photos at night and my compact can't do that.

2) I wanna take close up pictures of food. Usually when I take them with my compact, there'll be flash and makes the photo like super white and you actually can't see the food clearly. Horrible ugly pictures.

3) They have more MPs. My current compact has only 3.2MPs.

4) Every serious blogger has one...and I want to pretend to be a serious blogger.

5) It's cool to look like a professional photographer even though I'm not one.

Reason why I should not buy an Iphone or a DSLR camera.

Life is difficult.

Was in the MTR today listening to songs on my phone when this random thought pop into my head. I suddenly thought of what my pastor in KL used to say about how women are prompted by words but men by visuals. And apparently he also said that if a guy keeps telling a girl that he likes her, sooner or later she'll be in love with him because of the words he spoke to her. I kinda figured my pastor was joking and didn't take him seriously until today. I just realised that what he said might be true cos I've been listening to this song on my handphone (I know it's sad cos I listen to one song repeatedly) and I found out that I'm beginning to like the song more and more. Is that freaky or what?

The only memorable part of this trip was an incident that happened at the hotel. I'll call it the 'Durian Incident'. I was so blur and craving so much for durians that I bought a packet of durians from Carrefour and then brought it to my hotel room to have as dessert. Unfortunately, it was the bitter kind so I couldn't finish the pack and kept the remaining portion in the fridge. Guess what, I got a call from the hotel manager the next day (can't believe they had to go and call my office for such a small thing) and told me that durians are not allowed to be consumed in the hotel premises and they have removed it from my room and kept it in the kitchen fridge. I was to collect the durian when I return to the hotel. So when I got back, I went to the counter and demanded for my durians....and ta daa....no one had any idea about my durians....it was stolen. How crappy is that. As if getting scolded is not enough, they have to go and steal my durians as well. Poor me.......
