Evolution

The most fascinating characteristic about human nature is its ability to evolve; to change and adapt to its environment. Everyone changes, some change for the better earlier while some turn for the worse with time, I too am no exception. In my evolutionary journey, I have come to realize that the human heart is an extremely vulnerable and tender object; in many cases the Achilles heel of a great many individuals. Emotions too betray rationale thought and are only liabilities in our journey to greater heights. I only keep what I need and I have no regrets with regards to the path I decided to take this. No anger, no sadness, no feelings of remorse, nothing at all whatsoever. Till the next entry.

Prologue

I like what I can't have. 

I love what I detest the most. 

I usually try to end what I have not yet began,

Cause I always say what I do not truly feel. 

Best weekend in a long time :)

Thanks for the company :) and for making the whole trip a truly memorable one :)

Facts of life

Interesting facts about my life in the dorms:

1.) I have yet to find the water-cooler, so I am still drinking mineral water purchased from Cheers like I am in some third world country.

2.) The entire campus doesn't sell proper shampoo short of the hair-loss one by Pantene at Cheers.

3.) My lecture group being over enthusiastic as it already is (which is by no means a bad thing... I think.) leaves me wondering how my first tutorial will go.

4.) I train in my own room cause there is no where else to set up the bike trainer and the bike. 

5.) I siphon itunes song-list from people on the network. (NO... just the song list... and two movies so far.)

My fourth day in the hall and I am already wondering how I survived for so long. It does leave a sense of nostalgia brining back the good old memories of my SISPEC days in camp, lest the presence of good company. Well hopefully I do well enough to execute plan b in a couple of months time :)

Lucy the Lifesaver... Tech version

I received my first macbook in March as a birthday present from my aunt and mum. I have never been a very tech-savvy person and the fact that it took nearly a lifetime to get myself accustomed to working with a laptop (I was working in IBM... so... it definitely wasn't an apple product (: ) and having to make another switch to another OS certainly did not seem very appealing. But anyway, the switch  was made and I can safely say that it was the best move I have ever made in a long time. 

Now that I have got the history of how I got my first MACbook out of the way, its time to get on with the story. 2008 not only marks the end of 2007, my 21st anniversary on this earth or me finishing up with my national service commitment but it also marks my inaugural year in NUS. So with that in mind, I must add that the Mac could not have arrived at a better a time. With greater control over my time and life, I proceeded to explore just what exactly made the MAC the MAC. 

I have always been having trouble with my wireless connection and the new and improved Airport by Apple certainly eliminated those wireless dis-connection problems. By far, getting rid of the connection problem certainly was the biggest gift the MAC could give me. The Leopard OS too was something to reckon with. The OS proved to be extremely user-friendly and it didn't take me too long to start wizzing around the Leopard's internal applications like a Pro. I certainly can't provide a better application analysis than the tons of reviews out there online and in the millions of magazines out there... but... hell they are simply amazing. 

Applications aside, the next thing about the MAC that simply got me going was the sleek, gorgeous shell encasing all that amazing technology. The white casing, smooth exterior and that glowing apple logo outshining everything in a dark room... simply if I may add here... ORGASMIC :)

Staying in the dormitories certainly can be lonesome at times (Especially in a single dormitory as a freshman), and having my MACbook around certainly makes the nights a lot less lonelier. Listening to music, chatting with friends, movie-watching and blogging... none of it would have been possible without my trusty little sidekick. I spend so much time with the MACbook that I even decided to call her Lucy (No harm getting a little bit more personal with something so beautiful aye?) Let's just say that my love affair with "Lucy" has only gotten better with time and will get better with time to come.

Store-room

My new room in NUS is the size of my store-room. It does have a LAN outlet, a couple of power sockets here and there and a whole suite of other basic amenities, but I just don't think its going to work out for me. The lack of space and the absence my little furry companion is just too much to bare... just an update :) back to the books :)

Starting point

I spent a couple hours today drawing up and editing my training program. Writing it was easy... the sight of lines of numbers and letters filling up the diary certainly brought joy to my dampened soul... till the reality of what those numbers and letters really meant to me set in... but as the saying goes... "An idle mind is the devil's workshop" and the put things in perspective, the devil himself has already succeeded building himself a whole new resort in my little factory... its time to clear the cobwebs and jump-start that little 3 lbs of muscle in there. Just sidetracking a bit, PS1101E looks tedious and boring.... argh.
